PoCo plant gets first approval
Utility fees rising again By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A company planning to build a green waste compost facility in the Tri-Cities passed its first hurdle in the approval process Monday night after Port Coquitlam council voted unanimously to endorse the project. Cascade Renewable Carbon Corporation is proposing a 3.65-acre plant south of the Lougheed Highway, west of the Mary Hill Bypass, that will process food scraps, yard trimmings and other organic material. see AIR QUALITY, page 4
Coquitlam homeowners will have to shell out an extra $50 next year for water, sewage and garbage pick-up. On Monday, city council gave three readings to bylaws that will see water rates rise by $23, from $384 to $407; sewer levies increase by $11, from $347 to $358; and solidwaste charges jump by $16, from $326 to $342. That means a single-family
homeowner can expect to pay about $1,107 in utilities next year versus the current $1,057. As well, apartment owners will see a $2 hike in their recycling fees, from $37 to $39, according to a staff report. Still, the rate increases are slightly down from this year when the city billed an additional $25 for water, $15 more for sewage and $24 more for garbage collection by Smithrite Disposal Ltd., whose three-year contract expires on June 30.
By comparison, Por t Coquitlam homeowners are expected to pay an extra $19 next year for water, from $368 to $387, and another $9 for sewage, from $280 to $289 (its garbage rates are not included in utility budget). In Port Moody, homeowners can calculate another $9 for water in 2012, from $347 to $356; $1 more for sewer, to $334; $30 less for garbage pick-up, from $183 to $153; and an additional $51 for recycling collection, from
$119 to $170 (Port Moody city council was set to pass its utility budget last night). Metro Vancouver, which oversees water and sewage, has a capital program estimated to total $2.3 billion over the next 10 years, meaning water and sewer charges are not likely to go down anytime soon. In fact, water alone is estimated to rise 8% a year over the next five years. see GARBAGE, page 4

Regular shoveling in the cards — if it snows By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
When the snow starts falling this winter, and the weather experts are predicting it will this week in the higher levels, Tri-City residents and business owners need to be armed and ready. Each municipality requires homeowners to clear the sidewalks bordering their property shortly after a snowfall, and the same goes for business owners.
“Residents are required under the bylaw to clear the sidewalks abutting their property, on the front side or the rear, 10 hours after the snow has stopped falling,” said Dan Mooney, Coquitlam’s manager of roads and traffic operations. “But we recommend they do it earlier, as it’s falling, so it doesn’t get as heavy or wet.” And if you’ve spent hours shoveling your driveway and sidewalks, only to have the
city trucks come along and plow it right back again, here’s a tip: stand in your driveway, facing the street, and shovel the snow to the right side of your driveway. Mooney also reminded residents that clearing their sidewalks once doesn’t necessarily let them off the hook. “If it snows again, or we plow and push the snow up onto the sidewalk, they are required to clear it again,” he said, noting residents should shovel sidewalk
snow onto the boulevard (the edge of their lawn). “We hate putting snow back on the sidewalk, but if you shovel it on to the street that’s where it ends up.” Business owners are also required to clear sidewalks bordering their properties under the same timeline and regulations. Mooney said the majority of complaints the city gets from pedestrians about uncleared sidewalks are around bus stops and schools.
Once the 10-hour window has lapsed city staff will check to see if an area is still covered with snow; if it is, the property owner gets a warning letter. A second offence is referred to the bylaw department, at which point it’s up to bylaw officers to attend and issue a ticket if they see fit. In Port Coquitlam, residents and business owners must have their sidewalks free of snow and ice by 10 a.m. the
Snow Angels link) can sign up for the Snow Angel program so that a volunteer can come and clear their snow. Port Moody’s bylaws require property owners to remove snow and ice from sidewalks bordering their properties within 24 hours after the snow stops falling. City staff will clear sidewalks on collector or arterial routes based on priorities established by the director of operations. spayne@tricitynews.com
Cities turn to brine for ice
Angels in PoCo Wi t h w i n t e r weather expected to hit the region over the next few months Port Coquitlam is once again launching its Snow Angel program. The Snow Angels is a registry of volunteers willing to clear snow and ice from sidewalks for elderly or disabled residents. For volunteers, the program is an opportunity to get some exercise — shoveling snow can burn more than 400 calories an hour — and give back to the community. Snow Angels volunteers are welcome to sign up individually or in teams. Volunteers must provide their own shovel, be at least 12 years old and complete the city’s volunteer application process, which includes a criminal background check. All Snow Angels volunteers receive a city toque and identification card and students can apply their Snow Angels hours towards the high school volunteer requirement. Information about proper shoveling techniques, preventative back exercises and personal safety will be provided at a volunteer orientation session. Lear n more at www.portcoquitlam. ca/snowangels.
morning after a snowfall. That city also suggests moving snow to the right side of driveways (when facing the street) to improve the visibility of oncoming traffic and to prevent plows from dragging snow back onto your driveway.

