While the City of Port Moody con-tinues to fight to keep Burrard Thermalopen, the leader of the provincial NDP iscalling on the government to reverse thedecision to close the generating plant.

NDP leader John Horgan said BurrardThermal should stay as it is, as a backupgenerator, and is calling for the prov-incial government to consult with PortMoody residents.The whole point of having Burrard

Thermal is to stabilize the system its critically important to Hydro. If the

government spent five minutes thinkingabout it, they would come to a betterconclusion, he told the Tri-Cities NOW.Horgan made the comments in

Coquitlam following a luncheon Fridayhosted by the Tri-Cities Chamber ofCommerce.

THE GUYWAS JUSTHAVINGABADDAY, FIRE CHIEF SAYS

CONTINUED ON PAGE 4


Its a house-sitters worst nightmare: youre taking care ofsomeones home, and accidentally set it on fire.Thats the situation one man is facing, after a house in the

3700 block of Coast Meridian Road caught fire just beforenoon on Sunday.PoCo fire chief Nick Delmonico said the house-sitter, a rela-

tive of the homeowner, was smoking a cigarette outside whenit somehow lit the deck on fire. Nearby cedar siding caused theblaze to spread, first to the roof, then to the inside of the home.By the time firefighters put it out, the damage totalled

$50,000.Delmonico said a fast response by crews helped save the

home.Our guys were there really quickly and did a good job of

putting it out right away, he told the Tri-Cities NOW.Its not clear when the home can be reoccupied, as the

power and gas had to be shut off and the house will have to beassessed before the utilities can be turned on again.No one was injured in the blaze, and its believed the only

person in the home was the house-sitter.Delmonico said the fire is not suspicious, but called the cir-

cumstances unusual.Its very unusual its not that easy to do, he said of the

house-sitter starting the blaze from outside the home. Theguy was just having a bad day.

Jeremy [email protected] cause of a fire that tore

through three homes lastweek in Coquitlam has beendetermined.According to the City

of Coquitlam, the fire thatbroke out at a home at 3000Riverbend Dr. is not con-sidered suspicious and start-ed in an overheated cookingdevice being used in the gar-age of one of the homes.The specific cooking device

was not identified.The city is also reminding

residents that most outdoorcooking devices should onlybe used in well-ventilated,non-enclosed areas and keptaway from any combustiblematerials.

Fire crews were called tothe housing development onRiverbend Drive on the even-ing of March 9 after a blazebroke out in a garage.The fire quickly moved

from the garage to the home,which was in the middle offive single-family homes. Bythe time the fire was out, theflames had spread to all fivehomes in the row, causingextensive damage to threebuildings. Two people weretaken to hospital with minorburns, while 15 were dis-placed at least for the even-ing, but likely longer.The March 9 fire came

three weeks after 24 unitswere destroyed in a massiveblaze on Glen Drive that dis-placed more than 100 resi-

dents.While the cause of that fire

wasnt officially determined,investigators believe it start-ed on a lower-level balconyadjacent to a barbecue andnearby recycling material.The fire prompted the

city to issue a similar warn-ing to the public, suggestingresidents of structureswith external balconies arereminded to be aware of thepotential for rapid, uncon-trolled spread of fire due tooutdoor cooking or heatingdevices and accumulatedhousehold goods or combust-ible materials.Its been a busy start to the

year for the Coquitlam firedepartment, which has hadto deal with three major firesin the last two months.In January, a late-night fire

razed twobusinesses at a stripmall on Barnet Highway.

NEWSNOWJeremy [email protected] popular youth service that began in the

Tri-Cities but expanded across the FraserRiver into Langley, is discontinuing its servicein the new community.ACCESS Youth Outreach Services Society

announced last week it will pull its ProjectReach Out mobile drop-in centre program outof Langley as of March 28.The organizations executive director,

Jerome Bouvier, explained a lack of fundingforced the closure of the service in the muni-cipality.Its got to the point where we just cant do

it any more, he told the Tri-Cities NOW.Its disappointing that, given the success

weve had with our program over the 10 yearsin both Tri-Cities and in Langley, that kids willnow be without [it] in Langley and again notbeing able to secure any kind of substantialongoing funding of any source from munici-palities or provincially.Bouvier estimated the society needed about

$120,000 to operate the service in Langley.ACCESS Youth, which began in the Tri-

Cities as PoCoMo Youth Services, expandedinto Langley in 2012 after getting originalsupport for a pilot project.Bouvier warned the withdrawal of service

in Langley could have an impact on oper-ations in the Tri-Cities.

