Prov. will raise gas tax 2¢ for Evergreen
From PoCo to the Big Apple: Fox makes his mark in Manhattan
By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
SUBMITTED PHOTO
An image of Port Coquitlam hometown hero Terry Fox was mounted on a billboard in New York City’s famed Times Square last week to promote the 18th annual Terry Fox Run in New York City. Run organizer Ken Ottenbreit said last Saturday’s 5 km event in Manhattan’s legendary Central Park “was a fabulous success” with a “record turnout and beautiful weather.” More than 2,500 participants collected about $200,000 for the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York; to date, the NYC Fox Run has brought in about $2 million for the facility. As for the billboard, Ottenbreit said: “It is actually a 40-by-40-foot video screen that showed the Terry Fox Run promo spot four or five times an hour (24/7) for three days in advance of our run. The promo spot was donated by Clear Channel Outdoor, the company that owns and operates the video screen.” In other Terry Fox news, the Fox will be inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame, it was announced this week. For more details, see article on page A16.
The provincial government has introduced legislation to raise gas taxes two cents a litre in Metro Vancouver to help fund TransLink’s expansion plan and build the Evergreen Line to the Tri-Cities. The increase, requested earlier this month by a majority vote of Metro mayors, would take effect next April and is expected to quickly pass with the support of the NDP. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said the province will then formalize its agreement with TransLink, issue a request for proposals for the Evergreen Line to three pre-qualified bidders and get shovels in the ground “as quickly as possible.” He was reluctant to promise a construction start by the end of 2011 but vowed it will be soon. The long-stalled $1.4-billion SkyTrain extension to Coquitlam was once sidelined by a decision to build the Canada Line first and had been derailed in recent years by a deadlock with the province on how to fund TransLink’s share. see LEKSTROM, KS O , page g A17 7
Limited interest in schools 3 incumbents get easy path to board By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Gonda golden in taekwondo at Pan Am Games See page A33
Only two non-incumbents are challenging for nine seats on the Tri-Cities’ board of education — and three trustees running for re-election have already been acclaimed — but that doesn’t mean people aren’t interested in how the school

district is governed, says the board chair. The Port Moody trustee and current board chair was one of three School District 43 board of education members who were acclaimed. The other two are fellow PoMo Trustee Keith Watkins and Anmore/Belcar ra
Trustee Holly Butterfield. While not having to run for re-election has its advantages, Hyndes says, “I’m happy not to have to spend any money” — it presents problems, too. “People don’t know what I stand for and what I’m running for,” she said. The lack of challengers

for school board also raises issues about accountability and democracy. Could it be that most people view school board as a caretaker level of government because most education decisions are made in Victoria? Some of the most contentious issues — including fund-
Dozens running for councils: A3, A4, A7 ing, class size and composition — are being played out now in the provincial arena or in contract negotiations between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association, and even the courts. see LACK OF, OF, page A4

Are you eligible to vote?
The nomination period for the Nov. 19 civic elections closed last Friday and now it’s time for Tri-City voters to make sure they’re ready to cast their ballots. A person is qualified to vote if he is a Canadian citizen, 18 years or older and has been a resident of B.C. for at least six months before election day; as well, he must have lived in the city where he will vote for at least 30 days before registering to vote. Voters in Coquitlam will select one mayor, eight councillors and four school trustees while in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, residents will each choose one mayor, six councillors and two school trustees. Voters can register at their polling station by providing two pieces of identification and signing a declaration assuring they are residents of the municipality where they are voting.

There are at least two tough races for mayors’ jobs in the Tri-Cities this fall. In Coquitlam, incumbent Richard Stewart faces off against colleague Barrie Lynch. In Port Moody, the top job is up for grabs, with Coun. Mike Clay and newcomers Robert Simons and Katie Kickbush competing. In Port Coquitlam, incumbent Greg Moore faces a onetime council candidate, William Issa (plus Patrick Alambets, who refuses to be interviewed about his campaign).

Lack of ‘hot-button’ issues: Hyndes continued from front page
But Hyndes contends there simply haven’t been that many hot-button issues to raise the ire of residents and prompt them to run. The promise of a middle school on Heritage Mountain and permanent busing until it’s in place eliminated one bone of contention, and the board’s policy on consulting for the district’s $260-million budget provides people with opportunities to be heard. “Usually, people that are running for school board have an agenda, have an issue for their own children or advocate for others,� Hyndes said, adding that District Parent Advisory Council hasn’t recently been the source of candidates it has been in the past. (Before being elected to the board, Hyndes was a DPAC president.) “The public may be a little complacent,� she said. “They see things are rolling along well and there’s nothing that’s piqued their interest.� In contrast with school board, dozens of people, many of them newcomers to civic politics, are running for spots on Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam city councils. Trustee Watkins said more people might be

running for council this time around because there are open seats (in PoMo, three councillors aren’t running for re-election) or because taxes cities levy directly affect people’s pocketbooks. School board is mostly about kids, he said, and that might limit the field. “It is sad that there’s not enough people that are interested,� he said, adding that he believes PoMo voters appreciate he’s been a strong voice on council opposing school closures and limits on school busing. In all, 16 challengers are running for eight spots on Coquitlam council, 17 hopefuls are eyeing the six spots in Port Coquitlam council and 20 are vying for one of six seats in PoMo. In School District 43, trustees are paid $27,530 to attend to school board business. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Acclaimed in Belcarra Belcarra’s mayor and councillors will not have to wait until election day to find out if they will retain their positions on council. No new candidates had come forward by Friday’s filing deadline for nominations, meaning Mayor Ralph Drew and councillors Bruce Drake, Jennifer Glover, Colin Richardson and Jamie Ross have all been acclaimed. This is not the first time all of the members of Belcarra’s council have been able to avoid the trouble of an election campaign. It has been close to a decade since anyone has challenged for a seat at the village’s decisionmaking table. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

