The numbers vary, but the effects are thesame.

Two months removed from the onset ofthe 12-per-cent harmonized sales tax (HST),a handful of Tri-Cities restaurant owners arenoticing a dip in business.

Hogan’s Restaurant and Lounge owner GaryHogan said Tuesday that his business has seena 25-per-cent drop since the tax came intoeffect July 1.

“It’s been tough. It’s been a very slow sum-mer, we’re not as busy as we need to be and

I hear nothing but bad stories from people Ispeak to business-wise,” said Hogan, who tookover the Port Moody-based business in March.“The tips are poor, and the attendance is poor.”

Aside from the financial realities of the tax,Hogan said that the trickle down effect of theHST has hit consumers on another level aswell.

“People are unhappy and concerned, defin-itely. Restaurants operate on a fairly slendermargin. The margins are slim and you haveto be on your game to stay in this business,”Hogan said. “It pisses [customers] off philo-sophically at the same time as pissing them off

B.C.’s film and TV industry is alreadybenefiting from the introduction of the HST,according to industry representatives.

While other businesses are seeing a drop insales since the harmonized sales tax was intro-duced on July 1, film and television studioshave noticed an increase in productions.

“Since the HST was introduced, the activityof inquiries and projects landing in B.C. hasincreased significantly,” Ron Hrynuik, generalmanager of Bridge Studios, wrote in an e-mail.

Because B.C. didn’t offer provincial sales tax

exemptions to studios like other provinces,productions had to pay PST on set supplies andproduction equipment before July.

“All of the PST that the productions used tohave to pay, from lumber on all the sets, equip-ment rentals, right to the phone and furniturerentals at our studio, is eliminated,” Hrynuiksaid. “They get the HST back, and that reallymakes a difference on productions.”

While it is not clear whether the tax shiftattracted new film and TV business right away,studios and equipment providers noticed achange in July.

“It places us at a more competitive

playing field with other NorthAmerican jurisdictions,” headded.

Peter Leitch, chair of theMotion Picture ProductionIndustry Association of B.C.and spokesperson for theindustry, could not be reachedfor comment as he was onvacation.

Leitch, who is the pres-ident of Mammoth Studiosin Burnaby and North ShoreStudios in North Vancouver,submitted a column about theHST to the Vancouver Sun on

Aug. 5.“The HST helps keep the

lights on and the camerasrolling at North Shore Studiosand Mammoth Studios andother locations across theprovince,” he wrote.

“Our industry succeedswhen we are in a competitiveplace to do business.”

Previously, Ontario gave taxcredits to the film industry forPST paid, he said, while B.C.did not.

“It’s the smart tax for B.C.because it removes the prov-incial sales tax businessesused to pay at every step of

the supply chain,” Leitchwrote.

“The paid PST was passedon to the consumer, embed-ded in the price of goods andservices.”

Now both provinces are onan even playing field to attractbusiness, he added.

B.C. is the third largestproduction centre in NorthAmerica, after Los Angelesand New York, according toLeitch.

“In 2009, there were morethan 239 projects shot in B.C.,generating more than $1.3billion in production spend-

ing,” Leitch wrote. “More than$1 billion of that was fromnon-Canadian productionsthat chose to shoot and investhere.”

The Lower Mainland is alsohome to the western divisionof a major film and televisionequipment supplier, WilliamF. White.

The company, based inToronto, is Canada’s largestprovider of film, TV and the-atre production equipment,renting lighting and gripequipment and crystal syncgenerators to productions.

The company also offers

specialty equipment such ascranes and camera cars.

Garin Josey, director ofmarketing and sales at theBurnaby branch, agreed withLeitch’s assessment of theHST.

“We had a number of seriesstart up after July 1,” he said.“Whether it was just a matterof timing, I’m not sure.”

The industry, which washit hard by the recession, hasresponded positively to thenew tax, Josey said.

“It makes us more competi-tive,” he said. “Things arepicking up.”

financially — it’s a pretty compellingduo.”

Cory Wright, president of theWright Hospitality Group, said histhree restaurants have seen about afive-per-cent decrease in sales sinceJuly 1, though he was hesitant toattribute that drop solely to the HST.

“We have seen a little bit of a pull-back because of it — whether it’s thebad economy or the HST, I think it’skind of early to say what’s going tohappen. But we definitely have seen abit of a pullback for sure,” said Wright,

whose company operates Dewy’s Puband Restaurant and the Treehouse Pubin Port Coquitlam.

“I think people are starting to feelthe pinch now that we’re six to eightweeks out. In the first month, it hada mental affect on people, but nowthey’re feeling the financial affect.”

Wright said he expects the realfinancial implications to settlein sometime in the fall or nearChristmas.

That said, in the few months sincethe harmonized tax has come intoeffect, Wright has not had to reducestaffing levels.

“Because we operate at three fairlybusy locations, it hasn’t affected ourstaffing levels yet. But come the fall,and maybe around Christmas, that’slikely when we’ll see the true results ofthis,” he said.

“We definitely hear the stories andthe complaints about the HST acrossthe board. We absorb some of that inour costs with having tax-in pricing,so our customers see that our priceshaven’t moved. It affects the companymore than it affects the customerright now. But in saying that, whena family goes to Subway for example,that family is paying 12 per cent on a

meal that they use to pay five per centon, so it’s across the board.”

Elias Boutros, owner of Coquitlam’sSkewers Mediterranean Grill, said he’sheard the occasional complaint aboutthe HST in recent months, and thatthe new tax often dissuades customersfrom ordering more than one item onhis menu.

“We do hear some complaints hereand there,” he said Tuesday. “Theylook at a $30 bill and they’ve got anextra $3.60 in tax on that bill. Andwhen they see that, then maybe theydon’t buy the drink that they wouldnormally get anymore.”

Replacement bridge forNoons Creek now underway

Noons Creek Bridge is getting an extrememakeover.

The City of Port Moody began removing theold Noons Creek Bridge, where it looked a bitmore like destruction than construction.

