Lots of salmon in local creeks By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Heavy rains this month are allowing salmon to travel as high as Highland Drive on Burke Mountain — an altitude of 600 feet above sea level. “It’s almost unheard of,” said Shane Peachman of Port Coquitlam’s Hyde Creek Watershed Society, who was in the area re-

In Coquitlam last Sunday at the 20th annual Hoy Creek Salmon Come Home festival, attendees also marvelled at the size and the number of the spawning fish teeming in the watercourse.
Hatchery manager Niall Williams said his group doesn’t usually count the salmon returning until after they die but said, “They [have] started to come back in a very big way this year. “They were obviously waiting in the lower sections of Scott Creek and the Coquitlam River and, as soon as the first heavy rains occurred, they moved right up to the

Young teens being lured, says report By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Children as young as 13 are being targeted online by men twice their age and most of the victims are girls, according to the national agency that runs a cybertip line. While media focus on cyberbullying, few groups besides the Coquitlam-based Children of the Street Society have pointed to the problem of online lurers seeking to sexually exploit youth. But a recently published study by the federally sponsored Canadian Centre for Child Protection (CCCP) is re-
School District 43 working on new anti-bullying initiative: see page 4 vealing what many have feared — that predators are stalking younger and younger children, and are using threats, persistence and sexually explicit images to normalize sexual behaviour. The study of 264 cybertips, chat room communications and texts between September 2007 and June 2011 found that in 93.4% of the cases, suspects made specific requests for images or there was a discussion of previously uploaded
images; and 30% of the time, the young person themselves had sent the image to the suspect. “From our preliminary findings, what we are seeing is adult offenders using a variety of ways to manipulate children to increase their compliance in order to sexually exploit them online,” stated Lianna McDonald, executive director of CCCP, on the agency’s website. see STUDY SAYS, page 4

Workers show off the new water treatment facility in the Coquitlam watershed. The Coquitlam Ultraviolet Disinfection Project is now half complete and will include a new operations and maintenance centre. See story on page 13.
Port Moody will have the same number of police officers in 2013 as it does now but taxpayers could be paying nearly a million dollars more for the municipal force. And a chunk of that will go to personnel-related issues. The PoMo police
board’s five-year financial plan was presented to council Tuesday night, with a request for a $9.4-million operating budget for 2013. The 10.74% jump is an increase of almost $908,000 over the 2012 budget. Almost $600,000 comes from salary increases. see $100K FOR, page 14

Happy 85th birthday – times three By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
T
he first surprise came when Hendrika Bruynse went into labour about two months earlier than expected, at the Amsterdam home she shared with her husband, Wilhelmus, and their first child, a two-year-old boy. It was October 1927 and the couple was expecting Christmas twins. First came Johanna, followed by Maria. They were followed by yet another surprise: Hennie. The identical triplets, born at home on Oct. 27, 1927, weighed just nine pounds altogether. Soon after, the ambulance arrived and whisked the sisters to the hospital, where they stayed in incubators (dubbed“Dutch ovens”by Hennie’s daughter,Yvonne) for nearly five months. The feisty trio survived and will gather with about 50 extended family members to celebrate their 85th birthday this Saturday. Earlier this week, the sisters gathered at Maria’s Coquitlam home to welcome Johanna, who had recently arrived from Amsterdam, and assembled on a comfortable sofa to tell the story of their lives. “All the street went crazy” when the triplets were born,
said Johanna. “In those days, it was a miracle”they all survived, added Maria. Their father ran a successful plumbing and heating business that allowed the family to have the help of a live-in maid, and their mother went on to have seven more children. The girls attended boarding school, where they “drove those nuns bananas” playing pranks favoured by identical multiples. Naughty deeds committed by one girl were often blamed on a sister and, as they grew older, the pranks continued with boyfriends. Maria recalled the arrival of a new neighbours on their street who chastised their mother for the number of boyfriends her“daughter” was entertaining, and the time Johanna agreed to a date with a boy she didn’t care for and gave him directions to pick“her”up at work. He was waiting outside Maria’s office later that day and, when the middle triplet realized what her older sister had done, she brought him home and told Johanna her new friend was waiting at the door. With the onset of the Second World War, Maria used her shorthand skills to transcribe the BBC radio news, which she later typed
and copied so that their father, working for the underground, could distribute it. “It was very dangerous,” Maria said.“If the Germans found you with those papers, they’d kill you.” Like many in Holland, the Bruynse family suffered greatly in the war’s final winter. Fuel and food supplies had been exhausted, and, with little else to eat, the family resorted to dining on tulip bulbs. A Canadian soldier who took a shine to the triplets helped when he could with his own army rations and when the Germans finally surrendered, he pedalled their stolen bicycles back to the family one by one. The family survived and the then-18-year-old sisters were sent to Denmark to recover from months of malnourishment. It was there that they celebrated the end of the war, marching with Allied soldiers in the liberation parade. Johanna later married and had four daughters of her own, and still lives just outside of Amsterdam. Maria emigrated to the U.S. and worked for Pan Am in Miami. The Canadian soldier they’d met years earlier stayed in touch with the family; in 1958 he and Hennie were married and
settled in Port Coquitlam. They had two children in addition to two from Hennie’s first marriage. In 1997, a“nice widower” from the Coquitlam Lawn Bowling club where Hennie played took a shine to her. Still happily married, she suggested her identical — and single — sister in Miami. Maria and Don Fitzgerald were married a short time later and settled in Coquitlam; he passed away just two months ago. Through it all, the sisters stayed in touch, mostly through letters, more re-
cently by phone. Maria’s airline job meant free flights as well.Their favourite was the flight from Tokyo to Vancouver on Oct. 27 — the time zone change meant they got to celebrate their 67th birthday together twice. About to turn 85, the sisters who survived a risky birth, a war and, lately, some serious health setbacks, aren’t surprised at their own longevity. “We may be 85,”Maria said,“but in our hearts, we’re 58.” Times three. spayne@tricitynews.com

She settled in Halifax, where she was employed with theVictorian Order of Nurses (VON) until she married Charles Moss in 1934. The couple had two children — Charles and Elizabeth — and when Moss died from a heart attack in 1949, Marshall, her kids, her mother and her two sisters moved to West Vancouver; the single parent worked for theVON, St. Paul’s Hospital and the old children’s hospital. After Marshall retired in 1967, she flew to Halifax to look after a sick sister and, there, reconnected with Dr. Arthur Marshall, a beau from the 1930s.They married in 1969 and Marshall returned to Halifax permanently.The pair travelled the world.

he is hard of hearing now and sleeps most of the day but Coquitlam’s Gertrude ‘Trudy’ Marshall was in fine form last week as she marked her 110th year. The Tri-Cities’ eldest living resident celebrated her special occasion at the Dufferin Care Centre on Oct. 14 with family and friends. Daughter Betty Inglis said Mayor Richard Stewart even stopped by for a chat as Marshall received written greetings from the queen, Governor General, Lt. Governor and federal and provincial politicians. Marshall, a great grandmother of eight, was featured in The Tri-City News in 2007 — when she was just 104 — as part of an article about centenarians. Then, as with all of her guests, Marshall asked for an autograph for her guest book as a way to keep track of her visitors. Marshall has always
tercolour painting lessons, took up crewel needlepoint — which she continued to do until she was over 100 — crocheted afghans, sewed clothes by hand for her great grandchildren and did a lot of reading,”Inglis said.“She loved to bake and entertain.” And for her 100th birthday, the family treated Marshall to aVancouver Canucks game, where the queen dropped the hockey puck for a ceremonial faceoff. It was Marshall’s first live NHL game and thencaptain Trevor Linden autographed a picture for her. For the 2007 Tri-City News article, Marshall was asked the secret of her longevity. She attributed her good health to not smoking and to eating garden vegetables, chicken and home-cooked meals. She also danced, skated, walked and swam. “I had to be active,”she said then.“My nursing made me active and I was part of a large family.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Study says 86% of victims are girls continued from front page
“The research shows that suspects use persistence, threats and try to normalize sexual behaviour by sharing sexually explicit images and information as well as behaving in sexually inappropriate ways.” Findings the agency reported include: • 85.9% of identified victims were girls; • the mean age of the victims was 13 years; • the mean age of the suspects was 25; • in 50% of the cases, reports were made by a family member and in a third of cases, the victim made the report; • in 24% of the cases, the young person was threatened by the suspect and in the largest number of cases, the threat involved distributing existing images of the victim; • in 38.6% of the cases, instant messaging was used by suspects to lure victims; • in 35.5% of the cases, suspects either sent victims sexual images of themselves, or requested the young person to go on a webcam whereupon the young person would see a sexualized image of the suspect. The preliminary findings were released Oct. 19, the same day vigils were held worldwide in support of bullying victim Amanda Todd of Port Coquitlam, who is reported to have posted an inappropriate image of herself when she was in Grade 7 and was later victimized by a cyberstalker who wanted her to do a show for him. She committed suicide on Oct. 10. The CCCP, which is sponsored by federal and provincial agencies and telecommunications companies such as Telus, Shaw, Google and Bell, plans to release its full report in December, along with education and prevention recommendations. • For more information, visit www.protectchildren.ca.

