LEGION DEPENDS ON POPPY DRIVE TO HELP MEMBERS

jkurucz@thenownews.com Rebuilding broken souls and offering a hand up. Among the many activities that go on at the Royal Canadian Legion, it’s that type of restorative work that the yearly poppy drives help subsidize. Those efforts were put into focus at Monday’s PoCo council meeting, as Legion branch No. 133 president Andrew Carroll and other members highlighted the annual poppy drive campaign’s

kickoff this week. In turn, PoCo council passed a proclamation designating the period between Nov. 5 and 11 as Veterans Week. “It is an extremely significant fundraiser. It’s the biggest fundraiser we have,” Carroll said of the poppy drive. “I would urge every one of you to stop and remember the sacrifices that have been made by your grandfathers, your fathers, your uncles, and now by your brothers and siblings who have served one or two tours of duty in Afghanistan CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

What our patients say... Neck and Shoulder Pain “On day one, it was difficult to move my head all the way left and right and now I can. I could not lift my left arm above my head and now I can. THE PAIN IS GONE! If I hurt myself again, I will treat with LASER Therapy.” Dennis Moore (63) Foot Pain “I had pain in my big toe for over a year but after having only 5 laser treatments the pain was gone. I am happy with the service and the friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this safe, non-invasive therapy.” Theresa Kraynyk (81) Burn Injury “...My calf had made contact with a hot tail pipe of a Harley and the burn was just oozing. There was a noticeable improvement after one treatment, and after 3 in a row, it was as good as gone!” Debbie Moore (43) Sciatica “My GP could not offer any treatment other than pain killers and waiting it out. After six laser treatments I am now pain free and have resumed my active life style.” J.I. (70) Spinal Stenosis I was diagnosed with Central Canal Spinal Stenosis and was suffering with pain, bilateral foot drop and decreasing ability to walk. I had been recommended to do surgery to fix the pain. After 13 treatments of Laser Light Therapy, there was so much relief. I am no longer taking any pain medications. I have no tingling in my feet and am able to walk without my cane now. Vivian Tonietto (53)

Plantar Fasciitis Laser Therapy was a godsend. I suffered a severe case of Plantar Fasciitis in both feet to the point where I could barely function. After about 5 treatments I started noticing a change for the better and after 10 treatments I was able to resume my daily walks without pain and discomfort. It was also recommended that I wear proper orthotics to avoid future incidents. Diane (75) Wound “Thanks to laser treatment (6 treatments) and a course of vitamins, a very bad skin disorder over my legs and left hand cleared up. I had this problem for over 6 months. Thanks again.” Dan Scott (67) Low intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Based on the genetic makeup of the cells, an individual’s response to LILT will vary to some degree.

Preserving local salmon stocks COQUITLAM MAN’S FISH SPAWNING CHANNELS, REARING PONDS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com With fish stocks on either side of the country in serious decline, Tony Matahlija was faced with a sink-or-swim scenario. The year was 1996, and as a result of his dwindling livelihood as a commercial fisherman, Matahlija took a series of government-offered courses that helped fishermen transition into other careers. The result was the establishment of the North Fraser Salmon Assistance Society, a grassroots, Coquitlam-based group that helps preserve salmon stocks across B.C.’s south coast. Matahlija’s latest project wrapped up in early September, and now the fruits of his labour are on full display as thousands of salmon make their way back up the Coquitlam River via newly made fish spawning channels and rearing ponds. Matahlija teamed up with BC Hydro and a series of volunteers to build the remediation project, which is needed particularly for young fish

Voters elect two rookie councillors

John KURUCZ

jkurucz@thenownews.com Name recognition didn’t count for much in the Coquitlam byelection on Saturday. Two former councillors with more than a decade’s worth of combined experience were trumped by a pair of political rookies, as Chris Wilson and Bonita Zarrillo finished in first and second place, respectively. Wilson cruised to victory after taking 26 per cent of the vote (3,826 votes), while Zarrillo’s second-place finish saw her garner 18 per cent of the vote (2,648). Former incumbents Doug Macdonell and Barrie Lynch finished in third and fourth with 14.33 per cent of the vote, and 11.96 per cent, respectively. “I heard on the doorstep over and over again that people wanted some fresh ideas and that they wanted some movement on council,” said Zarrillo, a 47-year-old analyst by trade. Wilson, on the other hand, claimed victory on his second attempt at political office, after he ran unsuccessfully for an MLA seat in CoquitlamBurke Mountain in the May provincial election.

