National honour for Terry DAVID LEE PHOTO

The father and brother of Port Coquitlam hero Terry Fox unveiled a plaque (above) in Toronto last Saturday to be placed on Canada’s Walk of Fame. Rolly and Darrell Fox were at the red-carpet event, held 33 years after Terry Fox ran his Marathon of Hope from St. John’s, N.L., to Thunder Bay, Ont. to raise money for cancer research. The family foundation in Fox’s name has collected more than $600 million worldwide to beat the disease that took his life in 1981. The other 2013 Walk of Fame inductees are Bob Ezrin (music producer); Victor Garber (actor); Craig and Marc Kielburger (human rights activists); the late Oscar Peterson (musician); Christine Sinclair (soccer captain); and Alan Thicke (actor). Meanwhile, thousands of children in the Tri-Cities — and across the country — will take part in the Terry Fox National School Run Day tomorrow. The annual event brings in 60% of the revenues for the Terry Fox Foundation.

Sr. spotted but still not found By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Shin Ik Noh, the Coquitlam man with Alzheimer’s who went missing last week, was spotted several times on Burke Mountain over the weekend. Police are urging anyone who sees the missing 64-year-old to phone 911 immediately and stay with him until officers arrive. “By the time people realized he was the missing person and called in, he was nowhere to be found,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. see PUBLIC, page A13

Let the games begin Coquitlam awarded BC Seniors Games for 2016 By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The BC Seniors Games — and the visitors and dollars the event attracts — are coming to Coquitlam in 2016. More than 3,500 seniors from across the province are expected to

compete in 26 sporting events over the four-day competition, which will take place Aug. 23 to 27. The event will arrive as Coquitlam celebrates its 125th birthday and the opening of the Evergreen Line, which will connect the city’s Town Centre Park with Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby and the rest of the Lower Mainland via SkyTrain. Port Moody-Coquitlam BC Liberal MLA Linda Reimer announced that

Coquitlam had the winning bid Monday at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, saying the province estimates the games will bring $2 million in economic spinoffs to local businesses. “No small change,” she said. “The BC Seniors Games will be an excellent economic generator.” She added that the games will help the city build a pool of volunteers from which it can draw for future events.

Mayor Richard Stewart said the games, which will cost an estimated $500,000 to host, will give the city an opportunity to showcase the many changes that have taken place since the last time Coquitlam hosted them in 1991. “In the past decade, we have made a number of capital investments,” he said. “These games will help us showcase those facilities.” see DIFFERENT, page A9

Charges in robbery & slashing

Imam in court Oct. 2 A Port Coquitlam man will next appear in court Oct. 2 for an arraignment hearing stemming from sexual assault charges levelled against him. Saadeldin Bahr, also known as Dr. Saad, is imam at the Masjid AlHidayah and Islamic Cultural Centre on Kingsway Avenue. SAAD BAHR Coquitlam RCMP said earlier this month Bahr was charged after an alleged incident in June. Because of a publication ban to protect the identity of the alleged victim, Mounties said they were unable to provide further information. Bahr has been a prominent member of the Muslim community, serving as the PoCo mosque’s imam for a number of years.

A New Westminster man is facing charges after allegedly robbing and slashing a youth at a Coquitlam house party earlier this month. Ky l e A l a i n - B oya was taken into custody on Sept. 10, eight days

Organic recycling relief eyed for Metro apartments

www.tricitynews.com

CITY OF P RT COQUITLAM

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

SUBMITTED PHOTO

The $30,000 Rocket composter can handle up to 20 kg of food scraps, soiled paper and yard trimmings every day, and is being used on a trial basis at a Coquitlam housing complex.

Composting blast-off Metro Vancouver isn’t giving up on trying to convince people living in apartments and townhouses to compost their food scraps. Wh i l e po l i ti ci an s around the region mull the challenge of getting multi-family buildings to separate all organic food waste before a ban in 2015, Metro Vancouver has installed an automated compositor, on a trial basis, at its Malaspina Village housing complex in Coquitlam. The Rocket can handle up to 20 kg of food scraps, soiled paper and

yard trimmings every day and will turn it into high-quality compost within six weeks, according to a press release. The sleek-looking machine costs $30,000 but Metro Vancouver calculates the investment could be paid within four to five years because of savings on waste hauling and landscaping. On average, about a third of the average household’s garbage is food waste. “With Metro Vancouver’s 2015 organics disposal ban fast approaching, on-site composting is one of the

options for the multifamily and commercial sectors,” said Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro Vancouver’s Zero Waste Committee, in a press release. “Along with regionalscale food scraps collection at the curbside and backyard composting, on-site systems will help us achieve our zero waste goals.” If the Rocket turns out to be a success at Malaspina, Metro Vancouver will consider introducing similar systems at its other housing sites. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Residents of some older apartment buildings may not have to obey Metro Vancouver’s directive to separate all organic food waste starting in 2015. The regional district’s zero waste committee voted Monday to let member cities exempt specific apartment buildings when the organics disposal ban in place for regular houses extends to multifamily residential. Diverting organic waste is a key plank in Metro’s plan to reach at least 70% recycling but local cities increasingly admit it’s too difficult for older apartment buildings without space for specialized bins. The recommendation, which still needs Metro board approval, is part of a proposed bylaw to block garbage exports that regional planners have revived after a previous version was rejected Sept. 5. see MRFS, page a7

He said the enforcement provisions are too vague and predicted no MRFs will be built under the rules. “I don’t think we have any idea of the unintended consequences that are going to come of this,” added North Vancouver District Coun. Roger Bassam. Va r i o u s b u s i n e s s Glenayre Elementary groups have opposed Metro-imposed waste flow control, but it’s supported by local recycling industries that fear usable material will exit the region.

Deb Walters previously voted against the flow control bylaw but now says her concerns have been addressed. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the multifamily organics exemption, which would be reviewed after five years, is an acceptable compromise to stop garbage flowing east. “That’s the price I’m willing to pay to avoid the bypassing of waste out of our region to facilities that are simply landfilling it.” But Port Moody Coun.

