Up to 10 spots acrossCoquitlam could be home tofood carts this summer.

Council unanimouslyapproved issuing a request forinformation and expressionof interest (RFEI) Monday,which represents a prelimin-ary step in allowing vendorsto submit applications to plytheir trades on city property.

The majority of the loca-tions are in the Town Centrearea. The others are nearBlue Mountain Park, DouglasCollege, and in Maillardvillenear the intersection ofBrunette Avenue andLougheed Highway.

“It is intended that theprogram will be up andrunning, hopefully, for thesummertime this year,” citysolicitor Heather Bradfieldsaid Monday.

City staff will weigh a hand-ful of factors in reviewingthe applications: the type ofproducts vendors will sell, theequipment that will be used,and the times the vendors willbe willing to operate.

The final locations will bedetermined by Bill Susak, thecity’s manager of engineeringand public works. Demand,accessibility and public safetywill be factored into the deci-sions around each potentiallocation.

If voters have become accustomedto the brutality of provincial politicsin B.C., they may be in for a bit of asurprise when they head to the pollsin May.

NDP Leader Adrian Dix was inCoquitlam Tuesday to address theTri-Cities Chamber of Commerce,and he brought with him the positivetone he’s been preaching since he waschosen by the party two years ago.

He suggested the quality of publicparticipation is not well reflected inthe political debate, and he wants to

see it change.“I think the time has passed when

we should be attacking people person-ally who are contributing to makingour communities better, and I’m notgoing to do it,” Dix told the chamber.

Instead, the NDP leader said hewants to have a better debate aboutthe issues — like housing and trans-portation — which he argued affecteveryone in the province.

“These issues require complicatedleadership, people working togetherfor change,” he said. “And a politicsthat is increasingly personal and nastydoesn’t foster that after an election.”

Dix also touched on a few initiativesan NDP government would consider if

elected, during his roughly 30-minutespeech.

He argued the key economic issuein the coming years will be a shortageof skilled workers in B.C.

The NDP leader noted his partywould reinstate non-refundable educa-tion grants to help address the issue,while paying for them by reinstating aminimum tax on the big banks.

Dix also weighed in on the ongoingfunding kerfuffle with TransLink, sug-gesting an NDP government wouldconsider using some of the carbon taxrevenues to fund transit.

He added that any decision tochange the structure of the transpor-tation authority would need to include

input from municipalities, businessesand the general community.

Dix also hinted that an NDP govern-ment isn’t prepared to make big chan-ges if elected.

“These times require us to be clearabout what we’re going to do, thingsthat we’ll support only when themoney becomes available,” he said.

“I don’t think it makes sense, forour supporters or for those who mightoppose the NDP, for us to proposethings that we can’t afford to pay for.”

However, when asked about a time-line for when the NDP would releaseits entire election platform, Dix said

On Sunday, Carmelle Peart wouldhave turned 83.

Her family had plans to takeher out to dinner and spend timetogether on her special day.

Instead of celebrating a birthday,Peart’s family is now grieving the lossof a mother who is being described asa “wonderful person.”

“She was looking forward to lifeand that’s part of thetragedy,” an emotionalTony Saunders, Peart’sson-in-law, told TheNOW.

The Burnaby resi-dent died Saturdayafternoon after beinghit by a car in frontof the Safeway alongAustin Avenue. Peartwas in the area for adentist appointment,but showed up early.

She had just finished some bankingand was shopping in the area whenshe was hit.

Word of her death has devastatedthe family.

“It’s been really hard,” Saunderssaid, adding at first, his wife didn’tbelieve the officers who showed upat the door to inform them of hermother’s death.

But through their grief, the familyis painting a touching portrait of athoughtful and well-liked woman.

Saunders said his mother-in-lawwas very involved in her church, theAll Saints Parish in Coquitlam. Peartwould often make baskets of goodiesfor people she knew who were in need.

Saunders also noted she was in theprocess of downsizing and had justgiven away a load of furniture andappliances to a former caregiver whohad fallen on hard times.

“She was the type of person whowas well-liked and did a lot for herneighbours,” he said.

The tragic incident also involves anunfortunate twist.

Peart had just recovered from a carcrash two months ago and was start-ing to get her independence back.

Last week was the first time thesenior was out on herown since the inci-dent. Saunders saidhis mother-in-law hadalso recently pledgedto join more groupsand travel in thecoming year, whichincluded a long-await-ed trip to Cuba.

As for the crash,police are saying littleabout the investiga-tion.

At the time, Coquitlam RCMP saidit appeared the vehicle went out ofcontrol and drove up on to a sidewalk,hitting the victim.

Media reports have suggested thedriver was trying to park. The driverstayed at the scene, while the roadswere shut down for several hoursfor the investigation. Peart’s familybelieves she was dragged underneaththe car, but is hoping to get moreanswers into the cause of the crash.

Her daughter Anne Saunders wantsan apology from the driver and ispushing for charges to be laid in theincident.

“I have to know what happened,”she said.

At best, the confusion couldtranslate into frustration, anx-iety or a delayed commute.

At worst, it could lead to anaccident or death.

Those were the fears com-ing out of Coquitlam councilchambers Monday, as staffand council seem to be at log-gerheads with the province intrying to provide accurate andconcise signage in the areaaround the new Port MannBridge.

Specifically, council wasangered by provincial rules

that stipulate the use ofnumbers to denote highwaynames instead of the commonnames themselves: BarnetHighway being referred toas Highway 7A; LougheedHighway appearing on signsas Highway 7; and Route 7Bbeing used as a place name forthe Mary Hill Bypass.

City officials are also ada-mant that the city’s name beincluded on as many signs aspossible.

“We’ve got to get thisfixed,” said Mayor RichardStewart.

“We have to have bettersignage here, because other-wise we’re going to end up

with accidents. We’re going toend up with people hurt.”

Staff have made someinroads in the debate sincethe issue first arose, and wereable to get ministry officialsto include “Coquitlam” on sixsigns on the east side of thePort Mann Bridge.

