Riverview could be a sanctum for mentalhealth and wellness, social housing and more, BCHousing told Coquitlam council Monday — butcouncillors were skeptical.

The province has charged BC Housing withcreating a vision for the future of the Riverviewlands through a series of meetings with stake-holders, city councils and health authorities.

Shayne Ramsay, CEO of BC Housing, gave apresentation to council Monday afternoon.

“I think the most important [thing] is, I wantto assure council Riverview is not a part ofthe province’s surplus assets disposal program,”Ramsay said.

Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Selina Robinsonand city council have pointed to the lack ofgrounds keeping on the Riverview site, callingit “demolition by neglect,” and said they areworried the province is doing this intentionallybecause it’s planning on selling the lands off.

However, Ramsay said that is not the case andthe Riverview grounds will be kept intact.CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

One Coquitlam residentthinks conservation officersare too quick on the triggerwhen it comes to dealingwith bears in the Tri-Cities,but conservation officers sayit’s just business as usual.

Dennis K., a resident whodidn’t want his last nameused, livesatPacificStreetandGuildford Way in Coquitlam,next to Hoy Creek. For thepast week he says he’s heardgunshots around 1 a.m. ona couple of days from con-servation and RCMP officerstaking shots at bears in hisneighbourhood.

“It’s disturbing,” he said. “Ilove animals. I think if you’rejust shooting these things— if someone just phones inabout a bear, it seems likethey’re just going to go outand shoot it.”

Conservation officer Sgt.

Steve Jacoby said there havebeen a few incidents withbears in recent weeks, but nomore than usual for this timeof year, andstaff are stillfollowing thesame guide-lines and poli-cies they havefor years.

“Sometimeswhat peoplecan hear andget confusedabout is theuse of crackershells,” Jacobysaid. “They’re used to scarethe bear away. They soundlike a gunshot, but it’s not abullet.”

He also said there havebeen no bears destroyed inHoy Creek in September orOctober, which means it wasmost likely a cracker shell theresident heard.

When it comes to bearactivity, a bear will only bedestroyed if it becomes a“public safety issue,” he said.

Coquit lamB e a r A w a r ec o o r d i n -ator DrakeStephens saidhe hasn’t seenan increase inbear shootingslately.

“I knowone was takenaway fromC o q u i t l a mRiver on the

weekend,” he said. “It did fol-low a jogger and it was inter-preted as being aggressive.”

Every year towards theend of September there’san increase in bear activity,Stephens noted.

“They’re trying to put onextra weight. It’s almost thethird week of September

every year when you reallynotice a surge in bears seek-ing food.”

Stephens and Jacoby urgeresidents to secure their gar-

bage, pick fruit off the groundif they have trees and makesure there’s no leftover foodfrom bird feeders, dog foodor barbecues left unsecured

outside.“At this time of year bears

will be feeding as much as14 to 15 hours a day,” Jacobysaid.

“There will be the same amount of openspace as there is now,” he said. “Developmentwill happen within the existing footprint.”

Coun. Terry O’Neill praised the commit-ment of the province to maintain the currentlandscape, stating that was a major concernfor him.

“That’s something we should be celebratingtoday,” O’Neill said.

However, he questioned acore concept of the plan, whichis that whatever is developedmust break even when it comesto costs and revenues.

“For example, if social hous-ing is put on it, is there goingto have to be something onthe site that pays for the socialhousing?” O’Neill asked.

Ramsay said capital costs,not ongoing operational costs,must break even, no matterwhat is developed.

O’Neill asked for specificexamples, but Ramsay said it’s too early in theprocess to give any.

Coun. Mae Reid also expressed concernover the “break-even context,” stating themodel doesn’t apply to mental-health build-ings.

“Those aren’t break-even buildings,” shesaid, “but those are buildings we’re going toneed for the next 100 years.”

She was also worried about the currentstate of the lands, calling it “offensive” and

saying something needs to be done soonerrather than later.

“We’re going to sit here for another fewyears and the buildings are going to rot more,and the trees are going to fall down,” shesaid.

Coun. Brent Asmundson said it’s great theprovince is talking about this, but there’s alack of trust from the public when it comes toRiverview.

“To me, forgetting whatever governmentwas in power, we have notmaintained and kept Riverviewor the buildings there or thegrounds at the highest stan-dard,” Asmundson said. “Putthe money and investmentback in showing you care. If itstays the way it is, it shows youdon’t care about the site, youonly care about the land valuethat’s there.”

Mayor Richard Stewart saidplanning needs to be done inconsultation with every stake-holder, because Riverview ismore than just a plot of land.

“Riverview lands are extremely preciousto Coquitlam, to our residents, to so manygroups in Coquitlam,” he said. “We will col-laborate, but we want you, as well as theprovince, to understand how precious, howimportant, this is to us.”

BC Housing could not give a time framefor how long the pre-planning process willtake, but said it will be meeting with all thoseaffected, beginning this week in Coquitlam.

BCHousing pushes‘break even’ plan

WorldMentalHealthDay a time to reflectJeremy [email protected]

Tomorrow (Thursday)marks World Mental HealthDay — an unfortunate ironynot lost on Carol Todd.

That’s because Oct. 10 alsomarks a year since her daugh-ter Amanda committed sui-cide, thrusting her daughter’sstory and the issues of bully-ing and mental health intothe spotlight.

These days, talking aboutand promoting World MentalHealth Day is what keepsCarol busy and focused.

“It’s given me somethingto work on,” she told the Tri-Cities NOW, adding the eventis a distraction from focusingon Amanda’s death.

