The Metro cities andthe province are nowcommitted to try to ne-gotiate various newsources for TransLinkto cover nearly half ofthe extra $70 million peryear required to fund thetransit expansion plan.

It’s a big leap of faithfor the mayors, who aretrusting that Victoriawill deliver and notleave them in the lurchonce again. If the prov-ince gets cold feet orotherwise refuses tosign off on new sources,a $23 average propertytax increase takes effectinstead.

“This is not the end ofthe road — this is the be-ginning of the road to thesolution,” Langley CityMayor Peter Fassbendersaid.

Surrey Mayor DianneWatts said a “fair toll-ing policy” must be partof the debate to end theinequity of some Metroresidents paying more intolls than others.

“We have a year,”Watts said. “If we can’tdo this in a year, I thinkwe should all just walkaway from the table. Iffor whatever reason itfails, I will not be sittingat this table.”

Approval was assuredbecause Surrey andVancouver had enoughweighted votes to passthe plan with only a fewother cities on board.

Six mayors opposed the

plan: Burnaby’s DerekCorrigan, Richmond’sMalcolm Brodie, Delta’sLois Jackson, LangleyTownship’s Rick Green,Pitt Meadows’ DonMacLean and NewWestminster’s WayneWright.

Langley Township’sGreen said residents ofcommunities south ofthe Fraser River are un-der-served by transit andtapped out on what theycan pay. “I’m hearing itloud and clear,” he said.“People have just hadenough.”

MacLean warned thefall-back property taxincrease, if used, willnot be temporary butwill stay in place for-ever because rescindingit would trigger drastictransit service cuts.

Several mayors pre-dicted Victoria will backout and refuse to grantnew sources — espe-cially ones sure to becontentious as the nextprovincial election nears— leaving them stuckwith the unwanted prop-erty tax.

“Can you imaginehow difficult a road pric-ing debate is going to beand how divisive thatis going to be in our re-gion?” Brodie asked.

“I’m afraid I don’thave that kind of faith,”Delta’s Jackson added.

TransLink has tried toget on sustainable finan-cial footing before. It hadthe green light to imposea $75 per vehicle levy in2000 but the then-opposi-tion BC Liberals foughtit and the NDP govern-ment scrapped it in a bidto shore up votes.

M o r e r e c e n t l y,TransLink adopted aparking stall tax but theBC Liberal governmentdecided it was unaccept-able and killed it amida governance overhaulthat took TransLinkcontrol away from theelected reps.

Some mayors, suchas Brodie, wanted to ap-prove just the two-centgas tax for the $1.4-bil-lion Evergreen Line,chop the other spendingin the plan and avoidthe risk of a property

tax hike. But others saidthey couldn’t support anEvergreen-only solution— nor was it possiblebecause mayors had nopower to amend the plancrafted by TransLink’sunelected board.

Changes to the gover-nance structure givingcities more control ofthe spending prioritiesis a key demand of themayors.

Corrigan said theprovince will only grantreal reform if the mayorstake a stand and freezethe flow of new cash toTransLink.

The provincial gov-ernment still has to passlegislation this monthenabling the TransLinkgas tax increase from acurrent 15 cents a litre to17 cents next spring.

As soon as the in-crease is legislated, theprovince is expected tomove quickly to issuea request for proposalsfor the Evergreen Line— likely before the endof the year — setting thestage for a constructionstart next year.

A jubilant Mayor JoeTrasolini of Port Moodysaid his city will reversea development freeze assoon as the project ad-vances.

T he approval ofTransLink’s $400-millionshare of Evergreen Linecosts also secures morethan $1 billion in federaland provincial contribu-tions.

‘We have a year’: Watts

Projections are ‘optimistic’By Diane Strandberg

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

As Metro Vancouvermayors voted Friday ona plan to boost gas taxesand possibly bumpproperty taxes to pay fortransit improvements,a report suggestedEvergreen Line rev-enue projections may beoverly optimistic.

The analysis by trans-portation commissionerMartin Crilly says rid-ership projections of in-creases between 65% and70% in six years afteropening are “somewhatoptimistic,” although

“not impossible.”He says in the report

(available at www.trans-linkcommission.orgunder What’s New) thathe didn’t have enoughdata from TransLink toprovide a thorough anal-ysis but he’s doubtfulsuch a ridership boostcould be accomplishedso soon along what hecalled a low-density cor-ridor.

“This appears op-timistic given that itis recognized that theprimary role of theEvergreen Line is toshape land use in a rela-tively low-density sectorof the region,” he wrote.

And if ridership num-bers don’t meet projec-tions, revenue could

fall — and even a 25%drop in projected “new”ridership could resultin a loss of $28 millionin fare revenue over sixyears.

Meanwhile, the cityof Coquitlam is in nego-tiations with the prov-ince over a proposedLincoln station nearTown Centre that wouldhave the desired effectof boosting density tosupport ridership.

“The whole idea is todensify the Tri-Citiesand to build in the Tri-Cities so we increase theridership,” said MauriceGravelle, Coquitlam’sgeneral manager ofstrategic initiatives. Hesaid he couldn’t be moredetailed about negotia-

tions because they areconfidential.

C u r re n t f u n d i n gprovides for six sta-tions: Lougheed TownCentre in Burnaby (atthe current MillenniumLine SkyTrain sta-tion), Burquitlam inCoquitlam, the WestCoast Express and IocoRoad in Port Moody,Coquit lam Centralstation and DouglasCollege. All have beenchosen because they areclose to homes, work-places and transit.

