Felicia Allen must run one of the only fan clubs where success is measured by the members’ ability to keep the object of their affection from being sold off by the pound and then slaughtered.

Allen is the founder and heart of the Standardbred Horse Fan Club, based in Port Coquitlam but home to members from around the world.

All of them share a love of the solid, powerful, personable animals known best for their skill at harness racing.

She’s also a master at making an eloquent argu-ment that standardbreds — trained in the unique trot or pace suited to pulling a sulky but useless for carrying a rider — should not be sold for slaughter when their careers end.

Allen, like others in the club, has made it her life’s work to provide an alternative for the “tal-ented, magnificent” horses.

Through her Epona stable, she retrains retired standardbreds to carry riders. Along the way, she offers training and riding lessons, “re-homes” horses headed to the auction ring (sometimes CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Got Pain?LASERLIGHT

THERAPYmay be the

answer

What our patients say...Neck and Shoulder Pain“On day one, it was dif to move my head all the way left and right and nowI can. I could not lift my left arm above my head and now I can. THE PAIN IS GONE!If I hurt myself again, I will treat with LASER Therapy.”

Foot Pain“I had pain in my big toe for over a year but after having only 5 laser treatments thepain was gone. I am happy with the service and the friendly atmosphere. I highlyrecommend this safe, non-invasive therapy.”

Burn Injury“...My calf had made contact with a hot tail pipe of a Harley and the burn was justoozing. There was a noticeable improvement after one treatment, and after 3 in arow, it was as good as gone!”

Sciatica“My GP could not offer any treatment other than pain killers and waiting it out. Aftersix laser treatments I am now pain free and have resumed my active life style.”

Spinal StenosisI was diagnosed with Central Canal Spinal Stenosis and was suffering with pain,bilateral foot drop and decreasing ability to walk. I had been recommended to dosurgery to the pain. After 13 treatments of Laser Light Therapy, there was somuch relief. I am no longer taking any pain medications. I have no tingling in my feetand am able to walk without my cane now.

Plantar FasciitisLaser Therapy was a godsend. I suffered a severe case of Plantar Fasciitis in both feetto the point where I could barely function. After about 5 treatments I started noticinga change for the better and after 10 treatments I was able to resume my daily walkswithout pain and discomfort. It was also recommended that I wear proper orthotics toavoid future incidents.

Wound“Thanks to laser treatment (6 treatments) and a course of vitamins, a very bad skin disorderover my legs and left hand cleared up. I had this problem for over 6 months.Thanks again.”

Low intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated,non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy fromboth superluminous and laser diodes. Cells use this energyto repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’snatural healing process. Based on the genetic makeup of thecells, an individual’s response to LILTwill vary to some degree.

GOT PAIN?

LASERLIGHT

THERAPYmay be theanswer

Adductor TendonI pulled/tore an adductor tendon playing soccer and assumed it would be 4-6 weeks beforeI’d be back playing. I started the Laser Treatments right away and was able to start lightrunning within a week. After two weeks of treatment, I am ready to get back playing.

SciaticaI couldn’t believe it – after one treatment the pain in my back was almost gone. After 12treatments with Laser Light Therapy the sciatic pain was gone.

Shoulder and Neck Pain...I experienced an extreme pain in my shoulder and neck.

Within a few treatments, I noticed a difference right away, and the pain had started tosubside. My nights were not restless anymore and I could put the pain killers aside.

...I can now proudly say that I feel totally recovered...and simply can’t say how wonderfulthis treatment has turned out for me.

I would strongly recommend anybody with pain in his or her shoulder, neck, back orwhatever to consult with the team at Tri City Chiropractic.

ACL TEARI had swelling in my left knee and a torn ACL. .....It got to the point that I couldn’t evenstraighten my knee. But after treatments of LASER therapy, my knee is feeling a lot betterand I’m not having pain in it.

Neck and Shoulder PainOn day one, it was difficult to move my head all the way left and right and now I can.I could not lift my left arm above my head and now I can. THE PAIN IS GONE!If I hurt myself again, I will treat with LASER Therapy.

Achilles Tendon TearI am an avid squash player in my late forties. I had partially torn the Achilles tendon on myright foot during a squash match. This was the fourth time in five years that I have injured myAchilles, and each time it took about 5 months to heal. ... After 7 weeks of treatment, I havemore range of motion in my ankles and the scar tissue that should have developed in that areanever did due to the laser therapy treatment.

I was back playing squash in 7 weeks, rather than 5 months. D. Jung

For many, the summertime pro-vides the perfect opportunity to kick back, relax, and forget about the outside world.

You could say it’s the perfect ‘me time.’

But for some in the Tri-Cities, the sunny months are no less a struggle to get by.

It is a reality not lost on the folks at the SHARE food bank, who often see donations and food stocks drop off around this time of year.

“So it’s always the time of year around in July and August where there’s less on the shelves, espe-cially for families, they don’t have the supports that they typically have at schools, the needs they have are even sharper than they would be otherwise,” said SHARE’s CEO Martin Wyant.

A quick snapshot of the operation illustrates just how much need there is in the community.

During the last fiscal year, the food bank distributed 19,122 food hampers to 5,467 people, while serving 2,448 households and 1,985 children.

The organization also noted 36 per cent of the people who used the food bank this year are under the age of 18.

Wyant said the number of people using the service has remained steady since the food bank saw a big surge in users back in 2010.

That has the organization plan-

ning to bring a little bit of Santa to the summer, through its 12 Days of Christmas in July campaign.

Starting July 15, the food bank has a number of food and fundrais-ing activities planned to help get the shelves stocked.

Wyant noted the summer cam-paign is needed for the food bank to get enough money and food to last until the real Christmas season, when giving is much more preva-lent.

