BACK TO SCHOOL

Slow and easy nearschools, say police

By Sarah PayneTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

With children heading back to school nextweek, police are offering Tri-City parentsand motorists tips on how to keep the trip toschool and work safe.

“The biggest problem ends up being trafficbacklog,” said Const. Luke van Winkel of thePort Moody Police. “There are lots of peopletrying to get to the same place, parents drop-ping kids off wherever they find parking andkids running out, and not leaving enoughtime to get to school with the increased carson the road.”

Van Winkel cautioned everyone, whetherthey’re driving or taking transit to school orwork, to leave extra time to get to their desti-nation next week.

“When people don’t factor that into theirmorning commute, they start driving faster,”he added. “Everybody just needs to givethemselves enough time to get to their desti-nation safely.”

Bear season is not over yet in Tri-CityCities urging area residents topick fruit before it attracts bears

By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Conservation officers are asking the pub-lic to pick fruit from their trees — beforeit ripens — after a sow and two cubs wereremoved from a Port Coquitlam backyardthis week.

On Tuesday, provincial governmentcrews tranquillized and tagged the blackbear and its youngsters as they ate plumsat a Stevenson Street home, near KitchenerStreet.

Terry Myroniuk told The Tri-City Newsthe animals were not considered aggressivebut the sow had been removed two years agofrom Jervis Street, about three blocks away.At the time, it was feeding on garbage withtwo different cubs. They were moved withthe sow at least 100 km away, he said, declin-ing to give the exact location.

Myroniuk said the mother would havebeen destroyed Tuesday had it not been forher cubs as the sow has a pattern of takingits offspring to residential areas to feed.

“If she had been a boar or a female with-out cubs, it’s unlikely we would have relo-cated her,” he said.

A2 Tri-City News Friday, September 3, 2010

By Sarah PayneTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

It took only a moment for Eileen Mohan’slife to change forever.

And she would give anything — anythingat all — to change it back.

She would go back and change thecourse of events on Oct. 19, 2007, the dayher 22-year-old son, Chris, was killed in theSurrey Six slayings. He and another man,55-year-old Ed Schellenberg, were inno-cent bystanders who happened to be in thewrong place at the wrong time when thegangsters entered a Surrey apartment andstarted shooting.

“I asked him to stay home that day,”Mohan recalled. “I had to be at work... soI asked him to be at home. I live with thatdecision every day. It could have been theother way around, it could have been me.”

Mohan said before that moment, she andher family lived on schedules, attending totoday’s needs but always living for the fu-ture, with plans for next month, next year,someday.

“Ever since Chris, it’s one day at a time,”she said. “The most important moment isthe present moment we’re in, because wedon’t know what will happen to us in the

next moment. It’s unpre-dictable. It happened tous.

“I spoke to my son onemoment and a few hourslater he was gone.”

Mohan will be a specialguest of the CoquitlamPublic Library next weekas part of its LivingLibrary program, in

which living “books” are made available topatrons for one-on-one conversations.

So far, there have been three LivingLibrary programs, with “books” rangingfrom subject experts to those whose expe-riences can provide people with a greaterunderstanding of the world we live in.

Community services librarian TeresaRehman said the two-hour program onSaturday, Sept. 11 is a chance for people tolearn more about Mohan — how she’s cop-ing with the tragic loss of a child and herefforts to see justice done for her son.

In 2009, gangster Dennis Karbovanecpleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to lifein prison with no chance of parole for15 years. Jamie Bacon, Matt Johnson,Cody Haevischer and Quang Vinh Thang

“Michael” Le have also been charged.“Her work has been quite recognized by

all levels of government,” Rehman said ofMohan. “She’s been quite outspoken aboutthere not being enough done to get thesepeople behind bars.”

In the past three years, Mohan has orga-nized a number of rallies, lobbied politi-cians of all stripes from her Surrey home-town to Victoria and Ottawa, spoken beforethe federal justice committee and talkedwith the prime minister. She has beenworking to ensure that police and inves-tigators have enough funding to combatcrime and put an end to gang violence.

“They’ve done a great job of doing that,highlighting the vicious nature of whatgangs are all about and how very tragicallythey can take innocent lives and affect thelives of other people along the way,” shesaid.

Mohan will be joined at the LivingLibrary event by Sgt. David Teboul of theIntegrated Homicide Investigation Team,who has worked on the Surrey Six casesince day one. He’ll be available to talkabout gangs and the drug problem amongyouth in Metro Vancouver.

Three years after the loss of her son,Mohan’s voice over the telephone, while

quiet and determined, is tinged with thesound of a heartbreak far from healed.

It’s painful, but Mohan speaks oftenabout what she has been through in thehopes that it never happens to another in-nocent son or another innocent family. Shehopes people attend the Living Libraryevent to tell her how the Surrey Six eventchanged their own lives.

“Looking at what happened to Chris andI, how did that change their lives and makethem realize what life is all about?”

• Living Library runs from 11 a.m. to 1p.m. Sept. 11 at the Poirier library branch.

[email protected]

Mohan ‘book’ a tragedy at Living LibraryOTHER ‘BOOKS’

Other “books” available for loanat the Sept. 11 Living Library atCPL:

• Lina Chabot, stroke survivor;• Arlene Doddy, missionary

teacher who taught in Kenya justafter the civil war in the 1960s;

• and Dr. Colin Campbell, an ex-pert on gambling addiction.

Fox’s sacrifice behind Nash’s film on Terry

By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Adocumentary co-directed byCanadian NBA star Steve Nashabout Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope

will premiere next Sunday at the TorontoInternational Film Festival.

Titled Into the Wind, the movie tells thetale of the Port Coquitlam icon’s 143-day od-yssey — in particular, his athleticism and de-termination — and its release coincides withthe 30th anniversary of Fox’s cross-countryrun to raise money for cancer research.

Besides the TIFF screening Sept. 12, theflick is also expected to be shown on TSNSept. 19, the day of the 30th annual TerryFox Run in Canada, and at the VancouverInternational Film Festival, which runsSept. 30 to Oct. 15.

Produced by ESPN Films as part of its“30 by 30” series, the movie features a num-ber of interviews, including with DougAlward, Terry’s best friend, and DarrellFox, his brother, who accompanied him onthe Marathon of Hope, as well as with Foxbiographers Leslie Scrivener and DouglasCoupland. Terry’s publicist Bill Vigars isalso interviewed for the hour-long biopic.

Nash, a Victoria native who plays pointguard for the Phoenix Suns, was unavailablefor comment on his filmmaking debut butin a press release said: “I remember being asix-year-old boy and waking up every morn-ing and rushing to the TV to see where Terrywas that day. To see his face hiding the painand to hear his words disguising the sacri-fice was as motivating and as educational an

experience asI’ve ever had.”

Earlier thisweek, Alwardtold The Tri-City News herecently sawa rough cut ofthe documen-tary and was impressed but he wondered whyNash didn’t make an appearance in the filmeven though he conducted all the interviews.

“You never see his face. You never hearhim asking the questions,” said Alward, whowas filmed at the Terry Fox Foundation BC/Yukon branch office on Shaughnessy Streetin Port Coquitlam. “I was surprised consider-ing all the people he interviewed like [TorontoRaptors coach] Jay Triano, [former Foxteacher] Bob McGill, Betty Fox... And I wassurprised how much footage he gave me.”

• To view the trailer for Into the Wind,ddvisit tiff.net/filmsandschedules/tiff/2010/intothewind. Tickets for the VancouverInternational Film Festival are availableafter Sept. 10 at viff.org.

• The Tri-City News is running a series ofarticles in the lead-up to the 30th anniversaryof the Terry Fox Run, which will be held onSept. 19. The Tri-Cities has four runs thisyear: Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore andPort Coquitlam, Fox’s hometown.

Victoria’s Steve Nash, a two-time NBA MVP, has turned some of his attention to filmmaking with a documentary for ESPN on Terry Fox.

Hey, speedersArticles by Gary McKenna

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It may soon be harder for speeding motorists toclaim they did not know how fast they were goingwhen police pull them over in Port Coquitlam.

That’s because the city is considering installingin high-traffic areas three speed reader boards thatare designed to flash a driver’s km/h when theypass by.

The boards have already been seen in other partsof the Tri-Cities and now PoCo is launching a pilotproject to see if they will help reduce speeding.

“We are piloting this to see if in fact it doesprovide a benefit,” said Igor Zahynacz, PortCoquitlam’s director of engineering. “We couldmeasure the average speed before and after [theboards are installed].”

The speed reader boards will be installed inthree fixed locations around the city: northboundon Shaughnessy Street south of Fraser Avenue;southbound on Coast Meridian Road south of ApelDrive; and eastbound on Pitt River Road west of theCoquitlam River Bridge.

Each board costs $10,000, for a total cost of $30,000,but Zahynacz said he believes ICBC will help coversome of the expenses. The city is looking at allocat-ing $15,000 of its own funds for the pilot project.

