COQUITLAM: Getting ready for Evergreen

If the city of Coquitlam hopes to welcome the Evergreen Line, build a new library and manage growth in its next term, members of city council will have to set aside their past political differences and build consensus. That was the message during Mayor Richard Stewart’s inaugural address Monday evening in which he vowed to bring the diverse group of councillors together after a particularly divisive election campaign.
Engaging citizens and holding the line on taxes are two key goals for the coming term for Port Coquitlam’s recently re-elected mayor. In his inaugural speech at Monday’s largely ceremonial council meeting, Greg Moore said he will be working to carry out the vision of 1,300 participants in the city’s corporate strategic plan to build a healthy, engaged community while also addressing voters’ concerns about high taxes.
Police are not going to reduce roadside drunk driving checks despite a recent court ruling. After a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled last week that the most severe of B.C.’s new impaired driving penalties infringe on people’s constitutional rights to a fair trial, Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond announced police in the province won’t impose the toughest of the new roadside penalties until drivers are given a way to appeal the results of a failed breath test.

S
occer balls, gift cards, toy trucks, games, books and dolls were flying off the shelves last week. And that wasn’t even at the mall. It was toy shop day at Trinity United Church in Port Coquitlam, an event run by Share Family and Community Services for families needing a little extra help this holiday season. The shop was packed to the brim last Friday with gifts for kids of all ages and parents lined up in the cold for their turn to choose a gift for each child, plus a family board game, a book and, for the little ones, a stuffed toy. “It’s a pretty good crowd,” said Karen Faminoff, Share’s toy bank co-ordinator, who said about 2,200 children are registered to get a gift this year. On this day, it appeared the generosity of Tri-City people had resulted in a variety of gifts — from new hoodies, to children’s toys, even a skateboard and a few bike helmets. One mom who was visiting the Christmas toy bank for the first time expressed surprise at the range of offerings and the generosity that inspired people to give. “I’m impressed,” said the Coquitlam resident as she chose a couple of gift cards and a game called CSI: Senses for her teenagers. The single mom said there was a time before her marriage broke up and a family business failed when she used to donate to World Vision every month. Now, she is accepting the charity of others. “It’s sad, but I’m grateful at the same time.” Volunteers such as Jan Richen were on hand to help parents find just the right gift. With her red sweater and dangling Christmas ornament earrings making her look like Santa’s helper, Richen said has been working at the toy bank for about six years. “We walked over and said, ‘Do you want a hand?’ I’ve been here ever since,” Richen said, noting that her son, Mike, a Coquitlam firefighter, and husband, Doug, also help every year. Over the years, Share has perfected its system for making sure every child gets a toy for Christmas. It takes weeks, even months, to organize the goods for the toy shop. In fact, much of the work takes place in January and February, when gifts that come in close to Christmas have to be sorted for the following year. Margaret Decario is in charge of the gifts for the smallest children. “Zero to two (years) is my project,” she said, noting she spends some weeks in both winter and fall sorting and packaging toys. Decario said she groups the board books,
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Volunteers Margaret Decario, Reid Allen and Jan Richen sort toys for the Port Coquitlam toy shop run by Share Family and Community Services at Trinity United Church. Trinity is one of half a dozen Tri-City churches serving as distribution centres for Christmas gifts for families in need. rattles and early-learning games into parcels with an approximate value of $30 to $40, and hopes families will be happy with the packages. “The people that come in are so nice,” Decario said. “They wouldn’t be there if they didn’t have to be.” Many of the gifts that come in are for the three-to-eight age group and Share is putting out a call for toys for infants, tweens aged nine to 12 years, and teenagers. When gifts are scarce for a particular age group, Faminoff goes shopping with fundraising dollars to fill in the gaps. Share also holds toy shops at two churches in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, in addition to the two in Port Moody, so they are
more accessible for people who need them. As the parents wander through the room looking for just the right gift for their children, many stop at the table for 13- to 18 year-olds presided over by Reid Allen. The Gleneagle student is another toy shop veteran and he said parents seem to appreciate his advice on the more technical toys, including cameras. “It’s a good way to get volunteer hours,” Allen said, “by helping people who are less fortunate.” As the morning progresses, families continue to stream into the room at Trinity United, carrying black garbage bags for the gifts. They talk quietly among themselves and discuss the merits of every game, toy and book.
The Coquitlam mom with the CSI game and gift cards is ready to leave but is willing to talk about the difficult circumstances that brought her to Share this year. Her children, who are graduating from high school, are making her proud and she wants to do right by them, even if it means seeking charity to put something under the tree. Every day is a new day, she said, and one day, if she continues to circulate her resume, she will get the job she needs to get back on track. In the meantime, she says, “You have to think of your children first and do what you can. “To me, it’s the most important thing.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

RCMP combats graffiti Tagger facing charges after being caught red-handed
Charges were approved this week against a Port Coquitlam teenager who was allegedly caught by police in the act of tagging and who is believed to be responsible for numerous acts of vandalism in the TriCities. The youth, whose identity is protected u n d e r t h e Yo u t h Criminal Justice Act, was arrested in August thanks to a tip from an alert citizen, according to Coquitlam RCMP. Const. Matt Berinbaum, a graffiti expert, said residents do not feel safe in an area where graffiti is rampant and that it is important for people to phone the police when they see vandalism and other criminal activity. “It’s a self-perpetuating thing,â€? he said. “But all it takes is citizens to tune in to what is going on in their area and call police when they see taggers in action or suspect they know who might be responsible for tags. After that, it’s a question of putting in the time.â€? Having a graffiti investigator on staff has put a dent in the amount of vandalism committed by prolific taggers, which he said can damage a community’s reputation. Berinbaum goes through the painstaking task of analysing tags and linking them to specific individuals. “Unless police can demonstrate that a tagger, even one who is caught in the act, has a history of vandalism, the consequences for the tagger are not very serious and the vandalism won’t stop,â€? he said. • Anyone with any information about vandalism or graffiti should call the Coquitlam RCMP’s non-emergency line at 604-945-1550. Those who wish to remain anonymous can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or going to www. solvecrime.ca. gmckenna @tricitynews.com

