CRIME

Suspect sought in scam using cheques Suspect ID’d after teen was bilked Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Melvin Chan, the assistant manager at the Coquitlam branch of BC SPCA, snuggles with Paula, one of two guinea pigs — along with numerous cats, kittens and even a pair of degus — the local centre will have up for adoption as part of a special province-wide adoption day tomorrow (Saturday). Regular adoption fees for domestic animals will be cut in half. “Our top priority is to ensure that every animal finds their perfect people,” said Mark Takhar, BC SPCA’s chief operations officer. The Tri-Cities SPCA branch is located at 1-2565 Barnet Hwy. in Coquitlam, next to the Bosley’s store. It will be open from noon to 5:30 p.m. tomorrow.

An arrest warrant has been issued for a Tri-City man who allegedly bilked a Coquitlam teen out of $400 in a cheque scam this summer.

Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said the man is well known to police and was identified through photos captured from security video.

“They sent his photo around to the rest of our police officers here and other police officers recognized the suspect, and we looked into the suspect’s background and discovered this sort of thing is very common with him.” McLaughlin said. see careful, page 8

TRI-CITY SCHOOLS

Provincial honours for innovative teachers in School District 43 Three finalists, two winners for premier’s awards

sTUDeNT NUMBers Are hiGher ThAN eXPeCTeD

Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Two Port Coquitlam teachers were given premier’s awards for excellence in education last Friday for encouraging their students to broaden their horizons and make a difference in the world.

Sean Robinson, a Science 9 teacher at Riverside secondary, won in the area of technology and innovation for connecting students with peers from other countries to work on projects, including a solar-powered light for homes in the Dominican Republic that don’t have regular electricity.

Ryan Cho, a social justice and music teacher at Terry Fox secondary, whose students made a video promoting consent culture and held a protest in support of the #metoo antisexual harassment campaign, won for social inclusion.

The two were honoured along with a third teacher, Hasheem Hakeem, a French teacher at Dr. Charles Best secondary in Coquitlam who was a finalist in the diversity and inclusion category. They all rubbed shoulders with Premier John Horgan and Education

Two PoCo high school teachers, Sean Robinson of Riverside secondary and Ryan Cho of Terry Fox, took home premier’s excellence awards in the areas of technology and innovation and social equity.

Minister Rob Fleming at a dinner in Victoria.

“What was really nice, we were all in Victoria, with teachers from big towns and small towns, and hearing their stories. And it’s really nice to see a provincial government to show support for teachers in this way,” Cho told The Tri-City News.

Robinson said he, too, en-

joyed the event and was glad he could invite a guest — the student and parent who nominated him for the award.

“It provided an opportunity for teachers to make those connections with other teachers. What a great event to have all these teachers, movers and shakers from around the province all together,” said Robinson.

Development along the Evergreen Extension is resulting in more students enrolling in School District 43 but not enough to make a huge jump in school district numbers.

Still, the district saw an increase of 47.75 full-timeequivalent (FTE) students for a total student enrolment of 30,434.69 this fall, and the extra students are expected to provide a boost to operating grants.

“Enrolment jumps are taking place mainly in the middle school level, in areas like Coquitlam Town Centre, where densification is occurring along SkyTrain and other major commuter lines,” SD43 spokesman Peter Chevrier said in an email to The Tri-City News.

The jump suggests Coquitlam is still drawing families even though many of the new homes in the City Centre area are apartments.

SD43 had anticipated a slight drop in the number of students in the district when it did its projections in February based on kindergarten registrations and the number of students graduating. But when head counts were done in September, SD43 had 191.69 FTE students more than projected.

“Increased enrolment will result in increased per-student base funding, which always benefits students, classrooms and schools,” Chevrier said.

The district also counted 69 more special education students than projected in February and 31 more aboriginal education students. There were also 285 more FTE English language learners than projected in February.

Robinson and Cho, who were also recognized at a board of education meeting Tuesday, said they were honoured to be chosen among many great teachers.

Board chair Kerri Palmer Isaak, who also attended the dinner, said she is pleased local teachers were nominated.

