With 33 days to go until the federal election, the Tri-Cities’ two ridings are increasingly shaping up to be key electoral battlegrounds, say experts. Pundits have cast the Lower Mainland — along with Quebec and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) — as swing regions that could help decide who will next govern the country. Like the GTA, the ridings of Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam and Port MoodyCoquitlam reflect a wider national struggle over suburban votes, where conservative sensibilities, progressive social policies and concerns for the environment all resonate with a mixed voter base. “It’s a diverse group of rid-

In the 2015 federal election, Liberal MP Ron McKinnon won the Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam seat riding a “red wave” that carried the federal Liberals from two MPs across British Columbia to 17. Still, the margin was slim: Less than 1,800 votes separated McKinnon from his then Conservative rival. And while this time around McKinnon has the incumbent advantage, his riding is not a Liberal bastion of support guaranteed to help carry the party to victory in October. “This entire region is essentially a new hold for the Liberal Party,” said Press. “They’re going to have to work to secure [it].” see

Pipe problems and vaping: What the Tri-Cities are asking UBCM to act on Annual convention of civic politicians will be held next week
WHO’S ASKING FOR WHAT Some of the resolutions to the annual Union of BC Municipalities from Tri-Cities councils ask that:
GRANT GRANGER ggranger@tricitynews.com
After fighting with FortisBC over ripping up Como Lake Avenue earlier this year, Coquitlam will take the issue to another level when it lobbies for province-wide changes at next week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention. When FortisBC began to replace its natural gas pipeline underneath Como Lake Avenue this year, Coquitlam tried to get the company to pay to pave the full width of the street, not just the ripped-up strip. The city also wanted the company to remove the old pipeline instead of filling it in and leaving it underground. The disagreements prompted Coquitlam council to submit a resolution to the UBCM calling for the province to do “a holistic review of the regulatory framework surrounding utility undertakings” and update legislation so there’s “a collaborative approach to planning and managing civic infrastructure corridors.” It’s one of four resolutions submitted by Coquitlam to the convention, which runs next Monday to Friday at the Vancouver Convention Centre. PoCo also put forward two — including one on Chinese government sponsorship of a UBCM reception — while Port Moody submitted a dozen.
PORT COqUITLAM • the B.C. health ministry initiate programs to promote nutritious and affordable food, and support regional initiatives to enhance community food security.

Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge, who sits on the UBCM’s executive as the Metro Vancouver representative, said the hope is the UBCM can convince the province to change the rules so cities can recover present and future costs for utility corridors within their borders. He said city councils shouldn’t be saddled with the extra costs of having to work around a patch pavement job or abandoned pipeline in the future. “When [the impasse with FortisBC] happened, Coquitlam sounded the alarm: Has anyone considered the long-term impact of having these utility corridors within our cities?” said Hodge. “It’s time to rethink about what we do about these utility corridors because they become more
crowded as we get busier.” The resolution was endorsed by the Lower Mainland Local Government Association but the UBCM’s resolutions committee made no recommendation on it. In another resolution, Coquitlam council called for the threshold of reporting civic employee pay in cities’ annual statements of financial information increased from $75,000. Because salaries have increased so much since 2002 when the threshold was determined, Coquitlam’s resolution calls on the UBCM to lobby the province to change it to be consistent with the consumer price index (CPI) increases since then, and to amend it every five years to reflect changes in CPI. The resolution, however, proposed by Coun. Dennis
Marsden, did not get unanimous support at the council table. Coun. Bonita Zarrillo, currently an NDP candidate in the federal election, opposed it, saying she supports transparency and is comfortable with the current threshold. “I think generally most councillors will recognize this is just keeping up with inflation, so I’m hoping this one will have widespread support. I don’t think this is a really contentious one,” said Hodge. In another resolution, Coquitlam wants the UBCM — as well as the Federation of Canadian Municipalities — to ask Health Canada and senior levels of government to come up with policy and regulations to deal with the access, sale and appeal of vape products to youth. It also wants more enforcement resources at the
• the province enact legislation “that holds fossil fuel companies financially liable for climate-related harms caused by” them; • the province, UBCM and FCM to develop best cleanenergy practices legislation for municipalities; • the provincial building code be amended to include greenhouse gas limits for new construction; • support for Vancouver’s request to have the province allow municipalities to lower speed limits in residential areas to 30 km/h; • a change be made to provincial legislation to allow those with permanent resident status to vote in local elections; • the UBCM support free public transit for minors and those living below the poverty line, and reduced prices on a sliding scale for low-income residents; • the province extend the authority to introduce a vacancy tax on homes and buildings to local governments; • and the provincial and federal governments come up with an emergency response to meet emissions goals set out by an intergovernmental panel on climate change last year. local level to prevent the use of vape products by youth. Although the three resolutions are expected to be debated individually, the city’s fourth concerning development cost charges is low on the agenda and is unlikely to be discussed on its own. In the resolution, Coquitlam calls on the province to widen the scope of services municipalities can charge developers for to include the capital costs for emergency services, sports fields, and recreation
and cultural facilities. Hodge cited new fire halls as an example of one of the services it can’t require developers to contribute to. Hodge said so many changes on councils throughout the province in last fall’s municipal elections has meant a record number of resolutions with 279. Almost all of them are slated to be discussed either in a block with many others or are considered similar to other resolutions already up for debate.

LOOKING OUT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Upgrades Complete at Brookmere Park
Bears Are Stocking Up for Winter
New amenities for children, youth and residents in the Burquitlam-Lougheed area are now open at Brookmere Park on Austin Avenue. This is a significant improvement to the 5.3-acre (2.2-hectare) park, which added playground features, a half-size sports court, social space and seating, picnic tables, lawn areas, flower plant bed, trails and accessible walking paths. A celebration is planned for Saturday, Sept. 21, 2 to 4 p.m., with kids’ activities, refreshments, a ukulele performance and try-it session. Learn more at coquitlam.ca/parkprojects.
As local area bears look for food to prepare for winter denning, don’t let your home, property or business be their target. Store all attractants, like food waste, garbage, fallen fruit from trees, and bird seed somewhere bears cannot access. Place your garbage and green carts out after 5:30 a.m. On collection days, lend a hand to a neighbour who may need assistance. Allowing wildlife to access garbage and other attractants can lead to a $500 fine.

Cat lover leaves cash for adoption groups Price left most of estate to Coquitlam Foundation Grant GranGer ggranger@tricitynews.com
A cat lover has bequeathed the largest donation the Coquitlam Foundation has ever received to help orphaned felines and connect them with seniors. Outgoing foundation executive director Dwight Yochim said he was surprised to open up the mail one day to find a copy of a will that gave almost
SUE PRICE
an entire estate — nearly $800,000 — to the foundation to establish the Margaret
Susan Price Fund. Sue Price, who worked for RBC for most of her career, died of cancer in January 2018 at the age of 59. She was survived by her brother and his family, and her cats, Charli and Sydni. “It was a very pleasant surprise to get be the beneficiary of that kind of estate but we didn’t know how much until recently,” said Yochim. “This is by far and away the biggest [donation].” Before she passed away, her lawyer set up the fund so 60% of the money it earns goes toward organizations that rescue, rehabilitate and find adoptive homes for cats in the Tri-Cities.
The other 40% would go to organizations that foster cats to live with willing and able seniors, including boarding for cats during vacations, vet bills, and transportation to and from pet-related appointments. Although there are no organizations based in the TriCities that fit the bill, Yochim said, organizations in New Westminster and Maple Ridge do carry out that kind of work in the area. He expects the fund will start to accrue enough interest by December for the foundation to distribute money to organizations like them. “Our role now is to leave it to them to put in a proposal
and what it would cost,” said Yochim, who noted their investments yield an average of about 6% annually. “I suspect that partnership will go on for quite a while.” Price’s donation will bring the foundation’s total endowment to just shy of $4 million for the 18 funds it administers, Yochim said. He added it’s nicer if the foundation can get to know an individual before they pass. He’s currently working with a woman with “life challenges” to develop on a fund for her estate. “I’m able to meet her and find out her desires and what
her wishes are and develop some language that she’s comfortable with,” said Yochim. “It puts her mind at ease, she knows that part of her estate is taken care of. “It doesn’t need to be in a situation where you’re facing those sorts of challenges. It could be 20 years down the line. Usually, when someone approaches us with that sort of discussion, it’s on their grounds and it’s with their mindset on thinking about the future.” • For more info about the Coquitlam Foundation, go to coquitlamfoundation.com.

