the tri-cities now november 20 2013

Jeremy [email protected]

As Carmelle Peart made her wayalong the sidewalk on Austin Avenuenear Safeway during the grey after-noon of Feb. 2, she had no clue her lifewas about to end in tragedy.

The 82-year-old grandmother, oneday shy of her 83rd birthday, had justfinished doing some banking in thearea and was walking along the street,when at the same time a driver in theparking lot of the grocery store startedhis vehicle.

But according to excerpts from areport to Crown counsel obtained bythe Tri-Cities NOW, the elderly driverimmediately lost control of the Toyotain the parking lot.

Witnesses said the vehicle acceler-ated into a parked car, then the driverover corrected his steering, collidingwith another vehicle.

The Toyota turned back southboundwhere the driver continued out of con-trol, launching the vehicle over a raisedflower bed that separated the parkinglot from the sidewalk,hitting Peart and killingher instantly.

The car continuedsouthbound acrossAustin before comingto a stop after crashingthrough a fence in thecentre median.

The excerpts are froma charge assessmentdecision by DeputyRegional Crown CounselMaurizio Dattilo sent toPeart’s family earlier thismonth.

While police recommended a chargeof careless driving, Crown has decided

not to seek charges.Since no charges were approved,

Crown does not havethe power to suspendthe driver’s licence.

The decision is adisappointment forPeart’s daughter AnneSaunders, who washoping the driver wouldat least have his licencetaken away.

“Justice should havebeen done somehow,even just suspendinghis licence,” she told theTri-Cities NOW.

“It’s not fair.”According to the report, the driver,

whom the Tri-Cities NOW has chosen

not to identify since he was not chargedwith any crime, told police at the scene“for some reason … my foot got stuckor the shoe got stuck on the acceleratoror something and just completely lostcontrol. And … went rather quickly. Iknow I hit two cars and I hadn’t real-ized I hit a woman.”

The driver also told police he reversedto pull out of the stall, then placed thegear into drive and his foot got stuck.

“I just couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t… the car kept going faster and faster… as if I was standing on the acceler-ator,” the report stated.

It was also noted witnesses describedthe driver as looking “shocked” and“frightened.”

NEWSNOWJohn [email protected]

Coquitlam council is call-ing on the federal govern-ment to institute changes tothe Criminal Code that werefirst proposed by Canadianpolice chiefs five years ago.

Introduced by Coun. TerryO’Neill, the notice of motionfocuses on prolific offendersand calls for longer senten-ces, tighter restrictions onbail rulings and a clearer def-inition of the term “chronicoffender.”

“This is to give the pros-ecutors, the Crown attor-neys, more tools to handleprolific offenders,” O’Neill

said Monday. “We hear aboutrevolving door justice toooften.”

Monday’s motion wasintroduced five years after

the Canadian Association ofChiefs of Police passed theinitial resolution, one that wasendorsed by the Federationof Canadian Municipalities in2009.

O’Neill’s motion was tiedpartly to recent findings inthe city’s Ipsos Reid CitizenSatisfaction Survey. Thatdocument suggested crimewas the third-highest issueof concern for local residents,and that property crime— robbery and theft — wasthe leading personal safetyissue facing the city in thatcategory.

Coquitlam RCMP’s pro-lific target team (PTT) hasbeen operating for about five years, with a team of rough-

ly a dozen officers assignedto either prolific or priorityoffenders.

Earlier this year, aCoquitlam RCMP officer toldthe Tri-Cities NOW he couldn’toffer an exact number on the

amount of prolific offendersin the Tri-Cities at any giventime, though he suggestedabout 25 people are commit-ting most of the crime.

O’Neill echoed that pointMonday, suggesting 80 percent of crime is committedby 20 per cent of the popula-tion.

“We focus a lot of attentionas a community, our forcedoes, on that small percent-age of criminals who causealmost all of the crime, almostall of the thefts, almost all ofthe robberies,” Mayor RichardStewart added.

“It must be incredibly dis-heartening for members ofour police force to spendmore time on the paperworkthan the criminal spends injail.”

not to identify since he was not charged withany crime, told police at the scene “for somereason … my foot got stuck or the shoe gotstuck on the accelerator or something and justcompletely lost control. And … went ratherquickly. I know I hit two cars and I hadn’t real-ized I hit a woman.”

The driver also told police he reversed topull out of the stall, then placed the gear intodrive and his foot got stuck.

“I just couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t …the car kept going faster and faster … as if Iwas standing on the accelerator,” the reportstated.