Admins to discuss anti-bully moves Erase strategy, which will provide bully awareness training for educators and a mobile app for reporting cyberbullying.
By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
School District 43 administrators will be meeting next week to share ideas about effective anti-bullying measures that could be employed district wide. At Tuesday’s board of education meeting, superintendent Tom Grant said the district’s Safe Schools Task Force will be examining current anti-bullying practices and making recommendations for improvements in the wake of the suicide earlier this month of Grade 10 CABE student Amanda Todd. The plan is to define bullying and establish a consistent process for reporting bullying and following up on it. Grant said an intolerance of bullying and people working together to end it should be Todd’s legacy. Todd, who committed suicide after posting an online video chronicling years of bullying and harassment, went to elementary, middle and high school in SD43, including several months at Coquitlam Alternative Basic Education (CABE)

Extra money will come from other SD43 projects By Diane Strandberg ThE Tri-CiTy NEwS
After months of delays and a $5-million jump in costs, construction is about to begin on a middle school in Anmore. The news, announced Tuesday by School District 43’s secretary treasurer, Rick Humphreys, prompted board of education chair Melissa Hyndes to do what she called a “happy dance” but not before the board made several changes to funding for other projects to increase the construction budget for the school. Cash from construction and renovation projects that ran under budget or haven’t broken ground yet were shifted to plump up the Anmore project. It will now cost $33 million to build the school for 500 students that has a projected opening date of September 2015. Most of the additional costs come from the need to truck out 96,000 cu. m of fill to create a stable foundation for the LEED Gold-rated school, which will be built behind Heritage Woods secondary against a hill on the Port Moody/ Anmore border. Delays were caused by difficulties in siting the school — its location was moved three times — and negotiating agreements to provide fire and sewage hook-ups with Port Moody when the building

Want to set off fireworks? It depends where you live mits were issued. All three cities ban firecrackers and noisemakers, such as roman candles and bottle rockets, and impose fines of about $200.
By Sarah Payne THe Tri-CiTy News
If you’re hoping to set off fireworks to celebrate Halloween next week, you’d best check your city bylaws. Each of the Tri-Cities has different regulations when it comes to fright night pyrotechnics, with Port Moody offering the only bylaws intended to allow small-scale displays. No permit is required in PoMo unless the fireworks will be set off on public property, such as a school field; in such as case, the fire chief must give written permission. PoMo is also the only Tri-City municipality where fireworks can be purchased. In Port Coquitlam, residents can obtain a $20 fireworks event permit, which is valid only on Oct. 31 until 11:30 p.m. The person handling the

Coquitlam requires a $50 permit to set off fireworks on private prop-

Anybody setting off fireworks — legally — next week is also encouraged to handle them safely by following these tips from PoCo Fire and Rescue: • Teach kids that fireworks aren’t toys and should not be touched. • Choose a safe area to discharge fireworks, such as a bare area of ground away from buildings, overhead structures, trees, vehicles, dry grass and flammable objects. • Have a large bucket of water, sand or a garden hose ready. • Ensure spectators watch from a safe distance. • Never point or throw
fireworks at people, pets, cars or buildings. • Never hold fireworks in your hands while lighting them. • Dispose of spent fireworks in a container of water.
MOUNTIES SAY...
Coquitlam RCMP is reminding the public to enjoy a safe and happy Halloween with these tips: • Make sure trick-ortreaters are visible — wear reflective clothing or tape and carry a flashlight or glow stick. • Walk in groups and stay together. • Never enter a home; accept treats only at the front door. • Examine treats for safety and tampering, and don’t eat anything homemade. • Cross the street only at intersections or marked crosswalks.

The animal shelter is eager for any donations but specified several needed items: for cats, Friskies Pate and pill pockets; for dogs, lean cut dog foods and veterinary“gastro”foods and pill pockets; also: any gently used or new non-quilted blankets.

■ WHAT WE THINK:
A
nyone who travels on or along the Millennium Line to Vancouver can’t help but notice the new highrises taking shape at Brentwood Mall in Burnaby. Similar towers can be seen along the first SkyTrain line, the Expo Line, although they’ve had a few more years to develop. Is Port Moody prepared to see similar developments along the Evergreen Line in the future? Maybe not. Although some development is occurring around the Ioco Station, the mood Port Moody seems to favour is keeping density moderate to low, with buildings no higher than 12 storeys — and only a few of them. This is an understandable position to take given that the line hasn’t been built yet and we know neither what the ridership will be nor what the future holds for development. Still, this anti-density attitude seems naive given what’s happening elsewhere around SkyTrain stations. And it’s a good bet that little Port Moody will look a lot different in 20 years from what it looks like today.

From America to Nepal: Outsourcing wombs AS I SEE IT Tanya Lee
F
or Canadians travelling to South Asia, tourism is usually associated with monkeys and money belts, sunburns and food so delicious that you binge eat in spite of the hot peppers that turn your face scarlet and trigger more tears than The Notebook. A relatively recent type of travel has emerged between North America and South Asia:“fertility tourism.” Fertility tourism generally refers to the process by which western couples who are not able to bear children may contract a third party to serve as the gestational mother or surrogate. Why choose expensive and risky surrogacy treatments over adoption? With assisted reproductive technologies, it is possible for a third party to carry a child that contains your genes and the genes of your partner. With the high cost of contracting a gestational mother in North America, western couples have increasingly looked to South Asia
as a more affordable option. As a Human Rights Internet intern working in Nepal with funding from the Canadian International Development Agency, I recently had the opportunity to attend a workshop in Kathmandu on international fertility services. Hosted by the Women’s Rehabilitation Centre, Nepal, the group included Nepali nurses and journalists, members of the Indian women’s health organization SAMA, and the cofounder of American organization Our Bodies, Ourselves. Seated Nepali-style on cushions on the floor — between Indian folk songs and Nepali hip-shaking dances — the opportunities and risks associated with international reproductive services were mulled over and debated. In India, the primary destination for American couples seeking a surrogate, there is no standardization of care for gestational mothers. Health-wise, lack of bargaining power can lead to the gestational mother unknowingly receiving untested fertility drugs or undergoing risky medical procedures. Financially, she is at risk of not receiving the payment she was promised. Good intentions on behalf of the

■
genetic parents are not enough. Either party can be financially exploited by the private agent or due to contractual confusion regarding the costs and fees of the procedure. Furthermore, lack of standardization heightens not only health risks and economic insecurity but, also, emotional stress for both the genetic parents and the gestational mother. Surrogacy hostels have popped up to provide physical care for the women during pregnancy, providing physical necessities but isolating the woman from friends and family.The gestational mother’s right to maintain control over her environment and to receive health or counselling services post-pregnancy need to be reflected in written contracts. Parties involved also need to take into account the social repercussions that a gestational mother may encounter.The experience of being a gestational mother does not end with childbirth; her decision to act as a surrogate may affect her relationship with her spouse, parents, in-laws, existing children and community. One issue in particular that needs contractual clarity is whether the gestational mother has the right to change her mind after childbirth
and keep the child. While she may intend to hand the child over to the genetic parents, her emotional response to the child could be different than what she had expected. After nine months of dreaming and planning, the genetic parents are heavily emotionally invested in the child. Losing this opportunity to become parents could be a highly traumatic experience. Overall, the issue is largely under-researched. Anecdotally, it has been reported that the incidence of American couples seeking Indian gestational mothers has increased dramatically. For countries such as Canada and Nepal, where international fertility services are budding rather than fully blooming, opportunities exist to learn from the Indian-American experience. We need to form strategies to ensure that the rights of both the Canadian parents and the gestational mother are respected.