Chris Wilson

Bonita Zarrillo

“That experience was so invaluable,” said Wilson, who serves as the executive director of KidSport Tri-Cities. “I learned so much — how to talk to people on the doorstep, how to understand what their concerns are. I was able to develop a really solid network of volunteers and I understood how to develop a campaign strategy. It was a huge learning experience.” As for the other candidates, Terri Towner finished fifth (with 9.99 per cent of the vote), followed by Vincent Wu (4.78 per cent), Ben Craig (4.69 per cent), Ben Kim (3.99 per cent), Michael Bell (3.02 per cent), Kurt Zaporozan (1.76 per cent) and Kevin Startin (1.5 per cent). Although both councillor-

elects are already attending meetings, they can’t vote on items until they are sworn in on Nov. 18. “We want them up to speed to the extent it’s possible,” Mayor Richard Stewart said Tuesday. “This is a $250-million operation. It’s got complexities that I don’t expect anyone to grasp fully in their first year in any case, but I think these two can get up to speed.” Saturday’s voter turnout totals eclipsed the numbers seen in the city’s two most recent byelections. About 9.2 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots on Saturday, or 8,036 residents. The 2010 byelection saw 7.6 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots, while only 5.1 per cent did so in the 2007 byelection.

After listening to the presentation, PoCo Mayor Greg Moore urged residents to observe Remembrance Day in an appropriate fashion. “One of the things that has entered the vocabulary and the mind set in society is that people are calling the [Remembrance Day] long weekend like it’s a time to go on holiday, like Thanksgiving long weekend or B.C. Day long weekend,” he said. “It’s just not. It’s not a long weekend. It’s a time that we should be honouring the people that have come before us, or our brothers or sisters right now beside us.” PoCo’s Remembrance Day events begin with a service from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Wilson Centre. From there, the cenotaph remembrance service gets underway at Veterans Park at 11 a.m.

Derelict boats subject of Port Moody meeting

PILOT PROJECT PLANNED WITH PORT Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com Residents in Port Moody will soon get their say on a plan to manage boats in Burrard Inlet. The city will host an open house to discuss a pilot project being considered between the municipality and Port Metro Vancouver to deal with derelict boats in the inlet. The open house will take place on Monday, Nov. 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Old Orchard Hall, 646 Bentley Rd. Last week, council approved a resolution seeking public input on the proposed designated anchorage area. The plan is for the city and port to team up on a harbour management plan that would see the port take over management of nonanchorage areas, with the municipality overseeing the designated anchorage areas. That means there will be an area on the inlet where boats can be moored, and the city can recover the costs of administering the program. The initiative is called the Anchor Management Pilot Project and is a first of its kind for B.C. Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said the plan should put an end to the problem of derelict boats. However, he called the issue “tricky, adding it is similar to other neighbourhood issues. “Nobody owns the water; we all have equal rights out there,” he said. “If you can be there, I can be there.”

NOW FILE PHOTO

A derelict boat washed up in Port Moody last year, with the city paying thousands of dollars to dispose of it.

Clay added the goal is to have boats registered, insured and easily identified, so if they do get stolen or wash up on shore, they can be identified. The issue around the boats came to a head in June after Port Moody residents expressed concern about vessels on the inlet, which included the potential for collisions and boaters dumping raw sewage. At the time there were an estimated 37 boats on the inlet. The speculation is the boats moved to the inlet after Vancouver put new regulations in place several years ago for boaters on False Creek. Last year, a derelict boat washed up in Port Moody, costing the city thousands of dollars to remove and dispose of the vessel. Clay indicated the pilot program would be cost neutral to the city.

