Proposed compost operation is slated for PoCo Private firm aims to serve region By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Plans for a large-scale composting facility are being considered by the city of Port Coquitlam and could save on trucking costs for Tri-City municipalities with kitchen and green waste pickup programs. Currently, the closest disposal centre for green waste is located in Richmond — approximately 38 km away — but a PoCo facility could reduce that distance to under 6 km, depending on the municipality. Jerry Salberg, the chair and CEO of Cascade Renewable Carbon Corp., which is proposing the project, said with the volume of trips, the savings would quickly add up. “It makes quite a difference when you are hauling things 38 km,” Salberg said. “We have a very good location from a commercial haulers perspective.” Cascade is currently in the last phase of a development permit application with the city. Once that process is complete, further approvals would be required from Metro Vancouver. The company expects to contract with local municipalities, commercial operations and institutions, and would be capable of handling up to 100 tonnes of materials a day. If the proposal is a l l owe d , a 3 . 7 5 - a c re property south of the Lougheed Highway, west of the Mary Hill Bypass, near the railway tracks, could be operational by the new year. see ODOURS ODOURS,, page 6

Coquitlam’s most wanted on Mounties’ website By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam RCMP has launched an online initiative that identifies people who are wanted by local Mounties in order to generate tips from the public. The Wanted Project posts names and pictures of suspects with outstanding warrants and has a phone number people can call to provide information about those individuals’ whereabouts, activities and associations.
But police warn anyone who comes into contact with a person whose photo is posted on the Wanted Project website should not attempt to approach or contact the suspect. “[Readers] should not, under any circumstances, try to apprehend the wanted or put themselves at any risk at all,” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung wrote in an email. “The safest thing to do is call the police from a safe place and let us deal with them.” Currently, the police have posted the
names of four people they are seeking: • Vasile Maier is wanted on a Canadawide warrant for fraud, possession of an instrument used for fraudulent purposes and forgery. He is a 34-year-old Caucasian, 5’7”, 175 lb. with brown eyes and a shaved head. • Emerson Reyes is wanted for assault and forcible confinement, and is described as a 37-year-old Hispanic man, 5’7” tall, weighing 170 lb. He has black hair and brown eyes. • Marc Koehler is wanted for personation
with intent and is described as a 39-year-old Caucasian man with blonde hair and green eyes who is 5’9” tall and weighs 201 lb. • Randy Almeida-Martinez is wanted for assault and failure to appear. He is a 21-year-old Hispanic man who is 5’9” tall and weighs 177 lb. He has green eyes and brown hair.

VOTESMART Two candidates don’t live in cities where they’re running 20 11
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Mayoral, council and school board candidates in the Tri-Cities are gearing up their campaigns, putting the final touch on brochures and websites, and knocking on doors. But two contenders will be canvassing for votes in municipalities where they don’t live. According to nomination papers filed last week, Coquitlam council candidate Fred Soofi is an Anmore resident while Rebecca Helps, who wants a Port Moody council job, calls Victoria home. Section 66 of the Local Government Act, the provincial legislation that regulates how municipalities run, gives a number of qualifications for holding elected office, such as being 18 or older on voting day, being a Canadian citizen and being a B.C. resident
COQ.: FRED SOOFI
POMO: REBECCA HELPS
for at least six months. But there’s nothing in the act that stops a non-resident from running for, or holding, office. On Wednesday, Soofi told The Tri-City News he recently put a down payment on a property in Burquitlam and he plans to move into his
home in about a year, when it is built. As well, he said until last year, he co-owned a home on Westwood Plateau with his brother. Soofi, a 10-year Anmore resident, said he has been a small business owner in Coquitlam for 30 years and decided to run in Coquitlam — not Anmore — because of the number of issues the city faces, especially in terms of its growth. “I have a commitment to Coquitlam,” he said. Meanwhile, Helps, who has represented the region for the Green Party at the provincial and national levels, said she’s living in Victoria and working for the party but also owns a condo in Port Moody. “If I get elected, I’ll be living in Port Moody full time,” she said, noting she has permission from her employer to work from home. jwarren@tricitynews.com – with files from Diane Strandberg