“It’s so important we are recognizing the outstanding con-

tributors,” Palmer Isaak said.

Winners from each of the categories will receive a $3,000 personal bursary for professional learning and a $2,000 contribution to their school community for professional learning.

And Cho and Robinson’s work is far from over.

Cho said he will continue to promote consent culture among youth, whereby someone asks for permission before getting physical, whether it be a hug, kiss or more, to reduce misunderstandings and potential instances of sexual assault.

He asked trustees at the board meeting to consider such a policy for schools.

“To me, that’s the next step.

How could we be a model for other schools and districts,” Cho said.

Robinson, meanwhile, has written a book to help teachers use connections-based learning and his science students are connecting with peers in Kampala, Uganda to find ways to address lighting in electricity-poor areas of their country.

“My students are brainstorming many ideas of ways to help. One group is considering developing a bike generator, another is looking at solar technology. We’ll just see what they come up with.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

CRIME

RE -E

Firearm incident brings big police presence to PoCo Report said man was likely carrying a gun Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

An “incident involving a firearm” Wednesday had RCMP asking Port Coquitlam residents in an area along the Coquitlam River to lock their doors and stay inside for more than an hour.

A caller at about 3:20 p.m. told RCMP of a person in the area of the 2300-block of Kitchener Avenue who had access to firearms and was likely carrying one, said Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Michael McLaughlin.

Coquitlam RCMP then asked the public to stay away

from an area bordered by Woodland Drive in the west to Shaughnessy Street in the east and from the Lougheed Highway to Lincoln Avenue in the north. Residents were advised to lock their doors and stay inside until the incident was over.

“There was never any direct indication there was any intent to harm anybody else but we don’t take any chances [in those cases],” said McLaughlin.

He said police were able to apprehend an adult on a trail in nearby Westwood Park just after 4:30 p.m. The person was not previously known to police “but when you’re dealing with a firearm in the public it’s always something we take very seriously,” said McLaughlin.

McLaughlin said there was some concern in the community when the news broke but

one of the things the RCMP has been told is when residents see a large number of officers in their neighbourhood, it raises alarms and they want to know what’s going on.

“Once we explain to people why we’re doing this [it makes a difference],” said McLaughlin. “With that explanation people reacted very well [Wednesday].”

McLaughlin said the suspect will be treated for mental health issues before a report goes to the Crown for potential approval of charges.

He said the investigation could take some time to determine such things as licensing and the firearm’s functionality.

Investigators will also talk to witnesses and are seeking any possible video or audio of the incident. newsroom@tricitynews.com

CRIME

Careful with cheques the cheque being accepted by the bank machine. He was later confused when he saw that the money was missing and the cheque didn’t clear, according to his sister, who called The TriCity News at the time.

McLaughlin said people should be careful when approached by individuals professing to need cash and offering to exchange a cheque because it may be stolen. He also said people should keep their chequebooks safe because they are one of the first things thieves will steal in a house or car break-in.

In this case, the cheque was stolen from a car. “It’s very important that anybody — whether they are checking mail, car or home

continued from front page

The cheque was also retrieved and, along with witness statements, was enough information to convince the Crown to approve charges of possession of stolen property and fraud under $5,000, McLaughlin said.

The charges stem from an incident Aug. 3 when a man approached a 16-year-old who was waiting for the bus after work and told him a hard luck story about needing cash and offering to exchange a cheque for money via the teen’s ATM. The youth, not knowing that cheques can bounce, be stolen or fraudulent, did as the man asked, withdrawing the cash from his bank after witnessing

theft — to doublecheck whether their cheques have gone missing and, if they have, to let police know because this often leads to other crimes,�

McLaughlin said.

It’s not known whether the teen will be able to retrieve the funds as such cases are difficult to resolve, McLaughlin said, but he said the family is pleased somebody is being held responsible. “Whenever we can get someone to account for their actions it’s better for the community,� McLaughlin said.

