coquitlam now - january 11, 2012

A Tri-Cities daycare operator was chargedMonday morning after an infant boy died inher care nearly a year ago.

On Jan. 17, 2011, Coquitlam RCMP werecalled to investigate the death of one-year-oldArto Howley at an unlicensed home-baseddaycare in River Springs. A police cruiserremained parked outside a Coquitlam homein the 1300 block of Shaughnessy Street forseveral days.

Almost one year later, Crown coun-sel approved charges against 48-year-oldMaria McFerran, who ran the Rattle-N-RollDaycare.

McFerran is charged with criminal negli-gence causing death, failing to provide thenecessaries of life and obstructing justice.She was taken into custody Monday morningand made her first court appearance laterthat day at Port Coquitlam provincial court.

Cpl. Jamie Chung said the investigationwas complex because it involved several dif-ferent agencies. He did not provide informa-tion about the cause of death.

“Charge approval is an important mile-stone in what has been a devastating incidentfor the victim’s family. And this is also a dif-ficult file for even our most seasoned majorcrimes investigators and our victim servicesworkers,” Chung said Monday.

“But our work is not over yet. TheCoquitlam RCMP major crimes investigatorsand our victim services workers will be help-ing the case to move forward in the courtin the months to come. Unfortunately thistragedy is not over for the victim’s familyeither.”

At the time of the incident, the FraserHealth Authority confirmed that Rattle-N-Roll did not have a licence to offer childcare.However, daycares are required to be licensedwhen they have more than two children whoare not blood relatives of the person over-seeing childcare. If they have two or fewer

The Wildlife Rescue Association’s first “patient”of 2012 arrived in rather dramatic fashion onNew Year’s Day.

It all started shortly after New Year’s Eve, whenPort Moody bus driver Thomas Stryj was headinghome around one in the morning after his nightshift. Stryj was driving down Hastings Street, closeto Kensington, when he spotted something in themiddle of the road and swerved suddenly.

“It looked like a small box, and as I got closer Isaw it was an owl,” Stryj said. “Cars were whizzingby, just missing him literally by inches.”

Stryj turned back, got out of the car and triedto coax the barred owl off the road, but it couldn’tfly. So Stryj took a blanket from his car, bundledthe bird and drove it to Burnaby’s Wildlife RescueAssociation. But at about 1:30 a.m., the centre wasclosed, so Stryj found a kennel behind the building,placed the owl inside and wrote a note for staff.

“He was scared. He had his beak open,” Stryj said.“He was such a beautiful owl, and I was just lookingin his eyes, and I was talking to him, and he calmeddown.”

Stryj said he stayed for about 20 minutes, just try-ing to comfort the animal.

“I didn’t want to leave. He was so beautiful,” Stryjsaid. “I was talking to him saying, ‘It will be alright.They’ll come help you soon,’ and he just listened andtilted his head. It was so cute.”

Ana Mendes, one of the wildlife rehabilitators,arrived for work the next morning and heard theowl making a ruckus in the kennel, trying to escape.She took it inside for an examination and found itwas suffering from a concussion but did not haveany broken bones. The owl is expected to make a fullrecovery and should be released in the wild soon.

The association gets several owls this time of year,according to spokesperson Yolanda Brooks.

“Food is scarce, and they have to hunt for longerand over wider terrain, which brings them intourban areas more often,” she said. “Young owls havejust left their parents and are still learning how tofend for themselves in the wild.” Some owls, suchas Northern saw-whet owls, come down from higherelevations and suddenly have to deal with people,buildings and cars, she added.

Brooks said this barred owl was likely hit by a car.At a time when most people just want to go homeand go to bed, this bus driver cared enough to stopand help, she said.

“If he hadn’t intervened, the owl would have died.Thanks to Tom’s actions, this barred owl had beengiven a second shot at life.”

For Stryj, leaving the owl in the street wasunthinkable.

“I care about animals. I hate to see anythingdistressed,” he said. “They all need our help. Ifeverybody in the world pitched in just a little bit, theworld wouldn’t be a bad place.”

Stryj already donates to the Wildlife RescueAssociation and has previously brought in twopigeons he picked up while working.

This barred owl was likely hit by a car. It is recovering, and will be released back into the wild.

On Oct. 13, 2009, a seven-year-old BramblewoodElementary student whohad Aleksandr Plehanov fora substitute teacher told hermom that she’d had a fun dayat school with candy and toysand the opportunity to be aspecial helper for Plehanov.

The mother, who testifiedMonday at Plehanov’s B.C.Provincial Court trial in PortCoquitlam, was “surprised”when her daughter said thatPlehanov pulled her on to hislap and put his hand underher shirt, where he rubbedher belly. The girl said that ithad happened twice.

In a police interview playedin court, the girl told an offi-cer the touching was “kind ofweird for a teacher to do.”

The girl also told policeshe didn’t say anything toPlehanov because she didn’t

want to embarrass him.When asked Monday by

Crown prosecutor WendyVan Tongeren Harvey whyPlehanov would be embar-rassed, the girl answered“because you’re not supposedto do that.”

