WEDNESDAYMay 23, 2012
A proposed resolution to bar resi-dents living on Indian reserves fromvoting in civic elections has drawn theire of the local First Nation band.
Representatives of the KwikwetlemFirst Nation say they are against anyidea of blocking reserve residentsfrom voting in a municipal election,and warn any such measure will hurtthe progress made in the relations
between the two governments.“In today’s day and age, we all must
rely on one another for certain servi-ces, whether it be on or off reserve,”said Kwikwetlem Coun. Fred Hulbert,adding the band has a good relation-ship with its Tri-Cities neighbours.
“I can’t honestly see where this iscoming from.”
He said he hopes municipal polit-icians will back away from any chan-ges to voting rights on reserves.
Recently, members of the LowerMainland Local Government
Association (LMLGA) voted in favourof the resolution, which followed asimilar Metro Vancouver resolution.
The board voted to ask the provinceto address as “a priority” a discussionpaper by the Lower Mainland AdvisoryCommittee last year, which suggeststhat reserves, which are federal lands,be excluded from municipal bound-aries.
In 2006, there were 22 reserveswithin Metro Vancouver with morethan 7,000 native and non-nativeresidents, according to the discus-
sion paper. That number could growsubstantially if planned residentialdevelopments on reserves are built.
The LMLGA resolution will likelyget further debate amongst the Unionof B.C. Municipalities, while the issuewill also be discussed by the Union ofB.C. Indian Chiefs.
Hulbert estimated there are 45residents living on the Kwikwetlemreserve, and a total band member listof 74.
Hulbert said the band has no

week’s provincialchampionships.

SAVED FROM THE WRECKING BALL: The province has agreed to give Centennial House back to the City of Port Moody, which announced Tuesdayit plans to move the 1910 building to make way for construction of the Evergreen Line. The Edwardian-style house will be moved this summer to126 Kyle St. from its current location at 2714 Clarke St. The city plans to consult with the public and arts groups to determine the future use ofthe building, which was formerly known as the Appleyard Residence. The house is also valued for its association with Frederick Appleyard, wholater acquired it. Appleyard worked in the lumber industry and served on Port Moody city council in 1917.
Resolution would prevent people living on Indian reserves from voting in civic elections

What started as a mistake 25 years agoended with a triumphant return forone of the nation’s most recognizable
heroes.With the support of hundreds of Tri-Cities
students, Rick Hansen conquered the ThermalDrive hill in Coquitlam Friday, a quarter cen-tury after completing the task for the first timeon his Man in Motion Tour in 1987.
Hansen, who considered the hill to bethe biggest challenge on that tour, admittedThermal was chosen by mistake all those yearsago.
Five months prior to the first climb, crewmembers on the tour suggested he change hisroute away from Thermal Hill because theydidn’t realize it was so steep.
“When they told me about it, I said ‘Youknow, the whole tour has been incrediblychallenging. What better way to culminate agraphic example of how challenging it’s beenthen to go up that hill and give it our bestshot?’” Hansen said.
The hill has remained a symbol and focalpoint of that challenge ever since.
Starting in Newfoundland last August, theRick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay was set towrap up in Vancouver yesterday.
However, the most anticipated portion of therelay was Hansen’s second crack at Thermalhill.
Following the successful climb, Hansenwas thrilled his original journey was stillinspiring people, especially those who
would only know of it through pictures andvideo.
They were Coquitlam students like CiennaWittur.
The Grade 8 Coquitlam Middle Schoolstudent was the final medal bearer on theThermal hill climb.
Wittur was chosen as a medal bearer by herfellow students for shaving her head and rais-ing money for cancer.
She said it was an inspiration to see Hansenwheel up Thermal Drive.
“Even if you have a disability, you can do
whatever you want; it can’t slow you down,”Wittur told The NOW, adding the day will beetched in her memory for many years to come.
But beyond inspiring a nation, Hansen’sgoal has been to raise money for spinal-cordresearch.
He said he believes in 25 years, doctors willbe able to prevent spinal-cord damage to newlyinjured people, prevent permanent paralysisand allow people to walk again.
As for the Thermal hill, the Man in Motionalso hinted he might give it another try tomark the 50th anniversary of his original relay.
“If I’m around in 25 years, I’ll be here,”Hansen said.
“I may not be doing it with my arms, but I’llfind a way to get up this hill.”

Adults looking to upgradetheir high school educationthrough School District 43will soon have to pay for someof the courses they take, butthe district is hoping thelist of exempt classes will beexpanded.
The school board intendsto lobby the Ministry of
Education to add four morecourses to a list the provinceintends to continue funding.
The request came at lastweek’s school board meeting,after officials in charge of thecontinuing education pro-gram in the district asked theboard to step in on its behalf.
The province recentlyannounced it would no longercover tuition fees for gradu-ated adults, except in a hand-ful of courses.
The courses still coveredinclude chemistry 11, physics11, chemistry 12, biology 12English 12, math 12 and allliteracy foundation courses.
They are the most popu-lar courses for enrolment.However the district wantsthe province to add Englishand communications 11 andphysics and chemistry 12 tothe list.
“We respectfully disagreedwith the ministry on those
particular course selections,”said district continuing educa-tion principal Sarah Husband.
Changes are also plannedto the formula by which theprovince hands out funds tothe district for adult courses.
In the coming schoolyear, the district will get 75per cent of the funding upfront and the rest will comedepending on student comple-tion.
For the 2013-14 school
year, the formula changes to a50/50 split.
The district is also lookingfor clarification around thedefinition of completion, andasking that the province relyon current practices.
It was noted that themajority of graduated adultsregistered in School District43 courses wouldn’t noticethe change, as the district hasbeen promoting the coursesstill covered by the province.

