Colony Farm plan raises alarm bells Commercialization concerns locally By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Members of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and several Coquitlam city coun-
cillors are worried Metro Vancouver’s plans for a farming academy at Colony Farm Regional Park could lead to the commercialization of the park. Metro is moving ahead with plans that would introduce sustainable food production to the site and work
as a research and training ground for urban agriculture. But Elaine Golds, president of the Burke Mountain Naturalists, said she is disappointed with the plan and believes the region has not considered the impacts of the proposal. More ag-
riculture in the park could increase human-wildlife conflicts, she said, noting she is also concerned with the types of agreements that could be signed with organizations that would operate the academy. “All of those things need to be thought out very carefully
when you start introducing commercial agriculture into the park,” said The Tri-City News’ Green Scene columnist. “I have no comfort level with what I have seen so far. “It is a park and a park is for the people.” Several Coquitlam councillors also had reservations
about the Metro plan. Coun. Selina Robinson said Metro Vancouver would have a tough time convincing Coquitlam residents the academy and increased agriculture at the park is a good idea. see FARM ACADEMY ACADEMY,, page A18
Battling for int’l ed. bucks & bodies International ed. is worth $16M to SD43 By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The world’s children are coming to the Tri-Cities to learn but keeping them here or attracting new students is a constant battle. School District 43 has to work ever harder to maintain enrolment at a steady 1,000 students a year because competition is getting fiercer and global economic conditions are in flux, Patricia Gartland, the district’s director of global engagement and strategic initiatives told trustees at a board of education meeting Tuesday. “You can’t ever take any of it for granted,” Gartland said as she gave an accounting of the year’s activities to Tri-City trustees. S D 4 3 ’s i n t e r n at i o n a l education prog ram has won world renown — and, recently, recognition in two national publications, The Globe and Mail and Maclean’s — for being one of the largest in the country. Fees the students pay contribute $16 million to the district’s bottom line, or 6.5% of the operating budget, and schools get extra grants and more teachers with money from the $12,000-per-student annual fees. see 400 KIDS KIDS,, page A14

From gravel to green (fake) grass: How much to spend? Input will help Moody council determine what changes to make to busy Inlet Park Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
The Tri-Cities have several new red light cameras at what police are calling high-risk intersections.
Smile, you could be on camera Red light cameras installed at several local intersections Five red light cameras went live in the Tri-Cities this week in an effort to reduce serious crashes and prevent traffic injuries and fatalities. According to ICBC, 40% of police-attended traffic accidents occur at intersections and the province is hoping motorists will be more cautious knowing cameras are in place. “We’ve seen too often the carnage of intersection crashes,” said RCMP Lower Mainland traffic services Supt. Norm Gaumont. “High-risk driving has no place on our roads and we’ll do everything we can to go after those drivers who have a complete disregard for others.” In Coquitlam, intersection safety cameras went live at Lougheed Highway and Pinetree Way, Barnet Highway and Mariner Way and Guildford Way; and Lougheed at Pitt River Road. A total of three cameras will be in operation in Port Coquitlam by the end of the year and so far one has been installed one the Mary Hill Bypass at Pitt River Road and another at the bypass and Shaughnessy Street. The province insists the program is meant to improve safety on local roads, not increase the number of ticket revenue brought in by the cameras. ICBC said that sites were chosen based on accident statistics and more than 140 cameras would be placed at B.C.’s highest-risk intersections.

Port Moody residents are getting a chance to weigh in on three concept plans for upgrading Inlet Park from gravel to artificial turf. But whether the project ends up on council’s to-do list will depend on public support and cost. PoMo is already going into debt to fund construction of a new fire hall and upgrading Inlet Park to turf would also require a loan — between $3.7 million and $5.7 million depending on the size of the project and amenities. The city’s director of community services, Ron Higo, said he’s hoping people will take a look at the concept plans and the cost, then make their views known through an online survey or an open house next Tuesday, Sept. 20. “That information will be included in a report to council when we collect everything,” Higo said, adding that the report could be ready this fall. Depending on the timing of the report, the project could even be an election issue in the civic vote, slated for Nov. 19. Four years have passed since Port Moody Soccer Association asked the city to look into the possibility of upgrading the gravel field, which is used for soccer and softball, and has a small parking lot and field house. The group contributed $10,000 toward a $30,000 feasibility study conducted by R.F. Binnie and Associates Ltd., a municipal engineering and surveying company. Three concept plans have been developed and refined after input at a community meeting earlier this year:
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A feasibility study is underway for a possible redevelopment of Inlet Park in Port Moody, located in the 3200-block of Murray Street. The park currently has a gravel field for soccer, softball and slo-pitch, a field house, bleachers and an access trail that connects to Shoreline Trail. It is the home field of the Port Moody Soccer Association. • Option A proposes to expand the site slightly to 15,000 square metres, cover the gravel field with artificial turf, and add benches, a field house and 41 parking stalls at a cost of $3.7 million. • Option B proposes a 16,700 sq. m site with 81 parking stalls but a similar layout for the turf field to accommodate softball and soccer at a cost of $3.8 million. • Option C would add a second artificial turf field, provide room for 104 parking stalls and double the size of the site area from 13,300 sq. m now to 26,840 sq. m, requiring an greater encroachment onto the park as well as an enhanced entrance at the intersection of Klahanie Drive and Murray Street; it would cost $5.7 million. The tax impact would range from a 1%
hike — a cost of about $16 per house — to 1.65%, or a cost of $25.58 per household. Higo said other user groups, including the PoMo Soccer Association, are being invited to make their comments on the proposals Links to the online survey as well as more details about the tax impact and the drawings are available on city’s website, www. cityofportmoody.ca. PoMo residents can find out more about the proposals at an open house in the Galleria at city hall on Tuesday, Sept. 20 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Currently, the city has 19 soccer pitches and 13 ball diamonds, including turf fields at Heritage Woods secondary school and behind the PoMo rec complex. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Another step for PM fire hall By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A new Port Moody fire hall got a step closer to reality Tuesday with city council’s approval of a phased borrowing plan for the $11-million project. The city will borrow $6 million through a Municipal Finance Authority bond issue this spring for construction of the threestorey, 20,000-square-foot LEED (Leadership in Environmental Design) silver building on Knowle Street. Acting city manager Colleen Rohde said $2 million in reserves will be used to begin design and geotechnical work this fall, with the city borrowing another $3 million once final costs are in. The hope is that the city may be able to reduce the amounted needed from the $9-million borrowing limit set by council as costs

are known and early site preparation risks have passed. One big concern, according to a design brief approved by council Tuesday, is the unknown ground conditions of the Knowle Street property and the city won’t know more until geotechnical, environmental and archeological investigations are completed. But approval of the phased funding will allow the city to select an architect and award the contract, Rohde said, possibly as early as next month. The city is also looking for a project manager. The design brief approved by council sets out the scope of the project, which will be a post-disaster structure with space for equipment, firefighters’ quarters, administration and training, and is supposed to last 50 years. The building will also be twice as large as the current building and slightly larger than some halls in neighbouring cities.