“Staff have taken this mat-ter as far as they can at thestaff level … we’ve had somewins,” said Bill Susak, thecity’s manager of engineeringand public works.

“The province, how-ever, insists that LougheedHighway should not be calledLougheed Highway butremain as Route 7.

“It is a policy of the prov-ince, evidently.”

Compounding the city’sfrustration is the fact thatthe province’s regulations arebeing applied to city-ownedroadways — all of the BarnetHighway and most of theLougheed Highway are ownedby the city.

“Lougheed Highway isn’teven their highway. It’s ourroad, but they’re insisting onapplying their policy to ourroad. And I think that’s anexample of really not workingwith the municipalities,” saidCoun. Selina Robinson.

The NOW attempted to con-tact Mary Polak, the provincial

minister of transportation andinfrastructure, though she didnot respond to an interviewrequest.

However, ministry spokes-person Kate Trotter explainedsome of the parameters ofthe province’s sign plan inNovember, when the issue wasfirst addressed at a councilmeeting.

“The use of the numer-ical reference for highwaysis a consistent practice usedacross the province and avoidsinconsistencies that generatefrom jurisdictional boundariesand local references to areasalong the highway network,”Trotter said at the time.


Signs around bridge a danger, city says

“She was the type ofperson who was well-liked and did a lot for

her neighbours.”

his party needs to wait until after the provincial budget comesdown later this month.

As for courting the business community, a block of voters nottypically associated with voting NDP, Dix said it’s more import-ant for business and government to come together after theelection.

It also appears his positive approach to the campaign is rub-bing off on his foes from the other side of the political spec-trum.

Coquitlam-Burke Mountain Liberal MLA Doug Horne saidhe agrees with Dix when it comes to the tone of politics in theprovince.

“I think we should be more positive generally,” he told TheNOW.

“I think that’s what most people don’t understand — wedon’t necessarily disagree with what the priorities are, it’s howwe actually get to where we need to get.”

Horne added he doesn’t see his party raising corporate taxesor taxes on big banks, and said the Liberals are instead focusedon trying to grow the economy.

Dix won’t releaseparty platform

Once the city decides on the “best” vendors available, appli-cants will then be ranked accordingly. The highest-rankedapplicants will be offered their preferred locations, while otherapplicants will be offered locations based on their rankings, andthe locations remaining after higher-ranked applicants havebeen chosen.

Port Moody was the first Tri-Cities municipality to allow foodcarts, as part of a program that began last summer at RockyPoint Park. Recently, Port Moody council chopped the numberof vendors allowed in the park to two from four, after estab-lished food sellers raised concerns.

Roland Joseph Bourque died on the morningof April 2, 2012 at the North Fraser PretrialCentre in Port Coquitlam.

Now, the BC Coroners Service has calledan inquest into the death of the 69-year-oldinmate to find out exactly how he died.

No date has been set for the inquest, but anannouncement will be made once one has beenfinalized.

According to a press release, presiding cor-oner Vincent Stancato and a jury will hear evi-dence from subpoenaed witnesses to determinethe facts surrounding the death.

While the jury may not, by law, make anyfindings of legal responsibility, it will have theopportunity to make recommendations aimedat preventing deaths under similar circum-stances in the future.

Coroner Barb McLintock wouldn’t releasethe cause of death, but noted it was not nat-ural.

There were reports at the time thatBourque’s death was a possible suicide.

His death was the first of two at the jail in2012.

Last July, emergency crews were called tothe prison after corrections staff found aninmate in his cell in medical distress.

The inmate was identified as David WilliamBrodrick, 44.

Attempts were made to revive the man, buthe was pronounced dead at the scene.

IHIT was called in to investigate, whileBC Corrections conducted a critical incidentreview to examine the circumstances of thedeath.

No further details of the case have beenreleased.

Work and safety conditions at the jail havecome under increased attention following thedeath of the two inmates.

In October, WorkSafe BC agreed to inspectthe jail as part of an assessment of all nineprovincial jails.

The inspections are expected to take up to ayear to complete.

Coquitlam says no to pub plan

The location of Micky’sPublic House is both a bless-ing and a curse, according tocity officials.

The owner of theCoquitlam-based bar — for-merly known as the TwoParrots Pub — applied for aseries of changes to its operat-ing model Monday, includ-ing an increase in capacityand the size of its licensedarea, and an extension in thenumber of hours it can servealcohol.

But those changes wenttoo far, according to council,which opted not to supportthe application due to thepub’s location.

“If we’re going to establishthese places where people cango out and have a drink in theevening, we want them to beable to get home safely,” saidMayor Richard Stewart.

“And this is a place whereyou have to drive to it, andyou have to drive home.”

The proposal for the bar,located at 170 Golden Dr.,would have seen the capacityfor its liquor primary licenceincrease to 247 patrons from215.

The extended hours of ser-vice would have allowed thebar to stay open for an hourlater — until 2 a.m. — onFridays and Saturdays, anduntil 1:30 a.m. from Mondaythrough Thursday.

Currently, the pub isallowed to stay open until

midnight from Monday toThursday, and until 1 a.m. onFridays and Saturdays.

An additional request wouldhave paved the way for thepub to open at 9 a.m.

And while most councillorsbemoaned its location in rela-tion to transit options, nearlyeveryone on council agreedthat the pub’s location — it’ssituated in an industrial area— is ideal in terms of notcausing a disturbance to near-by residents or businesses.

In fact, the only two piecesof public correspondence thecity received on the proposedchanges stated no oppositionto the move.

Couns. Brent Asmundsonand Terry O’Neill votedagainst not supporting theapplication.

“This is already an estab-lishment that sells a lot ofliquor working in this place,”O’Neill said.

“It wants to now try toimprove its business and bet-ter serve the public. So onthat narrow ground I willoppose this.”

Asmundson said the hoursof operation won’t necessarilydissuade people from drinkingand driving, and noted that hewas previously struck by animpaired driver at 10 p.m.