If she wanted peace, she’d talk I
nstead of trying for 10 years of labour peace in schools, why not go for 25 years? Premier Christy Clark’s offer to negotiate a 10-year contract with the BC Teachers’ Federation is painfully cynical, so, what the heck, a quarter century is no more ridiculous than a decade. Ms. Clark well knows this initiative is doomed before it starts. No one believes she is prepared or committed to do what it would take to repair the damage done to B.C. public schools over the past 15 years. She knows teachers would be silly to accept a 10-year contract agreement scant months before she will likely be un-elected. And she knows that the prerequisite for labour peace with teachers is an attitude and funding change, an increased commitment to public schools and educators. Teachers will respond politely, perhaps even flirt with the extended olive branch, but they will only do so to postpone the media onslaught they will face when they say they can’t kiss and make up without a commitment to helping education in B.C. catch up. Premier Clark won’t offer additional funding or salary catch-up. She won’t offer a cost-of-living
salary increase. She will suggest increased stakeholder input, school choice, testing, and anti–bullying programs. And that has been her plan from the beginning. Even before the emotional appeal for 10-year labour peace in the schools, she knew exactly how this would go. Premier Clark’s strategy is not meant to seek labour peace, it’s meant to reinforce her political allies in an ongoing fight against the BCTF. If she actually wanted labour peace, Ms. Clark would talk with teachers face to face before making impassioned pleas for conciliation through the media. She would consult teachers about public schools. Instead, she tells them what they’ll do and eschews their counsel. Premier Clark’s education peace initiative is a political stunt to help rebuild her tarnished image without having to do anything or spend any money. And it’s a particularly cynical political stunt, one that will use the suffering of children to indict her foe. Her“Gee whiz I tried”strategy is perfect — no chance for success, no cost, no votes lost. So why not shoot for 25 years?

Smart meter installation nearly complete aged. So far, 1,200 meter bases have been replaced. A house fire in Mission last spring took place three days after
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
BC Hydro is getting close to the end of its installation of 1.7 million wireless electricity meters but its “smart grid” won’t be functional until next spring. Until then, meters will still be read manually or consumption estimated for billing purposes. And for one more winter storm season, people will still have to call BC Hydro to report a power outage, before the grid begins automatic metering and reporting of electrical failures. Cindy Verschoor, BC Hydro’s communications manager for the smart meter program, said about four per cent of the meter installations remain to be done, mainly on the Gulf Islands. Some of the old meters remain in locations around the province, either because they are inaccessible or because owners have refused them. While BC Hydro owns the meter, the base and connections are part of the owner’s electrical system and can be placed anywhere. In some cases, garages or decks have been built over meters, and if they can’t be read, the bill is
ruled out as a cause. Despite media reports to the contrary, there have been no fires attributed to smart meters, she said. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Smart meters are tested at BC Hydro laboratory. When the system is complete next year, customers will be able to see a graph on their BC Hydro billing website that shows hourly electricity consumption. based on an estimate until a wireless meter is installed. Manual meter readings will be checked against automatic readings during the testing phase, to verify accuracy. Verschoor said there have been six meters replaced due to inaccurate readings or other defects, but generally the new meters are more accurate, and they eliminate human errors in reading or entering data required for mechanical meters.
“All of our meters have to be certified by Measurement Canada, which is a consumer protection agency, just like the pump at the gas station and the scale at the grocery store,”she said. Verschoor said only two customers out of more than one million have opted to have the meter located away from their home. Those who refuse for whatever reason have their installation placed “on hold” while their concerns are addressed by BC Hydro.
After media reports of fires associated with the program, BC Hydro commissioned a study of residential fire reports by Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis and researcher Joseph Clare. It shows that electrical fires have declined since the installation of new meters began. Damaged meter sockets are usually the owner’s responsibility but BC Hydro inspects them at the time of install and offers to fix them at no charge if they are dam-
Evergreen tenders power contract The Evergreen Line has issued another tender for the installation of new underground power supply lines in Coquitlam. The power supply will be used to operate the new rapid transit line when it opens in summer 2016. Work will include digging a 1.5 m trench, installing BC Hydro duct banks to house the power lines and resurfacing the road to the previous condition. Construction will take place in the following areas of Coquitlam: • Pinetree Way from Glen Drive to Town Centre Boulevard; • the Mariner Way access road to the West Coast Express parkand-ride for Coquitlam Central Station; • and Falcon Drive at Barnet Highway. The work is expected to take about three months, with completion slated for next spring. Anyone with concerns about potential disruptions or access to nearby businesses and homes is encouraged to contact the project office at 604927-4452.

A new water treatment plant in the Coquitlam watershed is now half complete. Yesterday, the media got a sneak peek of the Coquitlam Ultraviolet Disinfection Project, a $110-million facility built to silver LEED standards that, when open next fall, will clean water heading for at least a third of Metro Vancouver residents. “We will have the safest water in the world,” said Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro Vancouver’s utility board and mayor of North Vancouver city. Mussatto said the UV plant is being built in response to federal regulations that came into effect after seven people died in 2000 when they drank E. coli-contaminated water in Walkerton, Ont. Once the plant is fin-
ished, water from the Coquitlam reservoir — located in a restricted area at the top of Pipeline Road — will be pumped into eight units, each containing 40 UV lamps that will kill water-borne microorganisms such as cryptosporidium and giardia. The UV disinfection is on top of the current ozonation, corrosion-control and chlorination processes. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who is Metro Vancouver board chair, said the Coquitlam source now provides about 370 million litres of potable water a day but the UV plan will be sized to treat 1.2 billion litres daily for those who will call Metro Vancouver home in the next 20 years. “We built a system for future capacity,” he said at a news conference, noting the new UV plant won’t affect the Coquitlam watershed.

Cell tower possible for private land behind PoCo store Proposal is at the earliest stages By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
A 35 m high cellphone tower is being proposed for a shopping plaza in Port Coquitlam. Telus, through a subsidiary agent known as Standard Land Company Inc., said it will initiate a public consultation process for the tower, which the company wants to locate behind the Pharmasave store on Coast Meridian Road. Laura Lee Richard, the city’s director of development services, said it is still early in the process.
$100k for staff issues continued from front page Another $262,000 will go to E-Comm, the regional 911 service. That cost was previously reported in the city fiscal services fund and doesn’t represent a jump in the city’s overall costs, bringing the budget increase closer to 7%. Three other big-ticket items in a list of projects totalling more than $135,000 relate to human resources at Port Moody Police Department, including two connected the recent announcement by Chief Const. Brad Parker that he will retire next June. Besides budgeting $25,000 to hire a search firm to find a Parker’s replacement, the board is asking for $51,000 for “executive mentoring and leadership development” so it can respond “to a need for succession planning and enhancing employee morale.” As well, the PMPD budget request includes $24,000 to conduct an employee satisfaction survey related to the department’s 2012-’13 strategic plan. Other items on the police board wish list for next year include: • $17,000 for repair of police building drainage (improper construction results in water pooling in the crawlspace, creating mould issues); • $7,000 for vests and safety jackets for community and victim services volunteers; • $9,000 for mandatory training for the identification unit (includes a 12-week program at the Canadian Police College in Ottawa); • and $3,500 for to replace outdated furniture with ergonomic pieces in the crime analyst area. Coun. Gerry Nuttall, who chairs the city’s finance committee, said the group will pore over each line of the police budget at Saturday’s budget talks. “We’ll fine tune what’s presented to us and if we see anything we can’t really afford, we’ll go back to them,” Nuttall said, adding the proposed increase is“significant.” spayne@tricitynews.com