Still, some financial juggling will have to take place to accommodate construction costs. In a related bylaw, council updated its 2011 financial plan to meet requirements of the Municipal Financing Authority and several changes were noted. For one, an assessment appeal of the Mill and Timber property to $15 million from $20 million cut into reserves by $279,700, leaving only $235,300. To make up the difference and cover associated costs, plans to remediate the Barnet landfill have been scaled back by $1 million, leaving $1.3 million to fund that work. It’s anticipated that the borrowing costs for the $11 million fire hall project will be $361,000 in 3012 and $541,00 from 2013 to 2015. For more information about project details and the finance plan, visit www.cityofportmoody.ca and look for the Sept. 13 agenda under “city hall business.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Trash talk in PoCo The city of Port Coquitlam is hoping to push residents’ household waste diversion rate to at least 70%, a goal set by the Metro Vancouver region. Currently, the city diverts 62% of its waste from the landfill, thanks in large part to the city’s successful kitchen waste and recycling programs. But the increases have stalled in the last year and the city is hoping a renewed effort from residents could push the municipality past the regional goal. About 75% of what is typically thrown away can go into green and blue carts, according to a city press release. The city has continued to develop its waste-reduction program this year, with the expansion of the green cart program to multi-family complexes, the introduction of green and blue cart collection at schools, and more opportunities for waste sorting in the community.
your
Residents can now separate their food scraps and cans/bottles at both of Port Coquitlam’s recreation centres, at civic events such as the Rivers and Trails Festival on Sept. 25, and in some public locations, including Shaughnessy Street. For more information about the city’s waste diversion efforts go to www.portcoquitlam.ca/wasteloss.
PORT MOODY TRASH
Port Moody has also seen similar success with its waste diversion efforts. According to the city, the percentage of trash being diverted from the landfill jumped from 40%, where it sat for decades, to about 60% in about six months. The increase followed Port Moody’s decision to bring its waste collection efforts in-house, which the city said gave more flexibility. The city’s efforts did not stop at 60% diversion and, as of the end of July, the average diversion rate in 2011 was 75%. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Disaster routes change By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The city of Coquitlam is making changes to its disaster response routes, which are used by first responders in the aftermath of a major emergency. The network is comprised of roads, waterways, rail lines and air corridors that can move people and resources in and out of the area should an earthquake or other disaster hit the region. Disaster response route signs will be removed along Johnson Street and added to Pinetree Way between the B a r n e t / L o ug h e e d interchange north to David Avenue. According to a staff report, this will give first responders greater access to the Town Centre area, where most of the city’s emergency operations, fire department and heliport are located. Signs will also be added along David Av e n u e b e t w e e n Coast Meridian Road and the Port Moody border, which would provide an alternate connection between Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. Increased access to transfer points along the Fraser River, including the Maquabeak boat launch, will be facilitated by extending road signs south long Mariner Way. Other city news:
MATTS OK’D
Preliminary measures that would allow the cold/wet weather mat program to operate in Coquitlam this winter were approved by the city’s land use committee on Monday. The mat program has operated in the Tri-Cities since 2007, giving homeless people a warm place to sleep during the cold months. Many residents spoke against the initiative when it was first introduced but opposition to the program has disappeared in recent years. Extending the temporary use permits for the church’s involved has quietly become an annual occurrence at city hall while the Tri-Cities continues to pursue funding for a permanent shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave. The temporary shelters will be operated by the Hope For Freedom Society. The temporary use permit will come before the full council for a decision at an upcoming meeting.

$ for playgrounds Four local middle schools to get equipment funding By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Four Tri-City middle schools have been chosen by the province to get new playgrounds under an $8-million plan to ensure every elementary and middle school in B.C. has equipment for children to play on. The news came as a surprise to Como Lake middle parent advisory council chair Jacquie Hutchins, who learned her school will get one of the $50,000 playgrounds. “It hasn’t been a priority but it sure will be nice,” said Hutchins, who said the playground equipment will be a good addition to the sports court parents fundraised for and built five years ago. Although playgrounds aren’t top of mind for the PAC, which has been occupied by other priorities, such as fundraising for buses for field trips, Hutchins said she is looking forward to finding out more about the project. Three other School District 43 middle schools — Citadel, Kwayhquitlum and Maillard — will also get up to $50,000 each for playground equipment. They were among 44 schools getting new equipment in the two-year playground grant program, which gives priority to schools without playgrounds. SD43 secretary treasurer Rick Humphreys told trustees at a board of education meeting Tuesday that the schools were picked by the province after the district submitted an inventory of
playground equipment over the summer. Premier Christy Clark announced the plan at a press conference the day after saying she wouldn’t call a fall election. Clark said she wanted to build new playgrounds and update older playgrounds so kids have a safe space to play and will be “happier, healthier and ready to learn.” She also said she will make changes to capital agreements for new elementary schools to require playgrounds to be part of the new construction. As well, schools that are putting in playgrounds this year could also be eligible for reimbursements. The board chair, Port Moody Trustee Melissa Hyndes, said she hopes that doesn’t mean parents have to pay for playgrounds first and then get reimbursed. “Some of these PACs may not have the money to go forward,”said Hyndes, who wants more information about how the program will work. Keeping playgrounds safe is an ongoing concern for the district, according to Humphreys, who told trustees playgrounds have to be continuously monitored for safety problems. Just this week, vandals unbolted playground equipment at an elementary school. And one Port Coquitlam school is still without most of its school playground after vandals torched the slide, trolley and much of the climbing equipment over the summer. Insurance will cover $30,000 in replacement costs for the playground at Birchland elementary but it won’t be delivered for another eight weeks. A representative for the school PAC said parents raised nearly $50,000 for the equipment, which was installed in 2008. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

City talks tennis to determine needs Study will look at whether more courts or tourney facility are needed in Coq.
EXISTING TENNIS COURTS IN COQUITLAM
By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The city of Coquitlam is launching a feasibility study to determine whether more tennis courts, including a tournament-level facility, should be built here. With the growing popularity of the sport, there is a limited number of indoor courts and staff said expansion of tennis facilities could be a good long-term investment for the city. Conducting a study would require $10,000 from the city’s recreation capital fund, which staff expect would be matched by Tennis Canada. There are currently 35 tennis courts in the municipality and the feasibility study would determine sites for future courts and the feasibility and potential location of a tournament facility. Consultations will take place between the city and local tennis groups but councillors said they would like to hear the opinions of everyday court users. “I want to get everyone’s ideas,” said Coun. Mae Reid. “Quite often, we seek input from our sports groups...

but I want to make sure this is really inclusive.” The study will also look at the number of Coquitlam residents who travel outside of the municipality in order to play tennis at neighbouring facilities. A similar study in Vancouver found that 50% of respondents would play tennis more often if courts were more accessible. Coquitlam staff said the study will take several months to complete and expect to present their findings to council in the winter. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

ith a national hero, Terry Fox, being a hometown boy, it’s no surprise that the Terry Fox Run has become a Tri-City institution. Indeed, it could be argued that the support for his cause is possibly stronger here than anywhere else. No fewer than four runs are taking place in the Tri-Cities this Sunday to raise funds for the Terry Fox Foundation. That means there is no shortage of opportunities to contribute to the family run fund that has collected more than $500 million worldwide. But Terry’s legacy doesn’t stop there. In fact, his dream is an international phenomenon, with folks from Dubai to India running and raising money to further his dream of ending cancer. Terry has been described as a simple guy with a big dream. He understood that great things could be accomplished if everyone did a little bit. He took the first step and now — especially now, following the death of Betty Fox — we must pick up the torch.