Seniors snookered at PCCC?
$8.3M for PoCo rental housing
Wilson Centre men say not enough snooker tables now
ties for seniors to use the two snooker tables.� Bowie said city managers will monitor patterns of use and programming needs and interests in the community centre’s first year, then schedules will change in response to demands for times and activities. Currently, snooker playing hours at the centre are: Monday and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to noon; Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 8:30 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost is $1 per play for Wilson Centre members, $3 for non-members or $8.50 a month for a games room activity fee. Hansen disputes the number of active players — claiming it’s 29, more than double Bowie’s assessment — and he said he’s now had to join the Pitt Meadows snooker club in order to stay in the league; others have signed up with Dogwood Pavilion in Coquitlam or in Maple Ridge. “We’ve been shafted,� Walker said. Spence, who’s a member of the Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge snooker groups, said the loss of PoCo’s club means the league will drop from 11 to 10 centres. “There are three key things with snooker: It’s mental, it’s physical and it’s social. And, for seniors of course, those are very important to living a healthy life.�

A week after Port Coquitlam’s $132-million community centre opened last month, hockey officials complained about the lack of dressing rooms for referees — an issue that threatened to scuttle games had it not been resolved a week later. Now, the city is under fire for failing to provide an adequate number of snooker tables for the Wilson Centre Seniors, a move that has resulted in the club being banned from playing in the Lower Mainland Seniors Snooker League. “It’s a shame,� league president Gary Spence told The TriCity News Wednesday. “This club will probably fade away and not exist because it can’t be part of the league. They don’t meet the regulations. They aren’t eligible.� Under the league’s constitution, its clubs must have at least three snooker tables to compete in league matches — and preferably four, he said. But when the city reorganized the Wilson Centre space for the new recreation complex, it cut the number of snooker tables from four to two and placed the pair in the

games room, which can be used by the public. Award-winning snooker players Bruce Hansen (a past president of the Wilson Centre Seniors Advisory Association), Wayne Young and Keith Walker told The Tri-City News Monday that decision poses several problems as inexperienced players can damage the table felt and pockets; as well, the tables are now located in an open room that includes other games such as table tennis, which can distract snooker players. Hansen said he raised the issue of the required snooker
table allotment several years ago with city’s Healthy Communities Committee, of which Mayor Brad West was then a member, as discussions around the future community centre were being held. But his lobbying efforts fell on deaf ears. Joan Gould, acting president of the Wilson Centre Seniors Advisory Association, said it was the city’s decision to have two snooker tables. “There seems to be some controversy about how many people played,� she told The Tri-City News Tuesday. In an emailed statement,
PoCo’s recreation director, Lori Bowie, said while the old Wilson Centre had a dedicated snooker room with four tables, “this room was exclusively used by a small group of senior men,� she wrote. “For a small number of regular players, typically 12 to 15 who were not hosting league play, a dedicated space with more than two tables was not needed.� She added: “To enhance the use of the new games room, it has been designed to host a variety of games and users while, at the same time, providing ample opportuni-
Port Coquitlam is the latest city to benefit from a 10-year, $1.9-billion provincial investment to build more than 14,000 mixed-income rental homes throughout B.C. Tuesday, the province awarded $8.3 million to build 83 rental units, including studio apartments, one- to four-bedroom units and a-five bedroom unit, for low-income women and their families. Operated by the Atira Women’s Resource Society, the Alex rental complex will be built on four lots owned by Metro Vancouver at the northwest corner of Prairie Avenue and Flint Street, across from Kwayhquitlum middle school, and will be leased for a nominal fee on a long-term basis by Atira. Projected monthly rents at the Alex will range between $375 and $1,550. In addition to affordable rental apartments, the Alex will house a medical clinic large enough for eight doctors, and a child care facility. Construction for the project is expected to start next spring.

AFTER THE FIRE
How will PoMo’s Gallery Bistro rise from the ashes? Bistro’s owners seek community input on how best to rebuild
“I think I’d like for us to be setting an example for the arts community.”
MARIo BARTEl mbartel@tricitynews.com
The Gallery Bistro is getting ready to rise from the ashes. After more than six weeks dealing with the pain of losing her beloved business to a fire July 28 while she was celebrating her birthday, as well as insurance settlements, Helen Daniels said she’s ready to move forward. She and husband Rainer Daniels want to rebuild. To get that process started, as well as to ensure a reborn Gallery Bistro is everything Port Moody cherished about the little restaurant/art gallery/concert venue/discussion forum/ creative cauldron/gathering place/etc., they’re gathering ideas for the parcel of property they own between Clarke and Spring streets. The walls of the Gallery Bistro may be gone, demolished a week after the Sunday evening fire that also razed the old Roe and Abernathy grocery store next door, but its spirit endures, Daniels said. In fact, many of the cultural happenings — like Monday night jazz concerts, the Philosopher’s Café, meetings

of creative people and book readings — that made the restaurant a hub for the city’s arts community have found temporary purchase at other venues. Rebuilding will assure them a permanent home. “We need to fill this void,” she said. “It’s about recreating something here that is for the benefit of the community.” The Daniels have enlisted CityState Consulting Group, which is based in the historic P. Burns and Co. butcher shop, which is also owned by the restaurateurs, to gather input through its website with the goal of distilling some of the community’s ideas into a vision for the property’s future.
Daniels said a reborn bistro will be part of that, as will a renewed effort to animate Clarke Street to attract visitors while reinvigorating the area’s historical ties. There could also be a complex of micro artists’ studios at the back of the property with expansive garage door openings to encourage pedestrians to drop in to watch the artists at work, and to allow the artists to better showcase their work. Daniels said it’s all about reinforcing Port Moody’s identity as the City of the Arts, a slogan she helped devise a number of years ago when she served on a civic committee. “I think I’d like for us to be
setting an example for the arts community,” she said. The city’s emotional connection with the arts became apparent in the fire’s aftermath, Daniels said. Artists who’d moved on long after their budding careers sprouted at the bistro reached out, alternate venues like the Royal Canadian Legion offered space to hold events, even old customers gave words of encouragement. “There was such an outpouring of support, it was overwhelming to feel,” Daniels said, adding that giving the community a say in the bistro’s reincarnation honours that love. • To learn about the future of the Gallery Bistro and offer input, go to citystate.ca/gallerybistro-2411-clarke-st.html.
Ian Donaldson, lawyer for Port Moody Mayor Rob Vagramov in his sexual assault case, speaks to reporters outside court last week. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS RoB VAGRAMoV
‘Alternative measures’ sought for Vagramov Sex assault case may be resolved outside the courts JAnIs ClEuGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com
Lawyers for the Crown and Port Moody Mayor Robert Vagramov say they plan to seek “alternative measures” on the sexual assault charge he is facing. Last Thursday, special prosecutor Michael Klein and defence lawyer Ian Donaldson told Judge Eugene Jamieson they are in agreement in moving forward with the extra-judicial dispute resolution process. The case was adjourned until Nov. 13 at 9:30 a.m. Outside the courthouse, Donaldson told reporters he was unable to elaborate on
what “alternative measures” would mean for Vagramov but he suggested it could end up in a stay of proceedings if the matter is settled out of court. Vagramov, who has publicly denied the allegation and returned to city hall Monday, did not attend the hearing. He is accused of one count of sexual assault against an unidentified person in Coquitlam, with the offence alleged to have happened between April 1 and July 10, 2015. He returned to work at city hall Sept. 9, saying he had more time to devote to the job because his case wasn’t expected to go to trial.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

