The owner of a former Coquitlam daycarewhere an infant boy died will have to wait amonth to find out her fate.

A judge decided to hold over sentencing forMaria McFerran, the Port Coquitlam womanwho pleaded guilty to criminal negligence caus-ing death.

McFerran was charged in connection with thedeath of Arto Howley, a one-year-old infant ather Rattle-N-Roll daycare back on Jan. 17, 2011.

The 49-year-old was in Port Coquitlam provin-cial court Tuesday for her sentencing hearing.

The Crown asked the judge to consider a jailsentence of two to three years, while the defensewas asking for six to 12 months.

The proceedings also included heart-wrench-ing victim impact statements from Arto’s parents,Jeff and Victoria Howley.

“The day I heard my son was killed, the goodpart of me died with him,” Jeff told a courtroomfilled with emotional family members.

An aging Coquitlam sewage main will move to the top of areplacement list after a leak spilled an unknown amount ofraw sewage into nearby Scott Creek on the weekend.

The leak was first detected Saturday night by city crews whowere performing routine inspections on the pipe in the 1100block of Lansdowne Drive.

At one point, a dozen vacuum trucks were on scene to helpclean up the spill.

By Monday, city officials still hadn’t determined the exactcause of the leak or how much of the sewage — or grey wateras it’s also called — had leaked out from the 14-inch sewerforce main into the nearby creek.

However, Mayor Richard Stewart noted the vast majority ofthe sewage had been contained.

“We don’t want any sewage to get into the creek,” he said,adding there was no smell from the spill and much of theliquid was bathtub and dishwasher water.

The 35-year-old main itself reportedly handles one millionlitres a day.

The main had been on a list to be replaced prior to the leakand will now be fast-tracked.

It’s expected the one-kilometre main will be replaced inthe next couple of weeks, but Stewart isn’t sure how much itwould cost.

He suggested given the location near the railroad tracksand a creek, it would be more expensive than a typicalreplacement.

“It’s not going to be a question of costs, but how quickly wecan do it,” he said.

The mayor also sees the incident as an example of the

aging infrastructure problems facing municipalities across thecountry.

He’s calling on senior levels of government to step up anddevelop a national strategy and co-ordinated plan to deal withthe replacement of infrastructure.

Stewart suggested billions of dollars are needed in MetroVancouver alone to address the issue.

“We have to make sure that people feel our infrastructureis reliable, and that is going to require investment,” he said,adding the city has hundreds of pipes in need of replacement.

However, the mayor also contends Coquitlam is in bettershape than most cities because of all the new constructionfrom the Evergreen Line, which he said allows for the oldinfrastructure to be replaced at the same time.

Fred Soofi, the owner of Pasta Polo Restaurant, which islocated a short distance from the origin of the leak, said this isthe second time a similar leak has occurred.

He said the most recent failure appeared much bigger, alsonoting the bathrooms at his restaurant were backed up onSunday.

Though he agrees with the mayor the main was old, hequestions why the city didn’t plan ahead and have the pipereplaced sooner.

“I don’t know why they did not take care of it in the firstplace,” he said.

The city also noted it was working with the Ministry ofEnvironment to handle the incident.

A popular trail running along theKwikwetlem First Nation reserve is closed tothe public.

Signs along the Traboulay PoCo Trailthrough Coquitlam Indian Reserve No. 2 wentup Tuesday, indicating the dike would beclosed to the general public. Officials with theband said the dike needs to be closed untilproper maintenance and liability issues areaddressed.

“We hope the public understands we’re notdoing this for any other reason than to ensureit’s [the trail] safe and properly maintained,”said Dale Lessoway, the band’s lands andresource manager.

He wasn’t sure how long the trail wouldbe closed, but the hope is to have it reopenedfor the Wheel2Heal fundraiser bike ride thatruns through part of the trail at the beginningof May.

Lessoway explained part of the problemis the band had assumed the province’s dikeauthority would assist in funding the main-tenance of the trail, but was told the land isunder federal jurisdiction. He said the banddoesn’t have the tax base to pay for the trail’smaintenance and liability and it’s now lookingfor other funding sources.

“We have to go to these drastic measures tomake sure that everything is done right beforewe reopen it again,” he said, noting the banddoes have a permitting process that would beused to ensure the Wheel2Heal event goesahead even if a deal can’t be worked out foranother funding source.

The City of Port Coquitlam had a three-yearagreement with the band to maintain andrepair the dike, but that agreement ended inFebruary.

