Wet roads, cold weather? Ease off the gas pedal Posted speed limit ideal – for dry roads By Phil Melnychuk BLACK PRESS

So you have a nice, new SUV with electronic stability control and four-wheel drive and ABS and all that. Ready for the snow and rain, right? Yes and no, say ICBC and the Justice Institute of BC. While new vehicles (as of September) are all equipped with stability control — computer systems that can spinouts or skids — no technology can make up for stupid driving or recognize and correct for all road conditions. “It’s not a magic solution,” said Justice Institute driving instructor Norm Prosch. “It’s not magic and it’s not going to replace common sense and driving according to the conditions.

‘I want to empower you’ By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Robbie Waisman had plenty of stories to tell about death and atrocities. But what he wanted to talk about most was love. For an hour Wednesday at Coquitlam Alliance Church, the retired Vancouver businessman and Holocaust survivor shared his story with School District 43 high school students, telling them to appreciate their families and guard against hatred. see WAISMAN, page A13

Hungrier than ever Food bank use is still on rise locally By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Hung er continues to stalk the Tri-Cities as the Christmas season approaches with no appreciable drop in food bank use since the recession. In fact, 29.8% more people are using the local food bank now compared to three years ago and many of those individuals come from the ranks of the unemployed, the disabled and wage earners. The biggest increase was 23.5% from 2009 to 2010, with a fur-

swered the call for more food to meet the demand and are dropping off food or contributing to donation bins at grocery stores. But Share has only two weeks of stockpiled food compared to two months stored on shelves at this time in 2008/’09 and, with the holiday season approaching, Scott expects the need will be even greater. “Christmas is just a really challenging time. The rest of the year, families manage to get by but at Christmastime, the strain is too much,” Scott said. She predicts that as many as 1,800 families will sign up for food hampers — more than double the number of

families Share typically sees every two weeks. According to the most recent statistics, Share saw a 31% increase in the demand for food between 2008/2009 and 2010/2011, with 8,634 people using the food bank last year, compared to 6,594 three years previous. There has been no noticeable decline since, although there are month-to-month fluctuations. “This year, what we’re seeing is some weeks we’re 5% down, other weeks are 5% up. Right now, it’s safe to say the numbers are staying quite consistent,” Scott said. see ALMOST OS 100K, 00K, page g A4

CUPE backing 24 on Nov. 19 By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The union representing city and school board staff in the Tri-Cities is endorsing 24 candidates running for office in the Nov. 19 civic elections. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) yesterday released its list of endorsements, covering Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Anmore (there is no election in Belcarra as all candidates were acclaimed). In Coquitlam, CUPE is supporting Coun. Barrie Lynch for mayor as well as councillors Neal Nicholson and Selina Robinson plus challengers Randy Delmonico, Craig Hodge, Fred Soofi and Vincent Wu for council; the union is also backing incumbents Gail Alty, Diane Sowden and Gerri Wallis for the School District 43 board of education. In Port Coquitlam, the union is not backing anyone for mayor but is throwing its support behind incumbent council candidates Glenn Pollock and Brad West plus challengers Jamie Arden, Chris Carr and Dean Washington; it’s also backing Bob Lee for one of PoCo’s two school trustee jobs. In Port Moody, CUPE is supporting Coun. Mike Clay for mayor plus, for council, Coun. Bob Elliott and challengers Rick Glumac, Barbara Junker, Sylvia Richardson, Zoe Royer and Robert Vagramov (there is no election for school board as both incumbents were acclaimed).

Mayoral candidates Barrie Lynch (left), in Coquitlam, and Mike Clay, in Port Moody, have the backing of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. And, in Anmore, CUPE is recommending to its members incumbent Heather Anderson for mayor. Many of the those candidates also have received endorsements from other union organizations. Last month, the New Westminster and District Labour Council endorsed, in Coquitlam, Lynch, Delmonico, Nicholson, Robinson, Soofi and Wu; in PoCo, Mayor Greg Moore plus councillors Pollock, West and Darrell Penner; and in PoMo, Glumac, Junker and Kevin Hagglund. For school trustee, it also backed Brian Robinson in Coquitlam. Tri-City union presidents Ken Landgraff (Local 386, which represents Coquitlam civic

employees), Dave Ginter (Local 561, SD43 employees), Cheryl Rutledge (Local 498, PoCo city workers) and Bill Blackwood (Local 825, PoMo city workers) were at the CUPE national convention in Vancouver and were not available for comment by press time yesterday. But Bruce Richardson, vice-president of the SD43 CUPE local said candidates who are considered for endorsement tend to have a “socialminded agenda.” He also said some receive financial donations while others prefer just to be on the poll card sent out to the 5,000 CUPE members who live in the Tri-Cities. “We’re not telling our members who to vote for,” he said. “It’s just, this is the list of approved candidates from your labour action party.” Coquitlam Coun. Brent Asmundson, who garnered CUPE approval for his 2002, 2005 and 2008 campaigns, won’t be on this year’s card — likely, he said, because he was the only labourbacked politician on council not to support Coun. Nicholson’s notice of motion to bring Coquitlam’s garbage pick-up service in-house. The loss of the CUPE endorsement “is a disappointment but my belief is that I do what’s best for the citizens of Coquitlam,” Asmundson said. Asmundson, who received $2,000 from CUPE in the 2008 civic race, said he has support from the Coquitlam firefighters’ union. As well, the Coast Mountain Bus Company bus driver expects to be backed from CAW Local 111, of

In Moody, they’re in agreement By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody voters have their work cut out for them in choosing between candidates in the Nov. 19 election judging by the similarity of issues and approaches offered by those vying for a spot on city council. The well-attended meeting held by the TriCities Chamber of Commerce at Inlet Theatre on Tuesday saw agreement on most major issues: traffic, Evergreen Line development and taxes. All 21 candidates who turned out gave a brief speech and a picture quickly emerged that they want control over development around the Evergreen Line and revitalization of Moody Centre, a reduction in traffic congestion, especially along the Murray Clarke corridor, and fair taxes. But questions from the audience showed a

broader array of themes and issues, and once again candidates showed they agreed more than they differed. On the issue of affordable housing, nine of the candidates suggested building laneway and carriage housing as a way to make housing cheaper for the impoverished while a few said the issue is complicated by various levels of government and the market. “This is an expensive place to live whether you like it or not. It is a reality,” said council candidate Robert Vagramov. Coun. Mike Clay, a mayoral hopeful, and Coun. Diana Dilworth, who’s running for reelection, said council has made affordable housing a priority by regulating and encouraging secondary suites and putting funds toward a housing reserve while Gerry Nuttall, another council incumbent, expressed concern his own

children couldn’t afford to live in Port Moody. Mayoralty candidate Robert Simons said the province needs to come to the table, not just municipalities. “It requires a broader perspective,” he said. Meanwhile, car-free apartments were proposed by candidate Rebecca Helps, a Green Party executive director, who said developments along the Evergreen Line would be cheaper if parking didn’t need to be provided. On the issue of bringing the BC Ambulance service to PoMo, all agreed it was a necessity, and candidates also said they supported a municipal auditor and greater say by business owners in municipal affairs, either through a vote or other means, and no one was in favour of highrise development on the IGA property on Ioco Road. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

which he’s a member. Four-term SD43 PoCo trustee John Keryluk said he didn’t know until The Tri-City News called that he wasn’t CUPE endorsed this year — his first time campaigning without labour support. “Of course, it’s not good,” he said, adding, “I have been around for quite a while and I have been supportive of CUPE for years. I’m hoping the people will still vote for me.” Brian Robinson, a Coquitlam school trustee for 12 years who also didn’t know about the lack of CUPE endorsement when contacted by The News, said he isn’t bothered he didn’t make the list, though he didn’t apply to be on it as he had in other years. “I’m surprised but I’ll just carry on,” Robinson said. “People know me from my community work and as city councillor. I’m not planning to put up signs or hand out brochures. I just run on my name and record.” Meanwhile, the Coquitlam and PoCo firefighters’ unions also unveiled their lists of endorsed candidates. In Coquitlam, they are: incumbents Richard Stewart for mayor and Asmundson, Nicholson, Doug Macdonell, Mae Reid, Linda Reimer, Selina Robinson and Lou Sekora for council along with council challengers Delmonico and Hodge. Pollock and West also have firefighters’ endorsements in PoCo while, in Port Moody, the firefighters’ union has yet to release its list. jwarren@tricitynews.com

