Christmas in Port Coquitla m

Bylaw to help victims, bullies ‘Be Someone’ is launched in PoCo By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

MARIO BARTEL/BLACK PRESS

Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils players celebrate their victory over the Terry Fox Ravens in the championship match at the B.C. AAA high school soccer provincials on Saturday at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex. For more on the Coquitlam school’s win over its crosstown rivals from Port Coquitlam, see Sports, page A30.

Police will have new powers in dealing with bullying behaviour in Port Coquitlam under a new program designed to provide support and resources for both victims and bullies. Called Be Someone, the campaign — developed by PoCo business leader Gary Mauris with the support of PoCo Mayor Greg Moore — will provide B.C.’s first anti-bullying bylaw. Moore told community leaders and students at the campaign launch at Riverside secondary Tuesday that the bylaw will be modelled after similar legislation in Alberta and Saskatchewan. see ‘BULLYING’, page A7

Plehanov acquitted of sex crimes Reasonable doubt that touching was sexual, says judge By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Former Coquitlam substitute teacher Aleksandr Plehanov has been acquitted on charges he sexually assaulted a handful of students in schools throughout the district. Judge David St. Pierre

said the Crown had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Plehanov intended to touch the girls, who were seven and eight years old at the time, in a sexual manner. “It was clear from the evidence that Mr. Plehanov either was completely ignorant of or ignored the parameters and boundaries that were expected of a teacher by the school board and/or the teaching college relat-

ing to appropriate contact between a teacher and students,” St. Pierre said in B.C. Provincial Court in Port Coquitlam Monday morning. He went on to describe Plehanov as a “clearly ineffectual teacher”in a substitute role and said “certain contact is expected” in a classroom. While it may not raise any eyebrows to have a kindergarten teacher put a student on his or her lap, St.

Plehanov, a Burnaby resident, is alleged to have touched students inappropriately soon after he started teaching in School District 43 in 2007. see ‘ALL THESE’, page A3

PoCoMo head says stable funding needed to help youths By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A program supporting vulnerable Tri-City youth is facing its own troubles after failing to secure stable, long-term funding. P o C o M o Yo u t h Services Society has taken its bus off the road one weekend a month because of funding difficulties and may be facing more cuts early next year, according to executive director Jerome Bouvier. The agency’s funding troubles come at a time when it is receiving accolades for its work with at-risk youth, including a Diamond Jubilee medal presented to Bouvier ear-

businesses, but said the society, which provides support and referral to youth it meets at night on weekends in schools and parks, needs a stable source of funding so the program can continue

and even grow. “The awards are wonderful, we really appreciate them, but it doesn’t put gas in the bus,” Bouvier said. While funding is tight everywhere, Bouvier is

hoping a meeting with Children and Families Minister Stephanie Cadieux will shake some funding loose from the provincial government. Still, he’s concerned that uncertainty due to next

May’s provincial election will result in PoCoMo’s needs being put on the back-burner. According to Bouvier, it costs $125,000 a year to run the bus and pay for 12 part-time youth workers but PoCoMo only has enough in grants to last another six months. “We go from grant to grant,”Bouvier said. He said he’s frustrated that after eight years providing service to the community, he can’t secure a long-term funding commitment that would enable the society provide consistent, continuous service. Most of the youth he and the other counsellors see are among the

most vulnerable, many of them are “cutters” who injure themselves. “We’re dealing with a lot of young people who are struggling,” he said, noting that the weekend after Amanda Todd’s suicide, the PoCoMo counsellors met with about 60 kids “just to talk and share their own pains... For every Amanda, we have eight or nine who are struggling.” In one bright spot, PoCoMo received a grant from an Alberta donor to hire a case manager, who, Bouvier said, started the job a month ago and already has 12 kids on her case load. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

‘All these children did the right thing’ continued from front page The touching reportedly included girls sitting on Plehanov’s lap and him touching their shoulders, bottoms, stomachs and lower pelvic area, and is alleged to have continued until the parents of one girl reported the incident to police in March 2010. Plehanov was arrested about a week later and charged with 10 counts of sexual interference of a person under 16 and sexual assault involving five complainants. He was also charged with criminal harassment in connection with an alleged incident in June 2010, when he was said to have been spotted in his car outside the home of one of the complainants. St. Pierre said although he accepted it was Plehanov in the car, there was no compelling evidence Plehanov knew one of the complainants lived there. During the 13-day trial, which started in January and wrapped up in July, the Crown argued the incidents allegedly occurred after Plehanov was warned several times that some of his contact with the children was inappropriate, and that the court could therefore conclude the contact was for a sexual purpose and not a matter of an unskilled teacher not understanding the boundaries. Judge St. Pierre concluded the evidence presented in the trial was unreliable. “I have no doubt that all

Scott Sutherland said Plehanov’s acquittal Monday by a provincial court judge does not mean his teaching certificate will be automatically reinstated and the Coquitlam substitute teacher would have to face a public hearing before any decision is made.“There’s still a regulatory process he needs to go through before his suspension would be of the children attempted to provide their evidence in as honest a fashion as they could under the circumstances,” he said. And while he accepted that two of the girls sat on Plehanov’s lap, it was impossible to say whether any further contact took place and, if it did, whether it was incidental or could be proven as criminal. Evidence from the alleged incidents at Glen elementary was particularly unreliable, the judge said, because the girls talked about what happened while sitting on the sofa in the classroom. On the sexual assault charges, St. Pierre said, the Crown failed to prove the touching was sexual in nature and that the sexual integrity of the victim had

overturned,”he said. In May 2010, the former BC College of Teachers suspended Plehanov’s certificate pending the outcome of a hearing, and the hearing must still take place before any future reconsideration of his credentials. It’s not known, however, when or even if this hearing will take place, and Sutherland said Plehanov may choose not to proceed.“I think it will be incumbent upon him to say,‘I’m willing to go through this hearing process and have my certificate reinstated.’ been violated. Outside the court, defence lawyer Lisa Jean Helps said the administration of justice was upheld and that her client was happy with the results. “He is of course ecstatic, he has maintained his innocence from the beginning,” Helps said. She could not say what steps, if any, Plehanov would take regarding the future of his teaching career. The mothers of three of the girls said the verdict was a great disappointment but not surprising, given the complexity of the case. “However... this was not a waste of time,” said one mother. “It really does drive home that it takes a lot of courage to do the right thing.

the right thing: They went home, they told their parents, they talked about it.” They said they would be explaining the verdict “carefully” to their daughters while praising their strength and courage to do the right thing. “They told the truth and they were honest,” one mother said. She also expressed hope that districts throughout the province will use the case to develop better processes to handle similar incidents in the future and that School District 43, in particular, had learned some lessons. Crown counsel Wendy van Tongeren Harvey couldn’t say whether she would be appealing the case. spayne@tricitynews.com

New SD43 protocols By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Aleksandr Plehanov’s future with School District 43 is uncertain despite his acquittal Monday of all charges by a provincial court judge. Ju d g e D av i d S t . Pierre found the former Coquitlam substitute teacher not guilt of sexually assaulting and touching five young female students. SD43 superintendent Tom Grant said Monday he had not yet read the entire judgement but trusts the decision by Judge St. Pierre. “From his perspective, the information did not reach a standard that could prove guilt in this case,” Grant said. “We now have to re-engage with Mr. Plehanov since he is an employee and we have not completed our investigations. We will be going forward with those at this point.” The district suspended Plehanov from his substitute teaching job in March 2010 but was unable to conclude its investigation because of the RCMP’s investigation, which resulted in criminal charges being laid. Grant said it could take some time before any decisions about Plehanov’s employability and status are resolved, noting the