It was also noted witnesses described thedriver as looking “shocked” and “frightened.”

In the letter to Peart’s family, Dattiloexplained that before Crown can approve acharge, it must meet two criteria: whetherthere is a substantial likelihood that Crowncan prove the offence beyond a reasonabledoubt and whether the prosecution is requiredin the public interest.

Dattilo wrote that because the evidence isnot sufficiently strong, there is no substantiallikelihood a judge would find the driver guilty.Specifically on the recommended charge,Dattilo wrote that without any evidence abouthow the driver’s foot became lodged or anyevidence to say the risk of that occurringwas foreseeable, the evidence is more in thenature of momentary happenstance.

“The Supreme Court of Canada has alsocautioned that the courts should not leapto conclusions about the manner of drivingbased solely on the consequences,” he wrote.

“As a result, I am of the view that there is nosubstantial likelihood of conviction and there-fore am unable to approve the drive withoutdue care and attention charge.”

The letter also noted the case has beenbrought to the attention of the Superintendentof Motor Vehicles, who can suspend a driver’slicence.

With no charges for the driver in Peart’scase, the Tri-Cities NOW has learned no char-ges or fines are being considered in two otherpedestrian fatalities that occurred in thatsame time period.

On Oct. 17, 2012, Andrew Kamara, 58, wasstruck and killed while he was out for a jogalong East Road in Anmore.

The father and Sierra Leone native wasengaged to be married at the time of hisdeath.

According to police accounts at the time,Kamara was jogging southbound along EastRoad when a car heading northbound sud-denly swerved across the road and hit him.

The wayward car then ended up back onthe road for a few metres before smashinginto bushes on the other side of the street.

The male driver and female passengerstayed at the scene and at the time were saidto be co-operating with police.

On Jan. 17, Roland Webb was killed afterbeing hit by a dump truck as he crossed EastRoad near Hummingbird Drive in Anmore.

The 37-year-old father of two was a super-visor at BC Ambulance and a member ofCoquitlam Search and Rescue.

Initial police reports stated he was hit bythe truck heading southbound on East Roadas he walked his dog across a crosswalk atHummingbird Drive.

In that case, the driver of the truck alsoremained on scene and was considered to beco-operative with police.

Coquitlam Mounties have confirmed theinvestigations into the two crashes have con-cluded with no charges or fines.

“All three of these cases are tragic,” saidRCMP Const. Michelle Luca, also referring tothe Peart case.

“That being said, a tragedy doesn’t neces-sarily mean a criminal offense.”

Speaking in general terms, she noted inves-tigators spend a lot of time looking at eachcase to determine what happened and dotheir due diligence to ensure the outcome isappropriate.

Luca said investigators consider several fac-tors in forwarding a charge, including theevidence, the likelihood of conviction and thepublic interest.

“A person being struck by a vehicle doesn’talways mean charges,” she said.

“It’s a hard thing to stomach that a tragedycan mean no criminal charges.”

Saunders said she wouldn’t want to see thedriver in her mom’s case, who is reportedly inhis late ’70s, to go jail.

But the incident does make her questionwhether elderly drivers should have their driv-ing skills tested more often and at a youngerage, like 65.

Nearly 10 months after her mom’s death,Saunders said she is doing better, but stillfeels her mother’s absence on special occa-sions.

“I was very, very close to my mother,” shesaid, adding that her mother is missed bymany people in the community.

“I lost a really good friend, too.”While her mom would have forgiven the

driver, Saunders said she would have likedan apology.

“I think if you lost your mother that wayyou would at least want to an apology,” shesaid. “I don’t think that’s a lot to ask.”

After more than three months on the lam,the notorious fake dentist who set up shop inthe Tri-Cities is in custody.

Tung Sheng (David) Wu turned himself intoToronto police Sunday, bringing to an end thesearch for the rogue dentist.

On Monday, lawyers for the College ofDental Surgeons of B.C. got an order to haveWu brought back to the province to face ajudge here. The college said it anticipatedsheriffs would soon be headed to Ontario toget Wu and bring him back.

In October, a Supreme Court judge inVancouver sentenced the fake dentist to threemonths in jail for civil contempt of court.

The judge also ordered Wu to pay the dentalcollege for costs related to the investigation.

The dentist’s saga began in August afterhealth officials sent out a warning to anyonewho received treatment from Wu that theymay have been exposed to serious viruses.

Fraser Health issued the alert after Wu,who they say had performed illegal dent-istry in Burnaby, Port Moody and Coquitlam,appeared to be setting up shop again despitea court order against him.