ere in Chicago, the ever-present ice cream man is still on the block, with his melodic bell piercing the air and enticing throngs of hungry children on their way home from school. He is one of the last signs of summer that will indeed be gone in a week. Everything is heading back to “normal” once again as the population’s youth are back in their classrooms. This past week, I had my last first day of school as I’m on track to receive my bachelors degree in May, and I have recently begun to realize how much my identity is tied to being a student. I cannot remember a time when I was not one. You save four dollars at the movies and get discounts for theatre, museum and concert admissions, so you’re telling me
that now I have to pay full price? Any time a form asks you to state your occupation, I have always ticked Student; there are always a lot of other choices, sometimes broad, sometimes specific but I have always beelined to the Student box, and now I can’t help but wonder what new box will I check next? Will that part of the form remain blank? For how long will the “occupation” box remain unmarked? America is the land of the free, the home of the brave and, for the past three years, my home, and if there is one thing I have seen in my past three years, it is that jobs are not an easy thing to come by these days. The prospect of walking across the stage with a cap and gown on and receiving my university degree is exciting but also terrifying. The prospect of entering the job market in this economy is about as exciting as being attacked by wild cats. I met a man on the train the other day who was a successful interior designer but since the economy has taken a turn, he has to moonlight at a pizzeria and a septic disposal

“The prospect of walking across the stage with a cap and gown on and receiving my university degree is exciting but also terrifying.” Naomi Yorke company (fantastic combination, I know). Even the idea of starting at the bottom of the ladder is not so promising; even if you climb the ladder, you may take a fall off it and confront survival jobs like this. In the year 2011 is there is such a thing as one solid career for the lifetime? Does everyone have to put on the entrepreneurial hat? I know I have said before that the life of a student has many challenges but it has become clear that life has many challenges. During your college years, you are pushed
harder than you ever thought you could, you learn to navigate situations, and predict and anticipate for possible outcomes. But it is all theoretical, and soon it will be time to put the theory into practice. I have made good decisions and bad decisions. I am excited about what the future holds — excited but also unsure. The carousel music of the ice cream truck sure can make me nostalgic for the carefree days of running in the house and demanding money for the most important thing: ice cream. But for now, with the sound of the ice cream man in the distance, I shall buckle down and prepare for the best year of my school career. This is the year of big decisions and final creations. It is my year to make the future happen. Naomi Yorke is a Port Coquitlam student who lived in Shanghai, China for four years, writing about her experiences twice a month for The Tri-City News. She now lives in Chicago, where she’s attending art school, and continues her column.

FACE TO FACE: Should Canada bring back its post-9/11 anti-terrorism laws?
Anti-terror laws keep us all safer I
applaud the Stephen Harper government’s decision to bring back anti-terrorism measures that expired in 2007 — measures that allow police to detain suspects for up to 72 hours without a warrant and allow judges to compel witnesses to testify. When the legislation was introduced shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, the Liberal federal government said the provisions had three main objectives: to suppress existing terrorist groups, to provide police with new investigative tools and to toughen prison sentences for terrorists. The need to pursue these objectives still exists today. While billions of dollars have been invested in security measures, more information-sharing with allies and tighter controls on the movement of passengers, cargo and vehicles since 9/11, threats of terror still exist. In particular, Canada is at risk to home-grown terrorist attacks, as evidenced by the 2006 Toronto 18 case, where a group of young Muslim men, enraged by Canada’s military involvement in Afghanistan and fuelled by violent jihadi videos, plotted to storm Parliament Hill and detonate truck bombs in downtown Toronto. There was also the 2010 Ottawa terror cell that authorities
suspect was part of a bombing and terror financing plot that stretched from Canada to the Middle East. Given the current realities of the world, Canadians must avoid complacency and continue to be vigilant against potential terrorist attacks. Other democracies have also chosen similar measures to combat terrorism in the post 9/11 era. In Australia, for example, terror suspects are allowed to be held for seven days without charge. In the U.K., authorities can detain suspects for up to two weeks. For critics of the policy, it’s also important to note that in the five years the preventive detention legislation was active in Canada, it was never used. Nevertheless, I’m sure my colleague opposite will trumpet the prevailing rhetoric about how the legislation will trample human rights. But where is my right, as a lawabiding citizen, to live in peace and security? I want to know that the police have the tools at their disposal to suppress terrorist activity. I’m comforted the Conservative government will give prosecutors the levers to build strong cases against mongers of terror so that judges can put them away for a long time.

vs. “We haven’t done anything to make them angry. We haven’t invaded them or bombed their countries.” Jim Nelson What’s your take on this week’s Face to Face topic and what they have to say? Email your thoughts to newsroom@tricitynews.com.
rime Minister Stephen Harper wants to re-introduce Canada’s anti terrorism law, which expands police powers, allowing them to detain suspected terrorists without charge for 72 hours and giving them the authority to force testimony from anyone at an investigative hearing. The Civil and Charter of Rights dangers of this law are considerable and are alone enough to warrant our vigourous opposition to it. It’s not very Canadian — at least what we defined as Canadian before Mr. Harper took over as PM. I must confess, however, that it is this law’s part in this definition of Canadianism that worries me more than does the inevitable time when a police force abuses this law by detaining a few political protesters or other dubious terrorists. Re-introducing this law is the latest in a series of steps Harper has taken to move Canada toward supporting and emulating U.S. style foreign policy. Some other steps are: the F-35 bomber purchase, Mr. Harper’s personal support for the Iraq War, the unquestioned deporting of U.S. war resistors living in Canada, aggressively siding with Israel and the increasing use of Americanisms such as “cut and run,” “the war on terror,” “support our troops” and
“God Bless Canada” in his rhetoric. These steps tell the world that Canada no longer defends international solutions. They say that Canada not only supports, but will fight alongside, the U.S. in international disputes. Majority in hand and under the cover of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Prime Minister Harper suggests that this law — never once used, and expired since 2007 — is now crucial to defending us from what he calls Canada’s biggest threat: Islamic terrorism. I’m sorry but I cannot help but feel that despite Mr. Harper’s concern, Toronto’s CN Tower, Montreal’s Olympic Stadium, Vancouver’s Rogers Arena and the PNE are in little danger from Islamic jihadists. We haven’t done anything to make them angry. We haven’t invaded them or bombed their countries or called them names like “axes of evil.” We didn’t participate in the Iraq war and we have, until recently, maintained an international outlook. The only way Canada will be in danger from Islamic terrorism is if the PM continues to move Canada away from our traditional international perspective and toward a partisan embrace of the American war on terror.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Garbage shouldn’t rule lives The Editor, Re. “Pick up trash every week” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 14). Before Saeed Nejatali goes charging off to the polls, the letter writer should consider the following: In Port Coquitlam, green garbage (garden clippings and kitchen waste) is picked up weekly during that part of the year when warmer weather may cause quicker decay/