The PoCo teen commit-ted suicide on Oct. 10, 2012,a month after posting aYouTube video depicting howshe was relentlessly bulliedafter naked photos of herwere posted online.

For the last few months,in preparation for Oct. 10,Carol has been liaising with

groups around the country toraise awareness for the spe-cial day.

And her efforts have paidoff, as the Amanda ToddLegacy Society and the WorldMental Health Organizationhave teamed up for an initia-tive called “Lighting up theWorld in Purple.”

The idea is to have build-ings and businesses lit up topromote mental health.

And some pretty impressiveattractions have decided totake part, including NiagaraFalls and the CN Tower inToronto, and BC PlaceStadium and the OlympicCauldron in Vancouver.

Locally, Lafarge Lake inCoquitlam will be lit purple,while the Brovold Room atPort Moody City Hall will alsobe lit in the colour. Severallocal businesses are also tak-ing part in the event.

While the day is in part atribute to Amanda, her moth-er is quick to downplay thataspect.

“That makes me happy we

can spread wellness,” Carolsaid.

But the date does presentan opportunity for the PoComom to reflect on the lastyear.

In the months sinceAmanda’s death, Carol saidshe’s gotten stronger andmore informed about theissues that ultimately led toher daughter’s suicide.

She also believes there hasbeen a positive shift in think-ing both in society and gov-ernment when it comes tobullying and mental health.

However, Carol suggestedit will take time before thechange is realized in people’slives.

“It’s the kids and the par-ents that need to make thatshift in how they’re interact-ing and what they’re doing,”she said.

It may be the end of the summer rescue sea-son for Coquitlam Search and Rescue, but thatdoesn’t mean the team has nothing to do.

The volunteer society is keeping busy witha pair of initiatives that will strengthen theteam for years to come.

The team recently held a recruitment openhouse, where it received 100 applicationsfrom people interested in joining.

From there, another 40 were invited outfor what Coquitlam SAR called a “recruitmenthike” this past Sunday.

Coquitlam SAR search manager MichaelCoyle said the hike was an opportunity to geta better sense of the recruits.

So far, he suggested the team has received agood crop of applicants.

Coyle said the team is looking for six to 12new members, or as many as 15 if it can getqualified applicants.

He said the team will probably take on 15new recruits.

“We feel the ones that have applied arepretty good,” Coyle told the Tri-Cities NOW.

“It’s very important to get the right kind ofperson who understands risk and risk assess-ment.”

Coyle said the team will be moving aheadwith the interview portion of the recruitment,and will likely be making its selection in thenext couple of weeks.

The last time Coquitlam SAR held a recruit-ment drive four years ago, the team received150 applications.

At that time, the organization picked 17new members, but the number is now downto 11.

Besides new members, Coquitlam SAR isalso looking for a new set of wheels.

The society has started fundraising efforts

to raise money for a new command vehicle.Coyle explained the current vehicle was

commissioned in 1995, but over the yearswith changes in technology, the vehicle hasbecome cramped for space and is at its weightcapacity.

He noted the team recently received adonation of five laptops, but can’t store themin the command vehicle because of weightrestrictions.

The team considered refurbishing thevehicle, but Coyle said it would cost about thesame to get a new one.

“It’s at the point where I do think we need anew one,” he said.

A new truck is expected to cost about$300,000.

Coyle said the team got the idea to replacethe truck after a search last summer in whichCoquitlam SAR had use of the Port MoodyPolice Department’s air-conditioned com-mand truck.

Coyle noted that vehicle was a place whererescuers could cool off from the heat duringa search.

He said that experience gave the team ataste of what a new platform could look like.

But the society knows it won’t be easy toraise the kind of cash needed.

To get the campaign underway, the team ishoping to raise some of that money throughthe Aviva Community Fund.

The fund, sponsored by Aviva Insurance,involves a competition for funding commun-ity projects and ideas across the country.

The team also intends to apply for provin-cial gaming grants of up to $100,000.

Coyle said the team could fundraise for acoupe of years before getting enough moneyto buy the new truck.

FraserHealth gets aTri-Cities fundingboostSam [email protected]

Seniors’ care and mentalhealth facilities in the Tri-Cities are receiving more than$30 million for new buildingsand expanded services.

Coquitlam’s Société duFoyer Maillard, a bilingualseniors’ care facility at 1010Alderson Ave., will begin con-struction on a new buildingin 2014 and expand its num-ber of beds to 125 from 45.

In PoCo, Baltic Properties isbuilding a new building with

136 residential complex carebeds and 24 mental healthand substance use beds.

“This initiative is intendedto increase capacity and playan important role in reducingcongestion within FraserHealth’s acute care sites,”said Keith McBain, executivedirector for residential careand assisted living at FraserHealth, in a press release.

Jean Riou, chair of FoyerMaillard, said the currentbuilding was made in 1969and hasn’t been upgradedwith the times. Now, the soci-

ety has that chance.“I’m ecstatic because for us

this is what we were lookingfor,” he said. “We are veryhappy to be able to build anew one, a very good modernbuilding. It will be good forthe residents, it will be goodfor the staff. It’s a win-winsituation.”

Although construction willrequire residents to tempor-arily relocate, Riou says staffhave six months to get thingsin order and preparationshave already begun.

“We have people who are

going to be housed in otherlocations,” he said. “Thereshould be enough space with-in Coquitlam and maybe PortCoquitlam to house thosepeople. Then the 45 residentsin complex care, they’re goingto be taken care of by FraserHealth.”

