Coquitlam Now January 12 2011

WEDNESDAYJanuary 12, 2011

Port Coquitlam MLA MikeFarnworth has called a press confer-ence for Thursday afternoon, whenit’s expected the NDP house leaderwill reveal his intentions to run forthe party’s leadership.

PoCo Couns. Glenn Pollock andBrad West serve as co-chairs ofthe Draft Mike Farnworth for BCNDP Leader Facebook campaign,and while neither would confirmFarnworth’s intentions in interviewsTuesday, both spoke at length aboutthe four-term MLA’s leadership qual-ities.

“The public in British Columbia isready for a change,” West said. “After10 years of Liberal government,people are ready to see honesty andintegrity restored to government,they’re ready to have a governmentthat puts their family and their needsfirst and we firmly believe that MikeFarnworth is the person to do that.”

West and Pollock began prop-ping up Farnworth via the Facebookcampaign shortly after Carole Jamesstepped down as NDP leader in earlyDecember. Since that time, the pairsay they’ve been inundated with sup-port from across the province.

“For most people, I’m getting thestrong feeling that they’re for Mikefor the same reasons as me: they

know him, they know he’s a down-to-earth guy, he’s a PoCo guy andhe’s got common sense,” Pollocksaid. If Farnworth declares his inten-tions to run Thursday, he will be thefifth person as of press time to doso, joining Fraser-Nicola MLA HarryLali, Powell River-Sunshine CoastMLA Nicholas Simons, Juan de FucaMLA John Horgan and marijuanaactivist Dana Larsen.

West said Farnworth has theability to unite the party, as wellas experience, a common-senseapproach and an “electability factor.”

“Having been a four-term MLA,having been a cabinet minister,having served as house leader andhaving been a city councillor before

that, there is no doubt that Mike isready,” West said. “He can step inand lead from Day 1, and I thinkthat’s important, particularly withthe possibility of a snap election.”

Farnworth was not available forcomment, but his press conference isscheduled for noon Thursday at theGathering Place in PoCo.

On the other side of the politicalfence, former Port Moody-WestwoodMLA and Liberal leadership hopefulChristy Clark announced Tuesdayshe would institute a statutory holi-day in February if elected premier.

Proposed for the third week ofFebruary, Family Day is currentlycelebrated in Ontario, Alberta andSaskatchewan.

“He was, without exaggera-tion, one of the most popularteachers at the school,” fel-low Fox teacher and footballcoach Martin McDonnell saidMonday. “He was a great per-son, someone who studentsand teachers all liked a lot.”

Anew partnership betweenMetro Vancouver andthe B.C. Pharmacy

Association aims to protect thehealth of both residents and theenvironment.

Announced earlier thismonth, the campaign is meantto encourage people fromthroughout the region to bringtheir unused medications backto local pharmacies for safedisposal.

The free program sees phar-macies collecting the medica-tions before they are turnedover to the Post ConsumerPharmaceutical StewardshipAssociation (PCPSA), an organ-ization that, in turn, disposes ofthe meds by high-heat incinera-tion.

“It’s a great new year’s reso-lution to think about some-thing that we can do that reallyisn’t that hard to do to protectthe environment and our per-sonal health and safety,” saidMarnie Mitchell, CEO of theB.C. Pharmacy Association.

The program has been rolledout at more than 20 pharmaciesacross the region, and five PortCoquitlam outlets are taking part.

“In the last few years, pharmacists are reallyfocusing in on this and creating more awareness,”said Parm Johal, owner of PoCo’s Wilson Pharmacy.“As we become more and more aware of some of thestrains on the environment, I think more and morepeople are asking those types of questions as to whatthey should be doing with these materials.”

Johal noted that most medications are no longereffective after their expiration date, while others —

tetracycline and acetaminophen, for example — canbecome harmful after their best-before dates.

“We don’t recommend that you flush them downthe toilet either because we don’t know the long-term effects of it, but obviously we do know that it isharming the environment in some ways,” he said.

Mitchell said while the partnership between B.C.pharmacies and Metro Vancouver is new, the pro-gram itself is not. The PCPSA began the initiative inthe mid-1990s, after city staff in various municipal-ities began noticing “appreciable amounts” of medi-

cations ending up in landfills.“There is no ‘away’ when you throw medications

away in your garbage or flush them down the toi-let,” added PoCo Mayor Greg Moore, chair of MetroVancouver’s waste management committee, in apress release. “Our hope is that, by working withthe region’s pharmacists, we will make it easier forpeople to safely dispose of these potentially harmfulmedications.”

Five cities, four police forces, twooff-duty cops and one stolen Jeep.

It was a busy day for a 28-year-oldNew Westminster man who was arrest-ed in Port Coquitlam Friday followinga pursuit that covered a good chunk ofMetro Vancouver.

Just after noon on Jan. 7, an off-duty Vancouver police officer reporteda 1992 Jeep Cherokee being drivenerratically. VPD officers found thevehicle, realized it was stolen andbegan a short pursuit. They lost theJeep in Burnaby and called off thechase — only for an off-duty BurnabyMountie to report the same Jeep beingdriven dangerously.

The off-duty officer kept the vehiclein sight as it travelled throughBurnaby and into Port Moody. Anunmarked Port Moody police car tookup the trail and followed the Jeep into

Coquitlam — where it had allegedlybeen stolen earlier that day.

Marked Coquitlam RCMP cars triedto stop the Jeep, but the driver eludedofficers and made his way to LougheedHighway at Pitt River Road in PortCoquitlam before the Jeep broke down.