400 kids recruited for fall continued from front page
While the money is important, Gartland told trustees, the program’s goal is to prepare students for a globalized world. And keeping it going takes constant attention; for example, the program recruited 400 students just this fall and will need to find another 250 mid-year to cover attrition. “Some markets, [the students] have shorter stays and you have much greater turnover,” Gartland said. To keep filling the draining bucket, relationships have to be
maintained with agents, sister schools and even individual families, and new markets have to be developed. Now that fewer students are coming from South Korea, SD43 is turning to new markets in China, Turkey, Latin America and Vietnam, where economies are currently stronger. This year, for example, 19 students enrolled from Brazil, eight of whom are attending high school; four students have come from Columbia; six from Mexico; four from Turkey; 19 from Thailand; and five from Vietnam. The district has also
developed a long-term relationship with the Hong Kong Education Commission, resulting in the enrolment of 27 students. Other students come from Taiwan (42) and Japan (17). But China could prove to be the biggest market. Gartland noted that 300 students have been recruited from China in the last three years, reflecting the district’s success in partnering with schools there and other strategic relationships. “This, coupled with our Confucius Classroom, reflect our significant presence in the second largest economy in the world,”
IN QUOTES
“Some markets, have shorter stays and you have much greater turnover.” Patricia Gartland she said, referring to a cultural program that enrols more than 480 students per semester in Mandarin classes that run on Friday evenings and Saturdays at two sites. Gartland also noted the relationships developed with China have resulted in cultural oppor-
tunities for all students. This spring, the Nanjing University Traditional Instruments Orchestra played a concert at Port Moody’s Heritage Woods secondary and Coquitlam’s Walton elementary is hosting the Xinhua Newss photo exhibition this fall. As well, several students and teachers received scholarships to study in China this summer. The good news is that the relationships being built now could further the goals of the international education program in the future, she said, noting, “China is still a new market.”

An extra $774k in the bank for SD43 School District 43 is beginning the new school year with better news than usual. Tuesday, the board of education approved the audited financial statements for 2010/’11, which included a $774,369 surplus. But the leftover cash is nothing to get too excited about, the district’s assistant secretary treasurer said. Bob Janzen compared the sum to a $200 saving on a $50,000 family budget. “It’s a razor thin margin,” he said. The statements include details of revenues, operating expenditures and the balance sheet, and show the district spent $290 million to operate schools, including employee benefit pay-outs, services and supplies and the amortization of capital assets. Janzen noted revenue and expenditures were up about $11 million from the year previous due to extra costs and funding associated with full-day kindergarten. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

In addition to a film permit fee for use of the pool, the city received compensation for lost revenue when the pool was closed for the last week of summer vacation plus $15,000 for pool equipment.

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.

Bruce Moore, Terry Fox’s soccer coach when he was in high school, previously suffered cancer and had a cancer scare this summer but was given a clean bill of health from his doctor last week.
Cancer scare reminder of legacy of Terry Fox By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
T
he past few months haven’t been particularly kind to Bruce Moore. In May, the retired Terry Fox secondary teacher and counsellor had to call 911 — he couldn’t breathe. He was rushed to Eagle Ridge Hospital, then Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) for tests. Doctors found a blood clot in his lung. Moore was put on blood thinners but on June 30, the 71-yearold Port Coquitlam resident again complained of respiratory problems. His specialist ordered scans and diagnosed him with lowgrade lymphoma. There were more scans to be done, which proved inconclusive, and at the end of August, a needle biopsy at RCH. He phoned for the results over the Labour Day long weekend, but the offices were closed for the holiday. Finally, last week, he got the news he was looking for: “Negative.” “I was relieved,” he said during an interview at his home yesterday. “I wasn’t jumping for joy but, at last, I knew.” During the summer, he tried to stay positive through all the waiting and wondering: “I have got to deal with it,” he told himself. “I’m going to beat it again. When you go through that — for a second time — all you think of is, When’s the first treatment? It’s not something you look forward to.”
‘IN GOOD HANDS’
The last time Bruce Moore beat cancer was in 2000. He was three weeks away from retiring from teaching when he learned he had non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the abdomen. His sister, 55, had been diagnosed with lung cancer a month before so Moore knew what to expect. “I felt bad because I couldn’t help her,” he said. “We were both
going through the same thing.” He underwent surgery in the summer of 1999, which was followed by three or four months of chemotherapy. He had the same doctor and three nurses Terry Fox had at RCH “so I felt that I was in good hands there,” said Moore, who coached Terry and Fred Fox in soccer at the former PoCo High in the mid-1970s. The check-ups were weekly at first, then less often, until he was declared cancer-free a year later. His sister didn’t see the end of 1999.
‘A BETTER CHANCE’
Moore, father of PoCo Mayor Greg Moore, said he won’t be talking about his latest cancer scare on Sunday when he emcees the Terry Fox Hometown Run, an “honour” he has enjoyed for about a decade. Rather, he said he’ll likely speak about the positive impact Terry Fox had on his life. “My chances with cancer were much better than when Terry was alive,” he said. “Today, Terry probably wouldn’t have lost his leg.” Moore added, “Terry was positive. He was always ‘Be the best that you can be.’ He was first on the field and the last one off. He was focused and determined. “And he took what he learned in the cancer wards from being with those sick kids and became a leader and raised money on their behalf. Thinking back, Moore said: “I never thought I would have a player and a student who would be my hero.” But while he’s thrilled with his recent diagnosis and proud to be part of the Hometown Run, he’ll miss introducing Betty Fox, Terry’s mom, who died in June and who was a fixture at the PoCo run. Moore remembered her and her husband, Rolly, from the PoCo high school days as they attended to their four children.
Run details The 31st annual Terry Fox Run will be held across the country on Sunday, Sept. 18, including four run sites in the Tri-Cities: • Coquitlam (10 a.m. at Blue Mountain Park); • Port Moody (10 a.m. at city hall); • Anmore (noon at the village hall); • and Port Coquitlam, Fox’s hometown (10 a.m. at Hyde Creek rec centre). For the latter, Terry Fox’s father, Rolly, will be a guest of honour. Meanwhile, cancer survivors will be at the start of the runs wearing red shirts, identifying them as Terry’s Team members. Cancer survivors wanting to lead the runs are asked to call the run organizers before Sept. 18 to sign up. Still, he’s looking forward to continuing to spread Terry’s dream of beating cancer one day. Moore is booked to speak at Dr. Charles Best secondary in Coquitlam on Sept. 28 for the National Terry Fox School Run Day. “When I talk to schools, I ask them, ‘How many of you have had family members affected by cancer?’ I’m always surprised at the number because it’s quite a few. It’s hard to find someone who hasn’t been affected. But the high success rate of stopping it has been because of the research, and Terry was very instrumental in opening up the disease and getting people to pay attention. “I believe it’s because of Terry that everybody has a much better chance,” he said. “Me included.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Farm academy could create Mayor Moore will more traffic, enviro issues run for re-election continued from front page
Increased traffic, a larger parking lot on site and the use of animal habitat for farming were some of the issues many residents would have with the region’s plans, she said. “Those are going to be some real concerns for the folks who live here, which is different from the park users that might come far and wide to get here,” she said. “People in Coquitlam are very protective of their parks.” If an academy were to move forward, Coun. Mae Reid pointed out that there are 24-acres across the street, on the Riverview Hospital lands, that could also be considered. And Metro Vancouver should consider a post-secondary institution, like UBC, operating a satellite campus in the area, she said. “I am not excited about the commercialization of this,” Reid said. “I am excited to use it as a
research centre or a teaching f a c i l i t y t h at could combine everything.” According to Metro Va n c o u v e r c o m m i s sioner and ROBINSON CAO Johnny Carline, aspects of commercial agriculture would have to be incorporated at the academy in order to ensure that what is researched and taught can work in the real-world market place. Colony Farm is unique, he said because it is central to the region and once was an operational farm. He added that there are no plans to launch a similar initiative at other regional parks. “There is nobody arguing within our organization that commercial far ming should occur in regional parks,” Carline told Coquitlam’s land use committee during a presentation on
Monday. “I don’t see the size of these lots getting anywhere near the conventional level for someone interested in investing in farming. This is small-scale food production to see how we can sustain this production at this scale on this kind of land.” Port Coquitlam, which also borders Colony Farm, has also been in talks with Metro Vancouver about the academy. Mayor Greg Moore told The Tri-City News the city has waited for the region to conduct its public input sessions before weighing in on the proposal. Moore said his initial reaction to the idea of a agricultural learning centre was positive but cautioned that details still need to be worked out. “There is definitely a need to have some sort of increased education to help our farming community,” he said. “The details of how much the environmental areas are used is a key decision that will have to be made.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Smoking rules under review: PoMo An ancient Persian tradition will be revived in Port Moody thanks to revisions to the city’s smoking bylaw adopted Tuesday. Council approved ch a n g e s t o p e r m i t smoking clubs as long as there is sufficient ventilation and secondhand smoke doesn’t enter other portions of the building. As a result of the unanimous vote, Ali Roshanravan’s “multicultural social club,” where people can listen to music, enjoy tea and smoke a tobaccofree blend of aromatic herbs and dried fruit in a traditional Persian hookah, or water pipe, will now be allowed to go ahead.