Police are now searching for Clayton Brooks Hayden, 21, of no fixed addressed in connection with this incident. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

POCO BUSINESS

FUNLAND REOPENS FOR HALLOWEEN A Port Coquitlam business that had its family play centre shut down by the city last month re-opened over the weekend.

Art Knapp Plantland was forced to temporarily close Funland after the municipality issued an order under the Fire Services Act for “public safety reasons.�

Yesterday (Thursday), Fire Chief Nick Delmonico said

city managers continue to work with the Office of the Fire Commissioner to ensure concerns — primarily related to emergency exits, occupant loads, flammables and other fire hazards — in the Funland area are addressed.

City managers have also voiced concern about the business’ retail buildings; a Section 57 hearing, which would remove the city from liability and

put a notice on title against Art Knapp, is scheduled to take place next month.

Art Knapp owner Wim Vander Zalm, who has maintained his structures are safe, was unavailable for comment before The Tri-City News’ print deadline.

Funland is a fundraiser for the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation; it closes Oct. 31.

PORT MOODY HOUSING

SALMON

PoMo council OKs housing project City contributing $527k towards St. Andrews complex MariO Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

A unique partnership between a Port Moody church, two community organizations and a Vancouver-based nonprofit developer will create affordable rental housing for 55 families, including four units for people with developmental disabilities.

Port Moody taxpayers are pitching in, too.

PoMo council approved the project, to be located at the site of St. Andrews United Church at 2318 St. Johns St., at its meeting Tuesday. The city will also be contributing $527,796 from its affordable housing reserve fund as well as waiving more than $241,000 in community amenity charges. As well, BC Housing is providing $5 million in provincial funding.

That partnership will mean a new 540-sq. m space within the four-storey building for St. Andrews’ 80-member congregation in addition to the housing units, as well as 2,200 sq. m

ONLINE EXTRA PoCo council gives its tentative approval to housing complex for women & kids: tricitynews.com

of office space for Kinsight and Share Family and Community Services.

“We are excited to transform our building to include affordable housing, our new partners and new church space,” St. Andrews pastor, Rev. Julie LeBrun, said, adding the church’s programs and services will be held in other locations while the old 1957 building is demolished and the new structure built.

Kinsight, a charitable organization that provides support for families of people with developmental delays and disabilities, will dedicate some of its space to a new children’s centre as well as provide support for residents living in four of the housing units.

“The vision for the children’s centre is to be an accessible and welcoming hub,” Kinsight CEO Christine Scott said.

Share provides services like a food bank, youth counselling

and support for seniors along with legal advocacy.

The rental units will be comprised of nine studio apartments, 31 one-bedroom apartments, eight two-bedroom apartments and three three-bedroom townhouses.

Kinsight’s supported units include two studio apartments and two two-bedroom units.

Rents will be geared to gross household incomes of $30,000 for someone seeking a studio unit to incomes of $66,480 for the three-bedroom townhouses. They’ll range from $750 for the former to $1,662 for the latter.

The project is being built

by Catalyst Community Development Society, a Vancouver-based non-profit developer that specializes in constructing affordable housing projects in partnerships with community organizations and municipal governments.

PORT MOODY HOUSING

The Tri-CiTy News

More rental housing is coming to Port Moody.

At its meeting Tuesday, city council approved bylaw and zoning amendments to allow construction of a six-storey rental apartment building at 3370 Dewdney Trunk Rd. It will include 229 units, five of which will be made available at belowmarket rents.

The affordable units are meant as compensation for displacing the five occupied mobile homes that are currently at the site. The project’s developer, PC Urban, acquired the 17-pad mobile home park in August 2017.

The company said it will help those residents find new homes and pay their moving costs as well as a cash equivalent to 12 months rent. It estimates the cost of the relocation program to be about $20,000 per tenant.

The building will comprise 86 one-bedroom units, 48 junior two-bedroom units, 90 twobedroom units up to 939 sq. ft. and five three-bedroom units.

SPeak Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page.