Aleksandr Plehanov is still technically a SD43 employee. district will also wait to see if the Crown files an appeal of his acquittal. “If it’s appealed, we will not pre-judge the results from that, we are going to be careful on how we go forward,” Grant said, noting that the district will be working with the Teacher Regulation Branch, formerly the BC College of Teachers, on the file (see sidebar at left). The district is now requiring principals to contact an assistant superintendent and a human resources manager in complex cases involving possible misconduct of a sexual or physical nature. “They review the information and then make decisions [about] where to go with the case. If the complaint is of a sexual or physical nature that can be considered criminal, it’s reported to police, they take over the investigation and tell us when

we can conduct ours,” Grant said. In addition to adding the extra layer of reporting, the district has also stepped up its training with administrators so they understand all the steps, Grant said, adding, “We have ensured our policies on reporting around misconduct are aligned with the province, the requirements and community expectations.” He said the district’s priority continues to be ensuring the safety of its students. “It’s regrettable that we went through this,” he said. “It put some undue strain on students and parents, for sure, and teachers and the profession. “We trust the judge’s decision and we look forward to making sure everyone understands our protocols and practices.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Beedie wants 1,000 more units at Fraser Mills site By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

A waterfront village planned along the Fraser River in Coquitlam could have 1,000 more homes than first planned. This week, the city’s council-in-committee heard from the Beedie Group, the developer planning to transform Fraser Mills into a Granville Island-type residential and commercial hub. Beedie’s Dave Gormley told the committee the company wants to bump the number of homes on its 89acre site from 3,700 to a maximum of 4,700. “At the end of the day, it will likely be somewhere in the middle,” he said on Monday.

Gormley said Beedie wants to build smaller units to meet market trends, and the change wouldn’t affect density on the site (Beedie is not proposing to increase the maximum permitted gross residential floor area, according to a city staff report). Still, city councillors said smaller units aren’t the way to go in Coquitlam. Many emptynesters and seniors are looking to downsize and

Mary Hill was originally proposed as the site of the new British Columbia University in 1910, but was passed over in favour of the current UBC campus location at Point Grey.

• 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. BC MEDICAL COVERAGE AVAILABLE

Residents of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Anmore and Belcarra can fill out an online survey that asks participants to prioritize issues such as reducing property crime, dealing with distracted and speeding drivers, and stopping the sale of ille-

gal drugs. Residents are also asked for ideas on how the RCMP can do a better job in their community and whether they’ve had any direct contact with the RCMP in the past year. The survey is part of the Mounties’ 20122015 Strategic Plan, which will guide decisions on how best to use limited resources. “We are in the midpoint of a three-year plan and it’s important

#4 - 2185 Wilson Ave., Port Coquitlam, B.C.

Council for the City of Coquitlam will be receiving written submissions from the public concerning the proposed Intermunicipal Business Licence Bylaw No. 4355, 2012 (the “Bylaw”).

City hopes 1.35 is magic no. for parking Evergreen Line to bring parking challenges By Janis Warren ThE Tri-CiTy NEws

Coquitlam council hopes it has found the “sweet spot” when it comes to parking around the Evergreen Line. This week, city council gave three readings for proposed parking policies that will see a 10% reduction in new buildings close to the rapid-transit line in the Lougheed, Burquitlam and City Centre areas. Under the rules, which have yet to be adopted by council, the number of parking stalls for twobedroom suites built in the so-called “core and shoulder zones” would drop from 1.5 to 1.35 stalls. As well, under the Tr a n s i t - O r i e n t e d Development Strategy (TDS), developers that want even less parking — up to 5% more — could take part in a new program that would see residents of their buildings offered transit incentives such as passes and shared car rides. And for developers that want further parking reductions, they can pay

$20,000 per stall of the TDS. not provided as At a public part of a cash-inhearing Monday, lieu program (revPeter Santoro, enue from that a policy analyst program would with the Urban fund future public Development parking and tran- MAE REID Institute, sugsit infrastructure gested Coquitlam around Evergreen). tighten its parking rules The parking crunch more to be in line with around the Evergreen other Metro Vancouver Line — due to be built suburbs that have rapid from Lougheed Town transit, which typically Centre in Burnaby to City have 1.24 parking stalls Centre in Coquitlam by for two-bedroom suites, the summer of 2016 — located around transit has been a source of con- hubs. tention for many months.

provements. Nicholson also pressed city staff to start its parking management strategy study as soon as possible, given that residents in the shoulder areas are anxious about how the Evergreen park-

ing will affect them. The city is looking at a number of options for the shoulder areas, including parking time limits, residential parking permits and public parking lots, said Catherine Mohoruk, Coquitlam’s manager of

transportation planning. City staff will outline its work plan for Evergreen parking studies before council considers fourth and final reading, which is expected next month. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Ambition beats commitment

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

ne year ago, Selina Robinson and Linda Reimer asked for your vote. Next spring, they’ll ask for your vote again.Your money, too. Robinson and Reimer are Coquitlam city councillors. Each announced her plan to run for council in October 2011. Each was re-elected on Nov. 19, 2011, Robinson topping the polls among eight winners and 16 council candidates, Reimer placing third. In all, 9,635 Coquitlam residents voted for Robinson, 9,093 for Reimer. Coquitlam voters didn’t know at the time that both would see a political opportunity and — those same 9,000-plus voters be damned — go for it. In September, Robinson announced she would run for the NDP nomination to replace Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Diane Thorne. This week, Reimer announced she would run for the BC Liberal nomination in the riding of Port MoodyCoquitlam to challenge NDP MLA Joe Trasolini, who, it should be noted, finished his term as PoMo mayor before running for the NDP in a provincial byelection. If one or both wins in the May 2013 provincial election — just 18 months after they ran for office, or halfway through the three-year terms to which they committed when sworn in last December — a byelection will need to be called in Coquitlam. The last Coquitlam byelection — held in May 2010 after Fin Donnelly resigned his council job, also halfway through his council term, after he won the New WestminsterCoquitlam MP’s seat for the NDP in a 2009 federal byelection — cost Coquitlam taxpayers about $125,000 and a city official said a byelection this term would cost about the same. Asked about abandoning Coquitlam voters, Robinson told The Tri-City News in September that it “doesn’t feel good but I also believe that I’m the best candidate to represent the citizens of our community inVictoria.” Reimer this week said,“It’s a chance to represent my constituents at the provincial level. It’s a new experience. It’s a growth.” “Represent the citizens”and“growth”? Poppycock. This is political ambition and, clearly, ambition trumps the commitment of councillors Reimer and Robinson to the people of Coquitlam.