Residents in exempted multifamily buildings dmiraltywould Point continue to toss their food waste in the garbage, which would be taken to a material recovery facility (MRF) that would use various technologies to extract the organics and other recyclables. Since apartments have dismal recycling rates of around 15% — dragging down the regional average — it’s thought that mixed-waste MRFs may retrieve more usable material that will otherwise be dumped or incinerated, so Metro has agreed to let private firms build and run the automated plants. “Eighty five per cent of the plastic, metal and paper that could be recovered isn’t being recovered,” Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said. She sees MRFs as critical to quickly diverting more material to recycling so that Metro doesn’t build a bigger garbage incinerator than necessary. The region is in the midst of procuring a controversial new waste-toenergy plant and Reimer has been exploring ways to minimize its size or avoid building it altogether. “Once the incinerator is built there will be no way to go to more source separation,”she said. If apartment waste is diverted for now to a MRF, she said, it won’t be calculated as part of the garbage needing disposal in determining the final size of a future WTE plant, currently estimated at 370,000 tonnes per year. “We don’t see the MRF concept as damaging our ability to source separate in the long term.” The proposed waste control bylaw would require all garbage to go to regional facilities, blocking shipments to out-of-region landfills where tipping fees are far lower and Metro bans on dumping recyclables don’t apply. Metro planners say a trickle of waste now being trucked out of region threatens to turn into a flood, bleeding the regional district of tipping fee revenue that underpins the entire garbage and recycling system. The retooled bylaw, expected to come back before Metro in the weeks ahead, will plug one loophole that would have let residue from MRFs be dumped outside the region. Metro will also ask the province for the power to ticket MRFs for rule violations. Pitt Meadows Mayor

Premier rejects call to reopen Riverview By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

B.C. won’t reopen the closed Riverview Hospital, not even in a modern form. That was Premier Christy Clark’s response Friday to a vote earlier in the day by the Union of B.C. Municipalities to support reviving the old psychiatric institution in Coquitlam. “We’re not considering that,” Clark said. “The folks that we are all so concerned about who are living homeless in British Columbia are not from Riverview. It’s a new set of problems we need to deal with.” Clark said she shared UBCM delegates’ desire to improve mental health care and highlighted provincial investments in affordable housing and treatment.

Four years?

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

number of interesting motions and discussions arose from last week’s annual Union of BC Municipalities convention, including a proposal calling for extending terms of office for mayors and city councillors from three years to four. Bring it on. Anyone who has watched municipal politicians in action or has served on such a board knows the avalanche of information the newest members must absorb. On top of learning the history of past decisions and choices to create the proper context for making good decisions, rookies must try to memorize the process and learn how best to work within those confines to be the most effective. In our estimation, it takes between one and two years minimum for an elected official to reasonably understand how to do the job. Therefore, this only leaves about one year of a three-year term in which they’re sufficiently proficient to best represent the people who put them into office. Extending a term by another year will give residents better bang for their tax buck, reduce election costs and council turnover, and put municipalities in sync with provincial elections. This timing would aid in limiting the costs some municipalities have had to accrue once a current mayor or councillor wins a provincial election, which, obviously, triggers costly byelections, such as the one about to happen in Coquitlam to the tune of around $140,000. The proposal passed with a 60% approval rate, with one rural delegate stating the idea came from “professional politicians”in the Lower Mainland, where pay is higher. While that may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that this is an idea whose time may have come and it should be pushed forwarded as soon as possible. And it’s not as though there isn’t precedent for this in Canada. If such a plan is enacted, B.C. would fall in step with every other province except for theYukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Overall, we would be better served by having longer terms, both in terms of effectiveness of politicians and money saved by having fewer elections.

Smart meter facts defeat the ‘circus of quackery’ BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA espite efforts to keep the smart meter“controversy” alive by repeating imaginary health claims, the end is near. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has made what sounds like a final offer to holdouts.You want to keep your old mechanical meter, fill your boots. It’ll cost you an extra $35 a month starting in December. If you insist on a“radio off”wireless meter, there will be a setup fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $20 to have someone collect the readings. These charges are to be reviewed by the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC), the independent panel that smart meter opponents want to review BC Hydro’s whole smart grid project. As it happens, the BCUC recently did just that for an application by FortisBC to install wireless meters for its Okanagan and Kootenay customers. The meters were ap-

proved and the findings are instructive. The BCUC report notes that it received “many”complaints about smart meter signals being added to existing radio frequency (RF) sources. Some used familiar scare rhetoric about“toxic microwave radiation”that’s promoted by people trying to make money by exploiting fear. One of the experts retained by FortisBC was Yakov Shkolnikov, an electrical engineer with advanced degrees from Princeton and Cornell universities. His testimony was not challenged by any of the lineup of opponents. A sample of his findings illustrates the absurdity of this whole discussion: Shkolnikov calculated that a cellphone in use generates radio signals that reach 10% of the international safety code limit while a microwave oven generates 2.3% of the safe limit, a cordless phone 1.25% and a wi-fi signal 0.0045%. He stated that a bank of smart meters, not separated by a wall, registers 0.0019%. And the natural background RF level is 0.013%. Note the decimal place. The level in

TRI-CITY leTTeRs

Values and the French The Editor, Re. “Let’s stand up for les Quebecois” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Sept. 20). Face to Face columnist Andy Radia, like far too many Canadians, doesn’t seem to know what francophone means. While Frenchspeaking Quebecois whose families go back centuries are all francophones, they are only a small part of the francophone family that is spread all over the world. There are also francophones in Quebec who either were born there to immigrant families originating from some of the many countries where French is spoken, or they immigrated themselves from one of these countries. These francophones do not have the same culture as what we used to call the FrenchCanadians; their French is different and they may not be Catholic. Many of them will be directly affected by the Parti Quebecois government’s values charter. One of irony is that, according to Quebec historians, it is more than likely that the ancestors of many pure-laine Quebecois did not speak

French until their move to Quebec from France. Until the late 19th century/early 20th century many people in France didn’t speak, read or write French. At best, they might have known a score of basic words. They belonged to what the French government called “the linguistic minorities of France” and only became French when their birth region was annexed to France after one of many wars, or an arranged marriage between aristocratic heirs that avoided a war. France, like Rome, wasn’t built in a day. Some of the regional accents one hears in Quebec, and some family names come from these non-French-speaking regions of France. Even today, the French spoken in many regions of France has kept the accent and many words of the historical native language. J-L Brussac, Coquitlam

Pedestrians be careful The Editor, Re.“Cops look into tips from video” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 18). First, I would like to convey my sympathy to the family and friends who tragically lost their loved one to a hit-and-run driver. Such a cowardly act. I am a driver and I have noticed that when the light turns green for motorists, nearly every time, if there is a pedestrian about to cross and the crossing sign comes up, the pedestrian just steps off the curb without even looking over their shoulder. Pedestrians should be aware that there are cars on the road and just because they are in a crosswalk, looking both ways and over their shoulders before stepping off the curb would be a good practice. I know pedestrians are supposed to have the right-of-way but they should be more aware of their surroundings. We should all be looking out for one another, then the roads would be much safer for motorists and pedestrians alike. Pam Lewis, Coquitlam

Change hit & run laws The Editor, I think it’s time our MLAs, etc. get the government to change the law regarding leaving the scene of an accident. Lots of people do this and not a lot happens to them, maybe a small fine. They all use the same excuse:“I was scared. Didn’t know what to do.” And this always comes two to three days later, with themselves in with their lawyer. I bet a million dollars the first big reason is drinking, so 72 hours later, even a blood best would be clean. Also, anyone who helps hide them needs to face harsher penalties.

