The weekend of the 31st annual Terry Fox Runs kicked off on Friday in Vancouver with the unveiling of a memorial — consisting of four statues depicting Terry Fox’s running gait — outside BC Place Stadium. Above right, internationally known author and artist Douglas Coupland and Rolly Fox pose with one of the statues. The weekend got rocking in the Tri-Cities on Sunday, though, when four Terry Fox Runs were held in the area: Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and the Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam, where Rolly Fox (above left) ran with event organizer Dave Teixeira, Premier Christy Clark and super fundraiser Jim Terrion, a deaf man from Prince George who has walked across Canada to raise money and has collected hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Terry Fox Foundation over the years.

6th bear killed in PoCo City will expand enforcement to south side to keep hungry bears from being shot

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Social media played a big role in this year’s Terry Fox Runs, with organizers seeing higher participation and fundraising levels than last year’s 30th anniversary. Donna White, provincial director for the BC/Yukon Terry Fox Foundation, told The Tri-City Newss yesterday online and smartphone technology to allow direct donations proved to be a boon for the charity, which has raised more than $500 million for cancer research in the PoCo hero’s name over the last three decades. As well, on Sunday — the day 770 communities held Terry Fox Runs across Canada — the foundation’s Facebook page hit the 20,000 “friends” mark; since then, dozens of stories and photos from Run participants have been uploaded.

Port Coquitlam is cracking down on garbage-related infractions on the city’s south side after the sixth bear of the year was recently destroyed. For the first time, enforcement officers are handing out warnings and $150 fines to people living on PoCo’s south side who leave their garbage out as well as the north because of problems with bears eating garbage. “This is huge, we have to react very quickly to this,” said Dan Scoones, the city’s manager of bylaw services. While all of Port Coquitlam is expected to follow bear regulations, areas of particular concern are the Cedar Drive area on the north side and homes near Colony Farm and along the Coquitlam River, where bears have been knocking over garbage cans and getting into garages. Night patrols will be scouring Cedar Drive because people have been setting their garbage out early, Scoones said, and officers will be visiting homes on the south side if garbage

MORE INFO ON BEARS The next installment in our series on bears in the TriCities is set for the Sept. 28 edition of The Tri-City News and food scraps are being left outside. All wildlife attractants, including beverage containers and food scraps, must be stored indoors or kept in a cart locked up with a special Critterguard or other city-approved locking device. “We’re telling people everywhere across town it’s time to lock it up,” Scoones said. He said he was alerted to the seriousness of the situation about two weeks ago when a bear cub was treed in a neighbourhood near Westwood Street, south of Lincoln Avenue. Conservation officers informed him that bears were fanning out across the city and getting into garages. Five had been shot, up from the one the city recorded in mid-August, Scoones said, prompting the city to step up enforcement. see SOURCE CONTROL CONTROL,, page A7

Former CFLer busted during PoCo Fox Run By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A for mer Canadian Football League player is facing several weapons charges after an incident in Port Coquitlam Sunday morning that detoured one route of the Terry Fox Hometown Run. Adam Braidwood was arrested shortly after police were called out to a reported break and enter at a home near the intersection of Coast Meridian Road and Coquitlam Avenue at around 10:30 a.m. While Mounties were responding to the call, another officer who was directing traffic at the Terry Fox event in the same area, was confronted by an injured man holding a firearm. The 27-year-old Braidwood was arrested without incident and a firearm was seized. Police responding to the call at the nearby home found no evidence of a break and enter but discovered a number of gun shots had been fired in the residence. “The only injuries suffered as a result of the discharge of the firearm were suffered by Braidwood,” police said in a statement. “The circumstances surrounding the discharge of the firearm are under investigation.” Braidwood was taken to hospital

by ambulance and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday to face charges related to the possession and discharge of a firearm and breach of recognizance. The Coquitlam RCMP said the incident occurred just minutes before Terry Fox Run participants were expected to enter the area. A short detour was created and police said the safety of the runners, which included Premier Christy Clark, was not in jeopardy. Braidwood first ran into legal troubles last year when he was charged with assault, forcible confinement and uttering threats. The former Washington State product was drafted first overall in the 2006 CFL Canadian draft but was released by the Eskimos in April because of his legal issues. He was Edmonton’s nominee for the Outstanding Rookie award in 2006 but a knee injury forced him to sit out the 2008 and 2009 season. Dave Jamieson, vice-president of communications with the Edmonton Eskimos, said the team would not comment on the former player’s legal troubles. “We have not been made aware that there is anything involving Adam,” he said. “The club has no comment on Adam in this incident or any other.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Fox memorial unveiled A new memorial to honour Port Coquitlam hometown hero Terry Fox opened last week at BC Place Stadium. The unveiling of Vancouver author and artist Douglas Coupland’s statues last Friday at the newly refurbished Terry Fox Plaza came two days before the 31st annual Terry Fox Runs were held across Canada. Fox’s father, Rolly, was joined by his children, Fred, Darrell and Judith, as well as Fox’s friend, Doug Alward, Premier Christy Clark and students from PoCo’s Terry Fox secondary for the event; the students — along with kids from Renfrew, St. John’s and Elsie Roy elementary schools in Vancouver — started the ceremony with a mini

Terry Fox Run to the plaza. Coupland, who was commissioned last year to create the memorial, has created four statues that appear to grow larger as Terry Fox approaches, replicating his familiar running gait during the historic cross-Canada Marathon of Hope in 1980. “With the four running representations, Doug has captured the effort, determination and discomfort that was prevalent in every step Terry took,” Rolly Fox said in a news release. “Future generations will be better able to understand and appreciate the extent to which Terry was prepared to go to help those diagnosed with cancer.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

“It’s nice to see that Terry’s legacy lives on strongly,” White said. In the Tri-Cities, the numbers were up for the Hometown Run in PoCo, where about 3,500 people on foot, bike and inline skates braved early showers to hear Fox’s dad, Rolly, talk about his late wife, Betty, who died in June, and to honour Terry Fox’s efforts. PoCo Run organizer and social media guru Dave Teixeira, who encouraged the crowd to share their Twitter comments using the hashtag #tfrunpoco, said while he was pleased with the turnout, the cold, wet weather deterred many people from leaving their homes. “It’s our biggest challenge,” he said. “People open their door at 7:30 a.m., see the rain and say, ‘Next year.’” Emceed by cancer survivor and Terry Fox’s soccer coach Bruce Moore, the PoCo Run also drew Premier Christy Clark, BC NDP leader Adrian Dix, Mayor Greg Moore and Jim Terrion, a Prince George resident who is deaf and is now more than halfway to his