The politics of poverty – but not facts – continues BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA .C.’s ritual day of shame over child poverty has come and gone once again, with politicians trading blame and time-worn talking points. The occasion was an annual gathering staged at the BC Teachers’ Federation office in downtownVancouver. It is organized by First Call, an umbrella group sponsored by the BCTF, the BC Government Employees’ Union and a collection of like-minded“antipoverty activists,”as they describe themselves in their latest report. The familiar script unfolded.The report misinterprets federal income statistics from two years ago and calls for a long list of uncosted, but hugely expensive, measures that they assert will make B.C. the first jurisdiction in human history to eradicate poverty. A sampling: • Provide raises for employees and contractors at all levels of government until they are

making an unspecified“living wage”because we all know how public sector workers uniquely suffer from pay and pension inequality. • Raise the minimum wage again and index it to inflation. • Establish universal public dental care, prescription drug and eye care programs, and daycare. (Dismiss targeted programs that already provide this.) • Raise welfare rates and expand eligibility for employment insurance. • Cut tuition and provide more student grants. • Eliminate homelessness. And so it continues toward a socialist utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already deeply in the red. I wrote about these numbers when Statistics Canada released them back in June. They showed a modest improvement nationally and provincially in what they measure — which is not poverty but the relative relationship between income groups. First Call dismisses that improvement as“a dismal record.” My point is not to deny that there are many

poor people in B.C. and Canada. There are. But at this point, we don’t even have a reliable way of measuring the problem, let alone effective solutions. The report states:“Statistics Canada said the child poverty rate in Greater Vancouver was 18.4% in 2010…”No, Statistics Canada didn’t say that. It said what it always says, that“lowincome cut-off,”or LICO figures, are not an accurate measure of poverty. The political response was equally predictable.Veteran NDP MP Libby Davies led the charge in Ottawa. The government must establish a national anti-poverty strategy with firm annual goals, she said, reciting the identical script of the BC NDP. Davies didn’t mention that Manitoba is among the provinces with such a plan and it’s the only province that finished below B.C. in the percentage of children living in lowincome homes. These plans are mainly gesture politics, providing the appearance of action. Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux spoke on behalf of the BC Liberal government, and she, too, stuck to a familiar

script: The best path out of poverty is a job, she said. This is true, but also obvious. Then Cadieux went on about the“B.C. Jobs Plan,”which has its own sorry record of misrepresented federal statistics. Here’s one of the report’s more blindingly obvious section headings:“Child poverty concentrated in big cities.”No kidding — the whole population is concentrated in big cities. Herein lies a clue that is missed by“activists” for ever-larger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places. If I’m on welfare or working in a low-wage job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy (one of those things LICO doesn’t measure), should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller community where housing is cheaper? There are lots of complications to this but some kind of incentive to relocate could help large and small communities.

Merry Christmas The Editor, My spiritual beliefs transcend the boundaries of any one religion but I’ve always celebrated Christmas. Can we please honour the reason for the season and restore “Merry Christmas” to its rightful place in our society? We don’t say “Happy Holidays” to others at Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or Diwali or Easter, or any other celebration arising from the many religions practised in Canada. Instead of resorting to bland terms we hope will offend no one, let’s honour each celebration with its proper name and embrace, or at least respect, them all.That is our Canadian way. Linda Baker, Port Coquitlam

PoCo on-side for reg. business licence plan New licence for contractors, other biz operators By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

An inter-municipal business licensing system that would allow entrepreneurs to operate in each of the Tri-Cities under a single permit is one step closer to being adopted. On Monday, Port Coquitlam councillors voted unanimously in favour of adopting the licensing process, for which the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce has been lobbying for most of the year. Currently, mobile businesses such as contractors, plumbers and caterers, are required to purchase a licence in each of the three cities in order to operate legally. The new initiative would enable business owners to operate across Tri-City boundaries for a $165 fee on top of their annual business licence permit costs. Business owners are

still required to purchase a standard licence in the city where their office or shop is located. “This bylaw will allow mobile businesses to purchase a single add-on licence to conduct business on a mobile basis in each of the three municipalities,” said Dan Scoones, Port Coquitlam’s manager of bylaw services. “The municipalities of Coquitlam and Port Moody are, as we speak, considering the same bylaw.” The licence is expected to generate increased revenue for each of the cities because it will be easier for businesses to comply with licensing requirements. A Tri-Cities task force that has been working on the project since April sought help from the provincial government on a revenue-splitting formula for the new fee. Under that formula, Coquitlam will receive 29% of the revenues while Port Coquitlam will get 18% and Port Moody 53% to avoid any revenue loss from current levels.

Charged up in PoCo What came first: the electric car or the charging station? That is the question being asked in the city of Port Coquitlam, which recently identified 32 locations that could house plug-in facilities for low-emission automobiles. But that does not necessarily mean charging stations will be popping up in PoCo anytime soon, according to Coun. Brad West, chair of city’s environmental enhancement committee. “It is really about taking a pragmatic approach to the issue,”he said.“We have to anticipate the potential demand in the future so we are not caught off guard. But at the same time, we have to be grounded in the current reality... there is not a heck of a lot of [electric vehicles] out there now.” You can comment on The 32 locations any story you read at were identified as www.tricitynews.com part of a regional planning study that will look at the feasibility of adding electric vehicle charging stations across the Lower Mainland. Some of the locations identified in PoCo included community facilities, retail areas in the Dominion Triangle and industrial areas. Provincial incentives of up to $4,000 are being made available for private businesses that wish to host charging stations on their property.

A group working together to promote environmental sustainability in the Coquitlam River watershed has invited a noted author to speak on building community resiliency in the face of global change. Tomorrow (Thursday), Michael Lewis will offer insights from his new book in a talk titled “Global Unraveling: Pathways to Resilience Close to Home;” the event starts at 7 p.m. in the Gathering Place (1100-2253 Leigh Sq.) in Port Coquitlam. Following his presentation, audience members will be invited to participate in a discussion. The presentation is the first in a series of watershed cafés’ organized by the Coquitlam River Watershed Roundtable to talk about important issues facing communities bordering the river. Lewis founded the Canadian Centre for Community Renewal and recently coauthored a book with U.K.-based author Pat Conaty called The Resilience Imperative: Cooperative Transitions to a Steady State Economy. According to Lewis, climate change, fossil-fuel dependence and globalization make economies “very vulnerable to unraveling” and communities will have to figure out ways to meet basic needs on a more local and regional basis. More information about the Coquitlam River Watershed Roundtable is available at www.coquitlamriverwatershed.ca.

Premier vows to balance budget No info on how 2013 budget will be balanced THE TRI-CITY NEWS

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Speaking to a business crowd yesterday in Coquitlam, Premier Christy Clark delivered a bottom-line message, vowing to balance the provincial budget in 2013. Clark made the announcement at a luncheon hosted by the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce as part of a speech in which she emphasized the need for government to keep the economy strong for the sake of working families. “We have to make sure we respect taxpayers, and balancing the budget is the best way to do that because it ensures we take away as little as possible from families while ensuring we provide the services they need,” Clark said in a speech at the Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club. And while Clark cited results of her g ove r n m e n t ’ s B C Jobs Plan — 46,000 new jobs, 25% increased trade with China, $85-billion in

