coquitlam now may 20 2011

If Wednesday’s meeting was any indication of itsdirection, Coquitlam’s sustainability committee looksto be moving towards a ban on the use cosmetic pesti-cides — with some caveats.

Committee chair Linda Reimer told The NOWThursday that the majority of the nine-member com-mittee appears to be leaning toward implementing aban, though questions aroundenforcement, definitions, over-lap and staff resources remain.

Reimer noted the city wouldlikely need to roll out a lengthyeducational component regard-less of the bylaw’s future. Sheadded that education would bethe primary thrust as opposedto widespread ticketing.

“Unfortunately these bylawsare very difficult to enforce,there’s no doubt,” she said.“However, we’re not looking somuch at enforcement as we are the value of bothproviding an educational component and having thebylaw. Education will always be the preferable routebefore you actually levy a fine to somebody.”

Rolling out that educational component would bea job in and of itself — literally. Reimer said an extracity staffer may need to be hired to monitor and edu-cate the public when and if a ban comes into place.

“There is going to be a cost. Some municipalitieshave a full-time person employed with the intentionof educating residents about the use of cosmetic pesti-cides and regulation,” she said.

The bylaw must also define what a cosmetic pesti-cide is, and in which circumstances they could beused, if any. Reimer said that some municipalitiesallow the use of certain pesticides in situations whereproperties are overrun by infestations. In that context,a city staff member would assess the situation andpermit a licensed professional to address the problem.

The issue of ensuring harmony with other cityregulations — namely the unsightly premises bylaw— was also brought up Wednesday.

“If somebody has what somebody else might con-sider an unsightly premises, it may be unsightlybecause it has weeds growing up and maybe that’sbecause they’re not using pesticides, so the twobylaws have to be harmonious together,” Reimer said.

Wednesday’s discussion came one day after theDavid Suzuki Foundation issued a study comparingpesticide regulations across the country.

FRIDAYMay 20, 2011

More than 20 specially trained mem-bers of Coquitlam Fire and Rescueare ready to assist with the massive

fires in central Alberta should the call comein.

Chief Tony Delmonico told The NOW thathe has yet to receive word from officials inB.C. or Alberta looking for assistance withthe Slave Lake fires, though he has 23 crewmembers on standby who are trained to dealwith both structure and forest fires.

“What [the province] likes about oursituation is we come fully equipped and allour people are not only forestry trained,they’re also structure-protection trained,”Delmonico said. “So in other words, if aforestry firefighter comes across a houseburning, he isn’t allowed to technically do

what we can at that fire. They don’t have theproper equipment and they don’t have theproper training, whereas our people do.”

A massive interface fire, one that spreadsfrom the wild into a town or city, broke outnear Slave Lake last weekend. Reports onThursday estimated the destruction at 372homes and lots, while 52 others were dam-aged in the town of 6,700 residents.

During forest fire season, the Office ofthe Fire Commissioner and the ProvincialEmergency Program officials go through adatabase of all resources available to themin terms of properly trained personnel andequipment.

In the Coquitlam context, six local fire-fighters were deployed for 31 days lastyear to wildfires near Williams Lake. In2009, Delmonico and a handful of otherCoquitlam firefighters helped fight blazesraging near Salmon Arm.

“It really is a different type of firefightingand you really have to be well-trained inthat aspect of firefighting to deal effectivelywith it,” he said.

Delmonico noted that on top of wind pat-terns, topography, temperature, moistureand the amount of available fuel — deadtrees, for example — play into the equationof fighting forest fires.

“Generally, a structure fire is fairly wellcontained within the boundaries of thebuilding itself — that’s what we train forday in and day out,” he said. “Forestry firefighting is a completely different animal.There are different types of factors and dif-ferent hazards as well, with everything fromhazardous trees to changes in the wind.Although wind is a consideration in struc-ture fires, unless your fire has progressedthrough the windows or out through theroof, wind isn’t really that much of anissue.”

As for the threat of a large-scale interfacefire locally, Delmonico said the southwestcoast has both some positives and negativesgoing for it: the type and amount of treesin Metro Vancouver provide for a large fuelbase for a fire, but the area’s temperature

Two Coquitlam teachers are on avirtual quest to combine educa-tion with recreation.

Meghan Enga and Cory Cleto, grade6/7 teachers at Banting Middle School,have immersed their classes in anonline journey through the QuestAtlantis project.

Quest Atlantis is an internationalinitiative developed by the Universityof Indiana that allows students tobecome characters in a three-dimen-sional, multi-user environment.

In different virtual settings, stu-dents complete educational quests thatenrich their skills in language arts,social studies, math and science.

The storyline engages studentsthrough mythical characters and mul-tiple scenarios where their decisionsmake a difference.

Enga and Cleto are able to interactwith their students through onlinechats as well as through characterscreated to review work and providefeedback.

Although the program is free to use,Enga said, the training is rigorous andfew teachers in Canada have jumpedon board.

“We’re trying to figure out how tointegrate technology in a meaning-ful way and help ourselves addressall the challenges that we face inthe classroom with our very diverselearning population. … Some ambi-tious researchers at the University ofIndiana have looked at students andwhat motivates students, and it’s videogames,” Enga said.

“They thought, ‘Why do studentsput so much time and energy intovideo games? How can we harness thatto motivate them to learn?’ So theyare using gaming theory. … It’s like avideo game, but it’s completely educa-tionally based.”

All the tasks are interdisciplinaryand tied to school curriculum, sheadded.

“If we think about personalizedlearning, we think about authentictasks,” Enga said.

“Students want to do something notjust for the teacher to read. They have

a greater audience so there’s moremotivation. There’s more validity tothem doing the tasks.”

To demonstrate, Cleto clicks onthe laptop in front of her and pulls upa world called Mesa Verde, based ona national park in Colorado. In thisquest, students learn about an ancientcivilization.

“They learn how the people livedthere. They have to make some deci-sions about why they think the peoplemoved on. The essential thing thatthey’re trying to learn in this particu-lar world is how the land shaped thepeople that lived there and how thepeople in turn shaped the land,” Cletosaid.

“So they submit tasks along theway. … They’re helping a girl figureout how to be proud of her heritage,but they actually, in doing that, goback in time and they study how thepeople lived. They learn how the landchanged over the periods of time thatthe people lived there and then they

start to make different assumptionsabout the people’s culture and try tofigure out why they lived the way thatthey did.”

The Quest website outlines othersettings, including an aquatic habitatwhere an ecological problem causedfish to die. Students need to make rec-ommendations about what to do, andthen they time travel 20 years forwardto see the results of their decision.

Another setting is a modern versionof Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Herestudents need to write a persuasivenewspaper article to provide advice tothe town dwellers.

Through the program’s tasks, Cletonoticed that her students began think-ing at a higher level.

“They were having to look at differ-ent sides of issues and then make deci-sions. Then they go back and evaluatethose decisions and see if they madethe right decision and what else theycould have done,” Cleto said.

“Then there’s always a section on

every task … on reflection. There’salways a place where they have to con-nect it to their own world and to priorknowledge.”

Enga was also surprised to see howher students flourished in the onlineenvironment.

“A lot of students who we can’taccess very well in a traditional class-room setting … really come alive inthis environment. It’s not for every-body, but we’ve had students withphysical disabilities who really likethe fact that they can run around withtheir friends and form friendships thatwe wouldn’t have seen otherwise,” shesaid.

“And we have students who are sointroverted in class that we worryabout them and we worry about theirmental health. Then they come alivehere and they’re given a forum wherethey can chat. They can interact. Theycan show us what they can do.”

