The Tri-CiTy News

www.tricitynews.com

He was one of the youngest politicians ever to be elected to federal office in Canada. And over the course of 15 years, James Moore handily won five terms and served a number of cabinet roles. Now, Moore, who announced earlier this year he would not run for re-election said he just wants to stay put. What’s he looking forward to the most? “Not getting on a plane every three days,” the former Conservative MP said, laughing. “It’s the security, the bags, the plane ride, being reminded how to do up your seatbelt every time.” While the frequent flyer won’t miss the travel, Moore, 39, said he’s sorry to see his party — and his “dear friend” Stephen Harper — out of government. Internal polls had shown Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was the biggest threat to the Tories nationally, Moore said. Speaking at the Conservative election night party Monday at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club in Coquitlam, Moore told The Tri-City News he had hoped Canadians would remember how Harper had

LASER MAY BE THE ANSWER. WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY

COLOUR OF THE YEAR 2016

Simply Said,

SIMPLY WHITE OC-117

OSTEOARTHRITIS KNEE The treatment was very comfortable - with no side effects. I found relief after just a few treatments. I am completely pain free now and stairs are not a problem. S.B (80) KNEE INSTABILITY I have had a significant reduction of my pain. Now I can run and coach my son’s soccer team relatively pain free. R.F (52) ARTHRITIS KNEE

COLOUR TRENDS 2016

My experience with Laser Light Therapy was excellent. After 10 treatments the pain has basically disappeared. D.M

MEDIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT STRAIN - KNEE PAIN I had injured my right knee on the stairs and for 6 months my knee was catching,painful and very loose. After several laser treatments the pain was practically eliminated and the ligaments relaxed enough for full range of motion to return. V.S (52) KNEE PAIN I was diagnosed with serious Arthritis issues in both knees. Other treatments (physio, injections) gave only marginal improvements. I’ve had about six half hour treatments for each knee and I can’t believe the results. I feel almost no knee pain or stiffness and can sleep without pain pills. G.S (65)

WHO CAN BENEFIT?

BioFlex Low Intensity Laser Therapy is an effective solution for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions, dermatological problems and the healing of open wounds. BioFlex therapy can safely increase the rate of recovery and help patients reduce the need for pain medication. BioFlex also has the ability to promote rapid recovery post surgery. The beneficial effects of LILT are cumulative over the course of a series of treatments.

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Not-quite voters in the TriCities were caught up by the same enthusiasm for Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party as their elder counterparts, according to Student Vote 2015. The national student engagement project, which encouraged young people under voting age to cast ballots for candidates in their ridings for a separate vote count Oct. 13 to 16 at their schools, ended up with results similar to the final federal numbers posted Monday. Locally, in CoquitlamPort Coquitlam, Liberal Ron McKinnon came out the winner in Student Vote 2015, mirroring the actual vote in the riding. In Port MoodyCoquitlam, local students voted mostly for Jessie Adcock, also with the Liberals, unlike the actual federal vote, in which she polled second to NDP MP Fin Donnelly. Provincially, the majority of students voted for the federal Liberals, who took 36.59% of the student vote, compared to 23.72% for the New Democrats and 19.22% for the Conservative Party.

2015 FEDERAL ELECTION

Red wave washes McKinnon to Ottawa SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

The Tri-Cities’ political landscape shifted into the red in the new Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam riding as voters threw their support behind Liberal candidate Ron McKinnon in Monday’s federal election. In a riding that saw a 67.3% voter turnout, McKinnon grabbed a 35.1% share of the pie (19,869 votes), followed closely by Conservative candidate and former Coquitlam-Burke Mountain MLA Doug Horne (BC Liberal), who garnered 18,083 votes (31.9%). “I wasn’t expecting it but I wasn’t expecting to fail either,” McKinnon said as his supporters cheered him at his Shaughnessy Street campaign office Monday evening. “You go in giving it your best shot, you hope for the best and you do everything you can to make it happen.” A big part of that strategy was sticking to the Liberals’ upbeat message, one that McKinnon feels resonated strongly with voters during the 11-week campaign, and staying focused on the party’s platform instead of veering to digs against opposing candidates. “We worked hard at this for a long time, we’ve had a strong presence in the community and I’ve had a presence in the community for some time,” said McKinnon, who is also vice-president of the Evergreen Cultural Centre board. “We had a positive message… about what we can achieve, what we

can be as Canadians and how we can fit into that grand vision as a community.” McKinnon supporters who were cheering on their candidate also spoke of his work ethic, noting he could often be found at his campaign office late into Saturday nights and always willing to speak with voters who dropped by, his passionate interest in parliamentary matters as a “policy wonk” and his deep commitment to serving the riding. Up at the Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club — celebration headquarters for Conservative candidates Horne and Tim Laidler (Port MoodyCoquitlam) — the mood was sombre, and surprised. “Trudeau-mania swept in,” Horne said of the red wave that took over the nation and the Coquitlam-PoCo riding. Resigned to federal defeat, Horne didn’t rule out a return to provincial politics, saying he enjoyed representing the Coquitlam-Burke Mountain area on the B.C. stage He also thanked the more than 100 volunteers who worked on his federal campaign, saying he was appreciative of their efforts. “Tonight is not a sad night, it’s a celebratory night to thank these volunteers,” Horne said among supporters that included outgoing MP James Moore, former BC Liberal MLA Iain Black, Coquitlam Coun. Dennis Marsden, PoMo Mayor Mike Clay and Anmore Mayor John McEwen, as well