The food bank is encouraging the community to come out and support the various events, or start their own food drives in the workplace.

As part of the 12 Days of Christmas in July campaign, SHARE is also opening up the food bank on July 22 to the general public for a tour.

It’s the first time the food bank has held this type of event.

Wyant said the open house is an opportunity for the public to see the operation in action.

“It’s a real eye-opener for people that haven’t gone through it before,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW.

“I think people build an image in their mind of what a food bank is — of what people will get when they show up — and those images that they build in there minds are often

quite different than the reality.”He also said SHARE is looking for

feedback or ideas from the public at the open house that might enhance the food bank service.

The details of that event are still being worked out.

Here’s what you’ll need to know about the events and opportun-ities to take part in the 12 Days of Christmas in July campaign:

• The Family Jingle will take place at Coquitlam Centre on July 26, from 2 to 6 p.m., in the Shaw WIFI TV Lounge. The event will include collecting food, playing games, edu-cation on the food bank, competi-tions, raffle draws, face painting, along with the Coquitlam Centre Street Team.

• The 12 Days of Christmas in July Food Drive will be held outside of the Real Canadian Superstore Westwood location July 26 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. SHARE is also giving away one of two pairs of tickets to the Honda Celebration of Light for anyone who donates a minimum of $10 at the food drive.

If you’re looking to donate, this is what the food bank needs: canned vegetables; canned fruit; juice; canned meat, like tuna; pasta sauce; rice; Ensure — meal supplements; cereal; granola; peanut butter.

SHARE is also looking for four to six volunteers that would be avail-able on Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. to volunteer at the food bank. For info, go to www.sharesociety.ca.

Stocking the summer shelves

SHARE is launching its 12 Days of Christmas in July, answering a growing need to help provide food for people in the Tri-Cities this summer.


The City of Coquitlam has slammedthe brakes on a plan to develop town-houses on a 35-acre piece of land onBurke Mountain that was originally tohave included a middle school and com-munity centre.

The move comes after area residentsran a petition drive against the plan for denser housing, arguing it would bringin hundreds more people into an areaalready short on green space, backyardsand parking.

The group collected about 250 names.Monday night, as the plan was to have

its first reading in council, city managerPeter Steblin announced instead thatthe city would be recommending furtherpublic consultation before the issue isbrought back to council. An update will be presented in two weeks, he said, not-ing that plans now call for the school to be built elsewhere.

Ian Radnidge, the city’s acting man-ager of development services, told repor-ters in June that the school district had analternate site in Partington Creek desig-nated for the school, and that the city was intending to build the community centrethere as well.

The initial plan also called for removalof any reference to two sites for afford-able housing on the parcel.

The city is completing its Affordable Housing Strategy and is moving away from designating specific properties forlow-cost housing, Radnidge said.

rescuing them directly at auctions by outbid-ding the “kill buyers”) and spreads the word about the breeds suitability for riding, police work, therapy and competitive jumping — their “second careers,” as she calls them.

Allen rode as a child in Copenhagen and when her family landed in North Vancouver, they operated a stable on their property.

Showing and training became her “life’s work,” and she has gone on to study human-equine communication and the value of horses in therapy for people with social challenges like autism.

“Horses are the supreme survivors,” Allen says. “They date back to the dinosaurs. They are animals of highly developed instinct, and they sense their environment like an antenna.”

From early in her work, she says, she was troubled by standardbreds’ bad reputation as riding horses — especially when it meant that most were sent to auction directly from their last racing season, often for $500 or $600.

Ten years ago, Allen founded the club to share her enthusiasm for the breed with other horse fans, and to launch her fundraising, res-cue and education programs.

Every race season is different. One year, 10 horses might be saved; once, it was 23. Homes are found, and horses retrained or retired as companion animals.

The public is invited to get a look at the stable and join in celebrating national Standardbred Horse Day on July 13.

The club is hosting a family fun day when kids and parents are welcome to meet the rescued horses, play with Hamlet, the pot-belly rescue pig, take part in a naming contest for one of the new horses and enjoy tractor rides, games, raf-fles and food, including vegan options. Funds raised from the day will go towards acquiring an equestrian centre for standardbred work.

Although the day will be a celebration of her favourite breed, Allen says the day is mostly a chance for people to leave behind their screens and wifi and enjoy some fresh air and friendly animals.

The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 13 at the Epona Stable, 3323 Devon Road, Port Coquitlam.

Admission $1 for children, $3 for adults. Proceeds will be used for care and feeding of rescued horses.

Fire chief puts out wild fi re warning

Club hosts family fun day

Jeremy [email protected]

It’s looking like nothing but sunny skies and warm temper-atures now that summer is in full swing.

But that also means the forests around the Tri-Cities are starting to dry out, giving some pause for concern for the Port Moody fire department. The department has received complaints from residents liv-ing on the north shore of the city about illegal campfires.

Fire Chief Remo Faedo said it’s an annual exercise to deal with teens lighting fires in places they shouldn’t, but with the fire danger rating poten-tially heading to red, he wants to send out a warning.

“Fires can actually spread pretty fast up on the north shore in the forested area, that means the forested area can burn down, but more import-antly you’ve got houses on the interface that would be vul-nerable,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. “That would be a night-mare come true for us.”

And the fire department has been finding campfires all over the community, including Burt Flinn Park, Noon Creek ravine and the College Park area.

In some cases, firefighters have recovered gas cans at the site of some these fires.

“When you start seeing that kind of activity, you get pretty concerned,” Faedo said.

Port Moody does allow open fires, but they must be for per-

sonal warmth or cooking and contained to private property. However, fires on any public city land are prohibited and could lead to fines.