Another benefit is that studentslearn how to communicate online withadult supervision.

“They have to do very rigoroustraining on how to be in the digitalworld, which of course frightens us all,especially those of us who are workingwith technology, that we’re setting ourkids loose in this unknown environ-ment. The kids are way more comfort-able with it, of course,” Enga said.

“But here we can teach them how tobe safe. Rather than pretending they’renot doing it at home, we can watchthem do it here. And we’ve had someincidences where we’ve been able tocatch behaviours and talk to kids andalert parents and so on about how tobe safe. … This helps me a lot to seewhere we can take the kids and seehow we can be forward thinking.”

The school district plans to puttogether a team of eight to 10 moreteachers who might want to partici-pate in the virtual project.

“From a teaching point of view, it’sso much more interesting than thetraditional delivery system, which is sopassive,” Enga said.

The report points to prov-ince-wide bans in Ontario andNova Scotia as the gold stan-dards across the country.

“In both cases, the ban isstructured in reference to acredible list of allowed prod-ucts and lower risk products,and then all other pesticidesare banned for cosmetic useon lawns and gardens,” saidLisa Gue, the foundation’senvironmental health policyanalyst.

Other than those twoprovinces, Quebec, New

Brunswick, Prince EdwardIsland and Alberta also havesome form of cosmetic pesti-cide bans in place.

“In those provinces, there’sa specific, discrete list ofbanned chemicals and then allothers are allowed,” Gue said.“The important advantage inOntario and Nova Scotia isthat the bans extend beyondlawn-care pesticides. Theycover garden pesticides thatcan be used for other things,like shrubs for example.”

Given the work done inOntario and Nova Scotia, it’sthe foundation’s belief that

no time should be wasted inimplementing a similar banin B.C., a point that bothPremier Christy Clark andmembers of the NDP havecome out in support of asrecently as two weeks ago.

“It’s no longer a matter ofinventing the wheel here,”Gue said.

Coquitlam’s sustainabilityand environment commit-tee will meet again on June14, while a recommendationto council — either for oragainst a ban — is expectedby June 30.

and moisture content usually counteract thosefactors.

Delmonico noted that the last interface fireoccurred in Minnekhada Regional Park twoyears ago, when a blaze consumed about fourhectares of land. He added that interface firesoccur in a pattern, generally once every sevenyears.

“It is a concern for fire services all across thenorth side of the region, from West Vancouverto North Vancouver, Port Moody, ourselves and

Maple Ridge — we all have concerns about theinterface area,” Delmonico said. “You will seethe majority of them all have specially trainedfirefighters and have specialized fire equipmentfor dealing with these types of fires. With thatsaid, there’s no way if we have a big interfacefire here in Coquitlam that we’ll be able to han-dle it on our own. The reality is, we’ll have tocall on mutual aid not only within the GreaterVancouver area, but we’d quite likely have tocontact the province and ask for mutual aidfrom other areas of the province as well.”

Four Tri-Cities Rotary clubs areteaming together to stock foodbank shelves through a food drivenext weekend.

The Rotary Generous HeartsFood Drive aims to supply at least13,000 pounds of food and $10,000to SHARE Family and CommunityServices. The Canadian WesternBank has already contributed$7,500 to the cause.

Ron Baker, past-president of PortMoody Rotary, said the food driveis a pre-cursor to national hungerrecognition week in June.

“We’ve done other initiativeswith SHARE over the years and wesaw that the need was there,” Bakersaid.

Heather Scott, developmentdirector for SHARE, said the non-profit organization is grateful forthe support.

“We feel very fortunate to be oneof the charities that all four clubscome together to support,” Scottsaid.

“That’s a very special thing.”For the food drive, more than 70

volunteers will dedicate their timeat six local grocery stores.

“They’ll be giving shoppers abag and on that bag lists the needs

in the food bank, so they’re ask-ing people to buy food for the foodbank as they enter,” Scott said.

“Top items are always the staplesin the pantry and the things thatare highly nutritious and expen-sive — things like peanut butter,canned meat and fish, pasta, riceand cereal.”

SHARE currently provides foodhampers to 450 families per week,she added.

“We’re estimating that thefood where we have it will get usthrough until the middle of nextmonth, and then we’ll be in asituation where we’ll be limpingthrough to Christmas again,” Scottsaid.

“There’s enough people comingin now that the donations are notkeeping up with the demand. Thenusually what happens is we have toreduce the amount that we providein each hamper, which hurts thefamilies.”

The Generous Hearts food driveruns from 12 to 5 p.m. on May 28and 29 at a variety of Tri-Citieslocations: Thrifty Foods stores atSuter Brook and Austin Station,Safeway stores on ShaughnessyStreet and at Sunwood Square, andSave-On Foods stores on PinetreeWay and on Ottawa Street.

School District 43 isbracing for the financialimpact of insurance costspassed down by the provincialgovernment.

Last week, District 43 staffreceived an e-mail from theMinistry of Education’s capitalmanagement branch indicat-ing that it was setting up anew $3-million pool for prop-erty loss. This pool would bedivided among school districtsbased on estimated replace-ment values of their buildings.

District 43 would beresponsible for contribut-ing 4.67 per cent of the totalcosts, or $140,062.

However, the ministryannounced Wednesday itwould release holdback fundsfor the 2010-2011 fiscalyear. District 43 will receive$452,796, or $15 per student.

Part of this grant will be

used to pre-pay the increasedinsurance costs for theupcoming school year.

Secretary-treasurer RickHumphreys said the min-istry is alsoincreasinginsurancedeductibles to$10,000 from$3,000.

“A $7,000increaseis reallyunbearable.Schools arestruggling at$3,000. To gofrom $3,000to $10,000is very, very difficult,”Humphreys said at Tuesday’sschool board meeting.

“We’ve tried to do somequick estimates of what thatwould be. As best we couldfigure, we probably have aboutseven or eight claims a yearthat would be in that range.”

As a result, the district will

set aside another $60,000 tocover increased deductiblecosts.

Superintendant Tom Grantnoted that staff will need to

examine thepossible con-sequences ofthis change.

“Up untilthis time,with the ratesat $3,000,we’ve had along-standingtradition thatschools lookafter that. Ifthere’s nochange in the

orders, you’re going to havepayments of $10,000. I doubtvery much whether half ofthe small elementary schoolsin this district have that kindof cash on hand,” Grant toldtrustees.

“Therefore, I think thatwe’re going to have to go backand take a look at what are

the implications and how dowe manage that on behalf ofthe schools in the district thatare not going to be able toafford that kind of resources.”

Trustees agreed Tuesday,prior to the holdbackannouncement, to send a let-ter to the ministry opposingthe changes and asking thatthe decision be rescinded.


District grapples with insurance

Spring break set for 2012Tri-Cities families can now start planning

their holidays after District 43 trustees unani-mously approved dates for a two-week springbreak in 2012.

Next year’s standard break is March 19 to 23across the province, but School District 43’svacation will start a week earlier on March 12.

“This would align with most of the Metrodistricts, as well as with Maple Ridge,”Superintendant Tom Grant said Tuesday.

“There are two districts who have chosennot to go with the two-week spring break

— Burnaby and New Westminster. And Deltahas selected the week after the standard calen-dar next year.”

School District 43 will also take off Monday,Nov. 14, 2011, to create a four-day weekend inNovember.

Grant said the Coquitlam Principals andVice-Principals’ Association supported theextended holidays.

However, the Coquitlam Teachers’Association opposes the idea, stating it resultsin fewer job opportunities for on-call teachers.

