More transit – but not more taxes: poll
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
While a new poll shows Metro Vancouver residents overwhelmingly want upgraded transit, it also shows most don’t want higher taxes on motorists or property owners. Angus Reid Public Opinion conducted the poll for the union representing the region’s bus drivers, which has urged mayors to support TransLink’s expansion plan. see 85% WANT,, page g A6 6

Attracting tournaments to Coquitlam could pay off in economic spinoffs, says a city report.
Coquitlam wants to make it easier to host big events — and draw big tourism bucks — to the city’s new and improved parks and sports venues. The new strategy was unveiled this week at the same time staff formally announced the city’s intention to bid on the 2016 BC Summer Games. The events tourism push comes after the city recently spent around $57 million to modernize the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex; millions of dollars also have gone into Town Centre Park and Percy Perry Stadium, Mackin
Park and the new Chimo Pool. Recently, council and staff struck a working group and heard from about 50 community stakeholders about how Coquitlam could compete against other Metro Vancouver cities that already have large sporting venues and established tourism policies such as in Surrey and Langley. In a report titled Celebrate Coquitlam published this month, the think-tank highlighted five factors to make the plan a reality: • having sport and event tourism and destination venues to attract and support events, participants and crowds at local arenas, pools and parks; • establishing partnerships with businesses, community agencies and groups for economic development purposes; see ‘CHAMPS’ CHAMPS SOUGHT, SOUGHT, page A4

Family pleads for info on missing father Son sends message in Farsi to father By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The family of a missing elderly man issued an emotional plea to the public for help Thursday morning with hopes of generating any tips that could lead to his whereabouts. Jafar Imanpour was visiting from Iran when he left his son’s home in the Toronto Street area of Port Coquitlam on the evening of Sept. 25 supposedly for a 15-minute walk. The 74-year-

been generated. On Thursday, Hossein Imenpour, Jafar’s son, issued a plea to the public in Farsi, hoping that his father will hear the call to come home. “Where have you gone?” he said. “We are all waiting for you. Mom and the rest of the family are waiting for your return and we want to see you as soon as possible. If you can see me or hear my voice, please contact the police.” The family is also offering a $5,000 reward to anyone that can provide information leading to Imanpour. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl.

Fix funding, says trustee By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The funding system for B.C.’s public schools is broken and needs to be fixed, says School District 43’s board chair, who will be offering a shopping list of suggestions to the BC School Trustees Association next week. Melissa Hyndes, who has been appointed to a BCSTA committee to review proposals for reforming education funding in B.C., says the current funding system is inequitable and unfair, and needs a complete overhaul. “What there needs to be is greater equity across the board,” said the Port Moody trustee, who said districts have been labouring under a poorly constructed funding system for nearly a decade. The original idea of the fiscal framework established in 2002 was to simplify the funding model and allocate grants for each student instead of funding specific districts or program costs. But when districts started experiencing declining enrolment, costs didn’t diminish and struggling

“Let’s identify what the needs are and the mandate, and let’s fund it accordingly.” Melissa Hyndes, chair, SD43 board of education districts got extra funding protection. Hyndes said SD43 didn’t get any of this money yet it has experienced higher costs. What’s more, she said, there are now more districts receiving extra grants for declining enrolment and other factors when it would make more sense to figure out what it costs to operate B.C. schools and fund accordingly, without all the add-on grants. Hyndes cited as one example the rural factor grants some districts — such as the urban Greater Victoria, which receives $1 million — get. “How does that work?” she asked. The board doesn’t begrudge smaller districts getting extra funding to meet certain needs, Hyndes noted, but all school districts should be funded adequately. There are now six dif-
ferent grants available to struggling districts and School District 43 doesn’t get any of them. And it continues to be one of the lowest funded districts even though it’s one of the largest, is geographically and demographically diverse, and also manages to be one of the highest achieving. SD43 is calling for a review of the system and made several recommendations in its brief to the BCSTA, which will be vetted along with proposals from other districts and sent to Education Minister George Abbott for review. In its report, the SD43 board called for a review of the public education mandate, an analysis of what it costs to fund the mandate and sufficient money to do the job. The board also recommends the province examine what it should cost to deliver education programs
using technology, provide money to cover negotiated labour settlements and allow districts to use money for carbon offsets — about $300,000 in SD43 alone — to reduce their carbon footprint rather than funding private sector projects. Hyndes said she would also like to know how the province would divvy up the $165 million it has proposed for special education to settle a dispute with teachers over class composition. “Let’s identify what the needs are and the mandate, and let’s fund it accordingly,” Hyndes said. The proposed Class Organization Fund has been criticized by the BC Teachers’ Federation for being inadequate and the teachers’ union is seeking clarification from the B.C. Supreme Court on the ruling that struck down Bills 27 and 28, which regulate class size and composition. In the meantime, the BCTF has stopped meeting with the province on the issue, which the court has ruled needs to be settled by next spring. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Imanpour does not speak English and does not know anyone in the area other than his family. He is known t o f re q u e n t S t a r bu ck s in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, and his family said he does not suffer from dementia or Alzheimers disease.

Trial date to be set in 2 deaths By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The case of a man charged in the alleged hit-and-run deaths of two women in Coquitlam is one step closer to trial. The lawyer for Cory Sater said he has received the appropriate documents from the Crown and is now ready to move forward with a trial. Tony Serka had been pushing the Crown to disclose early drafts of an accident reconstruction report he said were essential to his case. The delay in receiving those documents made setting a date for trial impossible but on Wednesday, he said he and his client are ready to move forward. Both the defence and the Crown will appear before the presiding judge next Thursday to set a trial date. The accident reconstruction report was reportedly completed some time ago by the lead investigators on the case but was later altered under a peer review process, according to lawyers for both sides. Serka has said that he wants to see those changes reversed and that he will re-

