Though the Tri-Cities’ top politicians agree recentrecommendations calling for changes in the wayTransLink can raise funds to meet its budget are agood start, at least one mayor is a little more reluc-tant to hop on the bus.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said he’s stillfrustrated regional mayors haven’t considered anidea he supports, which is to look at generatingrevenue from new developments as a way to raisemuch-needed money in the short term for the tran-sit system.

“I think we’re missing some opportunities to have… development profits around stations to fund someof the lines we’re building,” Stewart said, adding theidea is being considered as part of long-term transit

strategies.On Monday, the Mayors’ Council on Regional

Transportation made several recommendations toTransportation Minister Blair Lekstrom to addressthe funding issues facing TransLink.

The council was tasked with finding solutionswithout raising property taxes.

Some of the motions include asking the prov-ince to enable TransLink to implement a graduatedvehicle-registration fee, vehicle levy, or a regionalcarbon tax.

The mayors also want a change in TransLink’sgovernance style, which would see elected officialsapprove the transportation authority’s base andsupplementary budgets.

The mayors are calling for an audit of TransLinkby the provincial auditor general or new local gov-ernment auditor general.

Stewart said he also isn’t a fan of a vehicle levy,

calling it an “inefficient system.”“It essentially punishes those who drive less,” he

said, acknowledging a levy is a tool available rightnow.

But Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said he likes therecommendations, suggesting they are all usage-based ideas.

Though a similar vehicle levy was proposed adecade ago, but eventually dropped because of thepublic backlash, Clay believes times have changedand the idea is more palatable now.

“It’s driving home to people these things costmoney,” he said.

“If they want them, somehow we have to pay forthem.”

He maintained the problem in the past was thattaxpayers didn’t feel they were getting a lot for their

It proved to be an expensivecivic election for several Tri-Cities candidates, especiallyfor the two Coquitlam mayor-al candidates who quicklyran up a big tab during thecampaign.

According to financial-dis-closure statements filed withthe City of Coquitlam, mayor-al hopeful and former citycouncillor Barrie Lynch out-spent his rival Mayor RichardStewart, but not by much.

Lynch spent $82,040 on hisfailed campaign, while raisinganother $64,929 in contribu-tions.

Meanwhile, Stewartdropped $66,752 on his re-election bid, $30,000 of which

After years of housing a piece of Coquitlam’shistory, the museum at Riverview Hospital isgetting set to close its doors.

The closure is part of a series of building closuresthat will eventually lead to the termination of oper-ations at the hospital later this year, said Jill Cook,executive director of the Coquitlam Heritage Society(CHS).

The two-room exhibit, located in the IndustrialServices Building on the Riverview Hospital groundsoff Lougheed Highway, is home to hundreds of localartifacts, including major pieces of hospital equip-ment, vintage furniture and staff uniforms from vari-ous hospital departments.

“(It gives) the history of mental health in theprovince,” said Hazel Postma, chair of the CHS.“Riverview was the provincial asylum; it has anincredible history of mental health. You can seeinformation on all the different therapies that wereused. It’s a fascinating glimpse of mental healththrough the decades.”

Following its closure on May 31, the collectionwill be placed in storage until exhibit space can befound.

The CHS said finding new exhibit space is a toppriority, however it does not have any locations inmind to house the Riverview collection.

Postma and Cook called the closure of the spacethe “tipping point,” signalling an immediate need fordedicated museum space in the city.

“Historic collections are all across the city, butthere is nowhere to put them … There is the historyof recreation in the city, health care (and) schools.We’ve got it all, but they’re in archives and people’sbasements and we don’t have anywhere to put it so

that the whole community can share (it),” Postmasaid. While the Mackin House is a period house inhistoric Maillardville, it only represents a period ofCoquitlam’s history and is not an official museum,she added.

Cook said the CHS is looking at the SurreyMuseum in Cloverdale for inspiration.

“It’s become very obvious that the no-museummodel is not working for us. One way or another, we

have to find space within a city building or we haveto find (funding for) a purpose-built building,” shesaid.

Coquitlam’s museum could potentially housecountless collections, as well as a full range ofarchival material that will offer a glimpse into thecity’s past.

Surrey’s museum cost approximately $5 millionto build.

Voter says he was ‘robocalled’

Andrew Phillips didn’t thinkmuch of the call he receivedon May 1, 2011.

It was an automated callthat advised him his pollingstation had changed fromthe Sapperton Pensioners’Hall to a church that he can’tremember the name of.

“I was confused, quiteconfused,” said the longtimeRoyal City resident wholives in the riding of NewWestminster-Coquitlam. “Fora short while, I wonderedwhat was going on, but Ilooked at my voter’s card anddecided I would just disregardthe call and go to the pension-ers’ hall to vote ... It was sostrange, but I just wrote it offas an aberration.”

Fast forward to late-February and Phillips waswatching the news and hear-ing about voters all across thecountry receiving “robocalls,”automated calls that wereallegedly giving people wronginformation about their poll-ing station or were harassingin nature and claiming to befrom a particular candidate.

Phillips put the piecestogether and felt stronglyenough that he sent an e-mailto Elections Canada on March5 alleging he had been rob-ocalled.

Several days later, Phillipsgot a call back from ElectionsCanada asking him threequestions: Did the people whocalled identify themselves asbeing from Elections Canada;was it a male or female voice;and had he received a canvass-ing call from a political partyprior to receiving the auto-mated call.

Phillips told ElectionsCanada he couldn’t rememberin regards to the first twoquestions, but he and his wifeMarianne had received a callfrom the Conservatives abouta week prior to the election.

“It was a real person onthe other line,” said Phillips.“They asked whether wewould be voting Conservativeand we both said no. We’vereceived canvassing calls likethis in the past and nothingseemed out of the ordinary.”

After watching more tele-

vision news and hearing whatother robocalls may havesounded like, Phillips is nowpretty sure he received one.

