Erika and Fred Ledlin are getting ready to host their third annual Oktoberfest celebration in Port Moody Oct. 5 to 7. This year’s event is geared to adults, with space in one of the event’s two tents that used to be dedicated to kids’ activities now available for more swilling of beer imported from Germany.

Port Moody mayoral candidate Rob Vagramov is apologizing after a video he filmed of himself shotgunning a beer with a homeless person in exchange for a sandwich surfaced earlier this week.

But his apology Thursday was a change from his comments Wednesday, the day after the video began circulating on social media.

The profanity-laden clip was recorded in 2014 — the year Vagramov was elected a city councillor — and shows the then-22-year-old with a man identified as Bob outside the Granville Street SkyTrain station in downtown Vancouver.

Vagramov says to the camera that he was making the video after being nominated by another person on social media to conduct a “random act of kindness.” see vagramov, page 3

Glumac pulls endorsement, others don’t Labour council is still endorsing the mayoral candidate Diane StranDberG The Tri-CiTy News

Labour and environmental groups are sticking with Rob Vagramov as candidate for Port Moody mayor despite a controversial 2014 video in which he chugs a beer with a homeless person in exchange for a sandwich.

But Rick Glumac, MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam and a former PoMo city councillor, has withdrawn his endorsement — which was to be made public in already printed campaign mailouts being distributed to households in advance of the Oct. 20 civic election — because he has concerns about the video that surfaced Tuesday.

“A video of municipal candidate Rob Vagramov taken several years ago was shown to me recently,” Glumac wrote on his Facebook page Wednesday.

“The content of the video was deeply offensive and inconsistent with views and values I hold about dignity and respect for all people. After taking some time to reflect on what I saw and heard, I can no longer stand by my endorsement of [Vagramov’s] candidacy.”

But some are characterizing the video from 2014 as part of a campaign to make Vagramov look bad in the eyes of the voting public. “[The video] was trotted out deliberately at this time by his opponents in what I would call is a smear campaign,” Coun.

A screengrab from a 2014 video of Port Moody Coun. Rob Vagramov, now a candidate for mayor, in which he gives a homeless man a sandwich in exchange for the man shotgunning a beer.

Hunter Madsen said. “I am still supporting him, I still think he will be the better mayor for Port Moody.”

Madsen also said that while the behaviour on the video showed poor judgment, it was more of a stunt, with Vagramov “playing a character that he would say is dislikable,” and

was not a true reflection of his colleague.

“While I know Rob has to regret sort of the poor judgement in the tasteless, but not meanspirited, video that I think was not sensitive as it should have been to homelessness, to me — and I know he has apologized for it — it should not be a pre-

text for jettisoning his campaign at a time when we need a transition to new blood.”

To some of his supporters, Vagramov’s views on homelessness are more accurately revealed in another video — posted Monday on Facebook in anticipation of the original clip becoming public — where he

discusses homelessness with a psychologist than the profanityladen 2014 video.

In fact, the longer video posted to Facebook Monday is one of the main reasons the New Westminster District Labour Council (NWDLC) continues to endorse Vagramov for mayor in his bid against incumbent Mike Clay.

In an email to The Tri-City News, NWDLC secretarytreasurer Janet Andrews said that her labour organization — which suggests who its members vote for based on candidates with shared values — takes homelessness, mental health and addictions seriously.

She said the group is disappointed the 2014 video is being circulated “out of context” because the newer video shows Vagramov’s current views.

An environmental group called Force of Nature has also declined to drop Vagramov from its list of supported council candidates.

In an email, Katie Harrison, the group’s executive director, said Force of Nature doesn’t “condone” Vagramov’s choice to engage with a homeless person in such a matter.

“It is important to hold politicians accountable for their past actions and we hope that there will be an opportunity to move to a more thoughtful conversation about what needs to be done at a systemic level to address questions of homelessness and addiction,” Harrison stated.

A similar point was made by PoMo council candidate Amy Lubik, who has stepped down from her post as volunteer director of the group while campaigning. In an interview with

The Tri-City News, Lubik, who said she considers Vagramov a friend, said the original video shows a “lack of judgment” but the more recent video about homelessness shows that Vagramov is more aware of the issues around homelessness and he “does regret his actions” in the earlier video.

Lubik also said she worked with Vagramov on a motion to council to make sure Riverview is included in the province’s mental health and addictions strategy.

But one supporter — who worked with both Madsen and Vagramov early in the campaign — said she would like to see more of an apology from Vagramov.

“The video is about doing a random act of kindness. Well, kindness doesn’t look like that,” said Tasha Faye Evans, who is also running for PoMo council and said she got help from both Madsen and Vagramov in preparing her campaign, and agrees with Vagramov’s vision for the city.

“He needs to be able to apologize for his behaviour, not only apologize for his behaviour but to speak to what he has learned over the last four years about his leadership role and how he wants to correct his incorrect behaviours,” she said, suggesting that the longer video in which he talks about homelessness doesn’t go far enough in addressing the earlier video.

“It’s so disappointing because I want his vision. The alternative is that Port Moody is going to be led down another path,” Evans said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Vagramov says he’s ‘disappointed’ in his actions continued from front page

“I was pretty excited to get f---ed up, to be honest with you, until I realized it was a random act of kindness nomination,” he said into the camera. “So let’s see if we can’t do both and make somebody’s day.”

In the video, Vagramov asks a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk if he is hungry and the man responds, “Always.”

Vagramov then says: “On one condition, though. Do you know how to shotgun a beer?”

The two are then seen drinking beer together before Vagramov hands him some food.

In a statement released

yesterday, Vagramov stated he was disappointed in his actions, which he said “lacked empathy.”

“While I might not like that this video is being unearthed now by political opponents to hurt my campaign, I am far more disappointed in my actions back then,” he said in an email to The Tri-City News.

He also apologized to Bob, the homeless man who appears in the video. “Again, this is something that I would never even consider doing again, to anyone. Coming from a place of such privilege, I really do feel horrible about filming our meeting.”