And they’re off: 53 vie for seats on councils By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
They say they’re passionate about their cities, have their websites up and running and are logged onto Facebook and Twitter. They are the 53 candidates running for city council in Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam. Several have run in previous elections for mayor or council, a few have flown the flag in provincial and federal contests, and all say they will represent citizens in council chambers if they are elected. Nov. 19. In one of the most hotly contested elections in recent memory, there are three people running for mayor in Port Moody. Two-term councillor Mike Clay is seeking the top spot vacated by veteran Joe Trasolini. His challengers are Robert Simons, who last ran for council in 2008 and is on the city’s police board and economic development committee, and newcomer Katie Kickbush. With three spots vacated by Clay and councillors Meghan Lahti and Karen Rockwell, 20 people are running for one of six seats on Port Moody council, including three incumbents, Gerry Nuttall, Diana Dilworth
ELECTION INFO ONLINE You can find our election coverage under the Election tab at www.tricitynews.com. Also, for more civic election info, try visiting: www.civicvote.ca and tricityvotes.com. and Bob Elliott; three people who ran in the 2008 civic election (Rick Glumac, Shane Kennedy and Rosemary Small), former Green Party candidate Rebecca Helps, Kevin Hagglund, who ran as an NDP candidate in 2006, and Robert Vagramov, who lists his iPod playlist along with his qualifications for council. In Coquitlam, three-ter m councillor Barrie Lynch is facing off against incumbent Mayor Richard Stewart in what is expected to be another hotly contested race, and 16 people are running for eight seats on council. In the race for four school trustee positions in Coquitlam, Humera Ahsanullah is challenging incumbents Gail Alty, Brian Robinson, Diane Sowden and Gerri Wallis. This year, only 17 people are running for six council seats in Port Coquitlam compared to
23 in 2008, and two people are challenging incumbent Mayor Greg Moore. They are William Issa and Patrick Alambets; Issa ran for council in 2008, when Alambets ran for mayor (Alambets, who has run twice for mayor of PoCo, is again declining to be interviewed about his campaign). Incumbents John Keryluk and Judy Shirra are once again running for the two school trustee spots in PoCo, with Bob Lee challenging them for one of the seats. Meanwhile in Anmore, Coun. Mario Piamonte is challenging incumbent Heather Anderson and nine people are running for council. Anmore trustee Holly Butterfield is acclaimed, as are Port Moody trustees Melissa Hyndes and Keith Watkins (see related story, front page). dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Fake moustache, a wig & yelling netted thief $5,000 Halloween was still eight months away when a man wearing a fake moustache and a brown wig entered the Royal Bank on North Road and demanded a large sum of money last February. But this week, the Coquitlam RCMP announced its investigation has run out of leads and police are asking the public for assistance in identifying the suspect. “He is disguised but obviously you can see his face,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “The investigators have run out of leads and they want to ask the public if anybody out there knows anything.” The suspect is alleged to have

identification, the man slammed his hand on the counter and made the demand again. The suspect made off with more than $5,000. He is described as a Caucasian man, 5’6” to 5’8” tall, and wearing a black jacket, a fake brown moustache and a wig. Anyone with any information is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2011-4683.

Copter spraying seed at Colony Farm Helicopters have begun spraying a mixture of grass seed, mulch and fertilizer over a section of Colony Farm in Coquitlam as part of the Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project. The work started on Tuesday over a section of the park known as Wilson Farm and the planting is expected to minimize erosion and assist in re-establishing wildlife in the area.
A number of helicopter flights will take place during daytime hours over the next five days, depending on the weather, and park visitors are asked to watch for trail closures. The aerial application of the mixture is necessary in order for the process to be completed before the winter to provide the seeds with enough time to germinate.
Wilson Farm is an area of Colony Farm Regional Park that was farmed in the 1900s. It is important habitat for a variety of wildlife and is part of the Fraser River and Coquitlam River floodplain. • For more information about the Port Mann/Highw ay 1 Improvement Project go to www. pmh1project.com. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Um, hooray?
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
A
nyone who has been around the Tri-Cities for the last two decades will no doubt be skeptical about plans for the long-awaited Evergreen Line to Coquitlam. The on-again, off-again project has had several incarnations over the years. The route and technology have changed, funding issues have surfaced and there has been as much hand-wringing over this project as there has been over whether Sidney Crosby will be fit enough to return to hockey. In fact, if hockey is Canada’s favourite sport, then discussing the Evergreen Line is the biggest political game around this region — and no one understands this better than TransLink commissioner Martin Crilly, It’s Crilly’s job to decide whether TransLink’s Moving Forward supplement passes the smell test and apparently it did because he gave it the thumbsup — although not without a few reservations. According to Crilly, the plan approved by the TransLink mayors’ council Oct. 7 has some holes. For one, TransLink’s ridership projections for the Evergreen Line lacked detail and if ridership figures for the rest of the region are out of whack, too, the transportation authority could still be short of funds. Crilly suggested $53 million is not unreasonable. There’s also a funding gap of about $173 million for the project, which Crilly said the province has hinted it will fund but hasn’t said how; and while the feds have put aside $417 million for the Evergreen Line, there is as yet no signed agreement. Further, while much of the debate has been about the upcoming 2-cent-a-litre gas tax, and a potential $23 annual property tax levy for two years if no other funding sources are confirmed, Crilly pointed out that the plan also requires a 12% fare hike in 2013. The question, then, surely is why is TransLink funded in such a hodge-podge, risky manner? So while we have something to cheer about in the passage of the Moving Forward supplement, when it comes to certainty over funding for TransLink, not so much.
Sign treaties, Pierre warns... or ‘shut ’er down’ BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA inally, somebody in the B.C. treaty negotiation system has come out and said it. Releasing the B.C. Treaty Commission’s 19th annual report last week, chief commissioner Sophie Pierre announced she has asked for a oneyear extension to her term, to see the organization through its second decade. And if things don’t change, particularly in Ottawa, then “shut ’er down.” The commission is the independent “keeper of the process,” and the chief commissioner is appointed by agreement between the federal and provincial governments and B.C.’s First Nations Summit. Its job is to facilitate talks and dole out funds to aboriginal groups researching and negotiating treaties. As of this year, it has disbursed $500 million, $400 million of it loans that must be repaid
F
out of treaty settlements. “We are 19 years into the process and we have, just on the First Nations side, a half a billion dollar investment, and when are we going to start seeing a return on that investment?” Pierre asked. It’s safe to assume that there has been at least that much spent by the federal and provincial governments as well. And after a burst of progress with the Tsawwassen and Maa-Nulth treaties, as well as a controversial deal with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon, costly inaction resumed. Sliammon First Nation negotiators finalized a treaty in 2009. Off it went to Ottawa, where it has languished ever since, waiting for a set of initials that would allow a ratification vote by about 1,000 Sliammon people near Powell River. At stake is a settlement in which B.C. contributes 8,300 hectares of Crown land and Ottawa provides $37 million to compensate for a century of trespass and resource extraction from Sliammon territory. (You can object to all this and try to live in the past, as BC Conservative leader John

