Three Port Coquitlamresidents treated for smokeinhalation after a large fireThursday have been releasedfrom hospi-tal, but theirhome may bea write-off.

PortCoquitlamFire andEmergencyServiceschief NickDelmonicotold The NOWThursday’sfire at 2633KlassenCrt. causedbetween $250,000 and$300,000 in damages — butall four people inside thehouse have been given a cleanbill of health. Of those fourresidents, one made it outunharmed, while three otherswere taken to hospital fortreatment related to smoke

inhalation.“They’ve all been subse-

quently released so, as far as Iknow, they’re OK,” Delmonicosaid.

Thursday’s fire was firstreported shortly after 11:30p.m. and required upwards of

10 firefight-ers to fightthe blaze. Itwas put outshortly after 2a.m. Friday.

The causeof the firehas not beendetermined,though it’sbelieved tohave origin-ated on themain floor ofthe home.

“Structurally, a lot of thesupport members of the housewere OK,” Delmonico said.“But when the whole flooris gone, there’s a lot of workinvolved in replacing that. Idon’t know if it’s a completewrite-off, but it’s as close asyou can get without being a

write-off.”Delmonico added that the

investigation into the cause ofthe fire has now been turned

over to private insurers, aswell as a restoration company.

Two other homes were alsoaffected, Delmonico said, with

the house immediately to thesouth of the affected prop-erty sustaining about $9,000worth of damage. Residents

at both of the neighbouringproperties have since returnedhome.

Tri-Cities men charged in Canucks riotThe Vancouver Police Department is

recommending charges against two Tri-Cities residents for their alleged partici-pation in the Stanley Cup riot.

They are among 60 people who havebeen identified by the Integrated RiotInvestigation Team, with charges recom-mended to Crown counsel. In total, 163charges have been recommended againstthe 60 alleged rioters, including partici-pation in a riot, mischief, assault, andbreak and enter.

Chief Const. Jim Chu said the riotinvestigation is the largest ever in thecity’s history.

“It’s been daunting, time-consum-ing and exhaustive. But we knew that it

would be. On the morning of June 16,while burned cars were being towed andbroken glass swept up, we made a deci-sion. We decided then that we owed itto the victims of this crime and the out-raged people of our community to do theright thing,” Chu said in a press release.

“That meant we were making a com-mitment to pursue the rioters, and to usenew approaches to identify them and tobring before the courts the full extent ofthe crimes committed by each rioter toensure the most serious sentences.”

Although police have not providednames of the alleged rioters, they haveprovided details on several of the cases.

One such case involves a 52-year-oldPort Coquitlam man who is alleged tohave stolen from a store at 710 GranvilleSt.

“DNA collected at the scene places a

52-year-old man from Port Coquitlaminside a department store in the 700block of Granville Street,” states informa-tion from the Riot 2011 website.

“Investigators were able to view videofootage showing the man allegedly loot-ing the store shortly after 10 p.m. Theman is known to police and has a lengthycriminal record for theft, break and enterand sex offences.”

Charges of participating in a riot andbreak and enter have been recommended.

The alleged rioter from Coquitlam is a20-year-old man, but no other informa-tion was available by NOW deadline.

Of the first 60 alleged rioters, themajority are from Surrey (21 people),Vancouver (12), Burnaby (nine), MapleRidge (four), Abbotsford (two) and Delta

The race is on.Heather Anderson and Mario

Piamonte are both competing tobe voted mayor of Anmore.

Incumbent mayor Anderson won abyelection in May 2010 after formermayor Hal Weinberg resigned. Shealso served 15 years as a village coun-cillor.

Meanwhile, Piamonte has servedone term as a village councillor, hav-ing been elected in November 2008.

As a current councillor, Piamontesaid he thought long and hard beforemaking the decision to run forAnmore’s top spot.

“I figure I’ll be able to do a bet-ter job than our current mayor,”Piamonte said.

“That’s the short and sweet answer… I feel that we need a change at thetop. We need leadership.”

Meanwhile, Anderson hopes to con-tinue serving the village as mayor.

“There are still lots of things to getdone. I’ve been on council before thatfor 15 years, so I’ve always been act-ive and involved in the community,”Anderson said.

“Living in Anmore is really import-ant to me, and how we grow anddevelop is also really important to me.I just wanted to be involved in thatprocess and contribute.”

If elected mayor, Piamonte plans torescind a procedural bylaw for in-cam-era meetings adopted last year.

“We do not have an open council.We do not have open government. We

have too many things hidden. We havetoo many in-camera meetings, some ofwhich are legitimate and some othersthat really aren’t,” Piamonte said.

“We have a change in our proced-ural bylaw to not allow any membersof council other than the mayor to seethe agenda, let alone what the con-tents are, of an in-camera meeting. Sowe have to sit there, digest all of thisand make our decisions without anytime to research, without any time toget advice, without even getting otherlegal advice if you have to have it. Andthat’s patently wrong.”

Anderson, on the other hand, saidsimilar bylaws are in place in othermunicipalities. The current bylawdoesn’t allow audio taping at in-cam-era meetings. As well, confidentialdocuments are only available at thein-camera meetings.

“All it really affected was councilmembers … because no one elseattends those in-camera meetings. It

was purely and strictly to keep ourconfidential information confiden-tial to make sure that it protects theinterest of the village … We didn’tmake this up or reinvent the wheel,”Anderson said.