Early predictions suggests that this could be another long, cold winter, and heavy snowfalls, like this one two years ago, are always a possibility. It’s best to have a plan, say local officials, and keep sidewalks clear.
Snow days could be called: stay informed By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
School District 43 has learned from past experience that the best way to handle snow days is to have a plan. A s s i s t a n t Superintendent Dan Derpak said all schools are required to have a snow plan and new communication procedures are in place in case of a large snowfall. “The only safe approach, if we are going to close the school district for snow conditions, is that we close the entire district,” said
Derpak. He said parents should listen to CKNW and watch the website (www.sd43.bc.ca) for school closure information. H oweve r, D e r p a k also cautioned parents to listen to their own intuition. If they feel that conditions are too treacherous for their child, they should keep them home even if their neighbourhood school hasn’t been closed. “The learning is going to be interrupted to some degree anyway and we’ll work through that.” Following a bad snow
storm, parents can expect schools to close for at least the first day. But in areas where the snowfall has been light, schools could open on subsequent days. Here again, parents must be alert to openings and closures and make their own decision regarding safety. Even during a full closure, each school will have a skeleton staff on duty in case a child does show up. “We want no one to be unsafe in this process. Every site will have a core of people,” Derpak declared. The district has also

The Tri-Cities has yet to see any significant snow fall this winter but that has not stopped salt and brine trucks from de-icing many local roads and thoroughfares across the region. According to Dan Mooney, Coquitlam’s manager of traffic operations, pre-emptive work, particularly brining, has become an effective way of making roads safer in the colder months. “We are using much more of it each season,” he said. “It is way more efficient as a pre-treatment, costs less [and] is more effective.” Brine is a mixture of salt and water that can be sprayed on to roads in order to make them less icy. Coquitlam’s work yard can hold up to 10,000 gallons of the liquid, which is made from the same raw salt that the city uses on roads during snow storms. Mooney said engineering staff are looking into expanding that capacity because of the increases in the use of brine annually. Port Coquitlam is also expected to use 32,000 litres of brine this winter, while Port Moody estimates it will require between 50,000 and 100,000 litres. Salt is another tool cities use to melt ice on local roads and sidewalks. Coquitlam will likely see about 4,000 tonnes dropped on its streets while Port Moody expects to use between 300 and 400 tonnes. Port Coquitlam’s snow clearing operations is capable of dispensing 600 cubic metres of salt through the course of a winter season. Coquitlam has 19 plows, PoCo has seven while Port Moody has 10 vehicles including two backhoes and a bobcat. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Don’t let snow and cold weather catch you unprepared. That’s the advice of Ingmar Wilkens, owner of the Canadian Tire store in Port Coquitlam. People tend to react to snow after it happens, and Wilkens suggests loading up on snow shovels, ice melter, and getting new wiper blades, snow tires and car batteries now, rather than waiting for the snowfall. “I make sure I have my shovels, ready,” said Wilkens, who is originally from Ontario. “That’s where I learned, you never mess with Mother Nature when it comes to snow.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Air quality, odours a concern Port Moodyy Council continued from front page
With PoCo’s approval the company can now move forward with obtaining a composting facility licence from Metro Vancouver. “Clean organics recycling is an environmentally friendly way of dealing with waste,� said Coun. Brad West, who also chairs the city’s environmental enhancement committee. “It is far more preferable than sending it to a landfill.� Controversy has surrounded the project since a pamphlet was distributed door-to-door across PoCo in late October, which Cascade owners said contained numerous inaccuracies and was likely the work of a rival corporation. The flyer said it was from the Coalition for an Environmentally Friendly Port Coquitlam, however neither the city nor several prominent TriCity environmentalists had heard
of the group and no contact information was provided. More than 80 people attended an open house last month that was held to clear up some of the rumours surrounding Cascade’s proposal. Several residents had concerns about air quality and odours coming from the facility, however staff said the company’s processing method uses closed container technology and would not produce any smells. “We have the proper regulations in place,� said Mayor Greg Moore. “There are more regulations with this facility than any other facility in our industrial area.� There are still several more steps required before Cascade can open its doors and start processing waste. If Metro Vancouver signs off on the project the application will come back to city hall for a business licence and development
permit, according to a city staff report. Coun. Darrell Penner said he supported Cascade’s plans, adding compost technology is something the region should have been using sooner. “It should have been done 20 or 30 years ago,� he said. “It could have reduced our landfills by hundreds of thousands of tonnes of waste.... It is frustrating from that perspective.� Coun. Mike Forrest concurred, adding that the city’s current method of shipping green waste to a facility in Richmond was not sustainable. He said the city and Metro Vancouver would be closely monitoring Cascade’s operations. “From an ethical point of view there is something wrong with shipping our garbage to someone else’s backyard,� he said. “This facility is a positive move.� gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Garbage costs also expected to rise continued from front page
Much of that money will be used on projects like the Seymour/Capilano filtration plant, a drinking water treatment project and a Port Mann Main Fraser River water crossing. Also, changes to provincial and federal water regulations require a $250-million upgrade to the Coquitlam Water Filtration Plan. Coquitlam Coun. Lou Sekora, a former Metro Vancouver board
director who was the only councillor to vote against the utility rate increase at Monday’s city council meeting, lamented the hikes for residents — a sentiment echoed by Mayor Richard Stewart, also a Metro director, who added he hopes to see the regional body bring “its costs in line� over the next three years. Coun. Brent Asmundson also warned about rising Metro garbage tipping fees, due to rise to $210 a tonne in 2016. Meanwhile, Coquitlam city
council is expected to grant fourth and final readings to its utility bylaws tonight (Wednesday) at its last regular meeting of the year, allowing staff to start the billing process to get utility notices out by February for the March 31 payment deadline. The 2012 capital and operating budgets are set to be adopted by city council on March 5, which will determine property taxes that are due in early July. — with files from Gary McKenna jwarren@tricitynews.com