According to Fraser Health,the population in the Tri-Cities will rise by 20 per centby 2020, with a good chunkof that made up of seniors 75and older.

Not only will the popu-lation increase put more

demand on seniors’ facilities,but the average lifespan inFoyer Maillard is steadily ris-ing, Riou said.

“The average age of a resi-dent is 87,” he said. “We have

a few people over 100. Somein good health, some in notso good. So we need somehelp for them. It was a build-ing OK for 1969, but not any-more.”

Suite 205-1120 Westwood Street Coquitlam(at corner of Westwood Street and Lincoln Avenue)

The sensitive and sometimesmurky world of so-called“ethnic politics” continues toengulf both of B.C.’s majorpolitical parties. It’s been

that way for more than a couple ofyears now, ever since both parties foundthemselves plunged into leadershipraces that involved mass membershipsign-ups in ethnic communities.

The NDP, about to search for anotherleader, may be headed into anothercontroversy involving those same masssign-ups. The B.C. Liberal government,meanwhile, finds itself dogged by a con-troversy involving ethnic communities itthought had disappeared once and forall. The so-called “ethnic memo” contro-versy was big news before the May elec-tion. This involved government politicalstaff doing party work (making contactsin ethnic communities, compiling infor-mation such as membership lists, etc.)while on the taxpayer dime.

Now the RCMP is investigating thematter after NDP leader Adrian Dixwent to the police with information thathe says may indicate some aspects of theElection Act had been violated throughthese activities.

Now, as someone who was part of agiant media group-think that saw theethnic memo scandal as being a muchbigger deal than the voters ultimatelyconsidered it to be at election time, I’mreluctant to predict the RCMP investiga-tion will lead to anything substantial.

In fact, anything short of implicatingan elected official (as opposed to now-departed political staffers) in illegalactivities is unlikely to inflict much pol-itical damage on the B.C. Liberals. Still,no government likes to have the RCMPrummaging around its dirty laundry.

Nevertheless, the whole thing is yetanother reminder of just how beholdenour two parties are to the interests of

ethnic communities, and how courtingtheir votes has become of paramountimportance to them.

In the last election campaign, forexample, the B.C. Liberals strove to havea major presence in Chinese-Canadianmedia through heavy advertising. Thatstrategy appeared to pay off, as theparty held at least two seats (BurnabyNorth and Vancouver-Fraserview) witha heavy Chinese-Canadian population itmight otherwise have lost.

But while the B.C. Liberals watch thatRCMP investigation with some nervous-ness (which is unlikely to disappear any-time soon, as these types of probes tendto be lengthy ones) the NDP is about torevisit the sensitivities wrapped aroundthat party’s relationship with ethniccommunities.

The reform-minded Forward B.C.NDP faction wants to limit membershipsign-ups for the leadership race to 10people a week per person, according tothe Georgia Straight newspaper.

This would prevent what happenedin the last leadership races for both par-ties. At that time, candidates or theirrepresentatives went into places likeSurrey, Delta and south Vancouver andengaged in mass signups in places likereligious temples and churches.

The result is that it can be arguedthat a relatively small geographic regiondictated the outcome of both races,and that both Adrian Dix and Christy

Clark owed their leadership victories tothis practice. Candidates from outsidethe Lower Mainland — notably JohnHorgan of the NDP and George Abbottof the B.C. Liberals — were penalized bythe mass sign-ups and were effectivelyfrozen out of the selection process.

There will be a predictable push-backfrom various ethnic communities toForward B.C. NDP’s proposal. They willargue, with some justification, that themembers of their communities shouldnot be limited in their potential partici-pation in a democratic process.

Both sides in this debate have meri-torious arguments. Nevertheless, it maybe time for political parties to abandonthe idea of giving every party membera vote in a leadership race and return tothe days of convention delegates deter-mining the winner of that race.

While membership signups can injectsome interest (and money) into a partyleadership race, so too can a leadershipconvention, which carries with it severaldays of high drama (potentially) andoften an exciting outcome.

A delegated convention would alsoensure no particular region or com-munity (ethnic or otherwise) has powerdisproportionate to their size when itcomes to determining who the majorpolitical leaders are in this province.

Unfortunately, I don’t see much evi-dence that either the NDP or the B.C.Liberals want to go back to the daysof electing delegates to a leadershipconvention. This means the NDP facesan interesting dilemma: put the brakeson mass membership sign-ups, or allowa relatively small geographic region toplay a dominant role in choosing theparty’s next leader.

Ethnic politics is never far away frompolitical parties these days, and both theB.C. Liberals and the NDP are about tobe reminded of that.

You could call it a good start. This week, theprovince announced BC Housing will start craft-ing future plans for the Riverview lands.

The plan is for the housing authority to meetwith a number of stakeholders to get feedback

on what people want.BC Housing officials dropped by Coquitlam city council

this week to give local politicians a heads up.As the process gets underway, likely everything under

the sun is going to be recommended or suggested for thelands. And that’s not a bad thing.

No doubt, there will be a push to have the lands andsome of the buildings used for mental health and wellness.

Some politicians have suggested a portion of the landsshould be opened up to the public in the form of a park.

There will likely even be a suggestion the lands bedeveloped for market housing and some form of privateinterest.

While some ideas are better than others — and will cer-tainly be more popular than others — at this early stage inthe process, nothing should be taken off the table.

With the future of such an important piece of property tothe Tri-Cities, historically and geographically speaking, yetto be decided, it’s important to keep an open mind aboutall the possible ways in which the lands could be used.