Stewart pledges to build consensus on Coq. council continued from front page
“I believe it is the mayor’s role not only to search for consensus but to help build consensus,” he told those in a packed council chambers. “My pledge is to work even harder to help foster that teamwork.” Stewar t took the opportunity to welcome new councillors Craig Hodge and Terry O’Neill, and said goodbye to departing member Doug Macdonell. He even had a few conciliatory words for mayoral challenger and former councillor Barrie Lynch, who was absent from Monday’s meeting. With provincial, federal and TransLink funds now earmarked for the construction of the Evergreen Line, Stewart said he expects
to see shovels in the ground in the next few months. Building the rapid transit project, he added, will be a pivotal moment in Coquitlam’s history and will transform large areas of the municipality into sustainable residential and commercial hubs. Growth will also be a factor, as Coquitlam’s population is set to expand considerably over the next few years. Stewart said council will focus on developing neighbourhood plans, particularly for the areas of Maillardville and Burquitlam, with help and input from the community. “Growth is both a challenge and an opportunity,” he said. “With growth comes the prosperity of new investment. And if handled
properly, growth can help fund new infrastructure that serves the entire community. Growth also brings new and greater demand for services that people see as essential.” One of the services seeing greater demand is the city’s library. Stewart said that the municipality outgrew its City Centre branch, located in the basement of city hall, years ago and a new facility is slated to be opened in the next few months in an existing building next to Henderson Place on Pinetree Way. The importance of developing a homeless shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave. was highlighted in the mayor’s inaugural address, along with efforts to make Coquitlam a sports tourism desti-
nation. Councillors took the opportunity to thank their families, friends and campaign volunteers as each member of the nine-person council lined up to take his or her oath of office. The meeting opened with a procession of firefighters led by a bagpiper before the crowd sang “O Canada” and Rev. John Davies said a prayer. T he next council meeting will take place on Dec. 12, when committee appointments are expected to be announced for the next year. Stewart won his second term as mayor in the Nov. 19 civic election, collecting 10,050 votes, easily besting Lynch, who earned 7,591 votes. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Moore vows to control PoCo’s costs continued from front page
Noting that some PoCo taxpayers are “reaching a tipping point,” Moore said the city has to find ways to provide services without increasing costs. He promised council will look to other cities for best practices to find new savings on top of the $770,000 in savings found through a core review two years ago and will generate new revenue through business development. Moore vowed to establish a mayor’s task force on business development opportunities in January made up of councillors and local business representatives. The recommendations of the task force will then be used to provide the foundation for an economic plan in 2013. “They will look at all aspects of how our city can work with businesses better,” Moore said. In his speech, the second-term mayor reiterated the perennial complaint of civic governments about downloading from senior governments. “We will no longer willingly accept downloading that is not accompanied with adequate financial resources,” Moore stated in his address. Acknowledging the support of NDP MLA Mike Farnworth and Conservative MP James Moore, the mayor promised to partner more with provincial and federal governments. Moore also promised to continue to improve the city’s transportation system through its ongoing master transportation plan and by highlighting the need to extend the
Evergreen Line to PoCo. The city’s parks and recreation facilities also need upgrading, the mayor said. “There’s a need to build additional artificial fields, expand the recreation centre to include more multi-func-
tional space for our seniors and residents who seek a healthier lifestyle as well as to create more ice time. We need to also look at how we address our aging Centennial Pool that has been enjoyed generations of

Can’t wait? Find a surgeon online BLACK PRESS
Fraser Health launched a new online tool Monday to help showcase surgeons in the region. With the website, patients and physicians can find the names of surgeons who may be able to perform surgical procedures sooner than others, Fraser Health said in a press release, with users able to choose from a drop-down list of surgeries. A list will then be shown of five surgeons in Fraser Health who are predicted to likely be able to perform the surgery sooner than expected. With more than 250 surgeons operating in 10 hospitals, it has been a challenge to know all of the region’s specialists and their predicted wait times for surgery. Entitled the Soonest Surgery Tool (at www. fraserhealth.ca/surgery) it uses data Fraser
Boomer health study Can the B.C. health care system withstand the retirement of baby boom generation? A B.C. legislature committee is trying to find out. Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, chair of the all-party committee, said its goal is to sort through projections of the largest wave of retirement ever. The post-war generation officially begins reaching retirement age in 2012, continuing to 2036. The committee is accepting academic studies and other research papers until Jan. 13 for the first phase of its work, assessing the impact. It will then outline alternative strategies to cope with the increased demand, and identify public response to the different proposals.
Health provides daily for the Ministry of Health’s Surgical Patient Registry. Using calculations based on the number of procedures the surgeons have performed in the last four months and the number of patients on their wait lists, a roster of five surgeons is shown. The website also provides information on