The girl’s mother reportedthe incident to the schooland according to a Freedom

of Information release from2010, an internal investigationtook place and Plehanov wasgiven a union advocate. Hewas disciplined, but continuedto teach. The police were notnotified.

The girl’s mother wasalmost in tears as shedescribed for the court anincident that occurred in June2010, after she’d reported herdaughter’s alleged abuse tothe RCMP.

As she sat in her liv-ing room she saw a car shebelieved belonged to Plehanovparked facing her home witha man inside. She called 911.The woman thought Plehanovwas trying to intimidate herfamily or see her daughter.

“I was distressed, scared. Iwas angry. I was shocked andI feared for my family andmy daughter,” she said in an

unsteady voice.Plehanov was charged with

criminal harassment in con-nection with that incident.

Three girls who were stu-dents at Glen Elementaryhave also testified at the trial.

On Monday one of the girlsalleged that Plehanov touchedher bottom as they were cor-recting her math work. Shesaid he touched her shoulderwhen she got a wrong answerand her bum if she got a pageof problems correct. She saidshe thought Plehanov was“trying to be nice.”

Last week one girl testifiedthat as she stood at Plehanov’sdesk, she felt him rub herbuttocks and pelvic area. Asecond girl said Plehanov“massaged” her shouldersand put his hand inside herT-shirt as she sat at her desk,and squeezed her leg between

his two legs when she stoodat his desk. The three allegedincidents occurred on March10, 2010, and involved girlsfrom the same class.

One more girl from a dif-ferent school has also madeallegations in connection withsomething that happened in2008. All of the girls wereseven or eight years old at thetime of the incidents.

Plehanov faces five chargesof sexual assault, five of sexualinterference and one charge ofcriminal harassment.

According to the B.C.College of Teachers website,Plehanov’s teaching certificatehas been suspended since May2010 because of disciplinaryproceedings and he is current-ly ineligible to teach in B.C.

The trial continues.— Jennifer Saltman

on the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce andnow currently with the Eagle Ridge HospitalFoundation. I think I provide a good balanceand now is the right time.”

A Centennial Secondary grad and cur-rent branch manager of PoCo’s WestminsterSavings Credit Union, Marsden ran in 2009against Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA DianeThorne and lost by fewer than 700 votes.

“The lesson that I take away from 2009 isreally about getting out there and talking topeople, meeting everybody, making sure thatwe’re knocking on every door — it truly isa grassroots approach,” he said. “Politics, asmuch as it has changed with social media, istruly based on getting out, meeting people,looking them in the eye and finding out whatissues are important to them and asking themfor their support.”

As for what those issues are, Marsden citedthe economy and Premier Christy Clark’s“Families First” agenda. Marsden has two kidsaged 10 and 13.

“I’m in banking, so I’m talking to moms anddads every single day. And [the conversation]is about finances — how are they going to becomfortable that their jobs are secure, how are

they going to be comfortable that the money’sgoing to be there to help pay the rent, pay themortgage, take care of the kids and get themactive in sports. Economy is going to be No. 1.”

Should Marsden receive the party’s backing,he will be pitted against former Port MoodyMayor Joe Trasolini (NDP) and ChristineClarke (BC Conservatives).

“There’s no doubt that [Trasolini’s] gotname recognition,” Marsden said. “What I’mgoing to focus on is the fact that in my timewith the Chamber of Commerce I’ve provenmyself able to work collaboratively with allthree cities and Anmore and Belcarra to ensurethat we’re trying to deliver the things that theyall need. I think that will be a key differentiatorbetween what I bring to the table and what JoeTrasolini does.”

Marsden said a firm deadline has not beenset to file nomination papers, nor has he heardof others who might seek the nomination.

A press release issued from the Marsdencamp Tuesday included the backing of a coupleof community members: Wendy Cooper andMike Easton.

“I believe Dennis will be an excellent MLA;he brings a balance of business expertise andinvolvement in this community,” Cooper said.

A byelection date has not yet been set.

“While we understand thatthere are questions and con-cerns in the community, thereis very little that we can sayabout this case or about our

McFerran has been releasedfrom custody, and her nextcourt appearance is scheduledfor Jan. 18.

Construction will soon be underway for anew Pitt River Middle Community School, fea-turing a neighbourhood learning centre.

The existing school needs extensive andexpensive seismic upgrades. As a result, theprovince decided to build a replacement schooland demolish the current school after con-struction is complete.

The $20-million replacement school will bebuilt to LEED (Leadership in EnvironmentalDesign) gold standard with a capacity of 450students. Goals include optimizing energyperformance and maximizing natural lightand views. Technology will be integrated intoall learning spaces, and the school will alsoinclude community gardens and an outdooramphitheatre.

As well, the school will be home to a neigh-bourhood learning centre, which will host anAboriginal welcoming centre, a sport co-ordin-ation and development centre, and a FraserHealth community programming office. Aswell, it will include offices and a classroom forthe community school program, plus a satelliteoffice for settlement workers.

The project is expected to be complete in the

summer of 2013.School board chair Melissa Hyndes expressed

her appreciation for the new school, which willact as a community hub.