In addition to a sta-tion at Lincoln, twomore stations have yetto be confirmed: WestPort Moody and FalconDrive in [email protected]

More groups stepaway from inquiryCriticism of funding intensifies as missingwomen hearings begin

By Jeff NagelBLACK PRESS

Two more groups have pulled out ofthe Missing Women Inquiry, citing theprovincial government’s refusal to payfor lawyers.

Amnesty International and the BCCivil Liberties Association (BCCLA)said last week they would not partici-pate in hearings, which began yesterdayin Vancouver.

Several other public interest groupsrepresenting women or aboriginals thathad been granted standing before the in-quiry previously refused to participate.

Critics say lawyers must be providedfor groups representing vulnerablewomen if they are to put tough ques-tions to police and government officialson why it took so long to catch serialkiller Robert Pickton of Port Coquitlam.Otherwise, they say, the inquiry isstacked in favour of the authorities,which will be well-defended by publiclyfunded lawyers when called to testify.

“This Commission of Inquiry isgrappling with critical concerns aboutaccess to justice and human rightsprotection for some of the most mar-

ginalized commu-nities in the prov-ince,” AmnestyI n t e r n a t i o n a lCanada representa-tive Alex Neve said.“But it is going for-ward in a mannerthat only adds tothat longstandingsense of exclusion

and discrimination.”Neve said the organization could not

stay on board and send the signal it sup-ports the process.

“We are going to dedicate our effortsto processes where calls for respectand voices of concern can be heard,”added Robert Holmes, lawyer with theBCCLA.

Commissioner Wally Oppal hadfought for increased funding fromVictoria but was unsuccessful. The in-quiry ended up reshuffling its budget tohire four lawyers to represent variousinterests, a move opponents call inad-equate.

The government has “lavished all itsresources on one side — that of the po-lice and bureaucrats,” Holmes said.

Some of the families and friends ofPickton’s victims are worried the in-quiry will be hampered in its search foranswers.

New ID is comingBy Tom Fletcher

BLACK PRESS

The replacement for B.C.’s CareCard willprovide online access to medical records, andmay also be used to confirm B.C. residenceand age while keeping other informationprivate.

Health Minister Mike de Jong announcedthe new “smart card” plan in May, sayingit will also offer the option of doubling as adriver’s licence. The government is phasingout the existing CareCard, mainly becausethere are 9.1 million cards in circulationand only 4.5 million residents eligible for theMedical Services Plan.

The new cards will have a picture and anelectronic chip, and be renewable every fiveyears. Labour, Citizen Services and OpenGovernment Minister Margaret MacDiarmidsaid the government hopes to start issuingthem in 2012.

Amendments to the information and pri-vacy law now before the legislature wouldallow secure online access by residents andauthorized medical professionals, for prescrip-tions, lab test results and other health records.They may also be used to confirm student sta-tus or whether a resident is 19 or over, withoutreleasing other personal information.

Exact amount of PoCo surplus isnot yet known

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

The city of PortCoquitlam is expected tohave a few extra dollarsin its coffers by year’send than what was bud-geted.

According to a citystaff report, the mu-nicipality is projectingan estimated $880,000surplus, with higherthan expected revenuesand several key depart-ments coming in underbudget.

Mindy Smith, PoCo’sdirector of corporateservices, cautionedthat the number is anestimate, and the trueamount of surplus willnot be known until thenew year.

Council will decidehow the money is spentbut using the funds toreduce taxes will likelynot be an option, shesaid.

“Surplus is one-timemoney and is not usedin the budget to reducetax rates because thefunding source is notsustainable,” she said inan email. “Each year fol-lowing the completionof the city annual audit,the actual surplus is cal-culated and council de-

termines how the fundswill be used.”

The annual audit isconducted in the spring.

According to a PoCostaff report, the city isexpecting $451,000 morein revenues by yearend than what was pre-viously budgeted. Theextra money is attrib-uted to the timing ofseveral large construc-tion projects, particu-larly in the Dominion

Triangle, which pay de-velopment cost chargesto the city.

Economic conditionsand other city opera-tions can lead to budgetvariances, the reportstates, adding that theextra $451,000 is about0.4% of the city’s over-all revenue.

Engineering serviceswas the only depart-ment projected to ex-ceed its budget, coming

in $61,000, or 1%, overdue to the increased ex-penditures required toaccompany the new de-velopment in the city.

Former Edmonton Eskimo player Adam Braidwood will remain in jail for at least another week.

Braidwood still in jail on gun charges

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Former Canadian Football Leagueplayer Adam Braidwood, who wasarrested on gun charges last monthduring the Terry Fox Hometown Runin Port Coquitlam, will remain be-hind bars for at least another week.

Braidwood’s lawyer, Kris Pechet,said there is a possibility bail will bediscussed at a scheduled Oct. 19 hear-ing but added the case is complicateddue to his client’s outstanding legalissues in Alberta. If Braidwood wereto make bail in B.C., Pechet said,there is a possibility he has breachedbail conditions set out by the AlbertaCrown dealing with his previous ar-rests.

“No matter what happens with bailin British Columbia, he is subject tobeing taken back to Alberta,” Pechetsaid. “The Alberta Crown could makean application to cancel his bail. It isunknown whether or when that willbe done.”