Last time for light show He’s hanging up his decorations for the last time By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Sixty-thousand Christmas lights. One-hundred and thirty hours of setup time. Thousands of visitors. It all adds up to one light display that has attracted residents from across the Tri-Cities to a Port Coquitlam home every Christmas for over a decade. And Leo Douillard, the Pinemont Avenue property owner in charge of the spectacle, said people will have one last chance to participate before he packs up his decorations for good at the end of the year. “One-hundred and thirty hours is a long time and I am getting older,” he said. “I notice that after I’m done I start to seize up.” Every year Douillard takes some time off work at the end of November. He pulls his ladder out of the garage, dusts off the Christmas decorations, checks the light bulbs and gets to work. Fourteen days later his property looks more like the North Pole than the north PoCo suburban residence it resembles for the other 11 months of the year. The display has become so popular that even Santa Claus is expected to visit, greeting children and neighbours for a photo opportunity during an event this weekend. “It is great to see the look on the kids’ faces,” he said. “I have got regu-

Over the years people have donated various pieces and the display has grown exponentially. Today, it includes numerous lights, characters and Christmas arrangements as well as several interactive displays. Douillard has also setup a donation box with all proceeds going to the B.C. Children’s Hospital. “I didn’t have much when I was a kid,” he said. “I just started with a couple of lights and every year I would add a couple more.” But while Douillard said this will be the last time he hangs up the light display, he is plant-
ing seeds of tradition with other members of his family. After the holidays are over he plans to give away most of his ornaments to his friends and children with the hopes that they will carry on what he has started at their own homes. “Whatever my wife
wants we will keep,” he said. “But it will never be like this again. I’m gonna give most of this stuff away to the family and we will see what they do with it.’” This weekend Douillard will be hosting a neighbourhood Christmas party on his property (793 Pinemont Ave., Port Coquitlam), which will feature hot chocolate and a visit from Santa Claus. The event takes place between 7 and 10 p.m. on Dec. 17 and everyone is welcome. Douillard keeps his Christmas light display lit between 5 and 11 p.m. until Jan. 1, 2012.

PoCo needs help with Hansen relay Port Coquitlam’s Spirit Committee is still needing volunteer medal bearers to help with Rick Hansen’s 25th Anniversary Relay when it rolls through the city next year. PoCo is one of 600 communities being visited as part of the 12,000-km relay, which began Aug. 24 in Newfoundland to re-create the Canadian portion of Hansen’s Man in Motion World Tour. A contest is being held to select 7,000 “difference-makers to walk, run, cycle or wheel 250-metre segments of the relay through their communities. Nominations can be made at www.rickhansenrelay.com until Dec. 28, 2011, and is open to any individual who has helped to create a more accessible, inclusive world. Youth leaders, people who are protecting the environment or any Canadian who is seeking ways to improve the lives of others are welcome to participate. Medal bearers must be at least 13 years of age on the date of entry and available for up to three hours to participate when the relay comes through PoCo on May 17, between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Each medal bearer will carry a handcrafted sterling silver Rick Hansen Medal produced by the Royal Canadian Mint and wear a Rick Hansen Relay uniform. The relay, which is currently in Ontario, will enter B.C. on March 19. Port Coquiltam will be one of the final stops before the cross-Canada trek ends in Vancouver on May 22, 2012. The Port Coquitlam Spirit Committee has been working with the city for several months to plan the local welcoming events taking place at Leigh Square and Terry Fox secondary school. Details will be made public in the weeks leading up to the event. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Student makes waves at climate summit A former Coquitlam high school student is making waves with a strongly-worded criticism of climate change negotiators in Durban, South Africa. Anjali Appadurai who attended Gleneagle a few years ago has been getting positive reviews
for a speech demanding that countries do more to crack down on emissions causing climate change. Appadurai was chosen by youth delegates attending the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to speak to the
convention last Friday. During her presentation, Appadurai said she was representing almost half the population of the world by speaking for youth, and asked the gathered dignitaries from around the globe, “Where is the courage in this
room?” Urging climate negotiators to “get it done,” Appadurai delivered her impassioned speech in front of a cheering throng of supporters and international representatives. Appadurai is now in her third year at the
College of the Atlantic after going to high school at Gleneagle. The speech, which has gar nered over 2,300 YouTube views, can be read on the student’s blog at www.earthinbrackets.org/blo g/ and can be seen on YouTube.