“A $7,000 increaseis really unbearable.

Schools are strugglingat $3,000.”

Aremarkably brave person of distinguished cour-age, or a legendary figure often of divine des-cent endowed with great abilities?

Every so often when you turn on your TV or openthe paper, tucked in with all of the depressing newsabout terrorists, plane crashes or thelatest tsunami, you’ll find the rare andspectacular hero story behind one ofthe many disasters.

But as uplifting and heartwarmingas these stories are — they are prettyextraordinary — we end up believingthat heroes are some enigmas thatonly appear in extreme situations andfaraway worlds.

Either that or as the second defin-ition suggests, you think about oneof Hollywood’s caped superheroes— such as Batman, Superman or Thor — pushingthe word “hero” even further away from the realityof our everyday lives.

But if you let yourself pull your thoughts backfrom the comic books or movies and look a bit closerto home rather than at the Arnold Schwarzeneggertypes going after Osama Bin Laden, you might justbe surprised at the number of local heroes you rubshoulders with every day.

Let me share a somewhat unassuming story, butone that had a huge impact on me all the same.

Like many other kids, my parents split while mysister and I were still quite young (I was 13 monthsto be exact). We grew up in the proverbial single-

mom household and, in the beginning, wemoved quite a bit as my Mom tried to findenough work to pay the bills. One summer,she landed a four-month gig as an actorin a small town called Rosebud. We werewelcomed by dust, grasshoppers and fewerthan 100 people. Being a young and alreadycynical eight-year-old, it wasn’t at all how Iwanted to spend my summer. That is, untilI met Karl, a 20-something stagehand forthe show. Karl took me under his wing andsacrificed a lot of time with his buddies tohang out with me — turning that summer

into one I will never forget.Maybe Spiderman is going toe-to-toe with the

Green Goblin in the movies and military heroes arefighting terrorists across the globe. But in my littleeight-year-old world in a dinky town called Rosebud,it was Karl — the happy-go-lucky guy backstage— who was the hero giving a disillusioned kid thesense of belonging during a pretty tough time.

I’m sure he had no idea the impression he was

making as we played Mortal Kombat and ate Rolo icecream, but it was one that would last a lifetime. Didhe have to do those things with me? Absolutely not,but he did because that’s just the kind of guy he is,and it was the right thing to do.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that not allheroes are made from nuclear waste or radioactivespiders. Sometimes heroes are simply made fromsolid moral decisions — like the freckled kid on theschool ground who tells the bully to quit picking onhis friend, or the popular kid who risks her statusby choosing the nerdy kid for her team. Or maybeit’s the businessman in the Armani suit who stops topick up the stray dog in the street, muddy paws andall, or even the four-year-old sister who gives up herlast cookie for her younger brother.

Sometimes it’s the decisions that we make withinourselves or the simple things for others that are thereal heroic deeds.

The next time you see someone being bullied, takethe time to stand up. If you see someone strugglingwith their groceries, take the time to help.

Because, in reality, we’re all heroes just waitingfor our chance to wear the cape.

Marvelling at the broad definition of hero

An open letter to the citizens of Coquitlam:Are you annoyed at your annual tax and utility

increases? Are you wondering what’s going on,when the same roads are paved, opened,paved and opened over and over again foryears on end?

Are you mad at the city’s electedofficials for spending your money as ifit were water, mostly on things non-sensical?

Don’t be. Be mad at yourself instead,because it is your own doing. You allow it tohappen. You have to take responsibility for it.

After all, any citizenry that permits a mayor andcouncillors to spend nearly $5,500 on a three-hourtown hall meeting on May 7, attended by a handfulof citizens and no media, gets what it deserves.

You want to change the unaccountability ofyour elected officials? You want fiscally responsiblepeople to guide the city’s affairs? Get on the city’s

e-mail list so you know what’s goingon. Show up at the council meetingsat City Hall every so often and stateyour concerns.

You pay these people to do yourbidding. Why choose to waste yourpower and money, giving it tocharacters who may not merit your

trust?Otherwise sleep on, get financially raked over the

coals on an ever increasing scale. It’s all your owndoing.

Between that giant glowing orb in the skyfinally making an appearance and theCanucks’ ruthless grilling of the Sharks

on Wednesday, it’s nothing short of a miraclethat we are able to see straight here in MetroVancouver.

Sun does funny things to us here in LotusLand. Given the amount of precipitation weendure, it shouldn’t come as a surprise thatsunshine shocks our systems a bit.

With a long weekend upon us, it’s time toget outside and enjoy all this beautiful prov-ince has to offer — but also remember to becareful as well.

That sun-drenched scenery can be a distrac-tion at times, and Victoria Day long weekendsin the past have proven to be quite danger-ous. It was only two years ago that 12 peoplein B.C. died from either vehicle crashes, boat-ing accidents or other recreational pursuits.

Even one death is too much. Twelve isincomprehensible.

The RCMP are doing their part to keep ussafe for our own good. They’ve issued noticethat they’ll be pulling drivers over en massethis weekend in an attempt to keep speedsdown.

“Why ruin a vacation by losing your vehicle?Or worse, why spend the long weekend inthe hospital caring for a loved one who wasinjured in a collision?” said Cpl. Aaron Sproule,a collision reconstructionist with the RCMP’sLower Mainland traffic services division.

“We want people to slow down and reachtheir destinations safely this weekend.”

Speeding and aggressive driving are contrib-uting factors in an average of 41,000 injurycollisions every year in B.C., and were factorsin no fewer than 161 roadway fatalities in theLower Mainland during 2009 and 2010.

Do you and your family a favour, and don’tadd to those statistics. Be safe on any roadsand waterways you travel along.

This May long weekend should be aboutbasking in the gorgeous weather outdoors.Because let’s face it, like a good Canucksplayoff run, it doesn’t come around nearlyenough.

School zones are meant tobe safe places to walk

Every day I walk my young son to schooland this morning was like no other day of uswalking.

We nearly got hitby a man driving anSUV at the intersec-tion. It is a quietarea, Rochester andSchoolhouse Street,where many chil-dren walk with their walking buddies, parentsand grandparents.

Even though it is still clearly a school zone,people speed excessively, text on their cell-phones and basically ignore the road.

Since September there have been at leasteight times that I and my child have nearlybeen struck by one of these out-of-control driv-ers.

People, please slow down around our school.Stay off your cellphones while driving. I don’tfeel like dying due to some person who is notable to keep their eyes on the road, nor do Iwant to lose my son to your stupid drivinghabits.

Coquitlam should enforceunsightly premises bylawRe: “Do the crime, pay the fine: bylaws

bring in $170,000,” Wednesday, May 11.I read today’s article you authored, appreci-

ating reading factual activity numbers regard-ing Coquitlam bylaw infractions.

Coquitlam changed the unsightly premisesbylaw section dealing with junked or storedvehicles making it very easy to define the ones

that must be removed from residential proper-ties.

In spite of this change designed to rid ourcommunity of old abandoned and surplus cars,trailers, motorhomes, etc., Coquitlam enforce-ment is not visible to many of our citizens whosee the stored junk and surplus items on theirlocal streets, lanes and neighbouring proper-ties.

Southwest Coquitlam neighbourhoodsrequire a keen and willing city bylaw depart-ment willing to be proactive in gettingCoquitlam properties cleaned up to city stan-dards.

In spite of my several telephone calls andpersonal visits to ask for cleanup, the officialstold me in effect that if the problem isn’t indirect sight or on a contiguous residential orempty lot, they won’t act on a complaint. Greatattitude where city policy interpretation is leftto a staff member.

