Allix Duncan Grant, 23, Brad Smith, 24, and Nik Stimpson, 24, are Port Coquitlam pals who are trying to get in shape for a 2,500-km adventure race across India in a seven-horsepower motorized rickshaw next April to raise money for an organization that preserves rainforests as well as the Terry Fox Foundation. See story, page 19.

Unions representing workers at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital are lauding new security measures, training and a staffing boost expected to improve safety at the Coquitlam facility. The improvements are part of an action plan that was completed after an external review in February, said Lynn Pelletier, the vice-president of the BC Mental Health and Substance Use Facilities, and will result in the hiring of 20 additional staff in a variety of clinical positions. And while some of the initiatives will take longer to establish, putting more trained security in the high-risk units will happen immediately, Pelletier said. “We’ve placed security — one for each of the two high security units, they’re on the stations at all times. We also need to post these jobs and do training for staff — we’re fast tracking as fast as possible,” she said. see INCREASED, page 14

CIVIC ELECTIONS

What will it take to get you to vote? cities pull out all the stops to find out Social media and more advance voting among tools

Re. “Meet candidates for councils, school board” (page 3, VoteSmart, The Tri-City News, Sept. 19).

The Tri-CiTy News

Municipal staffers in the Tri-Cities are ramping up their communication efforts in the hopes of driving more people to the polls for the Oct. 20 civic election. Social media, early-voting opportunities, mail-in ballots and print advertising campaigns are just some of the tools they’re using as they seek to raise awareness about when, where and how an eligible voter can cast a ballot. “We have not set a specific target for voter turnout but our goal in every election is to encourage as many people as possible to exercise their right to vote,” said Angie Parnell, Port Moody’s general manager of corporate services. She said city staff work hard to make sure residents are aware of the key election dates — including advance polls — polling locations, hours of operation and who is qualified to cast a ballot. “We also ensure that all qualified electors have opportunities to vote, including people who can’t get to the polls on election day or during advance voting because they will be away from the community or are prevented by a physical disability, illness or injury,” Parnell told The TriCity News. In the most recent election in 2014, Port Moody had the highest voter turnout in the Tri-Cities, with 35% of eligible voters casting ballots. That figure is one of the highest in the area in the last three election cycles, where turnout in municipal elections has traditionally hovered around the 25% mark. Eligible voters in PoMo can pick up ballots at city hall and return them in person or by mail, Parnell said. Staff will also be routinely updating the city’s election website while ongoing reminders will be posted to the city’s various social media channels in conjunction with Port Coquitlam

This graph shows the voter turnout in the Tri-Cities in the last three elections: 2008, 2011 and 2014. and Coquitlam. Kathleen Vincent, the manager of corporate communications in Coquitlam, said her city has been putting together its Get Out and Vote campaign since the summer. She added staff in all three municipalities in the Tri-Cities have been working together to “leverage shared outreach opportunities to increase the reach of our messaging.” Coquitlam has also looked at ways of increasing its reach into parts of the community where English may be a second language and, after reviewing census date, translated digital election ads into Chinese, Korean and Farsi. The city is also adding an advance polling opportunity at Victoria Hall Oct. 12 to help boost turnout in the growing northeast neighbourhoods of the municipality. Port Coquitlam is also adding a polling station to make things more convenient for voters and are providing a variety of early voting opportunities and mail-in ballots. Pardeep Purewal, the city’s manager of communications and administrative services, said PoCo staff will be using a variety of tools — includ-

Temporary ice will melt half of PM emergency $ Council votes to spend $300k for portable ice plant

AMMONIA LEAK FIXED AT POIRIER Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex was temporarily closed Monday after sensors alerted staff to a “minor” ammonia leak. Kathleen Vincent, Coquitlam’s manager of corporate communications, said drop-in fitness programs were cancelled but the pool and fitness centre were re-opened to the public by 6 p.m. “In accordance with our protocols, we evacuated the building and called Coquitlam Fire/Rescue for HAZMAT response,” Vincent said in an email. “The issue was contained and there were no injuries to staff or patrons.” The facility was back to normal operations by Tuesday, she said. 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.