The revelations surfaced after an investiga-tion by the dental college last spring. Wu hadbeen on the lam after a warrant was issued forhis arrest when he failed to show up to courtin August. The dental college was offering a$2,000 reward for information that helpedlocated Wu.

“We want people to enjoythemselves responsibly, wewant people to have fun inour community,” said Coun.Craig Hodge. “But at thesame time we want to protectthe peace and quiet of ourneighbourhoods and respectthe rights of residents. It’salways a balancing act or acompromise.”

Patio hours were also dis-cussed: a 9 p.m. closing timefor restaurants and bars isset for weekdays, though thattime changes to 11 p.m. onFriday and Saturday.

Also included in Monday’sdiscussion was a move to

have licensing applicationfees set at $1,100, on top ofany associated public mail-out costs.

Council does have theauthority to modify thoseclosing times on a case-by-case basis, although theprovince’s Liquor Control andLicensing Branch ultimatelyhas the final say.

Monday’s discussionfocused large-ly on balan-cing concernsaround noiseand safety,while givingoptions todine or drinkinto the night.

“I’m reallyc o n c e r n e dabout the pat-ios, and howmany of thesee s t a b l i s h -ments we’re

going to allow in any givenarea,” said Coun. Mae Reid.

In drafting the policy, thecity reached out to a numberof stakeholders; the RCMPdid not flag any concerns,while the Tri-Cities Chamberof Commerce did not offer aposition. No correspondencewas received from residents.

Each of the 137 licensedestablishments in the city —24 bars and 113 restaurants— were also contacted andthe reaction was mixed: somesuggested specific zonesfor bars only, while othersargued for earlier closingtimes for restaurants so theydon’t compete with bars.

“I want us to have lots of

vibrant business, particularlyin our downtown core,” said

Mayor Richard Stewart. “ButI also want the residents who

live here to be respected intheir neighbourhood. This

is their neighbourhood, firstand foremost.”

The passing last week of a for-mer B.C. labour leader was areminder of how much boththe labour movement andthe so-called “political left”

have changed in this province.Jack Munro was a colourful and

powerful leader of the most powerfulunion in this province. He led the IWA(the primary forestry workers union) fordecades and was one of the most influ-ential labour or political figures in theentire province.

Governments of all stripes (NDPand Social Credit) were wary of takinghim on. A prolonged strike in the forestindustry could cripple the provincialeconomy, and Munro was mindful of thepower he wielded.

His influence was wide within theB.C. Federation of Labour, and hewas often seen as the face of union-ized labour, competing over time withother notables such as Len Guy, ArtGruntman, Jim Kinnaird, Art Kube andKen Georgetti, to name just a few.

In those days (the 1970s to the mid-1990s) organized labour wielded amajor sword. At first, that sword washeld by private sector unions but overtime public sector unions wrenched itaway to become the main power bloc inthe labour movement.

That is one of the crucial differ-ences that have evolved in the House ofLabour. The days of private sector uniondomination are over, and therefore soare the days of a private sector unionleader like Munro having huge influ-ence, either on labour or government.

For years, private sector strikes,some of them quite lengthy, were regu-lar events in all kinds of industries. Now,public sector strikes (or the threat ofthem) are the main characteristic of anylabour strife in this province.

Another change from Munro’s hey

day is the collapse of the forest industry.The IWA is gone, and so are many millsthat provided many communities withthriving local economies. The forestindustry, and its unionized workforce,no longer has the political clout it hadwhen Munro was one of industry’s mainplayers.

And then there is the political leftin B.C. For years, during Munro’s time,the left was dominated by private sectorunion leaders but gradually, over time,their influence was matched and thenexceeded by social activists, environ-mental activists, and public sector unionleaders.

Several key episodes in the last 20years or so show this shift.

During the 1983 Solidarity crisis(brought on by the Social Credit gov-ernment’s punishing restraint budgetof that year) it was Munro who essen-tially ended an escalating protest thatwas headed to a province wide generalstrike.

Munro had no interest in takingprivate sector union workers off theirjobs to appease social activists itching totopple an elected government, and hemade that very clear. As a result, he wasvilified by many of those activists, whoviewed his actions as a form of betrayal.

A decade or so later, a left-winggovernment was in power but theenvironmental movement caused theNDP administration to back down on its

forest policies, constituting a landmarkwin for the greens in the party.

During Gordon Campbell’s term inpower, most of his opposition camefrom public sector unions, many ofwhose contracts he was trying to tear upor change. The private sector remainedrelatively quiet, and the environmentalmovement seemed to be biding its time.

