Transcript of Coquitlam Now May 30 2012
WEDNESDAYMay 30, 2012
Port Coquitlam council has drawn up a fairlylengthy list of questions it wants answered as itgrapples with allowing a temporary homeless shelterto operate in the city for the next two years.
Council was briefed Monday on the status of theTri-Cities Bridge Shelter project, intended to bridgethe gap between the end of the cold wet weather matprogram and the opening of a permanent shelter onGordon Avenue in the spring of 2014.
The proposal is being headed up by the Hope forFreedom Society, which concluded its involvementwith the cold wet weather mat program at the end ofMarch, alongside the Tri-Cities Homelessness TaskGroup.
The proposed location for the temporary facilityis Grace United Church on Kingsway Avenue. Theprogram would operate seven days a week betweenOctober and March from 2012 to 2014.
Monday’s council briefing was designed to addressthe temporary use permit and other parameters thatneed to be ironed out between the city and Hope forFreedom. The society had originally sought a two-year term with the city, though council is recom-mending a one-year agreement that can be revisitedafter the first year.
Council also requested the public notificationarea for the proposal be increased in size to encom-pass all properties within a 120-metre radius of thechurch. A “good neighbour agreement,” one thatwill spell out the expectations of how the facility willbe run, will also have to be drafted between the cityand Hope for Freedom.
“[The good neighbour agreement] may not havevery strong teeth to it, but I think it will demon-strate that there is an understanding amongst all theparties, all the stakeholders, that what is expected ofthe Hope for Freedom Society, the facility itself, theresidents and the neighbourhood itself,” said actingmayor Michael Wright. “I think that that is a goodstep, because it will, at least, make everyone aware ofthe situation.”
The rules and regulations around the proposalwould be almost identical to those of the cold wetweather mat program: the shelter will operate from9:30 p.m. to 7 a.m.; 30 mats will be provided nightly;no ins and outs will be allowed; those who areintoxicated will not be permitted entry; and those inpossession of drugs and alcohol will not be allowedon the church site.

For years, the City of PortMoody has persistently lec-tured residents to take careof their garbage and be BearAware.
It looks like Port Moodyfirefighters are in line for asimilar reminder, after a resi-dent snapped shots of a trio ofbruins munching on garbageout of a container at Fire HallNo. 1.
Tamara Elias-Guerra livesin Suter Brook Village over-looking the back of the firehall and noticed the bearsSunday evening.
“I was quite taken abackby seeing them there,” shetold The NOW, adding shestill isn’t used to bear sight-ings since moving to the cityalmost a year ago.
Her photos show threeblack bears rummagingthrough the garbage of atipped-over grey waste con-tainer at the back of the hall.
Though the container isbear-resistant, it appeared tobe left unlocked by crews dur-ing the course of the workday.
Elias-Guerra said shethought it was ironic that thepeople expected to enforcethe rules around bear safetythemselves were dealing withthe problem.
“Everyone is human, every-body makes mistakes and Iguess that’s where we learnfrom and realize that it canhappen anywhere,” she said.

Striking CP Rail workers couldbe back on the rails as early asThursday, but the move by the
federal government to end the labourdispute is not sitting well with localemployees.
Standing in front of a picket linein Port Coquitlam, Pete Norman, alocomotive engineer, said the unionmembers were disappointed by thegovernment’s decision to end thestrike before a contract could be nego-tiated.
“These are elected officials thataren’t doing what the people want,they’re doing what the rich peoplewant,” he told The NOW.
Despite likely being forced back towork, Norman said morale among theemployees is strong. He also suggestedthe union has been gaining supportfrom the general public.
“Once the message is getting out asto what they’re [federal government]doing and what they’re trying to do,I think we’re getting more and moresupport.”
Nearly 5,000 CP Rail employees,who are represented by the TeamstersUnion, have been on strike sinceMay 23, while local workers set uppicket lines in front of the rail yards inCoquitlam and Port Coquitlam.
On Monday, the federal governmentintroduced legislation that would endthe strike if the two sides couldn’tcome up with a deal.
The two big issues in the disputefrom the union’s perspective revolvearound pension and working condi-tions.
Norman argued CP Rail wasn’tbargaining in good faith and was justwaiting for the government to step inand end the strike.
Others on the line echoed theircolleague’s sentiments.
Marc Torres is a CP Rail engineer intraining.
His training had to be halted half-way through because of the strike, butthe Port Coquitlam resident insists thejob action is worthwhile.
“It’s something that needs to hap-pen,” he said, adding there is a lot ofsolidarity among members.
Though Norman acknowledged
union members are losing money bybeing on strike, he called it short-termpain.
“We’d all like to be working, butunder a proper contract,” he said.
A major Port Moody employerwould also like to see the trains backon track.
Officials with Pacific CoastTerminals said the strike hasn’t hada big impact on the company’s oper-ations so far, but warned it couldbecome a major headache if it con-tinues into next week.
PCT vice-president and generalmanager Ken Catton explained thesulphur volume coming out of plantsused by CP Rail is already lower, whilethe manufacturer producing ethyleneglycol shut down its plant for main-tenance purposes.
“Our customers will start sufferingsoon, if this doesn’t come to an endsoon,” he said.
“We’d sure like to see these guys getback to work as quickly as possible. Itis costing the country and economy alot of money.”
PCT, which relies solely on CP Rail,typically receives about 50,000 tons ofsulphur and 20,000 tons of liquid eachweek.
In the meantime, employees atPCT have been doing maintenance onequipment to stay busy until the strikecomes to an end.