Cummins does, but we now have stacks of high court decisions that make aboriginal title real and inescapable, if not well defined.) Other commissioners agreed with Pierre about Ottawa’s role, including the federal appointee, Jerry Lampert. “The Canadian system is such that they are constantly going back to Ottawa for mandates for their individual negotiators,” Lampert said. “This is bureaucratic and it plays against the idea that we’re in a real negotiation.” With a majority Tory government in Ottawa and B.C. MP John Duncan as federal aboriginal affairs minister, there is hope of movement. And there is action on another front. Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq was in B.C. last week to sign an agreement to hand over authority and funding for onreserve health programs to a new aboriginal authority that will work with the provincial health system directly to administer reserve health programs. This will end a parallel health system run by Ottawa on reserves.
A similar agreement was signed in 2006 for aboriginal schooling. Alas, five years later, there is still wrangling between the First Nations Education Steering Committee and Ottawa over funding. But I’m told there is progress there, with resolution possible by the end of this year. Sto:lo Tribal Chief Doug Kelly, chair of the First Nations Health Council, says its financing terms are clear, and dealing Ottawa out of health care delivery will improve outcomes. B.C. Health Minister Mike de Jong and Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak agree that these broader self-government transfers for health and education, along with forest and mining deals, will bring treaties closer. Pierre’s blunt warning must have been heard in Ottawa. It appears the Sliammon treaty has been located and will receive federal blessing this week.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS It’s simple: Take care of your waste The Editor, Re. “15th bear killed at school� (The Tri-City News, Oct. 14). With the extremely informative multi-part series about bears in The Tri-City News, the many informative ads in local papers sponsored by all three of the cities and the numerous warnings and advice from the Conservation Officer service as well as Drake Stephens, Coquitlam’s Bear Aware co-ordinator, I believe we should be getting the message. Apparently not. We still have bears getting into garbage and, ultimately, fatal trouble. Then there is the usual outcry from the public criticizing the conservation officers for being trigger-happy and asking why they don’t relocate the bears, etc.
For the final part in The Tri-City News’ bear series, read the Oct. 26 edition The fact that needs to be understood is that relocation is not generally a viable option. The one viable option to prevent these occurrences is to secure your waste. I repeat: Secure your waste. The most troubling part of this latest event is that the dumpster on school property was not
secured. By all reports, this particular school was doing well in managing its waste but it is the one time the precautions of locking the dumpster weren’t taken and the bears seized the opportunity. Bears are doing all they can to consume 20,000-plus calories a day at this time of year prior to denning. Don’t help them get the calories with your waste. The message is clear when living in bear country: All garbage, be it residential, on commercial premises or public property, no matter how little or how much, needs to be secured 24/7/365. If it isn’t, expect more stories of bears being shot and killed. Philip Warburton, Port Coquitlam
Give up Xmas instead? The Editor, Re. “Family Day holiday will cost small biz dearly� (Opinion, The Tri-City News, Oct. 14). S h a c h i Ku rl , d i rector of provincial af fairs for the B.C. and Yukon for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), writes that the Family Day holiday will cost small businesses dearly, to the tune of $1,135 each based on employees who works eight hours per day, 40 hours per week, or, more simply put, $28.37 per hour
($1,135 divided by five employees divided by eight hours). This isn’t factoring in cost for energy and utility cost. The first question I would ask Ms. Kurl is how many employees working for small businesses (her definition) are actually making $28.37 per hour and how many work a 40-hour week? That is a stat that would interest readers. Second, which of the following costly statutory holidays would the CFIB wish to discontinue — New Years Day,
Canada Day, B.C. Day, Thanksgiving? How about Christmas day, which also costs $1,135? My guess is it would be none of these because these days stimulate a tremendous amount of business for the group she represents. Ms. Kurl would better serve the CFIB by being positive and encouraging them to build on this new statutory holiday, and in doing so making it a bonanza similar to those days mentioned above.

Annual flu shot season begins By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA – Doctors’ offices, clinics and pharmacies have begun the annual influenza vaccination program, which is free for seniors and children between six and 23 months old. Others eligible for the vaccine at no charge include health care and emergency workers, caregivers for seniors and children under two years old, pregnant women in their third trimester during winter flu season, aboriginal people and those who are very obese. Other B.C. residents not in high-risk groups can get a flu shot by paying a dispensing fee. The influenza vaccine is formulated each year to target the dominant strains of the respiratory virus that infects between 10 and 20 per cent of the population each year. The vaccine program was expanded in 2009 with the emergence of the H1N1 strain around the world. With pharmacists trained to provide the injections, about 40 per cent of B.C. residents
received the vaccine in the largest mass immunization in Canadian history. There were 55 deaths in B.C. related to H1N1, mostly of people with underlying medical conditions. Hundreds of people die each year from seasonal influenza. For more information call HealthLink BC at 811 or go to www.health. gov.bc.ca/flu/.

Stewart voted against a liquor extension until 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays for D’yar (Daniel’s) Restaurant, located at 2786 Barnet Hwy., which had applied to serve booze until 1:30 a.m. seven days a week (its current liquor
licence allows staff to serve booze until midnight, Monday to Sunday). Stewart said, in this case, the restaurant is not near homes but along a commercial/industrial strip. jwarren@tricitynews.com

T he owners of a Coquitlam eatery set a new bar for the City Centre area this week when they won the right to pour alcohol past midnight. But the liquor extension for the Urban Gate Restaurant, located on The High Street off Glen Drive, will apply only for Fridays and Saturdays until 1 a.m. The move by Coquitlam city council on Monday set off another debate about the need to make City Centre more vibrant while respecting the wishes of the residents living in surrounding — and yet-to-be-built — highrises. In a public consultation exercise last month, prompted by the Urban Gate’s request to have its liquor hours extended to 2 a.m. seven days a week, 134 area residents wrote to city hall to comment on the bid, with 87% of those opposing it. Many cited concerns about possible increased disorderly behaviour by restaurant patrons as well as noise, litter and cigarette smoking. Those in favour of the liquor extension, however, noted the economic benefits to the City Centre, the proximity to the Coquitlam RCMP detachment and the need to have drinking establishments close to home. C o u n . M a e Re i d ,
chair of the city’s land use committee, said the area is poised for massive growth, especially with the Evergreen Line coming down Pinetree Way soon, and the city has to get ready for latenight traffic. “This is a mixed-use neighbourhood and this is our City Centre so if we are going to turn it into a vibrant place, then we ought to support its vibrancy — at least, starting with Friday and Saturday nights,” Coun. Selina Robinson said. “We have a downtown that does not have a lot of life later in the evening,” Coun. Brent Asmundson added. “I think there was more life when I was younger 25 or 30 years ago in Coquitlam than there is today.” Coun. Barrie Lynch said the Keg Restaurant also recently got approval to serve booze until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturdays but it’s in an area where no one lives. Having a 1 a.m. weekend cut-off at Urban Gate is a “fair compromise,” he said, adding, “I think that we have to consider what type of downtown we want.” Coun. Doug Macdonell, who as chair of the city’s recreation committee is pressing to make Coquitlam “fun” with a new strategy to attract events and festivals year-round, also urged city managers to look at introducing entertainment zones or outdoor patios for Coquitlam businesses that want to offer latenight socializing. The topic was referred to the land use committee for discussion by the next

Teachers become students We’ll give you that during provincial pro-d day beautiful By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Students may be looking forward to a provincial professional development day Friday when schools will be closed but teachers won’t be sleeping in. They’ll be attending workshops held across the province, including two in the Tri-Cities, says Lisa DiMarco, professional development chair for the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association. CTA is presenting a workshop on critical thinking and effective groups as part of an eight-session series that began in the summer and the Computer Using Educators of BC (CUEBC) is holding a conference on education technology at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox secondary. DiMarco said pro-d days are opportunities for improving teaching skills and teachers use the time to attend conferences, network with teachers from other districts on important topics or research their own professional development. “As teachers, we have
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Between 300 and 400 teachers from across the province, including dozens from the Tri-Cities, are expected to attend the Computer Using Educators of B.C. conference “Embracing Emerging Technologies” this Friday, Oct. 21 at Terry fox secondary school, organized by Fox teachers Dennis Wong and Dave McCristall. worked hard to gain those pro-d days so we didn’t have to do them during weekends and summers. We’re given this one day across the province where teachers can come together with teachers from other districts, and travel together with others teachers and find out what other teachers are doing in other districts.” Teachers attending conferences can get partial reimbursement from the CTA and DiMarco said she has a stack of applications to review, with many of the teachers are planning to at-
tend the local conference on technology organized by the CUEBC. “I see a lot of people wanting to use technology in their classroom and conferences on how to use smart boards seem popular for elementary school teachers,” DiMarco said. Dennis Wong, who is helping to organize the technology conference at Fox, expects between 300 to 400 people to register to attend 40 workshops on topics ranging from how to use social media to 3D animation, to digital storytelling and movie-making in
the classroom, and Fox teacher Ryan Cho will be showing educators how to use cellphones as learning tools. A highlight of the workshop will be a presentation by an American educator who has won renown for discussing ways technology can be used in the classroom. David Warlick will offer ideas on how teachers can reach students who are native to technology in a keynote speech entitled Cracking the Native Information Experience. “What we want him to do is help teachers to get outside their comfort zone with emerging technology and realize students have embraced this technology and realize we have to embrace it, as well,” he said. Two other conferences have local ties. Douglas College is hosting a conference for physical education teachers at its New Westminster campus and Fox teacher Ken Kuhn is chairing a conference for teachers on the importance of student financial literacy at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Richmond campus.