The driver escaped onfoot but was quickly cap-tured — bringing the pur-suit to an end just before2 p.m.

Troy Whitelaw, 28,from New Westminster,was arrested and remainsin custody. Police are recommend-ing charges of possession of stolenproperty, possession of stolen propertyover $5,000, dangerous operation ofa motor vehicle, flight from peaceofficer, care or control of vehicle whileimpaired, care or control of vehicle

over .08 and two counts of wilfullyresisting or obstructing a peace offi-cer. Whitelaw is scheduled to appearin Port Coquitlam provincial courttomorrow (Thursday).

•••Both a highrise and a single-family

home were targeted dur-ing a rash of break-insMonday in Port Moody.

Just before 8 a.m., thecomplex manager forSuter Brook contactedpolice about a theft ofsurveillance equipment

from the complex. When officersarrived, they found the equipment hadbeen damaged and stolen, likely overthe weekend. Damage is estimated at$150, while the stolen equipment is inthe range of $1,200.

The department’s identification

section attended to gather forensicevidence, and investigators are review-ing surveillance tapes for possiblesuspects.

That afternoon, police were calledto a home on Seaview Drive aboutanother break-in. The owners toldpolice they had been gone between6 a.m. and 4 p.m., and arrived hometo find the house’s rear sliding doorpried open. The suspect or suspectsrummaged through the workshop,bedrooms, living, laundry and recrea-tion rooms. All told, thieves made offwith jewelry, tools, a sound systemand jacket.

Port Moody police are asking forthe public’s help with both of thesebreak-ins. Anyone with information isasked to call the department at 604-461-3456 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Bay Packers’ playoff gameagainst Philadelphia. When hefailed to show up to watch hisfavourite team, people becamea little concerned.

“We were together all dayand we socialized afterwardsand planned to watch theGreen Bay game. That was histeam,” McDonnell noted.

Port Coquitlam MayorGreg Moore remarked duringMonday’s council meetinghow Lapa had touched manypeople during his years as ateacher and a friend.

“He was definitely some-one who dedicated his lifeto teaching,” Moore said,explaining how Fox studentshad grown accustomed to see-ing Lapa as a parent figure.

“I’m still in shock,” saidPinetree Secondary teacherBernie Crump. “I’ve knowCarey from his UBC days ashe came there after me …Our paths constantly crossed.Coaching in the district, hewas just a fun guy to be with.”

Terry Fox principal HeatherMurphy said a memorial ser-vice is planned for Feb. 5 atthe school, following a familyservice in Kamloops.

“His life was kids, footballand teaching,” Murphy said.“We really want to have ourservice for his mother and

sister to attend because theyprobably think he was justa teacher. But he was reallyloved here.”

Lapa was defensive linecoach for the Fox seniors thepast handful of years, help-ing guide the team to twoAAA B.C. high school footballchampionships, in 2006 and

2008, and back-to-back juniortitles in 2006-07. Last year,when the junior Ravens need-ed a head coach, Lapa tookover those duties.

A phys-ed teacher, Lapa hadbeen at Terry Fox for 16 years,after a handful of years teach-ing at Centennial.

When he was coaching sen-ior football at Centennial, helived to beat Terry Fox. Afterhe shifted across the districtto PoCo, he was focused onbeating Centennial.

Football was a huge part ofhis life, his friends said.

“He was the kind of guy youwanted to hang with, but hewas always about the kids,”Crump noted. “I rememberhis famous Lapa speeches.When it came time for himto talk, the kids’ eyes wouldroll and he’d get right into it.They knew what was coming,but when he finished they’djust charge out of there.”

A Kamloops native, Lapamade his mark on the sportsfield, including as a memberof the 1982 University of B.C.Thunderbirds football teamthat rolled undefeated to aVanier Cup championship.The squad, billed by many asthe greatest team in CanadianInteruniversity Sport history,was inducted into the UBCSports Hall of Fame in 2003.

Lapa was not shy abouttaking on administrative dut-ies for his sport. He servedas past-president of theB.C. High School FootballAssociation, and was activewith local union duties.

“He cared so much aboutthe sport and the kids,”Crump said. “His kids reallyrevolved around Lapa.”

Lapa was predeceased byhis father Andrew and brotherKevin. He is survived byhis mother Erna and sisterBonnie.

One per cent of all taxdollars in the City of PortCoquitlam will be put awayfor the future.

So says Mayor Greg Moore,who gave a breakdown of theyear gone by and a look atwhat’s to come in 2011 dur-ing his mayor’s year in reviewreport, delivered at Monday’scouncil meeting.

Moore said Port Coquitlamhas to keep a keen eye on thestate of city infrastructure asaging roads and sewers reachthe end of their life spans.

“The infrastructure gap,it’s a problem,” Moore said,adding that infrastructure“is expected to reach the endin about 20 years, and that’sgoing to come with a big pricetag. Our city was built andpaid for by our parents, andwe have to save to replacewhat we have, or we will beleaving the bill for our chil-dren.”

To address the needs oftomorrow, Moore said one

per cent of all tax and utilityrevenue will be set aside forroads and sewers coming due

for repair or replacement.As for his 2011 outlook,

Moore said upgrades to HydeCreek Recreation Centre willbe completed, in addition toBroadway Street reconstruc-tion.

He added it is also time toupdate the city’s master trans-portation plan, as PoCo makesheadway this year on import-ant projects like improvingCoast Meridian Road, thePitt River Road corridor andthe first phase of KingswayAvenue’s multi-use path. Abike lane strategy is also inthe works for 2011.

