On Thursday morning, the rains came, and so did the flooding. And the hardest hit area in the TriCities appeared to be Port Moody, specifically Ioco Road near City Hall and the fire hall. The stretch of road between Guildford Way and Newport Road was shut down shortly after 9 a.m., after motorists and residents started reporting flooding. At its height, the street was covered in about two feet of water. However, city crews were at the scene quickly,

draining and vacuuming the water. The road was reopened a short time later. There was no reported damage to buildings or vehicles, and no one was injured by the flooding. While the city was initially looking at whether plugged storm drains were the culprit, city spokesperson Dave Teixeira said it was determined Mother Nature and the rain were at fault. However, the city is still urging residents to keep their drains clear at this time of year. “It’s a great reminder to residents that when we have inclement weather,

as we’ve had over the last few days, to ensure storm drains are cleared of debris so flooding does not happen,” Teixeira said. In Coquitlam, city crews dealt with some localized flooding in the area of Brunette Avenue and Schoolhouse Street, due to a blocked culvert. City staff are asking residents to clear the catch basins around their homes of leaves and other debris.There were also reports of a handful of homes in the area dealing with flooding. Officials in PoCo said they were unaware of any major flooding in the city.

Confucius complaints, but not here John KURUCZ

jkurucz@thenownews.com A Chinese language and culture program that may be scrapped by Canada’s largest school district hasn’t been the subject of a single complaint during its more than five years in the Tri-Cities, according to school district staff. The Confucius Institute program is currently under heavy scrutiny in Toronto over fears the curriculum is censored and includes progovernment information favouring the communist regime in China. The Toronto board will vote on whether to cancel the program later this month. It was scheduled to begin in September, though that start date was delayed due to the controversy surrounding its implementation. Both McMaster University and the University of Sherbrooke have cancelled their Confucius Institutes.

… it seemed to be something that had caused a lot of controversy in a number of academic settings. – Mari Rutka, Toronto School Board “There are people who are both for it and against it; there are very strong feel-

ings [in the community],” Toronto School Board chair Mari Rutka told the Tri-Cities NOW. “But in terms of the concerns that were raised, they had to do with ties to the Chinese government, the nature of the kind of materials [used], the teaching and how that might all be affected or biased.” Closer to home, School District 43 assistant superintendent and Confucius Institute board chair Patricia Gartland said the same level of concern has yet to surface in Coquitlam. “Absolutely none — people who are involved in Confucius classrooms know what they are: they are great language opportunities and cultural opportunities,” said Gartland, who takes over the superintendent’s role in January. Subsidized by the Chinese government, the program began locally in 2008 as the Confucius Classroom and expanded to become the

Confucius Institute in 2011. That designation change translates into a massive boon for School District 43, as Gartland noted a classroom designation nets the district $10,000, while an institute designation garners $100,000. The district received $150,000 in start-up funds to facilitate the change to an institute in 2012. That followed a donation of $1million worth of new books donated to the school district by the Chinese government in September 2009. As well, the Chinese government provided four 50inch touch-screen media units, worth $16,000 apiece in June 2010. Those funds and designations are first applied for and decided upon based on a program’s reach and the programming offered. Gartland noted local Confucius programs have grown from 50 participants initially to 700 today.

As for the curriculum and course materials, Gartland maintains that everything is vetted by district staff — including herself — the same way regular kindergarten to Grade 12 classes are. The program runs after school and on weekends, and participants can choose to focus on a variety of topics, including tai chi, language arts, calligraphy and dance. “I think that it could be misunderstood … when people really look at a Confucius Institute, they don’t really look any deeper than hearing there is one,” Gartland said. They don’t actually understand that it is really under the control of the educational institution that’s hosting it — completely under the control of the educational institution. So I think there could be misconceptions around a lack of information.” Rutka, meanwhile, said similar safeguards are applied in her district, though not enough information was pro-

vided to trustees when the Toronto school board began looking at implementing the program a few years ago. Only in the last year, and after trustees asked for more information from Toronto School Board staff, has the issue come to the forefront. Rutka didn’t provide information about the volume of feedback the board has received, but media reports suggest trustees have fielded hundreds of calls and e-mails demanding the program be scrapped. “I was concerned that it seemed to be something that had caused a lot of controversy in a number of academic settings,” she said. “I was concerned around some of the claims that people had made regarding the close ties of the institute to the Chinese government and specifically promoting Chinese government messages.” The Toronto School Board will vote on whether to cancel the program on Oct. 29.

IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE! THERE IS NOBODY WITH MORE EXPERIENCE AND VISION THAN LOU TO LEAD COQUITLAM! When elected Mayor, LOU promises to deliver STRONG LEADERSHIP and DECISION-MAKING. We will return to a 0-based BUDGET that will be set on May 15 of each year. It will not be debated until we have all the assessments and surpluses reported by all the departments. Before its final approval by Council, the budget will be presented to the public. By doing this, we will have better control over spending and be in a position to reduce the waste of taxpayers money. I will trim the budget by 5% right away. Fiscal responsibility starts in the Mayor’s office. I will immediately reduce the Mayor’s salary of $130,000 by 15% and the monthly car allowance from $750 to $350. Taxpayers pay about 44% of their income in taxes. I will reduce that number at the municipal level by lowering residential and business taxes. As a direct result of higher business taxes, Coquitlam just lost 500 jobs this year while Port Coquitlam and Port Moody gained jobs. We will put a stop to over taxation!