“It’s done elsewhere as well. I don’treally understand the opposition toit, especially from people who werenot on council because they were notgoing to these meetings or getting thisinformation anyways.”

If re-elected, Anderson will continuewith plans to incorporate a compost-ing program in the village in 2012. Aswell, she will work towards a review ofthe village’s official community plan.

She will also continue liaising withSchool District 43 to incorporate adaycare in the new middle schoolslated to be built in the village. Inaddition, she hopes to see more com-munity recreation opportunities at theproposed middle school.

“I think I’ve developed a really

strong relationship with the schooldistrict, and that’s going to bring somepositive things for Anmore — bothwith the daycare and the middleschool,” Anderson said.

For Piamonte, he would like to seeincreased financial accountability inthe village, as well as increased bylawenforcement. In addition, he wouldlike to address development on thevillage’s steep slopes.

“We only have so much land that wecan still develop on, and a lot of it hap-pens to be on steep slopes … I wouldlike to see particular attention paid tothings like steep-slope developmentand encompassing development areapermits,” Piamonte said.

When he’s not busy at the VillageHall, Piamonte is a member of theSasamat Volunteer Fire Department.He also enjoys spending time withhis grandchildren and working on hisproperty.

Anderson is a social studies teacherat Dr. Charles Best Secondary and isalso working part-time on a master’sdegree in counselling psychology. Shehas two children who attend AnmoreElementary and a new beagle namedLucky.

An all-candidates meeting willbe held at Anmore Elementary onThursday, Nov. 3 from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

In addition to the two mayoral can-didates, seven council candidates willcompete for four positions.

Incumbents John McEwen andKerri Palmer Isaak will run, alongwith Larry Barron, Tracy Green,Timothy Laidler, Steven Robb andElaine Willis.

Heather Anderson and Mario Piamonte want to be mayor of Anmore.

B.C.’s legal aid systemneeds help.

So says Sharon Matthews,president of the Canadian BarAssociation B.C.

Local politicians haveindicated legal aid is an issueof interest in the Tri-Cities,Matthews said, since manyresidents live below the pov-erty level.

“Legal aid is for legalcrises, which are of the typethat, unfortunately, cross allsections of society. Familiesbreak down everywhere.In hard economic times, alot of families are breakingdown. Those are the people

who need assistance to sortout their problems in a cost-effective manner,” Matthewssaid.

“So there’s a big equalityissue around it. The justicesystem is one that we all payfor and it’s supposed to beequally accessible by anyone,no matter what their meansare. But it’s not accessible forpeople who don’t have a law-yer to guide them through itand to act as an intermediarywhen they’re essentially in themiddle of a crisis. You’re notat your best to take on a dif-ficult challenge like that whenyou’re in that situation.”

To address the issue, theassociation recently launcheda public awareness campaignto push for more provincial

funding for legal aid in B.C.Matthews is travelling

throughout the province tomeet with politicians, cham-bers of commerce and com-munity groups. Recently, shediscussed the dilemma withmembers of Port Coquitlamcouncil.

“We need stable andadequate funding. Thatsounds like it could cost a lot,but really it is an investment.What studies from around theworld have shown is that $1invested in legal aid returnsmore than $1 in other sec-tors of government spendingbecause having people repre-sent themselves in court ornot get their problem solvedis extremely economicallyinefficient,” Matthews said.

“And legal aid is an eco-nomically efficient way toresolve problems and stopthem from costing moreelsewhere in the governmentspending.”

Without legal aid, peopletend to do one of two things,Matthews said.

“They either representthemselves — and if they do,the outcomes are not whatthey should be or could be,and their problems might notget resolved in an effectivemanner — or they end up notgoing through the judicialsystem to resolve their prob-lems,” she said.

“But their problems don’tgo away, so they end up in thecommunities. They end up insubsidized housing or being

homeless. They end up inthe soup kitchens. They canend up being alienated fromtheir children. The children offamily disputes that don’t getresolved are really caught inthe middle and they end up inschools in crisis.”

Matthews has heard aboutthese circumstances frommany city councillors whobegan their political careers asschool trustees.

“They say you see thesekids coming to school andyou know what’s going onat home is making it a very,very difficult situation forthem to learn effectively andto be happy and comfortable,”Matthews said.

Matthews invites Tri-Cities residents to get involved in thecause through a website called We Need Legal Aid (www.wen-eedlegalaid.com), which shares the stories of people caught upin the system.

“It is also set up to engage the public. They can go on andtell their own stories with links to Facebook and Twitter so theycan show their support for a properly funded legal aid system,”she said. “With the public support we generate through socialmedia and through this public awareness campaign, we intendto sit down with the government and say, ‘The public supportsfinding a solution to this problem. How can we find one in thecontext of scarce public resources?’”

Groups can arrange to meet with Matthews by [email protected].

New overpass opens

Regardless of whom you talk to, relief seemsto be the order of the day.

That’s the general consensus among thebusiness community, local residents and fromCity of Coquitlam officials regarding Saturday’sopening of the King Edward Overpass.

After more than a year’s worth of construc-tion, traffic tie-ups and losses to local busi-nesses, the new structure was unveiled at a rib-bon-cutting ceremony on Saturday morning.