The bridge’s driving surface and supportingdeck structure were removed, as they wereconstructed partially of creosote soaked tim-bers. Pedestrians and motorists at the tempor-ary single-lane crossing were able to catch aglimpse of the bridge remnants, as deckingswere piled on both sides of Noons Creek.

City engineer Cory Day confirmed that thetimbers were showing obvious signs of aging.

“The city has definitely received every ounceof useful life from the old bridge. There’s noquestion that this project needed to happen,”Day said.

Construction of the new bridge comes withsome challenges for the estimated 10,000 driv-ers who commute over the crossing.

A temporary single-lane bridge was complet-ed last week, and all traffic is now being routed

over this bridge. Automatic traffic signals atthe end of the work zone help ensure safeaccess throughout the day.

While the delays will likely be minimalduring the day, they do tend to increase dur-ing peak traffic flows. The city’s contractor,Graham Infrastructure, will be implementingchanges to the timing of traffic signals to mini-mize any impact to motorists.

Jeff Moi, the city transportation engineer,says that the city anticipated the traffic delaysand planned for regular monitoring and adjust-ments required to address traffic needs.

“We also plan to make additional adjust-ments starting next week to deal with changesin traffic flow when school starts up,” he said.

Moi also warned that, “while the contractorcan make small improvements, traffic is stilllimited to a single-lane bridge and delays areinevitable.”

Next week, pile driving begins for the newsteel and concrete structure forming part ofthe new bridge.

Port Moody worker killed inconstruction crane accident

A 55-year-old Port Moody constructionworker died in a Friday afternoon crane acci-dent in North Burnaby.

The accident occurred around 4:15 p.m.at a construction site on Dunlop Avenue,near Charles Street, not far from AubreyElementary.

A crane operator was using a truck to deliverlumber, including a larger lumber beam, to thehouse under construction when the accidentoccurred. According to WorkSafe B.C. spokes-person Donna Freeman, as the beam was beingpositioned into or onto the house, the beamdropped.

The construction worker was found breath-ing but unresponsive near the end of the crane.The operator was also thrown to the ground.

The Port Moody man was taken toVancouver General Hospital, but he died later

Friday evening. The crane operator was shak-en, but sustained only minor injuries. Freemanadded that another worker was hurt and suf-fered non-life-threatening injuries.

WorkSafe B.C. will now investigate the causeof the accident. Freeman said the crane wasdismantled on Saturday and taken off-site tobe looked at by investigators. In addition, anindependent structural engineer was scheduledto be at the site Monday to assess the extent ofthe damage to the house.

“We can’t send our investigators into thebuilding until we can be assured that thebuilding is safe,” said Freeman.

She added that investigators will be talkingto workers and witnesses, as well as examiningthe equipment on the site, as they look intowhat caused the fatal accident. “This could takemonths or even years,” said Freeman.

The construction site will remain closeduntil WorkSafe B.C. deems it safe and investi-gators have collected all required evidence.

TOO MANY “TO-DOs?”


Attendance at a recent law and media workshoporganized by the Law Society of B.C. proved tobe an entertaining and eye-opening experience.

The five panelists included two media lawyers(David Sutherland and Dan Burnett), two journal-ists (veteran Global BC TV reporterJohn Daly and Victoria Times Colonistcourt reporter Louise Dickson) and theindefatigable Justice Geoffrey Gaul ofthe Supreme Court of B.C. Gaul was theunexpected target of frustrated journal-ists over the issue of publication bansand the judiciary’s lack of leadership inmaking the court system more accessible — as theprovincial government keeps promising — particu-larly at the court clerk’s level.

In the word of one Canadian Press reporter inattendance, it was something of a “pig pile” on Gaul,who weathered the storm gracefully. But even hedidn’t respond to the question as to why publicationbans exist when it involves the name of a dead teen,a fact I didn’t know. Unless the parents approve it,the name is not allowed to be reported. A frustratedDaly asked: “What difference is it going to make ifthe name is out there?”

I was long overdue for a refresher course on legalissues pertaining to the media, such as publicationbans, and hearing about legal hot spots for journal-ists. Even though reporters believe they’ve done duediligence in researching a story, it’s always unset-tling to receive — as I once did — a letter froma lawyer after a story has appeared in the paper.I dropped about five pounds in a week from thatexperience.

A twist to suing a media outlet is a recent case of

a doctor suing sources who appeared in a CBC TVreport, but not suing the CBC, presumably becauseit has money to mount a strong legal defence where-as the sources don’t. We were all advised to checkour home insurance policy. Apparently, “personal

injury” coverage also includes defama-tion suits; “bodily injury” policies donot.

Publication bans, including therecent decision by the Supreme Courtto uphold a decision to impose a blanketpublication ban on bail hearings, are anobvious sore spot for journalists.

It was inspiring to hear a Kamloops reporter notethat he has successfully argued 10 times out of 12 toget a judge to lift a publication ban on cases he wascovering. How did he do it? He researched preced-ents and brushed up on legal lingo — much to thechagrin of Sutherland, who joked that he was put-ting him out of business.

As much of a sore spot as publication bans are,what was shocking to hear were reporters’ frustra-tions with fees, court clerks and the uneven accessto public court records because a court clerk waspower tripping, didn’t know their job or followed aninstitutional attitude to blocking access to what ispublic information.

Say what?Here’s what Times Colonist reporter Dickson

recently experienced. At a first-degree murder trialof a young man charged with killing a UVic studentand shooting two others, Dickson and two otherreporters could not hear what the accused saidbefore the judge imposed his sentence. The youngman was in the prisoner’s box, but did not have a

microphone. After the sheriffs led the prisoner away,the reporters asked the court clerk to replay the 30-second tape.

The clerk refused, even though the Crown counselsaid it was OK.

“So here you have three reporters covering a jurytrial in B.C. Supreme Court and when the man con-victed of shooting three people finally stands up andspeaks, you don’t know what he said and court staffwon’t let you check the quote for accuracy,” Dicksonsaid at the workshop. “This is the disconnect. Howdoes that even make sense?”