Over 40 years of public service.

Public Safety has been on the chopping block. This, at a time when our residents have genuine concerns about crime and road safety. We need more traffic enforcement officers. I will immediately have more enforcement. We have traffic speed reader boards on Austin Avenue, Mariner Way, Como Lake, Blue Mountain and North Road indicating that 50 kms per hour is the speed limit. When the lights on the reader boards flash, this means you are speeding.

We must keep our Volunteer Firefighters who live in the community, have local knowledge and department familiarity. Volunteers contribute to the success of our City. We will put power in these Parks: Blue Mountain, Mackin and Coquitlam Town Centre so we don’t have to rent generators and pollute the air any longer. We will bring the community together by supporting and encouraging more festivals like the ones I started when Mayor: Festival du Bois, the Teddy Bears Picnic, FACES, the Scottish Highland Games. By supporting these events, we will celebrate with all, the cultural diversity of our neighbours and friends. At the events, ethnic foods could be made available in all concessions. These festivals will bring thousands of residents and others to Coquitlam and increase business. A VOTE FOR EXPERIENCE, PROVEN LEADERSHIP, ACCOUNTABILITY, DECISION-MAKING AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, IS A VOTE FOR:

Local MPs react to shooting in Ottawa Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com The shooting that rocked Ottawa and shocked the nation Wednesday hit close to home for the Tri-Cities’ two MPs. James Moore and Fin Donnelly were safe following the shooting at Parliament that saw two people killed and the capital in lockdown. Port Moody-CoquitlamPort Coquitlam MP Moore was in Ottawa at the time for caucus meetings, while Coquitlam-New WestminsterPort Coquitlam MP Donnelly was home doing constituency work. Both MPs’ constituency offices, including Moore’s in Port Moody, were ordered closed for the day after a Canadian soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial in downtown Ottawa, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, was killed by gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau. The gunman continued on to Parliament’s Centre Block, where he was shot by Kevin Vickers, the House of Commons’ sergeant-at-arms. Donnelly was at home when he learned of the shooting, calling the situation

I know Kevin [Vickers, who shot the gunman]. He’s an amazing individual, a very humble man. – MP Fin Donnelly “shocking” and “unnerving.” He said his caucus members could smell the gunpowder residue, as they were in a room next to where the shots were fired. The MP described the area where the shootings took place as well secured, and said he’s surprised an incident like that could happen.

Donnelly, who is expecting to be in Ottawa next week, said he’s monitoring the situation but isn’t worried about returning to the capital at this point. “I think we’re still in early days — it’s still too soon to tell what the motive is or what the future of security on the hill, or security for government officials or elected officials, will be,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. Donnelly also praised Vickers, who shot the gunman. He said he knows Vickers and suggested he’ll be celebrated as a hero for his actions. “I know Kevin,” he said. “He’s an amazing individual, a very humble man.” Moore did not return requests for an interview, but sent out this tweet following the incident: “Thank you & God bless those who kept us safe today. Parliament belongs to Canadians and our democracy will forever endure.” Meanwhile, there was local reaction to the shooting, as Coquitlam, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam city halls lowered flags to honour the victim.

Teacher pay at issue BOARD ASKS PROVINCE TO PAY WAGES; SAYS ITS BALANCED BUDGET AT STAKE

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com School District 43 is putting the onus on the province to pay local teachers more than $750,000 for reporting to work for a prep day in mid September before schools reopened after the strike. District officials plan to appeal to the Ministry of Education to pay prep day costs related to Sept. 19 — the day the deal was ratified, but three days before classes were back in session. “This is a provincially negotiated agreement with a provincially negotiated return to work [order] that stated all teachers would be paid to get schools ready for opening,” board chair Melissa Hyndes said. “We ask the government to honour its commitment and fully fund the preparation day on Sept. 19 at all districts across the province.” The issue of who gets paid

what came to light earlier this month. The board said the province had assured payment to teachers for the prep day, while the province claims it instructed boards across B.C. to issue pay based on collective agreements in each district. “The language in all the communiqués [from the provincial government] was very clear,” Hyndes said. “Teachers would be paid for Friday, Sept. 19 to prepare schools for opening on Monday, Sept. 22.” The district’s collective agreement is based on a 20day salary schedule, and when that 20-day threshold isn’t reached, salaries are deducted. The September pay period saw 13 days of missed work, resulting in only seven days worth of pay. The district said while it applied the local collective agreement to the payment of the additional day as it has

done in the past, “provincial inequity” resulted from the application of local collective agreements. “It is our belief that the preparation day was a good idea [and] was well received as a good faith gesture by all,” Hyndes said. “The application of local contract language in this case was inappropriate and not fully considered.” Should the school district end up having to pay teachers from its own coffers, it says its balanced budget will be in jeopardy. However, secretary-treasurer Mark Ferrari noted “there are a number of variables at play,” that could still see the district deliver its first balanced budget in years. “If the government doesn’t pay for those funds, we’ll have to fund this internally,” he said. “We do have a balanced budget going into the year, therefore this would be a cost pressure.”