And, of course, there was the NDP’ssudden reversal on the Kinder Morganpipeline project in the last electioncampaign. It was done to appease theenvironmental movement, but the movehas revealed a breach in the party’s rela-tionship with so-called blue collar work-ers (the ones championed for so long bythe likes of Munro).

The NDP, the party of the left, is nowalmost shut out of the IWA’s old turf,as mills have closed and workers havedisappeared. Its support is more concen-trated in urban centres, and away frommany of those blue-collar workers inresource industries.

One has to wonder what Jack Munrowould make of this ongoing shift in theparty and movement he was once soactive in. I can’t see him liking wherethings seem to be headed.

Keith Baldrey is chief politicalreporter for Global BC.

There likely isn’t anyone who hasn’t been momen-tarily mesmerized by the shocking and ongoingrevelations about and from Toronto mayor RobFord.

From news headlines, Twitter feeds, TV talkshows and comedy monologues, the self-confessed crack-smoking, drunk-driving and foul language-wielding Ontariocity leader has put both his city and the nation on the map— unfortunately, a map of ridicule and disgrace.

The story of a mysterious video, only seen by one journal-ist and a blogger, was first mocked by Ford, and then quick-ly became an explosive announcement by Toronto’s chiefof police. Then came Ford’s first of many apologies, moreaccusations and news that the police had the mayor andfriend Alexander Sandro Lisi under surveillance — includ-ing video of embarrassing if not suspicious public acts.

Over the past week, Ford has continued to peel off newlayers of this rotten onion, causing just as many tears frommockery as from those whom he has disappointed.

The mayor’s misadventures have become Canada’s firstunintentional reality TV hit, which even saw him and hiscouncillor brother Doug get their own TV show — only tohave it cancelled virtually overnight.

On Monday, most of his powers had been stripped byToronto city council, an act which the Fords attempted tocompare to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait 23 years ago.

While Prime Minister Harper’s fishing friend has turnedToronto, and to a lesser degree, Canada, into a punchline,we should not let his antics paint all politicians with thesame smear.

But he has given us a little justification to remain smugwesterners.

Re: “Corporate control a threat to food supply”letter to the editor, Wednesday, Nov. 13:

The allegations contained in Teresa Lynne’s recent let-ter condemning GMOs (genetically modified organisms)appear without any credible scientific evidence to supportthose allegations. In fact, the credible science does notsupport any of Ms. Lynne’s allegations.

While the Union of British Columbia Municipalitiesmay have passed a motion calling on the province to bangenetically modified foods, all that proves is that munici-pal politicians are very susceptible to the propaganda andpressures of any special interest group with a particularaxe to grind.

This anti-GMO campaign has little to do with science,and everything to do with ideology. There is virtually nocredible scientific evidence to support a ban on genetic-ally modified foods. Even the World Health Organization,while calling for monitoring and testing of geneticallymodified foods, states:

“GM foods currently available on the international mar-ket have passed risk assessments and are not likely to pres-ent risks for human health.”

See http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/biotech/20questions/en/

Genetically modified foods do provide benefits such asincreased yields and decreasing the need for pesticides.

Ms. Lynne states that some of her group will be visitingcity councils to urge a ban on GMOs. While such a meas-ure is beyond the jurisdiction of any municipal council,even more important is how unfortunate it would befor municipal politicians to vote on a resolution to bananything based on misrepresentations and without a fullunderstanding of the credible science on this subject.

PIPELINESWILLHAVEA COST

Re: “Kinder Morgan CEOmakes Tri-Cities visit,”Friday Nov. 15.

It is interesting to hear KinderMorgan (KM) CEO present thepositive economic impacts oftheir proposed new pipeline.Unfortunately, and perhapsconveniently, he did not presentthe pending negative economicimpacts on this province.

The long-term positive eco-nomic benefits for B.C. are a fewhundred jobs. Not bad. The taxbenefits are $23 million a year.Nice. That sounds good but whenyou break it down it amounts tojust $4.94 per person.

Perhaps the real story thoughis the other side of the coin,issues not readily raised byEnbridge or KM. While we shouldnever look down our noses at anyform of job creation, there arealso some disturbing negativeeconomic impacts arising fromthis project.

For several years now,Enbridge, KM, the oil industryand federal politicians haveaggressively advanced pipelineprojects as economic generators,but have not readily mentionedthe resulting impact of increased

crude oil prices for all Canadians.Selling oil to China via the pro-posed pipeline instead of the U.S.will add $2 to $3 per barrel, aconclusion confirmed by severalreports and by Enbridge them-selves. This would translate toabout two cents per litre of gas.