Coquitlam’s Lynch, who also has the paramedics’ support from CUPE Local 873, said he has received the NWDLC nod every time he has run for political office. Its mayoral endorsement “means the people that I have worked with and alongside over the last nine years recognize my ability to be the mayor of the city,” he said. Candidates who applied for endorsement were asked to fill out a questionnaire to give their views on topics such as Smart Growth, TransLink governance and P3 services; as well, they were asked to take part in a faceto-face interview. In a press release issued Wednesday, NWDLC secretary-treasurer Carolyn Rice said nearly half of its chosen candidates this year are new to the election race (Rice was not available for an interview on Wednesday or Thursday, before The Tri-City News went to press). NWDLC is one of 137 labour councils chartered by the Canadian Labour Congress. It has 123 affiliated unions representing more than 65,000 members in the Tri-Cities as well as Burnaby, New Westminster, Belcarra, Anmore, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Delta, Surrey, White Rock and the Langleys. Officials with CUPE, whose locals represent city and non-teaching school board employees, have yet to release their endorsement lists. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Time to consider growing again, says PM’s Trasolini By Diane Strandberg TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Coquitlam collected $1.8 million in casino cash this week.
$1.8M for city Coquitlam cashed in again this week when the provincial government poured $1.8 million into the city’s coffers from the Boulevard Casino. The quarterly payment of net proceeds from the United Boulevard venue now takes the city’s total received since the casino opened a decade ago to more than $77 million. The cash comes the same month city council disbursed more than $300,000 in gaming revenue to local community groups through its Spirit and Active grant programs. The money also comes a week before residents get the chance to comment on Great Canadian Casino’s bid to build an 11-storey hotel, convention centre, banquet hall, spa, lounge and new restaurant on the north side of its Boulevard Casino property. The public hearing will start on Monday at 7 p.m. in council chambers (3000 Guildford Way). Last month, city council offered no comment before unanimously passing first reading of a zoning text amendment bylaw to designate the site for a 181-room hotel that, if approved, would generate about 300 full- and part-time jobs. The application has been met with resistance from employees at the North Road Best Western Inn, many of whom say hotel rooms in the area are under-utilized; they are also concerned about job cuts if the Boulevard Casino’s hotel is built. jwarren@tricitynews.com
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Outgoing Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini is hoping to leave office with the Evergreen Line on track and a commitment to review the city’s development future. Trasolini told The Tri-City Newss yesterday that it’s time to review the city’s zero-to-minimal growth policy now that the provincial legislature is poised to pass a legislation to allow a gas tax hike of 2 cents a litre to finalize funding for the long-awaited rapid transit project. The mayor said he plans to bring forward a report to council next Tuesday recommending it take another look at the official community plan adopted in January that restricted growth based on current transportation infrastructure. “I’m simply bringing a report to council to start the process,� Trasolini said of the proposed review of the OCP, which is
a municipality’s statement of its long-term vision for the future The $1.4 billionrapid transit line from Burnaby to Coquitlam will enter Port Moody through an underground tunnel and travel through the city TRASOLINI along side the CP Rail tracks, stopping at the Port Moody and Ioco stations. A third station is proposed but would require justification through ridership and development. A change in the official community plan would enable the city to look at potential development along the line and do some planning in other special study areas but Trasolini said one of the key reasons for updating the OCP would be to meet population projections required in the Regional Growth Strategy, which was passed without the city being re-
quired to state growth targets until the Evergreen Line and the Murray-Clarke projects go ahead. Although the Murray-Clarke connector is still off TransLink’s priority list, the passage of legislation approving the gas tax hike means the Evergreen Line can go ahead. Transpor tation Minister Blair Lekstrom has promised to get the shovels in the ground “as quickly as possible� once a formal agreement with TransLink has been reached. The province is contributing $583 million to the line, the feds are putting in $417 million with TransLink adding its share of $400 million to the project, according to a government website. In addition to the gas tax hike, slated for April 2012, property taxes across the region will also have to rise on average $23 for two years unless an alternative source of funding is confirmed. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Pesticide claims are ‘untrue’ By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A provincial committee struck this week to look at banning the use of cosmetic pesticides in B.C. is gathering comments as Coquitlam council considers a new bylaw to prohibit use and sale of the chemicals in the city. At Monday’s engineering committee meeting, city staff are expected to present the draft regulations, which have already stirred up debate among gardening experts, health officials and environmentalists. The proposed bylaw, if passed, would ban cosmetic pesticides
IN QUOTES
“It’s frustrating to see [council] based their decision on scare tactics.” Vander Zalm from being sprayed on residential properties but it wouldn’t prohibit the products from being sold locally. Wim Vander Zalm of Art Knapp Plantland, which has a store in Port Coquitlam, said council is making a decision outside of its jurisdiction as Health Canada has approved — and regulated — cosmetic pesticides.
“It’s frustrating to see [council] based their decision on scare tactics,” he told The Tri-City News yesterday. “Their claims about pesticides are untrue and biased, and I think it’s unfortunate. To be honest, it’s also unconstitutional.” Vander Zalm said he has already submitted a letter to the new provincial committee, which is soliciting for online written, video or audio comments until Dec. 16 via www.leg. bc.ca/pesticidescommittee. It plans to release its final report on the topic by February. The non-partisan committee, which will have its first public meeting in Victoria on Wednesday, is made up
of MLAs Bill Bennett (chair, Kootenay East); Rob F leming (vicechair, Victoria-Swan Lake); Scott Fraser (Alberni-Pacific Rim); Barry Penner (Chilliwack-Hope); John Slater (BoundarySimilkameen); Ben S t e w a r t ( We s t s i d e Kelowna); John Ya p ( R i c h m o n d Stevenston); and Michael Sather (Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows), the NDP’s environment critic, who holds a bachelor of science degree in zoology. “Understanding how British Columbians feel about the use and sale of pesticides is an important element of the committee’s work,” Bennett said in a news
Odours will be contained at PoCo plant, says Salberg continued from front page
Org anic waste is sorted and placed into sealed containers — each about the size of a shipping container — where it remains for about two to three weeks. At the end of the process, soil and soil enhancement products are created, which the company can then sell. More than 100 of the containers will be located on the property, capable of handling 32,000 tonnes of waste per year, which yields about 16,000 tonnes of soil. Because of the sealed container technology, Salberg said the waste never touches t h e g ro u n d , wh i ch eliminates leaching and keeps odours contained. “Three of our plants have been operating in the U.S. for upwards of 11 years,” he said. “There has never been an odour complaint.” Wi t h m a n y m u nicipalities and Metro Vancouver placing a stronger emphasis on waste diversion from the landfill, Salberg said opening a facility in the Lower Mainland is a good business opportunity. Currently, the re gion collects about 285,000 tonnes of organic material annually, a number that is expected to jump to 400,000 by 2015. A PoCo facility would be a showcase for the region, he said, as the company prepares to open up several more disposal centres across the Lower Mainland. The city’s engineering department confirmed that it has been in preliminary discussions with Cascade about contracting its green waste
disposal but an agreement cannot be ironed out until all of the company’s approvals are in place. “There is going to be a greater and greater need,” said Laura Lee Richard, the PoCo’s director of development services. “What Metro Vancouver is going to need is more places where you can take green waste and turn it into compost.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Park stewards cry fowl over helicopter seeding By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A B.C. Ministry of Transportation decision to use helicopters to spray grass seed and fertilizer on grasslands populated by migrating birds at Colony Farm Regional Park this week had local naturalists and park stewards crying fowl. The spraying program was initiated to reseed an area being rehabilitated for fish habitat. A spokesperson for the Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project said the soil around the reclamation site was too soggy to do the job on foot and with trucks. But groups representing park stewards and environmentalists are upset they weren’t consulted or told earlier about the plan — only finding out Tuesday that helicopters would be flying over the park spraying seed for six to eight hours a day for the rest of the week. “This is a designated wildlife area at a sensitive time,” said Liz Thunstrom, a member of the Colony Far m Park Association. The park is an important staging ground for migratory birds to feed before resuming their long flights, according to bird banding research, and Thunstrom expressed concern the helicopters would disturb the birds and send them on their way without adequate fat stores. Elaine Golds, a director of the Burke
OTHER ECO COVERAGE ■ Water flow is being tested in PoMo’s Noons Creek: page 15 ■ Salmon’s journey a ‘remarkable biological saga’: page 25 Mountain Naturalists (and a The Tri-City News’ Green Scene columnist), said the lack of consultation and the decision to proceed with helicopter spraying show disregard for the wildlife, the park and its stewards. Golds said she was “shocked” to receive a bulletin Tuesday that the fly-overs had already begun, “We could expect at least a courtesy call to explain their rationale,” Golds said. A Metro Vancouver Parks spokesperson said the decision to aerial spray was weighed against the risk of letting the ground lie fallow until next spring, which could result in erosion and the spread of invasive weeds. “This is the ideal time for hydro seeding and they had done 20% when they encountered very wet soil,” Frieda Schade said. “They realized they couldn’t continue.” To reduce the effects on birds, helicopter spraying was delayed until late morning, after most bird activity takes place, and Schade said a biologist on site the first day found waterfowl, raptors and other birds

