Sam [email protected] isnt just a Celtic tradition brought

over through Irish immigration, transforminginto a day when the veil between the spiritualworld and our physical plane is the thinnest, thusprompting children and adults alike to don cos-tumes to scare away those monsters who wouldseek to harm us. Its also a time for laughs.Because hey, if you cant laugh at monsters,

then they win the battle. Dont let them win.Port Coquitlams Second Storey Theatre is

fighting the good fight with its third-annualVamprov show, an improvised production withthe simple premise of humans vs vampires.But catch this, the show changes every night.Why? Because so do the audience members, andits ultimately them who decide the fate of theshow.Its a lot of fun to be an audience member

John [email protected] ad hoc group of about 10

people staged a protest outside ofPort Coquitlams social assistanceoffice Wednesday, demanding theprovince increase child support pay-ments for people with disabilities.Organized by ACORN short

for Association of CommunityOrganizations for Reform Now the protesters spent about 30 min-utes chanting slogans and repeat-edly telephoning the offices of prov-incial ministers asking for change.We are here to demonstrate to

the ministry of social developmentthat there are people who needmore for their disability rate, saidACORN spokesperson Tom Page.Its been inadequate for well overa decade now and its just gettingworse. Prices are going up in hous-ing, clothing, everything.People living with disabilities

receive up to $900 amonth from the

province, while ACORN is demand-ing that number be topped up to$1,200.As well, the group wants chan-

ges to the way child support pay-ments are factored into a disabledpersons income. Child supportpayments are considered unearnedincome that thosewith disabilities mustaccess first beforebecoming eligiblefor income assist-ance. That money isthen deducted fromincome assistancepayments.A 30-year-old

single mother liv-ing with disabilities,Rachel Goodine, sug-gested she can onlyeat one meal a day inorder to provide forher three-year-old daughter. Andmost times those meals both forherself and her child are inad-equate, she said.I cannotkeep the$700permonth

in child support that my daughtersfather should be paying because Ihave to claim that amount monthlyto the disability office, which then

deducts it dollar-for-dollar off of mynext cheque, she said. Im not surewhy my daughter needs to be pun-ished because I have a disability.However, it doesnt appear change

will be coming any time soon.Social Development and Social

Innovation Minister Don McRaesent the group aletter dated Sept.27 suggesting theprovince is not in afinancial position toraise disability ratesat this time.He added no chan-

gesarebeingplannedfor child support pay-ments, but did notehis ministry has beentasked with produ-cing a white paperto address the issuesfacing people with

disabilities. No timeline was givenfor when that process will begin.The consultation process will be

an opportunity for the public andvarious stakeholders to share theirthoughts, opinions and recommen-dations on improving services topersons with disabilities, McRaesaid.

NEWSNOWJeremy [email protected] fate of Cory Sater, the driver accused of

killing two women at the side of the LougheedHighway in a hit-and run, is now in the handsof a judge.OnWednesday, both theCrownanddefence

in the trial made their closing arguments tothe court.But before the proceedings began, Sater

pleaded guilty to one of the charges againsthim, for hit-and-run.Sater was facing 10 charges related to

the crash that killed Charlene Reaveley andLorraine Cruz, including two counts each ofdangerous driving causing death, impaireddriving causing death, causing an accidentresulting in death and one count of failure tostop at an accident.Cruz had been driving with her boyfriend in

a Nissan Pathfinder just before 12:30 a.m. onFeb. 19, 2011, when the vehicle crashed nearLougheed Highway and Pitt River Road.The two got out of the car, while Reaveley,

her husband Dan and two friends stopped tohelp. As the group stood outside the Nissan, awhite Jeep Cherokee ran down both women.Reaveley and Cruz were killed instantly,

while Cruzs boyfriend Paulo Calimbahin wasseriously injured.As the trial, which began on Sept. 30, came

to a close, Crown reviewed its case against thedefendant.Crown counsel Chris McPherson suggested

Sater had spent the evening before the crashdrinking, which included a bar tab of $92 forsix rye and cokes and three shots.Crown suggested the testimony of four

employees at the Lougheed Bar & Grill, whoserved Sater that night, was key to establish-

ing the defendant was impaired.McPherson said staff cut Sater off at one

point in the evening, also noting they saw adramatic change in his behaviour over thethree hours in the bar, which Crown attrib-uted to alcohol.