We annually consume about1,115 litres per capita in B.C.— or about 21 litres a week.Accordingly, the resulting annualinflationary impact on people ofB.C. would be about $22 per per-son. This, offset against the $4.97of positive tax benefits, leaves uswith a net negative impact of $17per person in B.C.

However, that net negativeeffect is even greater when youconsider that gas is purchased bymost consumers with after–taxdollars. It’s even greater stillwhen one factors in the increasedcost of goods and services thatare also fuel or transportationdependent. And even greater stillwhen one considers the economicimpact of a spill from either apipeline or tanker on industrieslike fisheries, tourism or forestry.

Government agencies at everylevel will be heavily engaged inassessing, coordinating, monitor-ing, cleaning and rehabilitatingcoastal areas that would continuefor years or decades. There would

be legal action and costs across abroad spectrum.

However, in her April 20, 2012article, “British Columbia andPipeline Expansions: What’s in itfor us?” Vancouver Sun columnistBarbara Yaffe suggested that theNorthern Gateway project willhave an impact on a barrel of oilcloser to $25 to $30 per barrel,which may suggest a negativeimpact that will be tenfold of thatabove.

Remarkably, Canada is alreadyimporting about half of its petrol-eum needs. Why are we exportingraw materials to other countrieswho then process them for us,only to turn around and re-importthat processed product? If we arereally interested in developinglong term, sustainable, economicand energy security as the allegedthrust behind these projects, per-haps we should actually considerexporting less oil abroad.

Exporting close to a millionbarrels of raw bitumen a dayfrom Alberta to refineries in thesouthern U.S. and China meansthat Canada is exporting not onlyoil but jobs as well.

Global warming issues aside,enhancing domestic refininginfrastructure would generatemore residual and long-termeconomic benefit for Canadians

than sending a primary productto distant markets to be upgradedby somebody else and then soldback to us.

These proposed pipeline pro-jects may be good for the oilindustry and good for Alberta,but very bad for the B.C. andCanadian economies. When thesenegative economic impacts arelayered over the very significantand genuine environmental con-cerns of pipelines ruptures, tank-er spills, O2 emissions and cli-mate change, a profound pictureemerges very different from thatpresented by the KM CEO whichquickly undermines any supportfor further oil pipeline develop-ment intended for export.

Stolen computer has photos of deceased sonJeremy [email protected]

For thieves, it probablylooked like just an opportun-

ity to get some extra cash.But for a mother of a

deceased son, the computerstolen from a Port Coquitlam

storage locker at an apart-ment contained photos that

were priceless.Coquitlam Mounties said

thieves broke into a storagelocker on Nov. 1 at an apart-ment building in the 1600block of Grant Avenue, takinga number of items includinga computer. The computer’shard drive contained the onlyphotographs of the victim’sdeceased son.

Now police are appealingto the thieves to return thecomputer to its owner.

“The computer may not beworth a lot to the thieves, butit means the whole world tothe distraught mom,” RCMPCpl. Jamie Chung said in astatement. “The computer’shard drive contains photo-graphs of her son, who hadpassed away. For her, thosepictures have a lifetime ofhappy memories of her son.We hope whoever has it willfind it in their hearts to returnthe computer to the mother.”

Anyone with informa-tion related to the break-in is urged to contact theCoquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number2013-32676.

The RCMP’s EmergencyResponse Team was calledout to help in the arrest of adistraught man in CoquitlamSunday. The incident beganaround 5:30 p.m. afterCoquitlam Mounties receiveda call about an “emotionallydisturbed” man barricadedinside an apartment in the600 block of Lea Avenue.

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chungsaid officers tried to de-escal-ate the situation, but whenthat didn’t work, the ERT wascalled in.

“It was pretty clear to ourfirst responders that the maledidn’t want to talk to them,”Chung said.

Using pepper spray andbeanbags, the ERT got intothe apartment and arrestedthe man 90 minutes later.

The man was taken intocustody under the MentalHealth Act and taken to hos-pital to be treated for minorself-inflicted wounds and fora psychiatric evaluation.

Chung noted no one in thebuilding or any of the offi-cers involved were injuredduring the incident, pointingout erroneous informationthrough social media thatsome of the officers werehurt during the standoff.

He added investigators arestill determining if any char-ges are going to be consid-ered against the man.