“This much-anticipated new facility will bemore than a safe, comfortable, environment-ally responsible school,” Hyndes said in a pressrelease.

“It will become a gathering place for com-munity members of all ages and interests.”

Education Minister George Abbott visitedthe Port Coquitlam school during a ground-breaking event Tuesday morning.

“This new school will feature aNeighbourhood Learning Centre offering pro-grams and services for the whole communityand will be built to support new technologyand the flexibility to embrace collaborativelearning, a central idea within our new B.C.’seducation plan,” Abbott said.

Pitt River Middle Community School ori-ginally opened in 1964 as Mary Hill JuniorSecondary school.

It was renamed in 1996 after being convert-ed to a middle school.

In 2006, it received community schooldesignation due to its strong local ties andprograms offered jointly with non-profits andgovernment agencies.

For Ria Renouf, Tuesday was the first timesince Jan. 21, 2010, that she woke up thinkingit would be a good day.

That’s because the Burnaby RCMP told herand her family on Monday they had made anarrest in the death of Renouf’s 73-year-oldaunt, Virginia Itubay, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver while crossing the busy inter-section of Willingdon Avenue and KitchenerStreet.

“There isn’t even a word to describe how Ifeel,” Renouf said about the arrest of 29-year-old Coquitlam resident Vincenzo MoscatoPeragine. “I felt everything from being happy,to being upset … to thinking ‘Why did thishappen?’”

Peragine was charged in VancouverProvincial Court on Tuesday morning withfailing to remain at the scene of an accidentcausing death with intent to escape civil orcriminal liability. His next court appearancewill be Jan. 31.

According to Burnaby RCMP spokespersonInsp. Tim Shields, a core team of five investiga-tors worked on the case for the past two years,with that number ballooning up to 20 at times.

“Investigators from the Burnaby RCMPtraffic section and serious crimes sectionnever gave up in bringing closure to VirginiaItubay’s family,” said Shields. He said the leadinvestigator, a journeyman mechanic by trade,pushed the investigation ahead “inch by inchover the last two years.”

Shields also thanked the public for continu-ing to offer tips about the case. It was a tipabout the car that ultimately led to the arrest.

Aha! I think we now know a key source of NDPleader Adrian Dix’s professed desire to bring a“modest” approach to governing.

Why, it’s none other than his mentor and ex-boss:former premier Glen Clark!

After staying out of the public eye for a decade,Clark gave a wide-ranging interview with my GlobalBC colleague Jas Johal, and in it he showed he hasa far different perspective as a businessman than hedid as a politician.

The Clark of today seems lessenthralled with government being theanswer to so many problems, thinksunions need to be more flexible and co-operative with management and under-stands the business of business is tomake money and profits.

When he was premier, governmentintervention in the economy was a keypart of his agenda. So were high taxes onbusinesses, another thing Clark the busi-nessman doesn’t like today. Governmentis a big operation, and Clark is now leery of itseffectiveness.

“I have less confidence in big bureaucracies,government or business, because they become sounwieldy and difficult to manage,” he told Johal.

He still believes in fundamental rights for work-ers, but warns unions have to change attitudes inthe modern economy.

“In the world we’re in now … labour really has tothink hard about how they approach private busi-ness,” he said.

He thinks Crown corporations exist to make

money for government and not to simply “treatpeople better” without making a profit.

And he’s acutely aware that free trade and global-ization are here to stay, and businesses have to adaptquickly to change (it’s this kind of attitude that isviewed with horror by a number of NDP activists).

Clark is, of course, the right-hand man of the god-father of B.C. business, Jimmy Pattison. When Clarkwas hired by Pattison soon after leaving office in a

cloud of controversy, many people wereshocked by the appointment.

But I wasn’t surprised at all, givenClark’s intelligence and instincts and thefact that Pattison had long before voicedhis support for him (which infuriatedthe B.C. Liberals in the run-up to the1996 election, which Clark won).

And I’m not surprised Clark has risenthrough the ranks of Pattison’s empireto become company president. Clark isthe type of guy who tends to dominatewhatever group he happens to be part of.

The question that arises now, of course, is whatkind of influence will this ex-politician, who has sig-nificantly changed his philosophy, have on the manwho has a very good shot at taking on the same jobhe used to have?

The ties between Clark and Dix are deep and sig-nificant. Clark always struck me as a mentor of sortsfor Dix, as the two men forged a close bond between1991 (when Dix began working for him as a minis-terial assistant) and 1999, when Dix was forced toquit as his chief of staff.

In 2005, Dix ended up taking over Clark’s old rid-

ing of Vancouver-Kingsway and the two remain closefriends.

So it’s hard to think that a more conservativeClark won’t have a significant impact on Dix’s ownpolitical philosophy.

Although the B.C. Liberals are trying to portrayDix as some kind of far-left socialist menace, theonly evidence — if you can call it that — to back upthat assertion is dredging up the track record of theNDP government of the 1990s.

Dix has offered precious little evidence of his ownto help them. He’s proposed raising corporate taxesto the levels the B.C. Liberals themselves establishedin 2008, which is hardly a radical socialist policy.