after the spraying was done. “T here’s been no wholesale scaring away of the birds but probably there are local effects,” she said, noting that acres of grassland remained untouched for
the birds to use. The aerial spraying was expected to conclude Friday, weather per mitting, and a spokesperson from PMH1 said delaying the helicopter flyovers until after 10 a.m. should minimize the disruption to birds. Max Logan also said it was an “oversight” that the park association wasn’t infor med about the spraying in advance but a construction bulletin was sent out to stakeholders. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Bus stop upgrades By Gary McKenna
SPEAK UP ON TRANSPORTATION
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Efforts to make bus travel easier for people with mobility issues are underway in Port Coquitlam but will likely take more than five years to complete. Currently, 34% of all bus stops in the municipality are considered wheelchair accessible by TransLink and that is expected to jump to 38% when 10 stops are upgraded in 2012. Dave Currie, the city’s manager of transportation, said at this rate, the city’s goal of 100% wheelchair accessibility at bus stops is in the range of five to 10 years away. Costs are the biggest hindrance to the effort, with the average upgrade running approximately $2,500, depending on the location. In order for a bus stop to be designated wheelchair accessible, the passenger landing area needs to be a certain width and the sidewalk needs to be widened. Areas that are on a hill can be particularly pricey to upgrade, and the city has opted to break up the work into phases over multiple years. Currie said the city
The city of Port Coquitlam has launched a survey asking residents to weigh in on the municipalities transportation system as it seeks to update its Master Transportation Plan. A short online survey will be on the city’s website (www.portcoquitlam.ca/mtp) until Nov. 4 and will be used to determine how people get around the city in the future. Input from the first phase of the consultation process, which included an open house earlier this week, will be considered as the document is drafted in November and December. The new Master Transportation Plan will update the one adopted in 2000 and will address the city’s current situation, objectives and strategies for reaching its transit goals. The online survey asks residents to set priorities for the transportation network as well as identify issues and challenges, potential improvements, and how the city should spend its transportation dollars in the future. gmckenna@tricitynews.com has previously completed many of the lower-cost locations and about $25,000 is being requested for the 2012 upgrade program. A city staff report said half of the funding is expected to be covered by the Coast Mountain Bus Company, which operates the routes. Locations are selected based on a number of factors, including usage and their importance in the overall bus route system. “We look at community requests and
transfer points between buses,” he said. “If a route has accessibility in one direction, we will look at accessibility in the other direction.” There are currently 230 bus stops in the city of Port Coquitlam and 65 of those are designated wheelchair accessible. • Residents who have suggestions for the placement of wheelchair accessible bus stops are encouraged to email dcurrie@portcoquitlam.ca or phone 604-927-5205. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Q WHAT WE THINK:
W
ith three mayoralty races, a few seats left open by incumbents bowing out and a wide range of candidates, from youthful newcomers to seniors, the Nov. 19 civic elections in the Tri-Cities should be among the more interesting in the province. Whether voters will agree is an open question. With more than 20 candidates vying for your vote in each city, it will take time to vet all of them to see who is most deserving. Is it worth the effort? Absolutely. The people who sit in council chambers are ultimately responsible for the property taxes you pay, the street-level services you get and how development will shape your community. While candidate websites don’t always lay out clearly how individuals will vote on an issue, they offer opportunities for direct contact so you can quiz them yourself. We urge you to take the time to question candidates on the issues that are important to you so you know where they stand. (We also urge you to read the city-specific VoteSmart voter guides that will be distributed in the Nov. 11 edition of The Tri-City News.)

Salmon mystery needs a complete answer AS I SEE IT Jeff Nagel
T
he battle of the scientists is over. More than 170 witnesses testified. Nearly 2,000 reports and documents were entered as evidence. Now, the Cohen Commission is preparing to decide why the Fraser River’s sockeye salmon have been in a dangerous downward spiral. Opponents of net-pen aquaculture have relentlessly spun the hearings as an open-shut case against salmon farms and stepped up campaigns to shut them down. It’s not quite that simple. Duelling researchers gave contradictory evidence on whether diseases or parasites from fish farms may be killing off wild sockeye. That doesn’t mean fish farms aren’t bad for salmon.
The farms may, as critics claim, act as a breeding ground for pathogens, transmitting them to passing wild salmon at a critically vulnerable stage in their migration. Much of the evidence before the inquiry, however, points to multiple different culprits, from ocean predators to changing water temperatures. The commission has also looked at everything from urban sewage and industrial pollution along the lower Fraser to the impacts of logging and mining upriver. A death-by-a-thousand-cuts verdict would admittedly be less satisfying than simply lynching one perceived bogeyman — one that we could definitely do something about. But B.C. needs the most complete answer to this fishy mystery it can get. It would be tragic if an eco-war succeeds in stamping out fish farms only to see B.C.’s wild sockeye continue to decline because we weren’t vigilant enough in uncovering other threats and trying to address them. Inquiry head Judge Bruce Cohen will

SOMETHING FISHY • Salmon fest Sunday: pg. 21 • A ‘remarkable saga’: pg. 25 hear final submissions from all sides in November before preparing his final report, due by next June. As the inquiry moves into its final phase, it’s important to remember that the loss of B.C.’s wild sockeye stocks would have farreaching repercussions beyond our dining choices. With the sockeye may go many of the orcas, bears, birds and even freshwater fish in parts of B.C. That’s because salmon are, in many ways, the lifeblood of our watersheds. They act like a pipeline, bringing ocean nutrients far upstream. Wildlife from tiny insects to the biggest predators feast on their spawned-out car-
casses and even trees are fertilized. Research has proven salmon act as an extension of the forest’s root system, allowing trees to draw nourishment not just from the immediate soil but from the krill of the North Pacific. The loss of wild salmon, some people fear, may loosen habitat-protection laws, opening B.C. not just to more fish farms and hatcheries but, also, hydro dams, offshore oil drilling and more industrial pollution. For First Nations, whose heritage, culture, traditional diet and social customs are so deeply interwoven with the salmon, their loss is unfathomable. Even if Judge Cohen fails to come up with a single suspect, we need his best assessment of what’s gone wrong and how we can keep this marvel of nature for generations to come.

FACE TO FACE: Do the Occupy protesters have legitimate gripes in Canada?
There’s help for those in need O
ne thing that is evident from the media coverage of the Occupy protests is that protesters can’t seem to agree on what they’re protesting about. Some are quoted as saying it’s a protest of income inequality. Some call it a demonstration against capitalism, disregarding recent reports showing capitalism in China has, in fact, lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. Others are claiming this protest is akin to the Arab Spring, in which citizens faced off against murderous dictators. How ridiculous. I’ll resist the temptation to label all these demonstrators as lazy, unemployed anarchists who look for any protest to join (although I believe a number of these protesters are just that). For the sake of argument, let’s suppose this is not a rent-a-protest and that demonstrators truly feel that they’re disadvantaged in our 21st century society. Certainly, with high unemployment rates and during an era of austerity, these are difficult times to be in the 18 to 35 demographic. But a disruptive and unfocused protest is waste of time. As a public service, I would like to offer protesters some other, more useful, tools for advancement.
First, the youth of Canada need to get involved in the political process: 63% of voters aged 18 to 24 years stayed home during the 2008 election. They could have made a difference. How many of them have joined political parties to help shape party policies? For those who are averse to big banks and high corporate executive salaries, move your money to credit unions and shop at small mom-andpop stores. And and the risk of sounding heartless, I would also advise protesters to learn the age old lesson: We reap what we sow. Did those bad bankers force people to buy houses they couldn’t afford? Did the bankers make people run up their credit card bills? Did anyone force university grads to take student loans for university programs that wouldn’t help them get a job? Thankfully, Canada is not America. We have many programs in this country to help people get on, and back on, their feet. We’ve got government-funded safety nets in the form of Employment Insurance, welfare, job retraining programs, entrepreneurial programs, etc. Canada is a fair country. So, tell me, what are the Occupy people protesting about?