Plan to change theatrenameupsets fansofRedRobinsonDon [email protected]

The decision to drop thename of a Canadian rock n’roll legend from a Coquitlamtheatre has fans seeing Red.

And now there’s onlineoutrage aimed at the Great

Canadian Gaming Corp.’smove to rename the RedRobinson Show Theatre.

An online petition postedon change.org by an anonym-ous group, “Save the name‘Red Robinson Theatre,’” hadgarnered more than 6,750

signatures by early Tuesdayafternoon. It was started lastweek, and includes the sup-port of popular entertainerMichael Bublé. On Friday,Bublé tweeted “Change thename of a theatre named afterthe legendary Red Robinson?

The name should remain!”Fans of the legendary

DJ Robinson say taking hisname off the marquee justseven years after the theatreopened is an insult.

“Red Robinson is aCanadian icon, I think it’s aslap in the face to change thename,” wrote Joanne Page ofPort Coquitlam in a post onthe petition page.

And Jon Lundquist ofCoquitlam agrees.

“Red Robinson is a rockand roll legend! He is syn-onymous with rock n’ rollnot only in the lower main-land but in North Americaand it only makes sense hisname stay on the theatre!”Lundquist wrote.

Fellow Vancouver mediaceleb Terry David Mulliganhas also signed on to the web-based bid to preserve the1,100-seat theatre’s name.The name change is part ofa major rebranding by GreatCanadian, which is turningthe Boulevard Casino into aHard Rock Casino.

Chuck Keeling, GreatCanadian’s executive director,said the corporation antici-pated some negative reactionto the rebranding when it wasannounced in October. Buthe said there is no disrespectmeant to Robinson, who hasbeen in the Rock and RollHall of Fame in Cleveland,Ohio for nearly 20 years.

“When you change some-thing as iconic as the nameassociated with Red and allhis achievements, you’regoing to get some kind ofreaction,” he said. “Not every-body is going to be happy.”

Keeling said Robinson willstill have a presence in thetheatre in the form of his rockmemorabilia, which is on dis-play in the venue.

Robinson got his start spin-ning records in Vancouverwhile still in high school in1954. The first radio announ-cer to consistently play rockn’ roll in Canada, he intro-duced legendary acts likeElvis Presley and the Beatles.

Robinson was not availablefor comment.

FINDING BALANCE IN ABUSY WORLD LIFE A15


School District 43 officials knew they wouldhave to make cuts to deal with a ballooning defi-cit, and on Tuesday employees and the publiclearned just how deep the reductions will beonce the budget is done.

To make up for a $12.1-million projected oper-ating deficit for the 2013/2014 school year, thedistrict is looking at cutting six per cent of itsstaff across the board.

More specifically, it’s proposing to cut 142 pos-

itions within the district.A further breakdown of the numbers has the

district cutting 81 teachers, 19 teacher assist-ants/special education assistants/youth workersalong with 32 clerical/custodial/IT and facilitiespositions and 10 from administration.

The staffing cuts add up to $11.5 million insavings.

Some of the positions being cut will be offsetby attrition, with as many as 30 staff in variouspositions already putting in their retirementpapers for the end of the year.

School trustees will provide more details on proposed cuts at a meeting Tuesday at the district’s offices.

Jay & Pavlina look forward to seeing you thisholiday season .

Party season set to kick off at Saint St GrillWith a promise of Port Moody’s

top fine dining cuisine, dancing,a live three-piece jazz band and bubblyat midnight, it is little wonder space atSaint St Grill’s New Year’s Eve party isfilling up fast.

The popular, well-establishedrestaurant hasn’t officially launchedits Dec. 31, 2013 celebration — yetits reservation book is half-full fromcustomers eager to get a seat at thecity’s most sought after New Year’sparty.

Although Saint St is busy preparingfor the Christmas rush (with space leftopen for festive lunches and dinners),their attention has turned to thetraditional end of year bash, due tocustomers’ overwhelming desire tobook tables early.

Saint St will feature a sumptuousfour-course feast for New Year’s Eve,accompanied by a three-piece jazzband (kicking up gears and adding avocalist post-dinner), dancing, partyfavours and, of course, bubbly as themidnight bells chime.

“It will be quite a night!”says Jay Smith,who runs one of Port Moody’s leadingrestaurants.“Saint St knows how tothrow a party!”

Jay’s right-hand associate and aninstitution in her own right, PavlinaPechacova, says,“This will be our 16thChristmas season. I think that must besome kind of record for Port Moodyand the TriCities.”