POMO NO-SHOWS

One Port Moody mayoralty candidate, Katie Kickbush, failed to get her message to voters at Tuesday’s all-candidates meeting because she arrived at the theatre late, then left without taking part. “It was literally five [minutes] before seven [p.m.] and they had already started,” Kickbush said yesterday. “I feel horrible about it,” she said, noting she plans to be early for the meetings Thursday and Sunday in PoMo. Council candidate Sylvia Richards also didn’t attend the meeting. But they have two more chances to woo voters: The Moody Centre Community Association was to host an all-candidates meeting Thursday, after The Tri-City News’’ print deadline, and the Pleasantside Community Association is hosting an all-candidates meeting Sunday at 7 p.m. at Old Orchard Hall.

Coq. fills gaps in bike route By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam transportation staff are putting together plans to fill several gaps in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crosstown bicycle route, a 17-km trail that connects new neighbourhoods in the northeast with the southwest area and Lougheed SkyTrain Station. Currently, 60% of the bike route uses existing paths and cycling lanes, but staff said over the next few years the city will allocate funding to add lanes and connections that will make the route safer and improve the riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first step is to get the plan in place,â&#x20AC;? said Catherine Mohoruk, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of transportation planning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we will get those into the capital plan. My hope is that it will be looked at over the next five years.â&#x20AC;? Seven sections of the route require additional analysis, she added. Depending on the area staff will look at the feasibility of adding bike lanes to existing roads, improving traffic signals and signage and the addition of multi-use pathways. The planning work is expected to begin in the new year and Mohoruk said an outline of what needs to be done to complete the crosstown bike route could be presented to council by the summer. If the work is included in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital plan, she said, funding would be allocated on an annual basis and work would be complete as the money came available. The route is important, she added, because it fits in with a larger, regional cycling network, connecting Coquitlam with the rest of Metro Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the desire is there to connect northeast Coquitlam all the way across the city to Burnaby and points beyond,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are cyclists that do that and you want to have those connections in place to provide choice.â&#x20AC;?

ROUTE IMPROVEMENTS

â&#x20AC;˘ Guildford Way/Pinetree intersection: Designs for a cycle route transition is required from the multi-use pathway to the bike lane. â&#x20AC;˘ Johnson Street (Guildford Way to Barnet Highway): A design is required for a multiuse pathway along the west side of the street. â&#x20AC;˘ Mariner Way (Barnet Highway to the Coquitlam bus loop): Planning is required to determine the feasibility of putting a bike route through this segment. â&#x20AC;˘ Dewdney Trunk Road (Mariner Way to Ranch Park Way): More analysis is required to determine the feasibility of bike lanes for this portion of the route. â&#x20AC;˘ Spuraway Ave./Mariner Way intersection: A transition from multi-use pathway to bike lane is required. â&#x20AC;˘ Thermal Dr. Extension through Hillcrest middle school property: Finalizing right-ofway documents with School District 43 to use paved path through Hillcrest school property. â&#x20AC;˘ Austin Ave. at Whiting Way to Lougheed Town Centre: Planning is required to find a connection to the SkyTrain station.

Setting it straight A story in the Oct. 28 edition of The Tri-City Newss erroneously reported that CUPE Local 498 pulled out of the New Westminster District Labour Council in 2008. In actual fact it was Cupe Local 561 that severed ties with the council.

Swim club wants new pool but PoCo says there’s no $$$ By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’s aging Centennial Pool is in desperate need of an upgrade and the PoCo Marlins have several ideas for what a new facility should look like. The swim club took it upon itself to hire a design firm to put together renderings for a new outdoor pool at Aggie Park, plans that include a separated 10-lane lap pool, a dive tank and leisure area complete with waterslides and a lazy river. Rick Sieb, the ways and means director for the Marlins, said both the club and the city would like to see a destination facility that would attract people from beyond the immediate neighbourhood. “Instead of kids being dropped off for an hourlong public swim, they want families coming to spend the day,” he said. “We want a destination facility.” An improved pool would attract larger tournaments and championship swim meets, which Sieb said would have economic spinoffs for the city. On average, more than 1,000 people turn up to the larger events, he said, spending money at restaurants and hotels. Sieb added that a larger outdoor pool would also increase use of the pool, which would help cover the costs of operating the facility. It is no coincidence that the timing for the pool announcement has come in the middle of the civic election campaign. Sieb said candidates running for mayor and council should take a good look at the plans and state whether they support allocating funding for an improved facility. “We want to get some exposure on this plan,” he said. “Some of the existing councillors have seen it and support it. Some of the people running have seen it and support it.” But it could be several years before the plans and renderings put forward by the Marlins are turned into reality, according Barry Becker, the city’s manager of parks and recreation. Currently, there is no money available in the five-year capital plan to replace Centennial Pool, which was built in 1958. He said the city is considering budgeting for a study on the future of outdoor pools, which would look at the costs of facility upgrades and replacement. “There is a need to start to look for what

The city also has to consider how much money it wishes to spend on a facility that is only open for four months a year, he added. Becker has seen the pool plans put forward

by the PoCo Marlins and said the preliminary concepts of a destination facility do match a model used by successful municipal outdoor pools in other Lower Mainland cities.

Check smoke alarms

Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services personnel are reminding homeowners to check their smoke detectors when they set their clocks back for daylight savings time this weekend. Working smoke detectors increase the chance of surviving a house fire by 50% and the daylight savings time changes each fall and spring are a good reminder to inspect, clean and change the batteries on the devices. According to 2009 statistics, dead batteries in smoke alarms were found in 56 house fires in B.C. that caused 11 injuries and more than $2.3 million in property damage. At another 1,366 house fires the residents had no smoke alarms at all. This contributed to the deaths of four people, 58 injuries and more than $66 million in property damage.

Smoke alarms should be installed outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. In order to maintain a smoke alarm residents should: • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance; • Test all smoke alarms each week by pressing the test button until the alarm sounds; • Change the batteries twice a year (at each daylight savings time); • Vacuum the inside using the softbrush attachment to remove dust from the sensors; For more information about smoke alarms go to www.portcoquitlam.ca/ fire or contact the Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services department at fire@portcoquitlam.ca or 604-9275466.

Man convicted in sex assault By Sheila Reynolds BLACK PRESS

A Surrey man has been found guilty of breaking into a 12-year-old Coquitlam girl’s bedroom and sexually assaulting her two years ago. Antonio Eduardo Daponte was convicted in New Westminster Supreme Court on Tuesday (Nov. 1). The 45-year-old was charged with aggravated sexual assault and breaking and entering in connection to the May 2009 attack in the Tri-Cities.

There is a court imposed publication ban on anything that would identify the victim. At the time of the incident, police believed Daponte snuck into the girl’s room in the early morning hours, assaulted her and fled through a window when she screamed. The crime put the community on edge as the RCMP initially didn’t know whether the attack was random. After his arrest, it was determined the suspect was known to the victim’s family. Daponte is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 12.

Q WHAT WE THINK:

umbers of homeless people are down but food bank use is up dramatically. What should politicians and policy makers do with this information? Past experience has found that nothing will change unless people make a big stink. No one did anything about reducing homelessness in the Tri-Cities until numbers climbed above 200 and people were camping in the bush, cars and empty buildings. Now, fewer people are homeless but people are using the food banks more — and it’s not just people on welfare. More unemployed, disabled and even people with jobs are lining up for a bag of groceries to get through the month. If you think this is an untenable situation for a relatively affluent suburb like the Tri-Cities, perhaps you should make a stink and ask what your civic candidates would do to make housing more affordable in the Tri-Cities.