he 1950s and ’60s sitcom Leave it to Beaverr depicted the trivial travails of an American one-income family. Ward Cleaver trotted off to work each day while an impeccably dressed June stayed home to unravel the zany predicaments Beaver and Wally got into. It was a typical, though antiseptic, prosperous, upper middle class existence. One need not be acquainted with the Beaver to know that prosperous, one-income, upper middle class families are a thing of the past. Were Leave it to Beaverr set in 2011, June would be working fulltime. She and Ward might have lost their home and Wally and the Beav would likely have joined the burgeoning Occupy Wall Street movement, which this week spilled over into the streets of Canada. Although last Saturday’s demonstrations in Canada could hardly be compared to the storming of the Bastille, they are at least an expression of the collective dissatisfaction North Americans feel towards a 30-year loss of middle class prosperity. Admittedly, the protesters are a bit of a motley crew, without leadership and focus. This only shows that unlike the American Tea Party, Occupy Canada is a grass
roots movement not yet propped up or manipulated by a political party or special interest group. Their eclectic look and scattergun complaints will likely allow espousers of trickle-down economics to focus on this and dismiss them as having legitimate concerns. But no one can doubt the undeniable point that unites them: the increasingly obscene gap between rich and poor in North America, the former having seen almost all the benefits of any gain in prosperity over the past three decades Choose your own shocking statistic — they are increasingly more available and stark. How about: Over the past 33 years, the top 1% of Canadians has increased their incomes by 300% while working Canadians have increased their wages by $1,500. Is it any wonder people are protesting? With any luck, Occupy Canada will ultimately focus on what is really required to save our economy and the country — a redistribution of wealth from the ludicrously rich to the working and middle class. Perhaps then Ward and June Cleaver would get their house back and once more tackle the weighty problems befalling Wally and the Beav.

The Editor, Less than a month now before we go to the voting booth to cast our ballots in the municipal elections, I urge everyone eligible to participate in the democratic process. I will cast my ballot bearing in mind the huge tax increases the present Coquitlam administration has imposed on us in the past term of office and who is the most likely to resist tax increases. With the foregoing in mind, I have already struck two individuals off the list for the following reason: Both Mayor Richard Stewart and Coun. Selena Robinson have made it clear that they intend to push to reduce the required tax payments for businesses in the municipality, which will have the effect of homeowners footing business’ share of the bill. In addition, I will not be voting for Terry O’Neill, who is running for a seat on Coquitlam council. In a recent newspaper column, Mr. O’Neill attacked public unions and I must say I was shocked at his condemnation of their right to collective bargaining. In his attack, he espouses the Wisconsin union-busting attempt and the Penticton city council’s use of blackmail (my word) in order to achieve a two-tier wage system. I regularly complain about incessant increases in taxes but I don’t blame the frontline workers for the increases. They have to bargain for any pittance they are able to achieve
The Editor, Turning the Port Mann bridge into a park is one of the silliest ideas ever. While I haven’t seen the New York High Line, I have read many articles about it and have actually seen and walked several times on Paris’ Promenade Plantée. Both parks are located smack in the middle of densely populated areas in their respective cities — near subway and bus lines, cafes, restaurants, stores, etc. — not in the middle of nowhere like the Port Mann Bridge.

gardening should be seen as a form of agriculture and that this ought to be reviewed; this would certainly help accommodate the hundreds of people waiting for a plot in an ever-increasing population with less and less green space.

Testing done at Noons Creek By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Brilliant green and red, non-toxic dye was poured into Noons Creek earlier this week in order to find cracks in the sanitary system and determine the course of the stream’s water flow.
T he city of Por t Moody and Fisheries and Oceans Canada were on hand to administer the test, which Julie Pavey, the manager of parks and environment, said was routine. “What we are looking at is water flows around the water intake struc-
ture,” said Pavey. “It is used to detect leaks in the storm and sanitary flows.” A small crack in the system was found, she added, but the seepage can be easily obstructed with sandbags. The dye is an emerald green or red colour and is considered safe for
fish and wildlife living in the stream. A tester dumps a cup of the dye into the water while another person follows the flow in the stream. If the dyed water flows in an unexpected direction, of ficials investigate whether there is a crack in the sanitary system.
New dog park planned for PoCo Dog owners in downtown Port Coquitlam will not have to travel far to let their fourlegged friends enjoy a bit of time off leash. A new fenced space is being set up on a a third of an acre located in a utility right-ofway off Maple Street at Bury Avenue. The land will provide dog owners living the area an alternative to running their dogs on the trails or at Gates Park, where off-leash dogs are not permitted. The area will be surfaced with wood chips and will feature a small seating area, with trees and shrubs creaking a natural buffer from nearby homes. It will be accessed from both the Traboulay PoCo Trail and Maple Street. Of f-leash do gs at Gates Park have been a source of constant complaints from park users and the city hopes the new facility will alleviate the issue. The city’s Animal Control Bylaw requires all dogs to be leashed in all public spaces other than designated offleash areas. It’s estimated there are 9,000 dogs in PoCo and of f-leash areas were identified as a significant need when the city developed its Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan in 2007. In 2010, the city opened its first off-leash dog park in the 3300block of Shaughnessy Street. Sites in Citadel Heights and in northeast PoCo are also being considered as money becomes available over
the next few years. For more infor mation about the city’s services for dogs, go to www.portcoquitlam.ca/ dogs. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Dogs in Port Coquitlam will have a new place to exercise after the city began work on a new offleash park in the city’s downtown.

Braidwood bail hearing next week By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A former Canadian Football League player a r r e s t e d o n we a p ons charges in Port Coquitlam last month will seek bail at a hearing next week. A d a m B r a i dwo o d has been in custody since Sept. 25, after a Coquitlam RCMP officer who was directing traffic for the Terry Fox Run was confronted by a man carrying what was believed to be a gun. T h e 2 8 - ye a r- o l d ’s lawyer, Kris Pechet, told The Tri-City News last week that the case is complicated by the fact Braidwood has outstanding legal issues in Alberta. If he receives bail in B.C., he said, there is a possibility his recent arrest will mean he breached his bail conditions set out be the Alberta Crown dealing
with his previous arrest. Braidwood’s previous legal troubles date back to November 2010, when witnesses reported seeing an injured man being stuffed into the trunk of a car. Following the incident, Braidwood he was charged with forcible confinement and aggravated assault. While on bail, he was again arrested on charges of domestic assault, uttering threats and weapons offences. Braidwood is a former Washington State football product and was drafted first overall in the 2006 CFL Canadian draft but was released by the Eskimos in April because of his legal issues. He was Edmonton’s nominee for the Outstanding Rookie award in 2006 but a knee injury forced him to sit out the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

Search for Imanpour continues By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A public plea for help from the family of an elderly Iranian man missing since late last month has yielded several tips but the family’s search for their father continues. Jafar Imanpour went missing from a Port Coquitlam neighbourhood late last month after going for what was supposed to be a 15-minute walk in the Toronto Street area. He has not been seen since and it was only after police held a press conference with the family recently
that investigators be g an receiving information from the pubIMANPOUR lic. “Before the last news conference, there were absolutely no calls from anyone,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “Now we are receiving a few tips. Hopefully we will find him soon.” Imanpour had been visiting from Iran and he left his son’s home on the evening of Sept. 25. The 74-year-old does
not have a history of dementia but the family said he may not be taking heart medication, which could cause him to be confused and disoriented. Imanpour is described as an Iranian man, 5’11” tall, weighing approximately 190 lb. He is balding with white hair and a white moustache, and was last seen wearing a dark blue ball cap, black jacket, blue jeans, black runners and glasses. When he left the home he did not have his wallet, money or a phone. At the recent press conference, Imanpour’s son, Hossein Imenpour,
issued a public plea in Farsi, hoping that his father would hear the message and come home. “Where have you gone?” he said. “We are all waiting for you. Mom and the rest of the family are waiting for your return and we want to see you as soon as possible. If you can see me or hear my voice, please contact the police.” Imanpour does not speak English and does not know anyone in the area other than his family. Anyone with any information is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550.