The Tri-CiTy News

Spending almost $300,000 to install a temporary ice plant to get Arena 2 at the Port Moody rec centre up and running will deplete the city’s emergency fund by almost half. But with only one ice surface operational at the PoMo recreation complex, the city is caught between a rock and a hard place that would affect user groups and families far beyond the city’s borders, said Kate Zanon, general manager of community services. Arena 2 had to be closed in August after a routine test detected the presence of ammonia in the brine lines that chill the ice. Arena 1 is not affected. Zanon told Port Moody’s council’s finance committee Tuesday that both of the city’s arenas are “programmed to capacity” through the winter season, including hockey tournaments that attract players and their families from across British Columbia. She

said while some programming has been juggled through September by cancelling the first session of skating lessons and accommodating some user groups in ice time purchased at Planet Ice in Coquitlam, that becomes more difficult as the hockey and skating seasons ramp up in October through March, when the ice is typically removed. “It would really impact everybody through the season,” Zanon said. “We could not function with just one arena.”

Zanon said that sense of crisis meant her team hasn’t yet had a chance to assess whether the faulty ice plant can be repaired or needs to be replaced. She said that process has been complicated by new requirements Technical Safety BC implemented in the wake of an ammonia leak at an arena in Fernie last year that killed three workers and led to the evacuation of 55 neighbouring homes. “We’re in a bit of unchartered territory here,” she said.

Coun. Zoe Royer, who was the only councillor who voted against the proposed expenditure, said the blow to the city’s emergency fund is concerning, especially as the potential costs of repairing or replacing Arena 2’s ice plant still aren’t known. “I worry we’re spreading ourselves very thin,” she said. But Port Moody’s general manager of financial services, Paul Rockwood, reassured the committee funds could be tapped from other reserves should some sort of emergency occur. “Depending on the scale of emergency, if it was local, all reserves would be on the table for council’s consideration,” he said. Zanon said about $40,000 of the $300,000 will actually pay for an upgrade to the arena’s electrical system that will remain in place after the temporary plant is no longer required. She said the temporary plant is expected to be installed and operational by Oct. 5, just in time for Port Moody Minor Hockey Association’s annual Bantam A and C tournament, which begins Oct. 6.

CHILD CARE

SD43, cities teaming up to fight daycare crunch Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

A task force made up of School District 43 and city officials will soon take on the challenge of finding solutions to the Tri-Cities’ daycare crunch. Tuesday, the SD43 board of education agreed to take on the initiative after a staff report detailed ongoing issues and challenges — including private daycares needing to use the playground and washrooms at Moody elementary school. “This is a prevalent challenge across the district and we need to come up with strategic plan,” said board chair Kerri Palmer Isaak. Palmer Isaak, the trustee for Anmore and Belcarra, said terms of reference will soon be drafted by district staff, and city councillors and child care organizations will be invited to participate because the community and councils have a role to play in coming up with solutions for more daycare spaces to meet demand. The decision comes after a meeting between SD43 and the mayors of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody — as well as Education Minister Rob Fleming and Minister of State for Child Care Katrina Chen — in late August held to

get answers about new provincial money for daycare spaces. “Long term, the bottom line is we need more space,” Palmer Isaak said. “We all have little pieces of this pie and we need to put them together so we have a better understanding.” One recent concern is children and staff from five daycares in the St. Johns Street corridor are showing up at Moody elementary as school is letting out in the afternoon to use equipment and washrooms, resulting in concerns about safety. Arrangements have been made to allow school staff to identify the adults and children, and to make sure the visits don’t happen just as students are coming out of the classroom. But the situation is not ideal and is arising because of the need for space and the fact daycares are now opening in storefronts with little or no outdoor space, Palmer Isaak said. “We were really struggling to accommodate a number of daycares at the elementary school site after school who were bringing young daycare children after school time and us trying to dismiss our own students safely at the same time.” Working with city councils could prevent some of these issues and promote communica-

tion and collaboration, Palmer Isaak said, noting that a large daycare was recently approved near the planned Sheffield elementary school in Coquitlam when the district was looking at putting a child care centre in there as well. “We have just learned about that at the district. That is something we should be talking about and collaborating more with the municipalities.” Already there have been efforts to work together, she said, suggesting that collaboration could result in some “creative solutions” for establishing more daycares and the task force will look at models in other cities where school and city officials are working together on projects. The district is also looking at its own facilities to see if more space can be found for daycares; a staff report said there may be opportunities to move a daycare into Moody middle’s neighbourhood learning centre and on a large site at Porter Street elementary school. Moody has not been able to attract arts-related organizations for its neighbourhood learning centre while Porter has space but, because of enrolment growth in the area, it might be needed in the future.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