quire all versions of the reconstruction report that were submitted before the case goes to trial. “I received the original draft,” he said. “I haven’t received the subsequent drafts but we feel we need to set a date.” Sater is accused of killing two women and seriously injuring a man after an alleged hit-and-run accident at the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Road. Charlene Reaveley stopped to assist another motorist, Lorraine Cruz, who had been involved in a minor accident when they were both struck and killed. Cruz’s friend, Paulo Calimahin, was seriously injured. At the next hearing, Sater is expected to make a plea and will choose whether to stand trial before a judge alone or a judge and jury. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Two places of worship that have received tax breaks from the city of Coquitlam will soon have to pay up. This week, the city released a document showing the Sisters of Immaculate Heart and the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church have residences on their respective properties, which is not allowed under the city’s permissive tax exemption bylaw. As a result, the Sisters will be billed $1,119 next year and Good Shepherd $400. And because of the new municipal fees, those organizations will also be subject to corresponding taxes from other authorities such as TransLink. Sheena MacLeod, Coquitlam’s manager of financial services, told The Tri-City Newss city staff are now reviewing all 50 properties that are currently eligible for tax exemptions and results of that review should go to council in the spring. And if changes are made to tax exemptions, they wouldn’t apply until 2013. Last September, after rejecting exemption requests from three groups with facilities in Coquitlam, council told city managers it wanted to re-think how the city grants tax breaks, saying taxpayers shoulder too much of the burden. As well, council voiced concern over the list’s inconsistencies and the growing cost downloads by senior governments (i.e., groups with provincially run care homes were applying for permissive tax exemptions). Next year, the 50 properties up for exemptions — including 30 churches — are expected to get nearly $1 million in tax relief combined (city council on Monday gave three readings to the bylaw) — translating to about 1% of the tax base. Among the exempted recipients are: the Burquitlam Care Society (Burquitlam Lions Centre); Burquitlam Senior Housing Society (L.J. Christmas Manor); Société du Foyer Maillard (Foyer Maillard); Earl Haig Society (Earl Haig Retirement Residence); Colony Farm Community Garden Society; Nature Trust of BC (for recreational lands at Addington Point and Siwash Island); Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 263; Community Living Society; and Howe Sound Services Society (Windsong House). Under the province’s Community Charter, municipal councils have until Oct. 31 to pass a bylaw to exempt properties for the following year.
‘Champs’ sought continued from front page • hosting cultural diversity events, adding and possibly consolidating cultural festivals; • holding environmental outdoor recreation events to highlight the city’s natural assets; • and establishing a role for the city in creating a one-stop shop at city hall to help outsiders host or facilitate events. On Monday, Lori MacKay, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, told the recreation committee the city already has a number of successful destination celebrations — including the BC Highland Games and Scottish Festival, Canada Day festivities and the Teddy Bear Picnic — and “there’s a desire to do more.” The report, she said, will serve as a guide to move forward and for future budgeting. Coun. Doug MacDonell, the city’s recreation committee chairman, said stakeholders have made it clear they don’t want the strategies to fall by the wayside and have asked city council to adopt and implement the policies as soon as possible. Mayor Richard Stewart said he toured Kamloops last summer and saw how that city is marketing its sports facilities. Coquitlam is in a central location in the Lower Mainland, he said, and “has a tremendous opportunity to do that, too.” Meanwhile, the city is looking for “Games Champions” as city staff prepare the 2016 BC Summer Games bid. Representatives from the local sports, arts, school and tourism sectors will be approached over the next few months and asked to build a team before the application is submitted to the province. Last year’s BC Summer Games in Langley Township generated $2.58 million in direct community spinoffs while the 2008 games in Kelowna brought in $2.6 million. Coun. Selina Robinson questioned Coquitlam’s chances given that the 2012 and 2014 games are in Lower Mainland municipalities but MacKay said the province likes to tie its events with milestones and Coquitlam will mark its 125th birthday in 2016.

More delinquents By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The economic downturn of 2008 is still having an impact on Port Coquitlam’s financial situation as the city moves into its budget deliberations this fall. For one thing, the city has had an increase in the number of delinquent property tax payments and will likely collect extra revenue from penalties and interest charged to those property owners who were in arrears. Mindy Smith, the city’s director of corporate services, said following the 2008 financial crisis, taxes in 2009 were unpaid by more property owners than usual. When these bills remained outstanding in 2010, they were considered in arrears and interest was charged. With a tax sale pending in September, most of the 46 homeowners still behind in 2011 were able to pay their bill. Fourteen remaining properties were sold last month at the annual tax sale, an auction that is held in municipalities every year on the last Monday of September. “There are no delinquent tax bills outstanding at this time,” Smith said in an email. “Any properties with outstanding delinquent taxes were sold at tax sale.” A person who has had his property sold at a tax sale has one year to redeem the property and retain ownership. Smith said all of the properties sold in the last few years through the tax sale auction have been redeemed. An annual property tax sale is held at 10 a.m. on the last Monday of September in council chambers and all properties with three years of unpaid property taxes are subject to sale. If there are no bidders on the property, the city is declared the purchaser. The bidding starts at the upset price, which equals all outstanding taxes, penalties and interest, including a 5% tax sale costs. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

85% want improvements continued from front page
Seventy five per cent of those surveyed want more money simply transferred from the province — a free lunch scenario most mayors admit won’t happen. Another 47% of respondents would make t r a n s i t r i d e r s p ay higher fares while 46% support raising parking taxes, 34% back tolls on roads and bridges, and 30% are in favour of further increases in the carbon tax if the money is steered to TransLink. Just 26% of survey respondents back a higher gas tax, 22% support a vehicle levy and only 20% would add to property taxes. The plan being voted on today (Friday) by Metro mayors would generate nearly half the required money by raising the TransLink gas tax by two cents, to 17 cents per litre. The rest would be determined later — cities would work with the province to negotiate new funding sources. If they don’t materialize, a property tax hike would kick in. T h e r e ve n u e i n crease before the mayors today would ensure the Evergreen Line is built to the Tri-Cities and fund a variety of other upgrades around the region, along with a general increase in bus service hours. Several mayors who support the plan, including those from the
Trustees running Only incumbent trustees have so far filed their nomination papers to run as candidates for the board of education in the Nov. 19 civic election. Nominations opened Tuesday and close next Friday, Oct. 14. By The Tri-City News’ press time Thursday, the following candidates had announced their intentions by filing nomination papers: • Veteran board members Keith Watkins and Melissa Hyndes, who is the current board chair, are running again for the two Port Moody trustee seats. • In Coquitlam, incumbents Brian Robinson, Gail Alty and Gerri Wallis are once again running for school trustee. • In Port Coquitlam, John Keryluk is once again running for one of two trustee spots. • And in Anmore/ Belcarra, incumbent Holly Butterfield has filed her nomination papers. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Tri-Cities, Vancouver and Surrey, have said they will use their population-weighted votes to push it through. And the mayors have been talking up possible funding sources that wouldn’t directly hit households or motorists. Those options include charging developers extra to build at high densities near rapid transit stations. “You capture some of the windfall profit associated with the location of SkyTrain stations,” C o q u i t l a m M ayo r Richard Stewart said.
“You apply some of it to the construction of the transit system that creates the profit in the first place.” Selling cor porate naming rights for SkyTrains and stations is another idea mayors have raised. And Metro Vancouver’s board has voted to investigate a possible tax on shipping containers moving through the port. The mayors say they want Victoria to grant them a variety of new sources but concede much of the money must come out of local pockets
one way or another. Transportationlinked sources that make driving more expensive relative to transit are expected to be high on the list of options considered. The poll found 85% of the more than 500 respondents want transit system improvements. Don MacLeod, president of Canadian Auto Workers Local 111, said much more bus service is needed but called TransLink’s supplemental plan a “step in the right direction.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

For the third consecutive year, Aviva, a Canadian insurance company, is offering up to $1 million in grants to community projects that receive the highest number of votes on their website. In the running for this first qualifying round are Coquitlam’s Omega Gymnastics Academy, which wants to bring the Tumblebus program to the Tri-Cities; the Port Coquitlam Youth Society, which aims to establish a Challenge program for youth; and Coquitlam’s Mountain View elementary school, which wants to expand and update its well-worn playground. For each, a grant of $50,000 or more is key to getting these projects off the ground. Bobbie Symes, vice-president of the parent-run Omega Gymnastics Academy, said the Tumblebus would enable her group to expand its outreach to schools and daycares. Omega is already offering programs to these groups but the Tumblebus would enable the group to get out even more and offer programs for free for the first year.