While the boards are costly, Zahynacz said theycould work to save the city money in long-term po-licing costs.

“The alternative to the speed boards is also ex-pensive,” he said. “Police enforcement is a cost,especially if it is applied to these areas on a regularbasis.

If the pilot project is successful, Zahynacz saidit is possible the city could buy more speed readerboards and install them in various parts of the city.

Transit riders will soon be able to staya little dryer when waiting for a bus inPort Coquitlam this winter.

The city will have two new bus shel-ters as part of its agreement with thePattison Group, which maintains thestops and uses them for advertisingpurposes. The city will also receive alarger cut of the proceeds from the ad-

vertising revenue in the new five-yearagreement.

Previously, the municipality collected25% of the net share of Pattison’s ad-vertising revenue, which worked outto about $130 per shelter each month.Now, the city will receive a guaranteedmonthly minimum of $160 per shelter.

With 23 bus shelters in Port

Coquitlam, the municipality stands tomake $44,160 a year from advertising,up from an average of $32,760 per yearunder the old agreement.

The city will also be allowed to use upto 10% of available advertising spacewithin Port Coquitlam for municipalnotices and events.

Both the PMPD and Coquitlam RCMP are step-ping up enforcement around school zones to ensuredrivers are slowing down to 30 km/h. School zonesare in effect between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on schooldays, and playground zones from dawn until duskevery day.

Exceeding the speed limit through these areascan result in a fine of up to $253.

Officers will also be watching for people talkingor texting while driving — which can net you a $167ticket — and for new drivers to make sure they’reabiding by their restrictions.

They’re also enforcing various parking bylawspertaining to crosswalks and school zones to makesure people are not obstructing the views of ve-hicles around schools, van Winkel said.

Parents who stop in no-stopping areas such ascrosswalks and curves to drop off their children areactually exposing them to unnecessary risk fromapproaching traffic, he added.

But not all the onus for students’ safety is on driv-ers.

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said parentsneed to teach their children to be good pedestri-ans, passengers or drivers to stay safe. That meanspaying attention to their surroundings, followingthe rules of the road, not driving aggressively andrespecting the road conditions, and always bucklingup.

“And truly, the best way to teach them is by set-ting a good example,” Paquet said.

The BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation is warningparents that most child pedestrian-related injuriesoccur in September and October, with kids aged fiveto 14 years at greatest risk for fatalities.

When young pedestrians are injured or killed,the group added, it’s most often while crossing at anintersection or running on to the road.

Talking or texting on cell phones while crossinga street increases a child’s risk of being hit by avehicle by up to a third, said Linda Lawlor, the foun-dation’s school safety co-ordinator.

The biggest risk to kids, however, continues tobe parents who make U-turns, stop in no-stoppingzones, back up into crosswalks, roll through stopsigns, ignore school safety patrollers and let theirchildren out from the driver’s side into oncomingtraffic.

The foundation suggests kids should walk orcycle to and from school to be safer.

Police are urging drivers to be extra careful in school zones and around school buses starting next week.

Kids willwant this ticket

Kids may wantto look out forCoquitlam RCMP of-ficers, especially ifthey’re staying outof trouble.

Police will be is-suing “positive tick-ets” to young peopleto reinforce the ideathat obeying the lawand making smartdecisions is a goodthing, said Cpl. BertPaquet.

“We’re supportinggood behaviour,” hesaid. “Essentially,our officers are en-couraged to look forkids doing thingsright and acknowl-edge the behaviourby handing out posi-tive tickets.”

The coupons areprovided by bothCoquitlam and PortCoquitlam recre-ation facilities forfree swims, skatesand gym drop-ins.

Paquet said theprogram is popularwith young peopleand helps generatea positive image ofpolice officers as wellas healthy lifestylehabits.

“As officers, wewant the kids toknow that we areapproachable,” headded. “We wantthem to know thatwe are a resource inthe community andthat we are here toensure their safety.”

The positive ticketprogram was in-troduced in spring2008 as part of theCoquitlam RCMP’syouth strategy, whichaims to strengthenthe relationship be-tween police andyouth through posi-tive interactions.Officers use the posi-tive tickets to breakthe ice with youth, is-suing them to youngpeople wearing hel-mets while cyclingor those who donprotective gear whileskateboarding.

Up to $253 speed fines

Traffic safety advicePolice offered several school traffic safety

tips for motorists and families:

FOR DRIVERS• Slow down in or near school and residen-

tial areas, and be prepared to stop at markedcrosswalks.

• Scan between parked cars for signs thatchildren could dart into the road.

• Use extra caution in bad weather.• Always stop for school buses when their

red lights are flashing for loading and unload-ing.

• Expect the unexpected.

FOR FAMILIES• Walking car pools and buddies are great

ways to get to school.• Establish safe routes to and from school

with sidewalks, light-controlled crosswalksand away from wooded areas with little activ-ity.

• Use helmets, bright clothing and reflectivestrips when bike riding.

• Make kids wear light-coloured or reflectiveclothing so they’re visible to drivers, and en-sure they make eye contact with drivers beforestepping into an intersection.

• Don’t use cell phones while crossing thestreet.

The sales tax oppo-nents are firming uptheir targets for recalland, according to leadorganizer and PortCoquitlam residentChris Delaney, PortMoody-Coquitlam MLAIain Black may be onthe list.

Fight HST is launch-ing the recall campaignfollowing a successfulanti-tax petition, whichunder the Initiative Act,garnered enough signa-tures to force a vote inthe legislature or putthe issue to a provincialreferendum. But the leg-islation does not specifya timeframe in whichthe province must acton the initiative, whichmeans a recall cam-paign is necessary toforce the government’shand, Delaney said.

“We had some good,strong ridings with thepetition that we arelooking at,” Delaneysaid. “Iain Black couldbe a target as well.”

But if attempts weremade to recall Black,who is also the ministerof small business, tech-nology and economicdevelopment, the cam-paign would not startfor several months.

Delaney said FightHST organizers wantto launch the campaignin three rural ridings,followed with the addi-tion of one riding permonth. The campaignwill continue, he added,until the government ei-ther repeals the tax orloses power.

Black won his rid-ing with 9,979 votes,followed by NDP candi-dates Shannon Watkins,who took 7,614 andGreen Party candidateRebecca Helps, whogarnered 1,261 votes.

During the anti-HST pet i t ion5,917 signatureswere validatedby Elections BCopposing the tax.

W h e n c o n -tacted by TheTri-City News,Black said it was thefirst he had heard hewas being consideredfor recall.

“I am certainly notdismissive of it,” hesaid. “It is one of thosethings where I will crossthat bridge when I come

to it.”Black was crit-

ical of his owngovernment’s ef-forts to explainthe HST to vot-ers. He said hewill spend a fallmeeting with

small business peopleand engaging the publicin order to improve theunderstanding of thetax, which he called a“political football.”

“There is no questionthat this has been anabysmal communica-

tions exercise in termsof how the HST cameabout,” he said. “Weclearly have to do bet-ter.”

The government’smain focus going intothe fall, Black added,was on maintainingand improving the jobssituation and makingsure B.C. had a strongeconomy.

But if he were tar-geted by the Fight HSTrecall campaign, Blacksaid he and his support-ers would be ready.

“If there was a formaloverture made to recallIain Black there wouldbe a very, very spiritedresponse on the part ofmy team, who worked sohard to get me elected,”he said.

The City of Port Coquitlam has received an application to amend its Offi cial Community Plan in respect to 21 acres of land in the

Dominion Triangle. The subject land assembly is on the south side of Dominion Avenue, between the proposed alignment of the Fremont Connector and the Natural Park and Wildlife Reserve along

the Pitt River.

The land is now designated “Light Industrial” permitting clean, business industrial uses.

The Dominion Triangle Land Partnership has applied to change the designation of the 21 acres from “Light Industrial” to “Apartment Residential”. This would provide for the rezoning of the land to allow for approximately 650 townhouse, apartment and live/work residential units.

The Open House will be held:

Thursday, September 9, 20105:30 to 8:30 pm(presentation at 6:30 pm)

Location:

The Outlet, Work Room#2100 – 2253 Leigh SquarePort Coquitlam

Allow me to clarify something rightup front: In the bigger picture, I don’thave an issue with cleavage. In fact, I

quite appreciate it.Except when it involves tweenie/teenie

girls, and particularly in terms of school at-tire. Then I have major issues.

Hence, the marching orders issued to mydear daughter prior to the back-to-schoolshopping mission last weekend:

Yo, no cleavage!Not that she is a proponent of that. It’s just

that, as she earnestly explained, it’s not easy

to find fashionable clothing for her age thatdoesn’t reveal more than what ought to beconsidered appropriate for the classroom.

And she was quite correct in observing thather clothing is conservative in comparison towhat some girls are wearing at the age of 13.

Yikes, parents!Did you check out your daughter before

she stalked out the door in her dark eyemake-up, push-up bra, low-cut top and four-inch heels?

And school principals and teachers, whereare you?