All of the evidence shows he [Sater] wasimpaired, he said.It was also noted there was no blood test

for alcohol because Sater did not remain atthe scene.As for the dangerous driving charges,

Crown also said there was clear evidenceSater wasnt paying attention.McPherson pointed to the testimony of a

witness that said the white jeep ran a red lightat the intersection just prior to the collision.He said Sater made the decision to drink

and drive that cost the lives of two people andseriously injured a third.Court also heard that the Jeep struck the

Pathfinder vehicle at a speed of between 44km/h and 64 km/h.Saters lawyers didnt dispute that their cli-

ent was driving the Jeep, but suggested thereis a lack of evidence and reasonable doubtthat he was driving in a manner that was dan-gerous, or that he was impaired.In closing arguments, defence lawyer Rishi

Gill attempted to poke holes in the reliabilityof several Crown witnesses, including the barstaff at Lougheed Bar & Grill.He suggested the statements given to inves-

tigators by bar staff shortly after the incidentwere different than testimony at trial.In one instance, Gill said one server got the

time she served Sater incorrect.He also questioned how one server was able

to accurately assess the defendants level ofsobriety after stating she had interacted withhim for a fraction of a second.Gill then turned his attention to Crown wit-

ness Lloyd Smith, who was in the vehicle withSater at the time of the crash.Saters lawyer noted that Smith had said

the accused was driving fine and he wouldnthave gotten into the vehicle if he didnt thinkSater could drive correctly.Gill also pointed out that Smith testified

that Sater went through a green light, andnot a red, at the Pitt River intersection, as hasbeen suggested by Crown.He added the testimony and evidence given

by Smith matches up with that of the Crownsown crash experts.Gill also argued Sater was distracted by a

person on the road at the time, suggesting itwas one of the four people who stopped tohelp after the original crash.Everything that could have gone wrong

that day, did, he said.The judge is expected to render his verdict

Storey and an improviser himself, said hedoesnt want to scare people off, becauseaudience members are only involved as muchas they want to be and the theatre has a ser-ious no-bullying-the-audience clause.He also wants people to know the show isnt

meant to be ridiculously scary. Its over-the-top, fun and accessible for all ages.The thing is, its scary, but not too scary,

he said. My four-and-a-half-year-old niece came and sheloved it.Based on the humans vs.

vampires premise, the showinvolves the human teampicking a theme will theybe a group of nerds? Jocks?Hipsters? Once decided, theyget into character and face-offagainst the vampire team ina series of improv games.Once the show is over, the

audience chooses through theclassic applause-o-meter whichteam was the best.Second Storey is known throughout the

community as a go-to source for comedy. Thegroup puts on shows every week, includingfour to five this month for Vamprov alone.The group is open to anyone interested

in improv, and members offered wise wordsto those who might be thinking about whatimprov can do for them.

A lot of the people here are here becauseimprov is such a great tool you can use foranything in your life, Myers said.One of Second Storeys veteran actors,

Jennifer Pielak said its good to learn how toadapt and react, but improv is also aboutmorethan that.Its such a great tool for anyone because

you get to learn to listen in a different wayand react differently, she said. Its so power-ful. You have so much power when you learnabout yourself.

Second Storey offers classesto students at five high schoolsin the Tri-Cities, as well as any-one else interested, at their the-atre at 201-2550 ShaughnessySt.For more information visit

sstimprov.com or e-mail Pielakat [email protected],or Myers at [email protected] runs through

Saturday, Oct. 26, with showsrunning Friday and Saturdayevening. For the last weekendof the show, anyone wearing a

costume will be entered into a draw for ticketsto a 30-hour Improvathon.[People] should come see it because

I had like a tagline. Its the most hilarious,spooky I dont know. Its awesome, its sucha great show with huge committed charactersthat will knock you off your feet with howhuge they are, Myers said.