A couple of rowdy houseparties, a dispute betweenneighbours and a youngwoman vomiting in the backof a squad car.
They’re not the most com-pelling scenarios, but they arejust some of the calls mem-bers of the Port Moody PoliceDepartment had to deal withSaturday night.
And all the action was tech-nically live — if you followthe department on its Twitteraccount.
Once again, the depart-ment offered the public aglimpse of an average nightfor police officers in PortMoody through what it called
a “tweet along.”These are some of the high-
lights, and perhaps lowlights,from the evening as theywere actually tweeted by PortMoody police, in some casestongue firmlyplanted incheek:
• We areoff and run-ning for thetweet along.We’re receiv-ing a reportof a possiblyimpaired driv-er who is yell-ing at othermotorists.
• Neighbour dispute endedwith a minor assault and thedestruction of a contentiousfence.
• Impaired driver arrestedafter passing a marked policesuv on the right. Lots of badchoices there.
• Random yelling matchbetween two sets of people
on St. JohnsStreet. Partiesseparated andsent on theirway.
• We arefollowing upon a theft ofa charity coinbox from agas station.Suspect hasbeen identi-fied and we
are looking for him now.• Report of a man down.
Extremely intoxicated femalelocated and arrested for being
intoxicated in public. #thro-wupinpolicecar
• Motorcycle impoundedfor excessive speed. AirOne tracked it from theIronworkers Memorial, 150k/h on Barnet, 120 k/h on St.Johns.
• We have been to a fewnoisy parties tonight andyes, we are sharply dressed.Thanks for noticing.
• Traffic stop. Driver statedwas dd, sometimes that meansdrank less. Smelled likeliquor, glassy eyes. Blew 0 onroadside test. #DriveSafe
• It has been busy tonight.We’re now trying to dig our-selves out from the papermountain we are under.
Port Moody police spokes-man Const. Luke van Winkelsaid the department decided
to do tweet alongs as a way toget the community involvedand let residents know what’shappening in their neighbour-hood.
He noted the departmenthas an active group of follow-ers on Twitter who enjoy thetweets and often post com-ments to all the action.
“People are always curi-ous about what we do, what’sgoing on in their commun-ity and it is an interesting,fun and innovative way to letpeople know what’s goingon,” Van Winkel said, addingthe department will continueto offer the occasional tweetalong as long as followers areinterested in them.

What’s different is the fact that people won’tbe bused to the location, additional storagespace will be provided and the program willrun for an additional month.
The fixed nature of the location was a stick-ing point for many around the council tableMonday.
“The issue of loitering and of dispersal offolks is the biggest single problem that we’regoing to be having to struggle with,” saidCoun. Mike Forrest.
“I think the beauty of the [cold wet weathermat program] was that it moved around fromcommunity to community — it was shared,”said Coun. Glen Pollock, the lone councillor tovote against receipt of the report.
“It was in a new neighbourhood everymonth, and it had a new group of volunteersevery month.”
A public information session around theproposal will take place at City Hall on June11.

on June 11they are treating the incident the same as if itinvolved a resident, and have sent a warningletter to Port Moody Fire Rescue.
The city also noted the department has takenimmediate action to increase security for wastecarts at the hall between collection days andis looking at putting the carts behind a fencedarea to make them less accessible to bears.
Last week, city council voted down a staffreport recommending current and future com-mercial and industrial properties be requiredto have wildlife-resistant garbage and recyclingcontainers, and extra bylaw resources be usedto inspect properties in the evening to ensurecompliance.
Mayor Mike Clay, who voted against therecommendations, said the incident at the firehall hasn’t changed his mind. He argued hav-ing bear-resistant containers isn’t going to stoppeople from forgetting to lock them.
“They’re bear-resistant containers, but if youdon’t put the locks on them, that doesn’t meananything,” Clay said, pointing out the bears inthis case failed to get into the larger garbagebins on the site because they were properlylocked.
“Our goal is to make sure people are usingthe containers the way they were meant to beused.” The mayor also suggested the bears arealways going to find their way into something,adding he would prefer it to be at the fire hallthan a school or hospital.

Reviews launched over missing patients
With two patients stillon the lam, officials at theForensic Psychiatric Hospitalin Port Coquitlam havelaunched a pair of reviewsinto the procedures andprotocols of its unescortedday-pass program.
The first internal reviewwill look specifically at thecases of two men who recentlywent missing from the hos-pital.
The review is expected totake a couple of weeks.
In the meantime, the hospi-tal has suspended unescortedday passes for all patientsuntil the review is complete.
A second broader externalreview will take place examin-ing the hospital’s procedures,protocols and policies com-
pared to other forensic hospi-tals in the country.
The reviews come after twopatients went missing fromthe hospital during unescort-ed day passes last week.
On May 24, CoquitlamRCMP issued a warrant forGregory Owen Schleen, 49,who was last seen by a staffmember at the hospital theprevious morning.
He was supposed to be atthe Coast Cottages on theRiverview Hospital site laterin the morning but nevershowed up.
Just a few days earlier, awarrant was issued for DavidFomradas, 34.
Fomradas is the manbehind a bizarre carjackingin 2009 involving Vancouveractress Carly Pope.
In both cases, the RCMPnoted the patients’ mentalhistory and warned the publicto not approach them, andinstead call the police.
The two men have still notbeen located or returned tothe hospital.
Dr. Johann Brink, direc-tor of clinical services at the
Forensic Psychiatric Hospital,said he is confident the teamsand committees that grantedthe passes followed the pro-cedures in place, but calledfor the reviewto ensure it isdocumented.
When askedif the proto-cols shouldbe changedin light of thetwo incidents,he indicatedthe reviewcould identifysome changesthat mightneed to be made.
However, Brink stood bythe general policy of grantingunescorted day passes.
“It is our job to reintegratepeople into the community,but to do it safely,” he said,adding the hospital can’t justlock up patients forever.
“We are trying to predicthuman behaviour. It is noteasy.”
Word of the two incidentsalso garnered reaction fromlocal politicians and the com-
munity.Coquitlam Mayor Richard
Stewart requested a meet-ing between the city andhospital officials, while the
KwikwetlemFirst Nationexpressedits own con-cerns.
The bandsaid it’s beenin fear of suchevents sincethe hospitalre-opened in1997, not-ing severalfamilies live
beside the hospital.The band also questioned
why it wasn’t informed specif-ically of Fomradas’ disappear-ance until two days later.
Brink once again reassuredthe community the two menare not a danger to the public.
“By the time we feel some-body is ready for unescortedaccess to the community,obviously we wouldn’t do thatif we felt the patient was stilla danger to the community,”he said.
“We are trying topredict human
behaviour. It is noteasy.”