A P o r t Coquitlam man is facing charges after 20 lb. of marijuana and several improperly stored rifles were seized from a rural property approximately 25 km east of Burns Lake. A marijuana grow operation had been set up in an outbuilding on the property, according to police, and investigators said most of the pot was harvested and readied for distribution before officers arrived. Police seized the drugs, guns, ammunition and equipment used to grow the marijuana. The 41-year-old PoCo man was arrested along with four others, including two people from Mission and a 24-year-old from Smithers. Police believe that at least three of the accused lived on the property. All four have been released and are expected to appear in court next month.

Garbage incinerator for Metro an election issue Potential sites in Surrey, Burnaby, New West and TFN land By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
The willingness of local cities to host a controversial new wasteto-energy incinerator to burn much of the region’s garbage is emerging as a civic election issue in parts of Metro Vancouver. Some challengers for Surrey council oppose a new waste incinerator coming to Surrey after the incumbent council almost sold city land for that purpose earlier this year in a now-lapsed option to Aquilini Renewable Energy. Aquilini president John Negrin said his firm is still interested in the Campbell Heights industrial property in southeast Surrey, near the Langley border, as a potential site for a trashfuelled power plant. The firm also lists T s aw w a s s e n F i r s t Nation land as a potential site. “There are others around the Lower Mainland we’re taking a look at,” Negrin said, adding competing firms in the hunt for the waste project are also scouring the region. Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele said the majority of the sitting Surrey council wants to host a plant. “We want waste-toenergy in Surrey,” she said. “It’s not unanimous, but I think most of us are willing to go for it.” But it will be up to new councils elected in each city to signal their interest as Metro begins to call for bids sometime in 2012. Many local councillors have become convinced waste-to-energy systems can safely use garbage as a resource after touring modern incinerators in European cities over the past several years. But if they’re unseated by skeptics in

Waste-to-energy garbage incinerators are expected to be a hot topic in the upcoming civic election. N ove m b e r, M e t r o ’s waste-to-energy strategy could be in for a rougher ride. N o r t h Va n c o u ve r City Mayor Dar rell Mussatto, who previously said a new waste plant could tie into the Lower Lonsdale district heating network, now predicts sites in other cities will prove more suitable. He said it may be a local campaign issue, but added most Metro residents — unlike those in the Fraser Valley — are accepting of wasteto-energy plants. New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright said a 50-acre industrial site at Braid Street and Brunette Avenue is likely a prime site for a new incinerator. But he said New West council has “almost no choice” because Port Metro Vancouver owns the land and is likely negotiating directly with waste-to-energy firms. “They’re the ones that
say what goes there,” Wright said, adding he would try to ensure his city gets some economic benefit if the site is used. Bur naby Mayor Derek Corrigan said his council hasn’t formally decided whether to pursue a second waste-toenergy plant. “If it was a desirable place we would certainly consider it,” he said. “We have no fear of the technology.” The existing incinerator is at the south edge of the city near the Fraser River, far from most of Burnaby’s population, but close to homes in New Westminster’s Queensborough area. Corrigan said a similar south Burnaby location might work for a second, more advanced plant, particularly if garbage could be barged to a riverside plant, rather than adding to local truck traffic. A town centre site wouldn’t be supported,

he suggested, because of public concern about burning garbage. “People feel, whether it’s true or not, an incinerator of garbage very close to their homes is problematic,” Corrigan said. The current incinerator burns about 285,000 tonnes of waste per year, while Metro Vancouver needs a new plant or plants to handle an extra 500,000 tonnes of waste per year that will no longer be trucked to the Cache Creek regional landfill. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said her city isn’t pursuing the plant. “You never close the door on anything but
we’re not looking for it,” she said. “We’ve got enough trucks.” Aquilini Renewable Energy is just one of several firms expected to bid to turn Metro’s garbage into power, along with Waste Management Inc. and Covanta Energy, which runs the existing Burnaby incinerator and aims to start a new one at Gold River on Vancouver Island. Fraser Valley politicians strongly oppose any in-re gion plant on grounds it would worsen air pollution, so shipping Metro garbage to the Island may ease those concerns. But a plant built in the region — particularly in
a dense or industrialized area — could be much cheaper for taxpayers because heat could be sold to nearby buildings at a greater profit than turning it into electricity. The Metro Vancouver board must still decide how the process unfolds, including whether to build a new plant publicly or outsource it to a private partner as a P3. Options range from conventional mass-burn incineration — with much more moder n scrubbing systems — to emerging waste-to-energy technologies that are largely unproved but promise ultra-low emissions.

A wide-open process may produce a mishmash of hard-to-compare proposals using different technologies, sites and business models. A Metro official said it may be best to decide one or more of those variables before seeking bids.Impact on the environment and the cost to taxpayers are expected to be key considerations, although any method of assessing them is likely to be contentious. A detailed study of potential health risks is expected and Metro is required to work with the Fraser Valley Regional District to address air quality concerns. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Salmon & their ‘remarkable biological saga’ GREEN SCENE Elaine Golds
WELCOME HOME The Hoy Creek Salmon Come Home event this Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. provides an opportunity to view mature salmon in Hoy Creek in Coquitlam. On Sunday, Nov. 13 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Hyde Creek Salmon Festival offers similar views of salmon behind the Hyde Creek rec centre in Port Coquitlam. At both events, community groups will be present with environmental displays and Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff will be on hand (and in the creek) to answers questions about spawning salmon. See you there.
B
y mid-October, adult salmon are beginning to move into local creeks in search of a mate and clean gravel for spawning. Only a few years earlier, they emerged from this same streambed as young salmon. The return of these salmon to their birthplace in small streams where they will spawn and die is one of the more remarkable biological sagas of the Pacific coast. Unlike Atlantic salmon, which can survive after spawning and return to the ocean, all species of Pacific salmon face certain death once they spawn. Biologists now understand the decaying bodies of these mature salmon fertilize streams and help to ensure the survival of the next generation. Nonetheless, there is something very inspiring about the ultimate sacrifice these adult salmon instinctively make for their offspring. When the settlement of greater Vancouver began in the late 1800s, the value of small streams was totally unappreciated. As a consequence, far too many streams were buried underground. While these streams continue to convey rainwater to the ocean, they have forever lost the ability to produce salmon and support many other species. Most of the streams in the older part of Port Moody, which was the terminus of the transcontinental railway in 1886, suffered this fate. Fortunately, over the decades, as development has converted ever more forests to suburbs, an appreciation for the value of urban streams has grown tremendously. As a consequence, some urban streams have escaped the fate of being reduced to an underground pipe. A few of these streams now have small hatcheries where volunteers work to enhance public appreciation for streams and incubate some eggs within the hatchery as insurance
program introduced this fall by the Pacific Salmon Foundation and Fraser Basin Council involves working with local farmers to ensure their agricultural practices do not harm salmon streams. Their certification process requires a visit to the farm and a rigourous review of irrigation and fertilization practices, soil maintenance and pesticide applications. This program, initiated in Oregon in 1996, provides an eco-label for Salmon-Safe practices (see www.salmonsafe.ca for more information). Obviously, organic growers are good candidates to acquire Salmon-Safe certification. To date, 22 farms in B.C. have been certified; these include the Glen Valley Organic Farm, which sells produce at the Coquitlam Farmers Market, and some farmers who supply the local Thrifty Foods stores. Autumn provides excellent opportunities for local residents to enjoy spectacular views of large salmon spawning in small urban streams. While all species of Pacific salmon use the Coquitlam River, our smaller streams typically provide spawning habitat for only chum and coho salmon.