The more ideas that are discussed, dissected and debat-ed — even if most people agree they’re bad ones — thebetter off the lands and the community will be. A fulsomediscussion would also likely mean less people feeling leftout of the process when a final plan is put in place.

VIEW FROM THE LEDGEKeith Baldrey

‘Ethnic politics’ loom largeTHIS CLOSUREWAS ‘NUTS’Did you know that B.C. has its own controversy over “val-

ues?” In Quebec the PQ government intends to discrimin-ate against religious minorities — in particular Muslims. InB.C. the Liberal government of Premier Christy Clark, andPremier Gordon Campbell before her, along with previousgovernments, has consistently discriminated against thementally ill, or at best “tolerated” them, even when theywere bused into this province free, thanks to Premier RalphKlein of Alberta. Now, the Lower Mainland has a full-blownmental-health crisis on its hands. If the mentally ill wereagain being served by Riverview Hospital, then quite likelythe violence on the city streets of Vancouver would not beincreasing. And maybe, since the start of the year, St. Paul’sHospital, in the heart of Vancouver, would not be seeingnearly a 50-per-cent-increase in the number of individualswith either severe mental-health illnesses or addictionproblems.

Completely downsizing Riverview Hospital and thenclosing it was a mistake, born of arrogance and misguidedjudgment — skewed by Hollywood’s “cuckoo’s nest” men-tality and by Ronald Reagan’s neo-conservatism. ChristyClark’s veto of the UBCM proposal to reopen Riverview wassimply a brazen exercise in political power, with smiles,fresh off her enhanced mandate. Given the nature of herparty line, she also is probably still inclined to see mentalillness entirely as an “individual” problem that has nothingat all to do with “society.” This is why “society” is obligedto owe the mentally ill nothing, neither a hospital northe dignity of employment. When governments eliminatehospitals they do not eliminate illnesses. Downsizing issupposed to be “cost-effective,” but it is also a denial ofstate responsibility. The severely mentally ill often haveany number of concurrent disorders beyond the skills ofCommunity Living workers. Having the resources of acentralized and specialized hospital offers peace of mindto those who have little or no peace of mind, and it boilsdown to a matter of fairness to the underrepresented,which is a good for society. In other words, it’s nuts not tohave Riverview Hospital, but then again we already knowprovincial political leaders to be cuckoo.

WILL LNGDEVELOPMENTBLOWB.C.’SCARBONBUDGET?

The recent report fromthe Intergovernmental Panelon Climate Change (IPCC)reaffirmed the scientific consen-sus that global warming is hap-pening and is primarily caused byhuman use of fossil fuels (coal, oiland natural gas) for our energyneeds. For the first time, however,the IPCC stated an upper limit ontotal greenhouse gas emissions— a global “carbon budget” tokeep temperature increase below2°C, the aspirational target forinternational negotiations, andconsidered the threshold for“dangerous” climate change.

The scientists of the IPCC reck-on that we have already burnedthrough more than half of ourtotal carbon budget going back tothe mid-19th century. Humanity’sremaining carbon budget is about921 billion tonnes (gigatonnesor Gt) of carbon dioxide (CO2).That’s about 30 years of fossil fuelemissions worldwide. It wouldprovide a 66-per-cent chance atstaying below 2°C; if we lower

the odds to a coin toss (50 percent), we can emit up to 1,068 Gtof CO2.

What does this mean forB.C.? A carbon budget wouldbe a wake-up call for a provincedreaming of fossil fuel riches,including development of aLiquefied Natural Gas (LNG)export industry. Political com-mitments on climate action, tothe extent they exist, are usuallypitched in terms of targets andtime lines. B.C., for example, hasa legislated target of 33 per centbelow 2007 levels by 2020.

B.C.’s fair share of this globalcarbon budget would be deter-mined by international negotia-tions. If the budget was allocatedequally — based on share of theworld’s population— B.C.’s car-bon budget would be 0.6 Gt (forthe 66-per-cent chance above).This amounts to a mere decade ofemissions at current levels.

B.C. would have more room towork with if we were allocateda carbon budget in line with ourshare of GDP. This would meana more comfortable 2.8 Gt, some45 years of emissions at currentlevels. But such a budget is hardto square with the massive emis-sions profile of LNG.

The higher number is wishfulthinking, anyway. International

negotiations have centred on“historical emissions” — richcountries have burned fossil fuelsfor more than a century with nothought to climate change, sothey should be required to makedisproportionate emission reduc-tions.

Even assuming B.C. secures acarbon budget at the high end,we still have a big problem: B.C.’sreserves of coal and natural gasare way larger than any plaus-ible carbon budget. Natural gasreserves are equivalent to 55 Gt ifcombusted into CO2. B.C.’s coalreserves represent another 40 Gtif combusted. Together, that fuel,safely sequestered below ground,is almost three years worth ofworldwide emissions.

This implies that the vastmajority of those reserves needto stay in the ground. Plans foran LNG export industry need tobe seriously rethought in light ofcarbon budgeting. While mostof the emissions from B.C.’s fos-sil fuels are exported — othercountries combust the fuel, andwould count the emissions as partof their carbon inventory — B.C.still has to count the emissionsfrom extracting and processingfossil fuels. These domestic emis-sions could come down if B.C. gotserious about making the “clean-

est LNG in the world.”But in a carbon-constrained

world, other countries will alsohave to live within their owncarbon budgets. They too willhave to cut back on fossil fuels infavour of renewables.