To make up for providing fewer parking spots than required, the company will provide a $100 preloaded Compass transit card for each new tenancy in the first seven years after occupancy, or a $200 card if the occupants of a unit don’t require one of the building’s 205 parking spaces. Two Modo car share vehicles will also be available for the use of tenants, who will get a free membership to the service as well as a $100 ride credit per unit.

There will also be parking for 350 bicycles as well as a bike washing station located in the building’s parkade, and the developer will extend the multiuse pathway along Dewdney

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Kids & legal pot

one of the biggest reasons for legalizing marijuana is to get it away from teenagers. but will that happen?

Some argue that making recreational pot legal will normalize its use and make it more accessible for young people. others say there will be more control over it once it’s in the government’s hands.

With legal weed, parents and agencies supporting youth will have to up their game in talking to young people about potential risks to mental health because teens will always want to experiment.

There is a concern, too, that black market pot won’t go away because of high taxes and teens will turn to it instead of waiting until they’re 19 to buy legally. b.C. will apply a 15% markup to pot on its shelves, plus 5% federal GST, 7% provincial sales tax and a new 2.3% regulatory recovery fee from Health Canada.

Will all those taxes ratchet up the price and keep criminal drug gangs in business? That is a concern, and one that needs to be addressed.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? this week’s question:

Do you think legal marijuana will increase pot consumption among teenagers?

last week’s question:

Do you think pet owners spenD too much money on their furry anD feathereD frienDs?

MEDIA

Newspapers outlast cynicism, grunge (and they pay him)

L

ast week was National Newspaper Week and many of us in the industry shared with our readers those special moments and memories that make this business great.

That J-school professor who hammered home the importance of striving to get it first, but ensuring you get it right.

That thrill of seeing your byline written in ink for the very first time. That story that brought someone a laugh, brought someone to tears or brought about ANDY PREST change in the world. for me as I write this, that special moment was about 20 minutes ago, when my latest paycheque cleared. Magical.

I never really dreamed of being in the newspaper business. back in my small Prairie hometown, we used to endlessly poke fun at our community newspaper, a rag that never ceased to amaze me with the sheer volume of front-page stories about cattle auctions. When I was in college, the student newspaper did a mock version of the city paper, running it with the hilarious — and frankly quite accurate — tagline “the newspaper of people shaking hands with other people.”

That, at least, is how we saw things as cynical 1990s teenagers, finding a bit of levity in the local newspaper to offset the sheer deDelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

spair of grunge music and the size of our cellphones. digging a little deeper, though, there always was that thrill of seeing your picture in the newspaper. alongside the 4H schedule, our paper would run little recaps of youth soccer games. Those pictures and stats actually helped shape the way I remember my childhood.

I scored a hat trick in a u7 game on May 3, 1986? What an absolute star, a childhood celebrity!

We all were little celebrities, though — everyone who managed to get a mention in the sports section or sold a good-sized pig at auction or snuck half a blurry leg into a photo of the Canada day parade.

Leaving cynicism behind (as all journalists do!!!), I ended up parlaying my dual loves of writing and sports into a journalism degree and a position at the North Shore News. I then somehow parlayed my dad jokes — and maybe some compromising photographs of my former editor — into this gig writing a free-flowing column for the paper. and though I’ve been here for many years, I did just recently have one of those magical newspaper moments. I spent a few weeks this summer filling in as the acting editor and somehow didn’t burn the place down or get us sued.

What I saw in a different chair, however, was awe-inspiring. I saw how incredibly hard everyone in this building works just to get one single issue of the paper out the door and on to tens of thousands of doorsteps. and then those same people start from scratch and immediately do the whole thing over again. and again and again.

It’s a mini damn miracle each time one of those papers hits the printer, and yet it happens without fail, every time. and it happens in communities all across this country. Except not in my old hometown. That newspaper — which had been producing quality work, despite my childhood mocking, since 1908 — was shuttered this summer.

Many other papers large and small have met the same fate recently and that’s sad news because, in this digital age, newspapers still matter. Journalism still matters. We’re the ones at council meetings, in the courthouse, on the streets during emergency situations to find out what’s going on, what the public needs to know.

