Coquitlam Now July 28 2010

WEDNESDAYJuly 28, 2010

Everyone else is doing it.Several other Metro Vancouver cities are

paying their elected officials a higher salary,higher transportation allowance and mayoralseverance package. Using this rationale, PortCoquitlam council unanimously voted them-selves a hefty pay raise last night, along withother perks, retroactive to July 1.

Mayor Greg Moore will receive a 27-per-cent hike to $85,418 from $67,277.Meanwhile, the city’s six councillors will seetheir salaries jump by 42 per cent to $31,654from $22,257. One third of these annualamounts is tax exempt. To cover these addi-tional costs, each PoCo household will payan extra $3.95 per year.

To keep up with the Joneses, PortCoquitlam calculated the average councilsalaries in the four Metro Vancouver citiesclosest in population — Maple Ridge andNew Westminster have the next-highestpopulations, while North Vancouver City andWest Vancouver have the next lowest.

Chief administrative officer Tony Chongsaid this methodology is a reasonable wayto determine compensation, combined withrecommendations of a citizens task force.

“The key thing to remember here is doyou subscribe to the principle of [fairness]and equity in terms of compensating peopleon council? Because bear in mind that youwant to not create a financial hardship forpeople that seek to provide service to thecommunity,” he said. “Now that’s not to saythat they should capitalize in terms of mak-ing a lot more than otherwise they would intheir jobs. But fair compensation means thatthey do not have to suffer a hardship.”

PoCo’s mayor and councillor salarieswill be reviewed again each January usingthe same formula, starting in 2011. Thatmeans if councillors in Maple Ridge, NewWestminster, North Vancouver or WestVancouver vote themselves a pay raise beforethe end of 2010, PoCo council could receiveanother salary spike five months from now.

Coquitlam could becomean eco-tourism destination ifcouncil moves forward withplans for a “forest adventureplayground” in the tree can-opy of Mundy Park.

This type of treetop facilityallows adventurers to followan all-ages course from tree totree using walkways, ladders,swings and zip-lines. Thesestructures do not harm treesor obstruct natural areas,states a staff report.

“This opportunity pro-vides additional recreationopportunities to the com-munity, supports economicdevelopment and may lead toenhanced services to citizens,”the report notes.

Staff believe the area east ofSpani Pool is the best spot forthe playground, although theyalso considered locations inEagle Ridge, Blue Mountain,Glen and Town Centre parks.

Coun. Barrie Lynch saidextra funds could be investedin park maintenance. A pri-vate business would build andoperate the playground, pay-ing the city to use its land.

“This is one of the wayswe’d be able to incorporatesome type of eco-tourismbusiness that would providerevenue back to the city,”said Lynch, vice-chair of therecreation, sports and culturestanding committee.

“We’re also trying toincrease the number of jobswe’re having in this citybecause as we increase resi-dents, we’re trying to providea force of employment.”

A 30-person staff worksat a similar facility in MapleRidge that opened earlier thismonth, notes the report.

Coquitlam’s initiative couldalso offer an interpretive pro-gram for Mundy Park to teachthe public about forest eco-systems and safe stewardship.

A public consultation pro-cess will begin Friday and runto Aug. 25. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4, see ‘THIS PROCESS.’

YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS: Public anger over tax increases is a common sentiment nowadays, but forMark, 5, and Peter, 7, it could be a way to attract more customers — as they advertise their bakedgoods at the PoCo Farmers Market as being tax-free. The market takes place Thursdays from 3 to 7p.m. through Sept. 16 at Leigh Square. Tomorrow’s event features a special focus on blueberries.

One business owner says she’s considering legal action against the city

Several Port Moody busi-ness owners say parkingproblems are impacting

their St. Johns Street compan-ies.

Sohaila Hesabi has oper-ated her bookkeeping businessnear the corner of St. Johnsand Queens streets for the pasteight years. And since the start,she’s struggled to find a spot topark for the day.

Parking is limited to 15 min-utes in front of her office, withone- and two-hour restrictionsfurther down the road.

She has returned to herToyota Corolla to find parkingtickets on many occasions, andlast week bylaw officers lockedthe front wheel with a parkingboot.

“I have my own businessfor more than seven years. Upto now, I still don’t have anyplaces to park my car,” Sohailasaid.

“For me, it’s a serious mat-ter. It’s not somewhere I wantto move from. I established abusiness here.”

The 57-year-old business-woman has a thick file docu-menting her correspondencewith the city about her concerns. Ina letter from 2005, she explained thatosteoarthritis makes it difficult for herto park far away, especially when she’scarrying her laptop and heavy bags ofclient information.

“Up to now, I still don’t have anyplaces to park my car,”she said. “I requestedto pay monthly to thecity [so] I am able topark somewhere closeto my business.”

Ben Delville,owner of ClickRightComputer Solutions,said it would be idealif the city designatedsome business parkingin the area.

He relocated hiscomputer companyto St. Johns Street sixmonths ago, although he’s been inbusiness for five years.

“I’ve got parking problems here. I’vegot several tickets already,” Delvillesaid.

“It’s a struggle to find somewhereto park. I have to keep moving if I’msticking around here so I don’t get aticket.”