Council’s decision onMonday will now be for-warded to the provincialLiquor Control and LicensingBranch, and will serve as thecity’s input on the application.

Couns. Lou Sekora, LindaReimer and Neal Nicholsonwere absent from the vote.


Attempted B&E in Port Moody

Port Moody police are asking residentsin the College Park area to be on thelookout for any suspicious activity, fol-lowing the second attempted break-in inthe neighbourhood in a week.

Police were called to the neighbour-hood Monday morning after a residentcaught a man trying to break into a

home. The suspect fled.The department’s police dog, Sabre,

was called out to track the man, but hemanaged to get away.

No one was hurt in the incident andnothing was stolen from the home, policesay.

It’s the sixth residential break andenter recorded in the city so far in 2013.

“It’s not a high number by any means,but any time a house is broken into it’san unfortunate thing,” said Port Moody

police spokesman Const. Luke VanWinkel, adding it’s difficult to say if anyof the break-ins are related.

He said community groups have beennotified, while the department intendsto step up patrols in the area during thedaytime.

In the meantime, police are remindingresidents to lock doors when they’re gonefor the day and call the non-emergencyline if they see anything out of place intheir neighbourhood.

The B.C. Liberal government has hired aneconomic consultant to lend credence to itsupcoming budget, but I’m not sure that’s

going to be enough to make British Columbiansbelievers again.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong insists he willdeliver a budget on Feb. 19 that is not only balancedbut that actually projects a surplus.

The budget, of course, is made up of anticipatedrevenues and projected spending costs. To assess therevenue side of the equation the government hashired former Bank of Montreal econo-mist Tim O’Neill to vet the numbers.

But de Jong is likely fooling himself ifhe thinks the appointment of the well-respected O’Neill will magically solve hisgovernment’s serious credibility prob-lems attached to a budget that will bedelivered less than two months from thestart of the election campaign.

The voters in this province are stillsuffering from the hangover resultingfrom the pre-election budget in 2009that turned out to be fiction, somethingthat seemed apparent during the campaign itself butwas only owned up to by the B.C. Liberals after thevotes were tallied.

Compounding the credibility problem was theintroduction of the HST so quickly after the election,which seemed sneaky and underhanded.

Since then, the government has tabled three con-secutive budgets that came home with large deficits.With time running out in their mandate, the B.C.Liberals are now asking the public to believe thatthey’ve suddenly got their fiscal house in order.

According to the government’s own books, rev-enues must grow by an eye-popping $2 billion nextyear to balance things (assuming there is no changein the government’s spending plans).

A tricky task for O’Neill will be to assess thegovernment’s projections for revenues flowing toit from natural resources, particularly the naturalgas sector. I’ve noted this challenge before — onpaper, the government expects in the coming yearto bring in an additional $500 million in natural gasroyalties, at a time when there is a glut of gas in the

market.Another area that may be challen-

ging for O’Neill is the anticipated moveby the government to sell off a bunchof assets and to book the money fromthose sales as a one-time revenue grabto help balance the budget.

This will be one of the more contro-versial parts of the budget and it willbe interesting if O’Neill sides with thegovernment’s arguments in this area.The Opposition New Democrats are sureto condemn the asset sales as a phony

and misleading way to balance the books.Apparently O’Neill will not be asked to look at the

spending side. But with an election on the horizon,there isn’t much flexibility on this side of the equa-tion anyways because big spending cuts would bepolitically dangerous.

The one area to watch is health-care spending,because its huge budget means it can be temptingfor a government to play games with it.

For example, the B.C. Liberals’ three-year fiscalplan projects a $600-million increase in health-care

spending next year. Will the budget stick to that fig-ure, or will it shave a couple of hundred million offthat increase to make a balanced budget that muchmore possible? But any big reduction in the growthof health-care spending from what was plannedwould be looked at dubiously at best and would sim-ply add to the government’s credibility problem withelection year budgets.

In any event, I wish O’Neill luck. He’s beenbrought into a budget process that has bruised manypeople in the past and he has to hope he emergesunscathed himself.

•••The saga of B.C. auditor-general John Doyle took

a couple of twists in recent days. First, Australianmedia reported Doyle was the leading candidate toreplace the auditor-general in the state of Victoria.

Then the chief clerk of the B.C. legislature blastedDoyle in front of clerks and speakers from otherprovinces gathered at the legislature for a confer-ence (his comments were inadvertently sent out overthe in-house speaker phone system, and thereforewere piped right into the press gallery for reportersto hear).

Doyle has also publicly ridiculed the all-partycommittee that offered him a two-year extension,and demanded one of the members be removed fromthe committee (an extraordinary statement by anofficer of the legislature under any circumstance).

Perhaps Doyle’s outburst signals he’s had it withB.C. and is indeed ready to return home DownUnder.

Budget process is lacking in credibility

Re: “Tennis players want better courts,” Friday,Feb. 1.

Your article and interview with Kiyo Breitingregarding the Coquitlam Tennis Club trying to lobbyfor an indoor tennis facility was informa-tive and exact to the point.

I’ve known Ms. Breiting for a few yearsnow as I’ve volunteered as a tennis coachfor their annual summer instructionalsessions.

Tennis is a lifetime sport that is con-tinually growing not only within thecommunity but nationally as well.

There are at least three new outdoor fields at theCoquitlam Town Park, yet it is a complete shame

that the City of Coquitlam has no intentions to buildan affordable indoor tennis facility.

This is one reason why I did not vote for MayorRichard Stewart during last year’s election.

With aggressive expansion coming tothe amount of coal and grain PortMetro Vancouver exports, it’s time to

take a closer look at the price our lungs aregoing to pay.

Vancouver Coastal Health and the FraserHealth Authority, along with more than twodozen public health organizations, have raisedred flags and asked for more health-impactassessments of this increased export activity.But the port enjoys federal jurisdiction, mean-ing provincial and local processes and stan-dards can be skipped over at whim.