Baby barn owls rescued from old bridge Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com For years, the old Port Mann Bridge was home to one of the Lower Mainland’s busiest commutes. But in its nearly completely dismantled stage, it turns out the old bridge was the choice domicile for a trio of baby barn owls. On Monday, crews dismantling the bridge on the Coquitlam side discovered three orphaned barn owls after a section of the span was removed. The orphans, which were between two and seven weeks old, were taken to the Wildlife Rescue Association in Burnaby for care. Yolanda Brooks, communications manager for the Wildlife Rescue Association, said none of the owls could fly and the youngest one, which still had fluff and no wings, wasn’t moving. Wildlife officials believe the owls’ parents lost track of the nest after it was moved. Fortunately, after being hydrated, placed in an incubator and hand fed, all the owls started to perk up. In fact, the owls were not injured at all and are doing just fine.

Brooks said the birds are lucky to be alive. “They wouldn’t have lasted very long … without the protection of the nest and without being fed regularly they would have died in a few days,” she said, adding if it was summer they would have stood a better change of surviving. Brooks also suggested it’s quite unusual for owls to nest in a bridge, especially this late in the year, noting trees

After a day at the rescue facility, the owls were transferred to the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society in Delta, where they’ll be taught how to hunt and eventually released back into the wild. Brooks also noted the owls’ home was the only nest found so far on the bridge. For months, crews have been painstakingly dismant-

Finding the right balance

hocking news from the country’s capital this week is the kind of stuff we’ve come to expect from other parts of the world. Airplanes crash into buildings in the United States. Hotels are bombed in the Far East and cars explode in the Middle East. Subways are attacked in faraway places like Japan and London, England. Now the global wave of violence we’ve been seeing and reading about in the news media from other places has come home to Canada. It’s shocking, indeed. But it really shouldn’t be surprising. Canada has taken an active role against belligerents in other parts of the world, so we shouldn’t be surprised when they attempt to bring the fight to our own doorstep. Ottawa gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, had reportedly tried to get a passport to go to Syria. On the other hand, he was apparently not one of the 93 so-called “highrisk travellers” being tracked by authorities. Reports Thursday said in light of the shooting, Mounties have beefed up their role in protecting Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Centre Block. “I can tell you that now we’ve adopted a condition where we will stay with the prime minister in the prime minister’s protective detail, 24/7, no matter where he is,” RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson told the Globe and Mail. While the shooting was shocking, it’s also shocking that the RCMP haven’t been involved in every aspect of the prime minister’s security detail until now. Zehaf-Bibeau was reportedly able to drive his car, which did not have licence plates on it — something that should have aroused suspicion — close to the Parliament buildings, then jump out with a rifle to begin his attack. This shows it’s time to toughen up security around our capital, and our provincial legislatures, in case another unstable person is planning a similar attack. The trick will be in finding a balance between leaving ourselves vulnerable, and creating a police state that interferes with citizens’ access to democracy.

NOWPOLL THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

In light of the Ottawa shooting, should changes be made?

• Yes, police should track radicals more closely • Yes, security should be beefed up in Ottawa • Yes, CSIS should be given more powers • No, we can’t prevent these types of things • No, this was an isolated incident

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

OPINION DELEGATION WEIGHED DOWN MISSION

During the beginning of the fall sitting of the legislature, Premier Christy Clark and two cabinet ministers were off selling B.C. in India and the Far East. And those two trade missions couldn’t be more different. Accompanied by 25 senior executives from the industry, Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Minister Steve Thomson was in China, Japan and South Korea with one objective: develop new markets for B.C.’s forestry products. Premier Clark, on the other hand, was accompanied to India by Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk and a diverse group of 72 travelling companions, from nearly a dozen different economic sectors, two countries and two provinces. Some of those sectors have sufficient numbers for some critical mass: education, LNG and the film industry. But there’s also representation from the fashion industry, decorative stones, a port authority, a modelling agency, heavy equipment, a used car dealer, a travel firm and even a

Tim Horton’s franchisee. One company — Canadian Western Holdings Ltd. — wouldn’t have a single Google result to its name were it not for the recent news release from the premier’s office announcing the delegation. A handful of the companies don’t have a website; some don’t seem to have a listed phone number anywhere in Canada. Among the delegation, a handful of multinationals who could hardly be considered homegrown. Super natural B.C. doesn’t spring to mind when you think of Colliers, Deloitte or KPMG. Each has extensive operations in India already. Another company — Affluence Capital — operates out of a home-based office in Calgary. Pyramid Wine Exports is also Calgary-based, but does broker B.C. wines. Three companies are actually headquartered in India and any connection with B.C. — such as an office or telephone number — isn’t readily apparent from their websites. Tata Elxsi’s Visual Computing Labs is an animation and visual effects studio in India. It’s part of the Tata Group, a $100-billion multinational based in Mumbai.