A key component of the lasttransportation plan draftedwas the Coast MeridianOverpass project, whichMoore noted as a top high-light from last year.

“You could almost heara sigh of relief in the com-munity when that opened,”he said, describing it as thelargest transportation projectin the city’s history and onethat is proving to be a criticallink for PoCo residents andthe region alike.

Other initiatives scheduled

for 2011 include growth inthe Dominion Triangle andFremont Village; a littercleanup program allowingcitizens to adopt parks, streetsand trails; implementation ofan environmental strategicplan; moving food scraps col-lection in the multi-familyand business realm from pilotproject to full-time program;and completing the Pitt Riverintertidal wetland.

A civic election is alsoscheduled for November,Moore said, adding that PoCowill again work with otherTri-Cities municipalities toincrease voter turnout. Aninformation workshop for pro-spective candidates is planned.

The candidates for the leadership of the B.C.Liberal party have offered a smorgasbord ofpolicies, although none of them qualifies as a

new “big” idea.But one of the promises put forth by one of the

candidates has the potential of causing serious prob-lems if it’s ever repeated.

I’m referring to George Abbott’s promise to usethe upcoming HST referendum to also determinethe fate of the carbon tax. Setting tax policy via areferendum is a bad, bad idea.

If you don’t believe me, check outwhat’s going on in places like Californiaor Arizona. They are just two of manystates that have used referendums togreatly hamper (or even eliminate) theabilities of state governments to raisetaxes to meet rising demands for servi-ces.

As a result, states are finding them-selves slashing services in such areas asK-12 education, post-secondary educa-tion, municipal services and public sec-tor wages.

States are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy,and many have simply refused to pay creditors (i.e.individuals and companies contracted to do work onbehalf of government).

The financial mess south of the border has muchto do with the recent recession, of course, but itsroots extend back to the notorious Proposition 13passed by California voters in the 1970s.

That referendum enshrined in state law a require-ment that any new tax had to have the support oftwo-thirds of the electorate in a referendum. In

other words, it made it impossible for a state govern-ment to raise taxes because the bar was set too high.

Other states have since passed similar laws andthe result is the financial meltdown we are seeingtoday. The people most hurt by this tax revolt are,naturally, the most vulnerable: the poor, the disabledand the young.

Tax revolts are tinged with populism, of course,but they are the philosophical offspring of right-wing conservativism. Tax measures should be set bya government duly elected by the people.

Of course, Abbott is not proposinganything like Proposition 13. But B.C.voters will now have two kicks at theanti-tax can, and that may set a preced-ent that may prove seductive to futurepoliticians and governments.

As demands for health care, educa-tion, higher wages and infrastructurecontinue to climb, more and morerevenues have to be found — eitherthrough taxes, user-pay models orspending cuts elsewhere.

Many people simply can’t connect thedots when it comes to taxes and services. They sim-plistically think that cutting things like the salariesof politicians will provide the money to take care ofthe rising demands of society.

So it’s easy for them to simply and enthusiastic-ally vote “No” in a referendum to any proposal toraise taxes, even while they demand more and morethings from government.

One of Abbott’s leadership rivals, Christy Clark,has rightly called him on this idea. To his credit,Abbott appears to have the most extensive and

thoughtful platform of any of the candidates.But if he ultimately wins the leadership, I hope he

confines the tax-by-referendum idea to a one-time-only occurrence.

•••A lot of observers were quick to write off NDP

MLA Harry Lali as a serious leadership candidate,but I think he has the potential to have a significantimpact on the race and on the party’s future as well.

While I don’t think he stands a good chance ofactually winning the contest, Lali has signalled he’sprepared to play rough and engage in some serioushand-to-hand combat with people.

As a veteran MLA and former cabinet minister,Lali cannot simply be ignored by the party’s hier-archy. In fact, Lali says he wants to take down whathe considers to be the “establishment” of the party.

Presumably, he’s referring to people like partypresident Moe Sihota, provincial secretary JanO’Brien, B.C. Federation of Labour president JimSinclair and those in the NDP caucus who have beencalling the shots for years.

Again, I don’t think he’s going to necessarily besuccessful in his quest, but if he pushes the themehard enough things could get very, very ugly indeedwithin the NDP. Rather than a so-called healing pro-cess, the leadership race may end up being an all-outwar pitting faction against faction.

And perhaps that’s just what the party needs. A lotof former allies in the party are now bitter enemies,and until they deal with their internal demons, theystand little chance of forming government.

Setting tax policy via referendum is a bad idea

Re: “Move upsets business owner,” Friday,Jan. 7.

After reading of Steve Tetu’s problems with theeviction by the provincial government, it seems tome the Evergreen Line is more troublesome than Ipreviously thought.

Besides lacking some $400 millionplus in funding and having insufficientridership estimates, officials are notbeing fair to property owners being evict-ed or enduring negative effects to comefrom the Evergreen Line.

With these problems and the instances of con-struction being delayed, it makes one expect prob-lems to worsen during construction and into itsinitial operation.

As far as I know, the promise of rapid transit intothe Coquitlam area was made by the Socred govern-ment in its final years.

It was a faulty promise made by a faulty govern-ment under a faulty party.

The party and that government havelong disappeared, and so should itsfaulty promise of train transit.

However, some officials in municipaland provincial governments have notrealized this.

Instead of processing evictions, offi-cials should be seeking cheaper alternatives to theEvergreen Line.

Vincent LizeeCoquitlam

Canada’s new environment minister hasa peculiar take on his job. Rather thansafeguarding the natural world, he sees

it as his role to make its destruction more pal-atable.