Pressure grows on disability support By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA – A BC Liberal MLA has joined opposition calls for an overhaul of services to developmentally disabled people, as the provincial agency responsible struggles with a growing and aging caseload. NDP MLAs called in the legislature Monday for an outside review of Community Living B.C., the agency responsible for developmentally disabled people once they are adults. BC Liberal MLA Randy Hawes rejected the NDP motion as “too simplistic,” but said his constituents need more help than they are getting. “There are people who have looked after their kids forever, and they’re aging out,” Hawes told reporters after an emotional debate in the legislature. “They’re 80 years old with 50- and 60-year-old children who need to have some service, and we never knew they existed.” The board of directors of Community Living B.C. fired CEO Rick Mowles on Friday, after a series of controversies including the announced closure of a work program for developmentally disabled people at a recycling facility in Maple Ridge. CLBC has been phasing out some group homes as facilities and residents have aged, moving to home-share arrangements with contracted caregivers. During legislature de-
Lekstrom ‘an optimist’ continued from front page
Lekstrom and mayors agreed earlier this summer to raise the gas tax and work together to find new funding sources over the next year. He repeated that pledge and said he’s aware Metro mayors oppose any scenario that would increase property taxes, which is the backup mechanism if talks with Victoria fail to yield new sources. “I’m an optimist,” Lekstrom said. “I believe we’re going to find a solution that’s going to work for everyone.” That’s critical, he said, because TransLink needs a long-term funding solution so it can build more infrastructure beyond what’s contemplated in the new Moving Forward plan. Lekstrom also repeated a commitment to meet the mayors and look at how to fix any problems in how TransLink is governed. Mayors complain they have no control over TransLink’s priorities — decided by an unelected professional board — and that their only role is to vote on tax and fare increases. The gas tax increase will give TransLink an extra $40 million of the $70 million per year it needs to fund the new plan. The transportation authority will take in an estimated $364 million in fuel taxes in 2012 from its dedicated 17 cents a litre. BC Conservative leader John Cummins opposes the gas tax hike and said the decision of both the Liberals and NDP to support it leaves the Tories as “the only fiscally responsible party” in the province. “This is a tax essentially on the working poor,” he said, adding transit doesn’t work for many Metro Vancouver residents. “It’s a tax on the commuter.” Local residents are already paying the highest gas taxes in Canada, he said. He said a 1% cut in the budgets of Metro Vancouver cities could have funded the Evergreen Line and that other taxes already collected could be reapportioned to finance other TransLink needs. jnagel@blackpress.ca

“They’re 80 years old with 50- and 60-year-old children who need to have some service, and we never knew they existed.” MLA Randy Hawes bate, Hawes described one family whose developmentally disabled son grew to more than six feet tall and became violent as he reached his 20s. He was put in a home-share but that lasted two weeks. “It was a fight, a real hard fight, to find a space for him,” Hawes said. “Definitely, he has to be in a group home.” Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux was appointed social development minister in September, replacing Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy in the ministry responsible for CLBC. Cadieux said Monday she supports the CLBC board’s decision to make changes, and she does not agree with the NDP’s demand for an outside review of the agency’s operation.
“That’s my job as minister, to dig in and see what’s going on,” Cadieux said. “I’m doing that.” In question period, NDP MLAs continued to hammer the government over the closure of 65 group homes and the growing wait list fo r C L B C s e r v i c e s. Developmentally disabled children receive support from the Ministry of Children and Families until they turn 19, and then must apply to CLBC. Hawes described one constituent, a man in his 70s with a developmentally disabled son in his 50s. His wife now suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, and the man told Hawes his three days of respite care are no longer enough. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Aiming to keep the ‘screen generation’ safe in online world
Think, then dress With Halloween just a dozen nights away, the Children of the Street Society is urging parents to think twice about their children’s costumes and discourage the use of clothing and accessories that promote prostitution and the gang lifestyle “The message is simple: It’s not socially acceptable to dress up as a pimp, gangster or sex trade worker this Halloween,” Diane Sowden, executive director of the Children of the Street Society, said in a press release. The organization, which teaches young people about sexual exploitation, says dressing as a “pimp” or a “ho” glamorizes the destructive gang lifestyle.
Touring group shows videos that demonstrate the dangers of over-sharing online and of the seductive gang lifestyle By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
W
ith school in high gear, students are busy connecting with old friends and making new ones, too. Problem is, a lot of this socializing is online, leaving children vulnerable to sexual predators who may be disguising their intentions. According to the Ministry of Children and Family Development, one in five kids between the age of 10 and 17 have been sexually solicited online — and 75% don’t tell a parent or an adult. To fill the gap in resources and information, Coquitlam-based Children of the Street Society is once again visiting local schools to make children aware of how to protect themselves so they don’t become victims of sexual exploitation. The issue is increasingly a concern as children as young as 10 start putting information about themselves on social media websites — information that can be used against them by clever predators. “We’re basically teaching them how to be safe online,” says program co-ordinator Meghan Toal, who with five COS facilitators, hopes to conduct 600 workshops across the province for 28,000 students, including workshops in School District 43. This year, the facilitators are introducing a new tool in their arsenal to inform students about the many forms of sexual exploitation and how it often starts on the internet. They have created videos for two age groups: One is a story geared to middle school students about a boy and a girl who “over-share” or put too much information about themselves on their YouTube vlog while the other is geared to high school students about the downward spiral of a boy or girl who fall prey to the gangster lifestyle. “We are really dealing with the screen generation,” said Toal, explaining that feedback from students showed storytelling with video was a good way to get information across. The facilitators spent the summer talking to people in the sex trade as well as streetinvolved youth, members of the Vancouver Police Department vice squad and youth workers to put together credible stories. In the videos geared to the younger age group, “Carter” and “Julia” list their school, age, likes and dislikes on a vlog and find it attracts some unwanted attention. Toal said the video will be used to delve into the issue of what’s appropriate to put online and how to set personal boundaries as well as other adolescent concerns such as fitting in and being respectful to one another. The video sets the stage for what Toal calls a “foundational conversation” with middle school students about the warning signs of
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Children of the Street Society workers Ian Jung, Jaedyn Starr, Larissa Maxwell, Emilly Huynh, Andrea Krakan and Meghan Toal (program co-ordinator), will be visiting middle and high schools across the province to teach students to be safe online and avoid sexual exploitation. sexual exploitation, noting that it’s not too early to discuss these difficult topics because the highest risk ages are 13 and 14. For the older age group, the video docudrama tackles the issues of sexual exploitation, gang recruitment and prostitution, and illustrates the warning signs of recruitment — the offering of gifts and attention to a young person, often by a slightly older man, while simultaneously cutting off connections from friends and family. The 90-minute workshop also discusses the risks of putting too much private information or nude photos on the internet, which can hurt employment opportunities, attract predators and, if it’s pornography, result in legal charges. Activities such as “sexting,” sharing in-
timate information over cellphones, and LG (little girl) parties, where middle-school girls are invited to parties organized by older teens, are also discussed, Toal said, and while the topics are difficult, the Grade 9 to 12 students may be more likely to heed the warnings because they are delivered by young adults who are up to date on the issues and the trends. Ian Jung, one of the facilitators who portrays a gang member in the “Julia” video, says it’s also important to tackle the issue of gangs and gang recruitment head on. Youth need to look honestly at the lifestyle so they understand that gang life is not all parties, cool clothes and fast-cars, he said. It’s dangerous and can lead to a life of low-level crime or worse — involvement in the drug trade
and even death, and plenty of examples can be ripped from today’s news headlines. “It’s all about myth busting,” Jung said. “There’s a lot of misconceptions about what it [the gang life] means.” But the workshops are not all about the bad news. Students are given resources, emails and web addresses for place to go to get more information or report to the authorities and time is spent discussing how to help people leave exploitative relationships. It’s a timely message and schools and parent advisory councils can book these free workshops to their schools; bookings can be made for both 2011 and 2012. • For more information, visit www.childrenofthestreet.com. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Exploring Afghanistan with Indian influence in Afghanistan. Rashid deals extensively with Pakistan’s internal politics, especially involving former general Pervez Musharraf, who came to power in a coup. But his most scathing criticism is directed against those Western governments that, in the interests of “stability,” allied with corrupt and dictatorial regimes such as Pakistan and Egypt, especially the United States. In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, these alliances look not just immoral but counterproductive. Rashid holds out little hope for the future of Afghanistan as anything but a failed state. It would require years more military support and hundreds of millions more dollars of aid, while exhausted Western countries like Canada and the United States are beginning to withdraw. A more hopeful note for the Middle East generally is struck by Robin Wright’s Rock the Casbah published just after the Arab Spring. Wright sees a general growth in the Middle East of “antijihadism,” an upsurge of popular revulsion against