“It was a tremendous day for Coquitlam,”

said Maurice Gravelle, the city’s general man-ager of strategic initiatives. “After watchingtraffic for a couple hours, traffic was movingin and around and over the overpass as thoughit’s been there forever.”

The new overpass replaces the previousthree-lane underpass configuration and isintended to reduce congestion, while alsoimproving traffic and people movement inthe area near Lougheed Highway and UnitedBoulevard.

“If you had to wait for a train, that used tobe a fairly significant wait,” Gravelle said. “Nowin about 30 or 35 seconds you’re on the other

In terms of sheer magnitude, the monkey busi-ness going on with BC Hydro’s accounting prac-tices may rank as the most misleading financial

dodge ever performed by a B.C. government.The province’s independent financial watchdog

— Auditor General John Doyle — recently blewthe whistle on the deferred accountsbeing piled up by the Crown corpora-tion. Now, “deferred accounting” seemslike a benign and dull topic, but theramifications of this ongoing practiceare potentially huge for ratepayers in theforeseeable future.

Not only that, but this kind of finan-cial hocus-pocus has allowed the B.C.Liberal government to mask the truestate of its financial position.

And we’re not talking chump changehere. All told, BC Hydro has funnelled $2.2 billion ofexpenses into those deferred accounts, and the totalis expected to hit $5 billion by 2017.

In the 10 years the B.C. Liberals have been inpower, the deferred accounts have ballooned fromjust over $200 million to more than $2 billion.Meanwhile, in that same timeframe, the governmenthas taken more than $2 billion in dividends from BCHydro.

In other words, the government has artificiallyimproved its bottom line by billions of dollars. Inthis fiscal year alone, the deficit would climb byalmost $450 million if the deferred account for theyear was eliminated at BC Hydro.

The government has given the impression that BCHydro’s profitability has allowed it to be paid a heftydividend every year when the reality is that the divi-

dend was made possible only because a huge amountof expenses were simply deferred for payment at alater date. The motive for this expensive sleight-of-hand appears to be that it prevents BC Hydro ratesfrom increasing too quickly, which can be politicallydamaging for the government.

But the deferred costs still haveto be paid back at some point, whichmeans eventually hydro rates will haveto increase significantly (on top of theincreases that will come with or withoutdeferred accounting).

Energy Minister Rich Coleman sayshe’s confident the corporation will beable to pay down the accounts once bigprojects like the Site C dam are com-pleted and more revenue is generated.We’ll see. This kind of jiggery-pokery

makes some of the financial hijinks that occurredduring the NDP’s time in power pale in comparison.The New Democrats were routinely accused of off-loading spending costs into areas not captured bythe provincial budget, but the money involved theredoesn’t come anywhere near the $5 billion this par-ticular scheme will eventually cost.

In fact, if the NDP had tried something like thiswhile in government, the B.C. Liberals would havebeen apoplectic with rage. While in Opposition,the B.C. Liberals constantly tried to portray NewDemocrats as economic incompetents and wrappedthemselves in claims of tremendous superiority onany economic issue.

But the longer the B.C. Liberals have been inpower, the more the lie is put to those claims. Theirtrack record is actually quite spotty on this front.

For example, there have been numerous and hugebudget deficits posted by the B.C. Liberals, while thegovernment’s incompetence destroyed a tax policyshift — the HST — it insisted was vitally neededby the province. And the province’s total debt isapproaching $60 billion, almost double the amountwhen they first came to power. Throw in the BossPower fiasco, which saw $30 million paid to a com-pany for not developing a uranium mine, and it alladds up to quite the opposite of a thrifty and trans-parent government.

•••Another political irony may be taking shape in

the Vancouver municipal elections. The OccupyVancouver crowd, which appears to support a hodge-podge of assorted left-wing policies, has become anissue in the election in that city.

As managers of the city, Vancouver Mayor GregorRobertson and his Vision Vancouver council arefinding themselves in a tight spot. Mayoral candi-date Suzanne Anton and the NPA have effectively, ifunfairly, aligned the Occupy gang with Robertsonand Vision in the minds of many. If public frustra-tion and annoyance with the Occupy crowd grows–— or if it turns into a nasty riot if the police moveto forcibly end the protest — they may wear muchof the fallout.

While Robertson himself seems to be a safe betfor re-election, it will be ironic indeed if a left-wingprotest ends up costing even a couple of left-leaningVision candidates victory at the ballot box.

B.C. government relies on hydro hocus-pocus

I wanted to let you know how wonderful andamazing the firework display was on Halloweennight. The Kwikwetlem First Nation did a great ser-vice to the Tri-Cities area. The location is far enoughaway from the highly populated areas but closeenough for several neighbourhoods toenjoy the night-time display.

I can only imagine what the view waslike from Citadel Heights and the sur-rounding hills. A person usually has totravel outside of our city area to enjoysuch a high calibre of entertainment.

Keeping the celebration local also means lesspeople travelling and more dollars spent at home.

I hope that they will be doing this next year.Marcell Gillatt

ter to the editor, Wednesday, Oct. 26.Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with Joanne

No to highrises anywhere in PoCo.Christine TaylorPort Coquitlam

It’s hard to imagine anything less contro-versial than poppy sales during the lead-upto Remembrance Day. And yet, it seems,

every year someone finds a way to disrespect— often unintentionally — the poppy and whatit means to our veterans and our heritage.