An unusually warm and sunny September has resulted in a bounty of produce and an influx of shoppers to Coquitlam’s far mers markets. Plump, sweet peaches, anti-oxidant-rich blueberries and delicate lettuce are among the offerings at the local markets, which are luring people to the farm stands to pick up their fruits and vegetables. There have been lineups at some of the vendors to buy produce that normally might be out of season by now, said Tabitha McLoughlin, executive director of the society that runs the market in the Dogwood Pavilion parking lot (Sundays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and at Coquitlam Spirit Square (last market tonight, Friday, Sept. 16, running 4 to 8 p.m.) “The weather has definitely balanced out what was happening at beginning of the season, when everything was very, very late,” McLoughlin said. As a result, some of the soft fruits, such as cherries, blueberries and peaches, have had a longer season and some of the fall vegetables, such as squash and apples, are just starting to come in now. “ We ’ r e s t i l l s e e ing peaches from the Okanagan and Mission, and they have been fantastic this year, much like the blueberries.” Although tonight is the last night for the Spirit Square market, the Sunday markets will continue through Oct. 30. This Sunday, kids will be treated to several activities to get them involved in their local market. Some children will be selling their own
wares, such as jewelry, and there will be a treasure hunt, music, face painting and entertainment featuring magician

TRI-CITY SPOTLIGHT: Haircut for cash
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Alex Chen raised $11,000 for cancer research after shaving her head in front of friends and family on the weekend.
PoMo woman shaves head for cancer research money Port Moody resident Alex Chen may not be sporting the most fashionable haircut, but she was able to raise more than $11,000 for the B.C. Cancer Agency on the weekend. Chen lost her 30-year-old brother-in-law to lung cancer and is now supporting her mother as she undergoes treatment for acute myeloid leukemia. Scarlett Chen, her sister in law who lost her husband within months of his diagnosis in March, made the first cut. The B.C. Cancer Foundation is the bridge that connects philanthropic support and research breakthrough in cancer knowledge. As a fundraising partner of the B.C. Cancer Agency and the largest charitable funder of cancer research in the province, the organization enables donors to contribute to leading-edige research that has a direct impact
on improvements to cancer care for patients in the province.
PEARSON AWARD
One Coquitlam student is going global after being selected to attend the Lester B. Pearson United World College for the two-year pre-university program based in Victoria. Ariana Vaisey is the only B.C. student to attend the program that draws students from all over the world. Vaisey attended Gleneagle’s Talons program last year and was a member of the Student Leadership Council, among other things. School District 43 and local teachers will be celebrating World Teachers’ Day Oct. 5 with a barbecue outside the Coquitlam Teachers Association offices. CTA rep Chris King told the board of education Tuesday that this year’s theme for the international event is Teachers for
Gender Equality. Local students got a chance to attend summer camp this year thanks to contributions from the Tzu Chi program. On Tuesday, the international charitable organization contributed a cheque for $12,000 to the school district for the summer programs.

Are you new here? Welcome

A meet-andgreet event is being held Sept. 21 to encourage new residents to connect with Coquitlam city hall through recreation opportunities, feedback on planning initiatives, volunteering or by learning about city programs and services.
By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
They use to say you can’t fight city hall. Now city hall wants to do a better job of reaching out to residents, especially newcomers and recent immigrants to Canada. Next Wednesday, Sept. 21, the city of Coquitlam is hosting a Welcome to Coquitlam event, where people can learn about city services and ways to get involved. Community planning manager Bruce Irvine said he expects about 100 people to show up to the event where they will meet staff from different departments and listen to presentations. Members of the city’s multicultural advisory committee will be on had to help with translation as many of those attending are expected to speak languages other than English. Participants are expected to come from ESL classes or be referred by members of the multicultural advisory committee. Irvine said the Welcome to Coquitlam event is just one of several initiatives recommended by the committee to respond to the city’s changing demographic. Some 37 different languages are spoken in the city, he said. “ I t ’s t h e c i t y o f Coquitlam making extra efforts to make sure all the people are served,” Irvine said. Other things the city is doing to be more inclusive is being more culturally-sensitive in its hiring practices, making sure communication is in user-friendly English, hosting tours of city hall and training staff to be more culturally-aware. T h e We l c o m e t o C o q u i t l a m eve n t at city hall next week will take place from 2 to 7:30 p.m. City hall is located at 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam.