Braidwood was taken into custodySept. 25 after a Coquitlam RCMP of-ficer who was directing traffic forthe Terry Fox Hometown Run wasconfronted by a many carrying whatwas believed to be a gun. Police dis-covered bullet holes inside a nearbyhome and said the 28-year-old is fac-ing several weapons charges.

His previous legal troubles dateback to November 2010 in Alberta,when witnesses reported seeingan injured man being stuffed intothe trunk of a car. Braidwood wascharged with forcible confinementand aggravated assault. While onbail, he again had a run-in with po-lice that led to charges of domesticassault, uttering threats and weap-ons offences.

Pechet, who was Braidwood’s highschool football coach at Seaquam sec-ondary school in North Delta, saidhis client is doing well given his cir-cumstances.

“He is doing OK,” Pechet said. “Heis concerned, of course. He is con-cerned for the impact this is havingon his family and his friends. He ismore concerned about them than heis about himself.”

Braidwood will remain at theNorth Fraser Pre-trial Centre inPoCo until his next hearing.

The former Washington State foot-ball product was drafted first over-all in the 2006 CFL Canadian draftbut was released by the Eskimos inApril because of his legal issues.He was Edmonton’s nominee for theOutstanding Rookie award in 2006but a knee injury forced him to sitout the 2008 and 2009 season.

FAST FEET FOR A CAUSEThey swayed, sashayed and salsa’d across the stage at the Red Robinson Show Theatre Saturday evening. And in the end, the second annual Dancing With Our Stars fundraiser collected more than $12,000 for the Crossroads Hospice Society. “It was a phenomenal event,” said DWOS organizer Dee Parry, a Tri-City News sales rep. “The entertainment was outstanding. The dancing was absolutely incredible. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.” The trophy for best overall dancer went to Dan Stroup (above left, with dancing partner Barbara Lynn Copp), a Port Coquitlam resident and assistant coach with the Washington Stealth of the National Lacrosse League, while Kent Magnuson (above right, with partner Brooke Foster), gen-eral sales manager for PoCo’s Metro Ford Motors, collected the best technical dancing prize. Other business and civic leaders who showed off their talents that night were Janine Davies, Diana Dilworth, Bob Lee, Scott Masse, Danielle McLellan, Kyle O’Genski and Selina Robinson — three of whom are running for office in the Nov. 19 civic elections locally: Dilworth for Port Moody council; Lee for PoCo school trustee; and Robinson for Coquitlam council.

A spokesperson with B.C.’s Ministry of Housing de-clined to name the groups that filled out the paperworkbut last month, Rob Thiessen of the Hope For FreedomSociety, which has outreach programs for the homelessin the Tri-Cities, told The Tri-City News his group wouldsbe among the applicants.

The proposal evaluation will happen in three stages,the ministry spokesperson said, and in the final as-sessment, the bids will be rated on a five-point system;as well, BC Housing may request interviews with theshortlisted candidates.

Although capital funding for 3030 Gordon has still notbeen announced, “the province is committed to workingwith the city to develop the shelter and fund the construc-tion of this facility,” the spokesperson said via an email.“We are still in the early planning stages and will be ableto provide more information in the coming weeks.”

Meanwhile, five Tri-City churches will deliver thecold/wet weather mat program to the homeless againthis winter. As in the past three years, volunteers atthe Coquitlam Alliance Church, Eagle Ridge BibleFellowship and Calvary Baptist Church in Coquitlam,plus Port Coquitlam’s Northside Foursquare Church andSt. Andrew’s United Church in Port Moody will providemeals and temporary accommodation to those in need.

VICTORIA

Premier Christy Clarkhanded her opponentsmore ammunition last

week with her latest “ready,fire, aim” episode, callingfor radio and TV coverage ofStanley Cup riot prosecutions.

The day after this half-baked idea wasannounced, Public Safety Minister ShirleyBond had to sign an executive order direct-ing Crown prosecutors to ask judges forbroadcast coverage. Prosecutors have enoughtrouble getting convictions in our stumbling,delay-plagued court system without spendingtime on TV applications for minor cases.

Bond referred reporters to the long list ofconditions under which broadcasting maybe done from court. In the unlikely event ajudge consents to broadcast access, nothingcan be aired until at least two hours after amorning or afternoon session has been ad-

journed. Absurdly, everyone involved, fromlawyers to witnesses to defendants, has aveto over their image or voice being broad-cast. No accused people would consent tothat. The rules are designed to fail.

I’m all in favour of televising court, not somuch to shame perpetrators as to show whata cozy little closed shop it is. I recently satin on the plea-bargained sentence for JamesRoy Taylor, the former Fraser Health tech-nology manager caught with his hand in thecookie jar for the second time in his career.

Crown and defence lawyers exchangedlegalese barely above a whisper, congratulat-ing each other for the elegance of the tap onthe wrist they were giving Taylor for accept-ing multiple benefits in exchange for approv-ing fraudulent invoices for a doctor supply-ing questionable electronic health services.Taylor has to do community service, payback the lolly he admits accepting and take areduced pension on account of being fired asa crook. Poor fellow.