Parking rules for new Coquitlam triplexes and fourplexes were tested this week as city council debated a bid for a strata development. Recently, council set parking guidelines for proposals brought under Housing Choices — a strategy aimed to infill older and larger lots in Coquitlam — and set the policy at 1.5 parking spots for every unit built. But on M o n d ay, after a public hearing, councillors Brent Asmundson, Craig HODGE Hodge and Mae R e i d criticized Architype Design for not providing what they O’NEILL thought was sufficient parking for a fourplex planned for 279 Tenby St., saying the cul-de-sac is already jammed. Hodge said he had visited the area to see the vehicles parked on the road. And he contended the area, south of Alderson Avenue, is poorly serviced by transit and new residents would need multiple cars to get around. Still, councillors Neal Nicholson, Terry O’Neill and Selina Robinson said Architype was offering more than the minimum, providing eight on-site stalls rather than six. “To turn [the application] down is not abiding by our own parking requirements,” Robinson said, adding, “To penalize a developer who has gone above and beyond is not appropriate.” Said O’Neill, “I think this is a real test here.... Our reputation is on the line. I’m voting in favour of this because it means we are going to stand by our word.” With Mayor Richard Stewart absent and Coun. Lou Sekora also in favour, council granted final reading to the rezoning. Also on Monday, council approved a second Architype Design bid under the Housing Choices category to rezone 910 Delestre Ave. for a fourplex. The vote also came following a public hearing. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Cities prep to celebrate centennials – and volunteers are still needed Variety of 100th birthday events planned for 2013 in PoCo & PoMo By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy NewS

he clocking is ticking ever closer to the centennial celebration events in both Port Moody and Port Coquitlam, and organizers are now asking for event volunteers. “We pretty much have enough volunteers for the planning portion of it but during the events, we’re certainly looking for people that can help us out and engage the community more,” said PoMo Coun. Gerry Nuttall, who chairs the city’s centennial committee. He said volunteers are needed for the June 22, 2013 parade to walk alongside the floats, help with marshalling and possibly to act as characters, as well as for the special council meeting on April 7, which will recreate PoMo’s first-ever council meeting. “It’s sort-of a mock meeting, where we’ll be bringing out issues of the day and perhaps asking for volunteers dressed in period costume who might want to stand up and present an issue to council,”Nuttall said. The committee is asking for anyone interested in helping out at a variety of events to check out the Centennial Celebration page on the city’s website (www.portmoody.ca). So far, the calendar of events includes the Penguin Plunge on Jan. 1, 2013, where there will be roving entertainers, cupcakes and a historical tent full of displays, followed by the Living Heritage Project with a human library, afternoon tea and listening stations

HELP OUT

Interested in helping out for centennial celebrations? Here’s where you can find information on volunteering:

• www.portmoody.ca • www.portcoquitlam. ca/100

on March 2. Additional events include: special council meeting (April 7), youth council meeting (May 21), Yarilo centennial concert (June 16), parade and Aboriginal Day celebrations (June 22), Celebration of Wood (July 20) and the community picnic (Aug. 17). Events without dates scheduled yet include the centennial wall hanging, community block parties and a historical play. In Port Coquitlam, residents will be celebrating 100 years of PoCo pride starting with a 100th birthday launch on Jan. 4, a party on March 7, an afternoon of stories on March 16 at Terry Fox Library and a centennial fashion show on March 28. The May Day block party is on May 10, followed by the Rotary May Day parade on May 11. PoCo Spirit Committee deputy chair Nigel Lark (The Tri-City News’ publisher) said the group has all the organizing volunteers it needs but people are still needed to help out at specific events. “It’s a chance to be part of something that only comes around once every 100 years,” Lark said. “To be here and not participate, you would be missing the chance of a lifetime.” Anybody interested in volunteering for PoCo events can email 100years@portcoquitlam. ca or visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/100.

Port Moody centennial committee members, including (from left) Nicki Forster, Robert Simons, David Spence, Susan Ius and Coun. Gerry Nuttall, are calling for volunteers to help out at centenary events throughout the year, starting with the Penguin Plunge at Rocky Point Park on Jan. 1, 2013.

thinks he has everything put on, his mother calls out to remind him about one important piece of clothing: his underwear. Kids will relate to the trials of putting on so many layers and crack up at the punchline.The comical illustrations, exaggerated dialogue and expressive action sounds will make this story popular in any household. • Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson, illustrated by Jane Chapman: Nothing could be cozier than a warm fire, a fresh pot of tea and a bowl of hot popcorn — even if it is in a bear’s den. Mouse, badger and rabbit sneak into bear’s den when he’s hibernating.They make a fire, brew some tea,

pop some popcorn and happily snack on nuts, all while the bear snoozes soundly. Eventually, the bear wakes up and instead of being mad, he’s upset that he missed all of the fun. Luckily, his friends are happy to stay and continue the party with him.Told in rhyming verse with rhythmic repeating lines, this story begs to be read aloud. • Ten on the Sled by Kim Norman, illustrated by Liza Woodruff: This goofy book will be loved by any fan of the song “Ten in the Bed.”Ten arctic animals are crowded on a sled. As they zip down the hill, each animal tumbles hilariously out until only the goggle-clad Caribou is left. Clever cartoon-like

drawings (a walrus in earmuffs!) and deft alliteration make this sleigh ride so much fun that, like a real sleigh ride, you’ll want to go again. • Winter is the Warmest Season by Lauren Stringer:Yes, the temperature is plummeting but we shouldn’t be cold.This book is a reminder that the frostiest winter night can be toasty inside. All of the things that make the winter warm are beautifully displayed. Down-filled jackets, woolly sweaters and mittens, fuzzy boots, roaring fires, cats on laps and heaps of blankets prove the author’s point: Winter really is the warmest season. Grab these books, some hot chocolate and a blanket or two, and settle in for some cozy, cuddly reading. And remember to visit your library for more books that are perfect for sharing.

rrrrrr, it’s cold outside! Which means it’s time to curl up and read together. Here are some great picture books to read with kids: • Snow by Uri Shulevitz: This is a beautiful picture book for any child waiting for snow. Snow tells the story of a child excited to see the first flakes of the year. “It’s snowing!”the child exclaims, although the grown-ups refuse to accept it.“It’s only one flake” they say, and“It’ll melt.” But, as snowflakes do, one sticks to the ground, and then another and another, until the city is white.This simple story and the rich illustrations gracefully invoke the magical feeling of the first snowfall of the year. • Froggy gets Dressed by Jonathan London, illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz: Froggy wakes up in the middle of winter and, even though the snow is deep and he’s supposed to be hibernating, he is determined to get dressed and play outside.The getting dressed part proves to be quite difficult.The first time he makes it outside, he forgets to put on his pants, the next time he forgets his shirt.

Bleed & Feed clinics are set for Tri-Cities Canadian Blood Services’ annual Bleed and Feed is back for the third year in a row and Tri-City residents will have four chances — including two next week — to lend an arm. The program, in partnership with Food Banks BC, is counting on B.C. residents to become “miracle workers” by making more than 14,000 blood donations between Dec. 1 and Jan. 2 and bringing in non-perishable food items for local food banks to help alleviate the hunger felt by nearly 100,000 people. B.C. residents can book a donation appointment by visit-

ing blood.ca or calling 1-888-2DONATE (1-888236-6283). Donated food items will be collected Dec. 1 to 31 in specially marked Bleed and Feed food collection boxes located in the front waiting area of blood donor clinics across the province. Food collected in the Tri-Cities will be donated to the Share Family and Community Services, which runs food banks in the region as well as Christmas hamper and toy programs. “Many families will be celebrating the holidays in hospital this year, while others struggle to have a meal,” said Ed Yee, director of donor and clinic

services for the B.C. and Yukon region of Canadian Blood Services. “We hope to rally B.C. residents together and make the season brighter for more local families in need.” Bleed and Feed clinics in the Tri-Cities area are: • Northside Church (Grace Campus), 2606 Kingsway Ave., Port Coquitlam: Dec. 3, 1 to 8 p.m.; Dec. 31, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; • and Place Maillardville community centre, 1200 Cartier Ave., Coquitlam: Dec. 5, 1 to 8 p.m.; Dec. 30, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. To learn more about your the local food bank, visit http://sharesociety.ca.