Every year, it seems, we hear of someonesomewhere who has stolen a donation box ora business that has refused the simple courtesyof allowing veterans a bit of space to sell theirpoppies.

Every year, it seems, we run into peoplewho have forgotten or perhaps never had theopportunity to learn the meaning of those pop-pies sold by veterans and local legion branches.

Poppy sales have a two-fold purpose: theyraise money to help veterans in need, but theyalso remind us of the depth of sacrifices made— or risked — for this country, and for othersaround the world.

The red paper or plastic poppies sold by vet-erans and legionnaires and others and madeavailable through donation boxes on storecounters represent the masses of poppy flowersthat grew and bloomed on the Flanders battle-fields in Belgium and France.

Artillery fire and other First World War activ-ity awakened the seeds that had lain dormantin the soil, resulting in fields of beautiful colourin the midst of war.

The flowers figure prominently in the famouspoem, In Flanders Fields, penned by Canadianphysician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.

They are a reminder of tens of thousands ofCanadians who died in war, and a reminder ofthe risks and injuries endured by hundreds ofthousands more.

The money goes to housing, rehabilitationand other projects to care for those whose liveswere altered by the risks and injuries. That’ssomething worth remembering, next time yousee someone selling poppies outside your door.

Fraser Institute critiqueof public auto insurance

under fire by readersRe: “Maintaining ICBC ‘a disservice to B.C.

drivers,’” opinion column, Friday, Oct. 28.I was disappointed to see Neil Mohindra’s

shallow and poorly researched analysis of autoinsurance given such prominence on your edi-torial page.

As a lawyer who has represented both insur-ers and injury victims in Ontario and B.C., it iseasy to spot some obvious omissions. B.C. hasa “full tort” system which gives accident vic-tims unrestricted access to courts to compen-sate them for damages. Every other provincehas restricted the rights of innocent accidentvictims by capping or limiting compensation.

Quebec has low rates because the govern-ment makes the decision as to how muchinsurance money goes to injury victims. It isno surprise the government chooses low pay-outs, as little as $32,000 for a permanent braininjury to a child.

Also missing is Mr. Mohindra’s explanationas to why Ontario drivers pay more for theirauto insurance, even though most injury vic-tims are forbidden to claim compensation andinsurance is delivered by private companies“competing” for customers.

First, Ontario has a much higher accidentrate, which is why it is foolish to compareOntario (or B.C. for that matter) with low acci-dent provinces like the Maritimes.

Second, private competition for businessconflicts with good public policy. I watched theprivate insurance industry collapse into “nofault” in Ontario between 1987 and 1992 andhere’s how it happened: Private insurers wouldonly compete for good drivers, offering themlow rates and refusing to insure “bad drivers”altogether. “Bad drivers” included someone

with a speeding ticket. These “bad drivers”were forced to resort to “facility” insuranceat rates above $5,000. The result: as many as30 per cent of drivers did not buy insurance.Those drivers hit “good drivers” who had toresort to their own uninsured coverage, sogood drivers were eventually also charged out-rageous rates by their own carriers. ICBC, incontrast, spreads risk over all drivers.

Third, private insurers waste enormouscourt time litigating fault foraccidents, even those that do notinvolve injuries, whereas publicinsurers decide fault in house,while leaving individual drivers theright to challenge that decision incourt.

If the Fraser Institute gets its wish, and pri-vate auto insurance returns to B.C., I predictthat compensation for innocent accident vic-tims will be severely restricted, and rates willgo up.

Chris BaconPort Moody

•••The majority of the column was based on

the findings of the Fraser Institute’s yearlyreport on auto insurance across Canada.

Their report comes to the same conclusionsevery year and consistently misrepresents theaverage auto insurance premium in B.C., com-pares provinces while admitting this is difficultto do, and criticizes ICBC for paying out toomuch on claims.

Every year, the report reveals a clear biasin its methodology towards private insurancerather than using actual facts.

For example, the numbers the report citesas to the cost of auto insurance in B.C. arenot based on what people are actually payingin B.C. and are incredibly dated. For example,the 2011 report seems to be based on the years

2003-2005 for some reason that is not clear.Our average premium for 2010 was less

than $1,100. While there will be times that anincrease in our rates is needed, the fact is thatwe have not increased our rates since 2007 andhave put in place a number of rate decreasessince that time.

You can travel across Canada and find arange of public and private auto insurance anddiverse arguments both for and against each

system. We believe our system inB.C. works for a number of rea-sons.

We know some provinces offerlower-priced auto insurance butwe also know some others offerhigher-priced auto insurance

— including some of those with private insur-ance. Our focus in B.C. is to give our custom-ers the best possible coverage for the lowestpossible cost.

Any discussion on insurance should be basednot just on what you pay, but what you get foryour money — what is the quality of the insur-ance coverage given? After all, is there value inpaying for a product that really doesn’t benefityou when you need it?

Mr. Mohindra’s column mentions Alberta ona couple of occasions. While you may be ableto get a cheaper insurance premium there,they fail to point out that our customers’ med-ical and rehab benefits are three times morethan those offered in Alberta, New Brunswickand Ontario. In comparison to our $150,000in medical and rehab coverage in B.C., thosethree provinces offer $50,000 while NovaScotia provides $25,000.