Anyone who has sat in court for longsees the endless parade of adjournments

and excuses that routinely substitute forprogress. Years ago, I publicized the efforts apioneering group of youth court observers,ordinary citizens horrified by the sluggishpace of proceedings. Day after day, theysaw smirking teens watch lawyers compareschedules before heading off to lunch. Thosecitizens’ efforts led to a diversion programfor first-time offenders to provide timely con-sequences for their misdeeds.

But don’t just take it from me on the stateof our courts.

Gov. Gen. David Johnston, a law professorbefore being appointed the Queen’s represen-tative in Canada, gave a speech in August inwhich he ripped lawyers for violating theirsocial contract with the public with unac-ceptable delays.

“We enjoy a monopoly to practise law,”Johnston told the Canadian Bar Associationmeeting. “In return, we are duty-bound toserve our clients competently, to improvejustice and to continuously create the good.That’s the deal.”

As usual, the political debate is nearly

sterile. The NDP wants more judges, pros-ecutors, sheriffs and courthouses. Pour moremoney in, just like the school and healthsystems, says the party that hasn’t had a newidea in 30 years.

Bond did propose a new idea last week:Probation orders with conditions will soonbe available for those charged with publicdrunkenness under the Liquor Control andLicensing Act rather than the CriminalCode — although they would still have to goto court.

Perhaps the government could take acue from their recent revision of impaireddriving laws, giving police the ability to as-sess fines and impound vehicles on the spot.Perhaps by the time the next big drunkenriot starts to brew, police would actually beable to offer consequences.

Going around the court system is the cops’best bet these days.

Bull and buzzInsomnia, anxiety, allergic reactions, palpitations and

withdrawal. Is this a list of symptoms from an illegaldrug? No, it’s what adults have known for years are

the downsides of drinking too much coffee and tea.Unfortunately, now the kids are emulating their

parents by drinking energy drinks that typically havetwice the caffeine of regular pop and just about asmuch as a cup of drip coffee. The kids think thesedrinks are cool, their logos are eye-catching and theyare easy to get at corner stores and grocery outlets.

A single can of Red Bull or even Monster falls withinHealth Canada guidelines for caffeine consumption forolder teens but what happens if two or more are drunkin a day? Teens may then face some of the health con-cerns that adults face when they drink too much coffee(see above).

Should the government have taken a tougher stanceand prevented these drinks from being sold anywherebut pharmacies? It’s hard to say. The more adults try toregulate teen behaviour, the more challenges they face.And the fact that caffeine is mildly addictive is not loston companies marketing their products to kids in newand innovative ways. The popularity of these bever-ages among teens looking for a light buzz is reminis-cent of the older generations’ interest in cigarettes.

For teens, water is just plain boring, pop is old-schooland so is juice, although neither are great as they aretypically full of sugar.

Of course, energy drinks are not as bad as cigarettesand legions of adults are drinking caffeinated bever-ages without too many side effects.

But are we comfortable with kids picking up an en-ergy drink at lunch or on the way home from school?Probably not.

At the very least, parents should be educating them-selves as to what their children are ingesting. HealthCanada’s suggested limits for daily caffeine intake areroughly 2.5 mg per kilogram of body weight. This guide-line will mean little or nothing to the average kid look-ing for a bit of a buzz and acceptance among his peers.But parents can at least use the new content disclosurerules to find out whether their kids’ drinks measure up.

TRI-CITYCITYTRI-CITY LETTERSYYYY2 kudos for copsThe Editor,

While walking on Clarke Street inPort Moody, I came across a groupof men all staring into some busheswhere a young black bear was hid-ing. Apparently, these men had goneto work only to find out they couldn’tbecause this bear was happily eatingapples on the adjoining property. Theyhad watched for a while and then de-cided to try and shoo it away with loudnoises from a shovel and hammer. Thisonly succeeded in getting the bear torun and hide between the building andthe fence.

Someone had called the Port MoodyPolice and I am thrilled to tell you thatthese two officers not only did their jobbut had a great sense of humour.

When I initially saw the gun, I askedthe officer if he was going to kill thebear. He responded, “Oh yes, we aregoing to shoot it” and then laughed andsaid, “No, these are beanbag bullets.They won’t hurt the bear, just scare it.”He then showed me the bullet.

I was impressed that he took thetime to show and explain this to me.The two officers surveyed the areaaround the bear and decided whichwas the best direction to scare him off.One small pop was all I heard and thebear took off running.

The gentleman with the shovel andhammer proceeded to make noise tokeep the bear from returning to ClarkeStreet. The officers made sure the bearran across the alley into the bushes.

This story could have ended very dif-ferently.

At this point in the season, bears areeating their last meals trying to stockup for a long hibernation. With all theconstruction and depletion of theirland, they are coming into town to findfood. Most of these bears do not get re-located. This bear incident had a happyending but I hope that bear does not re-turn and get labelled a “problem bear”— we all know what happens to them.

Thanks to the Port Moody Police of-ficers who responded, they were greatguys.Calais McNabb, Port Moody

HIS KIND OF RCMPThe Editor,

At 1:15 a.m. on Oct. 5, I becameaware of a non-emergency, but none-theless worrisome, situation in frontof our home (across from a formergrow-op). After quietly observing for afew minutes, I decided to call the policeinstead of becoming involved myself.

Within 10 to 15 minutes, CoquitlamRCMP officers showed up, took chargeof the situation in an efficient, politeand expert manner.