Hazmat scare shuts down bus loop
It’s still probably not agood idea to lick the floor of atransit bus, but the white sub-stance discovered on one lastFriday that shut down a por-tion of the Coquitlam Centrebus loop for hours turned outto be nothing hazardous.
Emergency crew spenthours at a cordoned-off sec-tion of the bus loop, after abus driver and two passengersreported feeling ill and awhite substance was discov-ered on the bus.
“There is nothing crim-inal and nothing hazardous.I guess the bus just neededsome cleaning,” said RCMPCpl. Jamie Chung.
According to TransLinkofficials, the incident beganbefore noon, when two pas-sengers on a westbound buson St. Johns Street nearMoray Street asked to leavebecause they felt sick.
A short time later, the busdriver also reported feelingsick and asked to be relieved.
He returned the bus to theloop, then suffered a minorseizure. At the same time,a passenger noticed a whitesubstance by the rear wheel-well of the bus.
The discovery promptedemergency crews, includinga hazardous materials team,to respond to the scene, whilea portion of the bus loop wasclosed for hours as policeinvestigated.
“With something like this,you’ve always got to run onthe side of caution,” saidTransLink spokesman DrewSnider.
Transit officials were notsure how many passengerswere on the bus, but policenoted they were all quaran-tined as a precaution.
By 5 p.m., the scene wascleared and the loop wasreopened.

Robinson voted against resolutionimmediate plans for anymajor development, notingany ideas are still in the earlystages.
And the band’s position hasallies within the Tri-Cities.
Coquitlam Coun. SelinaRobinson voted against theLMLGA resolution.
She said she understandsthe problems facing somemunicipalities, but suggestedthe resolution came across as“a bit bullying.”
“I’m not saying it’s not aproblem. I think it is a prob-lem; I just think we need tothink very carefully about how
we address it,” Robinson toldThe NOW.
She said in the spirit ofprogress, the resolution might
not get what cities ultimatelywant.
Port Coquitlam Mayor GregMoore argued that, from aMetro Vancouver perspective,stakeholders should look atthe issue before it becomesa bigger concern in certainareas.
However, he said any ban,if approved, would have littleimpact on the city’s localelection, noting there are lessthan 20 people currently liv-ing on the Coquitlam IndianReserve No. 2 (which is inPoCo). There is also a ReserveNo. 1, located in Coquitlam.
Moore also characterizedthe relationship between PoCo
and the Kwikwetlem as being“proactive and neighbourly.”
He acknowledged that whenit comes to the band’s plansfor future development, thecity has no say over land use
approvals, but the two govern-ments would need to worktogether on service agree-ments.

Police search for missing man
Coquitlam Mounties have issued a Canada-wide warrantafter a resident at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in PortCoquitlam didn’t return from a day pass.
Police issued the warrant for David Fomradas, 34, after hefailed to return on Sunday, May 20.
He is described as Caucasian with a fair complexion, standingfive feet, 11-inches tall and weighing 161 pounds.
He has a medium build, with brown hair and blue eyes.He was last seen wearing a blue jacket, black shirt, grey pants
and brown shoes.Mounties note Fomradas has the potential for violence when
not on his medication.Anyone who sees Fomradas is being asked not approach him,
but instead to call 911 or the nearest police department.Fomradas is the man behind a bizarre carjacking in 2009
involving Vancouver actress Carly Pope.He was arrested after trying to steal the black BMW belong-
ing to Pope’s elder brother, Kris, as the siblings sat in traffic ata downtown intersection.
Witnesses reported seeing an erratic Fomradas pound onthe hood of the car and then jump into the driver’s seat as KrisPope got out to confront him.
Fomradas reversed into oncoming traffic, hitting several cars,and eventually crashed into the CBC building in downtownVancouver.
He was later charged with six criminal counts, includingtheft, aggravated assault, dangerous driving, assault with aweapon and mischief by damaging property.
During a hearing at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in PortCoquitlam in 2010, the review board was told Fomradas hasbeen responsive to anti-psychotic medication and has been tak-ing it since the incident.
The board concluded he remained a threat to the communitybut ordered him released under several conditions, includingthat he continue to take his medication, have no contact withthe victims and remain under the general supervision of psychi-atric services.