There’s a part of government that is spendinggargantuan amounts of money, yet operatesbeyond the scrutiny normally applied to such
operations. That would be BC Hydro, the Crowncorporation that has embarked on a multi-billion(yes, BILLION) dollar spending program that dwarfspretty much anything else in government when itcomes to brick-and-mortar projects.
However, the B.C. government has opted toshut down a three-week hearing by the BC UtilitiesCommission that would have peeled back the coversthat have hidden the details of many BCHydro activities.
Although most of the attention aris-ing from that decision has focused onrate increases, the real downside of it isa missed opportunity to shine a light onsome very expensive undertakings thatwill potentially hit taxpayers’ pocket-books in a major way.
B.C. Hydro is planning to spend wellin excess of $15 billion in the comingyears as it upgrades — and in someinstances, expands — its aging network of dams,generation facilities and transmission lines.
Just last week, the Crown corporation filed for apermit to upgrade the John Hart Generation Stationnear Campbell River. That project alone will costmore than $1.3 billion, but it’s far from being theonly expensive project on the drawing board.
There’s the $700-million transmission linebetween the Interior and Metro Vancouver, setfor completion in late 2015. The NorthwestTransmission line will cost more than $560 mil-lion, and the Ruskin Dam upgrade is pegged at $780
million. Then there’s the controversial smart meterprogram, which is budgeted at $930 million and maycost even more. Want more?
Well, the granddaddy of them all is the proposedSite C dam project on the Peace River. The cost forthis megaproject could exceed a whopping $8 billionif it ever gets built.
As an example of the huge amount of money BCHydro throws around, consider this: we’re still along way from seeing even a shovel in the groundfor the Site C project, and the corporation has
already spent nearly $300 million onstudies, consulting and a re-design ofthe dam itself.
To put that in perspective, that’s theequivalent of building five brand newschools. Or, to look at it another way,it’s about three-quarters the cost of thenotorious fast ferries (which at least gotbuilt). The spending spree is not theonly part of BC Hydro operations thatis worth a look-over by the BC UtilitiesCommission. There are all those long-
term contracts the corporation has signed withindependent power producers (IPPs) for new powerin future years.
Critics say the contracts mean BC Hydro will buypower at more expensive locked-in rates from theIPPs than it could get on the open spot market forenergy (although the counterargument is that BCHydro will have a secure energy supply that mayend up being cheaper down the road if prices on theopen spot market suddenly balloon, which couldcertainly happen).
Another controversial part of the BC Hydro saga is
the government’s practice of allowing the corpora-tion to “defer” paying for expenses until future years.
The B.C. auditor-general has condemned thispractice as masking the true financial health of thecorporation. And we’re not talking chump changehere: John Doyle estimates the total amount ofdeferred expenses could hit $5 billion a few yearsfrom now.
All these things could have been scrutinized bythe BCUC had it been given the chance. They likelywould have factored in BCUC’s analysis of what kindof rate hikes BC Hydro really needs.
Instead, once again the government has decided touse BC Hydro as a political football. It has arbitrar-ily set a rate hike that bears no relationship to fiscalreality (1.4 per cent next year, when the corporationis spending this kind of money?).
And it is another example of the complete betrayalof a key promise in the BC Liberals’ 2001 platform:that it would give the utilities commission realindependence from political interference.
To be clear, it’s hard to argue with much of BCHydro’s spending (hydroelectric dams, after all, needupgrading to be safe). But it would be nice for thetaxpayers’ peace of mind to know their energy com-pany was doing everything it could to ease the finan-cial burden when it comes to hydro rates, whichwill inevitably spike upwards big time a few yearsfrom now. However, the government has simply said“trust us” on this one. Don’t be surprised if mostpeople take a pass on that.
BC Hydro has become a political football
Re: “Legalization won’t solve woes,” Wednesday,May 16.
Mr. Bopp believes a few myths of his own:1) Prohibition of cannabis stops 12 year olds from
getting pot.2) Prohibition is the only solution.Allow me to burn his straw men. If
cannabis were legalized tomorrow thenall the people that would have beencharged this year wouldn’t, and thatwould indeed be a drop in the “crimerate” — fewer arrests, fewer convictions,fewer recorded crimes. A lower rate by definition.
Organized crime would be dealt a serious blow intheir wallets and, no, they wouldn’t disappear butmany would have to either go legitimate or turn toother more dangerous methods of making money.
If you think all the pot growers are going to turn
to kidnapping, extortion and robbery, you should layoff the booze.
Cannabis legalization may not be a panacea tocure society’s ills (the original straw man argument),
but it would allow people to choose forthemselves, liberate the medical can-nabis users from their onerous medicalcannabis regulations, make cannabistoo cheap to fill residences with, cre-ate a new source of tax revenue, reducepolice budgets and make our laws lesshypocritical.
There was nothing in his letter to support pro-hibition, only attacks on reformers. The law is theproblem. People aren’t going to stop using cannabis;deal with it.

Economists have always had difficulty tryingto put an actual value on the future.
They can crunch data to estimate whatthe value of an item or a commodity might beat a future date. Their formulas will even tellthem — or so they believe — how the economywill perform over the next few weeks, monthsor (with increasingly questionable accuracy)years. But few economists dare tackle the ques-tion of the future’s intrinsic value. What does itcost today’s generation if tomorrow’s genera-tion has no future?
It’s a difficult question. Most people, after all,think in immediate terms: what are they doingtoday, this weekend or maybe this summer?Some don’t think as far as the inevitable endof their own lives, fewer consider conditionstheir children will face after they are gone, andremarkably few think what the world will belike by the time their grandchildren grow old.
When asked, most people leave such con-siderations to others — they trust that our polit-ical and business leaders will deal with “it.”
But the truth is that our business leadersoperate on a bottom line that is concerned lessand less with future value — and consequentlyputs little or no value on the future.
And our political leaders, it seems, are con-tent with following the business lead. TheHarper government, which we entrust with ourfuture, has been doing little to inspire trustwith its make-a-buck-today environmental poli-cies.
With the federal Conservative agenda of dis-mantling world-beating environmental researchlike the Experimental Lakes Area and theKluhane Research Station, not to mention itsbacksliding on fisheries and gutting of environ-mental assessment protocol, Canada’s once-leading reputation for good science is beingrelegated to history — and there’s no future inthat.