Coquitlam connection for an historic return Five Coquitlam residents travelled to B.C.’s Central Coast recently to witness a rare reburial of Aboriginal human remains that were excavated more than three decades ago. Retired Simon Fraser University archaeology professor Roy Carlson removed the remains in 1977 – with permission from the Heiltsuk First Nation – from Namu, a former trading post and B.C. Packers cannery site. Carlson and his wife, Maureen, along with SFU archaeology department chair Catherine D’Andrea were invited by the Heiltsuk people to participate in the reburial of the First Nation’s ancestors. Steve Ray, a former TriCity News photographer, and Dixon Tam, who also live in the Tri-City area and work for SFU, went to document the event. “I feel very privileged to participate in the return of the ancestors,” said Carlson. “This has been a marvellous experience … I simply felt everything had come full circle. We’ve had these burials for quite awhile – they’ve been thoroughly studied and now they can go back into the ground.” Heiltsuk chiefs and elders accompanied the ancestral remains from SFU Burnaby to Bella

Bella, where the community watched as the remains were blessed and then transferred to handmade cedar bentwood boxes. The next day, about 100 people took the 50-minute boat ride to Namu to witness the reburial. At the site, more than 30 bentwood boxes were lowered into a six-foot deep pit
lined with cedar planks. Down feathers from eagles were then spread around and into the pit before more cedar planks were nailed down to form a permanent cover. Analysing the ancestral remains may yield important information for the Heiltsuk, Carlson says. “[The Heiltsuk are]
very proud of the fact that the archaeology indicates their ancestors have been here for a very, very long period of time. Once the DNA analyses are complete, they will
show what other peoples in the world that they are related to,” he says. “Also, the isotopic analyses will show what resources were used in the past, and they should be
able to tell us how much salmon people were eating. And since there have been no treaties between the Heiltsuk and the Canadian government, all of this is evidence for their claims, which one day will be settled.” But for Heiltsuk First Nation chief Harvey Humchitt, treaties are not the most important matter at the moment. “A lot of times we talk about how archaeology will be answers to treaties, but when I look at our ancestors this is way beyond treaties,” says Humchitt, who wiped away a tear when the first shovel of dirt was thrown on the grave. “When you look at our ancestors 4,500 years ago, this was a different place. It felt good to repatriate them and return them to the place they were taken them.” Watching Heiltsuk First Nation members lower the remains of their ancestors into a grave made D’Andrea reflect about the value of archaeology. “I thought about how it is sometimes viewed as a hobby with very lim-

ited practical value or relevance to the modern world,” she says. “The scale of the effort put forth by Harvey and the Heiltsuk, both young and old, in making the bent-wood boxes and all the other preparations, reminded me that even our distant past can have a profound impact on our daily lives. “Although we may not think about it very often, our ancient history, as well as our recent past, greatly affects how we view ourselves, how we form our identities, and it can be a source of national pride. “A rch a e o l o g y c a n be especially important to First Nations and to other nations worldwide that have suffered through and survived the ravages of colonialism. Unfortunately archaeology was sometimes used to perpetuate injustices, but we can now turn it around now and use it to assist those who are attempting to rediscover their cultural identity and to understand and value their unique contributions to human history.”

An introduction to high school – then and now AS I SEE IT Andrew Holota
M
y daughter Anna started high school last week. That’s Grade 9 here in Abbotsford. When I was her age, high school began in Grade 8. And it was a different time of transition. Nowadays, there are introductory visits, information mail-outs, spirit events and orientation days featuring legions of “leadership” students ushering the newbies around, helping them find their lockers and classrooms and bathrooms, all the while extolling the wonderful virtues of their new home away from home for the next four years. The whole thing is run like a slick marketing campaign, designed to introduce the nervous new arrivals with the least amount of angst. Wow. Back in my day, there was nothing like that. You left Grade 7 with an empty, gnawing sensation in your stomach. This was it — the end of the familiar little school where you knew everyone and you could count the number of classrooms on one hand. In the fall, it would be the uncharted wilderness of a high school that sprawled over several acres and held the population of a small town. The introductory tour consisted of a bicycle drive-by during the summer. Yessir, there it was. Huge and imposing. Locked and solemn. You just knew grief lurked in those hallways, waiting to consume the newest young interlopers. While my daughter was extremely excited about her new school year, my anticipation for Grade 8 was along the lines of a visit to a dentist. A big, hairy one, wearing an eye patch and holding rusty pliers. And then it was Day 1... Standing out on the country road, waiting for the school bus. Not one recognizable face in all those seats. Followed by an unceremonious unload-
ing in the parking lot with hundreds of others. Thousands. Maybe tens of thousands. How could there be that many strangers in the entire province, let alone Abbotsford? The welcoming committee was a platoon of Grade 10s on the front steps. Smug, confident expressions, haughtily looking down at the little geek with the briefcase. Yeah, I admit it: I carried a briefcase. I think my mother thought it was the thing to do. I was an instant target for ridicule. “Watcha got in the briefcase, goof ? Your pyjamas?” Another kid might have ditched the thing the same day. For me, it became a symbol of resistance. I kept that leather case right through Grade 8. And some of my tormentors felt its wrath. Passing quickly in a crowded hall, held at a strategic elevation and angle, that briefcase could deliver a satisfying blow into the nether regions of the thugs. And then Ninja Nerd would melt away into the crowd... off on a frantic hunt for the physics lab. We didn’t have friendly, older student guides to help us negotiate the labyrinth of halls and breezeways and multiple levels of classrooms, and interrogation rooms, and torture chambers. Well, I never did personally see the latter but the Grade 10s insisted they existed in the basement. For the first week or two, it was navigation by panic, heightened by stubborn locker locks that would have confounded Houdini. Rotate the combination dial to the first number, reverse two turns, now to the next number — the bell has just rung! — don’t pass the last number, stand on one foot and do the hokey-pokey — you have two seconds until your next class — abandon the textbooks in the locker and just run and try to find the classroom now? Or just run home? It was tempting... I tell my daughter those were character-building days. Andrew Holota is the editor of The Abbotsford News, a Black Press sister paper of The Tri-City News.

BBB: Be wary with penny auctions Divorce e
Online ads, often designed to look like news reports, are cropping up on popular websites claiming that you can get great deals on iPads and other electronics with online penny auctions. The discounts offered on penny auction sites are tempting but in a recent press release, the Better Business Bureau warns bargain hunters that they should stop and do their research before making their first bid. “BBB has received hundreds of complaints from consumers about penny auctions so far this year and we’re encouraging online bargain hunters to do their research,” says Lynda Pasacreta, BBB president and CEO. “Unlike typical auctions, unsuccessfully bidding on an item through a penny auction will still cost you. BBB has heard from people who have lost hundreds of dollars bidding on items yet have nothing to show for it.” Most commonly with a penny auction, users must set
up an account and purchase bids with a credit or debit card; each individual bid may cost less than a dollar and are often sold in bundles of 100 or more. Every item has a countdown clock and as people bid, the cost of the item goes up incrementally and more time is added to the clock. Even if you don’t win the item, you still have to pay for the bids you placed which can add up over time. Since May, BBB has received more than 800 complaints against a company called BidRack, many from Canadians who have signed up for its services. Consumers have reported to BBB that when they sign up for the BidRack service, they are under the understanding that it is free but, upon registration, their credit card is then charged a fee, often around $99. The BBB strongly encourages you to read carefully the terms and conditions of any offer. Other complaints filed against penny auction web-
sites claim that some sites use phoney bidders and “bots” to drive up the prices on items. Customer support is also a major concern as many complainants explain they had a very difficult time receiving refunds or resolving other issues with the company. Before making your first bid on a penny auction: • Research the penny auction with BBB first. Not all penny auctions are created equal and BBB ratings on various sites range from A- to F. Always research the penny auction site with BBB at www. mbc.bbb.org before signing up. • Read the fine print carefully. Before providing any personal information or signing up for any “free” trial with a penny auction, read all of the fine print carefully on the website. Pay close attention to details on sign-up and annual fees, minimum bidding requirements, maximum prize amounts and how to get a refund. • Know what you’re buy-
ing. Before bidding on an item, research how much it costs elsewhere and keep track of how much you’re spending on bids overall to see if you really are getting a good deal. • Keep a close eye on your credit card statement. Many have complained to BBB about being unexpectedly charged just for signing up. Some complaints were also automatically charged for more bids when they ran out or for a yearly registration fee, not realizing this would be the case. • Complain to BBB if you believe you’ve been ripped off. If you feel you’ve been misled by a penny auction site, file a complaint with your BBB. BBB has assisted customers in resolving their issues, including getting refunds. If the business does not co-operate, your complaint will still go down on the company’s BBB Business Review and serve as a warning to others.