a Western ally against the Taliban and Al-Qaida while secretly supporting both militarily and financially, to the extent of offering staging grounds inside Pakistan itself. From the perspective of Ahmed Rashid’s Descent into Chaos, Chayes’ concerns seem prescient. Rashid, a Pakistan-based journalist whose contacts with and personal knowledge of the key Afghan and Pakistani players are unmatched, spells out in more detail Hamid Karzai’s inability to come to grips with the destabilizing and corrupt warlords and the stealthy Pakistani support for the Taliban, motivated by an obsessive (and mainly unrealistic) concern

He has not suffered with any vertigo for the last six months. • P. Chew, 88 years old, was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily.

wo books, one fairly recent and one published at the beginning of the Western involvement in Afghanistan, give an overview of the problems faced by participating countries like Canada and the United States — ones that were never overcome in the course of the campaign and that make Afghanistan’s future extremely problematic. Sara Chayes’ The Punishment of Virtue was written shortly after the fall of the Taliban. Chayes came to Kandahar as a correspondent for National Public Radio in the U.S. but resigned to become a founder of an aid organization, Afghans for Civil Society. She soon immersed herself in the lives of ordinary Afghans, living with them as well as working with them while building up knowledge of the political and strategic background of the struggle against a resurgent Taliban. Chayes sees two major problems with the Western approach: One was an enormous reliance on local warlords, who offered protection against the Taliban but at the same time were corrupt and uninterested in building an Afghan nation that transcended tribes and clans. She begins by admiring and supporting Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, but soon sees him as incapable of standing up to the warlords. The second problem is Pakistan, and particularly the security organization ISI. ISI in a sense created the Taliban in the revolt against the Soviet occupation (greatly assisted by the CIA). Post 9/11, they claimed to be
violent ideology and a growing unwillingness by Muslims to be defined by violence-prone extremists Most of Wright’s work is about adaptations of more general cultural trends that are making their way into Middle Eastern societies. It is a cliché that the Arab Spring was partly Facebook and Twitter driven but how about an Islamic rap group? Or Islamic comedians? Or organizers of film festivals? All these cultural forms are showing up, mainly, of course, among the young. Wright’s main point is that the new forms are not signs of Westernization. They are being developed by people who define themselves as Muslims and who support Muslim values. They are not looking to develop a liberal society — only to enrich an Islamic society. The point is, their version of Islamic society does not include support for or worship of jihadism. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday.

Salmon come home to Tri-City By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The days are getting shorter, the rains have returned and leaves are piling up on lawns and in gutters. And there is one more sign of fall just around the corner in the TriCities: the return of spawning salmon to local streams. It’s a ritual of nature that has gone on for thousands of years and this week, Tri-City residents will mark the annual event with the Salmon Come Home Festival on Sunday. In partnership with the city of Coquitlam, the Hoy/Scott Watershed Society will hold a celebration with music, presentations, games and displays at the Hoy Creek hatchery, near Princess Crescent and the City Centre Aquatic Complex. “Everyone who has an interest in what goes on with the wildlife and the environment will be interested in this event,” said society president Rodney Lee. The free event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. rain or shine but, contrary to popular opinion, rain is good because it brings the salmon in to spawn. Last year, the salmon were late, Lee said, but some chum have already been spotted in the creek this year. “It’s pretty close to being on time,” Lee said of the annual migration. “The recent rains have helped the situation.” Lee said it’s unique to have a salmon spawning creek so close to urban areas and he encourages everyone to come out and take a look at the salmon and learn more about their habits and the local environment. New for this year will be recycling-themed crafts for kids, and there will be children’s music and a costume parade by Angela Brown, spawning salmon viewing, presentations by the Fisheries and Oceans Canada, community group displays and activities including Bear Aware, Burke Mountain Naturalists, and the Wildlife Rescue Association of BC, a prize fishing pond by Vancity, and displays by t h e F re s h w at e r Fisheries Society of BC, BC Hydro Power Smart and the city of Coquitlam Adopt a Tree program. The Hoy/Scott Watershed Society has run the small hatchery since 1999 and conducts a salmon enhancement program in partnership with the city technical expertise from Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver is looking for 20 people in the Tri-Cities area to volunteer one hour each week on school grounds with a boy or girl. Better known for the typical Big Brothers program, the charity is currently promoting their In-School Mentoring Program, a flexible volunteer opportunity with a minimal time commitment for both male and female mentors. The four Tri-Cities elementary schools that are currently offering the program are Miller Park and Rochester in Coquitlam, Central in Port Coquitlam and Moody in Port Moody. “Contrary to popular belief, Big Brothers doesn’t only offer programs to children without fathers,” explains Joanne Kautz-Allard, program director at Big Brothers. “Children today are faced with many challenges from low self-esteem to language barriers. The InSchool Program is yet another way we can be a resource to kids who need some one-to-one time.” Kautz-Allard is also quick to point out another misconception — that applicants to the program must be professionals or experienced with children. The fact is many volunteers are students or working people who simply don’t have the opportunity to interact with children in their personal lives. Big Brothers accepts volunteers from varying situations providing they are 18 or older and pass a criminal record check and eager to make a difference. Striving to help at-risk children, Big Brothers has aggressive goals to prevent behaviours that will take children down a negative path in life. In 2011/’12, its goal is to match 1,051 children with positive adult mentors. Those interested may visit bigbrothersvancouver.com. There are estimates s o m e 1 0 , 0 0 0 L owe r Mainland children could benefit from a mentor.