The 2011-12 school year has been any-thing but normal and as we head intoits last month, I have been asked to
share the perspectives of members of the BCPrincipals’ & Vice-Principals’ Association.These illustrations, while not representative ofall schools, are examples of the real challengesthat many schools, students and parents havefaced this year.
Schools are typically vibrant communities,with a lot of positive interactionsboth in classrooms and out ofthem. School culture has beensignificantly eroded this year bythe continuing dispute betweenthe BC Public School Employers’Association (the body which nego-tiates on behalf of school boards with teachersin British Columbia) and the BC Teachers’Federation (BCTF).
The routine and critically important com-munications between teachers and principalsand vice-principals about student progresshave not occurred in the normal fashion. Asa consequence many students have not hadtheir important academic issues addressed in atimely fashion or at all.
This year has seen the cancellation of someChristmas and winter holiday performancesand routine student recognition assemblies.Some meetings about students who are hav-ing difficulties have not taken place. Meetingswith teachers to discuss the direction of schoolinitiatives and goals have not taken place.
Parents did not receive first term reportcards about their child’s progress. While someparents were able to get information abouttheir child, many did not receive this informa-
tion. Indeed, some parents reported that theymade electronic contact with teachers butreceived no helpful response. Students haveinformed us that they have missed out onnumerous scholarship opportunities as manyof these applications require leadership activ-ities to be considered.
Surprisingly all of this disruption has notgenerated as much public response as thoseof us in the system would have expected. Still,
principals and vice-principals oftenhear from parents that they areconcerned about vocalizing theseissues.
We have now moved into a newphase of this dispute. In manydistricts, the school day consists of
student instruction from bell to bell but littleelse.
If we, as adults, reflect on our studentexperiences, we know that instruction and for-mal learning opportunities are only part of thevalue of school. The interactions with teachersand others, through clubs, sports, fine artsactivities, drama performances, field trips andspecial school activities, make our schools spe-cial and create unique, memorable and invalu-able experiences for students. These enrichingand positive opportunities will not be a part ofthe public education experience for many ofour students.
Principals and vice-principals have hadmany conversations about a new normal thatis being established in our schools and theyhave consistently expressed a belief that thisis not a positive direction. If schools lose theenergy, character and culture that have beentheir hallmark, our students will leave their
public education years less well-rounded, lessprepared for their working lives and less likelyto champion public education when they areadults.
Principals and vice-principals do not havethe answers to resolve the issues facing ourschools, but we believe it is important to sharethe reality as we see it on a daily basis. Ourconcern, as this school year moves to a close,is that nothing will be different in Septemberand students will be forced to endure anotheryear of disengagement from the system.
There is no sign that a resolution is at hand.If this dispute continues for another year, thenegative effects will be long-term and pro-found.
Principals and vice-principals have workedhard this year to ensure that as many as pos-sible of the normal school processes occur,and they will continue to do so. However, thesystem works much more effectively to servethe needs of students and families when allpartners are able to work together to providethat support.
This latest phase in our schools will notallow principals and vice-principals to pick upthe many pieces of school life that will be lostand in the end it will be the students and fam-ilies of the public system who will miss out.
A respectful and workable solution must befound soon to protect the long-term viabilityof public education and to continue to givestudents the opportunities they need to thrivenow and achieve in the future.

My ViewJameel Aziz
School dispute is hurting students Tranquilize, don’t kill, bearsand other wild animals
Re: “Be Bear Aware or pay the fine,”Wednesday, May 16.
Rather than waiting for stray wild bears andother such potentially dangerous animals (cou-gars are the best example) to threaten or attackhumans before acting— which is usuallyto kill the wild bears— why not make ita solid habit to dosethem with as muchpotent tranquilizernecessary to encaseand relocate them all, alive and well?
But it appears that humanity’s superior-minded nature allows our collective conscienceto simply shoot dead wild animals for reactingin their natural, predatory manner.
How can we justify snuffing out wild animalsthat stray into our communities when we werethe ones who came along and procured themfrom their formerly wild territory to make wayfor our own homes?

GAS LINE BREAK: A portion of Coast Meridian Road in north Coquitlam was shut down for several hours Tuesdaymorning after a gas line in the area was ruptured by work crews. Coquitlam firefighters were called to CoastMeridian and Harper Road just before 8:30 a.m. It turned out a city contractor was working on a water line in thearea, but somehow hit a gas line in the process. That prompted emergency crews to shut down the road for twohours, while three homes were evacuated as a precaution. The line was eventually fixed by 10:30 a.m., and resi-dents were allowed to return to their homes. No one was injured in the incident.

Group plans for anniversaryOn Sunday, June 3, the
Riverview HorticulturalCentre Society (RHCS) willobserve its 20th anniversary.
Usually, a 20-year anni-versary is cause to celebrate,the group stated in a pressrelease, “but in this case howdo you celebrate the factthat it has taken 20 years oftrying to convince the prov-incial government that theRiverview Hospital site mustbe saved?”
The society’s missionstatement in 1992 was “Topreserve and protect the landsand trees of the RiverviewHospital site as a commun-ity-oriented, financially viablecentre for horticultural,educational and therapeuticactivities.”
This mission statement has
changed somewhat over theyears, only to emphasize theinclusion of mental-healthuses, which the site was firstset aside for in 1904 as a sanc-tuary and residential treat-ment facility for the mentallyill.
This is more important nowthan ever, the society states,“as the needs of the mentallyill are not being adequatelymet in the Lower Mainland.”
Riverview is also the site ofWestern Canada’s first botan-ical garden and has much-
loved trees, landscapes, herit-age buildings and vistas.
Members of the public areinvited to help the societycelebrate 20 years of workingto keep this site for mentalhealth, horticultural and com-munity uses.
The anniversary partywill be held in the HenryEsson Young building on theRiverview Hospital groundsfrom 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Guests are invited to par-ticipate in a question-and-answer session from 11 a.m.
to 1 p.m. about the heritageconservation plan currentlyunderway. After 12:30 p.m.,guests will be welcomed inthe tea area for refreshmentsand conversation. A variety oftree tours will be held startingat 1 p.m., followed by a herit-age walk at 2 p.m.
Everyone is welcometo attend, including thosewho have never visited theRiverview lands. For a sitemap, visit www.rhcs.org. Formore information, call 604-290-9910.

