FRIDAYOctober 28, 2011
Port Moody council is seeking a new vision for thefuture of the Murray-Clarke corridor.
The city is embarking on a “visioning exercise”with TransLink to review options for the corridorbefore removing it from the major road network(MRN).
For nearly a year, council has considered remov-ing Guildford Way, Murray Street and Clarke Streetfrom the MRN to make them part of the local roadnetwork. Discussions began after TransLink con-firmed there is currently no money to build theMurray-Clarke Connector.
City staff identified two main options for thevisioning exercise discussions. The first idea is tomaintain the existing predominant two lanes of trav-el, while the second idea is to improve the corridorto carry more traffic.
For Coun. Diana Dilworth, there may be otheravenues to consider.
“I think it’s important to note … that TransLinkhas indicated that they are supporting movingforward with a joint visioning exercise. They arewilling to work with us and, seriously, they need to
be. I think they understood very clearly if they’renot going to provide the corridor, there’s going tobe a number of transportation issues they have toresolve,” Dilworth said at Tuesday’s council meeting.
“I think this gives us the opportunity to speakwith business owners who are down there, peoplewho use that route. I think using creativity and look-ing at a number of different options, we can come upwith a solution that’s not as confrontational as tak-ing the road out of the MRN.”
Coun. Mike Clay agreed.“If [TransLink] has a better idea, then we should
be all ears for that,” Clay said.“But I think that this report lays out an excellent
framework for talking to TransLink in light of thefallback position, for this is prior to continuing toremove this from the MRN.”
Removal of the Murray-Clarke corridor from theMRN could have a financial impact of $492,465per year, or an average 1.86-per-cent tax increase,according to a city staff report. These numbersinclude a loss of TransLink contributions to capitaland operating costs, as well as a potential loss ofgrants for improvement projects.
For Coun. Gerry Nuttall, these costs are too high.“I’m not prepared to simply take it out [of
the MRN] and charge the taxpayers of this city
$500,000,” Nuttall said. “I think we have to do ourdue diligence.”
Coun. Bob Elliott, however, feels the city has beenwaiting long enough.
“We’ve been waiting 20 years for this … I justsound like an old broken record in this. But what’sthe point in talking to them anymore? They’re noteven listening anyway. It’s off their books. It’s noteven on their radar. They’ve told us that many, manytimes,” Elliott said.
“The only action I can see on this is taking thisout of the MRN as council voted to do … Enough isenough. We have to take immediate action on this.”
For Coun. Karen Rockwell, the solution doesn’thave to be all or nothing.
“I think there’s endless possibilities for that cor-ridor and I think this provides us with the opportun-ity to sit down with TransLink and say ‘Here it is.’ Itdoesn’t have to be all or nothing,” Rockwell said.
“Clearly right now, it’s nothing. TransLink’s notdoing anything. We’re not getting our Murray-ClarkeConnector. It may end up that way at the end of theday, but maybe there are some creative solutions inworking with the residents and the businesses andcommuters.”
Council agreed that staff should move forwardwith the visioning exercise framework.

Parents at AldersonElementary are still strug-gling to restock emergencysupplies after vandals stolethe school’s safety stash in thespring.
Vandals broke intoAlderson’s emergency supplybin in May and took morethan $2,100 worth of safetysupplies.
Anna Buchan, parentadvisory council (PAC) treas-urer, said they have started torestock using money raisedthrough last year’s fundrais-ers.
“It’s so sad. We’re tryingto replenish everything wecan. To me, it doesn’t makeany sense. It’s just too bad,”Buchan said.
“The PAC’s trying to dowhat they can. It’s somethingso important. I think theschool district should replaceit. But I guess if they do it forone school, they have to do itfor everybody.”
Wendy Bennett, SchoolDistrict 43’s health andsafety manager, said twoother schools — James ParkElementary and MinnekhadaMiddle — also had theiremergency supplies stolenlast year. The school districtis not able to fund all suppliesat each school on its annualbudget of $20,000 for emer-gency preparedness.
“The budget focused onsupplies initially. When itstarted, we provided $500 perelementary school. Then wegave them a huge list andpriced it all out. We were ableto do a bulk buy and get them

It won’t hurt the little guy because it’s adifferent game entirely.
That was the message from officials withthe Great Canadian Casino Corp. two daysafter Coquitlam council began the earlyapproval stages towards building a newhotel at the United Boulevard Casino.
With the exception of Couns. LouSekora and Neal Nicholson, councilapproved the first three readings of azoning amendment Monday to allow foran 11-storey hotel to be built next to thepopular Coquitlam casino.
Some of the concerns at the publichearing, and other events promoting thenew venture, centred around the beliefthat the new building would squeeze outother hotels from the local market.
Not so, says Great Canadian vice-pres-ident Howard Blank.
“I know it’s not apples to apples, butif you look at some of the smaller motorinns and things like that in Richmond,they have seen a boon from our businesssince we opened up the River Rock,” hesaid. “There are a number of people whodo not want to pay the prices that we arecharging at the resort. We are not going toundercut these other hotels.”
The hotel still needs to pass fourth andfinal reading next month, and Blank’scompany hasn’t set a firm timeline as towhen the new lodging could open.
If and when it does, it will also includea conference centre, banquet hall, spa,lounge and restaurant space, on top of 181rooms.
Outside of Monday’s public hearing,a separate public consultation was heldin late August — of the 36 comments
received about the proposal, 29 wereopposed while seven were in favour ofthe new development. A city staff reportnotes that about 75 per cent of those inopposition to the hotel were “employees ofthe Best Western at 319 North Rd. or resi-dents concerned about the hotel market inCoquitlam.”
“Do we prevent a new coffee shop fromopening up in our city because it mightput the old coffee shop at risk? I think wehave to be mindful of that, but these arecompletely different markets,” said MayorRichard Stewart. “The guest that wants towatch a world-class performer at the RedRobinson and then stay overnight wants tobe at the casino.”
For Nicholson, his vote against theproposal was rooted in two elements: hisopposition to gambling and the belief thata hotel near the casino would preventanother hotel from being built in the CityCentre area.
“I think we need a hotel in the CityCentre and I think building a hotel else-where reduces our chances of getting that.It pushes the timeline out,” he said in aninterview.
Sekora echoed those sentimentsWednesday, suggesting the proposed hotelwould stall any hotel development in theCity Centre for upwards of a decade.
“If we had a hotel built in the CoquitlamCentre first, then I would have definitelysupported the one at the casino,” Sekorasaid. “But now, if this thing gets built, itwill certainly be 10 to 15 years before ahotel goes into Coquitlam Centre. Therewon’t be demand for the rooms. It’s bad,bad timing.”
Fourth and final reading for the pro-posal is likely to take place some time inNovember.