Instead, Dix is talking about narrowing theactivities of government instead of expanding them— just as his old boss advocates.

So don’t be surprised if Dix turns out to be closerto the new Glen Clark than the old one: more mod-erate, business-friendly and less activist.

After all, if one of the top figures in the formerNDP government can change so much, why can’tanother?

By the way, Johal’s three-part series on Clark andPattison — entitled “The Odd Couple: the Premierand the Billionaire” — can be seen on Global BC’swebsite. It contains more extensive footage of theinterview with Clark.

Little evidence NDP leader a socialist menace

Just 20 years ago, we looked to computers and theInternet to make socializing, business and educationmore efficient. They would be more ecological forreasons such as reducing paper use, travel, trans-port, etc.

But now we learn that the massivedemand for technological use has avery dark side. The use of the web nowaccounts for two per cent of the electri-city generated on Earth. That’s equiva-lent to the fifth-largest country in theworld. It is now the fastest-growing source of carbondioxide emissions worldwide. The three largest datacentres are huge, with the largest one being fivetimes the size of a box retailer or about half a mil-lion square feet. The top data companies are usingclose to 500 megawatts of electricity. More electri-

city is used to cool down the main frame centres.And the real dirty kicker is that the biggest cen-

tres are in North Carolina, where coal is the sourcefor producing the energy for all the technology.

So how green do you feel about yourtechnology now? Three Rs are comingat you again. Reduce your use of tech-nologies, return old stuff for recycling,refuse unnecessary upgrades that takemore power, storage, etc.

Our footprints from what we do areoften countries away, but they impact the world thesame. New year’s resolution: Think green before youpower up or leave technologies running. And writeletters as fast as you can.

The BC Liberals finally have a contender inthe upcoming byelection for Port Moody-Coquitlam: former Tri-Cities Chamber of

Commerce president Dennis Marsden.Since Iain Black announced last August

he was resigning as MLA to head up theVancouver Board of Trade, this once-strongLiberal riding has been a big question mark.

Then in November, almost immediately afterwrapping up his duties as mayor, Port Moody’sJoe Trasolini jumped into the race as an NDPcandidate. Party leader Adrian Dix was beam-ing at Trasolini’s official announcement in PortMoody, and why not? Trasolini has name rec-ognition, a long history as both councillor andmayor and — whether you like his politics ornot — a reputation as someone who fights forhis constituents.

Things got even more interesting when theBC Conservatives, a party few had paid atten-tion to until recently, chose Christine Clarkeas their candidate. This political newcomergot more than her fair share of ink and screentime, since her name is almost identical to thatof Premier Christy Clark — who used to holdthe riding Black resigned from. Just a coinci-dence, the Conservatives assured us.

Today (Wednesday), things go full circle, asthe premier is set to return to the riding for anannouncement. On the surface, the visit is soClark can outline the government’s responseto the Community Gaming Grant Review.

But really, Clark could have chosen anyriding in B.C. to make the announcementfrom. Even the one next door, Coquitlam-Maillardville, would have made more sense,since it’s home to a casino.

Clark’s visit, and the fact that the Liberalsare running attack ads against both the NDPand the Conservatives, shows how critical itis for the party to stay alive in Port Moody-Coquitlam.

All three parties are ready to go. Now allwe need is a date for the byelection. Hang on,because it should be an interesting ride.

Community bus neededI am writing in echo to Melina Lake’s let-

ter on Friday, Jan. 6, in which she stated thatthere is a lack of bus service in PoCo.

Not only are there infrequent buses runningfrom Braid to the Shaughnessy area, thereis a stretch of overtwo kilometres onShaughnessy Street(which is a mainstreet from north tosouth), from CitadelDrive to Pitt RiverRoad, without anypublic transit. It is not uncommon to see resi-dents of this area hiking up the rather steeproad in order to get to a bus stop, to go homeor to get to work, which may take a 30-minutewalk or more for someone.

Many times I have seen students, kids andseniors treading in the cold weather and on theicy snow. Even on a good day, the walk couldbe a challenge for many.

There may not be enough residents on thisstretch of the road to fill up a big bus. CanTransLink please consider a community buspassing by this route and increase the fre-quency of the buses?

Don’t let your dog walk youI am a dog owner who walks a shepherd

cross and a pug chihuahua cross, both onnylon leashes. I am also a personal dog walkerwho walks a boxer on a nylon leash.

Some dog owners or walkers also use nylonleashes, but lately I have noticed a rising num-ber of people who use retractable leashes.

I hate retractable leashes. There is absolutelyno need for your dog to be on a retractable

leash when you are walking in the city throughbusy streets and sidewalks because:

1) It’s unsafe for your dog. If your dog bolts,it has more than enough leash to run into traf-fic.

2) It can be dangerous to you and otherpeople walking by. Many retractable leashescan reach lengths between five and eightmetres, meaning they can easily becometangled around people, other dogs, your owndog, trees, etc.