Clarke — Christine Clarke — running in PoMo-Coq. By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The B.C. Conservative Party has announced that Christine Clarke will seek the party’s nomination in Por t Moody-Coquitlam, a potential candidate whose name sounds similar to that of a former TriCity MLA who’s now the premier. But party leader John Cummins said the Tories are not intending to confuse voters by running a candidate whose name is similar to Christy Clark and that the situation is merely a coincidence. “I don’t think there will be any confusion,” he said last Friday. “There is a night-andday difference between Christine Clarke and Christy Clark.” Cummins told The T r i - C i t y N e w s t h at the similarity may even work to hurt the Conservative candidate, who he touts as a strong fiscal conservative, unlike the BC Liberal premier. “It certainly doesn’t help Christine because her political views are so different,” he said. “She is a fiscal conservative. She believes in
spending taxpayer dollars wisely.” Clarke has lived in the riding CLARKE s i n c e 2000 after moving to the Tri-Cities from Kelowna, according to a bio released by the party. She said she is running to keep taxes low and to take back health care and education from union bosses. P r o f e s s i o n a l l y, C l a rke h a s wo rke d with CompuColle ge, A+ Education and IBM Canada, and has been a volunteer music instructor with the Montessori Elementary School Society. She is the only person so far seeking the nomination for the Conservative par ty, which will formally select the candidate at a meeting on Dec. 15. If there are dirty tricks at play, NDP candidate Joe Trasolini believes voters will see through them. “I think that the electorate in the Port Moody-Coquitlam riding is very enlightened,” he said. “I am sure they know that

In the cards
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
P
aper report cards could become a thing of the past and the teachers’ job action is showing us how. While many people still cling to the idea of children bringing home a piece of paper with grades and comments at the end of term, it may be time to take another look at this standardized approach. For generations, the industrial-style education system has been fixated on producing graduates like widgets and report cards have mirrored this model with an overly simplistic analysis of students’ strengths and weaknesses. Admittedly, report cards have been upgraded over the years, with more comments and a reduced emphasis on grades at the primary level, but overall, they haven’t changed much. What educators now know — and B.C.’s new personalized learning agenda aims to address, at least in principle — is that students have different learning styles and require assessments that are measurable, flexible, adaptable and motivating. Students need a plan that more closely reflects their learning styles, interests and goals instead of a standardized set of outcomes and report cards to match. So far, the province has done a poor job in defining personalized learning and conveying exactly what and how it will change B.C.’s education system — and under the current model of labour relations in education, it’s hard to know how this will be achieved. Still, the teachers’ contract dispute has shown there are many ways to assess and report on student learning. Liberated from many administrative duties, teachers are communicating with parents and students by email and telephone, posting information online, sending home records of individual assignments and outlining specific problems that need to be addressed. What’s more, parents are being encouraged to seek out information about their child’s learning. There may be some gaps if parents don’t know how or are unable to communicate with their child’s teacher. In this event, it would have to be up to teachers to reach out. There will always be a need for some standardized assessment and recording, especially for those headed for university, but a piece of paper at the end of term is not now and never has been a fully meaningful record of success for all students.
B.C. continues to be playground for eco-stunts BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA f the propaganda flowing over “tar sands” crude shipments across B.C. were oil, the province would be out of deficit by now. U.S.-funded professional environmentalists and their aboriginal partners lined up with the NDP last week to peddle a range of half-truths and falsehoods about proposals to pipe diluted bitumen from Alberta to a new port at Kitimat, where tankers would deliver it to Asian markets. They staged a slick news conference in Vancouver where they claimed to have a seamless wall of aboriginal communities the length of B.C. opposing the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. A 10-year-old girl in a cedar bark hat warned of devastation to the coastal ecology, providing the kind of emotional visual that appeals to urban television audiences who know and care little about sci-
I
ence or resource industries. This event was co-ordinated with the publication of a report warning of huge risks from piping “tar sands” crude. The report was produced by the Natural Resource Defence Council, the Living Oceans Society and the Pembina Institute. These three obscure organizations are among those identified by independent researcher Vivian Krause on her website www. fairquestions.typepad.com/rethink_campaigns/. These and other environmental groups have received millions from U.S.based foundations in recent years. Here’s one of many examples of the money trail that Krause has followed: U.S. tax returns show the Pembina Institute and a B.C. environmental group were paid $200,000 by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund Inc. in 2006-’07 “to prevent the development of a pipeline and tanker port” on the B.C. coast. The same Rockefeller fund has investments in competing pipelines going south. Documenting this huge money spill, Krause concludes that U.S. interests are