Thursday’s statement was

a departure from comments he made to The Tri-City News Wednesday, when he said, without offering evidence, that the video was being used by his political opponents because “there is big money and development to be lost” if he is elected.

He initially said he was young at the time he filmed the video and that the homeless person in the clip was happy to participate.

“Do you think this was Bob’s first beer in his life?” Vagramov asked during a 25-minute interview Wednesday.

He also changed his story on an another video.

On Monday, the day before

the YouTube video surfaced, Vagramov posted a 13-minute video on Facebook of himself speaking with homeless advocate Christina Gower. At close to the three-minute mark of the video, Vagramov plays an edited version of his random acts of kindness video and talks about how his perspective has changed since the clip was filmed.

Speaking to The Tri-City News Wednesday, he denied producing the video to preemptively deal with potential fallout from the original clip, which he said he had only known about since Tuesday when it began circulating on Facebook.

But Thursday, he acknowl-

edged that he had known “some weeks ago” that opponents had “somehow gotten ahold of this video and might make it public to hurt my campaign.”

“Since I was developing a series of interview-based campaign videos on various locally topical subjects and affordability/homelessness was one of the topics, I made a point of working the old clip into the Gower interview to stress how differently I perceive homelessness today,” he said in his email yesterday. “So while the decision to add the five-year-old clip was preemptive, the video about affordability/homelessness was not.”

The four-year-old video was posted to YouTube Sept. 5 and a link was posted to a Port Moody Facebook group Tuesday. As of Thursday afternoon, the clip had been viewed more than 4,000 times.

One of the viewers was Port Moody-Coquitlam NDP MLA Rick Glumac, who sat with Vagramov on Port Moody council before being elected to the legislature last year and had endorsed his candidacy for mayor. In a Facebook post, he said the video was “deeply offensive” and rescinded his endorsement (see separate story, this page).

$173k requested for city website overhaul Mayor asks that archives be kept Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody is considering nearly doubling its budget to update city websites.

Council had already set aside $92,000 in its 2018 budget for the project but city staff came to council Tuesday asking for another $81,000 to upgrade a site that was last renewed in 2011.

The city’s previous provider, CitySoup, has gone out of business, which meant a migration to a new platform was immediately required, said a report to council. The urgency limited the scope of the project and did not allow for a detailed review of the site seven years ago.

“Staff do not want to repeat this process and are seeking to do more than recreate the status quo,” said the report.

The city wants to have more interactive content, two-way dialogue and improved search capabilities to help users intuitively navigate to find the content they’re looking for.

“We need to do this, we just simply need to do this. It’s high time,” said Coun. Zoe Royer.

Raman Braich, manager of information services, and other staff told council the feedback the city received included complaints that the city’s site had a lot of repetitive information which could be organized better and accessed more effectively and efficiently. Staff estimated the site’s 1,600 pages could be cut down to 500.

“Right now, the website is being used very much as an

SPeak Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. archive,” said Braich.

Although council voted to send the request for more cash to the city’s finance committee, Mayor Mike Clay wasn’t fully on board. He said one of his pet peeves is when the current official community plan was posted, the previous iterations were deleted. Clay said when people would ask how they came to a decision, he used to be able to point them to the archives to show the path the city took.

“I think you’re taking it in the wrong direction,” said Clay. “I think it is important that I can look at four, five, six, maybe 10 years of annual reports and see what the city did in 2010 or 2000.

“I don’t think it’s just an archiving tool but where better for there to be an archive of city information than on the city’s website? That’s really important.”

Clay added the website should have a Wikipedia-type feature about all things Port Moody by accessing local historians. He admitted his idea is beyond the scope of the current project but said, “We’re still way behind on the technology curve. We’re not on the cutting edge by any means but it would still be useful having that kind of information.”

The report proposed $53,000 of the additional funding would go toward website design and an implementation contract, and $28,000 for staff time, bringing the total to $173,000.

The estimated timeline to get it done for the city’s site is May or June of 2019 and April 2019 for the Port Moody Public Library site. The report noted the city received 22 bids from its request for proposals for the project posted last month.

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Erika and Fred Ledlin are getting ready to host their third annual Oktoberfest celebration in Port Moody Oct. 5 to 7. This year’s event is geared to adults, with space in one of the event’s two tents that used to be dedicated to kids activities now available for more quaffing imported beer.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Get gemĂźtlichkeit at annual Oktoberfest next week in PoMo German beer will flow Oct. 5 to 7 at big celebration MariO Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

For three evenings next week, Port Moody will become a suburb of Munich.

The organizers of PoMo’s third annual Oktoberfest, which runs from Oct. 5 to 7, say while they can’t hope to replicate the Bavarian capital’s massive seasonal celebration of beer and good times that attracts almost seven million revellers from around the world, their event does attempt to capture the spirit and flavours of smaller, more intimate festivals that begin in late summer in Munich’s outskirts leading up to the big blowout.

The German word for it is

gemĂźtlichkeit (pronounced gemootlik-kite).

And Fred and Erika Ledlin said no detail is too small to ensure their event, to be held in tents erected on the tennis courts behind Port Moody city hall, has it in spades — and lederhosen.

That includes wooden tables and benches crafted in Austria to encourage everyone to get cozy with their neighbours, pallets of decorations like flags, banners and coasters shipped over from Munich, and 120 kegs of Hacker-Pschorr and Paulaner beer. “It’s like they’re in Munich,� said Fred Ledlin, who attended several Oktoberfest celebrations when he played professional hockey in Germany from 1987 to 2001. “We’re just 6,800,000 guests short.�

Ledlin said this year’s event will be adult-oriented, with the tent that used to have space for

kids games and activities now given over to more room for beer-fuelled revelry. A couple of authentic German oompah bands, as well as a DJ, will provide the party’s soundtrack from 5 to 10 p.m. each evening.

Also on the agenda is a kind of zany take on the traditional Miss Oktoberfest contest in which entrants will be judged on events like the chicken dance, beer stein holding and hands-free sausage eating.