“I am absolutely sure thatours was not the only house-hold in New Westminster-Coquitlam to receive sucha robocall,” said Phillips.“Anyone else who receivedone should inform ElectionsCanada about theirs as well.”

New Democrat FinDonnelly was victoriousin New Westminster-Coquitlam last May, defeatingConservative Diana Dilworthby more than 2,200 votes.

“If this is the case and it’sproven that this is true, this isserious business. This is elec-tion fraud,” Donnelly told TheRecord. “This is absolutelyunacceptable when it comesto tampering with the electionprocess.”

Donnelly said the scenarioPhillips describes is consistentwith what he’s heard otherpeople say has happened tothem.

“People are contacted andasked who they are voting for,and if they say they’re not vot-ing for the Conservatives, thenext call is about a voter sta-tion change,” said Donnelly.“In a swing riding like mine,every vote counts.”

Donnelly said while hisoffice has received calls fromconstituents who believe theymay have been robocalled,Phillips’ official complaint toElections Canada is the firstdocumented case he’s heardabout in his riding.

“I believe this is a seriousenough issue that I’m callingfor a public inquiry into this,”Donnelly said. “People feelthis is an attack on their fun-damental rights and it seems

like there’s enough evidencefor a public inquiry.”

Dilworth told The Recordshe is surprised and shockedto hear of robocalls goingto any constituents in NewWestminster-Coquitlam.

“I am not aware of anyrobocalls taking place in NewWestminster-Coquitlam,” shesaid. “The only phone callsgoing out for us were to oursupporters, confirming theirsupport … I am surprised andquite shocked. I know she-nanigans do take place duringelections, and it’s a shame thissituation has gotten to whereit has.”

Dilworth said Phillips’ com-plaint is the first she’s heardin the riding she wanted towin and she, like Phillips,encourages anybody who mayhave received a robocall tocontact Elections Canada.

Dilworth added she’s fol-lowing the story in the news,and while nothing has beenproven so far, she is distressedin one regard.

“It’s really unfair that allConservatives have beenpainted with a very broadbrush,” she said. “I was andam a very proud Conservativecandidate.”

Phillips would like to see aninquiry into how widespreadthe robocalls were and if theConservatives are found to beresponsible, he’d like to seebyelections in affected ridingsor an entire new federal elec-tion called.

“This has to do with thegoverning of our country,” hesaid. “The health of our dem-ocracy depends upon it.”

SFU economics professorAnke Kessler published areport in February that statesrobocalls in the last federal

election could have signifi-cantly influenced turnout atthe ballot box.

“Ridings where voters wereallegedly targeted by robocalls— meaning they were pos-sibly discouraged from votingor directed to the wrong polls— experienced an estimateddecline in voter turnout ofthree percentage points onaverage. This reduction inturnout translates into rough-ly 2,500 fewer eligible votersgoing to the polls,” she said.

New Westminster-Coquitlam is a riding that haschanged hands between theConservatives and NDP sev-eral times in the last couple ofelections.

The NDP’s Dawn Black tookthe seat from ConservativePaul Forseth in 2006 and heldit again in the October 2008election, beating ConservativeYonah Martin by less than1,500 votes. Black resignedand went on be elected asNew Westminster’s MLA andMartin was appointed to theSenate.

In the November 2009 bye-lection to fill Black’s formerspot, Donnelly received 12,171votes, followed by Dilworthwith 8,730 votes.

In May 2011, Dilworth lostwith 20,806 votes, comparedto Donnelly’s 23,023 votes.

Branch falls on busand injures baby girl

A baby girl has been treated for superficialinjuries after a tree branch fell onto a CoastMountain bus in Coquitlam Monday morning.

The No. 169 bus was heading north onLougheed Highway toward Coquitlam Centrewhen the branch fell on it.

“There was a contractor that was workingfor CP Rail who felled a tree and it ended uphitting a vehicle on Lougheed Highway,” said

Coquitlam fire assistant chief Rod Gill. “I’mnot sure if it was intentional or not to fall thetree in that direction, but it did.”

Gill said the workers may have underesti-mated the distance from the tree to the road-way, which was approximately 75 to 100 feet.

The baby suffered superficial injuries andwas released along with all of the other pas-sengers.

“We’re very fortunate that nobody else washurt … and everyone is OK,” said TransLinkspokesperson Erin Dermer, adding that noother cars were damaged in the incident.

The bus sustained damage to its roof, wind-shield and side windows.

Crews were still examining the bus Mondayto see whether it was drivable or would have tobe towed back to the yard, Dermer added.

Premier Christy Clark has attracted a lot ofattention from her recruitment of key aidesfrom the Stephen Harper government, but I

haven’t seen much evidence that it has resulted in anoticeable right-wing shift in her administration.

As a result, it follows that wooing supporters whohave strayed to the B.C. Conservative party back tothe B.C. Liberal fold is going to require more thanjust a change in personnel and the odd photo opwith Harper.

Oh sure, there was the dust-upbetween reporters and her new com-munications director over a lack ofaccess to the premier in Vancouverlast week that had everyone wonderingwhether this was the first clue a Harper-like approach to governing was occur-ring.

Sara McIntyre, the new director, is aformer press secretary to Harper (whois well-known for his control-freakapproach to communications).

It was assumed this controlling approach wouldfind its way into the B.C. premier’s office, but otherthan the aforementioned incident in Vancouver(which saw McIntyre play a starring role on tele-vision newscasts, telling journalists they couldn’ttalk to the premier) this has not happened.

Clark makes herself available on a regular basisto the media (the press gallery questions her everyday when she’s in Victoria) and so far hasn’t invitedcomparisons to the prime minister when it comes tomedia relations.

She’d be well-advised not to go down that road

anyways. The relationship between the B.C. mediaand this province’s premier has always been aninformal, accessible one — no matter who hasoccupied the office. Any attempt to cut the media offfrom questioning her or her ministers would simplyblow up in the government’s face, and the last thingthis government needs is another case of bad rela-tions with anyone.