Faedo said what the fire department is finding is a no-no.

The issue has also caught the attention of City Hall.

Mayor Mike Clay said he’s deeply con-cerned about people set-ting fires in a forested area where it could not only wipe out the forest, but spread to nearby homes.

“It’s putting people in dan-ger,” he said.

The Port Moody Police D e p a r t m e n t is also get-ting involved, noting it has received complaints about young people starting large bonfires in wooded areas.

Police spokesman Const. Luke van Winkel indicated officers will respond to bonfire calls to make sure the fires are safely put out.

But he said the department prefers to take an educational approach with people before cracking down with fines.

“Normally most people are responsive when you give them a thorough explanation

why these things are in place,” Van Winkel said.

“It isn’t just a no-fun pol-icy. It’s because of the poten-tial dangers of having these unregulated fires.”

Just as a reminder, under the Wildfires Act, Port Moody is part of the Coastal region of B.C. Currently there are no restrictions on campfires

in the region, but there are restrictions on open fires.

A campfire is defined as an open fire that burns piled material no larger than 0.5 metres in height and 0.5 metres in width for recreational purposes.

A bonfire falls into sec-ond category of open fires:

An open fire, excluding camp-fires, that burns piled materi-als no larger than two metres high and three metres wide.

It is illegal to create any fire on Port Moody city property.

It’s also worth noting inten-tionally or recklessly causing damage to Crown forestland by starting a fire could lead to a fine up to $1,000,000 or imprisonment for up to three years, or both.

If you spot a fire in a wooded area, call the fire department.

Coquitlam wants Metro

Vancouver to delay a decision on a controversial $500-mil-lion regional garbage incin-erator for three years – and to produce a “current and comprehensive” business and environmental case in the meantime.

The delay would provide time to assess technologies and recycling practices that have developed since Metro proposed the burner a dec-ade ago, councillors argued Monday night.

It would also mean that a vote on the incinerator could become an issue in the prov-incial election slated for 2017 – and “give citizens a chance to have their say,” Coun. Bonita Zarrillo argued.

Coquitlam council has been battling the incinerator for years and was poised to vote Monday on a resolution asking Metro to delay a deci-sion on the incinerator for two years.

After listening to a high-level delegation of Metro staff present a defence of the

plan, and after grilling them for about two hours, council decided instead to ask for a three-year delay.

Their objections to the plan ranged from a lack of any business plan to a lack of detail on a site or incineration method and a failure to take into account the growth of recycling practices.

“I know what a business plan should (look like),” Coun. Lou Sekora told the delegation.

“Here’s what it will cost, here’s what (usable energy) it’s going to produce, here’s what we can sell the energy for.

You have no site, no cost to haul (garbage to the inciner-ator). It’s not really a business plan, it’s not complete.”

Coun. Neal Nicholson also pressed hard for a detailed business case.

“It doesn’t consider the impact of changes in technol-ogy and municipal recycling facilities (that might open). There will be a reduction in the waste stream… This doesn’t look at the broad pic-

ture, it doesn’t consider that the world has changed since the original decision was made.

“My challenge is that the further down the road we get to a final decision, the more

expensive it is to say no.”Coun. Craig Hodge argued

that the economics of produ-cing energy from waste no longer justify the incinerator and that “burning is not an option environmentally.”

“I want more answers,” he said. “I want better answers.”

Council also echoed criticsof the plan who say it relieson selling electricity that theincinerator produces to B.C.Hydro for a premium pricethat Hydro officials say theyhave not agreed to pay.

Metro has yet to settle on asite for the new facility.

Four proposals havesurfaced for sites in PortMellon, Nanaimo, Delta andVancouver.

Nanaimo and Vancouverboth oppose the plans, andPort Coquitlam Mayor GregMoore, chair of Metro’s boardof directors, has said it’sunlikely Metro would buildin a city that is against theplan.

Metro’s only incineratornow operates in Burnaby.

In June, Coquitlam councilurged that all Lower Mainlandresidents be permitted to voteon whether the incineratorshould proceed, with thevote held at the same time asthe referendum on regionaltransportation funding.

In May, Maple Ridge askedMetro to delay its plan fortwo years.

Coquitlam RCMP are hoping the image of an alleged crook, who has been busy scram-ming seniors out of their money, will help lead to the suspect’s capture.

On Tuesday, local Mounties released a pair of photos of a suspect at ATM machines inves-tigators believe he used to steal money from two victims.

The first incident happened May 10, when police were called to Port Coquitlam after a purse was stolen from a vehicle.

Investigators believe two suspects followed the 58-year-old victim around earlier in the day and secretly recorded her credit card’s PIN number when she made a purchase. The suspects then followed her home.

As the victim got out of her car, a man and a woman distracted her by asking for water for their overheating engine.

Police said the Good Samaritan went inside her house to get some water to help the couple. After she gave them the water, she started to unload her groceries from her car.

As the duo was leaving, they asked for more water again in case their engine overheated down the road.

The victim went inside to get more water, but when she returned, the pair had vanished along with her purse.

Within minutes, the thieves had already withdrawn cash from one of the bankcards.

Police said the pair also acted like they were in a relationship by holding hands.

The vehicle they were driving was a black Honda.

Coquitlam RCMP believe they are the same suspects from a scam on another senior reported in the Tri-Cities NOW in June.

On June 8, Coquitlam resident Shirley Magliocco had her purse stolen in a similar fashion by a man and a teenaged girl looking for water for their overheated van.

In this case, when the man asked for hot water, Magliocco, who was just trying to be helpful, told the Tri-Cities NOW she went inside to her laundry room.

The teenager followed.Magliocco said she got distracted by her

new alarm system sounding and went upstairs to shut it off.

