Coquitlam council OKs temporary shelters Three churches will host cold/wet weather program Gary MCKenna

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Ian Parker pushes his way up a muddy hillside in Port Coquitlam’s Castle Park during the master’s event at Saturday’s Donkey Cross cyclocross race. The event was the season opener for the Vancouver Cyclocross Coalition’s series of nine races across the Lower Mainland through the fall. For more photos from the event, see Sports on page 26.
The cold/wet weather mat program, which gives homeless people a place to sleep during the region’s harshest weather, is coming back to Coquitlam. Monday, city council approved a temporary use permit to allow the homeless shelter to rotate between three churches — Cavalry Baptist, Coquitlam Alliance and Eagle Ridge Bible Fellowship — on a monthly basis between October and March. The program will operate the same way it did between 2007 and 2015, before it ended following the opening of a permanent shelter in Coquitlam. Rob Thiessen, the director of the Hope for Freedom Society, said a rise in the number of
homeless people in the TriCities makes the temporary shelter program a necessary addition to the services provided at the shelter located at 3030 Gordon Ave. And unlike other shelters in the area, he said the mat program has rules and barriers for those participating; among those restrictions: There are no ins and outs allowed and anyone who is intoxicated or in possession of drugs or alcohol is not permitted entry. Shelter users are bused to the site from a pre-determined meeting point and the operation is staffed by volunteers between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Thiessen said most residents don’t realize a shelter is operating in their neighbourhood because the homeless people are brought in late at night and leave early in the morning. He added that when the shelter operated previously, Hope for Freedom was successful at getting hundreds of people into permanent see CHURCH SHELTERS, page 8

The Tri-CiTy News
Although union donations are banned in this election year, labour organizations are still throwing their weight behind several Tri-City civic and school board candidates in the Oct. 20 race. The New Westminster and District Labour Council released its list last Saturday of its 98 endorsed contenders in Metro Vancouver, including 27 in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. “The diversity of candidates ensures our councils and school boards are reflective of the people they represent,” NWDLC secretary-treasurer Janet Andrews stated in a news release. “We seek to endorse candidates who share our values, who will be inclusive, thoughtful, outspoken and compassionate leaders.” In Coquitlam, NWDLC supports: Adel Gamar for mayor and, for council, councillors Craig Hodge, Chris Wilson and Bonita Zarrillo as well as challengers Rob Bottos, Sean Lee, Trish Mandewo and Nicola Spurling. CUPE Local 386, which represents Coquitlam unionized staff, has the same list, minus Mandewo, said president Gord Willis. NWDLC is also backing Jennifer Blatherwick, Shari O’Neill and Craig Woods for
ECO GROUP RELEASES ELECTION LIST The Force of Nature Alliance — an environmental nonprofit that fights industrial fossil fuel projects and raises money for First Nation legal challenges, among other things — disclosed this week its list of Tri-City candidates it’s promoting for council positions. They are: Bonita Zarrillo and Nicola Spurling in Coquitlam; Laura Dupont and Priscilla Omulo in Port Coquitlam; and Rob Vagramov (mayor) and Amy Lubik, who’s on leave from her position as a director of the eco group, in Port Moody. Spokesperson Katie Harrison told The Tri-City News: “Candidates were chosen by volunteers in our community teams via a democratic decision-making process, which included an extensive interview and three separate rounds of voting by our candidate selection committee, our Tri-Cities community team and our Force of Nature Society members. They were selected on the basis of being outstanding climate champions though secondary factors were considered including electability, diversity and a proven history of social and environmental justice work.” Coquitlam school trustee jobs. In Port Coquitlam, the NWDLC is giving its support to mayoral candidate Brad West and to council incumbents Laura Dupont, Darrell Penner, Glenn Pollock and Dean Washington as well as candidates Nancy McCurrach and Priscilla Omulo. For PoCo school board, the labour group is backing Christine Pollock and Bruce Richardson. Yesterday (Tuesday), CUPE Local 498, representing PoCo union workers, also validated NWDLC’s endorsements. In Port Moody, NWDLC’s list varies slightly from that of CUPE Local 825, which represents city staff. The board is supporting Rob Vagramov for mayor while the PoMo union local is backing Mayor Mike Clay for re-election.