Changes needed R
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
ecently, the B.C. Supreme Court upheld most of the province’s new drinking and driving laws, with this notable exception: Drivers who are believed to have blood alcohol samples over .08 will no longer be subject to automatic roadside penalties but instead may be tested at a police station and then, depending on the test results, charged with impaired driving. The stricter laws have had a dramatic effect. More than 23,000 people have been caught up in the net since the new laws went into effect about 14 months ago. Most of them have been given suspensions and stiff monetary penalties. Many others have changed their habits, in some cases drastically. They are either not drinking at all before driving or being very cautious if they plan to drive. Businesses that depend on the sales of alcohol have been hard hit, with some offering rides home as an incentive. But there has been a definite shift in attitudes, particularly in areas where using transit as a safe ride home is not a viable option. Even with one part of the new penalties being overturned, the get-tough approach has likely caused a permanent change in societal attitudes towards drinking and driving. This is for the better. The province estimates that at least 45 lives have been saved, and while that is simply conjecture, the number of alcohol-related deaths on the roads has fallen quite dramatically in the past year. The court decision does, however, come to the welcome conclusion that inordinately stiff penalties cannot be levied by police with virtually no chance for a driver to question the decision. Driving with a blood alcohol level over .08 is a criminal offence. Criminals don’t get charged, convicted and fined on the spot when they commit other offences; they are subject to the judicial process, which comes to a final decision of guilt or innocence based on testimony, the admissibility of evidence and the facts in front of the judge or jury. While stiff penalties remain for those who blow in the “warn” range of .05 to .08, it is now up to the province to revise the law so that it provides proper safeguards for people accused of the criminal offence of impaired driving. – The Langley Times (Black Press)
Corrections is the justice system’s weak third leg BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA ttorney General Shirley Bond is coming off another busy week, announcing new sheriff and clerk training for B.C.’s constipated court system. Then Bond joined Premier Christy Clark to introduce B.C. to another kind of sheriff, the former Los Angeles district attorney best known for busting up one of the biggest nests of crooked cops in U.S. history. Richard Rosenthal went on to clean house as independent monitor of police forces in Portland and Denver, and now he takes on B.C.’s troubled police patchwork, which has been losing the public’s confidence along with the courts. Bond’s other ministry, Public Safety and Solicitor General, announced its senior officials had selected the next commanding officer for the RCMP in B.C. It is unprecedented
A
for a province to do that but as B.C. gets ready to sign a new 20-year contract with the federal force, Bond and Clark are trying to demonstrate that they, not Ottawa, are now wearing the pants in this relationship. We’ll see. As the police and court legs of B.C.’s justice system were being strengthened, auditor general John Doyle released his latest report on the shaky third leg, corrections. In a masterpiece of understatement, Doyle’s office headlined its news release “Opportunities for improvement in community corrections.” You have likely heard about the overflowing B.C. jail system, where even segregation inmates are now being doubled up as the long wait continues for a new jail in the Okanagan. But as Doyle’s report sets out, nine out of 10 convicted adult offenders aren’t in custody. They’re on house arrest or probation, many with court-ordered conditions to report their whereabouts, stay away from their victims, stay sober and complete various

rehabilitation programs. Many are violent. There are currently 24,000 of them, an alltime high and an increase of 28% in the past six years. As with the jail population, a larger proportion have mental illness as well as addiction. And Doyle found that only about a third of them actually complete the programs they are supposed to take to prevent re-offending. Corrections branch officials say their program for male spousal abusers has a success rate of up to 50%. That’s a pretty good result for an awful crime, the second-largest category of offenders after impaired driving. But that success rate only applies to offenders who actually complete the program. Doyle found several cases where convicted abusers breached their orders to stay away from a spouse and were not returned to court. There are undoubtedly more but B.C.’s 450 probation officers can’t keep all the files up to date, much less punish every breach of conditions. Training hasn’t kept up either — fewer than half of current pro-
bation officers have completed the ministry’s anti-spousal abuse course. The NDP deplores all of this and has decades of practice doing so. The part about offenders not completing their rehabilitation reminded me of Dave Barrett in the late 1960s. In his autobiography, Barrett tells how he got into politics because prisoners in B.C. jails weren’t able to complete vocational programs. Barrett was a social worker at the old Haney Correctional Institution. By 1970 he was opposition leader, demanding the W.A.C. Bennett government shut down Haney, by then notorious for trades training that prisoners weren’t locked up long enough to finish. Each inmate was costing B.C. more than $4,000 a year, a huge sum wasted, Barrett thundered in the legislature. Today, Doyle calculates B.C. jails cost $71,000 per inmate per year, or $194 a day. Community supervision spending works out to $7 a day. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and bclocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Two views on fare gates The Editor, Re. “TransLink cops’ future queried” (The TriCity News, Dec. 9). Anyone who sincerely believes fare gates and transit smart cards will drastically reduce fare evasion has never used transit systems in other cities. Unless fare gates are over five feet tall, some people will jump over them. I have seen it done in London and Paris many times. I have also seen people with a pass or ticket that were about to go through a fare gate being pushed hard from behind by someone who didn’t wanted to pay and entered with them. Transport for London (TFL) has gates in the Tube, most commuters use a smart card (the Oyster card) and there are 500 inspectors roaming the system, yet TFL reports that fare evasion costs it almost £75 million annually, including about £40 million on the fare-gated Tube lines. Further, I am philosophically opposed to a transit “police” and shopping mall security staff in paramilitary unifor ms. Canada is not a dangerous country yet and we aren’t at war. Having all sorts of police forces and policelike security staff dilutes the power of the real police and military. In many of the countries I have travelled to, lived in, etc., transit staff wear non-military uniforms and fare checkers often wear civilian clothes, and city police departments patrol transit stations that are on their beat. J-L Brussac, Coquitlam
LOTS OF CHEATS The Editor, H av i n g l ive d o n Westwood Plateau for a year, attended college and worked full-time, I have used transit a lot. I have also read the newspaper and watched the news quite a bit, and frankly, I’m a little pissed off with all the complaining from TransLink about how it is under-funded and as well with local municipal governments in Metro Vancouver. One of the main reasons TransLink is under-funded is too many people take advantage of the services provided for free. Too many bus drivers look the other way and let riders on for free, large buses like the 99B Line have two or three entry points — again, too many people
My second issue with TransLink and local governments in Metro Vancouver is the selfishness and bickering over funding the Evergreen Line. Under the current funding system, every Metro municipality contributes to TransLink via property taxes.