Ledlin said while it all may sound a little debauched, Oktoberfest is really about bringing people together. “It’s a real sense of fun and community,â€? he said. “It’s a nice vibe.â€? • For more information about Port Moody’s Oktoberfest celebration, including a link to purchases tickets online, go to www.oktoberfestbc.ca. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

PoMo giving rental zones consideration eleCTroNiC AveNue projeCT geTs oK

A vacant lot at 50 Electronic Ave. in Port Moody will soon be occupied by construction equipment after city council approved a development permit Tuesday.

The planned development by The Panatch Group on the south side of Murray Street will feature two six-storey buildings with 358 residential units and 18,000 sq. ft. of commercial space.

After some initial pushback from council and the community, Panatch proposed some changes to the project in July that gained council’s approval, including designating 30 units rent-to-own.

In addition, Panatch promised to give first opportunity to purchase to Port Moody residents and people who work in the city, and it committed $250,000 toward the city’s reconstruction of the Shoreline Trail and boardwalk. Panatch will also make 2,500 sq. ft. of the project’s commercial space available to the city for community amenities at an annual rent of $1 for 10 years.

The only councillor to not support approving the permit was Zoe Royer, even though she praised the project for having “significant density,” bringing “great revitalization to the community” and being “quite visionary” in many aspects of the project.

Royer said she commutes past the site daily and believes the traffic impact on Murray Street will be too much for an already busy thoroughfare to handle. She also said another recently applicant made a very large voluntary contribution with a significant impact in the community that was a monetary game changer for the city and felt Panatch should step up too.

“For me, I won’t be supporting the project but I sincerely appreciate the efforts of the owners,” said Royer. “I hope that they do think about bigger contributions as this passes.”

Port Moody is considering creating rental zones in the city to take advantage of new provincial legislation giving municipalities the power to do so.

Tuesday, council directed city staff to gather information on how to implement the zones and propose locations that would be appropriate.

Mayor Mike Clay suggested properties such as Metro Vancouver’s Moray Place housing, a nearby rental project by Woodbridge Properties

on St. Johns Street and Woodland Park townhomes in the Seaview neighbourhood as examples of places that could be zoned for rentals only.

“It’s a first step but it’s incumbent on us to look for new properties where rental is not currently planned,” said Coun.

Hunter Madsen.

“I don’t think this is going to be a quick fix,” said Coun.

Diana Dilworth. “This sends a very clear message to our residents and to the development community what we to expect to be built on these properties. Our primary designation

The move came about during discussion of city council approving a housing agree-

ment for a complex being built at 3370 Dewdney Trunk Rd., where a mobile home park was located.

The agreement guarantees the 229-unit development will remain rental in perpetuity and prohibits the developer from making an application to stratify it.

It will have five units of below-market rental housing, with the agreement detailing maximum income levels for the tenants. If the development is demolished, the five affordable units must be replaced. newsroom@tricitynews.com

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

About that video There’s a Maya angelou quotation that has repeatedly been trotted out south of the border since u.S. President donald Trump took office: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

Close to home, that sentence could now be applied to Port Moody Coun. Rob vagramov, who is seeking to unseat Mayor Mike Clay in the oct. 20 civic election.

What vagramov showed in a video that surfaced Tuesday and was shot in 2014 — the year he was elected to council — is troubling at best. In it, he uses a homeless man as a prop in a twisted “random act of kindness.”

There’s so much wrong in that short clip and it’s best summed up by one out of dozens of social media posts on the topic: “He exploited a vulnerable person for sport and then made shotgunning a beer a condition for receiving food.” vagramov hasn’t exactly apologized for the video but said this week he has learned much in the last four years on council.

It’s up to Port Moody voters to decide if they believe him this time, or the first time.

WOMEN’S HEALTH

Don’t be complacent on reproductive health I

exhaled mightily when the federal Conservatives pledged not to reopen the abortion debate. I suspect many Canadian women did. but this relief has no permanency. It’s an uneasy reprieve that has since given way to a bone-chilling concern that I can’t shake. That an abortion debate was even being considered should infuriate the 77% of Canadians who believe in a woman’s right to choose. Today, I find GENESA M. myself wondering when the next threat GREENING to women will come and when we’ll have to defend things like our reproductive rights, access to contraception and the need for modern sex-ed curriculum — again.

It’s also related to why I believe in investing in free universal access to contraception, and supporting women and girls in receiving the medical services we deserve — to ensure agency of self is always at the forefront. Equality is predicated on a platform of choice, and when it starts to be taken away, equality is impossible.

When a girl is denied the education she requires to make conscious choices about her reproductive health, which can lead to

DelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies, it can stifle her ability to fully achieve all that she set out to accomplish in this lifetime. If we genuinely believe that women are equal, this also means she gets the ability to choose when to become a mother.

To understand how women are at risk, simply look to the flamethrower that has been taken to american health policy in limiting access to birth control, abortion and bolstering abstinence-only sex education. In the year leading up to our federal election, I would caution Canadians not to be dismissive of the lunacy of u.S. health policy as something that couldn’t take root here.

Just look east. ontario seems to have found the american playbook and the same myopic and dangerous public health policies were dangled as rewards to the base that stepped up to propel its premier to victory. be it allowing backbenchers to table legislation on restricting abortions or scrapping the province’s 2015 sex-ed curriculum, including education on informed consent, the potential for regression is alive and real here in Canada.

Women and girls need to have access to all of the information required to make mindful decisions about their health and their futures. We must ensure there are no taboos when talking about sexual health, contraception and reproductive choice and rights.

We must foster a society where related questions can be asked,

where science-based answers are received and which leads into a health system that responds to these choices accordingly — free from stigma and the imposed morality of others.

This all swirls around a day that I’ve been reflecting on this week: World Contraception day (Sept. 26). at a time when the World Health organization is seeking to draw awareness of all contraceptive methods that enable people to make informed choices on their sexual and reproductive health — essentially where all of these conversations, disagreements and challenges stem from — I feel like we’re still looking over our shoulders, wondering where the next threat is going to come from.