Remains found in Yukon confirmed as missing PoCo man Terry Fai Vong went missing in ’07 in Whitehorse Diane StRanDbeRg The Tri-CiTy News
After a nine-year investigation, Whitehorse RCMP have closed a missing persons case and brought closure to a Port Coquitlam family whose relative had died in rugged terrain near an area popular with mountain bikers. Last week, the RCMP revealed that the identity of a man who went missing in Whitehorse, Yukon in 2007 was Terry Fai Vong of PoCo. Police are not confirming how he died except to say that Vong’s death was not suspicious. “No further details will be provided regarding the circumstances surrounding Mr. Vong’s death. Those details are part of the investigation and
will not be released,” a spokesperson for the Whitehorse RCMP detachment said in email to The Tri-City News. The case took years to solve despite the fact that Vong’s remains were found on two separate occasions: in October 2009, when a skull was found by a mountain biker; and again in September 2016, when more remains and personal items, including a small backpack and a walking stick, were found by two mountain bikers who were carrying their bikes up a steep incline in a very rugged area. After the first finding, a ground search was conducted both on foot and via ATV, and an extensive grid search was done by police service dog and its handler. A further search was conducted in September 2016 and May 2017 but no identification was found. It was the finding of more personal belongings, including a severely deteriorated per-
sonal assistant device, that led to the solving of the case. Police were able to determine that the digital device had been purchased online by a Port Coquitlam man in 2006 and follow-up DNA tests determined that human remains that were that of Vong. A press release issued Sept. 14 noted that it was the cooperation of several agencies, including the Yukon Coroner’s Service, Yukon RCMP Major Crimes Unit, Forensic Identification Section, Police Dog Service, Yukon Search and Rescue, Whitehorse RCMP General Investigation Section, Whitehorse RCMP and Coquitlam RCMP that solved the case. “By working together over the past nine years that we were able to provide longawaited answers to the family and friends of Mr. Vong,” the press release stated. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

HELPING THE HOMELESS
Church shelters alternative to permanent Coq. shelter continued from front page
“That is the reason we want to have another crack at this,” he said. “I personally believe that these statistics show that homeless people that come into our shelter get out of homelessness.” Thiessen told The Tri-City News last week that BC Housing approached his organization earlier this year about relaunching the mat program. He added that while the permanent shelter has been helpful in alleviating some of housing pressures in the community, demand for places to sleep goes beyond the facility’s 30 emergency beds and 30 transitional beds. He also said that because the permanent shelter is considered low barrier, some of the homeless, particularly older people, do not feel comfortable spending the night at the facility. “Not all homeless people out there can thrive in that environment,” he said. “There is an

Those who are interested in helping out can email andrea@ hopeforfreedom.org. opportunity to have a peaceful night sleep and be in an environment that is drug free. That is attractive to some people, even those that are addicted.” During Monday’s hearing, Sandy Burpee, a longtime TriCity housing advocate, said the mat program would provide an alternative to 3030 Gordon, which he said has been full most nights since it opened. He said that the rise in homelessness began before the permanent shelter opened in 2015 and, according to the most recent numbers from the Hope for Freedom Society, there are 157 people without a secure housing in the Tri-Cities. “With the mat program, there is a viable alternative,” he said. “When someone comes to the
door at 3030 Gordon and they are full, they can be told that they do have an alternative.” Still, not everyone who attended Monday’s public hearing in Coquitlam council chambers was happy to hear that the cold/wet weather mat program would be operating out of a church basement in their neighbourhood. Several parents said they had children at the daycare at Cavalry Baptist or attended nearby Parkland elementary. “I am not sure how I feel about dropping my children off in an area where homeless people are coming and going,” said one mother. But another parent with children at the daycare said she had changed her mind after
hearing information provided by Thiessen at the council meeting. “My concerns I brought here tonight I don’t have anymore,” said Lisa Schmidt. “If the participants are bused in and bused out, that alleviates my safety concerns about the program.” Kim Parker, chair of Parkland’s parent advisory council, said many of the concerns brought to Monday’s hearing could have been alleviated had the city been better about communicating the program to residents in the neighbourhood. She said she had only heard about the mat program initiative Monday morning, hours before the council meeting. “A lot of our issues and a lot of the people here would not be voicing concerns if this was actually told to us and explained in an appropriate and timely manner,” she said, later adding: “It has upset many people at our school for needless reasons.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

The annual Terry Fox Run drew hundreds of people to the four events Sunday in the Tri-Cities, including in Fox’s hometown of Port Coquitlam. But the heavy rain kept participation and fundraising lower than usual, said Coquitlam resident Donna White, who is the provincial director of the Terry Fox Foundation. “I don’t have firm figures until the funds come in,” White told The Tri-City News Monday. “I do know that it appears the weather affected us for sure as the rain kept people away and merchandise sales were down.” Still, “those who came out did so because they know that Terry ran in all types of weather.” Dave Teixeira, the Hometown Run organizer, said the poor weather resulted in about 60% fewer participants and donations over last year “but we continue to receive online donations,” he said. About 1,200 people showed up to hear keynote speaker Deb Middleton talk about her cancer journey and Bruce Moore — Terry Fox’s high