Peter Kent went on national televisionThursday to assure Canadians that everythingis fine.

He acknowledged that climate change is areality, but told his audience we’re right ontrack to solve it.

We’re going to revise regulations for long-haul trucking, for instance. Oh, and ournation’s gas-belching oil sands are really not aproblem.

Such words from an environment ministerare astonishing. Thirteen years ago, Canadaand other nations signed a protocol to reducegreenhouse gas emissions to six per centbelow 1990 levels. That was considered a mod-est and necessary first step on a path to avert-ing disaster.

Since then, our emissions have climbed to 24per cent above 1990 levels. With skyrocketingenergy consumption and unwavering relianceon fossil fuels, we are showing no signs ofturning that trend around.

What Canada needs is a clear, comprehen-sive plan for systemic transformation. ButKent’s comments show he has absolutely nointention of delivering one. Instead, he isfocusing his energy on convincing the publicand the international community that there’sreally nothing wrong. This, in and of itself, isterrifying.

In any area of private industry, someonewho so completely neglects the requirementsof their job would be fired.

Come election time, the Canadian publicshould bear this in mind.

Garbage pickup inadequateAs you are probably aware, Port Coquitlam

now collects garbage every two weeks insteadof every week. My household has two adults,one child and one small dog. We recycle, com-post, separate food scraps into the green bin— you name it.

This past summerwas a challenge, whatwith the leftoverpotato salad andthe last few grilledprawns fighting itout in the 35 degreeheat. (And, no, Greg Moore, I am not going tofreeze my garbage in between pickups.)

However, this letter has been prompted bywhat just occurred over Christmas. The goofysystem that PoCo employs bumps your Mondaypickup to Tuesday if there is a stat holiday andthen from Tuesday to Wednesday, etc. if thereis another stat holiday.

What this meant for us in “Blue Zone 4” wasa gap of 19 days between garbage pickups. AtChristmas. That time of year where no matterhow much you eat, how much you foist onyour friends and neighbours and how diligentyou are about composting, you are still leftwith literally heaps of garbage. Solution: takeone of your vacation days and head to theWastech facility and pay to rid yourself of it.

We pay sufficient taxes to have our garbagecollected more frequently than every 19 days.

I’d appreciate some feedback on this fromresidents and City Hall.

Tracy O’ToolePort Coquitlam

Quota system is wrongEx-news anchor Pamela Martin has thrown

her support behind Christy Clark. The genius

and inspiration behind this endorsement?Martin states it is time for B.C. to have afemale premier. Never mind the person whoruns the province should be the best qualified,just that it be a woman.

Martin says this is her first foray into theworld of public opinion. Given the lack of fore-thought in her statement, maybe she shouldhave waited a few more years. It goes withoutsaying that gender bias is ugly in so manyways. So why are seemingly innocuous state-ments like this tolerated?

To suggest that Carole James, Sarah Palin,Hillary Clinton and other very public femalepoliticians got to where they did just becausethey were women is absurd. It demeans themand diminishes their accomplishments.

Harry Lali, who has thrown his hat into the

NDP leadership race, has gone on record stat-ing that he may eliminate the quota systemconcerning women in the party ranks. Thebacklash within his party and in the media wasimmediate and harsh.

This probably explains why the NDP hassuch a difficult time winning elections. Beingthe government of the province means you arerunning the largest and most complex busi-ness in B.C. You are responsible for millionsof people and billions of dollars. You want thebest and brightest, no matter what their gen-der, ethnicity or sexual orientation.

Whenever you tilt the table to favour onecross-section of society, you are disenfranchis-ing another cross-section. In my opinion,PC is no longer a tool to correct egregiousand intolerant actions and behaviours, but

a weapon to fulfill agendas. One of the mostextreme examples of this was the case of theprincipal of a New Brunswick school whobanned the national anthem because someonefound it objectionable.

I think we have forgotten the definitionand principles of democracy that were definedby the ancient Greeks: Every citizen is equalbefore the law and has equal access to power. Isometimes think the NDP have forgotten thatthe word “democracy” is part of their politicaltitle. Or maybe the word “new” has allowedthem to put their own slant on the definitionof democracy.

Neil SwansonCoquitlam

‘Facts amid the hyperbole’The shootings in Arizona have generated

more heat than light. If you listen closely, youcan hear axes grinding away across the coun-try. Here are a few facts amid the hyperbole.Random stranger killings are relatively rare.In the U.S., 14 per cent of all homicides arecommitted by a stranger. In Canada, it’s 18 percent, and in the U.K., it’s 22 per cent.

This boils down to about 80 people outof 600 murders in Canada, and 2,300 out of17,000 murders in the U.S. Europe has morestringent rules for obtaining guns than theU.S., but they have even more such incidents.

If there is someone to blame, it is the NDPgovernment that shut down mental hospitalsin B.C. and dumped many severely ill patientson the street. This was completely irrespon-sible. The mentally ill constitute a majority ofthe homeless in Greater Vancouver.

For Port Coquitlam, the bus stops here— providing Jimmy Pattison agrees.

City council ratified an agreement withPattison Outdoor Advertising Monday foranother five years of bus shelter maintenanceand advertising, in a give-and-take that will seemore transit riders covered from the elements,but not necessarily at the busiest stops.

The city previously contracted Jim PattisonIndustries (now Pattison Outdoor) to installand maintain bus shelters from 1999 to 2009,and Port Coquitlam staff were instructed torenew the agreement for another five years.After a business review in 2009, PattisonOutdoor put forward a five-year agreementwith an option to renew for five years at coun-cil’s discretion.