While he’s in his office, Delvillesaid he must move his car every hour,

which interrupts his workflow. Andhe’s not alone — his customers alsofeel frustration with the parking lim-itations.

“It’s hard for them to find parkingtoo,” he said.

Lily Wu, owner of Joe’s AtlanticGrill, expressed similar concern for

her customers.She has her own

small parking lot, butthere’s only enoughroom for her staff anda few diners. Whenher restaurant is fullto its 50-person cap-acity, parking becomesan even bigger issue.

“For customers it’sa problem. There’s notenough parking, onlytwo-hour limit. Wehave our own park-ing lot. My employees

have three cars. Customers have onlyfive or six spaces available,” Wu said.

“I don’t know where they can park.Sometimes there’s 30 or 40 people.They give a lot of tickets. The cityhall, the employees, they check …Thisstreet, how many restaurants are here?I don’t know where they park.”

Wu said a group of business ownersapproached city council with theirparking concerns two years ago, but

she hasn’t seen any improvements.Bylaw officer Tom Krish, however,

said the city has undertaken a towncentre parking review.

“Typically with businesses, theyare required to supply the parking fortheir own employees and for their cus-tomers … There are some areas thataren’t timed parking.But a lot of the time,the business employ-ees and customersare competing for thesame parking spots,”he said.

“So you, as a busi-ness owner, don’t real-ly want your employ-ees parking therebecause now you’retaking away from yourcustomers.”

Besides, there areother options, headded.

“In some cases, there’s a lot ofpeople taking transit too. There’slots of buses that run. There’s taxis.There’s carpooling,” Krish said.

For those who do decide to drive,they can look for spots on the southside of St. Johns that aren’t timedparking, he said. Yet on the north side,many businesses owners have request-ed time constraints to allow more cus-

tomers to visit their establishments.“We have quite a variety of con-

cerns. We have the business ownerswho want that turnover. Then we havesome cases where they want it for thestaff. They can look at the other streetswhere there is no timed parking,”Krish said.

“A lot of cases,people don’t want towalk that extra half ablock or block. Theywant to be able topark right in front,but they also wantto have the parkingfor their custom-ers. Again, they’re incompetition with eachother.”

For Hesabi, how-ever, the city needsto seek solutions toits parking problems,

especially since the Evergreen Linemay include a station near ElginStreet.

“They should do something,” shesaid. “If the SkyTrain comes, they needmore parking.”

She planned to speak at PortMoody’s council meeting Tuesday,after NOW deadlines. Hesabi also saidshe has spoken with a lawyer and isconsidering legal action.

This practice is not unusual, Chong said,adding that if taxpayers don’t like the payincreases, they can make their opinions knownat the polls.

“You’ve got to rememberthat there’s that tremendouscheck and balance in placewhere every three years or so,elected officials are subject toelection. So if the elected offi-cials are seen to be not reason-able in terms of the compensa-tion side of it, the taxpayerscan certainly exercise theirvoice at that time, if not beforethat,” Chong said. “That’s theultimate test as far as is coun-cil on the mark or not.”

PoCo council also decidedto add an annual transporta-tion allowance of $5,723 forthe mayor plus $1,812 for theacting mayor based on similarbenefits doled out in the fourcities with comparable popula-tions. Moore will likely loglower transportation costs than other mayorssince he usually takes public transit or rideshis bike. However, he will still receive thetransportation allowance as a lump sum.

When he departs as mayor, Moore willalso receive a severance package equal to onemonth’s pay per year of service to a maximumof six years. Chong said similar transitionallowances are being offered in Coquitlam,Surrey and North Vancouver.

B.C. Minister of Community and RuralDevelopment Ben Stewart said it’s importantto recognize that mayors and councils have

important jobs to do and that wages need toreflect the responsibilities associated withthose positions.

“Local governments are responsible for set-ting salaries and it’s up to them to explain the

rationale to voters in theircommunity,” Stewart said inan e-mail to The NOW. “As Iwas only recently appointedMinister of Community andRural Development, I wantedto take the time to personallyreview this issue with staff.Now that I’ve had a chance tofully review it, I can confirmall locally elected officials’salaries are publicly available.While there is a range in pay, itis generally directly related tothe size of the community.”

Coun. Michael Wright saidPoCo council hadn’t dealt withthe issue of raises for 15 years.

“It was always put off for onereason or another. We were,in my humble opinion, negli-gent in not doing somethingmore proactive over the last

15 years,” Wright said. “Then when it comes tocatch-up, it’s obviously far more difficult.”

Coun. Brad West said the situation is chal-lenging, but the process was fair. MeanwhileCoun. Darrell Penner noted that somebody hadto make a decision at the end of the day.

A staff report notes “this process is verybeneficial to the public as they see a direct cor-relation between the services they receive andthe price they pay.”

Moore did not return interview requests,nor did Couns. Mike Forrest or Sherry Carroll.Coun. Glenn Pollock was absent from the vote.

Re: “No gun shops in Port Moody, now or in thefuture: council,” Wednesday, July 21.

Yet another western town falls under the influenceof hoplophobia. The true reason behind the bylawis, as Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini said, “It’s justas simple as that. It’s not an activity thatcan be supported” — meaning if thecouncil doesn’t support an activity, thenno one should be allowed to do it. Goodthing Trasolini supports breathing, orelse we’d all be gasping for air.