Working this job, one thing that makes me cringe is when people start ranting about the “media,” some mythic, overarching cartel that is here to aid the powerful, push agendas and obscure the truth. I haven’t seen one bit of that. I’ve seen people asking questions no one else asks, reading documents no one else reads.

We aren’t “fake.” We’re real people, doing a job that lets us meet nearly everyone, know a bit about everything and spend massive amounts of time obsessing about Twitter.

It’s a great job, and I wasn’t joking about that other special moment: Cashing that paycheque is magical because I still feel incredibly lucky that someone pays me to do this.

rEADErS WrITE

On Prop Rep, dog waste bags & dusty playgrounds A variety of letters in a mixed mailbag this week...

SERVE ALL OF B.C.

The Editor, Re. “Variety of voices speak in favour of PR” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Oct. 10).

Under our current voting system, each successive government’s first act of business is to dismantle what the previous administration put in place. Why is that? Our voting system gives all power to one party.

But no one party can serve all the needs of British Columbians. Governments made up of several parties are more likely to serve the needs of more British Columbians. If you want long-term stability in public policies instead of the current flip-flops, vote for proportional representation and coalition government.

Also, minority and coalition governments get things done.

Canada has good experience to draw on. Federally, the minor-

ity governments of the 1960s produced significant policies of lasting benefit, including Medicare, Old Age Security pensions, the Transportation Act, the Bank Act and the maple leaf flag. No majority government can match that record.

Working together is not weakness, it is our strength. In the upcoming referendum on electoral reform, I will vote Yes for better government.

Nick Loenen, Richmond

CRAPPY MOVE

The Editor, I believe the removal of the dog waste bag dispenser adjacent to the waste receptacle near Port Coquitlam’s Evergreen Park on Lombardy (north side of the road), is a very shortsighted move by the city and completely senseless.

Look at the nearby walking paths and the population of dogs in the Lincoln Park neighbourhood. There will just not be the compliance effort

SPEAK Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. anymore by residents who can longer get the bags from that location that has been there for years.

Is the city that desperate to save money? I find it hard to believe that the savings of cost of these bags is going to outweigh the downside of the decision. How many licensed dogs are in the Lincoln Park area? Was that demographic checked out prior to the arbitrary removal?

This is not the only one that has been removed. I am aware that the same thing has been done at Chelsea Park as well as other locations

throughout the city.

Watch where you step now.

Philip Warburton, Port Coquitlam

DUSTY PLAYTIME

The Editor, At lunch time recently, I was walking along St. Johns Street past Moody elementary school and I saw that the children were literally playing in a dust cloud. Because there isn’t grass in the playground, but gravel, when they run, all the dust churns up and it’s really polluted air. It can’t be good for their little lungs as they are closer to the ground and breathing deeply from the exertion of running and playing.

I think a specialist should be brought in to measure the air quality during playtime at the children’s level. The dust bothered my eyes and breathing, and I was on the other side of St. Johns Street from the school.

VOTESMART/18: ANMORE MAYORAL RACE

Infill bylaw, Anmore Green among issues

Community Information Meeting VENUE

DIAne StrAnDberG The Tri-CiTy News

For many people, Anmore is the lovely, rural village that one must drive through to get to Buntzen Lake or Belcarra Regional Park.

But for those who live there, that rural charm is what makes Anmore so special and they want to keep it that way.

For the Oct. 20 civic election, two men are running for mayor and both want to keep Anmore a rural oasis — but have different views on how to go about it.

Glen Coutts, a retired BC Hydro manager, is running against Mayor John McEwen on what he considers to be a platform of better governance because he believes a recent bylaw change allowing infill housing on one-acre lots was rushed and lacked public support.

“It wasn’t clear to me how our village’s demographics had changed, I wasn’t aware of it,” said Coutts, who has been a member of Anmore civic committees and was a village councillor for a term in the late 1990s.

“This this was a significant departure.”

Coutts said he was drawn to get more involved because of what he believes was an undemocratic process and now that the infill bylaw has been passed, thinks it needs more clarity.