Ongoing extreme weather, oilspills and train wrecks suggestit is only a matter of time beforethe world gets serious aboutcarbon budgets. B.C.’s LNG plansdouble down on the old fossilfuel economy, and could come torepresent tens of billions of dol-lars in stranded assets. A carbonbudget tells us B.C. must investheavily in precisely the opposite:green infrastructure, such aspublic transit, high-speed rail andzero-waste facilities. Funded byan expanded carbon tax, climateaction is also a superior jobspolicy to LNG. The challengeof every jurisdiction is to figureout how to live within a carbonbudget, while providing the“good life” for all. Future genera-tions will wonder why it took usso long to get started.

ANNUALGENERALMEETING

You are cordially invited to:


A pair of suspected Tri-Cities crooks couldn’t escape

the long arm of the CoquitlamMounties.

Last month, two peoplewere arrested in the middle

of an alleged break-in inAbbotsford.

However, the suspectsdidn’t know they were targetsof a joint operation betweenthe Coquitlam RCMP ProlificTarget Team (PTT) andRidge Meadows RCMP StreetEnforcement Unit.

Fraser Vickers, 27, ofBurnaby is facing severalcharges including break andenter, possession of stolenproperty, and possession of abreak-in instrument.

Jessica Kimber, 28, of PortCoquitlam is facing chargesof break and enter and pos-session of stolen property.

“Criminals know no bor-ders and slip in and out ofmunicipalities,” said RCMPInsp. Paulette Freill in a state-ment.

“This is an excellentexample showcasing howinvestigators from differentdetachments and municipal-ities work together on a pro-ject much like an integratedor regional team. This type ofcollaboration is an effectiveway to reduce crime in theregion and is very beneficialto the local communities.”

Mounties are also remind-ing residents break-ins com-monly occur when no oneis at home, or someone is atwork.

“Securing your doors andwindows, trimming yourbushes near your house socriminals have nowhere tohide, and making sure news-papers and mail don’t getpiled up at your front doorare just some of the thingsyou can do to prevent it fromhappening,” said RCMP Cpl.Jamie Chung.

City files a response to softball lawsuitJeremy [email protected]

Defendants in a lawsuit over an allegedinjury on a Coquitlam ball diamond last yearhave struck back.

In a joint response to a civil claim, the Cityof Coquitlam, the New Westminster MinorSoftball Association, the Coquitlam MinorSoftball Association and the B.C. AmateurSoftball Association have all denied the alleg-ations in a suit filed by Kristen Evanski.

According to the initial civil claim filed byEvanski on July 30, the incident happenedon June 3, 2012, at Mundy Park in Coquitlamwhen she was a player and coach for a NewWest team called the Magic.

During the game, the suit claims, whilestanding in the dugout, a batter for the oppos-ing team hit a line drive that passed theunprotected opening of the dugout on thehome-plate side, hitting Evanski on the leftside of the head.

Court documents filed on Sept. 26 statethat the defendants deny Evanski suffered orcontinues to suffer injury or loss as alleged.

All four organizations also claim that atall times the softball field at Mundy Park,— including the dugout — was maintained ina condition that was reasonably safe for use

by Evanski.The response further suggested that the

plaintiff willingly assumed the risk of injuryon her own.

The suit claims Evanski sustained seriousinjuries as a result of being hit by the ball.

The lawsuit argues that all of the defend-ants had a duty of care “to ensure the softballfield at Mundy Park was a safe venue at whichto play league softball games.”

The suit also alleges the city and asso-

ciations breached their duty of care in severalways, including by designing the dugout withtwo wide unprotected openings that permit-ted errant softballs to enter the dugout, byfailing to install a gate or guard or protectivedevice at the openings of the dugout and byfailing to warn participants that softballs bat-ted from home plate could enter the dugoutand travel lengthwise.

None of the allegations have been proven incourt and none of the other parties have fileda response.

The response by the defendants goes on tostate the plaintiff was well aware of the riskthat a ball could leave the playing field at a

high rate of speed.According to court documents, the city and

softball associations suggest the ball playerwas negligent for several reasons, includ-ing by failing to exercise reasonable care forher safety, failing to maintain proper lookoutand failing to sit in the protected area of thedugout.

In the civil claim, Evanski is described asbeing a Burnaby resident who graduated fromBurnaby Mountain Secondary in 2005.

The original claim states she suffered ser-ious injuries that include concussion, dizzi-ness, blurred vision, depression and a splitmuscle near her left eyebrow, among others.

The boil water advisory inthe Village of Anmore is mov-ing into its fourth week withno end in sight.

On Thursday, officials withthe village issued a releasereminding residents the boilwater advisory is still in effect.

Despite efforts to flush thewater lines in recent weeks,the village said it would taketime to fully clean the sys-tem.

The release said the villagecould not commit to when theadvisory will be lifted, addingit could still be in place for afew more weeks.

The statement went on to

suggest the water samplingshave “shown great improve-ment,” but theresults of themost recentwater testswere not pro-vided.

The villageissued the boilwater advis-ory on Sept.10 after ele-vated levels ofcoliform weredetected insamples. Though no E. colibacteria were found in thewater system, the advisory

was issued as a precaution.On Sept. 26, a medical

health offi-cer for FraserHealth told theTri-Cities NOWthere were noreported casesof human ill-ness linked tothe water sup-ply.

F r a s e rHealth alsoc o n f i r m e dsome of the

early coliform counts were inthe range of 400 to 500 partsper 100 millilitres of tested

water.The acceptable number in

B.C. is no more than 10 totalcoliforms per sample.

Three negative tests forcoliform are needed beforethe advisory can be lifted.