Harper ‘pushing’ oil industryRe: “Gulf-size disaster looms,” letter to the edi-

tor, Wednesday, July 21.Enbridge is hoping we will all forget the Gulf

disaster soon so that they can get on with building

the pipeline to our West Coast. Coupled with that isa prime minister who is complicit with pushing oilindustry interests. Stephen Harper recently declaredthat he would allow seismic oil surveying in an areathat he had just declared the newest environment-

ally protected area, pristine LancasterSound. Seismic soundings, in orderto locate exploratory oil mapping,endanger the wildlife existing in thisprotected area.

So first you declare the area anenvironmentally protected area and

then you wait three months before approving oilexploration for the same place? How devious is that?Anyone who still doubts Harper’s connections withoil interests is fooling themselves. The prime minis-ter should be on the oil industry’s payroll.

M. SchooffPort Coquitlam

Ageneral crankiness seems to have taken hold ofthe electorate, which is bad news for politiciansof all stripes.

As a result, it has become increasingly difficult tohave a rational political debate about various issues.

I detect this anger on radio phone-in shows, ine-mails I get from viewers and readers and fromposts on various forms of social media, includingFacebook and personal blogs. And I hear from stran-gers who stop me on the street, ready tovent their hostility towards politiciansand governments of various shapes andsizes.

It’s not all directed at the BC Liberalgovernment, although I think theLiberals attract the biggest portion ofanger from voters right now.

The other day, while walking downbusy Government Street in downtownVictoria, I was accosted by two of themany merchants who have stores there.Yes, they said, they aren’t too happyabout the HST, but what is really making themangry right now is the rising cost of municipal prop-erty taxes.

They pointed to a couple of recent store vacancies,attributed, they said, to property taxes in the tens ofthousands of dollars.

I just finished reading a few e-mails from folksupset about another BC Hydro rate hike, whichcomes even as the Crown corporation reports hugeearnings every year.

Last week, there was the re-announcement of the

new Port Mann Bridge being a year ahead of comple-tion. Nothing new there, except a reminder thateveryone will be paying a rising toll for crossing itwhen it’s done in 2012.

Throw in the carbon tax that went up again at thebeginning of the month, plus the HST, which hasboosted the price of everyone’s latte, and you’ve gota lot of reasons to explain why people appear to be sofrustrated.

I’m sure a lot of folks feel they aregetting dinged everywhere they turnthese days, and they’re tired of it.

And so they are taking out their angerand frustration on institutions, officialsand politicians.

Check out some of the vitriolic bileto be found on the Internet. Google“Gordon Campbell” and “HST” and seewhat comes up. It’s not so much thewebsites that come off reading like theravings of seriously angry people, it’sthe comment threads that follow many

blogs and Internet articles.Because such postings are anonymous, people feel

free to vent their spleen and spew hateful stuff.And it’s not just Campbell who is a target on

the Internet. NDP leader Carole James seems to bedespised by many of the same people who profess tobe Campbell haters.

Here she is with a 20-plus point lead in opinionpolls, and there are still those on the left who wantto decapitate her leadership.

Two recent articles in left-wing media outlets

reflect the angst on the left. The comments follow-ing the articles for the most part excoriated Jamesand demanded that she step down before the nextelection.

This doesn’t make sense. But it is further evidenceof an irrational anger that is spread across the polit-ical spectrum.

For example, it has been near impossible to have arational debate on the HST. I’ve pointed out that theNDP estimates the average “hit” to a consumer fromthe HST is about $520 annually, which works out to$10 a week or about $1.50 a day.

But when I use those stats to make the point thatthe HST, while unpopular, may not be quite as hor-rific as some insist, I get denounced as a Liberalapologist or worse. Anyone who sticks their head upright now runs the risk of it getting shot off.

The trouble is, I don’t see any relief any time soonon any front. Unless the courts throw it out, the HSTis likely here to stay. (In fact, even if court actionderails it, I suspect it will only be temporary relief.)

Our BC Hydro rates will continue to increase, forat least a few years. The carbon tax will go up againnext year, and our municipal property taxes willcontinue to climb. And that Port Mann bridge tollwill take effect a couple of years from now, and theprospect of more tolls cannot be discounted.

Everyone will continue to get dinged, over andover again. And I’m not sure when that crankinessand disenchantment will end.

Rising fees and taxes causing ‘crankiness’

Issue a press release on a Friday, after dead-lines have passed for local papers. Check.

Discuss the controversial issue at the lastmeeting before summer break, when manyresidents are on vacation. Check.

PoCo council members may have thoughtthey did everything right when it came to fly-ing under the radar with their latest venture:to vote themselves massive pay raises. Buttheir plan backfired as the move made head-lines outside the Tri-Cities in both daily news-papers, as well as on TV and radio newscasts.

Everyone, it seems, is shocked that MayorGreg Moore is receiving a 27-per-cent payincrease, while his fellow councillors will get awhopping 42-per-cent raise.

In regular economic times, such a movewould attract its share of critics. As the reces-sion continues, however, many people havebeen unemployed for months, there are morefor-lease signs on offices and warehouses inthe Tri-Cities than at any time in recent mem-ory and B.C. residents are seething with angerover the HST and other fees and levies. Thatmakes the timing of these increases wrong.