She said the Tumblebus is a full-sized school bus converted into a gym with bars, beam, vault, climbing wall, trampoline, rings, zip line and monkey bars and costs $75,000 to purchase. If her group can get enough votes, it can acquire the bus as well as pay for staff to bring it to different areas of the city.
“This is a great opportunity for us to share our passion and commitment for this sport with others who may not otherwise be able to,” Symes said. “Think of the number of daycares that are out there. We could roll up to them and kids could learn about gymnastics and get physical activities with certified coaches,”
she said, noting that gym sports are great for improving children’s strength, flexibility and balance. At Mountain View elementary, the school’s parent advisory council is seeking support for a grant to update its tired and old playground equipment. The group would like to expand the playground as well to appeal to all ages and groups in the growing multicultural enclave. Michelle Busch, who has lived in the neighbourhood for 10 years, said improving the playground would help build the community and encourage children to play outdoors instead of on their computers at home. It’s also a way to make new immigrants feel at home and help them get to know their neighbours. “Here there’s really diverse... families. There’s lots of single parents raising children here, low cost-housing developments and everything else in-between,” Busch said. “The kids really feel ownership towards the school and that playground. “I think that sense of community is a really big deal,” said Busch, who hopes to get a lot of votes for the program on the Aviva website. “Everyone’s trying to help as much as they can, using Facebook and Twitter to spread the word.” Also in the running for an Aviva community grant is the Challenge Day program proposed by the Port Coquitlam Youth Society, which would provide workshops for youth to promote compassion, acceptance and respect and work to end bullying.

he provincial government didn’t have a lot of extra cash to throw around in its throne speech this week but it offered up several items for the chattering classes to consider. The new family statutory holiday, starting Feb. 18, 2013, is one such promise. Now, who doesn’t like an extra day off, especially during the dark days of winter? A special day to get the kids together for a family meal, a game of Scrabble, a ski trip? Or — horrors— a trip south for some cross-border shopping? You can’t legislate what people will do with their time off but it’s certain business won’t like the idea. Labour costs go up when people get paid for not working. Still, the idea isn’t new, even if some consider the timing bad. Besides, Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan already have a Family Day in February, so why not B.C.?

he voice is a powerful instrument. Whether delivering a political speech or performing a song, our voices can be a moving mode of communication. We go to school for years, where we strengthen our vocabularies and learn to speak eloquently. We use our voices in battles of wit and intelligence, to argue our points and get what we want. We use them in times of danger and distress to call out for help. Yes, our voices are very important, especially our musical voices, which we can use to reach others and ourselves in impactful ways. I have been thinking about the voice a lot lately as I have recently moved in with a new roommate who sings 90% of his waking hours, whether it be “There is a puppy, across the street, wearing a leash” in a high-pitched
drawl or a medley of Gleee tunes while he is getting ready in the morning. In my life now, singing is everywhere. One may think that would be annoying, and possibly to some it would, but surprisingly, I have found quite the opposite has happened. And I have also begun to sing. I realized this the other day when I caught myself singing my latte order to a barista, then again when I missed three calls because I was singing so loudly to myself. I have also found that when you sing, you tend to be pretty happy. A warning, however: When you’re singing because you’ve caught the bug from someone in close proximity, be warned that songs sung are not up to the individual in question, and they will by default be stuck singing snippets of songs sung by the infector. And it’s funny how a song has the power to take you back in time; memories can come flooding back at the sound of a particular cord progression. Sometimes, you are transported for the brief moment in time and you

“My great-grandmother would play her piano for hours. She said that she did not feel alone when had her music and said that she often felt like her deceased sister was sitting next to her on the piano bench.” Naomi Yorke can remember what if feels like to be at your eighth birthday again. The connection between music and memory can be seen in Alzheimer patients, who often have strong flashbacks and recollections when they hear songs from their past, and are sometimes so struck they will sing the words
of the old song and react with smiles and tears to the melodies. My great-grandmother would play her piano for hours and sing old songs softly to herself. She said that she did not feel alone when had her music and said that she often felt like her deceased sister was sitting next to her on the piano bench. Besides, it just feels good to sing. Something happens when you move your lips and find a melody that makes you happier and makes it stick. I wonder if one day when I am much older and wiser, and again hear one of the tunes my college roommate used to sing, will I be transported back to this time in my life? Is all this singing solidifying and strengthening my memories? I guess only time will tell but for now, it just feels good to belt it out like there is no one watching. Naomi Yorke is a Port Coquitlam student who lived in Shanghai, China for four years, writing about her experiences twice a month for The TriCity News. She now lives in Chicago, where she’s attending art school, and continues her column.

FACE TO FACE: Should federal lefties unite under one banner to fight the right?
Yes, unless you back the Tories E
ight years after the Progressive Conservative and the Canadian Alliance parties merged to unite Canada’s political right, there is increasing chatter about a similar movement to unite the left. The leadership of both the federal Liberals and NDP say they prefer the status quo. But at some point, the simple math of what it will take to defeat the Conservatives will have to dawn upon even the most devout members of the Liberals and New Democrats. Aside from the 1993 Kim Campbell fiasco, Canada’s rightof-centre parties have consistently garnered between 35% and 40% of the popular vote — this is the conservative base. In other words, to dethrone the Harper Conservatives in 2015, a party will need to earn more than 40% of the popular vote. Under current circumstances, it’s doubtful that either the Liberals or the NDP can unilaterally achieve those levels of support. First of all, the federal Liberals are a mess. The so-called natural governing party of Canada has been floundering without an identity since Jean Chrétien retired
in 2003. Paul Martin was a fiscal conservative in disguise, Stephane Dion moved the party to the left with a disastrous green policy and Michael Ignatieff was all over the political map, zigging and zagging with each new headline. And now, in their infinite wisdom, the Grits have chosen the turncoat Bob Rae as their interim leader. The former NDP MP and NDP premier is somehow supposed to help the federal Liberals differentiate themselves from the NDP? The New Democrats, as well, will be hard-pressed to make any gains in the next election without Jack Layton. A fickle Quebec electorate combined with a slate of leadership candidates who seem to lack the charisma, the presence and the profile of Layton doesn’t bode well for the party’s long term aspirations. Without a merger between the federal New Democrats and Liberals, this country is destined for a decade of Harper. Not that I’m complaining, though, as a prolonged period of sound conservative policies is just what this country needs. But from a political strategy point of view, a merger is the right thing for the left.