Watch out for tiny trickor-treaters

t appears vampires have the zombies on the run this Halloween. A poll commissioned by Scotia Bank indicates that the next in line for costumes of choice among the 54 per cent of Canadians who this year plan to celebrate All Hallows Eve, one way or another, are witches, fairies and pirates, all of them outpacing the inevitable — but decidedly outnumbered — lurching zombies. The poll indicates that British Columbians have prepared themselves to spend more on Halloween this year (about $82 on average) than any other Canadians (national average: $70). The top two activities planned across the country are handing out candies and taking the kids out trick-or-treating, to collect those candies being handed out. While replacing trick-or-treating with Halloween parties for kids continues to gain popularity, there will still be thousands of youngsters out on the streets and avenues this Thursday evening. Most will be appropriately dressed (at least from a safety perspective) in bright costumes and reflective clothing, with masks that afford them clear visibility of their surroundings, and will be accompanied by responsible adults as they navigate familiar neighbourhoods, trolling for candies from friendly households. But some will not — they’ll be dressed in dark or drab clothing, stumbling over trailing costumes, without adequate flashlights. In some cases, they will simply have strayed momentarily from a well-organized group. If you’re driving anywhere as Halloween’s dusk begins to fall — the traditional time for the ghosts and goblins to traipse from doorstep to doorstep in the quest for full bags of sweets — be careful. If your kids are out there, prepare them, impress on them to be careful … and accompany them. Despite the sometimes macabre costumes, Halloween is supposed to be fun, not tragic.

‘ERRONEOUS MAP’ MISLED KLAHANIE RESIDENTS

Re: “Klahanie residents have Evergreen fears,” Friday, Oct. 25. The residents of Klahanie neighbourhood in Port Moody were misled by an erroneous map displayed in public meetings in fall 2010. The map indicated that the rapid transit line would be at-grade through central Port Moody. But artist’s renderings of the adjacent Moody Central and Ioco stations showed the rapid transit line on opposite sides of the West Coast Express track. Somewhere in between the transit line had to overpass the railroad track. Unfortunately, an omission on the map left out this devilish detail. This small error in the map left people with an incomplete and inaccurate understanding of the rapid transit line through central Port Moody. While it is too late to change the configuration of the transit track, as Mayor Clay assured, measures can be taken to mitigate the impact of the elevated track on the adjacent Klahanie residents, such as low sound baffle walls on the guideway’s parapet and wheel lubricators on the approach track curves in both directions.

Liquor changes are on tap

ther than its all-in approach to creating a liquefied natural gas industry and talking about growing the economy, the B.C. Liberal government is not particularly active when it comes to other initiatives. It is not a government bent on fixing all kinds of things or sticking its nose in a lot of people’s business. When the legislature resumes sitting next February, don’t expect a heavy legislative package to be put before the house (except for bills relating directly to economic measures). But there is a big exception to this light touch of lawmaking that will affect many people, and that is the looming overhaul of the province’s liquor laws. Changing the rules when it comes to alcohol use is always tinged with controversy, which is why major changes rarely occur. The last significant overhaul was done for the province’s Expo 86, although there has been the occasional tweak since then. B.C. Liberal MLA John Yap is heading up the review. The public consultation phase ends this week and so far Yap has received a blizzard of feedback. The website set up for the review has had more than 50,000 hits (average stay: 10 minutes) while there have been more than 100 e-mail submissions and almost 60 meetings with stakeholders. It’s not surprising there is enormous public interest in the subject, given the evolution of B.C.’s laws governing alcohol. Framed against modern attitudes, some of the old laws seem downright bizarre and would surprise most people today that they even existed. For example, how many people know that vodka (today’s most popular distilled spirit) was banned in B.C. until 1960? Or that music was only permitted

VIEW FROM THE LEDGE Keith Baldrey

in drinking establishments in 1954? Sunday openings only became legal as a pilot project for Expo 86, and that was the year that import draft beer was first available. Women were prevented from working in government liquor stores until 1962. But some odd laws still remain on the books, and I suspect many will disappear after Yap’s review becomes legislation. Licensees currently can’t change their prices during the day, which means no “happy hour” specials, a common attraction in most U.S. establishments. I’m betting that rule will be relaxed. As well, licensed clubs (such as a Legion) have to prepare their own food on site and are not allowed to contract that service out, which seems unreasonable, if not archaic. Did you know liquor tastings can only be done using plastic cups instead of glasses? Or that you can’t take a drink from a bar into a restaurant, even if the two establishments are adjoining? Most of these rules and regulations fall into the red tape category and may be more easily dealt with than other, more complex issues that have come up in the review. The various stakeholders in the liquor industry — pubs, restaurants, private liquor stores, breweries, wineries, etc. — all have positions on a number of reforms they’d like to see implemented,