The advisory has sparkedconcern from Anmore resi-dents, with many suggestingthe village didn’t do enoughto avoid the problem in thefirst place and didn’t respondquickly enough.

However, Mayor HeatherAnderson has defended thevillage’s response.

“I want Anmore residentsto know council and staff

acknowledge those concernsraised and we’re taking theseconcerns seriously,” she saidin a statement. “I am confi-dent Anmore village staff aretaking appropriate measuresto address this situation.”

The advisory came justa couple of months beforeAnmore is set to open a newchlorine booster station.The municipality has spent$400,000 for the station,located at Dogwood andHummingbird drives.

In the meantime, a tempor-ary chlorine booster stationhas been installed to helpclean the water lines.

• In B.C., school-aged chil-dren are offered immuniza-tions in grades 6 and 9. Theseimmunizations are offered atschool during clinics adminis-tered by public health nurses.Most regions of the provincegive school entry boosterdoses to children outside ofschool settings where theycan be accompanied by theirparent or guardian.

• The following vaccinesare routinely offered to allstudents in Grade 6: hepa-titis B vaccine (childrenwho have had three dosesof hepatitis B vaccine whenthey were infants or beforeentering Grade 6 do not needthe vaccine), meningococcalC vaccine (children who havehad a meningococcal C con-taining vaccine at 10 yearsof age or older do not needthe vaccine), chickenpox vac-cine (children who have hadtwo doses of chickenpox vac-cine or chickenpox diseaseor shingles after one year ofage do not need the vaccine),human papillomavirus (HPV)vaccine (offered to femalestudents only, with two dosesgiven in Grade 6 and a thirddose in Grade 9)

What can I do for my dog to help withhis/her anxiety this Halloween?Your dog’s hearing is 10 times more sensitive than a human’s, making fireworksand fire crackers a cause for your dog’s anxiety, stress and fear during theHalloween season. In addition, Halloween night brings out the little ghosts andgoblins that ring your doorbell and constantly come to your door, raising the noiselevel even more. So what can you do for your dog?Prevention:• Make sure your dog has a collar and ID tags in case of escape.• Take your dog for a longer-than-usual walk to work out some of his/her energy.• Let your dog out frequently for elimination before the fireworks start.

• Purchase an over the counter natural calming product that can be sprayed in the environment ahead of timefrom your Veterinarian called ADAPTIL.

• For extreme cases of anxiety please contact your Veterinarian to discuss medical options.On The Spot Suggestions:• Consider crating your dog. Most dogs associate their crate as a place of security and safety. In addition any anxiety induced

actions will be contained keeping them safe. This will also reduce the chance of your dog escaping and getting into thechocolate treats which is very dangerous if consumed.

• If your dog enjoys car rides, this activity may calm him/her down.• Take the Halloween candies outside, eliminating the door bell ringing and lessening the activity around your house.• Distract your dog with some of his favorite things. Fill a toy with dog treats or other dog goodies to keep his/her interest.Do not soothe your dog too much or punish him/her in times of stress. This will only increase their anxiety. Instead becheerful and in control.

RENOVATION

Q: Am I financiallyprepared for arenovation?

A: Our team can helpidentify the liabilities, if any,of your current home. By

identifying liabilities early in the project, youcan financially prepare yourself for areas thatmay require funds beyond those initiallyanticipated.Sometimes, however, problems are hidden, andare uncovered only after the renovation hascommenced. Perhaps, during demolition, it’sdiscovered that the existing wood wall studsin your home are spaced on 4’-0” centers andthe design calls for the addition of a secondstory. The existing wall construction will notadequately support the load incurred by thesecond story addition, as initially expected.Labor and materials are now required beyondthe scope of the contractor’s bid.Having a modest contingency fund in additionto your base project budget allows you to beprepared for an event such as this.

TOP REAL ESTATE AGENT #1READERS CHOICE PICK FOR 2012

A HIGHER STANDARD

Q. I’ve found the house I want. How much do I offer?A. Step one is to determine the true value of the home based on current market conditions.Rely on an experienced Realtor who specializes in the area you’ve chosen to advise you on thevalue of the home. They will study recent comparable sales, as well as the homes condition andimprovements to calculate a property’s value. Once the value is determined your Realtor willadvise you on a negotiating strategy to help you get the best price.Most Buyers focus too much attention on the asking price when trying to decide what to offeron a potential home. Although the list price may provide an indicator of the Seller’s expecta-tions it can often be very different than the current market value. Some Realtors will price ahome right on or even below market value. In this situation, I would recommend a strong offer(maybe even full price) and hope to get it accepted before a potential bidding war. Others maylist their home far above market value. In this case try a low offer but keep in mind it may taketime for the Seller’s to realize there home is not valued at the price they had first anticipated.The biggest mistake I see is Buyer’s writing “lowball” offers on well priced homes. These offersoften offend the Sellers and get rejected outright without even a consideration, and result insomeone else getting the home at what was all along a fair price.Every situation is different and your Realtor will be able to advise you on the best approach.

Q: I think I would enjoy a cruise, but Idon’t have anyone to go with…A: Cruise line literature often includes pictures of couples and families having a wonderfultime on board, but cruising is a terrific getaway for single people, too. If you don’t like totravel on your own, a cruise will automatically make you part of an onboard communitywhere it’s easy to find people to chat, dine or dance with: but, you always have the option ofspending time on your own. For example, you can lose yourself in a corner with a good book,relax in the sun, attend a lecture, take in a cooking demonstration or enjoy a pampering skintreatment or massage in the onboard spa. The amount of socializing you do is really up toyou. If you want to meet others, join in games and enrichment programs on board; let thecruise director know that you’re looking for other singles to socialize with; and sign up for ashore excursion, which will give you a shared (and fun) experience with other passengers.For more ideas and tips for single cruising, talk with your Cruise Holidays personalcruise expert.Come visit us and our travel professionals at the corner of Ottawa and Lougheed next toWhite Spot with ample storefront parking.