He said the organization is in a similarsituation on this side of the Fraser, continually

having to search for funds every year withouthelp from municipalities.He said its possible the society will have to

pull the outreach bus off the road again for atime, like it has done on three or four occa-sions in the past decade.The last time the bus was off the road in the

Tri-Cities was in 2012.The society needs about $250,000 annu-

ally to run basic programs in the three com-munities.Besides offering school and after-school

programs, ACCESSs major service is ProjectReach Out, a youth drop-in centre on wheelsthat operates after-hours on weekends.Bouvier argued with SkyTrain coming

next fall, outreach programs like the kindhis organization provides will be extremelyimportant.He noted the organization has looked at

funding from TransLink to provide outreachalong the Evergreen Line stations.There is lots of potential for us to do more

here if we had a core funding base, Bouviersaid.Meanwhile, ACCESS Youth is holding its

annual general meeting on March 25 at thePoCo Inn & Suites.To learn more about the event and the

Stringing of the transmission line (conductors) along the new transmissiontowers for the Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission Project has begun.

Helicopters are required for this work. The contractor has obtained thenecessary permits and permissions and is in compliance with TransportCanada requirements.

Conductor ends will need to be joined with the use of an implosiveconnector that is a metallic sleeve with a small charge in it for eachconductor. Using safe and controlled methods, the sleeves are detonatedwhich compresses (welds) the conductor ends together. This split-secondprocess will create several ashes with smoke and very loud bangs.

Trafc control measures will be in place as needed. Work hours willconform to municipal bylaws.

The new 247 kilometre, 500 kilovolt transmission line between Merritt andCoquitlam will expand the capacity of the system that brings power tobusinesses and homes in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

INTERIOR TO LOWERMAINLANDTRANSMISSION PROJECTCONDUCTOR STRINGINGWORK

The NDP leader said hedoesnt see the generatorbeing used all the time, andsuggested closing the facilitywill cost more in the long run,calling the plan foolhardy.Earlier this year, the prov-

ince confirmed plans to closeBurrard Thermal in 2016.The move has been

opposed by the City of PortMoody, and could cost themunicipality more than $1million in tax revenue.The province noted the

closure will save BC Hydro$14 million annually.Horgan suggested BC

Hydro should pay a carbon

price for emissions fromBurrard Thermal, whichcould then be put back intotransit.And speaking of transit,

that was one of the big topicsHorgan touched on duringhis speech to the chamber.The NDP leader said his

party is supporting the Yesside in the upcoming transitreferendum, but wasted notime blasting Premier ChristyClark over her handling ofthe issue.For the premier to say

this is the mayors problemis such a complete abdicationof leadership, it almost defiesdescriptions, he said, addingit was the premiers idea tohave a referendum and shesnowhere to be seen.

While the Yes side appearsto be in trouble based onrecent polls, Horgan said itneeds to continue to be posi-tive and talk to people aboutthe importance of makinginvestments in transit andtransit infrastructure.Lets try as best we can

to not make this referendumabout TransLink, becausethats what the No sidewants, he said.Horgan also indicated

his party would tackleTransLinks governancemodel, but said a Yes votein the referendum is the firstpriority.The NDP leader was also

asked for his thoughts on therecent move to raise the min-imum wage by 20 cents this

fall to $10.45 an hour.He said the NDP would

have raised the wage by morethan a couple of dimes, butdidnt give a specific num-ber. However he pointed towages in other provinces, inthe $12-per-hour range.Its about getting [min-

imumwage] to a point whereit is competitive with otherjurisdictions, Horgan said,adding the BC Federation ofLabours call for a $15 min-imum wage is an objective,but not something to bebrought in overnight.In response, Coquitlam-

Burke Mountain Liberal MLADoug Horne called the wageincrease a balancing act,noting the average hour-ly wage in the province isaround $25. He also refut-ed some of Horgans claimsabout minimum wages inother provinces, adding B.C.sis in the middle of the pack.As for Burrard Thermal,

Horne defended his govern-ments position to close thefacility, arguing its costly tooperate.He also said he sees a lot of

white smoke coming fromthe facility, which is a con-cern environmentally.From a local standpoint,

I applaud the decision, hesaid.