Coq. store is sending tools around the world

THE TRI-CITY NEWS
If you’re wrapping a new set of power tools to go under the tree this Christmas, be sure to make space for them in the garage — and support community building projects around the world — by donating your old hammers and saws to a “tool drive” this week. KMS Tools in Coquitlam is collecting Tools for the World, an initiative it started to help Cubans rebuild after natural disaster and which has now grown to a project that distributes donated tools to places like Uganda and Haiti. “It just felt like a good thing to do, and we wanted to get involved to help people,” said Lori Pridham of KMS Tools. Since they started the project in October 2010 KMS has sent about six palettes of tools each month. To o l s d o n at e d t o KMS stores throughout B.C. and Alberta now get shipped to their Victoria location, where it gets picked up by Compassionate Resource Warehouse, an organization that ships material resources to developing countries around the world. Pridham said it’s difficult to estimate just how many tools they’ve shipped to communities working to repair and build hospitals, clinics, churches and schools because the palettes have contained tools of all shapes and sizes, including items donated by the tool chain’s suppliers and the stores themselves. “It’s good to keep in mind that not all the places the tools are shipped to have power,” Pridham said. “They may be old tools in our society that we would consider worthless, but they’re actually quite handy in other places.” • To donate tools, drop KMS Tools at 110 Woolridge St. in Coquitlam or make a financial donation (with a free smokie and pop) during the store’s sale Dec. 15 to 17. Donations go to the cost of shipping. Visit www.kmstools.com for more information. spayne@tricitynews.com

Time for by-election fund? GETon the road AGAIN! www.tricitynews.com
Tri-City News Wednesday, December 14, 2011, A13
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The high cost of getting voters to the polls for a by-election is prompting a Coquitlam city councillor to ask the provincial government to change the rules for mid-term campaigns. On Monday, at the first regular meeting for the new city council, Coun. Brent Asmundson served a notice of motion to get Victoria to amend the Local Government Act — which governs the way B.C. municipalities run —that would give more “flexibility” when elected officials quit. Last year’s by-election that saw Coun. Neal Nicholson replace Fin Donnelly, now the NDP MP for New WestminsterCoquitlam, cost Coquitlam taxpayers $180,000. In 2007, when Louella Hollington resigned and was replaced by Nicholson, the
price was $250,000 (by comparision, the budget for last month’s general election was $300,000). “We’ve had two by-elections in the last two [terms] in Coquitlam. It has cost us almost half a million dollars out of our city coffers,” Asmundson told The ASMUNDSON Tri-City Newss yesterday. “Is there a better way of dealing with by-elections? Could there be a provincial fund that the local governments contribute to help cover costs of by-elections, or Elections BC cover all the costs?” The start of the new term is the best time to deal with the issue, Asmundson argued, “so that we’re getting ahead of any possibility of a by-election, if there is
Coq. scraps committees By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
City council on Monday scrapped its current committee system, saying the structure was too onerous and redundant. Rather than four standing committees — land use, engineering, recreation and strategic priorities — and advisory committees, city council will instead meet as a whole on three Mondays a month at 2 p.m. to receive delegations from the public and presentations from staff. “Council-incommittee” would not pass resolutions for the next regular council meetings but would act as a forum; however, two standing committees will be created next year: a finance committee and strategic priorities committee “to address high-level strategic budget and policy decisions,” wrote city clerk Jay Gilbert in his Dec. 12 report. As well, two town hall meetings will be held next year to gauge public feedback: Saturday, April 28 (in the morning) and Thursday, Oct. 4 (at night). In other council news: Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart will re t u r n a s a M e t ro Vancouver board director next year but he will have a new city representative at the table with him. Coun. Mae Reid will fill the second regional chair to replace Coun. Lou Sekora; both have three votes at the board. As well, Coun. Linda Reimer will take Barrie Lynch’s chair on Metro’s L ab o u r Rel at i o n s Bureau, which will start collective bargaining with unions in the new year.
City council is also asking Metro for more Coquitlam representation on regional committees. T his year, Coquitlam councillors were on five committees; in 2012, it’s asking for four more committees: finance, intergover nmental, re gional culture and waste management. Metro board and committee directors are paid $330 a meeting, and double if it goes over four hours. As for city statutory committees, council re-appointed Lance Guek, Bertha Rojas and Jack Trumley to the library board and also named Ron Lee and John J.J. McCullough. Nic Dominelli will also return to the board of variance. Reimer is also the council rep for the library board and the joint family court youth justice committee, while Coun. Craig Hodge will chair the parcel tax review panel. Other council appointments: • City/school board liaison committee: Coun. Terry O’Neill (chair), Hodge (vice-chair) • Fraser Health gove r n m e n t a dv i s o r y council: Coun. Neal Nicholson • Lower Mainland treaty advisory committee: Coun. Brent Asmundson • Northeast sector environmental stewardship committee: Coun. Neal Nicholson • Tri-Cities early childhood development committee: Coun.