Yes, we need to attract good people topublic office. Yes, paying them a fair wageis one way to do that. But if you think the27-per-cent and 42-per-cent pay increases arethe entire picture, you’re wrong. Moore willalso receive a $5,723 a year “transportationallowance,” essentially a bonus. And all coun-cil members receive one-third of their wagestax-free, a perk virtually unheard of in the realworld. Oh, and they have expense accounts.

City staff compared PoCo to other MetroVancouver cities with similar populations tocome up with a formula for the wage increas-es. Fair enough. But when it came to a “transi-tion” package for the mayor, staff looked at adifferent set of municipalities. Sounds like theycherry-picked to get the stats they wanted.

And so the merry-go-round continues. Onecity adds a perk, and the rest follow. Here’sthe difference this time around: Public angeris growing, and voters may not forget aboutthese shenanigans come election day.

Wrong timing, PoCo

View FromThe LedgeKeith Baldrey

LettersTo The Editor2009 WINNER


Will PoCo ‘cry poverty’at bargaining time?

I now know why PoCo city council reducedour garbage pickup while raising the ratewe pay for garbage disposal, and was activelyencouraging residents to recycle.

It was so they could recycle the thousands ofdollars saved into raises for themselves.

I believe a man is worthy of his hire — thatis, a fair wage for a fair day’s work — but howcan they justify a 27-per-cent and 42-per-centincrease? CUPE workers have had their wagescontrolled for the last 10 years. They have noteven kept up with inflation. I would love tobe the negotiator and listen to the council crypoverty next year at bargaining time.

Census decision a mistakeThe Stephen Harper government has once

again managed to raise a tempest where beforethere were but ripples. Having unilaterallydecided on a whim, with no consultation withthe public or major stakeholders, they willbe dropping the mandatory long-form censusbecause people don’t like it (like taxes?).

Statisticians and a host of both private andpublic sector organizations that rely heavilyupon this information have stridently objectedthat this decision will severely damage thequality and, therefore, the usefulness of thedata. It will impair decisions around urban andrural planning, health services, buses, rapidtransit, bridges, highways, schools, shoppingmalls, education, resource management, etc.

The idea to offset this loss by sending thelong form to more households for voluntaryresponse won’t resolve the problem at all,according to statisticians, but it will cost a

great deal more — more money for less value,not to mention the additional costs that willfollow from having to base policy decisions onbad information.

Personally, I didn’t like having to fill outthe long form. Yet I see the need for it and thevalue of it and, given that odds are that I needto do this maybe once every 25 years, I can eas-ily live with it as a civic duty. I can see no con-flict with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms;confidentiality is protected by separating thedata from the identities of respondents and theprivacy commissioner has found noprivacy issue. If there are indeedreal concerns with the currentapproach, fair enough, let us indeedlook at them. But let us have prop-er public input and, especially, hearfrom statisticians and all stakehold-ers. Let’s gauge the consequences and considerthe solutions. If this was anything but knee-jerk spur-of-the-moment policy, we could havedone this years ago after the previous census,but it’s too late now for this one.

This decision is ill-advised and clearly notthought through. The responsible action hereis to leave the upcoming census well enoughalone and engage the dialogue (if at all) for thesubsequent one. This will give us five moreyears to sort out the problems and examineways and means, if any, to properly resolvethem.

People do the most damageto the environment

Re: “Nature does the most damage,” letterto the editor, Friday, July 16.

I am writing to respond to the assertion bySandra Robinson that the Hope Slide, in south-central B.C., “dwarfs any damage that pastlogging, mining and other resource extractionactivities have done at the hands of man.”

She concluded: “there is nothing that wehumans can do to the environment that canmatch the devastating power of nature itself.”

She noted that the Hope Slide had a volumeof 46 million cubic metres of rock. This is tinycompared to the world’s largest open pit minein Utah, with a volume of 1.25 billion cubic

metres. Twenty-seven Hope Slideswould be needed to refill thisman-made crater. Then there isthe issue of human-caused globalclimate change, Ms. Robinson.

Lack of public washroomsleading to desperation

What’s more difficult than getting heaven’sdoor open for sinners? Getting a church toopen its washroom door to pedestrians. Havethere not been times in unfamiliar places whenseeing the word “washroom” has brought joyalmost worthy of celebration — before you findthe phrase “customers only” below?

The immense disappointment from suchincidents occurs quite often in our daily lives.

As a child, I remember running home blockafter block from school with a pale and coldsweaty face. Or waiting impatiently in lineto hastily buy a cup of Coke just so that Icould ask the clerk to open the washroom atMcDonald’s. There are a lot more examples. Aperson with their legs crossed almost faintedwhile waiting at the Coquitlam bus station,where the terminal is virtually isolated fromany other infrastructure.

The stories get worse, especially with peoplehaving GI problems, the big D (diarrhea) orweak muscles down there. If you start thinkingabout it, you’ll easily find a lot more examples.

One of the reasons we might not recognizethis as a serious problem is that we are soaccustomed to living in our own commun-ities. Everyone has their own places wherethey can go and express their sense of reliefwith “Ahhh.” However, knowing these favour-ite places cannot meet the needs of BritishColumbia. From Vancouver to Victoria, B.C. is“The Best Place on Earth.” Many visitors fromother developed countries are surprised to notfind public washrooms in public transit sta-tions.