I suggest reading Dickson and Times Colonistcolleagues Lindsay Kines and Rob Shaw’s Februaryfour-part investigation “Access Denied,” whichexposes how the principle of public access to courtscan be violated by the courts, their officials andstaff. After reading it, write to your MLA to insist thegovernment makes good on its promise to provideproper public access and implement a clear and con-sistent policy province-wide.

The public needs to have confidence in the courtsystem. Secrets don’t serve anyone.

Or as Daly said: “We’re in a low-grade democracy— and it’s up to citizens to change that.”

There is a small bit of good news. After intenseindustry lobbying, Attorney General Mike de Jongdid announce to scrap the online search fees forcriminal and traffic court records, which came intoeffective yesterday (Tuesday).

Law workshop indicts court system culture

An open letter to the City of Coquitlam:I have phoned numerous times and, since I have

not had a response, I decided to go one step furtherand write our local paper.

Going west on David Avenue there is acrosswalk on the left side of the road atPipeline where the cars coming have tonot only look for pedestrians, but yieldfor oncoming traffic.

The problem is many drivers are toobusy looking for the traffic and forgetabout the pedestrains. Not once, but twice I havenearly been hit there, and the second time I had myseven-month-old daughter with me — when a vanhad to slam on the breaks and ended up fishtailingwhile trying to avoid me.

Had an impact occurred, there is no doubt mydaughter and I would probably not have survived.

Now when I’m at that crosswalk I pull my strolleracross, because most of the time the carsdon’t notice me standing there.

I realize that it would be the driver'sfault, but the city should place acrosswalk warning sign or a light abovethere so that drivers are given a warningthat the crosswalk is approaching.

This would cost the city some money;however, a lawsuit would cost substantialy more ifsomeone gets hurt.

Safer roads are just around the corner.At least that’s the goal behind new drink-

ing-and-driving legislation that will come intoforce in less than a month.

As of Sept. 20, police in B.C. will be armedwith the toughest legal tools in Canada to getimpaired drivers off the roads, faster and forlonger periods of time.

According to Solicitor General Mike de Jong,impaired driving has been on the rise in B.C.Numbers of impaired driving charges rose 18per cent from 2008 to 2009.

This is an alarming revelation that spurredthe provincial government to make it easier toremove the perpetrators from their vehicles.

When the new law comes into effect,drinking drivers who fail the Criminal Codestandard breath test will be immediatelybanned from driving for 90 days, will havetheir vehicle impounded for 30 days and willbe fined $500 — aside from possible criminalcharges that carry additional fines and poten-tial jail terms.

The new provincial legislation adds a “warn-ing” range to the standard breathalyzer test.

A reading between 0.05 and the criminallyliable 0.08 will earn the errant driver a three-day driving ban and a $200 fine.

Getting caught at that level more than oncewithin five years ups the ante to a seven-dayban and $300 the second time, and a 30-dayban with a $400 fine for a third time.

Research has shown that, although belowthe Criminal Code’s radar, drivers with breathalcohol levels between 0.05 and 0.08 per centare seven times more likely to be involved in afatal crash than sober drivers are.

That is unacceptable.That is, in fact, fatally unacceptable.There will be no tears from us for anyone

who feels hard done by when they get nailedunder the new law.

My ViewFiona Hughes


Respectful dialogue canbreak down stereotypes

On Wednesday, July 21, with a flurry ofexcitement to catch up on the latest depart-ment store flyers, I ran to the front door toread the The NOW.

I stopped in my tracks, instantly taken abackby the image on thefront cover: In thebackground therewas what lookedlike a tank; in theforeground therewas what lookedlike a woman fromthe Muslim worldwearing a long blackgown and scarf, and setting the scene, whatlooked like screens reminding me of the kindof lattice work found in Muslim architecture.

My first thought: What is this? Where isit happening? And why is this picture in TheNOW? I felt my heart racing and my bloodflowing faster, afraid that yet again I was seeingan off-putting representation of Muslims andthe Muslim world.

To make sure my personal biases were notinforming my view, I showed the image to myparents and randomly to local shop keepersand people on the street. They too, initiallysuggested war and images of war, specificallyfrom Afghanistan, Palestine and India.

The caption revealed a scene from LeighSquare in Port Coquitlam marketing an instal-lation examining the growing movement andimpact of greening and sustainability in archi-tecture, design and community practices — anaverage day at a local square in our diverse Tri-Cities community. Go figure, eh? Even then, Iam concerned.

As I reflect, I ask myself why. Am I con-

cerned because I know what it feels like to bestared at walking down the street after Sept.11?

Am I concerned because I’m exhausted byseeing negative images on TV, magazine coversand print media without balanced depictions ofthe beautiful contributions of Muslim civiliza-tions to so many areas of knowledge includingscience, math and art? Or does it run deeper? Idon’t know.

What I do know is what I felt — that feelingdeep inside me to act — to act with others tobreak stereotypes and consciously learn aboutthe real soul of people, communities and cul-

tures, where in the world they may be from.In an evolving, dynamic community, the

media and education system can play animportant role too. Through communityconsultation, balancing cultural sensitivitieswith creative licence, and making consciouschoices towards healthy dialogue and balancedrepresentation, we can definitely effect positivechange.

What I realize is that it starts with ourselves,myself included. It starts with humble con-fidence in one’s own sense of self, skills andcontributions. It starts with learning to accept,encourage and work with the ideas of loved

ones in our homes and immediate circles ofinfluence. It starts with a genuine curiosityand care for the success and welfare of others.It starts with mediating expectations, ideas,and views enabling access to deeper and lovingplaces of mutual benefit, respect and peace.Definitely a tall order.

Yet, in my heart, I know that with just a bitmore personal and collective effort this visionis totally possible.

So, may these conversations inspire lovingand respectful communication. May these con-versations be filled with beauty, healing andharmony.