Vamprov showruns thisweekend

Policewarn residentsof fireworks bylawsJeremy [email protected] may be almost

a week away, but this comingweekend should see plenty ofspooky action.And that has local police

reminding people to staysafe, especially around fire-works.Port Moody police are

reminding the public of thecity bylaws if they do plan tohave a fireworks display orbuy some for kids.According to police, bylaws

prohibit the possession anduse of fireworks withoutwritten approval from thefire chief.It is illegal to directly or

indirectly sell, give or furnishto a person under the age of18 any fireworks or firecrack-ers.It is also illegal for any per-

son under 18 to possess fire-works for any reason.When we do encounter

youths and adults sometimes but usually its folks under

20 who are big into fireworks the city bylaws allow for apeace officer [to] seize fire-crackers or fireworks beingheld in violation of this bylawand dispose of them with-out compensation, said PortMoody police spokesmanConst. Luke van WinkelThe department noted its

important to get a licencefrom the fire chief. Its a $500fine for the illegal dischargeof fireworks on a street orpublic place.

Its a similar situa-tion for Halloween revel-lers in Coquitlam and PortCoquitlam.According to Coquitlam

Mounties, firecrackers can-not be used in public in eithercity.Fireworks are allowed on

private property with a per-mit from the municipalitysfire chief.But settings off fireworks

without a permit couldset you back $500 in PortCoquitlam and another $250in Coquitlam.Police also note that each

year during Halloween, aninflux of children and adultsend up in emergency roomsfor fireworks-related injuries.And on the big day this

Thursday, Coquitlam RCMP,auxiliary police, volunteers,bike patrols from the com-munity police station andbylaw officers will be out tomake sure residents are stay-ing safe.

Residents in Port Moody were likely awaremajor changes were on the way with thebuilding of the Evergreen Line, but one neigh-bourhood is finding out just how differentthings will be when the line starts running.Several dozen residents from the Klahanie

neighbourhood were at city council Tuesdayto express their anger and opposition overplans to elevate part of the Evergreen Line inthe city centre.At the centre of the concern is Evergreen

Line officials plan to elevate the line over theCPR tracks, starting west of Murray Street andlowering back down at the Inlet station.The guideway will be 650 metres (2,130

feet) long and nine metres (30 feet) high, notincluding the height of a train on the tracks.The portion of the line, which crosses

Pigeon and Suterbrook creeks, is be beingraised to cross the CPR tracks.But Klahanie resident Gil Biderman argued

the elevated line is going to ruin the privacyand landscape of the neighbourhood.We are upset, he told council, noting with

a train on the tracks, the height of the linecould be 15 metres (50 feet).He also suggested Evergreen Line officials

havent been completely truthful about theplans.Jen Dolsen, another Klahanie resident, said

residents feel duped by the Evergreen Linepeople, suggesting most residents only learn-ed about the plan in the last month.

She urged council to advocate on the resi-dents behalf to find a solution.We want your [council] support because

we feel like weve been screwed, Dolsensaid.We want to know youve got our back with

this.She said she knew the line would be noisy

when she moved to the neighbourhood, butsuggested residents have been misled.A meeting has been set up for Wednesday,