When she returned, the girl, the man and the van were gone. So was her purse.

The thieves quickly got about $1,500 in cash before Magliocco cancelled her cards.

Mounties hope the release of the pictures will help get the word out to the public about the scam, so others don’t become victims.

“We’ll try everything we can to catch him because it doesn’t look like he’s going to stop,” RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said.

He recommended people do what they can to shield their pin numbers when they make a purchase in an effort to avoid becoming a victim.

The male suspect is described as Caucasian about 35-years-old, approximately six-feet tall, with black greasy hair, wearing a white shirt and jeans.

The female suspect in the first incident is described as about 25-years-old, wearing a very tight white shirt and jeans.

In the second incident, the woman is described as a teen about 15 to 16 years old with an average height, medium build, and long dark hair.

Anyone with information about the sus-pects is asked to contact the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file 2014-12462 or 2014-15580.

Anyone who has been paying attention to the evolution of First Nations rights and powers in B.C. over the past 20 years or so should not be

surprised by the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision that recognized a spe-cific aboriginal title.

Nevertheless, given the dire warnings from some of economic chaos that will result from the historic decision, there is reason to be concerned about its impact on B.C.’s economy.

The high court resolved what started out in 1983 as a dispute over a logging license but which evolved into a land-mark case about the aboriginal title rights of a specific First Nations, in this instance the Tsilhqot’in Nation in the Chilcotin region of the Interior.

The concept of aboriginal title was first established by the Supreme Court of Canada more than 40 years ago, in the Calder vs. B.C. case. But the recent deci-sion represents the first time in history the high court has formally declared abo-riginal title to exist in a specified area.

The decision potentially gives First Nations that establish title (not an easy task) a veto over activities on their land. Where title is established, the consent of the First Nation band in question must be gained before activities can proceed. The high court did provide an escape clause of sorts for governments. If a government meets a three-pronged test, it can overri-de the lack of First Nations consent.

The test is a potentially rigorous one: a government must fully show it has consulted and accommodated First Nations’ interests, the proposed action must be “compelling and substantial” for the public (which includes First Nations) good, and that the government is con-sistent with its fiduciary obligations to First Nations.

But the court also referenced a pre-

vious decision (Delgamuukw) in citing specific activities that can potentially infringe on aboriginal title, and they include forestry, mining, infrastructure, environmental protection and “the gene-ral economic development of the interior of British Columbia.”

So while the decision provides clarity and, eventually, certainty over issues pertaining to First Nations rights and powers, it didn’t vastly reshape the lands-cape on this matter.

An analysis by the Osler law firm’s aboriginal law group (entitled: “The Sky is Not Falling”) notes this. “Despite the significant media attention that the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision has received, it represents a reiteration of established law regarding aboriginal title that has been developed over decades,” it said.

Another prominent law firm, MacMillan LLP, had this to say: “With the exception of clarifying what is required to establish occupation, the decision does not make significant changes to the law of aboriginal title as it has come to exist over the last several decades.”

In B.C., the reality on the ground for the past decade or so is that First Nations have had a de facto veto over many significant activities on land claimed as ancestral. Increasingly, both the pro-vincial government and private sector companies have realized this, and have had to ensure that First Nations support

is secured -- not ignored - before procee-ding with a particular development. And, really, what is the problem with that?

Not having First Nations support can frustrate or even block a particular deve-lopment (hello there, Northern Gateway pipeline). The court’s decision would seem to cement this reality along more defined lines.

However, while the B.C. government and many companies doing business here are aware of this, the trouble is that many outside interests are not and they (i.e. potential capital investors) may well be thinking that the sky has fallen, particularly if they pay more attention to media coverage than legal analyses.

This is where concerns about the impact on the provincial economy arise. It may well be that an investment chill may develop in this province, as potentialinvestors nervously wonder whether it’s safe to invest in a project where the backing of the First Nations concerned is not secured, or not certain.

It seems likely that the investment world may be unsettled for a period of time, as things flowing from this decision sort themselves out. There are outstan-ding questions: what happens to overlap-ping land claims when it comes to esta-blishing title is an example of just one.

In the meantime, it may be wise and prudent for any natural resource develo-per to secure the support, if not the out-right partnership, of First Nations before proceeding — which is often the case today anyways.

While there’s no doubt the Supreme Court decision is historic and significant, British Columbia has been moving in the decision’s direction for some time now. The sky is not falling folks, but it may have some storm clouds for a while.

There’s no doubt we get busy in the summer.After all, there’s so much to see and do when

the weather gets nice.There are vacations, kids camp, and BBQs to

attend.The needs of others tend to get lost in our own sunny

world.But that doesn’t mean other people around us aren’t

struggling to support themselves and put food on the table just because it’s warm outside.

The need in the Tri-Cities is year round. Just ask the people at SHARE food bank.

The summer months typically yield the least amount of food and cash donations to the food bank, which contrib-utes to low stock on the shelves.

It’s not a new problem, but it’s no less important to address.

That’s why SHARE is launching its 12 Days of Christmas in July campaign next week, profiled on page 4 of the Tri-Cities NOW.

The campaign aims to get people thinking about the less fortunate in this typically busy time, and more importantly doing something about it by donating.

There are several events planned that can get you feeling in the Christmas mood even though mercury is approach-ing 30 C.

One of those events is a food drive to be held outside of the Real Canadian Superstore Westwood location July 26 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The food bank is in need of items like canned vegetables, canned fruit, juice canned meat, like tuna, pasta sauce and much more.

This and other events are a great opportunity to give back and feel good before heading off on that long-deserved vacation of getaway.