Children and adults can learn about the salmon in local streams at the Salmon Come Home Festival. against catastrophic failures in the natural environment. All of us, in many different ways, can have an impact on the survival of salmon in these urban streams. For example, most of us drive cars, which sometimes leak oil. Any oil deposited on city streets will eventually be carried by rainfall to storm drains and then into local streams, where it can become a major source of pollution. Even the soap suds from washing cars and chlorine from garden hoses are harmful chemicals if they reach the stream environment. Choosing not to use weed-killers and other pesticides in your garden will help to keep harmful chemicals out of local streams. Cigarette butts, often discarded on streets,
contain a variety of harmful chemicals, including carcinogens. Carried by rainfall, these butts can deliver a harmful load of toxic chemicals into urban streams. Animal wastes that are not properly disposed of can also contribute to the burden of noxious chemicals in urban streams. While trails close to streams can provide an awesome view of spawning salmon this time of year, it is important to avoid disturbing these salmon or damaging their fragile eggs. Dog owners, in particular, should be aware that dogs can do a great deal of damage if they are allowed in streams at any time from fall to spring. Even the groceries you purchase can have an impact on salmon. A new “Salmon-Safe”

From Coquitlam to Uganda, with love Pop singer and pre-school aids group building school in Africa By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
In the 1980s, artist Joey Albert put dozens of songs on tape and performed to thousands of people in concert halls around the world. These days, however, her main audience are the pre-school aged kids at the Good Shepherd Daycare in Coquitlam, where she is an instructor. But in much the same way she spread her talents as a musician and pop singer, Albert is hoping to share education with people around the world. She has teamed
up with local charity organization Meaningful Volunteer and work has begun to set up a preschool in Uganda based on the Good Shepherd curriculum. “It is the kind of work that I have known all my life and I am passionate about it,� she said. “They [Meaningful Volunteer] said they really wanted to set up a pre-school in Uganda and I said I would help.� Albert launched her singing career in the Philippines in the 1980s, receiving a gold record for her hit Tell Me. She still sings — recently performing to a packed house the River Rock Casino — but said her focus is on helping children. She hopes to raise money for the Ugandan initiative by donating a portion of the fees at
her daycare and asking for help from the community. “That way, each child in our daycare learns about stewardship,� she said. “I see it as a winwin for both.� Megin Alvarez, the operator of Meaningful Volunteer, said there is a fee for the pre-school for financial sustainability but added that no child will be turned away. Ugandan families without the resources to pay for the service can volunteer their time in the school’s edible garden. Meaningful Volunteer has already established itself in the Ugandan town of Buyaya, where it erected a solar panel at a local school, bringing power to the town. Alvarez said the preschool is an extension of its efforts.
Alvarez, whose family is from the Philippines, grew up in Canada and said she did not realize how popular Albert was until she had a conversation with her parents. “She is a very famous singer and song writer in the Philippines,� she said. “I just know her as this beautiful, kind
and down-to-earth preschool teacher from Coquitlam.�

Halloween isn’t just about dressing up and eating candy — it also provides fun opportunities to learn, according to ABC Life Literacy Canada. Embracing the literacy activities already happening in your life makes it easier to ensure your family is getting 15 minutes of learning experiences a day. In a press release, ABC Life Literacy Canada reminds families to practise literacy skills at Halloween with some literacy tips, tricks and treats: • Tell ghost stories on Halloween night. Make up your own stories or read a classic scary book together. • Organize Halloween candy in different ways. Organize by shape, size, candy name, or even candy type — and then trade. This activity helps to reinforce basic math along with association and matching skills. • Bake a pumpkin pie.

Telling ghost stories or baking a pumpkin pie are two ways for families to promote learning and literacy, according to ABC Life Literacy Canada.
For Halloween safety tips: see article, page 33 Following recipes is a great way to improve both reading and math skills. Children can read the instructions out loud to help measure the ingredients when making a treat for the family.
• Research the history of Halloween and share spooky statistics. As well, parents and children can create their own Halloween-themed e-book with Energizer’s Power of Reading program. Visit promotions. energizer.ca/powerofreading to access the story builder and watch your story unfold. Literacy benefits the entire family and is con-
stantly happening in our daily lives, according to ABC Life Literacy Canada.

The leaves are turning and there’s a chill in the air signalling a change in the season. In this photo, taken Oct. 7 in Port Moody, a yearling bear cub fell asleep under a tree after eating fallen apples. “Residents are reminded to pick their fruit when ripe and to collect fallen fruit from the ground. Waste fruit can be put into the yard waste cart or a home compost bin,” said Port Moody environmental services technician Rick Saunier, who submitted the photo. The bear was subsequently nudged back into the woods by conservation officers and Saunier said the remaining fruit was picked by the homeowner after the incident.

Heed Halloween safety tips Halloween is a fun time for children but it carries with it some common potential injuries. E a c h y e a r, B C Children’s Hospital and BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) attend to many preventable injuries involving cars and trickor-treaters, burns from fireworks, falls, choking and cuts from pumpkincarving. This year, the hospital and BCAS are partnering to provide tips for parents to keep little ghosts and goblins safe and happy this time of year. “Kids are excited at Halloween. There is lots of nervous energy and lots of activities happening, so parents and kids can be easily distracted,â€? Dr. Shelina Babul, associate director and sports injury specialist, BC Injury and Research Prevention Unit at BC Children’s, said in a press release. “It only takes a few seconds for an injury to occur but by thinking ahead you can safeguard your kids and enjoy the day and evening.â€? Some tips courtesy of BC Children’s Hospital and BCAS: • Be seen: Parents and children should wear bright costumes or clothing made of flame-resistant material with reflective tape, or carry light sticks or a flashlight — it’s important that motorists can see you clearly. Make eye contact with motorists. Consider trick-ortreating in a group and staying together. Don’t forget to: stop, look left, right and left again — before crossing the street. Always cross the street at corners and crosswalks. If there isn’t a sidewalk, walk beside the road or street facing traffic. • Can you see clearly?: Face painting is often a safer choice for trickor-treaters than a mask, which can obscure vision. Stay on sidewalks and driveways and off of lawns and gardens. Go up one side of the street and down the other rather than crossing the street between houses. Avoid alleys, parking lots, wooded areas and vacant lots. • Dress appropriately: To prevent falls, make sure your child’s costume fits well and it isn’t too long or has too much loose fabric. Dress for the weather, so your child and you are comfortable and warm. • Adult supervision: Young children should always have a responsible adult escorting them door-to-door on Halloween. Skip past houses that don’t have their porch lights on and avoid animals that