No, influence would be lost I
s it time the political left in Canada coalesced around a few broad progressive principles to run against the Conservatives in the next election? My colleague, always in favour of clarifying and parsing the competition, thinks so, as does a large chorus of politicians and pundits of all political persuasions. Proponents point to the politically successful unification of the right as a template for the left to follow. The logic is simple and compelling, both arithmetically and strategically. Sixty eight per cent of Canadians did not vote for the conservative agenda in the last election and 68% of Canadians surveyed favoured Barack Obama’s progressive agenda over George Bush’s right-wing agenda in the last U.S. elections. In short, Canadians are predominantly not conservative. If the NDP, Liberals, Greens and the Bloc could unify under a big political tent of orange, red, green and bilingual, they would surely overwhelm Tory blue. Political power is there for the taking. Despite this, most left-leaning Canadians worry about unifying their side of the spectrum. They fear the price of scrabbling centrewards might be too great to pay.
The unification of the left would result in a polarized, two-party system, more adversarial, more negative and less civil. Sound familiar? Canada has been served well by a party system in which multiple perspectives provide a balance of power. Some of our best governments have been minority governments, tempered by pressure applied by third and fourth parties as well as the official opposition. The left is justifiably proud of the social programs it has won for Canadians, despite never having been in power. Our multi-party system has allowed the left to stay to the left. Unifying the “centre left,” as some centre-left politicians are advocating, might destroy the left and its valuable tempering influence. In Canada, the party that wins the hearts of the political centre wins elections. Instead of “uniting the left,” the clarion call of all progressive parties should be “expose the right” and “win back the centre.” Uniting the left may make sense arithmetically and strategically but for Canadian lefties, it doesn’t make sense philosophically, either for them or for the nation. Although moving to the “centre left” makes mathematical and strategic sense, it doesn’t work as well philosophically.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS About that tax hike... The Editor, Re. “Mayors set to hike gas tax” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 5). No one doubts sustainable mass transit is long overdue in the Lower Mainland but there’s something seriously wrong with the choice to use SkyTrain for the Evergreen Line, and never has it been more obvious than now, with funding becoming such an issue. Up until 2008, the line was planned to be a light rail project. Since then, TransLink proposed using SkyTrain-type technology instead, hence the need for an additional $574 million. And we’ll need a lot more than the two-cent-a-litre gas tax increase to fund it. Besides, if you’ve been following the news, it’s clear the SkyTrain proposal was a boondoggle all along and that it wouldn’t benefit the communities here at all. Let’s look at the numbers: • TransLink’s proposed light rail project was set at $900 million — $500 million less than SkyTrain, which means we wouldn’t have needed tax hikes of any kind. • With SkyTrain, there will be only six stations, as opposed to 11 with TransLink’s proposed light rail project. • We won’t be able to extend SkyTrain once it’s built. Light rail costs an average of about $30 million per kilometre, as opposed to SkyTrain’s $133 million per kilometre. • Light rail is used in hundreds of other cities around the world, SkyTrain only in a few, and those cities run much higher capacity than our SkyTrains do. The proposed gas tax increase will net $40 million a year, which means that to fund the $574 million gap, without even more tax increases, it’ll take over 12 years. This gas tax is just the tip of the iceberg. We’re either going to have to pay way, way more taxes or we’re going to end up with defunct concrete pillars all over the place. Ray Miyasaka, Coquitlam
PLEASE VOTE ‘NO’
The Editor, A letter to Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart: I beg you to re-think this additional two-cent-alitre gas tax on the following grounds: • Coquitlam residents have been paying an escalating so-called “eco tax” in order to “encourage” us to use public transit when we’ve had no adequate public transit to use. In effect, we have been subsidizing transportation in other municipalities and it’s grossly unfair to saddle us with a further gas tax. • Consumers in B.C. are being gouged by the oil companies. Asking us to pay this additional tax just is not a suitable stratagem at this juncture. • I feel poorer and poorer each year. My municipal taxes have gone up over the past half decade at a much higher rate than inflation and the current system of the Metro Vancouver negotiating salary settlements for all municipalities has given city staff handsome increases at a time when the rest of us are either losing jobs or getting no increases. • Many of us are con-
vinced that TransLink is poorly run and money already given it has not been spent wisely. • I agree with the mayor of Surrey that SkyTrain is an outmoded transportation system with a price tag far too expensive for these recessionary times. • Time will always be a factor. Since a transit trip into Vancouver now takes twice as long as the same trip by car and since so many need the time that would be wasted by using public transit for other important family needs, trying to punish drivers instead of getting more creative with such things as better carpooling is more than foolish: it is downright discriminatory and not supportable. In short, if this tax is approved, I can only hope two things will happen: • Every mayor who votes for this tax gets voted out of office in November. • The province takes a closer look at the spending practices at TransLink and that the public is subsequently able to regain the control we have obviously lost.

Running COQUITLAM
F i r s t - t e r m Coqu itlam Coun. Linda Reimer said yesterday she will run for re-election in next month’s civic race. Reimer, who is a past District Parent Advisory Council chair and Coquitlam Rotarian, said in a news release city hall needs a “better plan for economic development, with a focus on giving residents more opportunities to live and work in their communities.” Her other mandates include cutting red tape at city hall, narrowing the tax gap between the residential and business rates, offering incentives to business owners wanting to locate in Coquitlam and reducing the city’s carbon footprint.
PORT COQUITLAM
Por t Coquitlam Coun. Brad West will seek a second term on city council. The 26-year-old is currently the chair of the city’s smart growth committee and has previously chaired the community safety committee and healthy community committee. When he was first elected West made history when, at 23, he became the youngest person ever voted on to PoCo council. If he is elected to a second term, West said he would continue to focus on the city’s finances, expanded recreation facilities and responsible growth planning. Por t Coquitlam M L A M i k e Farnworth and former School District 43 trustee Debra Burton have endorsed West’s campaign. For more information, go to www.bradwest.ca.

This is not Royer’s first run for public office. She ran for the NDP in Port MoodyWe s t wo o d - Po r t Coquitlam in the 2008 federal election, losing to Conservative James Moore.

Coq. councillors want more amenities for new Glen Park By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
As the first phase of moder nizing a Coquitlam neighbourhood park gets underway, some city councillors are still pushing for amenities that aren’t part of the overall plan. On Monday, city staff told the recreation committee the first part of the $508,000 renewal project for Glen Park is likely to start in the spring with a new entry plaza off Pipeline Road, playground equipment, picnic area and off-leash dog zone. But councillors Mae Reid and Neal Nicholson said they’ re disappointed the finished park won’t have a small pool or washrooms. “We are looking at this [park] to support a high density in Town Centre,” Nicholson said. In March, city council approved the conceptual plan for the 16.7acre park, saying the area — located south of Glen elementary school — shouldn’t be used for organized sports; rugby clubs had wanted to turn Glen Park into their home, Coun. Doug Macdonell, chair of the
city’s recreation committee, said at the time. Funding for the Phase 1 re-development will come from the city’s parkland development fund ($205,130) and Polygon ($303,249) as part of its nearby Windsor Gate project. Other city news:
SENIORS’ ADVICE
Emerging trends for the aging population are prompting a Coquitlam city councillor to call for a seniors’ committee to be struck next year. On Monday, Coun. Linda Reimer put forward a notice of motion to ask council to organize a group that would advise city hall on topics such as programs and services for the elderly as well as mobility concerns and potential partnerships with School District 43. Reimer made the motion after attending a workshop at last week’s Union of BC Municipalities convention that looked at upcoming issues for the baby boomer population. “We’re going to have to start planning our communities around that,” Reimer told The
Tri-City News yesterday. Port Moody is the only Tri-City municipality with a specific committee that deals with senior services and accessibility. If okayed by city council at its next regular meeting on Oct. 17, the group could start discussions in the new year, Reimer said.
PERMITS
Coquitlam council is set to issue development permits this month for nearly 300 new homes in City Centre and on Burke Mountain. On Monday, the city’s land use committee endorsed the permit — the final authorization before building starts, and looks at form and character of a development — for a 28-storey tower at the northwest corner of Pinetree Way and Glen Drive. The 195-unit highrise at the Ridgemont is being built by Bosa Properties and will include five ground-level stores and 20 universally accessible homes. As well, the committee approved a DP for 91 townhouses on Galloway Avenue on Burke Mountain — a
development that would be below the density allowed, said city planner Raul Allueva. The townhomes in the Smiling Creek neighbourhood would be built by Mosaic Homes in the Tudor style and on a slope between David Ave nu e a n d B u rke Mountain Promenade. Council is expected to consider the two permits at its Oct. 17 meeting. jwarren@tricitynews.com