as Conservative Senator Yonah Martin. Coquitlam-PoCo NDP candidate Sara Norman, a former broadcast journalist and firsttime candidate, was with supporters at her PoCo campaign office as the numbers rolled in on election night and said it was a similar feeling despite being on the other side of the microphone. “Getting the numbers… it’s exciting,” she said after a long last day of door-knocking with volunteers. “We did everything we could and I had an amazing team. There’s been so much momentum here today and I’m really happy I could be here with so many amazing people.” Voters sent 15,463 votes (27.3%) her way, enough for a solid third-place finish. And although disappointed with the loss, Norman congratulated McKinnon on his win and expressed relief that the Conservatives were ousted. “It really shows the last 10 years, the Harper government was not listening to people,” Norman said. For now, McKinnon is coming to grips with his new reality as MP-elect — when the new job starts, fielding calls from Ottawa property owners already seeking new political tenants and keeping his finger on the pulse of local residents. “I’m looking forward to being able to earn the trust people have put in me.” spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC – with files from Janis Warren

Fin returns with fewer NDP friends Liberals’ Adcock places second in PoMo-Coq. race DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

NDP MP-elect Fin Donnelly vows to hold the new Liberal government’s feet to the fire on greenhouse gas emission targets to control climate change when he heads to Ottawa, this time at the behest of Port Moody-Coquitlam voters, a new riding in the Tri-Cities. Environmental policies and climate change were hotbutton issues for Donnelly, a fisheries department critic in the last Parliament, and so it was no surprise he raised the issue in his thank you speech Monday night at Pasta Polo restaurant in Coquitlam. The evening started out as a nail-biter, a three-way race, in which the outcome was uncertain until about 9 p.m., when Donnelly was clearly ahead; the final polls gave him 35.8% of the vote. “We talked to people about things that mattered to them, fighting climate change, protecting our environment, affordable housing, child care

TIM LAIDLER and jobs for young people,” Donnelly said, after first congratulating his opponents: Liberal Jessie Adcock, who came second with 30.7%; Conservative candidate Tim Laidler, who was third with 29.9%; and Green Party candidate Marcus Madsen, who was fourth with 3.4%. Donnelly admitted that the Liberal sweep across Canada hurt the NDP cause, noting that he lost a few “good colleagues” that night but he vowed to push ahead on climate change targets. Meanwhile, Adcock’s supporters, who watched the numbers on a big screen TV at the Brew Street pub in Port Moody, appeared happy with her party’s sweep but their enthusiasm was tempered with the Port Moody-Coquitlam candidate’s

COQUITLAM.CA/ENVIROEVENTS

results. Adcock was ahead of Conservative Laidler, part of the Liberal surge in B.C., but it was not enough to win. “Once we hit some critical mass, the momentum shifted” toward a three-way race, Adcock said, and she said the Liberals’ promise to spend $60 billion in infrastructure over 10 years was a key platform that drew in supporters. “Housing, social and green infrastructure, those are things that need to be done now,” said Adcock, who will likely be returning to her job as chief digital officer for the city of Vancouver, from which she took a leave to run. Conservatives who gathered at Westwood Plateau were glum despite the balloons and the buffet, to see their party lose so many seats nationally. Supporters wearing blue were in disbelief as the numbers rolled in on the giant TV screens above the stage. Laidler said he was “obviously disappointed” at the results, but feeling great. “We left it all on the field,” he said, thanking his volunteers, and promised to continue to advocate for veterans.

Port Coquitlam city council is taking measures to ensure it doesn’t run over budget on a capital works project again. This week, the city’s finance committee voted to implement a new policy as a result of the Burns Road water main project, which came in $365,000 over the initial cost. The hefty price tag of $925,000 for the entire job prompted a few councillors to call for accountability from city managers. Mayor Greg Moore said he, like many councillors, took heat from the community when the overruns were revealed at the Oct. 5 meeting. Still, he said the new Budget Transfer Authority Financial Policy will allow for more transparency as council goes into budget deliberations early next year. And any large variances will be highlighted rather than buried among the line items. “At the end of the day, it’s all about accountability so it’s not shovelled off here, shovelled off there,” said Coun. Dean Washington, chairperson of the

of the new recreation centre tender. Mayor Moore said a twomonth setback in capital budget talks is preferable given the magnitude of the recreation centre rebuild. Bids for that project closed earlier this month.

sifications will be introduced for project budgeting, a new Agresso finance management system will be fully in place to replace the city’s old accounting software and to track costs better, and quarterly variance reports will be presented to council. Further, council will be notified of any budget transfers between capital projects of more than $50,000 or 10%, Meersman said, and it will get reports when public works are complete. “I’m still missing the idea of a ‘gut check,’” Coun. Mike Forrest told the committee Monday. “It’s not to difficult to know when things are going awry… I don’t want to get fouled with more bureaucracy.” “This is how we can get better systemically,” chief administrative officer John Leeburn countered, noting the new pol-

According to a report from Kristen Meersman, PoCo’s director of engineering and operations, who wore a Kevlar vest — an actual bullet-proof vest — when she announced the $365,000 figure to council, steps are underway to ensure future public works are managed and within the guidelines. The engineering department has been restructured to increase the focus on capital projects. Previously, it fell under the manager of projects, budgets and mapping portfolio while the other engineering manager handled only transportation issues. Meersman said the latter position has expanded to the role of manager of infrastructure planning while the former is solely the manager of capital projects. As well, new estimate clas-