Thank you, officers, well done in-deed. I was able to go back to sleepwondering what we would do if we didnot have such dedicated young officersto help us when we are in need andwatch over us.

That was my kind of RCMP.K. Bernaschek, Coquitlam

The Editor,There is a traffic challenge hap-

pening on Shaughnessy Street south-bound between Lougheed Highwayand the railway underpass:

People driving along Shaughnessytowards downtown in the outside lanesee a sign indicating that their lanewill be closed ahead. Overly politepeople often try to change lanes farbefore reaching the barrier ahead,thinking they would be rude to go tothe end of the lane and budge in.

That thinking is wrong.People need to move all the way

forward to the barrier so that traf-fic doesn’t build up behind them.Such build-up has been tying up theLougheed/Shaughnessy intersection.When cars fill up the lane that is even-tually blocked off, that lane is beingused for the purpose it was intended.Merging then usually occurs on a po-lite basis of every other car going for-ward at the narrowing point.Julie Roberts, Port Coquitlam

Merge sensibly on Shaughnessy St.

Step-by-Step Child Development Society celebrates 30 years with new programs in Coq.

Articles by Diane StrandbergTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Renovation fixer and televi-sion star Mike Holmes hassome competition in Grade 5

student Nicholas Pengelley.The 12-year-old recently gave

woodworking safety tips to hispeers at an after-school pro-gram run by Step-by-Step ChildDevelopment Society.

“Measure twice, cut once becauseyou can’t re-glue it,” Pengelley toldthe other children sternly as hedemonstrated the proper way ofcutting a two-by-four.

Soon, the girls drifted away toother demos on sewing and craftsbut some of the boys stuck aroundfor the woodworking workshop,which Pengelley, a mentor in Step-by-Step’s newest program, gavewith equal measures of passionand patience.

Pengelley is one of three ComoLake middle school students whoare mentors in the program for stu-dents aged 10 and up at the ScoutHall in Coquitlam’s Blue MountainPark. The other mentors areCaroline Pengelley, who is teachingsewing, and Angelina Gordo, thecraft expert.

The mentors are passing on theirskills to younger kids and, in re-turn, get gifts such as recreationpasses, so their participation in theprogram is more like a job.

“It’s a great way to build confi-dence and it helps them organizetheir learning,” said Debra Smith,

executive director of Step-by-Step.The organization has had to be

creative to meet the changing needsof families over the years and thementor program is just one of sev-eral new initiatives. Smith said itwas developed to address the gap inafter-school care for middle schoolkids, most of whom think they aretoo old to be supervised. Their par-ents, meanwhile, aren’t ready tolet their kids go home alone andso the program was developed tomeet a 12- to 13-year-old’s need forindependence and their parents’comfort level.

“These kids don’t want anythingto do with daycare,” Smith said,“but they may not be ready to be ontheir own.”

It’s just one of four programsStep-by-Step is launching this fallat the Blue Montain Scout Hall asit marks its 30th anniversary withnew services for families. Smithsaid the organization is recruit-ing new partners and the ScoutHall location is on Coquitlam’swest side, an area that hadn’t beentapped.

There is also a new skills en-hancement pre-school programstarting up at the hall, in additionto the mentorship program, and anout-of-school care program, whichhas room for more kids, as well asa new family resource centre open-ing this month that will run dailyfrom 10 to 11:30 a.m. with supportfrom the United Way.

The skills enhancement pro-gram is for children age three tofive years who are not currentlyreceiving services from a speechand language or occupational ther-apist and who might need a boostin their fine or gross motor skills,or more opportunities for social-izing with their peers, before kin-dergarten.

Smith said it’s staffed by a childspecialist, speech and languagetherapist and an occupational ther-apist and set up like an obstaclecourse with several stations.

“They have the children attendto certain tasks and learn to ma-nipulate their body in space so theycan handle the six hours of kinder-garten or school,” Smith said.

Strong Start facilitators in thearea will soon get information onthe program so they can refer par-ents whose children might be ableto benefit from the extra individu-alized support, she said.

In the three decades that Step-by-Step has been around to provideprograms and resources for fami-

lies, much has changed and Smithsaid the organization is constantlyadapting to meet demands for newservices.

When it started in 1979, the soci-ety’s mission was to provide pro-grams and services for familieswith children with special needsand was based at Harbour Viewelementary in Coquitlam. It hassince expanded to other areas ofCoquitlam, Port Moody and PortCoquitlam and broadened its man-date to include all children.

“Here we are at 30 years, we’veevolved and changed.” Smith said.

Step-by-Step Child Development Society is celebrating 30 years of service to fam-ilies in the Tri-Cities by opening new programs in the Scout Hall at Blue Mountain Park. Above, Nicholas Pengelley demonstrates woodworking skills to Emily Myers, Angelina Gordo and Brianna Yerxa. Top, Caroline Pengelley shows Lexa Galbraith how to sew as part of a mentorship program for middle school children.

The play’s the thing for youthin Detour

Young people with passionand something to say arewanted for a theatre groupcalled Detour, sponsored bythe PoCoMo Youth Society.

Tina D’Amelio, who isleading the group, says 10young people aged 14 to 18are needed for the project,which will culminate in alocal production in April.

“We feel the youth have astory and a message, and wewant to help them get it outthere,” said D’Amelio.