In addition to the nine postsecondary institutions on the trip, a handful of research centres were among the delegation, including: IC-IMPACTS or the India-Canada Centre for Innovative Multidisciplinary Partnerships to Accelerate Community Transformation and Sustainability. Can understand why they went with the acronym. In the still-selling-the-sizzle department, the LNG sector is well represented with Pacific Oil and Gas, Pacific Northwest LNG, and Huu-ay-aht First Nations, which is hoping to develop an LNG facility with fellow traveller Steelhead LNG. Godspeed to them. India currently buys LNG from Qatar, a distance of 2,885 km, and Australia, a distance of 7,060 km. The odometer to Squamish — site of Pacific Oil and Gas’s proposed Woodfibre LNG plant — clicks in at about 11,800 km. And talk about your mixed messages. While Clark touts LNG as clean energy, she’s pushing coal and oil too. Colonial Coal Corp. and East West Petroleum were among the delegation. East West Petroleum has exploration concessions in New Zealand, Romania, Morocco and India, but

not one in B.C. It does have former federal cabinet minister Herb Dhaliwal on the board of directors though. Here’s another problem with the delegation: when most people think trade, they think widgets, companies that manufacture a good or produce a service that can be sold to customers in other countries. While importing is an integral part of any trading relationship, most British Columbians would expect the priority of a B.C. trade mission to be on exports, because exports create jobs here in B.C. And after all, British Columbians are picking up a chunk of the tab. Yet, ethniK Yarns — which imports hand-woven sarees from India — was on the trip. Tough to imagine they’re going to start hand weaving sarees in the Lower Mainland to export back to India any time soon. All of these factors contribute to the crux of the problem with this trip: just as too many cooks spoil the broth, too many industries and too many competing interests can spoil a trade mission.

Those stories can be found at www.thenownews.com/your-vote-matters (or click on YOUR VOTE MATTERS on the red bar at the top of the home page), and we welcome candidates to submit their own biographies there. A print election guide with information on mayoral, council and school trustee candidates will run in our paper on Nov. 7.

We’ll facilitate discussions on issues in each community, as well as topics related to the education system, between noon and 4 p.m. Follow us on Twitter @thetricitiesnow to join in the conversation.

Event will highlight wine, food pairings CONT. FROM PAGE 13 “If you’re interested in wine to any degree, this would be the event for you,” said coorganizer John Gerum. “We select the best wineries and they bring their best wines. At an event like this, outside of downtown Vancouver, you’re not going to see 40 of the top B.C. wineries all in one place.” A sommelier and wine columnist for the Tri-Cities NOW, Gerum said the event has grown exponentially since its inception. He attributes part of that surge to the myriad of culinary programs on TV, as well an increased interest in the finer points of wine: where it’s made and the grape it’s harvested from, among other things. “If people are going out now, and they’re making the effort to spend $100 to $200, they really want to know more about the wine, more about the food, and more about where it all comes from,” Gerum said.

John Gerum “We’re getting people asking a lot of questions and BC Uncorked attracts those types of people. The engagement and education factor is a huge part of the event.” Restaurants that will provide food pairing options include Browns Social House (Coquitlam), Club Ilia, COBS Suter Brook, Dairy Farmers of Canada, Hard Rock Casino Vancouver, IGA, Montana’s (Coquitlam), the new Originals Café Mexicano in Port Moody and Seasonal 56 from Langley. While assessing a wine

includes looking for specific traits — colour, texture and taste, among other things — Gerum noted pairing foods with wine is also an art form. Texture and flavour matches are essential parts of the process, though Gerum cautions reading too much into it. “If you like the wine, you should be able to drink it and eat it with whatever — I don’t want to take that away from people, because if they have a Shiraz with fish and they like it, who am I to say otherwise?” he said. “But then there are the finer points — when someone goes to great lengths to put a meal on the table, I think you should appreciate that with the right match of wine.” Outside of the wine tastings and food pairings, a silent auction will be held featuring gift certificates, gift baskets, B.C. wines and a VIP dinner package. BC Uncorked runs from 7 to 9:30 p.m., and tickets cost $55. For more information, see www.bcuncorked.ca.

Check out these haunts 3 BENEFIT VARIETY; 1 WILL HELP EAGLE RIDGE HOSPITAL

Three dedicated devils have been busy over the past few weeks setting up their horrifying haunted houses in Coquitlam, bringing some Halloween fun to the neighbourhood and fundraising to help Variety — The Children’s Charity. Vickie Ayers is one of Variety’s most dedicated supporters, and this is the 16th year she’s celebrating her Haunted House at 443 Draycott St. It’s a familyfriendly event suitable for even the smallest monsters, and runs through Oct. 31 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Entrance is by donation, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. In 2013, David Ciarniello