Shopping area planned
Port Coquitlam council lentits cautious support recentlyto a rezoning applicationthat would pave the way for alarge-scale shopping districtalong Lougheed Highway.
Council voted 5-1 to passthe first two readings of azoning amendment to changethe land-use designation at1991 Lougheed Hwy. fromhighway commercial to large-format commercial. The mat-ter will now be the subject ofa public hearing to be held ata later date.
The potential shift, whichwas opposed by Coun. DeanWashington, would allow forthe construction of a largeshopping complex proposedby Platform Properties. Themall would be home to vari-ous retailers and up to 10,000square feet of health-servicesuses if approved.
And while council did voteto move the application alongto a public hearing, there wassome consternation aroundthe table about access andegress to the site and how themall would impact other busi-ness in the area.
“I believe this could end upas a no-win situation for allinvolved,” said Washington.
The application was previ-
ously brought before thecity’s smart growth commit-tee, which flagged concernsaround traffic volumes to theeast of the proposed develop-ment on Oxford Street and anadjacent laneway.
A pair of consultants’studies were undertakento address both the traffic
concerns and the economicimpact of the proposal. Oneof the recommendations toget around those traffic fearswas to create a “right in, rightout” access along Lougheed.
The economic consultantstudy, on the other hand, sug-gested that the city’s north-side and downtown areas areboth vibrant and healthy, andcan absorb another large-scaleretail development.
“The proposed zoningamendment that would allowup to 10,000 square feet ofadditional ancillary floorarea will have little or noimpact on the downtown ornorthside, but will have alarge impact to the economicviability of the development,”wrote Peter Hume of HumeConsulting Corp.
Coun. Mike Forrest sug-gested it was “hard to believe”some of the outcomes deliv-ered by the consultants’ stud-ies.
“I really have difficulty withthe statements made by theconsultant. It’s almost as ifthe consultant had a foregoneconclusion that he was afterand he found a way to deliv-er,” Forrest said. “I have someproblems with the downtowneffect and the northside effect,for that matter.”
Coun. Brad West was absentfrom the May 14 meeting.

the seeds to schools along with other seeds tosee how well they grow. They then compilethis information in the hopes of helping themestablish food on Mars.

One of the more puzzling, if not downrightsuspicious, moves by the B.C. Liberal govern-ment is its out-of-the-blue insistence on pri-
vatizing the Liquor Distribution Branch.It has led to speculation that other major chan-
ges to the province’s liquor policies are on the way— potentially paving the way for raising the price ofbooze and perhaps closing some government liquorstores as well.
Whenever a government appears tobe in its dying days and its politiciansstart tinkering with liquor policies, mypolitical antennae start quivering. Mixingpolitics and liquor can be a potent recipefor disaster (remember the Knight Streetpub scandal?)
The government has yet to provideany business case for privatizing theLDB. The NDP’s critic, Shane Simpson,has asked repeatedly in the legislaturefor any details supporting the sale, buthas been rebuffed by the minister responsible, RichColeman, at every turn.
The privatization scheme appears rushed, withoutmuch thought given to the ramifications. Colemanhas admitted the decision to sell the branch was onlymade a week before the February budget was tabled.
The original sell-off date was sometime in 2015,but that has suddenly been moved up to March, 2013(just before the scheduled provincial election).
And last week the branch’s general managertold industry reps there is no time for consultationbecause of the “tight timelines” involved. Why theurgency? The government won’t say.
I’ve talked to private industry representatives, whofear their distribution costs will increase if a privatecompany begins running things instead of the gov-ernment. Naturally, those increased costs will bepassed on to consumers.
The industry looks at what’s going on in Albertawhen it comes to liquor policies, and shudders. Aprominent brewer in this province — Matt Phillips,
founder of Phillips Brewing Co. — sayshe pays almost twice as high a distribu-tion cost for a case of beer in Albertacompared to his cost in B.C. ($1.53 ver-sus just 78 cents in B.C.).
Further clouding the issue is the pub-lic impression that one particular com-pany may be the front-runner in the bid-ding process for the LDB. The company,Exel Logistics, employs two prominentB.C. Liberal insiders as its lobbyists.
One of those lobbyists, PatrickKinsella, is a former campaign chair
for the B.C. Liberal party and was a key advisoron Premier Christy Clark’s leadership campaign.A leaked 2009 internal corporate memo from Exel(obtained by Business in Vancouver) shows the com-pany thinks it could “influence the writing of therequest for proposal” in the bidding process by usingits “strong relationship” with Coleman.
Coleman has heatedly denied any favoritism inthe bidding process but, as they say in politics, the“optics” here are brutal. If the B.C. Liberals haddetected the same situation occurring under theNDP government of the 1990s, they would have goneballistic.
Of further concern is the fact that Exel also oper-ates the distribution system in Alberta. Industry rep-resentatives in this province characterize Alberta’ssystem as a chaotic mess that is driving up prices.
The bidding process also proposes that govern-ment liquor stores have stand-alone profit and lossreporting, instead of the current collective reporting.
Since some stores are considerably more profit-able than others, this could potentially lead to theclosure of some stores and the opening of moreprivate stores (which, of course, pay their employeesless than what can be earned in government stores).
There are rumors in the industry that otherchanges are coming as well. The old issue of “duallicences” has resurfaced (this would allow pretty wellany restaurant to turn into a bar at, say, 9 p.m.) andwith it comes worries about a proliferation of liquoroutlets, which not only greatly expands the avail-ability of alcohol, but also makes sustaining a decentbusiness in that industry that much more difficult.
Add it all up, and you have an industry that affectsa huge number of British Columbians potentiallygetting hammered by major changes — and all withno consultation or explanation forthcoming. Throwin the presence of two key Liberal insiders involvedin a potential multi-million dollar deal with hugepolitical ramifications, and alarm bells start to go off.
The NDP’s Simpson says he smells a rat here.He may well be right. Keep a close eye on this one,folks. Things may get ugly before it’s all over.
Politics plus booze could lead to disaster
The media and pollsters seem to have made uptheir minds that NDP leader Adrian Dix is going tobe B.C.’s next premier come May of next year.
Of course, the media and pollsters also made uptheir minds that the Wild Rose Party inAlberta was going to sweep to victory lastmonth, and they were wildly wrong onthat one. Some would even say colossallywrong.
But if the B.C. media truly do believethat Adrian Dix will be our next premier,then don’t they have a duty to subjectDix to some sort of scrutiny? That’s their job, isn’tit?
So far, Adrian Dix has been given a free ride by themedia (and at least one free ride by TransLink). Anddespite the fact that Mr. Dix has been a 20-year NDP
political operative, I sincerely doubt there is one per-son out of a thousand in this province who actuallyknows anything about him.
As Adrian Dix’s 20-year political record clearlyshows, he is anything but a politicalmoderate.
I would therefore challenge the B.C.media to start acting responsibly bydoing their job and subjecting NDPleader Adrian Dix to some long overduemedia scrutiny.
Mike TaylorPort Moody
To blame funding cuts for the high-pro-file poaching of an 800-year-old Westernred cedar this month is something of a
stretch, but the incident nonetheless servesneatly as a metaphor for our government’sapproach to the environment.
Critics of the B.C. Liberals have said thethree-metre-wide giant was stolen fromCarmanah-Walbran Provincial Park becausethe rangers who should have protected itwere dismissed.
The reality is that in a wilderness the sizeof British Columbia’s, no number of parkstaff could defend every tree from deter-mined poachers; however, the event still sayssomething important about what happenswhen those who would damage our environ-ment can act with impunity.
In lean times, government environmentalprograms are among the first things to go.They’re an easy mark, politically, because theconsequences aren’t immediately obvious.
This is happening at the provincial and fed-eral levels right now, with institutions thatmonitor water, air, fisheries and other vitalaspects of our environment facing severe cut-backs, even while flashier but less importantprograms — jets and new prisons come tomind — are preserved.
The results can be severe, ranging from thecollapse of fisheries to the wholesale destruc-tion of vital habitat but, as with the poach-ing of a cedar, the problems won’t come topublic attention until it’s too late.
Our leaders have to start treating environ-mental regulation and enforcement with thesame gravity they view higher-profile pro-grams, or one day we will wake up to findwe have lost a great deal more than a tree.