The other key aide now working in her officeis Ken Boessenkool, a former Harperaide who is now her chief of staff. Hisright-wing credentials are impeccable,but there’s not much evidence of theminfluencing government policy.

Clark likes to boast that her govern-ment’s latest budget is the “most con-servative” one in the country.

But does a truly “conservative” budgetcollect more than $1 billion in addi-tional taxes, or raise the provincial debtby almost $7 billion in one year? Clark’ssupport of such things as the new tran-

sit levy in Metro Vancouver, the carbon tax and aspiralling provincial debt load does little to appeasethe hard-core conservative voter out there.

And until she finds a way to bring those votersback into her party’s camp, her re-election chancesare doomed.

The first evidence of whether she’s done enoughto win those voters back will be seen relatively soon.The upcoming byelections in Port Moody-Coquitlamand Chilliwack-Hope will test the strength of theB.C. Conservatives, and provide a real measure ofthat party’s impact on the B.C. Liberal party.

In the 2009 general election, the B.C.Conservative candidate in Chilliwack-Hope receivedjust seven per cent of the vote, and the party didn’teven field a candidate in Port Moody-Coquitlam.

This time, the party is running two credible candi-dates and both will likely make a strong impression.Christine Clarke is running in Port Moody, whileJohn Martin is the party’s candidate in Chilliwack.

In this province, history shows governmentsrarely win byelections (Christy Clark’s own victory inVancouver-Point Grey was the first government winin more than 25 years) so the B.C. Liberals have tobe considered underdogs in these contests.

The byelection in Chilliwack-Hope could beparticularly telling. This has all the earmarks of agenuine three-way race and it is conceivable the B.C.Liberals could finish third.

The NDP usually gets about a third of the votein that riding, and will likely fare a little better thistime. But the key numbers to watch will be how theother two parties split the remaining vote.

The result in Chilliwack-Hope will show whetherChristy Clark’s insistence that she’s really a con-servative deep down is actually resonating with dis-affected B.C. Liberal voters.

I have a feeling she still has a lot of convincingto do on that front. Hiring a couple of people fromStephen Harper’s office can only take you so far, andthe B.C. Liberals have a long road ahead of themwhen it comes to recovering support.

Is premier conservative enough to win?

Re: “Just park and walk already,” letter to theeditor, Wednesday, Feb. 22.

It appears that letter writer Dan Todd did not readthe letter that I wrote. (Bylaw officers harassing fam-ilies at soccer games, Friday, Feb. 17).

This person knows nothing aboutme, and therefore his comments wereincorrect, mean and nasty.

Update: I received a reply from theCity of Coquitlam, and I quote “I willcertainly forward your suggestionsregarding the establishment of a drop-offzone, and the installation of signage directing peopleto one of the other lots should no space be availablein the closest lots, to the appropriate departmentsfor consideration.”

‘Taxpayers appear to begetting greenwashed’

Re: “Green roof on fire hall?” Friday, March 16.When I drove past Port Moody’s police station at

night recently, I noticed that the upperfaçade is illuminated with eight or sohigh-wattage flood lights.

So on the one hand, Port Moody citycouncil is debating putting a “greenroof” on the new fire hall, while cosmet-ic lighting wastes electricity and adds to

light pollution nearby.Taxpayers appear to be getting green-washed.

Should we be shocked that StephenHarper’s Conservative government isapparently looking at stripping fish

habitat protection out of the Fisheries Act?Probably not.

The Conservatives seem to have no shamewhere the environment is concerned.

From Kyoto to the Athabasca tar sands, theyseem to be intent on proving to their busi-ness supporters that the economy trumps theenvironment in all areas.

Currently, any project that interferes withfish habitat must undergo an environmentalassessment to obtain an authorization andmust compensate for any loss of habitat.

Leaked documents indicate that only fish ofeconomic, ecological or cultural importancewill be considered for protection, a level ofvagueness that could lead to years of legalchallenges and uncertainty.

“This rumoured revision will remove themost important protection that Canadianshave for fish and fish habitat, and endangermarine ecosystems and all Canadian rivers,lakes and streams,” said Catherine Stewart ofthe Living Oceans Society.

The Conservatives have insisted that “nodecision has been taken” on the fish habitatissue, but they have also stated that, “Federalfisheries policies designed to protect fish areoutdated and unfocused in terms of balancingenvironmental and economic realities.”

Critics are worried that the changes arebeing proposed to smooth the way for pipe-line projects. But the changes will not justimpact one or two pipeline projects — theywill impact every struggling fish and othercreature that depends on our country’s fra-gile natural environment. Streamkeepers andenvironmentalists feel we are already shortof legislation to help protect against pollut-ers and industry spills. If you can’t protect fishhabitat in streams, rivers and the ocean, howwould you think fish can survive? It’s not likethey can pack their bags and move to Norway.

Advice from doctorupsets patient

Re: “Be upfront when seeing your doctor,”Health Wise column by Dr. Davidicus Wong,Friday, March 16.

If it’s true that the patients’ wellbeing isthe primary concern of our doctors, Dr. Wongwouldn’t need to convince us of it, for it wouldbe readily apparent. Instead, Dr. Wong wouldhave us believe that it walks like a duck andquacks like a duck, but it isn’t a duck.

I once had a doctor who told me he didn’tthink he had any other patients with the samedisease as me, and so he “wasn’t going to getinvolved.”

I fail to see how this discriminating act wasout of concern for my wellbeing.

Another doctor told me that Western medi-cine had nothing to offer for my very real,physical disease and that I should seek alterna-tive medicine.

My most recent attempt at finding a doctorended when the doctor yelled at me that every-one has pain and, besides, I don’t have cancer.I am currently awaiting biopsy results fromlumps found in both breasts.

I did not access this care in any way frommy doctor, I went through the B.C. screeningmammography program, at the urging of awalk-in doctor. My female GP never, ever sentme for a mammogram.

In a previous column, Dr. Wong admittedthat the vast majority of his peers quickly nar-rowed down the differential to the most com-mon diagnosis, which may or may not be thecorrect diagnosis.