The Golden Spike Days Festivalis back in the black.
Festival society president SallyComin presented Port Moody citycouncil with a $14,000 chequeTuesday to repay the outstandingbalance on its loan.
The society originally borrowed$16,000 from the city in 2009.Last year, $2,000 was repaid, andanother $5,000 was supposed to berepaid in 2011.
In April, however, Comin askedcouncil to forgive all or part ofthe outstanding balance. Councilrejected the idea but gave thesociety until October to review itsfinances and report back with anew repayment schedule.
“In light of the continuing eco-nomic turbulence, we needed todevelop and adhere to a balancedbudget. We raised funds throughour own fundraising efforts,through grants from both thefederal and provincial government,and through significant contribu-tions from our main sponsors,Pacific Coast Terminals and PortMetro Vancouver,” Comin said atTuesday’s council meeting.
“At the same time, we hadto allot less to staging and paidevents and looked at more low-cost entertainment that wouldcontinue to draw the public — a
hard task, as you can imagine, butwe managed to do just that.”
Volunteers and communitymembers also stepped forward tohelp out, she added.
“So many community busi-nesses came forward with greatideas and cost-cutting measures.For example, we worked with thePort Moody Museum this year,tying the two locations together tocelebrate the 125th anniversary ofthe railway. There were heritageactors milling about both sites.The museum had a scavenger huntall throughout the park, and therewas also a miniature train display,”Comin said.
“We had a traditional and familyfeel to the whole event and wouldlove to see even more of that nextyear, bringing back some moreold-fashioned flavour. Our goalwas to bring together the com-munity as much as possible, andwe definitely achieved that.”
Although the festival had a suc-cessful year, the hard work mustcontinue, organizers say.
“While we had a great year,we still need to be mindful thateconomically as a whole, the coun-try is not out of the woods yet,”Comin said.
“Our success could also not havebeen achieved without our won-derful volunteers and sponsors, towhom we are truly grateful.”

a ton of stuff,” Bennett said.“The next year, we were
able to do that for middleschools. Last year, we provid-ed secondaries with some sup-plies, and we provided someassistance to schools that arein need of other supplies.”
Plans are underway for howto allocate this year’s emer-gency funds.
“There’s so many schoolsand there’s so much demandfor money. They try to putthe money that they have,as much as they can, in theclassrooms,” Bennett said. “Sothe fact that we have a por-tion allocated for emergencypreparedness supplies is fabu-lous.”
Emergency supply binsoften contain food, water,shovels, tools, tarps, flash-lights, lanterns, pop-up shel-ters, first aid kits and more.
“If you were to set up campoutside, it has everythingyou would need in the eventthat the school was not to bereoccupied. For the kids thatdon’t get picked up initially,we’re going to need to keepthem,” Bennett said. “Chancesare, starting at this time ofyear, it will be raining andcold. They would set up sothe students who hadn’t beenpicked up would have some-where to stay warm and dry.”
At one local school, a fam-ily donated a barbecue to theemergency stocks.
“One of the biggest thingsif we have a major earthquakeis the ability to have hot food.It’s much more comforting
to have hot soup or anythingthat’s warm,” Bennett said.
“With barbecues, you canalso boil water. You don’tknow what the tap water’sgoing to be like, so you canboil it and you know it’s safeto drink at that point. Thereare lots of advantages.”
At other schools, likeRochester Elementary, theemergency water supply isnow expired and needs to bereplaced.
“You can still use the foilpouches for other things,like for cooking and washingand first aid. You can freezethem and they make great icepacks,” Bennett said.
“But as far as drinking
water is concerned, theywant to replace it becauseit’s all expired. In that case,it may be the PAC that getsinvolved.”
Meanwhile at Alderson,Buchan and other parents areworking to replenish emer-gency resources.
“It’s a necessity. It’s some-thing that needs to be done.It’s disturbing,” Buchan said.
“Some of the stuff is justoutrageously expensive, so we
really have to shop around.It’s just doing the legwork totry and find everything. It’sbeen a hard year.”
Like many others, Buchancan’t understand why anyonewould steal emergency sup-plies from an elementaryschool.
“I guess people turn aroundand sell that for money. Butyou’re stealing from kids. Ifsomething were to happenand we don’t have anything,
can you imagine? How wouldthat person feel? Do thesepeople have no conscience?”she asked.
“Usually Alderson doesn’thave vandalism. There’s so
many community people inthe area. We couldn’t believeit. Who would do that?”
Anyone interested in donat-ing to Alderson can contactthe school at 604-939-8301.

Firefighters to stick with ’staches for Movember
There’s the Fu Manchu,the Dali, the Handlebar, thePencil, the Super Mario, theZorro, the Watson and theChaplin.
This Movember, manymoustached men may begrooming, trimming and wax-ing these styles in mirrorsacross the country.
For this annual fund-raiser, men grow moustachesthroughout November toraise awareness — and mo’money — for prostate cancerresearch.
This year, Port Coquitlam’sfirefighters are growing their’staches to support the cause.
Firefighter Ryan Masi saidthe entire department of 63guys has signed up and isready to sport their stubble.
“I’ve never had a mous-tache, ever, which is a com-mon theme around the firehall,” Masi said.
To comply with Movemberrules, all participants muststart on Nov. 1 with a clean-shaven face. For the rest ofthe month, they must growand groom their moustache.However, the Mo can’t meetup with sideburns or it will beconsidered a beard. Likewise,handlebars can’t join with the
chin or it will be considered agoatee.
For Masi, along with fel-low organizers Adam Mylesand Kirk Paterson, the mostimportant part of the month-long moustache marathonis to raise funds for a goodcause.
“We’re going to visit all theshifts at work, take picturesof them and upload them tothe [Movember] website, soit gives all our friends andfamily something to look at.It’s going to be a good laugh,I think, for a lot of people,”Masi said.
“A lot of guys are going tohave trouble growing a mous-tache. A lot of guys are goingto grow funny-looking ones.Even if it looks good, it willjust be different. I think if wecan give them something tolook at on the website, there’smore of a chance of themdonating.”
The local firefighters willalso host a fundraising hockeytournament on Nov. 18 atPlanet Ice Coquitlam from 8a.m. to 4 p.m. A dozen LowerMainland fire departmentteams will compete in thefour-on-four tourney, with all
proceeds going to Movember.“We encourage people to
come out and cheer on thefirefighters, laugh at our mus-taches and buy some of ourraffle tickets, which includesome awesome prizes alldonated by our local retail-ers,” Masi said.
The team also has some in-house initiatives collected formoustache motivation.
“We have some prizes atwork for anybody that does gothe whole month, so there’ssome incentive there,” Masisaid.
“We also have an early
shave-off fee, so if somebodygrows their moustache butonly lasts two weeks becauseit looks so horrible, we’regoing to charge them for it ifthey shave it off.”