Under the agreement, PoCo would main-tain the dike through the reserve, providesigns on the trail, two picnic tables and anadvertisement in the spring parks and recrea-

tion brochure promoting the band’s tour andbike rental business.

The band would then provide unrestrictedaccess to the dike for the trail and be allowedto close it for a funeral or other ceremony.

On March 1, the band advised the city it

would be taking over the maintenance andrepair.

In a statement to The Tri-Cities NOW, aPoCo official noted the city is in the process ofarranging a meeting with the band “to discussthe coordination of flood protection activities

as well as continuing to work together toensure public access and safety.”

Lessoway wasn’t sure exactly how much themaintenance and liability for the trail wouldcost, but suggested it would be in the thou-sands of dollars.

Coquitlam Mountieshad a portion of LougheedHighway closed for severalhours Tuesday, after a fatalcrash involving two vehicles.

The crash happened justafter noon at Lougheed andPitt River Road.

Police offered few details,but confirmed that one per-son was killed while a numberof other people were injuredand taken to hospital.

The RCMP also said thecrash involved a van, whichreportedly flipped over sev-eral times.

“We don’t have any otherinformation to release atthese early stages of theinvestigation,” said RCMPCpl. Jamie Chung in a state-ment Tuesday afternoon.

“We urge witnesses who

have not spoken to an officerto contact us.”

Collision analysts were alsocalled to the scene as part ofthe investigation, which shutdown the busy highway untillate in the afternoon.

Police are asking anyonewho witnessed the incidentto call them at 604-945-1550and quote file number 2013-10291.

described his life since Arto’s death, notinghe’s gone into depression and alcoholism andcontemplates suicide every day.

Jeff also told the court the stress of his son’sdeath destroyed his marriage, noting he losthis job and had to move to Alberta to live withhis parents before moving toKamloops where he currentlyresides.

“Life sucks for me,” he said.Arto’s mother Victoria

showed the judge a picture ofher young son during her state-ment.

She said she has trouble see-ing other children since herson’s death, adding the emo-tional scars have been over-whelming.

Outside the courthouse,Victoria told media no punish-ment could fit the crime.

“No sentence could ease the pain of losingArto or make up for the devastating impactthat loss has had on our family,” she said.

In her statement, Victoria also called forchanges to the daycare system, specificallysuggesting the system should be set up so thatfamilies have easy access to information tomake decisions about a daycare.

“We picked Maria McFerran based on theinformation that was available to us at thetime,” she said.

“We now know that information wasn’tcomplete.”

The facts of the case were also laid out dur-ing Tuesday’s proceedings.

As heard in court, the Howleys droppedoff their son at the daycare on ShaughnessyStreet on the morning of Jan. 17.

It was his first day at the daycare.Though the unlicensed facility was only

supposed to have two children, on the mor-ning of Arto’s death, six other children were inthe care of McFerran and her daughter, who

also helped out.At around 10 a.m., McFerran

put Arto in a car seat and lefthim alone in a bedroom.

When she checked back onhim at 11:15 a.m., Arto wasunresponsive and slumpedover in the car seat.

McFerran removed theinfant from the car seat andtook him downstairs to herdaughter.

She put the car seat in thegarage and then called 911seven minutes later.

Arto died, and the cause ofdeath was ruled strangulation.

When police arrived, she told investigatorsshe had last seen the infant an hour earlier ina crib.

However, the next day, McFerran changedher story, confessing to police she had putArto in the car seat.

McFerran’s lawyer, Mark Bussanich, toldthe judge his client has shown “deep remorse”and will likely never be in a courtroom again.

A tearful McFerran also stood up in court toaddress the Howley family, quietly stating: “Ijust want to say I’m sorry.”

Justice David Stone will hand down his sen-tence on May 27.

The election campaign isofficially underway, whichmeans British Columbianswill have to endure 28 daysof overblown rhetoric, per-

sonal invective, half-truths and a fairamount of hypocrisy.

And it will come from the entirerange of the political spectrum. Nomatter who wins the vote on May 14,no party will emerge with clean handswhen it comes to being completelyforthright with the electorate.

The two major parties — the NDPand the B.C. Liberals — would haveyou believe, for example, that they havecompletely opposite approaches to theprovince’s finances.

Nothing could be further from thetruth.

Both parties want to raise corpor-ate income taxes. Both parties want toraise income taxes on the rich. Therewas a time when such policies werethe darling of the left, but now the B.C.Liberals have adopted the same philoso-phy as the NDP.