High-tech homes are not so unusual anymore
Demystifying the technology terms Life is full of technological innovation, and your new home is no exception. For homeowners who keep up with the latest trends, that technology on the list of features your new home developer provides will be easily understood. But what if those terms are unfamiliar to you? One such term that is often sprinkled among the features is “pre-wired” or “roughed-in.” According to Lee Rente of Encore Security and Automation, this refers to a home that has already had wires run throughout it prior to the drywall being installed. These wires can be used for anything that a homeowner could need, from television to security systems. “The wires are where they need to be should the owner decide to get that option,”
Rente says. “If it wasn’t pre-wired, it would be time-consuming and could be expensive to run the wires.” The type of wire most often used in homes is called cat5e, another term that appears often on features lists. “Cat5 is the Swiss Army knife of wire. If you don’t know what to run, cat5 will do it for you,” says Rente. This type of wire can run everything from speakers to Internet, as long as the proper adapters are in place. The final term is “central vacuum.” Rente says that this refers to a centrally located vacuum system that includes a series of pipes throughout the walls that allow you to plug in a vacuum hose anywhere in the house. “No more lugging a canister!” he says.
‘It’s so tranquil and wide open ... it’s just breathtaking’
Aragon going with the Flow at Port Royal by Kerry Vital
If you’re looking for a home with a view, Aragon’s Flow at Port Royal will be just the place for you. Situated directly on the river, homeowners will not only get a gorgeous view, but also great value for their money. “This is the best townhome you can possibly buy for the price,” says Aragon’s Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan. “There’s just no other product like it.” Built in Aragon’s Port Royal neighbourhood in Queensborough, Flow joins past projects Red Boat, Marmalade Sky and Regatta. This development, consisting of 30 homes ranging from 1,280 to 1,600 square feet, is located directly across from Port Royal Park and just steps away from a 1.7-kilometre riverfront walkway that encircles the property. Every home includes its own private roof deck, perfect for entertaining on the weekend or watching the sunset beside the fireplace, standard on every deck. “It is so tranquil and wide-open,” says Wan. “It’s just breathtaking.” Inside, the three-bedroom homes feature stunning gourmet kitchens, master suites on a separate floor from the other bedrooms, and an exposedbrick feature wall in most homes, which has become a trademark of Aragon. The open plan layout and top-ofthe-line GE Monogram appliances in the kitchen are just two of the things drawing people in to the display home. Hardwood flooring is included on the main level, while deep carpeting is standard on the bedroom levels. Never

I’d love to take you down there and show you the homes. I’ll have the keys waiting for you,” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan. again will your feet freeze as soon as they touch the floor in the morning! The kitchens are particularly impressive, and really give rise to the notion that the kitchen is the heart of the home. Each one features a builtin wall oven, and under-cabinet puck lighting that highlights the ceramic tile backsplash and double nosing granite or quartz countertops. One addition that is particularly beautiful are the built-in storage cabinets with glass inset doors and accent interior lighting. They are the farthest thing from utilitarian. The ensuite bathrooms are made for luxury. The separate shower stall includes a frameless glass door, mosaic tile flooring and a seating bench. The stone countertops are available in your choice of solid grey granite or light grey
and white travertine stone. “This is really a lifestyle product,” says Wan, adding “it’s an unbeatable lifestyle.” The exteriors are just as beautiful. Built with natural light in mind, Flow is built on a series of simple, elegant lines that showcase what Aragon calls a “modern work of art.” The entire Port Royal development is just minutes from Queensborough Landing, which includes Wal-Mart, several restaurants and other shops, and a range of services. Schools and recreation are also nearby. “I’d love to take you down there and show you the homes,” Wan says. “I’ll have the keys waiting for you.” Homes start at $475,900. For more information visit flowliving.ca or call 604-520-9890.

Sloppy foliage doesn’t have to be an issue IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter
E
ach spring, a great many gardeners are upset with withering daffodil and tulip leaves that looked unsightly for such a long period of time. What really worries me, however, are the numerous comments folks have made about not planting bulbs because of their sloppy foliage that can spoil the appearance of an otherwise neat and tidy garden. It would be a shame for any garden to lose these vibrant spring colours, simply because of a few leaves, when there are many ways to overcome the problem. The most obvious solution is to group bulb plantings in pockets where they can make their wonderful display and then die back without disrupting the entire garden. If you can camouflage them among other plants, so much the better. Secondly, by adding copious amounts of sand when you plant the bulbs, they will not only naturalize more easily but will also die back more quickly. The most creative and effective way to enhance a display of spring bulbs is to plant them in combination with shrubs. With a little imagination, you can come up with great combinations that give your garden a new look, conceal dying foliage and make certain locations work overtime to keep that colour coming.
Flowering shrubs are a natural for companion planting with bulbs. I’ve often mentioned the combination of miniature blue Iris reticulata with the ‘Buttercup’ winter hazel (Corylopsis pauciflora), but also try fragrant Daphne mezereum with the crocus ‘Remembrance’. The lavender tones work magic together. Winter heather is a natural for bulb combinations because it flowers from November until late April and then it flushes out with lots of new growth to screen bulb foliage. Try combining it with some miniature narcissus, like ‘Minnow’, ‘Hawera’ and ‘Jack Snipe’. Early blooming ‘Star Magnolias’ (Magnolia stellata) could be greatly enhanced with an underplanting of white narcissus like ‘Ice Follies’. When the leaves flush out on the magnolia, they would nicely conceal the narcissus leaves. Larger magnolias should not be left out either. ‘Saucer Magnolias’ (M. soulangiana), that often lose their big blossoms prematurely due to heavy spring winds or rains, would be greatly enhanced by an underplanting of beautiful salmon ‘Angelique’ tulips. Flowering quince looks spectacular in any spring garden, but a surrounding planting of early double tulips would be a real classy touch. Try ‘Peach Blossom’ around the whites and pinks and the yellow ‘Monte Carlo’ around the orange and scarlet varieties. White spiraeas offer all sorts of opportunities with red tulips. Spiraea thunbergii
would be a knockout with the early tulip, ‘Red Emperor’. The mid-season ‘Snow Mound’ (S. nipponica tosaensis) would look great with red ‘Darwin’ tulips and the late-flowering ‘Bridal Wreath’ spirea (S. arquta) would be nice combined with a red lily-flowering tulip. Spiraeas are great for covering up tulip foliage. Don’t forget about broad-leafed plants either. One of the most overlooked sun or shade loving plant is the ‘Oregon Grape’ (Mahonia aquifolium). Its yellow flowers and green holly-like foliage would combine beautifully with the soft yellow narcissus ‘Carlton’. Euonymus ‘Emerald n’ Gold’ and white/green ‘Gaiety’ provide a wonderful opportunity for tulip planting. Bright coloured early single or trumpet tulips could be underplanted for a delightful effect each spring. If the new growth was left untrimmed, it would cover dying tulip foliage and then
both could be pruned at once to save time. Longblooming, low-growing shrubs like potentillas and dwarf spiraeas offer tremendous potential for daffodil and tulip plantings. The red, white orange and pink blossoms that begin in late April can provide a neat contrast for late flowering varieties of bulbs or the green foliage can offer a backdrop, then cover for the flowers and leaves. Hostas and ferns also provide good foliage cover for daffodil and tulip leaves in areas with morning or dappled sunshine. Frankly, the potential for fabulous combinations is unlimited. This fall, please take a new look at the opportunities for using your tulip and narcissus bulbs to enhance your existing trees and shrubs. In doing so, you not only create a new dimension in colour schemes, you can also conceal the foliage that too often can spoil the fresh look of your spring gardens.