If the B.C. government is looking for a policyissue that’s sure to be a winner with voters, itneed look no further than the issue of the prov-
ince’s high auto insurance rates.Contrary to the myth promoted by public auto
insurance monopolies and their supporters, B.C.drivers pay higher premiums relative todrivers in most other provinces, a factconfirmed by a new comparison of auto-mobile insurance premiums across all 10provinces. The average premium paid byB.C. drivers exceeded $1,100 in 2009.
That is the second highest rate of allprovinces. The average premium in 2009was slightly lower than premiums in the previoustwo years, which exceeded $1,200. Nevertheless, B.C.drivers paid the highest average rates in 2007 fortheir insurance coverage and the second highest in2008.
In contrast, average premiums in Alberta neverexceeded $1,000 during these same three yearsexcept for 2009 when the average premium was$1,004. Insurance was even more affordable acrossall four Atlantic provinces, where average premiumsnever exceeded $800 in any of the three years exam-ined in the study.
What can be done in B.C. to improve affordability?The B.C. auto insurance market is dominated by theInsurance Corp. of British Columbia, a government-
owned insurance company with a monopoly over theprovision of basic coverage, which includes personalinjury and liability coverage. In other words, theprovincial government refuses to allow any otherinsurer to offer coverage for personal injury or per-sonal liability.
Past studies on the affordability ofauto insurance by my colleagues haveconsistently found that insurance costsless in provinces where insurance isdelivered through an appropriatelyregulated, private sector insurancemarket where insurers compete againsteach other to attract business.
From 2007 through 2009, the four provinceswhere auto insurance has been most costly andleast affordable are B.C., Manitoba, Ontario andSaskatchewan. With the exception of Ontario, whichhas significantly high claims costs per passengervehicle for a number of reasons including the preva-lence of insurance fraud, what these provinces havein common is the presence of a government-runauto insurance monopoly.
Insurance is more affordable in Alberta and theAtlantic provinces, which have private sector mar-kets. The only province with a government-runinsurance monopoly that performs well in affordabil-ity is Quebec, where the monopoly is limited to bod-ily industry leaving the rest of insurance coverage to
the private sector, and where mandatory insurancecoverage requirements are lower.
The results of this new comparison, as well as pre-vious versions by my colleagues, are not surprising.In contrast to government monopolies, in order tosurvive and earn a return on capital, private insur-ers must be efficient in all aspects of the business,including claims management, pricing strategiesand customer service. In private sector insurancemarkets, insurers have to compete for their custom-ers, and a big part of that is providing competitivepricing. Individual insurers develop their own riskrating systems to price policies, which are approvedby local regulators.
Drivers in B.C. should be asking why the prov-incial government continues to restrict consumerchoice and forces them to purchase auto insuranceat rates higher than necessary. Maintaining ICBC asa government monopoly has served no public inter-est objective and has been a disservice to B.C. driv-ers. A move to an appropriately regulated competi-tive market is long overdue.
Maintaining ICBC ‘a disservice to B.C. drivers’
I am typically a bike rider on the PoCo River Trailand so I am constantly encountering dogs off-leash,other people on bikes riding side by side, coupleswith their children, etc. It would be nice if peoplewere aware that they should be walking, riding andstrolling on the right side of the path in the direc-tion they are travelling.
Parents should educate their childrenthat they should be biking and walkingon the right. People who stop to talk tofriends should try to move off of the pathso traffic can still flow through. Peoplewith ear buds in who cannot hear any-thing around them should be on the correct side,always. If the city were to put up some signs regard-ing sharing the pathways and which is the safe sideto travel on, this would be very helpful to those whodon’t know and also for those who do.
People in general seem extremely self-centredand many are completely unaware that they are notthe only person on the trail at any given time. As abike rider, I feel as if I am going through an obstaclecourse and it can be very frustrating and sometimes
very frightening. On a number of occasions I havehad close calls with small dogs running straightat me or across the path in front of my bike. Theowners of these dogs don’t seem to realize how dan-gerous it would be if I fell off of my bike, or perhapsthey just don’t care. There has never been an apol-
ogy for any incident I have ever encoun-tered as to the fact that someone couldhave been seriously hurt and the situa-tion could have been completely avoidedif the rules were being followed.
I feel that the city has a responsibil-ity for the safety of everyone who uses
the parks, and I presume that is why these laws werecreated in the first place. I have never seen a bylawofficer anywhere on the PoCo River Trail handingout warnings or fines and perhaps at the same timethey could hand out rewards to the pet owners whohave their animals on a leash. On most days, thereis about 30-per-cent compliance to the leash law— that is some pretty easy money.

Childhood diabetes continues to grow as amajor health problem across Canada andNorth America.
That’s probably not what you want to hear,just around the time that Halloween is thefirst thing on all the kids’ minds — Halloweenand the bags of treats they hope to score,either creeping out the neighbourhood withtheir clever costumes or joining friends at fes-tive, and generally sweets-laden, parties.
But this is a time of year when parents prob-ably are most justified in getting “spooked”about sugar.
Going on a sugar binge isn’t good for any-one’s health — not at any age.
But asking your kids to pass on an all-outsugar high doesn’t mean they have to pass upthe treats altogether.
The Canadian Diabetes Association, anational organization committed to provid-ing helpful resources for people affected bydiabetes, offers these tips for turning trick-or-treating into healthy eating this Halloween:
• Sort through the stash. After trick-or-treat-ing, have children go through their bountyand pick out their favourite sweets. Rationthem out evenly with snacks or after meals.Halloween treats also make a great additionto packed school lunches.
• It doesn’t have to be sweet to be a treat.Instead of filling bags with sugar, give outnon-food treats like yoyos, temporary tattoos,magic tricks and dollar store gags.
• Walk, don’t drive. Staying active is import-ant for any child’s development and to helpmaintain a healthy body weight. Instead ofdriving through the neighbourhood to trick-or-treat, walk with your child or offer to walkwith several of their friends.
• Make a healthy meal part of the deal.Eating a balanced meal, including vege-tables and protein, before heading out forHalloween fun will make kids less likely tosnack on their goodies while they’re out trick-or-treating.

Ishould stop watching TV.I really need to cut down on
the time I spend banging my headon the coffee table and shaking withrage.
Now, it’s not bad acting or badwriting or even cheap reality showsthat drive me to madness. It’s badscience.
You wouldn’t think thiswould come up so often,but TV screenwriters anddirectors seem to go toa special institute wherescientific knowledgeis removed from theirbrains, possibly with hotneedles and bleach.
To be clear, I know that there aresome things we’ll just have to take forgranted, based on TV budgets. Anti-gravity and artificial gravity aren’tpossible, but having the cast of StarTrek float around on wires wouldbe awkward. Likewise, faster-than-light travel is impossible, but gettingCaptain Kirk to his next encounterwith a bouffant-haired space babewould take too long without it.
But when a show makes science abig part of its premise and pretendsto be getting it right, things get pain-ful.
Consider Unforgettable, a new ser-ies that’s about a former cop withhyperthymesia. This is a conditionpresented as perfect recall of all pastevents. So the main character can
confidently walk out of a crime scenehaving scanned the place once, andneed never glance at a photo of itagain. But while a lot of articles pres-ent hyperthymesia as a photographicmemory, it’s more complicated thanthat.
The most famous hyperthymesticis a woman named Jill Price, who has
astonishing recall of theevents of her own life.But dig a bit deeper, andher memory isn’t perfect.Given a normal memorytest, such as a list ofitems of information tocommit to memory, she
doesn’t do better than anyone else.She can remember her own life, itseems, because she can’t stop obses-sively thinking about it.
Then there’s Terra Nova. Yay! Ashow about dinosaurs! I love dino-saurs!
Oh, wait, the creators know abso-lutely nothing and are just makingcrap up as they go along? Boo!
Terra Nova is set 85 millionyears in the past. So of course it hasBrachiosaurus and Allosaurus (livedabout 150 million years ago) andCarnotaurus (lived about 75 millionyears ago) and a bunch of made-updinosaurs.
One of the characters tosses offa remark in the pilot, intended toestablish her as the smart one, aboutthe brachiosaurus’ incisors — except
that dinosaurs never had incisors, ormolars or canines. Only mammalshave specialized kinds of teeth.
The writer couldn’t be bothered tolook up a single real fact for her toannounce? This brings out my nerdrage until my face turns red, my headexplodes and my girlfriend has toscrape my brains off the walls.
You know what makes for good TV?Real science.
Hyperthymesia is fascinating, andPrice has said it’s as much a burdenas a gift. Dinosaurs existed from220 million years ago to 65 millionyears ago, and as far more than kill-ing machines to menace a few goodguys. Likewise, there are interestingstories of forensic science that don’tinvolve neon-lit labs with instantDNA matching, stories set in thesilent vacuum of space that don’thave loud explosions, and tales ofhistory that don’t involve secret Jesusconspiracies.
If you want to just make stuff up,you can. One of my favourite shows isabout a vampire slayer, after all.
But if you want to tell stories withscience, please do it right. Do yourhomework, read a book, maybe two.Good science leads to better storiesthan bad science.

Shutters wouldbe cheaper
than repairs towindows
Re: “School windowswrecked,” Friday, Sept.9.
Both my sonsattended this school(Kwayhquitlum Middle),and I was an active PACmember at the time theyattended.
I could not understandwhy this school, alongwith any other school, isnot built with shutters.
It seems to me thatfrom an education stand-point, School District43 is not very intelligent— and surely in the longrun insurance claimsand premiums have faroutweighed the cost ofshutters.