Instead, they can be creative and draw a face on the pumpkin or dress it up with colourful fall leaves or other safe materials. Parents should use a flashlight or a light stick to illuminate a pumpkin rather than a candle. Children are attracted to candles but
they don’t understand flames are hot and can cause serious harm. • Check treats thoroughly: Parents and children should make sure all treats are checked by an adult before eating. Discard treats that aren’t in sealed packaging or look suspicious. When in doubt, throw it out. • Choking: Choking occurs most frequently among children under two years of age but choking can happen at
any age. Do not give children under five years of age popcorn, hard candy, nuts or balloons. When kids are eating candy, parents should have them sit at a table since eating while playing, running, jumping or talking can lead to a choking episode. Parents and caregivers should learn what to do in a choking emergency, including the choking rescue procedure (known as the Heimlich manoeuvre), because the correct response can save a child’s life. Information is available through HealthLink BC (www.healthlinkbc.ca). • Firework safety: To be safest, plan family fun and activities that don’t include fireworks. Children should never hold lit fireworks — a sparkler can burn as hot as 700 C and will not go out even when doused in water. Parents should check with their municipality or district as fireworks may be banned or specific permits may be required. If you insist on using fireworks,
only purchase them from a reliable source, and always read and follow the label directions as 30% of injuries are caused by illegal or homemade fireworks. Keep water or appropriate fire extinguisher nearby when lighting fireworks. Parents and older children should watch the video “Just a firework, two buddies and a bombâ€? available through the BC Professional Fire Fighters Bur n Fund website at www.burnfund.org. • Slow down and watch for pedestrians: Drivers are advised to slow down and drive with extra caution at Halloween. Children are easily distracted and difficult to see in dark costumes, particularly if they run out between parked cars.

Knee Pain
EXEMP
T
My knees have been bothering me for 12 years. I have been a letter carrier for 30 years and an avid cyclist. I have spent too many nights lying awake with pain. I have tried physiotherapy, with short term results. I recently tried laser light therapy and after just 7 sessions I feel much better. I can now walk and go up and down stairs without pain at the end of the day. I highly recommend giving this a try. It works!

Knee Pain
For the last 5 or 6 years, I have been kept awake many nights with pain in my left knee. I tried various treatments and oral supplements which turned out less than satisfactory. After completing about a dozen or so sessions of Laser therapy, my knee pain, while not completely eliminated, has been largely reduced and I can enjoy my daily walks again.

Hanging Squash-o’-Lanterns Han
Roasted pumpkin seeds What’s more fun, scraping out the pumpkin or roasting the seeds and eating them? Look at it this way: crunchy, salty pumpkin seeds are a great reward for the hard work of carving a jack o’ lantern. Your children can season and mix the seeds and then spread them on a baking sheet. INGREDIENTS: • 300 g (10 1/2 oz) pumpkin seeds • 30 ml (2 tbsp) oil • 5 ml (1 tsp) salt
Remove when the seeds are crisp and golden. • Taste and add extra salt if desired.
PREPARATION: • Preheat the oven to 175 oC (350 oF). • Rinse the seeds under cold water, removing all the ¿brous strings. Dry them thoroughly and place them in a big bowl. Add the oil and salt and mix well so that all the seeds are well coated. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
VARIATIONS: • Herbed seeds: use olive oil and add one tbsp each of dried basil and rosemary. • Spicy seeds: add two tsp of chilli powder and salt. • Curried seeds: add a tbsp of curry and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• Choose small squash or large root vegetables, such as turnips. • Cut off the tops and discard. • Remove all the seeds and hollow out the insides with an ice-cream scoop or a melon baller, until the sides are half a centimetre thick. • Using a felt pen, draw the outline of a face on a vegetable, then cut it out with a serrated knife. Do the same for each lantern. • With a metal skewer, make a small hole towards the top, on both sides of the face. Thread a piece of twine or a leather shoe lace through each hole, cut it to the right length, and knot it on the inside. • Cover the bottom with a ssmall piece of aluminum foil, position a tea candle on the foil, and light it. • Hang the lanterns on a tree branch, a post, or along a clotheslline. For an indoor decorration, string them in a garlaand above the ¿replace. Crraft project and ph hotograph: Halloween Treats - Chronicle Books T

Quick! A costume!
You hadn’t planned on celebrating Halloween this year, but you’ve just received an invitation that you can’t refuse? Where on earth can you ¿nd a great costume at the last minute? Here are a few simple tricks to make your evening a dress-up success. Costumes made on the spur of the moment are often the favourites of the evening. For a classic Halloween standby, a retro hippy look can be created with a headband, chunky necklaces, round glasses, colourful clothes, and a pair of sandals. A country look can be invented with a big straw hat and a long dress in neutral tones. With an old shirt, a torn hat, and some grey or black makeup you can transform yourself into a road-weary hobo.
How about going regal? With an colourful dress, small hat, and gloves, you could quickly turn into a Queen Elizabeth lookalike. For another retro look, think Dynasty: ¿nd a structured dress straight out of the 80s, add some shoulder pads, some sequins in geometric shapes, and put on some stiletto heels. Add a blond wig with square bangs, lots of black eyeliner, and some giant sunglasses, and you’ll be Lady Gaga! For a costume with even more originality, get out some old black umbrellas from the back of your closet. With a bit of hot glue and some good scissors, you could make yourself some bat wings to glue on to some old black clothes. With coloured umbrellas, you could even make yourself a mushroom, jelly¿sh, or extraterrestrial costume.
You can quickly make yourself an original costume from a few odds and ends found at the back of the closet.

Creepy… but safe! The enthusiasm of little ghosts, super heroes and terrifying monsters during Halloween can sometimes cause them to forget some basic safety rules which they have already been taught. Parents are there to remind them of these rules but also to enforce a few instructions in order to make Halloween celebrations in the street or at home as creepy as they are safe. Advice on trick or treating 1. Children should always be accompanied by an adult. 2. Clothing should be brightly coloured or be made of reecting fabric. 3. Children should only trick or treat in neighbourhoods they know well. 4. Check all the candy. If anything is suspect, consult the police. 5. Avoid masks which hinder vision. Use makeup instead. 6. Avoid costumes which are too long. Children can trip and fall. 7. Dress your children in warm clothing and give them ashlights.
Even if they are creepy and menacing, your little monsters need you to protect them.
Advice on welcoming ghosts 1. Switch on outside lights so visitors feel welcome. 2. Be careful with candles and where you place them. Avoid putting them in a busy area, as candles, illuminated pumpkins and vampire candlesticks are re hazards. 3. Trying to scare your visitors by wearing contact lenses which change the colour of your eyes is not recommended. These should only be worn under the supervision of an eye specialist. 4. Your bowls of candy should not contain any products which could cause choking such as gum, peanuts and hard candy.