NDP and supportersmissed the boat on HST
Re: “HST like a bad joke that won’t goaway,” editorial, Wednesday, May 16.
Unfortunately, the bad joke was played onall British Columbians when the HST wasrejected. It is a classic case of politics trumpingsound taxation policy.
With the reintroduction of the PST andGST, we will go back to a double book-keep-ing tax system with all of the confusing rulesand exemptions. Individuals on low incomewill lose their HST rebates. We will have givenup on a tax model that is supported by mosteconomists.
It is unfortunate that the opponents of theHST could not see beyond their hatred ofGordon Campbell and the Liberal government.As I recall, the B.C. government was commit-ted to reducing the HST to 10 per cent.
Before too long, that option may look likea bargain. In the meantime, the NDP willlikely assume power just as revenues begin todecline, partly due to a new tax structure andconfusing rules.
The investment community will pull backand job creation will become problematic. Atthe same time, the NDP will have little or noappetite for controlling government spending.With billions needed to meet the collectivedemands of teachers, nurses and civil servants,not to mention unsustainable levels of health-care spending and public sector pensions,where will government revenue be found?
At least the HST was a reasonable source ofincome for financing of government serviceswhile at the same time providing a tax environ-ment that encouraged business investment.The way things are going, within three yearswe are likely to see annual deficits of four tofive billion dollars, a loss of our provincial AAA
credit rating and an overall tax regime that willbe extracting much more from all of us thanwas ever contemplated under the HST.
I certainly hope that in the future the NDPbrain trust and their supporters will displaymore insight into economic policy than theyhave demonstrated in their understanding andtreatment of the HST issue.

Enough is enough, HarperRe: “Change raises fisheries fears,”
Wednesday, May 18.It’s bad enough that Prime
Minister Stephen Harper’s small-majority government is makingdeep cuts to social programs,allegedly to balance the budgetwhile still subsidizing and grantingrecord-breaking-high corporate taxcuts to those entities needing the monies theleast.
Even worse, the Tories plan on weakening,amongst other ecological matters, Canada’shabitat protection laws in regards to the feder-al Fisheries Act to empower corporate mineral-extraction interests, not to mention ignoring,muzzling, deeply cutting funding for and/oroutright eliminating environmental safeguardagencies (e.g., Environment Canada).
But to salt the wound, the small majorityallowing them borderline dictatorship statusaids them in potentially suppressing unfavour-able though legitimate public concerns andserious questions in regards to the Tories ram-ming omnibus legislation through Parliament,often with virtually no Opposition scrutiny atall.
Enough’s enough!Frank G. Sterle, Jr.