OUR OPINION

Don’t disappoint young, new voters, Mr. Trudeau I

n addition to running the country, Liberal leader and prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau has another special responsibility: Not letting down the many young people who voted for him and his party. There is no question that some of the red ink that poured across Canada Monday night was spilled by young voters, many of them first-timers, who put an X beside a Liberal candidate on a promise of “real change” and hope. Demographers will have more data once all the polls results are scrutinized but, judging by the campaigns run in the TriCities, more young people were engaged. Locally, students at 60 Tri-City public schools that participated in Student Vote 15 voted for

thing that none of the other leaders did: a sense of optimism that Canada could be better. Social media may also have been responsible for getting young people out to vote and there is no question Trudeau’s message was widely disbursed on Twitter and Facebook. While the other parties also took those platforms seriously, it may have been the Conservative endorsements by Canada’s major daily newspapers and Conservative ads wrapping those same newspapers — futile efforts, it turns out — that showed that old campaigners were out of step with youthful idealism. As a coming-of-age election, the Liberals have a lot to teach young voters. Let’s hope they live up to the expectations. @TriCityNews

GARBAGE DISPOSAL

A little web magic by Waste Wizard helps PoMo resident The Editor, Re. “Cities need easy guides on garbage for residents” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 30). After I expressed frustration, in the above-referenced letter to the editor last month, about being unable to find helpful information on how to recycle stuff, I received a phone call from a Port Moody city employee. This helpful person told me about the Waste Wizard at the city of Port Moody’s web site (www.portmoody.ca/wastewizard).

Letter writer Derek Wilson found the Waste Wizard tool on the city of Port Moody website useful. A user types the name of the item to be disposed into the Waste Wizard entry box and clicks on Search. I tried “fluorescent tube,” “acrylic paint” and “dog waste”

and received appropriate and helpful information in both cases. When I queried “brake fluid,” the wizard advised that it couldn’t find an answer but

ondary school and a very busy leisure centre, plus Dogwood Pavilion and other activities, in the area, the new sidewalk and traffic improvements are welcomed. Second is the much-needed, long overdue work going

ahead on the Mundy Park washrooms. I never thought I’d see the day. Our thanks to council and staff. Instead of a ribbon cutting, perhaps we could use a roll of toilet paper. Brian Robinson, Coquitlam

TRI-CITY SCHOOLS

Can ‘hangry’ teens learn well enough?

The Editor, Did you know that any number of high school students in School District 43 go without lunch until after 2 p.m.? It’s called Block 5 lunch, part of the wonders of the semester system. Did you know that there’s likely a similar number of students who are stuck with Block 1 lunch? It means they can sleep in every day but once they are at school, they are not entitled to a lunch break until school lets out, sometime after 3 p.m. Of course, students are entitled to snack in class, as long as they don’t disturb the teacher, but most students find it impossible to snack around gym class and unwise to do so during chemistry. Maybe these students should all take foods class, instead, so they can eat what is cooked in school. Breaks between blocks are down to a leisurely three minutes, making it impossible to digest on the run. My observation has been that young, growing bodies are

always hungry. But now many high school students are made actually to feel hungrier during school time in their senior years. I guess it’s called planning: Hunger concentrates the mind. The answer to raging hormones is to not feed teenagers. The idea is that youth will be so delirious with famine, they won’t be tempted by street drugs: they will instead be overwhelmed by more basic concerns. But do you ever stop to wonder why teenagers want to rebel against adult authority? There is even now a word for it: “hangry.” Our school district apparently values efficient kids in expanded classes with shrinking stomachs. Students are told performance and grades matter but do they matter as full persons? They seem to be considered half-citizens and half child labour, especially in the light of sometimes oppressive homework loads. Meanwhile, school board administrators get lunch at a reasonable time.

CRIME IN THE TRI-CITIES

Chand gets probation for mail, ID theft PoCo man was previously jailed for similar crimes SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A Port Coquitlam man who was facing identity theftrelated charges for the second time has been sentenced to

two years’ probation. Alvin Chand was charged in February after Coquitlam RCMP searched a Citadel Heights home, where they found the makings of a fake credit card factory — equipment for creating and altering identity and credit cards, hundreds of pieces of stolen mail, a loaded handgun and other weapons, ammunition, cash, drugs and stolen property.

Last week, he pleaded guilty to theft of mail and identity theft, and was handed a twoyear probation term for each charge, along with the nine months he spent in custody up to that point. A firearms charge and possessing instruments to forge or falsify credit cards, as well as a mischief charge, were stayed. In early 2013, Chand was the subject of a similar investiga-

tion, when a search warrant was executed at his Citadel Heights home and police found equipment to make credit cards and personal IDs, as well as stolen mail, guns and drugs. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a year in jail and a year of probation. When he was released in early 2014, officers with Coquitlam RCMP’s Prolific Target Team noticed a spike

stolen clothes were a giveaway as suspect busted for break-in A Port Coquitlam man is facing several charges after allegedly trying to cash a stolen cheque while wearing clothes stolen in the same break-in. According to Coquitlam RCMP, two men broke into a vehicle parked outside a home in the 1200-block of Coast Meridian Road early Oct. 13. Using the garage door opener from the car, the suspects allegedly stole several items from the garage, including lacrosse clothing and chequebooks. Hearing noises from the garage, a resident of the home investigated, then chased the suspects. When he lost sight of them, he called police, who

were unable to locate the two men. Several hours later, a cheque-cashing business contacted the resident to confirm the legitimacy of a cheque presented for cashing; he called police, who arrived at the business and located a man who was wearing lacrosse clothing allegedly stolen in the break-in earlier that day. Joseph D’Antonio, 24, faces a charge of possession of stolen property; additional charges may be forthcoming. His next court appearance is on Nov. 2. Anyone with information on the crime is asked to call police at 604-945-1550 and quote file

number 2015-34729.