Start with the proper pots when looking to containers for cold-weather colour
604-250-0594 www.gordonbarthels.com
O
ver the next two seasons, when the weather turns cooler and wetter with shorter hours of daylight, wouldn’t it be wonderful to brighten up your patio with some great winter colour? Enhancing our patios with colourful containers is easier than you may think. You just need a different strategy for winter. First: the containers. Terracotta in our climate is not the best for winter. Well fired, quality pots with a lacquer finish are usually fine, but most inexpensive clay absorbs moisture and is more susceptible to cracking and chipping in winter. Well fired ceramics are fine as are zinc, resin and well made plastic containers. As a rule of thumb, the larger the container, the better the plants do in winter conditions, simply because of the larger soil mass. For a nicer look, try grouping the planters together and if you can, varying the heights. Soil is a key issue in winter. Open, porous, well drained soil is a must. Regular potting soils hold too much moisture that tends to rot roots. Your best bet is to get a quality potting soil and add a third of bark mulch. This is essentially a nursery mix which is ideal for all winter plants. Most hardy plants will thrive in containers over winter and with cooler temperatures will need minimal maintenance. They will, however, need to be kept moist, especially if the containers are under eaves. The main winter issue is the degree of cold temperatures. Hardy plants in winter containers will do nicely down to about -8°C. Beyond that they need some protection. The easiest shelter is to simply create a protected area that is insulated properly to keep the containers out of severely cold winds and deep freeze conditions. On patios, it is easier to wrap insulating materials, like the new ‘N-Sulate’, around the pots and plants. As soon as the worst of the cold is over, simply store these materials and your pot is good to

go until it gets severely cold again. As you select your plants, remember to ruffle up the rootballs a bit so they are more flexible and easier to fit into your containers. Pack your plants in tightly to get that attractive full look you are hoping for. I like using tall, thin unique conifers or broadleaved evergreens as focal points and surrounding them with colourful heucheras, evergreen euphorbias and evergreen grasses. Berries liven up planters nicely, and small pyracanthus, wintergreen, compact evergreen cotoneasters, trailing sedums, rich purple ajugas and violas add that special finishing touch. Popping in some stems of contorted willows or filberts add height and drama, and if you add mini lights or new LED lights, you’ll be able to enjoy the container at night as well. If you’ve never created your own winter container before, you’ll be surprised how easy it is and how attractive it looks. So much beautiful evergreen foliage is available today, that even without flowers, these containers can be stunning. Now is the time to add new life for a new season on your patio, so be adventurous and creative with all today’s exciting new winter plants.

Try fly cast for salmon TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz Method never pursued much
JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
RIDING HIGH Julian Klaric of the Port Moody Black Panthers leaps to check the Grandview Steelers’ Cody Rowand in a recent Pacific International Jr. B hockey league tilt in Port Moody.
Overtime blues plague Black Cats By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
If it were the playoffs, the Port Moody Black Panthers would be done. The Cats suffered their league-high fourth overtime loss in a mere nine Pacific International Jr. B hockey league games Wednesday via a 6-5 defeat to the host Aldergrove Kodiaks. In the post-season, those would result in heart-breaking losses. In the regular season, they garner one point each in the standings, meaning the 4-1-4 Cats now lead the five-team Harold Brittain Conference race with
a total of 12, two more than the second-place Abbotsford Pilots. Despite the Cats rather lofty status, general manager Ron Luniw is hardly satisfied with his squad’s recent woes in extra time.. “We gave another [win] away,” Luniw groused. “We got one point out of it but one’s not enough when you can get two.” The OT loss was the second in three games for the Cats, who fell 5-4 last Thursday to the lowly Icebreakers in Mission before bouncing back to trim Aldergrove 3-2 Saturday in Port
Moody. “Against Mission, I don’t think our guys were 100 per cent prepared and when you’re not prepared you’re not going to win,” Luniw said. “I believe we do have a good hockey team that can compete with anybody. We really should be 8-1 but we have to learn to hold the lead.” Which is precisely what the Cats failed to do Wednesday, letting a 3-0 second-period margin escape when the Kodiaks pumped in four straight
goals. The Cats rebounded with back-toback markers by Martin Campbell and Trevor Kang to take a 5-4 advantage, only to lose it on a senseless icing call that resulted in the Kodiaks’ Alex Feighan scoring on the ensuing faceoff with 12 seconds left in regulation time. Robert Jang the netted the winner 2:47 into OT. Shots in the game were dead even at 47 apiece. Rino Minni, Sheldon Vanerus and Richard Moul also tallied for the Cats, who host Abby tomorrow (Saturday) at PoMo Rec Complex, 7:45 p.m.
“A few years ago, trolling was considered the only way to catch pacific coast salmon. Then, spinning was discovered to be a successful method. There were, however, a few men who always used a fly and others who occasionally did, but it has never been followed up as it should, though it is a pretty well-acknowledged fact that coho salmon will take the fly freely and the spring salmon occasionally…” I have always found it ironic that fly fishing for our west coast salmon was never really pursued until 70 years after A. Bryan Williams penned those words. It has taken one hundred years but now many fly cast for our heritage fish. I am thankful that the pioneering of this fishery was done in my lifetime and that I was fortunate enough to take part in that heritage.
THE REPORT Fishing on our Lower Mainland lakes is good, while our bass and panfish fishing is hot. Fishing on our Interior lakes is also good. The Fraser River is fishing well for spring, pink, chum and cutthroat. The Stave River is fair for pink, chum and coho. The Vedder River is good for spring, pink and coho. The Harrison River is good for spring, pink, coho, chum and spring.
COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SOCCER PLAYERS of the WEEK ZAC CHADDERTON
AMBER ODENWALD
ZAC CHADDERTON, of the Under 18 Cobras, is a dynamic player with great speed. He continually shows his dominance on the field by moving the ball with precision and accuracy. In a recent game, Zac demonstrated his skills by taking several free kicks and corner kicks that generated some excellent goalscoring chances. Zac’s aggressive style makes him an intimidating attacker and also a fierce defender. At the recent Pitt Meadows tournament, Zac was awarded all 3 MVP awards! For his outstanding performances over the past few weeks, ZAC CHADDERTON has been selected as Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week!
AMBER ODENWALD, of the Under 14 Benfica, has led by example with her excellent performances and tireless work ethics during games and at training sessions. She is co-captain of Benfica and a member of the provincial program. Amber has performed remarkably well during the early stages of this season and has earned the reputation of being a hard working midfielder who has the ability to defend and attack. She has become a real leader for her team and has been a driving force in her team’s early success in the 2011-2012 season. For her excellent performances during the first part of the season, AMBER ODENWALD has been chosen Coquitlam Metro-Ford Female Player of the Week.