Nov. 13 between Klahanie residents andEvergreen Line officials.Mayor Mike Clay was frank in his response

to residents, noting the city can work with theEvergreen Line, but ultimately has no jurisdic-tion to make changes.Its [Evergreen Line] tearing the commun-

ity apart, and we get that, he said, adding henever wanted the line to go through MoodyCentre in the first place.But he also argued Evergreen Line officials

have been fairly consistent in saying the linewill have to be raised to cross the train tracks,adding there have been several open housesover the years regarding the design of theline.Coun. Rick Glumacmade a notice of motion

that the city ask the Evergreen project to com-mit to noise and visual mitigation in the areawhere the line is elevated and to work withthe city to make sure the measures are to thesatisfaction of residents.He said he is hopeful Evergreen Line offi-

cials will work with residents to do the right

In just over a year, millions ofBritish Columbians will be invitedback to the polls to elect localcouncils across B.C. and if itslike last time maybe one inthree will accept the invitation.Whats the B.C. governments pre-

scription to try and remedy this indiffer-ence? Not much. In its recently releasedwhite paper on local government elec-tion reform, the government proposessome legislative tinkering this winterand more consultation over the comingyears.But this isnt the time for the govern-

ment to be timid. Its a chance to bebold, a rare opportunity to strengthenand modernize local government.In the recent provincial election four

mayors and 10 councillors from 13 com-munities were elected to the legislature.While these MLAs can continue in bothjobs, thereby avoiding byelections, thesituation is far from ideal. Yet, the gov-ernment is silent on the issue.The government could overhaul the

rules regarding local councils holdingin-camera meetings. Again silent. Theycould have gotten ahead of the debateon amalgamation thats taking place insome regions. Again silent.Even when they get it right in the

white paper, they do so only to a point.Ending anonymous election adver-

tising is the right thing to do. But thegovernment needs to get a grip on whatconstitutes election advertising and atwhat point you need to register as athird-party advertiser.Their draft definition of election

advertising is far too broad, capturingvirtually all issue-based advertising inits wake. Rather than a definition thatacts as a chill on the ongoing work oforganizations, B.C. should chill out andrip a page from Ontarios playbook,which makes the distinction between

advertising that promotes or opposes acandidate and public policy advertisingthat doesnt.Under the proposed registration rules,

photocopy a brochure on housing andchances are you better register. Dontand risk going to jail. At the federallevel, a third party is only required toregister after having incurred electionadvertising expenses of $500.Then there are the two elephants in

the room: spending and donation caps.The government says its too late in

the day to introduce spending limits for2014. Balderdash.The 2010 Local Government Elections

Task Force recommended limits. Theyvebeen in place federally since 1974 andprovincially since 1995.Campaign teams have ample time to

adjust their plans if limits are adoptedduring the next session of the legisla-ture, since they would only apply toexpenses incurred after Oct. 1, 2014.Others claim that the disparity in the

population of towns and cities meansmore time is needed to consult. Thatargument doesnt hold water either.Provincially, the limit is $146,437 in

all 85 ridings, even though Stikine has13,219 registered voters and Surrey-Cloverdale has 51,811. At the federallevel, limits are set by taking the num-ber of voters in a riding into account, asother provinces do at the local level.Limits should apply to third parties as

well. When it comes to local electionsthird parties often spend far in excessof the existing provincial limit of $3,138per riding.In 2011, For a Better Sechelt popped

up to campaign against every candidateseeking re-election in that community.They spent $46,200 in a district with7,252 registered voters, nearly 15 timesthe provincial limit.And the governments continued

silence on contribution limits is deaf-ening. Last time out, Vancouver busi-nessman Rob Macdonald coughed up$960,000 for the NPA, a donation thatsingle-handedly demonstrates why a capon contributions is long overdue in B.C.Most Canadian cities already have

strict rules over who can give to a cam-paign and how much they can give. InMontreal the annual cap is $300, inToronto $2,500, in Winnipeg $750, andin Calgary $5,000.But at the end of the day, no matter

how well-intentioned the governmentsfirst round of reforms may be, theyare for the most part cosmeticin nature when contrasted against thepublics very real loss of confidence inlocal democracy. Without meaningfulelectoral finance reform including elec-tion spending and contribution limits,candidacy for local government will by and large remain the purviewof the affluent and well-connected.This was an opportunity to fix a bro-

ken system, to increase accessibility topublic office and to strengthen localdemocracy. Instead, British Columbiansare served up a dose of legislative pab-lum.Dermod Travis is the executive

director of IntegrityBC.