NO DETAILS

Coquitlam RCMP are remaining tight-lipped about a police incident that had a portion of Plateau Boulevard closed off for most of the day last Friday. The road was closed to cars and restricted for pedestrians from early Friday morning until just after 6:30 p.m. between Chartwell Green and Paddock Drive. A press release issued in the afternoon stated residents who were driving home to the area would have to find a spot outside the perimeter and walk the rest of the way. They were

asked to show an officer ID with an address in the neighbourhood to gain access. According to police, the incident did not present a threat to public safety but there was no explanation given as to why it was necessary to restrict access to the area. On Monday, Cpl. Jamie Chung declined to provide further details. “Because it is not a criminal matter, nothing was at risk and safety was not at risk, and we resolved the situation without anybody getting hurt we have to follow the privacy act and not say anything,” he said.

Coquitlam trims – slightly – planned costs for birthday

$61,000 cut from $915,000 plan

GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam has scaled back plans for its 125th birthday in an effort to contain costs but the budget changes are slight and the bulk of the events and legacy programs will remain intact, according to staff. Raul Allueva, the general manager of parks and recreation, told The Tri-City News some trimming brought the overall budget down from an estimated $915,000 to $854,000. The new figure falls within the $720,000 to $870,000 range council approved last January. “The goal was to try and scale some of the elements down,” said Allueva, comparing the cuts to a meal where the number of courses stay the same, just with smaller portions. “Rather than take out a whole piece, we just tried to trim a number of the components to bring it within the original range.” Some of the savings came from pulling $14,000 out of the sponsorship budget while another $14,000 was taken out of marketing and promotion for the festivities. The city also trimmed its budget for the salmon legacy project, saving $3,500, while $15,000 was taken out of the $69,000 originally dedicated for block parties and neighbourhood night celebrations. The Kaleidoscope Festival, which is seen as the signature event of the 125th birthday, also had its budget reduced slightly, from $204,000 to $201,000, while Lights at Lafarge will be $4,800 cheaper than originally planned, with a budget of $78,200. Council initially approved a range of $720,000 to $870,000 last January, before the program and legacy projects had been established. But when the final plan was presented at the beginning of October, a report said that staffing costs had pushed the overall price tag to $915,000. Allueva was asked by council to take the proposal back to the Coquitlam 125 Anniversary

Task Force to find some savings. Still, Coun. Mae Reid said she had concerns with the plan, although not with the total amount being spent but how the cash was being allocated. Initially, $130,000 was budgeted from the community capital fund, which is made up of money that comes from the city’s share of casino profits, while $386,000 came from the infrastructure reserve. Reid put forward an amendment to the report that was successfully passed by council that saw the numbers somewhat reversed, with $330,000 coming from the community capital fund and $186,000 from the infrastructure reserve. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

COQUITLAM

City to step up enforcement of animal/trash regulations GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Enforcement is being stepped up in Coquitlam for residents who are not properly securing their garbage and other animal attractants. According to city staff, bears and other wildlife are bulking up for the winter and could be more likely to become habituated to eating garbage. In some instances, animals that become accustomed to wandering into neighbourhoods and feasting on what they find have to be destroyed to protect public safety. Coquitlam hopes to avoid that outcome by calling on all residents to make sure wildlife can’t get at their food scraps and waste. City regulations state that garbage and green carts can only be left on the curb between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on collection day — not the night before. Residents who do not comply with the rules could face a $500 fine under the city’s solid waste bylaw. For more information about the city’s urban wildlife initiatives, go to www.coquitlam. ca/urbanwildlife or contact engineering customer service at 604-927-3500. Other Coquitlam news:

BLOOM AWARD

Coquitlam won a Five

Bloom Award for its entry in the Communities In Bloom competition, the highest honour a municipality can receive in the contest. Coquitlam’s entry earned a mark of 88% based on six categories — tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape and floral displays — across municipal, business, residential and community sectors. Judges visited the city for two days in August to conduct their assessment. According to a city press release, the contest was an opportunity to highlight some of the beautification efforts underway in the municipality. Initiatives launched in 2015 included the Scott Creek Community Garden, Coquitlam in Bloom events at Mackin, Victoria and Como Lake parks, and the Coquitlam Selfie Project. There was also a pop-up beach last summer at Blue Mountain Park. This was not the first year Coquitlam has participated in the Communities In Bloom competition. The city had an entry in the 1998 and 2002 contests, winning at the provincial level before moving on to national competition. Another entry will be made for the 2016 event to coincide with the city’s 125th birthday

NEW COMO LAKE PLAYGROUND PONDERED The playground at Como Lake Park may get an upgrade. Council supported a staff option that would see $200,000 spent on new equipment, site prep, levelling and the addition of fibre mulch playground surfacing. The cost also includes $25,000 for a new retaining wall. If all the necessary approvals are met, the playground would occupy the same 7,000 sq. ft. area on which it currently sits at the northeast corner of the park.

HOCKEY HERE

Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex is the home of the Coquitlam Express and the BCHL hockey club wants everyone to know it. That was the message from team spokesperson Mark Pettie, who initiated discussions with the city earlier this month to have the club’s logo emblazoned on the building. “We are just looking for something that tells who we are and identifies the building,” he said during a council-incommittee meeting. “It would help us advertise our brand and make people aware of our team in the community.” While no decision has been made, city staff said they would look into the potential cost and look of the sign. Several councillors at the meeting also said that other teams that call the facility home, including the Western Lacrosse Association’s Coquitlam Adanacs, should be consulted. One million people a year walk through the doors of the recreation complex to swim, skate, use the gym or watch sports, according to Pettie. That is a lot of eyes, he added, noting that not everyone is aware there is a BCHL club in Coquitlam. @gmckennaTC

You & The Law® COLLECTING YOUR DEBTS YOU AND THE LAW® COLLECTING YOUR DEBTS If you’ve ever loaned money to someone, you may have had trouble collecting your debt. And if you operate a business, getting some customers or clients to pay your accounts may be a problem. What can you do?

you the money. Is it Jack Smith personally or his company, Smith Supplies Ltd.? You can only collect from the right debtor. (If the debtor has moved or can’t be found, a professional investigator may be used to track them down.) Contracts, invoices and purchase orders will be reviewed as to what’s owed and for any mediation or arbitration clauses.