PORT MOODY
Temporary cooling system eyed due to leak at PoMo arena Portable system would cost the city $300,000 Mario BarTel
The Tri-CiTy News
A temporary solution to get Arena 2 at the Port Moody rec complex open again will cost almost $300,000, according to a report that was to be presented Tuesday to the city’s finance committee. The plan includes a portable cooling system that could operate from a trailer outside the arena for the remainder of the 2018/’19 hockey and skating season while the existing system is repaired or replaced. The ice pad has been closed
since August, when a routine test that is conducted every six months detected the presence of ammonia in the brine lines that chill the ice in Arena 2. Arena 1 is not affected. Kate Zanon, Port Moody’s general manager of community services, said the system was shut down at the recommendation of Technical Safety C, even though the leak was confined to the cooling system and posed no risk to the public or staff. Almost a year ago, three workers at an arena in Fernie were killed when a small hole in its refrigeration system resulted in a leak of dangerous anhydrous ammonia, which is used to create the chilling temperatures. Residents from 55 nearby homes were also
evacuated. A subsequent investigation determined that system was well beyond its typical 20-year service life. Zanon said Arena 2’s chiller was fabricated in 2005 and put into service in 2008. The closure has meant user groups like Port Moody Minor Hockey, Inlet Skating, Tri-Cities Female Ice Hockey and Port Moody Old Timers Hockey have been shifted to Arena 1 or to ice time the city has purchased for up to $15,000 at Planet Ice in Coquitlam. The first session of Mini Skate lessons was also cancelled. The temporary cooling system could be in place, and the arena opened again, by Oct. 5. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

SHARE FOOD BANK
Food bank clients to get farmed salmon MLA says putting fish co. together with Share not a political move Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News
B.C. farmed salmon will be offered to Tri-City food bank clients, giving them more access to healthy food options, says the CEO of Share Family and Community Services. Saturday, the local social service agency accepted the first 300 lb. of salmon from Marine Harvest Canada, enough to feed approximately 1,000 people, according to Claire McLean, who said donations amounting to 30 lb. a week — enough for 100 people — will continue for the next year. The donations came just days after the Union of BC Municipalities convention voters supported a resolution for a move toward close-containment aquaculture. They were arranged with the help of local Liberal MLA Joan Isaacs but are not a political endorsement, McLean said in a statement to the Tri-City News. “In no way did Share understand this to be a politicallymotivated donation,” McLean said. “Share is a non-partisan agency. We were connected to Marine Harvest by MLA Isaacs after she visited the food bank and saw our new refrigeration capacity and heard about our desire to get more fresh meat, dairy and produce out to those we serve. We are unaware of any involvement by the [BC] Liberal Party in this donation.” “As with all of our donations, Share follows the regulations and requirements of Food Banks Canada, Food Banks BC and Health Canada. Our priority is to get healthy food out to the hundreds of hungry people coming to our food bank every week. We greatly appreciate the community’s ongoing support to help us serve their neighbours.” In an interview, McLean said salmon will add an ad-