Find some time to give this summer

VIEW FROM THE LEDGEKeith Baldrey

NUMBERS DON’T ADD UPGovernment keeps insisting that the teachers’ demands

are “unaffordable.”Actually, government has been spending $1,000 less per

student than the national average. If government spent the national average on our students, they would have over $500 million more every year for education. This is the amount that government has been siphoning away from the education sector for more than a decade.

When Peter Fassbender claims that teachers demands will cost over $2 billion, he is not mentioning that the $2 billion is spread out over five years. If you do the math, $500 million more over five years does make more than $2 billion. So if the government continues to hold the line on spending, they will be shortchanging our kids over $2 bil-lion over five years, compared to the rest of the country.

B.C. has the worst educator-student ratio in the country. Other provinces have hired more teachers (per student-capita) while B.C. continues to have less.

B.C. teachers have had enough. If other provinces can afford to spend more on their students, then so can B.C.

So whenever the government says the word “unafford-able,” what they really mean is they think B.C.’s students deserve less than students in other provinces. Is that what the citizens of BC want?

Don’t our kids deserve the same as other Canadian kids? B.C. should at least spend the national average. Anything less continues to rob them.

RIVERVIEW STORY MISSED CONTEXT

Re: “Riverview needs to include housing: Burpee,” Friday June 27.

I was happy to see that the arti-cle in the June 27 edition of the Tri-Cities Now publicized the Tri-Cities Homelessness & Housing Task Group’s expression of need for a range of housing options which could be accommodated on the Riverview Lands. We believe there does need to be a discussion in the community about the pos-sibility and feasibility of certain forms of housing on the Riverview Lands.

I am disappointed, however, that the article took this expres-sion of need out of context, and was not a fair representation of the scope of the Task Group’s rec-ommendations.

The Task Group’s “Renewing Riverview: Statement of Need,” published in May, groups the needs into two main components: a mental health & addictions well-ness centre, and housing — both transitional supportive housing and permanent affordable and market rental housing.

With regards the suggested

features of the wellness centre, there is a degree of resonance with the more recent report “Into the Future: The Coquitlam Health Campus,” prepared by Dr. John Higenbottam on behalf of the City of Coquitlam.

The Task Group’s Statement of Need is very clear, and I was very clear in my presentation to Coquitlam Council that the core feature of a re-dedicated Riverview should be the mental health & addictions wellness centre, with housing accom-modated on the periphery of the Riverview Lands such that it does not jeopardize the therapeutic, recreational, environmental and cultural values of the Lands.

It would not be possible to cover in a single newspaper article the full scope of and rationale for the recommendations in “Renewing Riverview: Statement of Need.”

I urge your readers to review the document in its entirety before passing judgement. The statement along with a companion docu-ment with supporting data can be found at www.tricitieshomeless-ness.ca/category/news.

GARBAGE BINS TOO TOUGH FOR SENIORS

Coquitlam has just launched its new garbage handling system. It is extremely onerous on the elderly and disabled.

The biggest problem is the curbside early morning placement requirement. My father is 88 years old. He cannot get his garbage (all five new containers) to the curb on his own.

He has someone who has been doing it the night before garbage day for him, for years. Apparently he will now be fined $500 for doing this in the future.

There is of course no common sense in City Hall. I have explored all options, including their sug-gestions that a Fraser Health caregiver show up at 5 a.m. on garbage day.

The lack of common sense is almost as bad as the discrimina-tion. I explained to the city hall personnel that his garbage is of course already outside but inside the fence. We simply want per-mission to put it outside of the fence the night before.

Apparently bears are aware of and will respect fences? Who knew. The official position is that

keeping garbage three feet inside your yard instead of three feet outside makes a difference. I don’t know how to deal with this other than ask for help from the media.

DEAD COUGAR PIC TOO MUCH

Re: “200-pound cougar killed in Port Moody,” Friday July 4.

I was saddened to see the headline regarding the cougar who was shot and killed in Port Moody [June 30]. I opened the paper to see under what circum-stances this sad event occurred only to see you had published a photo of the deceased cougar.

I found that photo both gratuit-ous and tasteless. It was com-pletely unnecessary to show the image and I cannot fathom why anyone thought publishing it was a good idea. Out of respect for the deceased animal and out of respect for people who actually care about the local wildlife that reside in our community, that photo should not have been pub-lished.

Todd Gnissios is on a mission to find a new Book Bus.

Unfortunately for the Coquitlam Public Library’s director, they don’t come by very easy.

“There’s certainly not a lot of book buses around,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW.

But that’s Gnissios’ task: find a replacement Book Bus or recreate the service in some way, after the library board voted to keep the ser-vice running.

However, the board also gave the director a mandate to replace the bus within the library’s current budget and through fundraising.

That means Gnissios will also have to find a replacement with about $70,000, the amount the library got back from insurance.

A new book bus can cost up to $300,000.The original van used for the service was

destroyed following a fire on May 2.The 1992 converted Econo Van had just

returned from a run before it caught fire in the parking garage of the library’s City Centre Branch on Pinetree Way.

The fire appeared to have started in the engine block, and was not considered suspi-cious.

The estimated loss of the vehicle, its con-tents and damage to the parking area was in the thousands.

The bus serviced the Burke Mountain and

Cottonwood Park neighbourhoods once a week each.

What makes the bus so expensive isn’t so much the vehicle itself, but the technology that goes into making it work.

The bus needs to be fully wired with Internet connection and the capability for it to access the library’s network.

The library board also decid-ed not to approach city council for new money to replace the bus.

Gniossis explained the library has other projects in the works more critical than the bus ser-vice.

While he suggested operating a mobile book service can be expensive, he noted the bus can not only go to more disadvantage neighbour-hoods in the city, but areas that are growing, and places like seniors homes and community events.