To think we are debating the benefits of age-appropriate sex education, the life-changing impacts of universally available free contraception and legal access to safe abortion shows we still have a long way to go. until these become non-negotiables, our commitment to women’s equality is but lip service.

The degradation of reproductive rights happens slowly, in the open, and they can most assuredly be taken from us. We have a federal election coming up in just over a year.

To my sisters and our allies, be vigilant.

CHILD CARE

CIVIC ELECTIONS

Simply adding more daycare If they want to spaces is not the only answer run for another The Editor, Re. “SD43 and cities teaming up to fight daycare crunch” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 21).

I am pleased that School District 43 and the cities want to help with this problem.

But I run a family daycare in Port Coquitlam and currently have two spaces open, and so do many other people, both family and group centres.

I grant you that some areas are better served than others but there are a lot of very good licensed people available with room to care for children.

Most of the people I have run into need care outside of regular hours/days, or have rotating shifts, which makes their cases difficult — parents with special needs children especially.

The provincial government has made some attempts to help out financially but this help only works for kids up to three years old. I think more needs to be done with the resources we already have than opening up more spaces.

Just look on the Fraser Health

office, civic pols must first resign The Editor, Any person who is running for mayor or council in Coquitlam in the Oct. 20 municipal election should be required to sign a pledge that he or she will resign their seat if they decide to run for office provincially or federally while on council.

While most voters will likely assume that a mayor or councillor has to resign his or her seat if they intend to run for office at a higher level of government, that is not the case. So, they can win the mayor’s seat or a councillor’s position, run for higher office and, if they lose, come back and assume their municipal position.

What an absolute joke.

As a voter, I want can-

A daycare provider says there are chid care spaces open but different needs require different solutions.

Childcare Map, DaycareBear, GoDaycare, even Craigslist, and it becomes obvious there are lots of spaces open. I believe the schools have enough on their plates these days already; the only daycare at schools should

be for school-age kids.

Some people I know are dangerously close to losing their family daycares because they don’t have enough children enrolled to cover their rent. This will be a big problem if these

places close and those families lose what they already have.

Help find a way to help those of us who are already doing this job, help the families that need the care for their little ones.

didates to be committed 100% to the office for which they are running.

In the absence of any new legislation from Victoria or Ottawa, I would urge every voter in the upcoming municipal election to demand a guarantee from each candidate that, at the very least, they will resign their municipal position if they decide to run for another office.

PORT COQUITLAM

Funland shut due to safety concerns City’s move latest over Art Knapp safety issues Janis Cleugh

The Tri-CiTy News

A fall play centre at a Port Coquitlam business that fundraises for charity is now shut down for public safety reasons.

Tuesday, the city issued an order under the Fire Services Act to close Funland at Art Knapp Plantland, which has been under investigation for several years for alleged health and safety problems.

Pardeep Purewal, PoCo’s communications manager, told The Tri-City News Thursday the order came after city staff advised Art Knapp of “fire code violations and life safety concerns” before Funland opened Sept. 12. They relate primarily to emergency exits, occupant loads, flammables and other fire hazards in the Funland area, she said.

Art Knapp owner Wim Vander Zalm said in an email to The Tri-City News Funland has run for a decade and collected about $50,000 for the

Junior Diabetes Research Foundation.

“It’s something that the entire Art Knapp team is extremely proud of,” he wrote Thursday, adding, “Making people happy is our main priority so we are working extremely hard to work with the Port Coquitlam fire department so that we can reopen as quickly as possible. Please don’t give up on us.”

The Funland closure isn’t the only issue the company faces.

In April 2017, city council held a Section 57 hearing — effectively placing a notice on title to remove city liability — against Art Knapp after it had done work to its Dominion Avenue buildings without permits. During that hearing, PoCo building manager Shawn Hagan showed photos of renovations and alterations to the structures, and highlighted more than two dozen deficiencies the city claims puts life at risk.

Hagan said city staff, the fire department and BC Safety Authority had been in contact with Vander Zalm since late 2013 with requests to bring the buildings up to code but were unsuccessful.

At that time, Vander Zalm told city council the issue was “convoluted and complex” as his main building went up as an agricultural structure in the 1980s and, back then, permits weren’t required under the National Farm Code.

Vander Zalm also warned council that should a Section 57 notice be filed on title, “it could result in the closure of my store” as it would affect future borrowing from financial institutions and, possibly, prevent him from obtaining insurance.

After the hearing concluded, city council deferred its action for a year.

Thursday, Purewal stated: “As the issues remain unresolved, we were scheduled to reconvene the Section 57 hearing this fall but have been unable to find a date that works for all parties.”

Another hearing is scheduled for November, she said.

Purewal added: “The city remains committed to continue to work with the owner to address both our imminent concerns with Funland and our additional concerns with the retail building.”

MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION

PoMo sets out timeline for pot shop consultation Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

A timeline has been determined for the of Port Moody’s consultation on the possible introduction of marijuana retailers.

Recreational pot is to become legal in Canada Oct. 17 so the city wants to talk to residents and business owners about whether stores should be permitted and, if so, where they should go and under what guidelines and regulations.

In addition, the city will seek feedback on potential regulations for personal cannabis cultivation.

A report to council Tuesday said in addition to putting out a feedback survey, the city plans to hold a stakeholder

meeting with potential store owners and operators in early November, with a public open house later that month.

The consultations would cost about $1,700, with the results presented to council in January. The report also

suggested a couple of areas in Moody Centre as appropriate for cannabis retail outlets because they are the only ones outside of a 150-metre buffer zone for schools and daycares.

Coun. Zoe Royer said while she supports legalization she’s

not sure she wants any stores selling pot in Port Moody.

Coun. Barbara Junker noted there aren’t likely to be many areas within the city that are outside the suggested buffer zones. newsroom@tricitynews.com

PADS pooches help kids relax & learn at Tri-City schools Two such dogs are to ‘graduate’ this Sunday DiAne STrAnDberg The Tri-CiTy News

There’s more tail wagging going on in School District 43 than ever before with the introduction of two new therapy dogs in Tri-City middle schools.