All too often the port appears to operate ina bubble, pursuing its own goals in isolationfrom the community around it. But, sadly, thebubble they seal themselves in doesn’t containthe particulate drifting off the heaps of coaland grain destined for the burners and appe-tites of Asia.

The port says its own testing is rigorous, butthat’s not enough. As we’ve seen many timesin the past, Port Metro Vancouver has longpreferred “beg forgiveness” over “ask permis-sion” when it comes to how its activities willaffect the communities around them.

Smoking rates are at their lowest in decadesas people are finally clued in to the dangersof the carcinogenic particulates involved andhave made the decision to avoid them. But noone can decide what’s in the air they breathein their own communities.

If Port Metro Vancouver isn’t going to beproactive in dealing with ongoing health-impact assessments, then it’s time to give ourhealth authorities the tools they need so wecan all breathe a little easier.

“I have always wondered why, if most ofthe crimes are committed by a handful ofhabitual criminals, then why don’t the policeon every shift just use surveillance techniquesto monitor these few perpetrators? We need toconserve our scarce municipal resources andpolicing costs seem to be a large factor in thecity’s budget. If we spent the resources follow-ing these few individuals it seems to me wewould save a lot of time and money.”

Bill JohnstonCoquitlam

Bill, I am worried that some readers mightthink I submitted this question under anassumed name because it really hits the bull’seye of how the Coquitlam RCMP “does” poli-cing in our jurisdiction and why we do it theway we do.

The phenomenon you refer to is called thePareto Principle or the 80-20 rule, and thebasic premise is that, for many events, roughly80 per cent of the effects can be attributed to20 per cent of the causes. Applying that prin-ciple to local crime and safety issues has fun-damentally changed the way Coquitlam RCMPoperates.

First, allow me to indulge in a little localhistory. Before 2005, the Coquitlam RCMP’sapproach to policing (which was practised inmost other jurisdictions as well) was primarilyreactive.

Basically, our members spent their timerunning from one call to another and conduct-ing follow-up investigations. There was a lotof excellent work being done by my colleaguesbut the approach wasn’t what you would callstrategic and, despite all the effort expended,

we were having no real impact reducing crim-inal activity over the long term — propertycrime in particular remained a problem.

In 2005 our service model changed, thanksto a combination of research from otherjurisdictions indicating that strategic policinghad a greater impact on public safety thanreactive policing, and some innovative seniorpolice executives at RCMP headquarters andCoquitlam RCMP (including ourcurrent OIC or Officer in Charge,Supt. Claude Wilcott) who werewilling to test some of those prom-ising approaches locally.

That was how our local CrimeReduction Strategy (CRS) came tobe. Actually, it was a much morechallenging implementation pro-cess than that paragraph indicatesbut it has been well worth it (moreon that later).

Now, back to your question. Thebedrock of the CRS is the 80:20 rule. Ratherthan waiting for calls to come in then rushingto respond, we work as an integrated team ofcrime analysts, first responders and investiga-tors to identify and target the “20” with thelong term objective of reducing the “80.”

In a nutshell, it goes like this. Every yearour crime analysts review all of our police filesto find out which offenders have been the mostcriminally active, who they are known to asso-ciate with and which crime types they are mostinvolved in.

From there we create two lists — one of“prolific offenders” who become targets for arange of tactics aimed at curtailing their crim-inal activity and the other of “signal crimes,”

which we use to monitor our progress.The key to the success of our CRS is

developing intelligence about prolific offend-ers. Knowing who they are, what they do andwhat relationships and lifestyle factors keepthem criminally active has made us extremelyeffective at tracking and targeting the peopleand their activities.

Put another way, we are reducing theoffences by focusing on the offend-ers. And what we’ve learned in theseven years since piloting the CRSis that strategic policing works.

In 2007, the first full year of datapost-implementation showed thatwe had achieved region-leadingreductions in all four of our signalcrimes, including an almost 30-per-cent reduction in thefts fromvehicles over the course of a singleyear.

An E Division research projectthe next year showed that our achievementswere significant even when compared with thenationwide trend of falling rates of propertycrime.

Our success was, and is, largely based onrigorous analysis of information (which is whyI’m often heard encouraging citizens to reportcrime), close teamwork within our detachmentand strong partnerships with neighbouringpolice organizations as well as local govern-ments, businesses and community groups tofind effective, long-term resolutions to localcrime and disorder issues.

Bill, you asked why the police don’t just usesurveillance techniques on every shift to mon-itor these few perpetrators as a way of conserv-

ing resources. I remember seeing moustache-clad cops sitting in a car “doing surveillance”on TV. The portrayal could hardly be furtherfrom the truth.

In reality, surveillance is one of the mostresource-intensive tools available to police. Itrequires a lot of equipment, and a sizable teamwith the experience and training required tomake sure the project’s results are useful forinvestigators and admissible in court. It alsorequires a lot of time.

If trying to be responsible and accountablein the cost of policing is the intention, thendoing surveillance on all prolific offenders onevery shift would not be the answer.

My colleagues and I pride ourselves ondeveloping operational plans that apply themost effective tools and tactics to make thebiggest possible impact on public safety,including making sure there are always copsavailable to respond to service calls from cit-izens in need. Because we know that while the80-20 rule applies to crime and safety, we alsohave to take care of the leftover 20-80.

Bill, I hope you have gained a better under-standing of what we do after reading this. Ifyou have more questions, please e-mail me [email protected].

Port Moody budget discussed

If Port Moody residents areunpleased by the prospect offorking over an extra Bordenfor their property taxes thisyear, they sure aren’t show-ing it.

The city held a publicbudget consultation meetingon Jan. 31 at Inlet Centre and,much like at many meetingsin the past on the topic, staffand council outnumberedresidents.

But that didn’t stop the cityfrom presenting the prelim-inary 2013 budget, which iscalling for a 6.65-per-cent taxincrease.

That figure works out to$113 for the average PortMoody household.