And, finally, may these conversations touchsuch an essential part of our being that weuncover deeper connections to the spirit, our-selves, fellow human beings and creation. Andso it is.

Students new to Canada invited to special orientation days

The countdown has begun.The first day of school is less than a week away.Many students are ready to reunite with old friends and slip

into familiar routines. Yet at the same time, many recent immi-grants are preparing to enter the Canadian school system forthe first time.

Settlement workers in School District 43 hope to smooththe transition for these newcomers. The school district is host-ing information sessions onThursday and Friday to wel-come new families to the Tri-Cities and to introduce themto the Canadian school system.

Participants will get toknow each other by sharingtheir experiences of comingto Canada. School principalsand counsellors will also speakabout English-as-a-second-lan-guage (ESL) programs, reportcards, school expectations andother important information.

Families will then learn howto prepare healthy lunches tobring to school, complete with demonstrations on how to makesandwiches and sushi.

Settlement worker Stella Chen said students will also have achance to practise using locks for their lockers.

“It’s pretty stressful on the first day of school when you don’tknow how to use them, so we want them to practise doing itbefore school starts,” Chen said.

Families will then tour the schools, led by student leaderswho immigrated to Canada within the past several years.

Chen said the eight settlement workers in District 43 helpnew immigrant families deal with a long list of challenges whenthey first arrive.

“The first challenge is understanding how the school systemworks here and also how to communicate with teachers and

counsellors. … We help them understand this,” she said. “Alsonew families don’t know about the resources in the commun-ities. We will provide them with this kind of information too.”

Between August 2009 and July 2010, the school district’ssettlement workers served 1,613 clients, made up of Tri-Cities students and their families. Most of these families camefrom Iran, South Korea, Afghanistan, China, Russia, Mexico,Hungary, Hong Kong and Iraq.

This year the settlement workers will also work with at least15 new Bhutanese students, since seven families arrived in theTri-Cities from refugee camps this summer.

Other students can help with the transition by learning aboutthe cultural background of their new classmates, Chen added.

“It would be very helpful if they can understand the culturewhere the new families come from,” she said. “Then they wouldknow when they’re behaving a certain way, it’s not that they’rerude. They just don’t understand how things work in Canada.”

Middle school newcomers and their families are invited toattend an information session on Thursday, Sept. 2 from 10a.m. to 2 p.m. at Banting Middle School, located at 820 BantingDr. in Coquitlam.

For secondary school newcomers, a similar event will be heldFriday, Sept. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Port Moody SecondarySchool, located at 300 Albert St.

Both sessions will include a free pizza lunch.“If you know anyone who’s new here, they’re welcome to

come and bring the whole family,” Chen said.Families seeking further details can obtain them in several

languages. For more information in Cantonese or Mandarin,contact Chen at 604-803-8128 or [email protected]. For detailsin Dari or Farsi, contact Soheila Soudy at 604-619-6273 [email protected].

Seven more train cars set forWest Coast Express service

The West Coast Express will soon be able tohandle an additional 2,000 riders daily.

Announced last Thursday, the commuterfleet will receive an additional seven cars, twoof which are expected to be in service by earlySeptember, according to TransLink spokes-person Ken Hardie.

The cost of the project is about $28 million,and those costs will be shared by TransLinkand the provincial and federal governments.

The expansion will allow for 2,000 moreriders per day and represents a 20-per-centboost in capacity. The new addition brings thetotal number of cars in the fleet to 44, up from37, and each car can accommodate 147 seatedpassengers with additional standing room.

“Together with the federal government andTransLink, we’re improving service on WestCoast Express by encouraging more people totake the train and leave their cars at home,”Transportation Minister Shirley Bond said in apress release.

“This represents a strong level of co-oper-ation between transit partners in BritishColumbia and it supports the provincial transitplan goals to double transit ridership and sig-

nificantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”Hardie said Tuesday that two of the seven

cars have already been delivered and are under-going testing. The five remaining cars will bebrought into service by the end of the year.

On top of the seven cars, the project alsoincludes yard upgrades at the Waterfront andMission stations to accommodate the new cars.Safety improvements will also be made, namelyin the form of better crossing guards at MapleMeadows Station.

“The Government of Canada is pleasedto expand commuter rail service for LowerMainland transit users by partnering with theProvince of British Columbia and TransLink,”said federal Transport Minister Chuck Strahl.“These improvements, part of Canada’s eco-nomic action plan, show our government’scommitment to safe, secure and efficient traveland to building the infrastructure Canadaneeds for a strong future.”

Established in 1995, West Coast Express hasserved more than 28 million riders. Daily rider-ship averages have doubled during that time,jumping from about 5,000 customers in 1995to a daily average of 10,500 today.

Those numbers translate into 4,300 fewercars on the road during weekday peak periods,reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 21,502tonnes.

Back to school tips to ensurestudents are healthy, active

Healthy habits are built by starting early.That’s why the Ministry of Educationrecommends parents take the following

steps to ensure children learn healthy routinesfor the rest of their lives:

• Insist that your children eat breakfastevery day, as it provides fuel for the brainto learn and helps them maintain a healthyweight.

• Keep nutritious foods, like cut-up vege-tables and fruit, cheese sticks, low-fat yogurtand butter-free popcorn on hand to makehealthy snacking easy.

• If your child has anaphylaxis, co-ordinatewith the school principal on an updated emer-gency plan that best meets your child’s needs.

• Schedule regular dental and any necessarymedical checkups.

• Encourage your children to choose milk orwater at meals instead of sugary drinks, energydrinks with excessive caffeine or pop.

• Get children active through sports or gofor nightly family walks or bike rides.

• Develop good hand-washing habits asfrequent hand-washing reduces the spread ofbacterial, cold and flu viruses.

For primary school students:• Include a variety of fruits and vegetables in

your children’s snacks and lunches every day.• Include your child when packing lunches

so they can learn to make healthy choices earlyon.