As well, McLean said it’s possible Share will look at offering new ideas about how to use salmon for families that might be unfamiliar with it as a food source. “This is something we might consider,” McLean said, noting that Share offers programs on healthy eating. Isaacs, the MLA for Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, said the donation was not an effort to promote the B.C. salmon farming industry but came after a visit to Marine Harvest’s Campbell River operation. Isaacs told The Tri-City News her previous work as a philanthropy consultant inspired her to make the connection. “I was always matching organizations and donors together,” she said, “and when I went to the open house and saw the empty cooler, I asked, ‘How can we fill it?’ “It’s going to feed 1,000 people initially, that first dona-
tion, and be an ongoing source of protein. I wasn’t doing this to be controversial and it has nothing to do with a political thing,” Isaacs said. Both Share and Marine Harvest were supportive of the plan, which got underway in July, and by September, the first donations of individually wrapped portions of frozen B.C. salmon were delivered. A spokesperson for Marine Harvest said the contribution was an effort to provide healthy food to hungry people in the Tri-Cities and not a public relations move by the company. “When opportunities are coming our way and people are asking can we help feed people, we are more than willing,” said Jeremy Dunn, director of community relations and public affairs for Marine Harvest Canada. He said the company recently established a valueadded plant in Surrey where whole salmon are cut into fillets and steaks, and staff were pleased the company is making the donation, which will amount to about 1,500 lb. by the end of the year. Dunn, who visited Share on the weekend, said he was pleased to be able to add fresh and frozen salmon to the canned fish that is usually provided in hampers. Marine Harvest Canada also donates to other food banks in communities where it operates. “This is a no-brainer to be able to help feed people in an area where there was so much need. I was struck by how many working poor there are in the Tri-Cities,” Dunn said. Share recently acquired the walk-in fridge and freezer as well as a refrigeration truck with the help of community donations and is now able to offer eggs, milk, fresh fruit and vegetables and some protein in addition to the non-perishable goods. According to a press release, Share serves more than 6,000 people through the food bank.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION
A more diverse election N
early 100 candidates in the Tri-Cities, anmore and belcarra have launched campaign bids for mayor, council and board of education seats despite concerns raised in some quarters — i.e., outgoing Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore — about low pay and the potential for abuse on social media due to controversial news stories. If anything, there are more candidates with more diverse experience and backgrounds running for election than any time in recent memory. Indeed, the diversity of the candidates, including people from the LGbTq+2 community and from differing age groups, cultural and economic backgrounds, is more reflective of the commuDELIVERY 604-472-3040 NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 cLASSIfIED ADS 604-444-3056 n
nity than it has been in the past. Sadly, there are no women running for mayor in any of the cities or villages, and there continue to be more men running for council, especially in Coquitlam, where only four women are in the race out of a group of 19 vying for eight seats. Meanwhile, PoCo, which has a poor history of electing women to council, has seven running out of a field of 19 for six seats while Port Moody, where a more equal field is the norm, has seven women running for council out of 14 challengers for its six council positions. New financing rules that level the playing field between incumbents and newcomers haven’t stopped people from running, and while campaign
TC
coffers might be smaller this year, we’re pleased to see that candidates can no longer accept union or corporate donations. but these changes weren’t enough of an incentive for women to run for council. Judging by the numbers, school board tends to be where women want to put their time and energy, and there is more parity for school board between male and female candidates. In PoMo, for example, female candidates outnumber male candidates for trustee. So while more needs to be done to encourage women to participate in civic politics, it appears that having a say in local government is appealing to more people from a wider range of backgrounds.
This is important because city councils are more than rubber stamps for development; they help shape the fabric of the community, especially as they deal with change wrought by the SkyTrain and the Lower Mainland housing crunch. Could this be the year more women, more people of colour, more people from the LGbTq+2 community get elected to council and school board posts? We encourage you to find out as much as you can about all the people running for all positions in your city. Watch for our voteSmart voters guides on oct. 10, candidate videos at tricitynews.com, survey results and more in upcoming editions of The Tri-City News.
Candidates in the Oct. 20 elections — which include votes for mayors, city councils and the School District 43 board of education — are a more demographically diverse bunch than in the past.

PORT MOODY REFERENDUM
Boggled over referendum Q The Editor, Re. “Port Moody unveils land sale referendum question” and “Pollster says PoMo Q not clear enough” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 12). Recreational cannabis is not yet legal, but its unwanted effects seem to have permeated Port Moody city hall. The referendum question offers three options and then rather idiotically lumps them together for a yes/no response. I am tempted to write that this boggles the mind but have been told that “boggle is a verb that cannot take an object,” so one can only say, “The mind boggles.” PoMo city hall seems to be staffed by folks who delight in mind-boggling, a confederation of mind-bogglers. My view is that the city should retain some of the land for a new library and green space, and lease some of the land for a desperately needed seniors’ residence, but there is no way I can indicate any of this in response to the referendum question. I suspect that the question is moot and the city government has already made its decision.

The future of the property where the Port Moody public works yard and the former fire hall site will be decided by a referendum taking place as part of the Oct. 20 civic election. May we please discourage the city from wasting taxpayers’ money to mail out this ridiculous referendum question. Back to the drawing board, please. Jean Donaldson, Port Moody
HORSE, CART
The Editor, The Port Moody referendum question does not go to the heart of the issue, which is what public amenities, if any, do residents want built there? Downplaying this question
puts the cart before the horse. We should first have a detailed plan for the ideal public use of the ground level of the site. Priorities should be sussed out by adding a poll to the referendum question and more community outreach, such as at schools and daycare dropoffs. Just mention an indoor pool. After we have a clearer vision, we can better explore allowing use of the air space above for condos and/or subsidized housing if it will pay for the public amenities.
Knee
Pain?
At present, it’s all talk about libraries in exchange for towers. A new library would be nice, sure, but not if it’s oversized, over-lit and fortress-like. A cozy, sunny, easily accessed library with a covered atrium opening onto small businesses like that of Library Square in downtown Vancouver, well, now we’re talking. So let’s not rush this process, putting a shoddy cart in front of the horse even if the cart is named Big Library. Megan Traverse, Port Moody
POLITICS
Social media could be effective tool for politicians, if... The Editor, Re. “Social media poisoning politics, Port Coquitlam mayor laments” (tricitynews. com, Sept. 14). From the referenced story: “Moore, who won’t seek reelection in November, said platforms such as Twitter and Facebook can be a successful communication tool for politicians connecting with their electorates.” Yes, this is a great tool, but if you actually asked Mayor Moor a question and he didn’t like it, he would not
answer, or just simply block you. He did it to me and he did it to many others. Ask him a touchy question and he gives speaking points. Try to debate him and it his view that will win over — you are not going to change his mind. Is it ethically, even morally correct to give yourself a raise and vote on it yourself? How many members of the public get to vote on their own raise? Good riddance. Grant Crossley, Port Coquitlam