City officials point out thebudget isn’t set in stone. Thetax increase, when factored inwith the 0.3-per-cent utilityrate increase, works out to a4.3-per-cent tax increase, oran additional $116 per house-hold.

Terry Hyska was one of onlya handful of residents whoasked questions related to thebudget.

He said he’s not so worriedabout this year’s tax increase,but rather about what plansare in place to spur economicgrowth in future years as city

expenses continue to rise.“I don’t see that much

new business coming to PortMoody,” Hyska told The NOW,adding the answers to hisquestion reaffirmed what healready assumed — that theEvergreen Line has put eco-nomic development on hold.

He said he’s cautiously opti-mistic economic developmentaround the future transit linewill bring relief to the city’sbottom line.

Other topics discussed werethe possibility of pay parkingas a revenue generator, andthe potential impact if MetroVancouver were to move to aregional police force.

A further breakdown of thebudget numbers shows thebulk of the shortfall is relatedto an increase in salariesworth $570,000, or 1.93 percent, and $650,000 in policingcosts, which is worth another2.21 per cent.

Other items in the budgetshortfall include $143,000 forthe Inlet Centre fire hall debtlevy, $192,000 for inflation,and $444,000 for operationalservice priorities.

City councillors alsoweighed in with theirthoughts about the budget.

Coun. Rosemary Small saidshe feels the tax increase istoo high and is hoping it canbe reduced by one or two percent.

“It’s very difficult. Peopleare demanding in our citythat they get good service andwe’re trying to provide it,” shesaid.

“I would not like to see uscut service for the sake of cut-ting taxes.”

Coun. Gerry Nuttall saidhe’s been advocating for zero-increase budgeting since hestarted on council, adding heplans to bring forward ideasto chop the increase by up tohalf.

“We will be thoroughly dis-cussing and debating this toget it to the very least increasewe possibly can,” he said.

Mayor Mike Clay suggestedeven though the number ofpeople at the input sessionwas small, the message is usu-ally the same.

“They [residents] like theservice levels, but they wantto make sure they’re gettingvalue for their dollar, and sodo I,” he said.

Clay also cautioned thatnew revenue sources like payparking could end up beingjust another tax on residents.

He also didn’t appear in arush to make drastic cuts inthe budget to drop the tax-rate increase.

“You can always cut abudget, [but] what is it thatyou’re cutting and what’s theimpact?” he asked.

The total city budget for

2013 is pegged at $31.3 mil-lion, with nearly one third,or $9.3 million, going towardpolice services.

If the budget stays put,homeowners can expect to pay$2,837 in total property taxesin 2013 based on the averageassessed property value of$531,600.

The next steps for thebudget include more budgetdeliberations and the adoptionof the tax rates bylaw by May2013.

Year of theSnakemaybring long-term successChineseNewYear is themost

important of the traditionalChinese holidays. In China, itis also known as the ‘SpringFestival’, the literal translationof the modern Chinese name(see Names in Chinese below).ChineseNewYear celebrationstraditionally ran from ChineseNew Year’s Day itself, the firstday of the first month of theChinese calendar, to the Lan-tern Festival on the 15th dayof the first month. The eveningpreceding Chinese New Year’sDay is an occasion for Chinesefamilies to gather for the an-nual reunion dinner. Becausethe Chinese calendar is luni-solar, the Chinese New Year isoften referred to as the “LunarNew Year”.Chinese New Year is the

longest and most importantfestival in the Chinese calen-dar. The origin of Chinese NewYear is itself centuries old andgains significance because ofseveral myths and traditions.

Chinese New Year 2013 is theyear of the Snake. On February10 we enter the year of theWater Snake. Noted for theirgrace, complexity and poise,Snakes are also a symbol ofwisdom. It’s this intelligenceand ability to solve problemsthat promises 2013 will be oneof steady progress and long-term success.Although rational, Snakes

are highly intuitive, and so thecombination of logic and in-stinct will be an asset particu-larly in the world of business.Apart from being hardwork-ing, career-oriented and am-bitious Snakes are known for

having the Midas touch.However, shortcuts won’t

yield results, only focus and at-tention to detail. The Snake’smysterious and sneaky traitscan also be used to uncoverloopholes.According to Feng Shui ex-

perts we can expect upwardtrendsparticularly in industriesinvolving finance, education,media, metals and minerals.On an individual level, mostcan also hope to improve theircurrent financial situation. Allin all, many will emerge fromthis year stronger, wiser, betteroff and with a well-deservedpat on the back!

On the journey of parenthood,focus on enjoying the ride

Just over four years ago, I set aboutsharing my family’s chaotic journeyin the hope that our “Growing Pains”

could provide a little humour and a pointof reference for other families to relateto.

So often as moms or dads, we areinundated with messages of how we needto, or should be, or questioning why onEarth we would, and why wedon’t — but the reality is thatall of us are getting up in themorning (often on way toolittle sleep), putting our bestfoot forward and are gratefulfor making it through to theend of the day.

We don’t always get itright, we certainly don’t haveall the answers and we willcontinue to make crazy mis-takes, but each of us still gets up againevery day and sets off with the best inten-tions to be the best parents we can forour kids. More important than being thebest though, is enjoying the ride.

And what a ride we’ve had over thepast four years. When I started writing,Son was just nine months old and I washoping that Daughter might be startingfull-time kindergarten.

Funnily enough, some things don’tchange much, as in August 2008 whenI wrote my first column, the whole fam-ily had just had stomach flu, the funof which hit us hard again just beforeChristmas this season, as well.

Some things have truly changedthough, and I was absolutely delightedthat full-time kindergarten was intro-duced in time for my daughter to benefitfrom full-time education from age five.With Daughter at school and Son grow-ing and increasingly active, we alsobenefited from the Strong Start programat our school, which was (and still is) an

incredible free resource foryoung families.

As our kids have grownand changed, so has ourcommunity. Port Coquitlam’sfirst highrise went up, andCoquitlam expanded intoBurke Mountain.