PoCo Mayor Greg Moore (left) with Rolly Fox at the Hometown Run. $1 million fundraising goal for the foundation. As of press time yesterday, the final dollar figure had not been revealed for the Hometown Run, though last year’s event brought in $44,000 from the 620 participants. Meanwhile, for the second annual Terry Fox Run in Coquitlam, which was organized by Marta Jackson, about 240 people took part, down significantly from the 600 attendees for the first Run. Coquitlam Coun. Selina Robinson, the event emcee, said nearly $15,000 was collected, two-thirds from students at Dr. Charles Best secondary. In Port Moody, Run organizer Coun. Mike Clay said he counted

about 200 runners, walkers and cyclists who contributed $5,500 to the cause, about the same as last year, when a downpour also kept people away. And in Anmore, Coun. Kerri Palmer Isaak, the Run organizer, reported about 100 participants and more than $1,000 collected. Before the event, Palmer Isaak had worried about the weather but the sky cleared in time for the Run, which started two hours later than the other three Tri-City Runs and was tied to the Ma Murray Days celebrations at Spirit Park. Tere z Payette of Astoria Retirement Living also told The Tri-City Newss her PoCo seniors’ group reaped $1,700 for the foundation from its Silver Fox Walk and Roll on Sunday. Worldwide, the Terry Fox Run is the largest single-day fundraiser for cancer research. To donate online, visit, terryfox.org. • The Terry Fox Foundation is now gearing up for the annual National Terry Fox School Run, which takes place Sept. 28 at 8,500 schools across the country. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Watermain Flushing Public notice for residents of Glenayre

The City of Port Moody is performing uni-directional watermain cleaning in the areas shown on the map starting September 26, 2011.

Glenayre Dr

Port Moody city hall means it when it says when it wants residents’ input on how to make city operations sustainable. Problem is, folks aren’t very enthusiastic about weighing in on the topic, according to a recent survey. Only 123 people started a recent survey on the city’s sustainability plan and only 69 finished. Many who quit part-way through stopped at the question that asked about residency, according to the city. Still, PoMo is determined to press ahead with its plan, which will be updated regularly and will find ways to encourage people to be more sustainable in their actions. Last Tuesday, council asked staff to explore incentives and subsidies to encourage people to take action on energy reduction and other green or health-related activities and will share residents’ success stories. Handing out prizes might be one idea but acting city manager Colleen Rhode said council is looking at bigger plans, similar to those incentives used to promote heritage conservation. According to the survey, 48% of residents believe financial incentives or subsidies are necessary to encourage people to be more sustainable (for example, walk or cycle more, compost, reduce plastic bag use, buy energy efficient appliances, conduct a house energy audit). As well, half said they wanted to

see more success stories of other residents while 46% recommended using regulation to make sure sustainable practices are adopted by all; as well, 43.3% would like the city to share information on sustainability workshops, 40% want to see success stories of other businesses and 35% want more information and links to resources. Rohde said the sustainability plan has been in the works for three years and residents have had other opportunities to comment on the plan, which would guide city operations and make sure decisions are made to ensure environmental, economic, social and cultural sustainability. “It’s really an ongoing process, it’s like a living document,” Rohde said, noting that it will be updated regularly. In fact, staff members and the public will be encouraged to forward their sustainability recommendations via online forms or forms available a city hall in the future. Those ideas will be reviewed by staff on a quarterly basis for possible inclusion in regular plan updates. In addition, all budget items, reports to council, projects and policies will have a section on sustainability. The city is using former World Health Organization director general Gro Harlem Bruntland’s 1987 definition of sustainability: “Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

This procedure will cause pressure ﬂuctuations, some discolouration and sediment in the water reaching your home or business. These conditions should be of short duration and will not pose a health hazard. If your water appears discoloured run a cold water tap, preferably your bathtub faucet, until the water clears. City staff will try to minimize any inconvenience. Port Moody Secondary

Injured cyclist wants to thank Good Samaritan By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Mike Victory wants to thank the man who called 911 and consoled his son after the Maple Ridge father took an ugly fall in Port Coquitlam a couple of weeks ago. There is just one problem: Victory didn’t get the man’s name and, thanks to the severe concussion he suffered, would not recognize the Good Samaritan if he saw him. Here’s what happened: While riding Aug. 27 with his son at the bike skills park off Shaughnessy Street, north of Prairie Avenue, Victory took a small jump but went over the handle bars and landed face first in the rocks. “I blacked out completely,” he said. “I laid there, had a seizure. “My son, who is just about five, was with me but there was nobody else around at the park.”

Missing patient Coquitlam RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance in locating a 4 9 - ye a rold man w h o walked a w a y from an i n d e pendent b o a r d - CAO PHAN ing house located at Riverview Hospital. For the second time this year, Cao Phan has left the facility and is currently unlawfully at large from his court-ordered residence. Phan, who is described as a Vietnamese male, fivefoot-one, weighing 141 pounds, walks with a limp and is missing his index and middle finger on his right hand. He has brown eyes, dimpled skin and black hair. Phan suffers from a mental illness for which he is required to take medication and he is known to frequent areas in Burnaby and Vancouver. He was last seen Sept. 19. This is not the first time Phan has left the facility without permission. In March, he walked away from the Riverview g rounds, where officials said he has lived for a number of years. Anyone with any information about Phan’s whereabouts are asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 or their local police department. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Mike Victory after his cycling accident (left) and after his facial injuries healed. A stranger helped him and his son. All he knows of the story after that is what he was able to piece together from his son. Apparently, after the seizure, he got up and sat on the jump for a few minutes. He then went over to his vehicle, got in, and started fiddling with a key fob. A short time later, another cyclist came into the park and, noticing Victory’s bruised and bloodied face, immediately called 911.

“I don’t remember any of it,” Victory said. “Apparently he was there but I don’t remember talking to him.” The stranger put Victory’s and his son’s bikes in the back of the car and waited with the young boy while paramedics worked on his dad. Victory suffered a level three concussion and fractured his T6 thoracic vertebrae but said he is recovering well. He

recently started driving again and has been back at work for a few days. His face, which took the brunt of the fall, has also healed up nicely and the stitches in his lip have dissolved. While he was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, he said he would likely be staying away from the skills park until he gets some more protective equipment — and maybe some lessons. He would also like the chance to meet the man who helped him and his son during what was a frightening experience for both. “I would really like to get in touch with him and thank him,” he said. “He waited with my car when my sister came down and she thanked him but, unfortunately, she didn’t get his name.” • The person who helped Victory or anyone with information identifying the Good Samaritan is asked to email opcomm@hotmail.com. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

‘Source control is only proven strategy for keeping bears out’ continued from front page

Now, a city wide alert is being put out so the problem doesn’t spread further. “We live in bear country. Source control is the only proven strategy for keeping bears out.