youth, who cannot be identi-fied because he is a youngoffender, has pled guilty tocharges related to the inci-

dents, but information on theexact plea was not available.The youth is scheduled to

be sentenced on May 15.RCMP arrested the

17-year-old on Dec. 5 relatedto three swatting incidents inPolk County, Fla.Police said the incidents all

relate to calls made to thePolk County Sheriffs Officereporting a critical incidentin progress. Each precipitateda significant police response,and each proved false.The teen was charged with

one count of extortion, three

counts of public mischiefand one count of breach ofrecognizance.Before being arrested in

relation to the Florida inci-dents, RCMP said the sameyouth pleaded guilty to twocounts of criminal harass-ment in relation to an inci-dent that occurred in NorthVancouver in October 2013and an unrelated incidentthat occurred in Waterloo,Ont. in January 2014. In bothincidents, the youth is said tohave harassed young womenhe met online.

OperationRedNosebacks theYes sideJeremy [email protected]

Operation Red Nose Tri-Cities co-ordinator ChrisWilson said hes supportingthe Yes side in the currenttransit plebiscite, notingthe proposed plan wouldimprove transit, especially inthe evenings.He said the organization,

which gets people home safe-ly after theyve been drinkingduring the Christmas sea-son, is often asked to pickpeople up from DowntownVancouver, but doesnt havethe capacity to do so.Wilson, who is also a

Coquitlam city councillorand the executive directorof KidSport Tri-Cities, saidthe transit plan proposed byMetro Vancouver mayors willgive people who have toomuch to drink options to gethome without getting behindthe wheel.I think it will improve the

safety aspect of our transpor-tation system, because youllbe keeping people off theroads when they shouldntbe driving, he told the Tri-Cities NOW, adding hes frus-trated the debate around the

referendum has revolvedaround the effectiveness ofTransLink. He argued com-pared to other transit author-ities around North America,TransLink actually does agood job.Operation Red Nose uses

a team of volunteers to drivemotorists and their vehicleshome, for a donation.Volunteers work in teams ofthree, with two driving theclient in the clients vehicleand the third followingbehind in another.Last year, Operation Red

Nose provided 1,011 ridesbetween the Tri-Cities,Burnaby and New West, rais-ing $32,940 for KidSport.

Though it would seemhaving more transportationoptions would hurt the char-ity, Wilson said the goal ofOperation Red Nose is to getpeople home safely.On one hand, it may lower

the number of people that useour service. Thats just finewith us we just want tomake sure people get homesafely, he said.The Mayors Council on

Regional TransportationStrategy calls for a $7.5-bil-lion investment over 10 yearsusing a regional 0.5-per-centcongestion improvementtax or PST levy to help payfor the plan.Wilson said he hopes sup-

port by Operation Red Nosewill help the Yes side.And the Yes vote can use

all the support it can get,with recent polls showing theNo vote on top. This week,an Angus Reid poll found astrong lead for the No side, at61 per cent compared to 27per cent for the Yes side.Metro Vancouver resi-

dents will begin get-ting their voting packagesby mail this week, whilevoting for the mail-in plebis-cite will run until May 29.

The biggest part of the BCLiberal governments seem-ingly never-ending overhaulof the provinces liquor lawsis finally in sight, and itsunclear just what kind of impact it isgoing to have on consumers.Im referring, of course, to the actual

price you will be paying to consumebeer, wine or spirits.Changing arcane bureaucratic rules or

putting booze in grocery stores is inter-esting, but the thing everyone reallycares about is how much they have tofork over at the till.On April 1, the government is moving

towards a new wholesale pricing systemfor alcohol, and that puts government-owned stores on equal footing as privatedispensers.The NDP claims this will lead to

widespread price increases, but the gov-ernment insists that only 17 per cent ofall products will see some kind of pricehike, and even then most of the increas-es will be quite low.As well, most of the products desig-

nated for price hikes are high-end itemsthat relatively few people actually buy(how many of you routinely buy $40bottles of wine?).There are more than 33,000 liquor

products listed for sale in B.C., and theprice changes (most due to a fallenCanadian dollar) affect about 5,500 ofthem.The move to wholesale pricing also

reflects a not-so-subtle philosophicalshift by the BC Liberals when it comesto the governments involvement in sell-ing liquor, and its one that will havean impact on consumers in other ways,price hikes or no price hikes.For example, your shopping experi-

ence at a government-owned liquorstore may be about to change for thebetter.