Collecting blankets The temperature has dropped but Metro Vancouver realtors are turning up the warmth. The 18th annual Realtors Care Blanket Drive has begun and runs through Monday, Dec. 3. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (along with its Fraser Valley sister association) is collecting gently used blankets, sleeping bags, warm winter clothing and jackets as well as new socks and underwear. You can help by bringing your donations to any one of the participating real estate offices across the Lower Mainland. Donations stay within the communities in which they are donated or, if the volumes are too large, go to charities in greatest need in neighbouring communities. Each year, the Blanket Drive collects enough donations to help protect about 20,000 vulnerable people in the Lower Mainland from the cold, wet winter. Since 1995, the Blanket Drive has supported at least 185,000 people. To see a list of drop-off locations — including 14 in the Tri-Cities — and items most needed, go to: www.blanketdrive.ca. Information is also available at www.facebook.com/blanketdrive and twitter.com/REBGV.

Great stories from dad

eighteen years of tales from the Christmas table By Janis Warren

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam author David E. Burnell with his new 18-story anthology, Dad’s Christmas Stories, published in September by Vivalogue. The book is available at Reflections Books (1111D Austin Ave., Coquitlam) and Renaissance Books (43 Sixth St., New Westminster).

IN HIS WORDS

The Tri-CiTy NeWs

n the early 1980s, David E. Burnell came up with a family Christmas tradition. At the time, he was trying his hand with creative writing, taking night courses here and there, when he suggested to his two sons and daughter that they pen a story to be read out after each holiday meal on Dec. 25. “I was trying to encourage them to write, too,” the Coquitlam author remembered. In the first year, Burnell composed The Doctor’s Legacy. The next season, he came up with A Matter of Honour, a western. He found he could bash out the short stories in about a week, a month before they were due. But his storytelling custom petered out just a few years later, he said, and soon Burnell was the only one of the four to honour his word and to entertain the family with a good, old fashioned festive narrative. This year, Burnell compiled his Christmas tales told over the past 18 Christmas suppers and had them published by Vivalogue of New Westminster as part of an anthology, aptly called Dad’s Christmas Stories. And, despite his limited training in creative writing, the words flow freely and the subject matters are varied and interesting. For example, Christmas and Tom Hobbs tells of the spirit of giving while The Second Horseman deals with war. “It’s the theme that pops into my head first,” said Burnell, a retired engineering technologist.“I get an idea — I don’t know where from — and I build my story and characters around it.” Historical plots are his forte, having grown up near London during the Blitz. His first novel, The Elevator, came to him while travelling in a creaky shaft in Munich; the book centers around Nazi Germany. And, next year, Burnell plans to publish Shades of Blue, a fictional piece about a fatigued Canadian pilot who falls for a doctor’s daughter, also during the Second World War. That work took him 14 months to write — com-

• An except from Christmas and Tom Hobbs: “Some say that the feeling of Christmas moves throughout the world like a ripple on the water, touching all and affecting all, raising spirits and bring joy to everyone in its path. Perhaps this is true and perhaps not. Perhaps the feeling of Christmas is more like thousands of spontaneous but smaller ripples, surging from individuals and affecting those around them and coupling together to form waves of well-being.” • An except from The Rivals: “The new machine stood in the corner of the room, its buff and gray paint shining under the cool white light of a dozen fluorescent lamps. To most people on first acquaintance, such a machine would be a thing to marvel at, but not to Arthur Smith. He eyed the new acquisition with distaste. To him, the glint of its gun metal screen hinted at something evil, as if it was only waiting to replace the men that would aspire to call themselves its master.” pared with seven years for The Elevator — “and I think it’s my best one yet,” he said, laughing that the title “came well before I had ever heard of Fifty Shades of Grey,” the erotic romance that’s been on the NewYork Times’ bestseller list for many months. Meanwhile, Burnell has also been busy finishing his sequel to The Coven of the Unholy, called Satan’s Shadow. As for his Christmas anthology, which was published in September, Burnell has already received good feedback. “People like different stories in the book,” he said, noting The Fickle Lady is his favourite, “and that’s okay with me.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Children’s author dedicates book to daughter When shadows and monsters popped into his preschooler’s bedroom when the lights were turned off for the night, Brian Robinson’s imagination came alive, too. A children’s story played out in his head that would help his then three-year-old daughter to conquer her fears and to calm her nerves before bedtime. Last fall, after mulling over the plot and jotting down some rhymes and illustrations, Robinson overcame his own fear: he finally put pen to paper and wrote the book. And last month, with the help of a few friends with university degrees in English who are skilled at copyediting, Robinson self-published Manfred Under the Bed. “I’m really pleased with it,” the Coquitlam resident said, flipping through the pages he’s read many times over to his two daughters, Brienna, now six, and Kyla, two. In a nutshell, the plot revolves around Brienna, who clings tightly to her Bedtime Bear but, one night, it slips from her clutch, falls to the floor and is swiped by Manfred, a hairy beast who lives under her bed. Brave Brienna plucks up the courage to talk to the

big loaf who, as it turns out, is afraid of her as well. Manfred returns Bedtime Bed and the pair become fast friends after a hug. Still, there’s much more to the children’s book than the plot. Robinson, a graphic artist, digitally handpainted every scene using vibrant colours such as purple, pink, black and yellow. The one-dimensional characters are effective, too: Manfred is depicted with fangs, horns and big hands and feet while Brienna is portrayed as a sweet, wide-eyed girl who is dressed in purple pajamas with a red heart in the centre. “Being an animator, you also have to be storyteller so the illustrations came easy for me,” said Robinson, who studied at the Vancouver Film School and used to work for Electronic Arts and Vanguard. So far, Robinson said, the book has won rave reviews. This month, he read it at two Coquitlam daycares and to students at his former elementary school in Mission. Robinson has printed 500 copies of Manfred Under the Bed and he already has plans to compose his second children’s book. “It’ll be something humorous,”he said. • To buy Manfred Under the Bed, visit amazon.ca or www.brian-robinson.ca.

Gu Xiong’s Becoming Rivers, 2010, acrylic on canvas.

Artist draws parallels with Fraser and Yangtze rivers By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Gu Xiong sees many similarities between the Fraser River and China’s Yangtze River, a waterway on the outer reaches of his hometown of Chongqing, Sichuan. The Fraser once served as a major route to transport workers, including Chinese immigrant labourers, to B.C.’s interior to build the Canadian Pacific Railway. And the Yangtze, too, has been a migration path, especially recently with the building of the Three Gorges Dam that has displaced two million Chinese citizens. “The two rivers are symbols of the flow of life and new identity,” said Xiong, a UBC professor in the department of art history, visual art and theory. This week, Xiong will open his new installation, Coquitlam Waterscapes, at the Evergreen Cultural Centre that parallels the

Calling teen poets “I think that I shall never see/A poem lovely as a tree” wrote Joyce Kilmer more than 100 years ago. And now, Port Moody wants to commemorate the city’s centenary with poetic verse about its history and heritage. The municipality is asking PoMo teens — aged 13 to 18 — to submit their best two poems about the city’s past. The winner of the Centennial Youth Poet Laureate contest will receive $500 and have a poem included in a time capsule. Candidates can apply online by Jan. 31, 2013, at library.portmoody. ca/youthpoet. For more information, call the PoMo Public Library at 604-4694577 or email youth services librarian Maryn Ashdown at mashdown@portmoody.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

watercourses and their shared stories. O n S at u rd ay, Xiong will lead a talk about his mixed media — artwork that includes a giant painting Gu XionG of the Fraser and Yangtze as well as large plywood cut out to resemble Coquitlam Lake; the 3D-piece will have LED lights flooding underneath it. Xiong only recently visited Coquitlam Lake and realized its importance as one of the three reservoirs supplying drinking water to Metro Vancouver. He also recognized the value of the Coquitlam River, which has the Coquitlam Lake at its headwaters, is fishbearing, is within the Kwikwetlem First Nation territory and is a tributary of the Fraser River. “This watershed is so very complex for operational reasons,” the

artist said in an interview last week. “It’s very socially, economically and politically interesting.” Xiong, who fled China in 1989 as a result of his participation in Beijing’s China/Avant Garde show and in the Tiananmen Square demonstrations, said he often looks for geographical links when he creates his installations, finding the commonality in cultures. As his UBC faculty website notes, “The construction of a new level of being is Gu Xiong’s primary interest.” Next month, Xiong plans to display part of Coquitlam Waterscapes at a show in Wuhan. • G u X io n g : Co q u it la m Waterscapes runs Dec. 1 to Jan. 19 in the art gallery at Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). An opening reception will be held on Saturday from 4 to 6, with Xiong speaking about his display from 3 to 4 p.m.