“There’s fundamental things that are wrong with it that need further management and guidelines to our planner. It’s in and I accept it, that doesn’t mean it’s ready to roll out.”

Coutts said he’s also unhappy with delays to resolving the sewage problem at Anmore Green estates and says he would

NOTES

All four village councillors and the school trustee for Anmore and Belcarra, Kerri Palmer Isaak, were all acclaimed. support the estate joining the regional sewer system as long as owners pay for it and Anmore as a whole isn’t required to join.

Mayor John McEwen, a small business owner, is running again to ensure that Anmore gets its village hall built and touts the village’s good financial situation as one of the main reasons voters should reelect him.

“We’ve got really good momentum. we were able to overcome our infrastructure deficit.

We have money put aside,” McEwen said.

He disagrees that the infill zoning bylaw change was rushed and came out of the blue, saying it was discussed during the official community plan update in 2014. He said he initiated a task force to look into it because of concerns that had been raised.

“That was the only involvement I had,” he said, noting the change would affect about 35 properties.

McEwen said he’s also sup-

portive of Anmore Green estates joining the Metro sewer system and sees a way forward on the issue if an amendment to the OCP allowing the hookup were permitted and the housing development subsequently identified as a service area so only those homes were part of the sewer with all the requirements and fees.

Until then, the village is fulfilling its requirement to file a liquid waste management plan with the Ministry of Environment and will look at every other option first.

“This is a big game-changer for a lot of people up here, that’s why as a council we need to do our due diligence.”

VOTESMART/18: BELCARRA MAYORAL CANDIDATES (council candidates: page 17)

1 veteran, 2 newbies vie for top Belcarra job Three candidates are vying to replace longtime Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew. They are:

NEIL BELENKIE

A few months back, Neil Belenkie said, he sat through a council meeting and shook his head as council took nearly two hours discussing a garbage container that was too heavy to lift.

“That’s why no one shows up to these meetings,” the mayoral contender told The Tri-City News. “I think that I can improve the productivity based on governance.”

A firefighter with the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department, Belenkie is taking a different approach in his campaign than the other two candidates seeking to replace longtime Mayor Ralph Drew: He believes his experience running public and private companies around the world will help him make Belcarra run more efficiently — more like a business than a civic bureaucracy.

Belenkie fell in love with the community while he travelled around Metro Vancouver as a pharmaceutical rep; he and his wife have called the village home for the past 11 years.

And although Belenkie has little political experience, he said he wanted to go for the top job rather than run for councillor “because I’d like to make the village a better place.”

A councillor, he said,

“doesn’t have the same degree or influence the mayor does.

The mayor sets the tone for the village. The mayor is responsible for holding everybody — including the councillors — responsible for policies they’re supposed to deliver on.”

Phone: 604-839-5313 Email: neilbelenkie@gmail.com Twitter: @neilbelenkie Instagram: @neilbelenkie

COLM COLE

When it comes to guiding principles should he be elected mayor of Belcarra, Colm Cole said he’ll rely on his pledge to village residents to be transparent, accessible and fiscally responsible.

“My feeling is that the village can just be run better,” said Cole, a resident for 22 years whose resume includes being a private pilot, department head of anesthesia at St. Paul’s Hospital and an astronaut finalist with the Canadian Space Program.

Running for mayor isn’t something the semi-retired Cole wanted to do, he said.

Over the years, Cole watched the council make, what he calls, “the wrong decisions” and sunk the municipality into debt, including a $180,000 deficit on its operating budget.

And he compared the village’s spending to that of Lions Bay, “which seems to be run much better,” he said, holding the line on such small items as

councillor and mayor expenses.

Cole, who has never run for civic government nor been part of a village committee or task force, said he would like to tackle big capital projects like road improvements and hooking up the remaining one third of village residents to the potable water system.

JAMIE ROSS

With 28 years under his belt as a village councillor, Jamie Ross believes he’s the best equipped candidate to replace Ralph Drew as mayor.