working to stop Canada from exporting oil to Asia so the U.S. will be the only market available. They dress it up as environmentalism and we fall for it. Not surprisingly, the latest “tar sands” scare report was seized on by the B.C. NDP. “The pipeline goes over mountains, across farmland, over the Fraser and Skeena Rivers and straight through the Great Bear Rainforest to the Pacific, where it will be picked up by supertankers trying to navigate our inland coastal waters,” said NDP environment critic Rob Fleming. Fleming parroted the report’s claim that diluted bitumen is more likely to cause corrosion in pipes and tankers. Enbridge issued a statement refuting the study. Its oldest bitumen pipeline went into service in 1979 and “a complete metal loss inspection of this line in 2009 revealed no increased risk or incidence of internal corrosion.” Oh, and the proposed pipeline route doesn’t cross the Fraser. And claims of a huge increase in greenhouse gases from “tar sands” compared to conventional oil are grossly exag-
gerated. (The vast majority of emissions from all crude sources come when the fuel is burned to truck in your groceries or get you to work.) B.C.’s own Wilderness Committee chimed in but this eco-show was organized by the local branch office of San Francisco-based ForestEthics. Those are the folks who blessed us with the faux-aboriginal name “Great Bear Rainforest.” A similar campaign is underway against expansion of the existing Kinder Morgan pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby, which brings Alberta oilsands crude to ships heading out under the Lions Gate bridge and winding through the Gulf and San Juan Islands to Asia. Tankers have been loading “tar sands” oil in Burnaby for about six years now but the enviro-propagandists didn’t notice until a couple of years ago. Up until then, Fleming and his colleagues raged about maintaining a “moratorium” on B.C. tanker traffic that never existed.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS More recycling coming The Editor, Re. “Cities question package recycling plan” (www.tricitynews.com). T he Recycling Council of B.C. would like to clarify some information published in Jeff Nagel’s Nov. 24 article. First, the addition o f p a ck a g i n g a n d printed paper (PPP) as Schedule 5 of the Recycling Regulation does not affect beverage containers currently collected through a deposit-refund system. In fact, the Ministry of Environment held a full-day public consultation on the beverage container program the day before Mr. Nagel’s story was published. At that session, ministry staff clearly heard from the public and industry that the deposit system works. In the case of the beer industry, refillable bottles, the core of a deposit-return system, is an important part of its business model. The one thing that has been made clear by industry regarding
the soon-to-come PPP program, through a series of ongoing public engagement meetings held this fall, there is no intention for deposits or added fees. And while the program’s initial focus is residential, the intent is to phase in service to the institutional and commercial sectors within a few years. As for concerns that what is collected may be shipped out of province, the Recycling Council would welcome the opportunity to develop sustainable jobs here in B.C. with the material collected through recycling. But the truth is that much of what is currently collected by municipalities leaves the province. Paper, newsprint, cardboard and metal prices are all based on international commodity prices and traded in a free market system. How much is collected in municipal blue box programs overall and where it goes is not accurately known as there has never been a comprehensive survey
of recycling done in B.C. However, you can access a required-byregulation annual report for each industry stewardship agency online with metrics that outline what and how much is collected, and the end-of-life management process. The number of programs under the Recycling Regulation will grow over the next decade from the current dozen to more than 30. As more is shifted from taxpayer responsibility to industry and consumers, B.C.’s polluter-pay approach provides the best way to remove costs to local government and create the opportunity for a closed-loop zerowaste system. If anything, municipalities should be trying to accelerate the introduction of industry stewardship programs so they can focus on issues such as organics management for which they will remain responsible. Brock Macdonald, Recycling Council of BC

There are transit options at night for those who party The Editor, Re. “Improved transit would keep drunks off roads” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Dec. 2). There’s no reasonable argument that drinking and driving is connected to the level of transit services. It’s one of those “dog ate my homework” excuses that doesn’t stand up. Those who need to make their way home to Coquitlam from downtown Vancouver have the N9 NightBus that runs as late as the 3:09 a.m. departure. That knowledge should help people do the responsible thing and plan ahead for a safe ride home, be it by transit, taxi or a designated driver.

November property sales in the Fraser Valley are up slightly compared to last year and didn’t experience the usual month-overmonth seasonal decline, according to the Fraser Va l l e y Re a l E s t at e Board, while Greater Vancouver sales were down slightly. The board processed 1,120 sales in November, an increase of 3% compared to the same month last year but a decrease of 2% compared to 1,139 sales in October. In the past decade, the FVREB noted, sales decreased on average by 9% from October to November. “Given the time of year, [the] Fraser Valley is experiencing steady buying activity, with notable month-over-month increases in the sale of homes with an attractive price point,” said FVREB president Sukh Sidhu. “For example, townhome sales in central Surrey increased by 20% in one month and in Langley by 43%.” While sales remained stable, Multiple Listing Service inventory decreased from October to November, typical for the time of year. “Even with fewer listings coming on stream, buyers can still take advantage of almost nine months of inventory, which is putting down-

Roadside checks will not decrease, says E Division continued from front page
But RCMP E Division Supt. Norm Gaumont said Monday little will change on the road. “ We w i l l a b s o lutely not be reducing CounterAttack roadside checks,” Gaumont said. “Nothing’s changed here. We still don’t want people to drink and drive. Let’s keep up the good work.” Gaumont said evidence shows roadside prohibition is effective, noting police have seen a 50% drop in alcoholrelated deaths in the Lower Mainland and the region is on pace to finish 2011 with fewer than 100 alcohol-related fatalities — something he can’t remember seeing in a long time, if ever. In 2005, there were 180 such deaths in Metro Vancouver alone, so seeing major drop can only be good news, he said. “Now, we’re just back to where we were before the new laws came in. I don’t think [the drop in alcohol-related deaths]

Police will be cracking down on drunk driving over the holidays. will change,” Gaumont said. In his ruling, Justice Jon Sigurdson said the increased penalties for blowing in the “warn” range of 0.05 to 0.08, are
permissible but drivers who blow in the “fail” range above 0.08 should have a chance to challenge the decision if their vehicles are impounded for 30 days and they face thousands of dollars in administrative penalties. Gaumont said the government has indicated it will be looking to amend the year-old impaired driving law and that the RCMP is looking forward to working with Victoria as it reviews the judge’s decision and amends the new rules. In the meantime, police will revert to the old roadside impairment rules, which means impaired drivers can still face a 90-day administrative driving prohibition and can still be charged criminally if they are driving while under the influence of alcohol. The newer penalties — which Sigurdson did not immediately strike down while he awaits submissions from the province and the driver

challenging the new rules — are more strict, allowing police to give drivers with a blood alcohol reading in the “warn” range a threeday driving ban, a $200 administrative penalty and another $250 fee to have a driver’s licence reinstated. Drivers can also have their cars impounded for three days and be billed for towing and storage. For roadside readings of 0.08 or higher, police have been imposing a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impounding the vehicle for 30 days. That suspension can cost a driver $3,750 for such things as towing, storage and a mandatory “responsible driver” course. Gaumont said he doesn’t want to see anyone killed by impaired drivers, whether the new rules stay in effect or not. “Make sure you have a safe way home and don’t drink and drive,” he said. — with files from Tom Fletcher