or perhaps blocked. A number of them are contradictory as well. There seems to be a general consensus that B.C. has enough outlets — public and private — that dispense alcohol, although B.C.’s wine and craft brewer industries would like more access and visibility in the marketplace. But there is one huge exception: Yap’s review has found the number one hot button issue is that people want the convenience of buying wine or beer in their local grocery story. The idea is viewed with considerable alarm by pubs and private store owners, who have invested huge amounts of capital in their operations and don’t want to be threatened by a mom and pop grocery on the corner. This is just one of the more controversial issues Yap will have to address when he hands in his recommendations to Attorney-General Suzanne Anton next month. Another is that pub owners argue the pendulum has swung too far in favour of restaurants, and want the playing field levelled (one idea they are pushing for: allowing minors on the premises during the day, to join a parent for lunch, perhaps). Then there are the medical and law enforcement communities, which understandably are pushing back against any major loosening of rules that would make alcohol easier to obtain. So how far will the B.C. Liberal government go in this sensitive area? Talking about LNG and the economy is easy. But mixing alcohol with politics is a more potent cocktail, which is why the government will find it easier to cut red tape rather than make wholesale changes when it comes to booze. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

LETTERS PREVENTION IS THE KEY

October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is coming to an end. But some of the cancerlinked toxins keep on flourishing, especially as temperatures drop, in the form of wood-smoke emissions from wood-fuelled fireplaces. Lung and respiratory diseases are also contributed to by wood smoke, and so are heart attacks and stroke. The smoke emissions of one wood-burning fireplace can pollute an entire neighbourhood and can put people at risk; and this health risk can be multiplied by second-hand tobacco smoke. Here, too, cancer may be the end result, putting smokers at risk — and the people breathing this second-hand smoke. By now it is common knowledge that smoking tobacco can kill, and will, more often than not. But still manufacturers keep producing this poison and trap people to indulge, whether it makes them sick or others; and again, cancer is the key word. Cancer has brought much grief to so many families, not only through breast cancer but other strains as well, and year after year

millions of dollars are raised for cancer research and many of these donations will be in vain if cancercausing agents in our environment remain. I believe that now is the time to have a more serious look into preventive measures at the home base, while scientists are looking for a cure. Prevention is, in many circumstances, the key. And each and every one of us has the opportunity to participate. You and I have the power and ability to bring about a change and eliminate some of the suffering that is brought forth by cancer. All levels of government and authorities of health departments seem to have failed us by not setting stricter guidelines, which could have prevented many cancer cases. Cancer can strike any time, anyone. No one is immune to it. Brie Oishi Port Coquitlam

class, what did the Conservative government do? Blow the opportunity and show how out-of-touch they have grown with Canadians. Canadians are cynical. They are disappointed when the government says it is committed to accountability and transparency, but has lost five caucus members to scandal. Of those, Senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau were all appointed by the prime minister. What does that say about his judgment and the example he is setting? Faced with political problems, the Tories are responding the only way they know how, with political solutions. But none of it helps our struggling middle class. Despite all our progress, middle-class families have not had a real raise in decades. As incomes have stagnated while costs have risen, families have taken on more and more debt. As a share of disposable income, they now have more debt than families in the United States. Parents are worried that no matter how hard they work, they will not be able to give their children the same opportunities their parents gave to them. The Conservatives claim leadership on the economy, but what are their results? Prime Minister Harper has the worst record on

growth of any prime minister since R.B. Bennett in the depths of the Great Depression. Ten consecutive budget surpluses have turned into seven consecutive deficits. Our national debt has ballooned more than $150 billion in just eight years. Too many workers are unemployed or can only find part-time positions. Youth underemployment is persistently high, scarring the next generation as they start their careers. The Conservatives are so disconnected that instead of addressing these challenges, they used the opening of a new session of Parliament to throw Canadians a few baubles to try to buy them off with their own money. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. This is a party whose primary economic message is “It could be worse. Be happy that you don’t live in Spain.” They tell Canadians that expecting more from their leaders and themselves is a waste of time, naïve even. That kind of defeatism has no place in Canada. We need to restore hope and opportunity, not settle for mediocrity. MP Dominic LeBlanc Liberal Party of Canada House Leader