one.” A provincial by-election is expected to be called by Premier Christy Clark by the spring to replace Iain Black, who quit his MLA seat in Port Moody-Coquitlam in October to take a job with the Vancouver Board of Trade. As well, a provincial election is tentatively scheduled for May 14, 2013 — a yearand-a-half before the next civic vote. No Coquitlam councillors have said publicly they will seek provincial seats. Asmundson suggested the by-election rules change could be made next year when Victoria is expected to implement task force recommendations for municipal elections related to campaign financing, earlier election dates and length of terms, among other things. Asmundson’s motion will be discussed by city council at its next regular meeting in January. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Two of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of Acupuncture: • Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of Migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and now had taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture treatment was done on her over five visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches. • Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon with older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to ten times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptom had gone and he doesn’t have the urgency to visit the bathroom as often.

“Everyone needs to feel that they are loved and cared for, and this is a way I could do that.”
By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
One good idea can often lead to even better one and that appears to be the case at Dr. Charles Best secondary school, where students are making Christmas special for 150 seniors. Last Wednesday, about 30 Best students wrapped a mountain of gifts they’d bought for seniors living at Belvedere Care Centre in Coquitlam. Melanie Hameluk, who organized the wrapping event, said she has a “sweet spot” for elderly people, especially those without close family, and
Melanie Hameluk, a Grade 12 student at Dr. Charles Best secondary who organized a Christmass gift program for local seniors was compelled to do something that might make them happy. “Everyone needs to feel that they are loved and cared for, and this is a way I could do that,” said Hameluk, who’s in Grade 12 at the Coquitlam school.
Her original idea was to host mini birthday parties for seniors but was introduced to the Be a Santa for a Senior program run by Home Instead Senior Care’s Port Coquitlam outlet. Each year, the care provider canvasses for gifts for about 700
Tri-City seniors. Hameluk thought it was the perfect fit until she could get her birthday party idea off the ground and was able to find 150 students willing to buy gifts for the residents at Belvedere. “In the last few days, I ran out of gifts,”
Hameluk said while handing out tape and wrapping paper to her fellow students in the school cafeteria. She had a list of gift ideas and, and with the help of her mom, created a spread sheet to match students and gift ideas with seniors’ requests. Gifts ranged from lap blankets to lotions, perfumes to sweaters and even a pair of suspenders for one resident. “I think our kids are awesome,” said Best principal Mary O’Neill, who said she was proud of the student initiative. “They are not just giving of themselves but of their time.” Hameluk, who plans to study pediatric nursing after high school, said she still wants to pursue the idea of hosting mini birthday parties with cupcakes and balloons for seniors who don’t have any family. She got the idea after listening to the
song “Don’t Blink” by country singer Kenny Chesney, in which a 102-year-old man tells a young interviewer not to blink or life passes by too quickly. “I thought about it a lot,” Hameluk said, “and then I decided to turn my thoughts to action.” Evelyne Krautsack, director of recruitment and retention for Home Instead, said she plans to work on the birthday idea with Hameluk in the new year. In the meantime, she said, she is amazed by the Best students’ interest in improving the lives of elderly people in their community. “Honestly, I really respect that the younger generation are volunteering themselves and their time for such a huge task, and for the seniors, to make sure they aren’t forgotten.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Kids, up for a challenge? A GOOD READ
Deborah Duncan
F
or the ninth year, Fraser Valley Regional Library and Coquitlam Public Library are presenting the Reading Link Challenge to Grade 4 and 5 students. The teams are chosen and the reading has begun. Teams will advance through three levels of challenge until the winner emerges in April. This year’s books have something for all tastes and we know that other readers would enjoy them as well. • Seaglass Summer by Anjali Banerjee: 11-year-old Poppy is excited to be spending the summer on an island with her veterinarian uncle. Her parents are visiting relatives in India but she plans to be a vet herself and would rather help out in the clinic. Things don’t go exactly as planned, however, as she discovers the hard side to caring for animals. An older boy helping at the clinic teases her, animals die, she has to rescue a duck in the bathroom and her suitcase full of vet supplies is lost on the first day. Will she survive her dream summer? • Safe as Houses by
Eric Walters: This is an exciting survival tale about a young babysitter caring for two younger children when Hurricane Hazel strikes Ontario in 1954. They think they will be safe inside the house until the river rises and carries away everything in its path. Elizabeth must show how brave and resourceful she can be when not even a house is safe anymore. Wilson is a well-known Canadian writer and he based this book on true rescue stories of the time. • Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School and Other Scary Things by Lenore Look: Alvin is a middle child who is afraid of almost everything. He cannot talk in school and keeps lists of how to behave in all sorts of scary situations. Luckily, he has
some good friends who like him anyway and when he is dressed as Firecracker Man, he is ready for anything. This short, easy-to-read book with lots of illustrations is part of a series. • George’s Cosmic Treasure Hunt by Lucy and Stephen Hawking: Yes, famous scientist Stephen Hawking and his daughter have written a second book about George and Annie, who can access a supercomputer and transport themselves through time and space. (The first book was George’s Secret Key to the Universe.) With a younger boy genius to help them, they travel to planets, receive alien messages and battle dust storms. Sections of NASA photos and science facts make this a fascinating read for children and adults alike. • Extra Credit by Andrew Clements: Popular author Clements has written another engaging school story about Abby, who is failing several subjects. In order to pass into Grade 7, she agrees to write to a pen pal in Afghanistan and do reports but her pal is not allowed to write to a girl. The village elders decide that his younger
sister can write the letters in Dari and Sadeed can translate them into English. The plan falls apart when his sister is not able to write very good letters and Sadeed takes over, writing fascinating letters about his life. Abby is shocked and impressed by his letters and puts her heart into her replies. Soon, the conservative village men find out what is going on and Sadeed is in big trouble. The alternating chapters in the voices of the two children in such different worlds make for a fascinating read. • Because of Winn Dixie by Kate Di Camillo: Named for the grocery store where he is rescued, Winn Dixie the smiling dog makes a big difference in Opal’s life. After moving with her single father to a trailer park in smalltown Florida, Opal is in need of friends. She gradually meets a wonderfully eccentric group of people through her new dog and finally convinces her father to tell her about her mother, who left them years before. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Deborah Duncan works at Coquitlam Public Library.