3) Even if your dog is friendly, other dogs onleashes may not be. When Fluffy goes racingover to say hi to another dog on leash, it couldmean a dog fight because the dog that is beingcharged will view the charge as a challenge. It

also takes much longer to “reel in” the retract-able leash as opposed to tightening up on aregular nylon leash. I have had to step betweenmy dogs and a charging little dog on a retract-able leash numerous times because by the timethe owner realizes what their dog is doing, thedog is already four feet ahead of them.

4) Retractable leashes let your dog walk you.They do not teach dogs any leash manners.Some people like to use them on puppies sothe puppies have the freedom to sniff around.The problem is when those puppies grow up tobe 50-plus pounds, you will not be able to con-trol them on a regular leash because they willbe used to walking in any direction they want.

So to dog owners and walkers, please be

more aware of the type of leash you are usingand understand the potential consequences.

Donations going to despotsBefore anyone feels the need to donate more

money to the Haiti disaster relief fund, takethe debacle going on in this country into con-sideration. According to a recent report fromUNICEF, $2.25 billion has been funnelled intoHaiti, including $232 million from Canada.

Roger Annis of the Canada Haiti ActionNetwork was quoted in a recent newspaperarticle as saying, “It’s really hard to quantifywhat’s happening in Haiti because there’s anabsence of real concrete facts and statistics.”

Five-hundred thousand people are still liv-ing in tent cities, which lack adequate sanitaryfacilities, food and clothing. Violence, especial-ly sexual violence against women, is a seriousproblem.

If donating money to disaster relief funds isa way of easing your social conscience, thengo for it. But if you think that this money isactually going to its intended purpose, you aresorely mistaken. Since 1957, when FrancoisDuvalier became president, this country hasbeen governed by utterly and absolutely cor-rupted governments.

We have invaded Iraq and Afghanistanand supported rebels in Libya to overthrowGadhafi. Were the leaders of these nations anyless brutal and oppressive than the presidentsof Haiti?

When we have homelessness, children livingin poverty and a need for food banks in thiscountry, it sickens me to think that money isbeing fed to the despotic rulers of Haiti.

The Coquitlam RCMP arereceiving accolades for theiraccomplishments in trafficsafety.

The B.C. Association ofChiefs of Police traffic safetycommittee presented the localRCMP traffic services withan Outstanding Traffic-TeamEffort award.

“Our success is largelybased on intelligence-led andevidence-based traffic enforce-ment. By working with thedetachment’s crime analystteam, we identified collisionhot spots and causation fac-tors. In addition to focusingon the most significant localroad safety risk factors, weare also able to evaluate oureffectiveness and adjust ourtactics as needed,” Staff Sgt.Dave Stewart said in a pressrelease. “We have achieved aregion-leading reduction incollisions for 2009 and 2010of 30 per cent. It translatesinto lower crash-relatedfatalities and serious injuriesin the patrolling area of theCoquitlam RCMP.”

In 2011, Coquitlam RCMPinvestigated three deaths and18 serious injuries as a resultof crashes. These numbers aredown significantly from fiveyears ago, when there were 12deaths and 61 injuries.

“We realized that evenone death is one too many,”Stewart said. “We are work-ing to gain more resourcesin our traffic services sectionand continue to deploy our

resources strategically tomake our roads safer.”

The traffic team also

increased safety through itsrecent winter CounterAttackcampaign. At least 42 drivers

were taken off the road fordriving under the influence ofdrugs or alcohol. As well, at

least 800 drivers were chargedunder the Motor Vehicle Actfor unsafe driving behaviours,

such as running red lights,unsafe lane changes andexcessive speeding.

Arts centrehosts new exhibits

Transformations and transitionsmeet curiosity in exhibits at the PortMoody Arts Centre throughout themonth.

Maegan Elise’s mixed media exhib-it, “Goodnight Goodluck,” is housedin the main gallery and consists ofdrawings and paintings based on therecent earthquake and tsunami inJapan.

“The subject matter tries not tobe specific but rather a summationof my feelings on being a voyeur oftragedy and the unfolding of time,”she said in a press release.

The 3D Gallery is playing hostto the “land art form photography”exhibit by Chris Mackenzie.

Using locally sourced, naturalmaterials, Mackenzie just finishedtwo land art sculptures last weekendthat are on display at the arts centreand outside of Port Moody City Hall.

“As an art form, I find myselfdrawn to land art precisely becauseof its temporary, ephemeral and iso-lated nature,” Mackenzie said. “Theidea that a piece I’ve made will begone within hours or days and thatno one is likely to see it is a fascinat-ing experience. Photography remainscentral to my work because of theephemeral and situational nature ofland art.”

Rosemary Burden’s exhibit,“Breeding Ground,” is featured inthe Plum Gallery and serves as areflection of her fascination with the“scientific concepts of energy andrepetition.”

Burden’s attention to detail issimilar to the concepts and patternsused by Dr. Hermann Rorschach toevoke psychological responses fromhis patients.

The “Cabinet of Curiosity” roundsout the offerings at the arts centre.

The concept is rooted inRenaissance Europe, when collectorswould assemble objects to be viewedand appreciated rather than analyzedand classified. To that end, AngelaGooliaff is creating her own cabinetstocked full of illustrations thatreveal her inspirations as an artist.