How do these mini-Britney Spears makeit past the front door of the school, let alonethrough a full day of classes without beingtrotted down to the office and reunited witha parent who can take them home to change?

I thought most public schools had cloth-ing rules. You know, the three B’s: no boobs,bellies or butts. I question the wide latitudethat seems to be given to this policy in someschools, by some administrators.

And again, I question the values of par-ents who seem to think it quite fine thattheir daughters look like little fleshpots.

Is it just cute as all git-out that she lookslike a music video pop tart? Except, there’sno pop ... just tart.

Honestly, I find this quite dismaying.What are we doing as a society, allowing

the sexed-up mass-marketing machines toslime their way down to our kids, youngerand younger by the decade?

What are we communicating to ourtweens and teens by buying them clothing —for school no less — that professional adultwomen wouldn’t think of wearing to theoffice? (OK, maybe some might. But if so,what’s that saying to their children?)

On the other side of the equation, whatmessage is this provocative female fashionsending to boys? If it walks like a duck, andit looks like a duck...

Mind you, with those bagged-out clownpants, it’s the guys walking like ducks.

(Hint to boys: Look in the mirror beforeleaving your room).

But back to the topic at hand. Haven’twomen fought long and hard to gain equal-ity, particularly in terms of being regardedin the workplace as equals to their malecounterparts? Shouldn’t that start in theschool environment, where girls are socially,academically and athletically on even foot-ing with boys, instead of being chicklet eyecandy?

Would you rather have the guys trying tosneak a peek at your daughter’s exam an-swers or her chest? (Either way, it’s classifiedmaterial, lads.)

And so, you may ask, how did the afore-mentioned school clothes shopping expedi-tion fare? She’ll pass pre-house-departureinspection.

As it should be, and I’m proud of it.

Taking a toll WHAT WE THINK:

Tolls will be coming earlier than expected on thenew Port Mann Bridge and some people arewondering whether drivers are getting gouged.

The $3 tolls are expected to come into effect in 2012,when only eight of 10 lanes will be finished, and thosewithout transponders who fail to pay the fee within 48hours can add another $2.30 for the crossing privilege.

These tolls seem steep but, in fact, they cover thecosts of construction and operation of the expandedroad system, including photographing licence platesand mailing out bills to people. There’s no such thingas cheap transportation and we’ve been spoiled untilnow.

If traffic flows more smoothly and transit acrossthe bridge, as promised, is improved so people don’thave to rely on their cars, then the expenditure willbe worth it.

But make no mistake, tolling the region’s most im-portant bridge will be a hassle, especially at first, aspeople get used to the change.

Qthethe THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Will you alter your routes toavoid paying tolls on the new Port Mann bridge when it opens?

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:Will a new fingerprinting policykeep you from volunteering fora sports team or other child-oriented organization?

FACE TO FACE: Should action be taken to increase the number of female politicians?

TERRY O’NEILL MARY WOO SIMS

We have become so used toWWassociating the word “pro-WWactive” with positive actionWWthat we often fail to realize that noteverything that is proactive is good.

On the one hand, it is certainlygood to be proactive — that is, act-ing in advance to deal with an ex-pected difficulty — when it comes todetecting cancer.

On the other hand, it is definitelynot good to be proactive when pon-dering the logistical difficulties ofexpelling from their homeland anethnic group one happens to hate.

In other words, the nature of theobject about which one is being pro-active is the crucial thing, not themere act of proactivity.

And so we come to my colleague’scall to be “proactive” to ensurethat equal numbers of womenand men take their places in thegoverning bodies of our land. Forsome reason, which I am sure shewill attempt to explain, the voiceover there does not believe that freechoice should be the overridingprinciple our country embraceswhen electing councillors, MLAsand MPs.

More precisely, she does not be-lieve that freely made individualdecisions by women and menshould be the prime factor when it

comes to choosing to run for office,nominating candidates or electingpoliticians.

She would prefer some sort of“proactive” procedure, which, byits very definition, would subvertthe democratic process. Apparently,she wants to ensure that, at the veryleast, equal numbers of male andfemale candidates are presented tothe voters — even though interestedmembers of one of the sexes mayvastly outnumber those of the othersex.

One has to wonder whether, ifmy colleague is successful in thislittle crusade of hers, she will thencall for “proactive” measures toensure that a certain percentageof candidates are heterosexual,homosexual, monotheistic, wiccanor whatever.

After all, why stop at gender? Ifthe nature of one’s genitalia is soimportant, then surely the charac-ter of one’s sexual preferences andthe substance of one’s religiousbeliefs are as well.

But of course, throughout allof this, true democracy would beeroded, if not destroyed. The bot-tom line is that pursuit of the ques-tionable goal of “gender equality”does not justify such destructiveaction.

We lag behind smaller nations

Democracy would be hurt

IN QUOTES

“If the nature of one’s genitalia is so im-portant, then surely the character of one’s sexual preferences and the substance of one’s religious beliefs are as well.”Terry O’Neill

vs.“Canada‘s record inthis regard is sad even though there is consti-tutional entrenchment of women’s equality.”Mary Woo Sims

As I write this column, al-most three weeks after theAustralian federal election,

while it is certain that there will bea minority government it is uncer-tain who will lead that government.After the initial euphoria of JuliaGillard, Australia’s first femaleprime minister, taking office andtalk about how far Australians havecome in having their first femalenational leader, Australians haveyet to elect their first female primeminister. For those who haven’tbeen following Australian politics,Gillard took over as PM after oust-ing Kevin Rudd from office.

That situation reminded me ofKim Campbell, Canada’s one andonly female prime minister and ofthe difficulties women face whenrunning for politics.

Sure, both Gillard and Campbelltook over leadership when theirrespective parties were down inthe polls but I pondered with mycolleague opposite why it is that inthe west or developed nations wefail to elect women leaders while, incountries where the west maintainswomen are still struggling for basichuman rights, women leaders areelected and re-elected.

As of July 2010, of the 17 femaleworld leaders, of those elected, de-

veloping nations match developednations in electing female leaders.For example, India and Liberia havefemale presidents and Bangladeshand Trinidad and Tobago have fe-male prime ministers.

I acknowledge women politi-cians in developing and developednations face different obstacles buteven in countries such as Australia,Canada and the United States,where women enjoy fundamentalfreedoms and equal opportunity,women find it hard to be elected.

Canada‘s record in this regardis sad even though there is consti-tutional entrenchment of women’sequality. Data available through theInternational Parliamentary Union,the international organization ofparliaments, Rwanda ranks firstamong nations, with 56.3% of itsparliament represented by women.Canada is 51st, with 22.1% femaleparliamentarians.

I think it is time for Canada’spolitical parties and Canadians tomove beyond rhetoric. Indonesiahas recently passed legislation set-ting a quota for women to make up30% of political candidates.

Should Canada consider similarmeasures? I think so.

Action is needed, not just rheto-ric.

THE

TRI-CITY NEWSYour source for the most accurate, relevant,

community news.

The Editor,Adrian Raeside’s edito-

rial cartoon in the Aug.25 edition of The Tri-CityNews expresses two popu-slar but false beliefs.

1. Belief: The Tamilswho arrived on the MVSun Sea acted illegally.

Reality: A quick searchon the Citizenship andImmigration page of theGovernment of Canadawebsite finds this state-ment: “You can make aclaim when you arrivein Canada, at the port ofentry. This could be atan airport, a seaport or aCanada-United States bor-der crossing. At ports ofentry, claims are receivedby officers of the CanadaBorder Services Agency.”

There is nothing il-legal about arriving inCanada and making arefugee claim. The claimmay be denied but untilsuch a time, Canada is

bound by the 1951 RefugeeConvention. It is wrong tolabel the Tamils as “mi-grants” instead of refu-gees unless their claimshave been denied, follow-ing proper investigation.

2. Belief: Refugeesare “jumping the queue”ahead of “legitimate” im-migrants, such as the nice

clean-cut Caucasian fam-ily depicted by the artist.

Reality: Refugees donot take the place of im-migrants; they are pro-cessed under a differentprogram. The govern-ment sets annual targetsfor immigrants it willaccept. Refugees, on theother hand, are under

the protection of the 1951Convention.

On a humanitariannote, consider what itwould take for any ofus to sell all our belong-ings, go deeply into debtand spend three to fourmonths on a rusty boatto go to a strange countryhalfway around the world.How bad are the lives theyleft behind if this is pref-erable to staying?

It is most unfortunatethat a minister of the fed-eral government was lead-ing the charge in whippingup fear and mistrust by la-belling the Tamils as “ter-rorists” without any inves-tigation or shred of evi-dence. It is equally unfor-tunate that the media usetheir power to reinforcepopular but erroneous be-liefs instead of providingfactual information.Hanne Gidora,Coquitlam

The Editor,Re. “We must plan for

transit, too” (Letters, TheTri-City News, Sept. 1).