PoMo mayor should step aside until his case is fully resolved
Last Week t
Vagramov needs to change his ways for the good of his city THE TRI-CITY NEWS newsroom@tricitynews.com
F
rom the early days of his candidacy through his first 10 months in office, Port Moody Mayor Rob Vagramov hasn’t so much been a lightning rod for criticism and controversy as he has a storm cloud, sending out random thunderbolts for his many supporters to dodge and defend. First, there was the surfacing last fall of the infamous video he shot of himself in 2014 in which he used a homeless man as a prop in a twisted random act of kindness, offering the man a sandwich if he would shotgun a beer with Vagramov. In response to that video’s
exposure and the ensuing criticism, Vagramov gave a number of different responses over three days, first saying he was young at the time; then saying the video was being used by his political opponents because “there is big money and development to be lost” if he were elected; and finally stating: “This is something that I would never even consider doing again.” Second, just a few months after he won Port Moody’s top elected office, he recommended the husband of a councillor who’s his closest political ally for a position on the city’s police board; that man was appointed but soon resigned after concerns were raised about a potential conflict of interest. Last week, when The Tri-City News reported the mayor had a hand in the controversial appointment, Vagramov defended his actions and said his political opponents were be-
hind public opposition to it. Third, and most serious, in late March, he was charged with a single count of sexual assault for an incident alleged to have happened in 2015, when he was a city councillor. Vagramov, who proclaimed his innocence, immediately took a paid leave of absence from his $111,000-ayear position, switching to an unpaid leave three months later just as council was about to discuss the matter anew. He remained on leave until Sept. 9, when he showed up at city hall to resume his duties shortly after notifying the city administrator of his plans, and said he’d done so because his case wasn’t expected to go to trial. The next day, he was at his first council meeting in months. Two days after that, his lawyer said he was working with the special prosecutor on an alternative resolution — one that would take place out-
side the courts — to the sexual assault charge. In an interview with The TriCity News last week, Vagramov said he felt compelled to return to city hall because much of his email was about him going back to work and he blamed “partisan hackery” for opposition to him resuming his duties. So this is the pattern: selfinflicted wound; denial/deflection/blame; no sign he has learned from previous mistakes. While we make no judgment as to Mayor Vagramov’s guilt or innocence in his criminal case — that is for the courts to decide, though it appears now that won’t happen — it’s time he break this pattern for his own good and that of his constituents. And the first step toward doing that is for him to resume his leave of absence until his criminal case is fully and finally resolved.

Feds ‘stacked the deck’ on Trans Mountain pipeline
Trace trail of litter from fast food joints to Tri-City schools
The Editor, Re. “Pipeline would endanger human life” (Letters, tricitynews.com, Sept. 6). I am writing today to voice my displeasure with the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) process and the corruption of the values espoused by our current federal government with respect to its treatment of First Nations and the climate change crisis. The purchase of Trans Mountain pipeline by the federal government destroyed any chance of an unbiased consultation process and is a clear case of the fox minding

the chickens. The consultation ordered by the Federal Court of Appeal ruling Aug. 30, 2018 was biased on its face as the federal government, through its purchase of the project, is now the proponent with five billion taxpayer dol-
lars invested. I believe the Federal Court of Appeal intended all options to be on the table in its ruling, including the project not going ahead. If there was no chance to get to No, how could the concerns of the na-
tion be fairly considered? The federal government has stacked the deck with its purchase of the project and, thus, has violated the courtordered obligation to perform meaningful consultation and negotiate in good faith. It is absolutely insane that the feds have wasted taxpayer dollars to buy a bitumen export pipeline that will endanger our coast, remove our ability to receive value-added revenue/jobs and further encourage the heavy oil industry that has proven to be a climate change nuclear bomb. Geoff Hunt, Port Coquitlam
The Editor, Re: “’Disgusted’ at dumping on Coquitlam trail” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 5). I agree wholeheartedly with the letter writer about the amount of litter being left around our cities. I routinely pick up litter from several streets around my home and, sadly, it starts to reappear within a few hours of my clean-up efforts. The amount of litter also increases dramatically every time school resumes after any sort of a break. In fact, you can follow a trail of cups and food
wrappers from every fast food restaurant in the area back to the neighbourhood schools. Shame on my generation for introducing these disposable items in the first place, but shame, also, on the current generation for continuing to dispose of them inappropriately. Surely we can teach our children better habits. After all, they’re shaping the world they’re going to live in as adults and, if current trends continue, that world is going to be even messier than it is now. Keith Walker, Port Coquitlam