If we’re making comparisons betweenprovinces, which we agree is difficult to do, itshould also be noted that drivers in Alberta,New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are limited inwhat payments they can receive. Those prov-

inces have systems that are variously basedon caps or deductibles on pain and sufferingawards. This is not the case in B.C., wheredrivers are entitled to take the at-fault party tocourt for damages.

In addition to offering our customers someof the best insurance coverage in the country,we invest approximately $50 million on roadsafety projects and campaigns every year tomake our roads safer for you and your family.Our network of broker partners also offers ourcustomers unparalleled convenience, accessand advice through hundreds of locationsacross the province.

We do all of this while keeping our operatingcosts low compared to the industry average,and our customer satisfaction scores are con-sistently positive. While you can argue that nosingle system is perfect, we are working hardto provide excellent customer experience forBritish Columbians.

The structure also contains a four-metre-wide multi-use pathway — intended for cyc-lists and pedestrians — that connects MackinPark on the north side to the future FraserMills development on the south side.

“We’re absolutely delighted that it’s open,”said Maillardville Residents’ Associationpresident Al Boire. “It certainly has been along haul in terms of the traffic disruptions,although generally speaking, we feel that thecity and builder did a pretty good job of man-aging that whole challenge.”

For the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce,the $8-million project couldn’t come soonenough.

“We’re thrilled that this one part of theGateway Project is finally complete,” saidMichael Hind, the chamber’s executive direc-tor. “The industry down there, and the com-panies down there, are hurting and this willhelp in some small way to bring back somepeople to the area.”

Bus service will return to its normal levelson Monday, Nov. 7, with the Nos. 791 and 159buses returning to their pre-existing routes.The No. 177 route, however, has been changedand no longer connects directly betweenWoolridge Street and King Edward Avenue.

Outside of bus service being re-instated,Gravelle noted that a few more minor additionsare needed before the overpass’s grand open-ing early next year: work still continues onthe traffic islands, the ornamental pedestrianstreetlights and the asphalt on both sides ofthe approaches.

BBB offers parents tips for finding safe child careThe Better Business Bureau

(BBB) advises parents to takeplenty of time to find safe,reliable child care that suitstheir child and schedule.

Parents first need to deter-mine what kind of care theyneed: full- or part-time, in-home or facility-based. Theyalso need to consider the loca-tion in relation to their homeand work, the hours, cost andeducational opportunities fortheir child.

Recommendations fromfamily or friends can be help-ful, and government agenciesor industry organizations canalso be sources of informa-tion.

The B.C. Child CareResource and ReferralProgram helps parents findchild care and provides infor-mation on child care subsid-ies. However, it is ultimatelyup to parents to find carethat is appropriate for theirchildren.

The BBB has the followingtips for parents seeking qual-ity child care:

• Visit several facilities orcaregivers, and find out howstaff are selected and whattheir credentials are. What isthe staff-to-child ratio? Howare children grouped (i.e. byage or stage of development)?Ask whether the facility car-ries appropriate liability insur-ance. The Ministry of Healthis responsible for licensingchild-care facilities in B.C.,and the day-to-day monitor-ing and inspection duties arecarried out by the local healthauthority community carelicensing staff.

• Ask about safety proced-ures and how an accidentmight be handled. What willhappen if your child is hurtor becomes ill while at thecentre? Will you be called ornotified before you arrive topick up your child? Ask aboutfees and payment deadlines.Is a deposit required, and is itrefundable? Are fees chargedif a parent is late picking up achild? Are there extra chargesfor any activities? Are mealsand transportation offered? Isfinancial assistance available?

• Ask about the balancebetween structured andunstructured activities. Whathappens during naptime?How are babies put downfor naps, and how often arethey checked when sleeping?What if your child can’t go tosleep? Make sure the centre ordaycare home is clean, withenough space for childrento play and adequate safetyequipment. Call at least threeparents whose children areenrolled in the program todiscuss their experiences. Askif your child can spend part ofthe day in the daycare centreor home before you enrol.Discuss the experience withthe caregiver. Be alert to yourchild’s reaction and behav-iour. Allow plenty of time foradjustment, especially in thefirst day or first week at thecentre. Call or visit the facil-ity once your child is enrolled

to find out how the child isdoing and to establish rapport

with the staff.To access further informa-

tion on child-care programs,contact the B.C. Ministry

I think“restrainedexuberance”might be a fairway to describemy responseto the newson October 11that the Metro

Vancouver Mayors Council hadapproved Translink’s “MovingForward”plan for the funding oftransportation improvements inthe Lower Mainland. Like mostpeople, I’m somewhat less thanthrilled to have to pay another

two cents per litre in gas taxesstarting in April of next year. Andbeing a bit of a born skeptic I’ll savemy“unrestrained exuberance” forthe day that I actually get to boardthe Evergreen Line at Douglas Col-lege Station. But this is a big stepforward. The Tri-Cities Chamberof Commerce has been doggedlyadvocating for the construction ofthe Evergreen Line for many yearsnow. As a director of the Chamberfor the last five years, I’ve heard ourmembers reiterate time and timeagain that transportation is one ofthe most significant challenges toour competitiveness in the Tri Cities(along with property taxes and redtape – let’s fix those next!). This hasbeen a long time coming, and

CHAIR’S REPORT

It’s that time again. Yes, every three years we getthe opportunity to vote for the folks who willgovern our local communities and have directimpact on our day to day lives.