Lennon, named after the famed Beatle, and Iris will be graduating from the annual Pacific Assistance Dogs training program this weekend and, along with their handlers, will be helping to calm children and create a positive atmosphere at their schools.

PADS dogs have been a fixture at SD43 since 2011, when a duo was introduced to the board of education and the benefits of therapy dogs were explained.

Since then, dogs wearing the distinctive blue and yellow vests have been making friends with students at Centennial and Riverside secondary schools, Suwa’lkh, and Miller Park elementary school, to name a few.

Currently, another PADS grad, Liege is with Anthony Ciolfitto, principal at Centennial, and two more

At Kwayhquitlum, principal Laurie Ebenal works with Lennon, who spends mornings visiting each classroom and participating in talking circles.

Lennon also assists Ebenal with supervision at lunch and recess.

The students like to sit with Lennon in Ebenal’s office and

they also spend time with the pooch in the learning commons.

Lisa Rinke, principal at Scott Creek middle, says her PADS dog Iris is always ready for a couch cuddle when conversations in the office get difficult, and the dog has the ability to lower stress in a room of students taking a test.

“Iris can make a bad day so much better. In fact, most days, she is simply magical,” Rinke said.

Research has found that children’s heart rates slow and blood pressure drops in the presence of a calm, friendly dog, an important consideration because many children suffer from anxiety. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

AMANDA TODD

Auction in Amanda’s name kicks off Oct. 1 DiAne StrAnDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Carol Todd is hoping to spread positivity 365 days a year, and with a small group of friends and supporters plus the Amanda Todd Legacy Society, the Port Coquitlam mom may just achieve her goal.

Each day for the past year, a graphic message promoting #positivity2018 is being created and posted on Instagram and, beginning Oct. 1, the second annual Amanda’s Legacy 2018 Online Auction will be held to raise funds for programs supporting youth.

“I can’t sit there and not have anything going on,” said Todd, whose daughter committed suicide Oct. 10, 2012, after posting a video online about being bullied. “I need to know that there’s something that is positive that is changing the landscape and the profile out there.”

Oct. 10 is now recognized as World Mental Health Day. The online auction running Oct. 1 to 15 in memory of Amanda will raise funds for programs that support youth and their families.

“Her story is still being shared and the issues she raised [with her video] are still relevant today,” said Todd, who noted concerns about cyberbullying

GET OUT and

Carol Todd with her late daughter, Amanda. and stress and anxiety among youth are a growing concern.

“The goal is to raise some funds to maintain the legacy.”

Last year, the auction raised $5,000 and the goal is to raise a similar amount or more for projects such as a music therapy scholarship at Douglas College; a program called Get Out, Unplug to Connect that connects kids 11 to 18 with nature; and the Enchantment Project, which provides financial support to School District 43 students celebrating grad.

As well, a grief retreat that would support parents who

have lost children to tragic circumstances, such as suicide, is on the wish-list for startup funds.

This year, proceeds from some of the auction items will also help raise funds for the Melaina Paisley Arts Scholarship in memory of a Langley teen who committed suicide in April and whose mom Todd connected with.

“When you bid on those items, those funds will go to Melaina’s scholarship,” Todd said.

General Election Day: Saturday, Oct. 20, 2018

Location will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

170 items up for auction to help the foundation continued from page 20

As of Thursday, more than 170 items were available on the online donation web page, from restaurant gift certificates to experiences, artwork and even an iPad donated by Telus.

Todd said she hopes people will spend time exploring the donations, many from local businesses, before bidding starts.

The list of items being added is growing daily and you can find out more at www.aman-

datoddlegacy.org under the Amanda’s Legacy 2018 Online Auction Tab. In addition to obtaining donations for the online auction, Todd is learning how to be a crisis volunteer to support youth who seek help via text.

The course is a challenging one but also helpful in that Todd is learning about the kind of questions people in crisis will ask and how to support them.

“There are so many people in this cohort [doing the train-

ing], If we had more people, it would have helped Amanda,” said Todd.

She is also promoting a petition to have Canada declare Oct. 10 World Mental Health Day, and Light Up Purple, when people are encouraged

to wear or “light up purple” in support of mental health.

FOOD

Sprouts and grapes and, yes, even melons MARKET FRESH

HEALTHY, COLOURFUL HARVEST SALAD I’ll leave you with a great transitional salad recipe that makes the most of the last of the summer and the first of the fall produce.

HARVEST SALAD

karen curtis

I

read somewhere the other day that Canada doesn’t have four seasons, we have 11. I won’t list them all but currently we are in the “False Fall.”

That is the period right after summer but before “second summer.” You know, that time of year when it’s freezing in the morning but by noon you are wishing you were in shorts and a T-shirt.

It’s also the time of year when we are getting back into the routine of work and school, and things become a bit more scheduled and time a bit more precious.

Make sure you spend some of that precious time at a market. The abundance is crazy right now as there is literally nothing you can’t get. The summer crops are still coming in with second plantings of lettuces and everbearing strawberries arriving, the apples are in full swing and the winter vegetables are starting to make an appearance too.

ISTOCK PHOTO

Brussels sprouts are just one of the seasonal treats available at local farmers markets at this time of year.

Personally, I think this is the very best time to shop at market.

Hopefully by now you have stocked up on all the goodness you need, maybe even done some preserving too. Fear not, though, there is still time.

Something as simple as putting your bounty into freezer bags will yield you summer freshness in the coming months.

Tomatoes work especially well for this. Just wash them, bag them and throw them in the freezer. Kale is good for that, too.

One thing you don’t want to preserve are melons. They are so good right now and best eaten as often as possible. Red Barn brings them to Coquitlam

from its farm in Cawston. The long, dry and hot summer weather in Cawston is perfect for growing melons. Aside from eating them out of hand, try them in a salad with cucumbers and feta, tossed with a lemon vinaigrette (Red Barn also brings its flavourful vinegars to market) or wrapped in a slice of prosciutto. Super easy!