PoCo delivers pizza & safety inspections Port Coquitlam residents with properly working smoke detectors could get a free pizza delivered to them next Friday by members of PoCo Fire and Emergency Services. Firefighters will be delivering select pizza orders from Domino’s by fire truck on Oct. 14, as part of Fire Prevention Week. During each delivery, firefighters will check the home’s smoke alarm. If it is working, the pizza is free. If it does not work, the department will replace either the batteries or the smoke alarm to ensure the home is functioning with a safe device. Statistics show that working smoke alarms reduce the chance of dying in a fire by half. Roughly two thirds of all home fire deaths are in homes either without smoke alarms or without working smoke alarms. A lack of maintenance and disconnected batteries are some reasons why smoke alarms malfunction. Fire Prevention Week runs from Oct. 9 to 15 this year and the theme is “protect your family from fire.� For more information about fire prevention and safety, go to www. portcoquitlam.ca/fire.
SMOKE ALARMS • Smoke alarms are required on every level of the home, including the basement. • They should be placed outside each sleeping area and inside each bedroom. • They must be replaced if older than 10 years. • They should be tested monthly by pushing the test button and should never be removed or disabled. • Replace a smoke alarm battery immediately if the alarm chirps.
Firefighters’ boot drive Port Moody firefighters hope to fill their boots this weekend with donations for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Firefighters will be collecting cash at the BC Liquor store and Thrifty Foods located at Suter Brook in Port Moody as well as the Starbucks and IGA located in Heritage Mountain Shopping Village, today (Friday) and Saturday. The community boot drive raises awareness and funds in support of neuromuscular disorders by purchasing mobility equipment, providing support services and funding research.

Saving $$ on service Coquitlam’s five arts and cultural buildings will have the same security and fire alarm provider as the city next year. This summer, city staff met with representatives from Place Maillardville, Place des Arts, Evergreen Cultural Centre, Coquitlam Public Library and Mackin House Museum — all city owned buildings — to look at trimming operational costs in 2012. Although the five groups agreed to keep their individual cleaning contracts at a total cost of $214,000 a year, the city realized a 50% savings potential by combining the security and fire alar m contracts with the city, Lori MacKay, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, wrote in a report that went before the city’s recreation committee this week. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Fire prevention week takes place from October 9 to 15, 2011, in order to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of October 9, 1871. This terrible fire killed 250 people and destroyed more than 100,000 homes. Make the most of this week by checking to see if your fire prevention knowledge is up to date. During a fire, fatalities are most often caused by the inhalation of carbon monoxide fumes rather than by burns. Smoke detectors are the most reliable way to be warned about a fire because they detect smoke before the flames appear. But be warned: if your smoke detectors are more than ten years old, they might not still be reliable. Check to see if they need to be replaced. Many families have started the good habit of replacing the batteries in their alarms when the clocks are changed in the spring and fall. It is also a good idea to ask your local fire service where the best places are to install your smoke alarms. Take advantage of public appearances by firefighters, such as during neighbourhood or charitable activities, and ask them to identify these places for you.

Be aware, be ready!
Ask your local firefighters to help you identify the best places in your home to install smoke alarms.
At the same time you are replacing your smoke alarm batteries, have your fire extinguishers checked. They are often out of date and sometimes they are unsuitable for the type of fire that could break out in your home. You should also ensure that you know how to use them properly.

Do your kids know what to do during a fire? During national Fire Prevention Week, ask your children if they know what to do when they see or smell smoke from a fire. Because a fire doubles in size every 30 seconds, it’s critical to make sure your children know the first thing to do if they see or smell smoke is to get away from the fire and find a safe place to dial 9-1-1. Plan escape routes from your home for you and your children and practice them often. When they call 9-1-1, call-takers will ask your children if they need help from the police, the fire department, or an ambulance. They will then ask to confirm addresses and phone numbers, so ensure you teach your children both. If a child is unsure of the address, 9-1-1 call-takers will ask them to describe where they are. For example, can they see a street sign or are they near a park or other landmark? They will ask what is happening and if your child is safe. Teach your children to follow any instructions the 9-1-1 call-taker provides, and to stay on the phone and not hang up until the 9-1-1 call-taker tells them to. For emergency services, location is critical. If you call 9-1-1 from a landline, the call-taker can pinpoint the exact address, name and phone number associated with that telephone. However, a cell phone will only provide your general location based on the longitude and latitude coordinates of where your cell phone is located. The exact location information the caller provides to 9-1-1 is crucial to ensure a quick response.
E-Comm 9-1-1, the emergency communications centre for southwest British Columbia, receives hundreds of accidental calls each day which tie up emergency lines. Parents should know that deactivated cell phones can still dial 9-1-1, so providing them to children as a toy is not recommended. Do not program 9-1-1 into any phone’s speed-dial because that leads to accidental calls. Keep phones in a case and if in a pocket or backpack, make sure the keypad is protected to avoid accidental calls. If you dial 9-1-1 accidentally, don’t hang up; stay on the line and speak with the 9-1-1 call-taker. E-Comm 9-1-1 provides dispatch to 19 fire departments in southwest B.C., including Delta Fire & Emergency Services, New Westminster Fire/Rescue Service, Port Moody Fire-Rescue and Richmond Fire-Rescue Services. For full list of fire departments and a selection of learning 9-1-1 learning material for your kids, visit ecomm911.ca. For daily public-safety related news, tip and info, follow @EComm911_info on Twitter. Fire Prevention Canada leads national Fire Prevention Week each October. This year’s theme is “Protect your family from fire.” These tips will help you and your kids help firefighters and dispatchers keep the community safe from the spread of fire: check your smoke alarms, keep matches and lighters away from children, and never leave cooking appliances unattended when in use. For more fire prevention tips for your home, visit fiprecan.ca.
As we give thanks this weekend, may we remember that fire prevention planning saves lives. A salute to those who keep us safe.

Fraser salmon ups and downs Burke meeting features fisheries expert Reynolds
The number of sockeye salmon returning to the Fraser River in 2009 was the lowest in 50 years, fuelling fears that the stock was rapidly collapsing. The following year, however, saw a salmon bonanza, with huge numbers of returning fish.
How can one year separate the worst and the best salmon returns? To find out what scientists think is causing such swings in salmon populations, attend the Oct. 11 meeting of the Burke Mountain Naturalists, where professor John Reynolds from SFU will present a slideshow on the ups and downs of Fraser River sockeye. Reynolds is an expert on fisheries and risks of extinction, and has served as an advi-
sor on these issues to federal and provincial governments. He co-chairs the marine fish section of the federal Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, and has testified as an expert witness at the ongoing Cohen Commission of Enquiry into Fraser Sockeye Salmon. The BMN meeting will be held next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the hall of Como Lake United Church (on the

Angels keep on trucking YOUR HISTORY Bryan Ness
Alzheimer’s disease is the 2nd most feared disease among Canadian baby boomers
P
ort Coquitlam Heritage Society’s new display theme, Guardian Angels, opened Wednesday at city hall, the Archives and the display centre on Mary Hill Road. Featured and honoured are the organizations in our community upon which we rely in times of need: police, fire, emergency preparedness, ambulance, search and rescue and St. John’s Ambulance. Fire Prevention Week 2011 will run from Oct. 9 to 15 with this year’s theme “Protect your family from Fire” so it seems appropriate for our story to recall the early days of the Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services Department. Even before incorporation in 1913, the need for a fire department in PoCo was evident. The business district around the CP Rail station on Dewdney Trunk Road consisted of a few wooden buildings surrounded by dense forest, which became tinder-dry in the summer. In 1912, R.J. Edwards was appointed fire chief and a volunteer brigade formed soon after to operate the new $8,000 state-of-the-art La France self-contained fire truck bought by the district. An early photo shows Matt Marshall Jr., Jim Pringle and Arthur Smith posing beside their new acquisition. When the new city hall opened way over on Shaughnessy Street in 1914, the community hall named Kelly’s Hall became the new home for the fire department. The same year saw spectacular forest fires raging uncontrolled on the north side of the city and Burke Mountain, the thick smoke blanketing the city in darkness for days on end. There were