Letter writer M. Schooff,responding to the edito-rial, “Don’t retread roadproblems,” requires a re-sponse. First, Highway1/Port Mann is a provin-cial government project,not TransLink; however,TransLink has worked asa partner with the prov-ince to include transit-onlylanes and bus rapid tran-sit along the Highway 1/Port Mann corridor. Thiswill provide a viable alter-native for the people thewriter is concerned about,who have had to move fur-ther away from downtownVancouver to find afford-able homes.

The launch of the #595Langley Centre/HaneyPlace bus route, concur-rent with the opening ofthe Golden Ears Bridgein summer 2009, pro-

vides access from southof the river to West CoastExpress. Capacity on thattrain service is increasingthis fall as seven new rail-cars come into service.

The “curbs” on furthertransit growth M. Schooffmentions are financial.TransLink’s mayors’council approved fundingto sustain our current ser-vices, which is a great out-come compared to the cut-backs underway in many

major North Americancities. But it must also benoted that the service lev-els we’re now maintain-ing were the culminationof six years of aggressiveexpansion; further, theexperience in moving 1.6million trips per day dur-ing the Winter Olympicsshowed us there is plentyof unused capacity.

We agree the issue ofpublic restrooms needsto take its place in the

range of things TransLinkshould consider to maketransit attractive. To date,though, what we’ve heardfrom the public is to makemaintaining and expand-ing the people-movingcapability of our systemthe top priority. Cleaning,maintaining and securingpublic restrooms is a costlyexercise, and one we’ve notbeen able to rationalizeinto a limited budget.Drew Snider, TransLink

CoquitlamTown Hall and PublicBudget Meeting

The Stevenson Streethomeowner has sinceagreed to remove theplum tree, he said.

“This is somethingthat’s chronic at thistime of year,” Myroniuksaid. “Certainly, garbageis a year-round thing butwhen the fruit becomesripe... the bears quiteoften will switch.

“We try to get the mes-sage out for people topick their fruit before itsripe but obviously theywant it to ripen so it’s areal challenge for us.

“It’s also a challengefor the bears because it’svery close to what a nat-ural food source wouldbe,” he said. “You can’treally blame them.”

He urges residentswho live near ravinesand wildlife corridors tocut down their fruit trees,especially for the safetyof the neighbourhood.

Unlike other MetroVancouver communi-ties, Coquitlam, PortCoquitlam and PortMoody city halls haveyet to issue fines to resi-dents attracting bears.Penalties are levied inaccordance with solidwaste bylaws to offend-ers who put out theirwaste bins early on col-lection days.

Rather than hittingresidents in the pocketbook, staff say the citieshave taken on educa-tional drives this sum-mer. In the Chinesiden e i g h b o u r h o o d o fCoquitlam, letters weredelivered to 2,500 homesin August to remind

owners of the bylaw. Andrepeat violators recentlyhad a knock on the doorfrom Drake Stephens,Coquitlam’s bear awareco-ordinator.

Dan Scoones, PoCo’smanager of bylaw ser-vices, said his staff havedone evening patrols onthe north side over thepast two weeks and com-piled a list of offendinghomes, saying, “Finesare pending.”

In Port Moody, the citymailed letters to 3,518homes in the Wednesdayand Thursday pick-upzones explaining the useof the new garbage cartswith bear clips, said cityspokesperson LeslynJohnson.

People are asked to:• keep garbage inside;• compost responsibly;• pick fruit and berries

from trees;

• store pet food in-doors;

• secure bird feeders;• and keep their barbe-

cues clean.To contact Coquitlam’s

Bear Aware program,call 604-927-6317. To re-port an aggressive bear,call the conservation of-fice at [email protected]

Labour movement and United WWay,partners in social changeEvery year, thousands of volunteers, donorsand organizations join together to supportUnited Way and improve lives throughout theLower Mainland.

Unions and United Way are partners in socialchange. Solutions to community issues can onlybe reached through partnership.

For example, local labour councils and UnitedWay of the Lower Mainland work closely to-gether. Labour representatives also serve onUnited Way’s board and campaign cabinet.

The majority of United Way campaign dol-lars come from individual workers donatingthrough workplace campaigns. Some corporatedonations are tied dollar for dollar to employeecontributions. Many workplace donations comefrom union members. Funds stay in the commu-nities workers live in.

Said Mervyn Van Steinburg, Director of theCLC Labour Participation Department UnitedWay of the Lower Mainland, “At the end of theday, the community will be healthier for work-ers and their families because United Way andlabour are working in partnership.”

It’s a partnership that helps United Way to actin a focused way to prevent problems and createlasting solutions for people.

It involves:

• Understanding social issues througgh researchand dialogue

• Bringing together partners and cooordinatingaction

• Influencing public attitudes, systemms and pol-icy

• Measuring community change and evaluatinginvestments.

Whether it’s for children, seniors, immmigrants,or those at risk of homelessness, UUnited Waytakes a planned and researched apprroach to in-vesting community resources.

Guided by groundbreaking researchh and com-munity input, United Way, in partneership withthe labour movement, is focusing eextra atten-tion and resources on priority areass to providehope and opportunity for children annd seniors.

In good times and bad, United Way is there toprotect the vulnerable and prevent ssocial prob-lems. United Way invests in youngg children,particularly those at risk; helps oldeer childrenmake the right choices; and strengthhens the in-dependence of seniors.

LABOUR DAYGREETINGS

to all working people

and theirfamilies in theTri-City Area

Fighting for a day of rest...With a bit of luck and some help from

Mother Nature, the first Monday ofSeptember will give you another opportunityto soak up some sunshine under the dyingrays of the summer sun. This is what makesLabour Day such a special holiday for manyof us.

S ince the t ime when we wereschoolchildren, the first weekend ofSeptember has been synonymous with restand relaxation before the start of the newschool year. This tradition was establisheda very long time ago, but how many of usreally know its origins?

In actual fact, the origins of Labour Daygo back to May 1, 1886, in the UnitedStates, when a big American workers uniondecided to organize a one-day strike in orderto obtain concessions from their employers,including an eight-hour workday. At thetime, working conditions were terrible andthe only day of rest was Sunday.Because the owners did notwant to cave in to the workers demands, the demonstrations

degenerated into battles between the strikersand the police. Two days later, severalpolicemen were killed by a homemade bombduring a public meeting. The leaders of theprotesters were hung, enflaming workers determination to continue the fight. InSeptember 1894, another demonstrationresulted in several deaths when the armywas ordered to restore the peace. As a way of obtaining at least some kind of forgivenessfrom working class Americans, theAmerican president at the time, Grover Cleveland, signed a new law allowing workers to have one day of paid holiday on the first Monday of September. And this is how LabourDay was born.

This year, you will once again enjoy a public holiday thanks to the determination of those courageous workers. They deserve to be remembered by all of us.

By Tom FletcherBLACK PRESS

VICTORIA – A brief-ing document was writ-ten for Finance MinisterColin Hansen exactlytwo months before the2009 B.C. election to pre-pare him for questionson Ontario’s decision tosign on to the harmo-nized sales tax.

That briefing note andother government docu-ments obtained underfreedom of informationlegislation detail whatwould emerge a fewmonths later as B.C.’sown HST: an exemptionfor lower priced newhomes and low-incomeearners, and a 12% com-bined sales tax rate thatcould make it “revenueneutral” to the province.

H a n s e n s a i dWednesday he doesn’tremember getting thebriefing paper. Hansenreiterated that the sweet-ened terms of Ontario’sHST deal only becameclear to him in late May,when he read a similarbriefing paper on a planeto Ottawa for a financeministers’ conference.

“To be honest, I don’thave any recollection ofit,” Hansen said. “I knowthat it would have cometo my desk about March

24. I would have takena cursory look at it, butin the context of wherewe were at right then,which was basically theeve of the election, andwe were at the end ofthe legislative session.And quite frankly if it issomething we had beencontemplating, I wouldhave paid a lot more at-tention to that briefing

note than I did.”That briefing note,

and another preparedfor Premier GordonCampbell in January2009, warns of the shiftin tax burden from busi-nesses to individuals.B.C. officials also citeda report from the C.D.Howe Institute that saysimposing the HST couldreduce economic output

and employment for fiveyears or more beforeshowing improvement.

Hansen said thatstudy was based on pre-vious provincial dealsfor the HST, without thetransition funding or theflexibility to lower therate and adjust it aftertwo years.

NDP leader Carole James saidCampbell and Hansen repeatedlytold the public the HST was “not onour radar” before the election, butthe documents show ongoing interestat the staff level as Ontario movedahead in early 2009.

“It’s ridiculous, it’s worse than ‘thedog ate my homework,’” James said.“He didn’t read his documents, hewasn’t paying attention to them, hewasn’t thorough about looking at thedocuments on the HST?”

James added that Hansen andCampbell were asked repeatedly inthe legislature if there were staff dis-cussions or briefing notes on the HSTbefore the election, and they repliedthat there were none.

Hansen said he and Campbell metwith deputy finance minister GrahamWhitmarsh on May 14, two days afterthe election, and it was then they weretold provincial revenues were downan additional $1.5 billion.