Acentennial is one reason to celebrate. The return of a sig-nature show is another.
Port Moody’s Wearable Arts Awards will be back in theCity of the Arts in 2013 after a steep drop in entries forced thecancellation of this year’s event.
“We’re thrilled, obviously, to beplanning again for 2013,” said JaneMatthews, executive director of thePort Moody Arts Centre Society. “Itwas a sad day when we realized whenwe didn’t have enough entries for2012, but with an early advance call forentries going out, we anticipate thatwe’ll be able to reach previous levels ofinvolvement, if not surpass them.”
Slated for mid February of nextyear, the 2013 edition of the uniqueart-meets-performance festival willcoincide with Port Moody’s 100-yearanniversary. Because of that coincidence in timing, the 2013version of the show will have a decidedly celebratory focus.
The usual award categories will be highlighted — headdress,brassiere, complete outfit — but new awards specific to the cen-
tennial celebrations will also be in vogue.The material of the year award will feature works in silk to
highlight the themes revelry and celebration, while the coloursof the year will be gold and silver.
“In the last few years, we have had specific awards and awardcategories for use of colour and use of material, so those arethe colours and material we’ve highlighted for 2013,” Matthewssaid. “The reason for those is because of the city’s centennial,
so we felt silver and gold adds thatcelebratory colour. It could be moreof a historical reference to silver andgold, or however an artists wants tointerpret that.”
The other traditional, go-to awardsinclude Second Life, Student, Best inShow and People’s Choice, while thefinal centennial-specific award willbring into focus the concept of 100.
“We’re thinking somebody could beas specific as using 100 of somethingin their garment,” Matthews said. “Itcould be more of a conceptual refer-ence to 100 or a centennial reference
or something like that. However they interpret that, we’re opento it.”
This year’s cancellation was the first time in more than a dec-ade that the popular awards show was deemed a no go. When
the news got out earlier this year, Matthews attributed the can-cellation to a drop in international submissions brought on byhigh shipping rates.
“I think it was a broader realization of the impact of theeconomy and that certainly was the message that I think peoplereceived. It was just a real shame, Matthews said.
Despite the cancellation, those artists who applied for the2012 event will be welcomed and encouraged to re-apply fornext year’s show.
“With all entries, we have to double check that they meet ourbasic criteria. So we will be looking at them again with the newentries. But we certainly welcome and encourage those artiststo re-submit,” Matthews said.
On top of securing new artists, Matthews is confident that theshow can attract more sponsorship dollars as well.
“Wearable Arts will be one of many key celebrations through-out the city, and this will be part of a broader list of centen-nial events as well, so we are hoping to use the centennial as alaunch to create some additional opportunities for sponsors tocome on board.”
About $6,000 in prize money will be awarded for the threeform-based categories and the seven special awards during nextyear’s show, which is scheduled for Feb. 16 and Feb. 17 at thePort Moody City Hall Galleria.
The call for entries is currently open, and a deadline has beenset for Nov. 15 at 5 p.m. For more info on the call for entries,log on to www.wearableartawards.com or www.pomoarts.ca.

Westcoast SeniorsHow to have a‘colonversation’
G E T T I N G S C R E E N E D
A“colonversation” — a conversation about getting screened for colon cancer — cansave your life. It can also save the life of a family member or a friend.
Colon cancer (also known as colorectal or bowel cancer) is the second leading cause ofcancer deaths in Canada. In 2011, an estimated 22,200 Canadians were diagnosed and8,900 died from the disease. But when caught early, it’s one of the most highly treatableforms of cancer.When cancer starts to grow in the colon, people display no symptoms. Infact, it can grow for many years before any symptoms appear. Getting screened prior tohaving symptoms is critical to improving survival rates and colonversations are the key toprotecting yourself and the people you love.
Talk to your doctorIf you are aged 50 or over, it is important to talk to your health-care provider about gettingchecked for colon cancer.
Talk to your familyTalk to your family and make sure the people you care about who are aged 50 and overknow they should get checked for colon cancer.
Talk to your friendsLet your friends know how important it is to get screened regularly. Encouraging them tomake an appointment with their doctor to discuss colon cancer screening could save a life.
Visit www.colonversation.ca to learn more about how to get checked. If all Canadians 50and older were screened for colon cancer before signs and symptoms appeared about1,500 lives would be saved every year.NC

Hospital warns parents about risk of fallsAs the weather warms up,
so does the potentialof young children fall-
ing out of windows withoutproper security locks, BCChildren’s Hospital and theBC Ambulance Service arewarning.
Already, three toddlers havefallen through open windowssince April.
BC Children’s Hospital andthe BC Ambulance Service areasking parents to make suretheir homes are secure.
“Falls from windows seemto be increasing in frequency.Last year we saw about 10seriously injured children,compared to three to five peryear in past years,” says Dr.Ash Singhal, medical direc-tor of the hospital’s traumaprogram.
“Falls are more common inyounger children between oneand six years of age, and seemto occur more frequently inthe spring and summer. Manyof the injuries can be quitesevere, requiring surgery andcausing potentially long-termeffects for the child.”
Falls from windows oftenoccur at a child’s home, mostcommonly in the afternoonwhen windows are open ornot fully secured as the familyis home.
Paramedics see the criticalinjuries that result from fallsfrom windows, from brokenbones to facial and headtrauma.
“The best advice we canprovide to caregivers is toensure you have the rightsafety locks on windows anddoors, especially if you haveyoung children,” says BCAmbulance Service super-intendent Julien Ponsioen.
While it might be tempt-ing to leave a window opena crack to let in some freshair as the weather warms up,remember that young chil-dren are innately curious andnatural climbers and may notunderstand the risk of theiractions. They can be strongenough to widen an unlockedwindow enough to fall outof it.
Here are some safety tips toprevent falls from windows:
• Window screens will notprevent children from fallingthrough. Don’t underestimatea child’s mobility; childrenbegin climbing before theycan walk.
• Move household furnitureaway from windows to dis-courage children from climb-ing to peer out.
• Install window guards on
windows above the groundlevel. These act like a gatein front of the window. Orfasten the windows so theycannot be opened more than10 centimetres (four inches).
Children can fit throughspaces as small as 12 centi-metres (five inches) wide. Ineither case, ensure there is asafe-release option in case of ahouse fire.
• Young children are avidlearners — they may be ableto unlock doors and windowsto gain access to dangerousareas without you realizing it.Make sure to have the proper
window and door locks inplace.
• Don’t leave childrenunattended on balconies ordecks. Move furniture orplanters away from the edges
as kids can climb up and over.• Talk to your children
about the dangers of openingand playing near windows,particularly on upper floors ofthe home.