2 trustees out, 1 is in Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

School District 43 will be saying goodbye to two longserving school trustees and keeping one on who has been acclaimed to her post. Kerri Palmer Isaak, the current board chair, was acclaimed as the trustee representing the villages of Anmore and Belcarra after no one else signed up to run against her in the Oct. 20 election. Palmer Isaak said she was relieved because not having to campaign means she can focus on board issues. She also said she loves the job of school trustee and would be disappointed if she were not re-elected. “It is a relief. I have to admit, running for election is very stressful. It takes you away from the job you are doing,”

BOOKS FOR PARKLAND ELEMENTARY A book store chain has adopted Parkland elementary in Coquitlam as one of the schools that will receive funds for literacy support. The Indigo Love of Reading Foundation is connecting high-needs elementary schools with their communities in a fundraising effort to generate donations and raise awareness about the need to support school libraries. All participating schools will receive every dollar raised for their school and are eligible for a matching donation of up to $1,200 per school from the foundation. To support Parkland, visit adoptaschool.indigo.ca. said Palmer Isaak, who also runs an interior design business and has one daughter at Heritage Woods secondary and another who graduated from the Port Moody secondary. Palmer Isaak also acknowledged the work of two outgoing school trustees who decided not to seek re-election. Judy Shirra, a Port Coquitlam

trustee, announced earlier this year she would not seek another term. Diane Sowden, a Coquitlam trustee, decided not to run again, as well. “They have been wonderful contributors, they bring a longterm perspective to the board,” Palmer Isaak said.

CP RAIL YARD FIRE

City says it’s prepping for future disasters Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News

Nine months after an explosion at the CP Rail yard in Port Coquitlam, city council publicly addressed the accident by saying it plans to do a better job responding to any future largescale disasters. This week, Mayor Greg Moore spoke about the Jan. 22 blast — the first time council has made a public statement about the three-alarm emergency (though the topic was not on Tuesday’s council agenda) — and noted “table-top exercises” with CP Rail will begin next month. (A request for comment from CP Rail was not returned before The Tri-City News’ print deadline.) Moore said PoCo staff have also reviewed emergency protocols and updated crisis communication plans and procedures as a result of the fire at the yard, one of the biggest rail hubs in western Canada. And in-depth crisis communications training for the city’s emergency operations centre crew is now underway thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Union of BC Municipalities that was approved in March. Meanwhile, foam retardant and firefighting gear have been added to the PoCo rail yard and

city smoke-eaters have become more familiar with the work site and its foam storage locations, Moore said. The mayor’s comments come two weeks after The TriCity News published a story about the communications breakdown between first responder agencies on scene, on the night of Jan. 22, 2018. According to internal debriefing papers released under a freedom of information request, officials complained about the “confusion” among city staff, the fire department, Coquitlam RCMP, paramedics and CP Rail representatives about what was happening — and who was in charge — when a locomotive collided with a tanker truck carrying ethanol. No injuries were reported. The city documents show frustration with Mounties that night about not having a senior member deployed to command.

Since then, Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Mike McLaughlin said, police have trained officers on incident command systems and pledged to have a high-ranking member on site in case of future disasters. “Moving forward, we continue to work on improving communications with the fire department,” McLaughlin said in a news release issued by the city Wednesday. “The improvements we’re making will help clear up confusion about evacuations, facilitate joint media and social media statements, and help translate and confirm the rapidly incoming and everchanging information.” At Tuesday’s city council meeting, Moore also encouraged PoCo residents and business owners to take the city’s free emergency preparedness courses; you can register at portcoquitlam.ca/ep. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

SETTING IT STRAIGHT Re. “Coquitlam council OKs temporary shelters” (The TriCity News, Sept. 19). The referenced article erroneously reported that cold/wet weather mat program users will not be permitted entry to the shelter if they are intoxicated. In fact, shelter users who have used drugs or alcohol may be permitted entry but can be barred based on their behaviour.

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

No shortage

Running for politics is still appealing to many, judging by the rich crop of candidates running or acclaimed for civic elections in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, anmore and belcarra for the upcoming four-year term. In fact, there is one more person running this year compared to 2014, for a total of 96 candidates stumping for votes in the oct. 20 election (including those anmore candidates who were acclaimed), compared to 95 in 2014. While voters will decide the quality of the candidates, we would argue local democracy is alive and well despite concerns raised by outgoing Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore that pension or transition allowances are needed to attract good candidates and social media abuse is turning people away. Whether they want to give back, believe they have the right stuff to lead or simply want to promote a political agenda, all the candidates in the upcoming election have a good reason to run despite the fact politics can sometimes be a thankless pursuit.