Its funny, but not in a ha ha way, that the less saypeople have in an election, the more likely they areto vote.More people turn out for federal elections, forexample, than provincial. But provincial govern-ments make more decisions that impact us directly, sincethey control key areas like health care and education.Thats not to say your vote doesnt count in Ottawa, butfederal politics touch our lives in a more distant way.Even closer to home than provincial politics, though, are

civic politics: city council and school board.These elections attract far fewer people, since many feel

theyre not as important as the big ones that get most ofthe attention.While zoning bylaws and potholes arent earth-shat-

tering issues, theyre really important if they affect yourneighbourhood.Turn on the nightly news or pick up a newspaper, and

youre bound to learn about people who said they didntknow the city was going to do something, whether itinvolves opening a homeless shelter, widening a road orrezoning a vacant piece of land for a housing development.Suddenly, local government matters.Tomorrow (Saturday, Oct. 26), Coquitlam residents have

a chance to choose two new councillors in a byelection,after former councillors Selina Robinson and Linda Reimerleft to serve as MLAs in Victoria.Eleven people are running for those two seats, and

since civic byelections have the lowest voter turnout of all usually in the five-per-cent range each vote counts forfar more than it would in any other kind of election.So visit our website to read profiles of the candidates,

then visit their websites to learn more. Make your pick andvote from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Details are on the citys website.

PROTECTRIVERVIEWWe are writing to express our

strong support for the elect-ed municipal leaders in BritishColumbia who recently endorseda resolution to reinstate theRiverviewfacilitiesandgroundsasa modern centre of excellence formental health care. The Union ofBC Municipalities undertook thisresolution because many of thebuildings on the Riverview Landswere recently closed even thoughthe province does not have suf-ficient alternative residences andfacilities. As a result, patients havebeen shuffled through a series oftemporary facilities or left to fendfor themselves, creating substan-tial challenges for families, policeand emergency rooms. To addressthis immediate need, the UBCMproposed a constructive, collabor-ative, compassionate solution toreinstate the Riverview facilitiesthat have been a pillar of supportto the provinces mental healthcare system.Surprisingly, Bev Gutray and

Marina Morrow (Tri-Cities NOW,Oct. 18) criticized this UBCMresolution that would immedi-ately contribute to these healthcare needs. Their criticism is mis-directed and misguided.

First, they misrepresented theUBCM resolution by equatingit with the idea that reinstatingRiverview would be the solutionto poverty and homelessness inB.C. Second, they claimed thathaving mental health care onthe Riverview lands has patientshidden away in institutions. Inthe history of asylum institutions,this negative evaluation may havebeen valid. However, for a numberof decades, Riverview has been asupportive, tranquil setting with avariety of residential and care pos-sibilities. Many patients and theirfamilies have found Riverview tobe a very valuable therapeuticplace of healing. For decades,the Riverview lands have been aneighbourhood of patients, fam-ily members, health care workers,staff and Tri-Cities residents. Justtwo weeks ago in the Tri-CitiesNOW (Riverview saved my life,Oct. 4), Peter Toth provided avery powerful personal testimonyabout the value of Riverview as asafe haven with inspiring, heal-ing grounds: What community-based program could assure suchsecurity, serenity and beauty?We urge our municipal lead-

ers to continue to work towardproviding an array of services formental health care, including thepossibility of a peaceful sanctuary

such as Riverview,which has beenvery beneficial for many patients.