Beware of fraudsters this holiday By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
For many people, the Christmas season is about family and giving. For a certain element, it is about fraud and theft. This time of year, according to Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jamie Chung, the local Mounties often see an uptick in payment card scams and phoney door-to-door charities so he’s warning people to be on alert. When dealing with a canvasser at the doorstep, police encourage people to train themselves to look for signs of potential fraud. Scammers often try to gain entry into the home and are usually well dressed. In some cases, phoney canvassers have even been known to wear fake uniforms, Chung said. “From my experience, door-to-door canvassers of accredited charities carry proper identifications and they are usually able to provide tax receipts on the spot,” he said. “My advice to people is to do your due diligence and ask questions.” People should not feel pressured to donate, he added, and can ask whether there is a local office where contributions can be made. A higher number of credit and debit card
transactions over the holiday shopping season also provides an opportunity for crooks to steal. Chung recommends shoppers keep a list of all their cards and their accompanying numbers in a secure location so that if they are stolen, they are easier to cancel and track. Card holders should never give out their pin
numbers and people should know that banks or credit card companies do not ask for that information over the phone. Online fraud is also rampant during the holiday season. Chung said there have been several incidents where online sellers meet potential buyers in secluded locations and
rob them. People need to be especially cautious when buying or selling high-value items such as expensive jewelry or cellphones, and should always meet buyers in a high-traffic public place. “If it is too good to be true, it is too good to be true,” Chung said. Coquitlam RCMP also has more information at www.bc.rcmp.ca.

Two of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of Acupuncture: • Andrew, 80 years old, suffered with vertigo.

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.

In support of the annual Movember event, which raises awareness for prostate cancer, the Thrifty's team grew mustaches and sold paper mustaches to help support this cause. Headed by team members Toni Dickinson and Dan Edwards, almost $1,200 was raised by the Austin Station Thrifty Foods™ and a challenge was sent out to all of the BC Thrifty Foods™ stores to participate in this fundraiser.

What’s cooking? At Trinity, community PoCo church hosts its annual Xmas dinner on Saturday By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Preparing a holiday meal for an average size family can be a daunting task for even the most experienced cook. Not for Elaine Stead. The Trinity United parishioner is behind the Port Coquitlam church’s annual Christmas Community Dinner this Saturday and more than 150 homeless and people in need are expected to attend. Fortunately for Stead, she has experience — this is her 10th year holding the event — and an army of volunteers to help prepare the turkeys and all the trimmings. “You just feel good doing it,” she said in the kitchen of Trinity United Church. “They thank you for it and they really enjoy the meal.” The meal is prepared for people who may not otherwise have a Christmas dinner. Those who are unemployed or otherwise hungry for food and companionship

Buy a tree, help teen mothers and foster children Aunt Leah’s Place, a charity that provides housing and support for aboriginal teen moms and foster kids, is raising funds for programs by selling Christmas trees at lots in the Tri-Cities and throughout the Lower Mainland. Since last Friday, the New Westminster-based organization has been selling
trees at a Christmas tree lot at Eagle Ridge United Church, 2813 Glen Dr. (at Lansdowne). The lot is run by volunteers and will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until Christmas. Last year, Aunt Leah’s Christmas Tree lots in the Lower Mainland sold more than $130,000 worth of fresh cut trees. As well, the
non-profit organization is launching an online tree lot (auntleahsplace.gostorego. com) where customers can purchase their trees and have them delivered to their homes or ready for pickup at one of the four Aunt Leah’s locations. “People are doing their Christmas shopping online these days, why not buy
your Christmas tree online too?” asks Gale Stewart, founder and executive director of Aunt Leah’s. All of the profits from Aunt Leah’s Christmas tree lots go to pay for housing and programs to support vulnerable new moms and other youths who are aging out of the foster-care system, including kids in
the Tri-Cities. Some of the apartments are located in this region and the tree lots will offer pre-employment skills to program clients. “Without a supportive home to go to, these moms — many of whom were foster kids themselves — would be homeless and lose their babies to the foster care system,” says Stewart. “We are
trying to stop this cycle.” Aunt Leah’s started selling Christmas trees in the 1990s and “it has turned into a viable social enterprise and our Christmas tree sales have grown every year,” says Stewart. The hours of operation of the tree lot are Friday, Saturday, Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Bleed, feed Canadian Blood Services (CBS) and Food Banks British Columbia want people to donate blood and food this month. The two organizations hope the Bleed and Feed blood donor clinics this month will go a long way towards meeting their donation goals: 9,750 blood donors for CBS and enough food for the province’s food banks to feed 70,000 people. Bleed & Feed food collection boxes will be at the front desk of all B.C. blood donor clinics through Dec. 31. In the Tri-Cities, food collected at clinics will go to the Share food bank.

You will no longer feel shame in admitting that the cake you just baked is “from a mix.” You can tell friends and family that the recipe was created by Ms. Byrn, who took cooking classes from Julia Child and studied the culinary arts in
France. I have tried a few good recipes from Byrn’s latest book, entitled The Cakemix Doctor Bakes GlutenFree, and she also offers help to those who find it a challenge to make main meals in her book The Dinner Doctor. I would like to use more superfoods and gluten-free ingredients in my meals, so I became interested in cooking with quinoa.