This is a universal dilemma for people wait-ing for their bus or train: whether or not tomiss it and run in search of a washroom. Withmillions of tourists and visitors from aroundthe world, we need to be better equipped.

“The dust-control systemthey have in place appears tobe working. In this particularinstance, it looks like whenthey’re loading a ship, they’vegot somedust.”

While it wastoo soon tosay what theoutcome ofthe investiga-tion would be,Robb intim-ated that thiscase of dustmay not war-rant prosecu-tion.

He citedtwo dustcases inwhich MetroVancouverdecidedto pursuecharges: oneallegedlycaused mil-lions of dollarsin damage tonearby boatsin a marinaand the othercaused eyeinjuries toworkers.

“You typically spend$100,000 on a prosecu-tion. The companies lawyerup, we lawyer up and itgets expensive,” Robb said.“Prosecutions are unusual,but we do proceed with themon occasion.”

Pacific Coast Terminalsgeneral manager Ken Cattonsaid sulphur had been carriedup to the shiploader on con-veyor belts, where a chemicalis sprayed on the productto keep dust down. When

the shiploader was ready, itdropped a load of sulphur intothe hold.

“Because it was a brand-new hold with no sulphurin the hold, the shiploader-operator didn’t have the ship-

loader up farenough. So itdropped fromquite a heightonto the floorof the hold,and thatgeneratedsome dustfor 15 min-utes or so,”Catton said,adding thatPCT is nowamping upsuppressiontechniquesto ensure nofurther com-plaints.

“Withthis verydry weather,we’ve tweakedthe systemso there’s abit more dustsuppressantand we’veadded waterto it so wecan control

the dust going forward.”Catton said the company

has spent up to $90 million toupdate the sulphur terminal’sdust-suppression system in aneffort to be an “integral partof the community.

“We haven’t had a dustcomplaint in four years, sothis one took us by surprise.We do a really good job, wethink, of controlling dust inour shiploading operation,and not having a complaint infour years would say that,” he

said. “This is a very unusual,isolated incident in ourmind.”

The city sent out a pressrelease last week notifyingresidents of the dust incidentand stating it had no jurisdic-tion over the matter.

Mayor Joe Trasolini saidthis week that staff made therecommendation to release

video of the dust cloud afterseveral complaints from resi-dents concerned about poten-tial air-quality issues duringthe warm weather.

“That’s our policy to informthe public,” he said. “Theconcern is not necessarilythis incident, but why arethese incidents happening …The concern is one of what’s

happening in the operationof the loading. I’m sure thereare some reasons. I have nothad these sorts of reports inthe past. If it’s somethingnew, it indicates something’snot working in the loadingprocess.”

Metro Vancouver is expect-ed to generate a report fromits investigation.

Craigslistwarningissued

News

Police are warning onlineshoppers to be careful, aftera rash of transactions haveduped people into acceptingcounterfeit currency.

The RCMP’s Pacific Regioncommercial crime sectionsaid 70 Craigslist transactionshave been reported to LowerMainland police since June 25.

Some criminals have beenusing Craigslist, the popularInternet classified adver-tisement network, to passcounterfeit currency, and theRCMP has been tracking thetransactions to identify trends.

Sgt. Tony Farahbakhchian,the RCMP’s Pacific Regioncounterfeit co-ordinator,said the information is alsoused for looking at criminalorganizations and individualsinvolved in making counter-feit money.

In the meantime, however,those buying and selling itemsonline should be careful, hewarned.

“If you are meeting some-one you don’t know, there area few simply steps you shouldtake to ensure your own safe-ty,” he said in a press release.

In the majority of cases, hesaid, the buyer is meeting thevictim in isolated areas suchas secluded parks, on quietstreet corners or in parkinglots. The transactions aredone hastily where minimalcontact information is pro-vided by the suspect.

Many of the items selectedfor purchase with counterfeitmoney are popular electronicdevices such as IPhones,IPads, Xboxes, Wiis orNintendo PlayStations, whichcan be resold easily. Someof these incidents have eventurned violent — a victimwas bear sprayed in Delta andanother suffered serious injur-ies to his face, head and chestafter inviting a suspect intohis Vancouver home. Otherincidents involve the itemsbeing stolen.

Farahbakhchian recom-mends sellers obtain the otherperson’s contact informationbefore meeting and alwaysbring a friend. Location is alsokey: choose a place that’s notisolated, and preferably withlots of foot traffic like a cof-fee shop or mall where thereare surveillance cameras andpotential witnesses.

He also recommends thatsellers feel for raised surfacesthat should be on the bill, tiltthe bill and look for changingcolors and images, and lookat and through the bill for awatermark and a woven secur-ity thread.

“It is important to familiar-ize yourself with the securityfeatures on our Canadianbank notes,” Farahbakhchiansaid. “If it does not feel right,walk away from it.”

A healthy sense of self-worth begins in childhoodHealth

We establish our sense of self-worth inrelation to others, and in the healthycourse of our development through

the stages of our lives, we learn that we areeach worthy of love: receiving it (acceptance),experiencing it (feeling) and expressing it (giv-ing). Love is in all three modes: acceptance,feeling and giving.