Crisp Organics are successfully growing melons in the Fraser Valley. They are bringing cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon and winter melon to the Coquitlam Farmers Market.

Winter melons are something new, at least for me. They are bright yellow and look like a giant lemon — it’s no wonder they caught my eye. As for the

SALAD 1 bunch kale, washed and thinly sliced 5 brussel sprouts, thinly sliced ¼ head red cabbage, shredded 1 grated carrot Combine above ingredients and toss with desired amount of dressing. Garnish salad with diced and cooked bacon, grated havarti, a few grapes and croutons.

DRESSing 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 tbsp white wine vinegar ¼ c extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp summer savoury or thyme 1/8 tsp salt (to taste) 1/8 tsp black pepper (to taste) 1 1/8 tsp sugar (to taste) 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard In a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients together until emulsified. Taste for salt/pepper, add more if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before using. taste, it was definitely unique.

I’m not a big melon fan so I was surprised and pleased at the taste. Very light and really juicy, the melon flavour is not overly strong. I’m a convert.

Baker Breeze Farms has some outstanding melons, too,

and you can find them at the last couple of Port Coquitlam markets on Thursdays.

Don’t forget the grapes, either. They are another eat-now treat. I once had a pal make an ice cream sauce with peeled grapes soaked in Cointreau —

way too much effort but they sure were delicious. Hilltop Farms has these, along with some really cool white eggplant.

Eggplant makes a great meat substitute in all kinds of dishes and their mild flavour takes on a multitude of spices, making them very versatile.

Brussels sprouts have started to appear at market, too.

Mandair Farms will have them at both PoCo and Coquitlam over the coming weeks.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and these are a great addition to your market Thanksgiving meal. I like them sliced very thinly on a mandolin and sautéed in bacon fat with a bit of onion and garlic, and some fresh thyme.

Visit the market Sept. 30 to celebrate the annual Harvest Festival and enjoy a meal for purchase prepared by the students of the culinary program at Centennial secondary school.

Activities will also include kids’ crafts and games.

Check out the POP club while you are there, too. This children’s program runs every Sunday and is free to join. Kids learn about all the wonderful fruits and veg available at market, and get a $3 token to spend.

So much to look forward to.

Annual Scary Story contest is back in time for Halloween Spin a terrifying tale for library writing contest

Halloween is just over a month away and Tri-City youths aged 11 to 18 can join the annual Scary Story Contest for a chance to win prizes and see their names in print.

The contest, as in past years, is put on

by Coquitlam and Port Moody public libraries, and is sponsored by The Tri-City News.

To participate in the contest, local kids must write a terrifying tale and submit it; then, a panel of judges will award first-, second- and third-place prizes to the three best entries in each of two age categories: 11 to 14 and 15 to 18 years.

Rules for the contest are as follows: • Each entry must be no longer than 500 words.

• Writers must live or go to school in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore or Belcarra.

• Writers who submit entries must be no younger than 11 and no older than 18 on the entry deadline date of Oct. 21.

• Writers must include the following three words in their stories: gruesome, ululating and ichor. Stories that do not include all three words will be disqualified.

• Each writer must include his or her name, age, phone number and city of residence when they submit an entry. If your city of residence is outside the TriCities, make sure to include the name of the Tri-Cities school that you attend.

• Writers must email their entries — as a Word attachment, a PDF or in the body of the message — to scarystorycontest2018@gmail.com no later than Sunday, Oct. 21.

Winners in each age category will receive prizes worth $50 (first), $30 (second) and $20 (third). Some entries will also be published in The Tri-City News around Halloween. Full contest details are on the Coquitlam Public Library and Port Moody Public Library web sites.

If you have questions about the Scary Story Contest, email librarian Chris Miller at cmiller@coqlibrary.ca or call 604-554-7339. newsroom@tricitynews.com

BIKE BANTER ON THE HILLS

PoMo teen climbs mountain biking success MARIO BARTEL THE TRI-CITY NEWS

What goes up, must come down.

But that basic law of gravity was the furtherest thing from Milton McConville’s mind when he recently achieved it better than anyone else in his age category at the Canadian Open Challenger Enduro race that was part of the annual Crankorx mountain biking festival in Whistler.

Enduro is a discipline that requires riders to pedal their 35-pound dual-suspension bikes up the mountain before bombing back down again in a timed descent, then repeating it as many as four or five times.

McConville’s top run at Whistler concluded a successful season in which he also won races at Blue Mountain, Ont., and Camp Fortune, Que. Those results qualify the 15-year-old Port Moody resident, who is in Grade 11 at Heritage Woods secondary school, to compete against older, more seasoned riders from around the world next year in the World Enduro Series.

It’s been a long ascent since McConville’s dad, James, first taught him to ride in the family’s driveway when he was four-years-old. Which is just the way he likes it.

McConville, who also com-

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It’s a long way up since 15-year-old Milton McConville learned to ride a bike in the driveway of his family’s Port Moody home.

petes in downhill races, said he prefers the combination of fitness, technique and derringdo that is required to ride enduro where an event can last up to six hours. Chugging 1,000 metres or more up mountain trails or logging roads multiple times with other competitors is a great way to make friends, compare notes about bikes, talk about the day. But when they reach the top, the gloves are on, and their helmet straps cinched. It’s every rider for

himself as each competitor tries to get back downhill as quickly as possible, often along steep, technical trails that twist through the trees or bound over rocks and roots. In an enduro race, only the downhill sections are timed.

“It’s the most fun,” McConville said of his enduro races. “You’re hanging out with your friends, chatting when you ride up. It kinda seems like that’s what mountain biking is all about.”

But the banter subsides when it’s time to point the front tire back down the mountain.

That’s when McConville said he has to check his breathing, calm his excitement and narrow his focus because attacking the mountain with too much gusto can lead to mistakes. His two cracked helmets, a broken thumb and a concussion are testament to lessons learned the hard way.