human garbage. So far 13 bears have had to be destroyed in the Tri-Cities, up from 11 last year. In its press release, the city noted bears that become used to eating garbage can become aggressive but relocating isn’t the answer because half of relocated bears return to their old feeding grounds. Numbers of bear sightings are expected to grow in the next few weeks as bears look for food to fatten up before hibernation in November and December. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Dominion plans to hearing By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A 6 4 8 - u n i t t ow n house and apartment development in the northeast corner of the Dominion Triangle will go before a public hearing next month in Port Coquitlam. PoCo residents will get their chance to comment on the project, known as the Dominion River Front Neighbourhood, which includes 250 apar tments in four buildings and 298 townhouses on six parcels. A large amenity building and an active park will also be included on the 25-acre site. The residential por-

tion is the second half of a two-part development application for a 42-acre property that was originally zoned entirely industrial. Con-West, which is developing the property, worked out a deal with the city that would guarantee industrial development in the area providing the company could move forward with a residential project on half of the land. Now that the industrial development is underway on the 17acre southern portion, the company can move forward with its residential project. Those who wish to comment on the proposal can attend Port

Coquitlam’s council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 11 at city hall. For more information go to www.portcoquitlam.ca. Other PoCo news:

DRIVE-THROUGH Fremont Village developer Onni Group is asking the city of Port Coquitlam to amend its zoning bylaw to allow drive-through restaurants on its Dominion Triangle site. The changes would mean that at least two fast food outlets could operate in the area on the western part of the property, located at 810 Sherling Ave. Laura Lee Richard, the city’s

director of development services, said the extra vehicle traffic would not negatively affect the pedestrian promenade planned for the shopping area on the eastern half of the property. The Fremont Village area is a portion of the Dominion Triangle that includes the Walmart and future Canadian Tire development, along with two residential towers. The zoning amendment bylaw, which was discussed at the city’s smart growth committee meeting, still requires the approval of the full council before Onni can move forward with its restaurant plans.

A downed power line pole blocked the tracks at the Port C o q u i t l a m We s t Coast Express station Tuesday morning, resulting in the station being closed and several of the commuter trains bypassing the station. Re por ts of the track blockage were received at 6:20 a.m., said Ken Hardy of Translink. PoCo passengers were bused to the Coquitlam station, and the second and third trains of the morning ran late. The pole was removed in time for the final trains to resume their regular schedule.

Sowing seeds

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

eeds sown on stony ground rarely flourish. That agricultural bromide fits perfectly the situation with Colony Farm. While on the surface, restoring Colony Farm to its former status as a productive farm seems like a good idea, many questions remain regarding scope, financing and environmental impacts. What’s more, many of the individuals and groups that fought to keep the property as public park instead of a golf course or PNE site — as was once contemplated — are against the project. These groups want more public consultation and more discussion about the project, which would require a $5-million capital investment. The concern is that the farm has been “let go” over the years, with limited public investment, and only now, with an academy possibly involving private enterprise is Metro Vancouver considering pumping money into the park. Environmentalists want to know more about who would be involved in this project, how wildlife will be protected and whether public access will be restricted. They also want a say in how this plan is shaped. Why shouldn’t they have a say? Working with park users and groups might take more time but gaining their support and acceptance would give the academy legitimacy it doesn’t currently have. What’s more, these groups could help with fundraising in the future and possibly be part of the group overseeing the farm initiatives. There are many positives to this project that shouldn’t be discarded with a poorly thought-out campaign. Not only would the heritage farm buildings be restored but some of the required $5 million would go to drainage, improving parks and trails and developing an education centre and bird banding laboratory. Colony Farm is a rare bird itself. Located in the heart of Metro Vancouver, it is ideally suited to showcase local agriculture and educate the public about the value of supporting agriculture in B.C. But how big the farms should be and who should be allowed to use the land are all questions that need to be answered. The end result, if done right, could be a flowering of sustainable agriculture in the Lower Mainland.

B.C. imports American-style political attacks BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he Americanization of Canadian and B.C. politics is gathering speed now that legislated four-year terms are finally settling in at the federal and provincial levels. Scheduled elections are an important reform but the downside is that they seem to lead inexorably to constant campaigning. The latest example is the BC Liberal Party’s website and radio campaign directed at upstart BC Conservative leader John Cummins. “Strange days indeed,” NDP leader Adrian Dix mused on his Facebook page. “The Liberals, after a week of nasty attacks on the NDP, launched an anti-John Cummins website. Absent a policy agenda, the Liberals seem to want to blame others for their problems. This too will backfire as Ms. Clark is

again misreading the public mood. People are demanding substance in politics these days, not photo ops and negative attacks.” I see nothing strange in Dix rushing to the defence of Cummins, who represents the NDP’s best hope for a move into the legislature’s west wing. It is a bit odd, however, for Dix to accuse others of lacking policy as he leads a party that has been distinguished by little other than negative political tactics since its neardeath experience in 2001. This is almost as strange as the BC Liberals damning Cummins as a politician who “says one thing and does another.” Yeah, that can really come back to bite you. There hasn’t been much of an anti-Dix effort yet but you can be sure there is one sitting on the shelf, prepared for Clark’s recently abandoned fall election plan. The “nasty attacks” Dix complained about were focused on his federal party’s sudden preference for Quebec seats in the House of Commons, and sniping about which Premier Clark hired more political

staff — Christy or Glen? And it was the NDP that started the negative cycle with its own TV ad featuring “Campbell Crunch” and “Christy Crunch” cereals, both “loaded with HST.” (But I can put to rest the ghastly rumour that the BC Liberal war room will soon unleash a gang of angry, unemployed HST stick-men.) The U.S. tactic of going negative early — to define your rivals before they can define themselves — has worked spectacularly for Stephen Harper’s Conservatives. They scorched federal Liberal leaders Stéphane Dion and Michael Ignatieff, and public distaste for these methods does not seem to have hurt them. The anti-Cummins campaign has a similar style, and there are indications that it may have been produced in Toronto. The website, canttrustcummins.ca, uses a bug-eyed photo of the former fisherman-MP that makes him look like a ray gun-wielding alien from the movie Mars Attacks. In fact, our whole political scene is starting to look like a rerun of a bad 1990s movie.

It was Reform BC that rose from the ashes of Social Credit and inspired a desperate Gordon Campbell to sing country music and take a hard line on aboriginal relations to stitch the ruptured right back together. Cummins defined himself as a ReformAlliance-Conservative MP by railing against treaties, and that continues to be the core of his thin policy book. His other two main ideas are also pure rural populism. He vows to scrap the carbon tax and suggests municipalities should cut their costs to fund transit. Voters will have a better idea by the end of this week if Clark’s plan for “defending and creating jobs” is really new policy, or merely more photo ops. B.C. has had its first taste of Californiastyle tax revolt. Now we have two years ahead that will be dominated by relentlessly negative and continuous campaigning.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Help the homeless The Editor, Riverview Hospital should be kept for the pur pose it was built many years ago: the sick and needy. However, in this day and age, the buildings could be better used for the homeless as well. The facilities are there (though aged) but the people who need the facilities, especially during the winter months, could help cook and clean for their room and board. Volunteers and food banks would be invaluable in this situation and it would be hoped that the government would step in too. After all, charity starts at home. S. Beattie, Port Coquitlam