One has to become political and involve sev-eral elected councillors to see something done.

Bylaw enforcement seems to be a problem initself, in that Coquitlam may have to enforcea penalty that could involve work. One canonly wonder why Coquitlam allows so manyresidential lots to have obsolete, wrecked orinoperative, uninsured and unlicensed vehiclesaffecting neighbourhood values, ambience andsafety when easy remedial cleanup and main-tenance is available. Their bylaw provisions arepretty thorough.

I recommend that Coquitlam be like pro-gressive local cities and hire more trained legalenforcement officers ready to work towardscommunity goals.

Being proactive is what we need — not com-plaints that are filed and forgotten. The worstresidences appear to fall into the absenteeowner and rental type.

Of the 404 “premises” infractions recog-

nized, can there be a summary of how manywere acted on versus complaints? Unsightlyproperties hurt us all. How many did we miss?I am sure that our administrators are doingtheir assigned tasks in these issues but I see somany unchanged infractions.

P3s benefit B.C.I have never completely understood why the

public sector unions in this province are sorabidly opposed to public-private partnershipsand contracting out.

Don’t public-sector union members paytaxes like the rest of us? Don’t they want to seetheir tax dollars spent as wisely, as efficientlyand as cost-effectively as possible?

Public-private partnerships, contracting outand privatization are well-established, well-proven ways to get the most out of our publictax dollars and ensure that these dollars arebeing spent to their best advantage.

The private sector has the ability to leverageexperience and expertise the public sector doesnot have while transferring financial risk awayfrom taxpayers and offering incredible value formoney spent.

In short, privatization, contracting out andpublic-private partnerships have clear, well-recognized benefits for taxpayers.

Every taxpayer in B.C. should thereforestop and ask themselves why the public-sectorunions in this province fight so aggressivelyagainst any and all efforts to contract out orprivatize services.

Whose interest are they looking out for?Apparently not for your interest or mine astaxpayers.

Agroup of Douglas College anthropology studentswill spend a month living on an Aboriginal reserveto research the history, culture and identity of the

Splatsin First Nation.The 12 students left Monday for the territory around

Enderby, which is about 30 kilometres north of Vernon and20 kilometres south of Salmon Arm.

Instructor Tad McIlwraith saidthe Splatsin First Nation invitedstudents to join them.

“This is something that wasmotivated by them and wouldprobably be pretty hard to do ifthey hadn’t invited us,” he saidin a press release.

Students will also have theopportunity to learn aboutanthropological methods andtechniques during their stayfrom May 16 to June 10.

To follow the field school’s blog, visit splatsindouglas-fieldschool.wordpress.com/field-school-blog/.

Douglas College also sent eight students to Zambia lastweek to gain international work experience with non-gov-ernmental organizations.

The students are part of the global leadership program,which is a new initiative launched by the college’s centrefor campus life.

As program participants, they will spend three monthsvolunteering in community development, health care,social enterprises and other areas that coincide with theirstudies.

Volunteer areas include reproductive health, educationand community outreach, entrepreneurial training, com-munity development through sport, and social services.

Campus life co-ordinator Scott Fraser-Dauphinee saidthe goal is to provide students with opportunities todevelop work skills that are not taught in the classroomand for students to contribute to the organizations theywork with.

“They’re going to be challenged more than they’ve everbeen challenged before,” Fraser-Dauphinee said in a pressrelease.

“Working in a place like Zambia, where things work sodifferently, they’re going to need to build their adaptationskills, their communication skills and their understandingof how to work with different people. I think that’s wherewe’re going to see the growth.”

Maillard Middle pays attention tobodies, minds and spirits at fair

Maillard Middle students got active at a health and well-ness fair earlier this month.

The event featured wrestling, hip-hop dancing, taekwon-do, circuit training, boot camp and Jump Rope for Heartstations.

Students also learned about photography, writing, chalkpastel art, life-saving skills, stress reduction, group dynam-ics, healthy eating and how to help the environment.

eight, clothes, inhibitions— the women at PortCoquitlam Curves areshedding it all.

The Tri-Cities gals willtake it all off for a nude calendar afterlosing a food drive challenge to a Curvesfranchise in Port Alberni.

PoCo Curves managerKim Blake said clientsdonated groceries lastmonth instead of payingsign-up fees. The PortAlberni location issueda challenge to see whocould collect the mostfood.

Blake proposed thatthe losers pose for anude calendar, and theVancouver Island womenagreed.

“We lost by 107 pounds,” said Blake,who is originally from Port Alberni.

“There were a few suggestions that wecould put our baby photos in or crop ourheads onto beautiful bodies. But we saidno, let’s just do this.”

After the initial shock subsided, 33women volunteered to bask in the buff

— ranging fromage 27 to 84.

“It waswomen of 75 and65 who were thefirst to jump on. Thenit was a woman who saidshe is missing a breast and wouldlike to do an October shot for breast can-cer month. You could see vanity fall awayand people joined on,” Blake said.

“Once the breast can-cer survivors were on,the rest of the girls don’thave an issue. We’ve gotprobably half a dozenbreast cancer survivorsin the club, but we figurethere’ll be three or fourin the calendar. They said,‘We’re missing breastsbut I’ll be in.’ They’re justhappy to be alive, really.”

Inspired by the Britishflick Calendar Girls, the

local photos will feature strategicallyplaced items to veil the view.

“We want it tasteful,” Blake said. “Itwill be black and white because it’s betterfor our age group and we don’t have toworry about tanning and age spots andall those kinds of things.”

Classic White Photography inCloverdale has agreed to shoot the photos

for free, but Blake is hoping to find aprinter to help out.

The local club will donate 70 per centof calendar proceeds to Port Coquitlam’stransition house, with the remainderpegged for special needs girls’ groups inPoCo.

The 2012 calendar, dubbed “The Birdsof McAllister,” will likely be for sale thisfall.

“One of the hubbies here has alwaysreferred to all the girls as the birds, andthey like that,” Blake explained.

“They didn’t want to be called hens orpin-ups or anything. And McAllister is thestreet we’re on.”

As the store manager and projectorganizer, Blake will also drop her draw-ers for the cause.

“I wouldn’t dare back out now,” shesaid with a laugh. “It has become a cama-raderie. We’re all planning and we’re alljoking and it’s added this fire to a few ofus. It’s just been great. It’s women help-ing women.”

Your family’s new best friend awaitsMay is Be Kind to

Animals Month acrossB.C and it’s also a

month that the B.C. Societyfor the Preventionof Cruelty toAnimals high-lights the amazinganimals availablefor adoption inshelters across theprovince.

Those of uswho work in thefield of animalprotection seemany sad, oftendevastating, cases of animalabuse and neglect every singleday. More than 33,000 abused,neglected, injured and home-less animals enter our shelterseach year.

Each of these animalstouches our hearts and thereis no greater joy for anyoneinvolved in animal rescuethan seeing an animal escapea dangerous and abusive lifeto find the loving, forever

home they deserve.One example is the case of

Moji, a sweet-natured pit bull-whippet cross, who was taken

into SPCA careafter constablesreceived a reportthat he was beingabused.

Moji had led aterrifying exist-ence with hisprevious owner:he was regularlybeaten, tortured,starved, kickedand burned with

a cigarette lighter, all thewhile kept on a short chainwith no means of escape. Hewas denied urgently neededmedical care and had no hope,until a watchful neighbournoticed his plight and calledthe SPCA.

Moji was recovering at ashelter when a wonderful fam-ily came in and asked whichdog “needed a home themost.”