Ioco celebrates its ghosts on Sunday MarIo Bartel The Tri-CiTy News
There’s not much left of the old Ioco townsite at the end of Ioco Road on Port Moody’s north shore. Most of the enclave of wooden workers’ homes and community buildings was dismantled or moved after Imperial Oil closed its nearby refinery in 1995. Of the handful that remain, their fate is unknown. Some have fallen into disrepair and decay. Others await renewed life as part of an eventual planned redevelopment of the site by its new owner, Brilliant Circle Group. But mostly, it’s quiet, save for the thrum of traffic heading to and from neighbouring Belcarra and Anmore. In fact, it’s like a ghost town, a lifetime away from the hustle and energy when oil company workers who resided in the clutch of homes that were built in the early 1920s used to process as much as 25,000 barrels of crude at the refinery. That heritage is being celebrated Sunday (Sept. 23) at
PORT MOODY STATION MUSEUM
The Ioco Ghost Town Festival will take place this Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at the old Ioco townsite. the annual Ioco Ghost Town Festival that runs from noon to 4 p.m. at the old Ioco townsite. The event, which got its start in 2002 as a grassroots celebration of the site’s lost and endangered past, is comprised of an already sold-out ghost town walk Saturday; the Sunday main event includes trolley tours of the townsite, entertainment, kids activities,
pony rides and magic acts. As well, there will be a live presentation at Port Moody’s Inlet Theatre Sept. 30 at 3 p.m. of an old-fashioned Venosta Radio Show featuring three vintage episodes of the Inter-Planetary Adventures of Flash Gordon.

Tri-Cities Pride society holds Pro-sOGi event The Tri-Cities Pride Society is holding an event in support of education resources promoting the safety of LGBTQ+2 youth in schools. Calling the gathering a Pro-SOGI event, the group will have speakers and performances at TD Community Plaza in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park Sunday, Sept. 23. Founded a year ago, the Tri-Cities Pride group’s mission is to build a “more in-
clusive, aware, mindful and safe Tri-Cities.” This event comes weeks after Culture Guard held an anti-SOGI rally at Rocky Point Park in July. Tri-Cities Pride states on its Facebook page that this event will be an inclusive event, promoting diversity and supporting the SOGI 123 curriculum, a resource available to teachers to make schools more inclusive. According to School District 43’s policy 17, and
noted in the student code of conduct, discrimination based on “race, religion, colour, ancestry, place of origin, marital status, family status, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or physical or mental disability” is prohibited. The policy was updated last year in response to changes to the Human Rights Code of B.C. More information about the event is available at tricitiespride.ca.

EAGLE RIDGE HOSPITAL
Foundation FANs out for fundraiser JANis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
Next week’s Evening of Caring — an annual gala in support of the Eagle Ridge Hospital in Port Moody — is now sold out. But the hospital foundation says donors who were unable to get tickets can still help out through its Fund-A-Need campaign. Launched this month, the FAN drive aims to raise $500,000 to outfit nine rooms in the new emergency department that, when complete, will triple in size. Among the items the hospital foundation will pay for are: • infusion pumps ($7,123 each); • patient stretcher beds ($17,735 each); • physiologic monitors ($6,555 each); • point of care carts ($2,145 each); • ceiling lifts ($14,191 each); • and other needs ($70,000). “We know that the community is invested in having improved emergency care for their families and, by supporting this year’s gala through our Fund-A-Need campaign, it brings that reality one step

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH AT 6:00PM
T
his is the fifth year Coquitlam Public Library held a Summer Reading Club for Adults Learning English. Here are some of the readers’ book reviews: • The Seventh Scroll by Wilbur Smith, reviewed by Alvaro Villamizar: “This is an adventure novel of Royan and Nicholas, who were searching for the tomb of King Mamose, pharaoh of Egypt. What I liked in this novel was the description of the Egyptian customs for decoration, to put valuable treasures inside the tomb and make beautiful hieroglyphics on the wall. I didn’t like the cold relationship between Royan and Nicholas, who married at the end of the story. The end for the bad guys was dramatic and well deserved.” • Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, reviewed by Veselko Marsimovic: “This book I like because it is very interesting. The book is full of exciting events. It shows the struggle of a man in a wild world to survive. This book has a happy ending and that’s why I like it.” • Mrs. Whippy by Cecelia Ahern, reviewed by Diana Sunghye Moon: “When I read the 12 chapters, I laughed so much because Emelda, who was blamed by her five sons and who was left alone by her husband, who went with a young woman, thought the ice cream truck driver was her prince, the truck was the white horse and his ice cream was his sword. I enjoyed reading this book so much and she re-