N. Gillespie, PresidentRiverview Horticultural

Centre Society

In a letter to the editor I wroteto the NOW on Aug. 17, 2007, Iwarned that we better be vigilantto protect Riverview lands fromtheLiberal governmentwhenRichColeman was proposing 7,000market homes be built instead ofproviding the facilities we neededto treat the mentally ill roamingthe streets or languishing in jails.I have worked in mental health,the provincial criminal courts andfor the Vancouver police, so haveseen the plight of the mentally illfrom many angles.It has not gotten better but

worse because of a mentality thatif there is a piece of land that canbe developed, be damned for theill, their families coping with theproblem and the police spend-ing much of their budget to tryto contain it. The drug problemsbecause of self medicating andthe increased violence put usall at risk, besides costing us anunconscionable amount of extramoney.And what is the solution from

Premier Christy Clark? To say noway will her government con-

sider the proposals by the mayorsof the surrounding regions to pro-vide mental health facilities onthe land. Instead Riverview hasbeen left to waste away while thegovernment fosters its nefariousplans to develop the land mainlyfor other purposes. Its intrinsicvalue as an arboretum and greenspace would probably ultimatelydisappear.The people of this province, in a

mystifying way to me, voted againto elect this government, whichcontinues to take money out ofour pockets and not serve theneeds of its citizens. Isnt it timewe, alongwith ourmayors, foughtback and demanded Riverview bereinstated as a world-renownedmental health facility? When isenough for people to see throughthese self-serving plans that con-stantly ignore the plight of itsmost vulnerable? The mentally illare members of our community,our friends and our families. Itstime we stood up for them.Please wake up citizens, before

it is too late. As I urged in 2007,please write your representativesand insist Riverview be developedas a modern facility for the needsof which it was intended for thelast 100 years.

Meetingplanned forNov. 13thing, adding its also anopportunity for them to showthey can do mitigation workto satisfy residents.Amanda Farrell, the

Evergreen Lines project dir-ector, told the Tri-Cities NOWon Thursday the elevatedguideway has been in theplans since 2009.

She said a minor changewas made to raise the eleva-tion to nine metres (30 feet)from eight metres (26 feet).The changes were made

out of security concerns fromKoKos Activity Centre on St.Johns Street.Farrell did note the

Evergreen Line group is work-ing on details of landscap-ing and noise mitigation that

officials expect to present atthe Nov. 13 meeting.Large and complex pro-

jects do have impacts and weare committed to workingwith residents and commun-ities to address, in this case,visual and noise concerns,she said, adding Evergreenofficials have held 40 meet-ings with community groups,residents and businesses in

Port Moody since 2009.But when asked if changes

could still be made to theconstruction design, Farrellindicated that would not bepossible.Its too late for us to

change the alignment itself,she said.However, there are things

we can do to address visualand noise concerns.

Sundays sunny forecast is the bait GarryElgear is hoping to use to net hundreds ofvolunteers to lend a hand in cleaning up theCoquitlam River.The Riverside Fly & Tackle owner is the

lead organizer of a yearly cleanup of the localwaterway, and this seasons task runs Sundayfrom 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.Participants will meet at Elgears shop, at

2847 Shaughnessy St. in PoCo, before makingtheir way throughout the Coquitlam Riverwatershed, although the focus will be oncleaning the lower reaches of the waterway.The No. 1 reason that were focusing on

the lower reaches is because its a lot dirtier,he said.Theres a lot of homeless people down

there, so basically were going to be cleaningup a lot of tent cities. Were not going to bedisturbing the homeless, though.Few things surprise Elgear as he and others

make the yearly trek: cleanup crews havepulled everything from toilets to safes out ofthe river in the 13 years Elgear has organizedthe event.Elgears also hoping the event will help

change the behaviour of local fishermen justas much as any other group using the river.Recently, one of his employees pets mis-takenly ate a fish hook left on the river bankthat ended up costing the pet owner $1,500in vet bills.Even fishermen canbe terrible about clean-

ing up after themselves, he said. It can get abit discouraging. But after the day is over and

youre giving high fives to people for helpingout, the feeling of accomplishment that youget with a lot of the other people is worth it.Youre making friends on the river and theresa good sense of camaraderie.And as in years past, Elgear will entice

prospective participants by offering a seriesof prizes: a flat screen TV, rods, reels and freefly-casting lessons will be handed out as prizedraws during the day.Even when my four-year-old daughter

sees garbage, she is picking it up, he said.Thats what my dad taught me and I know

hes proud of me for doing this. Now Improud of my daughter, so its like these lessonskeep getting passed down.Even if you can inspire just a few people,

thats all that matters.For more information, or to get involved in

Sundays cleanup, log on to www.rsfat.com orcall 604-944-2479.