Businesses should have a collection procedure that kicks in routinely whenever accounts aren’t paid promptly. Don’t be shy about following up on unpaid bills. A personal phone call is often more effective than a standard overdue reminder.

A key step is sending a “demand” letter insisting the debtor pay the outstanding amount within a specified time (e.g., ten days) or risk further action. A demand on legal letterhead is often sufficient to prompt a reluctant debtor to pay up.

But beware of the Business Practices & Consumer Protection Act. It protects debtors from harassment. You can’t use threatening or intimidating language, or exert undue, excessive or unreasonable pressure on a debtor, his family or his employer.

If this doesn’t work, your lawyer can start a lawsuit (typically in Supreme Court for debts over $25,000). Debt actions often go undefended, resulting in a “default” judgment in your favour for relatively little expense.

If you don’t get results, you must decide if it’s worth going further to collect the debt. Sometimes it may make more sense to forget the whole thing and just not sell or lend money to that person again. But if you want to pursue the matter, you have several options. For debts $25,000 or under, you can sue in Small Claims Court. If you have questions about the procedure, your lawyer can help. Also consider hiring a collection agency. They typically charge a percentage of the amount they recover (so check that). But if they don’t recover anything, they usually don’t charge a fee. Or you may want to hire a lawyer, who will work to collect your money in the most economical way possible. Your lawyer will first figure out who actually owes

Judgment will entitle you to take legal steps to seize the debtor’s personal property or have wages or amounts in bank accounts paid into court to satisfy the outstanding debt. Steps can also be taken to register your judgment against land owned by the debtor and have that land sold to pay your judgment. If you’re not familiar with the debtor’s assets and financial affairs, the debtor can be questioned under oath to obtain more information. Your lawyer can assist you every step of the way.

ROAD SAFETY

B.C.’s drunk driving penalties upheld Supreme Court okays roadside prohibitions JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

Canada’s top court has upheld B.C.’s tough system of roadside penalties for impaired drivers, including vehicle impoundments, stiff fines and immediate 90-day licence suspensions. The Supreme Court of Canada handed down twin judgments Friday that back key elements of the provincial government’s policy after it was challenged by motorists. Justices said there was “no doubt” automatic roadside prohibitions are within the province’s jurisdiction and a valid regulatory measure. They rejected the argument of opponents that the penalties effectively create an offence that requires a right to a fair trial, not an instant decision by police after a failed blood-alcohol reading on a portable device. The court found the province’s “pressing and substantial” goal of enacting the scheme “was not to oust the criminal law, but rather to prevent death and serious injury on public

roads by removing drunk drivers and deterring impaired driving.” Roadside penalties have largely supplanted criminal investigations and prosecutions for impaired driving in B.C. The amount of time and money expended on drunk driving cases in the courts and by police is down because of the nearly 70 per cent drop in impaired charges. Police still pursue criminal charges in cases of injury or death due to drunk driving. Defence lawyers have criticized the immediate roadside prohibitions as a de facto decriminalization of most cases of impaired driving. Although drivers who are caught and punished at roadside face stiff sanctions, they do not usually risk an impaired driving conviction and criminal record. Also before the courts was the constitutionality of the compulsory demand to provide a breath sample or face roadside penalties. A majority of Supreme Court justices said the original 2010 provision did violate the Charter of Rights protection against unlawful search and seizure. The province amended its law in 2012 to allow drivers who fail a roadside breath test to take

a second test — the lowest of the two readings is used — and created a process for them to appeal driving prohibitions. “Our belief is that the amendments our government made in June 2012 already address the constitutional issues noted in the court’s decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. It’s not yet clear if drivers penalized in the first two years of the program could be compensated. Anton welcomed the ruling, adding immediate roadside prohibitions have been “very effective” and have saved an estimated 260 lives over the past five years. “People are learning from them, they’re not drinking and driving as much,” Anton said. “As soon as you blow that warn or that fail you will be penalized. And that is what deters people from drinking and driving. That’s what keeps our roads safe.” Defence lawyers intend to continue to challenge elements of the B.C. law that were not addressed by the top court. About 18,000 roadside prohibitions are issued each year and about two per cent are successfully challenged through the review process. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

Modern exhibit examines Ice Age effects in Port Coquitlam Hills were carved, stones moved and our area was transformed

DIANE STRANDBERG

“That Cold, Crushing Feeling: Local Impacts of the Last Ice Age” is a hands-on natural history exhibit showing how glaciation affected the land features of Port Coquitlam and the surrounding area. Geared to children in Grade 6 and up, the exhibit explains how glaciers form, what they do to the landscape and how climate change affects weather. Heritage at Leigh Square is operated by PoCo Heritage and is located at 150-2248 McAllister Ave., Port Coquitlam. For more information, email info@ pocoheritage.org. A virtual exhibit is also online at www.pocoheritage.org.