This wasnt always the case.When the BC Liberals first came to

power in 2001, then-Premier GordonCampbell toyed with the idea of sellingall government liquor stores, and cedingthe selling of booze to the private sectorentirely.A number of government stores were

indeed closed, but he was forced toback off the privatization scheme bymembers of his rural caucus and byan aggressive push-back by the B.C.Government and Services EmployeesUnion, whose members staff govern-ment liquor stores.And so for years, most government

stores operated with little re-investmentin their physical upkeep and with min-imal interest in customer relations. Butthe BC Liberals have now come fullcircle, and are letting government storescompete on an equal footing with pri-vate stores.As a result, many government stores

will soon have longer operating hoursand a number will remain open onSundays.And many of them are having

refrigeration units installed.This means that two of the main

advantages of private stores Sundayopenings and cold beer and wine sales will soon disappear, something thatwould have been unheard of in theCampbell era.Campbells would-be privatization

scheme seemed to be an ideologicalone, based on the belief that govern-ment should get out of the retail busi-ness.The evolving nature of the Christy

Clark governments approach to theliquor business is entirely the opposite,and appears based on two principles:customer convenience and governmentprofit.Thats why its becoming easier to

purchase beer and wine, and why themoney generated by the LDB is forecastto grow significantly in the next fewyears.The LDBs service plan for this year

notes that its stores are going to startcompeting with private stores like neverbefore, and as a result it will be moreimportant than ever for B.C. LiquorStores to offer an unparalleled shoppingexperience.The LDB forecasts its contribution to

government coffers will total a whop-ping $2.6 billion over the next threeyears, rising annually by about $15 mil-lion.When the BC Liberals first promised

in their 2013 election platform to mod-ernize B.C.s liquor laws I suspect fewpeople had any idea how far-reachingsuch an exercise would be or how therewould be such a complete philosophicalshift away from the Campbell-led years.In fact, no other area of government

policy not health care, education, for-estry, mining or whatever appears tohave received the kind of attention theliquor industry has gotten this past year.And well know in the next few weeks

whether a key aspect of that industry how much money is actually requiredto buy its products is going to changemuch.

Keith Baldrey is chief politicalreporter for Global BC.

The blame game got started even before the bal-lots entered the mail stream.Metro Vancouver residents will very shortlybe voting on whether or not to accept a 0.5-per-cent increase to the PST to help fund 10 yearsworth of transit projects put forth by the Mayors Council.With polls leaning heavily towards the No side, the Yes

side is pounding the pavement, promising to have JimPattison watch over the funds, and generally launchingevery glad-handing politician at every SkyTrain lineup,hoping to move the vote.When the plebiscite was first discussed, the provincial

government tended to catch the heat. After all, if the prov-ince had been managing things properly, why would iteven come to this?And then the Mayors Council looked like the ones to

blame. After all, how had they let things get stalled likethis? Why couldnt the mayors agree on anything?And then theres TransLink whatever that really is.

The average Joe rightfully looks at the golden deals of big-wigs at the organization, the fitness facilities for staff, andthe broken plans for well, a lot of things and thinkssomeone in that mess has to be to blamed.And now, yes, now the over-55 set are getting blamed.

Everyone with a car and a carport and some grey in theirhair is already getting blamed for voting No and scuttlinga future filled with shiny new buses, better bridges and aSkyTrain system that actually runs.The baby boomers are apparently, when polled, leaning

towards No because they dont use or need transit, theyhate paying more taxes, and spend a lot of time in Arizonaor in their La-Z-Boy recliners.While some of that is undoubtedly partially true, what

we do know for sure is that no one under 50 or over 50who is not an elected politician or a TransLink executive orboard member is to blame for an unsuccessful outcome.On the other hand, were not sure that a No vote would

necessarily be an unsuccessful outcome.