Of course, the NDP wants a 12-per-cent corporate tax rate while the B.C.Liberals prefer an 11-per-cent rate. Isuppose the former is unbridled social-ism, while the latter is unfettered cap-italism.

The B.C. Liberals are in the midst ofrunning four and possibly five deficitbudgets (I’m not one of the measly12 per cent of British Columbianswho, according to pollster Ipsos-Reid,actually believe the current one will bebalanced) and the NDP intends to tablethree consecutive deficit budgets.

The B.C. Liberals will have doubledthe provincial debt during their time inoffice, which is exactly what the NDPdid during their administration in the1990s.

The B.C. Liberals have provided mas-sive spending hikes to the health-care

system.The NDP intends to do the same. Do I

sense a pattern here?About the only real difference

between the two parties’ fiscal plansis the NDP’s plan to re-introduce a tax(which existed during the early term ofthe B.C. Liberal government) on banksand financial institutions.

The NDP would also expand whichactivities are captured by the carbontax (a tax created, of course, by the B.C.Liberals).

Does this really represent a yawningideological schism between the twoparties, or does it merely indicate therather grim fiscal reality facing eitherparty should it win the election?

Yet, on the campaign trail, I’m surewe’ll hear the NDP talk about howthe B.C. Liberals have somehow “cut”health-care spending, no matter howmisleading (and wrong) such a state-ment really is.

And the B.C. Liberals will denouncethe New Democrats as tax-and-spenderswho will run up deficits, when they’vedone exactly the same on ChristyClark’s watch.

Each party will wrap itself in a cloakof self-righteous indignation, portray-ing itself as the only competent alterna-tive, the only one to be trusted with thelevers of power.

But brush all these flotsam and jet-sam aside and we’ll be left with twocentral campaign messages coming

from each of the major parties.For the B.C. Liberals, that message

will be “it’s all about trust,” as in: Whocan you trust best with growing theeconomy and handling provincial finan-ces?

This will involve a double-barrelledapproach that combines the partyboasting of its economic skills whileportraying the NDP’s time in govern-ment as a complete disaster for theprovince.

The NDP, meanwhile, will exploit theapparent widespread desire (accordingto opinion polls) for a change in govern-ment in this province.

Any party that spends more than adozen years in government piles up alot of baggage, and the NDP will remindvoters of that baggage over and overagain.

There will be plenty of photo ops onthe leaders’ campaigns that are focusedon such issues as health care, educa-tion, forestry and the environment.While all those issues are important,they are not what this election is about.“Trust” and “change” are the key emo-tional issues driving the vote.

Of course, the two minor (fornow) political parties — the B.C.Conservatives and the Greens — willtry to make their voices heard over thenext month.

I suspect they will have more successthan in previous campaigns because theelectorate appears more volatile thistime around.

So hang on tight for the next 28 days.The end result will be either a change ingovernment, a miracle comeback for alltime, or a historic breakthrough by oneof the minor parties.

But a lot of hot air will be expelledbefore we know which scenario we’llend up with.

Keith Baldrey is chief politicalreporter for Global BC.

Some elections — including a few of our mostrecent federal ones — are tame affairs, with theoutcome mainly predetermined, at least for ushere in B.C. The provincial election should be alot more interesting.

The official campaign began yesterday, and while poll-sters have pegged Adrian Dix and the NDP as squarely inthe lead, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing left to decide.

The Tri-Cities will elect four MLAs to the legislature.While NDPers Joe Trasolini and Mike Farnworth

are widely viewed as the frontrunners in Port Moody-Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, respectively, they do havesome competition. Coquitlam councillor Linda Reimer willtake on Trasolini for the Liberals, while Barbara Lu, a 24-year-old SFU grad, will carry the Liberal banner againstFarnworth.

In Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, the Tri-Cities’ loneBC Liberal MLA, Doug Horne, will try to hang onto hisseat against NDP challenger Chris Wilson. Wilson has ahigh profile due to his work with KidSport TriCities andOperation Red Nose, as well as his status as a formerOlympian, while Horne has the benefit of being an incum-bent.

In Coquitlam-Maillardville, city councillor SelinaRobinson (NDP) and businessman Steve Kim (BC Liberals)will face off against each other. The riding is up forgrabs with the retirement of incumbent NDP MLA DianeThorne, so we’re guaranteed to have at least one new MLAin Victoria next month.

Province-wide, we have the BC Liberals launchingattack ads against Adrian Dix, and Dix vowing not to sayanything negative about his opponents.