Investigation continues into missing man’s case By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Two ye a r s h ave passed since Jafar Imanpour disappeared from a Port Coquitlam neighbourhood and police say they still have no idea what happened to the 75-year-old man. Imanpour was from Iran and had been visiting family in the area of Toronto Street when he said he was going for a 15-minute walk at dinner time on Sept. 25. He has not been seen since and police said the investigation is ongoing. “The anniversary is definitely on our radar,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “There has been no new updates but that doesn’t mean we have forgotten about it.” Imanpour had only been in Canada for eight days when he disappeared and his family said that he struggled with English. But that did not stop him from taking several strolls around the neighbourhood and he was known to frequent a nearby Starbucks. He was taking medication for his blood pressure at the time of his disappearance, pills that he did not bring with him when he went for his walk two years ago. When he did not re-

Port Coquitlam’s Jafar Imanpour, 75, has been missing for two years turn, police dogs were dispatched to search the area and investigators checked local hospitals and notified airlines and customs officials. Even the Coquitlam Search and Rescue team was also involved, combing the area of Burke Mountain north of the Port Coquitlam neighbourhood where Imanpour was last seen. For several weeks, tips poured in but none of them were substantial enough to lead Mounties to the missing man. “We follow up with everything,” Chung said,

Noh was reported missing from the area of Lansdowne Drive and Guildford Way last Wednesday afternoon after he did not return home from a walk. Chung said the missing man is in good physical health and could easily travel long distances on foot. “He is able-bodied,” he said. “He could walk anywhere by now. Because of his medical condition, we have deemed him a high risk.” Because of the cooler, wetter weather, Chung added that it is important that the missing man is located quickly. Local resident Conrad Au organized a search party Monday evening for Noh, even though the missing man is a stranger. “This is something you have to do when you love

Weather could delay completion of project A multi-million dollar project to upgrade one of Coquitlam’s oldest roads is nearly done. But finishing the work along King Albert Avenue may be delayed until next year due to the colder and wet weather. City engineer Mark Zaborniak said there were some deficiencies with the concrete and asphalt work by the contractor, which is responsible for paying for the repairs. Zaborniak said there is a “social cost” to the deficiencies as a park, baseball diamond and school are along King Albert.

“The road is functioning and we hope to have things in order this year, if not early next year,” he said. The price tag for the improvements along the 800 m corridor between Blue Mountain and Gatensbury streets was estimated last year at $2.7 million. The work includes: repaving the existing street; adding curbs and gutters; installing a new pedestrian signal at Blue Mountain and King Albert; improving onstreet parking; and adding a 3 m wide pathway and street lighting on the north side. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Night work underway Evergreen Line construction will cause some intermittent night-time work until mid-November near the Lougheed Town Centre Station in Burnaby. Crews are now building columns for the elevated guideway that will tie into the existing SkyTrain station. The work is slated to take place from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. and will include installation of steel rein-

forcements and casings, concrete pouring and drilling, coupled with heavy machinery work. Temporary fencing will be installed around the site. When column construction shifts to North Road in early October, night-time closures down to single-lane will be required due to high traffic volumes between Lougheed Highway and Gatineau Place.

New View focus for 40 years is inclusion & engagement Started on shoestring to help local people with mental illnesses By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS

ll eyes are on Riverview Hospital as politicians, mental health advocates and police struggle with ways to support people with mental illness, with many demanding it be re-opened. But for 40 years, the NewView Society has quietly done this work in the Tri-Cities. Operating out of a building at 2050 Mary Hill Rd. in Port Coquitlam, NewView is a lifeline for people living with mental illness, providing 51 independent and group beds in apartments and homes in the Tri-Cities as well as a clubhouse that offers social, work and recreational programs. “More young people should come here,”suggests Rick Schuil, who has bipolar disorder. The 51-year-old drywaller says he found a community at New View when he joined 30 years ago. His health is now stable and he lives independently with the support of NewView and his family, but he still appreciates having New View staff and friends in his life. “What makes New View stand out is respect,” says Kay Swalwell, an early volunteer who later became one of New View’s executive directors. By treating everyone with respect, NewView has grown from a small band of volunteers and clients to a well-respected community agency that counts among its successes people who were once homeless. A typical NewView

New View Society executive director Jill Calder and Kay Swalwell, a retired teacher who started social programs for members in 1969, with a book celebrating the 40th anniversary of the agency that supports people with mental illness. member is someone who is living on his own, with supports, and family nearby. He is also probably holding down a job

or going to school. No longer defined by their illness, these are people living in the community who just need

some extra support. “It does work, the supported housing, it’s one of the key components, along with social, rec-

reation and work programs,”says Jill Calder, NewView’s executive director. Swalwell agrees, say-

Celebrating 40 years • New View celebrated its 40th anniversary last week with the launch of a book about its history from 1973 and 2013, and a community party. For more information about New View, visit www.newviewsociety.org. ing: “You get a community of people who are well.That’s what we need.” But 40 years ago, people with mental illness weren’t accepted in the community, and even when they were discharged from Riverview to a boarding house, there were few supports. It took a small band of volunteers, community nurses, therapists and psychiatrists, including NewView founder Dr. Shauna Little, to figure out social programs were needed.Thus, NewView was launched on a shoestring budget. “It was obvious they needed something to do,” said Swalwell, who was one of the first volunteers to work with men and women who showed up each morning at the rundown Dalkey building provided for free by the city of Port Coquitlam. “I’m particularly proud of New View because it was started with absolutely nothing,” she adds, noting that what funds there were for activities, like knitting, and bowling, came from the 10 cents clients paid for a cup of coffee. Gradually, attitudes changed and government agencies began to understand the importance of integrating people with mental illness in the community. NewView was an early adopter of psychosocial rehabilitation, the idea that people need strong social connections, meaningful work and enjoyable pursuits to achieve their full potential. “We work really hard so people can go to work,” Calder said about New View, which offers a computer lab and job skills training, and runs three social enterprises — businesses — where members work. There’s also a newsletter and website to keep

members in touch, a community kitchen, morning coffee and a rec room with TV, musical instruments and a pool table to attract younger people, who Swalwell says text each other about what’s going on. It’s a vibrant community of people supporting one another, something a visitor notices immediately upon entry to the comfortable clubhouse. But despite NewView’s efforts, people do fall through the cracks. Some won’t seek help because of the stigma attached to mental illness, some stop taking their medicine, some become estranged from family or struggle with addictions and many, police say, end up on the street or in jail. For this small but growing group, more targeted help is needed, Caldwell and Swalwell say. Still, they are cautious in overstating the role of Riverview.They don’t want a return to institutionalization but agree more hospital beds are needed for people with severe mental illness and they want community agencies, such as NewView, to be involved in finding creative solutions. Locking up people is not the answer, they say. “We need a community that includes everybody,” Swalwell says. Will NewView get a chance to provide help for people with severe mental illness who can’t currently use their programs? It’s hard to know as Premier Christy Clark has said the economy has to grow before more mental health services can be developed. But in the meantime, there is NewView for those willing to work on their mental wellness, and they will be welcomed with open arms. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

If you’re an amateur photographer with an eye for wildlife, don’t miss out on your chance to see your best photo featured in the BC SPCA’s fifth annual Wildlife-In-Focus Photography Contest. The annual contest encourages participants to explore green spaces, roadsides, beaches and even backyards to find striking images that represent the resiliency of local wildlife living at the interface with humans. Wildlife includes free-living birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities. Digital photos are being accepted until Sept. 30 in the contest, which raises funds for the society’s Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) on southern Vancouver Island, where more than 2,500 orphaned and injured wild animals are cared for every year. Prizes in the contest will be awarded for the top three photos in each of the two categories: wild settings and backyard habitats. The contest is open to all people age 14 years and older who live in B.C. You can learn more about this year’s contest and see winners from past contests at spca.bc.ca/wildlife-in-focus.