Beloved children’s entertainer will be singing her favourite classics and some new material By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
W
ith titles like “Four Hugs a Day,” “I am a Pizza,” “The Hug Bug” and “Dicky Dicky Dinosaur,” singer Charlotte Diamond has been making kids and adults alike smile for 25 years. She’ll be celebrating that milestone, as well as launching her latest album, 24 Carrot Diamond - the Best of Charlotte Diamond, at Chapters in Pinetree Village on Dec. 18. “It was really fun to put together,” Diamond said of the album that features all her biggest hits. The Richmond resident has had a lifelong interest in music, singing with local folk groups while studying zoology and French at UBC before going on to teach high school for the next 12 years. When her own two kids were born Diamond began singing and writing songs for them; after developing a preschool music program in her community she was getting frequent requests to perform for schools and workshops. Pretty soon she was playing concerts around Vancouver and throughout B.C. She formed the Hug Bug Band and released her first album, 10 Carrot Diamond, which won a Juno Award in 1986. “It was so successful it launched the career I never thought I would have,” Diamond said; 25 years later Diamond has produced 13 albums, two DVDs and several music books. She’s been recognized with five Parents’ Choice Awards and three American Library Association Awards. The 24 Carrot Diamond CD is a celebration of her bestknown songs, including “All the Nations Like Banana,” “Each of us is a Flower,” “La
Bamba,” and “Octopus.” “They’re very singable, not only for kids but also for parents,” Diamond said, particularly songs like “The Laundry,” “Looking for Dracula,” and “You Never Praise me Enough,” which show the “slightly darker side of life for parents.” It’s important to have a variety, she added, with some tracks that are more oriented to quieter, thoughtful times to balance out the upbeat rhythms of “Banana” and “I am a Pizza.” “The time parents get to spend with their children goes by so fast, and things like singing together or making cookies together or building something together where maybe you can sing a song or have fun playing around with music, it’s so crucial because that’s what kids remember,” Diamond said. A perennial Golden Spike Days and Festival du Bois favourite, Diamond and her music have played a big role in the lives of countless kids here and abroad (she’s toured Canada, the U.S. and Costa Rica several times). Her own two boys, now aged 36 and 33, were her initial inspiration and are now part of the family entertainment business. They’ve grown up on “Four Hugs a Day” and learned early on to “Leave the World a Little Better.” Now Diamond’s grandchildren, including two-yearold Jakob and four-year-old William, who live in Port Moody with their parents, are providing new material for her to work with. “I Have Shoes and I Can Walk,” an as-yet unrecorded song Diamond will sing at Chapters, was written for William a couple of years ago when “he would just run run run everywhere,” Diamond laughed. “One of the verses is ‘I have shoes and I can stop.’ William got the idea and it really worked.” • Charlotte Diamond is at Coquitlam’s Chapters in Pinetree Village Dec. 18 at 11:30 a.m. to sing and sign autographs.