dark days ahead for the fire department as well. On Aug. 5, 1920, most of Port Coquitlam’s business district was destroyed by fire that swept through the area in less than two hours. The blaze actually started in the fire hall itself, in a faulty chimney flume, and spread so quickly the firemen were barely able to roll the fire truck out to safety before the hall was lost, along with many of the buildings on Dewdney Trunk Road. The department suffered a further blow when its La France truck had to be sold to the Vancouver Fire Department after the fire. The fortunes of the volunteer department changed in 1940 when John Galer was appointed volunteer fire chief. The Galer family has always been instrumental in the history and development of Port Coquitlam. John’s father, Roger Galer, served as mayor from 1925 to 1945 during some tough economic times, and in 1921 founded Port Coquitlam Transfer, later to become PoCo Building Supplies, the city’s oldest business. The fire hall was then located right beside the family business off Shaughnessy Street and John, his wife Nettie and family lived in the fire hall for years.
Above, Firefighters with the Port Coquitlam Volunteer Fire Department (crest is shown at left) pose with their fire truck in a photo from 1951. In a 2007 interview for PoCo Heritage, John recalls racing out the door with most of his employees when the siren sounded, one of the many being Sam Waddell, who worked for PoCo Transfer for 35 years and was a volunteer as well. John and neighbour Albert Osborne usually drove the fire truck, an upgraded La France model that he and Harry Hammond had driven from Owen Sound, Ont. in 1949. A group photo taken in 1951 has Chief Galer and his volunteer brigade assembled at the fire hall posing beside their truck. Some may remember Bill Battistoni, who owned Batty’s Shoes, and Ian Clerihue, whose father Mel ran the government liquor store, and Jim Boileau, whose family operated Boileau’s Barber Shop. PoCo’s pioneer families were well-represented by Roy Routley and the Wingrove boys: Art,

Bill and Maurice. Bill Wingrove became the city’s first paid fire chief in 1964, and Jim Boileau and Gordon Routley would later attain that position before retiring. Over the years, much has changed for the fire department, including its name: It’s now known as Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services. Its motto is to protect the lives and property of our citizens from the adverse effects of fire, sudden medical emergencies and exposure to dangerous conditions or disasters created by humans or nature. It is an organization that we as citizens can be proud of. Firefighters and other emergency services workers are our Guardian Angels. Your History is a column in which, once a month, representatives of the Tri-Cities’ three heritage groups writes about local history. Bryan Ness is with the Port Coquitlam Heritage Society.

Have you been a victim of frauds and scams, identity theft, telemarketing scams? Or do you know someone who has? Identity theft — effectively electronic pick-pocketing — costs Canadians $150 million a year and 20 million hours to resolve. Often it takes years to restore your financial identity. But there is a local group trying to raise awareness of this issue so Tri-City residents, particularly older adults, aren’t fleeced. North Fraser Chapter CARP (A New Vision of Aging for Canada) and the BC Centre for Elder Advocacy Support are presenting “Protect Yourself !” a financial literacy workshop. It will be held Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. in the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, 633 Poirier Street Coquitlam, Room 2 on the upper floor. The workshop will provide an opportunity to learn about common scams targeting seniors, identity theft, strategies to protect personal information, and the National Do Not Call list. The workshop will also provide information to protect your finances, recognize and respond to financial abuse, access community resources for further information, and make financial decisions that meet your needs. The public is welcome to attend at no cost. Light refreshments will be served. To assure your place or for further information, contact Bruce Bird at 778-284-1189 or carpnorthfraserchapter@gmail.com.

Some perspective on Colony Farm plan www.tricitynews.com
Tri-City News Friday, October 7, 2011, A31
GREEN SCENE Elaine Golds A little history of the park – and planning – is useful in forming an opinion today
C
olony Farm has been a topic in the news recently, including in a number of letters to the editor of this newspaper. I am pleased this wonderful oasis of green in the Tri-Cities conjures up such passion from the people who value this regional park as a place to experience nature, hike on its trails or grow vegetables in its rich soils. But not all the comments made about Colony Farm have been completely accurate; in particular, there appears to be some misunderstanding about the Land Use Plan for Colony Farm. The 1995 Land Use Plan for Colony Farm was developed over an 18-month period from 1993 to ’95 without the knowledge the farm would become a park. This plan, based on extensive public consultation, enshrined three values for Colony Farm: its rich agricultural soils; marvellous opportunities for walking, wildlife viewing and cycling along its dikes; plus the valuable wildlife habitat contained in its fields, hedgerows and drainage channels. Significantly, this plan envisioned a place where these values would complement rather than conflict with one another. The farm was seen as a setting where stewardship would be encouraged and opportunities provided to enhance public awareness and nature appreciation. The steering committee, on which I sat representing the Burke Mountain Naturalists, had no idea the land would become a new regional park. Thus, we recommended Colony Farm be managed as a non-profit land trust, with the proceeds from agriculture used to support other activities. When Colony Farm became a regional park in 1996, the need for such a land trust
HILARY MAGUIRE PHOTO
The tall grass meadows on the Port Coquitlam side of Colony Farm provide rich wildlife habitat for great blue herons, owls, raptors, many songbirds and wild bumblebees. \ was eliminated but the land use plan became the framework under which the Greater Vancouver Regional District (now Metro Vancouver) was to manage the lands. Although most, but not all, of Colony Farm Regional Park lies within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), it comprises only 259 hectares of a total 1412 hectares of ALR land in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. Overall, Metro Vancouver has 60,940 hectares of land protected within the ALR, which includes land in other regional parks. Colony Farm’s land use plan designates its fields for one of three uses: agriculture, wildlife habitat or integrated management. The designated agricultural fields lie entirely on the Coquitlam side of the river while the wildlife and integrated fields are
mostly on the Port Coquitlam side, in accordance with public’s wishes to protect the valuable wildlife habitat found on the PoCo side of the Coquitlam River. The wildlife designation especially protects the so-called “old field habitat,” a type of habitat that is now exceedingly rare in the Lower Mainland. These tall grass meadows support many birds, including short-eared owls, barn owls and great blue herons — all species at risk. In addition, such meadows also provide important nesting habitat for wild bumblebees, which are important pollinators for many crops. The value of the old field habitat in these designated fields is augmented by hedgerows where berry producing native shrubs attract a diverse mix of songbirds. The purpose of the integrated fields des-
ignated under the Land Use Plan is to also ensure continued biodiversity and species abundance while investigating the ways in which some types of agriculture — hay fields, for example — could be compatible with such wildlife use. This September, the Metro Vancouver Board released a draft sustainability plan for Colony Farm, with public consultation planned for later this year or early in 2012. Some aspects of this plan have raised concerns with the Burke Mountain Naturalists. For example, a proposed commercial berry farm of several hectares would attract bears to Colony Farm and, thus, create a potential hazard for cyclists and hikers on the trails. In addition, a monoculture of berries would also attract starlings, a non-native and aggressive bird likely to usurp habitat from native songbirds. Opposition to this particular proposal has led to the misunderstanding that the Naturalists are opposed all forms of agriculture at Colony Farm. In fact, the Burke Mountain Naturalists strongly support an expansion of community or allotment-type garden plots at Colony Farm where residents from all over Metro Vancouver could grow food. Given that a growing proportion of people will be living in condominiums in the future, access to a plot of land for growing food is a beneficial service that can be provided at Colony Farm. One thing should be clear, however: With its exceptional wildlife habitat, approximately 200 species of birds, including several at risk, and more than 8 km of trails, Colony Farm is far more than just an agricultural park. Hopefully, the upcoming public consultation on the sustainability plan will foster fruitful discussions, stimulate public involvement and allow members of the public, in partnership with Metro Vancouver, to achieve the full potential of what was envisioned in the 1995 land use plan. Elaine Golds is a Port Moody environmentalist who is vice-president of Burke Mountain Naturalists, chair of the Colony Farm Park Association and past president of the PoMo Ecological Society.