Occupy groups strike a chord in the middle AS I SEE IT Bill Phillips Decline of the middle class in North America one factor in protests

he Occupy movement spreading across the world has been nothing less than incredible. Politicians often like to refer to “grassroots” movements or support when they get out to a party barbecue and rub shoulders with a farmer. This, however, has truly been a grassroots movement. It was borne out of ordinary people who, to paraphrase Peter Finch in the movie Network, are “mad as hell.” What are they mad at? The great divide. The old cliché of the rich getting richer and

the poor getting poorer. With everything seeming to move at exponential rates these days, the gulf between the haves and havenots seems to be widening. It’s ironic that Canadians talk about the unbounded economic opportunities provided the burgeoning middle class in the world’s two most populous countries — China and India — while at the same time eroding our own middle class. Yes, we need the rich elite in the world to build our society. But real prosperity and political stability come from having a solid middle class. The U.S. led the world after the Second World War because it built a solid middle class. China and India are now looking to supplant the U.S. at the top of the heap on the strength of their middle classes. It’s a lesson we somehow haven’t learned. If there is a message from the Occupy movements is that more and more people, rightly or wrongly, believe governments aren’t working on their behalf but on the

IN QUOTES

“Yes, we need the rich elite in the world to build our society. But real prosperity and political stability come from having a solid middle class.” Bill Phillips behalf of big business. Here in B.C., we need to only look at the 10 years of the Gordon Campbell BC Liberal government, which quite obviously felt its duty was to the corporate world first and its citizenry second. When governments lose touch with their citizens or, more aptly, when the citizens feel alienated from their ruling class, revolutions are spawned. It’s interesting to see the Occupy move-

ments move into Canada, though. We in Canada, due to banking laws that were put in place long before Stephen Harper emerged on the scene — though he’ll take credit for them — have not been as hard by the financial crisis as many other parts of the world. The anger in the U.S. must be palpable after seeing those who were largely responsible for the financial crisis being looked to as the funding vehicle for recovery — the now-famous 1%. With more of us on the brink of poverty, it’s hard to take excess thrown in your face. Hence the movement. Will the Occupy movements change much? Probably not, and certainly not immediately. But while some political leaders sneer at them, astute ones will take heed. There is an appetite for a change and those willing to deliver it will be held in higher favour.

FACE TO FACE: Is the Stephen Harper Conservative government anti-labour?

Good economic policy on strikes I

’m pleased to see the Conservative government putting our nation’s economic interests ahead of the demands of a relatively few disgruntled union workers. The Stephen Harper government introduced back-to-work legislation when customer service and sales staff at Air Canada walked out in June but the two sides reached a deal before Ottawa could pass the measure into law. That same month, the House of Commons passed a bill ordering 48,000 Canada Post employees back to work. Earlier this month, the government threatened back-towork legislation for Air Canada’s flight attendants before both parties agreed to go to binding arbitration. New Democrats and their union backers have predictably cried foul accusing the Harper government for attacking labour rights and for waging a war against unions. Rhetoric aside, the legislation is sound public policy. We have just come through the largest world-wide economic slowdown since the Depression and are now teetering on a double-dip recession. A prolonged work stoppage at either Air Canada or Canada Post would hurt our economic recovery — those are the facts. It’s important to keep in mind that Canada Post and Air Canada aren’t two rinky-dink unionized

shops in Smalltown, Canada. These are two of our country’s largest companies and their services affect almost every sector of the economy. Despite new technologies, Canada Post still processes 11 billion pieces of mail a year and is the only company that is able to deliver to every address in Canada. Small businesses, charities, rural and elderly correspondents, in particular, remain dependent on snail mail. The Canada Post dispute, which effectively shut down the country’s postal system, cost the company approximately $167 million. And that’s only the direct impact; it doesn’t take into account the hardship faced by the thousands of Canadian businesses affected by the lockout. Air Canada is this country’s largest airline, with 23,000 employees serving 31 million passengers a year, flying to 58 scheduled Canadian destinations. According to one consultant, a strike lasting more than a couple of days would cost the airline about $11.7 million a day in operating revenues and $1.2 million in operating profit. These back-to-work measures were not and are not about attacking unions or tuning back the clock on labour rights. They’re about protecting our fragile economic recovery, plain and simple.

s Canada’s Conservative government anti-labour? Are a frog’s ears waterproof ? Not only are Stephen Harper’s Conservatives anti–labour, they are openly and proudly so, anti–labour and disdainful of collective bargaining rights. Having first kicked the tires of their new majority government by aligning Canada’s foreign policy with that of the U.S., Prime Minister Harper’s Tories are now further emulating their southern mentors by getting tough with Canadian labour. Lisa Raitt, minister of labour, is responsible for this, the antilabour square of the Tory political sudoku, and she’s perfect for the job. She’s new to politics, perky and female (thus more conciliatory, of course). Her mother is a union member and her father a former union negotiator. Wow, she must really be objective. It doesn’t get any better than that. But the veneer of objectivity with which Ms. Raitt began has dissolved, revealing the Tory, antilabour pressboard beneath. Ms. Raitt’s opening gambit was to legislate postal workers back to work with an imposed wage increase even less than the employer offered. Far from being a prudent referee in a tough dispute, she

publicly supported the company against the workers. Next, Ms. Raitt tackled Air Canada ticket agents, whom she threatened with back-to-work legislation after only a few days on strike and no flight interruptions — again, openly taking an antiworker stance. She then set her sights on Air Canada’s flight attendants, whose dispute she referred to the Labour Relations Board before they even had a chance to paint a picket sign. Perhaps interim Liberal leader Bob Rae best described Raitt’s anti-worker interventions when he said: “When the only thing in your toolbox is a sledgehammer, everything starts to look like a rock.” The fact that Prime Minister Harper has a labour minister willing to trample collective bargaining rights in private labour disputes shows just how anti-labour his Tory government is. But beyond the Conservatives’ open anti-worker bias in labour disputes, nothing says anti-labour like seven successive years of cutting corporate taxes. Give money to the rich guys, blame the resulting loss of revenue on the poor guys. Cut poor guys’ salaries and jobs to replace the money given to rich guys. Repeat to tolerance.

Thaw in chilly talks to keep RCMP ‘Nobody threatening anybody,’ says Fassbender By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

A deal may be close in talks between B.C. and the federal government to keep the RCMP as the police force for most cities — including Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, the municipal observer in the negotiations, said the tone of federal representatives has become more co-operative and conciliatory, adding “significant” progress was made this week. “Nobody is threatening anybody at the moment,” he said after returning from negotiations in Ottawa. “I am more optimistic than I’ve been that we’ll get there.” Federal officials told B.C. in September to sign a new 20-year RCMP contract by the end of this month or else they’d begin withdrawing the Mounties in 2014. That ultimatum prompted B.C. to start work on a “plan B” to map out what would it would take to launch a replacement force. Fassbender said a final deal isn’t likely by the end-of-month deadline but added a framework may be ready and he doubts Ottawa would “pull the trigger” and act on its threat if that’s the case. “I can’t see the federal government using a calendar date as the breaking point if we’re moving ahead and close to a deal.” The agreement, if concluded, will be a 20-year contract with an option every five years for any party to reopen discussions on any aspect of it, he said. Any city or province will be able to opt out of the RCMP on two years notice, he said. Ottawa hasn’t budged on B.C.’s demands for a more generous cost-sharing formula, which currently sees large cities pay 90% of local RCMP costs, while smaller ones shoulder 70%. But Fassbender be-

force since disbanding it in 1950 in favour of the RCMP. SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said B.C. should press forward – even if there is a deal – to explore the potential to set up regional police forces in Metro Vancouver and Victoria to replace the current mish-mash of municipal police forces and RCMP detachments in those areas. “B.C. needs to proceed straight away to seriously look at the alternatives,” he said, adding that should take the form of a task force or blue-ribbon review. Advocates like Gordon maintain a regional force would be better equipped to bust gangs and other criminals who don’t care

about civic borders. Gordon said civic leaders like Fassbender seem too focused on the cost of the RCMP without considering the efficiency gains from switching to a regional force. “He’s still very much in favour of the RCMP because he can’t see a viable alternative,” Gordon said. “The municipal concerns are very parochial, focused very much on financing. There’s no talk of efficiency along with the costs.” There are 11 RCMP detachments in the Lower Mainland, including Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver and Surrey. Seven cities are policed by municipal forces. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Waisman: ‘Death was a constant companion’ continued from front page