QUICKSILVER

Th e Po r t M o o dy Quicksilver are hoping to get back to their winning ways this week after being dealt a 3-1 loss to the WCAGFC Impact on Sunday. An injury-plagued Quicksilver club could not get any momentum against their opponents, despite the best efforts of Brittany Poulin, who had a terrific strike midway through the game. Julia Palmer did her best on the defensive end, but the Impact still managed to score a pair of goals. Port Moody looked for the equalized but came up short in the end, losing 3-1 to the visiting club. The team will try again this week when they play WestVancouver. sports@tricitynews.com

Blue Devils best Ravens in AAA finals Mobilio’s goal gives Best a 1-0 win at provincial championship By Gary McKenna THE Tri-CiTy NEws

The Dr. Charles Best secondary’s senior soccer team has not had an easy time against TriCity rivals the Terry Fox Ravens this season. But fortunately for the Blue Devils, they found the winning formula just

in time. On Saturday, Best defeated Fox 1-0 in the B.C. high school AAA provincial championship finals, avenging a pair of losses Fox dealt the team earlier in the season. The Ravens downed the Blue Devils during a regular season matchup and ended club’s hopes of winning the Fraser Valley tournament with a win in the quarterfinals. “We had yet to beat them this year,” said Charles Best coach Giovanni Valente. “It was

a great opportunity for us to set things straight against a strong club…. It was nice to get another crack at them.” The Blue Devils kept the Ravens hemmed into their own zone for most of the game, but tight goaltending at both ends of the pitch kept the game close. Best managed to notch the lone goal of the game midway through the second half, when Tyler DeSilva cut the ball across the box to Michael Mobilio, who slotted it in.

“ Th e m i n u t e we scored, the other team became a bit deflated,” Valente said. “We had more opportunities. It could have been two or three nothing. Both goalies made some really timely saves. In the end, we just got the luck on our side for that game.” To get to the finals, Best defeated Handworth and Kitsilano secondary on the first day of the tournament. see JONES, page 31

Coquitlam Viking player Matt Shuen tackles an Abbotsford Falcon during a Vancouver Mainland Football League game at Percy Perry Stadium on Saturday.

Coq. Vikings headed to provincials Team wins semifinal match against Abby The Coquitlam Vikings didn’t let heavy fog cloud their path to victory on Saturday. T h e Va n c o u v e r Mainland Minor Football bantam club managed to notch yet another win, this time coming against the Abbotsford Falcons in the league’s quarterfinal under a thick blanket of fog at Percy Perry Stadium. Th e 3 6 - 6 v i c t o ry means the team will now travel to Langley next week to meet West Kelowna in the provincial championships. On Saturday, the team displayed its usual dominance, scoring three touchdowns in the second quarter, two from

Nico DePaoli and another from Xavion Fleary making it 22-0 at the half. In the third quarter Ken Fuoco and Moe Hassan both had some significant runs, while Dade Motz provided some heavy tackles on defence along with Mario Marra and Mak Stephens. Hassan managed to find the end zone for the Vikings’ fourth touchdown of the game before Abbotsford finally managed to get on the board. Coquitlam’s Matt Shuen managed to widen the score with a fifth touchdown, with the Vikings defeating the Falcons 36-6 by the time the clock ran out. The B.C. championship game will take place in Langley against the West Kelowna Sundevils. sports@tricitynews.com

PoCo hosts high school volleyball tournament The best teams in B.C. high school volleyball will converge on Port Coquitlam this week for the AAAA girls 2012 provincial championship tournament at Riverside secondary. Practices and registration is expected to take place today (Wednesday, Nov. 28) before the opening ceremonies are launched at 9 a.m. on Thursday morning. Pool play will begin later in the day with consolation games and playoffs beginning on Friday. The gold medal match will

is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Saturday with the closing ceremonies expected to take place at 8:30 p.m. Four Tri-City teams will be participating in this year’s tournament, including the Terry Fox Ravens in pool A, the Heritage Woods Kodiaks and Riverside Rapids in pool C and Dr. Charles Best secondary in pool D. Teams in the tournament have come from as far away as Fort St. John and Vancouver Island. For more information go to www.aaaagirlsvballbc.ca.

The Blue Devils continued the winning streak on Friday with two more wins, a 6-0 romp over Correlieu and a 2-1 battle against Fraser Valley champions Tamanawis secondary. That set the stage for Saturday’s tilt against Terry Fox. The Ravens also had some strong games, downing Lord Byng 3-0, Enver Creek 3-1, Burnaby South 3-2 while taking a 2-0 loss to Dover Bay. “It’s five games in three days, so it is not ideal,” Valente said. “We had to change things up and adapt.” Several Blue Devil players were recognized

with individual awards. Kyle Jones was named MVP for the tournament and Nazzareno Russ was given the top goalkeeper honours. But Valente said the whole team should be credited for bringing home the provincial banner and that the stage is

set for the school to have another strong season next year. “We have a lot of people coming up,” he said. “The juniors won their championship as well, so Charles Best is definitely turning into a soccer school.”

Tri-Cities Mobile Business Licenses Close to Reality W

ell, it looks like it is going to happen. The Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam and Port Moody city councils have gone through the first three readings and, so far, all the councils have unanimously passed a by-law that would make the Mobile Business License a reality. The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce has pushed for the Mobile Business License for a number of years. A similar program is already in place in the Okanagan, and the Fraser Valley will be implementing its own program next year. With the adoption of Mobile Business Licensing in the Tri-Cities, local businesses, like contractors and services providers, will be able to purchase an additional license to operate in the other two cities at a reduced rate. This will make it easier and more affordable for businesses to operate in and around their communities.

Mike Hind

A special thanks needs to go to City Councillors Craig Hodge of Coquitlam, Mike Forrest of Port Coquitlam, and Diana Dilworth of Port Moody, who led the committee and staff from all three cities to bring this program to fruition. What I find most encouraging here is that all three cities were able to work together. All three agreed that this project was good for businesses across all three communities. Though we recognize that each city is distinct and unique, there seems to be a strong appetite to work together for the common good. What benefits one community can benefit neighbouring communities as well.

thank you TO OUR SPONSORS:

Following a fourth reading by city councils and adoption of the program, it will be up to local businesses to sign up for the Mobile Business License. This program will be reviewed after the first year and, to ensure it continues, local businesses need to show their support. For the Chamber, this is the first of many solutions to issues facing businesses in the Tri-Cities. We strive to make our community a great place to do business. After all, strong business leads to strong communities. Mike Hind, Executive Director, Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce

This is the time of year when companies want to send out Christmas cards to thank their customers and business associates for their support, and wish them a prosperous upcoming year. Here are a few tips to ensure your customers receive a Christmas card that is both merry and professional: 1. Write content that represents your business. Keep it professional, but include a personal touch to show your appreciation.