Previous acting expe-rience is not necessary,D’Amelio said, and dancingor singing experience is anasset, not a requirement be-cause the young people willwrite the production work-ing with whatever skills andtalents they have.

D’Amelio, who is also aSchool District 43 counsellor,said she took on the oppor-tunity to work with PoCoMoand the Detour group as away to get back into theatre.Before becoming a counsel-lor at Sir Frederick Bantingmiddle school, she was anactress and drama teacher,and ran drama clubs.

“When you’re an artistand you don’t get to do yourart, you have to find a wayto make it work,” D’Ameliosaid, noting she plans toteach the young people theskills they need to put ontheir own production.

Youth can be self referredor referred by a school, in-dividual or community or-ganization for the free pro-gram, which will rehearseThursdays from 7 to 9 p.m. atDouglas College, David LamCampus, C building, RoomC1028.

Help may be availablefor those with transporta-tion issues. The programis partially sponsored byWestminster Savings CreditUnion.

Ford’s ‘Hotel’ beautiful story of culture clash

Irecently picked up a copy of Hotel on the Cornerof Bitter and Sweet on the recommendationtof a friend. I read the book and am I ever glad

I did. This is one of those stories you wish wouldcontinue after you’ve finished the last page. It is sobeautifully written, it almost reads itself.

Set in Seattle, the story deals with Chinese-American man, Henry Lee. He has lived on theedge of Japantown for most of his life and after hiswife passes away, an unusual event happens as heis walking through the area. The old Panama Hotelis being restored and the new owners have foundthe belongings of a number of Japanese people— things that had been stored there prior to theirowners being sent to encampments during WorldWar II.

This discovery and the memories that ensuelead us to the story of Henry as a boy. His was atraditional family but his father sends him to theAmerican school so his son will be able to get aheadin the world.

It is not an easy transition.He learns to deal with bullies and those who

look down upon him. Henry is neither his father’sperfect Chinese son nor his schoolmates Americanequal. On the upside, he meets a wonderfulJapanese girl, Keiko, who faces the same prejudicesand they are two against the world at school.

When the Japanese attack Pearl Harbour, lifechanges for Henry, Keiko and their families.Henry’s father is very anti-Japanese because of theevents in China. He is appalled at his son’s friend-

ship with a Japanese girl and cuts him out of hislife. Henry becomes even closer to Keiko and herfamily, and this drives him to help his new friendsagainst the injustices they face.

This is only part of the story, though. Henry, awidower, needs to come to terms with his lonelinessand with his son, with whom he has never beenclose.

The story is, as the title states, both bitter andsweet. What I loved about it was how real the storyfelt, almost if it was someone you knew recallingtheir life, with its ups and downs, excitements andsorrows.

Author Jamie Ford has written a beautiful noveldescribing the clashes between cultures, eras andgenerations.

It reminds me of Snow Falling on Cedars ors TheHouse of Sand and Fog in how the stories deal withthe clash of cultures and forbidden love. Any ofthese three books would make excellent reads.

A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians thatis published every Wednesday. Silvana Harwood is

deputy director of Coquitlam Public Library.

Two of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of Acupuncture:• Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of Migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her

family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and now had taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture treatment was done on her over fi ve visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches.

• Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon with older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to ten times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptom had gone and he doesn’t have the urgency to visit the bathroom as often.

How do you resolve issues, concerns, demands or challenges? Small business owners are constantly managing multiple confl icts with everyone from customers, suppliers to regulators. It is how they deal with these issues that matters in their life and their business. I’ve always said that confl ict can be as good for you as a great piece of chocolate, because when you get to resolve it, the release and the relief that one can derive from it—both in the brain and in health is astonishing.

Centennial secondary graduate Nabil Amarshi, above, was home last week for the Canadian premiere of Teta, AlfMarra (Grandma, A Thousand Times) at the Vancouver International Film Festival, a Veritas Films documentary that he scored. The work is about Mahmoud Kaabour (top right) and his grandmother, who talk about her late husband.

Film at VIFF is a ‘full circle’ for composer

By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

About four years ago, NabilAmarshi was coming off a tourin the U.A.E. when he decided

he wasn’t quite ready to come home.The Coquitlam native was in Dubai

and found quite a lot of work aroundfor freelance musicians, especially inMiddle Eastern countries like Syria,Jordan, Qatar and Bahrain.

So he stayed.And he never looked back.Since then, the Centennial second-

ary grad (class of 2000) has kept busywith big annual projects, composingmusic and playing his bass.

Last year proved to be successfulwhen he and his ensemble, calledPeople Playing Music, were ap-proached by film director MahmoudKaabour to supply a score for his newwork, a 48-minute long documentarytitled Teta, Alf Marra (Grandma, AThousand Times).

The movie reflects on Kaabour’srelationship with his grandmotherand their love for her late husband,who was an accomplished violist andplayed with the greats in Beirut andother Middle Eastern countries untilthe 1980s.

Kaabour offered his grandfa-ther’s original improv recordings toAmarshi, which he intertwined inthe film with his own contemporarymusic.

The task was a challenge, he said.At that point, Amarshi had only

worked on student films and, thoughhe had lived in the region for a fewyears, he had never formally studied24-tone Arab music and didn’t know

how to compose it.But he had fellow musicians to

help: Besides his ensemble, Amarshigathered two Syrian percussionistsand a local violin soloist to build thesoundtrack.