A stitch in time for PM celebration Needleworkers are sought for Port Moody centennial project By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Moody’s history is about to be recreated one stitch at a time and volunteers are needed to help out. Ann Kitching is looking for needleworkers to embroider images of people, buildings and events for a large wall-hanging for city hall. “We do not have a pictorial record of the city’s history and these wall hangings have been popular in Europe since the 10th century, even earlier,” Kitching said. Volunteers will take home and stitch onto fabric an image that has been created by a graphic artist. Once all the pieces are finished and stitched on to the wall hanging, members of the public will be invited to stitch birds, flowers and other designs. Everyone who contributes will get his or her name recorded in a book to commemorate the project. “It will be part of our history,” Kitching said. So far, 17 people have joined the Stitching our History group but Kitching needs many more people to help out with the embroidery. “Most people who want to take it on will have embroidered,” she said, noting, “It’s complicated.” The centennial is not until 2013 so there is plenty of time to get the job done. To help, contact Kitching by phone at 604469-0738 or email sophicat@shaw.ca dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

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,
p a r t i c u l a rl y o l d e r 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 tomorrow (Thursday) 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 pro-
tect 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
Jobs help for immigrants Are you a newcomer to Canada? Are you interested in connecting your skills to the Canadian workplace?

sonable job target; • can speak at an intermediate to advanced level of English; At a session, facilitated by employment counsellors Anna Ponce De Leon and Seann Sinclaire, you can learn about Skills Connect, an initiative by ISSBC that helps ease the transition of skilled immigrants into the Canadian workforce by connecting them with industry-specific skills training, credential evaluation and job search services. The presentation runs from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., with screening from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. To register, call 604684-2561, Ext. 2123 or email skillsconnect@ issbc.org.

The show has taken off as part of a series that opened last month and tours through November at various B.C. cities, just as Holly’s music career was doing before his untimely death. “The day the music died,” as Don McLean wrote in his 1971 tribute song, American Pie, was Feb. 2, 1959, when the chartered plane in which he was travelling crashed in a Iowa farm field and claimed his life of a mere 22 years, along with those of other rising singers: Ritchie Valens, 17, and 28-year-old J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson. While Stevenson, 29, is far too young to remember Holly firsthand, his own band, Human Statues, has its music infused with duo harmonies similar to The Beatles, who made it no secret in their early days they were inspired greatly by Holly. It is said that Holly set the template for the standard rock and roll band: Two guitars, a bass and drums. He was also one of the first of his genre to write, produce and perform his own songs. “I really only know the basics about Buddy... and maybe a little more for someone my age,” Stevenson, a Parksville native and current Vancouver resident,
told The Tri-City News on Monday. “I didn’t even realize before he was from Texas. I didn’t hear that [accent] in his voice. He was an interesting character. He was polite and of Baptist religion, yet kind of rebellious at the same time. “His music was really kind of punk rock for its day,” Stevenson said. The play also involves Holly’s love interest, Maria Elena Stantiago, whom he proposed to after a whirlwind romance and was left a widow after only six months of marriage. She was pregnant at the time of Holly’s death and miscarried shortly after, reportedly due to pyschological trauma. “There’s only so much we know about him,” Stevenson said of Holly, who perished only 18 months after his biggest hit, That’ll be the Day, was released. “What we do have is his music itself and the energy it reveals... about life and love and all that stuff a young man goes through. But, at the same time, it’s cutting edge, too.” Elena Juatco, who plays Holly’s wife Maria, says everybody in the play has a true and timeless connection with Holly, whose other hits include Peggy Suee and Not Fade Away. “I think it’s important to say we all love music and this show’s about Buddy Holly and his music,” Juatco says in an interview on the Arts Club’s website (www.artsclub.com). “Everyone on our cast plays an instrument and when we have breaks everyone picks up a guitar or gets on drums and we just start jamming together.” On Sept. 7 and what would have been his 75th birthday, Holly received a star posthumously on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And he has a star like Stevenson, paying him a live tribute well-worth watching. • For tickets, call Evergreen at 604-927-6555. lpruner@tricitynews.com

Call him Mr. September By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Adrian Sherriff took his shirt off so young burn victims can, too. The Coquitlam resident is Mr. September in the 2012 Hall of Flame calendar, B.C. firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; largest fundraiser for charities that include, among others, the Vancouver General Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burn treatment centre and the BC Professional Firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Burn Camp. Sherriff, a 2002 Gleaneagle secondary grad and United rugby player, said he was eager to take part in the campaign to support kids who are burn survivors. Last year, he joined the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; launch day for the annual summer camp with some participants â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I got to see how excited they were to go,â&#x20AC;? Sherriff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could really tell it was something that really mattered to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little different when your average kid goes to the beach and can take their shirt off and go into the water,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but, for someone with burns, they might be a little shy or reluctant to want to do
something like that in public. When theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around other burn victims, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier for them to be them.â&#x20AC;? Besides the calendar, which was photographed in June at Firehall 6 (West End), Sherriff will also generate some heat when appears at the West Coast Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Show, which happens this weekend at the TRADEX in Abbotsford. Sherriff, whose home firehall is Number 5 (Killarney), will strut the catwalk for a fashion show with other calendar models on Friday at 7:30 p.m. But just before that, at 5 p.m., heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll whip up one of his favourite dishes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thai chicken noodle salad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also in an effort to build awareness and to collect money for the firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; foundation. The 27-year-old bachelor admits he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t great in front of the stove when he was hired as a Vancouver smoke-eater two years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, my friends and family say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I had no idea you could cook like this,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it just takes a bit of practice and confidence.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ The 25th annual 2012 Greater Vancouver Hall of Flame charity calendar is available at London Drugs or online at www.iaff18.org/.