The goal of the program is to enablepeople who have physical limitations tolive at home longer. People’s physical needschange over time – sometimes, a smallimprovement to a home can make thedifference between being able to liveindependently or not.
Types of eligible projects include:1 A=95!=G?J G9 I=??B='J &! JH=G!B='J01 E=<%J "&! $=J$ &" =77$JJ01 .=J'/H&/!$=7I B&!C &! JH&!=K$ =!$=Jin the kitchen,

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

Health
Is the pace of your day causing you stress?There are infinite sources of stress in our
days: the competing demands of home,work or school; conflicts with others; ill-
ness, injury and addiction; financial stress anddebt; suffering from the past, worries about thefuture; mean bosses, bullies andangry customers.
But we often neglect one sourceover which we have some control— the pace of the day.
Emergency physicians andfamily doctors are no strangersto demanding, high-intensityworkdays. In a typical shift, theymay not have time to eat or evengo to the washroom. Fortunatelyfor their patients, they do take thetime to wash their hands.
The constant pressure to keep up with anever-ending queue can create sufficient men-tal and physical stress to affect the quality ofour work.
Employees in downsized offices, taking onthe workload of laid-off colleagues, can faceburnout from the ever-growing mountains ontheir desktops.
And let’s not forget the mothers and fath-ers of young children. Their only downtime iswhen their kids are finally sleeping (hopefullythroughout the night).
There is a tempo and rhythm at which wefunction best. We need just enough challengeto keep growing, moving forward and experi-encing the satisfaction of accomplishment.
Without such positive stress, we would be stag-nant, bored and unproductive.
But too rapid a pace — when the demands ofwork exceed our capacity to meet them — canlead to physical stress, anxiety, burn out and
depression. And if we are actingfaster than we can think, we arebound to make mistakes. Qualityand productivity suffer. Our senseof wellbeing suffers.
How can you tell if the pace ofthe day is right for you?
If you’re bored, you could usemore challenge, and you need topick up the pace. If you’re men-tally and physically exhausted atthe end of the day, your pace andworkload are overwhelming.
If you lose your focus or feel restless at dif-ferent points in the day, you may need a break.We can get so accustomed to a fast pace thatwe may never think about slowing down inorder to do things right.
We can run a treadmill for five or more daysof the week and long for our brief weekendsand distant holidays. I think weekends andholidays are great for spending extended timewith the people you love.
Yet we shouldn’t wait that long to findbalance and rest in our lives. To prevent thecumulative effects of unremitting stress, weneed to balance each day. We can’t wait for theweekends.
We need our morning recess, lunch and
mid-afternoon breaks. It doesn’t have to be agame of tetherball or a full-scale walkout. Achange of tasks, a healthy snack, your favouritemusic or a stretching break may suffice.
Our bodies are machines that need fuelthroughout the day. We don’t have big tanksthat we can fill with one big meal. To keep ourbodies and minds running smoothly, we needdaily exercise (at least a good walk) and regularhealthy meals.
Attend to the pace of your thoughts — withthe goal of being fully present in every wakingmoment.
I encourage medical students to be mindfulwith each patient encounter so that we maybe totally focused on the needs of the patientbefore us. I teach them to view hand washing
as a mindful ritual; in this transition betweenpatients, we ensure that we have been com-plete and thorough with the patient we havejust seen and fully awake for the next.
This makes us more empathic listeners, bet-ter diagnosticians and safer health-care provid-ers.
How is the pace of your day? How presentare you in the moments that make up yourlife?