So why don’t more people get out and casttheir ballots? Good question. In the most recent

Municipal election in 2008 the voter turn out was 22% in Port Moodyand Coquitlam, and 28% in Port Coquitlam. For the Federal electionearlier this year, the national voter turn out was about 60%.Why thedifference? The local Mayors and Councils make decisions that impactour everyday lives. We need to do better on November 19th.

I urge all voters to do a little research on the candidates in your com-munity. There are plenty of ways to do that. Visit their website, give

3604.464.2716 REVIEWNOVEMBER

It can sneak up onyou very quickly, theholiday season. Sowith the holidaysfast approaching,and employerseverywhere cringingat the thought ofspending money ona company party,

First Services Hospitality owner BrendaPhillips offers these suggestions forplanning a more economical year-endsoiree.

1. Let’s do lunch. Ever noticed how thelunch menu at most restaurants is wayless expensive than the dinner menu?Turn this years’Christmas Party into aluncheon to help keep your costs incheck, and your staff will thank you forA) a free afternoon off work, and B) nothaving to come up with an excuse for notgoing to your regular weekend party.

2. Make your office party an officeparty. Having your party in the officeinstead of renting a hall or hotel can

shave a large chunk off your total partyexpense, and gives you the flexibility tochoose your own caterer rather than beforced to use hotel-issue options only.

3. Shop around. This may seem like ano-brainer, but most of us are busy andoften too quick to just call the peopleyou dealt with last year. Take the time toseek out competitively-priced catererswho are all too eager to earn yourbusiness.

4. Have a co-party. Do you knowanother company that you could co-host a party with? Split the expenses byplanning your big event together, andwho knows, the injection of some newfaces in the crowd could actually serveto liven up the event more than youexpected.

5. Get creative. Host a themed officeparty, an office murder mystery, or agames night to get everyone involvedand turn your usual can’t-wait-to-get-this-over-with yawner into a hey-that-was-a-great-time-when-can-we-do-it-again success.

6. Spend some of your savings. Re-invest some of the money you’re saving

into something everyone can benefitfrom like a couple of decent door prizes,a weekend inWhistler giveaway, or$500 in gift certificates to help out withChristmas shopping.7. Hold the party in your home. If you

have a large home why not save theexpense of a hall and have it in yourhome. This will personalize the partyand it can be a mix and mingle stylecombined with plated appetizers andsome wonderful beverages. Rememberto have taxi vouchers available orplanned rides home.

Portion control is the primaryweapon against unwantedweight.Portion-wise eating meanshaving your cake and eating it,too. Everything can be enjoyed– in moderation.But this advice is more difficultto follow than ever. Oversizedfood portions and drinks areeverywhere. We’re enticedto “save” money by gettingthe next size up. Gone arethe days of feasting whenfood is available, not knowingwhen famine will hit. Wehave 24-hour access to foodeverywhere.Most of us eat at least threetimes a day, and if weight lossis the goal, smaller meals withhealthy snacks in betweenis advised. We don’t have toapproach any given meal orsnack like it’s the last chanceever to eat. Even if it’s a specialoccasion, keep in mind therewill be others.When working on weightloss, remember the tennis balltip. One tennis ball is a greatexample of how much to– especially with starchy foods.

Resist urge to supersize mealsMIND THOSE PORTIONS!

A plate of food showing how to divide everything and eat healthy. LEAH HENNEL/POSTMEDIA

Bread, rice, pasta and muffins,for example, are best kept totennis ball size. A healthy dailytotal for such grain productsis six servings – ideally mostshould be whole grains. Highlyactive people will require more.The fuzzy green ball alsorepresents a healthy portionof fruits or vegetables. Aimfor seven or more daily. Withmilk products, eight ounces ofmilk or 175 grams of yogurtare considered one serving,and a tennis ball is a reasonablereference. Adults need two tothree servings each day.Even when this amount isconsumed, it can be toughto get enough calcium andvitamin D. As a minimum, alladults over 50 should take 400IU of vitamin D daily. Aim forabout 1,500 milligrams a dayof calcium. A typical serving ofmilk products provides about250 mg of calcium. Considermaking up the difference withsupplements if needed. Keepcheese portions to an ounceand half, about the size of twothumbs side by side. Portionsof protein-rich meat and

alternatives should be aboutthe size of a deck of cards orthree to four ounces. Adultsneed two or three servings aday.Overeating has been made sosimple. Juice is often servedin bottles the size of threetennis balls. Meat portionsare rarely the size of a deck ofcards. We’d feel ripped off ifwe were served that little in arestaurant. There isn’t reallya need to limit portions ofvegetables unless in a high-calorie version such as frenchfries or deep-fried zucchini.With tempting foods offeringlittle nutritional value such aschips, keeping them out ofsight is your best bet. Keepingthese foods handy is a threatto any diet. One mindful eatingexpert keeps chips hidden inher cold garage. Getting tothem means putting on shoesand digging through boxes.Some people suggest usingsmaller plates when settingout a meal or putting the forkdown between each bite. I’ma bigger fan of the mindful

eating movement. Becomeaware of true hunger andfeelings of fullness. Therecan be a very fine line here:sometimes it’s a matter ofan extra spoonful of mashedpotatoes. You’re full, butone last nibble remains.Raised to clean your plate,you eat it.