Cead mile failte romhat! “A hundred thousand welcomes” hang over the doors and

greet you as you step into Micky’s Irish Public House. Located on Golden Drive in the area surrounded by major arteries United Boulevard, Highway 1 and the Mary Hill Bypass, this has been the perfect hub for a pub since 1989 when the Two Parrots opened. The Joseph Richard Group took the Parrots and converted it to the Irish-inspired Micky’s, making sure to keep the original fireplace custom-made for the old pub, and renovated the rest to bring a warm new look to the favourite watering hole. What’s a ‘Public House’? A Public House is a modern combination of traditional English Pub staples like superb comfort foods and multiple viewing screens, blended with trendy decor accents, and unique product offerings like craft beers and signature cocktails. At this public house, you’ll be able to enjoy the usual dishes like Sliders, Potato Skins and Fish and Chips. Or, you can stray away from the norm with a Quinoa Salad, Wonton Soup or Deep Fried Pickles. For those looking for that rib-sticking Irish fare, try the Bangers and Colcannon or the Guinness Lamb stew. Wash it all down with a pint and settle in to catch the game.

2. Find a designer who’s been trained on all aspects of printing and can create a professional, creative card. Use a local printer the designer is familiar with to ensure quality and service. Hopefully it’s Alliance. 3. Cards are lovely to receive but can use a lot of paper, especially if you have a long client list. Try to use FSC certified recycled paper and help promote responsible forestry. Advertise on the back that you are a proud supporter of a cleaner environment by displaying their logo. 4. Use non-denominational messages. With Canada being a multicultural country with different faiths and beliefs, it’s best to send Happy Holidays or Season’s Greetings to avoid offending the addressee. 5. Christmas is a good time to support a local charity by advertising and sharing your support on your card. Use the charity’s logo and include a line saying “We support”. This will bring awareness to their organization and allow your business to support the charity in other ways than by just giving money.

Happy Holidays, Mary Michaels Alliance Printing

➤ Be a Santa to a Senior with Home Instead Senior Care Holidays are a time for families and friends to gather together and enjoy annual festive traditions. However, for seniors without loved ones and poor financial support, the holiday season can be a very lonely time. That’s why Port Coquitlam’s local Home Instead Senior Care office has partnered with retailers and community organizations to ensure isolated seniors receive gifts and companionship through the Be a Santa to a Senior program. Pick up an ornament from Christmas trees set up across the Tri-Cities, Maple Ridge, and New Westminster. The ornament will include the first name of a senior and their requested gift. These gifts will be collected, wrapped and delivered by dedicated volunteers in the week prior to Christmas. For more information on the Be a Santa to a Senior program please visit www.beasantatoasenior.com. ➤ Vancity opens prototype branch Vancity has redesigned its Port Coquitlam branch in Shaughnessy Station to act as a living lab. It will be used to test new features in Canada’s largest community credit union. The branch also includes large scale art installations commissioned from a local artist to reflect and interpret the rich and diverse culture of that community. It features a large collage work named ‘Torrent’ by Ewan McNeil of East Vancouver and a multi-media piece called ‘Red Fish Up the River’ by Stephanie Harper of Coquitlam. For more information, please visit their website at: www. vancity.com or call 778-837-0394. ➤ Finalists for annual Business Excellence Awards Announced The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the finalists for the 12th annual Business Excellence Awards.

As a Life Coach, I provide personal coaching services to clients who seek support for challenging life transitions, emotional issues, stress management and goal setting strategies-generally anyone who is feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward in life. I work with clients, using innovative techniques, to help them get clear on what they want, help them overcome obstacles, guide and support them along the way and teach them powerful tools so that they feel confident to create the future they want. How did you get into this business? I’ve always had a passion and love for health and wellness and helping to make a difference in people’s lives. While my extensive experience as a Registered Nurse gave me lots of great skills, I realized I wanted to help clients in a completely different, supportive and holistic environment. So, after many years of soul searching and personal development courses, I Patricia McAdam finally discovered what that looked like and took the necessary professional training to do what I love doing now. What is your favourite thing about what you do? If I had to pick one, it would definitely be inspiring and helping to empower clients to make powerful changes in their lives so that they can live a more meaningful, purpose driven life. Who is your ideal customer/client? My ideal clients are between 35-55 years of age (give or take) living in the Tri-Cities or outlying areas and are interested in personal development, are health and wellness oriented and are looking to improve their quality of life by clarifying values, direction and life purpose. Overall, they simply want to make changes in their lives so that they can create and enjoy a more fulfilling life. What’s one thing you would like people to know about your business? I offer a 30 minute complimentary consultation with prospective clients with no obligation to purchase my services.

Townhall Public House Joseph Richard Group – JRG - is a collection of pubs, nightclubs and other ventures owned by André JOSEPH Bourque and Ryan RICHARD Moreno. We’ve opened thirteen establishments together in the last 10 years, constantly fine-tuning our conepts according to the needs of our clientele. We are pleased to offer our second Townhall Public House in the tradition and history rich location of Maillardville. Built in 1934 in the former Jubilee Hotel, The French Quarter pub was one of two original pubs built to service the millworkers occupying the majority of the town. The pub’s main feature, the original antique ceiling and fan system, have been restored to working conditions (minus a few squeaks).

At Townhall Public House, we pair a comfortable atmosphere and exceptional service with really, really good grub. Stop by to watch the game or join us for a drink (fyi, we’ve got more than a dozen beers on tap and 25 craft brews to choose from). We have a hunch that you’ll be enticed to stay and sample one of our classic pub offerings, all prepared from fresh, high-quality ingredients. More than just a pub, we care about the people in our community. That’s why we fundraise for schools and charities, strive to support neighbourhood food producers and keep our communities out of harm’s way by participating in local safety initiatives. With our Townhall design elements, signature menu offerings and our consistent commitment to service, we trust you’ll enjoy your visit with us. Let us be your stomping ground, your escape route, your safe haven, your happy place. And in return, we’ll offer you a night you’ll remember long after the sun comes up. We can’t wait to serve you.

The ILM project is planned to be in-service by January 2015. The ILM project will expand the capacity of the transmission system that brings power from generation sources in the North and Southern Interior so that BC Hydro can continue to deliver clean and reliable energy to homes and businesses in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

Christmas in Port Coquitlam

C2 Wednesday, November 28, 2012, Tri-City News

www.tricitynews.com

in Port Coquitlam The Fragrances of Christmas Some smells seem to be permanently engraved in our memories. Scents synonymous with our fondest childhood memories can take us back through the years in the blink of an eye. A room filled with the scent of cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg will instantly bring to mind Grandma’s gingerbread cookies or Dad’s hot chocolate sprinkled with cinnamon. That’s probably why we rush to stock up with holiday spices and foods that will fill our homes with exotic fragrances. Just think of the oranges we used to find in the bottom of our Christmas stockings, a throwback to earlier days when citrus fruits were precious, rare treats. Indeed, sticking a few cloves into an orange will fill a room with a rich perfume, both sweet and spicy and most definitely Christmassy. To really get into the holiday spirit you can always rely on the wonders of Mother Nature. Start with the fir tree, the king of the forest. To ornament your living room with one of these fragrant beauties, choose a balsam fir — its delicious scent makes it the ideal Christmas tree. Other plants and flowers are also great Christmas traditions: • The poinsettia, also known as the Christmas star, is easily recognized by its impressive, bright red bracts; • Holly, with its prickly leaves and red

berries, which make it the Christmas symbol par excellence; • The Jerusalem cherry or winter cherry produces a multitude of small, colourful berries in November that look appetizing but are toxic; • The Christmas cactus, which bears magnificent flowers on the tips of its branches; • The Christmas kalanchoe, whose flowers come in a range of colours and whose leaves are sometimes tinged with red; • The amaryllis, with its enormous flowers, making it an ideal gift; • Mistletoe, hung from the ceiling and under which tradition demands that two people must kiss.