Told to review options for meeting

the pre-election budget targets, minis-try staff came back with proposed taxhikes, spending cuts and the federaloffer to pay $1.6 billion in transitionfunds for adopting the HST, Hansensaid.

“That was the first time that actu-ally got our attention,” Hansen said,adding that it led to cabinet’s decisionin July 2009 to go ahead with the tax.

What’s your plan for your life?

Awise king wroteabout how we,as parents, can

influence our sons anddaughters toward apurposeful adulthood.Direct your childrenonto the right path and,when they are older,they will not leave it.

I’m a planner bynature. I’ve had a seven-year plan for as long asI can remember, I alsohave a yearly plan, sea-sonal plan, monthly andweekly plan and a dailyplan.

But planning will notbe the focus of these col-umns. Plans change andshould be fluid through-out life. I learned toplan in college andremember one of my as-signments before gradu-ation was to formulate a

10-year plan.I was so proud of my

plan that I posted it upon my bedroom wall asa decoration.

Everything wentalong fine, accordingto the plan, for the firstcouple of months. Aftergraduation, Susan and Iboth had jobs. We knewwhat our combinedincome and expenseswould be for the nextcouple of years. We hada lovely suite that wewere renting for a setprice.

As I said, it was allgood and was runningaccording to plan —until we found out thatwe were going to haveour first baby. Talkabout change.

Susan quit her jobwhen Kelly was bornand we decided that shewould be a stay-at-homemom for the next 16years.

That was a wonder-ful decision for our twochildren but it put ahuge hole in my finelytuned 10-year plan.

King Solomon wiselywrote as advice to hissons, “We can make our

plans, but the Lord de-termines our steps.”

A good place to starthelping your teenagersfind their life purposeis to help them write alife mission. I’ve seenmission statements thatwere 500 words longand I’ve seen them thatwere only two or threesentences. The missionstatement to which I’mreferring should bealong the line of Jesus’model.

Jesus’ mission state-ment was first writtenby the prophet Isaiahabout 700years be-fore He waseven bornbut Jesuspicked upon it beforeHe beganHis three-and-a-halfyear ministry at 30years of age.

It goes like this: “Hehas anointed me tobring Good News to thepoor. He has sent me toproclaim that captiveswill be released, thatthe blind will see, thatthe oppressed will be setfree, and that the time

of the Lord’s favour hascome.”

You’ll notice that inHis mission statement,Jesus recognized Hewas anointed for thetask ahead.

That means that Heunderstood that he hadnot arrived at the placein His life where he wasby accident. He was onassignment from HisKing.

I like that.Our children, like

Jesus, you and I are nothere by accident. Theyhave been created by

God at thistime, wereborn intoyour familywith thegifts, tem-perament,personality

bilities thatthey have by design.Although Jesus had

a pretty good idea whatHe was there to do, Hismission statement hadmore to do with His calland general life purposerather than his distinc-tive job description. Hewas going to announcethat the kingdom of

God was here but didn’tsay where, when, inwhat venue, to what au-dience or how. He wasgoing to generally setpeople free from oppres-sion, help them see lifeclearly and lift up thosewho had been steppedon by life. But He couldhave done that job whileserving as a carpenter,policeman, politician,businessman or pastor.

Our life mission canbe fulfilled within theparameters of a widevariety of job descrip-tions.

Next week I’ll writeabout values that setguard-rails for our lifepath.

VVOLUNTEERFESOLUNTEERFESTT

The annualTreefest is justaround the

corner (Sunday, Sept.12) on the grounds ofCoquitlam’s RiverviewHospital and it is not tobe missed.

This year, theTreefest theme is heri-tage and you will findthe hospital groundsoffer much to discoverabout Coquitlam’s his-tory. It is a location thatprovides a unique andsignificant window onthe city.

Our heritage is notjust about museums,interiors and artifacts.Our heritage is alsoreflected in our outdoorspaces, both natural anddeveloped.

The Norwegianshave recognized thisfact very well and havedeveloped marvellousopen-air museums, suchas those in Oslo andLillehammer, featuringwhole townsites thathave been recreated toshow the place, the timeand the society thatlived in those towns.

While not nearly asold, we are fortunate tohave our Riverview site— with no re-creationrequired. It is therefor us to view as it was

planned, a completeintegration of build-ings, function, trees andlandscape.

There are morethan 1,900 trees onthe Riverview site —western Canada’s firsttrue botanical garden.In 1911, our first pro-vincial botanist, JohnDavidson, was hiredto oversee the develop-ment of this garden.It was to become thethird such endeavour inCanada and served asa model for the designof other gardens inCanada and as well asthe starting point forthe botanical gardenat the University ofBritish Columbia.

The Old Arboretumon the Riverview site(the present groupingof landscape resources)is the result of a plant-ing design developed toinclude specimen trees

from temperate zonesaround the world. Thelandscape design is rem-iniscent of a country es-tate. The plantings havematured into what hasbecome a magnificentpark with outstandingeducational value. TheSept. 12 Treefest pro-vides the public witha special opportunityto take a tour of thegrounds and trees tolearn all about it.

The development ofthe arboretum is animportant element ofCoquitlam’s heritagebut the rich heritagevalue of the site doesnot stop at the trees.The five main buildingsrepresent a noteworthyinstitutional complexof significant histori-cal value. They are aunique and interestinggrouping of structuresthat displays a remark-able consistency in

scale and materials.Donald Luxton, a localheritage consultant andrecognized expert, willbe conducting a touraround the buildingsand offering his viewson their special histori-cal significance.

Of course, the sitewas developed as a hos-pital that specializedin mental health. Thelandscaping and archi-tecture were aimed atsupporting this funda-mental function. Theintent was to createan harmonious, thera-peutic environment tonourish the well-beingand the recovery ofits residents, to fostermental health. This is asetting with a purposeand history that extendsbeyond the simple aes-thetic pleasures of thegrounds.

Interested? Want tolearn more about yourlocal history and thespecial place Riverviewhas in that history.Mark the date: Sunday,Sept. 12 from 11 a.m. to4 p.m.. Here are some ofthe highlights:

• Tree tours: The pop-ular tree tours highlightsome of the more than1,900 trees on the siteand run hourly from

11 a.m. to 3 p.m., leav-ing from near the HEYbuilding.

• Heritage buildingwalk: 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.with Don Luxton, ar-chitect and member ofthe Vancouver HeritageSociety, who knows thegrounds well. It will in-clude walking and com-mentary about the mainheritage buildings,

although entry into thebuildings will not bepossible.

• Children’s tree walk:12:30 p.m., leaving fromnear the HEY building.

• Heritage panel: 1to 2 p.m. is the LivingHeritage Panel, wherelocal community mem-bers share their histori-cal stories and reflec-tions of Riverview.

BUNTZEN LAKE RECBUNTZEN LAKE RECRREATION SITE:EATION SITE:PARKING GUIDELINESBuntzen Lake is one of the most popular BC Hydro recreation sites in the province. We encourage the public to enjoy the area, and be familiar with the parking policies.They’re in place to ensure public safety and emergency access.

Why does BC Hydro limit parking access?BC Hydro limits visitor parking to ensure emergency vehicles have access to thesite. Long line-ups can block Sunnyside Road in Anmore and access to the SasamatVolunteer Fire Hall.

In cooperation with the Coquitlam RCMP who have policing authority for the area,BC Hydro does not permit line-ups outside the gate because the line-ups impact emergency access.

What is the policy?Once the parking lot is full, the gate is closed until enough spaces are available to handle visitor capacity for the rest of the day. Parking lots may have a number of spacesavailable while the gates are still closed. Other non-BC Hydro regional parks in theLower Mainland have similar policies.

Why can’t the public drop-off and pick-up people inside the gate?Drop-offs and pick-ups also cause line-ups, preventing emergency access to the park. Public safety is a priority for BC Hydro.

Although Buntzen Lake has close to 600 parking spaces, BC Hydro encourages visitorsto arrive early. Parking is on a first-come basis only. No re-entry is permitted.

Visitors are reminded that footpath access to South Beach is 2.3 kilometres.

Six Tri-City air cadets flew home with awards and pilot licences last month after gradu-ating from summer training camps. Rosie Suh, of 754 Phoenix Squadron in Port Moody, won the title of top cadet for having the best drill, dress, deportment and teamwork skills from among 28 of her peers on the general training course. She was also ap-pointed commander of her flight, the top position a course cadet can hold on a gradu-ation parade. Meanwhile, Felix Serban, 18, of 777 Neptune RCACS in Port Coquitlam, graduated with his wings at a parade at the Regional Gliding School in Comox. Port Moody’s Stephanie Wong earned the service band top cadet accolade as well as the ANAVETS medal for her service, leadership and musicianship while on course. Wong, of 754 Phoenix Squadron in PoMo, is one 79 cadets in Canada to receive the medal this year. And PoMo air cadets (left to right) Ron Gorodetsky, Albert Ho and Ryan Langrana captured their pilot licences in Comox.