If, on a winter’s night, you’re feeling weird... A GOOD READ

Michael DeKoven

here is no shortage of books that are absurd, surreal, mad, ludicrous or bizarre. Some books employ elaborate and convoluted structures, some introduce typographic tricks and effects and some books do all of the above. While James Joyce reputedly said it took him 17 years to write Finnegans Wake and he expected people to spend 17 years reading it, not all weird books are difficult. Some are fun and some are amazing. Here are a few of each: The Wind-up Bird Chronicle is considered by some to be Haruki

Murakami’s masterwork. Thirty-year-old Toru Okada loses his job, his cat goes missing and his wife leaves him. While searching for the cat, he meets a series of strange characters who insist on telling him the stories of their lives, which are filled with passion and vio-

lence.The book is a surreal blend of detective story, history lesson and satire that becomes increasingly complex and dreamlike. This highly experimental novel is uneven and sometimes confusing but it is never boring. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski became a cult sensation on the internet before its print publication in 2000.The centre of the book’s stories within stories within stories concerns a manuscript study of a documentary film about a house that is growing larger on the inside.The filmed exploration of the house’s labyrinthian hallways leads to insanity, murder and death. Danielewski matches his convoluted plot with a vari-

ety of typographical effects and the author also plays with academic conventions by including masses of footnotes — and footnotes to the footnotes — and citations of clearly imaginary reference works. Some readers have said this is the novel of the millennium while others insist that Danielewski’s celebration of his own cleverness gives them a headache. The Raw Shark Texts (a play on“Rorschach tests”) is Steven Hall’s 2007 debut novel. Eric Sanderson is fleeing from the Ludovician, a“species of purely conceptual fish”that feed on human memory. Although the Ludovician have already devoured his memory, the“First Eric” left him a series of clues

to recover his past and the name of a doctor who may be able to help him. One reviewer called the book “a fast-moving cyberpunk mashup of Jaws, Memento and sappy romance.” The odd formal structure of Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler is no barrier to enjoying Calvino’s remarkable work.The book opens with the line“You are about to begin reading Italo Calvino’s new novel, If on a winter’s night a traveler” and odd-numbered chapters continue on to relate the adventures of you, the reader, in reading the novel.The even-numbered chapters are each a first chapter of 10 different novels in various genres and written in different styles,

and each ends abruptly at a major plot climax.The odd-numbered chapters develop into a love story of international conspiracy and politics.Themes, phrases and descriptions link the different first chapters to the secondperson narrative chapters. The Telegraph newspaper included If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler in its 2009 list of“100 novels everyone should read.” The Third Policeman is Flann O’Brien’s dark comic novel of ambition, obsession, greed, love, hate, revenge, physics and bicycles; it also prominently features the observations of a scientist and philosopher named deSelby.The narrator, whose name we never learn, is killed by a bomb

after taking part in a robbery turned murder. After his death, the unnamed narrator discovers his soul (named“Joe”), encounters two of the three bicycle-obsessed policemen and travels to eternity, which turns out to be just down the road.The novel was written in 1940 but was rejected by O’Brien’s publisher and not printed until a year after the author’s death in 1966. Just ask at your local library if you are looking for more suggestions of something a little different to read. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Michael DeKoven is deputy director of Port Moody Public Library.

CulTure dAys: Theme of digital art and literature explored at three Tri-City arts centres

For the love of book art For this weekend’s Culture Days, Port Coquitlam will mix digital art and literature by showing the best of Canadian book art. The Alcuin Society returns to the Leigh Square Community Arts Village with a selection from its recent contest winners. The exhibit, which opens on Saturday in the Gathering Place and includes photos of B.C. writers, is an example that Canada matters on the global stage, said board member Shelley Gruendler. “The book industry in Canada is evolving, not dying as some people may think,” she said, adding, “Production is going up and people are noticing the details in the quality of the paper, the new typefaces, the printing, the binding and the overall aesthetic.” Also at Leigh on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m., Markus Fahrner and Mike Toddington will expand on book art by showing how to make a mini book by using a Japanese needleand-thread style binding. The Fraser Valley Knitters’ Guild will host a free knitin while Michael King will paint and Diamond Zhou and Ilsoo MacLaurin will printmake. Music, dance and storytelling will be provided by the Tri-City Chinese Community Society.

COURTESY OF PLACE DES ARTS

Joy Kirkwood will lead a workshop on Sunday.

COURTESY OF OLIVER HOCKENHULL

Oliver Hockenhull will show his new digital installation based on Franz Kafka’s An Imperial Message.

Kafka parable projected Stories by Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NeWs

ust what was Franz Kafka trying to say in his 1919 parable An Imperial Message? Is it that no one will ever know the absolute truth? Or was the Czech writer telling us to stop dreaming and to get on with life as it is? No matter how you interpret his short story, it is a source of fascination for Oliver Hockenhull, a Vancouver-based artist who works in film, video, hyper-media installations, writing and design. For Culture Days at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, Hockenhull will display — for the first time — his project based on Kafka’s parable, which goes something along these lines: An emperor is dying and wants to pass on a message to the reader. He employs a go-between who struggles to convey the message. Even with the sign of

An example of Oliver Hockenhull’s installation for Evergreen. the sun on his chest, the go-between still can’t get through all the barriers. As a result, “he can never reach you, but you can find out what this dying person has to say to you by dreaming it for yourself,” Hockenhull explained. Using Kafka’s text, Hockenhull will digitally project it onto the walls and windows — using images of outer space, in a kind of dreamlike sequence — at the Coquitlam arts hub on Sunday from 3 and 5 p.m. And through an algorithmic syntactical program built in Java,

Hockenhull will further layer Kafka’s words in a reshuffled pattern. The cut-up literary technique is nothing new as it was employed in 1919 by the Romanian poet Tristan Tzara. And keeping with the 1919 theme, Hockenhull also plans to set his installation to Stravinsky’s Octet, penned in 1919. The year is significant to Hockenhull’s installation because “it’s just after World War One and there was real hope at the time that this would be a war that would end all wars,” he said. “There was a real push in some

ways to allow individuality, which was more important than the nation you came from.” A student of Kafka’s writing for decades, Hockenhull said the author is one of the most prolific of the 20th century. “He had a magical and surreal way of looking at life, examining the relationship on societal structure and the liberated individual.” Asked what the viewer will get out of his somewhat-heavy installation, Hockenhull replied, “If I can get people to read Kafka and explore the value of words and their own imagination then I’m very happy.”