“I’m experienced, I’ve got proven leadership and I’m able to get things done,” he told The Tri-City News. “Like the residents in the village of Belcarra, I think this is a special place and it’s worth investing time and leadership in.”

A former School District 43 human resources manager, Ross started his civic service a year after he and his wife moved to Belcarra in 1989; he was one of the few new candidates in Metro Vancouver to unseat an incumbent, he said.

Over the years, Ross said, he has been an effective collaborator, been open minded and helped council establish new policies such as building a park bypass road, updating

CONFLICT OF INTEREST Biggest issue regarding School District 43 over the last four years is the free trips to China for all school trustees.

Not all the trustees accept the invitation to go to China, Port Coquitlam trustees, Anmore trustees and half the Coquitlam trustees are regular attendees.

The school trustees continue to ignore consistent public opinions on the topic. The fact that the first trips to China were never discussed at public board meetings, lacked transparency. If it was not for the diligent effort of a newspaper reporter doing her job, the trips would not have come to light. Either trustees did not realize the importance of reporting important issues to the public or do they think they are not accountable to the public.

All school district employees, with the exception of school trustees are bound by a code of conduct which forbids accepting gift, payments, favours or service from, to any individual or organization in the course of the performance of their assigned duties.

The school trustees did not do a good job explaining what trustees did in China. Last week there was a communication from a trustee that explained that trustees waited in small groups for any calls from various Chinese schools or agents that may request a visit.

If people still feel strong enough over this issue, I would suggest they exercise their right to vote for new trustee candidates.

the zoning bylaw and setting up reserves for future — and unanticipated — projects.

Still, much work needs to be done for the village’s 700 residents, he said.

Door knocking since mid-

August, the retiree said he has heard about the need to control forest fires (after two record firefighting seasons) and the push to control parking around Belcarra Regional Park, where some 800,000

people visit each summer.

VOTESMART/18: BELCARRA COUNCIL

6 want 4 council spots Six candidates are running for village council in Belcarra.

The four who responded to The Tri-City News’ survey are:

Carolina Clark

Age: 32 Belcarra resident for: 5 years Campaign funding: selffunded and donations Previous community/civic service: In the past, I was part of the board of directors for a non-governmental association (Brazilian Community Association); most recently, I was part of the zoning advisory committee in Belcarra.

What are the three most pressing issues facing the village?

Communication: more public consultation on important decisions. Debt: prioritize our spending in order to pay our debt faster. Safety: fire and road safety with parking and wild fire prevention being priorities.

How will you ensure the village doesn’t go into debt?

Spending only what is necessary for now, maintaining what we have and look into cutting costs where we can but most important making sure we get the best value for our money in everything we spend. are you in favour of connecting all village properties to the new water system?

I like that most villagers have the choice to either connect

Craig HODGE for Coquitlam Council

BelCarra: Hear tHeM liVe SunDaY Belcarra voters can hear the mayoral and council challengers at an all-candidates meeting Sunday at Belcarra village hall (4084 Bedwell Bay Rd.). The event runs from 3 to 5:30 p.m. and will have a different format from last month’s debate. Contenders will answer prepared questions — including topics such as short-term rentals, fire protection, building permits, recycling facilities and water system costs — as well as take questions from the floor. to the water system or keep on using their wells. I do not believe residents should be forced to connect to the water and I would like to see more being able to have the choice.

BruCe Drake

Age: 69 Belcarra resident for: 43 years Campaign funding: selffunded Previous community/civic service: I have served on council for over 30 years.

What are the three most pressing issues facing the village?

Hotter, drier summers necessitate remediation re. wildfire risks; increasing park visitation requires co-ordinated management of parking as current approach is, during summer peaks, an accident waiting to happen; and, finally, maintaining effective services on a limited budget is a constant need as Belcarra has no commercial tax base.

How will you ensure the village doesn’t go into debt?

Prudent budgeting and ongoing management appropriate to our modest tax base. are you in favour of connecting all village properties to the new water system?

It is currently impractical to connect all of the village due to the very high cost of accessing the more remote portion of our community unless a very significant subsidy was secured.