How does the process How does the process work?work?

There are times when government bodies need land for public purposes. The government body proposing to take the land normally makes an offer to the landowner to buy all or part of the land. When the government and the landowner cannot agree upon a price, the government has the right, under the Expropriation Act, to serve an expropriation notice on the owner and take the land without the owner’s consent.

How is the land valued How is the land valued after it’s expropriated?after it’s expropriated?

The law says the landowner is entitled to “economic reinstatement” as compensation for the expropriated land. Most commonly, it is assessed as

the market value, which is based on what a prudent and willing seller dealing with a similar buyer would agree on. In many cases, as well, owners are entitled to damages for the disturbance to the use of their land. This is based on the economic loss suffered by the owner by virtue of having to vacate the expropriated land.

In addition, sometimes landowners are entitled to compensation for what is known as “injurious affection”. That is when only a portion of an owner’s land is taken but the remaining land is negatively affected by the expropriation.

When it camedown to the Crunch, Bellraised $1,000Tri-City man aims to make assaulton popular trail an annual event

Twelve hours plus 45 km and a total elevationgain of 2,500 m equalled more than $1,000 for Tri-City resident Alexander Bell’s charity hike-athon.

Bell achieved his goal of doing the CoquitlamCrunch 10 times, with the proceeds going to create anendowment fund for the Coquitlam Foundation. Themoney will be used to support community grants forplanning diversity initiatives.

The event was the first in what Bell hopes willbecome an annual happening — the CoquitlamCrunch Challenge: Embracing Diversity — andhe has set a goal of raising $10,000 in the next fouryears.

Bell started his run at 6:07 a.m. and by 3:30 p.m.,he had made eight trips up the trail and was tiredand sore. But he was able to push for two more lapsup and completed his goal of 10 passes at 5:55 p.m.

Bell said it was encouraging to see people joinhim in his effort, with many people following himfor several of his trips up the hill.

While donations are still trickling in from the2010 event, he added that planning for the 2011 chal-lenge is already underway.

The Coquitlam Crunch is the Tri-Cities’ answerto the Grouse Grind. The trail roughly follows theroute of the BC Hydro right of way from ScottCreek middle school up to Westwood Plateau.

The idea for Bell’s challenge came from his wife,who works for the Coquitlam Foundation, the or-ganization that stands to benefit from Bell’s efforts.He had heard of a person who climbed the GrouseGrind 14 times in a day for charity; Bell’s final ideaon how to raise money for the foundation’s plan tostart a diversity initiative fund came together whilehiking the local trail.

Be smart while you’rebeing compassionate

The Better Business Bureau iswarning British Columbians tobe aware of scams and fraudulentcharities that may emerge in theaftermath of flooding in Pakistan.

The organization, which seeksto protect consumers from fraud,said donations from well-meaningCanadians may be diverted to thewrong people.

“Whenever there is a major nat-ural disaster, be it home or abroad,you can count on the generosityof Canadians to donate time andmoney to help victims,” LyndaPasacreta, president and CEO ofthe BBB in the Lower Mainland,said in a press release. “But you

can also count on the appearanceof poorly run and, in some cases,fraudulent charities.”

The Better Business Bureauoffered several tips in order tohelp consumers avoid donating tofraudulent charities, including:

• avoiding charities that havesprung up in response to the di-saster;

• relying on expert opinionwhen it comes to evaluating chari-ties;

• reading the fine print beforedonating by text message;

• being cautious when givingonline;

• being wary of claims that 100

per cent of donations will assistrelief victims;

• and finding out if the charityhas an on-the-ground presence inthe impacted areas.

TRICIA LESLIE

Th e Fair at the PNE celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.

And the 2010 PNE Prize Home has been specially designed with celebration in mind, to honour the historical fair’s big birthday.

“Th is year, careful attention was paid to ensure the home exudes a luxuriously wel-coming atmosphere perfect for celebrating any occasion,” says PNE Prize Home interior co-ordinator Barbara Aylesworth, who is also sponsorship co-ordinator and founder of A Stroke of Genius in North Vancouver.

“Th e ease of entertainment is the overrid-ing theme – from the handsome, wrought-iron gate that separates the wine cellar from the great room to the sense of open spacious-

ness designed to encourage free-fl owing conversation.”

Th e craft sman-style home, more than 3,000 square feet, was professionally de-signed and custom-built by Britco Struc-tures. It will be relocated to the prestigious Kirschner Mountain development in Kelowna, overlooking stunning views of the Okanagan Valley and Okanagan Lake.

PNE Prize Home: dream bigIt’s beautiful inside and out. And someone has to win...

This year’s PNE Prize Home is designed with entertainment in mind, in a palette of cool blues, rich browns and accent whites. The Fair at the PNE runs till Sept. 6.

Foxridge Homes have a deserved reputa-tion, built over 60 years of building homes with which buyers fall in love.

Th ey understand a home is not just bricks and mortar, but a special place that should enhance the homeowners’ lifestyle and realize their dreams.

Th is great attention to detail is most evident in the Vista’s West project in Clo-verdale.

Th is collection of beautifully designed single-family homes has stunning val-ley and mountain views, plus 13 acres of dedicated parks and green space within the subdivision.

All Vista’s West homes off er important benefi ts the homebuyer can’t necessarily see, but are very important for the comfort of each family: R-14 insulation in walls and R-40 in the attic, and a Travelers Guarantee Company of Canada 10-year warranty, which includes two-year builder and fi ve-year water penetration coverage.

Th ere is also the knowledge a Vista’s West home has been built by a Registered Certi-fi ed Residential Builder and a company that has been in business for more than 50 years.

Every window is Low E, double-glazed vinyl warm-frame, with muntin bars on the front windows for the safety of each homeowner’s family.

Boasting three bedrooms and three bath-rooms, the home’s open-living layout also features the fundamentals of high-style, eco-luxe family living with an Old-world library, a media room with a 52-inch fl atscreen TV and a gourmet kitchen with a freestanding island.

High-quality fi nishings are standard throughout, and the home comes with a built-in sound system and home electronics feature a surveillance camera and 12-inch monitor.

Inside, cool blues, rich browns and white accents create a colour palette that is welcom-ing and relaxing, in a style that is both mod-ern and chic, yet also traditional and timeless.

“My goal was to create a nice, calm, relax-ing feeling,” Aylesworth says.

Th e idea, she says, is for the home to be welcoming for living everyday life as well as entertaining.

“I really like the open concept ... the main fl oor has 20-foot-high ceilings in the main room, but remains open to all the other areas of the home, aside from the library. I also love the colours, and how they fl ow through the entire home.”

Ayelsworth also notes the covered outdoor patio – complete with an outdoor heater, hot tub, barbecue and patio furniture (all provided by sponsors) – is perfect for year-round entertaining.

Downstairs, the great room is enhanced with an oversized fi replace surround and an incredible crystal chandelier hanging high

above it all. A charming staircase, reminiscent of those built 100 years ago in Van-

couver’s Shaughnessy and Dunbar neighbourhoods, leads guests from the main fl oor to the Juliet balcony that overlooks the great room.

Upstairs, the master bedroom features a sitting area and an

ensuite bathroom with a carrera marble tub deck and matching fl oor

tiles, a fi replace and a TV.Th ere is also an espresso coff ee-maker and

a small bar fridge, making it easy to use the

master suite as a mini-getaway.“You never really have to leave the master

suite,” Aylesworth says.“Everything you need is right there.”She also likes the fact the laundry room is

on the upstairs level.Th ere are also several eco-friendly, sustain-

able features that are not only better for the environment, but also mean better energy effi ciency and savings for the homeowner.

Terasen has provided an award-winning generator system for the house that is able to extract water from the air and transform it into fresh, healthy drinking water.

Th ere is also a high-effi ciency, quick-recovery gas-fi red water heater with unique geoexchange technology, a wide range of En-ergy Star appliances, siding made from B.C.

pine beetle wood, the lowest VOC Benjamin Moore paint, UV ray protection windows, and low-fl ow, energy-conserving plumbing fi xtures.

“Today’s homebuyers expect the best in eco-friendly technologies, so they can rest as-sured of their low environmental impact and keep energy bills low,” says Aylesworth.

Th e Grand Prize package is worth more than $1.2 million and includes a one-year housecleaning service (MiniMaid), a $2,500 grocery package (Marketplace IGA),and a one-year subscription to a daily newspaper.

Th e Fair at the PNE runs until Sept. 6 and Metro Vancouverites can view the PNE Prize Home on-site. Tickets to the PNE Prize Home lottery are fi ve for $25 or 15 for $50.

Prize Home comes with a Kelowna viewCONTINUED FROM P.1

This year’s PNE Prize Home boasts three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a great room with 20-foot ceilings, a library, a wine cellar, a media room and a master ensuite with a fi replace.