The Venosta was restored in 1987 with assistance from the West Coast Railway Association and features two sleeping compartments as well as a ladies’ powder room with accessories from the 1920s. In addition to sweet treats, visitors will be treated to classic 1940s Christmas music and decorations. Reservations are not required for Holiday Tea on the Train and all proceeds go to support the Port Moody Heritage Society, which owns and operates the PoMo Station Museum.

love to eat but I don’t love to cook. And I know I’m not alone because there are many books to help those that are culinarilychallenged. Thus, when searching for a good cookbook, I look for recipes with easy-to-follow instructions, enticing photographs and recognizable ingredients. The Best of Bridge cookbooks fulfill these requirements. The authors are Canadian women who have sold 3.2 million copies of their books over the past 30 years. All of the Best of Bridgee cookbooks can now be found in two volumes. The recipes found in these books are easy to follow, with a clear list of ingredients that can be found in most grocery stores. I know that many experienced bakers will cringe at the title of my next cookbook choice, The Cakemix Doctor, but Ann Byrn has created many delicious and easy recipes for cakes, cheesecakes, bars and cookies. Simply adding ingredients such as cocoa powder, yogurt and applesauce
seed, and a healthy one at that: One cup of cooked quinoa has eight grams of protein. The book Quinoa 365 makes it easy to incorporate quinoa into both meals and desserts. Authors Patricia Green n and Carolyn Hemming g note that quinoa is “very easy to prepare regardless of your cooking ability.” I love quinoa because it can be cooked in a rice cooker. I have made the recipe for Moist Chocolate Cake, which is delicious and contains no flour. A good recipe book series for busy families is Cooking for the Rushed by Sandi Richard. This author and Food Network host has a wealth of knowledge about busy families as she has seven children. Richard has written six cookbooks for families that find it a challenge to prepare meals the whole family can enjoy together. In The Dinner Fix, Richard has arranged nine weeks of meal plans, with grocery lists included. The book also includes hints for making dinner preparation easier. Richard describes different spices and clarifies cooking terms for those who are new to the kitchen. Real Simple is one of my favourite magazines

The 13th incarnation of Christmas Pops will have plenty of live entertainment to get you in the Christmas spirit, and features Royal City Musical Theatre veteran James Bryson and Brent Hughes, a music teacher at Dr. Charles Best secondary school. The show runs Dec. 15 to 18 at the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate, Port Coquitlam). Tickets are available at www.jamesproductions.ca.
Locals shine in Nutcracker By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
SARAH PAYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Michelle Khoo, 12, plays Clara in The Nutcracker.
When the Vancouver Opera Orchestra strikes up the opening notes of Tchaikovsky’s classic The Nutcracker, professional dancers will float on to the stage to tell this timeless Christmas story. Waiting in the wings with the pros from Vancouver’s Goh Ballet, as well as visiting artists from the American Ballet Theatre, will be three young dancers from the Tri-Cities. There’s 11-year-old Madeline Rindahl-Foran, who performed in last year’s show as a lamb and is excited to take on the role of a soldier this year because she’ll be part of the great battle scene, a favourite among many of the young dancers. “I like the costumes and I like being on stage with the rats, because everyone thinks they’re scary,” said Rindahl-Foran, a Grade 6 student at Hillcrest middle who also keeps busy with gymnastics and cheerleading. Performing with such experienced dancers has Rindahl-Foran thinking of the future, and maybe one day dancing as the Snow Queen. “I always worry though if I get a long part that I would forget it,” she admitted. At eight years old, Emma Kelly is making her Nutcracker debut as a mouse and couldn’t be happier. It’s just the part she wanted, in a ballet her mom has taken her to see each
year ever since she can remember. “I was, like, screaming, ‘Yay!’” recalled Kelly, who’s in Grade 3 at Cedar Drive elementary, when she learned she got the part. She’s been taking every kind of dance class imaginable at K&S Dance in Port Coquitlam starting at the age of two, but this is her first gig with the pros. “It’s really fascinating ‘cause you get to see them dance and you get to dance with them, and I really like to dance,” she gushed. And for 12-year-old Michelle Khoo it’s the third time she’ll dance in the show, the second as a young Clara. This year she’ll also get to bite into a juicier, more senior role as a Mirliton, part of the entertainment for Clara and the Nutcracker in the Sugar Plum Fairy’s castle. Khoo said she only “half believed it” when she found out she’d scored the two roles. “They’re the two roles I really, really wanted and I didn’t think I would get them both.” That success likely comes from Khoo’s hard work during the past year. She knew the role of Clara from her first Nutcrackerr in 2009, and learned the Mirliton steps from her Goh Ballet instructors and by studying the performers from backstage, as well as watching from a video at home. Each role has its own challenges. As see PRACTISING PRACTISING,, page A28
anta Claus is the theme and the big man himself will be the star of the show when young performers from the TriCities and across the Lower Mainland bring Christmas Pops back to the stage. This is the 13th year for the holiday variety show that teams Royal City Musical Theatre veteran James Bryson with Dr. Charles Best secondary music teacher Brent Hughes. The two will be sharing the stage with RCMT alumni Chad Matchette, 14 singers and 16 musicians hailing from Abbotsford and Mission, South Surrey and Delta for a colourful, often humourous and always memorable production. Bryson and Hughes have scoured the catalogue of holiday music to add shine to some new musical gems and polish up some old favourites. They’ve also added some new twists to traditional carols. Bryson said he and Hughes have worked for nearly a year on the repertoire that will be featured at the Terry Fox Theatre Dec. 15 to 18. “ We t h i n k a l i ke, we’re kind of kindred spirits,” said Bryson, who was himself a high school music teacher in Coquitlam for many years before retiring. On the playlist this year will be several songs with a Santa theme, a rock ‘n’ roll Christmas tune and some beautiful solos featuring retur ning Pops singers such as Donna Walberg and Rob Christensen. There will be double the choreography from last year and lots of laughs. Bryson is particularly proud to add two Best students to the mix of performers: Maana Javadi on keyboards and James Deady on guitar. “This is the next generation of kids who are going to become adults in the perform-
ing community.” Adding the two students to the semi-professional cast was a risk, he said, but they have taken the responsibility in stride and performed admirably. “They are very hot little players and delightful kids.” The group has had plenty of time to perfect the songs on the road at the Circle Craft Market in Vancouver and the West Coast Christmas Show in Abbotsford. Christmas Pops will also be performing at the Vancouver Christmas Market tomorrow. Do they ever get tired of singing Christmas songs or moving the production around? Not at all, Bryson said. “We’re performers, it’s what we do and when we all get there, the show takes flight.” Over the past several months, Bryson has been working hard with Hughes to perfect the show. But he’s had a few moments of fun, too, like the chance to rub shoulders with musical greats as one of 500 invited guests at a reception for newlyweds Michael Bublé and his bride, Luisana Lopilato. He was escor ting mezzo-soprano and Port Moody resident Sandi S i e m e n s, wh o w a s Bublé’s vocal coach, and got a chance to meet the inspriatonal David Foster and popular local conductor Dal Richards. He also met an effervescent Bublé. What’s on Bryson’s mind now, as Christmas approaches, is making the holiday special through song, dance and a few corny jokes. “This is the 13th. At first, when you get started, you run the show, but after awhile, the show runs you.” • The JP Chorus and O rch e s t r a p re s e n t s Christmas Pops at the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate, PoCo), Dec. 15-18 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $26/$24, available at www.jamesproductions. ca and by calling 604939-9300.