Hope for the Holidays The fast approaching Holiday Season is an exciting and wonderful time of the year for many of us. For some of us however, it can be a difficult and painful time. Some of us feel isolated, sad and overwhelmed with the pressure to be joyous, particularly following the loss of someone whom we loved. Once again, Crossroads Hospice Society, Riverside Community Church and First Memorial Funeral Services Burkeview Chapel are very proud to host a community “Hope for the Holidays” event. We are coming together to provide a supportive, understanding and caring environment for the people in our communities who are having a difficult time embracing the season. We have some fantastic jazz musicians (Jillian Lebeck and Adam Robert Thomas), some encouraging stories and reflections of hope and faith. There will be an ornament for everyone to place on the Christmas tree in memory of your loved one and then you can take it home at the end of the evening. Fellowship and refreshments to follow. This is a non denominational event and all persons are welcome! Come join us on Tuesday, December 4th at 7:00 p.m. Riverside Community Church, 1477 Lougheed Hwy, Port Coquitlam (From Lougheed Hwy turn North on Ottawa St., turn left at Dominion Ave. and go west to the end of the block, bearing right into the back entrance to the church) This is a completely free event, the church is wheelchair and transit accessible.

in Port Coquitlam Stumped for holiday gift ideas? United Way has 40 feel-good gift ideas

to send by mail, email or download and print.

With just over a month till Christmas and less than 3 weeks to Hanukkah, United Way of the Lower Mainland has 40 gift ideas to help you complete your gift list, make you feel good, and help change lives.

Another option available this year is to create your own wish list and request donations in lieu of presents for the holidays, for your birthday, or even as an easy and unique wedding registry. When you send your wish list to family and friends, you will be entered to win a two night stay for you and guest in Whistler including breakfast courtesy of The Westin Resort and Spa, Whistler. Plus you’ll receive a $100 spa gift certificate courtesy of the Avello Spa, Westin Resort and Spa, Whistler. Contest ends midnight, December 26, 2012. The perfect present can change the future.

This holiday season, imagine receiving the gift of a brighter future for your community with no fuss, no garbage, no gift cards that expire, and no standing in long lines at customer service desks to return gifts. The Imagine Gift Catalogue is a creative and meaningful alternative to traditional gift-giving. There are 40 gift ideas ranging in price from $5 to $1500 that support children and seniors in the Lower Mainland. Each gift in the catalogue represents a program or service that is funded through United Way. For example, for $25, options include helping to give a child a week of nutritious breakfasts, funding a bully prevention workshop, or extending a warm Canadian welcome to an immigrant senior.

FACTS – Charitable giving: ■ 79 per cent of Canadians made a charitable donation in 2012, an increase of more than 10 per cent from 2011. * ■ Average donation in 2012 is $557, up from $487 in 2011.*

All purchases from Imagine are treated like any other charitable contribution and are tax deductible. Gifts purchased online generate an electronic tax receipt as soon as the order is confirmed. Choose to customize a card

■ Women are slightly more likely to make a charitable donation then men (86% of women compared to 82% of men).** ■ Donors in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan give more than donors in other provinces.**

Wishing you a safe, enjoyable and relaxing Christmas with your family. Bring in a non-perishable food item & receive $10.00 off any service. Craig will match all donations item for item for our local Food Bank.

in Port Coquitlam Be a Santa to a Senior!

LEIGH SQUARE COMMUNITY ARTS VILLAGE

The teachers and students at the Westwood Elementary School in Coquitlam are excited to be involved in this year’s “Be A Santa To A Senior” campaign. This program brings Christmas cheer to the elderly in our community. These students, from Kindergarten to Grade Four are decorating gift bags for wrapping the gifts that are being donated again this year. Through the generous support of our community over the past 8 years, the local Home Instead Senior Care office has been able to coordinate and deliver gifts to over 3500 lonely seniors. For more information on how you can get involved, visit the website at www. beasantatoasenior. com, or call Home Instead Senior Care at 604-552-3324

Christmas is slowly and surely approaching and it’s during this time that the spirit of giving is stronger than ever for Canadians. However, the desire to give can often be coupled with frustration. It can be a tricky mission finding the perfect gift for a family member or loved one. And the holidays should not be about braving hectic shopping malls; they’re a time to relax and enjoy the presence of family. To make your shopping task easier, consider World Vision Gifts. With the “World of Change Giving Card” you can give the gift recipient the option of choosing what they’d like to give to a struggling child or family in need. There are more than 60 gifts found in the World Vision Gift Catalogue that can be purchased with the Giving Card. “Giving World Vision gifts is our favourite way to celebrate Christmas,” said Canadian comedian and World Vision child sponsor, Colin Mochrie. “It’s such fun and really rewarding.” At a time when cold winter weather is approaching, there are many people who are unequipped to stay warm. Children and families who are suffering live not only in different parts of the world, but right here in Canada. Canadians can give the gift of warm clothing for children through World Vision Gifts. This will protect little ones right on our doorstep from bitter cold and sickness. Some of the most popular gifts are hens, roosters and goats. These are happily received by recipient families because they are a source of nutrition and income. A gift of chickens helps a family produce eggs and chicks to sell at market. The goats that are

given provide milk and meat for a family, and goat’s milk is an excellent source of calcium and protein for growing children. “On a recent trip overseas with World Vision, I helped deliver a goat to a family. They were overjoyed because the animals were going to change their lives. This is a great way to shop and know you’ve made a difference,” said cohost of ET Canada and World Vision supporter, Rick Campanelli. New to the gift catalogue this year are beautiful Haitian hand-beaded necklaces. Each bead is uniquely and intricately crafted by struggling women in Haiti and when purchasing one from the gift catalogue, a struggling family in Haiti will be helped. This is a beautiful gift to give to a loved one with exquisite fashion savvy. Choosing World Vision Gifts is a truly meaningful way to shop this season, and they bring so much joy and happiness to the lives of those who have received these lasting gifts. Let’s not forget they also help lighten that shopping load just a little bit, something we can all benefit from.

WE’RE HELPING SHARE THIS CHRISTMAS Christmas is supposed to be a happy time of year, but for many families in our community, it’s not. When the cupboard is bare and there’s no money for presents, Christmas can’t end soon enough.

Look for our Donation Drop off Location posters at many PoCo BIA businesses, and we’ll be sure to get your gift into the hands of someone who will really appreciate it.

That’s why we’re making a donation to the SHARE Society’s Christmas Campaign easier by collecting food, unwrapped toys and other presents throughout downtown Port Coquitlam.

For more information on participating locations and donation suggestions, visit our website at PoCoBIA.com.

Thanks for helping us make Christmas merry for all.