Locally, we don’t expect things to get nasty, but doexpect fierce competition. We’ll provide profiles of thecandidates, as well as coverage of the issues, to help youdecide how to vote. Join us. It should be a wild ride.

SKYTRAIN TECHNOLOGYHAS LOTS OF BENEFITS

Re: “Numbers don’t jive,” letter to the editor,Friday, April 12.

I am interested in why the writer has missed the follow-ing benefits to using SkyTrain for the Evergreen Line:

1) Little to no access to the guideway by shortcuttingpedestrians, vandals or terrorists.

2) Elevated guideway reduces noise and vibration toneighbouring properties.

3) No level crossings and the associated death and injuryclaims, maintenance and delays for road traffic.

4) The land under the guideway and stations can be usedfor trails, bike paths or commercial uses.

5) SkyTrain does not stop for labour issues.6) Little chance of a rider’s death and injury due to the

physical or mental impairment of a driver.7) The obvious economies of scale of using existing

trains, computers, maintenance yards, parts and staff andtheir training.

I find it frustrating that the above points (and I’m surethere are other pros and cons) are not part of the ongoingback-and-forth discussions about the merits of the vari-ous systems. Surely we have to consider much more thanmoney or union versus non-union.

AVOTEOFCONFIDENCEFOR THESCHOOL BOARD

Re: “School districtannounces $8M deficit,”Friday, April 12.

The current budget shortfallof School District 43 is not new.Albeit, this year’s figures are dis-turbing and School District 43’sadministrative staff will be spend-ing precious time sorting it allout.

However, it is unlikely theywill discover $8 million of mis-spent money. My teenage chil-dren have had the good fortune ofexperiencing a myriad of sound,relevant, motivating, supportiveeducational programs from kin-dergarten through Grade 12 inSchool District 43.

Good education comes at acost, much of it from salaries.That’s a no-brainer; kids needliving mentors/adults to supporttheir learning.

There is a bigger problemhere. I’ve been involved in SchoolDistrict 43’s parent advisorycouncils (PACs) since 2001 andhave observed our trustees con-sistently submit balanced budgetswhile also having the courage to

formally submit written requeststo the Ministry of Education forsustainable, long-term, adequatefunding for our students’ educa-tion.

Not many other school boardshave been as outspoken, and ourelected trustees were not alwayslooked upon with the respect theydeserved.

Instead, like other school dis-tricts and public services (i.e. hos-pitals), they were forced to spendtime and resources looking forways to generate revenue.

School boards should ask ourMinistry of Education to take overthe time and costs involved inmarketing and operating inter-national education programs.

Then provincial “profits” couldhelp to provide sustained andadequate funding for all schooldistricts in our province.

I’m hoping that the SchoolDistrict 43 board of educationwill successfully bring to lightthe many other financial pres-sures (carbon taxes?) that do notbelong under the jurisdiction ofproviding a good public educa-tion. I fully support them as theycontinue to advocate for the edu-cation of our children, as we elect-ed them to do.

PAY PARKINGCOSTS ADDUP

Welcome to Vancouver East. Imoved out of Vancouver for amore affordable way of life andthough parking fees would notbe a huge expense it is another“nickel and diming” trend seen inVancouver.

I avoid sites and malls wherethere is pay parking becauseevery nickel does count when youare raising a family and I need toprioritize where my money goes.

I am happy for people who don’tmind paying for parking on roadsthat they have already paid forwith their taxes, but I do mind.

SCRAP GUNLICENCERENEWAL FEES

What will Prime MinisterStephen Harper and followers donext to skim off more revenuefrom the savings of Canadians?

They’ve done a wonderful jobby removing the gun registry, butare now introducing more con-trols just to skim money from youand I.

And we continue to receivenewsletters from local represent-atives about what a great job theConservatives are doing.

The gun registry has provenuseless in controlling illegal fire-arms. The fee was dropped forregistrations.

The Conservatives already havethis information but to continueto build their revenues, are intro-ducing a gun licence renewal fee.For what, to tell us what a greatjob they are doing?

Stop sending our money toother countries for aid or what-ever without any due diligenceor control of where the funds areused. No more fees. Let’s get real.

PortMoody tomakeheritage bylaw retroactiveJeremy [email protected]

For the last two years,the City of Port Moody has

dangled a carrot to get resi-dents to fix up their old herit-

age homes. The problem isthat since the city’s heritage

revitalization tax exemptionbylaw was passed in 2011,

not a single homeowner hasapplied.