Trash talk The Editor, Re.“Pick up trash every week” (Letters, The TriCity News, Sept. 14). If the letter writer was putting food waste in green cans and/or composts in an effort to help environmental causes, the garbage would not smell, plain and simple. A. Van, Coquitlam

Attack on mayor ‘surprised’ reader The Editor, Re. “Gloves off early in Coquitlam mayoral race” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 9). I am surprised at Coquitlam Coun. Barrie Lynch’s comment that Mayor Richard Stewart attends too many events in our community. Isn’t it part of the mayor’s job — councillors too, for that matter — to show support for community events? Since Mr. Stewart has been mayor, I’ve seen him at countless community and charitable events, and his enthusiastic promoting of those has benefited both me and my family directly. He posts about what’s happening in the community on Twitter and Facebook, along with photos of the various goings-on. Quite often, it is through his sharing of this information that my family has become aware of something happening, put on our shoes and headed out the door. Not only is it great to hear about happenings in and around the city, it is always a pleasure to speak with Mayor Stewart himself in the community. He is approachable, enthusiastic, easy to talk to and has an obvious passion for Coquitlam and its residents — of all ages. The city hosts several festivals and I always see Mayor Stewart at them, though I don’t usually see Coun. Lynch. I also follow city council quite

closely and watch t h e l ive o n l i n e streaming of council meetings. I cannot recall a meeting where Mayor Stewart was absent. From my point of view, as well as many others that I have spoken to LYNCH this weekend, he is doing a fabulous job “doing city business” and promoting and supporting our city’s events, residents and businesses. I probably don’t agree with everything this council has done but to STEWART suggest that Mayor Stewart doesn’t work his butt off for this city is ridiculous, from where I sit. Not sure why The Tri-City Newss should even publish those comments. It doesn’t matter how many votes you received three years ago to get your seat, Coun. Lynch — it will come down to how many people now respect you once reading your preposterous comments. See you at the polls, sir. I’ll be leaving your box empty. K. Marrington, Coquitlam

They’re happy, just don’t hike their taxes Coquitlam residents are fairly happy with their city but more are willing to see civic services cut than have their property taxes go up again, according to an annual Ipsos Reid study released this week. The 2011 Citizen Survey document, unveiled two months before the municipal election, shows there’s less of an appetite from residents since the 2008 global recession to see their tax bills rise. In 2003, when Ipsos Reid first tracked residents’ responses, 58% could stomach bigger tax levies versus 45% today. That trend is typical across Metro Vancouver, Jennifer Renny, a senior research manager with the company, told city council on Monday. The poll, which was conducted between May 16 and 20 with 400 Coquitlam residents over the phone, also offered the following nuggets: • 99% of respondents rated the quality of life in Coquitlam positively, three points higher than last year, with 47% saying “very good” and 52% saying “good.” The “very good” percentage for Coquitlam now exceeds the regional norm, Renny said. • 31% of respondents said the quality of life has improved over the past five years while 52% say it’s the same and 13% say it has worsened. • Asked why the quality of life has improved, 20% of respondents cited better or renovated recreation facilities. • Of the 57 residents who said the quality of life has dropped, 19% noted high population densities followed by the crime rate, traffic, poor leadership at the city level, municipal taxes and increased costs; • And the top-of-mind issues facing Coquitlam, according to survey respondents, are transportation, taxation levels, crime, education and civic government services. In addition, the survey found that most people glean their civic information from the newspaper. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Coq. wants a GOT A PRE-2007 SUZUKI? say on farm NEED A SERVICE? Stories by Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam city council will lobby Metro Vancouver to ensure city residents — as well those in Port Coquitlam — are consulted about a controversial farming academy proposed for Colony Farm Regional Park. In a unanimous vote Monday, city council voted to send a message to Metro to have input from the two cities — at meetings held in the local community rather than at Metro’s offices in Burnaby — prior to any action being taken. Coun. Selina Robinson said Metro tends “not to do as robust consultation” as it should on its plans. And “if it’s going to be a pilot project they better get it right,” she said. Coun. Barrie Lynch said at last week’s land use committee meeting, when the topic was raised, Metro Vancouver chief administrator Johnny Carline vowed to include Coquitlam in the consultation exercise and “I think we need to hold his feet to the fire on this,” he said. Coun. Neal Nicholson also urged Coquitlam’s two Metro directors — Mayor Richard Stewart and Coun. Lou Sekora — to speak up at the board to press for local input

on the plan, which was designed two years ago, prior to when Stewart was appointed to the regional parks committee. Phase 1 of the draft Colony Far m plan — which carries a price tag of $5 million — calls for up to 91 acres to be transformed into a starter academy for sustainable food production. Colony Farm has some of the richest agricultural soils in B.C. and was once the site of a prize-winning dairy farm and livestock operation. The proposal has been met with criticism, including from Elaine Golds of the Burke Mountain Naturalists, who told council on Monday a commercial operation isn’t appropriate in a park setting. A call to Carline was not immediately returned yesterday. jwarren@tricitynews.com

2 more declare intentions to run for city councils COQUITLAM COUNCIL

PORT MOODY COUNCIL

A young candidate who ran in the 2008 civic race in Coquitlam is trying for a council spot again. Andy Shen, a graduate of Archbishop Carney regional high school in Port Coquitlam, announced yesterday he plans to bring a “fresh perspective” if elected as councillor. Shen is serving his second term on the city’s multiculturalism advisory committee and has served on SFU’s Student Society Advocacy Committee, advocating for reasonable tuition rates and more accessible transportation. He has lived in Coquitlam for more than 15 years and speaks English, French and Mandarin.

A Port Moody resident who ran for mayor in his city in 2008 has announced he will seek a seat on council in November’s municipal election. Shane Kennedy said he believes the city should do more to encourage businesses to move into the area in order to broaden the tax base and take pressure off of homeowners. He said he would like to see the city develop comprehensive neighbourhood plans for the former Barnet landfill, Murray Street and the Inlet Park area to achieve this objective. Kennedy ran for mayor in the 2008 race garnering 1,354 votes but lost to incumbent Joe Trasolini, who had 2,780.

During recent fashion shows, several designers appear to have been following a similar guiding principal: modernize women’s style with a futuristic look. We saw lots of couture with clean cut lines that conferred a sleek and original look to the women wearing them. With the unveiling of the winter collections, it was impossible not to think of the cheeky Twiggy-era energy that typiÀed the 1960s, when some of the shorter dress lengths evoked the tunic. Also noticeable were the aesthetic inÁuences of Courrèges, who introduced geometric forms to the world of fashion. The fall-winter collection from Bodybag by Jude offers several superb short dresses. Sometimes very simple, their effect is always stunning. These outÀts combine the feminine with the enigmatic in superlative fashion. The fashionable palette this year emphasizes dark tones and monochrome ensembles. Some fashionistas love these tones, while others consider the look difÀcult to wear without more vibrant colours. For them, there are striking fall accents, such as oranges, rusts, and mustards to illuminate the darker tones of brown, charcoal grey, and jet black. This modern style is topped by simple hair arrangements, including 1960s-inspired hairstyles, à la Brigitte Bardot. Alternatively, we will be seeing short hairstyles with clean-cut lines.