The board also asked the service be expand-ed to more areas of the city.

“If we’re going to put those kinds of resour-ces in that kind of service, than we must use it

better,” Gnissios said.But time to find a new bus is

of the essence for the library.Following the fire, the

library used a donated van tokeep the service running in alimited form, but the vehiclehad to be returned at the endof June.

In the meantime, thelibrary is renting a van for thenext month while the searchcarries on.

The original bus wasbought in 2009 and appearedto be popular among young

readers, with the library noting more than80 per cent of items checked out are for kidsand teens.

Coquitlam man still missing Jeremy [email protected]

The search continues for a missing Coquitlam man.

Nicola Candeloro, 44, was last seen Thursday (July 3) leaving his home in Coquitlam and was going for a walk in the Eagle Mountain area and Westwood Plateau.

Coquitlam teen on key in national competitionCindy [email protected]

Mariya Orlenko’s jour-ney started when her family moved to Canada from Kiev, Ukraine when she was two-years-old. Only a couple years later she began playing the piano with her grandma, who was a music teacher.

Those were the initial steps that led the 14-year-old Coquitlam pianist to winning the 2014 Canadian Music Competition (CMC) last week.

The first competition Orlenko entered was the Russian music festival when she was about seven-years-old and she has been in competi-tions almost yearly ever since.

“We do similar competitions every year. Starting at age 11, I was in the Richmond music competition every year,” said Orlenko.

Being a Dr. Charles Best Secondary student, she still manages to find the time to practice four to five hours a day, despite doing other rec-

reational activities such as tap and highland dancing.

With this strict regiment she

hopes to be accepted to Glenn Gould School in Toronto where she can study to become a con-cert pianist.

Orlenko’s love and dedica-tion to the art of piano have led her to success, including her recent win of the CMC.

Her favourite part about winning the competition was being able to play with an orchestra, something she had never done before.

“I just thought it was very cool that you get a chance to play with the orchestra,” Orlenko said.

The CMC helps further

musical education along withpreparing the musicians to theworld of elite-level competi-tion.

“[The Canadian MusicCompetition is] a unique occa-sion for the public to discoverand encourage young develop-ing musicians and emergingprofessionals,” says VincentLauzer, the CMC’s ArtisticAmbassador for 2014.

This year’s competitionincluded 268 participantsaged 7 to 30 who competedfrom June 21 until July 3.

The contest contained twopreliminary rounds where 500 contestants were scoredand needed a minimum of 85per cent in order to advance tothe National Final.

More than $100,000 inscholarship money has beendistributed, with Orlenkoreceiving around $1,000 tofurther her piano studies.

There are a total of four agegroups in the competition,with a total of four pianists, acelloist and a violinist winningtitles. Three people tied in the15-to-18 year old category.

Orlenko and the fiveother winners played at theCMC Gala held at the PalaisMontcalm in Québec City onJuly 5.

For many Canadians, retiring to the cottage is a lifelong dream: a fun, relaxing andrewarding way to spend retirement. But taking up permanent residence in cottage countryis a life transition that comes with rewards and challenges in equal measure.

Canadians who have made the transition understand that there are a wide range of factors thatshould be considered before permanently relocating to the cottage:

• Accessibility – How accessible is your property?• Social lifestyle – Many cottagers enjoy acres of property.Will you feel isolated?

• Operating costs – Maintaining a property in a ruralenvironment can be expensive.

• Estate – What is the best way to transition this asset inyour estate?

We have many clients that have achieved this dream and wouldbe happy to guide you through an analysis to see if this is aviable option for you and the ones you love.

Is moving to the cottage all it’s cracked-up to be?It depends who you ask.

How often shouldI seemy Dentist?

Gum disease is a very common disease.It is often linked to a higher risk of heartdisease, strokes and diabetes. Regularprofessional cleanings with the dentalhygienist can help to manage and controlthe progression of gum disease. Whenyou have your teeth cleaned, the bacteriain your mouth are disrupted. It takes about2-3 months after a dental cleaning for the bacteria to re-organizethemselves so they are able to cause disease again. Therefore,on average, the ideal interval between dental cleanings wouldbe about 3 months. Some people are not as susceptible to gumdisease and can tolerate a longer interval between visits. Otherissues such as age, medications, smoking and diabetes are allfactors that influence the health of your gums. Good oral habitssuch as brushing your twice daily and flossing regularly alsohelp to control disease. Good oral hygiene in combination withprofessional dental cleanings will greatly improve the healthof your gums.

year, or if adjustments are made for travel costs for visits. Otherwise, youwill need to apply to court for permission to move. A judge must weigh anumber of factors including the benefit the child will obtain from the move,the effect of having less time with the other parent, how other family andcommunity relationships would be affected, and the effect on the child’seducation. In some cases, the child’s opinion is also taken into account.A judge will consider the advantages to you of moving, but your child’sbest interests will be most important. It is important to determine whetheryou may move with your daughter before you make plans which can’t becancelled. Resolution of this matter through negotiation or applicationto court may take longer than you expect, so you shouldconsult with a lawyer when the possibility of a move arises.

Q: Can child support be backdated?A: In certain cases, Judges can make child supportpayments start before the date of a court order.The reasoning behind these retroactive supportpayments is to ensure that children have the supportthey are entitled to, when they are entitled to it. TheSupreme Court of Canada has ruled that parentshave an ongoing obligation to provide for childrenbased on their incomes as they change; therefore,

even if an agreement or court order is in place, a payor parent isrequired to provide the other parent with information about incomeincreases. The increase in child support can be made retroactive to thedate income increased, even if that happened months or years before.However, support won’t usually be increased retroactively unless noticewas given that income information was required or additional supportwas needed. There are a variety of other factors that a Judge willconsider before making an order for retroactive support. For example,a Judge will consider why a recipient parent has delayed a requestfor increased support or whether the retroactive support payment willcause hardship to the payor parent. Each case is different and timerestrictions do apply. An experienced family law lawyer canadvise you about your obligation to pay support or yourchildren’s entitlement to support.