As a result of this dangerous method ofdoctoring, I have been injured from a severe,adverse reaction to a drug my doctor pre-scribed for me based on a wrong, but com-mon, diagnosis (so it didn’t solve my original

problem) and without considering my historyto see if it was safe for me to take the drug. (Itwasn’t.)

Doctors may not have time for dinner, butmine only practises two to three days per weekand adores travelling.

Folks, the reason doctors are rushed andusually don’t examine you is because the short-er the appointments are, and the more of themthey cram in, the more money they make.That’s also why they don’t take 10 seconds oftheir own time to call in a prescription refill toa pharmacy and milk a paid appointment outof it instead.

Don’t believe me? Check out thesickening online magazine calledJust for Canadian Doctors. In a col-umn called “Doctor on a Soapbox,”doctors find tips and tricks to speedup appointments (because “time ismoney”) such as “pretend to takeyour patient’s pulse if you wantthem to stop talking.”

Once upon a time, being a physician was anhonourable, respected profession. This respectis not going to be restored by publishing non-sense propaganda telling us we are our doctor’stop priority; it will only be restored by doctorsactually being good doctors again.

If the “typical clinical style” of questioningthat Dr. Wong refers to worked so well, anundiagnosed or misdiagnosed patient would bea rare anomaly. Years ago, taking the time toexamine was a popular aid in successfully diag-nosing patients.

A doctor’s appointment is not a businessmeeting with an agenda — it is actually a pro-fessional being well paid to help a vulnerable,sick, hurting person.

The patient’s agenda is quite simple: wewant a thorough attempt at finding the correctdiagnosis, followed by the best treatment plan

possible. What do they think we’re there for?Mary Williams

Shaughnessy crosswalkis dangerous

On Tuesday, Feb. 21, an Archbishop Carneystudent was struck and injured while crossingon a marked crosswalk with overhead flash-ing lights at Shaughnessy Street and FraserAvenue.

Letters have been written to council manytimes regarding this crosswalk. This is the

same type of crosswalk that a 16-year-old was using on Como LakeAvenue a few years back, and shewas struck and killed.

A pedestrian-controlled lighthas since been installed there.

This recent accident shouldserve as a wake-up call to PoCo

council. Please do not wait for a fatal accidentbefore making this crossing safer.

Drivers: please pay closer attention at cross-walks and keep our kids safe.

Reflective strips neededon B.C. roads

Road safety is always a big issue for people,especially our seniors.

So anything the government of B.C. can dothat increases road safety is obviously a goodthing and something we should be looking at.

That’s why I was excited to hear about a newkind of reflective material being used to maketraffic lines on roads easier to see. Apparentlyit actually shines your headlights’ beam backat you.

I haven’t seen these new reflective linesmyself, but friends who have, on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, tell me they’re really helpful andeven work well on a dark rainy night.

I don’t know why nobody thought of doingthis sooner, but it sure is a good idea and Iwould love to see the same thing done on theIsland Highway.

PoCo mayor says public consultation neededNews

money, but now that the transit system isexpanding, people are starting to realize thecosts.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore cau-tioned that the recommendations are just

options the mayors would like as they consultwith the public.

“The mayors haven’t prioritized or chosenone of those options as more important thanany of the others,” he said, adding they are along ways from being implemented.

And all the mayors agree with the request to

change the governance model.Clay suggested there is a disconnect between

the elected officials and the TransLink board,while Stewart argued the current system

doesn’t give the mayors input in the decisionsother than raising money for TransLink.

“No one in the world would accept the sys-tem we have now,” Stewart said.

was out of his own pocket.The mayor said he never

expected to spend thatamount, but circumstanceschanged his plans.

He explained he origin-ally put a $40,000 cap on hisexpenses, but that amountwas raised to $50,000, andtopped again after he was ina car accident days before thevote.

Stewart said he spent$14,000 in the last week of thecampaign on resources as herecovered from his injuries.

“I’ve always believed moneyshouldn’t be a determiningfactor,” he said.

“It wasn’t three years ago

and it wasn’t this year.”Stewart topped Lynch in

the polls by 2,500 votes.The mayor said he plans to

hold a fundraiser in April tohelp recoup some of his cam-paign expenses.

Stewart didn’t reach the$60,000-mark on his own,netting some notable dona-tions, including $5,000 eachfrom Rosedale Leasing,Wesbild Holdings and BurkeMountain Homes.

As for Lynch, he receivednotable contributions fromUrban Gate for $10,000 andanother $9,000 from CUPELocal 386, the CoquitlamCivic Employee Union.

The races for mayor in PortCoquitlam and Port Moodywere decidedly cheaper.

PoCo Mayor Greg Moorecruised to a second termspending $29,799 on his cam-paign, while raising $30,185in contributions.

He received notablecontributions from OnniContractors for $5,000 andanother $2,000 each fromLiberty Homes and EmterraGroup.

Challenger William Issakept his campaign cheap,spending $3,281 and receiv-ing $1,950 in contributions.Moore won the election bymore than 4,000 votes.

In Port Moody, Mayor MikeClay spent $9,750 on his suc-cessful campaign, also raising$10,344 in contributions.

He received notable dona-tions from Appia develop-ments for $2,000, and PolygonHomes for $500.

His closest challenger,Robert Simons, spent slightlymore at $10,891, most ofwhich was self-funded.

thieves will soon get face-timewith a judge after allegedlybeing caught red-handed.

Coquitlam RCMP’s ProlificTarget Team (PTT) arrestedthe group on March 14, whilethey were allegedly attempt-ing to steal wire and breakinto a vehicle around theUnited Boulevard area.

The force’s PTT was keep-ing an eye on one of thewomen in the group aftershe was arresteddays earlier andcharged with mis-chief for anothermetal theft.

Police said oneof the generalduty members had“street checked” the suspectseveral times, which gave theteam enough information toidentify her as a possible sus-pect in a recent spike in metalthefts in the area.