HERESWHY IMVOTINGNO INTHE TRANSITREFERENDUMAm I confident that TransLink

will be more responsible with the0.5-per-cent tax than they havebeen to date, if the referendumpasses?And do I have faith that the

0.5-per-cent tax wont increaseto one per cent, two per cent oreven more if they discover that0.5-per-cent isnt enough?Definitely not!The amount of waste that

TransLink is responsible for isatrocious. For example, havingsix boards of directors, payingtwo CEOs exorbitant salaries, amillion here, half a million there,and on and on.TransLink is a bottomless pit

that is already raking in our taxdollars from gasoline, parking,property taxes and hydro levies.Incidentally, the estimates for

the two most expensive partsof the project (for Surrey LRTand the Vancouver Broadwaysubway) were done several yearsago.One engineer said it might

go up or down 15 per cent buthe didnt think it would double

or triple. How reassuring! Howmany things go down in price?Nothing that I know of.If you have a hole in a bucket,

the common-sense approach is torepair it before you add any morewater.Before we are asked to give any

more money to a badly brokensystem such as TransLink, thereneeds to be a major reduction ofwaste and some definite account-ability in place.An increase of 0.5 per cent

might be a drop in the bucketfor the mayors, many of whomearn six-figure salaries, but its adifferent matter for low-incomefamilies and seniors.If the Yes vote wins, my con-

cern is that they will say that 0.5per cent isnt enough because ofunforeseen expenses/increasedprices since previous estimateswere done, and this tax will keepescalating on a regular basis forthe rest of our lives.I will be voting No until they

stop wasting our money and giveus more information about pos-sible future increases in this tax.They need to stop taking from thepoor to give to the rich.

HERESWHY IMVOTING YESThe Urban Development

Institute (UDI) is a proud part-ner in the Better Transit andTransportation Coalition, a grass-roots group of business, labour,environmental and communityorganizations who have joinedtogether to support the MetroVancouver transportation visionproposed by the Mayors Council.This is the broadest-based

coalition that B.C. has ever seen every member is committed tosolving our massive traffic con-gestion by improving transit andtransportation options throughan affordable and fair fundingapproach. The Mayors Council,through collaboration, has comeup with an effective and afford-able solution to addressing trafficjams, transit demands and airpollution. The plan will resultin enormous improvements forthe region, including light railtransit in Surrey and Langley,Broadway Corridor rapid transit,the Pattullo Bridge replacement,11 new B-Line routes, and 2,700km of bikeways and enhancedpedestrian connections.For the Tri-Cities communities,

the plan will deliver a 27-per-cent increase in West Coast

Express service, new B-Line busservices connecting Coquitlam toMaple Ridge and Langley to PittMeadows and Coquitlam, morereliable and more frequent localbus service, and millions of dol-lars to upgrade roads and relievecongestion.A Yes vote is for making a posi-

tive change, protecting our qual-ity of life, and executing a plan toaddress one million new residentsmoving to the region by 2041. ANo vote is to stall progress, risk-ing our quality of life and havingno plan for the future to addresscongestion and billions of dollarsin costs to our economy. UDI iscommitted to seeing a prosperousLower Mainland one that takessteps to reduce gridlock, and pro-mote jobs, connections and theefficient movement of goods. Weare on the right track to achiev-ing these goals, but we need yourhelp. Between March and May,we urge residents of the Tri-Citiesto vote Yes in the upcomingMetro Vancouver Transit andTransportation Referendum tosupport the Mayors Plan. A suc-cessful outcome will improve ourtransit and transportation systemand enhance our economy, healthand quality of life.

IMPORTANT CHANGES TOINSPECTION SCHEDULING

Jeremy [email protected] Moody residents will soon have their

say on a proposed development that willchange the face of the local legion for yearsto come.Next week, a public hearing will be held

on a proposal to redevelop the legion, at2513-2519 Clarke St. If approved, the planwould allow for a five-storey,mixed-use development fea-turing 14 commercial-retailunits, 84 residential units andan 8,912-square-foot legionwith a 76-seat patio.The plan also includes the

creation of a Memorial Plazaon Spring Street that wouldfeature public seating areasand the cenotaph where futureRemembrance Day and otherceremonies will be held.The legions executive said

the current building is in needof repair, and suggested with beautificationalready taking place in the neighbourhood, anew legion is whats needed in the area.The original building was built in 1953.Wendy Swalwell, the chair of the legions

property development committee, noted thenew legion will be rebranded to bring inyounger members.Were also really proud of the fact that this

is not just going to be Grandpas legion any-more, she recently told council, noting kidswill be allowed into the establishment.We need to have new blood.