Fraser Health looks at Coquitlam residents
Eat your veggies, get more active and kickthe nic.
That was the overarching message atCoquitlam City Hall Monday, when a trio ofFraser Health representatives gave the city’sland use committee an introduction to amulti-jurisdictional health initiative called theHealthier Communities Partnership.
A partnership between the province, localhealth authorities and individual munici-palities, the newly launched program aimsto encourage more collaboration among allparties to deliver better health outcomes andlifestyles.
Fraser Health community health specialist
Ruth Hellerud-Brown was among the present-ers Monday, and her discussion pointed to localnumbers that, for the most part, coincide withregional averages.
Stats from 2008 point tocancer as the leading causeof death in 2008 (33.5 percent), followed by heart dis-ease at (19.1 per cent) inthe Coquitlam local healthauthority. However, the localhealth authority does havelower rates of diabetes, asthma,heart disease and hypertensioncompared to B.C. and FraserHealth averages.
“Coquitlam’s numbers arepretty similar to the averages right acrossFraser Health,” Hellerud-Brown said.
“A lot of these numbers go across the boardthroughout B.C. We need to be healthier, weneed to be more active, we need to eat more
fruits and vegetables and weneed to continue to reducesmoking rates — those are thethree keys.”
Stats looking at the FraserNorth region, which encom-passes the Tri-Cities, NewWestminster, Burnaby, MapleRidge and Pitt Meadows, sug-gest residents are less physic-ally active than the provincialaverage. The report also sug-gests that only 45 per cent ofresidents eat the five recom-
mended daily servings of fruits and vegetables.The provincial average in that area is slightly
more than 43 per cent.For Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, insti-
gating change starts with the youngest of theyoung.
“Whether our kids are making the rightchoices at school is an anguish that every par-ent feels,” he said. “Change starts with gettingkids into the right habits. We’ve spent threeyears arguing for a U-Pass for Douglas College,and with that, it brings up an entire generationmaking better and more sustainable choicesabout transportation.”
Hellerud-Brown said it’s too early to setan end date for the Healthier CommunitiesPartnership, and that benchmarks haven’t beenset yet.
“What we’re looking at is the HealthierCommunities Partnerships as a starting pointto work with municipalities,” she said.

Motorists who use United Boulevard will notice significantimprovements in access to the area beginning tomorrow(Saturday, Oct. 29), according to the City of Coquitlam.
The King Edward corridor is set to reopen, featuring a newoverpass.
“The King Edward Overpass is a strategic new connectionthat reconnects historic Maillardville to the Fraser River, as wellas providing a reliable link for local businesses and residents,”Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said in a press release.
“The city would like to thank all of the businesses, neigh-bours and visitors to the area for your patience during the con-struction. This link enhances the long-term viability for futuredevelopment along the Fraser River.”
The new overpass, replacing the narrow three-lane underpass,is designed to reduce congestion and improve traffic movementbetween Lougheed Highway and United Boulevard with fourlanes of traffic that pass over Highway 1 and the railway tracks.
“The new overpass will also enhance cycling and pedestrianmovements with a four-metre wide, multi-use pathway thatconnects Mackin Park on the north side to the proposed river-front development at Fraser Mills on the south side,” said gen-eral manager of strategic initiatives Maurice Gravelle.
Vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists can start using the newoverpass at approximately 7 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29, but arereminded that there will be some ongoing work over the nextfew months to complete the finishing touches.
The city is planning a grand opening community event in thenew year to celebrate Coquitlam’s newest piece of infrastruc-ture.

Parenting
Have a plan for HalloweenIt’s the time of year for us to let our chil-
dren head outside in the evening and goup and down the block, knocking on doors.
Sounds strange, but that’s Halloween.It’s a great holiday for kids but one that
makes parents nervous. The trick is to plan tomake it a safe and fun day for all.
Toddlers will only want to go to a few fam-iliar homes and they’ll want youto go right to the door with them.Once they are in elementary schoolthey’ll need you with them butprefer that you stay back a shortdistance. By about 10 or 11 they’llbe ready to head out alone with afew friends.
If at all possible, talk to thefriend’s parents so you can co-ordinate your rules and expecta-tions.
It’s always helpful when all the kids in agroup know that their parents have talked toeach other and the rules are set for all of them.Have at least one of the kids carry a cellphoneso they can reach you if need be. But don’t callthem; trust them.
We’d all prefer that the kids be out in day-light but of course that’s just not the point.The fun is being out after dark. So, light upthe kids. A flashlight and anything fluorescentwill allow them to see and make them visibleto others. Pick up a roll of reflective tape toadd to the costume. Kids also like the glow-in-the-dark stickers and necklaces. These arefun for the kids and make them safer. Whitepillowcases make good loot bags, as they arealso visible.
Whether you’re going with the kids orthey’re heading out (gulp!) alone, plan theroute. If you involve your kids with this rightfrom when they’re young, they’ll just expect
that this is part of the routine.Have them walk down one side of a block,
cross at a well-lit intersection and return downthe other side. Darting back and forth acrossthe street is very dangerous.
Make sure they understand to only go tohouses that are well-lit. A dark house is a signthat the owners are either out or don’t want to
participate.These are things you will have
been teaching them during theyears that you accompanied them,so they will know what to expect.
Plan a route that makes homethe middle of the trek. That way,when they check in, they canempty their bags if they wish andeither continue or call it a night.
Tell your trick-or-treaters notto eat anything until you’ve had
a chance to check it out. Toss anything thatlooks suspicious, torn, opened or tamperedwith and only eat homemade treats if youknow the giver.
So now, at the halfway point you have achance to check the candy they’ve received sothey can eat some of their treats.
And here’s a neat trick. Younger childrentend to receive more candy. The cute little kidsreally do get a lot of loot. So, recycle. Save thefavourites and because a toddler or preschooleris home earlier than the bigger kids, check thestuff for safety and then hand it out to otherkids visiting your house.

Pumpkins a staple for manyPumpkins are an integral part of
Halloween today just as they were inthe pioneer times of North America
— though the foods and celebrations havebecome far more theatrical and macabre.
Originally, Halloween was the last of thethree pagan harvest festivals for those Celticimmigrants who remembered the old ways.It was the last chance for pumpkins, applesand nuts to be gathered and the early pioneerpumpkin pies reflected that end-of-season gathering.
Unlike today’s pies, the earlypioneer pie was the shell of apumpkin into which nuts, apples,raisins and other fruits wereplaced. It was usually the centre-piece of the supper table. Later,when times were more removedfrom hard-scrabble farming, thepumpkin pie we know today beganto be produced.
But in earlier days when surviv-ing the winter was a real concern, pumpkinssaved many a family from starvation.
Those heritage pumpkins grew very large,very fast and, though the inside flesh of somewas quite stringy, their thick outside skinshelped them to keep better than many otherfoods.
But they still had to last until spring cropswere available. That’s why the pioneers slicedpumpkins and hung them to dry from roofbeams. They also made pumpkins into sauces,puddings, soups, stews, bread, muffins, cookiesand, of course, pumpkin pies.
It seems at times there was entirely toomuch pumpkin in the diet for some people.
There is a little pioneer verse that reads:“Instead of pottage and puddings and custardsand pies, our pumpkins and parsnips are com-mon supplies. We have pumpkin at morning
and pumpkin at noon. If it was not for pump-kin we should be undoon.”
Pumpkin blossom tea was also drunk inseason, and pumpkin flowers were said to bedelicious when fried. The pioneers would haveused only male flowers since every femaleflower is a potential pumpkin fruit. Femaleflowers have a fat little central ovary that’s easyto identify.
Pumpkin seeds were also roasted and eaten.They were believed to be an excel-lent aphrodisiac — certainly theyare very nutritious.
The seeds and the shells werealso said to be eaten by FirstNations people who baked squashwhole among ash in their firepits.
Often pumpkin was grown in acombination of corn, beans andpumpkin known as the “threesisters.”
The beans fixed nitrogen, whichnourished the corn. The corn
served as poles for the beans to climb while thesquash acted as a thick living mulch that wasreputed to be impenetrable enough to deterraccoons.
Tradition says that pumpkins grown forcarving should be planted on Good Friday toallow them to acquire the power to combatevil spirits roaming on Halloween. But anothertradition says pumpkin should be planted ina fruitful sign, which in our area would beTaurus (May).
Since Good Friday falls sometimes in April(that’s Aries, a barren sign), gardeners hereusually need to plant in the favourable temper-atures of May and take their chances with evilspirits.