“You have a family that is very precious,” Waisman told the students gathered for the fourth annual Symposium on the Holocaust, organized by social justice teacher Ken Ipe. Urging the students to eliminate bullying that is so “destructive,” Waisman said talking about his personal ordeal is still painful but necessary so future generations know and understand went on in Europe over 70 years ago. “It’s not my intention to sadden you,” he said. “On the contrary, I want to empower you.” Students who bused in from high schools across the district hung on his every word and watched a documentary by CBC’s The Journal about his reunion with his American liberator. Waisman was freed from the Buchenwald concentration camp on April 11, 1945, the day he now considers his birthday. He was 14. “Death was a constant companion... I have no words to describe,” Waisman said. Instead, he talked about his loving family and how they treated him like “the baby,” letting him get away with bad behaviour occasionally because he was the youngest of six children. He recalled listening to his father read books on the Sabbath at home in Skarszysko, Poland and spending time with friends. But all that ended in September 1939 when the Germans invaded and his “life and security stopped abruptly.” When the Nazis be g an rounding up Jews for transportation to concentration camps, 12-year-old Waisman was smuggled into a work camp with his brother, Abraham. He would stencil initials on anti-aircraft shells for 12 hours a day and see his father briefly on Sundays. He had no idea what happened to his mother. “How did she know I would be safer with my brother?” he a s k s, re m e m b e r i n g her promise that they would be reunited and saying, “I had no reason to doubt her.” He learned later she was sent to Treblinka and gassed. The loss and separation didn’t end there. His brother was shot after he got sick with

He was Jewish and if you couldn’t work and be useful, you were condemned to die.” His father became weaker after losing his older son and Waisman recalls being ang ry for it. “I wanted his strength but it wasn’t there.”

When his father didn’ t show up for work a few days later, Waisman was devastated and couldn’t get a ny a n swe r s ab o u t his father’s disappearance. “I speculate now what happened to my father.” Did he throw himself a g ainst an electric fence, fall sick or simply die of a broken heart, he asked the students. “I don’t know. I have more questions then answers.” In 1944, as the Ru s s i a n s we r e a d vancing, 13-year-old Waisman was transported by cattle car to Buchenwald concentration camp, where he spent the remainder of the war. He was among 426 Buchenwald Boys who were taken to an or phanage and told they couldn’t be rehabilitated and would never have nor mal feelings. But Waisman said he now counts Nobel Peace prize writers, prominent rabbis, doctors, lawyers and businessmen among his acquaintances from that period, and said, “The resilience of the

human spirit is fantastic.” And he remembers the day American soldiers walked into the camp and set them free. Waisman saw an African-American man — the first black man he had ever seen— and thought the soldier was an angel. Forty years later, Waisman and Leon Bass were reunited. Waisman told the students that it’s important to remember the Holocaust and that by doing so, he is honouring the 1.5 million Jewish children who died. And he warned them against complacency, and told them to love one another and their families. “Don’t take it for granted. And give your little brother and sister and your parents a hug for me.” • T he symposium was co-sponsored b y t h e Va n c o u v e r Holocaust Education Centre.

“If you’re going too fast, that’s where the rubber meets the road, right there.” To make their point, ICBC and the Justice Institute set up a demonstration recently at the BC Driving Centre at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport. Members of the media climbed into a new Ford Escape SUV, gunned it down a straight away to a series of traffic cones, then had to make sharp, evasive turns based on lastminute signals. Piles of boxes went flying — as in the TV show Canada’s Worst Driver — if the vehicle couldn’t stay in the lane, adding to some effect when media drivers screwed up. To make their point, organizers of the event flooded the track to simulate driving in the rain. Prosch said a difference of 10 km/h can make the difference between losing control and staying in control on a wet surface if evasive moves are needed. For instance, it may be possible to make a sud-

And often, if drivers are able to avoid a person or object, such as a cyclist or pedestrian darting into traffic, the difficult part is moving back into the lane safely. “Posted speed limits are ideal for dry roads,” added Alex Lee, ICBC’s manager of road safety

programs. Driving is more than just the road, said Lee. “It’s the road and the darkness. Just change the frame of mind is the important thing.” “Many drivers don’t realize that when they drive too fast for the road conditions, their risk of crashing increases significantly,” said Fiona Temple,

What a crowd: seven billion and counting GREEN SCENE Elaine Golds Growth of pop. has many impacts

f there is any significance in celebrating events with zeros in them, then the human race has just passed a big milestone. Statisticians estimate that as of Oct. 31, the planet now officially supports seven billion of us. It’s questionable whether this merits a celebration or is more a time for thoughtful concern. While it took us approximately 100,000 years to reach our first billion in 1804, it was only 12 years ago that we reached the six billion mark. As David Suzuki has often pointed out, the petri dish in a laboratory that is half full of bacteria is only one synchronized cell division (i.e., a mere moment of time) away from reaching full capacity. When will Earth reach its capacity for people? Some scientists think we have already reached that point while others suggest we could support a population of nine to 10 billion as long as we learn to man-

JOHN FOXX/THINKSTOCK

“If everyone on the planet could live Canadians’ lifestyle, would there still be ample food to sustain us and sufficient water for agriculture and other human uses?” asks columnist Elaine Golds. age our resources more wisely. There is some optimism for thinking population growth will slow considerably in the near future. As nations become more developed, as the certainty grows that children will survive to adulthood and as women become educated and are allowed to control the number of children they have, population growth does diminish. Assuming a reproductive rate of 2.1

children per couple is needed for replacement, several developed nations, including Canada, are already somewhat below the replacement rate. This is encouraging. One big problem is that most people can still only dream of living lives as comfortable as that of the average Canadian. If everyone on the planet could live our lifestyle, would there still be ample food to sustain us and suffi-

cient water for agriculture and other human uses? Would there be an adequate supply of rare earth metals if seven billion people had cell phones, laptop computers and TV sets? And if everyone did have these gadgets, could we generate enough electricity to keep them all running as well as homes comfortably warm (or cool, as the need may be)? Sadly, the answer to at least some of these questions is probably

no. For example, it is estimated that if we need to produce enough food to feed several billion more people, we would have to switch to a mostly vegetarian diet, avoid wasting the huge portion of food that we now do and eliminate inefficient irrigation practices. How would you feel about eating more peanut butter sandwiches and bruised apples but fewer steaks? And consider, for a moment, the 30 million

or more other species with which we share this planet. Surely they deserve a little space? Scientists can calculate the annual net primary productivity (NPP) of photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants, phytoplankton, etc., capture energy from the sun and on which all life on Earth ultimately depends. They estimate humans now use at least 30% of land-based NPP for food crops and pastures. That’s a big piece of the pie for only a single species and doesn’t leave much photosynthetic capacity for all the other remaining terrestrial animals that also need to eat to survive. In fact, we rely on other species for a wide number of so-called ecosystem services. One third of the food we eat comes courtesy of pollination services provided by insects, birds and bats. We are also utterly dependent on a host of other small animals, bacteria and fungi that recycle waste into fertile soil. If truth be told, we really should be giving a little more land back to nature. The ability of our planet to support an ever growing number of people is now being further challenged by the impacts of global warming caused mainly by

fossil fuel combustion. Changes in weather patterns have led to crop failures in areas where semi-arid land appears to be converting into desert. In other parts of the world, excessive rainfall is eroding productive farmland. Even small shifts in weather patterns, such as wetter springs, can delay the planting of crops and reduce production levels. Several years ago, Williams Rees at UBC introduced the concept of an ecological footprint — the amount of land we require to meet all our needs based on how consumptive our lifestyles are (www. footprintnetwork.org). Sadly, if everyone on Earth were to live like Canadians, we would already require about four planets to sustain us. If we really want to achieve a fair and just world, it seems we need to do a little proverbial belt-tightening to reduce our demands. A shrinking population would make meeting that challenge just a little easier.