AlsO AT eCC

Culture Days starts Sunday at 1:30 p.m., with a classical, jazz and surf music concert by Reno Schembri and Azotar. And at 4 p.m., Tri-City actor and writer Veenesh Dubois will present her one-woman play, Under the Mango Tree.

Putting words, art to photos Give a photograph from a far-off place a made-up story at Family Day at PdA. For Culture Days at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts on Sunday, faculty artist Joy Kirkwood will lead participants through the most recent photo show by Alan Maples and create artwork to accompany his images from northern India. Exhibitions programmer Michelle Chan said the Visual Language Workshop will tie in nicely with the digital imagery and literature theme. “We already have the digital art from Alan so all people have to do it put words to them,” Chan said. “We’re hoping people will be inspired by the photos to put together their own work by using text cut out from old books.” And once the pieces are finished, they will be displayed next to Maples’ Colors of Rajasthan photos. Family Day runs Sept. 29 from 1:30 to

Ravens get season off to strong start By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

RobeRt Mcdonald photo

Centennial Centaurs running back J.P. Kalambay (right) fights off a tackle during a game against St. Thomas More on Friday night. Centennial came up short in the match, losing to the Burnaby team by a score of 40-24.

The Terry Fox Ravens bounced back from last week’s exhibition loss with a dominating effort against Rutland, dropping the visitors 52-0 in the most lopsided AAA high school football score of the weekend. Team co-coach Jorge Knizek said his club had a strong first quarter but “exploded” in the second when running back Kyle Deugau rushed for three touchdowns. Defensive-end Brad Peters also chipped in some offence, recovering a bad long snap on special teams to help the Ravens to a 39-0 half-time lead. Fox kept up the pressure in the final quarters, with quarterback Connor McKee adding to the lead when he connected with receiver Nick Agnoletto on a 40-yard passing play. Adrial Sellers punched in the last touchdown of the game to seal the match in favour of the Ravens. Terry Fox travels to

Express take split against Rivermen Coquitlam drops Langley on the road but can’t finish at home By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The first home game of the season might be fun for hockey fans and players, but it’s a nightmare for coaches. The pre-game festivities can create long delays between the warm-up skate and puck drop and many younger player’s focus

is taken off the game, said Coquitlam Express coach Barry Wolff. His team took advantage of the home-opener curse on Friday against the Langley Rivermen but fell victim to the same phenomenon the next night at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. “We came out flat,” he said of both matches. “These opening nights are a great thing for the team, but as a coach you hate them.” It took a few minutes for his players to find their legs on Friday

in Langley, but once Corey Mackin opened the scoring with five minutes left in the first on a feed from Ryan Rosenthal, Coquitlam filled the net. Two more goals in the second period, including a short-handed marker from Bo Pieper, who went on to score a hat trick, helped the club to a 6-2 victory. Saturday, however, was a different story. Coquitlam fell behind early when Jakob Reichert put a puck past Express goalie Pierce Dushenko but

Coquitlam responded with two goals of their own, including a power p l ay m a r ke r f ro m Canon Pieper. Langley scored three unanswered goals before the end of the first, but the Express managed to force overtime with singles in the second and third frame. However, despite a strong effort from the home team in the extra period, Coquitlam came up short when Kevan Kilistoff ended the game on a feed from Evan Anderson. Despite the loss, Wolff

said there is a lot for his team to be happy about. The play of the Pieper brothers, who took turns being the first star of the game this weekend, is encouraging this early in the season. “Both the brothers bring it every night,” he said. “They are going to score lots of goals. We just got to get them shooting. They have the tendency to pass a lot.” Coquitlam will take on Prince George this weekend at home. The puck drops on Friday at 7 p.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Kelowna next weekend, where they will take on Mt. Boucherie. Meanwhile, the Centennial Centaurs struggled in their season home opener, which they lost to St.Thomas More 40-24. The team kept it close for the first half but coach Simon Quinto said some big plays in the closing quarters by St. Thomas made it difficult for his team to get back in the game. However, he added that there were some bright spots in the loss that his team will build on when they meet Kelowna this Friday. Penalty troubles that plagued the team in exhibition were not a factor last weekend and several younger players have been able to fill the shoes of some injured veterans, he said. “There were guys playing in different positions, but they stepped up for the challenge and performed admirably,” he said. “We were able to see the potential from some of our new starters.”

Trio of Coq. skaters make way to Germany ronald Lam, Bela Papp and Jordan Ju eye 2014 Olympics By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Ronald Lam, Bela Papp and Jordan Ju have been friends for several years and regularly train together at the Coquitlam Figure Skating Club. But when the trio lace up their skates at

the Nebelhorn Trophy in Germany this week, they will temporarily set aside their friendship as they compete against each other for a spot at the 2014 Olympics. “They are all good friends, but when they go out there they know they have to compete against each other,” said coach Bruno Delmaestro. “They all have a lot of respect for each other.” see ThRee, page 27

Belisle a mentor ‘on and off the mat’ says ViaSport Wrestler who competed in Summer games recognized

Gary Mckenna/the tri-city newS

Jordan Ju (left), Ronald Lam (centre), and Bela Papp (right), are members of the Coquitlam Figure Skating Club and will be competing against each other at the Nebelhorn Trophy competition — an Olympic qualifier —this week in Germany.

Three amigos compete against each other at int’l competition continued from page 26

Thirty-seven competitors will compete in this week’s event in Germany, vying for six wild card spots still available for the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia. The competition will be tough, Delmaestro said, but if his athletes can skate a perfect short and long program there is a chance they could make it. “You got to come and lay it out on the line,” he said. “A good short and a good long — no mistakes.” The three Coquitlam skaters are no strangers to international competition. Lam, the oldest of the three at 22, has skated in events from Latvia to Asia and is competing as a member of the Hong Kong national team. With Hong Kong, his family’s home country, he said he has more opportunity to compete in international events and a better chance of getting to the Olympics. The Port Moody secondary alum and current UBC computer science student said his past experience on the figure skating circuit gives him a good idea of what the judges are looking for. “All the elements have to be there,” he said. “That and a good presentation. If you can put it all together on that day, that is how you make it.” This week’s event will be the first time Bela Papp has competed in an international competition after coming back from back surgery. The 19-year-old skater, who is a member of his home country’s Finnish national team, has spent the last year recuperating, with regular physiotherapy as he builds up his strength.