But while the landscapemay be altered, the essenceof our community in theTri-Cities remains steadfast.

It is an incredible place to raise a fam-ily and we are fortunate to have some ofthe most committed, down-to-earth andhardworking leaders.

Locally, we have seen new bike andskateboard parks to thrill the kids andspend many an enjoyable family after-noon in, new and improved dog parks, acommitment to end bullying and a newcity library.

As I leave this particular adventurebehind, I can look back over the columnsof the last four years and berate myselffor creating some of the chaos (liketaking White Rabbit to the Teddy BearParade that fateful day) or commiserate

with myself that there were times thatwere incredibly tough (such as some ofthe lost lives we have seen during theseyears), but it will change nothing andcannot undo either the lessons taught orthe pain endured.

So instead, I choose to reflect on theoverall ride we have taken, the pathscrossed, friends made, adventures sur-vived and just how far we have come.

And I thank The NOW for giving methis opportunity to record some of thefabulous memories that we’ve made.

I may never be the “best,” but I suream enjoying the ride. And I don’t need tobe the best, because “best” always impliesthere is a worse, be it our own selves theday before or somebody else.

We are not competing as parents andthere’s no point in beating ourselves upover how badly yesterday might havegone (even if it went as badly as our tripto Mayne Island in 2011).

But if we stop, breathe deeply andsmell their freshly cleaned hair after bathtime, or watch their wonderment as theyrun around in new snow in their pyjamasand maybe listen to them giggling hys-terically over a new joke, perhaps we canbask in the warm and fuzzy lovelinessthat only comes from being a parent.

To all the moms and dads out there,buckle up tight because it’s a hell ofa ride, but that’s why we came to thisamusement park — for the fun!

Go, enjoy and most important of all,remember that YOU ROCK!

Make your own care packageMy sister — thoughtful

like our mother — isknown for her care

packages.When seeing us off before

a vacation, she would packfor each of our kids a bag oftreats along with activities tokeep them occupied for thetrip. After Christmas dinner,she packed my care package ofturkey, stuffing and yams forthe next day’s lunch.

Though you may or maynot have a sister or auntwho does this, you need anddeserve some pamperingyourself. Why not pack yourown self-care package?

Also called coping kits,these emotional emergencycrash kits are invaluable toolsfor our mental well-being. Wemay need them for our downdays, when we are grieving aloss, struggling in our rela-tionships or just feeling blue.

They can provide perspec-tive and strength when we arestressed, anxious or worried,and they can helpus get through apanic attack. Theycan give us a liftwhen we’re feelinggrumpy and coolus off when tem-pers simmer.

Without pre-paring a self-carepackage, we maydefault to moremaladaptive coping habits.Smoking, drinking, drugs andovereating may make us feelbetter for the moment whilesabotaging our health.

So what are the essentialcontents of your self-carepackage?

You may need printedstep-by-step instructions toremind you what to do in theevent of a panic attack, anemotional crisis or a totallynegative day. In the heat of

the moment, when you arefeeling overwhelmed, you maynot remember them.

The instructions for a panicattack may include a reminderto take slow, easy breaths;

recite positive,calming aphor-isms; and imagineyour body calm-ing with eachslow breath.

Consider writ-ing a letter toyour future selfand putting it inyour coping kit.It could remind

you of your personal strength,the people and things thatyou appreciate, what youbelieve in, and the convic-tion that you will get throughthis tough time as you havebefore.

We all need a little coach-ing when we feel over-whelmed. Emotions canhijack our minds and narrowour perspectives.

Your rainy day coping kitmay include objects — such

as photos — that remindyou of that which makes lifeworthwhile, particularly yourpositive relationships. Includecards and messages fromthem.

In case of an emotionalemergency, include your life-lines — the people you shouldcall. These are the ones whocare about you and can giveyou a positive perspective.

Of course, every self-carepackage should include life’slittle pleasures: your favouritesongs (the tunes that alwaysgive you a lift and the wordsyou can’t keep from singingout loud), your favourite mov-ies (that engage your imagina-tion, inspire you or just makeyou laugh) and even a modestserving of your favourite com-fort food.

Your self-care packagecan be a physical box (alwayshandy in case of an emer-gency), in your smart phoneor on your computer’s desk-top. Take the time to prepareyour own. It doesn’t hurt toopen it regularly and to pam-

per yourself.What you can’t pack into

any physical or virtual self-care package is an activityyou always enjoy. It could bedancing, swimming, runningor spending time with a goodfriend. Whatever it is, youshould do it today — and anyday when you need a lift.

(MS) — The milestone ofriding a bike is a big onefor kids and their parents.With new equipment,toddlers can reach thattwo-wheeled milestoneearlier than ever and enjoymany sidewalks and bike

paths together.

According to experts,children 12 to 18 monthsare not bicycle-ready, asthey lack pedalling skillsand their neck musclestrength is insufficient to

allow them to support theweight of a helmet and toendure riding on rougherterrain. Instead, childrenin this age group can buildtheir strength and balanceby using items such asrocking horses.

Trailers are a soundalternative for bringingthe baby along. Theyare lightweight, sturdyand roomy enough foradditional items. Parentsare advised to make surethe trailer is equipped witha tall flag alerting traffic toits presence. If the trailer’sbulky size is daunting, youcan opt for a mounted seatinstead.

Once a child reaches 18months, mounted bike

seats are sleek, easy toinstall, and give parentsanother way to ride a bikewith a baby. However,when dismounting, keepingthe bike upright can bedifficult, experts say.Though front-mountedseats offer better balance,they can interfere with therider’s ability to pedal andsteer, so it is recommendedto test out both seatsbefore choosing.

Once a toddler wants hisown set of wheels, ride-ons and tricycles will helphim or her get used tobike riding and will helpimprove coordination andlearn balance. If your childexhibits signs of pedallingand steering abilities, itmay be time to graduate

to a two-wheeled bike— and without the need fortraining wheels.