venged her husband by telling the truth.” • Emma by Jane Austen, reviewed by Amy Li: “Emma is a pretty, clever and rich young woman who lives in the countryside. She is very popular there. She likes to make matches for other people and always thinks she is right. After many things happen, Emma learns a lesson and finds her true love. I like reading all the novels by Jane Austen and have read Emma in Chinese before, so it’s not difficult for me to understand it in English. I still feel excited when I read it this time.” • White Fang by Jack London, reviewed by Abolvahed Razzaghi Khamsi: “This story is about the life of a wolf cub named White Fang and is told by a narrator through the wolf’s eyes. Jack London illustrates very vividly the evolution of the cub both physically and emotionally, growing up with several masters, some who treat him very badly and use him for dog fighting to make money. White Fang becomes very angry and aggressive until he meets his

last master, an American from California who treats him with love and affection. In response, White Fang shows love to him, too, and becomes very loyal, rescuing his master and protecting his master’s family. In fact, London’s story is an account of the domestication of wolves into pet dogs, and is the mirror image of his novel Call of the Wild. The book is very interesting and I highly recommend it!” • Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery, reviewed by Xinshe Li: “Annie is an orphan but she greeted each day with optimism. Through her own efforts, she was admitted to Queen’s College and won a scholarship. With her own efforts, a dream gradually comes true. In looking at me when I meet difficulties, I withdraw, immediately lie down. That’s not true, [better to] stand up bravely and defeat the block. Annie is like a light that lights up our direction.” A Good Read is a column by TriCity librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Janice Williams works at Coquitlam Public Library.

A Port Moody secondary graduate is now under the wing of a well-known actor, singer-songwriter, producer and humanitarian to guide her theatre career. And Canadian Gov.-Gen. Julie Payette has given the year-long mentorship between Sarah Robertson and Tom Jackson her blessing — and federal funding. In June, the 34 year old was named the 2018 protégé in the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards mentorship program, designed for emerging artists to learn from past laureates of the Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award. The program, which is in consultation with the National Arts Centre’s artistic leadership, comes with a $5,000 honorarium and $10,000 toward a project. Robertson, who graduated from PMSS in 2002, said she met Jackson — an officer of the Order of Canada — last year while he was filming a promotional video in the Badlands, just north of his home in Calgary. At the time, Robertson was studying acting at the Rosebud School of the Arts — a spiritual-based post-secondary institution —and Jackson needed a student to interview for his piece; they instantly hit it off, she recalled. This April, shortly before she moved to Toronto, Jackson invited her to be part of the mentorship program; they were inducted at a formal ceremony at Rideau Hall June 1 and, the next day, walked the red

SARAH ROBERTSON carpet at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Now, nearly three months into their mentorship, Robertson said the pair has been busy exchanging ideas about her upcoming project that speaks of “the topics of play, and celebrating risk and failure in a theatrical context,” she said. It’s still in the research and development phase but she hopes to include storytelling, spoken word, rap, clowning, improvisation and audience interaction. Last weekend, she travelled to Quebec for the Montreal Clown Festival and, earlier this summer, was at the Victoria Fringe Festival, also to glean ideas. Jackson’s wisdom in performing arts also gives Robertson a fresh perspective. “His experience, peace and confidence helps to put me on a more solid ground as an artist,” she said. “He speaks so highly of me that it encourages me to live up to that…. A lot of our mentorship is less about details and more about sharing space with one another.”

Lights, camera, action! New film school opens JaNis CLeugh The Tri-CiTy News
When husband-and-wife team Mike Lyons and Lisa Durupt moved to Coquitlam eight years ago, they wondered why the Tri-Cities was so void of taping and training studios given the film boom in Metro Vancouver. The couple had friends locally who were in the film and television industry, too, and needed a quiet, professional space to tape their auditions to send to casting agents. “We just told them to come over to our home because there was nothing set up around here to do that,” Durupt shrugged. Durupt, who’s currently guest starring in the 12th season of CBC’s Heartland and is cast in Hallmark’s Murder Mystery series, The Chronicle Mysteries, also scratched her head over young actors and their families, who she saw would hurry out from Metro suburbs to get to Vancouver call-outs and classes. To fill the gap and make it easier for actors, Lyons and Durupt looked around the TriCities for a commercial spot to lease to begin a business. Saturday, they’ll launch the Tri-Cities Film Studio, offering semester-long acting lessons to emerging and professional actors of all ages and levels — plus a taping studio. Durupt plans to lead most of the sessions while Lyons will be behind the camera and edit the videos to fire off to casting agents around the region. The couple has no doubt their enterprise will be successful. “It’s such a booming industry,” Lyons said. “There’s a lot of talent here in the Tri-

Coquitlam actor Lisa Durupt founded the Tri-Cities Film Studio, a film and TV training studio that opens Saturday, at 942A-938 Brunette Ave., in Coquitlam.