The investigation led tothe arrests of Janet Milne,54, Jason Whitford, 32, andShannon Barelli, 22, ofSurrey, who are facing char-ges of mischief over $5,000,possession of break-in instru-ments, and theft.

Whitford was also chargedfor possession of stolen prop-erty, while Milne was chargedfor failing to comply with herundertaking condition.

The truck is described asbeing light gold or yellow incolour with a canopy.

There is a window on theback of the canopy and thetruck may have raised suspen-sion.

It also has a silver/chromebumper and/or grill.

The driver is described asa tan-skinned man in his late20s or early 30s.

The woman received non-life-threatening injuries to herback, hips and leg from thecollision.

While Coquitlam RCMPare urging the driver to comeforward, anyone with infor-mation is asked to call thedetachment at 604-945-1550and quote file number 2012-6281.

Anmore to get new outdoor recreation park

Residents of Anmore willsoon be able to work theirglutes under the open sky.

The village has qualified for$104,848 of provincial fundingto build an outdoor recreationpark.

The park will include water-proof outdoor fitness equip-ment along with washrooms.

The plan is to locate thenew gym beside AnmoreElementary.

Anmore Mayor HeatherAnderson said the new out-door facility provides a much-needed amenity to the com-munity.

“We don’t have any recrea-tion areas other than the nat-ural outdoor spaces that wehave,” she said.

The village is coming upwith the other $20,000 forthe project as part of a fund-ing arrangement with theprovince.

The project is expected tobe complete sometime thissummer.

Though the village wel-comes the new gym, the facil-ity is separate from a com-mittee between Anmore andPort Moody to examine jointrecreation services.

Anderson said the villageappointed its committeemembers last week, includ-ing three residents and Coun.Kerri Palmer-Isaak.

Anderson said she expectsthe full committee to meet inthe next month.

The task force was set up toexamine joint recreation ser-vices and their potential costs,as well as revenue-sharingpossibilities between the twocommunities.

Anmore residents currentlypay more than double the feesto use Port Moody facilities.

While Anmore gets a newplace to workout, the Westhilllacrosse box in Port Moodyhas scored a major makeover.

The province is giving thecity $681,332 to redevelopthe lacrosse box and increase

year-round access to the facil-ity. The plans include expand-

ing the existing box to a1,560-square-foot multi-sport

facility, the construction of apermanent roof, new fencing,

surfacing player benches andspectator viewing areas and

creating new electrical works,lighting and pathways.

Candidates eager to campaign

Premier Christy Clark maynot be ready, but the threecandidates hoping to repre-sent Port Moody-Coquitlamare more than prepared for abyelection.

With only a couple of weeksleft before the deadline to callthe much-anticipated election,the campaign of words is wellunderway.

BC Conservative candidateChristine Clarke took a swipeat the premier for continuingto wait to drop the writ, call-ing the delay “shameful.”

“I think the people of thisriding should have had rep-resentation — whatever thestripe — in Victoria duringthe spring session,” she toldThe NOW.

She argued the Liberalsknew who their candidatewould be, and suggested thepremier is “playing politics.”

Speaking to the media lastweek, Premier Clark indicateda byelection would be calledwithin a couple of weeks.

She has until April 7.NDP candidate Joe

Trasolini, who has been inperpetual campaign modefor several months, said he’sspoken with residents who arealso eager to pick their newMLA.

He said residents havebeen without representationthrough the opening of thelegislature, a budget and dis-cussions on major issues.

“There is all sorts of frus-tration as to why we’re wait-ing,” Trasolini said.

He tempered his comments,however, by adding that heunderstands the premier hasthe discretion to call a byelec-

tion when she sees fit.Meanwhile, Liberal candi-

date Dennis Marsden said he’sjust making sure all the piecesare in place when the electionis finally called.

He officially opened hiscampaign office on Saturday,March 17.

But Marsden defendedagainst his opponents’ asser-tions that residents haven’tbeen properly represented inthe last five months.

He noted that former MLAIain Black’s constituencyoffice is shared with col-league and Coquitlam-Burke

Mountain MLA Doug Horne,and that calls and questionsfrom residents are beingaddressed appropriately.

“Any issues that the resi-dents have brought to atten-tion have been addressed,”he said, adding it would be“deceitful” to claim otherwise.

All three candidates saidthey are ready for the cam-paign when the election doeseventually get underway.

The riding of Port Moody-Coquitlam has been vacantsince October after Iain Blackresigned to take a job with theVancouver Board of Trade.

Local website helping charity

Coquitlam resident Ryan McKenzie isturning the written word into a uniqueway of donating to charity.

McKenzie, along with business part-ner Kevin Hinton, created the websiteInfoBarrel.com.

The Coquitlam-based business is acrowd-sourced website that allows writersto submit articles for posting. They canthen choose whether or not to donatetheir share of revenues from onlineadvertising to charity.

InfoBarrel.com’s charity of choice isthe Huntington Society of Canada.

Huntington disease is a genetic dis-order that affects muscle coordination,leading to incapacitation and eventuallydeath.

“We have advertising on the site.Typically, if you’re a writer we give you75 per cent of the revenue generated bythe article,” said McKenzie. “Instead ofgiving the money to the writer, it goes tocharity.”

The website also features a char-ity progress tracker, which is updatedweekly, showing how much money hasbeen raised.

According to McKenzie, since itslaunch in 2006, the website has becomeone of the largest such sites in Canada,with approximately 92,000 members.

So far, he said, 1,780 articles havegenerated more than $2,600 for theHuntington Society.

For McKenzie, the cause is close to hisheart.

“My sister (Courtenay) was diagnosed

with the rare disease in 2006, which iswhat originally sparked my interest insupporting the cause. Since then I haveorganized numerous other fundraisersoutside of InfoBarrel.com, but couldn’tresist the idea of mass collaboration andsocial media applied to fundraising.”