magine if a politician on Coquitlam city council were convicted of a crime, such as sexually assaulting a teenage girl. did you know that the rest of council and the public are powerless to force that politician off of council? It’s true. Pitt Meadows found itself in the same position when a man named david Murray, who was a municipal councillor at the time as well as a CHRIS CAMPBELL Port Coquitlam city employee, was convicted and then sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl almost two decades ago. He was convicted in 2017 and resigned amid public pressure four days later. but he didn’t have to. “No other community should have to deal with that,” Pitt Meadows Mayor John becker told delegates at last week’s annual union of bC Municipalities convention. “It can’t just be business as usual.” DelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

ELECTORAL REFORM REFERENDUM

SHELTER PROGRAM

The Editor, The provincial electoralreform referendum is biased. Note the absence of the independent Citizens Assembly that administered the provincial referenda of 2005 and 2009. Instead of one question, there are two, which is a way of circumventing the provincial law that declares that a majority vote is necessary to bring about particular electoral reform. Do I foresee a Supreme Court challenge in the future? The first ballot question asks for a simple choice between our current first-past-the-post (FPTP) system or “A proportional representation voting system” (PR). Is this not like being handed a blank cheque if you dislike FPTP? The second ballot question asks to rank your preferences from a selection of three choices if PR is successful. These options are: dualmember proportional (DMP), mixed-member proportional (MMP), and rural-urban proportional (RUP). Confused? Surely, if you voted for FPTP in the first ballot question, then you would be less inclined to vote in the second ballot ques-

The Editor, Re. “Coquitlam council OKs temporary shelters” (The TriCity News, Sept. 19). I writing to express my concern about The Tri-City News article about the approval of the cold/wet weather mat program. I spoke at Monday’s city council meeting on behalf the Parkland elementary school parent advisory council and the quotation you used from me minimized and dismissed some of the very valid concerns the parents of Parkland have about this program. Our school is located directly across from Calvary Church on Regan Avenue. Not once was the school or PAC or the parents of the daycare located in the church contacted by the city, church or Hope for Freedom Society to discuss and outline the plan for this program. If this program is as safe and well-run as the city claims, why was a transparent, open dialogue not initiated? Why was information on this proposal not readily available from city? Yes, the Hope for Freedom Society states that it will attempt

Referendum ballot biased

B.C. voters have received notices in the mail about the electoral reform referendum. tion. And I wonder whether my vote spoiled if I answer the first but not the second question. In all, there are four choices for PR and one for FPTP, which suggests that electoral reform is already tending towards an outcome. Instead of supplying the public with tried and tested PR choices for British Columbians, two such options on offer, DMP and RUP, have never before been implemented anywhere in the world.

The only plausible PR alternative is MMP, where the balance of proportional candidates are selected from a party list. Because the other two PR choices are purely experimental, the NDP government likely favours MMP but, in the meantime, it sows unnecessary public confusion and plays by subterfuge. Why not just have a clear vote between FPTP an MMP as alternatives? Surely provincial electoral reform could be brought to

public consideration in a more transparent and fair manner. What we have now is disproportionate representation. But even more importantly, voters should know that referenda are dangerous instruments that can over-rule the sovereignty of our legislative assembly. The solution: tell your MLA that you think the vote is illegitimate and that it should be rescinded. Joerge Dyrkton, Anmore

No open dialogue on shelter program

to screen and select low-risk homeless people for this program but they cannot guarantee 100% that negative events will not happen. The permit states that the community needs to be consulted but the city council, in my opinion, had no interest in entertaining our concerns or even informing us. This program is a Band-Aid solution for the homeless crisis in the Tri-Cities. Let churches and volunteers offer a temporary solution instead of properly investing in mental health, addiction and recovery services and social housing. And for the councillor who dismissively said schools are only open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., so why are we worried: Parkland is the hub of our community and not only teaches 270 children but houses four daycare/preschool programs and hosts numerous afterschool and sports programs. Our school is supposed to be a safe place in our neighbourhood every day, all day. Kim Parker, Coquitlam, Parkland PAC Chair

Pelletier, asked why the improvements are coming on stream now, months after the review was finalized and weeks after nurses and BCGEU staff raised concerns about assaults, said the funding for the additional resources was only

But she said a number of improvements to protect staff have already been put into place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commitment of resources to hiring additional staff and doing really intensive training, that was something that had been in discussion but we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got the resources.â&#x20AC;?