Port Moody police ask for $200K more

Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com

It’s never cheap to run a police force, but the increased costs to run the Port Moody Police Department next year won’t be as significant as in previous years. The department is looking for another couple hundred grand to add to its 2014 budget, but that figure is less than half of what the force was asking for at this time last year. According to the provisional 2014 police board budget, presented to council recently, the department is looking for an increase of $201,624. The preliminary police budget is estimated to be $9.4 million, up from $9.2 million in 2013, or a 2.19-per-cent overall increase. That increase is mainly due to a jump

Joining IHIT cost the department $193,000, including the cost for a full member on the team for $107,400, The city would have paid that out to the VPD anyway, leaving a net increase of $85,000. Some of the other items in the budget include increased labour costs, utilities and inflation. The department had just signed on to join the VPD’s homicide team at the start of 2012, but after three gang-related shootings that year, the agreement was terminated earlier in 2013. Under the agreement with the VPD, the city paid $150,000 annually and assigned an CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

significantly better than several of the previous budgets, pointing out increases of between five and seven per cent in past years. “It’s a good budget for police,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. Last year, the city was looking at a $650,000 increase to the police budget, or 7.48 per cent from 2012. The city eventually pared down the increase to $260,000 for 2013. In September, Port Moody police announced they had joined the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response team.

Halloween displays aim to thrill and chill

f you’re still not sure where to take the kids on Halloween night — or are looking for a scene scary enough for adults, check out these displays created by local residents. As well, Lougheed Town Centre will host indoor trickor-treating for kids 12 and younger from 4 to 5 p.m. on Halloween night.

Coquitlam

• 2980 Cape Crt. — Sandy Olynyk has been hosting a display for years. He has thousands of dollars worth of animated props, lights and fog machines and enlists volunteers each Halloween to help run the show. He’s still looking for more volunteers this year, and can be contacted at sandylands@shaw.ca.

Whether you’re looking for a kid-friendly or frightening Halloween display, you’ll find it this year in the Tri-Cities. Donations will be collected for Eagle Ridge Hospital. This

display is open on Oct. 31 only.

Open House November 3

Selina Robinson, MLA Coquitlam-Maillardville Constituency Ofﬁce

“Please join me November 3rd between 1 pm and 3 pm at 102-1108 Austin Avenue. I look forward to seeing you there.”

• 3108 Starlight Way — The Shaw family has set up a display in their garage and yard that Jay Shaw says takes about five minutes to walk through. It is also wheelchair accessible. The display, which is open from 6 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 31 only, features 10 live actors and a “haunted castle” theme. This neighbourhood (the Starlight and Palmdale area in Ranch Park) was voted one of the top locations for trick-ortreaters in Metro Vancouver, based on a region-wide trickor-treat count published in the Vancouver Sun in 2012. The area attracted about 500 ghouls and goblins last year. Shaw’s display accepts donations for the Autism Society of BC. It’s described as being for all ages, but “scary.” • 1838 Haversley Ave. — David Ciarniello is hosting his first fundraiser for Variety, but is an old pro when it comes to haunted houses. He’s spent years collecting and building dozens of props, including technically complicated animatronics. And when Ken McLean of Halloween Alley on North Road heard he was fundraising for Variety, he told him to borrow whatever he needed for the display. Entrance is by donation, and the display will be open tonight (Wednesday) and Halloween

night, from 6 to 9 p.m., and will feature candy for the kids. This house is best suited to older kids and teens. • 2988 Forestridge Pl. — The Bilesky home will feature live monsters on Halloween, and the owners have changed up the display this year to make it different for repeat visitors. The lights will be tonight (Wednesday) and Halloween night, from 6 to 10 p.m. Donations will be collected for Variety — The Children’s Charity. • 443 Draycott St. — Vickie Ayers, a long-time fundraiser for Variety, offers a family-friendly haunted house that’s suitable for younger kids. Last year, her house raised more than $7,000 for kids with special needs, and she aims to top that number this year. The display is wheelchair accessible, and runs through Halloween, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Entrance is by donation, and there will be candy for the kids.