LISA KING/NOW

Vickie Ayers’ haunted house, at 443 Draycott St., is suitable for kids of all ages. Admission is by donation. had so much fun with his first fundraiser for Variety that he’s doing it again and wants you to be afraid — very afraid. Ciarniello’s haunted house features high-tech animatronics such as the man in the electric chair, a new maze and other surprises guaranteed to send even the most hardened ghouls screaming into the night. Not for the

little ones, this display is best suited to older teens and adults. See how much scariness you can stand at 1838 Haversley Ave. The display runs through Oct. 31, from 7 to 10 p.m. Long-time Variety supporter Marlene Bileski is also asking for donations to Variety at her family’s haunted house display at 2988 Forestridge Pl., which runs from 6 to 10

p.m. through Oct. 31. Proceeds from all three haunted houses help Variety help children who have special needs, according to a press release. Over the past five years, Variety has provided funding to 125 families in the TriCities area, helping to cover the often unexpected costs associated with raising a child who has special needs. The children received life-saving, life-changing and life-enriching support for a variety of challenges, including autism, hearing loss, cerebral palsy, diabetes, learning disabilities and injury as a result of accident. ••• Also in Coquitlam this year, Sandy Olynyk is back with his interactive animated display. Olynyk sets up his Blow Your Mind Haunted House on the Hill at 2980 Cape Crt. He’s collecting donations for Eagle Ridge Hospital, and says those brave enough to make it to the door will receive “huge rewards.”

Your journey star ts here .

The new BMW X4 is stylish and sleek BMW continues to introduce a new vehicle for every possible market segment, no matter how small the niche may be. Despite having numerous SUVs in its fleet already, BMW has decided it will attempt to take even a bigger slice of the “growing pie” by introducing the coupe-style X4. For those not familiar, BMW’s with an odd number in its name, 3, 5 and 7 Series, are the more sensible, practical models. The even numbered vehicles, 2, 4 and 6 series, are the more desirable, sporty models. Being a part of a unique group, the BMW X4 has only a few direct rivals: the eccentric Range Rover Evoque and the brand new Porsche Macan. The X4’s biggest competitor may just be BMW’s own X3, on which X4 is based — simply because the X3 offers more space at lower pricing while still looking sporty enough.

Design

The new X4 is derived from the X3 but it sacrifices some practicality in the inter-

MOTORING David Chao

est of style. BMW calls the X4 a “sports activity coupe” and it attempts to bridge a coupe and compact SUV. The most obvious difference between the X4 and the X3 is its sloping roofline, accented by sharp creases. The styling of the X4 is the most controversial aspect of this new vehicle. Those not on board should know it follows a very successful formula BMW has used with the larger X6, and no one can deny the fact that the X4 stands out in the crowd. The X4’s cabin is remarkably similar to the X3, which means it has a stylish, somewhat conservative design

Performance

Much less controversial are the X4’s line-up of engines,

because the X4 shares its engine lineup with others in the BMW range. Base model X4’s, the xDrive28i, comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder. It produces 240 hp and 258 ft-lbs of torque. This engine is superb, with plenty of pulling power and surprising amount of get-upand-go. Stepping up to the xDrive35i increases both horsepower and torque to an even 300 each. This comes from a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six that is second to none in the industry. Smooth and gutsy, the 3.0-litre is one of the best engines in the world in terms of overall feel and balance of power vs economy. BMW’s xDrive AWD system comes standard, obviously, along with an eight-speed automatic transmission. There are no other drivetrain or transmission options available at this time. BMW has made its name by building driver’s cars. Its SUVs, while sportier than many of its rivals, are

understandably never as spirited as their cars. But the 2015 X4, still using X3 underpinnings, drives much more like a BMW car. It has the best electric power steering unit BMW has made yet. The lower ride height and retuned suspension give the X4 a different personality than the X3, though not as much as you think. It is a joy to drive on a twisty road and has four selectable driving modes allowing you to customize your driving experience. To make the X4 as fuel efficient as possible, it comes with BMW EFFICIENTDYNAMICS, which includes auto start/stop, low rollingresistance tires, brake-energy regeneration and a coasting function.

Environment

While the cabin of the X4 mostly resembles the X3, BMW has given it a few unique features to make it feel exclusive. The front passengers sit 20mm lower and the rear bench has a more pronounced two-seat appearance to accentuate the look of the exterior. The X4 can seat five passengers, however only four will be truly comfortable. The rear centre seat is really just a perch. The two outer seats don’t have a lot of head room because of the sloping roof, but anyone under six-feet should be fine. The most concerning aspect for rear passengers would be the floor height. Knee room is quite good, but because the seats were lowered to provide adequate head-room, passengers may feel like their knees are a bit high.

As can be expected, the X4 has less cargo space than an X3. However, the rear seats are split 40/20/40 to make the space as versatile as possible. The X4 comes with a good amount of standard technology features, including BMW’s iDrive with a 6.5-inch control display. This system can be upgraded to access the Internet and have one of the best navigation systems on the market with Advanced Real Time Traffic Information.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for the xDrive28i are 11.8 city, 8.4 highway and 10.3 combined. The xDrive35i returns 12.5 city, 8.7 highway for 10.8 combined.