2019 FEDERAL ELECTION
Candidates won’t attend church meeting Concerns about antiLGBTQ messaging from church, pastor
“For some people, equality feels like oppression.”
STEFAN LAbbé slabbe@tricitynews.com
An all-candidates debate that was to be held at the Westwood Community Church in Coquitlam has ostensibly been scuttled after candidates from across the TriCities declined invitations citing objections to the church’s record on LGBTQ rights. The decisions to boycott pastor Giulio Gabeli’s planned Oct. 10 debate came after the latest exchange between activists in the LGBTQ community and the church. Last week, Nicola Spurling — a former provincial Green Party and Coquitlam council
Nicola Spurling Former candidate, trans activist
candidate, and a trans activist — was tipped off to the church’s association with a network of right-wing activists who support upending homosexual and transgender rights in the name of traditional Canadian values. Last Friday, Spurling took to Facebook, tagging both the church and every candidate for the federal election in the
Tri-Cities, calling on them to decline the church’s invitation and denounce its actions. Gabeli characterized Spurling’s actions on social media as a smear campaign designed to discredit the church and silence its freedom of religious expression. “This is an assault,” said
Gabeli. “We have never said anything about the LGBTQ community.” But a look at the pastor’s actions reveals a different story. Gabeli is a founding member and signatory to the OneAccord, a religious document signed by hundreds of church leaders across Canada that calls out homosexuality and “transgender self-perception” as modern-day heresies. In a video posted to the group’s website, Gabeli calls out his adversaries in the LGBTQ community, saying: “Our opponents are determined to silence the voice of Bible-believing leaders and Christians in the public arena who do not agree with a morality of inclusivity and a sexually progressive Canada. This is the fruit of a strategic opposition to the Judeo-Christian values that have shaped our democracy
by left-wing organizations and lobbyist groups.” In closing ranks with the religious right, Gabeli appears to have forged links with antiSOGI activist Kari Simpson and People’s Party of Canada candidate Laura-Lynne Taylor Thompson. In one video posted to his Facebook feed, Gabeli speaks at an anti-SOGI rally in downtown Vancouver. Now, after several candidates decided not to attend the debate, Gabeli says the candidates have lost the authority to represent “all Canadians.” But Spurling says Gabeli is missing the point, and that if another church hosted an all-candidates meeting, the LGBTQ community wouldn’t have a problem. “Essentially their goal is to mislead people what LGBTQ rights are all about,” Spurling told The TriCity News. “For some people,
equality feels like oppression.” In interviews with The TriCity News, each NDP, Liberal and Green campaign confirmed their candidates will not be attending the debate, save Conservative hopefuls Nelly Shin and Nicholas Insley, whose campaigns said they had not yet made a decision. In declining to attend the debate, several candidates made statements denouncing the church and pastor’s records on homosexuality and transgender rights. “I had looked forward to an open, honest conversation and how they represent Christianity in our community,” said Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Green candidate Brad Nickason. “But with them, there is no debate. There’s only one conversation. I’m not going to legitimize them.”
Federal leader visit ‘shows the riding matters’ continued from front page
Before the two Tri-City districts were re-drawn in the lead-up to the 2015 election, Conservative MP James Moore had won every election from 2000 to ’11 by safe margins. But where Moore had a long track record in favour of progressive social issues such as same-sex marriage, current Tory candidate Nicholas Insley appears to be more closely attuned to the Christian right. According to reporting by The BC Catholic, on Feb. 27, Insley (along Port MoodyCoquitlam Conservative candidate Nelly Shin) attended an anti-abortion presentation at Coquitlam’s Westwood Community Church led by Alissa Golob, an anti-abortion activist and founder of the action group Right Now, which advocates overhauling abortion laws in Canada.
MEET THE CANDIDATES
For details of all-candidates meetings, the first of which will be held on Oct. 1, 2 and 3, go to tricitynews.com Last week, The Tri-City News reported online that People’s Party of Canada (PPC) candidate Brian Misera was forced out of the campaign after he called out racist “human garbage” within his own party (see story, page 21). A spokesperson for the PPC said it has no plans to run another candidate, a turn of events that positions Insley to bring far-right voters into the Tory tent.
POMO-COQUITLAM
Just as McKinnon picked up his seat in the wake of James Moore’s retirement in 2015, first-time Liberal candidate Sara Badiei is looking to do the
same as longtime NDP MP Fin Donnelly retires in Port Moody-Coquitlam. Badiei — like her Conservative rival Shin, a former missionary, teacher and singer who was parachuted into the Tri-Cities from Ontario — appears to have been handpicked. Along with a wide set of credentials in engineering and humanitarian work, Badiei has appeared alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a number of recent photos ops, on Rocky Point Pier during the B.C. Day long weekend and, most recently, flanking the Liberal leader at the party’s first rally of the campaign in
Vancouver-Kingsway. “When the leader shows up, it shows that the riding matters,” said Press. “It tells [party organizers and voters] ‘We need this, we need all hands on deck.’ It does really make a difference.” But convincing Port MoodyCoquitlam residents to vote Liberal could be a challenge in riding where the NDP has traditionally had a strong base of support. And while Donnelly’s departure casts a level of uncertainty over the race, threeterm Coquitlam Coun. Bonita Zarrillo has taken up the NDP mantle, carrying the most local name recognition out of any candidate in the riding. In another sign of how much the riding matters, earlier this spring, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced his party’s trademark universal pharmacare plan at Pasta Polo in Coquitlam.
“She’s a typical strong NDP candidate,” Gerald Baier, a UBC professor of political science, said last week. “If they can hold onto that [seat], that’s a big litmus test for the NDP. If they can’t, that’s going to be a great indicator of a precipitous fall.”
WILDCARDS
In a campaign where victory increasingly hinges on the performance of each party’s national leader, candidates without a strong local presence tend to lean on their parties’ bigger narratives, Prest told The Tri-City News. That could benefit Green Party candidates Brad Nickason of Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam and Bryce Watts of Port Moody-Coquitlam. While the Greens are largely a one-issue party, that issue — climate change — has become increasingly important to Canadian voters. That is
especially true among young voters, something that could make a difference in the TriCities, where the population skews slightly younger than the national average. Because the proposed Trans Mountain expansion project passes through the Tri-Cities, Prest said some local voters could be mobilized in the same way as the residents of Burnaby North-Seymour. “The pipeline actually affects people in the riding, so that gives them a focal point to organize some resistance,” he said. But with polls suggesting the majority of B.C. voters are split or often in favour of the pipeline, the Green’s success at the ballot box could require them to shift the debate around pipelines, instead appealing to the wider sensibility among voters that climate change is the biggest issue of our time.

2019 TERRY FOX HOMETOWN RUN
A19
PHOTOS: ELAINE FLEURY & ROBERT MCDONALD
The weather was dark and a little chilly but the participants came by the thousands Sunday to pay tribute to Port Coquitlam hometown hero Terry Fox. The 39th annual Terry Fox Run was staged at four sites in the Tri-Cities — the Hyde Creek recreation complex Port Coquitlam, Mundy Park in Coquitlam, Rocky Point Park in Port Moody and at the Anmore fire hall — with the aim to raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research. As of Monday, the local numbers had yet to be confirmed but the Coquitlam run’s co-organizer Erin Davidson reported her run site saw more than 300 participants and collected more than $14,000 — an increase over last year’s figure. “Loved that the rain held off and the positive energy of the participants, volunteers and supporters is overwhelming!” she wrote in an email to The Tri-City News, noting next year will be the 10th anniversary of the Coquitlam run (and will mark the 40th Terry Fox Run). And Donna White, provincial director for the B.C. and Yukon Terry Fox Foundation branch, which is based in Port Coquitlam, also applauded those who came out to support Fox’s dream. White was at the Vancouver run at Stanley Park, which will see the end of its sponsorship from the Four Seasons Hotel when the downtown building closes Jan. 31, 2020 (the Four Seasons chain has backed the Fox fundraising campaign since its inception Sept. 13, 1981). “It’s amazing to see, every year, thousands of people come out to celebrate the legacy left to us by our own hometown hero,” White told The Tri-City News. “We see everything from babies in strollers to seniors who are still walking for Terry. There were first-time Terry Fox Run participants and hundreds of those who have participated in all 39 Terry Fox Runs. It continues to show that Terry’s dream is very much alive and that the torch he passed to us all still burns brightly,” White said. – JANIS CLEUGH For more photos follow us on Instagram #tricitynews