Something fishy at naturalists’ meeting Tuesday Nooksack dace, a small but highly endangered fish. The guest speaker will be Mike Pearson, who has spent much of his career as a biologist identifying where these small fish are found. Pearson will describe the remaining four streams in B.C. that provide critical habitat for the Nooksack dace. One of these is the Brunette

River, which flows along the eastern boundary of Coquitlam for a short distance before it discharges into the Fraser River. Habitat for the dace continues to be threatened by urban development, agricultural practices and degradation of water quality from pollution, according to a BMN press release. The

fate of the Nooksack dace became an issue in an important court case in 2009, when it was ruled the federal government had failed to meet is obligations under Canada’s Species at Risk Act to identify critical habitat for the endangered dace. This ruling was greeted as a significant victory which has implications

You can help members of the Tri-City Amnesty International group light candles of hope for prisoners of conscience in Burma at a Nov. 15 human rights dinner at Pasta Polo in Coquitlam. Last year, Bur ma (also known as Myanmar) held elections and handed over power to a civilian administration after 50 years of brutally repressive military rule, according to a Tri-City Amnesty press release, which noted the government has, for decades, detained political activists solely for peacefully exercising their rights to freedom of expression, assembly and association. The 2011 human rights dinner includes a buffet dinner, music by Tony Prophet and a n i n t ro d u c t i o n t o Amnesty International and human rights in Burma. There will be petitions to sign, draws to enter and plenty of opportunity to meet and mingle. As well, most guests will receive a handmade candle holder, created and donated by members of the TriCity Potters, who created them as a tribute to Amnesty’s message of shining a light into the darkest corners of the world. “We hear over and over again the difference it made to a prisoner’s life when prison guards, judges, the president of their country received letters from Amnesty International members,” says Nancy Fur ness of Port Coquitlam, an Amnesty member. “The candle symbolizes our efforts to make sure no one is allowed to torture, to mistreat and to imprison people with impunity.” The Human Rights Dinner takes place Tuesday, Nov. 15 from

BOOKS PLUS: What’s happening in libraries

Tooth health and e-readers Books Plus runs in The Tri-City News each Friday to highlight programs and happenings in the TriCities’ three libraries: Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

COQUITLAM

• Caring for your Child’s Teeth: From 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the City Centre Branch on Nov. 8 or 22, Glen Dental Centre’s Dr. Ashnaei will discuss different aspects of modern dentistry, with a focus on children and young adults. This free program is for adults only and registration is required as space is limited. Phone 604-937-4155 to reserve your seat. • Teen reading club: More interested in books than programs? You can write reviews and join online discussions with some of your favourite authors in the online teen reading club (www.teenrc.ca). For more information about any of these programs, visit www.library.coquitlam.bc.ca. The City Centre branch is located at 3000 Burlington Dr. and the Poirier branch at 575 Poirier St.

TERRY FOX (POCO)

Remember all those stories, rhymes and songs you loved as a child? Visit the library and enjoy stories, fingerplays, and action songs that entertain and delight kids and parents: • Discover the pleasure of reading with your baby and meet other new parents at Babytime (for infants up to 12 months) on Wednesdays, Nov. 16 to Dec. 7, 10:15 to 10:40 a.m. Registration has begun. • Enjoy engaging stories that entertain and delight in the More We Read Together Pre-school Storytime on Mondays, Nov. 14 to Dec. 5, 10:15 to 10:45 a.m. • Pull on your PJs and grab your favourite stuffed toy for Pyjama Storytime on the first Wednesday of each month, 6:45 to 7:15 p.m. For more information, visit www.fvrl.bc.ca or the Terry Fox Library Facebook page. Terry Fox Library is located 2470 Mary Hill Rd. in PoCo. Phone 604-927-7999.

PORT MOODY

• E-Readers arrive e at the Port Moody Library:

Join PMPL as librarians celebrate the arrival of he new e-reader collection at the Port Moody Library on Thursday, Nov. 10 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the ParkLane Room. Enjoy some refreshments and enter the draw to be one of the first 10 people to borrow a new Kobo Touch. Each reader comes loaded with 85 books ready to read. PMPL will also have a “Petting Zoo” where you can try out a variety of e-readers. For attendees that already own an e-reader, you will be shown how to download free e-books from the library’s website. No need to register, just drop in. • Night Readers Book Club: New members are welcome — drop in and share your insights on the selected book with other club members and learn about their reactions to the same titles. The Night Readers book discussion group meets the fourth Wednesday of each month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in PMPL’s ParkLane Room. At the next meeting on Nov. 23, the book discussed will be The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. The novel’s narrator is a dog named Enzo who has a clear goal: lead a good dog life so that next time around he will live life as a man. He knows this will happen because he saw a television program about reincarnation. He studies his person, Denny, closely and gives us his doggy perspective of Denny’s race car driving, marriage to Eve, birth of Zoe, Eve’s death and the subsequent custody battle for Zoe. • Pre-school storytime is growing time: Help your 18-month- to five-year-old child get ready to read with stories and songs. The earlier you expose a child to language, song and rhyme, the better. Storytime helps children to build vocabulary, develop fine and gross motor skills, develop social skills, learn how to participate in a group setting and form a positive, fun association with books and learning. Research shows that all these activities encourage healthy brain development. Visit the library on Thursdays from 10 to 10:30 a.m. in the storytelling circle for Pre-school Storytime. This program runs until Dec. 8.

For more information, visit library.portmoody.ca or call 604-469-4577. Port Moody Public Library is located at 100 Newport Dr., in the city hall complex.

YOUR HISTORY Jill Cook

TIES, BURNABY, NEW WESTMINSTER & RIDGE MEADOWS Sunday, Jan. 29, 2012 One in three Canadians knows someone with Alzheimer’s disease – who do you know?

ackin House Museum is called a museum but it is much more than that. It is first and foremost a heritage house. A heritage house serves some of the functions of a museum in that it collects and displays artifacts and, like a museum, it helps us interpret our history. But more than that, the actual building structure is part of our history. As a heritage house, the building is of significant historical value and most of the artifacts are selected and dedicated to interpreting the role and significance of the structure. Mackin House is staged to depict life in Maillardville from the early part of the 20th century (it was built in 1909 as a residence for the Fraser Mills sales manager) and the collection creates a view of life in Maillardville from that period. History breathes in this building. The artifacts and how they are displayed serve to tell us a story. Mackin House is filled with many special historical gems but as we approach Remembrance Day, there is one particular artifact that has a special and poignant significance. An unassuming beehive trunk sits at the foot of the bed in the master bedroom. It was built around 1910 and its proud owner was Alexander Windram. Mr. Windram was born in 1882 in Scotland. He was a fisherman and he moved to Canada in 1910. With his wife and young son, he journeyed by train from the East to settle in Maillardville. What attracted him to this location was the possibility of land and employment. His trunk would have travelled with him and would have brought the treasured family possessions. The trunk is stamped with the ini-

Mr. Windram was employed as a millwright’s helper at Fraser Mills. On Feb. 2, 1916, he enlisted with the 131st New Westminster Battalion to fight in what then-U.S. president Woodrow Wilson called “the war to end all wars.” The trunk can’t tell us what motivated a young father with a good job at the mill to do this; we can only assume it was pride, love of country and a sense of duty. Certainly,

he wasn’t the only mill worker to answer the call. We can only be grateful that he was among those who did. He trained in Vernon and, during that time, he wrote to his daughter, Elsie: “We are passing through cold places now and always further away from you all. Now little girl, it will be a long time before I see you again but I hope you’ll be a good girl and don’t forget your daddie.” He arrived in England on Nov. 11, 1916. On April 9, 1917, he died fighting at Vimy Ridge. He left to mourn him his wife and three children. He was 35.