A restorative justice approach to bullyingAvice-principal takes two
boys aside. One has beenbullying the other. The
boys are asked to shake andmake up. The bully quicklysmiles and offers his hand.The administrator is pleased.The victim will not play thegame. He knows it’s all asham and will change nothingin his situation. The bullyingwill continue. And, in thiscase, the bullying he receivedis augmented by the bullyingbehaviour of the vice-princi-pal. The bully is allowed togo on his way but the victimis lectured about how dis-appointed the principal is inhis behaviour.
This is a scene from thedocumentary film Bully. Iwas alternately frustrated andangry at the inability of theadministration in this filmto handle bullying. We tellchildren to talk to a trustedadult — a parent, teacher orprincipal — when they arebeing bullied. But the adultswere at a loss.
I have learned about onemodel for handling bully-ing in the schools, which isrestorative justice, a philoso-phy based on a set of valuesand principles and not oneparticular model or program.
Practitioners and educatorsfind it helpful to refer backto a set of criteria in order togauge whether the way theyare addressing the conflict isin line with the philosophicalbasis of restorative processes.
You are working towardrestorative discipline inschools when you:
• Focus primarily on rela-tionships and secondarily onrules;
• Give voiceto the person(s)harmed;
• Engage incollaborative prob-lem-solving;
• Enhanceresponsibility;
• Empowerchange andgrowth;
• Model peace-ful communication skills, and
• Plan for restoration.The beauty of this model is
it acknowledges that differentkids and different situationsrequire different solutionsbut there are basic values andbeliefs underlying the process.It is personalized, unlike zerotolerance, which can easily betoo stringent for the situationand doesn’t give the bully orthe bullied an opportunity tofix the problem.
In her book, The Bully, theBullied and the Bystander,Barbara Coloroso writes aboutthe three Rs in handling theissue. They are repentance,which will come throughoutthe process, resolution, inwhich the bully figures out away to keep the incident fromrecurring, and reconcilia-tion, which is the process ofhealing with the person whowas harmed. This approach is
almost identical to the processof restorative justice.
So what happens? It startswith a respectful conversation.
A restorative discussion isa conversationbetween an adultand a student,when the studenthas caused someharm.
The intentionis to:
• Enable thestudent to under-stand what hap-pened;
• Increasetheir understanding about theeffect it had on others;
• Discuss what they need todo to put things right;
• Support them to deter-mine what strategies theycould adopt to avoid a similarincident happening in thefuture, and
• Hear the needs of the per-son harmed.
According to the materialI received about restorativejustice, it is the student whocomes up with the answers,supported by the adult. Thisconversation is contrastedwith punishment, the inten-tion of which is more to dowith authority, control anddeterrence, and normallyinvolves the adult telling thestudent what they have donewrong as well as what’s goingto happen as a result.
The focus is for the adult tolisten first and ask questions
next. The challenge is to askopen-ended questions thatsupport conversation and tolisten with empathy. No onehas all the answers but whenadults listen with empathy,often the kids themselves willwork out a solution. Theseconversations are informaland happen at any time inresponse to the everyday low-level incidents in school. Thefollowing is an example of thetypes of questions that couldbe asked:
• What has happened?• What were you thinking
and feeling at the time?• What have you been
thinking and feeling since?• Who else has been affect-
ed? How?• What needs to happen to
put things right?• What could you do differ-
ently in the future?In situations where there
has been harm caused toanother student, the adult willalso want to have a restorativediscussion with that studentto hear how the incidentimpacted them and determinewhat may help repair theharm.
A restorative discussionmay also be used in prepara-tion for a mini-conference.
The following is an exampleof the types of questions thatcould be asked to the personwho was harmed:
• What has happened?• How did this make you
feel?
• What impact has this hadon you?
• What needs to happen toput things right?
For this to work it is essen-tial that the school welcomesthe process.
According to Colorosothe school must have anenvironment characterized bywarmth, positive interest andinvolvement from adults, firmlimits, consistent applica-tion of disciplinary sanctionswhen limits are violated andan authoritative rather than
authoritarian adult-childmodel. We need answers tobullying. Kids are being hurt.Restorative justice is an exist-ing model we can use in ourschools to protect our kidsand involve all of them in aprocess that is caring andnurturing.
Talk to your administra-tors, open discussion at yourparent committee meeting.You can make this happento provide your children andall children a safe and caringenvironment.