LAWYER

Q: My son and his wife have separated.We hardly ever get to see our grandchildrenanymore. What can we do?

A: Grandparents and other extended familyplay an important role in children’s lives and it isimportant for the children to maintain family tiesafter a separation. Usually the parent’s time withthe children should be determined first, and then

each parent would have the choice and opportunity to have the childrenspend time with the extended family, during his or her parenting time.However, if grandparents or other important people in the children’slives cannot make arrangements to see the children through eitherparent then they can apply to the courts for “contact” with the children.Contact is decided according to the children’s best interest . A family lawlawyer can assist with making such arrangements or applying to court.

Fire PreventionWeek looks at kitchens

John [email protected]

With Fire Prevention Weekunderway, Port Coquitlamfirefighters are turning theirattention to the kitchen.

According to deputyfire chief Randy Minaker,kitchen fires are very com-mon, and because of that,Port Coquitlam-based firstresponders are making apoint to reinforce house-hold safety tips during FirePrevention Week, which runsfrom Oct. 6 to 12.

“We have so many distrac-tions in our day-to-day lives

and we try to multi-task, butwhat ends up happening inmost of the cases that we seeis pots get left on the stoveunattended, or someone getspreoccupied, and that’s howthings start in fire,” Minakersaid.

Minaker is remindingresidents to always stay inthe kitchen while cooking;turn pot handles inward;

keep flammable items awayfrom the stove and alwaysbe alert.

He also notes that peoplecooking with canola or otherplant-based oils need to beextra mindful in the kitchen.

“Traditionally, if you’reused to cooking with ani-mal fat products and youmake the switch to canolaor plant-based oil, you’ll find

that it gets a lot hotter andwill catch on fire quicker,”Minaker said.

PoCo firefighters are alsoreminding residents to ensurethat their smoke alarms arein proper working order, andthat there is one situated onevery floor within a home.Batteries should be checkedmonthly and changed everysix months, while the alarms

should be replaced every dec-ade.

Alarms more than 10 yearsold can be recycled at theBiggar Bottle Depot, locatedat 2577 Kingsway Ave. in PortCoquitlam.

Here are some quick safetytips on preventing kitchenfires, courtesy of the City ofPort Moody:

• Stay in the kitchen whenyou are frying, grilling, broil-ing or boiling food.

• If you must leave theroom, even for a short periodof time, turn off the stove.

• When you are simmer-ing, baking or roasting food,check it regularly, stay inthe home, and use a timer toremind you.

• If you have young chil-dren, use the stove’s backburners whenever possible.Keep children and pets atleast three feet away fromthe stove.

• When you cook, wearclothing with tight-fittingsleeves.

• Keep potholders, ovenmitts, wooden utensils, paperand plastic bags, towels andanything else that can burnaway from your stovetop.

Well-knownmusiciandies in hismid-eightiesTheresa [email protected]

A man who made his mark in education andthe performing arts has died.

Henry Waack, who received a lifetimeachievement award from the Coquitlam-Maple Ridge branch of the B.C. RegisteredMusic Teachers Association and an Excellencein the Arts award from the ArtsConnect Tri-Cities Arts Council, died Oct. 4. He was 85.

Waack moved to B.C. in 1970, and was afounding member of Douglas College.

“He was there at the very beginning of themusic program in 1970,” said Bob Caldwell,coordinator of the Community Music Schooland a member of the college’s faculty of music.“They worked out of a little church hall. Therewasn’t even property at that time.”

Before moving to New Westminster in 1970,Waack taught in Alberta, played semi-probaseball and hockey, and was a provinciallyranked tennis player. In Alberta, he producedmany musicals, was a music critic for theLethbridge Herald and played in the JasperPark Lodge orchestra for seven seasons in theearly 1960s — where he met celebrities likeBing Crosby.

“He’d tell stories about all sorts of stars,”Caldwell said. “Some would be performing;some would be passing through.”

Waack won many awards and scholarships,and studied piano with leading Canadian,American and European teachers. He alsomade an impact with the thousands of stu-dents he taught through his career.

“He was a great teacher,” said Caldwell,who had Waack as an instructor in the 1970s.

“He taught piano, classical piano. He was veryconfident playing jazz and pop.”

Throughout his career, Waack was musicaldirector for more than 75 musicals.

Waack retired in 1993, but continued teach-ing at the college part-time for another fiveyears. He taught privately until four monthsago — marking 71 years of teaching.

A funeral will be held on Friday, Oct. 11 at11 a.m. at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church,710 Sixth St. in New Westminster. In lieu offlowers the family asks that donations bemade to the Henry Waack Scholarship Fund(in care of the Douglas College Foundation,David Lam Campus, 1250 Pinetree Way,Coquitlam, B.C., V3B 7X3).

They’re lighting the lamp with such consistency,you’d think they were employees of B.C. Hydro.

The Coquitlam Express’ top line of AdamRockwood, captain Ryan Rosenthal and CoreyMackin all sit within the top five in league scoring

and have put up 50 points between them in the first 10 gamesof the season.