Contract concerns at citiesCoquitlam and PoCo are getting an extra
month to sign off on a new RCMP contract.On Tuesday, the province announced an
extension of the signing deadline to June 30,a day after both cities decided to hold off onsigning the agreement.
Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said acouple of city councillors wanted three extraweeks to get more information on aspects ofthe deal. Though the mayor indicated he’sready to sign the deal, he was willing to givehis colleagues more time to get answers totheir questions.
“Obviously at some point we have to make adecision, but I don’t want them to vote againstit because they feel they haven’t had enoughtime,” Stewart said.
He reiterated past statements that he is insupport of the contract, suggesting he’s happywith the work of the local detachment, whilearguing the creation of a municipal forcewould result in an enormous tax increase.
In a statement issued Tuesday, the City ofPort Coquitlam noted council voted against
signing the agreement, instead wantinganother month for issues in the contract to beresolved. According to the statement, a majorconcern for PoCo council is that the agree-ment does not include some key incentivesthe province had communicated on behalf ofLower Mainland municipalities, such as a def-inition of regional integrated teams and a morefavourable cost-sharing arrangement for them.
PoCo council also suggested there has notbeen enough discussion to ensure the cost-sharing formula for the new RCMP head officein Surrey’s Green Timbers area appropriatelyallocates the capital costs.
The city said it’s now working with severalother Lower Mainland municipalities and theprovince to address the outstanding itemsbefore signing the contract.
Cities across the province were set to signthe agreement in April, until it was revealed itwould come with increased costs for wages.
As of Tuesday, 41 of 62 B.C. municipalitieshad signed off, but the majority of the MetroVancouver municipalities had not.
Cougar warning issued
Port Moody police are warning residents tobe aware of a cat they probably don’t want tocome across by themselves.
A member of the force spotted a cougarwalking through Newport Village early Mondaymorning.
The officer shone his spotlight on the cou-gar, but that sent the animal running into the
wooded area behind Port Moody Fire Hall No.1.
Police note that while cougar sightings arerare in this area, it is not unheard of for thebig cats to travel into the city following deerand other food sources.
Conservation officers have been notified, butthe cougar has not been found.
Police are warning residents to be alertwhen using the trails and green spaces andto ensure that all pets are on leash and undercontrol.

Mall gets OK in PoCo
What appeared to be a healthy shareof consternation changed to a sense ofacceptance Monday, as Port Coquitlamcouncil moved a large-scale shoppingcomplex one step closer to reality.
Council voted 5-1 in favour of athird bylaw reading to pave the way fora shopping centre development at 1991Lougheed Hwy (at Oxford Street).
Proposed by Platform Properties, thedevelopment is still in its infancy andit’s not known exactly which retail-ers would be located in the complex.City staff are estimating about 45,000square feet of retail space would bespread over four buildings in thedevelopment, which was the home of aused car dealership up until two and ahalf years ago.
Platform principal Kyle Shurry saidhis group is in talks with a groceryretailer, which would serve as the“anchor business” for the entire site,but could not confirm what types ofother businesses would call the sitehome.
“We would love to be in a positionto handpick our tenants,” he said. “Butunfortunately that’s not the currentreality of our marketplace. What wecan give you some assurance on, isthat we will work extremely hard todeliver you a quality development ona high-profile corner that will helpattract new business and act as ananchor for the immediate neighbour-hood.”
Previously, concerns were flagged by
both residents and council membersaround a number of points pertainingto the site: access and egress, marketviability, how the development wouldimpact businesses in the downtownand on the north side and the inclu-sion of up to 10,000 square feet of per-sonal and health services uses — phar-macies, for example.
The proposal was the subject of apublic hearing prior to council delib-erating on whether to move it aheadin the bylaw process, and few, if any, ofthose fears were expressed.
Though one resident voiced hisopposition to the plan, seven othersspoke in favour of the project andsuggested the new mall would offera multitude of benefits to the neigh-bourhood: increased property values,improved commuting times, less con-gestion, job growth and an estheticimprovement.
“I think we’ve heard loud and clearfrom the neighbourhood that theyview this as a very positive enhance-ment to that neighbourhood,” saidCoun. Brad West.
Those points were not enough tosway Coun. Dean Washington, whoargued the city should not approvethe proposal until it knows the fulleconomic impact of expansion in theDominion Triangle.
“Is it going to enhance the neigh-bourhood? Maybe. But there’s aSafeway directly across the street,” hesaid.
Mayor Greg Moore was absent fromMonday’s meeting.
Fourth and final reading of thebylaw is expected to take place in June.
Move a surprise to someJohn Kurucz
For more than a decade, Jen andMatt Warner have been living nextto an empty lot.
But in a month’s time, the KyleStreet residents will have a newneighbour — complete with anentire house.
The City of Port Moody plans onmoving Centennial House to 126Kyle St. in an effort to save theheritage house from the wreckingball. The problem for the Warners,as they see it, is they only found outabout the move days before it wasbrought before council.
They said they were never con-sulted and still have a house full ofquestions about what will happento the heritage building in the longterm.
“We don’t want it [CentennialHouse] to be ripped down, but atthe same time we’d like to knowwhat’s going on and be notified,”Jen told The NOW, adding shedidn’t even know what CentennialHouse was until the notice of themove landed on her doorstep.
The couple suggested that,had the move been proposed by aprivate developer, it would havegone through much more scrutinyand public process before beingapproved.
On May 22, the provinceannounced it was giving the houseto the city in order to make way forconstruction of the Evergreen Line.
Later that day, city councilapproved permits to move thehouse to Kyle Street from its ClarkeStreet location.
The move is expected to be com-plete by the end of June.
Some city councillors acknow-ledged the decision to move thehouse was made quickly, but wasdone so to save the structure.
“Could there have been a betterprocess involved with the public?”asked Coun. Rick Glumac. “I thinkwe were bound by this tight timeline, and we had to move veryquickly.”
Mayor Mike Clay said he under-stands the Warners concerns, butnoted the city isn’t doing anythingthat isn’t allowed under the currentzoning on the property.
“Anybody who lives across from
a playground or empty lot, they getused to having it,” he said. “It’s nottheirs. They don’t have an entitle-ment to it.”
Clay suggested the next monthcould be used to consult withneighbours on the setback andorientations of the house in its newlocation.
“We may end up using it forsomething else. We may end upusing it for nothing. It may noteven stay there,” he said.
While council will eventuallydecide the future of the structure,the short-term plan for the house isfor it to be used as a second build-ing for the Port Moody Arts CentreSociety.
The house is a 1910 Edwardian-style building formerly known asthe Appleyard Residence.