Dr. Riley Senft started his run across Canada to raise money for prostate cancer research at the northernmost point of Newfoundland Labrador. He ran through the TriCities Wednesday, Oct. 5.
In Terry’s footsteps By Jessica Young BLACK PRESS
R
unning across Canada: for many of us, Terry Fox is the first name that comes to mind. Before he died of cancer in 1981, Fox made himself a legend by taking on the challenge of running across country to raise awareness and money for cancer research. He lasted 143 days and 5,373 kilometres on the road. Now meet Dr. Riley Senft who is in the midst of attempting that same unimaginable feat — using two legs to conquer Canada and cancer. “Terry Fox was an incredible person. He essentially said, ‘What is the
hardest thing for me to do? Run? Okay then I’ll run across Canada,’” Riley says in an email interview when he was resting in Wawa, Ontario in preparation for his journey along Lake Superior’s rugged shoreline. “Terry had one leg, he had cancer, and he didn’t have access to the GPS or social media or any of the other technology that has evolved since he ran that I have access to and yet he managed to capture the heart of our nation and leave an incredible legacy. I don’t have cancer, I have two legs, I have a bigger support vehicle, and I still find this a huge challenge.” see BLISTERS, S S, page g A34 3

2011 Blisters come with the territory on cross-Canada run continued from page A33
People run marathons all the time. And the 42.195 kilometres to cross the finish line is viewed as a huge test to how far the body and mind can be pushed. Riley is over halfway through his run across Canada and is clocking roughly 60 kilometres a day, well over one marathon every 24 hours. His body is being beaten and the pavement gives no mercy. “I still have blisters all over my feet and I have given up on the idea that I’ll ever be blister-free during this run. I’ve learned how to minimize them as much as possible but in the beginning I found myself in hospital in Antigonish, Nova Scotia because of infected blisters that had me off my feet for two days. My legs have gotten used to the mileage but I had hamstring and calf issues in the beginning that I had to see physiologists for along the way. The recent heat wave was brutal and I was drinking over 10 litres of fluid a day.” But despite the grind, Riley says it’s all worth it to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer. His charity is called Step into Action and his goal is to raise $1 million during his run. “I’m doing this because I’m tired of prostate cancer having such a large impact in my life and I want to raise prostate cancer awareness so that men know when they should be getting checked and so that they don’t fear the digital rectal exam because it’s not a big deal at all.
MICHAEL DOWNIE PHOTO
Dr. Riley Senft stretches before his run. “My grandfather died of prostate cancer, my father currently has prostate cancer, a number of close family friends have prostate cancer, and odds are either myself or my brother will get prostate cancer. I hate prostate cancer and this is my way of going to war against it.” His heart was and is
in the right place, but when Riley’s father Rod first heard of what his son wanted to do, it was a shock. “It was the sheer enormity of it,” says Rod in an interview at the Outlook’s office. “He was in the worst shape of his life. He was three and a half years into his medical residency living in Winnipeg. In

winter you don’t get the chance to go out and train.” Riley may have been in the worst shape of his life when he started his run this past May, but his family knew that no matter what the circumstances were, if Riley said he was going to run across the country, that was exactly what he was going to do. “When he sets his mind to a goal, I’m confident he will achieve it,” says his proud father, who raised his family on the North Shore, a place he still calls home. “When I first heard about it, I thought he was nuts. It’s an ambitious thing to do. Of course you worry,” sister Lauren chimes in. Riley and his brother Derek are no strangers to tackling Canada from

Gardening and spooky fun this month at Place Maillardville Place Maillardville in Coquitlam is offering the following low-cost programs for families this fall, including one with a Halloween theme: • Edible Landscape: Fall and Winter Planting, Saturdays, 1 to 2 p.m.
Drug ed. info at series of Share sessions Share Family and Community Services’ alcohol and drug program is hosting a dropin education series. 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 upcoming sessions are outlined below: • 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. All sessions take place on Wednesdays, 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Share, second floor, 2615 Clarke St., Port Moody. For more information, phone 604936-3900.

Do you want garden ablaze with foliage? IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter
T
he foliage colour of our garden ornamentals should be simply outstanding every fall. While many gardens will be ablaze with a foliage bonanza, many others are missing this important seasonal event. It is so easy to choose flowering and ornamental trees that bloom in the spring but with a little care you can, at the same time, select trees that provide a beautiful fall display as well. Dogwoods are a prime example. ‘Florida’ dogwoods, native to the eastern United States, provide outstanding fall colour. As a rule of thumb, they are shorter and bushier than our natives, making them ideal for screening. The most popular ‘Florida’ is the ‘Rubra’ or ‘Pink Dogwood’. Its masses of dark-pink blossoms in May of each year are a welcome sight. The variety ‘Rainbow’ displays a profusion of rich tri-coloured leaves that provide some of the most spectacular fall colour. Few sights are as beautiful in autumn as sunshine illuminating these leaves. The many varieties of ‘Kousa’ or Chinese dogwoods extend the blooming period in the spring because they bloom in June and July, when other varieties have finished. They also tolerate quite a bit of shade, which may be of interest for those of you living in heavily treed areas. Their fall leaves are a brilliant, vibrant red with huge edible seed pods hanging like giant raspberries throughout the tree. It is such an interesting plant to have in the garden, and I truly hope that more folks use them. There are many new varieties, some with stunning variegated foliage that also turns amazing colours. Japanese maples certainly lead the pack in the outstanding colour department. The only problem these days is making a choice between the many fine varieties. One of the finest, ‘Acer griseum’, often called the ‘Paper Bark’ maple because of its arbutus-like peeling red bark, has brilliant red foliage. The ‘Coral Bark’ maple ‘Sango Kaku’ is considered to be one of the most outstanding of all maples. The autumn colour range of red maples is everything from deep burgundy to the most vibrant fire engine red, but don’t overlook the green-leafed varieties, like ‘Osakazuki’, that also offer an incredible range of fall colours. Another unique tree that has not been readily available until the past few years is the ‘Persian Parrotia’. It is a small and rather slowgrowing shrub that provides a beautiful display of dense-headed flowers with red stamens surrounded by woolly brown bracts before the leaves open. In fall, the filbert-type leaves turn
brilliant scarlet to orange. When the leaves disappear, it reveals quite an interesting smooth grey winter bark that flakes to show intriguing white patches. One of the most fascinating fall trees is the Japanese stewartia. It is a summer bloomer that often carries right on into the fall. The flowers are truly distinctive, starting off as little round white balls that burst open like a camellia, revealing bright yellow anthers. That’s why it is often referred to as a pseudo-camellia. Those white flowers, combined with foliage that first turns scarlet, then bronze and finally purple, make this tree a wonderful fall specimen. If you’re looking for a colourful tree that is quite resistant to pests, how about the ‘Katsura’ tree or ‘Cercidiphyllum japonicum’. It is a medium-sized tree with attractive round leaves that have a purple tint on their outer rim all summer long. The unusual shape of the leaves and the beautiful yellow to scarlet fall colours certainly make it a great garden plant, especially at this time of year. Its leaves also have a sweet scent of lightly burnt sugar. There is only one tiny problem – it doesn’t hold its fall colour very long. One of my favourite small trees is the little known and unfortunately, seldom planted ‘Sourwood’ tree. Oxydendrum arboreum has multitudes of long creamy white flowers in drooping racemes that add lots of colour to a July and August garden. Almost immediately after flowering, the long narrow leaves turn a brilliant scarlet and last well into the fall. It’s a beautiful smaller tree for sunny or shady locations. Every garden should have at least one ‘Burning Bush’, and if you only have a small garden, there is a compact form now available. The ‘Euonymus alata’ has dense twiggy branches with interesting corky wings, making it very attractive in winter, but its small deep green leaves turn brilliant orange-red in fall along with hundreds of tiny orange-red fruits. These plants also make a nice deciduous hedge. ‘Enkianthus’ has, perhaps, one of the most attractive fall colours of any flowering shrub. It looks somewhat like a small-leafed rhododendron with red Pieris japonica-like flowers in spring. Its tiny leaves turn brilliant red for the longest time each fall, making it a super addition to any autumn garden. These are a few of the more unique and beautiful plants that deserve a spot in any garden, not only for fall, but also for interesting year round contributions. Fall is one of the very best times to plant, so why not add at least one of these hardy plants to your garden collection for an autumn show. A sunny location and well drained soil creates the best scenario for vibrant fall colour.