But even a slight overfullfeeling can hamper weightand blood-pressuremanagement. Instead,save those potatoes. Whenyou’re pecking a couple ofhours later, go ahead andeat them.Stock ample portions offresh vegetables and fruit in

the fridge. Place a tennis ballon the table if it will help.Don’t be tricked into eatingbigger amounts than yourbody really needs.Patricia Chuey, author,speaker and nutritionconsultant, can be reachedthrough patriciachuey.com.– BY PATRICIA CHUEY

You’re not alone. In fact,about 25 per cent ofCanadians will have asignificant sleep disorder intheir lifetime, estimates Dr.Adam Moscovitch, a.k.a. TheSleep Doctor.“We have about 85 differentsleep disorders that wecan now recognize andtreat,” said Moscovitch, aninternationally recognizedexpert on sleep and fatiguedisorders.“Sleep deprivation as a resultof not sleeping as much aswe need, or because of anunderlying sleep disorder, isbecoming quite an epidemic.And we are paying a veryheavy price for it – bothindividually and as a society.”A sleep disorder shouldnot be confused with anoccasional sleep disturbance,Moscovitch emphasized.Everyone has an occasionalsleep disturbance, he said.It may be in relation to astressful period or worryingabout something.A sleep disorder, on the otherhand, is already chronic,Moscovitch explained.“It has lasted at least forweeks, if not months, and inmost cases for years. And ithas a significant impact – ina lot of cases a measurableimpact on the individual’sphysiological, psychological,educational or occupationalfunctioning.”Treatment options forthose with sleep issues areas varied as the causes ofthe problem, Moscovitchpointed out. Mechanicaldevices, for example, can beused to treat snoring andbreathing problems. Lighttreatment offers a way ofshifting back and forth thebiological clock. Medications,whether over-the-counteror prescription, can be used.Cognitive therapy is anoption. Relaxation techniquesmay help. Sometimes it’s amatter of addressing what’shappening with your bedpartner, or how much light iscoming into your bedroomat 5 a.m., or whether yourbedroom faces a busyroadway.Pain is a major contributor tosleep problems, Moscovitchsaid.“Almost every individual thathas a problem with pain,whether acute or chronic, willhave a significant problemwith sleep”, he said.

that it will help stop it fromdeveloping into a viciouscycle,” Moscovitch explained.The founder and formermedical director of theCanadian Sleep Institute,Moscovitch currently divideshis time between Toronto andCalgary, serving as medicaldirector of The Sleep andFatigue Institute and Fatigue

There’s wiggle room for improve-ment and the chance to do just that.

The Heritage Woods Kodiaksdemonstrated why they are a two-time district champion last weekby pushing the ball all the way tothe senior girls field hockey FraserValley final.

Although they fell 1-0 to the jug-gernaut South Delta Sun Devils,Heritage gained plenty from theclose championship match.

Now, the aim is to bring it nextweek to Kelowna for the provincialAAA championships.

“The girls definitely played theirbest game against South Delta,”remarked Kodiaks coach DebbieChan. “They always seem to like a

challenge and rise up against stron-ger teams — which bodes well forus going into provincials.”

Although the most recentProvince newspaper poll failed to listHeritage Woods among the ranked,the squad finished ahead of leaguerival Gleneagle, who were slottedin at No. 9. South Delta was ratedsecond overall.

Heritage Woods didn’t waiveragainst the Sun Devils.

“They did an amazing job ofstanding their ground and defend-ing against a team that has wonthe Fraser Valleys consecutively foras long as I can remember,” saidKodiaks coach Debbie Chan. “Thelone goal of the game came early inthe first half on a short corner.

“After that, South Delta didn’treally have too many other oppor-tunities. We had a few good chances

to score, but couldn’t capitalize.”As the North league’s reign-

ing champs, the Kodiaks rightlyset their aim high. They knockedoff Tamanawis 6-0 in the opener,and squeaked past North rival Dr.Charles Best 1-0 in the semifinal.

Turning in standout efforts dur-ing the series were Grade 12 cap-tains Lisa Gray and Carly Watson.Standing her ground under thehot Fraser Valley spotlight was Gr.9 goalkeeper Alycia Gray, whilejunior national team member PaigeHamilton continued to be a force.

Also supplying strong supportwere Libby Reidl up front, defendersEmily King and Miranda Venos, andMercedes Hamilton, who made herreturn to the pitch count after miss-ing over a month due to injury.

The B.C.s begin Nov. 9 inKelowna.

It’s full steam ahead for Coquitlam’sJisoo Keel.

The teenage golfer was promoted tothe 2012 national amateur golf team,after spending the past year on thedevelopment squad.

“I’m pretty excited to be on thenational team and move up from thedevelopment team,” Keel told TheNOW. “The development team reallyhelped me a lot and I feel it made me abetter player and person.”

One of five women selected for the11-member team, 16-year-old Keelearned the spot after a strong seasonon various courses.