Tri-CiTy News

It’s hard to believe as warm, grey clouds drop mist and rain onto houses, roads and shopping centres that Port Coquitlam was once under several hundred metres of ice. But a new exhibit at Heritage at Leigh Square, “That Cold, Crushing Feeling: Local Impacts of the Last Ice Age,” shows not only how the Cordilleran ice sheet flowed into the area during the Fraser glaciation period 20,000 years ago but how the land was altered when it receded. Hills with which Tri-City residents are familiar, such as that in the Mary Hill are, were created by glaciation and debris left behind, and rocks the size of trucks were not carried by there by giants but dragged there by ice. For Brian Hubbard, president of the PoCo Heritage Society, and Steve Smith, the exhibit creator, glaciation is a natural process that is akin to a miracle because the result is the place where we now live. “This beautiful pace we all love and enjoy was created by a lot of things that happened before we came,” Hubbard told The Tri-City News during a recent tour of the exhibit. This is the first of many natural history exhibits PoCo Heritage plans to introduce PoCo residents to the abundant nature of the area. Named after the late Carol Hubbard, the former PoCo Heritage board secretary, the Carol Hubbard Memorial Natural History Exhibit this year talks about the ice age. Smith said “That Cold, Crushing Feeling: Local Impacts of the Last Ice Age” seemed like an ideal topic to

LITERACY IN THE TRI-CITIES

Eat & drink the harvest: read autumn cookbooks A GOOD READ VANESSA COLANTONIO

ith Thanksgiving over, the fall harvest season is in full swing. As October becomes November, and as the temperatures drop and the days get shorter, out come the crockpots and comfort food recipes of all kinds. Should you want food ideas this autumn, your local library has a cornucopia of cookbooks to help. Autumn Gatherings: Casual Food to Enjoy with Family and Friends by Rick Rodgers is filled with mouth-watering recipes for appetizers, soups and salads, main courses, side dishes and desserts; most of these are featured with sidebars about key ingredients such as apples, yams, pumpkins, pomegranates, Brussels sprouts, cardoons and cranberries. Some of the more interesting desserts include Concord Grape Pie, Apple Kuchen (German cake) and Grandma Edith’s Persimmon Cookies. Doing some baking this fall? Try The Cook’s Encyclopedia of Bread by Christine Ingram and Jennie Shapter for something completely different. Bread, part of a multi-volume series on various food topics, features an introductory chapter on the history of bread making as well as a section on “Breads of the World.” The last chapter features more than 150 recipes, including those on breads from France, the U.K., Scandinavia and India. Aspiring artisan bakers can try their hands at making Irish Soda Bread, Cornish Saffron Bread, Pain aux Noix, Ciabatta, Focaccia, Pretzels,

Georgian Khachapuri, Bagels, Cornbread or Red Lentil Dosas. There is nothing like Quebec in the fall, with its multi-coloured leaves and crisp winds. Made in Quebec: A Culinary Journey by Montreal Gazette columnist Julian Armstrong is lavishly illustrated and includes sumptuous recipes from all four seasons, those from autumn being the heartiest. For starters, there is the rich Soupe aux Gourganes (Gourgane Bean Soup) from the Saguenay-LacSt-Jean region. Then you can try the Gaspé-style Salt Cod Potato and Onion Casserole as an entrée. Another main course idea is the Émincé de Volaille aux Pommes (Chicken with Apples) from Rougemont in the Eastern Townships. As a dessert finale, the Tarte epicee aux Oeufs (Spiced Custard Tart), with its nutmeg and orange flavours, is perfect. Made in Quebec also has profiles on local chefs as well as on topics including cod fishing, foraging, mushroom picking and beer-making. Eat Feed Autumn Winter: 30 Ways to Celebrate When the Mercury Drops by Anne Bramley focusses on gourmet food for social and festive occasions. Autumn entertaining could include a menu featuring a carrot salad, Welsh rarebit as an entrée, and maple apple tartlets for dessert or an orchard buffet featuring pork chops

with apples and brandy, wild rice pilaf with cherries and pecans, and Poire William ice cream. Feasts for all the festive occasions, Thanksgiving, Guy Fawkes Day and Halloween are all included as well. In many people’s minds, two words signify the flavours of fall: pumpkin spice — and not just in lattes. Recipes featuring this flavour are abundant in Stephanie Pedersen’s pocketsized Pumpkin Spice Cookbook: Delicious Recipes for Sweets, Treats and Other Autumnal Delights. Make pumpkin-spiced beverages, appetizers, desserts and whole meals as well as condiments and a variety of pumpkin spice blends easily by following fairly simple and straightforward recipes. Standouts include the Sweet Potato Fritters, Spice Apple Cheesecake, Pumpkin Sloppy Joes, Afghani-Style Sweet Stew, Healthy Winter Gratin and Spicy Ketchup. Clearly, all of these are light years away from muffins and lattes. Finally, you can wash all of this down with Drink the Harvest: Making and Preserving Juices, Wines, Meads, Teas and Ciders by Nan K. Chase and DeNeice C. Guest. This book first gives tips on juicing and canning basics as well as harvesting and preparation. Then readers can learn how to make a wide variety of fruit and vegetable juices and ciders, herbal and fruit wines and meads, fruit syrups and teas. The tea section includes tips for making the very trendy kombucha tea. Check these and others out from your local library — and bon appetit!

But insurance companies have a vested interest in saving money and reducing costs, not paying you for your pain, loss or inconvenience. ICBC does not work for you. But Joe McStravick will. Joe does not work for insurance companies. Instead, he has chosen to focus his entire 25-year career on protecting the legal rights of personal injury victims.