The late Betty Fox and the Man in Motion, Rick Hansen, may have been absent from the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam for the first time in years but there were big names aplenty joining the thousands of walkers, runners, cyclists and inline skaters on the 3.5 km, 6 km and 10 km routes through PoCo’s north side. Below right, Rolly Fox waves to Run participants, with MC Bruce Moore in the background. Below left, top, Rolly Fox — running with Premier Christy Clark, Hometown Run organizer Dave Teixeira and super fundraiser Jim Terrion of Prince George — exchanges a few words and smiles with PoCo MLA Mike Farnworth, running with BC NDP leader Adrian Dix.

Hooray for Bollywood in books, music & more A GOOD READ Teresa Rehman

he idea for this article came to me when I saw four brand new Bollywood biographies on our new books shelf: • Bonding, A Memoirr by Vyjayantimala Bali, traces the life of this beautiful and brilliant Bharat Natyam dancer, actress, physician’s wife and current politician. • Ten Years with Guru Dutt, Abrar Alvi’s Journey by Sathya Saran follows the legendary director and actor through the eyes of his close friend Alvi. • Begum Akhtar: Love’s Own Voice by S. Kalidas documents her troubled and tempestuous life through the narratives of some of her closest friends and associates. Akhtar — witty, vibrant and engaging with the world at various levels, was a much-loved classical diva of 20th century India, with nearly 400 songs to her credit. The last of the great female singers from the courtesan community, Akhtar effortlessly transcended that label to marry a barrister. A bonus with this gem of a publication is a beautiful CD of 13 gazals, thumris and dadras (semi-classical songs of unrequited love). I was fortunate to be introduced to Akhtar by my Urdu professor at UBC in the mid-1980s. • The Act of Life: Amrish Puri, An Autobiography with Jyoti Sabharwal, follows the life of this Bollywood villain, cold-blooded don, ruthless politician, lecherous viper, who even won accolades from Steven Spielberg. The 400 pages of this book keep this immortal villain alive in our hearts and proves to be a memorable trip down Bollywood memory lane. Bollywood movies are glorious, colourful spectacles of romance, action, drama, song and dance. India has the world’s biggest film industry, which produces some 900 moves a year, watched by passionate fans around the globe. Fantasies of a Bollywood Love Thief: Inside the World of India Moviemaking by Stephen Alter provides a firsthand look into the world of Bombay (Mumbai) films. Alter, a writer who grew up in India and has inside access to Bollywood, acts as translator and tour guide in this book. Although I have watched only a handful of Bollywood movies, these books bring back many memories of my years as a teenager growing up in Fiji. Many Sundays, I would iron sarees for my mom and aunt, help them get dressed in all their finery and see them off when the taxi arrived to take them to the most current Bollywood blockbuster. Throughout the week, they would share the story of the movie with us, so it was not necessary for me to see the Hindi movies (besides, I preferred

TRI-CITY PLACES OF WORSHIP

to go to the English ones with my friends). In Coquitlam Public Library’s collection, we also have two biographies of Madhubala: Her Life, Her Films by Khatija Albar and Madhubala: Masti and Magic by Alpana Chowdhury. Both look at the tragic, short life of the most beautiful Hindi film heroine ever. Life and Films of Dilip Kumar by Urmila Lanba provides insight into the life of the Tragedy King — actor, director, producer and retired member of parliament. This article would be incomplete if I neglected to mention our collection of biographies of Indian singers and musicians as all Hindi movies are musicals. In Search of Lata Mangeshkar by Harish Bhimani is a fascinating account of the best-known and most respected playback singer in India. Journey with a Hundred Strings: My Life in Music is an autobiography by (Pandit) Shiv Kumar Sharma, master santoor player who was credited for revolutionizing the use of this musical instrument from its historical use as an accompaniment with other instruments to its current use as a solo instrument. In our collection, we also have two fantastic music CDs performed on santoor by Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma: A Sublime Trance with Shafaat Ahmed Khan on tabla and Rageshri (my all-time favourite CD) with Ustad Zakir Hussain on tabla. Finally, Bapi — The Love of my Life is an intimate story of Shankar’s musical legacy by daughter and sitar player Anoushka Shankar. We also have Ravi Shankar: In Portrait, a two-DVD set with a booklet that follows two years of the musician’s life in India and America against the backdrop of seven decades of innovative collaboration with western musicians including George Harrison, John Coltrane and Yehudi Menuhim. Archival footage shows key performances filmed from the 1930s to the present day. Two CDs, entitled Ragas and Talas and Sound of the Sitar, featuring the legendary tabla maestro Ustad Alla Rakha on both, completes our collection of the works of this great musician. Check your local library for these and other Bollywood books, movies and DVDs, and Indian music CDs of various genres. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Teresa Rehman is the community services librarian at Coquitlam Public Library.

Want to wheel with Rick through the Tri-Cities? By Gary McKenna

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

Rick Hansen (shown with Rolly and the late Betty Fox at the 2009 Terry Fox Hometown Run) is on the 30th anniversary edition of his Man in Motion tour. 25th anniversary of his global tour. He will be in Port Moody the next day before moving on to Vancouver to complete his 273-day, cross-Canada journey. Coquitlam is also expected to be one of 165

wheelchair accessibility. During his journey across Canada in 1986, Hansen, a Richmond resident, took on one of his toughest climbs — Coquitlam’s Thermal Drive — before finishing the tour on May 22, 1987; for the 10th and 20th anniversaries in 1997 and 2007, he tackled the steep hill again. But relay spokesperson John Gibson told The Tri-City News there are no plans for Hansen to challenge Thermal a third time. Hansen’s commemorative relay will be held over nine months and will include 600 municipalities, starting Aug. 24, 2011 at Newfoundland’s Cape Spear and ending on May 22, 2012 in Vancouver. It will involve 7,000 participants chosen in a national contest and will finish each day with a community celebration, much like the Olympic torch relay. • To be part of the relay, visit rickhansenrelay.com to apply. Entrants must be 13 or older and must demonstrate how they are improving the lives of other Canadians.