McConville said the key to getting down the mountain

faster than his competitors is making smooth turns.

“The race is won in the corners,” he said. “There’s so much technique involved to make the corners as round as possible.”

With his eyes fixed ahead to a corner’s exit, his heels down and his weight shifted to the outside, McConville finds himself in the zone, where the bumps don’t seem as jarring and the trail just flows beneath his Norco bike like a downward conveyor belt.

“It’s an awesome feeling,” McConville said. “When that happens you know you’re going fast.”

McConville, who earned his mountain biking chops on local trails at Bert Flinn Park, as

well as Eagle and Burke mountains, said a chance to attend a training camp in Squamish last spring that also included several national-level riders showed him what it takes to be a top mountain biker, including their dedication to training and diet off the bike.

And racing at Crankworx, the biggest mountain biking festival in North America, gave him a taste of some of the payoff for that dedication, like seeing his name in lights on the big video scoreboard and hearing his name announced to the crowd at the base of the mountain.

“It’s pretty crazy,” McConville said. “It’s just a huge event. It pumps you up.” mbartel@tricitynews.com

NATIONAL LACROSSE LEAGUE

Seven junior Adanacs selected in NLL entry draft Defender Elia Salama was the first of seven former Coquitlam Adanacs selected in the 2018 National Lacrosse League entry draft held Tuesday in Philadelphia.

The six-foot-two, 205-pound Coquitlam kid was drafted in the first round, 12th overall, by the Calgary Roughnecks.

Salama played for the A’s when they won the 2016 Minto Cup scoring a goal and adding three assists in 14 playoff games. He had a goal and two assists in

nine regular season games in 2017 and five goals and two assists in the playoffs. This year he graduated to senior lacrosse playing 15 games and scoring three goals and four assists for the Langley Thunder.

Transition player Graydon Bradley was taken in the second round, 17th overall by the San Diego Seals. The native of Vernon played for the Port Coquitlam Saints for three seasons before being traded late in the 2018 campaign to

Coquitlam. He scored 19 goals and 27 points with PoCo and had two goals and four assists in the playoffs for Coquitlam as the Adanacs claimed another Minto Cup last month.

In the third round, the Colorado Mammoth selected another Coquitlam kid, highscoring forward Dennon Armstrong, who had 94 goals and 203 points in 53 games for the Adanacs the past four sea-

sons. He also notched 45 goals and 114 points in 47 playoff games.

Two picks later, the newly branded Vancouver Warriors took forward Jean-Luc Chetner, who played 49 games for the junior A’s from 2012 to 2016 scoring 80 goals and 195 points. Chetner played this summer for the Western Lacrosse Association champion Maple Ridge Burrards netting 10 goals and 28 points

in 12 regular-season games and another 11 goals and 10 assists in 11 playoff games.

Calgary dipped into the Adanacs pool again in the fifth round taking Chilliwack native Tyson Kirkness, who joined the Jr. A’s from Langley in a lateseason trade. The defender scored a goal and two assists in three regular-season games for the Adanacs and had three assists in17 games during the team’s Minto Cup run.

With the next pick, the New

England Black Wolves, took Dereck Downs, who scored two goals and five assists when he played three regular-season games for the A’s in 2016 and added another 17 goals and 36 points in 14 playoff games.

In the sixth and final round, the Roughnecks took forward Chase McIntyre with the 69th pick. He played 52 games for the Coquitlam juniors from 2013 to 2015 scoring 66 goals and 186 points. sports@tricitynews.com

Winning, honour motivate Coq. wrestler Her mat exploits part of Indigenous exhibit at Hall

By Dan OlsOn burnaby now

In the flash of a firm hold and a double-leg lock, Justina DiStasio has put her share of rivals to the mat.

As a member of Team Canada, the Coquitlam-raised wrestler who went to Port Moody secondary has done it at home and abroad.

Her aim is to continue that journey and stand in Tokyo at the 2020 Olympics wearing red and white.

This week it’s a different spotlight she’ll be sharing, when the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame unveils its Indigenous Sport Gallery that includes DiStasio’s photo alongside so many other athletes from Canada’s First Nations.

“It’s so cool. I’m Aboriginal but I never really like talked about it because I grew up in the city and no one ever asked me before,” said the 25-yearold DiStasio. “They wanted me to be a part [of the gallery], and I just felt so honoured. It’s very cool and my whole family is so excited.”

Being able to reflect on who she is, her heritage and be in-

Justina DiStasio, shown above celebrating after a win at the Pan Am Games, is included in the display at the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, celebrating Aboriginal athletes and their accomplishments. cluded in a group of great athletes is adding another chapter to her considerable story.

Growing up in Coquitlam, DiStasio didn’t give wrestling a try until Grade 8, and, even then, it was a difficult landing.

Over time, the teen found a symmetry with the sport as well as success, winning provincial titles for Port Moody secondary.

Training with the Burnaby Mountain Wrestling Club

and Simon Fraser University women’s program, DiStasio garnered more experience and wins en route to a host of titles.

Along the way, there were some tough losses, like in the 2016 Canadian Olympic team trial. Absorbing that defeat at the hands of world and future Olympic champion Erica Wiebe was a tough pill to swallow. But DiStasio saw it for the medicine it was — and motivation.

Express stretch win streak to four by blanking Eagles The Coquitlam Express extended their BC Hockey League win streak to four games with an 8-0 blanking of the Surrey Eagles at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex Wednesday.

The victory improved Coquitlam’s record to 5-3-0-0 and put the Express in a tie for first place with Prince George and Chilliwack, all with 10 points.

But both the Spruce Kings (5-1-0-0) and Chiefs (4-3-0-0) have games in hand on the Express.

Coquitlam held period leads of 3-0 and 6-0. Kolby Matthews stopped 36 Surrey shots to get the shutout. More than half his saves came in the first period when the Eagles outshot the Express 19-15. Overall Coquitlam had a 49-36 shot advantage.