He said the injury came after a quick growth spurt over-extended his spine, which did not have the muscles to handle the impact of his landings. But the hiatus has not deterred the skater. Despite his short career Papp, who has lived in Canada for six years, has logged a lot of air miles, traveling to Finland twice a year for national competitions on top of events in Bulgaria, Russia and

Korea. His time away from the sport, he added, does not concern him going into this week’s competition. “I think it is like riding a bike,” he said. “You will get back on it. You just have to keep your head straight and try not to over think it.” At 18, Jordan Ju is the youngest of the trio of Coquitlam skating club members heading to Germany this week. He is competing

with the Taiwan national team, and said that while he is seeking a spot at the Sochi Olympics, he is still young enough to make the 2018 games if he is not successful at the Nebelhorn Trophy event. “Some of the best in the world are going to be there,” said the Kwantlen University student. “There is going to be a lot of tough competition.”

A commitment to her sport has brought recognition to Port Moody’s Lyndsay Belisle. Belisle, a coach with the Team BC wrestling squad at the recent Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que., has been presented with an ACE (Achieving Community Excellence) Award. Belisle was one of eight Team BC members to be presented with the award that recognizes the contributions of B.C. athletes and coaches through demonstrated leadership in their communities. “Lyndsay was nominated by her Team BC wrestling team who describes her as an incredible teacher and mentor both on and off the mat. They describe Lyndsay as a coach that spends time getting to know every athlete she

coaches, both on a personal and professional level,” according to a release from ViaSport British Columbia. Belisle has been competing and coaching in wrestling for the past 20 years, being one of the first women to wrestle at the Olympics during the 2004 Summer Games in Athens. The ACE Awards, founded by BC Athlete Voice and administered by ViaSport, are presented to a select group

of Team BC athletes and coaches every year. The award acknowledges the importance of using leadership skills honed through sport to give back to the community, both on and off the playing surface. From an exceptional group of nominees, winners are selected based on their leadership in promoting sport and physical activity for the greater benefit of their sport and community. sports@tricitynews.com

Who: AIESEC SFU What: An international organization completely run by students from universities around the world. Where: www.aiesec.ca/sfu AIESEC is an international organization completely run by students from universities around the world. Present in 113 countries and territories, we focus on providing students with the opportunity to become global citizens through internships and volunteer experiences. Through the organization, students learn valuable work place skills as well as expand their personal network on a global scale. I joined AIESEC because I wanted to be a part of a global movement. I wanted to join ambitious student leaders who truly believed in making a difference in the world. Before I joined AIESEC, I was a below average student with no involvement in campus life aside from going to class. I knew with sub-par GPA and practically no professional network, I would not survive once I graduated from university. AIESEC has allowed me to expand my network and nurture my growth in becoming a globally minded leader. Through AIESEC, I was able to establish connections with various professional organizations such as the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce. I have expanded my network across Canada as well as in other countries. Our core activity is sending students on internships in the country of their choice. We aid in connecting business leaders from around the world to the growing youth of today. AIESEC, as an international organization has a global network of 86,000 students and graduates with a total of 24,000 leadership opportunities and 5,000 international internships.

Family Business Succession

Event: Craft Beer Month

A family business succession plan has all the challenges of a business transfer to a third party, but includes the dynamics of family relationships.

October is BC Craft Beer Month, where we celebrate the art of making a well-blended brew. Get in on the celebration right in your own backyard by trying some local brews at Big River Restaurant and Mr. Mike’s Steakhouse.

Some advisors try to use the same templates for family business transitions as they would for a standard nonfamily transaction. This approach is not effective and is partly why only 30 per cent of family businesses successfully transition to the next generation and less than 12 per cent make it to the third generation.

Big River Restaurant, located next to The Zone Bowling (and our October Restaurant of the Month), serves their in-house beer brand from Big River Brewing. Located along the Fraser River, Big River Brewing’s beverages each tell their own tale about the history of the “Canadian Heritage River”. Check out these examples:

Family members all fall into one or more of three circles of influence - the family circle, the ownership circle, or the business circle. The values and relationships in the family circle are the most critical. These need to be understood and managed

OLD CURLY STOUT Old Curly was the name given to the first steam locomotive in BC. It was originally used for the construction of CPR along the Fraser Canyon then at several railway logging operations on the coast.

One must also consider how to provide for children who are not going to have a piece of the family business and for those who remain as part owners of the business, but inactive. An equal division of the business asset may not be fair. Establishing a dialogue and value system early is key. This can and should be done years before transition planning. Where the business is valuable, the founders can start planning for alternative benefits to be provided to children who are not going to take over the business. Part of long-term planning should allow for a potential change in circumstances and intentions and provide for occasional check-ins to ensure the plan is still relevant for all of the stakeholders. Honest discussion must take place respectfully. Sometimes the founder needs assurance that their values and relevance to the business operations are intact and part of the succession plan. Creation of an advisory position for the founder ensures the institutional memory and mentorship are both accessible while allowing the new ownership to take charge.

Reaching Beyond our Borders

Companions in Compassion When the hearts of four women, from four different backgrounds, come together to support a common cause the result is a bond that cannot be broken and a legacy of friendship that truly inspires. When they first met Betsy Bodor, Elly Hageman, Wendy Koeppen and Linda Kozina recognized in one another fellow soul travelers and in 1992 they embarked on a journey together. They were participants in Crossroads Hospice Societyâ€™s first visiting volunteer training course conducted by one of Crossroads first employees, Pete Pictured l-r: Elly Hageman, Betsy Bodor, Wendy Koeppen Oâ€™Reilly. and Linda Kozina have spent the better part of 25 years The women soon serving and helping others to put life into their days. became affectionately known as â€œPeteâ€™s Angelsâ€? and their unwavering commitment to Crossroads has brought compassionate care to hundreds of people throughout our community. Elly Hageman became a spiritual care volunteer to those facing lifeâ€™s final journey and was inspired to companion those in the community and in Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice. â€œI have learned that when a person is in pain that person is in touch with his core being. The bare person is there. When you are there for that person, amazing things can happen,â€? says Elly. Betsy Bodor came to Crossroads at the mention of hospice from a friend and quickly found an opportunity that filled a void in her life. â€œAs a volunteer, when I see what happens at Crossroads, it allows me to be able to be more caring to others. To be allowed in the patientâ€™s space and to share this time with their loved ones is such an honour. Now I bring that passion to all the volunteer roles I play at Crossroads,â€? says Betsy. After facing the sudden death of both parents and a cancer scare, Wendy Koeppen read an ad for the hospice course in a local newspaper and was inspired to help. â€œMy many experiences over the years have enriched my life and given me the opportunity to meet many wonderful people, patients and families, staff and fellow volunteers. Throughout the years I have enjoyed the friendship of Linda, Elly, and Betsy and how we have grown together in our love, knowledge and passion for Crossroads,â€? says Wendy. Linda Kozina faced a crisis when she was unable to find the words and actions to support a co-worker who was dying of cancer. â€œAfter taking that first course together, we did not look back, but brought our talents and new found knowledge back to our work, even if, at first, we did not think it had any relevance. Perhaps that is what binds us together, this avenue of service and this shared vision of the mission of hospice work,â€? says Linda. All of Peteâ€™s Angels would go on to deepen their relationship and support Crossroads in variety of ways. Elly remains in her role as spiritual care volunteer. Betsy is now a thrift store volunteer and helps with fundraising. Wendy splits her time between patients, serving lunch at the hospice and helping with special assignments. Linda became Crossroads first Executive Director, then Hospice Manager and founder of Crossroads Hospice Coffeehouse only to return as a volunteer after her retirement. Crossroads Hospice Society is grateful for the foundation of care that our early volunteers have brought to our society. Many hands, hearts and minds are responsible for our continued success and we hope in the next 25 years to tell more stories and build even greater relationships.