If our self-concept is bound in appearances,materialism, control and status, life is futileand we are nothing in the end. All that willlast is our relationship to others; the love wereceived, the love we experienced and the lovewe expressed.

We all seek love and happiness, but we canbe misled by counterfeits. We can mistake adominating/dependent relationship as love andremain in an abusive relationship, and if weaccept disrespect, we adopt a diminished senseof self-worth.

If we allow ourselves to be objectified or

even treated as if we don’t exist as thinking,feeling persons, we can lose our essential senseof self-worth.

Some men objectify women, judging themby their bodies, seeking and using them assexual objects and conquests. Thisis the case with pornography,prostitution, in sexual assault andin dysfunctional relationships withseemingly normal people.

We can also be objectified andclassified as less than equal on thebasis of race, culture, language,social status and physical attract-iveness. And though we mightenvy the extremely attractive, theytoo live lives as objects to othersand often to themselves. They mayquestion their essential self-worth as theiroutward appearance ages — as it will for eachof us.

The origins of self-worthThe origins of our self-concept arise in early

life: our relationships with our parents and sib-lings, teachers and peers, trauma and abuse.

The circumstances of your birth can set thestage. Were your parents togetheror was your mother alone? Wasyour birth planned and accepted?Were you adopted? Did you feelloved by your adoptive parents? Atwhat stage of life were your par-ents? What were their priorities?Were they caught up with work,illness or their own struggles withself-esteem? Were they prepared,in spite of the demands of theirlives, to be the best dad or best

mom in the world to you?Most of us are not fully matured adults when

we become parents; in fact, parenting requiresthe humility to accept lifelong learning from

our children. We have to forgive ourselves justas we hope that our children will forgive us fordoing what we did and saying what we said aswho we were at those points in our lives.

Yet if we, in our words or actions, havemarred a child’s self-worth, we ought to havethe maturity and love to make amends and toput in words our real feelings toward them.Sons and daughters are haunted by long-deadfathers and mothers whom they are foreverseeking to please and whose love they struggleto earn.

How were you treated among your siblings?My wife is one of 10 siblings and each had aunique role, order and experience in child-hood. I was the middle of three children, andthough my parents were upfront and deliber-ate in treating us all the same and showing nofavouritism, we didn’t always perceive it that

way. We each measured our self-worth againstone another, though our parents never did.

In childhood, did you feel that you had towin or earn love? Did you have to compete forattention? Was parental approval and affectioncontingent on your marks, obedience or otherdemands?

Was the language of your childhood homeone of laughter and love, or was it one ofverbal abuse and criticism, punctuated withname-calling and put-downs?

I see many adults wrestling still with thenegative commentaries of the past: self-dep-

recating and self-defeating inner voices thatdetract from what they do and who they aretoday. If only today’s parents understood theirlasting impact — for good or ill — on tomor-row’s adults.

Parents’ role in self-worthThe role of a parent is much more than

feeding, clothing and teaching our childrenenough so that they can fend for themselveswhen they are 18. We have the key role in nur-turing a healthy sense of self-worth. We mustbe the first to demonstrate unconditional love

Health

— acceptance and affection that is not contingent on achieve-ment, luck or looks. We must teach caring and self-caring— that we have a responsibility to care for our bodies by notsmoking, abusing alcohol or drugs, staying physically active andeating well — while not obsessing with appearances that arebut a changing reflection ofour true selves.

We must nurture a languageof affirming conversation,teaching values, independence,interdependence and self-determination. We are chargedwith creating a positive butrealistic world view. We livein a relatively safe world withpotential dangers. Life will notalways be predictable, but you will have the resilience and socialsupport to cope and thrive.

So a parent’s message would be, “Love yourself, accept your-self, care for yourself and live a good and worthy life.”

• Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician. His columnappears regularly in this paper, and his Internet radio showcan be heard on PositiveWorldRadioNetwork.WeEarth.com.

A parent’s messageis vital to self-worth CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12.

Why does time drag — or fly?Family

We were reflecting the other day on howlong summers seemed when we werekids: day after day of playing out with

friends on bikes or roller skates, days out forpicnics and trips to the beach. Now, as adults,the summer seems to fly by in the same waythat the weeks to Christmas escape me —while they drag and drag for the kids, who arewaiting eagerly for Santa (sorry folks, anotherthree blinks of the eye and we’re going to beback into that season again).

It is interesting to think howdifferent our perspective on time isduring childhood and adulthood.To my six-year-old daughter, 10minutes can seem like 30, and tomy two-year-old son, those min-utes feel more like an hour if he’sasked to wait.

When it comes to parenting,“patience” is an interesting word.We seem to require oodles of it ona daily basis, and the more we havethe more we undoubtedly get out of our kids.

Having the patience to wait while Son “do itmyself,” even if we’re in a rush in the morning,inevitably pays off when he can indeed whip hisshoes on himself and be ready to go.

While our kids are pretty good at car jour-neys — they even managed without com-plaint on Daddy’s somewhat lengthy off-roadadventure recently trying to find ghost townsnorth of Pemberton — they are the product oftoday’s instant gratification society.