Lincoln MKZ Hybrid offers luxury and fuel economy
The new MKZ Hybrid isnot just the first hybridproduced by Lincoln; it’s
the most fuel-efficient luxurysedan you can buy in Canada.
The MKZ Hybrid advancestechnology to a higher level inmany, many ways, but I stillhave some suggested improve-ments (more on that later).My fuel economy calculationsalso didn’t quite match theofficial figures put out byNatural Resources Canada,yet overall the MKZ Hybridturned out to be a very frugalfuel-user.
Certainly not your old-fashioned big, heavy, chrome-decked Lincoln, the MKZ is anew and more dynamic direc-tion for Lincoln, while stillappealing to traditional buy-ers. The gas engine versionof the Lincoln MKZ receiveda complete update last year,with the hybrid added thisyear. Based on the sameplatform as Ford’s mid-sizedfamily sedan, the Fusion,the MKZ is available in bothfront-drive and all-wheel-drivegas versions, as well as thehybrid.
In its pure electric mode,without the gas engine, theMKZ Hybrid can reach speedsof up to 75 km/h. Yet, it’s thefluid and flawless way thatthis hybrid system operates,as it dances between powersources and power recovery,that’s most impressive.
The gasoline engine is anAtkinson cycle version of the2.5-litre four-cylinder andit’s paired with a permanent-magnet AC electric motor andan electronically controlledcontinuously variable (e-CVT)transmission. While more fuelefficient than a conventionalfour-stroke engine, at lowengine speeds an Atkinsoncycle engine produces less
torque. That, however, is not aproblem in a hybrid system asthe torque-rich electric motorfills in as a perfect powerpartner.
Taking full advantage ofthe best qualities of eachpower source is key to opti-mal hybrid performance, as isthe smooth transfer betweenthem. Lincoln has done amasterful job in both areas inthe MKZ Hybrid.
The MKZ Hybrid recoversalmost 94 per cent of energywhen full regenerative brak-ing is used. It’s actually abrake-by-wire system withsimulated brake actuation atthe brake pedal and the pedalfeel is just like a conventionalbraking system. The hybridis priced the same as the all-wheel-drive version of theMKZ (at $42,200), and thefront-drive version is $38,400.
This also presents a veryclear, and interesting, cash,green or performance choicefor buyers.
THE LOOKSLooking like a scaled-down
version of Lincoln’s flagshipfull-sized luxury sedan, theMKS, the MKZ offers many ofthe features and capabilitiesof the top-line Lincoln sedan,albeit in a more compact,fuel-efficient and affordablepackage. As you’d expect, ithas iconic Lincoln designcues, including the split-winggrill and the Lincoln starprominent front and back andon the front quarter panels.
And yes, there’s chrome— on the door handles, foglamp bezels, mouldings, mir-rors and exhaust tips, but it’scertainly not garish. My testMKZ came with a 17-inchchrome wheel option pack-age ($1,100) that looked verysharp, enhancing the overallappearance.
THE INSIDEThe dark grey (Bridge of
Weir) leather upholstery wastrimmed with brown pip-ing. A little different, butmy wife (whom I rely on insuch matters) thought it wasboth “bold and stylish.” Thefront seats also came with abuilt-in heating and coolingfeature for both the seatbackand cushion. And somethingI’ve absolutely no hesitationendorsing is the optional($1,000) THX audio system,a 14-speaker surround soundsystem that was, in a word,awesome. On the other hand,the hybrid’s trunk is on thesmall side.
The tilt/telescopic steeringwheel’s manual adjustmentsalso seemed out of place ina luxury class vehicle. Poweradjustments would be morein line with buyer expecta-tions. On a positive note, the110-volt outlet in the rear ofthe centre console is a greatfeature and those wood trim Submitted photo
The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient luxury sedan you can buy in Canada.It also represents a new and more dynamic direction for Lincoln.

New Lincoln MKZ Hybrid ‘an excellent touring sedan’pieces that decorate the cabin— they are real wood.
SAFETYIn addition to the stan-
dard six airbags in the gasengine MKZ, the hybridedition comes with an extraairbag for the driver’s knees.Another unique safety featureis a crash alert system thatactivates the hazard warninglights and sounds the hornif an airbag is deployed or aseatbelt pretensioner is acti-vated. Split-view side mirrorsthat provide additional “blindspot” viewing coverage are anew standard feature. My testcar came with the optionalelectronic “blind spot” warn-ing system.
THE DRIVEThe white and chrome
Lincoln looked completelyat home in the Okanagan.Getting there from the coastinvolves scaling the formid-able high-altitude CoquihallaHighway. Not a problemfor this hybrid — the MKZhandled the seemingly end-less climb to the summit withsurprising verve. While fueleconomy took a beating get-ting to the summit, slippingthe shift lever into “L” uncov-ered another hybrid virtue:regenerative brake. The equal-ly steep decent can chew upand overheat brakes, as manyhave discovered. The “L” pos-ition’s full regenerative brake(i.e. full battery charge/no fueluse) was enough to maintaina controlled downhill speedwith only occasional brakepedal applications. Lowermaintenance cost is anotherbenefit to hybrid ownership.
I drove at my usual levelof gusto, without making aconscious effort to conservefuel. Impressively, fuel econ-omy still averaged just under7.0 L/100 km (about 41 mpg).While touring around theKelowna district, its instantfuel usage readout was sig-nificantly better, typically wellunder 6.0L/100 km (closeto 50 mpg). I had travelledalmost 750 km before myfirst stop for fuel and reckonthere was still another 200km (of driving) in the tank tocompletely empty. Hybrid fuelsavings are far more dramaticin an urban setting, where ituses the electric motor more.The MKZ Hybrid takes it astep further and will start up(which can be completelysilent) and run for an extend-ed distance, purely on elec-trical power. The gas engineonly kicks in if you need extrapower. Visuals on the instru-ment panel also try to coaxyou into driving in an eco-friendly fashion. According toLincoln, by the time a typicaldriver earns all five of those(digital) flowers, he or she has
saved almost 1,900 litres ofgasoline and two tons of CO2.
THE SCOREA state-of-the-art drive
system gives the LincolnMKZ Hybrid outstanding fuel
economy.This car is also fun to drive
and is an excellent touringsedan.