Cities and we want to make sure they’re just as part of the scene as everyone else.” Vancouver is the fourth biggest filming city in the world after Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta, they said, and Vancouver’s nine casting agents are always on the hunt for fresh faces for the networks, especially young ones. Vancouver is very attractive for Hollywood as it’s a direct flight from LAX, less than 2.5 hours away, and the province provides tax incentives to producers, Lyons said. As well, there’s already a solid foundation for filming infrastructure.

Durupt and Lyons, who both have bachelor of arts degrees in theatre and drama from the University of Winnipeg and trained at the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Victoria, said they’ll use their past experience and best practices in their coaching techniques like audition and film set etiquette. They’ve divided their lessons into age groups: novices (ages seven to nine), who want to learn the basics of screen acting like on-camera improvisation, storytelling and working with scene partners; juniors (ages 10 to 13), with

students building on the fundamentals and studying scene and script breakdown; seniors (ages 14 to 17), who will prepare memorized scenes and on-camera auditions as well as learn about cold reading, branding and representation; and adults, who want to build confidence through acting. Durupt said she wants her students to think like athletes. “The business is very sportsminded: sometimes you have good days; other times, not. You have to prepare yourself for the next round and learn from your mistakes.” jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Follow lights for fest mural Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
A wall on the public works storage shed in Port Coquitlam’s Lions Park will get dashes of colour when the city hosts its annual Rivers and Trails Festival Sunday. And visual artist Aurelia Bizouard wants the community to help her paint the 38’ live light mural during the event that runs from noon to 4 p.m. in the Lions Way park. Bizouard, who splits her time between Vancouver, Los Angeles and Paris, will start by painting nature scenes from around the city, on the back of a glass panel. When done, she’ll shine a bright light onto the glass, of which the lines will be projected onto the wall so participants can trace its lines and fill out the canvas with colour. Bizouard told The Tri-City News her Light Lines Painting project in PoCo will be similar to the artwork she designed at the Woodward’s building in Vancouver; last year, she also set up a live light mural during the popular Eastside Culture Crawl, in east Vancouver. “My main purpose is to connect people to art in a social setting,” she said. “It has an impact not only for them but
for the community. It delivers a strong message.” Bizouard said participants aren’t afraid of a blank canvas when there’s a general sketch lit up in front of them “because they can just follow the lines and then have the freedom to express themselves in the spaces in between. It’s just magic what happens.” She added, “When they step out of their comfort zone and see the results, they have the confidence to be connected to something larger than themselves.” Bizouard said she hopes to get at least 50 people out to help her with the image (a tent will be set up if it rains); a follow-up workshop will be held the next day. The finished work will be ready by late October. Meanwhile, other activities happening during the Rivers and Trails Festival include: entertainment by acoustic folk singer-songwriter Jessica Barbour, aerial dance performances by Firebelly, world instrument workshops, a salmon smelt release and a guided walk by PoCo Heritage Trees. The Sept. 23 festival coincides with BC Rivers Day. Visit portcoquitlam.ca/festivals.

DONKEY CROSS
Ride for mud & glory MARIO BARTEL THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Leaden skies and rain might feel like the end of summer. But for cyclocross racers, the fun is just beginning. The Vancouver Cyclocross coalition kicked off its season of nine races in the Lower Mainland Saturday with the annual Donkey Cross at Castle Park in Port Coquitlam. Cyclocross is where road riders go to wallow in the mud. It was started in the early 1900s in northern Europe as a way for road racers to stay
fit as their summer season wound down. The cyclists would challenge each other to race to the next town or village in Belgium, France or the Netherlands and they were allowed any route to achieve their destination. That often meant traversing muddy farmer’s fields, skittering along narrow dirt trails, hopping fences. By 1924, cyclocross had become a recognized cycling discipline when the sport’s first international competition, Le Criterium International de Cross-Country Cyclo-Pédestre, was held in Paris. But it wasn’t
officially sanctioned by cycling’s governing authority, the Union Cycliste Internationale, until the 1940s and the first world championship was staged in Paris in 1950. A cyclocross race is usually contested on a tight, twisty route that includes several obstacles and challenges that forces participants to carry their bikes, over a barrier or up a steep, slippery hill. Saturday’s event included races for kids, youth, novices, masters and elite men and women. mbartel@tricitynews.com
Clockwise from top left: Craig McGarry hoists his bike up a slippery hillside in the Masters B race. The bike washing station is busy. A rider shoulders her bike over one of the set obstacles. Riders wind their way downhill. Steady rain turned the course at Port Coquitlam’s Castle Park to a muddy track, some of which finds itself onto Paul Craig. Spectators cheer a rider through a corner.