As part of the agreement, Pattison Outdoorpays the city 25 per cent of advertising rev-enue, with a guaranteed $130 per month pershelter. Between 21 shelters, the city hasreceived more than $30,000 per year in rev-enue, which approached a three-year averagebetween 2006 and 2009 of $36,322.

Pattison retains the exclusive right to placethird-party advertising on any shelter at busstops in Port Coquitlam.

“This is a win-win. We get bus sheltersin the city and revenue for it,” Coun. GlennPollock said, suggesting with a laugh that histransit stop doesn’t yet have a shelter.

Existing bus shelters will be repainted in thecity, and two new shelters will be built by Sept.1. Under the agreement, both the city andPattison must approve shelter locations.

“Pattison Outdoor typically requires bus

shelters to be located on higher volume arteri-als. The advertising potential of a bus shelteris directly related to the number of daily ‘view-ings’ of the advertising panels,” Igor Zahynacz,PoCo’s engineering director, wrote in a reportto council, adding that the city has seen sig-nificant increases in traffic volumes on CoastMeridian Road since the overpass opened.

“It’s based more on eyeballs going past thebus stop than those waiting at the bus stop,”Mayor Greg Moore said.

But Coun. Mike Forrest wondered whetheradvertising exposure is the best criterion tochoose bus shelter locations with, as it doesn’tnecessarily serve riders.

“It seems to me we’re out of sync,” he said.“We want people to use buses, but we don’twant to pay to build shelters unless there’sadvertising.”

Moore said the city spent its own funds onupgrading 15 bus stops to make them moreaccessible in 2010. That included improve-ments like clearing the area or paving a pad forpedestrians to stand on, which could lead toshelters in the future. Fifteen more stops willsee upgrades in 2011.

Coun. Sherry Carroll, who also uses transit,said she was surprised to learn a bare-bonesshelter could cost as little as $10,000. Shesuggested the city look into adding to the busshelter inventory, in addition to the PattisonOutdoor structures to come.

“It’s yet another step in council’s attemptto make it more accessible to use transit,” shesaid.

Moore said the city could always put in morebus shelters, but there would be a budget con-sequence.

Council unanimously approved the Pattisonagreement.

Long-standing issues with overcrowding atPort Coquitlam’s North Fraser Pretrial Centreled to a 30-minute-long hostage-taking scen-ario last Friday night.

B.C. Government and Service Employees’Union spokesperson Dean Purdy said the inci-dent occurred in an area of the facility intend-ed for solitary confinement,though issues around capacityforced the two inmates to behoused in the same cell.

“There were two inmatesin a cell and one inmate puta homemade weapon to theother inmate’s throat and heldit there, and held him hostagefor up to a half hour,” Purdysaid. “It was because of thegood work of one our correc-tions officers at the time … who was able touse his wits and defuse the situation and it allworked out in the end, this time.”

Purdy said the victim of the hostage takingwas not seriously injured and suffered some“superficial wounds.”

Coquitlam RCMP Const. Kristina Biro saidshe could not comment on the matter, as theincident is still under investigation.

According to Purdy, however, Friday’s inci-dent is symptomatic of long-standing issues atthe pretrial centre, which has grappled withovercrowding for the past four or five years.

“Studies have shown when inmates aredouble bunked, living two to a cell that’sdesigned for one, it’s known to fuel tensionand to add to the violence in our corrections

centres.”Purdy noted the centre was designed to hold

300 inmates when it was built in 1999.“It’s been as high as 705 [inmates] since that

time and averages anywhere between 600 and650 inmates on any given day.”

He added that the staff-to-inmate ratio isalso askew, as one staff member is assignedfor every 60 inmates. The optimal ratio,Purdy said, would see one staffer for every 30inmates.

“We will step up to theplate, and we have been doingthat while dealing with theovercrowding situation — it’ssomething we do, that’s ourjob,” he said. “But it is reallyplaying havoc on our moraleright now.”

A spokesperson from theMinistry of Public Safety andSolicitor General said Tuesdaythat the inmate responsible

for the attack has been “individually confined,”and that an investigation in being conductedby both the RCMP and BC Corrections.

As for the issue of overcrowding, the repre-sentative conceded it is a province-wide issue.

“There’s no doubt we have ongoing capacitypressures at all of our correctional centres,and we look forward to relieving some of thesepressures through the addition of new jailspace approved as part of our capital plan,” thespokesperson, who requested anonymity, wrotein an e-mail.

That $185-million capital plan includes 20additional cells in Prince George, 104 new cellsat the Alouette Correctional Centre for Womenin Maple Ridge and a 180-cell expansion of theSurrey Pretrial Services Centre.

Fitness

The holidays are behind you, it’s a freshstart to a new year and you’ve made asone of your resolutions/goals to finally

get into the best physical shape of your life (orat least the last five years), right?

So how’s it going so far? Have you writtendown the results you want to achieve and puta time frame to them? Have you identified theobstacles in your path and comeup with multiple solutions to over-come them? Do you have exerciseand nutrition plans written downand have you been following themso far? Are you like most peopleand already are on the verge of giv-ing up in frustration?

If your answer is yes to thelast question, my bet is that youanswered no to the previous ones.For any desired results you wantto achieve, it’s imperative that youfirst have a clear vision of what youwant, then write it down. Next, identify theproblems you might encounter and come upwith a number of ways to resolve them. Then,create a written exercise/lifestyle plan and anutrition plan (but not a punitive, restrictivediet). Make sure these plans are attainable. Youdon’t want to feel like a failure by falling shortof your objectives.