Adanacs victorious in WLA season opener
It wasn’t so much a case of who was there, but rather whowasn’t.
The Coquitlam Adanacs opened up their Western LacrosseAssociation campaign Sunday with a 7-5 win over the MapleRidge Burrards in a game set against a backdrop of new faces,old faces and some faces that haven’t even shown up yet.
The Coquitlam crew got it done on the weight of a balancedattack up front and a lethal powerplay, one that went four for 11in man-up situations.
Ryan Johnson led the way for the Adanacs with a goal andfour assists, Daryl Veltman tallied once and set up three othersand Dane Dobbie notched two goals and a helper. NetminderNick Rose turned away 32 of the 37 shots he faced.
“The best thing I take away from that game is the fact thatwe battled, we tracked down loose balls and how we dealt withfaceoff situations,” said Adanacs coach Bob Salt. “We had someyoung people in the lineup who got lost on the defensive end,but that’s understandable. It’s a big step for some guys.”
Sunday’s season-opener was littered with penalties, with thetwo teams combining for 61 penalty minutes spread over 25 dif-ferent infractions.
“Not to knock the refereeing, because that’s a hard game tocall, but we have to figure out what they’re going to call,” Salt
said. “But if people are going to take penalties against us, wehave to make them pay.”
And while a Game 1 win may not seem like a big deal in thebig picture, don’t tell that to the Adanacs’ brass.
“These games early on are so important because when youcome away with wins at this point, it makes it so you’re notbehind the gun when it’s late in the season. At that point, youmust win,” said Adanacs general manager Randy Delmonico.
Whether it was because of work, injuries, school or othercommitments, the Adanacs were without a handful of regularson Sunday: Mike Kilby, Jon Harnett, Kevin Olson and DamonEdwards. On top of those missing faces, the Adanacs were alsowithout last year’s top scorer, Cory Conway, who was traded tothe Nanaimo Timbermen Friday.
As part of the Conway deal, Coquitlam will receive theTimbermen’s second-round draft pick in the 2013 draft, and theIsland team’s first-round pick in 2014.
Conway, 24, had finished second overall in WLA regular sea-son scoring for the past two seasons. To help offset that loss, theAdanacs signed Calgary Roughnecks captain Andrew McBride,who’s expected to be in the Coquitlam lineup at the end of June.
“He’s going to be a big component of the team moving for-ward,” Delmonico said of his team’s newest acquisition.
The Adanacs’ home opener goes Saturday, May 26 at 7 p.m.• On the junior side of the ledger, the Coquitlam Adanacs
continue to win. And not only are the A’s winning, but they’redoing it in commanding fashion.
The 6-0 Adanacs poured in 43 goals over the course of threewins last week, as the reigning league champs downed Burnabyby scores of 15-10 and 14-3. They also fit in a 14-4 shellackingof Langley in there as well.
When the dust settled, Matthew Dinsdale had done his part toseparate himself from the rest of the pack in the league scoringrace, as the Coquitlam native put up 18 points in three gamesto move 10 points ahead of Victoria’s Brody Eastwood.
Last Wednesday’s 15-10 triumph over the Lakers saw ReidReinholdt explode for eight points (four goals and four helpers),while Dinsdale and Vincent Ricci both had six-point evenings.
Thursday’s 14-4 win over Langley saw another pair of six-point performances, with Dinsdale notching his 12th point intwo days, while Michael Messenger notched three goals andthree assists.
The Adanacs wrapped up their dominant weekend Sundaywith a 14-3 win over the seventh-place Lakers, a win that sawDinsdale record his third straight six-point outing.
Ricci pocketed eight points, Cole Shafer netted six and MattSymes collected a hat trick.
The PoCo Saints opened up their weekend Friday with a 5-4overtime loss at the hands of Delta Islanders, before reboundingwith a 14-7 win over Nanaimo on Sunday.
Garrett Chan, Coddy Craven and Matt Delmonico put up sixpoints each (two goals, four helpers) in the win, while NashHarrison and Richard Lachlan recorded five points each.
PoCo took on New West Tuesday night after NOW deadlines.

Sports
Having locked up their spots in the B.C.sone day earlier, Thursday’s provincial seed-ing contest between the Dr. Charles Best BlueDevils and Centennial Centaurs was moreabout local bragging rights than anything else.
After the final whistle sounded, the all-Coquitlam contest saw Centennial’s seniorgirls soccer side leave the pitch with a 2-1 winand the right to gloat — albeit temporarily.
The win gave the Cents the third seed head-ed into next week’s provincial finals in Surrey,while the Blue Devils enter the big dance inthe fourth spot.
Seeds aside, Thursday’s game was also aboutmaintaining — whether it was good habits onthe field, or a clean bill of health off of it.
“It was a battle of attrition, but the emo-tional game was the day before for both of us,”said Centaurs coach Larry Moro.
“Being third seed or fourth seed isn’t a huge,huge difference. The big one was the qualifierand I wasn’t so concerned about whether wefinished third, fourth or fifth as long as wequalified.”
Both clubs locked up their respectivespots in the provincials last Wednesday, withCentennial defeating Seaquam 2-0 thanks tomarkers coming from Aliya Boulanger andOlivia Aguiar. Best upended Lord Tweedsmuir2-0 in their qualifier, which could have leftThursday’s matchup with Centennial as amean-nothing game.
Not so.“It might have been harder playing against
somebody else, but it’s Best,” Moro said. “Allthese kids play together in club soccer, we’rerivals and we’re so close geographically. Thosefactors alone makes it extra special becausethey don’t want to lose to us and we don’t wantto lose to them. It’s a Coquitlam rivalry.”
Centennial’s Tamara Derby got theCoquitlam rivalry rolling Thursday nine min-utes into the contest, as the striker took anOlivia Aguiar feed at the top of the 18-yard boxbefore firing a strike over the Best keeper’shead.
The Blue Devils responded at the 50-minutemark to knot the scoreline at one before thetandem of Aguiar and Derby got the clinchertwo minutes from time. Kerby intercepted aBest clearing attempt before finding Aguiar atthe top of the box, where she found the bottomcorner and game winner.
With that goal came a bit of piece of mindfor Moro and his players.
“That’s why, for me at least, Wednesday’sgame was so pivotal for us — because if youlost Wednesday, you were playing do or die forfifth and sixth the next day,” Moro said.
“I didn’t want to have to go into that last daydoing that. So we put all our eggs into winningon Wednesday.”
Centennial and Best advanced to next week’sprovincials alongside Panorama Ridge, SouthDelta and Seaquam. Once they take to thefield, the Centaurs will be grouped alongsideHandsworth, Claremont and Fleetwood Park.
The Blue Devils, on the other hand, findthemselves in a grouping with Seaquam, SouthKamloops and Carihi.
The provincials run from May 31 to June 2at Surrey’s Newton Athletic Park.