Better Business Bureau has Halloween tipsAre you shopping for Halloween costumes

and accessories? The Better Business Bureauof Mainland BC offers tips to make sure yourpurchases dont come back to haunt you:

Scare up some information on thecompany. Many seasonal stores are run byreputable retailers who take advantage ofshort-term leases on vacant space to set uptemporary stores to augment their permanentspace, but other shops may be in and out ina matter of weeks. While it is always good to

check out a shops BBB Business Review atwww.mbc.bbb.org, some seasonal businesseschange their name from one year to the nextas a way of disguising a poor track record. Askaround and know with whom youre doingbusiness before getting tricked. Verify thephysical location of a business and its phonenumber.

Ask before finding out about shock-ing return policies. Find out if the productis returnable or a final sale. Ask if there are

any conditions on the return as some itemslike costumes may not be returnable.

Inspect the product before buying.Look for any imperfections and try on thecostume. If you are buying a pricey gladiatoroutfit, you might want to make sure you donthave a cod-piece fail.

Keep documentation and pay bycredit card. Receipts are needed for mostrefunds and exchanges, so keep track of them.

If a company suddenly closes and you havenon-delivery of goods, you may have somerecourse through your credit card provider.

When purchasing costumes online,do it securely. Check a sites securitysettings. If the site is secure, its URL (webaddress) should start with https://. You alsomay see a small picture of a closed lock in thelower right corner of the screen. Confirm thefinal price with shipping and handling, andwhen you should expect to receive the item.

When turn signals gohaywire

Dear Tom and Ray:I have a 2006 Dodge

Durango with 118,000 miles.Recently, the turn signals havedeveloped a mind of their own.I turn on the left turn signal,and after faking me out byblinking left, it will, of its ownaccord, start blinking right,even though the signal handlestays in the left turn position.It does not do this all the time,but its getting more frequent.Of course, it does not do thiswhen I take it to my mech-anic, who says he has to seeit to fix it. The hazard lightsdo the same. After initiallyworking as designed, they willgo haywire, like shorted-outChristmas lights, and blinkany which way.

Dennis

RAY:Well, that soundsfestive, Dennis.TOM: Im glad theres

something to cheer you up,because were not going tomake you happy.RAY: Unfortunately, while

most cars use a $25 flashermodule to control the dir-ectional and hazard lights,this particular model usesa microcomputer under thefuse box called a front con-trol module (FCM).TOM:Why is that bad

news? The Dodge dealer getsabout $700 for one of thesepuppies.RAY: If you have a dealer

who is kind-hearted, sweet-natured and susceptible tothe smell of warm brownies(which youll arrive carry-ing), you can try to get himto work with you. Ask himif hed be willing to install anew FCM as a test to see ifthat solves the problem.TOM: It simply plugs in,

so installation is not a bigdeal. If it fixes the problem,everyones happy. Well,except you, since youre out$700. But at least youvefixed your truck.RAY: But if the FCM

doesnt fix it, a willing dealercan simply swap your old oneback in and you guys can tryanother solution.TOM:With electronic

parts like these, theres noharm in testing one in a carand, if it doesnt solve theproblem, putting it back onthe shelf for another custom-er. The part still will functionas new.RAY: Less likely to be

causing the problem but justas easy to test is the bodycontrol module, another

microcomputer involved inall kinds of lighting, plus

door locks, electric windowsand ventilation functions.