Last year, the branch announced it hadsigned on with property developer TownlineHousing Solutions for the multi-million-dollarproject. Under the agreement, the legion soldits land to Townline for $4.3 million, with aportion of the money going toward the con-struction of a new building.Members of the legion voted last fall, 88 to

1, in favour of the redevelopment.While council still has to

vote on the rezoning proposal,some of the local politiciansweighed in on the plan at arecent meeting.Coun. Rick Glumac

expressed concern about a lackof seniors housing in the pro-posal and the location of thecenotaph on Spring Street.I wished we could have

done a seniors home heresomehow, he said. If we cantdo it here, I dont know wherewe can do it.

Coun. Zoe Royer suggested the develop-ment could revitalize Moody Centre butadded having the cenotaph in the back alleyis disheartening.Mayor Mike Clay said he likes the pro-

posal and believes the development will bringpeople into the area.I think it will bring up the neighbourhood

a lot, he said.Legion president Faye Johnson said the

Spring Street cenotaph will be more access-ible to people walking by and will provideplenty of room for holding ceremonies.

Jennifer Woodside has alreadybeen through the worst day of herlife. It was April 4, 2014, when her21-year-old son Dylan went to sleepand never woke up.Nothing can be

worse than that dayI went through,Woodside said.Dylan, a young

art student, haddeveloped a tastefor ketamine, a drugsomewhat popularon the club scene. Hewas on and off it forabout eight monthsand managed to getthrough detox, but asWoodside tells it, hedid it one more time. This time, hetook oxycodone lacedwith fentanyl,an additive responsible for the rashof overdoses in Vancouvers heroin-using community last October.Dylan went to sleep at his fath-

ers house on the North Shore, andnever woke up. His girlfriend found

him, called 911 and tried to resusci-tate him, but it was too late.When Woodside heard the news,

she couldnt believe it.It was like a big whoosh when

somebody hits you in the stomach,she said. Losing a child is a hor-rible experience for any parent, but

losing a child thisway is really devas-tating because youblame yourself. Whycouldnt I save him?Why did he do it onemore time?Along with the

grief, Woodside felta sense of shame andstigma surroundingdrug use. For thelongest time, she toldpeople Dylans deathwas an accident.

Its not a normal death. It tookme a while to be able to tell people,she said. Theres a term for this. Itscalled disenfranchised grief itsa grief thats not acknowledged bysociety. Some people cant see pastit. They think that person wasntgood, that its not a good lifestyle,

or the parents not a good personbecause they allowed this to hap-pen. So theres a lot of guilt.Woodside scoured the Internet

for some kind of support for drug-related deaths, but she couldnt findanything local. Thats when shedecided to take matters into herown hands. The retired Port Moodyresident started a new chapter ofGRASP Grief Recovery After aSubstance Passing a supportgroup for people whove lost some-one to drugs or alcohol.Based on statistics from the

Centre for Addictions Researchof B.C., Woodside is not alone.In 2012, illicit drug use caused319 deaths in B.C., while alcoholcaused 1,255. Those numbers haveremained fairly stable over the pastdecade.Woodside hosted her first meet-

ing on Thursday, Feb. 12, and plansto hold regular meetings the secondThursday of every month.While there are GRASP chapters

across the U.S., Woodside believesher Burnaby group is the first inCanada. Shes the groups facilita-tor, and hopes other parents will

be able to share stories of their chil-dren and know that its OK to feelguilt and anger.

She asks that people pre-registerfor the group by e-mailing [email protected].

Spinal Decompression Allows Back Painto Heal...Without Drugs or SurgeryDecompression relieves pressure that builds up on thediscs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes aboutas a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated discback into place. Decompression achieves this by creating

negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negativeintradiscal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuumto draw the bulging and herniated disc material backinto the disc space and relieves pressure.

The challenge: Each teamwas given 45minutes to create a two-course meal consisting of one entree and theirchoice of starter or dessert, using the contents of a SHARE Food Bank Hamper. They were permitted to purchase$10 worth of items of their choice at PriceSmart Foods to supplement their culinary creations. As well, they hadaccess to a shared pantry that contained every day spices, oil, flour and other kitchen cooking staples.None of the guests in attendance could have imagined the resulting creations, which gave the judges, ChristinaSepidoza-Walter (Wilbur & Sabastians smokehouse & bistro), Fred Soofi (Pasta Polo) and Guy Flinto (ChiefExperience Officer, Mr. Mikes SteakhouseCasual), their own challenge in choosing the winner of our 1stannualIMAGINE Hamper Challenge.SHARE would like to thank Tea