When they heard Moji’sstory, they immediately adopt-ed him and this once-abuseddog is now a beloved, happy-go-lucky family pet. Moji’snew family dotes on him andlaughs daily at his antics, ashe instigates games of hideand seek with his favouritetoys and becomes hopelesslytangled in the sheets of theirdaughter’s bed, where heregularly naps.

Fifty times a day, every dayof the year, an animal in aBC SPCA branch finds a new,

loving home. These beauti-ful animals are in sheltersthrough no fault of their own,but because humans eithercouldn’t or wouldn’t providethe care they deserved.

If you are thinking of add-ing a furry friend to your fam-ily, please consider the SPCAas your first adoption option.There are so many moreanimals, like Moji, who des-perately want to be part of afamily. To find your new bestfriend, visit your local shelteror visit www.spca.bc.ca.

David Clark, execu-tive director of theEagle Ridge Hospital

Foundation, will be retiring ashead of the fundraising bodyeffective Aug. 1.

Peter Irving,the Eagle RidgeHospital Foundationboard chair,announced the newsWednesday, thank-ing Clark for hisservice.

“Under David’sdirection, the foun-dation has grownthrough difficulttimes and pro-vided guidance and supportto the board in keeping upwith the increasing needs ofEagle Ridge Hospital,” Irvingsaid in a release. “The nextfew years will be very excit-ing ones as the Eagle Ridgevision unfolds, and we arevery grateful that David haseffectively prepared us to bea meaningful partner in sup-porting this endeavour.”

Clark joined the foundationin 2005 after working withthe Canadian Cancer Society.During his tenure helpingthe Port Moody hospital, thefoundation raised more than$8 million and for equipmentpurchases and grew the foun-dation’s assets by more than

$1 million.“My time at Eagle Ridge

has been enormously satisfy-ing, perhaps one of the mostsatisfying assignments of

my career. We haveenjoyed some suc-cess for sure butmostly, it is thepeople I’ve met andworked with that Itreasure,” he said.“I have made somewonderful friend-ships in the Tri-Cities.”

Last month, FraserHealth announcedthat a master site

planning study will determinewhat services and expansionwill be required to serve theTri-Cities in the next 25 years.Clark had indicated his inten-tions to retire in 2012, butsaid the hospital’s future planaltered his calendar.

“With a large campaignpotentially on the horizon, itmakes sense for me to makeway at this time so my succes-sor can take over and lead thecampaign planning process.It also makes sense for thefoundation to replace me witha skilled fund developmentprofessional that has experi-enced success with capitalcampaigns of this magnitude,”he said.

Extreme caution causing one wife to overheatDear Tom and Ray:My husband and I recently

purchased a new car. Myhusband refuses to run theair conditioningin heavy stop-and-go traffic or if weare sitting in theparked car. WhenI ask him whatthe reason is, hesays that since thecompressor for theair conditioning isbelt-driven, if thereis no airflow intothe engine, the carwill overheat.

So I’m wondering why Isee everyone else sitting intheir nice, cool cars with thewindows up, but their carsaren’t overheating. He has

been this way with all of hisvehicles. We have a vacationcoming up with a 12-hourdrive. I’m worried about long,

hot constructiondelays. Is heright — shouldI continue tosilently meltin 90-degreeweather? Or canwe turn on thedarn AC?

KatieRAY: Katie,

we feel for you.We really do.

The reason you see everyoneelse sitting in their nice, coolcars is because they’re notmarried to your stubbornhusband.

TOM: He’s being overly

cautious. Far too cautious.For at least three decadesnow, all cars have comeequipped with electric cool-ing fans. When the car isn’tmoving and there’s no windbeing pushed through thefront grille, an electric fannow comes on, independent ofthe engine, and makes its ownbreeze for the radiator.

RAY: That’s why cars cansit in traffic, even with the ACon, on very hot days, and stillnot overheat.

TOM: In fact, most carshave a second cooling fan, ora higher speed for the coolingfan, that kicks in automatic-ally whenever the air condi-tioner is turned on, just toprovide extra cooling underhot conditions.

RAY: Now, there is a limitto a cooling fan’s effective-ness. It never will provideas much cooling air as youwould get when driving 100km/h on the highway. So ifyou’re stuck in traffic for along time, and it’s 48 C out,an engine still can overheat.But those are highly unusualconditions.

TOM: So the bottom lineis that you’re suffering need-lessly, Katie. Here’s what youshould do: Suggest that yourhusband try leaving the AC onduring your upcoming vaca-tion.

RAY: Right. Just leave it

on, whether you’re stoppedor moving. As long as the“hot” warning light on thedashboard doesn’t come on,that means the car is fine.And unless you’re in bumper-to-bumper traffic in Phoenixduring a horrendous heatwave, or the cooling systemmalfunctions, that light’snever going to come on.

TOM: But just in case, wearEgyptian cotton, Katie. Goodluck.

Motorcycle safety applies toall cruisers and race rocketsWhether it is because

they are more eco-nomical, more con-

venient or just fun to ride,more people are trading infour wheels for two and hit-ting the road on a motorcycle.

Between 2001 and 2009 thenumber of motorcycle riderson British Columbia’s streetsand highways nearly doubledfrom 49,000 to about 94,000.

And with such an increasein riders comes and increasein the number of motorcyclerelated injuries and fatalities.

Fifty-eight percent of allcrashes involving motorcyclesare the fault of the motorcyc-list.

Inexperience is the primaryfactor in most motorcyclecrashes, and new motorcyc-lists in the 16 to 25 age groupare the most at risk with afatality rate that is 13 timeshigher than older riders.

Allan Lamb, executivedirector of the BCAA TrafficSafety Foundation, is infavour with the law requir-ing all motorcycle driversand their passengers to weara helmet that meets certifiedsafety-industry standards.

There are more middle-aged riders taking to theroads too. Often referred to as“rubies” (rich urban bikers),these riders may have neverridden a motorcycle before,ride infrequently or it hasbeen a long time since theywere on a bike.

Lamb suggests that middleage riders take an annualrefresher course even everyspring and consider lookinginto the appropriate insurancefor their motorcycle usage.

The BCAA Traffic SafetyFoundation offers some tipsfor staying safe on a motor-cycle:

• Make eye contact. Makesure that the other driver orrider sees you.

• Pay attention to the sig-nals of other drivers and makeyour intention clear.

• Watch for left turningvehicles at intersections.

• Be aware of hazardousroad conditions — wet roads,sand, gravel, potholes andother hazards may cause amotorcycle to fall.

• Pay attention to postedspeeds and watch the roadahead — reduce speed oncurves and watch for oncom-ing vehicles. Many crasheshappen when a rider over-shoots the road ahead orcrosses the centre line.

• Wear protective clothingdesigned for motorcycle ridersthat is “armoured” bright andreflective.

• Wear a helmet, whichis mandatory in B.C. Duringcrashes, helmets prevent 67per cent of head injuries andprevent 29 per cent of deaths.Make sure your helmet meetscurrent safety standards.

• Never drive a car or amotorcycle while impaired.

Driving is impaired when theability to do so is affected byany substance or conditionthat changes the mood or per-ception of reality of the driver.Alcohol or drugs, illicit orprescription, and even fatigueand stress will impair yourdriving. A combination of anyor all of these things can bedeadly.

The Coquitlam Reds are among the longest continuing premier youthbaseball programs in British Columbia. Their origin dates back to the early1970s as a successor to the Coquitlam/Maillardville Athletics of the oldSimon Fraser Connie Mack League.