BC’s first ALL-ELECTRIC Nissan LEAF at Morrey Nissan Nissan Canada brings sustainable mobility to British Columbia with the delivery of the province’s first all-electric Nissan LEAF to a retail customer. Coquitlam’s Bill and Nicole Clendinning along with four-year old daughter Tara, took delivery of their red Nissan LEAF SL today at Morrey Nissan of Port Coquitlam. This groundbreaking moment represents the province’s first delivery of a mass market, all-electric car to a retail consumer. m “This is a significant milestone as we deliver the first all-electric Nissan LEAF to the Clendinning family in British Columbia, the first province in Canada to commit to working with us to promote the adoption of electric vehicles almost two years ago,” said Allen Childs, President of Nissan Canada Inc. “Sustainable mobility is within w our grasp and at Nissan we’re excited to be leading the way by bringing the world’s first all-electric car to the mass market, which was also recognized as the 2011 World Car of the Year.” W Both Bill and Nicole Clendinning work at BC Hydro and are committed to reducing their family’s environmental impact and switching to the Nissan LEAF is a big part oof that. It fits their lifestyle offering ample range for trips to Mission and Whistler, where they enjoy going for weekend getaways. “In British Columbia transportation is the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and we believe that electric vehicles are an important part of how our pprovince can reduce our use of fossil fuels,” said Nicole Clendinning. “What set the Nissan LEAF apart from other vehicles in the market was the driving experience – iit’s so fun to drive! You forget you’re in an electric car and get back to the joy of driving. By choosing this car we feel like we get to have our cake and eat it too.” “We’re thrilled to host the event today representing the arrival of the Nissan LEAF to British Columbia,” said Jason Morrey, President of Morrey Nissan. “We’ve had a lot of consumers come into the dealership asking questions about the Nissan LEAF, really curious about an all-electric car and how it would fit into their lifestyle. It’s very exciting to be at the forefront of the sustainable mobility movement.” The Nissan LEAF™ is the world’s first mass-marketed all-electric car made for the real-world driving needs of consumers and was named the 2011 World Car of the Year. It is a medium-size hatchback with ample cargo space and seating for five adults comfortably. With a range of 160 kilometres (EPA LA4 cycle) on one full charge, Nissan LEAF provides 90% of Canadians with the range needed for daily commutes. With a 240 volt home charging dock full charge is achieved in seven l Clendinning hours, and with a Level 3 Quick Charger, 80% charge can be achieved in just 26 minutes. a, Nicole, Tara and Bil Jason Morrey, Neetik Powered by a lithium-ion battery, Nissan LEAF generates 107 horsepower, 207 lb-ft of torque providing a highly responsive, fun-to-drive experience. Because there’s no traditional engine, Nissan LEAF is ultra-quiet and for safety reasons a sound had to be added so pedestrians could hear the car coming. In April, Nissan LEAF was awarded a “Top Safety Pick” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

IVETT GONDA
Gonda grabs gold By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Moody’s Ivett Gonda gave Canada a literal kick-start on Saturday’s opening day at the Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Gonda grabbed the country its first gold medal at the Games after handling Lizbeth Julissa Diez Canseco of Peru 13-6 in the women’s under-49 kg division of taekwondo, including out-pointing her 8-1 in a final round that featured a decisive roundhouse kick to the head. “I was just waiting for the right moment,” Gonda told The Canadian Press. “Sometimes it comes together. Getting the first gold medal [for Canada] on Day 1, I can’t ask for more. It’s great.” In the semifinals, Gonda posted an 8-3 victory over Deiranne Este phany Morales of the U.S. after having whipped Carolena Carstens of Panama 11-4 in the quarter-finals. The 25-year-old Gonda was born in Hungary and moved to Canada at age 4. She has won several international competitions, including claiming bronze at the 2007 Pan Ams in Brazil, and is a two-time Olympian who placed fifth in Athens in 2004.

Hot Express weather two storms By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Powell River Kings fired 49 shots at the Coquitlam cage Friday. They managed to beat Express goalies only four times and failed to beat them on the scoreboard. Alex Petan and Alexander Kerfoot rifled home third-period goals as the Express posted a dramatic 4-4 draw before 806 fans at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex against the Kings, who are considered a prime Royal Bank Cup national contender this B.C. Hockey League season. The Express’s Khaleed Devji relieved starter Cole Huggins midway through the game and was particularly strong in the final 20 minutes, blocking all 22 blasts the Kings’ sent his way while Coquitlam managed only nine in the period on the Power River net. Devji followed up his strong showing with another superb effort Saturday, when he blocked 50 shots to rally the Express to a 5-3 triumph over the host Cowichan Valley Capitals.
The Caps out-shot Coquitlam 5330, including by a staggering 39-15 margin over the final two periods. “[We] bent at times but never broke, thanks to Devji,” Express assistant coach Grant Kerr wrote on the team’s website. “He was brilliant.” Against Powell River, the Express went three-for-six on the powerplay with Brady Shaw and Evan Campbell joining Petan and Kerfoot on the scoresheet. In Cowichan, the Express bolted to a 3-0 first-period lead and made it 4-0 with fewer than seven minutes left in the second before the Caps rallied to cut the margin to 4-3 seven minutes into the third. Kerfoot sealed the win with an empty netter, with defenceman Clinton Atkinson pacing the Express offence with two tallies. Zack Holstrom and Mitch Nardi also struck net for Coquitlam. The results improved the Express to 5-3-1-0 and into third spot in the eight-team Coastal Conference, just four points back of the first-place Kings.

Matthew Hutchinson of the Coquitlam Express hounds the Powell River Kings’ Evan Richardson in a recent BCHL game in Coquitlam. The teams played to a 4-4 tie Friday.
Black Panthers keep cruising one point at a time Port Moody Black Panthers have learned that losing in overtime beats losing period. The Cats chalked up their leaguehigh third OT loss last Thursday in Mission but wound up with three points in two games after trimming the Aldergrove Kodiaks 3-2 Saturday in Pacific International Jr. ‘B’ hockey
league play at Port Moody Rec Complex. A 5-4 defeat to the host Mission Icebreakers still gave the Cats a single point and, coupled with their win over the Kodiaks, improved them to 4-1-3 and in top spot by a single digit in the five-team Harold Brittain Conference.
Against the Kodiaks, Trevor Kang’s goal six minutes into the third period proved the winner for the Cats, who got a stellar 42-save showing from goalie Nicholas Taylor. Martin Campbell and Dylan Friel, with the Cats shorthanded, netted the other PoMo goals. Versus Mission, the Cats’ Cam
Patterson forced overtime when he scored with just 55 ticks remaining in regulation time. Richard Moul, Campbell and Kang also struck net in a losing cause, as Mission posted its first victory in seven games thus far this season. The Cats host the Abbotsford Pilots on Saturday, 7:45 p.m.

Junior Ravens run wild By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Connor McKee was Mc-nificent last Thursday for the Terry Fox Ravens. The do-all quarterback dashed for 127 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 224 and five majors as the Ravens stor med to a 62-34 victory over Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat Hawks in a B.C. AAA high school junior varsity football league affair. In AAA senior league play Friday, Fox was whipped 33-0 by Mouat while the Centennial
Centaurs were crushed 37-6 by the No. 1-ranked St. Thomas More Knights of Burnaby. The junior Ravens increased their comfortable 27-14 halftime lead to 40-14 after three quarters, with McKee doing the majority of the offensive damage. A f t e r M i ke We s t opened the Fox scoring on a 45-yard run, McKee tossed back-to-back TD passes of 16 and 86 yards respectively to Adriel Sellers and Jake Bye, then darted 22 yards to paydirt himself to give the Ravens a commanding 27-7 early margin. “It was a great game
with a fast start,” raved Ravens head coach Dave Lehman, whose team improved to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in league action. “We came out in the fourth quarter with a few mental errors and allowed Mouat to get back in the game but our guys showed they’re learning to win by answering back. Connor McKee had a phenomenal performance.” Led by West’s teamleading eight tackles and a QB sack, the Ravens’ defence recorded six turnovers on two interceptions (Kyle Miller and Jason Shamatutu), two fumble recover-
ies (Kyle Sagmoen and Nick Agnoletto) and two fourth-down stops. Isaiah Stevens was also solid defensively for Fox with five solo tackles. Next, the junior Ravens take on their Tri-City rivals, the Centaurs, tomorrow (Thursday) at Fox Oval, 3:30 p.m. The 3-1 senior Ravens battle 5-0 St. Thomas More on F riday at Percy Perry Stadium, 7 p.m., while the 1-2 senior Cents host the 2-2 Earl Marriott Mariners of South Surrey at the same location and time Saturday.