“I do know this. They have 12 or 14 players who’ve been with them three years. They’re good players to begin with but they’re even better when they have that much time to gel.” Cats GM Ron Luniw
QUICK CAT
Port Moody Black Panthers goalie Nick Taylor lunges across the goal crease in an attempt to stop a Grandview Steelers player from scoring during a PIJHL game last Saturday in PoMo. The Cats host the 4-0 Richmond Sockeyes tomorrow, 7:45 p.m. JENNIFER GAUTHIER THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Huge test Sat. for Black Cats Richmond Sockeyes visit PoMo after racking up first four wins by a staggering 31-0 aggregate By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Eight nothing, 6-0, 10-0 and 7-0. Looking at the Richmond Sockeyes’ numbers after four games, the opposition can hardly feel bold about their chances against a stacked squad that’s off to the most dynamic start to the Pacific International Hockey League season in years. Next up, the Por t Moody Black Panthers. The surging Sockeyes visit PoMo Rec Complex on Saturday, 7:45 p.m., for what’s expected to be an incredible challenge for the spry, young Cats, who, with two wins and two overtime losses thus far, can hardly be considered pushovers. “No, I haven’t seen [the Sockeyes] play yet but I know quite a bit about them,”
said Black Panthers general manager Ron Luniw. “I do know this. They have 12 or 14 players who’ve been with them for three years. They’re good players to begin with but they’re even better when they have that much time to gel.” Granted, the Sockeyes’ four convincing victories have come against teams that are either struggling to find talent or are rebuilding from the ground up. Richmond beat the lowly Mission Icebreakers twice, the new-look North Vancouver Wolf Pack and the floundering Ridge Meadows Flames, who have lost all five of their games to date and have been out-scored by a staggering 34-4 count. While Luniw lost two key players to the Junior ‘A’ ranks with Brandon Milln’s departure to Saskatchewan and defenceman Ryan Panichelli’s graduation to the BCHL’s Nanaimo Clippers, the Sockeyes
seem to be able to keep most of their top guns year after year. “They have so many players on that hockey club who’ve gone on to Junior ‘A’ but come back,” Luniw said. “I don’t know how they do it but somehow they do.”
JOHANSEN STICKS IN NHL
Port Moody’s Ryan Johansen made the final cut with the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets and is expected to be in their lineup tonight (Friday) when they host the Nashville Predators in their regular-season opener. The Jackets have nine games to determine if Johansen will stick with the club or be sent back to his major junior unit, the Portland Winterhawks. “His camp is still going on,” said Blue Jackets head coach Scott Arniel. “He’s been OK. I think there’s more to come [from him]. He’s still learning the game.”
New Fox hoop boss By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Steve Hanson has some big sneakers to fill. Well, small ones, actually. Hanson is taking over the Terry Fox Ravens reputable senior boys high school basketball program, replacing the diminutive, dynamic head coach Rich Chambers, who has moved on to guide the University of Victoria Vikes women’s hoop team. A Port Moody resident, Chambers had been at Fox since 1993. The 37-year-old Hanson is a Fox grad of 1992, the same year Steve Nash of St. Michael’s University steered his Victoria squad to the provincial championship. “We have a pretty veteran group, even though we lost some key players,” said Hanson, who coached the Fox junior boys team the last two years. “We have 12 guys back and should be able to rotate them all regularly. Our strength is going to be our depth.”

Profound words from first lady of fly fishing TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz Learn from others & yourself “It is ironic that fishing is one of America’s top participant sports, and fly fishermen are at the top of the heap, intellectually, yet our language and understanding of what makes fly casting work are at first-grade level. “We are long overdue in articulating the mechanics of our sport so that the average fly fisherman can derive maximum benefit from a casting language, written or spoken. “Lee Wulff came into my life 30 years after I started to use a fly rod. What he did for me was to broaden the scope and my understanding of fly casting. In order to encompass the completely different styleof
casting he practices, I had to analyze the mechanics more deeply than ever in order to know what made his style work. Lee challenged me all the way. He is an instinctive caster and his style developed naturally to suit stream fishing conditions.” The words of Joan Wulff, the celebrated first lady of fly fishing, from her book Joan Wulff’s Fly Casting Techniques. To achieve greater success fishing, like any endeavor, we need to study the successful others and blend what works for them with what already works for us.

In Div. 1 play, a lastditch dash down the sidelines by Tanner Elgear was ruled out
of bounds just inches shy of the try line and time elapsed as United dropped a two-pointer to Langley. Greg Doucette staked United to a 12-10 margin after some hard-nosed first-half work by centres Orisi Vukivana and Kieren O’Connell.
DIV. 3 CLASH
I n D iv. 3 a c t i o n , United failed in its bid for three straight wins to start the season, dropping a 38-19 count to Capilano. Nick Vukelic and Scott Aikens scored tries in vain for United, who got fine kicking by fullback Tim Phillips and standof f Ken Prosser. Meanwhile, United’s U-19 unit got a try from prop Moreno Burak off a dish-off by flanker Blake Chernoff but it wasn’t nearly enough in a 22-5 loss to Bayside from South Surrey. The loss dipped United to 2-1 on the season.

JENNIFER GAUTHIER THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Win 12-10, lose 12-10. That was Saturday for the Coquitlam-based United Rugby Club. Right after the United Div. 2 men’s squad tripped Langley 12-10, its Div. 1 contingent fell by the identical count to same club at New Wesminster’s Hume Park. Winger Jesse Davies and standoff Andrew F lood scored a try apiece as United’s Div. 2 team held off Langley down the stretch, after Jeremy Jakobze was ejected for too many infractions. United coach Simon Quinto utilized some tactical substitutions as his team warded off their opponents to secure its third win of the season, holding Langley scoreless the final 15 minutes while playing shorthanded.