Try top dressing in spring“Since I’m in Vancouver,
some of the annuals in mycontainers sprout again thefollowing year. I also haveperennial plants and bulbsin some of these containers.How do I deal with these inregards to putting fresh soilin the pots? Is it necessary?Or can I simplycontinue to givethem liquid fertil-izer?”
MichelleVancouver
With shrubs,trees, perennialsand anything thatstays in a contain-er for long per-iods, top dressingin spring is the best practice.
That is, you remove the topinch or two of soil and replaceit with something quite rich,like compost or potting soilmixed with a little fertilizer.
With your annual/perennialcontainers, you would thengo on to feed liquid fertilizerthrough the summer in theusual way. But container treesand shrubs usually outgrowtheir pot after a few years andneed a totally fresh changeof soil and a bigger pot. Thiscan sometimes be postponedfor a few extra years by doingextensive pruning of the topgrowth. But eventually a soilchange is necessary.
If no bigger pot is available,root-pruning and top-pruningare needed so that the treesand shrubs can fit into the old
pot along with the fresh soil.With annual/perennial
containers it’s also best torepot in all-fresh soil everyfew years because perennialsand even returning annualsultimately fill all the availablesoil with roots. At that point,they’ll need extra space or
division.
“Some of theleaves on myMonarda didymawere darken-ing and curlinginward with awhite, frothysubstance onthe underside.Someone at agarden shop sug-
gested a mixture of soap, bak-ing powder and water to besprayed on the underside ofthe leaves. Now the leaves arespotting, curling and I had toremove some that practicallyfell off. The plant looks quiteunhealthy now, although itused to be the most robust inmy container garden.”
Ray Kennedyvia e-mail
The white frothy substanceis a foam that protects a littlelarvae inside called a “spit-bug.” Though unsightly, spit-bugs don’t hurt plants. But ifthey bother you, just removethem from the leaves. Or pickoff the leaves.
I think the garden centreperson misunderstood yourproblem and gave you an
organic recipe for powderymildew.
Monarda is very prone tothis, but powdery mildew isdefinitely not frothy. It’s pow-dery. The curling and dryingis most likely caused by lackof moisture. Monarda is amint family member and doesbest in moist soil.
Containers are notoriousfor drying out when temper-atures rise into the early 20s,and in those temperatures it’sbest to water containers twicea day, especially if they con-tain moisture-loving plants.
Sometimes people combinemoisture-loving and drought-loving plants in the same con-tainer. This makes wateringvery challenging. I should addthat if your monarda is dry atthe roots for several weeks,this could trigger a real attackof powdery mildew.

David Azzi acquired his penchant for Italian cooking from his threeItalian aunts, Tina Brunoro, Nia Galassini, and Lea Bortoluzzi. Allthree are exceptional cooks and, through example, provided Davidwith the desire to emulate them. Another aunt, Anna Azzi, was aprofessional chef at a resort hotel in Tuscany, Italy. David’s mother,Gloria Azzi, also has a keen interest in cooking. As a child, Davidwould watch, and later assist, his mother in making pasta and varioussauces.
As a young man, David spent a year in Modena, Italy where hebefriended a chef by the name of Bollo. When Bollo opened his firstrestaurant, David spent endless hours training under his directionand learning how to apply home cooking to a restaurant setting.
Later, David and his cousin Roano Azzi opened the A-Wear Cafféin downtown Vancouver. The owner of A-Wear, Alberto Leone,provided this opportunity. Here David was able to use the skills thathe had accumulated over the years. With this experience he decidedto open his own restaurant in his hometown of Coquitlam. Thus theGolden Boot Caffé was formed.
The Golden Boot Caffé, located atthe corner of Ridgeway and Nelsonin Coquitlam, has been in existencesince August 1997. From the verybeginning, owner-chef David Azzihas emphasized that he was not incompetition with fast-food outlets,nor with restaurants that placedmore importance on quantitythan quality. For thatreason the food servedat the Golden BootCaffé, whether it be thepasta, the sauces, or thedesserts, is homemade.

The Parent as MediatorMaximize Family Activities
for the Benefit of yourChild’s Development
Families’ daily activities, such as shopping and cookingas well as fun activities, such as games or puzzles canserve as powerful tools enhancing a child’s development.Parents frequently do not realize the potential for their child’slearning when these activities are used purposefully and in amediational manner.
For instance, many children succeed by trial and errorto complete a puzzle. They may even develop strategieson their own. A parent can help their capable child by‘bridging’ these strategies to other situations. Why wouldyou organize puzzle pieces into groups before proceeding?What criteria did you use for sorting them? Color? Shape?Content? Where else would that be a useful strategy?When you have to write a story, would you first organize yourfacts? Always let the child know how impressed you areby their approach to the task. Younger children, or childrenwho may struggle, will learn through a mediated puzzleactivity what an ‘edge’ or a ‘corner’ piece is. They learnhow to compare systematically, and develop planning skills.They learn vocabulary related to the puzzle. They will learnsuper ordinate concepts such as ‘shape’ and ‘color’. Whenmothers of young children were videotaped while engaged ina puzzle activity with their child, one mother asked her childwhen the child requested help ‘what color do you see onthe puzzle piece?’, ‘where else do you see that color?’, ‘lookcarefully!’, while another mother responded to her child’splea for help ‘I am helping you, I am telling you where toput it’. Predictably, children of mediational mothers scoredsignificantly higher in standardized language tests thenchildren of instructional mothers.
Parents can play a powerful role in the development oftheir child’s vocabulary and language, but more importantlyin their child’s development in learning how to learn.