Since the film debuted in 2010,Teta has won numerous accolades;recently, it took the top prize at theLondon International DocumentaryFestival and, this and last week, ithas been featured at the VancouverInternational Film Festival (www.viff.org). Its last screening is tomor-row (Thursday) at 6 p.m. at EmpireGranville 7 Cinema (855 Granville St.,Vancouver).

For Amarshi, who was at lastSaturday’s showing for the film’sCanadian premiere, having the docu-mentary at VIFF feels like a full cir-cle.

The son of Shabir Amarshi, a pastpresident of the Tri-Cities’ Chamberof Commerce, Nabil Amarshi grew upin Coquitlam, first playing the piano,then later, guitar and trumpet in theCentennial secondary band.

He picked up the bass at the highschool after hearing recordings fromjazz legend Miles Davis, who had abassist named Ron Carter in his 1960sband “and I just absolutely fell in lovewith him and his sound,” Amarshi re-called. “I started to play the bass andthat was it, really.”

A graduate of Humber Collegeof the Performing Arts in Toronto,Amarshi said he looks forward toworking more in the film industry.Currently, he’s lined up to write thesoundtrack for an Egyptian movie,titled The Art of Flying.

By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Nancie Green rarely goes on Facebook but, a fewyears back, it was suggested to her by a girlfriend touse the popular social media network to reconnectwith someone she had lost touch with.

That “someone” was David Miller, a Vancouverartist whom Green had known when he played in aband with her late sister — nearly 30 years ago.

The girlfriend knew that both Miller and Green,a Port Moody resident, were skilled in photographyand digital composition and thought they shouldmeet again to combine their talents.

The reunion proved successful and, two yearslater — along with Green’s other sister, Lanni Sulje,an oil and watercolour painter — they formed theLaNaDa Artists Faction, with the aim to work indifferent media but with common themes.

Their first exhibit, titled Three Art Harmony, wasstaged last year at The Grind and Gallery CoffeeBaron on Main Street in Vancouver.

For their second showcase, the faction will be atCoquitlam’s Place des Arts, where they will displayabout 30 pieces as part of their new collection, inthe Leonore Peyton Salon.

The exhibit opens tomorrow (Thursday), with agala reception to be held on Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. at theMaillardville facility.

Green said the partnership has spurred a lot ofproduction and creativity for the trio — not to men-tion, mutual support. Miller has a printer whileGreen and Sulje help with framing (the sisters used

to own PoCo Place Gallery).Sometimes, the artists will visit a spot and use

their respective media to interpret a scene — thus,the title of their latest collaboration, Never a Place.

“David has a unique eye: he will photographsomething in Vancouver that’s not your normalpostcard shots,” Green said, adding, “We have anartists’ statement for this show [quoting writer andpainter Henry Miller] that reads: ‘Destination isnever a place but, rather, a new way of looking atthings.’

“We, as artists, as well as the audience, bring ourown experiences to it.”

Green, who also does fantasy and science fic-tion artwork, said the LaNaDa show will highlightplaces from Vancouver to Venice. One of her pieces,titled Against the Sky, details a historic building inthe old city of Matera, Italy, which was the back-drop used in Mel Gibson’s blockbuster, The Passionof the Christ.

Meanwhile, also starting Thursday, Place desArts will exhibit Everything but the Light (oil paint-tings) by Carly Bates in the Atrium Gallery as wellas My Heaven (acrylics and oils on canvas) by ShinJae Yu in the Mezzanine Gallery.

• For more information, visit Place des Arts at1120 Brunette Ave. or call at 604-664-1636.

Stage 43 opens witha romantic-comedy

By Larry PrunerTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

One of the best ways to beat thedreary, rainy days that dog us thistime of year is to shelter yourself inlive theatre — and laugh.

“We do surveys asking our audi-ences what they prefer to see andcomedies are generally at the topof the list,” said Stage 43’s JimHarrison, producer of the roman-tic-comedy Ethan Claymore, whichhits Coquitlam’s Evergreen CulturalCentre stage tomorrow night at 8p.m, for the first of seven shows tokick off the troupe’s 30th season.

Ethan is a widower of five yearsand living a solitary life as an eggfarmer when Douglas, his friendand neighbour, grows determinedto get his life back on track. Douglasawakes Ethan late one night and of-fers him a must-do list to break hisslump and, before long, gets an un-expected ally to help: the ghost ofEthan’s deceased brother.

Both try their best to show Ethan

that life is not be taken for granted,with proof coming when an attrac-tive, intelligent female school teachercomes calling. Scripted by seasonedplaywright Norman Foster and setin small-town Ontario in 1978, EthanClaymore is a true celebration of theimportance of friends and family.

Foster himself says, “It’s the sto-ries that touch an audience’s heartas well as its funnybone that are themost rewarding.”

And offers Ric Wellwood of CFLPRadio, “[It’s] a story which warmsthe heart, coaxes the occasional tearand paints the kind of world wethink we deserve.”

Ethan Claymore runs Thursdaythrough Saturday at Evergreen (1205Pinetree Way) at 8 p.m., along witha 2 p.m. Sunday performance. It re-turns Oct. 19 to 22 at the same venueand night time start.

Coquitlam Express posted a pair of key victories but star forward Alex Petan was the biggest winner last weekend.