• Help your children learn about and under-

stand Canada’s Food Guide, which encouragesa diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

• Take family walks with your children and,if possible, walk them to school.

• Join or co-ordinate a walking school busor bicycle train to help your children get toschool safely with adult supervision.

• Set up a regular teeth-brushing routineand ensure your children are brushing andflossing correctly.

• Introduce your children to active gamesthey can play on their own, like hopscotchor jumping rope. When more children arearound, introduce tag, soccer or baseball.

For middle school students:• Whenever possible, encourage your chil-

dren to walk, ride, in-line skate or skateboardto school instead of driving them.

• Suggest that your children take the dogfor a walk before and after school.

• Limit your children’s screen time. Explainto your children that it’s important to sit lessand move more in order to stay at a healthyweight.

• Continue to encourage healthy eating hab-its. Use Canada’s Food Guide to plan healthymeals and snacks, as they have different nutri-tional needs from children and adults.

• Teach your children to avoid less-nutri-tious foods — foods high in sugar, fat andsodium, and help them learn to replace thesefoods with more nutritious snacks instead.

Did you add insurance to your back-to-school list?Laptop? Check. Cell

phone? Check. Xbox?Check. Insurance cover-

age?During the coming weeks,

thousands of B.C. studentswill be heading off to univer-sity and college, loaded downwith books, clothes and — inmany cases — a treasurechest of electronics.

BCAA Insurance remindsparents at this time of yearto review their home insur-ance policies to ensure theirchildren’s belongings areadequately covered for lossor damage while they’re awayfrom home.

A recent poll from theNational Retail Federationindicates that back-to-schoolpurchases — which includeclothing, furnishings, schoolsupplies and electronics —have increased 10.5 per centover the past year.

“Students have more to

insure than ever before,” saysBrooke Moss, BCAA homeinsurance product manager.

“They have a lot of expen-sive and port-able consumergoods that arevulnerable toloss, theft ordamage.”

The list ofpricey elec-tronic equip-ment includesdesktopcomputers,laptops, IPads,MP3 players,portable TVs,cellphones,smart phones, stereos, videogame equipment and digitalcameras.

Other items to considerare bicycles, boarding and skiequipment and jewelry.

The federation’s poll alsoreveals the number of stu-

dents choosing to leave thefamily home to live on cam-pus or somewhere nearby hasincreased compared to last

year.“Moving

away fromhome alsomeans stu-dents willneed theirown house-hold itemssuch as amicrowave,bedding andfurniture,which are alsovulnerable todamage,” adds

Moss. “Electronic or not, theloss of belongings could puta big dent in the finances of astudent with a limited budgetor of a parent paying for a

child’s tuition, books and liv-ing expenses.”

While most home insurancepolicies extend some coverageto students living away fromhome, Moss cautions parentsand students to be aware ofany limits on student propertyas well as limits on individualitems.

“Take stock of all yourchild’s items,” urges Moss.“Then talk to your insuranceadvisor to find out what’scovered — and what’s not— under your existing policy.If the value of the belongingsexceeds the limits, you shouldconsider buying additionalcoverage.”

BCAA also encourages stu-dents no longer dependant ontheir parents to consider pur-chasing their own insurancepolicy so they’re protected not

only against the loss of per-sonal effects, but also againstliability.

“Many parents and stu-dents are unaware that theycould be held legally liablefor accidents that happen in astudent’s rental apartment ordorm room,” Moss explains.“Landlords may not beresponsible for injury causeddue to unsafe conditions inthe student’s own living area.”

Teens needlots of restfor success

For secondaryschool students:

• Encourage your teenagersto get involved in intramuralor after-school sports.

• Suggest your teenagerstake a class at the local com-munity centre or encouragethem to participate in a walk-ing or hiking group.

• Place your older childrenin charge of some of thefamily’s meals and groceryshopping so they learn howto buy, prepare and enjoyhealthy meals using Canada’sFood Guide.

• Encourage your teens toget plenty of rest to ensurethey are alert and ready tolearn at school.

Setting budget key to prevent supplies from breaking bankIt’s that time again — as

September arrives, parentsand students await the

beginning of the school year,and all that it entails. Oneback-to-school activity thatfew can avoid is shopping.

Whether it’s in search ofschool uniforms, new shoes orbasic school supplies, almostevery family will hit the mallsto get ready.

“Every year I set a budgetfor back-to-school shopping,but it can be really tough tostick to,” says Jessica Gabriel,a mother of two school-agechildren.

Staying on budget is noteasy — but if you spend alittle time planning before you

head to the stores, you maysave yourself some money.Here are some tips for back-to-school budget bliss:

Set a limitStart by figuring out exactly

how much you can afford tospend. It’s important to knowwhat you’re working with— from there you will need tomake some decisions betweenneeds and wants.

Make a listWork out what your kids

will need for the school year(many schools provide a sup-plies list) and take an inven-tory of clothes and shoes to

see where the kids’ wardrobesstand.

PrioritizeAgain, there are needs and

there are wants. Studentscan’t go to school withoutsupplies, but perhaps you canbuy them supplies as neededthroughout the year as a wayto spread the cost out.

Scan for salesShop around for the best

back-to-school bargains.Watch the flyers to find outwhere the sales are, and don’tforget to check out deals atonline stores.

Get the kidsinvolved

If you have younger stu-dents at home, get theminvolved by asking them tolook through flyers for itemsthey need or want, compareprices, and clip out coupons.If you have older students athome, talk honestly about thebudget you’ve set for back-to-school.

Setting a budget and plan-ning ahead will give youample time to assess yourneeds, suss out sales and findthe best prices. And don’t for-get to keep a tally of what youspend — back-to-school timehappens every year, so track-ing your expenses can help

Return to class not just for young kidsBack-to-school season is drawing near,

and while the advertisements might focuson new clothes for kids and the latestand greatest in school supplies, the factis that many adults consider this time ofyear the time to make life changes andlearn new skills.