Do you like to play Trivial Pursuit? You can show off your skills at the Uganda Project Quiz Night. Organized by the Douglas College Foundation in partnership with the Rotary Club of Coquitlam Sunrise, the fifth-annual quiz night is set for Oct. 27, 7 to 10 p.m. in the main cafeteria of Douglas College’s David Lam Campus in Coquitlam and features Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart as MC. Proceeds from the event will benefit literacy projects in Uganda. Registered teams are encouraged to choose a name, dress up accordingly and come prepared to answer questions on eight subject areas. The event also includes snacks, a cash bar, a silent auction and great prizes. “Currently, the literacy rate in Uganda is about 75%. The government has said they want the rate to come up to 90%,” event organizer and Douglas College instructor Wendy Parry said in a press release, noting that this year’s

monetary goal is $4,500. “The funds we raise will go towards sustainable literacy projects done in partnership with local organizations.” The projects also provide service learning opportunities for Douglas students completing internships in Uganda, Parry added. Since 2005, more than 70 students have completed practicums in the east African country through the Uganda Project. Following last year’s event, Douglas College partnered with a community organization to build a library and is now working on building school rooms for students with disabilities and special needs as well as providing solar power and computer labs. “Uganda is a developing country with amazing potential. With small amounts of money and with local partners, we can make a big impact,” Parry says. Entry fee for the Uganda Project Quiz Night is $20 per person. Must be 19 years or older to attend.

Publisher Shannon Balla There have been many changes in the newspaper business in British Columbia in the last two years and a significant one recently in the Tri-Cities. With the closure of the Tri-Cities Now, a Glacier Media sister newspaper of The Tri-City News, on Oct. 2, Shannon Balla, the former Now publisher has assumed the same position with The Tri-City News. She takes over from Nigel Lark, a lifelong newspaperman who had been the News’ publisher since 2009. Shannon, who started her newspaper career in 1995 as a classified sales rep, was previously publisher of The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Times. Shannon is joined on the The Tri-City News’ management team — which also includes editor Richard Dal Monte, circulation manager Kim Yorston and production manager Matt Blair — by the new director of advertising, Michelle Baniulis, who held the same title at the Burnaby and New Westminster NewsLeader newspapers and previously worked in sales at The Tri-City News and The Maple Ridge News. Baniulis takes over from longtime News advertising sales manager Don Layfield, who has retired. You can reach Shannon at: sballa@tricitynews.com

ROCK AND GEM CLUB

Rocks glow at gem show JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Jennifer Moore has just returned from Washington State with an international prize. The gemologist clinched first place for her display case at the Pacific Northwest Friends of Mineralogy. Her fluorescent minerals and train exhibit were a hit with the judges and crowd in Kelso, WA. Now, she hopes to recreate them for this weekend’s Supernatural Stones show, hosted by the Port Moody Rock and Gem Club at the Kyle Centre. It’s a popular annual event, one that draws more than 1,000 visitors and rock hounds, like herself, from around the region. And, given the space the club has devoted to her collection, it’s likely Moore’s rocks will be the shining attraction. Moore’s demonstrations are like magic. She has both long- and short-wave lights as well as less powerful pen lights she purchased for a tidy sum from U.S. dealers. The shortwave light has the strongest UV and, thus, when raised over a rock with active elements, it can make the minerals give out an intense colour. For example, an Iceland spar — a rock used by the Vikings for navigational purposes — is a transparent form of calcite that has double refractive qualities. But when put under a UV light, it glows red or pink. Moore hands over a pink-, white- and black-dotted rock that looks like an average chunk of granite. “What do you think that is?” She flips on the short-wave light box and up pops a wild blend of red and green points, activated by calcite and willemite. This particular rock is from Franklin, New Jersey — home to a decommissioned zinc mine. In 1968, the state declared the Franklin borough the Fluorescent Mineral

Abbotsford gemologist Jennifer Moore shows what her mineral rocks look like under long- and short-wave UV lights. She will have a display at the Port Moody Rock and Gem show at the Kyle Centre on Saturday and Sunday. Capital of the World because its zinc deposits had produced 361 types of mineral species. Moore also is eager to show her hyalite opal rocks from HiHium Lake, in northern B.C., where she once had a claim. Under regular light it looks like clear glue swirled onto a rock; however, under a UV light, it goes bright green because of the uranium content.

Moore loves the reaction when she turns on her highpowered lights (she also gives demonstrations of what the new pages of the Canadian passport look like when fluoresced). Moore, who studied gemmology at BCIT, said she got interested in fluorescent rocks while writing her thesis. Now, a member of the Fluorescent Mineral Society,

she shows and sells some her acquisitions including at the BC Gem Show, which was held this past spring in her hometown of Abbotsford. Andrew Danneffel, spokesperson for the 60-member Port Moody Rock and Gem Club, said he believes Moore’s display will bring more people out to the annual show. Besides her fluorescent rocks, there’ll also be crystals,

fossils, rough rocks, stone carving, craft supplies, jewellery and door prizes. • The Rock and Gem Club show, Supernatural Stones, runs Oct. 24 and 25 at the Kyle Centre (125 Kyle St.) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is by donation.