For now, the website remains a com-pilation of “how tos” ranging from Howto Plan a Group Picnic in 6 Easy Steps toUnderstanding the Capital Gains Tax andMoney Saving Strategies and a Beginner’sGuide to Investing.

Anyone from Grade 12 students touniversity professors is encouraged tocontribute, McKenzie said.

“Our stance is that not everybody has

the money or the time to do things forcharity,” he explained. “But everybody isan expert in one field. Why not take 20or 30 minutes and write down what youknow and you can help make a differ-ence?”

McKenzie hopes the site will eventuallygrow into a “destination” for informationonline.

“We want it to become a resource forjust about anything you would need tosearch for,” he said. “It’s not going to beas authoritative as Wikipedia … we’repushing our writers to continuouslyproduce better content. Our goal is tohave the website be a destination forinformation.”

Local company Euro-Rite Cabinets Ltd. has stepped up to help PortCoquitlam kids get a much needed financial boost to their soccerprogram. Euro-Rite has become the major sponsor of the PortCoquitlam youth soccer association.Some of the goals on the league’s agenda are: An all-weather field,better lighting, training for coaches and development for players, anew club house, updated equipment and more team tents to keep dryduring rainy games. Plus they would like to be able to increase thenumber of scholarships to players.It is difficult to get the things the league needs to function as well askeep the fees affordable.

help strengthen our community. We believe there are great benefits to youth sports and being part of a team.

Debt reduction tips for BoomersAs Boomers get closerto retirement age, manyare still loaded downby debt. This is an issuebecause their incomewill be greatly reducedduring retirement andpaying down debt willbe increasingly moredifficult. The best idea isto clear the debt first. Theexperts from DesjardinsFinancial Security suggestthat while you’re stillworking, it’s importantto look at your financialsituation seriouslyand start making thenecessary adjustmentsnow.

Never too lateto set up goodfinancial habits

According to Statistics

Canada’s “Retiring withdebt” publication, one inthree retirees has someform of debt, and that’sequally true for couplesand single people. Thedebt can be in the formof loans, credit cards andlines of credit. But thegood news is that theseretirees owe less thanCanadian workers aged55 and up. Their mediandebt is $19,000, ascompared to $40,000 forworkers. The ideal plan isto develop good financialhabits during yourworking life to ensurethat you have plenty ofsavings and few liabilitiesat retirement.

Understanding yourliabilities and payingthem off

There are two types ofdebt: one increases yourassets like a mortgageand the other reducesyour assets like creditcards. Credit in and ofitself isn’t the problem, solong as it’s managed well.To know exactly whereyou stand make a list ofall your liabilities:

• Bank and store creditcards tend to have thehighest interest rates,so you should focus onpaying this off first

• Lines of credit• Car loan• Investment loans• Student loans

Once you’ve paid off thedebt with the highestinterest rate, considertrying to pay off your

mortgage next.You can reduce theamortization periodfor your mortgageby increasing yourpayment amounts,payment frequency(e.g. weekly ratherthan monthly) or bymaking a prepayment.

As an addedprotection, considercredit insurance andterm life insurance.In case of illness,disability or death,these types ofinsurance will protectyour family bycovering off your debtsand securing your assets.

For more information,speak to your financial

advisor. Or for immediateanswers, visit the“Thinking about yourretirement” page foundin the Life Events section

on Desjardins FinancialSecurity’s website, www.desjardinslifeinsurance.ca.

(NC) — Seniors aresetting the recordstraight: love andromance aren’t just forthe young. In fact, sevenin 10 seniors over theage of 75 say they’renever too old for love.

This is one of the keyfindings of the ReveraReport on Romance,which surveyed olderadults aged 75-plus,Boomers and GenYers, to find out abouttheir expectationsand experiences withsocial interaction asthey age — includinglove, romance andcompanionship.The report found:

• Only 38 per centof Boomers and GenYers believe love andromance will still be veryimportant when they areover 75, compared to 88per cent of seniors whosay companionship issomething they couldn’tdo without.

• Just as many seniorshave romantic partnersas 18 to 30 year olds(approximately 50 percent for each group).

• Senior men place

higher importance onlove and romance, with83 per cent saying it’simportant, compared tojust 56 per cent of seniorwomen.

“Seniors’ positive outlookon love and romanceis encouraging to seebecause they are bothimportant aspects ofsocial interaction,”says Dr. Amy D’Aprix,gerontologist and anexpert on aging. “Whatmany people don’tknow is that remainingsocially active can havea significant impact onyour physical health,such as reducing yourrisk of developingdementia and

Alzheimer’s disease. It’salso been shown to havea comparable impact onmortality as smoking andalcohol and, of course,there’s no question thatit also contributes tohappiness and emotionalhealth.”

Seniors themselvesrecognize that socialinteraction andhaving meaningfulrelationships can makeall the difference whenit comes to aging. In fact,98 per cent of seniorsbelieve that keepingsocially active is just asimportant to successfulaging as good physicalhealth.

LET’S PUT STUDENTS

BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS FACT

The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teacherson call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.

The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure thatPro-D days really are for professional development.

The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority. The government supports seniority but qualifications must also count so thatmath teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.

The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will bedismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.

The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardizedevaluation process.

The union says that government refuses to negotiate. There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.

The union says that class size limits have been eliminated. Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.

The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers. 2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new$165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.

The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other benefits that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BCfamilies. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases.

It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonablesalary demand in difficult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.

It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student fundingwhich is at an all time high, not on wage increases.

We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan thatteachers, parents and students are helping to shape.

Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

FUNDING FOR STUDENTS,NOT FOR WAGE HIKES.