She began 2011 with a victory at theCN Future Links Pacific championship,and then placed second at both theRoyale Cup Canadian Junior and B.C.Junior girls tournaments.

Internationally, the then-15-year-oldadvanced to the round of 16 at the U.S.Girls Junior championships.

The highlight came in August at theCN Canadian Women’s Open, wherethe teenage amateur went iron-to-ironwith the pros and made the cut.

“Making the cut (at the CanadianOpen) was pretty important, I think. Ifelt like I could compete with anyone.”

Keel also placed third at the B.C.stop of the CN Canadian Women’stour and eighth in Quebec. She alsoled Gleneagle to a provincial title bybecoming the first female ever to postthe low score in the two-day tourney.

A Grade 11 student at GleneagleSecondary, Keel is currently studyingfor her SATs while also maintaininga regular training regimen. Keel saidshe’s eager to make the most of it.

“I thought being named to the teamshowed all my hard work had paid offover the year. It was something I wasaiming for and it’s nice to get that,”Keel said.

Meanwhile, Port Coquitlam’s AnicaYoo was named to the Canadian devel-opment squad.

The 18-year-old enjoyed a stellarseason that saw her tie for secondat the Royale Cup Canadian jr. girlschampionships, place third at the B.C.Women’s Amateur, fourth at the CNFuture Links Pacific championship andsixth overall at the B.C. Jr. girls final.

Heritage Woods’ Libby Reidl, centre, drives past two South Delta rivals during last Thursday’s senior girls AAA Fraser Valley field hockeyfinal in Coquitlam. South Delta won 1-0, but both teams qualified for next week’s provincials in Kelowna.

Fox, Centaursset for annualgridiron test

Whether there’s something on theline or not, there will always be a ton ofmotivation for the players in a Terry Fox-Centennial senior football game.

The two teams close out the regularseason on Friday, 7 p.m. at Percy PerryStadium looking to build some winningmomentum heading into next week’sB.C. High School AAA Football playoffs.

The Terry Fox Ravens, who edged LordTweedsmuir 21-20 last week, have a lockon one of the Eastern Conference’s play-off spots.

The Centennial Centaurs, meanwhile,were in the hunt for one of the final post-season berths even after a 20-6 hard-luckloss to powerhouse W.J. Mouat.

The Coquitlam Express had no answer for theVictoria Grizzlies in the third period.

If the offence doesn’t shape up, there’ll bemore questions ahead.

The B.C. Hockey League club dropped a pairof games on home ice on the weekend, falling 4-3 in overtime to the Surrey Eagles on Friday and5-2 to Victoria on Saturday.

Outshot 48-29 in the second game, Coquitlamwere even-up with the visiting Grizzlies 2-2 with20 minutes left.

Victoria stepped it up and pushed off withthree unanswered tallies to end the game.

The Express managed just four shots in thefinal frame.

Although Coquitlam was without two mem-bers of its top line — Alexander Kerfoot andAlex Petan were attending the Canada Westtryout camp in Langley for the Canada Junior

Challenge tournament — the club got secondperiod markers from defenceman Jason Bird andforward Brady Shaw to briefly hold a 2-1 lead.

Against Surrey, the Express took a 2-1 lead ongoals by Clinton Atkinson and Zack Holstrominto the second period, but trailed 3-2 early inthe third. Shaw cashed in a power play chancemidway through the period to force extra time.

Surrey collected the win when Tyler Morleyconverted a late power play opportunity with 32seconds left in the OT session.

The Express head to Duncan to play theCowichan Valley Capitals tonight. On Friday,they host the Langley Rivermen (7 p.m. at thePoirier Sports Centre), before heading to Surreyfor a tilt on Saturday.

They wrap up the four-game week on Sunday,2 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre when theyget a second chance at Victoria.

incentives to play Terry Fox,but the situation makes itthat much more dramatic,”remarked Centaur head coachRyk Piche.

The Cents sit 1-3 and infifth place, while Fox owns a2-2 record — tied with LordTweedsmuir in third spot.

Even if playoffs are assured,there is no doubt that theplayers are eager to squareaway local bragging rights.

“We’ve already made theplayoffs so it’s pretty muchabout the rivalry,” Fox co-coach Martin McDonnellsaid. “We want to keep that

momentum heading into theplayoffs and keep improvingas we have each week.”

Trailing by two touchdownsin the first quarter, Foxreplied with two majors byrunning back Jake Nylund.

In overtime, quarterbackTrevor Casey hit Nylund for anine-yard TD pass on the sec-ond play. A successful convertproved to be the difference.

Nylund finished with 192yards on 24 carries, whileMark Casuga gained 40 yardson seven rushes. Jack Brady,Tyrel Ratich and Nylund tal-lied four tackles each.

Centennial’s 20-6 loss tothe Hawks was misleading,

Piche said.“It wasn’t a blowout. It

was like a 3-1 (hockey) score.We did our job defensivelyafter the first few minutes,(but) we just didn’t finish ourchances.”

Fullback Lucas Naso scoredthe team’s only TD late in thegame as part of a 103-yardday. Despite playing the No.2 ranked team, the Centaurbacks gained over 200 yards.

Corralling momentum willbe the key, Piche said.

“I think we match upwell with Fox. Not muchhas changed over the years— they have more size but wehave more speed.”

Express offence runs out of steam