TOM: But if your dealer

wont work with you to testthe modules, that makesthings a lot harder. Withoutmore evidence, I, person-ally, wouldnt start by buy-ing replacement modules.Theyre a lot of money. Andif you spend $700 on a blackbox and it turns out your oldblack box was perfectly fine,youd understandably be bentout of shape.RAY: So I think if I had

to lay out my own money totry something, Id probablytry the multifunction switchfirst.TOM: The multifunction

switch is the stalk on the leftside of the steering columnthat you push up and downto engage your turn signals.Unlike the computerizedmodules, the switch has mov-ing parts, which we knowwear out over time.RAY: A new one will

cost you about 300 bucks,installed. The dealershipwhere we get our Dodge

parts sells quite a few ofthem, so perhaps thatswhats causing the problem.TOM: And by the way,

part sales histories can helpyou make better-educatedguesses about stuff like this.If you ask your dealers partsguy if they sell a lot of BCMsfor this car and he says theynever sell them, thats a cluethat they generally dont gobad, and thats probably notyour issue.RAY: If he says they sell

15 a week, you may be ontosomething. We wish you thebest of luck, Dennis! Andwhile youre working on it,use your hand signals.

MORREY NISSAN OF COQUITLAM2710 Lougheed Hwy, Port Coquitlam, BC

Tel: (604) 464-9291 www.morrey.coquitlam.nissan.ca

While Halloween is oneof the most festive nights ofthe year for children it alsoranks among the most dan-gerous for young pedestrians.To help promote safety onthis spooky and fun-filledevening, there are steps thatmotorists should take to pre-vent unwanted scares on theroad.By performing a quick

check of your vehicle and tak-ing extra precautions whendriving through neighbour-hoods, you can help makesure any frights are reservedfor the holiday, not for theroad, according to represent-atives from the AutomotiveIndustries Association (AIA)of Canada, through its BeCar Care Aware (BCCA) pro-gram.By practising cautious

driving and performing regu-lar vehicle maintenance, wecan help keep everyone safethis Halloween, said MarcBrazeau, president and CEO,AIACanada. Be sure to checkyour vehicles safety itemsand remind children of basicsafety rules before headingout trick-or-treating.More than 64 percent of

surveyed Canadians say that

vehicle servicing is import-ant to them to protect theirfamilys safety, accordingto DesRosiers 2013 LightVehicle Study. With that inmind, below are some drivingand vehicle maintenance tipsthat can help promote safetyand ward off any scares formotorists this Halloween:

Check your lights. Replaceany burnt out signal lightsor headlights straight away.Properly functioning lightsare critical for spotting theghouls and goblins that willbe roaming your neighbour-hood this Halloween, and foroverall road safety.

Drive slowly and abideby the speed limit. Driversshould slow down in neigh-bourhoods and be on highalert for children crossingstreets or emerging frombetween parked cars.

Check your brakes. Yourbrake system is the most vitalsafety component of yourvehicle as it allows you tostop to avoid collision. Checkthat your brakes are in goodworking order in the eventthat you need tomake a quick

stop. Overly excited trick-or-treaters may not always lookboth ways before crossing thestreet.

Check your tires. Worntires lose their ability to gripthe road in adverse condi-tions. Stopping on wet roadscan take up to four times thenormal distance of stoppingon dry roads. Drivers shouldcheck their tire inflation pres-sure as well as tread depthand wear at least once permonth to ensure their tiresare gripping the road prop-erly.

Check your horn. Honk,honk! Make sure your horn isworking in the event that youneed to alert other drivers orpedestrians of danger, or gettheir attention (and to wardoff monsters).

Get a vehicle check-up.Regular maintenance is thebest form of prevention forbreakdowns. Bring yourvehicle to an auto repair shopor qualified mechanic thisHalloween for a check-up tomake sure your vehicle is pre-pared for the colder monthsthat lie ahead.

Be safe thisHalloweenwith a road-worthy car

out celebrating the harvest ofhearty root vegetables? Thisrecipe for oven roasted rootvegetables has the essence ofrosemary and maple syrupand makes a perfect side dishfor this time of year. Enjoy