Petan rifled in three goals in the Express’s 6-3 victory Friday over the Langley Rivermen, then scored a dynamite, top-shelf marker Sunday in his team’s 4-3 upset of the Powell River Kings.

The results at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex boosted Coquitlam’s win streak to three games and culminated in

Petan, 19, signing a scholar-ship offer from Michigan Tech University.

“He has been a workhorse for us,” Express assistant coach Grant Kerr relayed via the team’s website. “His dili-gence is his off-season work-outs has paid huge dividends as he’s stronger and playing with more con-fidence.”

Against Langley, Petan’s third goal proved the winner and gave the Express a 4-3 mar-gin heading into the third period, where

Malcolm McKinney and Coda Engbar netted powerplay goals less than two minutes apart to seal the win.

After totalling 33 points in 50 games with the Express last season, Petan already has 12 points, including seven goals, in seven outings thus far this campaign. Brady Shaw also struck net for the winners. The Express outshot the Rivermen by a lopsided 42-21 count.

Versus Powell River, Shaw’s shorthanded tally 7:30 into the third period proved the winner as Coquitlam managed only 20 shots on the Kings’ cage while surrendering 30

on their own. The 6-2 Kings visit 4-3 Coquitlam again Friday, 7 p.m.

I C I N G : Attendance for Friday night’s g a m e a g a i n s t 2-5 Langley was 7 3 2 , w h i l e i t dipped to 605 for Sunday’s mati-nee affair versus Powell River.

Zack Holstrom of the Coquitlam Express breaks in alone on Powell River Kings goalie Jamie Phillips during a B.C. Hockey League battle Sunday at Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. The Express won, 4-3.

Express, Petan power way up the ranks

First, the Port Moody Black Panthers blan-keted the Ridge Meadows Flames. Then the Cats got utterly smothered by the Richmond Sockeyes.

The Cats followed up a gritty 4-3 over the host Flames on Friday with a humbling 9-0 defeat to the surging Sockeyes on Saturday at the Port Moody Rec Complex.

The results left the Cats 3-1-2 atop the five-team Harold Brittain Conference standings. The Sockeyes, meanwhile, improved to a perfect 6-0-0 with all of their victories, amaz-ingly, being shutouts.

Against the struggling 0-7-0 Flames, Julian Klaric bagged a shorthanded goal with fewer than four minutes late to net the deciding

goal.Dylan Friel scored twice earlier for the

Cats, with Martin Campbell’s powerplay goalwith 6:24 to play knotting the count 3-3 andsetting the stage for Klaric’s heroics.

Versus Richmond, the visitors outshot theCats by a staggering 60-22 margin, including25-8 in the middle stanza.

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SOCCER PLAYERS of the WEEK of the WEEK

D5231

THEALLNEW

TAYLOR BORGHESISCoquitlam Metro-Ford InternazionaleTAYLOR BORGHESIS, has had a strong season as the sweeper of the Internazionale Under 18 team. His consistent performances, his agility and quick thinking have enabled him to achieve a great deal of success with the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club. Taylor is the type of player that never gives up and fi ghts hard for every ball. Taylor’s determination and resilience have been huge contributing factors in him being chosen as Metro-Ford Player of the week. For his outstanding performances over the past few of weeks, TAYLOR BORGHESIS has been selected as Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week!

JESSICA ARTHURCoquitlam Metro-Ford DiablosDespite the fact that the Under 17 Diablos dropped a 1-0 decision to the very strong Vancouver Road Runners, defender JESSICA ARTHUR turned in an amazing performance. The fi rst half was dominated by the speed and skill of the Vancouver team and only some tenacious defending on the part of Jessica kept the scoreline respectable. The Road Runners’ vaunted attack was thwarted time after time by the Metro-Ford defence, led by Jessica. Not only did she cause numerous turnovers, but she also displayed some excellent leadership qualities in guiding her backline. For her excellent performance this past weekend, JESSICA ARTHUR has been chosen Coquitlam Metro-Ford Female Player of the Week.

Coquit lam’s Car lo Basso keeps racking up the goals, and his SFU Clan keep piling up the wins.

The Clan university men’s soccer team won a wild game Saturday, de-feating host Hawaii Pacific University, 5-1.

For SFU, it was another win against a ranked team as the Clan are polled third in the NCAA Div. 2 soccer list to Hawaii Pacific’s fifth in the West Region rankings of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

With the win, SFU now sits at 11-0-0, including 5-0-0 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play. Hawaii Pacific is 9-4 on the year –– 6-1 in confer-ence play.

While the team had to battle one of their tough-est opponents of the sea-son, they were also up against the heat and a raucous crowd of over 300 HPU fans.

“Tonight’s match was one of our best perfor-mances this season,” said SFU head coach Alan Koch. “Our team had to deal with tough heat, a tough opponent and a tough crowd. It was an intense game and I’m proud of the way our team battled to come out on top.”

SFU jumped out to an early two goal lead in the first half, netting goals in the 19th and 27th min-utes before Hawaii cut the margin to 2-1 at halftime. In the second half, it was all Simon Fraser as they scored three unanswered goals, including Basso’s eighth of the season.

DISTASIO WINSPort Moody’s Justina

DiStasio of the SFU Clan won the women’s 155-pound weight class at the Oklahoma City Duels wrestling meet Saturday.

DiStasio led the Clan with three wins by deci-sion, one technical fall and one by forfeit.