His trunk provides us with a tangible way to remember. It reminds us that war is not an abstraction. It invites us to think about family loss and sacrifice in a very personal way. Mackin House is privileged to have this small piece of local history that tells its story year after year. You are invited to visit Mackin House and discover how personal history can be.

BBB offers safe child care tips

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is advising parents to take plenty of time to find safe, reliable child care that suits their child and schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working parents need to know that their children are safe and secure,â&#x20AC;? Lynda Pasacreta, BBB president and CEO, said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding good day care can be time-consuming, but the BBB has tips that can make the job a little easier.â&#x20AC;? Parents need to determine first what kind of care they need: full- or part-time, in-home or facility-based. Consider the location in relation to your home and work, the hours, cost and educational opportunities for your child. Recommendations from family or friends can be helpful, says BBB, and government agencies or industry organizations also can be a source of information. The B.C. Child Care Resource and Referral Program helps parents

find child care and provides information on child care subsidies. But it is ultimately up to parents to find care that is appropriate for their children. Parents need to take time to visit facilities, ask about the staff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training and experience, and find out how the centre handles medical emergencies. Children may be spending a large part of their waking hours in a day care setting, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to find out what kinds of education or stimulation may be offered to help your child develop. The BBB has the following tips for parents seeking quality child care: â&#x20AC;˘ Visit several facilities or caregivers and find out how staff are selected and what their credentials are. What is the staf f-to-child ratio? How are children grouped (i.e. by age or stage of development)? â&#x20AC;˘ Ask whether the facility is and whether it

carries appropriate liability insurance. The Ministry of Health is responsible for licensing child care facilities in B.C. and the day-to-day monitoring and inspection duties are carried out by the local Health Authority community care licensing staff. â&#x20AC;˘ Ask about safety procedures and how an accident might be handled. What will happen if your child is hurt or becomes ill while at the centre? Will you be called or notified before you arrive to pick up your child? â&#x20AC;˘ Ask about fees and payment deadlines. Is a deposit required, and is it refundable? Are fees charged if a parent is late picking up a child? Are there extra charges for any activities? Are meals and transportation offered? Is financial assistance available? To access further information on programs, contact the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development Child Care line at 1-888-338-6622.

Lower Mainland still recording higher housing starts

Sales still strong despite HST repeal What does the repeal of the harmonized sales tax mean for homebuyers? Will the industry grind to a halt while people wait for the end of “the Hated Sales Tax”? Not according to Cristy Edmonds, VicePresident of Marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing, who has noticed a huge jump in sales at Barber Creek Development’s Edgewater in South Surrey. “People are still moving forward,” she says. “For homes under $525,000, the difference between PST and HST is so minimal.” In fact, people who wait to buy a home under $525,000 will only save two per cent. “Are you going to put off (the purchase) to save two per cent? No,” Edmonds says. “We have done over 100 sales since the HST died,” she says. “Now is the time to buy.”

The harmonized sales tax was voted down by a referendum in August. At the time of the referendum, Greater Vancouver Homebuilders’ Association CEO Peter Simpson was concerned about the effect that the removal of the HST would have on home sales and renovation projects, saying that this would lower revenue for contractors. This has proven true in some areas. According to Simpson, builders in smaller centres like Kelowna who build two or three large homes a year are having trouble selling because consumers aren’t sure if they should wait to buy until the HST goes away. “The Lower Mainland is the only region in B.C. that is recording higher housing starts,” Simpson says. “Every other area is going the other way.”

‘There are no bad views’

Celadon an impressive sight in Coquitlam by Kerry Vital

The community of Windsor Gate in Coquitlam will soon welcome its newest addition, Celadon by Polygon Homes. The 27-storey tower is just minutes from Coquitlam Centre, and will feature exterior details such as custom metal grillwork and brick cladding. The architecture is inspired by the distinctive style of Frank Lloyd Wright, with sleek expanses of glass and an over-height lobby that will feature a beautiful stained glass panel that is currently on display in the presentation centre. Surrounded by the early phases of the community, you won’t have to go far to find everything you could possibly need. Past developments at Windsor Gate include Larkin House, Roycroft and Kensal Walk. “You get all the benefits of a masterplanned community,” says Polygon Vice-President of Marketing Goldie Alam. “It’s really feeling special here right now.” One of the most exciting things about Celadon is the huge amount of natural light that every suite will feature. It’s apparent from the show suite that the large windows and airy floorplans are tailor-made to harness every drop of sunlight, even in the sometimes-rainy Lower Mainland. Homeowners will never get tired of what is outside their window. “There are no bad views,” Alam says. You’ll be able to savour that view on your own private deck, standard in every home. The space is perfect for

It’s a quiet little enclave. I don’t think you can get the value anywhere else,” says Polygon Vice-President of Marketing Goldie Alam.

a morning cup of coffee or a relaxing afternoon with a good book. The high-quality finishings that Polyon is known for are sprinkled everywhere. From the natural imported marble countertops and backsplashes in the bathrooms to the sleek undercabinet lighting in the kitchens, no detail has been overlooked. Impressive gourmet kitchens include smooth stone countertops, flat-panel custom cabinetry and large-format

porcelain tile flooring. Stainless-steel appliances are standard in every home, and a full-height glass tile backsplash contributes to the feeling of modern elegance. Plush nylon carpeting is featured throughout the living areas, which perfectly fits with whichever one of the three available colour schemes you choose. The ceilings are over eight feet tall (eight feet in the kitchen), meaning you’ll never feel cramped or squashed in any room. Your ensuite bathroom is made for luxury, with a soaker tub standard in every home and oversized vanity mirrors lit by recessed lighting. The cabinets are built to appear to float above the floor, and are complemented by polished chrome hardware. Even the doors are spectacular, with sliding or swinging patio doors onto the balcony and a contemporary solid wood entrance door that is outfitted with polished chrome hardware. More than 40 of the 187 twobedroom homes were sold over the

Suites range from approximately 758 to 1,002 square feet. Residents at Celadon will have access to a meeting room, lounge and a fitness studio, as well as Windsor Gate’s amenities building, the Nakoma Club. This 18,000-square-foot building holds a gym, screening room and an outdoor pool, as well as a meeting room and a basketball court. A resident concierge will be on site and available to help with your every need.

At Windsor Gate, you are just minutes from all types of amenities, including shopping, schools, transit and restaurants, so you won’t need to venture far outside of the community. Owners will receive a year’s worth of one-zone transit passes when they purchase their home. “It’s the best location in Coquitlam,” Alam says. “It’s a quiet little enclave. I don’t think you can get the value anywhere else.” Homes at Celadon start at $324,900. For more information visit www.polyhomes.com/ community/celadon–apartments–coquitlam or call 604-552-7744.