If you are just getting started in sewing then getting a sewingmachine would be the first step as it will be required for manyconstruction techniques whether you are sewing crafts, garmentsor quilting. A sewing machine offers the most functionality ofthe two machines. A serger also known as an overlocker willtrim the edges of fabric at the same time it stitches an overlockstitch over the edge of the fabric. It is a must have with any avidsewer. A serger is also a great machine for constructing withknit fabrics, it allows the seams to still stretch and gives them anice finished appearance. Take a look at the seams of your yogapants or a T-Shirt and you will see they were made with a serger.

The two machines are tools that a sewer uses together to createwith. There are many more sewing machines to choose fromthen sergers as they have a wider range of use. A good sergerwill give you the option of using 2, 3 or 4 threads the moreadvanced sergers will give you the option of 5 or more threads,offering you the most creativity. Just like a sewing machine youneed to test out a serger before you purchase. Look for ease ofthreading, blade adjustments and differential feed adjustmentsalong with number of stitches and the ability to manually adjustthe tension if needed. If you have to choose between a sewingmachine or serger then you would want to get the sewingmachine first. We are always happy to show you the functions ofboth machines. Remember if the store won’t let you test drive itthen don’t buy it from there.

Should I get a sewing

machine or a serger?

Q. I’m thinking of buying a “fixer-upper”. Is this a good idea?A. Fixer-uppers are poorly maintained properties which have a lower marketvalue than other houses in the neighbourhood. It is often recommended thatbuyers find the least desirable house in the best neighbourhood, but there areseveral things to consider.

1. Are the expenses needed to bring the value of that property to its fullpotential market value within your budget?

2. Are the size and layout going to work with your vision? The layout can sometimesbe changed but often at a high cost if this involves “supporting” walls.

3. How much time do you have to devote to the project? If you’re planningon using your own handyman skills, you might save money, but it will takelonger.

4. Make sure to have a professional home inspection prior to buying. Youdon’t want surprises such as major problems with the foundation, plumbingor electrical.

Most buyers should avoid run-down houses that need major structural repairs.Those properties should be left to the builder or tradesman normally engagedin the repair business.

Heat stroke occurs in dogs who are left in a small confinedspace with poor air circulation (notably cars) or whenplaying or exercising outside on warm sunny humid days.Cars turn into ovens within 10 minutes, even in the shadewith the windows open. If it is only 26°C outside, thetemperature inside a car can reach 37°C in 10 minutesand a lethal 43°C in 20 minutes. Dogs cool themselvesby panting and by releasing heat through their paws. The

hot upholstery and air in vehicles prevents dogs from cooling themselves. If you witnessany dog in a car on a warm or humid day who you believe may be in distress, please askstores to page their customers and call the local SPCA or Police immediately. How torecognize the signs of overheating? First signs are restlessness and excessive panting,sometimes excessive drooling followed by very difficult (and loud) breathing, dry tackygums and agitation. Further elevation of body temperature leads to ataxia, very red gums,and tremors. In the end stages dogs are very weak, have laboured breathing, are unableto stand up or move and sometimes have seizures or collapse. These symptoms withoutcare are often followed by coma and death. Don’t waste time!!! Immediately call yourVeterinarian! And in the meantime try to cool your dog down by immersing in cool water orspraying with water. NEVER USE ICE WATER! This constricts the blood flow which inhibitscooling. Make sure that their head and neck are also wet. Give the dog some cool waterto drink. Please go to your Veterinarian or emergency hospital ASAP.

Summer Caution:Heat Stroke

OXFORDANIMAL HOSPITAL

VISIT OXFORD FOR “REFRESHING” ADVICE FOR YOUR PET

Embrace your calling

In his classic book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell describes the refusal of the call:

“Often in actual life, and not infrequently in the myths and popular tales, we encoun-ter the dull case of the call unanswered; for it is always possible to turn the ear to other interests. Refusal of the summons converts the adven-ture into its negative. Walled in boredom, hard work, or ‘culture,’ the subject loses the power of significant affirma-tive action and becomes a victim to be saved.”

I tell my children and patients that one’s calling is the intersection of four circles: (1) your talents [what you do better than everyone else], (2) your passions [what you care about, what you love to do], (3) your values [what is important, meaningful and true to you] and (4) the needs of the world.

This way of looking at the path of our careers and our lives has an almost universal resonance. I’ve encouraged my children to read widely, explore new experiences and nurture their talents in the lifelong adventure of discov-ering their calling — their positive potential in life.

There are precious few who discover the one great thing they were meant to do early in life. For most, it is a process of trial and error with many being sidelined and stuck by circumstances and settling for a life not quite complete.

Sometimes we may start with great dreams and ambi-tions but later realize that the life we had imagined is not for us. I have seen classmates and colleagues leave medicine in medical school and even after entering practice. It takes courage to give up old dreams that we have outgrown or that never really suited us.

My mother’s early child-hood was full of promise. She was intelligent and caring. Born and raised in Vancouver, she was well-read, speaking and writing perfect English. I imagined that she would have attended UBC and become a teacher or a writer.

But the trajectory of my mom’s life changed at age nine when her mother died, leaving her and her siblings orphaned. Their priority was to survive and with love, they chose to do this together. The older kids sacrificed their personal dreams to ensure the wellbeing of their siblings.