Stop Heartburn

and Reflux Naturally

Prevent reflux by having an alkaline balanced stomach with the Bell Acidic Stomach & Alkaline Balance #39. You may not need more chemicals or drugs ever after. Many millions suffer needlessly. Read the guarantee. Truthful actual experiences from real people: !Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC !Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief with noside effects and no antacids needed anymore. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA !Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking antacid products. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL !Burning in my stomach, bloating, headaches all stopped! For 20 years I was tortured with stomach acid, reflux, belching, even my brain was affected. Within 2 days after taking Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline balance I had relief of all my health problems I suffered with for so long. Floyd D. Davis, 89, Denham Springs, LA !Heartburn, acid reflux, stomach trouble for many years. Doctors gave me different pills, but I had no lasting relief. Had every test known to man. I finally talked to my health food store and they said Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance really works. It sure does. I had my husband and son take it and they all had the same results. I can now eat even spicy food with no problems. Verna Conti, 80, London, ON.

CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. ! Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than what anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL ! My medical indicated prediabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON ! I finally found the right #40 NPN 80040208 approach to lose weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON ! I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN !Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living. Roger Light, 57, Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Calming Stress

Helps to promote healthy mood balance, relaxation, use as a sleep aid and mental stress. Stress is one of the main causes of high blood pressure. Truthful experience by people: ! I am calm now in stressful situations! In the past 10 years I had a very short fuse, because my job is quite unpredictable. After I started Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 the difference was amazing. My reactions to stressful situations are totally changed. I also have more energy, too. I don’t yell at others. I have more patience and I am much happier as well. Thank you. Mary-Anne Thompson, 61, Lasalle, ON ! It truly made me feel calmer. I was able to better cope with stress and was not afraid to deal with stressful situations head-on, instead of avoiding them as I had done in the past. Consequently I was also able to sleep better at night. No more waking up hyperventilating from stress of the day. Peter Armbruster, 48, Waterloo, ON. ! I have a very high stress career in the film industry. There was no time for relaxation or meditation as you are on demand for 12-15 hours a day with no breaks. Since using Bell #66I am able to focus on the tasks at hand with more patience. Thank you for your help! Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC !It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 for our two #66 NPN 80041855 sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results. Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much.

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com Port Moody’s Inlet Theatre will host Music at the Inlet, a performance by jazz and classical musicians, on Friday, Nov. 7. Pianist and organizer Anna Levy, of the Yarilo Contemporary Music Society, hopes the show will demystify classical music for those not familiar with it. “I want to create a home for musicians in Port Moody,” she said, “to have a home for certain moods that are created through music for people in Port Moody.” The show will feature two Fazioli pianos donated for the evening, and classically-trained pianist Rosemary O’Connor, Colin MacDonald’s Pocket Orchestra, and the Kristian Alexandrov Trio with Shannon Gaye will join Levy for the event. The musicians will take on works by Johannes Brahms and Michael Conway Baker, as well as jazz tunes from Bulgaria and North America. O’Connor, who calls the Tri-Cities home after moving here from California, says building a connection with

‘Silgranit’ a new kitchen sink material If eye-catching colour is turning your head in décor showrooms these days, you’ll be pleased to know that the sheer beauty of a post-modern kitchen sink can indeed be coupled with the toughest surface. A hot topic in 2014, for example, is a superstar material for sinks called “silgranit,” which has been gaining a lot of popularity in recent years. This is a rock-solid composite, made in Canada, engineered in Germany — and Toronto is one of only two silgranit production facilities in the world. “Silgranit is a patented material that combines 80 per cent natural granite stone with a premium, acrylicresin formula to give the sink unsurpassed hardness, strength and durability,” says Edyta Drutis at Blanco Canada, an innovator in kitchen art technology. These sinks, she points out, are non-porous for exceptional hygiene and easy care. They are also scratch-, chip- and stain-resistant, and they are strong enough to withstand the heat of

saucepans straight from the stove — and tough enough to let you cut food right on the surface. “If you’re looking for a beautiful kitchen feature that will never lose its brand new look and appeal, these sinks will give you a lifetime of pride,” Drutis continues. “The colours are cinder, anthracite, truffle, café, biscotti and white, each one a non-fading, densely textured earth shade. Cinder, for example, is a velvety warm charcoal with a hint of brown. Anthracite is a beautiful black sink, dramatic but also serene. All of the colours are imbued with a mineral pearlescence to catch the light and each one is designed to complement the other décor features in your kitchen.”

Trend-setting models

The two most talked about silgranit sinks this year are first, the Blanco Precis Cascade, with a revolutionary bi-level bottom, and second, the Blanco Diamond Low Divide U 1 ¾, a func-