FEDERAL ELECTION
PPC candidate ousted for calling out racists ‘We’re not wackos,’ says PPC candidate for North Vancouver STEFAN LAbbé slabbe@tricitynews.com
The People’s Party of Canada candidate for Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam has been forced out of the party after he received an email from party headquarters stating his candidacy had been revoked. Last Wednesday, Brian Misera announced on Twitter that he had been cut loose by the party two days after he released a series of videos denouncing PPC leader Maxime Bernier for not calling out racist “human garbage” within the party’s ranks. “I’ve received some legitimate concerns about the PPC,” he said in one of the videos. “It’s not enough to expunge racist idiots from the party.” He said door-knocking has been particularly challenging as he has consistently been
forced to defend the party’s racist image. “You should understand how hard it is to canvas and talk to people. I don’t want to be berated by people who think I’m an actual nazi,” he said. Misera also expressed his frustration with what he characterizes as the party’s pivot towards climate denial, specifically referring to a Sept. 2 series of tweets in which Bernier targeted teenage Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, calling her “clearly mentally unstable. Not only autistic, but obsessive compulsive, eating disorder, depression and lethargy, and she lives in a constant state of fear.” “This was not part of the platform when he founded the party,” Misera said. “I would much rather, Maxime, that you stop picking fights with 16-yearold girls who want to save the world in order to push your point of view.” The Tri-City News asked to speak to a party spokesperson and was connected with North Vancouver PPC candidate Azmairnin Jadazji, who con-
firmed Friday that Misera was ousted from the party. “Our party’s headquarters saw those rantings and rightfully dismissed him as a candidate because he’s cracking under pressure and does not reflect our positions,” said Jadazji, who says he has become a party spokesperson by default. Jadazji rejected accusations his party has a problem with racism and when asked whether the PPC has done enough to reject racist ideologies, he said, “It’s a free country. I could walk into a KKK [Ku Klux Klan] meeting if there was one here but it has nothing to do with us.” On the issue of climate change, Jadazji was more direct, questioning the overwhelming scientific consensus that human activity has made a marked difference to the planet’s changing climate. “Our party is the only one that is not drinking the Kool-Aid on climate change,” he said. “We’re a reasonable, rational Libertarian party. We’re not wackos.”

‘Remarkable’ Bordeaux Will Have Wine Aficionados Lining Up for BC Liquor Stores Release Every September, for more than 30 years, wine lovers and collectors have lined up overnight at BC Liquor Stores in the hope of securing some premium bottles of that rock star of wines — Bordeaux. This year — Saturday, September 28th — will likely be no exception, and may attract even more enthusiasts for the release of the 2016 Bordeaux. Many wine experts deem the 2016 vintage particularly remarkable due to a uniquely, long growing season. “The result is wines with concentration and power … but with the incredible depth of flavour that comes with slow-ripening. The [2016] wines have a level of finesse and drinkability that we don’t usually see in a powerful year,” says Barbara Philip, Master of Wine and Category Manager for BC Liquor Stores. Philip can attest to the spectacular attributes of the 2016 vintage, because, not only has she tasted a vast array of Bordeaux offerings, she’s the person who buys the European wine for BC Liquor Stores. Bordeaux is typically purchased en primeur or buying on futures. Barb carefully selects the wines for our annual Bordeaux release. Because Bordeaux is so highly allocated and such a famous wine, Philip says, retailers and importers, have to decide on and purchase all the wines — mostly reds but a few whites — about two years before they’re ready and two and a half years before actually taking possession of it.
“It is not a finished wine yet. These are samples that come from the barrel and they still have at least 12 months of aging to do. They are not wines that are pleasant to drink at that time. So, you look for indicators,” she explains. When the wine finally does arrive, it’s released all at once. “Nothing else really works like that,” Philip adds. As with every Bordeaux vintage, there are the ever-present stand out wines that collectors covet and that will cellar well for many years. The Trotanoy ($425), Lafite Rothshild ($1,500) and Pétrus ($3,500) will be among the first to sell out, Philip predicts. Exciting though for this year is that the quality of the 2016 vintage is evident across a range of price points. There are less expensive wines that allow more consumers to experience the region and the vintage. Philip cites the Chateau Saint-Bernard (Bordeaux AOC) at $25, noting that its approachable style offers a real sense of Bordeaux. “It tastes like Bordeaux. It tastes like the vintage — so delicious,” she says. A slight step up in price is the Chateau Lanessan, which at $40, is still an affordable expression of Bordeaux quality.
As 2016 was a spectacular vintage, there are about 12,000 cases of Bordeaux landing in BC Liquor Stores in mid-September, 2,000 of which will be at the 39th & Cambie location. A week before the release, the Cambie flagship store hosts an exclusive tasting event that gives wine aficionados a preview of the vintage. This ticketed event sells out quickly this year sold out within minutes of the tickets being released. The 2016 yield, however, based on sheer volume of product range, offers unprecedented access to the Bordeaux vintage. “A vintage like ’16 makes Bordeaux very inclusive,” Philip says. “It can satisfy the collectors or [who] are paying someone to wait in line to buy Pétrus for them.” And there will be a selection for people to pick up a handful of wines for under $100.

SD43 targets stress of kids, staff Mental health a part of education for both students & teachers
WHAT FACTORS CAN HELP
Protective factors against youth suicide: • Strong family supports and connections • Positive peer and online relationships • Belonging to positive group in person or online • Good physical health • Resilience • Autonomy • Sense of purpose • Hope • Feeling cared for

ike many teachers, students and parents, Rachel French dealt with the stress of getting back into a school routine in the final days of August. Her first few days back at her School District 43 office were hectic, with no sense of things slowing down. But the district’s co-ordinator of positive mental health knows that getting enough sleep, taking mental breaks and understanding that stress is a normal part of life helps her get through her day. Now, the veteran school counsellor is finding ways to help her colleagues teach students to recognize emotional overload and ways to deal with it. “Sleep — getting back into that, that’s really important for wellness — and normalizing stress, [understanding] that when we are starting school that we’re all a little bit nervous and excited, that’s really normal,” French told The Tri-City News. As school moves into a busy fall and winter, SD43 will be incorporating a number of strategies to help staff and students deal with stress and recognize when issues need additional support. The initiatives come as a BC Coroners Service Death Review Panel issued recommendations on ways to prevent suicide deaths among youth. It found that 111 young people age 10 to 18 years old
By THE NumBERS • The BC Adolescent Health Survey (2018) of 38,000 students in Grades 7 to 12 found that 11% of adolescent boys and 23% of adolescent girls reported suicidal thoughts • When asked about specific mental health conditions, students were more likely to report having some of these conditions in 2018 than in 2013: anxiety disorder/panic attacks (19% in 2018 vs. 8% in 2013), depression (15% vs. 10%), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (7% vs. 6%), and post-traumatic stress disorder (3% vs. 1%). Rachel French is School District 43’s co-ordinator of positive mental health. She oversees a number of initiatives to encourage students and teachers to understand mental wellness, and incorporate strategies for mental wellness into everyday life. FiLE PHOTO

ended their lives between 2013 and ’18, experiencing feelings of hopelessness, distress or despair. And while
65% were dealing with relationship issues at the time of their death, 32% were experiencing educational issues.
The report made a number of recommendations, chief among them that mental wellbeing be incorporated
into social-emotional learning for students. French said she welcomes the report’s findings and agrees schools are a good place to start talking about mental wellness and ways to make it part of everyday life. “It’s a good thing that we’re actually talking about it more,” she said. “We’re recognizing that we’re seeing some of these things and, as educators, are promoting mental wellbeing to prevent them. We are working on how we can help kids build their toolbox.” Among the programs SD43 will be implementing will be Everyday Anxiety Strategies for Educators (EASE), which will help teachers working with kids up to Grade 7 incorporate anxiety-prevention strategies into their classroom routines. Secondary schools are also using the work of psychiatrist and professor Stan Kutcher,
now a Canadian senator, to teach secondary students how to distinguish between mental health and mental disorders, and learn how to ask for help when they need it. “It’s increasing those helpseeking skills and also creating a common language,” French said, so they can “recognize when it’s a stress response or when it’s a sign of a mental illness and they need to get support outside of the school or access a school counsellor to help them get outside support.” Not everything is a mental health crisis or disorder but sometimes a failed test or relationship will feel like it. Giving students strategies for reaching out, and the confidence to open a conversation, will help. And as the school year progresses, those will be part of the curriculum, along with reading, writing and numeracy.