Oil protest hits three Tri-City MLA offices
Survey says...
T h e Po r t M a n n / Highway 1 project team is gauging drivers’ satisfaction with the work it’s doing by reaching out in an online survey. Conducted by the marketing research company Mustel Group, the survey asks questions about people’s knowledge of the project, such as the number of lanes being added along various stretches of the highway, and their opinion of the safety measures in place around construction areas. Survey results will also be included in the 2012 annual report, which will be published next spring. For more information about the PMH1 project, visit pmh1project.com.
About two dozen protesters gathered outside of Port Coquitlam NDP MLA Mike Farnworth’s constituency office on Wednesday as part of a province-wide day of action to oppose pipelines and tankers in B.C. The Defend Our Coast event in PoCo was organized by Amy Anne Lubik, a postdoctoral fellow at the Vancouver Prostate Centre who fears the proposed Enbridge line from Calgary would ruin the Great Bear Rainforest in northern B.C. Farnworth, the NDP health critic, was travelling in the Interior during the protest but his former constituency assistant, PoCo Coun. Brad West, took questions from the crowd, which held signs reading “Stand On Guard! Protect Our Coast!” and “BC Is Not For Sale.” West, who said he’s working with the United Steelworkers union, also urged the protestors to “keep our eye on the prize” and to take their message to the ballot box for the May provincial election. Similar protests were held outside the constituency offices of Port Moody-Coquitlam NDP MLA Joe Trasolini and CoquitlamMaillardville NDP MLA Diane Thorne. JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Porter parents get their wish but question board By Diane Strandberg
IN QUOTES
The Tri-CiTy News
Parents of students attending Coquitlam’s Porter Street elementary are relieved the School District 43 board of education won’t be selling land at their school. But even though they go what they wanted, they had a few choice words for trustees who voted to nix the plan to sell school property to create nine lots. “How did it ever become a formal proposal?” parent John Murphy asked during a public question period at Tuesday’s board meeting. He said parents spent hundreds of hours researching and fighting the proposal, and couldn’t figure out why their school was one of two under consideration for land sale. (The other is Parkland.) Parents who spoke at the meeting also raised issues of lack of transparency in the process and the stress caused parents who were first alerted about the plan when a sign went up at the school. Porter Street parent advisory council chair
“The proposal to sell this land has outraged the vast majority of the Porter community.” Katherine Murray DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Katherine Murray told the board parents are concerned about lack of due process, safety issues, reduction in playing fields and land use. “The proposal to sell this land has outraged the vast majority of the Porter community,” she said. After trustees agreed the district shouldn’t proceed with the plans, Murray expressed relief but said parents were exhausted after weeks of trying to find out why the board had chosen the school for a possible land sale and then making efforts to get trustees to change their minds. After fielding questions at well-attended public meetings on the Porter land sale, trustees decided to vote that night to halt proceedings, calling
their decision a “foregone conclusion.” “Likely no new information would come forward” if trustees waited the usual two weeks to hold a vote, said Anmore/Belcarra trustee Holly Butterfield. But a proposal to hive off a portion of Parkland elementary school property on Como Lake Avenue for eight lots will still be voted on Nov. 6. The only trustee to vote against not proceeding at Porter was Port Coquitlam’s John Keryluk, who didn’t explain the reasons for his decision. Staff reasons for not proceeding with selling a piece of Porter land for nine lots included concerns about problems with parking and student drop-off, access and the
expense of relocating grass fields. But the district hasn’t squelched entirely plans for selling surplus assets to raise funds for replacement schools and other projects in other parts of the city. According to reports presented at the meeting, Porter Street and Parkland elementary school properties exceed provincial education ministry guidelines, which means the district is responsible for maintaining community amenities not specifically used by the school and doesn’t get reimbursed for it. (According to ministry guidelines, Porter is 8.1 acres while the ministry recommendation is 6.7 acres for the size of school, while Parkland is 9.23 acres.) The district would like to use the proceeds from land sales to supplement capital costs for new and replacement schools because its needs outweigh provincial funding. Selling off Parkland for eight lots, for example, could generate $3 million to $5 million for school capital needs, the report notes.

Three of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of Acupuncture: • Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of Migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and now had taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture treatment was done on her over five visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches. • Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon with older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to ten times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptom had gone and he doesn’t have the urgency to visit the bathroom as often. • P. Chew, 88 years old, was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily.

The visiting Accreditation Team from Canada and the United States. Hope Lutheran Christian School and High School recently entered into a process to become an accredited school through the National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA) program. NLSA is a self-study and review process that is conducted by the school, and then extensively reviewed by an outside team of administrators and professors from around Canada and the United States. In this process, eleven different areas are evaluated including Mission and Vision, Administration, Classroom Procedures, Curriculum Development and Enhancement, and more. If the school meets the standards that are outlined in these areas, they are recommended for accreditation. After a lengthy review and evaluation, Hope has met these standards, and has been recommended for accreditation. This is a highly regarded status, as only three schools outside of the United States have received this standing, one in Hong Kong, one in Vietnam, and one in Calgary, AB. Mike Schiemann, Principal at Hope indicates, “We are so excited to have gone
through this process to affirm those things we do well, and devise a plan on how to make our great school even better for the sake of the students.” The fact that Hope was willing to go through this process shows a school that is willing to be the best for the sake of their students and families. Schiemann is also excited that they are among a small few who have internationally received this recognition. The mission statement of NLSA states that, “NLSA encourages and recognizes schools that provide quality Christian education and engage in continuous improvement.” As Hope grows and serves more families within the surrounding communities, quality Christian education and continual reflection and selfevaluation make Hope the dynamic school that parents are seeking for their children. Hope will formally receive their accreditation documents in August, 2013. To learn more about Hope Lutheran Christian School and High School visit their website at www.hopelcs.ca or call the school at 604-942-5322.

By Gary McKenna With dark and rainy weather upon the region, it is important for drivers and cyclists to be more aware of each other during their daily commute. That is the message from Jack Trumley, a spokesperson for the TriCities branch for HUB (formerly the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition), which is encouraging cyclists to participate in Bike to Work Week next week. “The weather is always a difficult issue,” Trumley said. “People who bike and people who don’t bike need to watch out for each other when they are on the road.” There is no reason people can’t cycle year round, he added, but those who pedal to and from work in the fall and winter months need to take certain precautions. Helmets are an obvious safety requirement — and required by law — but some riders may

This is the type of Norco bike that was stolen from in front of Minnekhada middle school in Port Coquitlam Tuesday. gone,” said Ruditsch, who is the school’s parent advisory council chair and her neighbourhood Block Watch captain. “Stealing bikes from a middle school, from a child, really... It just seems wrong that they would go to the means to steal from kids at that age.” Minnekhada vice-principal Todd Smith, who saw a man in his early 20s on the school property ride off on what was likely Matt’s bike, said it took a while to process the fact that the bike was stolen from the school.
He called the police and a search for the blue Norco Mountaineer (serial number AJ10110805 ) was conducted but nothing was found. Although bike thefts are relatively rare at the school, Smith said he’ll be looking at alternative locations for bike storage and will be talking to students about how to prevent bike theft and ways to make it easier to identify stolen bikes. Coquitlam RCMP report 59 bike thefts in PoCo since January, compared to 46 over the same period last year and 41
during those months in 2010. Cpl. Jamie Chung advises cyclists to use ushaped hard locks rather than wire locks, which can be easily cut, and to get the brand with flat keys rather than cylinder keys, because they are harder to pick. “Some bike thieves are just that good, they cut the lock and run away with it,”he said. • Anyone with information on Matt Ruditsch’s stolen bike can call Coquitlam RCMP at 604945-1550, quoting file number 12-20775.