The aspiration to enrich one’s life isa part of a trend identified in a surveyconducted by American Express Canada.According to the survey, Canadians polledfound personal fulfillment through learn-ing new activities such as speaking a new

language (32 per cent), taking a cookingclass (22 per cent) or writing a book ornovel (29 per cent). These Canadians whoare committed to living life to its fullestare seen as “potentialists,” people whoseek new experiences in life that allowthem to fulfill personal goals and pas-sions.

“Studying a new language, embarkingon a new activity like rock climbing orlearning a new skill like photography,are some examples of the many ways thatCanadian potentialists are engaging in

enriching experiences and living life toits fullest,” said David Barnes, vice pres-ident of communications at AmericanExpress.

“Autumn is a great time of year toreignite a passion for learning, while pur-suing a personal goal outside of our dailywork and life obligations.”

Beyond taking classes, if you’re anexpert in a certain area, think about howyou can give back and learn from othersby teaching a class at a local communitycentre.

Eco-responsible laptops earn A+

With September upon us, finding thebest laptop for school is top of mindfor many students and parents.

Several laptop models are available at a widevariety of price points. Laptops with smallerscreens offer greater mobility while thoseequipped with powerful processors are greatfor running multiple applications. How do youchoose?

While elements such as design, featuresand price play a big role in the decision mak-ing process, the environmental impact of aproduct can also be a differentiating factor. Getschooled in purchasing an environmentallyconscious laptop. Toshiba of Canada’s environ-mental specialist Chantale Mantha offers a fewtips on what to look for and how to make yourlaptop more energy efficient:

• Look for the Energy Star symbol to iden-tify products that offer reduced greenhouse gasemissions, pollutants and energy consumption.

• Check if the manufacturer is a registeredmanufacturer with the Electronic ProductEnvironmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) toensure your laptop is energy efficient, made ofenvironmentally safe materials and easier to

upgrade and recycle.• Consider a laptop with an LED backlit dis-

play screen. They consume less energy.• Consider a Toshiba laptop that offers an

eco-button and the eco-utility function. Theformer allows you reduce power consumptionwith a push of a single button and the latterallows you to monitor power savings in detail.

• Adjust the operating system settings todim the display screen to reduce power con-sumption and extend battery life.

• Unplug the power cord from the laptopwhen not using it. Standby power or vampirepower draws electricity from the outlet evenwhen the laptop is not in use.

Out with the old and in with the new. Forstudents upgrading technology, don’t forgetthat there are greener ways to dispose of yourold gear. Mantha also recommends checkingout Toshiba’s environmental recovery andrecycling effort (TERRE), a free program thatensures that end-of-life computers are disposedof in an environmentally respectful manner.You can go online to find out how to book apickup at www.toshiba.ca/terre.

for. The 15-year-old Coquitlam residentand Terry Fox Secondary student is quick-

ly climbing her way to stardom, having landedthe role of lead female heart throb in FaberDrive’s newest video release “You and I Tonight.”

‘’One of my agents submitted my picture.”said Nicole.

“It actually went through a group of peoplefirst and they chose their top picks, then it wentto the band for the final decision.

“Faber told me when he saw my picture heknew that I was the girl. It was, and is, such ablessing.’’

She signed with an agent last year, and hassince been spreading her wings in acting and

modelling.She has since been walking the runways

at events such as the Canadian CountryMusic Awards gala, Vancouver Fashion Week,Vancouver Music and Fashion Festival as wellas for various fashion designers like JacquelineConoir.

Her experience at such a young age has cap-tured the attention of international modellingagencies in Toronto, Seattle and New York.

“Keeping a positive attitude about things notonly helps yourself enjoy the time you spend inthe industry but also those around you. You maywork in unfavourable environments, but a posi-tive attitude makes it more bearable for every-one,” she said.

In slow lane of Oregon coast

Whale watching, jet boating, sand dune scal-ing, beach browsing and guzzling razors: Wenever tire of Oregon’s 575-kilometre coast.

It all begins over the Columbia River, cross-ing the 6.4-kilometre Astoria-Megler Bridge.The world’s longest continuous truss bridge,it’s a fittingly dramatic entrance to a histrioniccoast.

We skirt around Astoria, preparing to meet“Terrible Tilly.” Tillamook Head wrecked 2,000ships until the lighthouse was built in 1881.

Now she threatens to wreck as many cars, asstunned motorists experience her stark beautyfull in the face. This coastline is first and fore-most about gawking, and Ecola State Park, justnorth of Cannon Beach, is the perfect placeto pull over and practise. Mists twist up fromPacific wave crests, which in turn shatter ona silky expanse of beach and pinnacles likeCannon Beach’s super star, Haystack Rock, a72-metre monolith. We’ve only gone 48 kilo-metres.

Eventually, we wend inland to Tillamook— and dessert. Tillamook Cheese sets the gold

As fate would have it, Ken Wood’scelebration of the Minto Cup champi-onship will extend to Disneyland.

The Coquitlam junior Adanacs gen-eral manager had scheduled a vacationwith his wife long before the outcomeof a long and sometimes arduous sea-son came to a close.

While Wood had complete confi-dence in his players and coach CurtMalawsky, at no time would the self-described worrier have predicted that aMinto Cup was a lock.

Following Saturday’s clinching vic-tory, an 8-4 win over the OrangevilleNorthmen at the Poirier Sports Centre,Wood talked about the year-long jour-ney to a championship while en routeto Walt Disney’s amusement park.

“I’m still flying on the moon, it’salmost surreal because you go fromtalking about putting a team togetherto challenge and win a Minto Cup, andthen it happens,” Wood said. “I’m stillwaiting for someone to pinch me.”

The fedora-wearing Wood, who has

been general manager of the lacrosseclub for the past six years, took themain step to a championship followingthe Adanacs early elimination fromthe 2009 Minto Cup. What he did thenraised a lot of eyebrows, and Woodexpected to face some questions.

He didn’t know that the questionsand criticism would cut so deep.