Keep kids safethis Halloween
Each year, BC Children’s Hospital and the BC AmbulanceService (BCAS) attend to many preventable injuries involvingcars and trick-or-treaters, burns from fireworks, falls, chokingand cuts from pumpkin-carving.
This year, BC Children’s and BCAS are partnering to providetips for parents to keep little ghosts and goblins safe and happythis time of year.
“Kids are excited at Halloween. There is lots of nervousenergy and lots of activities happening, so parents and kids canbe easily distracted,” says Dr. Shelina Babul, associate directorand sports injury specialist, BC Injury and Research PreventionUnit at BC Children’s.
“It only takes a few seconds for an injury to occur, but bythinking ahead you can safeguard your kids and enjoy the dayand evening.”
Babul also recommends that parents encourage older kids topay particular attention when crossing roads or driveways whiletrick-or-treating.
“When kids are texting or listening to music, they may notsee or hear a motorist on the road, a car backing out of a drive-way, or any other potential hazard,” she said.
BC Children’s Hospital and the BCAS offer these safety tips:BE SEEN — Parents and children should wear bright cos-
tumes or clothing made of flame-resistant material with reflect-ive tape, or carry light sticks or a flashlight; it’s important thatmotorists can see you clearly. Make eye contact with motorists.Consider trick-or-treating in a group and staying together.Don’t forget to: stop, look left, right and left again before cross-ing the street. Always cross the street at corners and crosswalks.If there isn’t a sidewalk, walk beside the road or street facingtraffic.
CAN YOU SEE CLEARLY? — Face painting is often a saferchoice for trick-or-treaters than a mask, which can obscurevision. Stay on sidewalks and driveways and off of lawns andgardens. Go up one side of the street and down the other ratherthan crossing the street between houses. Avoid alleys, parkinglots, wooded areas and vacant lots.
DRESS APPROPRIATELY — To prevent falls, make sure yourchild’s costume fits well and it isn’t too long or has too muchloose fabric. Dress for the weather, so your child and you arecomfortable and warm.
ADULT SUPERVISION — Young children should always havea responsible adult escorting them door-to-door on Halloweennight. Skip past houses that don’t have their porch lights on,and avoid animals that are unfamiliar.
PUMPKIN CARVING — Kids under six years of age shouldnot use knives or other sharp instruments to carve pumpkins.Instead, they can be creative and draw a face on the pumpkin,or dress it up with colourful fall leaves or other safe materials.Parents should use a flashlight or a light stick to light a pump-kin rather than a candle. Children are attracted to candles, butthey don’t understand flames are hot and can cause seriousharm.
CHECK TREATS THOROUGHLY — Parents and childrenshould make sure that all treats are checked by an adult beforeeating. Discard treats that aren’t in sealed packaging or looksuspicious. When in doubt, throw it out.
CHOKING — Choking occurs most frequently among chil-dren under two years of age, but can happen at any age. Do notgive children under five years of age popcorn, hard candy, nuts,or rubber balloons. When eating candy, parents should havechildren sit at a table since eating while playing, running, jump-ing or talking can lead to a choking episode. Parents and care-givers should learn what to do in a choking emergency, includ-ing the Choking Rescue Procedure (Heimlich Manoeuvre),because the correct response can save a child’s life. Informationis available through HealthLink BC at www.healthlinkbc.ca/kb/content/special/chkng.html#aa111963.
FIREWORK SAFETY — To be at your safest, plan family funand activities that don’t include fireworks. Children shouldnever hold lit fireworks — a sparkler can burn as hot as 700degrees C and will not go out even when doused in water.Parents should check with their municipality or district asfireworks may be banned or specific permits may be required(in the Tri-Cities, both Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam requirepermits). If you insist on using fireworks, only purchase themfrom a reliable source, and always read and follow the labeldirections. Thirty percent of injuries are caused by illegal orhomemade fireworks. Keep water or appropriate fire extin-guisher nearby when lighting fireworks. Parents and older chil-dren should watch the video “Just a firework, two buddies and abomb” available through the BC Professional Fire Fighters BurnFund website at www.burnfund.org/our_programs/burn_educa-tion/2-BAAB.php.
SLOW DOWN AND WATCH FOR PEDESTRIANS — Motoristsare advised to slow down and drive with extra caution thisHalloween. Children are easily distracted and difficult to see indark costumes, particularly if they run out between parked cars. 10

Use pomegranate seeds to liven up salads, saucesWhat could be more
appealing to the eyesand the appetite than
the appearance of a pom-egranate that has just beenpulled apart?
The sight of the large clus-ter of seeds glistening like acrimson beehive makes mymouth water. The taste ofthese juicy tidbits that explodewith flavour is just the begin-ning of the benefits to eatingthis wonderful fruit.
The name pomegranate isderived from the Latin namegranatum, meaning “fruit ofmany seeds.” The leatheryskin and membrane of thisfruit are inedible, and there-fore the seeds are the onlypart that we consume.
Each small seed is encom-passed in a juice-filled casing,and both can easily be con-sumed together. Some opt todiscard the small inner seedafter robbing it of its juice,but this tedious task is notnecessary. Although theseinner seeds are slightly bitterin comparison to the juicethat surrounds them, they area great source of fibre.
Pomegranates are harvestedwhen they are fully mature,as they will not continue toripen afterwards on their own.They are grown in moderatelytropical climates, and it isbelieved that pomegranates
originated from the areas ofIran and Turkey.
When choosing a pom-egranate, make sure it isunblemished and bright red incolour. It should feel heavy forits size when picked up. Theycan be stored atroom temperaturefor a few days, butare best stored inthe refrigerator,where they canlast for up to threeweeks.
Although theseed casings aresomewhat dur-able, care shouldbe taken when preparing thisfruit for consumption. With asharp knife, cut just the skinoff from the top of the pom-egranate, where the crown islocated. Score the skin intofour sections vertically, beingcareful not to insert the bladeof the knife deeper than thethickness of the skin. Pull thepomegranate apart into twohalves and then into the foursections. Take care to damageas few of the seeds as possibleduring this procedure as thejuice will stain clothing veryeasily. Then gently release theseeds from their nestled clus-ters on the inner membranewith your fingers.
There are so many moreapplications for the use of
pomegranate seeds than justeating them on their own.They are a great addition tofruit salads, green salads,desserts and sauces, andmake a wonderful garnishfor almost any meal. Other
than providingfantastic flavour,the juice frompomegranates isvery nutritional.This is not onlydetermined fromtheir fair levelsof potassium andvitamin C, butmostly from theamount of anti-
oxidants they provide. Theirhigh levels of antioxidantshave been compared to that ofred wine, and are superior toother juices such as cranberryand blueberry.
If juicing pomegranates
sounds like a task you wouldrather not endure, pomegran-ate juice in its natural statecan be purchased in bottles atyour local supermarket.
The most widely knownusage of pomegranate juice isin grenadine. The main usageof this sweet syrup is in thepreparation of cocktail-typedrinks and some desserts.However, one look at theingredient list on the label ofa popular brand will make yourealize that it does not statepomegranate juice anywhere.Could it be part of the naturaland artificial flavour it doeslist as the fourth ingredient?
If you would rather have
grenadine that you knowcontains real pomegranatejuice, it can easily be madeat home. Macerate the seedsof two pomegranates withapproximately 1-½ cups ofwhite sugar. Cover and let sitfor 24 hours. Bring to a boil,simmer for a few minutes,and then strain through awire mesh strainer. Cover andrefrigerate.
Dear Chef Dez:“Since pomegranates are
only available fresh for ashort period of the year, is itOK to freeze them?”
Anne R.Langley
Dear Anne:Yes, but only the seeds.
Discard the skin and innermembrane, and put the seedsin a freezer bag into the freez-er where they will keep for atleast six months.

Sample the best B.C. wineson Nov. 5 in Port Moody
The Best of BC Wines Uncorked is takingplace on Saturday, Nov. 5 at the PortMoody City Hall Galleria.
This year a new feature is being added: apeople’s choice award where attendees will bevoting for their favourite Merlot, red and whitewine. Each category will produce a gold, silverand bronze medal. It’s a great way to add a bitof fun and friendly competition tothe event.
Speaking of competition, theline up of more than 30 winer-ies includes past favourites andnew participating wineries, suchas Black Hills, producers of cultfavourite Nota Bene; Fort Berens,Lillooet’s first winery; and Youngand Wyse, featuring the ex-wine-maker from Burrowing Owl.Other new notables include DirtyLaundry, Moon Curser and Ruby Blues.
In wine circles it’s well known that Tri-Cities residents are developing a reputation assavvy and educated wine consumers. Wineriesare lined up to participate and showcase theirwines at this gala, which raises funds for thePort Moody Art Centre Society. The very popu-lar and busy restaurant Browns Social Houseat Newport Village will provide samples of theirfavourite appetizers at the Galleria as patronssip and mingle to the live jazz selections ofChico & Tim.
Here are some pointers to maximize yourenjoyment of the event.
First, if you are planning to do quite a bit ofsampling, pre-arrange or find a way home thatdoes not involve driving — after all it’s a great
opportunity to have some fun.There will be more than 100 different sam-
ples available to taste, so don’t think you cansample all of them in one evening. The strategyis to pick out the wineries that feature winesthat appeal to you before you taste and thenvisit those tables that offer your favourites.
Pace yourself — it is not a race — and besure to eat the amazing appetizersthat the Browns staff will be pass-ing around the floor.
Use spittoons if you are plan-ning a lot of sampling. Wine prosspit out the wines after analyzingthem, so you can too.
When you receive your sample,please move to the side so otherattendees can also get a pour.
It is also important not to wearperfume, cologne or strong soap as
this will interfere with enjoyment of detectingthe delicate aromas and bouquets of these topquality wines.
Some of the wineries pouring will havetheir winemaker in attendance, so it is a greatopportunity to meet them and ask questions.
If you find wines that you have enjoyed,either write them down in your program orsnap a bottle shot with your cellphone or cam-era.