NEWSCANADA

Silgranit is a combination of natural stone granite and an acrylic-resin formula. tional double-bowl design. “The Diamond Low Divide U 1 ¾ model is one of a kind,” says Drutis. “Indeed, we say ‘raise the bar in your kitchen by lowering your divide.’ The main feature of the sink is a low partition in the large, double bowl. This partition gives you added room

to fit large pots, pans and trays, making cleanup much quicker and easier. In a busy kitchen, the Diamond Low Divide functions as a regular double-bowl sink — but is able to do so much more.” The Blanco Precis Cascade is also a star performer this year, turning heads with its

super-square modern bowl design, also with bi-level bottom. “The lower level is designed to soak your pots and pans, while the raised level equipped with a mesh basket can function much like a second bowl, perfect for cutlery or glassware,

or for washing fruit and vegetables,” Drutis explains. “Both sinks are exceptional examples of the silgranit innovation — and you can even get the faucets colourmatched with silgranit finishes. “Coloured faucets are striking when paired with the colour of your sink,” she continues. “And yet, if you think you might miss the usual gleaming finish on this fixture, take a look at the faucets with a split finish. This gives you the silgranit colour at the base and shiny chrome on the rest. Varying faucet styles are available, including models with pull-down and pull-out features, dual spray function and a wide variety of designs to satisfy today’s kitchen needs.” Each faucet, like each Blanco sink, is an achievement of German engineering and sophisticated styling — and with the solid brass construction, says Drutis, they are built to last a lifetime.

EXPRESS SHAKE IT UP

With just two wins in 13 games, the Coquitlam Express are the opposite of hot. Head coach Barry Wolff said the current six-game losing skid may have seen some better efforts, but in the end, results on paper are what count. “It’s coming together and we’ve been better of late, but we don’t have much time to turn this around,” he said. “You need wins, and we need some now.” With that in mind, Wolff made two deals to address key areas — primarily, keeping the puck out of the net. Coming on the heels of last weekend’s addition of defenceman Dustin Cave, Coquitlam picked up netminder Chris Tai, a North Delta native, on Tuesday. Tai has spent much of the past three seasons in the Western Hockey League with Medicine Hat, Brandon and Lethbridge. Although not big in size, Tai has demonstrated an ability to play big on the ice. “He was with Medicine Hatt, Lethbridge and until a few weeks ago Kelowna [of the WHL],” remarked Wolff. “Many people would say he was the reason Lloydminster won its first playoff round last year [in the Alberta Junior A Hockey League].” To read the complete story, go to www. thenownews.com.

CATS ON A HOT STREAK

Three time’s the charm. The Port Moody Panthers have put a horrible start behind them, thanks to a threegame winning streak in junior B hockey action. Port Moody’s latest victory came last Saturday when the topped Aldergrove 85. Although they briefly trailed 1-0, the Panthers scored two goals in the first period to jump ahead and never looked back. Coquitlam native Adam Rota tallied a shorthanded marker with three seconds left in the second, then added a powerplay marker midway through the third, to lead the way. Another key part of the club’s turnaround has been netminder Spencer Kozlowski, who kicked out 42 shots for his third straight win. Adding singles were Reece Bartel, Keito Lee, Eric Malli, Daniel Szpakowski, Derian White and Sammy Zeinab. The Panthers visit Ridge Meadows tonight (Friday), before returning home to host the Richmond Sockeyes on Saturday, 7:45 p.m. at the Ioco St. arena.

BIG WIN FOR GUNNERS

Under-21 callup Edi Bogere set up the opening goal then counted his own a minute later, leading the Port Moody Lordco Gunners past Coastal Ford FC 5-0 in Fraser Valley men’s premier soccer league play. Bogere set up Jeff Rogers for the game’s first goal at the 30-minute mark, then quickly split the defence and slotted the ball past the Coastal keeper to give Port Moody a 2-0 advantage. Five minutes later, Dave Robson blasted home the squad’s third goal. Bogere and Rogers rounded out the scoring in the second half, each with their second of the night. The win keeps the Gunners two points out of top spot with a 4-1-2 record. They host Langley, 7:30 p.m. tonight (Friday) at the Port Moody Town Centre turf. In under-21 action, Port Moody trounced Sto:Lo 9-0, led by two-goal performances from Jacob Kortenbach, Souta Nakayama, Steven Porcellato and Brendan Vollman.

It’s go time for Rapids at Red Serge

Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com If you can withstand the competition at this week’s Coquitlam RCMP-Red Serge Classic senior girls volleyball tournament, you’re ready for anything. That’s been the track record over the past 12 years, and this 13th edition won’t be any different, remarked Riverside Rapids coach Bryan Gee. “With the strike costing us valuable time, we’ve been trying to get into game shape for this [tournament],” said Gee. “The Red Serge is almost as important a tournament as the Fraser Valleys in gauging where you stand.” The host school enters this weekend’s tourney ranked No. 3 among AAAA senior girls squads in B.C. Already tested through an abbreviated season (with two weeks remaining), Riverside expects to get a close look at who will be the top

challengers for this year’s B.C. title. Eight of the AAAA-league’s top-10 teams are in attendance, and the other two teams on the docket are AAA No. 1 rated Timberline and No. 2 South Delta — who until this season were one of the Rapids’ toughest rivals in the QuadA circuit. Two years ago in the provincial final, South Delta dashed the Port Coquitlam crew’s B.C. championship dreams in the provincial final. A year ago, Handsworth bumped them from the top bracket and South Delta added salt to the wound at the B.C.s, where Riverside placed eighth. The core of that Rapids roster, however, has returned to make good on lessons learned. Veterans Christine Anderson, Hayley Menard and Taryn Toscani are just part of a resilient group, which weathered last year’s storm and meteoric rise as a mostly Grade 11 squad.