Express aim for more wins – and fans By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
C
oquitlam Express got the start they wanted last season, just not the finish. After jumping out to seven wins in their first 12 games, the Express slammed into an eight-game losing wall in November, racked up nine regular-season overtime losses and got crushed in four straight firstround playoff games by the Surrey Eagles. To top all, their final game drew only 563 fans to the smartly renovated Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex –– nowhere near the 1,000 minimum home attendance figure Express general manager Darcy Rota was counting on at the start of the team’s first season back in Coquitlam after having spent the previous five seasons in Burnaby. Certainly, this season will be different. It better be. Last season, the Express averaged 778 fans to rank 12th in that category among the 16 BCHL teams. On the plus side, their
home-game attendance was up a league-best 236 from the previous season, when they played in front of sparse crowds at Bill Copeland Arena. “That’s a good question,” Rota said, when asked about the many empty seats despite the shift back to Coquitlam, where the Express spent four seasons before skipping to Burnaby. “With the new [Poirier] rink and everything, we were hoping it would be better. We’ve been active [in the off-season] in the way of community events and such... people know we’re back now and here to stay.” A prolific product on the ice goes along way in selling tickets, Rota conceded. The Express finished seventh in the eight-team Coastal Conference last season with a 22-281-9 record, good for 54 points and just three more than the last-place Cowichan Valley Capitals. The 3.12 goals for per game they av-
eraged over the 60-game regular season campaign was second worst in the conference, and their 4.22 goals against mark was tied for most woeful with the Capitals. “Offensively, we have some new forwards we’ve brought in who look capable of putting up some pretty good numbers in this league,” Rota said. “Our goaltending looks solid, too, and the back end may take a little bit longer to develop but that’s usually the case. Overall, I think we’ll be better, for sure.” While the Express lost key point producers Destry Straight and Massimo Lamacchia, they hope returning forwards Alex Petan, Malcolm McKinney and Justin Georgeson will carry the scoring load. (On a side note, Petan and training camp hopeful Mitchell Fyffe scooted up the gruelling Grouse Grind in a team-best 32 minutes during an Express
team-bonding excursion over the Labour Day long weekend earlier this month.) Khaleed Devji, who appeared in 50 games in his rookie campaign last season, is back and is expected to garner most of the team’s netminding time ahead of fellow-incumbent Billy McGladrey. Also, ex-Salmon Arm Silverbacks defenceman Clinton Atkinson, who was acquired in the Brad Reid trade and is a 20-year-old with major-junior experience, is being looked upon to be an offensiveminded blueline leader. “Our ultimate goal is to win the Royal Bank Cup but we have to make the playoffs first,” said Express second-year head coach and director of hockey operations Jon Calvano. “Our goaltending is the same, and with a year experience, we expect Khaleed to be able to carry the load. We’ve improved our size, strength and aggressiveness on defence. Our overall skill level has improved, too.” ICING: The Express open the regular season next Friday versus the Penticton Vees at the Poirier facility, 7 p.m.

Coquitlam Metro-Ford Bayern
In their season opener, the Under 15 MSL Galaxy defeated Langley FC by a convincing 2-0 margin. The entire Galaxy team played extremely well, but newcomer HANNAH SOLKOWSKI deserves special mention for her brilliant performance. Hannah was a tower of strength throughout the match in her defensive role as she thwarted numerous Langley attacks with her indomitable play. For her magnificent performance this past weekend, Hannah has been chosen Coquitlam Metro-Ford Female Player of the Week.
Led by captain MICHAEL MOBILIO, the Under 16 MSL Bayern defeated the Abby Mariners by a narrow, but well-earned, 1-0 margin in the opening game of the 2011-12 season. Michael’s intelligent and determined performance in the middle of the park was an inspiration to his teammates and was the key to his team’s victory. For his excellent performance this past weekend, Michael has been selected as Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week!

Take steps to rid your yard of bear attractants but if a bear wanders into your yard don’t make it feel at home. Here are things you can do: • Keep pets and children indoors. • Yell or make noise with an air horn from a safe place inside your home. • Wait for the bear to leave • Once you are sure the bear has left, be sure to remove all potential attractants including ripe fruit, garbage, petfood and dirty barbecue grills. • Don’t get complacent, a return visit is likely if bear attractants aren’t removed. • Secure waste until between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on collection day.
See bearaware.bc.ca for more information on bear safety. To report a problem bear, call the Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-7277.
If a bear poses an immediate threat to people, call 9-1-1 In Coquitlam call 604-927-3554 for information about attractants and bears, in Port Moody call 604-469-4572 and in Port Coquitlam call 604-927-5446. .COM

Mashinchi da man
Coq. home to Midgets
UBC Thunderbirds men’s soccer midfielder Navid Mashinchi of Port Moody has been named the Canada West male athlete of the week. Mashinchi scored two goals and added two assists in a pair of UBC victories last weekend
Hockey’s Vancouver North East Chiefs are moving to Coquitlam this season. The B.C. Major Midget League team has called Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows home since the inception of the high-performance loop in 2004 but will be playing their home games this season at Planet Ice in Coquitlam. Chiefs head coach Doneau Menard said the move made sense given the team already practises in Coquitlam and the majority of the team’s players hail from the Tri-Cities. “As a coach, it’s easier to play in the same rink where we practice,” Menard said. He added the move is also convenient for the majority of players on the team. “For whatever reason, we’re not getting many kids from Maple Ridge,” Menard said. “We’ll see how it works but I think this will work out better for our team.” Last season, the team had only three players from Maple Ridge on its 20-player roster. Menard thanked the Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association for being accommodating with ice time, as said the move will free up more ice for local-area teams. The Chiefs finished sixth in the 11-team provincial league last season, ending up with a 16-17-7 regular-season record. The BCMML was established in 2004 to provide elite 15- to 17-year-olds an opportunity to play within their own age group at a high level and be developed for the next level of hockey. Teams in the league have an opportunity each year to compete for the national Midget championship. The North East Chiefs catchment area covers Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. For more information about the BCMML, visit www.bchockey.net/mml.