HELPING REFUGEES
Refugees finding homes in Tri-Cities Refugees fleeing war and homelessness continue to find homes in the Tri-Cities, according to the latest figures from a Vancouver-based refugee settlement agency. In the first six months of the year, 22 people found homes in Coquitlam, roughly 11% of government-assisted refugees (GAR) who arrived in B.C. this year, according to the Immigrant Services Society of BC (ISSBC). Coquitlam was second only to Surrey, where 58 people have so far settled in the community, or 29% of the 189 GAR who came to B.C. since January. Other cities have also been able to house refugees, including Vancouver, where eight people were housed; Burnaby, where 13 people found homes; New Westminster, where 11 refugees moved; and Delta where eight refugees were accommodated. (GAR receive one year of federal government support and are required to register with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees,
and meet eligibility requirements before bring resettled in Canada.) But there are challenges in finding homes for everybody, according to ISSBC, which reports that 75 people are waiting to find permanent housing. B.C. is expected to take in 1,200 refugees this year, ISSBC said in its latest bulletin, and has so far only seen about 25% of that number. “The arrival flows for the remaining next six months of the year will be considerable,” the bulletin notes. Of those who have arrived so far 41.8% are children under the age of 18 and the top five source countries for GAR are Syria, Iran, Somalia, Iraq and Congo. As well as the 189 GAR who arrived to B.C. from source countries, 13 moved here from other provinces, according to ISSBC. A group called the TriCities Friends of Refugees has renovated and furnished several older townhomes in Coquitlam for refugees, including a townhome recently
repaired and updated for a single mother and her son. ISSBC, meanwhile, has offices in the Tri-Cities to help refugees find jobs and access services, and Settlement Workers in Schools are available to help families with school-aged children. For more information about the settlement workers, visit www.sd43.bc.ca/SWIS.

LITERACY & LIBRARIES
Self-care, science, culture and movies, too This feature, written by librarians with Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam, is published each Thursday to highlight programs and happenings in the Tri-Cities’ three libraries.
BOOK OF THE WEEK n Lily and the Octopus by Steven Rowley n Reviewed by Colleen Mahoney, Terry Fox Library
Lily the Dachshund has an octopus that has taken residency upon her head. Well, that’s how her owner, Ted, prefers to view the tumour that is slowly sucking the life out of his 12-year-old pooch. Originally written as a way to heal from his own dachshund’s death, Steven Rowley’s adult fictional story of Lily will resonate with anyone who holds a beloved pet in their heart. While Ted tries to deal with his aging dog, he is forced to realize he is aging, too, and is living a life of self-imposed isolation and loneliness. This book holds sadness but also much laughter, a bit of imaginative magical fantasy, and many endearing conversations between Ted and the vibrantly, living-life-large Lily. Lily’s zest for living and SPEAKING! IN! ALL! EXCLAMATION! POINTS! is brought to life by the amazing narration of Michael Urie in the audiobook. Whether you read or listen to this story, you will be reaching for a tissue and laughing out loud. (Reader’s tip: Do NOT read or listen to the last chapter in public.)

Eight schools in School District 43 offer morning breakfast supported by the Breakfast Club of Canada, with eight more local schools on the waiting list. Funds are being raised this month to support the program. SUBMITTED PHOTO HELPING HANDS
Join the (Breakfast) Club so kids aren’t hungry Non-profit is fundraising for school breakfast programs DIANE StrANDbErG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
A full stomach can ensure students achieve their full potential, making breakfast the most important meal of the day, says The Breakfast Club of Canada. This month, the non-profit is conducting fundraising drives at Tri-City Walmart stores and the Port Coquitlam Costco to raise funds for the program that provides healthy breakfasts for students in eight School District 43 schools as well as hundreds of other schools across the country. People can add a donation
to their bill when they cash out at the till, the Breakfast Club coordinator says. Danelle Kvalheim said the money is used locally to provide food as well as equipment to help local schools provide the program, and the current fundraising drive is an important factor in expanding the program so more schools can offer it. “There’s definitely a need and it’s growing,” said Kvalheim. In fact, there’s a waiting list of eight SD43 schools for the program, which provides a morning meal based on the Canadian food guide recommendations, including whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and lean protein. Kvalheim said the Breakfast Club works with the school district to decide which
schools benefit the most. As well as food, which costs $2 per day per child, the club also provides equipment, including a commercial dishwasher at one Tri-City school that serves breakfast to more than 120 students each day. Once a program is established, all students can partake, she said. “We want it to be a universal program. It’s important the programs aren’t stigmatized, everyone who wants breakfast and who is hungry can get breakfast, so they can focus on their studies and being with the friends and not being hungry throughout the day.” Walmart will be accepting donations through Oct. 4. Donations toward the program will also be accepted through the Breakfast Club website at breakfastclubcanada.org.
Major University seeks participants for national hearing study.
Professional, Individualized Care for Seniors
Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing. Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.
Why Participate? It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.
You can register to be a part of this major new hearing study † by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study *Wingfield, A., Tun, P. A., & McCoy, S. L. (2005).

Market has gone to the dogs D
o you ever wonder where the expression “dog days of summer” comes from? According to National Geographic, the phrase originally referred to the position of Sirius, the dog star, in the heavens. The ancient Greeks and Romans saw the star rising just before the sun during the end of July. When the phrase was translated from Latin to English, some of the meaning was lost and we started applying a plausible explanation to the phrase. Apparently, that is a human thing to explain something we don’t understand. So, in the spirit of dog days, let’s have a look at the dog days of market. Did you know we have five vendors who support our furry friends Boneheads Kitchen is a group of pals from New Westminster whose dog hiking business was the impetus behind the treats they make. Nate wanted healthy treats to take along with them when they were out walking and hiking, something the dogs would enjoy and they could use for training, too. Their treats were tested over time, on all their customers, so they know that even the finickiest pups will enjoy them. Boneheads uses only human-grade ingredients that provide great taste and
people food. The raw food is typically from one cow and includes not only the organ meats, but bits of bone as well. That makes a balanced diet for your pet as calcium and phosphorous are important for bone health. The dog food is also human grade. In fact, Barry has had more than one customer cook it, mistaking it for ground beef — although he did tell me that the customers thought it was a bit too

health benefits. All the treats have spices and herbs in them that help with digestion and inflammation. Earth Paws is another local company dedicated to your pet’s wellbeing. Kevin makes sodium-extracted dried anchovy treats for cats and dogs as well as dehydrated sweet potato dental chews. My pups love the dental chews and I appreciate that they come in different sizes as my dogs do, too. The treats are also human grade and contain no preservatives or grains. Kevin is a strong supporter of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind too, donating a portion of his proceeds back to this worthy organization. Redl’s Beef carries raw dog food. If you buy Barry’s beef for yourself, then you already know how amazing it is. Barry puts the same care into his dog food that he does his
coarsely ground! The Jerk Store has dog jerky. Kal has turned all his trim and off cuts into a chewy treat for our four-legged friends. He doesn’t add any seasoning, so all your pet is getting is pure beef — a great waste-free initiative! Lastly, Gabi and Jules makes dog cookies. Using the same principles used in their human baking, the peanut butter apple cookies
are baked fresh before market with only the finest ingredients. They are super popular, so go early to be sure you get some. Overall, the market is a great, pet friendly place. And after all, don’t they need a place to socialize too? Karen Curtis is the Lemonade Lady (www.kicslemonade. ca) at the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam farmers markets. Her column runs monthly.