Dallas Farrell and Christian Sanda had two goals apiece with Farrell also collecting an assist. Cole Edgerton, Chase Danol, Joshua Wildauer and Alex DiPaolo scored the other Express goals. Jordan Schulting added three assists.

The Express will play host to the Langley Rivermen (4-2-00) tonight (Friday, 7 p.m.) with the Spruce Kings paying a visit to Poirier on Sunday (3 p.m.). sports@tricitynews.com

“I was devastated losing the trials. The day [Wiebe] won the Olympic medal I was on crutches, in my living room watching her because I rolled my ankle at practice that week.

I was like ‘Wow, I can either sit here and be super bummed that now I have to beat an Olympic champ, or I could be proud that a Canadian won, and I was. … It inspires me to do great things.

“I also had to look at it more

Being part of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame’s newest display — which officially opened Wednesday and includes artifacts, memorabilia, stories and images celebrating the rich history of sport by First Nations and Metis athletes — is truly special.

“The gallery is huge, and taught me about the amount of Aboriginal athletes in B.C.,” said DiStasio. “I didn’t even know there were so many people around.”

Just as when she was invited to talk and demonstrate some pointers at Norgate Community School in North Van for the Xwemelch’stn community, DiStasio loves how wrestling has opened up new opportunities and responsibilities for her. Recognized as a strong role model, DiStasio aims to build on both that and her wrestling portfolio along the way to her goal of becoming a teacher.

“I have my goals and one is to be a better person off the mat than I can ever be as a wrestler,” she said. “This is just more exposure to more people who can hold me accountable to being someone who contributes a positive thing.”

• The Indigenous Sport Gallery Exhibit, presented by Canfor, is at B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, Gate A at B.C. Place, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

as a positive challenge; that to get out of the country I had to be so good that I have to beat an Olympic champ, and, if I can do that, I believe I belong at this level.”

DiStasio admits the confidence side is where she’s made the most strides. Now, preparing to compete in the 72-kilogram division, after years in the women’s (Olympic) 76kg, she takes it as an opportunity to face new rivals and add to her list of moves.

“You do wrestle a lot of the same people and that’s always a challenge. My first year on the national team in 2015, no one knew how I’d wrestle, so I could catch them with my best move. Now everyone knows my best move so you have to find different ways to get to it, and learn other moves and make them just as effective,” she said.

It is her determination and resilience that is part of a grand display at the Indigenous Sport Gallery in the Hall of Fame.

Her mom’s roots harken to Manitoba’s Norway House Cree Nation, a long journey at the northern end of Lake Winnipeg. Summer trips back there are distant memories now, as someone who is a committed member of the national team as well as an assistant coach with SFU’s women’s wrestling program.

Ivan graduated from John Oliver High School in Vancouver in 1952, and entered Teacher’s college beginning a long and rewarding teaching career in 1956. He loved teaching and coaching, beginning in the Surrey and Maple Ridge School Districts then spending the balance of his career in the Burnaby School District, primarily at Kensington and Cariboo Hill Secondary Schools.

Ivan married the love of his life Joanne, in 1954 with whom he worked extremely hard to build a solid and contented life. His children Brent and Nancy arrived in the early 1960’s completing the family he’d always dreamed of having.

Ivan’s love of sports and physical activity was lifelong! He excelled in basketball in high school and baseball during his twenties, particularly with Collingwood Legion. Ivan thoroughly enjoyed coaching both of his kids in any sport they played, and gave unselfishly of his time coaching both school and community sports teams.

Even after his official coaching days had ended, Ivan always attended his children’s and grandchildren’s sports events and activities, where he was often asked, and always willing to help out.

In his retirement Ivan continued to be extremely active in volleyball, and pickleball as well as organizing and playing slo-pitch. Ivan left an indelible mark on all who played with or against him, earning respect as a humble, caring, skillful and dedicated leader and participant. Ivan was also an avid gardener enjoying time in his beautiful yard. He loved and appreciated nature and the warmth of the sun, anywhere and anytime.

A celebration of Ivan’s life is planned for Saturday, October 27, 2018 from 1:30pm - 4:30pm in the Centennial Room at the Dogwood Pavilion, 1655 Winslow Ave, Coquitlam, BC. Please feel free to wear your favourite sports team jersey in honour of Ivan’s lifelong love of sport.

Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the BC Renal Agency via Canadian Kidney Foundation (BC and Yukon Branch).

AUTOMOTIVE PARLEE, Ronald William Ronald William Parlee, 71 years old of Maple Ridge, BC, passed away on September 21, 2018 in Abbotsford. Born May 28, 1947 in Vancouver, to Lawrence and Rosemary (Morris), Ron excelled in athletics at Burnaby Central Secondary School alongside his twin brother, Thomas. Ron went on to be a carpenter/lather and was a member of the carpenters’ union (now CMAW 1995) for over 35 years, working on projects all over the Lower Mainland. He had a love of sports and was an avid fan of the BC Lions and Vancouver Canucks, a minor football coach and a medalist in the Canada 55+ Games. He played the tuba in the Maple Ridge Concert Band and had a lifelong love of music. For over a decade, Ron was a devoted foster parent, providing unconditional love and support to the children in his care, including his long-term and special needs foster son, James Norris, who predeceased him.

Ron was stricken with the effects of early onset dementia in his early 60s and was supported in his final years by a circle of loving family members, particularly his first wife Leah McDermott, and was provided exceptional care by the staff at Maplewood House in Abbotsford. He will be deeply missed.

He is survived by his five children, Jason and Jenise (Chris) Paton from his first marriage, Forrest (Laura Hodgins), Myles and Cassandra (David Leibensperger) from his second marriage, his four grandchildren, Samara/Allendra, Reid, James and Rose, and siblings Sharon (Ted) Coven, Gary (Barbara Yeoell) and his twin brother, Thomas (Spence Hill).

A memorial will be held on Wednesday, October 3rd at Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel, 11969 216th Street at 11am.