A parade of light will be shone during one of the darkest days of the year in Port Moody next week. M u s i c i a n Joye l l e Brandt and fitness instructor Melanie Montgomery, both PoMo residents, are organizing their first annual winter solstice festival at Rocky Point Park on Wednesday, Dec. 21 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Brandt said she attended many solstice events in Vancouver, when she was a resident there, and wanted to copy the idea in her new hometown. “I didn’t want to haul my four-year-old all the way out to Vancouver,” she said, “so I thought, ‘Why not have one here?’” To date, the response has been overwhelming, she said, with a Facebook page full of p o s i t ive c o m m e n t s about the upcoming festival. In fact, Brandt and Montgomery are now asking attendees to bring food and non-alcoholic drinks to share with the crowd for a potluck dinner; business donations are being

www.tricitynews.com
Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Most people know pantomime as wordless acting. Ellie King knows it as something quite different –– and timeless. “The real British pantomime is actually a big piece of theatre history, if done properly,” said King, who is the artistic director of the Evergreen Cultural Centre-spiced Sword and the Stone, a Royal Canadian Theatre Company production running Dec. 15 to 31 at the Surrey Arts Centre. “It’s been around for 400 years and is very loud... [with] voices, music, song and dance and audience participation. It’s really a family event. It’s a large amount of fun.” Two of the Sword’s main characters –– G’Norman the Gnome and Arthur –– are played by Evergreen’s own Christopher Lewis MacLeod and Mandy Tulloch, an ECC instructor. The show’s musical director (and King’s husband) Geoff King is another transplant; his full-time gig is technical operations manager at ECC. The British-born King is most familiar
herself with Evergreen, having played the lead role in Shirley Valentinee there in two separate productions, among roles in various other plays. King was introduced to the panto at just three years old, and brought her vast experience in the beloved Brit tradition as a writer, director and producer when she moved to Canada in 1982. She stays true to panto’s traditions with everyday topics like government and politics while modernizing it with current Canadian hot-button issues like the HST –– all in the name of good, clean humour. Janice Cotter, another Evergreen notable who’s volunteering for the hilarious King Arthur-makeover of Sword, said King’s passion for British pantomime is something of which everybody should get at least a taste, if not a heaping dose. “It’s a celebration of our favourite childhood fairytales and legends, reworked and turned on their ear by uproarious characters, zany original and adapted songs, mixed in with generous amounts of innuendo and high-spirited audience interaction,” Cotter said. “Pantomimes are suit-

Win, lose and draw for Express squad By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Coquitlam Express failed to gain much ground in the BCHL standings after losing to the Cowichan Valley Capitals on home turf Sunday afternoon. Coquitlam had a commanding
lead going into the final frame before allowing three unanswered goals in the closing minutes to drop the match 5-4 in front 737 fans at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. The Capitals opened the scoring on the power play less than three minutes into the game after Vinny
Muto fed Devin Gannon to make it 1-0 for the visitors. But the Express responded two minutes later, also with the man advantage, with a goal from Alex Petan assisted by Brady Shaw to close out the first period. Both teams exchanged goals in the second before Coquitlam’s
Shaw helped his squad to a lead with a power play marker in the dying minutes of the second. Express forward John Seimer scored Coquitlam’s fourth goal of the game 11 seconds into the third period, however the team’s scoring dried up after that. Goals from the Capitals’ Matt
Brown, Matthew Grant and Steven Iacobellis helped the visitors take the lead and win the game. The weekend started out well for the Express after the club defeated the Coastal Conference’s third place Surrey Eagles 4-1. see EAGLES, page 28

Panthers trade results in weekend matches Team drops 8-0 decision to Delta at Port Moody Arena By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
It is a game the Port Moody Black Panthers are hoping they can quickly put behind them. On Saturday night the Delta Ice Hawks embarrassed the home team 8-0 at the Port Moody Arena in a game where the Black Panthers struggled at both ends of
the ice. Delta’s superior firepower tallied 54 shots to Port Moody’s 27 with Panther’s netminder Mark Menicucci getting the hook in favour of backup Zachary Station at the end of the middle frame. The Ice Hawks’ Kolten Grieve dominated early, scoring an even-strength goal eight minutes into the game before tallying a power play marker with five minutes left in the opening frame. He scored his third goal of the game three minutes into the second on a feed from Spencer Traher, who was the games
second star of the night with three points. Despite the loss Port Moody saw little movement in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League standings. In the Harold Brittain Conference Port Moody is 14 points behind second place Abbotsford Pilots, but is 10 points up on the fourth place Mission Icebreakers, giving the Black Panthers a lock on their third place slot. The team had an easier time on Friday night against the Ridge Meadows Flames, a squad that is currently occupying the league basement at 4-20-0.
Ridge Meadows managed to jump out to an early victory with two goals from Matthew Bissett before Port Moody’s Julian Klaric got hit team on the scoreboard. Flames forward Sean Pesut helped his team to a 3-1 lead before the Black Panthers began to crawl back with goals from Anthony Borri and Trevor Kang. In the last period Port Moody took the lead with a power play goal from Rino Minni and a shorthanded marker from Kang to win the game 5-4. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

After both teams traded goals in the first period Coquitlam did not look back, scoring three unanswered markers to win the game, two from team newcomer Dante Godhino. But the Express did not fair quite as well during a rematch against Surrey on the road. The seesaw af fair ended in a 3-3 tie after Siemer and Petan opened the scoring early in the game. The Eagles responded with markers from Devon Toews and Tyler Morley before Coquitlam’s Cody Michelle helped his team to a lead on the powerplay.