Victoria Anthony sings out for BeYou 14-year-old plays Coquitlam Centre Sat. at 3:30 p.m. janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com
A whisper from Pink sealed Victoria Anthony’s future. Last May, before the American pop star played Rogers Arena, the Vancouver student used social media to catch her attention. Her online push to sing for Pink gained traction and, when Anthony got to her concert, she raised a giant sign inviting Pink to turn the microphone in her direction. Since then, the video of her performance in front of her idol and a crowd of 18,000 ticket-holders has been viewed more than 6.3 million times on Anthony’s YouTube channel. And Pink’s words of encouragement afterwards (“You’re amazing. Never stop.”) have resonated. Anthony told The Tri-City News about a month after the concert, she thought, “I’m going to write songs like her. I want to go try that.” Branding herself as a “singer, songwriter, dreamer, doer,” Anthony partnered with producers to make waves again. In February, she released her first single, Without You, and the following month came her first official radio single, titled Because I’m A Girl, co-written by a Toronto duo called The Fourth Floor. The video, directed by Riverdale actor Nathalie Boltt and produced by Keyon Slowly, came out in April; it

has been viewed online more than a million times. Her momentum continued in July when she dropped the dance mix version of Because I’m A Girl and made her concert debut at Vancouver’s Rio Theatre. Saturday afternoon, the 14-year-old sensation headlines the fourth annual BeYou girl empowerment campaign at Coquitlam Centre, with a concert featuring her two hits plus covers from Katy Perry,
Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys and Bruno Mars. Her show — scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at the mall’s northeast plaza (near H&M) — will also include some unreleased tunes she hopes to include on her first album, due out next year. A self-taught musician who draws inspiration from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Tori Kelly, Ed Sheeran and Lizzo, Anthony said she was invited to be a BeYou ambassador while pro-
moting her songs at an Ottawa radio station. A radio producer put her in touch with Morguard Investments, which has malls across Canada, including Coquitlam Centre. Anthony said she was thrilled to be asked to lead the cause, which — like her music — calls on girls to make a stand and support each other. As with her social media posts, she wants the message to have a ripple effect.
Still, while it’s targeted for girls ages nine to 16, Anthony doesn’t want to exclude boys from the conversation. “I think that the whole point is about equality,” she said. “It creates change…. With my [three younger] brothers, I talk to them about being proud of who you are. It’s being comfortable with yourself.” As for her online outreach, Anthony said she follows Swift, who, she says, “comes off as relatable, smart and good at what she does” with
her marketing. Anthony sometimes gets some help from her mother with postings (she has 10,000 Instagram followers on @ vicanthonymusic) but, for the most part, she’s on her own. Like Swift, she also tries to communicate directly with her fans in the public forum. “People are really awesome,” Anthony said. “I recognize them. They’re all super nice and supportive and telling me how my music relates to them.”

Juno judge helps PoCo Rotary club Peter Tam performs at a PoCo brunch for a fundraiser Sunday janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com
Peter Tam is thinking a lot about the rain these days: How it affects moods, what kind of sound it makes when it hits the ground, when there’s a break with the clouds. Rain — and the turbulent Pacific Northwest weather — are themes he’s pursing with his new song collection, a body of work he hopes to enter for next year’s Juno Awards. Last Tuesday, the Maple Ridge musician released the first of his new tunes, aptly
The Pacific Northwest weather is the inspiration for Peter Tam’s latest song collection. PHOTO submiTTed
titled Thanks for the rain, produced by Andrew Van Slee, who has worked with Michael Bublé. The pop-jazz song, Tam wrote on his website, “is a contribution of having gratitude for adversity in appreciation for how it gives us strength and resilience.” Sunday, he’ll premiere it at PoCo Blues: The Brunch series, a Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam Centennial fundraiser for the Starfish Pack Program in PoCo. His five-piece band will also cover songs made famous by Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and other crooners. Tam said he’s happy to entertain at the event as he has been a member of the Rotary Club of Haney for 11 years and is in his second year as presi-
dent; that club also supports a lunch bag program for kids whose families are in financial need. Although Tam doesn’t volunteer his musical talents with the Haney club, he’s known around the region for performing at private functions and running cultural drum circles. His latest thrust for composing came this year after he listened to David Foster at the Juno Awards gala in London, Ont. The Grammy awardwinning songwriter, arranger and producer was honoured for his humanitarian efforts and backing charities with his foundation. Tam, a Juno Award judge for three years, was also able to hobnob behind the scenes with nominees and fellow
artists, and was drawn to their passion for creating music. Their words galvanized his decision to make the jump from Juno judge to Juno applicant. “Coming back from London, I had this clear vision of where to go,” he told The Tri-City News. “I was inspired by speaking to these people and hearing from David Foster.” Now, with his first single out, his plan is to produce 11 more and have them available on digital platforms and via an old-fashioned format: pressed into vinyl. For tickets to PoCo Blues: The Brunch Series featuring Peter Tam, visit pocorotary.ca. The fundraiser takes place Sept. 22 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The Bennett Craft and Kitchen (2099 Lougheed Hwy., PoCo).

Tattle’s tale: PoMo puckster aims for success Heritage Woods grad excited to play for friends and family MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
Saturday’s home opener for the Coquitlam Express will be extra special for one rookie forward. Port Moody’s Ryan Tattle, who just turned 18, is expecting a sizeable contingent of family and friends to make the quick drive from the Heritage Mountain neighbourhood where he grew up and still lives with his parents. Tattle said playing in front of crowd of Tri-City hometown fans brings a little extra pressure — “You just want to impress them,” he said. Making an impression is nothing new for Tattle. Coach Jason Fortier said he has “incredible passion, energy and joy playing the game of hockey,” adding, “He skates hard regardless if he is on an offensive chance or trying to come back in the D-zone.” Tattle was not an unfamiliar quantity coming into training camp. The Express called him up for two games last season as an affiliate player from his Major Midget team, the Vancouver North East Chiefs, for whom he scored 24 goals and added 24 assists in 40 games. And while his stats line from that taste of the BC
Coquitlam Exress coach Jason Fortier says Port Moody rookie forward Ryan Tattle, right, is a hard skater in the offensive and defensive zones. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Hockey League shows only a single minor penalty, he said the experience showed him what he would have to do to stick with the team permanently. “I got to see what I needed to work on to get to this level,” Tattle said. One of those things was speed. In the summer, Tattle worked with Karen Koss, a
power skating instructor at the Burnaby Winter Club while his dryland training including running sprints and up hills; as well, to build strength, he hit the gym every day. “You’ve got to put in the time,” Tattle said. “You’re playing with men now.” Coming into camp, Tattle said he was confident he could skate with his new teammates.
“I think I’m fast,” he said, noting he also takes pride in his versatility, an asset he hopes will help him earn ice time. “I can play anywhere in the lineup,” he said. “Whatever the coach needs, I can do my best.” Fortier said he values Tattle’s enthusiasm and willingness to mix it up, even against players bigger than
him — he’s a slim 5’10”, 165 lb. “He had a great summer training, putting on weight,” he said. “We expect him to continue thriving.” For his part, Tattle said he appreciates Fortier’s directness and that he pulls no punches if he makes a mistake. “He’s pretty black and white,” he said. “You’ve got to learn from your mistakes and
you have to hear it from the coach.” In the Express’ seasonopening win over Langley Sept. 7, which also happened to be Tattle’s birthday, he started on a line with Connor Gregga and Gregory Lapointe, and also saw some time killing penalties, nearly combining with defenceman Nicholas Carabin to score a shorthanded goal. Tattle said getting more of those opportunities will be directly connected to the effort he expends on and off the ice. “You see the work pay off when you get a scoring chance,” he said. Tattle, who graduated from Heritage Woods secondary last spring, said still living at home makes it easier for him to focus on hockey than some of his teammates who come from as far afield as New Jersey and Quebec and have to manage their lives while bunking with billet families. “All the other guys are making sacrifices,” he said. “Living at home is a big perk.” Playing there, too. • The Express host the Chilliwack Chiefs on Saturday, 7 p.m., at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The game is the first of a five-game home stand during which the club also plays the Prince George Spruce Kings Sunday at 3 p.m., the Merritt Centennials next Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. and Salmon Arm and Alberni Valley next weekend.