A 13-year-old boy has learned the hard way that owning something nice can make some people greedy. For the second time in less than six months, thieves have made off with a bike owned by Matt Ruditsch, a Minnekhada middle school Grade 8 student, even though, in both instances, the bikes were locked in front of the school building with other students’ bikes. The latest theft, which took place Tuesday afternoon at the Port Coquitlam school, has Coquitlam RCMP warning other cyclists to take extra precautions because bike thefts are on the rise in Port Coquitlam. School officials will be taking steps to prevent bike thefts, too. Donna Ruditsch wrote a letter to The Tri-City News about the hardheartedness of thieves who steal from kids, saying her son was extremely sad when he found out his bike was stolen. “It’s like his security and transportation are

PoMo opens Proposal raises heritage, rental concerns up child care possibilities By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
A proposal for a strata conversion subdivision raised concerns about the loss of rental housing and heritage preservation. Fred Soofi is applying
By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Child care facilities can now expand into different areas of Port Moody after council passed a zoning bylaw amendment at Tuesday’s meeting. The change means child care is a permitted use in all one-family residential and development acreage zones for up to 10 children. It will also allow child care use in some commercial and comprehensive development zones for facilities that would look after more than 10 kids at a time. Staff proposed the zoning changes after reviewing child care regulations contained in the Community Care and Assisted Living Act and the BC Building Code. Other Moody news: A crosswalk will be added to Ioco Road a little earlier than expected after two youngsters argued their case before city council. Caitlin and her best friend Lucy live on Ioco Road and said they expect to wait at least five minutes — but often end up waiting more than 10 — to cross the street, at which point they have to run to make it to school on time. At the Oct. 9 meeting, they asked
council for a crosswalk at Campbell Road, a plan that was already on the books for 2014. At Tuesday’s meeting, council agreed to move those plans forward to 2013. The nearly $200,000 project will include relocating the nearby bus stop and other intersection improvements. Parking a commercial or oversized vehicle — including some large RVs — on Port Moody streets may soon be restricted to a total of 48 hours in any consecutive 10-day period. Council has been grappling with the problem of how to keep the large vehicles from being parked on local roads indefinitely, citing safety and visibility concerns. At Tuesday’s meeting, councillors passed first three readings of amendments to the street, traffic and public places bylaw to restrict parking options for oversize vehicles. Limiting parking to 48 hours within a 10-day period is expected to allow RV owners time to prepare their vehicle for a trip but prevent people from moving their vehicle to slightly different locations to extend their parking time.

Go to the market & try asking where your food comes from MARKET FRESH Karen Curtis Local is more important than ever
T
he rain has finally arrived and with it comes the end of the outdoor market season. The Coquitlam Farmer’s Market wraps up for 2012 on Sunday, Oct. 28. But don’t despair as it morphs into the Port Moody Winter Market on Nov. 4 and thus continues the opportunity to buy the best local food in the Tri-Cities. Winter markets are becoming increasingly popular all over the Lower Mainland as people continue to recognize the need for locally produced food. Apples, squash and root vegetables are all still in abundance throughout the winter. Breads, meat, cheese and seafood are also regularly available, to say nothing of the prepared foods. The Port Moody Market brings new vendors to the TriCities and, with them, further opportunity to get to know the people who bring you your food. I want to end my column season with some general information about food safety, and specific information about beef, to reiterate just how important it is to support local food. When you can look in the eye of the person who has made, baked, raised or grown your food, you have the opportunity to question them about their preparation practices. What does the farmer do to the soil before the seeds are planted? Where does the baker get the ingredients for the cinnamon buns? Is the fruit in the jam organic? The livelihood of these people depends on honest answers to your questions. They can’t tell you one thing and do another. The integrity of the market rests on the Coquitlam Farmers Market staff ensuring the vendors are who they say they are. The staff makes farm visits and holds juries before a vendor is allowed to sell at market. Additionally, Fraser Health has specific criteria about what kinds of food and sampling are allowed at market. Given the recent recall of so much beef from XL Foods in Alberta, I wanted to tell you about Redl’s Beef. Barry and Marg Redl and their family raise beef near
Hot & hearty recipe Try the following recipe to truly appreciate the best of the market:
HUNGARIAN SAUSAGE POTATO BAKE
4 links Redl’s Hungarian sausage, cut into half-inch slices 4 medium potatoes, scrubbed and cut into fork-sized chunks 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks 1 onion, peeled and cut into chunks 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp thyme Salt and freshly ground pepper Toss all the ingredients together and place in a parchment-lined 9x11 baking dish. Cover dish with foil and bake at 400 F for 45 to 60 minutes, stirring once or twice during baking. Uncover for the last 10 minutes to brown up the veggies. Williams Lake. The cattle graze on pasture and meadowland untouched by pesticides and herbicides. When not out on the range, the cattle are over-wintered on a feed ration of legume-grass hay to help out during the harsh Cariboo winter. The feed does not contain medication, feed efficiency drugs or animal byproducts. Any animal that requires medication is culled from the herd and not sold at market. When slaughter
time comes, the beef are butchered by a local, provincially inspected butcher who guarantees the beef coming back to the Redls is indeed Redl beef — not all butchers will promise that. Aside from the phenomenal taste that comes from grass-fed beef, you can be assured the meat you buy from the Redls always has been and always will be safe. We have come to expect cheap food in Canada without con-
sidering the long-term costs associated with that expectation. Our food producers are asked to produce food faster and cheaper than ever before while paying ever increasing costs for all that is needed to produce that food. Our agriculture industry is not subsidized like it is in the U.S. Our food producers are not allowed to add growth hormones to animal feed so the animals get bigger and give more than nature intended. When we continue to ask more for less, we get sick animals, E. coli outbreaks and imported food. So remember, when you support your local farmers’ markets, you are supporting much more than your local farmer. You are sending a strong message about what matters to you. Have a warm, safe winter season. I look forward to chatting with you again in May.

‘The Indispensable Binder’ at Dogwood We’ve all heard it before: Get your pertinent information together in one place, something you can grab if you have to evacuate your home in a hurry. But how many of us have actually done it? If you have been procrastinating, there is help to get you motivated: a program called The Indispensable Binder, being held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at Coquitlam’s Dogwood Pavilion. Diana Cruchley, an educator and author, will go through steps of determining what information to consider, establishing a comprehensive list and setting up that information. Participants will learn how valuable this information will be for family members in the event of a life-changing event
Locals host jazz event for African ‘gogos’ Some local grandmothers are organizing a musical event for a cause. Coquitlam Gogos (“gogo” means “grandmother” in Zulu) are hosting an evening of jazz and dance music in support of African grandmothers on Friday, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre. Big Band Cabaret will feature the Inlet Jazz Big Band and the H a r m o n y Vo c a l Ensemble. You can dance the night away or simply enjoy an evening of live music as others glide around the dance floor. P ro c e e d s f ro m Big Band Cabaret will be directed to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, which supports grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa raising millions of children orphaned by the HIV/ AIDS pandemic. African grandmothers have buried their own children and must now care for their grandchild r e n p l u s m a ny other children in the community who do not have care.
The Grandmothers Campaign has responded to the AIDS pandemic by raising more than $16.5 million since its inception, the eve of International Women’s Day 2006. Funds raised provide necessities such as food, school uniforms, fees and supplies, home-based care, HIV counseling and testing, adequate housing and microcredit loans. Coquitlam Gogos are among more than 240 groups across Canada involving more than 7,000 women; the group also belongs to a network of 29 groups in southwestern B.C. called Greater Van Gogos. Big Band Cabaret includes a craft sale, a cash bar, and a silent auction. Tickets cost $45 and must be purchased in advance by calling Wendy at 604-939-5216 or Evergreen Cultural Centre at 604-9276555. They may also be purchased via Evergreen’s website at www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

Play it safe on Halloween: experts Before parents and children head out for Halloween trick-ortreating, BC Ambulance Service and BC Children’s Hospital are offering safety tips: • Be seen: Both kids and parents should wear bright costumes or clothing made of flameresistant material with reflective tape, or carry light sticks or flashlights to ensure motorists can see them. Consider trickor-treating in a group. Don’t forget to stop, look left, right and left again before crossing a street. Always cross the street at corners and crosswalks. If there isn’t a sidewalk, walk beside the road or street facing
THE
TURN IN CANDY TO GET CASH
Two local businesses will turn children’s Halloween candy into cash next week. Once again, Dr. Ali Amiri at Coquitlam Family Chiropractic will provide a loonie for every pound of candy brought into the office on Nov. 1 from 3 to 7 p.m. As well, kids who participate will get a healthy treat and a chance to win an iPod Touch. The office is located at 210-2885 Barnet Hwy., Coquitlam (the Royal Bank building). In Port Coquitlam, Dr. Nareeta Stephenson at Strawberries and Sunshine Healing Centre will buy back unopened candy for $2 per pound (for up to five pounds) between 9:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Nov. 1. This is the first such event for Stephenson, whose office is located at 1530 Prairie Ave. traffic. And drivers are urged to slow down and watch for pedestrians.
• Dress appropriately: To prevent falls, make sure your child’s cos-
tume fits well and isn’t too long or loose. A mask can obscure your vision; instead try make-up. • Adult supervision: Young children should always have a responsible adult escorting them door-to-door on Halloween night. Skip past houses that don’t have lights on or where the walkway isn’t welllit, and avoid unfamiliar animals. • Be a good host: Make sure the path to your front door is clear of any obstructions or sharp objects and is well-lit to prevent trickor-treaters from falling. Don’t leave pumpkins with burning candles close to where children
may be to prevent burns or costumes catching on fire. • Choking: Choking occurs most frequently among children under two years of age but choking can happen at any age. Do not give children under five popcorn, hard candy or nuts. When eating candy, parents should have children sit at a table since eating while playing, jumping or talking can lead to choking. Finally, always check the treats before your child eats them. Throw away any items with torn wrappers or holes in the wrapper, and wash and cut any fruit before eating.