Port Coquitlam • 1924 Westminster Ave. — Betty Owen and Phil Crawford are hosting their annual creepy monster and spider display from 6 to 9 p.m. nightly. Donations will be accepted for the SPCA.

Group has Halloween costume advice

Looking for a last-minute Halloween costume for yourself or your child? The Children of the Street Society is once again reminding parents and schools about Halloween costumes that glamorize human trafficking and sexual exploitation and that sexualize youth. The sexual exploitation of children and youth, a devastating form of human trafficking, is a serious concern in our society today, according to a press release from the society. The average age of entry into the sex trade in Canada is 12 to 14 years old. Dressing up as a “pimp” or “ho” glamorizes the sexual exploitation of children and youth, which is a form of abuse and modern-day slavery. In reality, the sexual exploitation of children and youth leads to multiple, long-term disadvantages to the victim, including homelessness, mental illness, drug and/or alcohol addiction, sexually transmitted infections, HIV and AIDS, drug-affected infants, post traumatic stress syndrome from physical, emotional and sexual abuse, social stigma and barriers to future employment. Young people are recruited into exploitive situations for a variety of reasons, from false promises, gifts, addiction, coercion or control. Boys and girls can be recruited anywhere, including school grounds, shopping malls, transit and particularly online through social networking sites and chat rooms. Sexual exploitation also includes the issue of child sexual abuse images. Due to the prevalence of online activity, image sharing and online facilitated sexual exploitation has significantly increased. In fact, Cybertip.ca reported that over 93 per cent of cases involved suspects making specific requests for images, with the largest number of threats involving the distribution of existing images of the victim. “Once again we are asking the community to be socially responsible by wearing Halloween costumes which do not glamorize human trafficking, sexual exploitation and sexualize our children and youth,” said Diane Sowden, executive director of the Children of the Street Society. “We’re also asking children,

encouraging children, youth and adults to choose appropriate costumes that represent their own individuality and creativity.

and the risk of death. Instead of buying Halloween costumes focused on pimps, gangsters or sex trade workers, the society is

also made false promises of money, power, respect, a sense of family and protection — promises that lead to violence, criminal activity

With troubling similarities between recruitment into a life of sexual exploitation, youth who are recruited into the gang lifestyle are

youth and adults to take the notion of social responsibility one step further by not wearing costumes which glamorize the gang lifestyle.”

MLA plans open house Newly elected MLA Selina Robinson will host her first constituency open house on Sunday, Nov. 3, from 1 to 3 p.m. “I’m delighted to welcome everyone to my newly renovated office,” Robinson said. “I’m hoping to meet many new constituents as well as old friends at this familyfriendly event.”

Guests will also be able to select their favourite wines enjoyed during the tasting and order mixed cases at the event through the new Port Moody Liquor Store. “The continuing success of the Best of BC Wines Uncorked in the Tri-Cities is due to the emergence of a genuine wine culture outside of Vancouver,” wine expert and Tri-Cities NOW wine columnist John Gerum said. “Local residents are truly interested in learning and trying new wines and sharing their newfound knowledge with friends and family, adding to the enjoyment that life offers. “The Best of BC Wines Uncorked is delighted to offer guests a wine experience that adds to our emerging wine culture.” Local performers Chico and Jarred will play their mix of jazz, Latin, pop and blues-infused music, while attendees will also be able to sample savoury dishes from Natural Pastures Cheese Company, Martins Marvelous Naturals, Tri-Cities Tasters, COBS Bread, Marketplace IGA and Pasta Polo Restaurant, all sponsors of the event.