Vo l u n t e e r s a r e needed to carry the Rick Hansen medal through the Tri-Cities when the Man in Motion wheels through the region next spring as part of his 25th anniversary relay. Each participant will complete a 250metre segment of the Coquitlam portion of the route, meaning there are still spaces available ahead of the Dec. 28 entry deadline. “Those that have the honour of carrying the Rick Hansen medal will have demonstrated Rick’s values of courage, determination and teamwork, and have made a difference in our community,” said a Coquitlam city staff report. “Medal bearers will receive a commemorative Rick Hansen medal produced by the Royal Canadian Mint along with a uniform.” Hansen, who is a fundraiser and advocate for spinal cord injury research, is expected to be a part of the group that rolls through Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam on May 17 to mark the

Share is sharing info on substance abuse

Share Family and Community Services’ alcohol and drug program is hosting a drop-in education series that has already begun. The program is open to everyone and offers important information for those who have an alcohol or drug problem, or for those concerned about their use. It will help those people affected by others’ substance use to understand addicts and addictive behaviour. There is no cost for this group, whose format consists of a video, a brief presentation and open discussion. Topics vary from week to week and the remaining sessions are outlined below: • Sept. 21: Alcohol — how dependence develops; controlled using; effects on pregnant women. • Sept. 28: Cocaine and crystal meth — the struggle to recover, and what long-term recovery looks like. • Oct. 5: Relapse prevention — discussion on the psychological, emotional and physical aspects of relapsing and what can be done. • Oct. 12: Stress — learning how to cope with little and big problems without using.

• Oct. 19: Anger — understanding your anger and learning how to manage it more effectively. • Oct. 26: Trauma — how substance misuse often occurs with people who have experienced childhood abuse. How these experiences may cause relapses or continued misuse. • Nov. 2: Drinking, drugs and driving — how the new laws will affect you. You will learn about blood alcohol levels, the .05 determining impaired drivers, and how drugs impair judgement. • Nov. 16: Mental Illness, depression and addiction — many people have a substance problem and are coping with mental issues. Understanding the links between the two issues will be the session’s goal. • Nov. 23: Substance affected — how others’ misuse or abuse of alcohol and drugs affects us and how to help others. • Nov. 30: Stage ll Recovery — life in the future. A l l s e s s i o n s t a ke p l a c e o n Wednesdays, 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Share, second floor, 2615 Clarke St., Port Moody. For info, phone 604-936-3900.

atthew Barber has been stripped down as of late. This summer, the Torontobased folk/rock singer and songwriter released his sixth album, a self-titled work that he composed, played all the instruments and engineered himself in his basement studio. His most recent music videos, too, have a homemade charm, some of them projects conceived and filmed by his girlfriend. And then there are his shows: for his concert in Port Moody this Saturday, Barber plans to keep it simple with an acoustic performance and his sister, Jill, at his side. Barber prefers the uncomplicated. Of his self-produced album that was released in June, the 34-year-old musician said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to be in control of thing. I recognize thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always the best way to go and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value in having other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objective input... but I like the big picture in making a record. I thought it would be fun to try it out myself.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the first time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone at it alone. W h i l e s t u dy i n g a t Q u e e nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University, he released in 1999 his debut album, A Thousand Smiles An Hour, independently. Same thing for his breakthrough album, Means and Ends, three years later. And, in 2008, Barber self-produced Ghost Notes, his fourth album, which was nominated in 2009 for a Juno award (the 10-track CD included duets with his sister and Sarah Harmer). Barber admits the bare essentials are more common for him now. He has tuned many things out and become a self-described â&#x20AC;&#x153;homebody.â&#x20AC;? In earlier years, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I voraciously devoured music,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went out to shows all the time and I heard so much stuff.... and I love music still but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find myself actually listening to it anymore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hard to maintain being the same level of a fan as I used to be. I lament that a little bit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to get that spark of discovering new music back. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been going through in the past two or three years.â&#x20AC;? As for his lovely songs, Barber canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pin down how he creates them. He keeps an open mind for inspiration to strike when he â&#x20AC;&#x153;noodlesâ&#x20AC;? around on the guitar or piano, trying to find workable chord progressions and patterns. Sometimes, if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lucky, he can

Barber, who has a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in philosophy from McMaster University, said the best advice he can give to young songwriters is to be authentic â&#x20AC;&#x153;and have your music come from an honest place.â&#x20AC;? And, when writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s block hits, not to force the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I have a prolonged period, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel great about that but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let myself get down,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you have to work on other aspects of your craft and maybe just sing other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs for a while and figure out how they did it so easily.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Matthew Barber will lead a songwriting workshop on Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Port Moody Arts Centre (2425 St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St.).

Dance in a Wormhole Cori Caulfield returns to Dances for a Small Stage with an original piece By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

About a decade ago, Port Moody-based dance instructor, performer and choreographer Cori Caulfield wondered aloud what was missing in contemporary dance performances. She talked extensively with her technical director at the time, Jonathan Ryder, about certain elements not seen in modern shows, and how they could push further. The topic came up often over the years until, this past summer, when Ryder called Caulfield to suggest they collaborate on a new and innovative piece for the next Dances for a Small Stage, a popular series in Vancouver of which Caulfield had taken part in the inaugural edition in 2002 and had contributed many times since. With input from the curator, Julie-anne Saroyan, Caulfield and Ryder devised a seven-minute piece called Wormhole, with an original score from Mark Taylor. Being a new season, Saroyan wanted the motif of “fall” for her upcoming dance series; at first, Caulfield said, her interpretation began as falling through a rabbit hole, “going from one dimension to another,” she recalled. “Then I realized my fall was quite rapid and also quite extreme so I thought of the idea for a wormhole, where you go in unimaginable amounts of time and space in an instant.” Wormholee will be one of eight numbers presented Friday and Saturday at Burnaby’s Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. And it’s the first time Dances has been held outside of Vancouver (it will also launch the venue’s 2011-’12 season, Live at the ‘Bolt.) Besides Caulfield, Ryder is also teaming up with Cory Philley for the Burnaby show. Other dancers are Karissa Barry, Kathryn Crawford, Léon Feizo-Gas, Lina Fitzner, Caroline Liffmann, Caitlin Griffin, Deanna Overland and Robert Mitchell. Dances for a Small Stage started in Toronto in the 1990s and was brought to Vancouver with the creator’s permission by MovEnt, a non-profit dance company. Its aim is to showcase new and established contemporary dance in usual places, like the Royal Canadian Legion on Commercial Drive, a run-down drinking hole. Since it launched, more than 200 performers have offered their talent to Dances for a Small Stage, including artists from Ballet BC. As well, Dances has travelled twice to Ottawa to show at the National Arts Centre: the first time, in 2006, for the Canada Dance Festival; the second, in 2009, for BC Scene. Caulfield said performing in Dances brings a whole new audience — many of whom haven’t been introduced to contemporary dance. Many times, Caulfield said, she’s gone to Dances where the lineup has been around the block at the Legion, which pleases her. “As an artist, I’m not interested in limiting who experiences what I do and so anything that expands on the audience and allows more people to become engaged is very exciting,” she said. • Dances for a Small Stage runs Sept. 23 and 24 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts (6450 Deer Lake Ave., Burnaby). Tickets are $15 with the show starting at 8 p.m. Call 604-205-3000. jwarren@tricitynews.com