Winners of the annual Alcuin Society Awards for Excellence in Book Design include these three titles. The books are on display at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village until Jan. 16, 2012. An opening reception is Dec. 2.
Beauty of books in Alcuin show By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
At a time when Kindles are on many Christmas wish lists, the Leigh Square Community Arts Village is celebrating the beauty of the book in its latest exhibit, the Alcuin Society Awards for Excellence in Book Design. A glimpse at some of the winning books quickly makes it clear what sets them apart as pieces of art. There’s the first-prize winner in the children’s category: The Little Hummingbird, by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, which the judges deemed “as close to a perfectly designed children’s book as you can get” with its exemplary sequencing, fine paper stock and superbly integrated text and images. The limited editions category winner, The
Play of Pericles, Prince of Tyre, is “stunning,” the judges decided. “By far one of the best books this year.... Everything is right: the slipcase, the binding, the brilliant use of colour for the different voices and places, the original wood engravings, the calligraphy and the paper.” And in the poetry category, Paul Tyler’s A Short History of Forgetting won for its balanced perfection, “reminiscent of Renaissance lettering books.” Leah Gordon, chair of the Alcuin Society book design competition committee, said there are several factors the judges consider when whittling down the entries. There’s the typeface, its relationship to the pictures, the white space is and where it’s placed, the book’s readability and usability and, unique to the Alcuin competition, how well it works for its intended audience.
“For a children’s book, is it appropriate for little kids or is the design too complex, or not complex enough?” Gordon explained. “On the other end, some people do things that are so simple it looks like it was designed by a child, and it’s not something that’s intriguing for little children. It’s quite a sophisticated approach.” A cookbook that received an honourable mention in the Alcuin awards about five years ago didn’t fare better because its creamy typeface on gray paper — an exquisite combination, Gordon said — was impractical for the kitchen. (Oddly enough, it’s been the only Canadian book in the last eight or nine years to win a medal at the annual Leipzig, Germany book fair, Gordon added, noting judges there don’t consider a book’s content.) Alcuin, a Vancouver-based non-profit so-

Winners of this annual competition — all are by Canadian authors and publishers — feature a visual feast for the eyes and a typography aficionado’s dream. Celebrating the best in book design is critically important right now, Gordon said. “Things move so fast with all the technological changes, but this is a pivotal time,” she said. “I think what’s happening is that both will exist. Things will settle down... and the question will be what’s appropriate where.” Complementing this year’s Alcuin display is a tribute to the book by visual artist and graphic designer Markus Fahrner. see ARTIST ARTIST,, page A28

Artist explores creativity by building books continued from page A27
In Uncovering the Book, Fahrner details the process and materials used in creating an artist/limitededition book, lessons he learned after spending much of his life at book fairs around the world. Creating an artist book in limited edition gives Fahrner the unique chance of being involved in the entire process. He often writes the text, creates the illustrations, photographs and designs, and prints and binds his own books. Directing the production of a book from beginning to end means Fahrner can explore new avenues for his art at every step of the way. One such project, a collaboration with his partner and his mother, started as a fictitious encyclopedia titled Die Zweite Enzyklöpadie von Tlön and became a five-year endeavour that produced individual sheets and books. The project has since been acquired by the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Fahrner, who has designed the past two catalogues for the Alcuin
Society’s book design awards, is also working on a book chronicling his motorcycle adventure across West Africa. The Alcuin Society created the book design competition in 1981. Each year the award-winning books are showcased in an awards catalogue and exhibited across Canada and internationally; this is the first time the exhibit will be shown at Leigh Square. T h i s ye a r ’s j u d g e s, A l a n Brownoff, Dr. Shelley Gruendler and CS Richardsaon, selected 37 winning titles from 217 entries coming from nine provinces and 96 publishers. After the exhibitions books have been contributed to prestigious permanent collections in Canada, England, Germany and Japan. • The Alcuin Society Awards for Excellence in Book Design is at Leigh Square until Jan. 16, 2012. An opening reception is on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 2 p.m., with winners and artists in attendance. There will also be children’s storytelling and a book-binding demonstration. Admission is free.