This year’s roster is fused with seven rookies who placed second at the 2013 jr. provincials. “The junior [grads] have definitely made this a strong mix,” noted Gee. “We have experience and youth and it makes it a lot of fun to coach and watch.” The tournament has its first serve today [Friday] at 2:30 p.m., when Riverside takes on No. 8 rated Lord Tweedsmuir on Court 1; No. 1-ranked Argyle plays seventh-seeded Moscrop on Court 2; and on Court 3 Handsworth faces No. 5 Earl Marriott. Riverside also plays Timberline at 3:35 p.m. and Moscrop at 6 p.m. Action picks up again Saturday with Riverside drawing Argyle — who they fell to in three sets at last week’s Handsworth tournament. The playoff round begins at 12:45 p.m., with the championship final slated for 5:45 p.m. All games are at Riverside.

Tri-Cities core sparks Royals resurgence

Dan Olson & Tom Berridge

sports@thenownews.com Today’s [Friday] playoff test in Squamish is just one more step in a successful season for the Douglas College Royals women’s soccer team. Playing PacWest rival Langara in the semifinal at Quest University is what the players had in mind when they came together to start the season. And for a team steeped in Tri-Cities talent, a playoff berth is just part of what they hope to achieve. “We’re proud of what we’ve done so far, but we’re far from satisfied,” said Douglas head coach Chris Laxton. “We’ve had some really clear goals and this is one more step down that road.” The first step was just getting to the B.C. collegiate championships, a feat that had eluded the women’s prgram for some time. Port Moody twin sisters Ashley and Hayley Melvin will get their first taste of the post season as five-year veterans. Nicolle Fraser of PoCo has been working towards this goal for four seasons. Among the third-year Royals are Marni

Mercury fit to be tied New jerseys didn’t alter the Port Moody Mercury’s approach in their boys under-17 Div. 2 soccer battle with Ladner. Putting forth their best defensive outing yet, Port Moody withstood the league’s top attack to earn a 0-0 tie. Setting the tone was goalkeeper Riley Engleson, who denied Ladner on a number of chances. He was aided by monster performances from defenders Quinn Henney, Christian Knowles and Quinn Spooner. The Mercury nearly stole the game, thanks to offensive chances by Thomas Staddon and Mateo Coutant. • A slow start quickly became a shiny finish as the Port Moody under-10 select girls Diamonds toppled Port Coquitlam 3-0. Receiving stellar first half goalkeeping from Sienna Anderson, Port Moody took a 1-0 lead on Cameilla Empson’s first of two. PoCo pushed back but the defence, led by Ava Taylor, held its ground. In the second half, Mackenzie Quinn took over the netminding duties and was sharp in preserving the shutout. Jane Robinson also tallied, while standout support came from Makena Easton and Leah Song.

NORTH COQUITLAM A determined start lifted the North Coquitlam United u16 boys Fusion past Guildford 4-1 in Div. 1 action. Posting a hat trick was Brandon Sadowski, with Thomas Venos adding a single. Turning in sharp efforts were Matthew Carnsew, Aaron Hu and Cole Mullen. Earlier, North Coquitlam topped the Richmond Thanksgiving tournament with a 3-1 record. They wrapped up the series by rallying for a 3-1 win over Vancouver.

Building up a 3-1 lead at halftime, the

Coquitlam Metro-Ford u18 boys Crusaders had to settle for a 3-3 tie with Tsawwassen after a rough second half. Aiden Ames, off a pass from Alex Perrotta, Ethan Wong, from a cross by Bryan Campbell, and Ames again, from Wong, put the Crusaders up at the half. • Erin Ilett netted two goals to spark the Coquitlam Metro-Ford u13 select girls Rebels past Port Moody 3-0 in metro action last week. Ilett opened the scoring and then doubled the lead in the second half off a left-footed strike. Michela Cervellin buried a perfect through ball from Sarah Hilford to complete the offence. The Rebels’ back four of Madison Ciulla, Keely Lind-Petersen, Jenna Mariotti and Laura Marshall helped netminder Milena Wilson collect her fifth shutout of the season. • Goalkeeper Kaitlyn McIhiney made a couple of big second-half stops to preserve the Coquitlam Metro-Ford u16 metro Kaos’ 4-0 win over West Coast. Catrina Olstrom counted two goals in the first half, while Alison Seymour and Madyson Weir added singles. Putting in valiant work at their respective positions were Renee Baker, Maggy Spence and Victoria Yule. • For the fourth time this season, the Coquitlam Metro-Ford u16 gold TNT played to a draw, this time with Surrey. Neither team could find the back of the net, with Coquitlam’s Alivia Ungaro providing stellar goalkeeping. The TNT had its share of scoring chances as well, led by Natasha Calis and Kaisha Markiewicz. On defence, Isabel Antunes and Nicole Chursinoff turned in strong efforts. • With a strong edge in possession, the Coquitlam Metro-Ford u13 Aftershock slipped past Surrey 2-1. Supplying the offence were Maia Faccone and Chanelle Prestia, while firm stances on defence were delivered by Rosina Gallaccio and Elyssa Ricci.