In 1994 the Reds organization added a younger developmental team ofprimarily 15 and 16 year olds. The Redlegs represent the future opportu-nity for the Reds to maintain their longstanding tradition of premier-levelbaseball development.

We invite you to come out to a home game and experience community youth baseball.

Wine

It must be spring: Best of B.C. WinesUncorked is back.

There are many wine events and tastingsthis time of the year as wineriesjockey for the busy summer touristseason.

Wine consumers can takeadvantage of these tastings to findnew wines that fit their tastes andbudget.

In the past a large majority oflarger wine tastings events werelocated in the downtown area.These locations are ideal for localresidents that can take well con-nected bus or SkyTrain routes to tastings orare even close enough to walk.

For Tri-Cities residents, however, the trekis a long one either by transit or car. I alwaysrecommend not driving at all after wine tast-ing, as the risk that you are over the legal limitis not worth the chance.

Tri-Cities residents now have a regular semi-annual wine tasting event that stands up tosome of the major ones offered in the down-

town core.The Best of B.C. Wines Uncorked

wine tasting event is being held onSaturday, May 28 in the Galleria atPort Moody City Hall.

More than 35 of the best winer-ies in B.C. will be pouring winesamples with cool live jazz musicplaying in the background. Therewill be appetizers generously sup-plied by Brown’s Social House, afeature sponsor located in NewPort

Village.The event supports funding for the Port

Moody Arts Centre Society and they are offer-ing a unique raffle with a number of themedprize packages and a vendor marketplace fea-turing a selection of arts themed stations. It’scertainly a great way to spend an evening out.

I have attended many tastings in the pastand I can give you some good advice to maxi-mize your enjoyment of the event.

First, if you are planning to do quite a bitof sampling, pre-arrange a ride home or finda way back that does not involve you driving.After all, it’s a great opportunity to have somefun.

At the event there will be over 125 differentsamples available to taste, so don’t think youcan taste all of them in one evening. The strat-egy is to pick out the wineries that have winesthat appeal to you before you taste and thenvisit those tables that offer your favourites.

Pace yourself — it is not a race — andnibble on some available snacks. Use spit-toons if you are planning on conducting a lotof sampling, and there will be one provided ateach station. Wine pros spit out the wines afteranalyzing them, so you can too.

When you are poured your sample, pleasemove to the side so other attendees can also

get a pour.It is important not to wear perfume, cologne

or strong soap as this will interfere with enjoy-ment of nosing and tasting the wine.

Some of the wineries attending like NobleRidge Winery will have their winemaker inattendance, so it is a great opportunity to meetthem and ask questions.

If you find wine that you have enjoyed,either write them down in your program orsnap a QR code shot with your cellphone tofind out where you can purchase the wineslocally. It’s that easy.

You‛ve probably heard and seen a lot about HST — some negative, some positive.Well, now you can have your say. From June 13th to July 22nd you‛ll vote whether tokeep HST or go back to PST plus GST. It‛s an important decision for our province,so be sure to take the time to understand all the implications of the two taxsystems. And before you decide, put each tax option to the test at HSTinBC.ca

Garden

As lot sizes continue to shrink, plants that give severalpleasures become more valuable. A few, such as chives,are useful in different places: in the kitchen,

as fresh cut flowers, dried flowers and outside as apretty border edging.

Chives accept most soils and have a very longharvest. The mild, onion-flavoured leaves pop upin February and can be cut until frost. With smallclumps, it’s best to cut about one-third of theleaves each time to keep fresh leaves coming.

Like many other leafy herbs, chives love sun-shine, but tolerate semi-shade. They’re goodplanted by a path because the clumps are usuallyless than 30-cm (12-inches) tall. The stems aresturdy, allowing the beautiful, pinkish-mauve ball-head flowers to be dried just by standing them in a vase withoutwater.

Mint is another popular flavour-enhancer for salads, sauces,teas and vegetables. It can be picked from March to frost if youcut repeatedly to ensure tender, fresh leaves. One of the pret-tiest kinds is golden-variegated ginger mint. This has a spicy-mint taste and is relatively dwarf.

Give mint shade and moisture and it runs in all directions.Once I tried to control spearmint by planting it in a bed of well-drained sandy soil. It didn’t run, but paid me back by gettingrust. Containers are really the only place for mint — but eventhere it may make a prison break through drainage holes.

Golden oregano retains its colour and flavour best in full sun.It’s very dwarf and enhances garden beds by softening edges orspilling down retaining walls.

Another golden spirit-lifter is the golden variegated formof lemon balm. The flavour is milder than the green one, but

in spring it looks spectacular. It self-seeds if you let it, andunfortunately all the babies are green. Lemon balm is a tea herb

reputed to have nerve-calming qualities.Sage is a low, sun-loving bush available in several

hues other than plain green — there’s the hardypurple sage, the tri-colour sage with leaves of green,white and pink and a golden-variegated sage whichmay succumb in severe winters. Mauve flower spikesare easy on the eye and the leaves are delicious (insmall quantities) to flavour stuffing, casseroles, meatand vegetable dishes and also for herb tea.

For delicate filigree foliage, dill is a fast-growingfoil for more solid plants. Uses include salads andsandwiches. Dill makes masses of seeds that volun-teer freely outside and store well for kitchen use.

Intricate and useful leaves make the curly-leaf parsley a nice

edging for flowers or a container of herbs. It’s a biennial: mak-ing leafy growth one year and flowering the next. Like dill, it’s arampant self-seeder and also a bee favourite.

Rosemary is a must-have herb producing aromatic spikyleaves for meat and vegetable dishes and lovely blue flowersin early spring. It’s best in well-drained containers because italmost always needs to be brought inside for winter. Hardy arprosemary withstands an average winter outside, but not a severeone.

Bergamot is a tea plant that bees and humming birds love. Itprefers sun and moist soil and produces some of the most spec-tacular flowers for borders: mopheads in crimson, various pinksand mauves. Kinds are now available that resist mildew.

We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site youfind over 100 testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may callthem. Here are some examples: ! Doctor suggested knee replacement after allhis options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommendBell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 yearswith arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all theseyears when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night.Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask andBell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand andpain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer,ON!Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more painnow. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering foryears I desperately tried everything, drugs, naturalproducts,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothingwas of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by takingshark cartilage that was specially processed to preservethe natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are nowpromoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million menand women that are battling the same illness and gettingtreatments that are not working well, otherwise we would nothave this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years wehave helped tens of thousands of men and women to have lesspain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry.No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’tlet anybody confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President

Family

Ateenaged boy dropped in one day to visitour son. We were taken with his outfitbecause instead of the usual jeans and

T-shirt he was wearing dress pants and a whiteshirt. So we asked, and he explained that hewas heading to his grandparents’house for dinner.

This is a young man who wasvery close to his grandparents. Ifdressing for Sunday dinner mat-tered to them, he was happy tooblige.

How kids dress for differentoccasions is one aspect of goodmanners that is too often missed.

Qualified young people maymiss out on employment oppor-tunities simply by neglecting to dress for theoccasion. A job interview requires businessapparel. If the interviewer is concerned abouthow an interviewee looks, her chances are overno matter how good the interview.

While clothing is nowhere near as formal asit used to be, there are still conventions thatmost of us need to follow. Weddings, funerals,church, fancy restaurants, dinner with friendsand relatives (depending on the situation) allrequire appropriate dress, and it’s up to us toteach our kids the difference.

Sometimes bringing an alternate outfitworks well. I was at a wedding in which therewere kids in the wedding party and the youngflower girls were in long dresses. Now, I willfirst say I thought the dresses for these young-sters were over the top. The kids spent theentire time trying not to trip on their hems.