All of the exhibits run until Feb. 9.

HOW IT WORKSLow Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxicand non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminousand laser diodes. When placed in contact with the skin, this energy safelypenetrates the tissue. At an intracellular level, the light is transformedinto biochemical energy. Cells use this energy to repair and regeneratethemselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

The new year represents atime of renewal - and for manyof us, it’s specifically aboutrenewing our resolutions tolose weight. Indeed, losingweight is one of the popularresolutions every new year,largely because dropping thatexcess weight is, for mostpeople, one of the hardestthings to do. Now far be itfrom us to discourage peoplefrom dieting, since there aremany benefits associated withmaintaining a healthy weight.But that said, a new study pub-lished in the journal Circulationsuggests that keeping fit mightbe a lot more important thanlosing weight, at least if youwant to add years to your life.

The study involved morethan 14,000 men with an aver-age age of 44 years. The menwere subject to at least twomedical examinations overa six-year period in whichchanges to their physical fitness

(assessed on a tread-mill),body mass index, percentagebody fat and other health andlifestyle factors were measured.

They were then subject toa followup over more than11 years. By the end of thisperiod, the researchers foundthat maintaining a good fit-ness level, rather than a goodweight, was most important inavoiding the grim reaper.

Indeed, men who main-tained their fitness between thetwo medical examinations were27 per cent less likely to dieof any cause and 30 per centless likely to die of heart dis-ease than those whose fitnessdeteriorated. And those whoimproved their fitness levelwere 42 per cent less likely todie of any cause and 39 percent less likely to die ofcardiovascular disease thanthose who failed to keep fit.

Perhaps the most strikingthing of all, though, was thatthese findings were not affectedif the men gained (or lost)weight during the two examina-tions. The findings held steady,which suggests that exercisecan help people live longer,even if they are overweight.

Now as always, there are afew important caveats. Perhapsmost important, most of themen in the study were either ofnormal weight or overweight,but not obese. This studywas not, therefore, capableof deter-mining if weight lossamong obese people can con-tribute to decreased mortalityrates - and there is reason tobelieve it can.

It’s also not entirely clearif similar results would beobtained in a study of women -though lead author Duck-chulLee believes they would be - orin minority groups or those

who, unlike the studysubjects, are not membersof the middle or upperclasses. And, of course,since this study looked atmortality rather thanmorbidity, it didn’t assessif weight loss contributes tolower rates of sickness -something else that isbelieved to be the case.

These caveats give usgood reason not to abandonour efforts at maintaining ahealthy weight.

But similarly, the studygives us yet more evidenceof the literally life-savingbenefits of exercise

- of the truth of the adagethat exercise can not onlyadd life to our years,but years to our lives.

Turn off TV and get active. Keep screens out of child’s roomA recent study released in the journal

Pediatrics looks at mounting research show-ing that a child’s media use may be linked toits body weight, not only because kids don’t

get as much exercise watching TV and usingother media, but also due to other issuesrelated to media exposure.

The newpolicy state-ment fromthe AmericanAcademy ofPediatrics,entitled“Children,Adolescents,Obesity and theMedia,” statesthat, “Americansociety couldn’tdo a worse jobat the momentof keepingchildren fit andhealthy - toomuch TV, toomany food ads,not enoughexercise, andnot enoughsleep.”

It hasbecome myroutine dur-ing well childexams, begin-ning as youngas two yearsof age, to askparents, as well

as older children, “Do you have a TV in yourroom?” and “Do you have a computer orDVD player in your room?” I’m still amazedat the number of young children who answer“yes” to these questions.

Fortunately, many also respond “No” tothe TV query, then ask me when they mayhave a TV in their room! My standard answeris : “When you leave home and go to collegeor work.” Most parents are relieved with thisresponse. A few don’t under-stand why I’meven asking the question.

The new AAP policy statement reiteratesthat parents need to be paying attention tothe amount of “screen” time their childrenget daily. Total non-educational screen time(again, the definition of “educational” mayvary from family to family) should be nomore than two hours per day. This limitshould also be enforced in child care cen-tres, after school programs and communitycentres, the AAP states.

According to the statement, the many adsfor junk food and fast food only increasea child’s desire for these foods. It’s easy to

keep your children from begging for CocoaPuffs or Fruit Loops (just randomly selected,you can fill in your cereal) if they’ve neverseen ads for these sugary cereals.

Children who are allowed to stay up lateat night watching TV are not only exposedto numerous ads, but at the same time theydon’t get enough sleep - a combinationthat puts them at greater risk for childhoodobesity.

Dr. Victor Strasburger, one of the leadauthor for the policy statement, notes: “Kidssee 5,000 to 10,000 food ads per year, mostof them for junk food and fast food.” By ask-ing parents and their children about screentime, pediatricians can encourage a familyto have a well thought out plan for limitingsuch expo-sure while encouraging out-sideactivity.

These recommendations will hopefullytranslate into less screen time, less exposureto advertising, less sedentary activity andultimately a healthier weight for children.

The Terry Fox Ravens can grind it out or open itup.

They needed more of the former than the latterSaturday in the Fox Legal Beagle Invitational game forthird place against the W.J. Mouat Hawks.