While the major rainstorm that was forecast held off, dozens of riders still got dirty at last Saturday’s annual Donkey Cross cyclocross race in Port Coquitlam’s Castle Park. The race was the first of seven that comprise the Lower Mainland Cyclocross series. Cyclocross is like steeplechase racing on two wheels. Riders navigate a winding, undulating course for several laps that includes obstacles, a metres-long “beach” of soft sand, and even a stretch of snow from a local arena dumped into a corner. The next race in the LMCX is scheduled for Sept. 22, at the Garibaldi Springs golf course in Squamish. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS Sign up for our newsletter at tricitynews.com

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
BC RUGBY UNION
Terry Fox Ravens ball carrier Gavin Whittingham fumbles the ball as he’s brought down by Kelowna Owls tackler in the first half of their BC Secondary Schools Football Association junior varsity game, last Thursday at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam. Fox lost the game, 13-12. In senior action, Fox lost its second game of the season, 28-7, while the Centennial defeated Sullivan Heights, 38-0. It was the Centaurs first regular season victory in three years. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A United ball carrier tries to escape the clutches of a Scribes tackler in their BC Rugby Union women’s Fall Mainland B division match, last Saturday at Hume Park in New Westminster. United won, 29-5. Taylor Einhorn scored two tries and added two conversions, while Penelope Saverton, Alex Darts, and Yvonne Lai also scored. Marlena Holynski and Lisa O’Neil had strong games defensively. On the men’s side, United Div. 1 team lost to Abbotsford, 64-21, and the Div. 2 side also lost its match in Abbotsford, 4112.

Speculation tax still open to change: finance minister The provincial speculation and vacancy tax (SVT) is “working” — but that doesn’t mean it isn’t open to some amendments, finance minister Carole James told media September 12. The minister, in Vancouver to meet with mayors of affected municipalities to discuss impact of tax on housing in their communities, held a press conference to announce the latest results of the SVT. James said that the SVT was “working,” with $115 million of revenue collected in the 2018/19 fiscal year, B.C. average home prices declining, more rental home supply coming on stream and 99.8 per cent of British Columbians exempt from the tax. When asked why projected revenue from the SVT is not expected to decline over the next few years, which it would if more homes were successfully being rented to avoid the tax, Minister James said this was because the tax rate for foreign buyers and satellite families increases after the first year, from 0.5 per cent of assessed value to two per cent. However, this response does not account for the consistency of projected revenues in year three.
CHANGES COULD BE MADE Despite the government’s
-
message that the tax is a success, the minister was clear that some of the finer details of the SVT legislation were still a moving target, and could be affected by her discussions with the mayors of affected municipalities. James said, “Part of the reason I’m meeting with the mayors... is to hear from them first-hand the kinds of issues they want to bring forward from their communities. We will continue to review the tax — we’re always trying to improve our taxes so we will be looking at specific cases.” The minister said that the revenue being collected will go into the Housing Priority Initiatives Account, which is reported publicly, so that taxpayers can see how the funds are being spent to improve housing. “The minister of housing and myself have been calling on organizations to come forward with their ideas and contributions on affordable housing, and these dollars will help. We’re also open
to ideas and contributions from mayors and their councils.”
STRATA RENTAL RESTRICTION EXEMPTION Asked about strata units that cannot be rented out due to strata rental restrictions, for which an exemption only applies in 2018 and 2019, and whether that exemption will be extended, the minister said, “This is a policy decision that will be made, with input from the mayor’s meeting and other contributions, and we’ll make a decision on that this fall.” Following the media Q&A and the minister’s departure, finance ministry communications director Katie Robb was asked whether the expiration of this strata rental exemption could be because the B.C. government is considering outlawing all condo rental restrictions. Robb responded, “That’s an issue
that is being worked out along with the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs, so we’re working on that policy decision.”
TAXING DEVELOPMENT SPACE At the same time as the press briefing, immediately next door in the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver, the Urban Development Institute (UDI) was holding a breakfast panel seminar with property tax and assessment experts to discuss the slate of new B.C. housing-related taxes. Paul Sullivan from Burgess, Cawley, Sullivan & Associates told the UDI audience that applying the SVT — along with other new provincial and
municipal taxes — on development land was pushing up the cost of housing by a typical $54,000 for a new 800- 900-square-foot condo in Vancouver. The SVT in particular has a high threshold for exemption, as a developer has to pay the tax if construction has not yet started, even during demolition, remediation, and while waiting for a development permit from the City. “This could take years, and this is part of what adds to the cost of new housing,” said Sullivan.

Don and Donna Stewart
Celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary on September 18th, 2019.
HORTON, Elsie Irene June 1928 - September 2019 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of (Elsie) Irene Horton, beloved wife, sister, mother, grandma, great grandma and friend. Irene is survived by her children Stephen (Karen), Gary (Sandy), Dexter (Deb), nine terrific grandchildren (Chris, Nick, Graeme; Jennifer, Stephen, Kaitlyn; Brandon, Evan & Noel) as well as eight fantastic great grandchildren (Amaya, Meliya, Khyden; Evie; Oliver, Lucas; Roland & Ryah). She loved and cherished them all. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews in Canada, USA, and England. Irene is predeceased by her husband, Stanley Clifford Horton, her mother, Dorothy, her father, Maurice, her sister, Dorothy, and her brother, David. Irene was born in Walsall, Staffordshire, England to Dorothy Kinson Taylor and Oliver Maurice James. Irene and Stan married in Walsall in 1948 and were married for 70 years. She came to Canada with her family in 1957. The family started out in North Vancouver but soon moved to Port Coquitlam where she lived for 59 years. Irene worked for School District #43 as a teacher’s aide, from 1969 until her retirement at age 65. Irene loved travelling with Stan, whether in their travel trailer or internationally. She especially enjoyed her time travelling in the motorhome. There will be a Celebration of Life Service on Saturday, September 21st, at 2:00 pm, at St. Catherine’s Anglican Church, Port Coquitlam. A Tea will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Foundation of BC, #2-7630 Montreal Street, Delta, BC V4K OA7 or St. Catherine’s Anglican Church, Port Coquitlam. Burkeview Chapel 604-944-4128 firstmemorialportcoquitlam.com
Married in Lloydminster, Alberta in 1954, they resided in Alberta and Saskatchewan for many years until they moved to Coquitlam in 1967. They lived in Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and currently call Pitt Meadows home. They are the parents to four children, Sandra (McGovern), Linda (Padgett), Bryan Stewart and Tracey (Johnson). They are also the proud grandparents of Brynne McGovern, Cole Johnson, Tristan McGovern, and Madison Johnson.
Thanks, Mom and Dad for your ongoing example of love and devotion!