So in an effort to sparknew interest in the initiative,council is in the process ofamending the bylaw to makeit retroactive to when it wasfirst approved in 2011.

This would essentiallyallow residents who fixedtheir homes up in the timesince the bylaw was passedbut failed to apply, to nowapply for the tax exemption.

Coun. Diana Dilworthexplained the city has spokento several people who becomeaware of the credit afterdoing the work and wouldlike the opportunity to applyfor the exemption.

She said part of the prob-lem with the bylaw stemmedfrom a lack of awareness.

“It wasn’t marketed, peopleweren’t aware of it and it gotlost,” Dilworth told The Tri-Cities NOW.

“So we had this great pro-gram but no one knew aboutit.”

The councillor believes ifa few people sign up for theexemption and word getsout, more will follow, whichwould make the bylaw suc-cessful in helping preserveheritage buildings.

There are two types of pro-jects eligible for the exemp-tion: a conservation projectthat includes the preserva-tion of the heritage signifi-cance of a building in thecity’s heritage registry witha cost of $15,000 or more,or an investment project ona lot where the work exceedsmore than $100,000 in con-struction.

A staff report noted that byallowing retroactive projectsto apply for the exemption,the city expects awareness ofthe program to grow and pro-ject applications to come in inthe future.

The amendment receivedthree readings at the coun-cil meeting April 9, and willmove to a public hearingbefore final adoption.

PortMoodyvotes to holdoffon sign plan


They are literally the signs that an election is underway.With the provincial election campaign officially underway

as of yesterday (Tuesday), the candidates in Port Moody willlikely be happy to know they can go full-steam ahead when itcomes to campaign signs.

The city was looking into a bylaw restricting signage on pub-lic property during municipal, provincial and federal elections,but deferred the legislation until after this year’s provincialvote. A staff report noted the upcoming election would be agood time to observe the results of the current bylaw.

The city said it would also be best to defer the bylaw, since itwould come into effect in the middle of the campaign.

Though there is some suggestion the city can’t prohibit theinstallation of signs for federal campaigns, council has askedstaff to go back and look into having the bylaw extend to allthree elections.

Mayor Mike Clay said the city isn’t in a rush to see the newbylaw on the books, and believes it can be applied to all threeelections.

Coun. Diana Dilworth suggested city staff talk to othermunicipalities to determine under which provisions they’vemanaged to restrict the number and locations of signs duringprovincial and federal elections.

Under the proposed bylaw, federal and provincial electionsigns would be permitted in seven locations, including MurrayStreet boulevard, north side; Barnet Highway at WestwoodHonda; Ioco Road at Pioneer Park; Falcon Drive and NoonsCreek Drive; Ailsa Avenue, north side at Glenayre Drive;southeast corner of Clarke Street and Barnet Highway; and theeast side of Moody Street at Clarke Street.

The proposed bylaw comes from a task force formed after thelast civic election to look into municipal campaign reforms.

The bylaw was deferred until the May 28 council meeting.

PoCo focuses onoffering service

John [email protected]

The top-of-mind concernfor Port Coquitlam’s businesstask force is simple — thatevery interaction with cityofficials ends on a positivenote.

From there, it’s hoped thegood word will spread.

Made up of city council-lors and a hand-ful of representa-tives spanningthe business com-munity, the taskforce deliveredits report to PoCocouncil on April8 after more thana year’s worth ofgauging the city’sbusiness climate.

The highlightof the report is aheightened focuson customer ser-vice and a push tohave all depart-ments working in tandem todeliver that level of service.

“In everything that we do,we need to have a focus oncustomer service and payattention to how we can help,rather than presenting peoplewith a bunch of rules,” saidCoun. Mike Forrest, chair ofthe task force, in an interviewwith The Tri-Cities NOW.

Forrest acknowledgedthat municipalities acrossMetro Vancouver are con-ducting similar exercises,pitting much larger cities —Vancouver, Burnaby, Surreyand Richmond for example— against smaller ones likePoCo in an effort to attract

and retain business.Knowing that Port

Coquitlam can’t compete onthe same financial footing,much of the focus has to relyon reputation rather thanresources.

“Our focus is to prove tothe business community thatevery time the Port Coquitlamname comes up with some-body, that they had positive

impressions ofhow they werehandled here,”Forrest said.

“The travellingof that informa-tion, throughwherever it goes,will be the biggestthing that can bedone to bring indi-vidual companiesto our doorstep.”