Nowadays, kids transitionstraight to balance bikes,two-wheeled bikes withoutpedals. This concept hasparents very pleased byhow quickly their little kidslearn to ride a real bike.

Erin Ruddy, the editor-in-chief of What’s UP!magazine, put her three-year-old son on a balancebike and said she wasamazed to see him ridingwith the rest of the familyalmost immediately.

“It is incredible,” saysRuddy. “We now go onbike rides as a family. Hepicked it up right away.”

One example is thePlasmaBike. Free fromcables, chains and pedals,it has a sleek design andhelps build bike ridingconfidence at an earlystage. PlaSmart tells usno matter which modelparents choose, they willbe able to enjoy watchingtheir child master the artof gliding, while gainingconfidence every “stride” ofthe way.

How to encourage kids to bemore physically activeParents know it’s not always easy to get kids tobe more physically active. But the followingare a few tips parents might find useful whenencouraging their kids to embrace a moreactive lifestyle.• Give toys that encourage physical activity.Kids love toys, and their toys will dictate howthey spend their days. Instead of buying thelatest video game console, give kids toys thatencourage them to be active. This can includeballs, bicycles, jump ropes or even a backyardswing set. Kids who embrace these activities ata young age are more likely to continue doingso into adolescence and adulthood.• Reduce time spent in front of the television.Parents who can effectively minimize theamount of time their child spends in frontof the television, whether reducing their

time spent watching television or playingvideo games, will likely be more successful atinstilling a love of physical activity as well. Itis recommended parents limit their child’s timein front of the television to one to two hoursper day and that includes the time childrenspend playing video games. To further reducekids’ time watching TV, don’t allow televisionsin their bedrooms, as that will only make itharder to monitor just how much time kids arespending in front of their TVs.• Remember that physical activity should befun. Not all kids are athletic and some willlikely bemoan participating in recreationalsports leagues. But that doesn’t mean parentsshould give up on encouraging physical activity.Instead, find a physical activity that your childfinds fun and encourage his or her participation.

The list featured a bonanza of talent, whetheryour need was scoring, defensive acumen, or aspecific stick side.

By the end of Monday’s Western LacrosseAssociation junior draft, every team left the LangleyEvents Centre feeling as though they had personallydiscovered the resting place of Richard III.

The Coquitlam Adanacs were no different.Selecting fifth overall, the senior boxla squadwatched the opening few minutes with deep interestand weren’t disappointed when their turn came.

Coquitlam drafted hometown sniper MartyDinsdale with its first choice, after fellow juniorAdanacs Ben McIntosh, lefthanded defender JeffCornwall and Robert Church went first, third andfourth overall, respectfully.

“The three righthanders were all really greatplayers — Dinsdale, Church and McIntosh,” seniorAdanacs general manager Randy Delmonico said.

“We’re very happy to have Marty Dinsdale. The rolehe’s playing in Calgary (with the National LacrosseLeague Roughnecks) is a defensive transition guy,and he can stay out on offensive. But we see him asan offensive guy with us.”

The 21-year-old Dinsdale was thrilled to be trad-ing a junior Adanac uniform for a senior version.

“It’s great. I didn’t know what to expect com-ing in (to the draft), but to hear Coquitlam call myname was like a dream come true,” said Dinsdale,who led all B.C. Junior league scorers with 38 goalsand 95 points over 16 games.

A well-known need for righthanded depth createda number of scenarios for the Adanacs, includingthe possibility that Church would slide to fifth afterNew Westminster used the second and third overallchoices to take Delta’s Logan Schuss and Cornwall.

However, despite Burnaby’s weak left side and ahistory for going off the board, the Lakers snappedup Church with the fourth pick, to some chagrin.

“I didn’t think Burnaby was going to takeChurch,” said Delmonico. “We were trying to swinga deal with Burnaby, a trade where we would have

gotten their sixth overall pick and used it to getboth Church and Dinsdale, but it wasn’t to be.”

The first round concluded with New Westjuniors Tyler Digby and Brandon Goodwin going toBurnaby and Langley, respectively.

The Adanacs would go in a different directionwith their second pick, ninth choice overall, whenthey selected another jr. Adanac product — KevinNeufeld — to bolster an already strong defence.

His offensive stats — five goals over an 84-gamejunior career — weren’t why Neufeld went early inthe second round.

“He’s a stay-at-home defender. We’re pretty fullon the left side on both ends of the floor but wethought Neufeld was a good fit,” noted Delmonico.“He’s hard to get around.”

The team chose another solid backend player inCody Hawkins of Delta with its second choice inthe second round, and pulled Port Moody’s JimmyDelaney, via Okotoks, in the third round.

Delaney, who spent last year in Alberta, played

The Terry Fox Ravens stillhave first place in their cross-hairs.

However, that goal requiresthem to basically run the tableover the final regular seasongames.

The Ravens improved to 6-1on Monday by stopping theCentennial Centaurs 62-33. Apolished and balanced effortproved to be an early edge forFox, who took a good lead inthe first quarter and squashedthe Coquitlam school’s rallyattempts.

“It was an OK start, weexpect our guys to alwaysstart strong,” Ravens coachSteve Hanson said. “PlayingCentennial is always interest-ing. We’ve watched some videoand they like to pack the paintand force you into a perimetergame.

“We prefer to get the tempogoing, and we hit a handulf ofthrees in the first quarter toopen it up.”

Nic Hughes led Fox shooterswith 13 points, while TrevorCasey chipped in 12 and added17 rebounds.

For the Cents, Justin Burentallied 10 points.

For the Ravens, it was avital win as they continuetheir chase of undefeated PittMeadows for the league title.

Last week they upendedMaple Ridge 68-34 after com-ing off the Vancouver CollegeEmerald tournament with ahandsome 2-1 record.

They bested VancouverCollege 74-66 in the opener,and stayed close with WhiteRock Christian before falling70-64.