Time to get your gardens ready for winter IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter
trogen fertilizer, something like Scott’s Turfbuilder Wintercare 30-0-9 and by applying prilled lime at the rate of 10 kilograms per 2000 square feet to prevent acidic soil. It is too late now to seed new lawns, but aerating and sanding existing lawns now would sure make a huge difference.
Flowers, veggies, lawns all need help
A
utumn is just a month old but for gardeners, it’s already time to start thinking about winterizing their gardens...
FLOWERS
Heavy rainfalls have taken their toll on many garden annuals and perennials.They will make great compost, but removing them will leave your garden looking rather bare. Hardy winter colour, set out now, will add new life and provide much needed colour to your winterscape. Strategically planting winter colour in groups with contrasting blocks of bright colours, like yellow with more pastel shades, creates the most pleasing effect. Groupings of hardy ‘Red Bor’ and ‘Winter Bor’ kale, winter blooming heather, violas and pansies, bright evergreen foliaged perennials and evergreen grasses, placed here and there in your garden and close to your walkways, will give a tremendous lift to your winter garden. It is still the ideal time to plant your fall bulbs. Plant them in well-drained soil at a depth of three times the diameter of the bulb. Plant bulbs in groupings for the most pleasing effect. With proper planning, you can time your bulbs to bloom in sequence from January through June. I’m a big fan of botanical or species bulbs that naturalize easily and come back each year with an even more impressive display. Make sure you have at least a few alliums for a great summer show in June and July. It’s the last call for lifting and protecting summer bulbs. Gladiola corms and begonia tubers should have been lifted by now and they must be kept warm at about 15°C. It is also the time to lift dahlia and canna tubers.
VEGETABLES
Many late vegetables can stay in the garden for winter harvesting. These include turnips, parsnips, brussels sprouts, swiss chard and the new series of winter vegetables. If you do not have proper vegetable storage, you can place a thick mulch of bark over your root crops and leave them in the ground as long
TREES, SHRUBS as possible. Fall is a great time to add existing compost to your garden and there is still time to plant Garden Rejuvenation Mix for invaluable green manure in the spring. Speaking of compost, make sure you take full advantage of all the leaves, old annuals and vegetable stems by composting them over the winter.You might also wish to add more sand to your vegetable garden to improve the drainage
next year. Applying lime is important now too, except of course where you are going to grow potatoes.
LAWNS
Cut your lawns quite low (1½-2 inches) one more time to allow more air circulation in and around the root systems.This can prevent many disease problems.To prevent moss from taking over your lawn, maintain a high level of nutrients by applying a controlled-release, high ni-
Now is the best time to plant most evergreens, fruit trees and shade trees. They are becoming dormant and, once planted, they will immediately form new roots. By spring, they will have well established root systems. Some points to remember: The quality of the soil in which you plant your new trees will determine how well your trees grow. Work in plenty of fine bark mulch to open up and provide good drainage in our heavy clay soils. If your trees are in burlap sacks, you should leave
Call for Volunteers!
the sack on the rootball — it’s holding all those roots together. Bare root trees can be safely planted now. They will make new roots, getting them off to a great start come spring. If you use a liquid starter, your trees will get a faster start. Evergreen hedges, planted now, will provide a good windbreak for cold winter winds, thereby helping to keep your fuel bill down a little. Hedges will also give you
privacy and at the same time, beautify your home. So all things considered, an evergreen hedge is an excellent investment. Many fall flowering trees and shrubs can be planted now to provide winter beauty. These include viburnum ‘Pink Dawn’, autumn flowering cherries, Chinese witch hazel ornamental grasses, jasmine and the many varieties of berried plants to name just a few. It is critical that you begin
organic dormant spraying with ‘Green Earth Lime Sulphur’ and ‘Horticultural Oil’ in mid-November to control insects and diseases that overwinter in your trees. We are now entering a brand new season and it is so nice to have our lawns and gardens in shape for the coolest and wettest time of the year. The addition of winter colour is a pure bonus — one you will appreciate more and more as winter progresses.

Turn out the (old) lights Burned-out lightbulbs and outdated lighting fixtures have some place to go now besides the dump. Lighting products can now be dropped off at numerous collection sites around the province, including the Tri-Cities. The expanded LightRecycle program is being hailed as a bright environmental move by B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake and the Retail Council of
Canada. But the new program means consumers, including industrial consumers, will be paying a fee for new bulbs and fixtures to cover the costs of the program announced recently. As of Oct. 1, fees, ranging from 10 cents to $2.50 depending on the item, apply to the sale or supply of all lights, ballasts and fixtures, including retail, industrial, commercial and institutional
sales. Manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers may include the recycling fee in the product price or display it as a separate charge to purchasers. There are four collection sites for burned-out consumer lightbulbs/ tubes in Coquitlam, including Canadian Tire, London Drugs and two Rona stores. The full list and their addresses are available at www.lightrecycle.ca.
Meanwhile, lighting fixtures can be taken to the Coquitlam Return-It Depot (2554 Barnet Hwy.) and Lougheed Return-It Depot (1045A Lougheed Hwy.) while Happy Stan’s Recycling Service at 1603 Langan Ave. in Port Coquitlam will accept lights, lamps, fixtures and ballasts from largevolume commercial, retail and industrial generators. For more information, visit www.lightrecycle.ca.

Furnishings retailer going LED Swedish-based retailer Ikea is doing its part to get Canadians to switch to lower-energy LED lightbulbs. The company, which has a store in Coquitlam, will be switching its entire lighting range to LED by 2016 to encourage consumers to switch from incandescent bulbs to LED without changing the lamp base. According to the global retailer, if one million people changed one bulb each to LED, the amount of CO2 emissions
that would be reduced would be the equivalent of taking 6,700 cars off the road or planting 17 million trees per year. By encouraging people to make the switch, a company press release stated, Ikea is hoping to change public attitudes because according to a survey by consultants hired by the company, nearly half (49%) of Canadians know LEDs have a longer life span than other bulbs but only 27% say they use them.

GET INVOLVED IN YOUR COMMUNITY! VOLUNTEER ON A COQUITLAM COMMITTEE
Hear, there, everywhere By Boaz Joseph Black PReSS
As her mom Lisa chats with other parents nearby, Lily Cable splashes with several kids hovering around a playground wading pool. Periodically, the little blonde girl from Anmore brings cupfuls of water from a nearby fountain to keep the fun going. Every cup helps, it seems. Lisa says the two-yearold is a charismatic tot with an attitude — in a good way — and is like any other kid, even if the earrings she wears dangle from hearing aids. On this morning, she’s taking part in the annual Mingle and Play event at the BC Family Hearing Resource Society (BCFHRS) centre in Fleetwood. About 60 youngsters are splashing, running, climbing, jumping — basically being kids. The event is a meetand-greet for parents, caregivers and young clients at the largest agency in the province serving children from birth to age five who are deaf or hard of hearing. Lily was diagnosed at the age of two months as hard of hearing, became a client at the BCFHRS at three months and was wearing hearing aids at four months. Early intervention is not unusual these days. For several years, B.C. hospitals have been doing hearing tests on all newborns. Re-tests for early fails are done at two months and if a diagnosis is made, BCFHRS clinicians use their expertise to help the kids with speech, language, communication, hearing development and treatment strategies.
Their programs include individual services to children and families and outreach workers throughout the province. About 250 children use the centre’s deaf and hard of hearing services — they include language, speech and auditory therapy, parent-to-parent support, sign language instruction, cochlear implant habilitation, and educational materials.
The centre has a team of 20 staffers who perform hearing intervention, speech pathology, teaching of the deaf and hard of hearing, and auditory verbal therapy. Three support staff — all early childhood education workers, one of them a sign language teacher — are all either deaf or hard of hearing, notes BCFHRS executive director Noreen Simmons. “The deaf staff uses
only sign language to communicate.” Half of BCFHRS’s clients are from the Fraser Valley, with the rest coming from the Interior (17%), Vancouver Coastal (15%), northern B.C. (9%) andVancouver (9%). The BCFHRS’ building has been the society’s headquarters for the last nine of its 29 years.