Family
The joys and trials of kids’ sportsNow that the kids are
older, it seems easierfor us to spend more
time getting fresh air andexercise.
That said, I’m find it harderto watch as my daredevilson pushes himself further.Both our kids areexcelling at thelocal bike parksthese days andit is great to seetheir satisfactionas they master theups and downs— literally.
However, Sonwill watch theolder childrenattentively, lookfor new “tricks” and tryjumps that kids twice his age(including his sister) will hap-pily leave alone.
We have bought the full-face helmet and the elbow andknee pads and, until recently,despite some pretty big wipe-outs, he had managed to pickhimself up and get pedallingagain. Until, that is, he col-lided with another rider lastweek and took a handlebar tohis stomach, which had methinking about wrapping himtop-to-bottom in cotton wool.He was fine, but I’m nowlooking for chest armour.
A day later, he took abaseball to his mouth in the
middle of his team practice.Fortunately, he was wearingall of the appropriate protec-tion.
The fact is we can’t wrapour kids in cotton wool andwe can’t stop them fromgetting hurt. And when he
was awarded thePlayer of theNight trophyby his coach, itbecame apparentthat the joy hegets from gettingoutside and beinginvolved in thesefun sports andactivities is clearlyworth the risks.
What was lessthan easy was signing him upfor baseball in the first place.Admittedly, his inept mothermistakenly signed him upfor softball (I’m from the UK— there’s a difference?) onlyto have to ask for a refund andstart the process over onceit became clear I’d made amistake.
However, I was incredu-lous to then find out that Icouldn’t register him withhis daycare buddy because wedidn’t live in Port Coquitlam.We have to be “released?” Cananybody explain to me why onEarth a four-year-old shouldbe beholden to play for a par-ticular city?
I thought we wanted act-ive kids. The governmenteven provides a tax creditto encourage our kids to dosports. And yet, here I amwith a four-year-old who justwants to try baseball for thefirst time with his buddy fromdaycare and suddenly, becausewe (technically) live in differ-ent cities (less than 10 min-utes apart) we have to requestto be released and that has tobe approved by his home cluband the B.C. association.
Could we put up more hur-dles to stop kids from partici-pating? And for what? Becausesome four-year-old might bea good player on their T-ballteam? And apparently it’s notjust baseball. If Son wants toplay soccer or hockey we’re infor the same protocol.
Getting Daughter into skat-ing last fall was not mucheasier.
Registration opened at 8.30a.m., just as we were settingoff to school — and so withparanoia that the Bluetoothmight drop the call, I haddaughter holding the phone(she was on hold) all the wayto school and as we droppedSon at daycare.
I then met a friend atschool to go to a work eventtogether and asked her tohold the phone (still on hold)as I drove to the meeting. Of
course, halfway there the callwas answered and I scrambledto pull over and take the call,feeling like a Stanley Cupwinner to have got the classI wanted after 40 minutes onhold. Crazy.
While I think it’s great thatthe kids are getting more act-ive and while I will continueto work on not showing myfears as they push their limits,could somebody please take alook at some of these systemsand see if there isn’t a betterway to ensure parents don’thave to sacrifice their owntime just to spend countlesshours computer- or phone-bound trying to get their kidsregistered for sports?
Please?

Dogs with Bobby Orr KneesDr. Wayne Etherington - Clayton Animal Hospital
132 - 19653, Willowbrook Drive, Langley, BC V4N-5R7604-530-3802 [email protected]
As any Canadian hockey fan can tell you, Bobby Orr had to curtail a brilliant NHL hockey career due toosteoarthritis of his knee joints resulting from a hard driving spectacular playing style that resulted in numerous kneeinjuries. There are many athletic dogs that suffer from similar knee injuries. I am referring to rupture of the anteriorcruciate ligament or ACL.
There are many ways to surgically repair this injury in dogs but the 3 most commonly used are the Fabellar Implant( cost $1300 to $2500), the TTA ($2,000 to $3,500 ) and the TPLO ($4,000 to $5,000). The range in price is due to somesurgeries taking longer than others due to cartilage repair that is needed in some and not in others, as well as overor undercharging by some veterinarians.
The most commonly performed corrective procedure is still by far the Fabellar implant. Not only because itcosts 30 to 50 percent less than the other 2 procedures, but also because no comparison studies performed to dateindicate any long-term advantage to your pet of one procedure over the other. There are veterinarians who will tellyou with great conviction that the procedure they are most comfortable doing (and possibly make the most moneyon) is better. They are misguided.
The TPLO surgery is the most invasive of the 3 procedures as it entails cutting the entire circumference of the tibiaabout an inch below the stifle joint. You can imagine that if the fixation device that is used to stabilize the bone oncethe TPLO procedure is completed fails….the patient may be crippled for life. This rarely happens, but there is oneGolden retriever in our area that had the procedure done at a referral clinic in Vancouver, and is unable to use theTPLO leg due to complications arising from the surgery.
The TTA surgery is less invasive than the TPLO procedure. TTA technique results in a faster (2-4 weeks) returnto full use of the limb than the Fabellar Implant repair technique (4-10 weeks). This convenience may be worth theextra $1,000 to $2,000 cost to some clients who are very busy with business and family concerns.
I have only performed 15 TTA procedures all on 70 to 80 lb dogs under 6 years of age. They are doing well. Ihave performed 104 Fabellar Implant cruciate repair surgeries since February 2009. These dogs require anywherefrom 1 to 10 days to start walking on the surgery leg. The 5 dogs on which I performed the TTA procedure sinceearly November, all started walking on the operated leg within 4 days post surgery.
Fifteen percent of the dogs that I have performed cruciate repair surgery on haveruptured the cruciate ligament of the opposite leg within a year of the first surgery.
In conclusion I would like to emphasize that while Bobby Orr continued to re-injure his knees and was forced to retire early, the cruciate repair surgery preventsthis scenario in your canine family members. However, if left unattended for anextended period of time canine cruciate ligament rupture can result in debilitat-ing osteoarthritis. Make the best decision for your 4 legged buddy and get thecorrective surgery performed.

B.C. wines: a lot to offerRecently, a colleague complained to me
regarding the lack of quality of B.C.wines. I think he had just returned from
a European wine tasting tour.I believe the B.C. wine industry produces
outstanding wines so I was rather shocked tohear his opinion. We have a short history com-pared to the thousands of years that Europehas had to produce its wines. In fact, the mod-ern quality varietals have only beencrafted in B.C. beginning in thelate 70s.
We often take for granted thetype of B.C. wines we enjoy now,such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer,Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.Forty years ago British Columbianshad to endure sweet sparklingwines made from Concord grapesand fortified wines whose alcohollevels disguised the off flavoursand foxy aromas. If you wanted a good bottleof wine you had to buy imported French orGerman wines.
It was only in the mid-70s that grape grow-ers, backed up by government research grants,began to experiment with premium vinif-era grapes that produced world-class winesthat mostly came from Europe at that time.Thousands of different vines were planted andonly a few showed promise. The vines selectedwere producing predominately white grapes. Afew brave souls ventured into growing and pro-ducing top quality wines in the late 70s, led bysuch wineries as Sumac Ridge and Gray Monk.These wineries, along with 11 others, were thesum total of wineries in 1984.
In 1988, Canada signed the North AmericanFree Trade Agreement and the B.C. wine indus-try lost its long-term government subsidies.Without these subsidies the wine industry as itstood could no longer compete with imported
quality wines from around the world. Many leftthe business but a few pioneers realized thepotential of the Okanagan and persevered.
Fast forward to 2012, when more than 190wineries now call B.C. home. Seven hundreddifferent wines are released every season andthe list keeps growing each year. B.C. produ-ces some of the best aromatic-style wines inthe world, led by Riesling, Gewürztraminer,
Ehrenfelser, Kerner andSiegerrebe.
A few new spring releases provethe point that B.C. is producingquality wines. Tinhorn CreekPinot Gris 2011 is exploding withpear, apple and apricot essences.A firm, dense mid palate ends incrisp, dry style.
Hester Creek has just releasedits 2011 whites. Among the line-up is a single vineyard Trebbiano,
crafted from vines planted in 1972. The 2011Trebbiano Old Vines is full-bodied with subtleacids and aromas of pear, apple and flint blend-ing together seamlessly, ending in a long,satisfying finish.
Moon Curser is one of the most underratedwineries in the province. The just-releasedSyrah 2010 is an example of a Rhone-stylewine with white pepper, black cherry and amelange of spice flavors. Finesse is the bestway to describe the wine, as it blends thebest of new and old world styles. These newreleases prove to me that B.C. wines may nothave thousands of years of history, but they aremaking history in improving year after year.