Each and every day, you must take somesmall step towards your ultimate goals. Ifyou’re making a lot of progress, that’s great,but don’t get complacent and think you nowhave room to ease up on your exercise or eat-ing habits. Every day starts with a fresh slate.You don’t get to carry forward credit for pastaccomplishments, nor should you continue tofeel guilty for past slipups. You should learn

lessons from the past on how to continue todo the right things and avoid the mistakes,though. Just make sure your mind staysfocused on the present.

If you want more details on succeeding withyour new year’s fitness resolutions, you cancheck out my previous articles on my web-site at www.fitbodies.ca. Right now, I want to

talk about the decision you havebefore you: will you take the stepsnecessary to achieve the resultsyou desire or will you continue tolive your life dissatisfied with yourbody, health and, by extension,your life. Yes, this sounds harsh,but for many people, this is thetruth. They complain about theirdecreased energy and increasedbelly and thighs, yet the only effortthey put out is in making excuses.

Whether you’re 20 or 80, it’snever too soon or too late to decide

to live the rest of your life to its fullest poten-tial. Draw a straight line on a piece of paperwith a zero on the left and an x on the right.This line represents your life with your starton the left and your eventual end on the right.Every day that goes by brings you closer to thex. If you write down all the goals and accom-plishments you still hope to achieve in yourlife, do you have enough room on the rightside of where you presently are on the line?

Yours in health,Chris

Travel

Wales, unlike it’s rather staid neighbour,England, is a land of whimsy.

It is early spring in Llangollen,North Wales, and hedgerows like dark eye-brows run along the edges of fields wheremother sheep fuss over their newly arrivedlambs. Our mini-bus drops our group off atPlas Newydd, a Tudor-style house with a façaderesembling rows of black and white dominoes.

This was once the home of Lady EleanorButler and the Hon. Sarah Ponsonby — bothborn to minor nobility in Ireland — who, inorder to avoid being forced into marriage,eloped to Wales and set up house here in 1780.Today this would hardly raise an eyebrow, butback then what would the strait-laced societyof the late 18th century have made of theLadies of Llangollen, as they came to be called?

Lady Eleanor was a prolific correspond-ent and diarist, and Plas Newydd became thehaunt of literati such as Byron, Shelley andWordsworth, whose “Sonnet Composed atPlas Newydd” was penned in their garden.There were other notables among their vis-itors, including European royalty, the Duke ofWellington and Josiah Wedgwood. To supple-ment their slender income (their outragedfamilies had refused to extend any financialhelp), at the queen’s request, King George IIIgranted them a pension.

Plas Newydd has an intricate wood-carvedentrance and bas-relief panels decorate thewalls along the interior stairway. Overall, therooms are small and rather dark, but in myimagination I see Miss Sarah as she tidies upthe coverlet of their double bed, while LadyEleanor writes in her journal by the window,exchanging perhaps a fond look and a smile

with her dear companion.Their relationship spanned more than 50

years until they passed away, Eleanor in 1829,Sarah two years later. The ladies rest side-by-side in St. Collen’s Churchyard in Llangollen,and Plas Newydd is now a museum run by theDenbighshire County Council.

In contrast to this tranquil country estate isa wacky but undeniably popular resort (a rare-bit of Welsh drollery?) in Snowdonia on thenorthwest coast of Wales. Portmeirion is thebrain child of a self-styled architect, Sir Clough

Williams-Ellis, who, undaunted by his failureto complete a degree in architecture, went onto create a fantastical world of buildings, stat-ues and gardens. Dubbed “zany” and “campy”by visitors, one wonders whether Sir Cloughwas either a dotty eccentric or had a prankishsense of humour. Or perhaps both.

Robin Llywelyn, Clough’s grandson andmanaging director of Portmeirion, leads ourgroup through a cobalt-blue painted archwayand talks with great solemnity about the hist-ory of Portmeirion, but most of us aren’t lis-

tening. We are peering at our surroundings: aDali-esque world of buildings in the wildest ofhues — turquoise, burnt umbre, purple, pink,mauve, terra cotta, ink blue and bright yellow.The structures run the gamut of architecturalstyles from Jacobean to art deco. An Italianpiazza lies below us and, on a hill to one side,a stone bell tower that looks as though it wasonce featured in the movie Vertigo.

For the next half hour, we walk through thevillage, bemused. Portmeirion is the nearestthing I can imagine to a funky collection ofDeMille-style Hollywood sets.

Discovering Welsh rare bits doesn’t justapply to places. It’s about their unique signage,too. In the village of Llangollen, I stop shortbefore a sign that looks like a spill of Scrabbletiles: “Ysiopfachgardiauwrthybontdrosyrafonddyfrdwyynllangollen.” It means “The little shopthat sells cards by the bridge that crosses theriver Dee in Llangollen.”

Without one of their key starters, theTerry Fox Ravens was the better team forthree of the four quarters.

Unfortunately, the other quarterbelonged to the Burnaby South Rebels.

The Ravens put up a valiant effort onSaturday before falling 69-60 to the then-No. 1-ranked Rebels in the bronze medalgame of the Fox Legal Beagle Invitationalboys basketball tournament in PoCo.

As the dust settled from the tourney,the provincial poll would get a heavy dutyshakeup.

Fox’s loss to the Rebels came on theheels of Friday night’s rough 81-62 defeatat the hands of Richmond’s R.C. Palmerin the semifinal, a team that prior to thetourney was ranked second overall in B.C.,just one spot ahead of Fox.

For both teams it was the second gameof the day, but for the Ravens, it lookedlike the third.