DREAMHOME


A 50-gallon hot water tank comfort-ably services the whole family’s needs and, for those chilly winter evenings, the effi cient natural-gas fi replace in the great room or family room will be welcome.

A combination heating system also contributes to home’s comfort and sav-ings with a highly effi cient natural gas furnace and zone-controlled baseboard heaters on the upper fl oor.

Th e kitchen is a dream for the inner chef in the family. Maple cabinets with brushed chrome pulls are comple-mented by fl at-edge laminate coun-tertops with full-height ceramic tile backsplashes.

Th e maple cabinets are repeated in the bathrooms. Th e master bath-room ensuite comes complete with a one-piece soaker tub and shower, and ceramic tile surrounds. All bathrooms have pressure-balanced valves in the shower heads for the homeowner’s comfort.

Each home comes with an extensive options package that allows homebuy-ers to customize their home further.

“We are unique at Foxridge, because we don’t just give our clients a choice of two or three exterior and interior fi n-ishes – we have a huge room fi lled with choices so each home is individual,” says Foxridge Homes sales and market-ing manager Diane Zarola.

“Clients pick out their exterior colours, interior paint colours and fi n-ishes and stain colours in the kitchen and bathrooms. Th ere are experts to advise, but the end result is a wonder-fully personalized home.”

Th is subdivision is almost complete, so new buyers will be moving into a family oriented, established communi-ty to begin a new chapter in their lives.

Homes are priced from $634,500.Visit www.foxridgeliving.ca for details.

• Talk to your childrenabout what they read.Ask them questions thatrequire them to readbetween the lines andthink about what theyhave just read. This willhelp improve their read-ing comprehension.

• Introduce your chil-dren to a variety of liter-ary styles and see whichone they most enjoy.

• Help your childrenget a library card andtake weekly trips withthem to the library.

INTERMEDIATE/MIDDLE STUDENTS:

• Set up a dailyhomework routine.Designate a homeworkarea away from distrac-tions like the televisionand Internet, and with

adequate lighting andsupplies.

• When it is time foryour children to dotheir homework, rein-force strong study hab-its by also doing yours:balance your cheque-book, pay your bills orimmerse yourself in abook.

Help your teen cope withthat back-to-school stress

GUEST COLUMN

Back to school is a time of householdchaos, beginning with the challengeof getting your teen up in the morn-

ing after they have spent the summergoing to bed late and sleeping in. Fightingwith your teen is the last thing you need,especially as you are trying to get yourselfto work on time.

But wait is your teen dragging his feetbecause he hasn’t had enough sleep? Or isit a result of stress?

Could teens actually be worried aboutgoing to school?

The new school year can bring with itall sorts of concerns for your teenager.

Who will be in my classes?Will I be the target of school bullies?Will I be able to handle the harder work?Will everyone think I’m dumb?Or if they are starting a new school, the

looming worry is likely to be:Will people like me? Will I make friends?Stress is the body’s reaction to a change

that requires a physical, mental or emo-tional adjustment or response. Withoutrelief, worries in response to transitionscause a build-up of internal pressure.We feel tired and may know something iswrong but often don’t know what it is.

So when you ask your teenager, “What’sthe matter?” and they sulkily reply“Nothin’,” it may not be that they reallydon’t know.

Chronic stress as a child or teenager canlead to health problems later. Recent re-search on the long-term effects of stress inchildren found that even moderate levels

of stress, if sustained over a long period,can increase our vulnerability to disease.

In fact, the negative effects may not beimmediately obvious but instead may onlyshow up many years after a child has leftthe home. Preliminary studies suggestthat an unremitting stressful family envi-ronment can impact on one’s susceptibil-ity to chronic diseases such as high bloodpressure, cardiovascular disease and autoimmune disorders.

Here are some suggestions to help youmanage the stress in your family.

• Teach your teen stress-manage-ment skills: how to take better care oftheir body through proper diet and exer-cise; how to calm themselves and sleepbetter by using controlled breathing,guided imagery and progressive musclerelaxation; how to solve problems andmake decisions; how to be more assertive.

• Set up routines: Structure can helpreduce stress and provide a sense of pre-dictability and control, especially for teen-agers who often feel very out of control.Introduce family rituals — e.g., a weeklydinner together when you can all talkabout the best and worst moments of yourweek. Plan more family activities — e.g. aday each week to do something together asa family, such as going for a hike or havinga picnic on the beach. Have regular family

meetings. Create daily schedules and listsof chores. Include your teen when decid-ing on these things so they have a chanceto express their feelings and point of view.Set boundaries; telling your teenager whenthey need to be home at night is a sign thatyou love them and care about their safety.

• Practice emotionally attuned par-enting: This involves taking a moment tothink about what is going on inside yourteenager’s emotional mind. Often, we in-advertently misinterpret our teen’s behav-iours; for example, when they run crying totheir rooms, we may think they are beingchildish or overly dramatic and ignorethem. But when you consider what theymay be feeling, you may act differently.

Much depends on how parents conductthemselves in highly charged situations.Remember, our children are emotionallydependant on us — we are their emotionalrole model and coaches for their future. Ittakes patience and practice but it’s impor-tant to take the time to sit down and talk toyour teenager, find out what they are feel-ing, then try to soothe and reassure them.

Difficult moments can be upsetting forall the family so if you are struggling tocope as a family you may want to considergetting professional help. Your family doc-tor can recommend a psychologist in yourarea to help yourself as a parent, your teen-ager or your entire family to reduce stress.

Move overHawaii, we’vegot our own

beautiful hibiscus tolight up our summergardens.

Perhaps one of themost under-used sum-mer flowering shrubis the hardy Hibiscussyriacus althaea or Roseof Sharon. It has beencultivated in Englandsince the 16th century,but it is only over thepast few years that, be-cause of today’s manynew varieties, it hasbecome a more main-stream plant.

Hardy to zone six,and possibly some highzone fives, it is one ofthe few flowering shrubsthat opens in successionfrom July through toOctober. Once the hy-drangeas finish, there isa distinct lack of gardencolour from floweringshrubs, and that’s whythese plants are so im-portant. Hibiscus aregenerally the last flower-ing shrub to show leavesin spring, but they morethan make up for it bybeing the last hurrah inthe fall garden.

Hibiscus can besomewhat difficult toget established. Theyneed full sun or justa touch of shade anda little tender loving

care to get going andto perform their best.Hibiscus grow just finein a wide variety ofwell drained soils, butthey need plenty oforganic matter to holdmoisture. They wilt eas-ily in hot weather andneed a deep wateringduring periods of longdrought. Don’t movethem around the gardenas they are not happybeing transplanted.It’s also a good ideato mulch their rootsover the first couple ofwinters to protect themfrom deep frost.

Hibiscus are mediumto large sized plants,usually sold in bushform, but they can alsobe purchased or trainedinto a handsome tree

form. Growing to about3.5 meters (12 feet), theycan easily be pruned inlate winter to conformtheir size to your gardenneeds. There are threeflower forms: largesingles, semi-double anddoubles. My favouriteis ‘Red Heart’, a largewhite single with a redeye that really shows upin the garden. ‘Diana’is a huge pure whitetriploid that remainsopen at night. ‘Minerva’is a large lavender andalmost everyone’s fa-vourite. ‘Woodbridge’is a single magentarose with a red eye.‘Bluebird’ and ‘Marina’are single blues with ared eye. In the doubleforms, ‘Ardens’ is a pur-ple and ‘Collie Mullens’

is a magenta rose with acrimson eye.

The newest seriesfrom Spring MeadowsNursery in Michigan isthe Chiffon Series fea-turing beautiful large,full semi-doubles. Theblue, lavender, whiteand pink ‘Chiffons’ arequite spectacular. Somevery innovative grow-ers are planting twocolours together in onecontainer, providing abeautiful two tone effectfor a novel addition toany garden. They arejust blooming now inmost nurseries, and it’sa great time to see allthe varieties to make achoice for your garden.Planted now, they willlight up your summergarden for years.

Coquitlam’s George Jecminek lunges to return a shot during the Hit with the Pros fundraiser tennis tournament last Sunday at the Pipeline Road courts. Jecminek is currently ranked third in B.C. in his class.

By Larry PrunerTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

After leaking buckets of goals last sea-son, the Port Moody Black Panthers needed desperately to cement their

netminding situation this campaign.Apparently they have. And they searched

the country to do it.Black Panthers general manager Ron

Luniw revealed Wednesday the team has inked Quebec import Pierre Voyer to guard the Cats’ cage for the upcoming Pacific International Jr. ‘B’ hockey league season.

The six-foot-three Voyer, 18, had a stint last season with the Quebec Major Junior League’s Drummondville Voltigeurs and is a recent transfer from the B.C. Hockey League’s Jr. ‘A’ Nanaimo Clippers. He’s ex-pected to be the No. 1 stopper on a Cats squad that coughed up an average of 4.80 goals per

game last season, second worst in the league.

“He’s good positionally and he’s dedicated,” said Luniw, who had trouble finding a goalie own-ing both those attributes the past couple PIJHL seasons. “He can play. Now it’s about the team in front of him coming to play every night.”