“That was a four-to-fivepoint game and we just hadone soft quarter. There weresome really good signs there,”

said Hanson.They closed it out by beating

Kelowna by seven points.Earning a spot on the first

all-star team was Casey, whileguard Jemari Reyes was namedto the second squad.

Hanson was pleased withthe continued play of hisbench, which provided somekey minutes in Maple Ridgewhere three starters landedthree fouls each in the openingquarter.

The 3-5 Centaurs, mean-while, were unable to convertthe momentum gained fromlast week’s thrilling 60-56 tri-umph over Heritage Woods.

In a game they never leduntil the final 90 seconds,

Centennial completed a heartycomeback on back-to-backtreys from Pritpal Gill andBuren.

“They just never quit,” notedCents coach Alan Kaselj. “Wewere just moving the ball real-ly well. We just kept battlingand battling and kept it closeenough for a couple of shots tomake the difference.”

It came on the heels of a56-44 win over Maple Ridge,where Buren netted 21 points.

In other senior boys action,Fraser Heights nudgedPinetree 65-57 and NorthSurrey edged Dr. Charles Best63-58. Pitt Meadows doubledPort Moody 84-42 and stoppedGleneagle 62-28.

“He has the potential tobe very, very good. We werethinking he could fly underthe radar,” added the GM.

Coquitlam would alsoselect PoCo’s Cody L’Arrivee,Coquitlam native Colton Dow(via Langley), netminderPatrick Bayliss, Port Moodyjunior B sniper Cam Paterson,PoCo’s Kris Liset, MichaelKennedy and Jake Baker.

Although touted as a draftdeep in snipers, the Adanacswere equally enthused by thedefenders available. By addingthe likes of Neufeld, Hawkinsand possibly L’Arrivee to abackline that includes captainBruce Murray, Jon Harnett,Travis Cornwall and Damon

Edwards, the club could havethe answer to the opposition’shigh-powered attacks.

“We thought we could be

more physical, and we want tobe a physically imposing teamto play. Even more than wewere last year.”

The Riverside Rapids are getting near wherethey should be — and just in time, too.

The senior girls basketball team has onlyhad a few weeks with a full roster but has lay-ered some clutch performances against somehighly rated opponents.

Their run over the past week included a 75-73 win over Maple Ridge, where Fiona Bealesnetted 26 points and Grade 8 guard ShaeSanchez contributed 15.

At the Piper Classic in North Vancouver, theRapids posted a 2-1 record, with their lone lossa 71-70 setback to Oak Bay.

“We were down by quite a bit to [Oak Bay]and one of their starters got hurt,” recalled

Riverside coach Paul Langford. “We came backfrom a fair bit down, but just kind of missed itby that much.”

Desha Puri enjoyed one of her better gamesof the season with 32 points, including sixtreys. Tenika Thue chipped in 11 points.

The wins were even more positive, as theRapids topped W.J. Mouat 76-53 behind 17-point games from Vanessa Gee and Sanchez,and a 68-50 triumph over Dover Bay. In thatgame, Sanchez set the tone on offence with 15points, while Beales contributed 12 points andseven steals.

When it comes to Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe, a big game on the court islike another day at the office.

Sparked by another huge effortfrom the Toronto native, the SimonFraser University women’s basketballteam beached the University of AlaskaFairbanks Nanooks 71-55 on Saturday.

Raincock-Ekunwe set the tone with26 points and 16 rebounds, as SFUoutscored the Nanooks 38-28 in thepaint.

“We wanted to work on improvingour offensive flow,” said Raincock-Ekunwe. “We had no offence going forus in our last game. We focused onsetting screens and moving the ballwell tonight.”

Port Coquitlam’s Kristina Collinsposted a game-high seven assists,while chipping in five points.

Another major difference was thecontributions from the bench — theClan got 19 points from its substitu-tions, while Alaska managed just two.

At the half, SFU held a nine-pointedge and fended off some strong push-back from the visiting Fairbanks crew.

However, the Clan extended its leadwith a dominating second half thatsaw them lead by as much as 20.

With the victory SFU improved to16-3 on the season and 9-2 in GreatNorthwest Athletic Conference play.

Their next test comes Saturday,7 p.m. at SFU’s West Gym, againstthe first-place Western WashingtonVikings.

In their previous meeting lastmonth, the Vikings held on to edgethe Clan by two points, a loss that willbe on their minds.

“We have to be consistent through-out the entire week and be ready forWestern Washington,” noted Collins.“We need to come with energy, wecan’t be slow at all. We’re going tocome out with fire and it’ll be anexciting game.”

Earlier in the week, the Clanhanded another northern rival a toughresult. Some key free throws late inthe game on Thursday helped liftSFU past Alaska Anchorage UniversitySeawolves 60-52.

Behind Erin Chambers’ 20-pointperformance, the Clan shook off atwo-point deficit in the second halfwith some resilient work in the finalfew minutes.

Raincock-Ekunwe led all playerswith 17 rebounds.

• A strong effort didn’t equal apolished finish as the Simon FraserUniversity men’s basketball team wasedged 73-69 by the Montana StateUniversity Billings Yellowjackets onSaturday.

Trailing by six at the half, the Clanclosed the gap on Elijah Matthews’layup that made it 37-33. That wouldbe as close as the Burnaby team got.

Taylor Dunn registered a team-high21 points, while Anto Olah tallied 15points and 10 boards. Ibrahim Appiahcontributed 11 points.

The loss drops the Clan’s record to6-13 overall and 1-10 in the GNAC.

• Dimitar Ivanov set the tonequickly for the Simon FraserUniversity men’s swimming team, andthe rest of his team followed.

The Coquitlam swimmer picked upSFU’s first individual win at the Div.1 Seattle Univerity dual meet, toppingthe 800-metre freestyle with a timeof 8:44.01. In quick fashion, he wasfollowed by Adam Kautz, in the 200mfree, and Julian Monks, with wins in200m individual medley and 100mbreaststroke.

The Clan out-pointed Seattle 114-88on the day.