As of Tuesday, Rockwood sat atop the league scoring racewith 19 points, while Mackin claimed third (16 points), andRosenthal fifth (15 points).

Their offensive prowess was on full display last weekendduring Coquitlam’s three straight wins: two over Chilliwack(5-2 and 9-4) and a 5-1 road win over Surrey.

Rosenthal put up nine points in that stretch (six goals andthree assists), while Mackin found the scoresheet seven times.Rockwood added to his points lead with a five-point showing.

“With those guys, their vision, their ability to make playsand their ability to score is all high end,” said Express coachBarry Wolff. “They’ve molded together quickly and they’re funto watch.”

A Coquitlam native, Rockwood’s statline this season showsfive goals and 14 assists, and as such, he’s a natural in theplaymaker role.

As for Mackin and Rosenthal, their instructions these daysare likely similar to those initially given to them at the age offive: go to the net with your stick on the ice.

“Rockwood always seems to find me and Mackin in scor-ing areas, so I just keep trying to keep my stick available forpasses.” Rosenthal said. “I just try to get as many shots on netas I can, because anything can happen when you put them onnet. Luckily they’ve been going in for me.”

Rosenthal scored twice in each of the three contests, begin-ning with Friday’s pair. Mackin also tallied twice in the win,while Bo Pieper added a single. Saturday’s one-sided affairsaw Canon Pieper end up with a hat trick, while singles went

to Marc Biega, Jackson Cressey, Matthew Berry-Lamontagnaand Mackin.

The Express’ final victory of the weekend included a two-goal effort from Rockwood and a single from Canon Pieper,

while Rosenthal’s third straight two-goal game helped extendhis consecutive point streak to six contests.

“Rosenthal is just a pure goal scorer,” Rockwood said.

ROCKWOOD,MACKINANDROSENTHAL PILEON POINTS

Cents, Fox to squareoff in all Tri-Cities tiltFox’s defensive stud proved his mettle Friday against one

of the province’s premier backs, helping to contain arguablythe most explosive running game in B.C. for the first time thisseason.

The No. 2 ranked Terry Fox Ravens downed No. 5 Mouat 17-7 largely on the strength of team defence, a point driven homeby Isaiah Stevens’ 12-tackle contest.

Stevens, who also returned a blocked field goal for a touch-down, was instrumental in keeping Mouat back Maleek Ironsoff the scoresheet for the first time this season.

“Simply put, Isaiah makes our defense much better,” saidFox co-coach Tom Kudaba. “He is a tough, athletic player thatloves the game. We are so glad that he is a junior so we can bepart of his development for another season as well.”

On the offensive side of the ball, pivot Conner Mckeecontinued to pad his stats: he completed 12-of-15 passingattempts for 165 yards, and picked up 78 yards on the groundon seven carries.

Centennial, on the other hand, continued to round into formlast weekend as well after a 50-41 rout over Mt. Boucherie in

the Apple Bowl.A 14-14 game at the half was blown wide open in the third,

as the Cents entered the fourth quarter with a cushy 50-21lead. That there was a letdown towards the end of the gamewas overshadowed by the fact that the Cents didn’t concedeany turnovers or take discipline-related penalties.

“When we play with composure and nearly mistake free, wecan be quite successful,” said Cents coach Simon Quinto.

“I have been really impressed with how well our athletes

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23“I’m not the type of guy who’s out there

doing it single-handedly, that’s why I reallyenjoy my linemates being up there in the scor-ing lead with me.”

So while Rockwood is seen as the distribu-tor, and Rosenthal is the finisher, that leavesMackin to play the role of Steady Eddie — hiseight goals and eight assists suggest he can doa bit of everything.

“Rockwood makes the passes and Rosenthalis the main scorer, so I’m kind of the guy inthe middle who can do a bit of both,” saidMackin.

And while the individual numbers continue

to improve, so too do the team stats.The Express have now won three straight

and sit a single point back of the MainlandDivision leaders from Langley. The powerplayis starting to click — Coquitlam scored fourtimes with the man advantage on the week-end — and the club’s 50 goals-for is tops inthe league.

“Nothing changes for us, though,” Wolffsaid.

“We continue to work on everything every-day and we want go get better everyday.We’ve got a long ways to go.”

Coquitlam hosts Langley on Friday, andtravels to Merritt on Saturday.

Express trio dazzles

CHAN KEEPS ON DIGGINGIt’s a safe bet to assume that Alanna Chan

likes her relatively new digs at SFU.A sophomore with the Clan’s volleyball pro-

gram, Chan again led her team in digs during a3-1 loss (25-22, 25-19, 25-15 and 25-18) to theNorthwest Nazarene Crusaders on Saturday.

The Port Moody native copped a team-high20 digs in the loss, while fellow Port Moody na-tive Alison McKay finished with 10.

MEHRABI POTS PAIRMilad Mehrabi scored twice in UBC’s 3-0

win over the UNBC Timberwolves Sunday,helping to keep the Coquitlam native atopthe Canada West soccer scoring race.

Mehrabi found the back of the net twicebefore the first half was out, giving him eightgoals in 10 games this season.

With the win, the 9-1 Thunderbirdsclinched a spot in the Canada West playoffs.

Quarterback Nick Okamotocontinues to be Centennial’soffensive catalyst, and rushedfor 210 yards and three touch-downs.

He also aired out a pairof TD passes to JordanKennedy, while running backJP Kalambay picked up 185yards on the ground for twoTDs.

The two teams now squareoff in an `all Tri-Cities match-up Friday night at Percy Perry