HALLOWE’EN FUN

Halloween is the most creative Living Dead at time of the year: Norman Foote Coq. library JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

School may be in session and the weather turning cold, but the last day of October is a bright spot for Norman Foote. The Juno-award children’s entertainer loves the trickor-treat holiday that’s wildly popular in communities across Canada. “It’s the most creative time of the year for kids,” the father of five said. “Let’s face it: They’re dressing up in costume, spreading joy throughout the neighbourhood, putting on shows and, of course, getting free candy. “What could be more perfect than that?” For his two shows in Coquitlam on Sunday, Foote not only has his animated “Wall of Sound” (a 100-plus choir made up of School District 43 students) but he hopes to have a decorated audience, too. He’s asking children — and their parents and grandparents — to get into the spirit and don their Halloween duds, whether they be Darth Vader garb or Tinkerbell costumes. Together, Foote hopes to stir up what he calls “organized spontaneity… There’s a lot of

comedy. A lot of laughs,” he said. Foote said he enjoys returning to the Tri-Cities, the third largest school district in the province, as the kids here like to sing along to such tunes as Love My New Shirt, Shake a Leg and Always Be Yourself. That level of participation, he said, makes his shows unpredictable. The last time Foote was at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam was in November 2013, just after he released his eighth CD titled Always Be Yourself. Then, his Wall of Sound comprised of guest singers from the Coastal Sound Music Academy, Vivo, Aubrey and Aspenwood elementary. For Sunday’s shows, Foote said he’ll be the leader of a “howling” masquerade. Still, it won’t be too scary for the little ones. “The shows are for all ages,” he said, “so we keep it light. Not fright.” • Norman Foote: The Howl is at 2 and 4:30 p.m. at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). Tickets are $16/$12. Call the box office at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

ANOTHER WIN FOR THE FOX RAVENS

Another week and another win for the Terry Fox Ravens football team. This time, the AAA high school club defeated the Kelowna Owls 27-13 at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam Friday night, extending their regular-season winning streak to three games. Fox is currently behind St. Thomas More Collegiate in the Eastern Conference, which is ahead in the standings by one point thanks to its record of 3-0-1. The Ravens have a game in hand with a regular season record of 3-0. Next Week, Fox will take on St. Thomas More Collegiate in a battle for first place at Percy Perry. Meanwhile, the Centennial Centaurs are still looking for their first win of the regular season. The Coquitlam club fell 38-17 over Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat secondary, which has improved its record to 1-3 so far this season. However, help could be on the way for the Centaurs, who face the Eastern Conference division basement dwellers Lord Tweedsmuir secondary this week on the road. sports@tricitynews.com

Forward racks up six points in two games with Cats GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

The Port Moody Panthers have found some scoring help from an unlikely place — and just in the nick of time. Chong Lee has joined the club from South Korea after having spent last season bouncing between the Sun

Duck high school team, the North American Hockey League and the American Tier III Hockey League. And Lee is already garnering some attention in the PJHL. A day after the Panthers announced he would be joining the club last Wednesday, he lit up the Langley Knights for four goals in a 7-1 beat down at the George Preston Recreation Centre. Lee was given first star honours for his effort, which saw him pick up five points in his first game in the junior ‘B’

league. His offensive production slowed down a day later when the Cats defeated the Aldergrove Kodiaks 2-0, but he still managed a power play marker in the first period that ended up being the game winner. He was named second star of the match, which took place in front of fans at the Port Moody Arena. “Ever since I started playing hockey, it’s been my dream to play in Canada,” he said. “Joining the Panthers gives me an opportunity to learn under one of the best coaches in Ron

Johnson.” Lee played in the fourth tier of the 2015 World Junior Hockey Championships, where he scored two goals and three assists in five games before his club was ousted from the tournament. He was also the captain of Sun Duck High, a team that plays in the Korean High School League. Lee had 17 goals and 13 assists during the 14 games he played in the league. While he is able to bury the puck when the chance

presents itself — and he has certainly accumulated more goals than assists in his short time with the Cats — Lee said he is known for distributing the rubber. “I like to think of myself as a pass first player,” he said. “I enjoy seeing my teammates score.” With Lee in the lineup, coach Johnson said he can now focus on building four lines and creating more diversity in his lineup. see LEE, page 36

This, he said, will force other teams to “adjust to us instead of us to them.” “Chong is an exceptional skater with good passing and good puck control skills,” he said. “He sees the ice well and brings much needed offense to our roster.” Lee and the Panthers will

be on the ice this weekend when they travel to Maple Ridge for a match against the Ridge Meadows Flames Friday night. The club will return home on Saturday (Oct. 24) for a game against Mission at the Port Moody Arena.

BCHL

Express get back on winning track GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Express put another notch in the win column in a come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the Surrey Eagles at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex last Saturday night. The club was down 3-2 with 17 minutes left in the game when Express forward Austin McIlmurray scored the tying goal and then setup the game winner, which was buried by Colton Kerfoot. The goal helped Kerfoot crack the top ten in BCHL scoring with seven goals and 12 assists, putting him behind Odeen Tufto of the Vernon Vipers. Surrey, who is tied with Victoria for last place in the league, may have led for a few minutes but was never able to

dominate during the game. After a scoreless first period, Luca Leone got the Express on the board on CRESSEY a power play midway through the opening frame. The Eagles responded with a goal of their own a few minutes later when Nathan Deyell put the puck past Express goalie Lawson Fenton, who had a solid game between the pipes turning away 33 of the 37 shots he faced. Coquitlam regained the lead one minutes later when Jarell Pinchuk buried a pass from Jack Surowiee but Surrey was able to tie things up again before the second intermission with a marker from Darren Hards.

KIDS CUTS

In the third period, Kyle Star helped the visitors to their first lead of the game with an unassisted goal after three minutes of play. That is how the score stood until McIlmurray potted the tying goal and Kerfoot gounf the go-ahead marker with six minutes left in the game. Coquitlam held on for the last few minutes, despite the Eagles’ pulling their goalie for an extra attacker. A roughing penalty from Surrey’s John Wesley with four minutes left in the game did not help the club’s effort to find the tying goal. The Express will be back at it tonight (Wednesday) when they host the Langley Rivermen at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.