They don’t need to wait to get home for adrink thanks to juice boxes and sippy cups, andtheir favourite kids’ shows are available 24/7thanks to media centres and PVRs. They don’teven have to have the patience to wait throughadverts (thankful as I am to skip most of theadvertising onslaught) as we can either skipthrough them or strip them out after they are

recorded. No more waiting for the adverts torun to the bathroom; now we pause the filmanytime we need a bathroom break.

So when it came to learning to ride a bike,it was interesting to see Daughter struggle atfirst with patience to learn something new.She’d been flying around on her old bike fora couple of years and it was clearly time to tryher without training wheels. She was resistantto the idea last summer, but while we were

recently camping in our trailer,there were perfect (flat and quiet)campground roads to make themove.

Two wheels, here we come. Allwas great for about two minutesuntil Daughter proclaimed witha certain note of hysteria, “I can’tdo it. I will never, ever be able todo it.”

This tested Mom’s patience. Assomebody who works for the TerryFox Foundation and frequently

talks about the positive messages in Terry’sstory to share with kids, I dived straight in,pointing out that Terry wouldn’t have got veryfar if he’d had that attitude. We got back onthe bike again, but after a few wobbles andnear misses, we had another hysterical inter-lude, which nine adults failed to calm despiteemploying every tactic from comedy to diver-sion. It was another couple of hours before shedecided, quite abruptly, that she was ready totry again and then took off as though she’dbeen riding two wheels for a month.

Now she has a brand new bike with an 18-inch frame to master, and hopefully the restof summer will indeed be long enough for herto find the patience needed to get used to thebigger bike.

I grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania and have been playing football since I was in the seventh grade. From very early on,I knew I wanted to play professional football and focusing on that goal kept me motivated to do well in high school and get in

to university so I’d have an opportunity to realize my dream.After 10 seasons with the Lions, I still love coming to work every day and doing whatever I can on offence to help this clubwin a championship for the CFL’s best fans.

Growing up, I saw firsthand what could happen to kids who don’t stay focused on their goals so I’m very aware of making suremy own children are surrounded by positive influences, whether it’s encouraging my teenage son to do well in high school or

coaching my younger son’s football team. It’s also a big reason why I love taking part in our club’s community programs.Among the programs I take part in, I would say the Lions Pride program is one of the most rewarding because I’ve seen firsthandwhat happens to a young person’s life when they make the right choices. The decisions a youth makes today will affect themtomorrow and I take pride in knowing I may have helped direct one of these young people down a positive path.

The dynamics at work in theB.C. Junior A Lacrosse Leaguefinal could be pretty explosive.Or it could just be a dressrehearsal of more to come.

Fresh off a solid 3-0 sweepof the Delta Islanders, theCoquitlam Adanacs have onehurdle left before beginning theMinto Cup championship chasein earnest, and it starts tonight(8 p.m. at the Poirier Sport andLeisure main arena).

That’s where the Adanacsand the New WestminsterSalmonbellies will test out theirMinto momentum in a best-of-seven BCJALL playoff show-down, aiming to establish somesuperiority over the other.

With both teams automati-cally advancing to the nationaltournament, some may wonderif the best strategy in the finalmay revolve more aroundsurvival than win-at-all-costs.Don’t ask Coquitlam coachCurt Malawsky or New West’sDan Perreault that, though.

“I don’t think it does changethe motivation,” said Malawsky.“Both teams want to be pro-vincial champions, both teamswant that momentum headinginto the Minto Cup. I don’tthink either team is going totake it lightly.”

Considering the well-estab-lished animosity and competi-tion between the two clubs, it’shard to disagree. Coquitlamwon the season series 2-1en route to taking a second-straight league title with a 19-1-1 record. Not far behind werethe Bellies at 16-3-2 — who arecoached by Malawsky’s prede-cessor.

Perreault was relieved of hisduties last October after skip-pering Coquitlam to a playofftitle and the club’s first trip tothe Minto Cup in more thana decade. He says there’s nogrudge, just the desire to win.

“I think we are evenly matched,we’re the same two teams who’ve beenbattling all season long,” Perreaultnoted. “All year the goal has been justto keep building and getting better. Thekind of tight tests (between Coquitlamand New West) are the kind of gamesyou’re going to see at the Minto Cup.”

Malawsky said the semifinal sweepover the Islanders, which concludedFriday with a 10-9 victory, provided hisplayers with a good test and an oppor-

tunity to reacquaint themselves withplayoff intensity. Now the strategy is toconvert it into a more consistent fuel.

“Delta did some good things thatslowed us down but we also slowedourselves down,” Malawsky said. “Therewere definite things I liked and sawthat our execution was very good attimes, but there was room for improve-ment. New West is going to be a verybig challenge for us.”

The Islanders were not interested inany white flags, as they bore down and

made it a challenge for the regularseason champions.

In Game 3 and with their backsagainst the wall, Delta erased a four-goal deficit to take a 9-8 lead midwaythrough the third before RobertChurch and Riley Loewen put theAdanacs back in front.

Loewen’s game winner, a powerplaytally with 2:39 left, was his second ofthe night. Intermediate age-up WesleyBerg, meanwhile, scored four times inthe first 40 minutes, while Church fin-

ished with four points.The Salmonbellies, meanwhile, swept

Victoria 3-0.“It’s going to be a long, drawn out

series and that’s what we expect,”Malawsky said. “I think we match upwell, we both have the athletes, we bothhave lots of offence and good goaltend-ing so it will all come down to the workon the floor.”