(Smashnuk) leaves her husband (Gordon) alone in a hotel room for a few hours, setting in motion a series of disasters that follow one on another like a series of dominoes. “It appealed to me as sort of a Fawlty Towersmeets-Benny Hill kind of situation, and heaven knows I’ve stayed in enough hotels like this on the Continent,” King said. Freeman’s script fulfills King’s vision of the farce as something akin to an aircraft on a runway. It starts off grounded and connected to reality, but after an event fires the engines it accelerates faster and faster until it is airborne. “And there’s no parachute,” she adds. But there is still a need for the connection to reality, she contends. “No matter how crazy it gets, the audience still needs to be engaged with the characters.” The problem with farce, like pantomime, is that seems easier to do than it is, King said. Effects that seem arbitrary and chaotic in performance must be meticulously planned and

She’s one of the most assiduous producers of farce in this region. But Ellie King, founder and artistic director of the Royal Canadian Theatre Company, admits that it is only 10 years ago since she directed her first. That was Michael Frayn’s Noises Off, at the late Burr Theatre in New Westminster, where she was formerly resident artistic director. “I’d seen a few farces,” said King, also well-known as a champion of the traditional English Christmas pantomime. “But the idiom hadn’t really appealed to me that much.” She feels now that it was only because she’d seen the wrong farces — done in the wrong way. Flash forward a decade and King is now presenting her latest in the idiom, titled A Bedfull of Foreigners, by Dave Freeman, at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre this week, a follow-up to a healthy response to last year’s offering, No Sex, Please, We’re British. Working with a handpicked cast, including such reliables as Sam Gordon, Wendy Bollard, B e ck y H a ch e y a n d Nicole Smashnuk (who were all in No Sex), plus strong players Walter Ekins, Gary Peterman and Brett Harrison, she’s pleased at how everything has come together in this door-slammer set in a seedy hotel on the French-German border. The whole mess is predicated on a simple incident: a wife

Coquitlam Metro-Ford Jr. Wolves goalie Dylan Payne tries to block a close-in shot from Langley United’s Bradley Keen in a Vancouver Metro Soccer League men’s U-21 game Sunday at Cunnings Field at Town Centre Park. Unfortunately for Payne and the rest of the Jr. Wolves, Keen scored the game’s lone goal on the play in a 1-0 result.

Synergy secures tight win over Cliff Avenue Michell Francis fired in two goals as Coquitlam MetroFord Synergy secured a 4-3 victory Sunday over Burnaby’s Cliff Avenue United in a women’s Under-21 soccer battle at Bryne Creek field. Francis staked Synergy to a 2-0 margin but Cliff Avenue came back to knot the count 2-2 early in the second half. Synergy’s Hillary Ferguson gave the visitors a 3-2 lead and Kayla Mobilio upped the margin to 4-2 before Cliff Avenue struck late to close out the scoring. Synergy midfielder Shyan Cutless was among the standouts for the victors. • Sophie Dhami’s free-kick strike from 22 yards out midway through the second half gave Coquitlam Metro-Ford tNt a 2-1 triumph over the Tsawwassen Blues in girls U-13 Gold action Sunday. Dhami, with help from co-midfielder Elle Cummings, scored the game’s opening goal when she stole the ball off a Tsawwassen defender and launched an 18-yard drive into the top corner. After Tsawwassen evened the score 1-1, tNt goalie Alivia Ungaro made some key stops to keep the possibility of a CMF win alive. The tNt backline of Samantha Pedroso, Mikaella de los Reyes and Nicole Chursinoff was strong down the stretch.

Fox fries Hyacks Host Ravens burn New West in B.C. AAA exhibition grid outing By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

New Westminster Hyacks ran 12 plays on their opening drive, achieved three first downs and burned up half the first quarter. Terry Fox Ravens turned things around –– fast. After finally putting a stop to the Hyacks’ early offensive rush, the Ravens ran 11 straight running plays on their next possession, culminating with a two-yard Marko Bevanda scoring plunge. It was all Fox after that on way to a 33-6 romp in a B.C. AAA senior high school exhibition football game at Terry Fox Oval. In another game Friday, the Centennial Centaurs continue to tread tough American waters, falling 34-0 to the Eastside Catholic Crusaders in Sammamish, Wash. “We took a positive step forward this week,” said Fox co-head coach Tom Kudaba. “The coaches are starting to make decisions about who are go-to guys are going to be. I’m happy with how the defence played for the majority of the game. I’m also happy with the team spirit that is starting to build.” After the Hyacks first-series threat, the Ravens’ defence buckled down, forcing New

West into three straight three-and-outs to put the ball back in the hands of their offence. Mark Casuga capped the Ravens’ second drive with an eight-yard dash to paydirt, while Jake Nylund rambled in from three yards out to help Fox build a commanding 20-0 halftime lead. Nylund blasted into the end zone again from four yards out early in the third quarter to put the contest out of reach. “We made less mental mistakes,” said defensive back/kick returner Jack Brady on the difference in the game. “We played hard until every whistle [and] we missed very few tackles. Our ‘O’ line opened up holes while our ‘D’ line made a big push and pressured their QB’s.” With the count 26-0, the Hyacks finally crossed the Fox goal-line, only to have Brady respond immediately by bolting 82 yards on the ensuing kick-off for another Ravens’ major, one that ended up closing out the scoring. Nylund led all Raven ball carriers with 12 rushes for 95 yards and two touchdowns. END ZONE: Under new head coach Dave Lehman, Terry Fox juniors made it a grid sweep over New West by beating the host Hyacks 27-6 last Thursday.

Nice ’view in jr. golf A trio of Tri-City residents were topthree finishers at the Canadian Junior Golf Association’s BC Fall Classic last weekend at Vancouver’s Fraserview Golf Course. Coquitlam’s Trevor Garofano finished tied for second in the boys 15-19 age division after posting a two-round score of three-underpar 69-72-141, knotting him with Langley’s Callum Robinson (71-70141). Richmond’s Chris Crisologo won by two shots with 68-71-139. Port Moody’s Valentina Trillo placed second outright in the Girls Open category after shooting 74-76150, just one stroke behind winner Annie Songeyun Lee of Surrey (77-72-149). In the boys 14-and-under division, Coquitlam’s Henry Lee was third with a threeover 78-69-147.

A TRUE CLASSIC Contact is made at the plate during the Campbell Fall Classic mixed softball tournament Sept. 9-11 at Gates Park in Port Coquitlam. The event took place in the intense summer heat and featured eight teams, raising about $6,000 for needy youth via the SHARE Society and the Tri-City chapter of the Empty Stocking Fund.

of Everett, Wash. “Anthony was fantastic for us at the back this past week,” said SFU head coach Alan Koch. “He helped settle our back four for the final 30 minutes against Grand Canyon and helped preserve a big victory. “He has grown into a silent leader and has started off his senior year full of confidence,” Koch added. DiNicolo shared p l aye r- o f - t h e - we e k honours with Garion Holian of Montana State Billings.