By DAVID MORGANSTAFF WRITER

ICC will be placing ads in newspapers,radio and running television spots this weekasking people to bring in any old silver andgold coins made before 1968 and U.S. coinsmade before 1970. Those that bring in theircoins will be able to speak with collectorsone on one and have their coins looked atby a specialist. With the help of these ICCmembers, offers will be made to those that havecoins made before 1968. Offers will be madebased on silver or gold content and the rarityof the coins. All coins made before 1968 willbe examined and purchased including goldcoins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types ofnickels and pennies. Those that decide to selltheir coins will be paid on the spot.If you are like a lot of people you might havea few old coins or even a coffee can full lyingaround. If you have ever wondered what theyare worth now might be your chance to find outand even sell them if you choose. They could beworth a lot according to the International CoinCollectors also known as ICC. Collectors willpay a fortune for some coins and currency fortheir collections. If it is rare enough, one coincould be worth over $100,000 according toEric Helms, coin collector and ICC member.One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, soldfor a record $1.9 million to a collector in Julyof 2007. While that is an extreme example,many rare and valuable coins are stashedaway in dresser drawers or lock boxes aroundthe country. The ICC and its collector membershave organized a traveling event in search ofall types of coins and currency. Even commoncoins can be worth a significant amount due tothe high price of silver and gold, says Helms.Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes canbe worth many times their face value. Recentsilver markets have driven the price up oncommon coins made of silver. Helms explainsthat all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimesmade before 1970 contain 90% silver andare sought after any time silver prices rise.Right now it’s a sellers market he said.The rarest coins these collectors are lookingfor include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 goldcoins and any coin made before 1850. Thesecoins always bring big premiums according tothe ICC. Silver dollars are also very soughtafter nowadays.Other types of items the ICC will be purchasingduring this event include U.S. currency, goldbullion, investment gold, silver bars, silverrounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coinsare sought after and will be purchased.

Also at this event anyone can sell their goldjewellery, dental gold or anything made ofgold on the spot. Gold is currently trading atrecord high prices. Bring anything you thinkmight be gold and the collectors will examine,test and price it for free. If you decide to sell,you will be paid on the spot – it has been anunknown fact that coin dealers have alwayspaid more for jewellery and scrap gold thanother jewelers and pawn brokers.So whether you have one coin you think mightbe valuable or a large collection you recentlyinherited, you can talk to these collectors forfree. If your’re lucky you may have a rarityworth thousands. Either way there is nothingto lose and it sounds like fun!

Province issues warning about computer scamFor several months, phone scammers have

been targeting British Columbians by pretend-ing to be with a reputable computer softwarecompany, asking to perform urgent softwareupdates and requesting hundreds of dollars asa fee for their service.

In response to this and other frauds, theprovince and Consumer Protection BC areteaming up during Fraud Prevention Month toprovide tips to help British Columbians fraud-proof themselves.

Fraud Prevention Month is a national initia-tive with the goal of fighting fraud aimed at

businesses and consumers.This phone scam is a prevalent one, accord-

ing to a press release. The Canadian Anti-FraudCentre says it currently accounts for 70 percent of all fraud complaints in Canada.

The phone scam works like this: Tom, a B.C.resident, receives a phone call at dinnertime.The caller explains he is from “Microsoft TechSupport.”

He asks Tom whether his computer is run-ning slowly and encourages him to downloadsoftware right away to fix his computer. Tomhas found that his system has been sluggish

lately so he follows the caller’s instructions andbills the new “software” to his credit card. Thetotal bill is in the hundreds of dollars.

Unfortunately, Tom has been scammed andhas installed spyware, or malware, on his com-puter.

The corrupt program can potentially mon-itor what he is typing on his computer, includ-ing personal information like banking detailsand passwords.

Here are some tips to protect you and yourfamily from becoming a victim of this “virus-fixing” scheme:

• If you receive one of these unsolicitedphone calls, hang up and do not download any-thing onto your computer.

• Do your research and ask questionsaround all unsolicited phone calls.

• Get the name, phone number and websiteaddress of any company that calls you. Checkto see if it is a legitimate company or if a realcompany’s name is being used as part of ascam. The Internet has a great deal of usefulinformation on scam avoidance.

• Do not provide any personal information,especially your credit card number.

For several years I experi-enced pain in my hip whichspread to my lower back andmade my leg ache. It wouldclear up with time but eachreoccurrence became worseand lasted longer.Chiropractic made some ad-justments and then referredme to my doctor who diag-nosed bone spurs in the hipjoint arthritis in my back. Heprescribed pain killers andanti inflammatory drugs,

neither of which my bodywould tolerate. The endresult would be surgerywhich I wanted to avoid.I was sceptical of LaserTherapy at first but couldno longer walk, bend over,sit or stand too long with-out pain. I limped into Dr.Bennett’s clinic and after 2treatments felt almost im-mediate relief, and after 4,danced at my grandson’swedding. After 10 treat-ments I was completelyback to normal with no painand fully functioning. I’mlooking forward to springgardening. This therapyworks wonders. I couldn’tbelieve it, and I wouldstrongly recommend it.

Crookes clutches up in historic Fox win

There were ample reasonsfor the Coquitlam Expressto hum along to the BeachBoys’ eponymous hit GoodVibrations Monday night.

Not only did the clubsecure a 3-2 overtime win,but they also scored a crucialpower play marker.

The fact that Monday’soffensive output matchedtheir goal totals from theprevious two games combineddoesn’t hurt either.

The Express drew theirbest-of-seven series withthe Powell River Kings to2-1 Monday, after JustinGeorgeson tallied the gamewinner just over two minutesinto the extra session.

Having posted 18 goals inthe regular season, Georgesongot on the postseason score-sheet Monday after convert-ing a two-on-one markeroff a broken play to give theExpress some confidence,momentum and mojo.

“I scored quite a few goalsthis season, but none of thatmagnitude,” Georgeson said.“Getting a goal like that, espe-cially in that game, kind ofswings the momentum in theseries back to our way. It wasexciting and it was nice thatsomething good finally hap-pened for me.”

Monday’s game winnercame at the 2:25 mark ofovertime, as the Maple Ridgeproduct convened on Kingsnetminder Sean Maguire in atwo-on-one scenario alongsideExpress captain Alex Petan.