Volunteers at the Heart of Treasures of Christmas The Treasures of Christmas Gala has become a well established, eagerly anticipated, annual fundraising initiative for and by the supporters of Crossroads Hospice Society. For many people it is the start of the festive season in the Tri-Cities, for others it is a lifetime passion. This is true for the many volunteers who contribute to organizing this stunning event. Held each November, Treasures of Christmas was first envisioned by public relations volunteer Anita Delesalle more than seventeen years ago. Since then Treasures of Christmas has grown from a small celebration of beautifully decorated Christmas trees to one of the largest fundraising events
in our community. Anita initially convinced the board that she could decorate a tree with garland and gifts and auction it for $500. Little did she know that her innovative idea would attract such a large group of passionate volunteers looking to provide their talent, time and energy? Today’s Treasures of Christmas features eight themed trees, a live and silent auction, two raffles and we have seen proceeds grow from $20,000 in 1992 to over $100,000 by 2010. Treasures of Christmas is the signature fundraising gala event for Crossroads Hospice Society and helps to create the
2011 – 18
th
financial security Crossroads Hospice Society needs to expand its valuable programs and services. Organized by a committee of 30 volunteers, who sit on six separate sub-committees, they make the decisions on: Christmas tree themes; food and entertainment selection; silent and live auctions packages; design programs and promotions; solicit and organize door prizes and raffles and ensure the evening is a fabulous one! Need tickets? Hurry; there is a limited number available. Order your tickets securely online at www.treasuresofchristmas.ca or call 604-945-0606.

Hospice is in your community
Crossroads Hospice Society offers our visiting volunteer service in six communities – Tri-Cities, Anmore, Belcarra and New Westminster - as well as at Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice (Port Moody).
For more information, please call 604-945-0606
Crossroads Hospice Society is a network of enthusiastic staff, devoted volunteers, and generous community supporters. The success of Crossroads Hospice Society is a reflection of all of their effort, energy and time invested. We are grateful for everyone’s dedication and commitment. In 2008, my inaugural year, Crossroads Hospice Society, along with our community, supporters and volunteers celebrated our 20th year with great fan fair. Crossroads Hospice Society has grown and evolved over the 20-plus years to meet the ever-changing needs of our growing and diverse community The Board of Directors has made significant contributions to the governance, guidance and strategic planning of the Society. I leave knowing the Society has a Board of Directors that is active and engaged, and will continue to lead this organization into the future to ensure all members of our community have access to high quality end-of-life care and services. With a long-term view of financial stability and future growth, the Society expanded in 2010 with the introduction of the Crossroads Hospice Foundation. The foundation has been
developed for legacy planning and planned giving initiatives and it will be a great benefit to the ongoing success and longevity of the Society Crossroads Hospice Society continues to expand the programs and services at the Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice and was proud to unveil the Labyrinth Healing Garden in Port Moody in 2009. The Labyrinth Healing Garden will be a long lasting legacy, integrating nature into our compassionate focus for our patients, staff, volunteers, supporters and our community. The Board of Directors in 2010 embarked on a volunteer project to “Share the Care”, a project enabling Crossroads Hospice Society and our partners in care to share our experience and extensive knowledge of hospice and palliative care with a hospital in need in Ghana, Africa. The community support and response has been encouraging and affirms our belief in paying it forward. Finally Spring of 2011 Crossroads Hospice Society expanded our thriving Thrift Store to a much needed larger location to better serve our supporters. The new location offers a larger selection of quality merchandise, and its proceeds help Crossroads Hospice Society to continue to offer and expand our programs and services. I would like to thank everyone for their efforts to ensure the on-going success of Crossroads Hospice Society in our mission to provide compassionate support and honour the dignity of those affected by the end-of-life experience. I have truly enjoyed being a part of the Society, I value the many relationships I have made and look forward to continuing my support.

ackstage the dancers waited in anxious anticipation for their turn in the spotlight while Dee Parry, last year’s winner and event planner, led the organizing committee through the final rehearsals for Dancing with Our Stars. Working closely with Barbara Ferchuk and Brent Smith, co-franchisee owners of the Port Coquitlam Arthur Murray Studio, Parry knows how much work the dancers, stage crew and volunteers put into the October 8, 2011 production at the Red Robinson Show Theatre. “I know from my own experience that dancing takes us out of our comfort zone. The countless number of hours learning the routines that the Arthur Murray instructors put together for us is incredible and I can’t thank them enough for doing this,” says Parry. Enthusiasm from the first Dancing with Our Stars motivated many to step forward to recreate this community event that features local business and civic leaders paired up with the stellar talents of dance instructors. “When Dee first approached us with the idea, we were delighted to join in! All of the contestants have been amazing — energetic, committed individuals who are willing to put themselves out there for a great cause.
From the Community

“
Through our work and involvement in the community we have heard many stories of how Crossroads Hospice Society has supported and cared for people in such meaningful ways. When hearing these stories we realized there is always a common thread ...gratitude. Some sadness, usually tears, but always gratitude. We are pleased to help support the great work they do.

The Roxy Design team is pleased to help bring to life the vision of the Crossroads Hospice Society. Like all Crossroads supporters we are inspired by the dragonfly image and the comfort it brings to those facing life’s final journey. We are proud to be a part of the Crossroads family of sponsors.
As the dancers took turns stealing the spotlight in front of judges Cori Caulfield, Chris Gallivan and Mike Forrest, stellar entertainment waited in the wings including; up-and-coming country performers Karen-Lee Batten and Damian Marshall; classical ballet dancer Ben Freemantle performing with vocalist Cecile LaRochelle and a special performance by Barbara Ferchuk and Brent Smith. “It is hard to believe that so many people would put in so much time and energy into this remarkable show. On behalf of Crossroads Board of Directors, staff and volunteers I would like to thank everyone who participated in making this event happen and for putting on a twice stellar show. Your dedication inspires us all,” says Barb Henham, Executive Director of Crossroads Hospice Society.
President, Crossroads Hospice Society Board of Directors I am honoured to serve on the Board of Crossroads and look forward to my term as President. I am constantly amazed at the compassion shown and the care given to those families in need of the services provided by the staff and volunteers of Crossroads. I am grateful for the opportunity to do my part.

Crossroads Support Volunteer My late husband Endel and I began volunteering with Crossroads many years ago. Today I still volunteer my time at Hike for Hospice (since it started nine years ago) and I walk in the annual Rotary May Day Parade. I’ve rolled coins and stuffed envelopes while Endel helped with electrical needs at the thrift store. It has been a huge honour to help such a wonderful community organization with money yes, but also much needed support behind the scenes.