Is happiness all it’s cracked up to be? Well... GUEST COLUMN

e live in times that are marked with social and economic uncertainty. There is also a growing recognition for many people in middle class North America that their comfortable, high-achieving lifestyle doesn’t always result in the happiness they imagined it would. There often comes a time when we ask ourselves “Is this all there is?” or “Am I happy?” We may not ask “How can I be happy?” exactly but may just experience a building uneasiness that spurs on to want to make changes in our lives because we want to enjoy it more, or feel better, or are less tired, anxious or stressed What if it turned out that in searching for that elusive happiness you’re looking for the wrong thing in all the wrong ways? In his book The Happiness Trap, Dr. Russ Harris suggests the very beliefs you have about happiness may be what is actually making you miserable. What is happiness? Aristotle said happiness was the only thing that man wanted for which he could give no

good reason. A simple definition of happiness is feeling good — enjoying life and feeling wonderful — whereas unhappiness is feeling bad and wishing things were different. Is it normal or even possible to be happy all the time? Mental health statistics would suggest otherwise: The Canadian Mental Health Association reports that one out of five Canadians will personally experience a mental illness in their lifetime. The World Health Organization ranks depression as the leading cause of disability worldwide. Almost one out of every two people will go through a period in their life when they consider suicide and one in 10 people will actually attempt to kill themselves. Around 20% of the world’s children and adolescents plus 30% of adults are estimated to have mental disorders. Just think for a minute about what these figures mean, that of all the people you know, almost half of them will at some point be so unhappy that they will seriously think about suicide — and one in 10 will attempt it.

Part of the problem may be that when we strive to be happy all of the time, we will inevitably fail because emotions by their very nature are fleeting. Feelings come and go, often like waves that wash over us, but they never last, which is a good thing when it comes to the not so pleasant ones. So then why can’t we at least be happy more often? Why does happiness seem to be difficult for people to find? Perhaps it is because we are constantly focusing on what we are lacking rather than what we have. We worry about whether people like us or if we are doing the right thing or if we did something wrong or if something terrible is about to happen. We are constantly comparing ourselves to others and feeling we don’t measure up. We may evaluate and or criticize ourselves as not being good enough or not having enough or even not being happy enough. It is really not surprising that we are often left feeling dissatisfied and depressed instead of happy. But while feelings like sadness, anxiety and anger are

an inevitable part of life, these emotions do not necessarily have to overwhelm us to the point where we feel we no longer are in control. Although it is impossible to avoid pain in life, we can learn how to weaken its grasp on us, reduce the number of times it occurs and the amount of time it hangs around. It is very possible to learn to handle

pain and uncomfortable emotions in a way such that they do not have as great of an impact or influence on our lives. The ultimate question is how? First is to learn how you tend get stuck in an endless cycle of worry and grief. You need to understand this process first in order to get unstuck and prevent yourself from falling into the trap in the future.

The next step is learning how to change your relationship with painful thoughts and feelings so that they will be less devastating, time-consuming and

soul-crushing. This then clears the way for you to be able to stop and enjoy the moment, here and now, with your family. see CREATE,, page g A41

At this point, you can then pursue a totally different type of happiness. Happiness can also mean living a meaningful, productive life. When we take action based on our values, in directions we consider worthy and purposeful, we experience powerful feelings of a life well lived. This can be a more attainable and lasting type of happiness. Stop chasing momentary happy thoughts and feelings, and instead choose to spend your time and energy creating a rich and meaningful life that is fulfilling, satisfying and long lasting.

Heavy rainfalls have taken their toll on many garden annuals and perennials. They will make great compost but removing them will leave your garden looking rather bare. Winter colour plants, set out now, will add new life and provide much needed colour to your winterscape. Strategically planting winter colour in groups with contrasting blocks of bright colours, like yellow with more pastel shades, creates the most pleasing effect. Groupings of hardy ‘Red Bor’ and ‘Winter Bor’ kale, winter heather, violas, pansies and bright evergreen foliaged perennials, placed here and there in your garden and close to your walkways, will give a tremendous lift to your winter garden. It is still the ideal time to plant your fall bulbs. Plant them in well-drained soil at a depth of three times the diameter of the bulb. Plant bulbs in groupings for the most pleasing effect. With proper planning, you can time your bulbs to bloom in sequence from January through June. I’m a big fan of botanical or species bulbs that naturalize easily and come back each year with an even more impressive display. Make sure you have at least a few alliums for a great summer show in eight months time. It’s the last call for lifting and protecting summer bulbs. Gladiola corms and begonia tubers should have been lifted by now and they must be kept warm at about 15°C. It is also the time to lift dahlia and canna tubers.

VEGETABLE GARDENS

Many late vegetables can stay in the garden for winter harvesting. These include turnips, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard and the new series of winter vegetables. If you do not have proper vegetable storage, you can place a thick mulch of bark over your root crops and leave them in the ground as long as possible. Fall is a great time to add existing compost to your garden and there is still time to plant Garden Rejuvenation Mix for invaluable green manure in the spring. Speaking of compost, make sure you

take full advantage of all the leaves, old annuals and vegetable stems by composting them over the winter. You might also wish to add more sand to your vegetable garden to improve the drainage next year. Applying lime is important now too, except of course where you are going to grow potatoes.

LAWNS

Cut your lawns quite low (1 inch) one more time to allow more air circulation in and around the root systems. This can prevent many disease problems. To prevent moss from taking over your lawn, maintain a high level of nutrients by applying a controlled-release, high nitrogen fertilizer, something like Scott’s Turfbuilder Wintercare 30-0-9 and by applying prilled lime at the rate of 10 kilograms per 2000 square feet to prevent acidic soil. It is too late now to seed new lawns, but aerating and sanding now would sure make a huge difference.

TREES & SHRUBS

Now is the best time to plant most evergreens, fruit trees and shade trees. They are becoming dormant and, once planted, they will immediately form new roots. By spring, they will have well established root systems. Some points to remember: The quality of the soil in which you plant your new trees will determine how well your trees grow. Work in plenty of fine bark mulch to open up and provide good drainage in our heavy clay soils. If your trees are in burlap sacks, you should leave the sack on the rootball — it’s holding all those roots together! Bare-root trees can be safely planted now. They will make new roots, getting them off to a great start come spring. If you use a liquid starter, your trees will get a faster start. Evergreen hedges, planted now, will provide a good windbreak for cold winter winds, thereby helping to keep your fuel bill down. Hedges will also give you privacy and at the same time, beautify your home. So all things considered, an evergreen hedge is an excellent investment. Many fall flowering trees and shrubs can be planted now to provide winter beauty. These include viburnum ‘Pink Dawn’, autumn flowering cherries, Chinese witch hazel ornamental grasses, jasmine and the many varieties of berried plants to name just a few. It is critical that you begin organic dormant spraying with ‘Green Earth Lime Sulphur’ and ‘Dormant Oil’ in mid-November to control insects and diseases that overwinter in your trees. We are now entering a brand new season and it is so nice to have our lawns and gardens in shape for the coolest and wettest time of the year. The addition of winter colour is a pure bonus — one you will appreciate more and more as winter progresses.

Johansen a fit on wing with Jackets By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

“Yahoooo!” Randall Johansen’s text message earlier this week to a Tri-City News’ reporter summed it all up after he learned his son, Ryan, was being retained for what appears the rest of the NHL season by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Following a Tuesday practice, Port Moody product Ryan Johansen met with Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson and head coach Scott Arniel and got the information for

It was a true goal-scorer’s goal, unlike his first one that he banked in off Detroit goalie Ty Conklin from behind the Red Wings’ cage. Arniel credits Johansen’s recent improved play to his work ethic and being switched from centre to right wing. “I finally saw his offence,” Arniel said. “On the wing, so far it’s less thinking for him and a simpler game. Now we’re seeing some of the stuff we saw in junior hockey and it’s a good sign.”