The series continues Friday inNew West, and picks up again nextWednesday with Game 3 in Coquitlam.

It’s not the first time, butTory Nyhaug is aiming tomake it a great time.

The Coquitlam cyclist wasnominated last week to rep-resent Canada at the YouthOlympic Games next monthin Singapore.

The BMXer says he is goingin with the same goal heapproaches every race with— to win.

“It was really cool and I’mreally excited,” Nyhaug said.“It’s awesome, it’s the great-est country in the world andI love being able to representit.”

Nyhaug was one of fourathletes selected by theCanadian Cycling Associationfor the two-week competition,which starts Aug. 14.

The 18-year-old will bejoined by Steve Noble ofOntario and Stuart Wight ofNew Brunswick, where eachwill be required to competein two of the four disciplines— BMX, mountain bike, roadrace and time trials.

Currently ranked third onthe sports’ junior men’s tour,Nyhaug said he’s always excit-ed to represent Canada.

He just returned from RedDeer, AB., where he finishedfirst in the Canadian UnionCycliste Internationale tourstop, one week after placingthird at the Great Salt Lakenationals in Utah.

Nyhaug has already won theCanadian junior men’s titleand picked up third at theU.S. Spring nationals.

Before heading toSingapore, Nyhaug will bepart of Canada’s seven-mem-ber team at the 2010 BMXWorld championships inSouth Africa July 28-Aug. 1.

In April, he captured thesecond stage of the EuropeanBMX championships inFrance.

PoCo’s Watsonset for Singapore

It’s off to Singapore for PortCoquitlam’s Robert Watson.

The 16-year-old gymnastwas selected by GymnasticsCanada to compete at theinaugural Youth OlympicGames in August.

It’s been a whirlwind yearof strong results that earnedWatson his position on theteam, including a silver medalat the Canadian nationals inMay. Last fall, he competed atthe Junior Pan Am Games andposted the top Canadian score.

In the process, he clincheda top-five spot for Canada anda berth to the Jr. Olympics.

In the past year, he has alsocompeted as part of Canada’ssix-person team at the PacificRim championships inAustralia.

It could have been so much easier.The Coquitlam senior A Adanacs can lock up a play-

off position on Friday by beating the Burnaby Lakersat Bill Copeland Arena — six days after they failed todo the job on home turf.

The 8-9-0 Adanacs stand in a three-way tie for thirdwith Maple Ridge and Nanaimo, each with a gameleft. A win in their final game will lock up third place,no matter what the other two accomplish. But ifthe 6-10 Lakers, who need to beat front-runner NewWestminster on Thursday just to extend their hopes ofa playoff spot, should prevail, Coquitlam’s future willcome down to what the others do.

Maple Ridge plays last-place Langley tonight, while

Nanaimo visits Victoria on Friday.With the memory of Saturday’s 12-11 overtime loss

to the Lakers fresh in their minds, the Adanacs shouldhave all the motivation necessary to take control oftheir destiny.

Coquitlam blew a two-goal lead in the third, asBurnaby bounced back on goals by Trevor Moore andCalvin Craig to force extra time.

While the Adanacs jumped ahead once again, onmarkers by Dane Dobbie and Cory Conway, the vis-itors struck for three unanswered goals to deliver adisappointing result to Coquitlam.

“They came to play and they came to play again inovertime,” said Adanacs coach Neil Doddridge. “Their

season was on the line so they took the bull by thehorns and we didn’t.”

The lead changed hands a couple of times, withBurnaby taking a 6-5 advantage early in the third. Twogoals from Tim Campeau propelled Coquitlam into thelead, but the Lakers replied to tie it.

Dobbie and Steve McKinley appeared to give thehome crew what they needed with eight minutesremaining, putting the Adanacs ahead 9-7. ButBurnaby upped the urgency and Coquitlam stalled.

“It seemed like that was lacking on our part, forsure,” Dodderidge said. “I even talked about it beforethe game, between periods... Now we’ll just have to putour best foot forward (Friday).”

Playoff berth still to be decided as Adanacs dither against Lakers


Tom Hanks’ character in the movie ALeague of Their Own said ‘There’s no cry-ing in baseball.’

But there’s plenty of frustration and dis-appointment.

The Coquitlam Reds’ season came to asudden halt Saturday in Victoria when theMariners cruised to a 2-0 series triumph.

Coquitlam struggled in all areas whilefalling 9-0 and 13-1 in the best of three

quarterfinal, giving coach Kyle Williamsplenty to mull over in the offseason.

“Ultimately it’s my job as coach toget these guys motivated and I reallydon’t know why it ended this way,” saidWilliams. “We came out knowing what wehad to do, but we had no energy, no inten-sity, and Victoria had both.”

In the opener, the Reds fell behind 3-0in the first inning and 7-0 after two, with

ace Matt Trimble on the mound. TheMariners, who stoodd third with a 30-14record, got a two-hitter from ace AdamCessford.

It was a similar story in the second tilt,where Coquitlam trailed 5-0 early.

“We were just overmatched completely,we came in expecting a tight ball game butwe didn’t deliver. Victoria was pumped andthey kicked us.”