jdeutsch@thenownews.com School District 43 officials knew they would have to make cuts to deal with a ballooning deficit, and on Tuesday employees and the public learned just how deep the reductions will be once the budget is done. To make up for a $12.1-million projected operating deficit for the 2013/2014 school year, the district is looking at cutting six per cent of its staff across the board. More specifically, it’s proposing to cut 142 pos-

itions within the district. A further breakdown of the numbers has the district cutting 81 teachers, 19 teacher assistants/special education assistants/youth workers along with 32 clerical/custodial/IT and facilities positions and 10 from administration. The staffing cuts add up to $11.5 million in savings. Some of the positions being cut will be offset by attrition, with as many as 30 staff in various positions already putting in their retirement papers for the end of the year. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Fox, Cents back on winning terms

Dan OLSON sports@thenownews.com Putting last week’s tough loss behind them, the Terry Fox Ravens demonstrated Friday that they are serious about contending in the B.C. High School AAA football playoffs. By besting the No. 2-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers 21-10, Fox has a good shot at returning among the top-three in the next provincial rankings. And more importantly, it establishes that last week’s turnovers were an aberration. “It was an important step, coming off the St. Thomas More (loss),” noted Ravens co-coach Tom Kudaba. “Our offence didn’t turn the ball over as we addressed the things we needed to in practice and the players brought that to the game.” While they trailed early when Tweedsmuir cashed in a field goal, Terry Fox charged right back and took the lead on Mike West’s 24-yard dash. The Surrey squad, who entered the game unbeaten, answered back on Jamel Lyles’ three-yard major to make it 10-7 at the half. Then the Ravens defence went to work the rest of the way. Limiting Tweedsmuir to just 50 yards and two first downs over the second half, the PoCo crew took control and gave the offence good field position to work from. Quarterback Conner McKee hit Adrial Sellers for a six-yard score that gave Fox a 13-10 advantage, followed by a 14-yard bootleg by McKee. “The one consistent thing all year has been our defence’s ability to keep us in every game,” said Kudaba. “The boys showed that we can play with anybody.” West, who returned to the lineup after missing the past two games, racked up six tackles, a pair of assists and a QB sack on defence, while carrying the ball 13 times for 66 yards. Also posting six tackles was Kyle Miller, while Jason Shamatutu added five takedowns. McKee completed 10 of 16 pass attempts for 92 yards, while scampering for 55 yards on 11 carries. The 5-1 Ravens now visit Kelowna on Friday. While Fox will be heading to the Okanagan, the Centennial Centaurs have returned with just what the doctor ordered — a healthy win. Centennial defeated Rutland 44-28 and ended a two-game losing skid and improve to 3-3 in Eastern Conference standings.

SPORTS SHORTS BOXER SLUGS SILVER

Coquitlam’s Sara Haghighat-Joo emerged from the boxing ring at the Elite National championships in Regina with a silver medal. The 19-year-old’s ability to stand toe-to-toe with reigning Canadian champion Mandy Bujold was hampered by an injured foot, but the Maple Ridge Boxing Club member held her own in a decision in the flyweight final. A member of Team B.C., Haghighat-Joo advanced to the final by besting Amanda Galle in a split decision. Her brother Sasan, 17, was eliminated in the opening round in a split decision.

GORD GOBLE/NOW

Centennial running back J.P. Kalambay, shown above in a game against New Westminster, rushed for 266 yards Friday in Kelowna in his team’s 44-28 win. Powered by J.P. Kalambay’s 266-yard performance, which involved just 12 carries and resulted in two touchdowns, the Cents grabbed a solid lead early and never looked back. “J.P. was able to make make plays from his vision and patience in looking for the right seam to hit,” remarked Cents coach Simon Quinto. “(Quarterback Nick Okamoto) also did a great

job of keeping the defence honest.” Okamoto completed six of nine pass attempts for 90 yards, hitting Jordan Kennedy for two majors. Kennedy would also add a 75-yard kick-off return for a TD. Centennial’s next test is Friday in Cloverdale against 5-1 Lord Tweedsmuir.

RAYNES NETS WINNER CYCLIST JUST PIPPY

Midfielder Ashley Raynes delivered the exclamation mark in his team’s championiship win Sunday in Nanaimo. The Thompson Rivers University Wolf Pack soccer player was named the player of the game after netting the decisive marker in their 2-1 triumph over Vancouver Island University in the PacWest men’s B.C. final. The final went to penalty kicks, where the Coquitlam native delivered a dramatic strike to the lower corner to give the Wolf Pack its first title since 2007. The fourth-year student athlete, a Centennial alum, had opened the scoring early in the second half. Thompson Rivers now advances to the Canadian nationals.