Ravens rush to fine start on court
Gymnast jubilant in England An aching shin didn’t stop Tamara O’Brien of Port Coquitlam’s TAG Spor ts Centre from claiming fifth spot in tumbling and sixth in double-mini trampoline at the World Age Group g ymnastics championships last week in Birmingham, England. Ranked first in Canada in tumbling and second in double-mini going in, the 15-year-old O’Brien nailed two perfect landings in preliminaries to finished first heading into the final eight of the event. A blip in her second pass forced her to settle for sixth in the end. Next in tumbling, she hit two stable preliminary passes to take seventh, then moved up to fifth with a solid pass in the final round at the worlds, which featured more than 600 athletes from 40 different countries. “[It was] a solid string of performances and results for Tamara at these world championships,” raved her TAG coach Barb F raser, who was named Team Canada tumbling coach for the global meet.
Collins hits for 26 pts. Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’s Kristina Collins sizzled Saturday and the Simon Fraser Clan cooked the Montana State Billings Yellowjackets. A R ive r s i d e s e c ondary school grad, Collins canned 26 points –– draining six-three pointers in the process –– as the Clan bounced the Yellowjackets 62-52 in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference university women’s basketball game on Burnaby Mountain. The win moved the Clan to 5-1 in their second season of GNAC (NCAA Div. 2) play. “Last year’s experience is really paying off right now,” said Collins, a five-foot-10 junior who also went a perfect fourfor-four from the freethrow stripe. “As a team, we learned the league and what we need to be successful at this level.” Last Thursday, Collins netted 15 points and dished out five assists as the Clan trimmed the Seattle Pacific Falcons 79-74 in their home opener.

Express trip Rivermen, Eagles By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam Express were pleased winning two of three games last weekend. They came oh so close to being ecstatic. An apparent good goal late in the game was ruled no goal by an official as the Express slipped 5-4 Sunday to the host Surrey Eagles, after having beaten the Eagles 5-2 Saturday at the Poirier Sports Complex

Cats fall P o r t Moody Black Panthers coughed up a late shorthanded goal and fell 5-4 Saturday to G r a n dv i e w Steelers in PIJHL play in PoMo.
and the Rivermen 6-3 Friday in Langley. The results improved the B.C. Hockey League’s Express to 13-11-1-2 in sixth spot in the eight-team Coastal Conference –– just six points back of the second-place Powell River Kings. The Express overcame a 5-1 deficit Sunday by whipping in three goals in the final 10 minutes, only to fall just short in the end. “A slow start... proved dif-
ficult to overcome,” Express assistant coach Grant Kerr wrote on the team’s website. “What was encouraging, though, was the determination the team showed in the third period after trailing by three goals after two periods. “There was no throwing in the towel.” Mitch Nardi, Alex Petan, Zach Hodder and Brady Shaw scored for the Express. On Saturday, the Express snapped a 2-2 deadlock with
three unanswered third-period goals. Petan, Shaw, Cody Michelle, Justin Georgeson and John Siemer, who added two assists, bagged the Coquitlam goals. On Friday, the Express again netted the game’s final three goals to double the Rivermen. Siemer and Petan each tallied twice, with Express singles going to Georgeson and Taylor Bourne. The Express host Surrey again Friday, 7 p.m.
The only thing better than beating the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the province, as the Terry Fox Ravens did last week, is doing so in three months. Ranked No. 8 in the most-recent B.C. AAA senior boys high school basketball poll, the Ravens stunned the No. 2 Vancouver College Fighting Irish 73-64 last Tuesday before startling the No. 1 Kelowna Owls 68-56 at home Saturday. The Ravens sandwiched in victories over Australia’s Mandurah Magic (77-65) and North Vancouver’s Windsor Dukes (55-46) to complete a tough four-game stretch over five days. “The boys have been practising hard and it’s nice to have success early but we have to remember it’s only December,” cautioned Fox first-year head coach Steve Hanson. “We have a lot of work to do before the Fraser Valley [championships] in late February and hope to peak at that time.” Against the Aussies, the Ravens got 15 points from their six-foot-six post Ryan Sclater and another 14 from point guard Daniel Collins. In their defensive struggle with the Dukes, Fox got standout defensive play from Dalton Dewsbury and Hallo Palani. Versus Kelowna, the Ravens contained sevenfooter Braxton Bunce and their six-foot-nine centre Mason Woods netted six of his eight points in the final quarter as Fox won by 12. Trevor Casey canned 12 points for the Ravens, with Tanner Moss and Jesse Crookes also contributing well offensively. The Ravens’ schedule hardly gets easier as the team embarks on a pre-Christmas trip to Califor nia to compete in the 32-team San Fernando Valley Invitational tour nament, following back-toback games this weekend versus Oak Bay and St. Michael’s on Vancouver Island.

Canada beckons Berg scholarship with the Pioneers. Team Canada head coach Brodie Merrill –– a former WLA Sr. Adanac –– summarized the final selection camp by saying: “The players performed very well and conducted themselves with class on and off the field. The players experienced a lot of lacrosse in a short period of time and I was impressed with how they handled themselves. They showed strength through adversity and were able to sustain a high level of effort in order to compete throughout the entire weekend. I think it is a reflection of how important the national program is to young Canadian lacrosse players. “We are confident in the team we have selected and confident in the process we went through to get to this point. The focus will now quickly shift to preparing the team for Finland.” Other teams at the world championships, which run from July 12-21, will include Australia, Bermuda, Czech Republic, England, Germany, Ireland, Iroquois Nationals, the Netherlands, the U.S., Wales and host Finland.

Wesley Berg of the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs was among 24 players –– five from B.C. –– named to the roster that will represent Canada at the 2012 FIL Under-19 men’s field lacrosse world championships to be held next summer in Turku, Finland, it was announced Friday. The final selection camp was held Nov. 25-27 in Oshawa, On and offered 50 spaces for players who were selected from over 200 candidates who put their name forward since the player-application period opened. The final selections also come after many weeks of Team Canada coaching staff and scouts scattered throughout the country, seeking out players, watching them in action and comparing notes for future programs, as well. Last season, the prolific Berg, 18, racked up 114 points, including 60 goals, in 20 regular-season games at his runner position with the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Adanacs.