Each game is a primer for the big moment.Every practice is a rehearsal for that distant
dream.And every day the opportunity nears to make it all
come true.Members of Canada’s women’s basketball pro-
gram understand the odds and chances of earning aticket to the 2012 London Olympics.
A series of exhibition tilts map out a tough routeto next month’s Olympic Qualifying tournament inTurkey — a route that like tales of old, could pro-duce veritable spice and riches.
A top-five finish for Canada would guarantee aseat.
Coquitlam’s Megan Pinske is glad to be on thisride, and is eager to help her teammates achievethat berth to the Summer Games.
“I was pretty excited,” said Pinske on being namedto the women’s national squad this spring. “Thetryout was pretty gruelling, we had four days of two-a-days and (head coach) Alison (McNeill) said it wasour most competitive tryout. It’s just really excitingto be a part of this.”
The club wrapped up a three-game exhibition
slate against No. seventh-rated Chinese nationalteam, with No. 11-ranked Canada prevailing twice.
Pinske, who has embraced her role as a heart-and-grit guard off the bench, contributed in herfive minutes of floor time in the final game inAbbotsford against China — a 45-37 victory.
Nearly all her playing time came in the secondquarter, when the home team clung to a slim leadagainst the more physical, taller Chinese lineup.The fourth-best squad at the Beijing Olympics, theChinese roster includes six-foot-nine Wei Wei andsix-foot-six Liting Zhang — tough marks for anydefence.
That Canada was able to win a best-of-three setprovides room for strong hope heading to TurkeyJune 25.
Pinske said it’s a major test just preparing againsther own teammates, who include national team leg-ends Kim Smith and captain Teresa Gabriele. Withthe likes of Gabriele, Shona Thorburn and AlishaTatham topping the point guard depth chart, Pinskeunderstands that minutes will be at a premium.Maxing out those minutes with her intensity andcourt smarts will be critical.
“It’s hard because I’m up against two amazingpoint guards, but to me, I look at it as such a way tolearn and to experience and grow,” she said. “Havingsomeone like Teresa and Shona to learn from, they
are both so smart.“I go into training camp every summer and I
feel like I walk away having learned so much. Everysummer it’s this building process.”
This is Pinske’s sixth year in the national pro-gram, beginning in 2005 with the youth squad. Shehas 44 international games to her credit, includinglast year’s Universiade in China, where she averaged6.8 points and over 27 minutes per game with thewomen’s national development side.
The 23-year-old, who played the past season withthe TV Sarrlouis Royals of the German pro circuit, iseager to contribute. In the fourth quarter as Canadawedged its lead with some clutch shooting inAbbotsford, Pinske brought the energy and positivevibes from the bench, jumping to her feet at everybig bucket.
Her years as a starter with Western Washington,after being a first team provincial all-star with thePort Moody Blues in 2006, prepared her for this newrole.
“I think everybody has a role to play on this team.If it’s on the bench it is still an important role.Everyone gets into it, and if you can bring energythat way I’m for sure going to do it,” she said.
To get Canada back to the Olympics — where
One period does not a gamemake. But it sure can spoil an out-ing.
The Coquitlam Adanacs puttogether a classic road performanceover 40 minutes only to see it slipaway Sunday in a 7-4 loss to theNanaimo Timbermen.
The visiting Adanacs saw a 4-2lead evaporate over the final frame,when Nanaimo counted fourunanswered goals to pick up itssecond win of the Western LacrosseAssociation season.
Without the services of sniperDane Dobbie, who injured a kneein Saturday’s 9-7 loss to the NewWestminster Salmonbellies,Coquitlam’s offence ran dry in thethird.
The visitors had reversed a 2-1deficit with three straight goals latein the second, with rookie DanielMcQuade, Jason Jones and DarylVeltman giving the Adanacs a two-goal advantage after 40 minutes.
Then a former teammate kickedoff Nanaimo’s comeback.
Ex-Adanac Cory Conway made hisdebut with the T-men memorableby scoring the first goal of the thirdas part of a three-point night.
The Timbermen picked upConway a week ago for a secondround selection in 2013 and a firstround draft pick in 2014.
“We figured we were on our wayto a win (Sunday),” said A’s generalmanager and assistant coach RandyDelmonico. “We hit the post about100 times and the ball just didn’tbounce our way in the third, whileit seemed to bounce for them.”
Veltman finished with a goal andtwo helpers, while freshman JaxsonLee also scored. On Saturday, NewWest never trailed after staking outa 5-2 advantage in the first period.
Coquitlam pressed and pulledwithin a goal on markers byVeltman, Tyler Gohringer andKevin Olson in the second. Afteran early goal in the third gave NewWest an 8-6 margin, Coquitlam’sTravis Cornwall made it a one-goalgame with five minutes to play. TheBellies added an empty net goal.
Dobbie and Olson both postedthree-point games.
Dobbie was expected to have anMRI this week on the knee.
On the defensive ledger,Delmonico was pleased with theclub’s overall performance.
The Adanacs now prepare forSaturday’s match against thedefending league champion LangleyThunder, who visit the Poirier SportCentre (7 p.m.).