Georgeson first attemptedto hook his partner up, butthe lone Kings defencemanblocked the pass. Thankfullyfor Coquitlam, that block sawthe puck carom right backonto Georgeson’s stick for therelatively easy tap in.

“Honestly, we were prettytired on that play, but as soonas I saw the puck go in, I had100 per cent of my energyback,” Petan said.

Outside of Georgeson’sgame winner, the Express also

Score Card

Express down2-1 in playoffset with Kings

Regardless of whether he plays an instru-ment or not, it’s pretty safe to say that JesseCrookes is Port Coquitlam’s newest rock star.

The Grade 12 Terry Fox Secondary student hit theproverbial shot of his life Saturday night to give Foxa last second, come-from-behind 75-74 win over thehome town Walnut Grove Gators.

In the process of doing so, Crookes helped Foxsecure its first B.C. AAA boys basketball champion-ship since 1994, thanks in part to the 10-foot jumperhe hit with less than four seconds to play.

“In my head, I was thinking to myself, ‘OK, I knowI don’t have much time here, so I’m just going totake the shot myself,’” Crookes recalled Monday. “Iremember driving, pulling up and shooting and Ihad no idea what would come after that. But it wentin. It was crazy. What an amazing feeling.”

For a club ranked 10th headed into the big dance,the fact that they were even in the finals came as ashock to some. On top of that underdog billing, theRavens found themselves trailing by as many as nine

points with under three minutes to go. They ralliedwith 10 straight to take a late lead before WalnutGrove pulled ahead by one with under 10 seconds toplay in the fourth quarter.

Cue up the timeout for instruction, and a replicaof PoCo’s favourite son for inspiration.

“We had a brass trophy of Terry Fox that we alltouched when we came out of the timeout as a sortof good luck kind of thing,” Crookes said.

The play was initially drawn up for Daniel Collinsto shoot a three from beyond the arc, a shot thatultimately didn’t fall. Tanner Moss grabbed thatcrucial rebound and dished it to Crookes, who thenfaked a shot, lost his defender momentarily anddropped what proved to be the game winner.

“It was really surreal. I felt like it was a dream atthat time, because I couldn’t believe I actually justdid that,” Crookes said. “I’ve had tons of people tex-ting me and congratulating me. People I don’t evenknow have been e-mailing me and congratulatingme. It’s been crazy.”

On top of Crookes’ 16 points on the night, Fox gota team-high 17 points from tournament MVP andfirst team all-star Ryan Sclater, who made eight-of-nine field goal attempts. Collins also dropped 13,while Trevor Casey netted 10.

“It’s pretty crazy. I realize that I probably wasn’tthe best player at the tournament, but I guess I won[the MVP] because I was leading the winning team,”Sclater said. “I have to thank all my teammates,because if we don’t win that tournament there’s noway I win that trophy. It really comes down a totalteam effort for me to be recognized like that.”

The fact that Fox had four players in double digitsin Saturday’s final is an apt reflection of the makeupof the team — getting it done by committee whilemaintaining a fighting spirit all season long.

“I attribute that resiliency to the character of ourguys,” said Fox co-coach Steve Hanson. “Some daysas a coach, you don’t know exactly why your teamlost, but you have to get back at it and find littlethings to get better at. Our guys were always backin the gym on time, ready to go and wanting to getbetter.”

Fox punched its ticket to the final after a 73-64win over White Rock Christian Academy on Fridaynight. In that game, Crookes posted a team-high18 points, including a trio of three pointers, whileCasey and Moss contributed 15 apiece.

“Our focus was to get the ball inside,” Hanson

said. “We got the ball inside, but when the ball came back out-side, Jesse [Crookes] and Tanner [Moss] were just on fire.”

Perhaps the biggest shock en route to the final was Fox’scommanding 66-30 dismantling of Pitt Meadows, a club thatbested the Ravens in both previous encounters during the regu-lar season and playoffs.

In those two previous contests, Sclater committed a total of25 turnovers — on Thursday, he had four, on top of a team-high 21 points.

“We focused so much in our week of practices coming up tothe tournament on just pure execution,” Sclater said. “We’vehad turnover problems throughout the year in all of our losses,and that was our biggest improvement coming in to the tourna-ment. We cut them way down.”

That winning feeling was first fostered by a tournament-open-ing 73-52 win over Oak Bay, a game in which Sclater scored 22points on a nine-of-12 showing from the field.

To even get to that point seemed distant at the beginningof the season, as the program had lost longtime coach RichChambers and stalwart graduates Scott Hind, Matt Trimble andBret MacDonald.

“We were an underdog team in every way possible. Therewasn’t much expected of us and to get back to the B.C.s wasgoing to be a challenge. But we just kept fighting,” Hansonsaid. “We have a lot of guys who are just dogs: they fight andthey scrap for everything they have. They’re underdogs in life inmany ways too. A lot of these guys probably won’t go on to playany basketball in college, so this may have been their last gamein a lot of their lives. They were such a team.”


Fox avenges Pittloss convincingly

Express back in it after OT win

got markers from AlexanderKerfoot and Clinton Atkinson.Netminder Khaleed Devji gothis first start in the series,and turned aside 40 of the 42shots he faced.

“He looked great,” saidExpress coach Jon Calvano.

“Khaleed has been fantasticat home all season, and he’sbeen fantastic against PowellRiver at home all season. Itwas a big win for him and bigconfidence boost for him.”

The Express were down bya pair after the first periodin Game 2 Saturday beforeKerfoot got the visitors on the

board with a man-up tally 39seconds into the second.

Huggins stopped 31shots in absorbing the lossSaturday, and turned aside 27shots in Friday’s 4-2 loss. Inthat game, the offence camecourtesy of Brady Shaw andAtkinson.

“We’ve got a lot of youngguys who maybe weren’t usedto that pressure,” Calvano saidof the first two losses.

Game 4 was played Tuesdayafter NOW deadlines. Game 5is set for Thursday in PowellRiver. If necessary, Game 6would be played in CoquitlamFriday and Game 7 would goSaturday in Powell River.