However, after the dinner the kids changedinto comfy clothes and had a great time. Thesame can happen when you take young chil-dren to a family dinner or other event. Havethem dress up for the first while and change

into play clothes later. That works well. Thepoint is teaching kids that they need to consid-er where they are going when getting dressed.

Manners are important. And clothing is onlypart of the equation. Kids need to learn how

to entertain, how to handle them-selves at a dinner party, how tomake small talk and how to behavein public. They learn by beingtaught and by watching others.

If every family meal is servedin front of the television set, whathappens the first time your kids areinvited for a more formal meal? Orif every dinner eaten out is in a fastfood place, when do they learn howto behave in a proper restaurant?

Turn off the television and set the tableproperly. You all sit down together, and a prop-er meal is served to everyone. The kids learn bybeing shown what utensils to use, how to waituntil everyone is served before starting andhow to cut their food and eat politely. Adjustthe expectations according to the child’s age. Atwo-year-old can’t wait calmly until everyone isserved but an eight-year-old certainly can.

When you have company, ask the children tocome in and greet the guests and chat for a fewminutes. Teach them that they are expected towelcome everyone who visits even if they arethen going to go elsewhere and play.

If your children are young or shy, practise ashort conversation with them. And if you wantyour kids to really stand out, teach them howto say “thank you.” When they are having din-ner at a friend’s house, taking their dishes tothe kitchen and nicely thanking the friend’sparents is easy and important.

Good manners always stand us in goodstead. First, take a look at your own behaviour;then show your kids how polite they can be.

Manners begin at home

BURLINGTON DR


Their on-track rivals ended up playingcatchup with Esinam and Benjamin Ayesu-Attah.

The sibling sprinters demonstrated theirquick feet on the first two days of competi-tion at the Fraser Valley Track and Fieldchampionships in Coquitlam, combining forthree gold medals and a silver for the HeritageWoods Kodiaks team.

The Coquitlam pair were also slated tocompete Thursday (past The NOW’s deadline)in their respective 400-metre dashes.

For Esinam, first-place results in both thesenior girls 100- and 200-metre races werebettered by the fact that she posted two per-sonal bests (PB) in both.

She topped the 100m race in 12.32 secondson Monday, carving .28 off her previous best.A day later in the 200m event, the Grade 11student broke her previous best in the earlierheat, crossing the finish line in 25.71 seconds.

Her winning time in the final was 25.84.“I didn’t think it was going to happen (in

the 100m),” said Esinam. “My legs were sorefrom the first heat, but when I crossed the fin-ish line and all my teammates were cheering Ithought maybe I had a PB.”

In the senior boys, Benjamin was setting

his own pace in the 200m, surging ahead ofdistrict rival Nathan George of Centennialwith a time of 22.57 seconds — establishing anew personal best in the process.

“It was an interesting race,” Benjamin said.“As I rounded the corner very hard I neededto push it and pass (George), and did it in thelast 10 metres.”

As someone who considers the 400 morehis event, winning the 200m race was anifty accomplishment — especially since he,George and Gleneagle’s Hodson Harding alltrain together with the Coquitlam Cheetahs.

“Basically, training with them pushes me,”Benjamin noted. “When you get in the blocksbeside them you think ‘I’m going to beat theseguys.’”

Despite setting another PB (11.15) in the100m race, the Grade 12 runner finished sec-ond to Harding’s time of 11.11 seconds.

On the first two days, the Coquitlam districtalso secured a gold medal from Centennial’sMiranda Menzies, who won the sr. girls 800mrace in 2:19.96. In junior competition, B.C.Christian Academy’s Mitchell Jackson toppedthe boys hammerthrow, while Ecole desPionniers’ Kiara Sutton won the discus with atoss of 27.08 metres.

How you start can say a lotabout where you finish.

The Coquitlam Adanacs won’tbe lowering their aim whenit comes to the 2011 WesternLacrosse Association season.

As they kickstart the yeartonight, 7:45 p.m. in Burnabyagainst the Lakers, Coquitlamremains constant in its zeal:pushing for a Mann Cup berth.

However, the squad is alsogiving serious shrift to gettingout of the chute quicker andstronger than in years past.

On-floor additions — JonHarnett, Mike Kilby, RobbieCampbell and Holdon Vyse ondefence plus veteran sniperSpencer Martin — have solid-ified the club’s all-around depth.The attack remains well-fortified,led by last year’s top-two leaguescorers Dane Dobbie and CoryConway.

With all-time scoring leaderJason Wulder’s retirement, thereis a need for new torch bearers.

“This is my fifth year in theleague and I want to be a bitmore of a leader,” said DarylVeltman. “I’ll do whatever ittakes to help this team get towhere we want to go.”

That destination is atop theWLA charts, and Veltman addedthat with new head coach BobSalt on board, a major focus isstarting the season with a bang.

“It’s very important, those first10 games are probably the mostimportant because you set thetone... It puts you on the rightpath,” Veltman noted.

When Salt was guiding NewWestminster to back-to-back-to-back league championships,preparation was an obviousasset. It’s a piece to the puzzle asCoquitlam looks to improve onlast year’s 9-9-0 record.

They received good newsthis week when the CanadianLacrosse Association grantednetminder Nick Rose the rightto sign with Coquitlam, after hisOntario club tried to deny himthe chance to move.

The tandem of BrandonAtherton and Rose should beable to improve easily on lastyear’s goals against average.

Veltman says if the club gelsquickly, come August they couldbe settling in for a long, Canuck-like playoff run.

Coquitlam’s home openercomes May 28, 7 p.m. against theMaple Ridge Burrards.

Big strides and a biggeropportunity.

For Port Moody’s JeffOldenborger, one is the goaland the other is the currentreality.

Both are critical partsfor B.C.’s team for the 2011Women’s National Under-18Hockey championships inNovember.

Putting it in motion isOldenborger’s job as TeamB.C.’s head coach.

During this weekend’s pro-vincial camp in Salmon Arm,the coaching staff will pushand watch the group of morethan 50 players competing forroster spots to the nationalchampionships. Being able toskate against the eastern pow-

erhouses of Team Ontario andQuebec is the end goal.

Ground has been made up,with a bronze in 2005. But B.C.is still battling to earn its firstberth into the national final.

“We want these 50 playersto understand how they arepart of the strength of the finalroster, that their commitmentand passion is what’s going totake B.C. to the next level,” saidOldenborger.

Challenging for a medalis one thing; but B.C. will bepushing for gold in the nearfuture. Accepting the role ofhead coach means mappingout the groundwork for thatsuccess.

“There’s no question thatour big challenge for B.C.female hockey players is get-ting to where we can competewith the perennial powers— Ontario is strong enough

that it sends two teams.”An assistant coach with the

University of B.C.’s women’steam, Oldenborger said B.C.has been closing the gap asgirls’ minor hockey programshave taken root and grown inpopularity around the province.

“When you consider it, wom-en’s hockey really started togain serious momentum onlyrecently here,” the 32-year-oldnoted. “We’ve gone from wheregirls in B.C. moved to hockeyfrom ringette or only came toit later, to having minor pro-grams where hockey was theplayer’s first choice.”

Players like Coquitlam’sIvana Bilic, Melissa MacDougalland Natasha Panahi and PortCoquitlam’s Reaghan Chadwickare part of that new wave, girlswho took up the game on itsown merits and pursued it witha determined passion. All four

are slated to be in Salmon Armto put their case forward for aspot in the lineup.

For Oldenborger, the gamehas always been his passion— first as a North Vancouvernative and now as a youngcoach.