Dressed like Pippi Longstocking, Coquitlam’s Sandra Walter did what she always does — raced like a pro en route to the elite women’s division title at last weekend’s seventh annual Pumpkin Cross race in Maple Ridge, leading from start to finish. “I’ve raced every edition of the Pumpkin Cross and this is the biggest I’ve ever seen it,” she said. “It felt like a big party out there...” Walter, a three-time Canada Cup series champion, finished ahead of Kelly Jones of North Vancouver. In September, Walter became just the second woman ever to complete the 268-kilometre, one-day Tour of the Dragon race in the Kingdom of Bhutan.

FOX FLATTENS CENTS

With a .600 batting average, Jan Cabrera is making like the Boston Red Sox’s David Ortiz — without the baseball bat. The Terry Fox Ravens junior football player converted three of his five carries for touchdowns, leading the charge as his team trounced district rival Centennial 50-0 last week. Cabrera’s majors covered six, 35 and 30 yards, and included the first two of the game. He rushed for 81 yards in the contest. Quarterback Jake Laberge was equally as hot, completing six of seven pass attempts for 139 yards and three majors. He hit Brandon Shanley for a pair, from 14 and 44 yards out, and connected with Maleek Womack on a 29-yard score.

Visitors continue to thrive on Express ice Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com As a preamble to Halloween, the Coquitlam Express may need to rent some of those ‘Zombie Hotdog’ costumes, as seen on TV, to put the mustard back in their game. For a club that had established one of the quickest, uptempo and dangerous attacks over the first 15 games of the 2013-14 B.C. Hockey League season, Coquitlam showed little flash and even less pushback in getting outscored 20-8 over three consecutive losses. Sunday’s 4-3 setback to the Chilliwack Chiefs at the Poirier Sports Centre added salt to a burning wound that is their 1-6-0-2 home ice record, and came on the heels of a 4-3 loss Friday to West Kelowna. Earlier, Coquitlam was unceremoniously spanked 122 in Langley on Thursday to

them and out-chanced them start the weekend slide. In both home ice defeats, during much of the game but the Express held the lead just seemed to lose confidence and were in control until the in the third, and a soft goal kind of took the air out of us.” wheels fell off.

Coquitlam looks to get on ner with 22 seconds left on track Friday when it hosts the the clock. On Sunday, Coquitlam blew Alberni Valley Bulldogs, 7 p.m. a 3-1 lead with a shaky third, at the Poirier Sports Centre. As part of a league-wide despite having held a decisive edge in shots and puck posses- project, the Express’ game will be Five Hole for Food sion over the first 40 minutes. “It was a tough one to lose, Challenge night, where the that’s for sure,” head coach public is encouraged to bring Barry Wolff said of Sunday’s donations for the local fooddecision. “We out-worked bank.

Cents earn Valley ticket

With the season on the line, Rob Zambrano had a sense that his team would be money. The Centennial Centaurs survived a critical wildcard matchup by topping the North Delta Huskies 3-2 in penalty kicks Monday to advance to the 16-team Fraser Valley senior boys soccer tournament, which began Tuesday (past the Tri-Cities NOW deadline). “It was a tight game right from the get-go,” said Zambrano, the squad’s coach. “We had the lead, they tied it, they took the lead and we tied it… In penalty kicks they were very calm. “I just told them to enjoy it, because what could the worst case be? They wouldn’t be

playing [Tuesday].” All four Centaur shooters in penalty kicks found the back of the net, while netminder Jake Sundar made a crucial game-changing save on North Delta’s first kick. Matteo Mota and Abhinav Bhatta scored in regulation, with Bhatta’s tally coming with five minutes left to force penalty kicks. The Valleys began yesterday with Centennial drawing No. 1-seeded Dr. Charles Best, No. 5rated Heritage Woods hosted Sullivan Heights, and Terry Fox playing Fraser Heights. Pinetree travelled to Surrey to play No. 4seed L.A. Matheson.