Tangled in a close contest with their Fraser Valleyrivals, the No. 9-ranked Ravens found just enoughwedge room in the fourth quarter to eke out a 55-53win.

Ryan Sclater’s bucket with just over a minute toplay broke a 52-52 tie and was followed by some stickydefensive matchups.

In a game where slick offence took a back seat totight defence, Fox pushed ahead by as much as fivepoints in the third quarter, only to witness Mouatpush back. It was tied 36-36 at the half.

Leading Fox shooters was Daniel Collins with 11points, while Sclater finished with nine. Jesse Crookes

and Alex Nesterenko chipped in eight apiece.It provided the Ravens with another layer of experi-

ence heading into Fraser Valley North league action,which began yesterday (past The NOW’s deadline).

“It was an awesome tournament in that respect,”co-coach Brad Petersen said. “We played really hardand while there were a few things we’d like to takeback, we’re happy with how the boys played.”

In Friday’s semifinal, Terry Fox cashed in thefinal five points of regulation to force extra time butWalnut Grove scored the last five points of the gamefor a 60-58 overtime win.

The sixth-ranked Langley school, which wasbumped 65-55 by No. 1-seed Kelowna in the Beaglefinal, shook off Fox’s fast start in the extra session toadvance to the final.

Grade 11 forward Trevor Casey netted 18 points forFox, while Sclater contributed 12.

Rallying to force extra time was a good sign, notedPetersen, although the club had an opportunity tocomplete the comeback in regulation but didn’t get agood shot off. In overtime they had an early jump but

faded down the stretch.“We had a couple of key turnovers and (Walnut

Grove) hit a big three pointer that kind of stole themomentum away.”

Earlier in the tournament, the Ravens kicked thingsoff with a polished 78-39 victory over AA Windsor.

Casey, who would be named to the tourney’s sec-ond all-star squad, set the tone with 19 points, whileSclater added 13.

“[Casey] was one of our best players... He’s a big,strong physical kind of player who can play in thepaint or shoot from outside. He’s really hard for otherteams to match up against.”

Also turning in polished performances during thethree-day event were Kaleb Gebrewold and TyrelRatich, who the coach praised for their defensivework.

“They really played well and did a good job against acouple of big posts,” noted Petersen.

The Ravens follow with Friday’s 7:30 p.m. tilt at Dr.Charles Best Secondary, and host Maple Ridge 6 p.m.on Saturday.

A berth in the final is whereall coaches aim to be.

The Archbishop CarneyStars achieved that times twoon the weekend.

The AA senior boys and girlsbasketball teams took careof business on home courten route to their respectiveCarney Classic tournamentchampionship finals.

The Stars trumped Burnett72-45 to top the senior boysdivision, while the senior girlswere knocked off 58-41 by AAANo. 8-ranked New Westminsterin their final.

The Carney boys were ledby tourney MVP ChristianLegazpi, while Patrick Simonpicked up an all-star honour.

To advance to the final theybested Port Coquitlam rivalB.C. Christian 73-35 on theopening day and stopped St.Patricks 70-61 in the semifinal.

“We wanted to start the NewYear off with a bang and host-ing this tournament gave us[the] opportunity to do this,”remarked Stars coach SteveMcGinley. “I think the entireteam met and further exceededour team’s goals and expecta-tions in this tournament.”

In the final, Carney cameout at a fever pitch, going ona 23-0 run midway throughthe first half to stake out animposing 59-29 advantage.Setting the tone was Legazpi,the team captain, who nailed ateam-high 28 points.

This year’s Stars are a greatmix of veterans and newcom-ers who’ve embraced the teamconcept, the coach noted.

“The strengths of our teamare that we are a really fit,quick [team] and like to drivethe ball to the hoop… We usethese strengths to fast breakthe entire game and push theball quickly up court,” saidMcGinley.

“We will press a team theentire game to gain the advan-tage of creating turnovers andscore on these opportunities.”

For the girls, the runincluded victories overSt. Patricks (64-36) andAbbotsford Collegiate (73-29).

“We played great in the firsttwo games of the tournamentand won handily, and thenwe were able to test ourselvesagainst a very strong teamfrom New Westminster in thefinal,” noted Carney seniorgirls coach Joel Ditson.

“It was a great learningexperience for our girls thoughand we will be looking to feedoff of the defensive intensitythat we brought against NewWest in our upcoming games.”

The Stars received all-starperformances from co-captainsCassandra Hombrebueno andKayla McFadden, with solidsupport from Colleen O’Melinnand Grade 10 DaniellaMitchell.

The Terry Fox Ravens’ Ryan Sclater, left, keeps the pressure on Windsor Dukes’ John Sutton during opening round action at the Terry Fox LegalBeagle Invitational on Thursday. The No. 9-ranked Ravens finished the tourney in third place following Saturday’s 55-53 victory over W.J. Mouat.

Coquitlam Express’ winger Brady Shaw, at left, scored the OT win-ner on Sunday against first-place Cowichan Valley.

Combine two more victories and theconfidence that goes with a seven-gamewinning roll and the end result is, likethat MasterCard commercial, priceless.