If you have plans for later in theevening, but don’t want to chanceyour party host’s burnt home-made

offerings, Saint St Grill — THE finedining destination of choice in the city— is serving up an early seating three-course dinner menu, with reservationsstarting at 5 p.m, thus presenting youthe option of enjoying the festivitieswithout worrying about the food!

“At this time of year, it’s a pleasureto see our regular customers andwelcome new ones.There is alwaysone of us (Jay or Pavlina) here, so youcan be assured to see a friendly face,”added Jay.

Over the years, Saint St Grill has beenthe festive lunch venue of choice forgroups of friends during the Christmasseason — those looking for somethinga cut above the ubiquitous chainrestaurant.

“Available reservations, which includes

Saint St’s private area, can still be hadfor that perfect office function,”saidJay,“But it books up fast.”

Saint St Grill, at 2510 St. John’s Street inPort Moody, is open seven days a week.Call 604-937-7477 for more informationand/or reservations. Or go online atwww.saintstgrill.com to view theirdelicious Christmas menus.

Ugly Sweater Day is set for Friday, Dec. 20.


Strengthening children, families, and communities... together.

At SHARE, we believe in supportingpositive relationships betweenparents/caregivers and teenagers.Creating and/or taking theopportunities to have conversationswith our youth is key to supportingthem to successfully navigate theteenage years. It can be valuable forour youth to experience adults asapproachable and a credible sourceof information. If we acquire basicknowledge and show openness toseek out information, we will beable to help our youth learn skills tocritically assess information and wewill keep the communication flowingand the relationships strong.

In the spirit of National Drug AwarenessWeek (November 18-24, 2013) SHARE’sCommunity and School Based PreventionProgram and Youth Substance UseServices invite you to take the short quizbelow to enhance your substance use andmental health knowledge. We encourageyou to discuss this information with others,especially youth, as this can be a greatconversation starter.

1) According to the latest large scalesurvey of youth in B.C, smoking amongyouth in B.C has

a) Steadily declined since 1998b) Remained the same since 1998c) Slightly increased since 1998d) Greatly increased since 1998

2) Which of the following copingmechanisms is the best way to deal withproblems?

a) Problem-solvingb) Using food or substances (alcohol,drugs, tobacco)

c) Talking to othersd) None of the above

3) What are the four most common mentaldisorders that affect children and teens inBC?

a) Eating disorders, Depression,Anxiety disorders and Psychosis

b) Schizophrenia, Depression,Psychosis and Bipolar disorder

c) Anxiety disorders, Attention deficit(hyperactivity) disorder, Conductdisorder and Depression

d) Conduct disorder, Bipolar disorder,Eating disorders and Depression

4) Marijuana is a plant that grows naturallyin the ground, therefore, there are nohealth risks associated with its use. Trueor False.

5) Men and women absorb alcoholdifferently. True or False.

Here are the answers:

1) A. According to the 2008 McCrearyCentre Adolescent Health Survey,26% of youth had tried smoking in 2008,compared to 56% in 1998. Source:www.mcs.bc.ca/ahs

2) D. There is no “best” way to cope ordeal with problems in life. We all havestrategies for coping that have workedwell for us and others that have been lesshelpful. Furthermore, coping strategiesare not universal, what has worked for oneproblem may not work for all problemsin your life. Efforts may also be problem-focused or emotion focused. Sometimeswe continue to use the same copingmechanism even though the results arenot what we want, this is usually a goodtime to consider making a change in howto respond to a problem

3) C. For more information on mentaldisorders that can affect children andyouth, visit www.heretohelp.bc.ca or www.mindcheck.ca

4) False. Although many people may beable to use marijuana recreationally withlittle risk, depending on the individual, itis possible to experience negative effectsfrom marijuana use. Regular marijuanause can impact young brains beforethey are fully developed, which doesn’toccur until well into adulthood. Effects ofmarijuana include, at high doses: panicattacks, temporary psychosis, anxietyand depression. Use can increase riskfor early onset of schizophrenia in those

who are vulnerable to the disorder dueto a personal or family history with thecondition. Heavy long term use can causerespiratory problems including shortnessof breath and bronchitis. Depending onhow the marijuana was grown, there is alsorisk of ingesting fertilizers and pesticides.Source: www.heretohelp.bc.ca

5) True. Women have less fluid in theirbodies to dilute alcohol, and less of anenzyme that breaks down alcohol. Sowomen feel more of the effects, and fora longer time, than men who drink thesame amount. Source: www.carbc.ca/Publications/HealthPromotion

To paraphrase one of AlfredHitchcock’s great films, the TerryFox Ravens are travelling to a climaxnorth by north West.