Flanker Jordan Judd scored the winning try after winger Jesse Davies notched two earlier ones as Coquitlam-based United Rugby Club out-lasted Seattle 27-20 in a B.C. Rugby Union Div. 2 battle Saturday at Hume Park. C e n t re Re i d C l a rk h a d t h e other try for United, who led 12-10 at halftime, In Div. 1 action, United trailed 13-3 at halftime and lost 28-16 to a solid Seattle crew. Scrum half Peni Koroi scored a try for United, who otherwise relied on the dependable kicking of Nick Hammerschmidt. In U-18 women’s play Sunday, Hailey Kitsch-Best scored a try and booted both a penalty kick and a convert to lead United to victory over the Brit Lions. S h a e l y n n Zaur rini added another try for United, who got great offensive efforts from Lauren C r aw f o r d a n d Kelsey Cowie. D e f e n s i v e l y, United was led by Zoha Rashidi and Scatha Faddon. In a Tier 1 women’s contest, Bur naby Lake bolted to four tries in the first 20 minutes on way to a 36-12 triumph over United. Brittany Frietag and Erin Re gan scored a try apiece in a losing cause, while Candace Bar ry had a convert.

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SOCCER PLAYERS of the WEEK RASHID ZIAUDDIN

JULIA BENNING

RASHID ZIAUDDIN, of the Under 17 Dynamo, is a highly-skilled and well-rounded player. He is respected and well-liked by all his teammates and coaches. He leads by example with a strong work ethic and immeasurable dedication during games and practices. Rashid is also a versatile player, as he can play various positions, depending on the circumstances. As well, he is a tireless team player who is always seeking to improve his skill level. As a result, RASHID ZIAUDDIN fully deserves being selected as Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week!

The Under 14 Inferno defeated the North Shore Adrenaline by a narrow 1-0 margin this past weekend. Although all the Inferno girls played extremely well, it was JULIA BENNING who stood out the most with a fantastic midﬁeld performance. Julia won the majority of the 50/50 balls, kept possession when necessary, and distributed the ball brilliantly to her teammates throughout the contest. While constantly mindful of her defensive responsibilities, Julia also found opportunities to make attacking runs, culminating in a stunner of a shot from well outside the penalty area that resulted in the winning goal. For her amazing performance this past week, JULIA BENNING has been named Coquitlam Metro-Ford Female Player of the Week.

BOAZ JOSEPH/BLACK PRESS

Joel Pielak of the Coquitlam Cougars tries to shake a tackle by the North Surrey Hawks’ Justin Kular during a Peewee division minor football game in the driving rain Sunday at Bear Creek Park.

Vikes handle Longhorns

WILDCATS WIN

Max Kennedy ran for two touchdowns set up primarily by Nico DePaoli’s downfield dashes as the host Coquitlam Wildcats posted a big 14-8 victory over the Cloverdale Bobcats in a Peewee Division clash. DePaoli and Kennedy also rallied the Wildcats’ stingy defence, along with Edvin Colakovic, Chad Degau, Tre Peters a n d J. D. J o h n s o n . Coquitlam’s Matthew

Nitro tank runs low Midfielders Laura McIlveen and Kassi Coupal were standouts but their Port Moody Nitro dropped a tough 2-0 decision Sunday to the Vancouver United Roadrunners in a girls Under-17 Gold division soccer contest.

Hewa-Baddege came up with a huge defensive play late in the game when he dropped the Bobcats’ quarterback for a huge loss on third down. After that, Wildcats’ pivot Jamal Mensah smartly ran out the clock to preserve the win.

COUGS DO IT

Jev a u n J a c o b s e n scored his second major of the game with 1:30 remaining to carry the Coquitlam Cougars to a dramatic 14-12 victory over the North Surrey Hawks in another Peewee contest at Surrey’s Bear Creek Park.

Tyrese Reed sparked the Cougars’ defence with eight solo tackles, with Jacobsen adding seven and a sack. Eric Polan, Mitch Bye and Jaden Severy had four solos apiece. L i n e m e n M a rk u s Dyer, Halen Davies and Sam Neglia were all forces for the Cougars.

www.coquitlam.ca

Demarius Henderson ran for five touchdowns Sunday –– only two were called back on penalties. Still, it was plenty enough for his Coquitlam Vikings to snap their three-game losing slide and post a c o nv i n c i n g 3 0 - 1 6 win over the North Delta Longhorns in a Vancouver Mainland Football League Jr. Bantam game at soggy Kevin Chin Field. Brenden Dieno was also a force offensively for the Vikes, who wrapped up the regular season with a 5-4 record to secure a playoff spot. Maleek Womack and Elijah John led the Vikes’ defence with five solo tackles apiece, with plenty of support coming from Caleb Swain, Moe Hassain, Dade Motz, Nic Greene and Camron Doust.

The story of steelhead www.tricitynews.com

TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz Prize fish worth noting With the opening of steelhead on the Thompson River once again, I want to take this opportunity to dwell on these highly prized fish. The question is often asked: What is a steelhead? Let’s begin bylooking at James Stanley’s description in his book, Guide to becoming a Rainbow Master. “Salmo gairdneri, the rainbow’s first name, was penned in 1836 by J. Richardson, an early biologist-explorer… Salmo is the latin name for the salmon of the Atlantic, while the rainbow’s surname, gairdneri, is an attribute to Dr. Meredith Gairdneri, an early naturalist employed by the Hudson’s Bay Co.

The rainbow’s colour varies with habitat, size, and sexual conditions…” Over the years, anglers have distinguished these differing colourpatterns with different names. Darker stream fish are often called rainbow, brighter fish in small lakes are termed kamloops and the large, silvery migratory fish are referred to as steelhead.” As we have read, steelhead are simply a strain of large sea-going rainbow trout that have the same characteristics of all rainbows. Some would argue that they are distinctly different but time and science have proven this untrue. So closely related in appearance are thesesea-going fish to their resident fresh-water relatives that on the word of the good doctor, T. W. Lambert, it was believed for 50 years that no steelhead could pass Hell’s Gate. “It is hard to say how far the steelhead

may run up the Fraser probably at least as far as the Coquihalla… for up to this point there is nothing in the strength of the current to prevent; but above, in the Fraser Canyon, the tremendous difficulties of ascent may well stop progress. The steelhead has not developed the powerful tail and anal fin of the pacific salmon, which must be a great aid to it passing through such strong water for such immense distances.” More on this amazing fish next week.

THE REPORT

Fishing on our Lower Mainland lakes is good. For better success, try concentrating on the warmest part of the day with Coachman, American Coachman, Professor, Wooly Bugger, Micro Leach, Sixpack, Dragonfly Nymph, Halfback, Doc Spratley, Baggy Shrimp or Zulu. Fishing on our Interior lakes is fair to good.

Tri-City News Friday, November 4, 2011, A51

PM Gunners grab victory

Try Wooly Bugger, Micro Leach, Egg Sucking Leach, Pumpkinhead, Dragonfly Nymph, Halfback Nymph, 52 Buick, Doc Spratley, Green Spratley, Souboo or Baggy Shrimp. The Fraser Basin chum fishery is expected to be reopened by the end of the week. The Fraser River is fishing well for spring, and cutthroat. For spring try Popsicle, Big Black, Flat Black, Stonefly Nymph, Squamish Poacher or Eggo. For cutthroat try Eggo, Rolled Muddler, Tied Down Minnow, Mickey Finn, Stonefly Nymph or American Coachman. The Stave River is fair for coho and cutthroat. For coho try Christmas Tree, Rolled Muddler, olive Wooly Bugger, Bite Me or Coho Blue. The Vedder River is good for spring and coho. The Harrison River is good for spring, coho and spring.

Nima Ranji scored his team’s first goal then assisted on what proved the winner as the Port Moody Gunners gobbled up Surrey ACBC 3-1 in a Fraser Valley Soccer League men’s Premier Division contest Wednesday.

Kevin Comeau, on a diving header, and Dan Bordignon also tallied for the Gunners, who sit second at 4-2-2 to still-unbeaten PoCo FC at 7-1-0 in the 10-team standings. Brent Godin was solid in net for the winners.