A new level, a new element and alot of hours on the ice.
It all added up to an incred-ible gold medal at the B.C. CoastRegional Fall Skate Fest inChilliwack last week for Coquitlam’sLarkyn Austman.
The 13-year-old figure skaterregistered two clean skates and wasrewarded with a 20-plus point mar-gin over her nearest rival to takethe novice ladies title.
Her long program score — 71.30— came with the addition of anoth-er triple to her routine, to the tangomusic of the Addams Family movie.
“I was really nervous going inbecause I was adding a new triple tomy program and I knew I had to tryit,” Larkyn said. “In the end I madeboth (triples).”
The Coquitlam Skating Clubathlete took first, while clubmateLarissa Horobec finished second.
The teen has been skating sincethe age of three-and-a-half, spurredon by the fact that the family’s sec-ond home is the local ice rink. MomHeather is her coach at CSC, whiledad Leonard is a hockey coach.
Eileen Murphy, who coaches atthe Connaught Skating Club, hashelped with Larkyn’s instructionover the years. She notes that theteen’s success is a product of hardwork.
“She’s very talented, hard work-ing and determined,” said Murphy.“She’s very good technically — it’sjust nice to see her doing well atthis age.”
It was her third win of the year.“To this date it certainly was
her best performance,” recalledher mom. “She took her time, shestayed focused and I think that’s thecalmest she’s been.”
The B.C. juvenile ladies cham-pion in 2010, Larkyn aims to con-tinue making a splash in the novicedivision.
“It feels really good to winbecause now I know that I can dothis at the Super Series (B.C. sec-tionals, Nov. 10-13) in Kelowna andif I do it, I can go to the WesternChallenge (Nov. 30 to Dec. 4 inRegina),” said Larkyn.
Here are more results fromthe B.C. Coast Regional FallSkate Fest: GIRLS, Novice – 1st

At Baseball Canada’s own website, a pre-tournament poll asked visitors where theythought the Canadian men’s team would fin-ish at the Pan Am Games in Mexico.
Just over 35 per cent felt they’d peak at theright time, but peak they did.
Canada collected the gold medal Tuesdaynight when it upset the United States 2-1 inthe baseball final.
A two-run rally in the top of the sixth wasall the offence the baseball team needed topull off the upset in Guadalajara.
“The last three innings felt like it was overin a blink of an eye,” said Coquitlam nativeShawn Bowman, the team’s starting thirdbaseman. “I found myself looking up at thescoreboard about 20 times just to see if it wasreal.”
Behind a strong six-plus innings from start-er Andrew Albers, who struck out eight andallowed six hits, Canada erased an early 1-0deficit when Vancouver’s Jimmy Van Ostranddelivered a two-out, two-run double in the topof the sixth to take the lead.
Canada’s roster also included Port Moodyoutfielder Michael Crouse.
To advance to the final Canada bestedMexico 5-3 on Monday, with Bowman going 2-for-5 and driving in a run. In the other semi-final, the U.S. shocked 10-time defending PanAm champion Cuba 12-10.
“Cuba is one of the best teams I’ve playedagainst,” Crouse, 20, said. “They’ve got guyson their roster who could be in the majors…Coming to the park (Monday) and seeing theU.S. beat Cuba really got us pumped.”
Bowman, who played the past season withthe Atlanta Braves’ Triple-A Gwinnett farmteam, said besides having some lucky bounces,the main factor in Canada’s victory was justhow much the team believed it could do it.
“We go into every game knowing we weregoing to win, no matter who’s on the otherside,” the 26-year-old infielder said. “It didn’tmatter who. It could have been the TexasRangers and we would have had that samebelief.”
Crouse, who just completed his third fullseason in the Toronto Blue Jays farm system,said the energy and atmosphere at the parkduring the whole tournament was incredible.
“It was just a great atmosphere, just a com-pletely different kind in international ball,” he

The Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves have traded inthat tired three-game losinghabit for a fresh, upliftingthree-game winning streak.
The Vancouver MetroSoccer League squad rackedup a third-straight victory,blanking Rovers United 2-0in Surrey on Saturday.
Coquitlam, whichimproved to 3-1-3, got ahuge save from MatthewBird early in the second halfthat sparked a four-playeroffensive surge.
Sang Yoon Hwang’slow shot capped off a playthat began with DomDelli Santi’s dash up themiddle, where he fed FahimKarmali, who sent KiaMirzahossein down the leftflank with a sharp pass.
Mirzahossein then gotthe ball to Hwang for thegame’s first marker.
The score stayed thatway until late, when AlfredoValente’s corner kick washeaded home by Hwang.
One of the turning pointscame at a moment where itcould have gone the otherway. Injuries to veteranRussel Huggon and JulesChopin created an opportu-nity for young midfieldersDelli Santi and Karmali— and the pair ran with it.
“I think the key to thewin was how well weplayed as a whole squad,”remarked Wolves headcoach Carlo Corazzin. “Welost two players to injuryvery early in the game andtwo came off the bench andwe didn’t miss a beat.”
The squad also gotsolid work from defend-ers Connor Ayre, SamCoulter, Kyle Jones andMirzahossein.
“Yes, we are very youngin some areas, but we alsohave a few very importantexperienced guys who reallyled by example in the firstfew weeks when we didn’tget the results that weprobably deserved,” notedCorazzin.
Coquitlam’s next testcomes Tuesday, 8:30 p.m.at Town Centre’s Cunningsfield against ICST.
In Fraser Valley PremierSoccer League play, thefirst-place PoCo FC toppedPeace Arch 4-1, while thePort Moody Gunners fell 3-0 to Langley United.