The Coquitlam Express will now hopeto replicate that on their first road tripof 2012.

On Sunday, Coquitlam capped a three-week homestand by rallying to beatCoastal Conference-leading CowichanValley 5-4 in overtime. Brady Shaw’sdoorstep deke around Brady Rouleau at6:39 of extra time earned the club its 21st

win and a share of third place.Trailing 4-2 with four minutes left,

the Express got tallies from TaylorBourne and John Siemer — his secondof the game — to tie the game.

While Cowichan’s Matt Brown wireda shot off the post early in extra time,it was Shaw’s delicate door-step fin-ish, after taking a nice feed from ZachHodder, that completed an impressive7-1-0 homestand.

“We’ve been on a bit of a roll so ourconfidence has been pretty high, ourscorers are putting the puck in and ourgoalies are doing a good job of keepingit out,” remarked Coquitlam head coachJon Calvano.

The club entered the weekend withoutcaptain Alex Petan, who was injured inlast Wednesday’s win over Alberni Valley,and defenceman Joona Kunnas. Both areconsidered day-to-day.

In a six-team mini-meet, the Terry FoxRavens wrestling team cracked the max.

Fox brought the largest crew — 14 wrestlers— to the Coquitlam League meetlast week and posted a 19-14 record.

Those strong numbers includea trio of 3-0 records, registered byGrade 9s Brycen Mayoh and IsaiahStevens and Grade 12 MichelleMcQuillan.

Mayoh is rounding into formafter recovering from football injury, whileStevens added to his team-leading win total,now at 14 for the season.

McQuillan, who didn’t wrestle last year dueto an injury, has picked up steam over the pastsix weeks.

Scoring a pair of wins each were Brett Boyceand Kelsey Watmough, while single victorieswere posted by Iman Amir-Jabbari, HarryCarter, Shane Robertson, Jordan Seney, JeffTilkin and Pedro Vasquez.

Also putting in solid efforts were TerrynLegge, Sadie Perkins and Kurtis Rushworth.

Cents earn split at ChancellorThe Centennial Centaurs gave as good as they

got on their tour last week in the St. ThomasMore Chancellor boys basketballtournament.

The Coquitlam crew posted a 2-2record, scoring a pair of solid victo-ries around two tough losses.

The Cents opened with an 80-55 loss to Byrne Creek. JustinBuren, who would be chosen to

the Honourable Mention all-star list, scored 23points and added 10 rebounds, while JonathonDoucette chipped in 16 points.

On the bounce-back, they nudged Handsworth73-67, with Buren cashing in for a game-high29 points and 12 boards. Doucette delivered 23points and seven rebounds in the win. Keepingthat momentum going, the Cents knocked offcrosstown rival Dr. Charles Best 65-54, as Burenscored 17 points and Andrew Moon added 12.

In their final game, the Centaurs kept it closebefore falling 69-58 to Argyle. Doucette toppedCentennial shooters with 21 points.

Cole Huggins continuedhis stellar play, kicking out45 Capitals shots including 15in the third period when thehome team needed to main-tain momentum in its come-back bid. Huggins robbedLogan Proulx on a breakaway,moments after blockingProulx from the doorstep.

Siemer’s game-tyingmarker came with an extraattacker and Huggins on thebench. The California nativealso scored a highlight reel-worthy goal midway throughthe first period, stickhandlingthrough three Cowichandefenders before burying thepuck into the top corner onthe backhand while falling tothe ice. Unfortunately, justover 600 fans were in the rinkto witness it.

“John’s an exciting player,”noted Calvano. “His [first]goal was almost a Pavel Bure

type goal, the length of the iceand around the other team.He’s got these moves he triesevery so often and when theywork they’re pretty nice.”

It came on the heels ofFriday’s 4-1 polished deci-sion over second-place PowellRiver, where Khaleed Devjiwas spectacular in frustrat-ing the visiting Kings whilethe Express showed a well-rounded game on offence anddefence.

Mitch Nardi scored twice,with singles by AlexanderKerfoot and Cody Michelle.

Devji turned back 30 shots,with Powell River breaking hisshutout bid with 2:17 left.

With the trading deadlinepassing yesterday (past TheNOW’s deadline), Calvano saidwhile he’s listening to offersmost come at too high a cost.

“What teams are askingfor at the deadline is quitehigh, which was no differ-ence than last year when

we dealt Brad Reid. We got[Clinton] Atkinson and [Cody]Michelle in that deal andwe’re not about to trade awaythe future… Right now we’rehappy with our team and thechemistry is very good.”

The team has added 16-year-old Jace Hennig, a PortMoody forward who’s beenpart of the top line in B.C.Major Midget Hockey withthe Vancouver NortheastChiefs. Hennig has played fivegames as an affiliate, withoutregistering a point, but sitssecond in league scoring with24 goals and 28 assists in 24games.

It’s now a question ofwhether the club can convertthis momentum into a majorpush away from home overthe next two weeks.

They visit Trail on Fridayand Vernon Saturday. Nextweek they head over toVictoria before playing inLangley.