FUNDRAISING

PoCo trio plans for excellent adventure Rickshaw Run $ will benefit Terry Fox Foundation

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

Brad Smith is an accountant who’s about to do the most unaccountant thing in his life. The Port Coquitlam number cruncher and two of his buddies have signed up to do the Rickshaw Run, a 2,500-km traverse — in two-and-ahalf weeks — of India, from Jaisalmer in the north to Cochin in the south, in a seven-horsepower motorized rickshaw. Let that sink in for a moment. Three guys will be packed into a glorified tin can on three wheels powered by a singlecylinder, two-stroke engine of dubious reliability finding their way through the chaos of the world’s second-most populous country. “And we have no map,” Smith, 24, told The Tri-City News. Nothing could be further from balancing ledger sheets in an office all day. It was Smith’s childhood friend, Nik Stimpson, who got the wheels rolling on their crazy idea. While living in London, U.K., he’d heard about the thrice-annual event that is put on by a group called The Adventurists, who create

GREG KINCH PHOTO

Former Tri-City News photojournalist Greg Kinch participated in the Rickshaw Run across India in 2016. He said the best part of the sometimes harrowing experience was being able to see parts of the country that are far from the usual tourist traps. “Don’t worry about not getting to the Taj Mahal or other major sites,” he advises the Port Coquitlam trio set to participate in the race next April. “You will never get a chance to experience the backroads India from the seat of a rickshaw again.” slightly unhinged challenges in developing countries, including India, Mongolia and Sri Lanka, to raise money for charities. Half of the approximately $1,500 each team must raise goes to an organization called

Cool Earth, which works to preserve rainforests, while the other half is designated to the charity of the team’s choice. Smith’s crew is raising money for the Terry Fox Foundation. Despite the good causes, at

first, Smith and another friend, Allix Duncan Grant, dismissed the fantastical notion. “We’ll die on this trip,” said Duncan Grant, 23, whose most adventuresome travel destination to date has been Iceland.

But as the trio talked and pondered, they couldn’t shake the idea. They’re all young and not yet encumbered by the commitments of a family or mortgage. “Let’s do the crazy stuff now,” they remember thinking. And when Duncan Grant, who works in the aircraft industry, said he could probably find his way around a single-piston motorcycle engine, they paid the $800 deposit for their rickshaw, which will be refunded if the vehicle survives the trip. With seven months to go until the trio embarks upon their backroad adventure through India, they’re already preparing. Duncan Grant is studying YouTube videos to bring himself up to speed on the rickshaw’s mechanics. Smith, the logistics expert, has booked their transport to and from India and is immersing himself in country’s cultural quirks. “You want to respect that,” he said. “As a guest, you don’t want to disrespect anything.” He’s also busy coordinating their fundraising effort, which launches Friday, Sept. 28 with a pub night at the Cat and Fiddle

in Port Coquitlam that includes a silent auction and a 50/50 draw. Smith said the Terry Fox Foundation was an obvious choice as recipients of their fundraising as they are from the Canadian hero’s hometown and grew up with the annual run that is Terry’s legacy. Their lives have also been touched by cancer as relatives were lost to the disease. “It’ll be an honour to talk to people and spread the message of Terry Fox,” Smith said, adding they’ll have some T-shirts to pass out and hopefully a flag to fly from their rickshaw, which they get to customize before departing Jaisalmer after a two-day training session. But beyond that, Smith said they have no idea what to expect once they’re on the road. “No matter how much planning we do, we have to accept whatever happens,” he said. “It’s fun to go with the flow.” That’s a sentence, Smith acknowledges, that has likely never been uttered by an accountant before. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

3 & 4 Bedroom Townhomes Starting from the low $700’s Haven in West Port Coquitlam has a location story no one else has.

For traveling in and out, Highway 1 is close and Lougheed Highway is even closer. If you’re not picking up essentials in the charming downtown core, you’ll have convenient access east and west, plus a bridge-less commute into Vancouver. Home sweet home, indeed.

Coquitlam tacklers swarm a North Shore ball carrier during a recent minor football game at Mackin Park. Coquitlam Minor Football Association is celebrating its 40th anniversary this season even as declining interest in the sport has halved its number of youth teams over the years.