But by answering the call to keep the family together, they created an enduring legacy

of love, and all of my cousins and our children appreciate the value of family. We are called many times in life. If you listen carefully, you may hear the call each day.

In his Serenity Prayer, Reinhold Niebuhr wrote, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can-not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the dif-

ference.”With these words, I do not

hear resignation or surrender. They remind me to see the good, the bad and the posi-tive potential — to recognize opportunities and accept my own responsibility to be an agent of positive change.

Perfection has its own rewards, and the Port Moody Storm are eager to enjoy it all.

The under-14 girls soccer team finished the season just as they started it, with a strong win by edging the Saanich Fusion 1-0 in the Provincial A Cup champion-ship final in Burnaby on Sunday.

Determination got both teams into the final matchup, but the deciding factor came in the 55th minute when Emily Gomes was fouled in the Saanich box. Storm striker Maddie Low would take the penalty kick and calmly slot-ted it past the Fusion goalkeeper for what proved to be the game’s lone offensive tally.

“You can’t really replicate the pressure of taking a penalty kick to win a provincial title but you also couldn’t really be more pre-pared than she was to take one,” remarked coach and proud father

Jeremy Low. “She kept her calm better than most of the parents.”

As Port Moody proved all tour-nament long, defence came up huge and held the opposition at bay the rest of the way, with Ella Sutton maintaining the club’s clean sheet.

With Saanich pushing over the final minutes, defenders Maya Lewis and Jenna Patterson led the forces in securing the vic-tory.

“It was a lot of pressure on the girls — I think any final is, but especially so when you have gone undefeated all season and every-one is expecting you to win,” said Low.

Over the tourney’s four games, they out-scored the competition 11-0 and seemed in control near-ly every minute. But as the coach noted, preparation was key as it proved all season long.

“For the finals we told the girls to not try and play mistake free

soccer, because that is impos-sible, but to try and enjoy the moment, trust in their talent and readiness and play with joy.”

The Storm rolled near-perfect through the season, with 16 wins and two ties while serving up just three goals against.

The season also featured a Coastal Cup championship.

The Port Moody Storm are:Linnea Cassidy, Maranda Cherry, Taylor Cherry, Hailey Counsell,Leah Favaro, Julia Gair, Emily Gomes, Madison Hinde, Faith Holt, Maya Lewis, Maddie Low, Madeline Moore, Jenna Patterson, Abigail Schwartz,Brigitte Soutar, Ella Sutton andHannah Van Laethem.

ADANACS CLOSE GAPThe Coquitlam Adanacs are inching closer

to their first goal — a spot into the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs.

The Adanacs entered last night’s contest in Maple Ridge — past the Tri-Cities NOW dead-line — on the heels of a tough 8-5 loss to the first place Victoria Shamrocks on Saturday.

Coquitlam trailed much of the night, but made a valiant rally with two goals from Brandon Goodwin and a single by rookie Matt Delmonico in the third. Daryl Veltman finished with five assists, while netminder Adam Shute turned aside 41 shots.

The Adanacs, who sit in fifth place with a 5-6 record, had earlier slapped New Westminster 9-6 at Queen’s Park, on the strength of a three-goal game from team scoring leader Brett Hickey. Ryan Johnson chipped in a pair.

Shute turned aside 44 shots in the win.Coquitlam’s next test comes Saturday, 7 p.m.

when Nanaimo visits the Poirier Sports Centre.

SPORTS SHORTS

PRE-TEENS SHINE IN FIVEAlanna Nobel and Cameron Slaymaker didn’t

just dominate their event, they rocked in virtu-ally five each to cart off gold at the B.C. junior development pentathalon championships in Maple Ridge last month.

The two Coquitlam Cheetahs athletes set the pace, with 10-year-old Nobel taking four golds out of five events — the 60-metre hurdles, long and high jumps, shot put and 600m dash. Slaymaker, 11, scored gold in all five events to finish with 2436 points.

Placing third in the girls-10 competition was Liepa Bajarunas, while 11-year-old Rhianne Eder finished fifth overall. Georgia Hamnett, 12, stood ninth.

Also in the boys 11-year-old division, Kieran Sheriff placed 15th. Nine-year-old Lukas Gaertner came in sixth, while Grahame Eder was 11th, and 12-year-old Liam Espedido fin-ished ninth.

TRIBE SUFFER TOUGH LOSSSome early errors added up to the first loss

in a month for the Tri-City Indians.While pitcher Brandon Jeon allowed just

two earned runs, a couple of miscues gave Richmond a 5-3 edge, ending the Tribe’s six-game winning streak.

Jeon struck out five batters and gave no free passes, while Evan Bannister drove in two runs in the sixth inning as Tri-City mounted a comeback attempt. Picking up two hits apiece were Thomas Cornell and Brendan Sinclaire.

With a dozen games left in the regular season, Tri-City sits third at 18-6, three games back of first-place Chilliwack. They host Ridge Meadows tonight (Wednesday), 7 p.m. at Heritage Woods.

The regular season is in the books and now the real fun begins.The Coquitlam junior Adanacs will put a second-place finish behind

them and focus on their next opponent — the third-place Victoria Shamrocks in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League’s best-of-five semi-final.

Coquitlam won two of three regular season games against the ‘Rocksby a combined 29-10 score. In their first encounter in early May, the twoteams battled to a 9-9 standoff.

With a 17-3-1 record, the Adanacs are aiming to unleash a smother-ing defence and ramped up attack against 12-8-1 Victoria.

The series starts Saturday, 2:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre,with Game 2 Sunday in Victoria. The two teams will meet up on July 19, 2:30 p.m. in Coquitlam for Game 3.