‘A world of difference’ continued from page 38
It is funded by the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development as well as public donations, including major annual contributions by the Royal Purple of Canada, a group linked to The Elks. And these days, they’re getting helped younger than ever. Compared with other kids diagnosed at the at age of three or four, early diagnosis “makes a world of difference,”says Lisa. By the age of one, Lily had already caught up to her peers in speech and language with the therapy at the centre. “If you were to put her in a group of kids her age, she’d speak the same as them,” she says, crediting the early adoption of hearing aids. Lisa says having a child with a diagnosis of a hearing problem does not have to define who they are — especially when there’s help available. “The other thing is when they get them this
early, she doesn’t know any different,” she adds. “She’s not like a five-yearold who now has to try to put them on feel different [from other kids]. She’s always known them and loves having them in because she can hear us. “She’s a perfectly normal kid, and that’s all you can ask for, right?”

Collection 45 pairs up with Vancouver Contemporary Art Gallery
Indulging your artistic side In partnership with the Vancouver Contemporary Art Gallery, Collection 45 is introducing Art Studio 45, a studio facility that will give a local artist an amazing opportunity. Collection 45 is a condominium building in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood featuring studio, oneand two-bedroom homes. Now, a space will be set aside in the building for one artist to have an art studio where he or she can work. “We wanted to promote contemporary art within the community,” says Ameet Johal, marketing director for Fifth Avenue Marketing.
“We consider the homes to be like a piece of art,” she says, adding, “The residents are all very design-savvy people.” The artist will be chosen by the executive director of the VCAG, Nigel Prince, and then will hold the studio space for one year. “They will put a panel together, call for submissions with some requirements, and then make a decision,” on who the artist will be, Johal says. The artist will be able to take possession of their studio in late 2013. For more information about the art initiative, visit www.collection45.com.

Vibrant neighbourhood in Coquitlam
Bluetree brings a French feel to Mackin Park By Kerry Vital
Bluetree Homes is bringing modern style to a heritage neighbourhood with its newest project, Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park. “There are lots of options for buyers in the Coquitlam area,” says Yosh Kasahara, general manager of sales and marketing for Bluetree Homes. “What we can offer here is the best value for the dollar in this market. You simply cannot find a comparably appointed home in a location this good, built by a developer with a stellar track record, all for this price.” Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park is located in the heart of Maillardville, a walkable, village-like community with a rich sense of history. “The building will serve as a new landmark for this community that already has so much going for it,” says Kasahara. “In addition to shopping, restaurants, parks and other amenities within walking distance, it has a vibrant past rooted in its French-Canadian heritage.” Top-rated schools, including some with French programs, are also within walking distance of the homes at Mackin Park, so the area is as great for
young families as it is for professional couples and downsizers. The inspired design at Mackin Park starts with the exterior of the building. “The French-inspired architecture of the building is a nod to its past while also artfully combining modern elements to create a building that would look just as at home in Montreal as it would in Paris,” says Kasahara. The one-and two-bedroom low-rise apartments are spacious and inviting, with floorplans ranging between 548 and 1,013 square feet. The high-end finishings include stainless-steel appliances and engineered stone countertops in the kitchens, complemented by a hand-set marble tile backsplash and chic squareline two-tone laminate cabinetry. Kasahara says the homes will feature several space-saving innovations, including built-in mirrored cabinets in the bathrooms, and spice racks and pull-out pantry drawers in the kitchens. Every home includes its own private patio or balcony, so you will always
“
The building will serve as a new landmark for this community,” says Yosh Kasahara, general manager of sales and marketing.

Residences on Shaughnessy...Comfort by Design Neighbourhood Charm “This neighbourhood is very quiet and very friendly,” Trevor says. “Yet you’re still only minutes from big box shopping at Shaughnessy Town Centre or downtown PoCo, you can be at the West Coast Express Station in under five minutes, and there’s a bus stop right outside the building so when the Evergreen is complete, it will be a snap to connect.” The Residences on Shaughnessy is also steps, literally, from the famous Traboulay Trail that winds its way along the Coquitlam River and less than 800 metres from three, individual parks: Aggie Park, Maclean Park, and Lions Park where you’ll find a whimsical, multi-coloured dragon made of giant truck tires. And here’s another bonus. In addition to schools at all levels, the David Lam campus of Douglas College is right round the corner for when you just have to learn something new… like a foreign language or the latest Photoshop techniques. Don’t Miss Out The Residences on Shaughnessy is located at 2175 Fraser in Port Coquitlam, but be sure to check out the presentation centre open 1-6 p.m. daily except Fridays at 2037 Lougheed Hwy.

By Susan M Boyce “Great value, great location.” Sales manager Trevor Street doesn’t hesitate for a second when asked what’s so great about The Residences on Shaughnessy. “People absolutely love the location, and when they find out we’ve got one-bedrooms starting at $228,900 and two-bedrooms from $266,900, they’re thrilled,” Trevor says. “When they find out those prices include net HST and all the ‘upgrade’ features they see in the showhome, they’re sold.” His list of standard features is extensive: stainless steel appliances, crown moulding, built-in entertainment centre, laminate flooring throughout living area, granite counters in kitchen and all bathrooms, shakerstyle cabinetry plus underground parking, storage locker, and secure bike locker. “I hear it all the time, buyers say these homes offer superior value to anything else they’ve seen in this area.” Invest in Yourself “For first time buyers, The Residences on Shaughnessy is a fantastic opportunity to get into the real estate market without breaking the bank,” Trevor says. “You could actually own a brand new, one-bedroom home here for less than $1,000 per month. You probably can’t rent a basement suite for that. And when you decide it’s time to move up, as the original owner, you could keep your suite and become a landlord yourself.”

Malcolm chases B.C. championship Tri-city product leads knights to 4-2 record in aaa varsity football Grant Granger BLack Press
For years — make that decades — the St. Thomas More Knights football program churned out great running backs such as CFL stars Jon Cornish and Calvin McCarty to name a couple. The Knights’ route to the promised land of a provincial championship was taken along the ground, although they didn’t always reach their destination. The last few years, the Knights have added an aerial attack to augment the ground game. Quarterback Mikey Carney was at the helm and he was good enough to get himself a spot on the University of Guelph Gryphons. Th i s s e a s o n , t h e Knights air force is being piloted by Port Coquitlam Grade 11 Chase Malcolm, who has them sporting a 4-2 overall record and in the top two in the provincial AAA rankings. The 16-year-old quarterback has averaged 200 yards passing a game, completed 77% of his passes and thrown for 11 touchdowns in six games. Those are exceptional numbers for a
high school QB. Football has been in Malcolm’s blood since he was six years old when he started playing minor football. At first, he says, he was a running back but two years later he switched to quarterback when the previous one went to another team and they had no one else. Malcolm was only too happy to be the centre of attention at quarterback. “Every eight-year-old boy wants to score a touchdown,” he said during a break from practice at STM field. “But once I got older I realized it was a team game.” At first he was a little scared because he was younger than most of his teammates. “The first year I didn’t now what to expect and what the role is,” he said. “Every year I’m starting to improve in my leadership skills. I learned what I need to work on. I like to lead others and that’s one of the roles of being a quarterback. When Malcolm was heading into Grade 8 he wanted to go to a school with a football program. He chose STM because he’d seen the coaches adapt to Carney’s skills. “Mikey was probably one of the first athletic quarterbacks to come to St. Thomas More and once he came in they pretty well changed their offence to suit him.” see MalCOlM, page 46
MARIO BARTEL/BLAck PREss
St. Thomas More quarterback Chase Malcolm of Port Coquitlam drops back for a pass during practice on Tuesday. He says one of the reasons he chose to attend the school is their passing offense adopted when Mikey Carney led the team.
rogers receives gymastics award Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’ s Brittany Rogers won the Kate Richardson Outstanding Female Athlete of the Year award at the Gymnastics BC annual awards reception earlier this week. According to a press release Rogers, who was also honoured for her contributions to Canada’s Olympic gymnastics team, received the award for her comeback from injury this year.