MINOR FOOTBALL

CMFA faces future challenges shoulder-on Flag football is growing while tackle football is hurt by concerns over concussions MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Coquitlam Minor Football Association is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Whether it will still be around another 40 years depends on how it adapts and responds to growing concerns about injury and concussions in the sport. Jeff Cusker has already seen football’s lustre faded by the second-highest concussion rate among youth sports in

Canada behind only hockey according to the public health information database compiled by the Canadian government. That perception of risk may be why football doesn’t even rank in the top ten sports for youth participation in Canada according to a study by Toronto’s Solutions Research Group. When Cusker was playing youth football for the Vancouver Trojans program, he remembers the Coquitlam association being chock-ablock with multiple teams in every age division. Now the CMFA is down to four teams playing in four divisions, a number that’s held steady for several seasons. Growth is happening in the association’s spring flag football program, though,

which now has more than 200 athletes. Cusker, who’s been coaching the game for 12 years, said that shift to the non-contact, five-players-a-side version of football is directly attributable to parents’ concerns about concussions. “We’re moving away from contact,” Cusker, a vice-president for the CMFA, said. “One concussion is too many.” But the growing popularity of flag football raises a red flag for the continued survival of the contact game and creates challenges for coaches and executives trying to keep it alive, especially at higher levels like high school and college. One response has been education, teaching coaches and players about the risks and signs of concussion while

reducing the opportunities for them to happen. “Football and concussions go hand-in-hand,” Cusker said. “When I was a player, you’d get a ‘ringer’ and you would go out onto the field again.” That’s not acceptable anymore. CMFA coaches must take a National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) with specific, standardized modules for football that include safe contact workshops with instruction on how to position the body properly to block and make tackles. Although even that is a work in progress as a recent edict by Football Canada for players to make hits by leading with their chest to minimize the risk for neck and head injuries was found to be impractical in ac-

tual game play. “The concept was great, but it doesn’t really work with the game,” Cusker said. “You can only make that kind of tackle about 5% of the time.” Instead, players are taught to lead with their shoulders and contact drills in practice are limited to no more than 90 minutes per week. And most of that is against inanimate bags and sleds rather than each other, Cusker said. Parents also need to be kept in the loop, especially as their kids make the transition from flag to tackle football. Cusker, who’s 10-year-old son also plays, said he has a meeting with parents at the beginning of the season to outline the type of training their kids will get and address any concerns they may have.

“We need to promote how we’ve evolved,” Cusker said. Ironically, football’s diminished status in the landscape of youth sports may actually help the game as families seek opportunities away from the more popular activities like hockey and soccer. “They feel somewhat unique playing football,” Cusker said. “It gives kids a sense of pride, leadership and individuality because of the uniqueness of the sport.” • As part of its 40th anniversary celebrations, CMFA will be hosting a special pancake breakfast at Mackin Park on Saturday, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Cost is $5 for two pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream, two sausages and coffee, tea or juice. mbartel@tricitynews.com

Clan men still perfect Team home after six road wins to start season MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO

Coquitlam Metro-Ford’s Luisa Rodriguez tries to get away from Fusion FC defender Morgan Flynn in their BC Premier League U17 match last Sunday at Coquitlam Town Centre Park. The match ended in a 2-2 draw.

The Simon Fraser University Clan men’s soccer team opened their home schedule on Thursday (after The Tri-City News’ deadline) anything but road weary. After travelling through California and then on to North Dakota, the Clan have racked up a perfect record of six wins and no losses. The third-ranked Clan wrapped up their month-long road trip last weekend with a pair of dominating wins in Bismark, N.D. They beat the University of Mary Marauders 5-0, then followed that up last Saturday with a 6-0 pasting of Oklahoma Baptist university. Coquitlam sophomore Matteo Polisi, a grad of Dr. Charles Best secondary school, had a goal and three assists against the Bison. That boosted his points total for the season to 20, tops in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. He scored two goals and had an assist against the Marauders. Polisi’s brother, Marcello, also figured on the scoresheet

of Saturday’s match against the Bison when he was ejected in the 83rd minute, in addition to four yellow cards that were shown to his teammates in the match. “I’m disappointed with our lack of self control in the game that was under control,” SFU coach Clint Schneider said afterward. “It was a big time lesson for my group about managing the game and our emotions.” The Yellowjackets have three wins, three losses and a draw in their seven non-conference

matches so far this season.

WOMEN WIN

The SFU women’s soccer team will travel to Bellingham, Wash. on Saturday for a match against 15th ranked Western Washington University. The team is coming off a 4-1 win over conference rival Western Oregon University last Saturday in Burnaby. Centennial grad Danae Robillard made her first start as a midfielder, directing two shots towards the Wolves’ goal. sports@tricitynews.com