The possibility of a return to Portland justgot slimmer for Port Moody’s Ryan Johansen.
The 19-year-old centre deposited hisfirst-ever goal as a member ofthe National Hockey League’sColumbus Bluejackets onTuesday — and as goals come, itcouldn’t have been bigger.
Johansen’s bankshot frombehind the net midway throughthe first period stood up as thewinner in a 4-1 victory over theDetroit Red Wings. It also gaveColumbus its first win of the2011-12 season.
“That was definitely one of thebest feelings in my life so far,” Johansen toldThe NOW.
A rough start to the season for the teamand a slow immersion into the Jackets’ line-up turned up the heat for the hockey cluband its No. 1 prospect.
Going 0-7-1 may have forced Columbushead coach Scott Arniel to alter his initialplan to ease the six-foot-three forward intofourth- or third-line duty.
But as the fourth overall pick in the NHL’sEntry Draft in 2010, the expectations remain
high for the talented forward.Although the NHL freshman has played
just six of the club’s first nine games, he hasclimbed up the depth chart from the initialmeagre fourth-line minutes.
He made his debut in Columbus’ Oct.7 season opener, a 3-2 loss to Nashville.
Johansen logged 8:42 of ice time.He picked up his first penalty
Oct. 18 against Dallas, whistledfor goaltender interference. LastSaturday in Ottawa, Johansendrew his first point — an assiston Kris Russell’s snap shot.
A few days later in their nextgame, Johansen lined up withR.J. Umberger and AntoineVermette for the opening faceoffagainst the 5-1-0 Red Wings— and produced a goal just 21
seconds into the contest.He picked up an assist on Umberger’s
marker that gave the Jackets a quick 1-0lead.Detroit would tie it up a few minuteslater, but Johansen banked his power-play tally behind Ty Conkin at 8:56 to putColumbus ahead for good.
“I saw the Detroit defencemen were outfront and (Columbus point man GrantClitsome) took a shot that went wide and Isaw the goalie out of position, so I tried tobank it in. It felt great,” said Johansen.
Being a game-day scratch a couple oftimes was a new situation for the powerforward who starred with Canada’s juniornational team at the 2011 World Juniorchampionships.
“It’s always tough when you’re not in thelineup but I had to take it in stride and justpush the pace more and keep working,” hesaid.
Johansen said the jump to playing in theNHL hasn’t seen an increase in pressure.
“I wouldn’t say there’s a lot of pressure forthat. There’s always pressure to win and pres-sure to play better, but it’s reasonable.”
And while he could still be shipped backto Portland of the Western Hockey Leaguewhere he was among the top-10 scorers lastyear, Johansen said he’s focusing on makingall the adjustments necessary to earn his spoton the everyday roster.
“I think the biggest adjustment for me isjust getting up to the NHL level. It’s alwaystough for new guys to make that adjust-ment,” said Johansen. “You’ve got to learn allthe players, as a new guy. It’s a little differentfrom being a second-year junior where youknow all the players, how they play.”
NHL rules stipulate that an NHL team hasnine games to evaluate an under-20 fresh-man before returning him to his junior cluband retaining his entry level contract statusfor the next season.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Oct. 30 - Nov. 5, 2011★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: Mysteries, depthsdraw you all week. Your life faces great change from2011-2018. Each November deepens or enhancesthat change, is a kind of pipeline to financial,sexual, health and lifestyle commitments and events– sort of an underground river to all that change. Ifyou let this river dry up (reject intimacy?) or flood(debts?) then the ground above – your daily life– grows less stable. This week your romantic andcultural sensitivities increase. Love and intimacycould blossom, especially Wednesday/Thursday. Beambitious Sunday-Tuesday. Contemplate, researchlate week.Taurus April 20-May 20: Relationships consumeyour time now. Be diplomatic, yet eager. Opportunitieswill increase; so might competition and opposition.You’re a natural peacemaker and co-operator: be sonow. Others see you as a source of luck, of income (orsimply as a lucky person) this year (June 2011-June2012). You have the money touch, so form investmentpartnerships, or otherwise share. An inheritance orgood investments await you. If single, prepare for asensual affair. Sunday-Tuesday brings wisdom, gentlelove, intellectual success. Be ambitious midweek.Happiness, popularity Friday/Saturday!Gemini May 21-June 20: This week is filled withwork and minor health concerns. Dress sensibly, eatnutritiously and get solid rest. Your drudgery will berelieved by a fresh stream of opportunities – newfaces, new possible relationships, public dealings,fame, relocation. These are small, but they’ll grow.(Speaking of relocation, if you plan on changing yourresidence, move in before Nov. 10, or after July 3,2012; otherwise, you’ll “imprint” domestic frictionon the new abode.) Sunday-Tuesday is sexy, but youcan be fooled in sex and money. Love’s truth swellsmidweek. Be ambitious Friday on.
Cancer June 21-July 22: Beware deception(from self or others) about love, creative projects,sex and finances/investments, Sunday to Tuesday.Otherwise, these three days flow easily and bringexciting meetings and opportunities. Monetary,sexual, lifestyle and health changes come Tuesdayeve through Thursday. Look deep, dig deep. Talk,news comes about work – but by the time you reachthe major chores, late November, all will be changed,reconsidered. So tackle chores now, or leave themalone, but don’t plan them. Sweet love, wisdom,far travel and intellectual pursuits succeed Friday/Saturday.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Be slow, thoughtful. Lookafter your security, your foundations, home, family,real estate, garden, nutrition, rather than turn yourgaze upward to ambitious heights. These areas mightworry or mildly deceive you before Wednesday, butgenerally you’ll succeed in them, especially if youmarch ahead with a work-like effort. Wednesdaybrings two romantic, speculative, or creative notions,like ribbons in a breeze. They will grow “solid” withina month. (An old flame might be on the horizon, someweeks away. Exciting meetings mid-week. Depths,investments, intimacy thrive Friday onward.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Communications, travel,paperwork, details, errands and casual acquaintancesfill the weeks ahead. Be curious, read, talk. One ortwo mild relationship “disjunctions” or illusionsoccur Sunday to Tuesday, but this/these are the lasttrailing tendrils of a disjointed 15 years. The futureholds meaningful – mysterious but meaningful– relationships. Tackle chores midweek. Beneficialrelationships – exciting meetings – arise Friday/Saturday. This is not an overwhelmingly importanttime – yet. A major eight-month trend will soon bringlife-altering sexual and/or financial events/urges.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Chase money – buy/sell, seek new clients, ask for a pay raise, workovertime, etc. A sensual relationship tempts.Sunday to Tuesday turns your attention to home,kids, security, real estate. A bit of deception fillsmoney zones, so don’t contract for home repairs,etc., these few days. Romantic, creative notionsflow past you Tuesday eve through Thursday: ifyou talk, meet and greet, travel, you could meetsomeone very interesting! You remain popular thisweek and next, but soon a very different eight-month relationship phase starts. Tackle chores andhealth affairs Friday/Saturday.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your energy, magnetismand effectiveness are tops – charge forth, startimportant projects, see and be seen, impress people!A slowdown will exist Nov, 23 to Dec. 13, so begineither short projects that can be completed beforethen, or quite long ones which you can “pick up”again in mid-December. Bosses and VIPs remainshort-tempered, but this lasts less than two weeks.After that, you start eight months of “fun work” – andsocializing with co-workers. Beware a bit of (self?)deception in home, realty and similar zones Sundayto Tuesday. Romance, Friday/Saturday!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Settle down, rest,recuperate, contemplate your life and your plans forthe future. You might, before 2011 ends, return to aplace or person you’ve known before. There couldbe a streak of ambition in this. The weeks ahead area good time to prepare for this, if you know whatthis place/person is. Early week is a bit deceptiveor illusionary regarding money or “being trapped”– your worries are overblown. Read, write and talkmid-week. Settle into home, family, property mattersFriday/Saturday. Despite weariness, your charm andcommunication gifts rise nicely. Avoid lawsuits.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Your hopes, popularityand cheer keep rising. Life’s easy and friendly! Yourenergy and charisma shine Sunday to Tuesday – startimportant projects, but keep an eye on the mediumfuture: a slow-down will occur Nov. 23 to Dec. 13. Awish could come true. The private or secret side ofyour life begins to grow stronger – but only in a smallway – hearing secrets, doing research, heightenedintuition, a mild spiritual leaning. Chase money or shopmid-week. (Buy hi-tech late Wednesday.) Talk, travel,casual acquaintances fill Friday/Saturday – Friday’sbest for contacts.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Be ambitious all week.Your social life is starting to perk up – calls, messagesand invites come – maybe not big ones, but niceones. A “friend” you were once sweet on might returnin a month or so – the weeks ahead might give youpreliminary clues. Resolve now to be honest, moral, asa major sexual temptation might loom on the horizonalso (mid-November to next June). Retreat, plan, restup Sunday to Tuesday. Hold “information” talks withhigher-ups. (Gather, don’t disseminate.) Your charismaand energy soar Tuesday eve to Thursday: start things,be seen. Chase money Friday/Saturday.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The accent lies onculture, social rituals, intellectual pursuits, far traveland international affairs. This is a mellow, sweetweek. Social delights, popularity, optimism and wishfulfillment mark Sunday to Tuesday. (However, theseare not good days to pursue a marital or businessrelationship, as you could be dealing from weakness,or be fooled.) Retreat Tuesday eve through Thursday:all’s well, but your energy needs re-stoking. Plan,contemplate, meditate. Your charisma and vigour risestrongly Friday/Saturday – love could be in the air. (Youdon’t notice it, but he/she does.)