“I’m not big on excuses, we just didn’tcome out to play,” Fox head coach RichChambers said. “It was the second gamefor them, too, and Palmer just physicallykicked the crap out of us.”

It certainly didn’t start out that way,as the Ravens stormed out to a 20-3 lead.Momentum shifted quickly and Palmer,who went on to beat Kelowna in the final70-63 and earn the No. 1 spot in today’sB.C. poll.

Despite a pair of losses to close out thetourney, the host Ravens are expected tohold on to a top-five spot, behind BurnabySouth and Kelowna.

A mild concussion to starting guardBret Macdonald was a big blow to Fox, andtheir case wasn’t helped by an off-day fromthe other veterans. Ryan Sclater delivered23 points for the Ravens against Palmer,while Scott Hind chipped in 13, includingseven in the opening quarter.

The Ravens opened the series with aneasy 79-43 trouncing of Gleneagle onFriday morning before a packed gym.

Against Burnaby South, a two-pointgame at halftime quickly turned Burnaby’sway on a 15-point run to start the thirdquarter.

Down 13 points entering the fourthframe, the home team cut the deficit tofour on Emeka Adindu’s bucket with 3:48left in the game. But foul trouble and aneed to press put the Rebels on the line,accounting for their final seven points.

Sclater finished with 14 points, whileHind chipped in 12 and Matt Trimble con-tributed 10.

The Gleneagle Talons followed a simi-lar path, winning their first game beforedropping the next two. They opened witha clean 54-41 victory over White RockChristian, as Alex Klocek netted 14 points,and Jeffri Agiba added nine.

In their loss to Fox, the Talons got 19points from Turell Scott.

Gleneagle had its wings clipped 85-58by Vancouver College in their final match,despite 19 points from Klocek.

Opposing general managers wereeager to take some veterans off theCoquitlam Express’ hands at Monday’sB.C. Hockey League trading deadline,but they went away empty-handed.

In the end, Express general managerDarcy Rota and head coach Jon Calvanolistened to team captain Garrick Perryand heard one strong message.

“Our goal from the start of the seasonwas to make the playoffs, and Garrickcame to us before Christmas and saidthat this is where he wanted to be andhe wanted the chance to lead us intothe playoffs,” said Rota.

Perry was also a player most teamscame calling for, but the 20-year-oldforward with a scholarship to theUniversity of Alaska-Fairbainks was ada-mant about finishing what he started.

“There were zero offers that we wereinterested in,” Rota said. “Perry was ada-mant that he wanted to stay, and whenyou move your captain what does thatsay to your other players?”

They already had to begin last week’sthree-game road trip without him, as hewas serving a two-game suspension fora high hit on Jan. 2.

The Express were stopped 5-2 onFriday by division-leading Powell River,suffered a heartbreaking 5-4 overtimeloss to Cowichan Valley, the team theyare battling for the last playoff spot,and then squandered a 3-0 lead in whatturned into a disappointing 6-5 setbackin Nanaimo on Sunday.

Despite those losses, the club is stilljust two points back of Cowichan with17 games left. That the Island teamtraded the league’s top scorer, MikeHammond, to Salmon Arm on Mondaycould add an interesting element intothe chase for the final playoff berth.

Coquitlam led in both Cowichanand Nanaimo but were unable to staveoff the home team’s rally. On Sunday,markers by Malcolm McKinney,Massimo Lamacchia and Mitch Paceybefore the game was six minutes oldprovided a great start, but Nanaimo ral-lied to tie it before the period ended.

Early in the third and down by two,the Express charged back to tie it ontallies by McKinney and Destry Straight.But just 26 seconds after Straight’s pow-erplay goal, Nanaimo’s Myles Fitzgeraldbeat newcomer Billy McGladrey forwhat proved to be the game winner.

It was a similar story a day earlier inDuncan, when Alex Petan scored twiceto tie it with 49 seconds left in regula-tion. But Cowichan cashed in on a goal-mouth scramble in overtime to take thetwo points, and handing Coquitlam itsleague-worst ninth overtime defeat.

Top girls teams collide this week at Centennial’s Top-10The big teams of AAA senior girls basketball are

coming to Coquitlam this week to raise their games atthe Centennial Top-10 Shootout.

Four of the top-six ranked teams will be battling forbragging rights, including No. 1-rated Brookswoodand third-seeded W.J. Mouat. Eight of the top-10teams are in attendance, with four also listed on thelatest ranking as honourable mentions.

Action tips off Thursday, 9:30 a.m. in Centennial’sblue gym when Mouat plays Fleetwood Park, whileat 10 a.m. in the red gym No. 10 ranked Maple Ridgeplays Carson Graham.

Ninth-ranked Centennial opens at 1 p.m. againstKelowna. Action continues Friday, with semifinalsslated for 6 and 7:45 p.m. The championship gamewill be played 4:30 p.m. on Saturday at Centennial.


“We had three gloriouschances (Sunday) in the lastminute to tie it up,” saidCalvano. “It kind of came downto defensive letdowns and badbreaks, but we’ve got to do abetter job of protecting a lead.”

While they didn’t make anymajor deals at the tradingdeadline, the team did make acouple of depth moves.

They dealt 19-year-old back-up netminder Luke Hernandez,who hadn’t started a game inmore than a month, to Fresnoof the North American HockeyLeague for hulking defencemanCody Castro. The six-foot-threeblueliner, a native of Pasadena,Calif., played the previous twoseasons with Lethbridge andTri-City of the Western HockeyLeague.