The Coquitlam Express will use their home opener on Sunday to raise money for a local pro hockey player enduring a health challenge. Express president Mark Pettie said the team will donate $5 of each ticket sold in advance to Sunday’s game against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks to the family of Wade MacLeod, who grew up in Coquitlam and currently lives in Port Moody. The advance tickets are available at Planet Ice and Mariner Brewing in Coquitlam as well as Innovative Fitness in Port Moody. MacLeod recently underwent his fourth operation in five years to deal with a recurring glioblastoma tumour in his brain. A GoFundMe campaign started by a friend of MacLeod’s family has raised more than $90,000 since it was launched in August, garnering support and words of encouragement from everywhere the 31-year-old touched down
in his journey through the hockey world. MacLeod played two seasons in the BC Hockey League with the Merritt Centennials before heading to Northeastern University in Boston. It was during MacLeod’s second pro season with the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League when he collapsed on the ice and went into convulsions. Doctors discovered the tumour, about the size of a golf ball, and removed it a month later. MacLeod recovered and resumed his career, alighting with various minor pro teams across North America before heading to Germany to play for the Rosenheim Star Bulls. But the tumour came back and the latest setback, in which MacLeod endured two more operations over this past summer, likely means the end of his hockey career, said Mike Armstrong on the fundraising site he launched. Pettie said MacLeod’s story resonated as the
BE YOU! LOUNGE
Express will hold a pre-game ceremony to honour the memory of members of the Humboldt Broncos junior team in Saskatchewan who were killed in April when their bus collided with a car as they travelled to a playoff game. “The power of the hockey community has been on full display for our country to watch recently in Humboldt,” Pettie said. “We felt we could bring that spirit of giving to Coquitlam for one night and help someone who rode the buses just like those kids.” The money raised for MacLeod will be used to help support his young family, and pay for his medical expenses. After losing a pair of games to the Prince George Spruce Kings, 5-3 and 3-0, in Prince George last weekend, the Express will play Powell River and Cowichan Valley at the BCHL’s annual showcase in Chilliwack on Thursday and Saturday before Sunday’s 3 p.m. game at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex.

BURNABY/ TRI-CITIES WEEKLY SNAPSHOT
ANALYSTS:
Real estate to keep cooling in Metro Vancouver The frenzied housing market of the past few years seems to have largely cooled, and now a group of property analysts are predicting it will keep doing so. Average Metro Vancouver house prices are expected to rise a median of 1.8 per cent this year, less than half the predicted 5.5 per cent in a previous forecast, according to a small, focused Reuters poll of 16 expert property analysts. The region’s median forecast for next year is a price rise of 1.7 per cent rise, down from the previously predicted 3.4 per cent. That predicted increase is less than inflation, now pegged at 2.5 per cent. When asked to rate housing affordability on a scale of one to 10, where 10 is extremely expensive, analysts put the Canadian market at six, Toronto at eight and Vancouver at nine. That was unchanged from the previous survey in June.
Sebastien Lavoie, chief economist at Laurentian Bank, said, “In Vancouver, the market takes a longer time to find a new equilibrium path due to the intended measures from the [provincial] government to ease overheating pressures. So far, the plan is working well.” National forecast Across Canada, house prices will rise by a median 1.7 per cent in 2018, according to the analysts, which is less than the 1.9 per cent forecast in June. National home prices are set to rise another 2.1 per cent next year, and another two per cent in 2020, they predicted. “We are going to see very modest price growth across all markets,” said Robert Kavcic, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto. “We are seeing Toronto and Vancouver still adjusting to past policy measures and Bank of Canada rate hikes.”
The sentiment that recent market-cooling policies have done their job was echoed by Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter, who in a wrote in note to investors September 17, “The housing market is for now no longer a major source of concern for policymakers, especially with household borrowing decelerating notably.” Statistics Canada data released September 14 showed that Canadian household debt seems to have levelled off. In 2018’s second quarter, the average Canadian household held $1.69 of debt for every dollar of disposable income, down slightly from the same quarter in 2017. The mortgage stress test introduced in January certainly reduced Canadians’ borrowing, with the total value of new mortgages in Q2 around a third lower than in the previous year, according to StatsCan.