“It was the biggest, boldest movethat had to be done, but it was also thetoughest,” Wood said of firing headcoach Dan Perreault and his staff lastOctober, and replacing them with CurtMalawsky. “As far as I’m concerned,that was the start of this, we hadgone as far as we could and needed achange… It needed to be done.”

Perreault had spearheaded a majorresurgence in Adanac fortunes overthree seasons to where they were thetwo-time regular season champions.

The Coquitlam resident had alsocoached many of the current juniorAdanacs through minor lacrosse, craft-ing many of the conditions that led toSaturday’s historic win.

But it was evident to Wood that afterlast year’s one-sided 16-8 loss to theNorthmen, a different approach was

needed. Guaranteed a berth into thenational tournament as the host team,Wood wanted someone with champion-ship knowledge and experience whocould bring it all home.

Enter Malawsky.The longtime lacrosse all star

had co-coached the last B.C. team— Burnaby — to back-to-back Mintotitles in 2004-05. As a player, Malawskyhas won both Mann and NationalLacrosse League crowns. Equally asimportant, the Coquitlam minor prod-uct was available and interested.

The 40-year-old had a fire for win-ning that few could equal. Malawskycommanded a great deal of respect andadmiration, for whom players wouldmove across the country to play for.

It resulted in acquiring 20-year-oldOntario all-star Mark Matthews, whowent on to post 100 points over 17regular and league playoff games, andfinished with a tourney-high 27 pointsin five games. Wood also locked up keysupport players Simon Giourmetakisof Alberta and Burnaby’s Nic Bilic andRiley Loewen.

Wood admits that he paid a price forreplacing Perreault — his reputation

took a hit and a couple of firm friend-ships were shattered. Saturday’s wincould only repair one.

The validation of a victory doesn’tpaper over the cost, he admits.

“That’s a part that people don’tunderstand, that the comments to meand of me, that I was cold and calculat-ing, did (hurt),” he said. “I liked thoseguys very much, we were a team forthree years, but I just knew that toget to the next level we had to go inanother direction.

“Curt proved it again. He’s the guywho is most focused, most dedicatedto winning and who would prepare theguys for the long battles ahead.”

While he can now look back overthose difficult times as a test of fire, theAdanac GM said a Minto Cup is just thefirst step. Winning one breeds hungerfor another.

“Right now we’ll take some time tosettle down, enjoy this for a bit. Whatwe just did was something historic forthe city of Coquitlam, and lacrosse inCoquitlam.

“There are no changes planned inour goals — we want to win another(Minto).”

“Curt (Malawsky) had us work-ing like a machine,” Nic Bilic said.“Every game in the tournament wasan investment — every game, everyshift, every slash. We just gave 100per cent every shift and it paid offfor us.”

The two teams began Saturdaycautiously, with the Adanacs edg-ing ahead 2-1 on Ben McIntosh’sin-tight shot with two seconds leftin the first period. Mark Matthewsupped Coquitlam’s lead early in thesecond, but Orangeville cashed ina pair of special teams tallies — apowerplay goal by Rob Hellyer anda shorthanded effort from JeremyNoble — to draw even with fiveminutes to play in the middlestanza.

But with less than two minutesleft in the frame, McIntosh con-verted a centering pass from SimonGiourmetakis to retake the lead.McIntosh would then kick off thethird period by cashing in anothernice setup, this time from WesleyBerg, for a 5-3 advantage.

Calling on their multiple MintoCup experience, the Northmenmanaged to pull within one whenNoble notched his seventh of thetournament

Behind a superlative performanceby netminder Dan Lewis, Coquitlamclung to a one-goal lead until adramatic momentum-changingmarker by Garrett McIntosh deflatedOntario’s attack. Riley Loewen, BenMcIntosh and Matthews silenced theNorthmen’s comeback hopes.

The crew of 26 players floodedthe Poirier Sports Centre’s mainrink following the final whistle thatclinched a 2-0 sweep, exchangingbroad smiles, loud cheers and sometears.

“You don’t understand what thismeans,” said a hoarse Malawskyafter the final victory. “Coquitlam’sin my blood, I won a couple cups inBurnaby and they felt good but thisis special. This is for the commu-nity. This is for every single juniorAdanac who ever played, myselfincluded.”

Matthews, who finished witha tourney-high 27 points in fivegames, said the defence and Lewisrose to the occasion.

Decisions, decisions, deci-sions.

The players have tried tomake first-year head coach JonCalvano’s decisions difficultthrough the first week of train-ing camp for the CoquitlamExpress.

The junior A hockey clubhas whittled down the numbersfrom 60 eager players to 29skaters and five goalies headinginto last night’s exhibition testagainst the Langley Chiefs (pastNOW deadline).

That number will be reducedsome more following threeother games over the nextthree days — tonight, 7 p.m. inSouth Surrey, tomorrow, 7 p.m.against Langley at the BurnabyWinter Club, and 7 p.m. Fridayat the Poirier Sports Centre’srec rink against Simon FraserUniversity.

“We have some talented for-wards and saw some nice goalsscored, and the goalies we haveare pushing hard. We’re pleasedwith the level of talent we’reseeing,” Calvano said Tuesday.

The club kicked off the exhib-ition season on Saturday witha 4-3 victory over Powell River,where the line of Alex Petan, PaulDeJersey and Malcolm McKinneyprovided some offensive punch.

Petan and McKinney tallied inthe first period, as did Ontarioimport Massimo Lamacchia.

The game-winning goal cameoff the stick of rookie blueliner

Mark Begert. Turning in solidwork between the pipes were TylerLast and Ben Kantor.

A day later in Coquitlam, veter-ans Garrick Perry and Brad Reidwere prominent in a 4-2 doublingof Surrey.

The linemates both scored onceand set up another and workedwell with winger Jason Grecica.

Other goals were provided byDestry Straight and defenceman

Djordie Leposavic.Sunday was also the first oppor-

tunity for Western Hockey Leagueveteran and Coquitlam bluelinerRiley McIntosh to size up the jun-ior A competition.