Some of theother recommen-dations comingout of the reportinclude adopt-

ing more “business friendly”policies around zoning anddesign guidelines, enhancedcommunication efforts acrosscity departments, a pledge toset reasonable taxes and feesand increased efforts to buylocal.

An annual event celebrat-ing the local business com-munity is also in the works.

“After consulting withhundreds of businesses, yousee how the success of ourbusiness community is tiedto the overall health of thecommunity,” said fellow taskforce member Coun. BradWest.

Attention Lower Mainland Home Owners:23 of you are about to make an important financial decision...

“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $5136 Furnacesfor $1181 with Off-Season Central Air ...”

NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS AND INTEREST FREE TIL 2014*(This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old)

Dear FriendI’m about to make you a deal that’s

hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older”(and probably less than optimally efficient)furnace.I’ll replace your old furnace AND heatpump as a “package deal” for at least$3136.00 less than you would pay anyother time of the year.

Sound too good to be true?It’s not and here’s why. I’m making

you what sounds like an unbelievable offerbecause it actually makes good sense formy business. And you come out a winner,as well!

You see, I know from experience that inmy slowest months I actually end up losingmoney ... then I have to spend the rest of theyear trying to make up for it. Right now, Ihave no reason to believe 2013 will be anydifferent.

That’s why I’ve decided to give up tryingto make a profit during these months andminimize my losses ... so I can come outahead the rest of the year.So here’s how I can make the incredibleoffer at the top of this letter.

Every year the biggie furnacemanufacturers guesstimate how manyfurnaces to produce. Since there’s no way ofknowing what the weather will be like andother factors that affect sales, these guysalways have leftover inventory they have tohold onto until the next heating season.

I saw a great business opportunity in thisand went to one of these biggie companies(they won’t allow me to use their name inthis letter) and contracted for the purchaseof these furnaces that were going to just besitting around. Plus, I bought 23 heat pumpsall in the 3 most popular sizes used in LowerMainland homes.

Because of the number I bought andthe time of year I purchased them, I got anunbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices.

Don’t get me wrong - these arebrand-new, top quality, 2013 models. Not“seconds.” Not “blems.” Not builder-grade.These are premium furnaces and heat pumpsfresh from a name-brand factory with a fullfactory warranty.How to Get Your Name Brand Furnacefor Virtually Nothing

By putting together this furnace-plus-heat pump package (I call it the “HottestAND Coolest Deal of the Century”), goingthrough some heavy negotiations withthe manufacturer, and then committing to

buying 23 systems outright, I got BOTH thefurnace AND the heat pump at a price thatwould have made Sam Walton proud. Thismeans when you buy one of these 23 new,premium-quality heat pumps I will “give”you the furnace and ask you to pay onlythe $1181 in labor it costs to install yourfurnace.Pick up your phone right now

Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytimeso I can come out and measure your home(to see if I’ve got the proper size unit).Remember ... I’ve got only 23 matchedsystems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let meknow VERY SOON that you’re interested.When these 23 systems are gone, they’regone, and this offer is null and void. Call meright now so we can get the ball rolling!

As part of the deal, I’ll show you howmuch the heat pump costs ... how muchthe furnace WOULD have cost ... and yoursavings when you buy your new heat pumpand furnace as part of this special offer. Theprice I show you will include all installationmaterials and labor. There’s no fine print,nothing left out.Earlier I said that making you thisamazing offer is also good business for me

The way I look at it, by letting YOU winbig now, I’ll win at the end of the year. AndI won’t have to “make up” for the lost salesduring my slowest months.

I figure if I make you an absolutelyirresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing8 years or more ... and if I barely mark upthe price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 majorobjectives that will allow me to reduce mylosses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ...

• Pay my overhead (rent, utilities,insurance and taxes) during the slowperiod

• Keep my service & installationtechnicians busy enough to pay them towork instead of sit at home.As you can see, when you take me up

on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of theCentury,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER!And by the way, there’s no obligationwhen you have me come out to measureyour house and explain the installation

If you decide you don’t want to takeadvantage of this incredible deal (althoughI can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want tosave this kind of money), it’s no problem.You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, justfor taking time to read this letter and havingme out to survey your house ... I’ll giveyou a Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50

value). Why? Even if we don’t do businesstogether now, I want you to remember us inthe future.If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heatpump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry!You don’t have to pay me right now

Because I’ve tried to think of everyreason possible why you WOULDN’Ttake me up on this spectacular offer, I’veeven made arrangements for a super bankrate financing plan. And I’m not “markingup” the interest rate like so many othercompanies do.