“I played other things but Ididn’t really pursue any othersports,” Oldenborger recalled.“I was drafted by Kamloops inthe [Western Hockey League’s]bantam draft and played in theWHL… Even when my playingdays were coming to an end Iknew right away that I wantedto get into coaching.”

Just over 10 years ago hetook on an assistant role witha Kelowna minor team and

found his calling.“I lucked out right away, and

it just snowballed from there.”In 2008 he volunteered to

coach a girls team at the B.C.Winter Games and enjoyed theexperience.

It led him to UBC, wherehe’s worked with Thunderbirdshead coach Nancy Wilson, andto the B.C. High Performanceprogram. He also was an assis-tant with B.C.’s 2009 u-18 girlssquad.

One of his biggest influenceswas Vancouver Giants coachDon Hay, who welcomed himinto the WHL in Kamloops.

“I’ve had a few major influ-ences, with Nancy Wilson beingmost recent,” Oldenborger

said. “(Hay) was my first coachas a 16-year-old player movingup to Kamloops, and when Istarted coaching I was fortu-nate to touch base with himagain.”

This week’s camp will decidethe makeup of the roster forthe fall tournament in Quebec,but the former defencemanknows what he envisions fromhis team when it hits the ice.

“I like to have high pressure,high tempo style where there’sgood puck movement,” he said.

“I want players to be hon-est and I’m honest with them,so yes, I’m what you’d call aplayer’s coach. What’s impor-tant for me is hard work andleaving it at the rink.”

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections May 22 - 28, 2011★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Although manythings remain to be handled in money areas, lifestarts to lighten up. A restless feeling enters for thenext four weeks, as do short trips, errands, lots ofconversations and casual meetings. These weeksbring your first opportunity in some months to makepeace with someone who has been quietly butstrongly opposing you. You should make peace, orcome to some understanding (especially Monday,Friday/Saturday) because this person has the upperhand, and will for some time. It might even be yourmate! Happiness early, weariness midweek, thenenergy Friday/Saturday.Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks aheademphasizemoney, earning and spending, possessionsand memory work/learning. (Dante said there’s nolearning if you understand but don’t remember.) Beambitious Sunday/Monday. Despite a wee frustrationSunday morning, most factors line up for success,especially Monday. Happiness, social joys andoptimism enter midweek! But retreat Friday eveningto Saturday – rest, plan, contemplate. Employment orhealth matters could face an obstacle Friday. Patienceand thinking will show the way past it. Your charismakeeps shining, right into June: continue with projects.Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma andeffectiveness climb over the four weeks ahead. Startimportant projects, tackle chores that intimidated you,ask favours, chase someone.Through June 3, life (andyour efforts) can bring social breakthroughs, light love,freedom, or bring you a true mate, a lucky relocationor a beneficial contract! But by subtle stages, nowto June 2012, you’re turning toward quiet solitude,charity, governmental links, institutional connections,and administrative tasks. These will be lucky. Thehustle-bustle world won’t be. Joy has barriers Friday,none Saturday!

Cancer June 21-July 22: This week and the nextthree are a “cross-over.” Part of your life will be tired,restricted, seeking rest, solitude and contemplation.You want to sum up and plan. Another part will besocial, optimistic, seeking fun and looking forward tofuture events. This second part is emerging, and will,by late June, win out for a year, bringing great luck,social delights, wish fulfillment, light romance, and alove of life! But every spring needs a cold March, sowe can prepare. Use these weeks ahead to plan, fulfillobligations, and clear your desk. A career might cometrue. Wisdom, midweek.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Two themes occupy you overthe next four weeks: career, ambition and prestigerelations (e.g., with VIPs) are one. The other is wishfulfillment, light romance, social joys, optimism and“future gazing.” In the long run, now to June 2012,the ambition area will prove more powerful and morebeneficial. But for the month ahead, social delights,flirting and optimism win out. (In this, though, bewilling to deepen flirtation into real romance, anddon’t believe all the “social promise” you see.) Begracious: a VIP, boss or parent will be impatient intomid-late June. Opportunity, Monday!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Although the ambitiousside of your life is emphasized for the next fourweeks, don’t throw everything into this area– and DON’T do anything unethical to get ahead,don’t change jobs, don’t push or dare a boss orparent, and don’t launch a business. That adviceholds right into August 2012. Do, though, acceptanything that comes to you. This year and a halfdemands strict “morality” from you: on the goodside, in two weeks you start a year-long period ofwisdom, understanding and gentle love. But avoidlegal hassles for four weeks. Attraction, midweek!Financial caution Friday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Legal, cultural, love,international, higher education, far travel andpublishing themes enter until late June. In addition,the next two weeks might bring (or further) a life-mateattraction or a major opportunity. But don’t lean tooheavily on this entire (legal to publishing) zone, for itmight promise more than it delivers. Simultaneously,through the weeks ahead, an accent grows on secretsand secret action, sexual desires, lifestyle changes,investments, commitments: these will benefit yougreatly from June to June 2012! Romance frustratesSunday day, but night’s magic!Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The bulge of workthat piled on you over the last half year (and lastsummer) is quickly ending. Now through June 2012your efforts will be rewarded with opportunities.But you might briefly lose direction during the fewweeks ahead. Some advice: for two weeks, continueto accept responsibility, extra work. For four weeks,be wary of committing yourself deeply, whetherit’s a financial, sexual or lifestyle commitment.(E.g., moving to Alaska is a lifestyle commitment.)Wariness is warranted in these zones right intoAugust 2012. For four weeks, don’t fight. Midweek,romance.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Both opportunities andopposition face you for a few weeks.A romance mightturn to life-mate decisions. Relocation, agreements,contract negotiations, litigation, these arise. But bewary of all these: now through August 2011, theymight contain pitfalls. If you feel you’re chasing analways-elusive or ever-receding goal, opportunityor relationship, turn your back on it, completely. If itjust falls into your lap, accept. Soon work duties willexpand, maybe hugely, to fill the 12 months ahead.Huge success could follow! Steady your nerves; learnto work without stress.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The four weeks aheademphasize work, health and machinery concerns.Don’t give everything to this area – especially, don’tbury yourself in work to avoid other, scarier things suchas romance. Romance, creative and speculative urges,pleasure, beauty, sports and games – these mildlyintensify now, and will grow to huge proportions duringthe 12 months ahead. During the same year ahead,you’re going to meet good luck in administrative,governmental or institutional situations. Carefulwith money Sunday – chase it Monday. Nice friendsmidweek. Home irks Friday, soothes Saturday.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: A month of romance,creativity, pleasure and beauty starts now. Kids willcharm you, you’ll excel at sports and games. You’llride a winning streak! But many matters at home, oraffecting your security, intensify now. This can bringfriction as well as affection, talk and action. Usethese weeks to prepare, if possible, for an extended(year-long) period of good luck in this zone, whichwill arrive June 4. Study real estate ads, for example,or retirement plans, or get repair/reno quotes. Yourenergy and charisma soar Sunday/Monday. You mightattract love! Money, midweek.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks ahead featuresecurity, your domestic situation, real estate, rest andrecuperation, Mother Nature, nutrition, gardening. Dowhat you must, but don’t plunge wholly into theseareas, and don’t begin big important projects here.Youmight want to end some associations and projects,and to begin others – but this would probably causea lot of talk, and lead nowhere. Some very interestingtrips and lively new friends are on the horizon, butthey aren’t here yet. Rest, meditate and plan Sunday/Monday. Your energy rises nicely midweek. Moneyirks Friday, succeeds Saturday.