One more win and they’ll reachthe northern-most peak — a berthinto the B.C. High School AAA seniorfootball final.

Powered by running back MikeWest, the Ravens trampled overcross-district rival the CentennialCentaurs 45-0 Friday in torrentialand chilly conditions.

West, a Grade 11 rusher who dueto injuries has just recently hit hismidseason stride, scored five timesand gained 249 yards on just 16carries. He also recorded a pair ofquarterback sacks on defence.

As quarterfinal performances go,co-coach Tom Kudaba said Fox’sshowing was near perfect, consider-ing the conditions.

“We haven’t had to show a lotof what [West] can do during theseason because of his injury andwe’re so deep,” said Kudaba. “Hegot the ball [Friday] and ran with it.He can have that kind of impact andcertainly has the ability to be one ofthe best in the province.”

Up 15-0 at the half, Fox explodedoffensively over the final two quar-ters while the defence reined inCentennial’s gameplan, giving themno space or time to move the ball.

Despite the rain, the No. 2-rankedRavens were sure-handed andlooked like a provincial contender.

“The weather was harsh for bothteams and it kind of took away a lotof what they do with (quarterbackNick) Okamoto,” said Kudaba. “Wehave a very strong defence this yearand we really held them in check.”

Kyle Deugau also scored, whileKyle Sagmoen led the defence.

They’ll have to repeat that per-fornance this Saturday (7:30 p.m.at UBC Stadium) against the W.J.Mouat Hawks.

Mouat advanced to the semifinalsby clobbering Handsworth 50-22,getting four touchdowns and 243yards from senior standout MaleekIrons.

In their previous meeting, Foxfocused on Irons and successfullyunplugged the NCAA-bound run-ning back, keeping him under 100

yards in a 17-7 victory a month ago.“I don’t think the score was indica-

tive of either team,” said Kudaba.“We certainly put an emphasis onIrons and holding him to fewer than100 yards was something he’s notuse to.

“He can carry that team, but it willcome down to our line and their line.We’re confident.”

If the defence can contain Irons tomerely good numbers again, insteadof his usual flashy totals, then the

club should have an excellent chanceto advance.

“We don’t think we played ourbest when we faced them last time,”remarked Kudaba. “We looked atfacing [Irons] as a challenge at firstbut know they know they can han-dle him. You’re not going to stophim, but you need to limit those biggains.”

The other semifinal pits LordTweedsmuir against No. 1-rankedMount Doug.

Harken back to another time, whenthe Chevrolet Vega and waterbedswere commonplace and local hockeyplayers’ dreams were in the stars —literally.

Before the Coquitlam Express therewas another hard-scrabble crew thatfought for provincial supremacy calledthe Coquitlam Comets, and the formerwill honour the latter during Friday’sB.C. Hockey League game at thePoirier Sports Centre.

Local businessman Sandy Michieran the community’s first big-timehockey team for more than a dec-ade, helping to pilot the Pacific Coastleague’s merger with the BCHL.

The Comets was a stepping stonefor Tri-Cities and Burnaby boys whowanted to compete at a high levelwhile preparing for a career.

“We wanted an opportunity for thekids to play in the Lower Mainland andstill go to university or go to work,”recalled Michie, who will be joined bya number of Comet alumni at Friday’sgame. “We had all kinds of differentplayers — what’s the saying about thecandlestick makers? I don’t know if wehad those but we had everything else,they (went on to be) lawyers, doctors,firemen, policemen.”

For its first few years in the mid-1960s the club was run by Coquitlamminor hockey as a junior B franchise.Michie took over in 1968 and wouldlater help spearhead a push that sawthe Pacific Coast league elevated tothe junior A ranks.

“In 1975 we played the BellinghamBlazers for the B.C. title and out of thefive years we operated from 1975 to80 I think we challenged three timesfor the championship. We did prettywell.”

Being honoured by the Express— which will see Coquitlam wear areplica jersey against Penticton — isgoing to be special, with many famil-iar faces expected to pack Poirier.

“Of course it’s a great honour for meto be the guy that’s the spokesman onbehalf of the junior hockey club … Ispent 15 years of good times here.”

Friday’s festivities begin at 5:30 p.m.at Poirier with a free fan pre-gameBBQ, courtesy of Pinetree VillagePriceSmart, with those wearing ahockey jersey to the game receiving $3off the ticket price at the box office.