That, too, was a chore for the Cats last sea-son, when they finished with a bleak 11-36-1 record and were last in the 10-team PIJHL, missing the playoffs for the first time since Luniw took over as owner and GM of the then-PoCo Buckeroos 10 years ago.

The Cats’ woes last season also extended to their forward cast, as the team compiled a league-low 136 goals for in 48 regular-season games for a lowly 2.80 per game average.

Veteran head coach Ron Johnson, who

guided the Richmond Sockeyes to back-to-back Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championships in 2003 and ‘04, was brought in to replace the dismissed Marko Segovic last April.

Cats training camp attracted 42 players, including 12 incum-bents, but that number was reduced to 26 after last week.

Among the veterans expected to be in the Cats’ opening-day line-up are Justin Dorey (38 points in 46 games last season), Dean Brunato (26 in 37) and Chris Stew (26 in 42).

Luniw said three more players will be released before the team’s next pre-sea-son game Saturday when they Cats host the Grandview Steelers at PoMo Arena, 7 p.m. The Cats enter the contest with a 2-3 exhibition record, with both wins having been identical 3-2 decisions over the Ridge

Meadows Flames.Luniw believes the Cats have as good a

shot as any PIJHL squad at glory this sea-son. Case in point is the Squamish Wolfpack,the second-worst team in the loop last seasonwhich has now elected to shuttle in play-ers by bus from the minor-hockey hotbedNorth Vancouver to and from practices andgames in Squamish to garner a strongerroster base.

“I don’t believe any team has an edge,”Luniw said. “I think all the teams are goingto be better and the league is stronger as awhole. We’re going to have a ton of speed,we’re just working on [adding] some moregrit right now. I know one thing –– we’ll beprepared.”

The Kevin Chin field dedi-cation ceremony is set to take place Monday at Mackin Field South.

Chin passed away suddenly on Sept. 2, 2007 due to compli-cations from a staph infection that led to a series of cardiac arrests. He was 51.

Chin had spent the previ-ous 18 months as the defensive line coach of high school’s New Westminster Hyacks, part of a 28-year coaching career that was mostly spent in the

Coquitlam area.He was a graduate of UBC

and played five seasons with the Thunderbirds and later served as president of the B.C. Secondary Schools Football Association.

The 4:30 p.m. announcement and ensuing 5 p.m. ceremonial kickoff is designed to dedicate and name Mackin Field South in his honour and, at the same time, pay homage to his wife Sylvie and sons Casey and Jordan.

Coquitlam Express players workout during a recent training camp session at the Sports Centre. The BCHL Jr. A team opens its regular season with four straight away games before its home opener Sept. 24 versus the Surrey Eagles.

U n d e r c a p t a i n Gudmund Lindbjerg of Port Moody, Team B.C. combined for a team-total 448 Wednesday in southern Ontario to win the Phil Farley Memorial inter-provin-cial team title at the 49th playing of the Canadian men’s senior golf cham-pionship.

O t h e r m e m b e r s of the B.C. squad in-cluded consisting of Brian DeBiasio of Nelson, Real Gamache of Quesnel and Brock Waldron of Kelowna. The team combined for a two-round total of 448 (226-222 for +16) to cap-ture the title.

“It feels great and we have a good team,” Lindbjerg said. “It’s a two day competition where you have to just go out and do your best. Play hole-by-hole, these guys know how to do it. We’re all good friends, so there’s a good team chemistry.”

Team Alberta en-tered the second round sitting in fifth place but pulled into second with a strong finish, nine strokes behind B.C. Nova Scotia took third.

The team champi-onship features four-member teams compet-ing in conjunction with the first two rounds of stroke play. Each day, the best three of four scores count towards the overall team total.

For everything there is a season, just as there’s a time for quiet and a time to speak.

The last warm days of summer are heralded in farming communi-ties as the time of the harvest. Here in B.C., the harvest many look forward to is not a crop. It’s a species of fish, the pacific salmon and the chief of these salmon –– sockeye.

This year we have the largest return of these prized fish, since 1913 at least when railroads made the Fraser River’s Hell’s Gate impassable. The abundant return is a credit to the conserva-tion efforts of all par-ties, both private and in-dustrial based, working toward restoring these fish to historic levels.

Will the abundance continue on in future years? It depends on the-motivations of the user groups who share the waters and water sheds

where these fish live. Will government pol-

icy cater to the greed of a few, or will it cater to the interest of all?

I, for one, have the hope and confidence that just decisions will prevail.

Greed of a few can spoil it

Conservation is key to large sockeye crop Dave McLellan has a new

team and the first squad it will face, ironically, is his old one.

McLellan joined the Simon Fraser Clan men’s hockey pro-gram coaching staff for the upcoming B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League season, it was announced Wednesday. First on the squad’s agenda is to square off tonight (Friday) in an exhibi-tion game versus the Coquitlam Express. Puck drop at the Sports Centre is 7 p.m.

McLellan joins SFU follow-ing five seasons with the B.C. Hockey League’s Express, in-cluding the last three years as the team’s head coach. He was fired afte last season and re-placed by Jon Calvano. The Jr. ‘A’ Express spent the past five seasons playing out of Burnaby before returning this season to their original home, Coquitlam.

His expe-rience with the Express i n c l u d e d a Royal Bank Cup national c h a m p i o n -ship as an as-

sistant coach in 2006 when cur-rent NHLer Kyle Turris of the Phoenix Coyotes helped lead the club to victory. At SFU, McLellan will work primarily with the team’s defencemen.

“Dave has a great deal of ex-perience and success coaching at a high level of junior hockey,” said SFU general manager Jeff Dubois. “He’s familiar with a number of our players from his time with the Express and it’s going to be a tremendous ben-efit having him on board with our program this season.”

Tri-City players currently

on the SFU team roster in-clude defenceman Kyle Boykoof Anmore and forward KyleLeung of Port Coquitlam.

Previously, McLellan spent10 summers in Japan from 1999through 2008 working in playerdevelopment with the NipponPaper Cranes, a professionalteam in the Asian league. Heworked alongside former NHLcoach Dave King during the de-cade he spent overseas.

“It was a really neat opportu-nity,” said McLellan, who alsospent time with the Japanesenational team. “To meet a guy[like Dave King] with that muchexperience and take over aprogram that was already en-trenched, I learned a lot. Froma technical level, it was great tolearn how to work with a proand he certainly gave some goodguidance.”

FRIEDERICI, KathyThe world has lost a shining star. Kath-

leen Gail Friederici died August 20, 2010

after a very short illness. Kathy was prede-

ceased by her father Percy Kirby, her mother

Winifred MacDonald and her step-father

Duncan (Mac) MacDonald. Kathy will be

greatly missed by her son, Michael (Bren-

da) Friederici, her daughter Tanya (Berni)

Schlueter and her four grandchildren who

she adored: Michael and Kristina Friederici

and Megan and Katie Dahlen. She is also

survived and remembered by her brother

David Kirby (Nanci) and her nephews Scott

and Bryan.

Kathy was a graduate of Chilliwack High

School and U.B.C. She taught drama, Social Studies and was a School Counsellor

for many years at Frank Ross Secondary School in Dawson Creek. She was also

involved in Community Theatre in Dawson Creek, playing many diverse roles. She

maintained many friendships from her school and teaching years because she was

the kind of friend you never let go. Her former students kept in touch with “Mrs.

Fred” remembering her humour, support and creative personality. Kathy was sec-

onded by ICBC to work in the Traffi c Safety Department in the ICBC Head Offi ce,

North Vancouver. She introduced “Captain Click”, the seatbelt mascot to legions of

elementary students, and the “Counter Attack” drinking/driving program to second-

ary students in the Northern schools and Fraser Valley schools. Her innovation ideas,

plays and programs made her stand out among her colleagues who tried but could

never match her output.

In retirement, Kathy continued her working relationships by volunteering

(1000 hours) with the Coquitlam RCMP Victim Services. She also was on the Board

of Evergreen Theatre and volunteered where her mother resided for 7 years at the

Eagle Ridge Manor. She was a selfl ess, dedicated volunteer who shied away from

recognition or attention.

Kathy was all about family and friends. If you fell into either category you knew

that you were “hers” forever. She nurtured you, cared for you and supported you

through all diffi cult times – when you needed her she was your very good friend.

Kathy had a wicked sense of humour and her sense of the bizarre made people howl

with laughter. The best memories of Kathy are those involving laughter and we will

hold those close to our hearts.

There will be a Celebration of Kathy’s life on Saturday September 25th at The

Hilton Metrotown, 6083 McKay Avenue, from 2-4pm.

The family asks that if you wish, donations be made to the Atenas, Costa Rica

Playground Project. This was one of Kathy’s “projects” dream to ensure that a play-

ground was built for the Children at this school. Cheques can be made to RR Smith

Memorial Fund Foundation, 100 – 550 West 6th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 4P2.