The second week of the trip involved working with the Korle-Bu Palliative Care Team doing clinical consultations in the hospital, clinic, and community. As a result, some significant differences were made in pain relief and bereavement support for several patients and families. â€œEven in a few days, we were able to make a significant difference to patients and their families with pain relief and bereavement care. A number of meetings were also held with senior health care administrators, discussing strategies to develop palliative care capacity and programmes,â€? says McDonald. In the short time the Share the Care project has been in existence it is clear that there have been many positive developments in the palliative care field in Ghana, as well as, the KBPCT has formed and is providing palliative care in a variety of settings to ever increasing demands. There is a growing commitment to, and acceptance of, the importance of palliative care in many forms amongst health care administrators and within the government. With such positive indicators the STC committee is confident that by continuing to collaborate with our Ghanaian colleagues Crossroads can help develop palliative care capacity through advocacy, education, and clinical Creating Global Connections at Korle-Bu Hospital Accra, Ghana support.

Port Coquitlam Culture Days Rises to New Heights Interactive Art, Music, History, Installation and much more September 27, 28 & 29 …Culture Days is a 3-day event dedicated to the celebration and practice of arts and culture in your neighbourhood. If you’ve ever had an interest in exploring the arts, then this is the weekend for you. Culture Days in Port Coquitlam features free, hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to participate “behind the scenes”—and to discover the world of artists, musicians, creators, historians, curators, and designers at work in their community. Visit Leigh Square Community Arts Village from September 27–29 for an abundance of cultural activities including dance, music, an exhibit opening, martial arts demonstrations, book making, painting, a knitting circle for those with ongoing projects or those who want to learn, author talks and more. On September 27, we’re kicking off Culture Days with a special edition of the Crossroads Coffeehouse Night from 7–10pm. Clara Shandler (also known as The Sidewalk Cellist), and winner of Guitar Idol, Don Adler will be performing an amazing double bill of live music. On September 28, Leigh Square hosts a free Culture Days Festival for the community. From 1–4pm, there will be dozens of events presented in partnership with local community groups and artists. In the Gathering Place, The Alcuin Society and Mother Tongue Publishing are launching a joint exhibition showcasing the winners of its 2013 Book Design Awards and an exhibition of emerging, mid-career and well known BC author portraits photographed by Barry Peterson and Blaise Enright. There will be two author talks by published authors Claudia Cornwall and Elee Kraljii Gardiner.In recognition of Culture Days, Leigh Square Community Arts Village, Evergreen Cultural Centre, Place des Arts and Port Moody Arts Centre created an annual partnership of community exhibitions and programming

under the joint heading Arts in the Tri-Cities: Crossing Boundaries. This year’s theme focusses on digital art and literature. Also in the Gathering Place, there will be four demonstrators who all work in different visual arts mediums offering free instruction to the public. Markus Fahrner and Mike Toddington will be facilitating a workshop on how to make your own mini book by using a simple Japanese needle-and-thread-style binding. The Fraser Valley Knitters Guild will host a free knitting circle, encouraging current knitters to bring their projects, or to new knitters to come learn this meditative and creative art. Those dedicated to visual arts will enjoy live painting by Michael King, an experienced oil painter. Art lovers will also be interested in the demonstration by artists Diamond Zhou and Ilsoo MacLaurin, who will share and teach the process of printmaking and create a participatory public art installation using paper flowers. Along with these talented artists, The Tri-City Chinese Community Society will be performing a Mid-Autumn Celebration of music, dance, storytelling and moon cake tasting outdoors at Leigh Square. The Korea Hapkido Canada Federation will demonstrate martial arts on traditional self-defense techniques and the history of the Hapkido Martial Arts. Artist Sarah Ronald will be creating an interactive art installation at Veterans Park, the purpose of which is to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to simply pick up a brush and paint without fear of perfection or achievement. Artists Jessica Glesby and Ian Wojtowicz invite people to engage in a community painting project next to the skate park at Lions Park from 2-5pm. The artists will have the audience fill in images of the community from family, friends, and houses to streets and landscape. Offsite at Stiffs Studio (#12-2250 Tyner St), the Jam Camp Society in partnership with Stiffs

Studios will lead participants in a song writing and recording session from writing of lyrics to arrangement of music and recording of the song. A very unique workshop running from 8am-5pm. Experience the music creation process from A-Z. Also, the Port Coquitlam Heritage Centre will be hosting corn husk doll making, First Nations drawing and cedar weaving (from 10:30-2pm), along with Aboriginal story telling for adults and children (2:30-3:30pm) and a behind-the scenes demo of what goes on in the museum and archives (12-2pm). Culture Days will round out on Sunday, September 29th with the Rivers and Trails Festival. Artist Diane Moran partners with the Maple Creek Stream Keepers to help promote the conservation and stewardship of these natural features.

Update

Fall 2013

Bear activity high across the City

More than 35 volunteers helped paint a mural on the side of a commercial building on Coast Meridian Road.

Leaving a positive mark

A colourful new mural adorns a building in north Port Coquitlam, thanks to volunteer painters. On Aug. 18, a division of TAG (Teens Against Grafti) held the second annual ParticiPAINT community mural project at a commercial building on Coast Meridian Road that was popular with grafti taggers. Spearheaded by the City’s Youth Services section and Youth Ambassadors, ParticiPAINT partnered with TriCity Paint and Decorating, RCMP, Community Police, Starbucks Coffee Company, an Ismaili civic youth group, Me-N-Ed’s Pizza, Safeway and Cooper’s Foods to host this year’s event.

Artist Kris Kupskay, who heads the Hidden Agenda Projects, developed the themed mural outline and then assisted in mentoring over 35 community volunteers of all ages to paint the mural. The nished product is a 75x8-foot mural that depicts a colourful and animated version of Hyde Creek, the Shaughnessy on Lions Park high-rise, Traboulay PoCo Trail, the Shaughnessy Bike Skills Park and the future. The main goal of ParticiPAINT is to reduce illegal grafti. This year, three youth known by the RCMP as regular taggers assisted with the painting. They were happy to help leave a positive mark on the community.