“The hockey’s a little different,the guys are a lot smaller,” the6’5, 205-pound McIntosh said.“I’m use to checking a lot big-ger guys but these guys are a lotquicker and seem to be a little

slippery in the corners. I have tocontain the smaller guys.”

Returning netminder RobinBillingham split duties with LukeHernandez, with the latter keep-ing the Eagles off the score sheetover his 30 minutes.

“Goaltending is a big piece tothe team, it’s always the tough-est position to fill,” Calvano said.“The five (remaining) are makinga good case.”

Exhibition wins provide early hope for ExpressSports

Kevin Hill/NOW

IN ALONE: The Coquitlam Express training camp continues this week, where players continue tobattle for ice time and a roster spot. The team won a pair of exhibition tests on the weekend.

The LPGA Tour is coming to Coquitlam.The Vancouver Golf Club was awarded the CN

Canadian Women’s Open for 2012.The Austin Avenue private club, which celebrat-

ed its 100th anniversary this summer, has been thesite of two previous LPGA Tour events. Sally Littlecaptured the du Maurier Classic in 1988, whileNancy Scranton won the same event in 1991.

“Vancouver is a world class city with passionateand knowledgeable golf fans as well as a tremen-dous track record of hosting major events,” saidScott Simmons, executive director and CEO of GolfCanada, in a press release.

The only Canadian stop on the LPGA Tour, theCN Canadian Women’s Open has grown to be oneof the premiere competitions on the circuit. OnSunday, Michelle Wie won the 2010 CN CanadianWomen’s Open in Winnipeg with a wire-to-wireperformance, pocketing US$337,500.

The Hawaiian finished with a 2-under-par 70 topost a three-stroke victory, in a tournament swingthat attracted an estimated 65,000 golf fans.

The Vancouver Golf Club has hosted numerousprovincial and national championships and is eagerto be the site of the 2012 LPGA’s lone Canadiantour stop.

“Our membership is extremely excited andhonoured to once again host this prestigious andstoried championship,” Randy Smith, VGC’s headprofessional, said in a press release. “Our clubhas nothing but fond memories of our experiencewhen we hosted the du Maurier Classic in 1988and 1991.

“It will be wonderful for us to showcase our cluband our classic golf course to a new generation ofLPGA players, Canadian golf fans, and club mem-bers.”

As part of the CN tournament, the CN MiracleMatch program will raise funds for a local com-munity charity.

Minto Cup 2010 Champions

Photos by Kevin HillPURPLE REIGN: TheCoquitlam junior Adanacsproved unstoppable intheir pursuit of a MintoCup title. At top left, theA’s Robert Church, tour-ney MVP, stays wide ofOrangeville’s Brad Gillies;top right, the team cele-brates a goal in Game Two;above right, the A’s NicBilic and Travis Cornwall surround Orangeville’sBrandon Ivey; bottom right, Wes Berg battlesthe Northmen’s Glen Bryan; and below, captainMatt Beers kisses the 109-year-old cup.

defence played unbelievable, (and)I owe this entire Minto Cup to DanLewis,” Matthews said. “He playedthe tournament of his life, thegame of his life. All I can say is DanLewis.”

In Game 1, the 21-year-old back-stop blocked 31 shots and helpedthe Adanacs erase a 5-4 deficit, asCoquitlam scored the game’s finalfive goals over 40 minutes.

“My defence really did a greatjob,” Lewis said. “Those 44 shots(Saturday), there were some goodchances but from the outside I hada long time to see them.”

Ben McIntosh led all scorers with12 goals over five games, finishingwith 23 points. Robert Church,voted the Most Valuable Player bya committee of lacrosse executives,chipped in six goals and 17 assists.

Noting his squad’s inability toput up a lot of points against the

Adanacs, Orangeville coach MattSawyer said it wasn’t through a lackof trying.

“We were in a do-or-die situa-tion,” Sawyer said. “Our effort wascertainly there but we were playinga heckuva team. Coquitlam built areally good team this year and we’resorry we couldn’t have given them abit better of a run.”

The Adanacs organization, whichhad competed in five previous MintoCup championships over a span of33 years, will now focus on defend-ing that crown next year in Okotoks.If anything, the club will come tothe floor with the confidence of achampion and the momentum thatcomes with it.

“We knew we can take momen-tum and grab it, I thought we hadthe momentum all year long,” saidMalawsky.

REVIEW

Welcome to the Visitor Information CentreLocated in the Chamber office, the year has been an exceptionally busy one for all. In addition to offering a variety of information aboutthe Tri-Cities and beyond, we were pleased to welcome increased numbers of tourists who came to enjoy and be part of the 2010 WinterOlympics. Shown above are a group of newcomers to Canada who are participants of the ELSA program at S.U.C.C.E.S.S.

September Anniversaries

So the EvergreenLine is coming,mark my words.The Tri-Cit-

ies Chamber ofCommerce haslobbied long andhard to make this

transportation initiative a reality.While the Evergreen Line is coming,it is not without challenges especiallyfor the three cities we serve. PortMoody was anticipating aWesternstation, Coquitlam prefers an ad-ditional station at Lincoln Ave. andPort Coquitlam is without a stationentirely. It’s beyond the scope of theChamber to address the individualissues that each city faces; however,

we can provide education withrespect to the project. For example,ever wonder why the expansion ofrapid transit to the North East Sectoris called “Evergreen”? The terminusstation for the expansion will beat the Evergreen Cultural Centre– hence the name, and will serviceapproximately 15,000 existingCoquitlam residents. It is anticipatedthat most of Port Coquitlam’s transitusers will board via the new busroutes at the Coquitlam Centre sta-tion. If you’d like to learn more aboutthe coming Evergreen or have somequestions that you’d like to ask either,Ian Jarvis, CEO of TransLink or MayorFassbender, Chair of the Mayor’sCouncil, please join the Chamber forwhat promises to be an interestinglunch on September 23, 2010 at theVancouver Golf Club.