FRAZAO FINISHES Janine F razao’s strike didn’t come on the best chance of the game but it was enough as the No. 5-ranked U B C T h u n d e r b i rd s women’s soccer squad blanked the visiting Re gina Coug ars 1-0 in their home opener Friday at Point Grey’s Thunderbird Park. The T-birds Rachael Sawer sent a cross deep in the Regina zone, which was misplayed by Cougars ’kee per Stephanie Possberg. The

ball squirted free onto the foot of Port Moody’s Frazao, who calmly deposited the gaffe into the goal. The win improved UBC to 2-0-0 on the Canada West university season, while the Cougs slipped to 0-2-1. UBC continued to apply pressure but couldn’t up their lead. The T-birds’ best chance came in the 78th minute when some terrific footwork by Frazao set up both Sawer and Taryn Lim, but both shots failed to find the mark.

Three of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of Acupuncture: • Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of Migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and now had taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture treatment was done on her over ﬁve visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches. • Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon with older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to ten times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptom had gone and he doesn’t have the urgency to visit the bathroom as often. • 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.

City of Port Coquitlam

Cooking with caution Fire safety education important as students prepare after-school snacks

Hey kids: Get active in Grade 5 and stay active in Grade 6! In a partnership to promote youth involvement in physical activity, the cities of Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, and Port Moody are once again offering Get Active! Cards for all Grade 5 students and Stay Active! Cards for Grade 6 students. The Get Active! Card gives Grade 5 students unlimited free admission to drop-in swimming, skating and gymnasiumbased activities at civic recreation centres in the Tri-Cities. The program is available to all Grade 5 students from Sept. 6, 2011 to Aug. 31, 2012. It is hoped that offering free admission to drop-in activities will encourage young people to try out different recreational activities, and start them on the path to having an active and healthy lifestyle. A Grade 6 Stay Active! Card is also being issued in the 2010/2011 school year as a transition to encourage continued participation in physical activity. The Grade 6 card allows for 12 free visits to recreation centres, enabling Grade 6 students to continue to develop healthy lifestyles. The card is valid Sept. 6, 2011 to Aug. 31, 2012.

How to receive and activate your card Students must bring the following documentation to Hyde Creek Recreation Centre (1379 Laurier Ave.), Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex (2150 Wilson Ave.) or The Outlet (#21002253 Leigh Sq.): • A letter of veriÀ Àcation from School District #43 identifying them as a Grade 5 or 6 student (paperwork available from local schools by Sept. 26). • Birth certiÀcate À or Care Card showing the student is of the applicable age to be in either Grade 5 or Grade 6 as of Dec. 31, 2011. • Proof of residency – students must live in Port Coquitlam. For more information, contact Nathan Taylor, Program Coordinator – Active Living and Sport, at 604.927.7923 or taylorn@portcoquitlam.ca.

Field improvements set for Evergreen Park Àeld is being added to Evergreen Park in north Port Coquitlam. The existing soil-based soccer À Àeld at Evergreen Park had deteriorated due to drainage issues, to the point where the Àeld À was only able to be used during the driest months. In a response to the need for increased bookable hours by local sport users, Port Coquitlam City Council approved funding to rebuild the soccer pitch to a sand-based Àeld. The improvement from a Class “B” À Àeld to a Class “A” Àeld will assist in meeting Àeld booking demands and take pressure off other overbooked Class “A” Àelds in the community. The Evergreen Park improvements are expected to be completed by spring 2012.

About 700 kitchen Àres take place in B.C. each year, and the leading cause is unattended cooking. Most cooking Àres in the home involve the stovetop. When school is in session, there is usually an increase in cooking Àres involving youths. Port Coquitlam Fire & Emergency Services is reminding parents to teach their children about kitchen safety if they allow them to prepare their own after-school snacks. Review the following information with your child before allowing them to use the kitchen unsupervised.

Cooking with caution: • Don’t use the oven or stove if you are sleepy. • Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen even for a short period of time, turn off the stove. • If you are simmering, baking, roasting or boiling food, check it regularly, remain at home and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. • Keep anything that can catch À Àre – oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains – away from your stovetop.

If you have a cooking Àre: • Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smother small grease Àres. Smother the À Àre by sliding the lid over the pan and then turn off the stovetop. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled. • For an oven Àre, turn off the heat and keep the door closed. • Don’t try to extinguish a larger Àre by yourself. Just get out and close the door behind you, then call 9-1-1. For more tips, visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/Àre.

Fire Prevention Week Oct. 9-15: Protect your family from Àre Eight Canadians die each year from Àres – most of them preventable. Actions like creating a family Àre escape plan, practising kitchen safety and testing À

smoke alarms can greatly reduce your family’s Àre risk. Visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/Àre for information about Fire Prevention Week and more À Àre safety tips.

Don’t forget to drop, cover and hold on at 10:20 a.m. on Oct. 20: www.shakeoutbc.ca

Dog licences help provide services About 9,000 dogs and their families live in Port Coquitlam – approximately one dog for every six to seven residents. The City recognizes that dogs are important members of many local families. Through the Animal Control section, the City provides a variety of services and functions related to dog ownership. Many of these are funded through fees from the annual dog licences required for all dogs over six months of age.

Dog licences The City canvassed the entire community from March to September this year to raise awareness of the requirement for dog licences, and to increase revenue for Animal Control services. Each year the number of licensed dogs is increasing, creating revenue that helps provide dog owners and community with a variety of services. Animal shelter and adoption services Each year, dozens of stray dogs, cats and even birds are picked up from local streets and provided safe shelter. Licenced dogs are the most quickly to be reunited with their owners – often the same day. Adoptable unclaimed pets receive medical care, vaccinations, an identifying tattoo or microchip, and are spayed or neutered before being placed for adoption by the City’s animal control contractor Countryside

Dogs can run free at the Shaughnessy Park Dog Off-Leash Area. Kennels (for information about cat and dog adoptions, please visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/pets).

dog ownership in Port Coquitlam, visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/dogs.

Community safety and well being Animal Control staff enforce the Animal Control Bylaw to ensure dogs are good neighbours, are not a threat to people or other dogs, and don’t damage or leave their waste on public property. There is high public demand for enforcement of the “poop and scoop” bylaw, as it is widely agreed that it is unacceptable for owners to leave dog waste in parks and playgrounds or to throw bags of dog waste into the bush. Animal Control also investigates complaints about barking dogs, aggressive dogs, dogs at large, dog bites and other dog-related issues. Dogs at large and excessive barking make up the highest percentage of Animal Control calls. Other services include picking up pets and wildlife killed on roads. For more information related to

The City provides free biodegradable dog waste bags in most parks. Dog owners can also visit the Shaughnessy Park Dog Off-Leash Area. Open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., it is more than an acre in size and located in the 3300-block of Shaughnessy Street, opposite Chester Place. Amenities include a forested trail circuit, enclosed small-dog area, benches, picnic tables and parking. Info: www.portcoquitlam.ca/dogpark. Due to demand from dog owners, the City is considering opening an off-leash area on the south side.