Coquitlam’s Helga Ovington was named a Life Member of the association for her work in the development and growth of the Wings Gymnastics in Burnaby. Coquitlam’s Sandra Hartley won National Stream Athlete of the Year, while Svetlana Lashina and Vladimir Lashin, also of Coquitlam, won the Sev Heiberg National Stream Coaches of the Year award.

Kodiaks rack up another win at Handsworth tourney PoMo volleyball team has eye on provincial championship title By Gary McKenna The Tri-ciTy News
The Heritage Woods Kodiaks senior girls volleyball team took home a
championship banner at the Handsworth Royals Invitational Tournament in North Vancouver last weekend. The team dominated the Friday pool, advancing to Saturday’s elimination game, where they defeated the AAA top ranked Seaquam secondary in two straight sets.
In the second game of the day, the Kodiaks defeated Tri-City rivals the Riverside Rapids 25-15 and 25-13 to earn their way into the finals. The championship game against Earl Marriott secondary was a nail biter for the Port Moody club, who won the first set 25-14 but dropped the next 25-22
despite taking an early lead. But the Kodiaks were able to overcome the setback in a tie-breaker, where they defeated their opponents 15-9 to win first place in the tournament. The Handsworth tournament was not the first time the Kodiaks have had success since the
season began. Heritage Woods finished on top at the UBC-Mizuno Classic and the Trinity Western University Invitational in the last few weeks. In league play the club is undefeated with a 7-0 record and have their sights set on a provincial championship banner. sports@tricitynews.com

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SOCCER PLAYERS of the WEEK FEMALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: TAYLOR THOMAS -
COQUITLAM METRO-FORD INFINITI The Under 16 Metro-Ford Infiniti defeated the top team in their division—Guildford Athletic Club—by a narrow, but well-earned 1-0 margin this past weekend. The entire Infiniti team played extremely well, defending tenaciously and counter-attacking dangerously. However, without the stellar performance of goalkeeper TAYLOR THOMAS, the Infiniti girls would have had difficulty in claiming all 3 points. Taylor made several excellent saves in the first half and what could be defined as a miracle stop in the second half. For her excellent performance this past weekend, TAYLOR THOMAS has been named Coquitlam Metro-Ford female player of the week.

MALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: STEFFEN MOSAITES –
COQUITLAM METRO-FORD NITRO Throughout the season, STEFFEN MOSAITES has battled hard to help the Under 16 Nitro team as he has played in several different positions in helping his squad push through some tough losses. Steffen has also been called up to help the Under 16 Metro team and, with his tireless work ethic, has helped the team immensely. He has proven to be a true and invaluable leader, mostly due to his indomitable grit and tenacity. For his remarkable performances during the early part of the season, STEFFEN MOSAITES has been selected as Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week!

“And once they decided to change that for him I decided to go here,”said Malcolm. When he moved up to junior varsity in Grade 9, they already had a quarterback, Giovanni Trasolini, who had led STM to the Grade 8 final the year before Malcolm a r r i v e d . Tr a s o l i n i , though, didn’t want to be a QB. He wanted to be the guy catching the passes, not throwing them. A t s i x - f o o t - f o u r, Trasolini has turned into an enticing target for Malcolm. Receiver Malcolm Lee, who is six-foot-two, is also a favourite along with running back Jalen Jana and tight end Kevin Marshall, all of whom are in Grade 11 and won the provincial AAA championship last year. They also play a lot of

“Football will always be my favourite sport because it’s been that way ever since I was six years old.” Chase Malcolm flag football together, notes Knights head coach Bernie Kully. “It’s a case of recognizing we have certain guys that can do certain things, and utilizing them to your advantage,” said Kully, who credits offensive coordinator Joe Adams for making a lot of the changes to emphasize passing. Two weeks ago the Knights defeated the Te r ry Fo x R ave n s 36-6 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex in a
game where West really showed off the air attack. Malcolm threw for 302 yards and three touchdowns, exceptional numbers for a high school quarterback. “It was impressive,” said Kully. Two of those TD tosses and 152 of the yards went to Trasolini. On one score, the Knights were backed up close to their own end zone when Malcolm reared back and threw it about 40 yards into Trasolini’s arms who romped the rest of the way. “It was pretty awesome, but it wasn’t just me,” said Malcolm of his performance. The PoCo quarterback also had a good showing last Friday, when STM defeated the Centennial Centaurs 46-6. He’s even learning at home by watch-
ing a lot of pro football. His favourite QB is Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints, who like Malcolm, is five-foot-11. Malcolm is blown away by Brees’ skill, knowledge and ability to succeed at an elite level despite having to throw around and over six-foot-eight behemoths. Malcolm also has a passion for lacrosse and holds out some hope he might be able to play both sports at the college level. He plays for the Port Coquitlam Saints intermediate ‘A’ team and was named tournament MVP at the under-16 field lacrosse championships earlier this year. “A dual scholarship would be unreal, but it’s pretty hard to get one of those,” he said. “But football will always be my favourite sport because it’s been that way ever
since I was six years old.” This year there are four or five teams all in a good position to win the provincial championship. STM is just starting to round into form after starting the season with injuries to key people. Running back and linebacker Elliott Nelson, the 2011 B.C. Grade 11 player of the year, missed four games with a knee injury while Lee had a hip problem and Jalen broke a bone in his leg in the summer. “We’ve found more adversity already in the first month than what last year’s team did until November,” said Kully of the 2011 squad that went into the playoffs ranked No. 1 in the province before losing in the semifinals to Victoria’s Mount Douglas. “We didn’t how to handle it.”
Coq. Edge hang HOME IMPROVEMENT SPECIALISTS BUSINESS OF THE WEEK on to first place COUNTERTOP & CABINET DOOR
The Coquitlam MetroFord Edge managed to hang on to first place in the under-16 minor soccer standings after two tough games on the weekend. On Saturday the Coquitlam club took on the second-place West Coast Impact, crawling back from a 1-0 deficit to hold the league rivals to a 2-2 tie. The Impact jumped out to an early lead in the first half but the Edge were able to keep up the pressure and eventually evened the score with a a goal from Cassie Weimer. West Coast re-took the lead off a corner kick header, but the Edge was again able to capitalize on a passing play started by Brittney Pastulovic. She was able to get the ball to Liz Stewart who found an open Lauren Best who buried the ball in the back of the net. Wi t h S a t u r d a y ’ s tie, the Edge needed a win against the West Vancouver Avalanche on Sunday to maintain first in the league. Coquitlam’s Caitlyn Ledger and Justyna Pomalecki staked the Edge a 2-0 lead in the first half before central defender Annelise Denny added another insurance marker in the second. Great goal keeping by Angela Webster kept the West Van club off the scoreboard and Coquitlam was able to walk away with a 3-0 win.
TNT EXPLODES
The Coquitlam MetroFord TNT under-14 girls soccer gold club earned a split in its weekend games. On Friday, the club
defeated the Langley FC Piranhas 2-1 with goals coming off the foot of Cristina Danielli in the second half. The club had a harder time on offence on Sunday when they lost 1-0 to the Ladner Pumas.
FIELD HOCKEY
S y d n e y Ve l j a c i c scored a hat trick as the Gleneagle Talons defeated the Heritage Woods Kodiaks in senior girls field hockey last week. The Talons’ Morgan Anson added an insurance marker to help her team defeat the Port Moody club 4-2. Both teams are preparing for the AAA tournament next month at Coquitlam Town Centre’ Park’s Mobilio, Cunnings and Fridge fields between Nov. 14 and Nov. 16. The AAA tourney will not be the only field hockey event taking place in Coquitlam next month. On Nov. 4, the field hockey community will gather at Cunnings Field for a match between the Tri-City Eagles Field Hockey Club’s senior women’s team against a squad made up of local high school all-stars. All of the participants will be raising funds for the BC Cancer Foundation, pursuing their goal of collecting $3,500. The event was inspired by the Canadian Women’s National Field Hockey Team’s Came for the Cure in 2009, where more than $30,000 was raised. The fourth annual event will take place on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 4 p.m. at Cunnings Field at Town Centre Park.