While I can’t promise you this, it’spossible that with this financing plan yourmonthly investments in a new system couldbe more than paid for by the savings you seeon your monthly utility bills.My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee

Talking about lower utility bills, I’m sosure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in yourheating and cooling bills (in reality, it maybe more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay youtwice the difference for 2 years.

Not only are you getting a new,first-quality furnace virtually free, plus afirst-quality heat pump at a great price, Iguarantee you’ll lower your heating andcooling bills by at least 25% or I’ll pay youdouble your savings for 2 years. (This aloneshould convince you that these systemsare some of the very best quality and mostefficient available).But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at 946-1000 right now! This offer ends April 30thno matter what

Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I haveonly 8 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of theair conditioners are sold and all the furnaces“given away” in a certain size, the “HottestAND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over.

And if I still have any of the 23 systemsleft on April 30th, this offer still ends. Thereason is that my business only slows downfor a short time. Since these furnaces costme so little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell themnext winter at last year’s prices and stillcome out ahead.So call me right now at 946-1000

Thanking you in advance,Scott Campbell

OwnerP.S. Remember, there’s no obligation

and - even if you change your mind onceI measure your house and give you theestimate - you still get that Free Gift Couponworth $50.

*W.A.C. - with approved credit. Cannot be combined with other offers.

“Last year I put seeds ofRussian red kale in the shadybackyard. It grew well but wasfull of aphids and I ended upthrowing it all out in disgust.What can I do to prevent itfrom happening again? Isthere any nutriment I shouldadd to the soil?”

Heidi Namanvia e-mail

Aphids are a huge problemin some gardens and theonly organic solution is rowcovers. These should be puton shortly after the plantsgerminate and stay on tillharvesting. Air, water andsunlight do get through therow covers, but insects don’t.

Make sure the row coversare fastened to the ground sono insects can crawl underany little openings at thesoil level. Row covers aren’tespecially inexpensive, butthe material can be usedrepeatedly if you’re carefuland most rolls contain a lotof material.

For really healthy, lushkale a high-nitrogen organicfertilizer will produce healthyleaves. This doesn’t needto be a hugely high nitro-gen number — the numbersequence always runs nitro-

gen-phosphorous-potash —and as long as the nitrogennumber given is higher thanthe other two, the growthof leaves will be especiallypromoted. But a balancedfertilizer (where numbers aremore or less equal) is also agood alternative.

“I have a largeGartenmeister fuchsia whichI winter over in the garage.Each year it blooms later andlater in the season. Last year itdidn’t bloom until September.I put it out after danger offrost has passed. Sometimes Iprune it in October, sometimesin April. None of that makes adifference in its blooming time.The leaves tell me it’s quitehealthy. How can I get it tobloom earlier? Or should I getrid of it and get a new one?”

Carmen WilsonChilliwack

I wonder if your fuchsiais a victim of our changingweather. For at the least thelast two years, our springshave been extremely coldand wet. Each time, this wasfollowed by summers thatwere longer, hotter and drierthan average.

The chilly downpours inspring would have stoppedfuchsias from developing asearly as usual. My fuchsiaswere also late coming intobloom both years. Then thesummer was long, hot anddry. When temperaturesclimb over 80 F (27 C), bud-ding and flowering are heldback and fuchsias begin toneed much more water. Ifthey don’t get extra rations,flowering can be inhibitedfor that reason too. Thoughfuchsias are frost-tender,they’re not really hot-cli-mate plants. They do best inmoderate conditions: gentlewarmth and a sun-shadeblend. Gartenmeister is agood heirloom type fuchsiawith a great reputation forreliability. It’s well worthkeeping.

PoCo tohost CitywideGarage Sale on SaturdayTreasure-hunters will have

71 garage sales to choosefrom this Saturday (April 20)during PoCo’s annual City-wide Garage Sale.

The fifth-annual event,held during Earth Week eachyear, encourages the recyc-ling and re-use of unwantedbut still usable householditems to keep them out of thelandfill.

“This event is a win onmany fronts — it reduceswhat we send to the dumpand what we have to buynew, and it helps our resi-dents save and make a bit ofmoney,” Mayor Greg Mooresaid in a press release. “It’salso a great way to get toknow your neighbours.”

Reducing waste is one ofthe city’s green goals, whichinclude reducing greenhousegases, protecting ecosystems,managing water use andquality, creating livable com-munities and supporting localfood and agriculture.