Weekly green cart pickup continues to end of November

Based on requests from residents, weekly pickup of green carts has been extended in 2013 to the end of November. This additional two weeks of weekly pickup will accommodate fallen leaves and yard trimmings in the late fall. Starting in December, green carts will be picked up on alternate

The alarming spike in bear activity in 2013 continues into the fall, as bears go into heavy feeding mode to prepare for hibernation. Residents and businesses on both the north and CAUTION south sides of Port Coquitlam are urged to lock up their garbage and green carts as bears continue to be spotted on streets, in parks and in IN AREA yards throughout the community. About 109 bears were reported in August. Bears are now commonly seen in areas they previously never ventured into, drawn by unsecured garbage and green carts, unpicked or fallen fruit from trees, and carts set out at the curb the night before collection day. Bears will return again and again to known sources of food. Regulations in the City’s Solid Waste Bylaw, introduced in 2009, include: LOCK IT UP: Secure your garbage and green carts in a wildlife-resistant enclosure (e.g. garage or shed) or with an approved wildlife-resistant lock. SET IT OUT: Set out your carts between 5:30-7:30 a.m. on collection day, and re-secure them by 7 p.m. The City is also advising property owners to: • Secure and lock up all potential food sources, which include garbage, food scraps and food-soiled papers, beverage containers, barbecue grills, compost piles, pet food, bird feed, diapers, grease barrels, petroleum products and chemical products. • Immediately remove fallen fruit and pick fruit upon ripening. • Ensure beehives and bird feeders are inaccessible to wildlife. • Ensure outdoor refrigerators or freezers are locked or inaccessible to wildlife. Visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/bears for more information. If you see a bear, report it as soon as possible to the 24hour hotline 1-877-952-RAPP (7277).

weeks until May 2014. Those with large quantities of green materials during those months may wish to obtain a composter, available at home and garden stores or from the City for a subsidized rate. For more information, contact the City’s Operations Division at 604-927-5488.

‘We certainly do look at garbage differently now’ after contest

Four local households vied for the title of Port Coquitlam’s Biggest Waste Loser in early 2013 as they competed in the Waste-Loss Challenge. Five months after the contest ended, we caught up with our rst-place (the Hobenshields) and second-place (the Saggus) winners. Both are families of four. Q: Do you nd that you look at garbage differently now? Hobenshields: We certainly do look at garbage differently now. Almost everything has a place in our garbage-sorting program and we hear the kids making “why did you just throw that away?” comments when they catch us being wasteful at home and even when we are at friend’s houses. It’s great because it means the teachings have stuck. Saggus: Yes, before we used to throw an entire package, for example, into the garbage, but now we try to take it all apart and throw away as much as possible into the recycling and green waste bins instead. Q: Which of the new waste-loss methods that you introduced during the contest have you maintained? Hobenshields: We have maintained all of the waste-loss methods and even added a few. For our pay-to-remove

sorts we used to just have one bag for “the stuff that Pacic Mobile Depots will take” and now we have split that up into the four sorts that they need: Styrofoam, aluminum-lined bags (chips etc.) hard plastic and soft plastic. Saggus: We have maintained everything. Q: How much less do you send to the landll now? Hobenshields: We now send so little garbage every two weeks that we moved to the smallest garbage bin, and even then we only need to put it out once a month. We might produce one grocery bag of “normal” garbage a week. We have had a few weeks while doing a house clean where we wished we had our larger bin, but in general it has been great. Saggus: Instead of putting out the garbage every two weeks, we now put it out every six weeks. Q: Any other observations? Hobenshields: The waste reduction program was the best thing we could have done to make our children aware of the impact they have on the environment. It was tangible and they were able to see the results. We encourage everyone to get involved in a program like this. It changes your perspective on the world. Saggus: Over time we have learned to pay extra attention to separating our waste correctly into the proper bins. It’s been fun.

The Saggus reduced their waste by 19.5 per cent during the Waste-Loss Challenge contest.

Get active in Grade 5, stay active in Grade 6!

In a partnership to promote youth involvement in physical activity, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, and Port Moody are once again offering Get Active! Cards for all Grade 5 students and Stay Active! Cards for Grade 6 students. The Get Active! Card gives Grade 5 students unlimited free admission to drop-in swimming, skating and gymnasium-based activities at civic recreation centres in the Tri-Cities. The program is available to all Grade 5 students from Sept. 9, 2013 to Aug. 31, 2014. A Grade 6 Stay Active! Card is also being offered again as a transition to encourage continued participation in physical activity. The Grade 6 card allows for 12 free visits to recreation centres, enabling them to continue to develop healthy lifestyles at this age. The card is valid Sept. 9, 2013 to Aug. 31, 2014. It is hoped that offering free admission to drop-in activities will encourage young people to try out different recreational activities, and start them on the path to having an active and healthy lifestyle.

How to receive and activate your card

Students must bring the following documentation to Hyde Creek Recreation Centre (1379 Laurier Ave.), Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex (2150 Wilson Ave.) or The Outlet (#2100-2253 Leigh Sq.): • A letter of verication from School District 43 identifying them as a Grade 5 or 6 student (paperwork available from local schools). • Birth certicate or Care Card showing the student is of the applicable age to be in either Grade 5 or Grade 6 as of Dec. 31, 2013. • Proof of residency – students must live in Port Coquitlam.

Update

City of Port Coquitlam

Downtown rec centre planning begins

Work will be initiated this fall leading to a plan for the future development of the close to 15 acres of City-owned land in downtown Port Coquitlam that includes the Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex. Expanded recreation facilities and a variety of civic, residential and other uses will be considered for the area bounded by Wilson Avenue, Kingsway Avenue, Mary Hill Road and the south property line of the former works yard south of Kelly Avenue. The site currently includes two ice arenas, Terry Fox Library, Wilson Centre, parking and residential lots along Mary Hill Road. Council considers this planning project to be a top priority, and is committed to engaging the community in this project. The redevelopment of the site is seen as an opportunity to create a destination in the heart of the downtown that will meet the changing needs of the community. The work this fall will include an evaluation of existing facilities, consideration of the possible new activities and components, and a visioning exercise for the entire site. There will also be discussions of options to fund potential components and timing. The discussion won’t be limited to civic functions as the City looks to maximize the potential of the property and meet the community’s future needs. To help guide the planning and public consultation process, the City has formed an advisory group with representatives from the City of Port Coquitlam Healthy Community Committee, Rec Complex users and staff, Port Coquitlam Sports Alliance, Port Coquitlam Marlins Swim Club, Wilson Centre Seniors’ Advisory Association, Terry Fox Library, Port Coquitlam Business Improvement Association, School District 43, and downtown residents. This rst phase of the planning process is to be completed by the end of 2013 and result in an overall