Rota then signed 17-year-oldMcGladrey, a six-foot-four net-minder who was playing for theOsoyoos junior B club.

In another move, Coquitlamreleased Pacey and inkedEdmonton native Tyler Griffithof the U.S. major midget tierI Russell Stover team. The 18-year-old forward brings offen-sive upside, and like Castro andMcGladrey, has the potential tocontribute past this season.

“[Griffith] is an offensiveplayer, he was being soughtafter by other junior clubs— he was a Canadian playingin the U.S.,” noted Rota. “If you

ask Cody, he’d tell you he’d liketo get back to the (WHL) nextyear and I told him we can usehis talents this year.”

Coquitlam visits Langleytonight and doesn’t hit the ice

again until Jan. 19. But thatdoesn’t mean down-time forCalvano and Rota. The two willhead east to scout tier 1 hockeytournaments in Michigan andIllinois, respectively.

“It’s just about keeping aheadof the competition. Recruitingis a work in progress but we’llhave our eyes around lookingfor the best available 1992s and‘93 imports,” Calvano said.

Thomas takesover for Bellies

LOGJAM: Coquitlam bantam A Chiefs’ Cameron Davitt, right, fends off a Burnaby Eagles’ opponent during theirround-robin game at the Burnaby Minor Hockey Bantam International Hockey Tournament last month. Coquitlamfinished with a 1-2-1 record, including a 4-4 tie with Burnaby and an 8-1 victory over North Delta.

From hall of fame to behindthe bench.

The New WestminsterSalmonbellies announcedTuesday that Ken Thomas willbe their new head coach forthe upcoming 2011 season,succeeding Bob Salt.

Thomas was inducted intothe Canadian Lacrosse Hall ofFame last year and had servedas the assistant general man-ager with the Salmonbellieslast season.

The Port Moody nativeplayed 13 years in the WesternLacrosse Association, end-ing his career by comingout of retirement to join theCoquitlam Adanacs on theirfateful run to the 2001 MannCup championship.

Helping Thomas will beassistants Troy Poelzer andChris Gill.

The trio will have sometough shoes to fill, as Saltguided the Salmonbellies tothree league titles in the lastfour seasons.

The club’s inability to winan unprecedented 25th nation-al senior title for the storied

franchise proved to be Salt’sundoing, and the new coach-ing staff knows what the onlyacceptable outcome is anotherMann Cup championship.

“It was the toughest deci-sion our organization has hadto make,” president and gen-eral manager Dan Richardsonsaid last November. “There wasa feeling within the organiza-tion if we were going to makea change, this was the year tomake it.”

In his seven-year tenure ashead coach, Salt built up an88-35-4 win/loss record duringleague play and a 35-15 recordin the post season, includinga 24-1 run in the last threeseasons.

The closest the ’Bellies cameto winning the Mann Cupwas last year’s final in NewWestminster, when the ’Belliesled Game 7 by a score of 7-6with 16 seconds left to go, buteventually lost the cup in afourth consecutive overtimeloss in the seven-game playoff.

Thomas’ coaching experi-ence includes serving as anassistant coach to Salt.

Salt accepted the blame forthe team’s Mann Cup record,noting that five of those 12losses came in overtime.

There are approximately five people standingbetween creative professionals and the job theywant, a survey suggests.

Six degrees of separation isn’t just a gameto find connections to the actor Kevin Bacon;advertisingand marketingexecutives saythey meet withan average ofsix applicantsbefore filling anopen positionin theirdepartments,according to a survey by The Creative Group,a staffing firm that specializes in creative,advertising, marketing and web professionals.

Approximately 250 marketing and advertisingexecutives were polled for the study.

While the field is expected to increase itshiring in the next three months, it doesn’tmean companies will relax their standards, saysLara Dodo, a vice- president with The CreativeGroup’s Canadian operations.

“Given the high calibre of talent currentlyavailable, employers are being prudent in theirhiring and are weighing their options beforeextending an offer.”

Creative Group offers some tips for job-seekershoping to stand out among the crowd:

• Do your due diligence - Know more thanyou have to about the job and company in orderto define what specifically you can offer. Consult

various sources, gothrough articlesabout the company,ask people in yournetwork for insight.

• Put your bestfoot forward - Bepolite from themoment you step

through the company’s doors. “Resist the urgeto text a friend or send a tweet while you waitin the lobby; you’ll make a better impression bysitting patiently and reading.”

• Watch your body language - Do you touchyour nose a lot when you’re nervous? Do youmake and hold eye contact? Do you sit up orslouch? Practice interviewing with a friend whocan give feedback about any distracting habitsyou might have.

• Tell good stories - Polish up a few goodgo-to anecdotes about yourself and how yousolved business problems (but try not to soundrehearsed). The stories should describe

the problems faced, talk about the actions youtook and wrap up with the final results.

• Ask good questions - And not just aboutmoney and vacation benefits. People respondto you when you give them something to talkto you about, says Brian Marchant, director ofthe business career centre at Queen’s UniversitySchool of Business. So ask detailed questionsabout the job, or how the team you’d be joiningworks together. “Doingso reinforces yourinterest in the positionand company whileproviding you withuseful informationthat can help youdetermine if the jobis a good fit,” saysCreative Group.

• Be yourself - Thehiring manager needsto know whether theperson sitting in frontof him or her is a goodfit. Don’t be someonein the interview thatyou can’t pull off everyday.

• Be positive and follow through - If you don’tget the job, ask the interviewer for tips abouthow you could have done better. “If you acceptrejection graciously, you may even put yourselffirst in line for the company’s next opening.”