The annual Kids Only Swap& Shop — set for SundayApril 21, from 9 a.m. to 1p.m. at the Port CoquitlamRecreation Complex — isanother city initiative thatpromotes the re-use of chil-dren’s clothing, toys andother items that aren’t readyfor the trash heap. Admissionis free for this event, whichincludes a car trunk sale inthe parking lot and dozens ofvendors on the arena floor.

The City-wide Garage Saleofficially runs from 9 a.m. to1 p.m., but garage sale hostsmay choose to extend theirhours. After the sale, all par-ticipants will be responsiblefor packing up any unsolditems, similar to any regulargarage sale. The city will notbe picking up unsold items,

and instead is encouragingparticipants to donate left-over items to charity.

Tips for garage sale shop-pers:

• If you’re an early bird,

respect the host’s decision tobegin the sale at the postedtime.

• Bring small bills andchange for small purchases.

• Drive carefully on neigh-

There are certain things one likes to check offthe list during a season opener.

Things like getting a win, shaking the butter-flies, showing consistency and some endurance.

Coquitlam Reds’ righthander Curtis Taylor didthose and more Saturday in Kelowna, when helaunched a new B.C. Premier Baseball Leagueseason with a 2-0 no-hitter over the OkanaganAthletics.

“It was real cool and obviously the best game Ithink I’ve ever pitched,” said Taylor on Tuesday. “Ihad all my pitches going where I wanted them, mylocation was good and we strategized before thegame about getting ahead of the counts early so Iwas getting that first strike.”

The final out resulted in a mobbing on themound — and an achievement few pitchers canclaim.

The weekend also included losses of 4-2 and6-2 to the Athletics, but Coquitlam earned a 13-12victory in the second test on Sunday to bookend asolid season-opening series.

Facing last year’s BCPBL playoff champs, Taylorentered the opener fairly calm and ready to throwstrikes. The main aim was to get ahead of the hit-ters and work both sides of the plate, he said.

“I don’t usually like to throw into the hitters a lotbut I was getting it [inside] with my fastball evenon the leftsided hitters,” said the 17-year-old.

Providing a huge early boost was the two-runlead he was staked out to even before stepping onthe mound — Aydan Smith led off the top of thefirst with a single, and Max Hollingworth followedwith a one-out, two-run blast that cleared thecentrefield fence.

“It was a real big confidence boost,” said Taylor.“When you get an early lead like that it kind ofsettles everything down.”

The pitcher also noted that on the couple ofoccasions where an Athletics hitter got good woodon the ball his defence was there.

Making it all the easier to do a Bob Fellerimpersonation — the only Major Leaguer to throwan opening day no-hitter, in 1940 — was the work put down bycatcher Hayden Jaco.

“He played as big a part in it as I did,” noted Taylor. “I really likedhow he mixed in the pitches and kept things steady.”

Although the Reds would go on to split the two-day, twin-doubleheader weekend, the dominating way his starter set thetable was enough to make manager Kyle Williams happy.

“Taylor was incredible, a great start and throwing strikes,” notedWilliams. “I don’t think he had any one pitch going [better], it wasmore the movement he gets on all his pitches.

“He got in such a groove — he had 30 pitches in two innings andjust 50 the rest of the way.”

In the second game, Mark Trimble tossed five solid innings ofseven-hit ball in the 4-2 loss. Coquitlam was handed a 6-2 setbackto start Sunday but bounced back to win a wild 13-12 thriller.

Hollingworth registered three extra-base hits — two doublesand his second home run — and plated four runs in the final game.Cam Williams collected the win with 2.2 innings of relief.

The 2-2 Reds now focus on their home opener on Thursday, 6:30p.m. when the Abbotsford Cardinals come to Mundy #4 diamond.

‘A’ CUP HOPES DASHEDAfter battling hard for their respective berths

into the Premier ‘A’ Provincial Cup final 16, boththe Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves and PortMoody Lordco Gunners saw their seasons cometo a halt in tough losses on the weekend.

The Wolves were stopped 2-0 by Bays United,while the Gunners were edged 1-0 in overtimeby Cowichan.

The overtime defeat came after a contro-versial call five minutes into the extra session,where Kevin Comeau appeared to give PortMoody the lead on a sliding kick.

The linesman ruled it offside and in the ensu-ing discussion, a Gunner was handed a red card,leaving the squad a man short.

About five minutes later, Cowichan cashed ina corner kick to end Port Moody’s season.