DeBoraH Struk

Age: did not answer Belcarra resident for: more than 20 years Campaign funding: selffunded Previous community/civic service: CRAB board member, Belcarra Blessings columnist for The Barnacle, environmental volunteer, launched John Reynolds Mother’s Day Birdwalk, BlockWatch captain, see ‘TRANSPARENCY’, page 21

VOTESMART/18: BELCARRA COUNCIL

‘Transparency’ is one key issue in candidate answers continued from page 17

zoning advisory committee member What are the three most pressing issues facing the village?

Transparency, as to how business is and has been conducted with open communication between all residents; sustainability, as a village; and aging in place.

How will you ensure the village doesn’t go into debt?

The village is still in debt for our $9-million water system by about $3 million, so a first priority is looking at ways to pay off that debt while also looking at all the ways to cut costs.

Are you in favour of connecting all village properties to the new water system?

Under the agreement (which many residents were not happy with), all residents must, at some time in the future, hook into the water system. I am not

in favour of forcing residents on. I am in favour of one day connecting Belcarra taxpayers in Farrer Cove.

LiisA WiLder

Age: 60 Belcarra resident for: more than 16 years Campaign funding: selffunded Previous community/ civic service: OCP committee member; CRAB director and volunteer; BlockWatch volunteer; Barnacle contributor; host an email notice board.

What are the three most pressing issues facing the village?

Homeowners are concerned about reducing the debt of our water system; spending without taxpayer consultation (transparency); and forest fire prevention.

How will you ensure the village doesn’t go into debt?

We already have a debt with

the water system; however, I will do my best to make informed decisions and be fiscally responsible as to where our hard-earned taxpayer dollars are being spent.

Are you in favour of connecting all village properties to the new water system?

Not all residential properties within the village were included in the boundaries of the water system (e.g. Farrer Cove was excluded); however, we need to respect the homeowners that were given a choice to connect or not. No one should be forced to and we need proper consultation before joining non-residential properties. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

CROSSROADS HOSPICE SOCIETY

The opening of a new $1-million pathway in downtown Port Coquitlam was feted Tuesday. The city hosted the party on Hawthorne Avenue to celebrate the completion of the Donald Street pathway, which extends from Welcher Avenue to Central elementary. The party was a thank you to the neighbourhood for putting up with the construction over the spring and summer months. The four metre-wide paved walkway adds to the pathway’s first leg, from Wilson Avenue to Elks Park, built in 2014. The new project resulted in the conversion of 200 m of local roadway and the relocation of utilities and road access for eight properties.

Get out your scariest pen 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 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; 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.

Haven in West Port Coquitlam has a location story no one else has. Set amid a protected greenbelt and near a network of trails means quiet walks along the river, stick-throwing sessions with the dog, and safe bike rides with the kids are an everyday thing. 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.

The Good Life Get ready for flu season Ken Kuhn Tri-CiTies seniors Planning neTwork CoordinaTor

Most pharmacies have received their first shipments of influenza vaccine to meet the demands for the upcoming flu season.

In Canada, influenza affects between 10 and 20% of the population. The highest rates of infection are with children aged five to nine, adults over 65 years of age, and those with underlying medical conditions.

Influenza is a serious public health concern in Canada, with an estimated 175,000 emergency room visits, 12,200 influenza-related hospitalizations (70% are seniors), and 3,500 influenza-related deaths (91% are seniors).

Influenza affects the ability to perform the normal activities of daily living in seniors, such as getting dressed, bathing or eating.

Influenza infections often result in strokes, heart attacks and respiratory problems up to two weeks after sicknesses occur.

Underlying medical conditions are reported by 74% of Canadians. These conditions include cancer, high blood pressure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPS), diabetes and stroke or heart disease.

Potential respiratory complications of influenza include asthma and COPD exacerbations, ear and sinus infections, or bronchitis and pneumonia. Influenza may also trigger stroke, heart attacks, or diabetes.

For persons aged 65 years and over, the risk of influenza-attributed death was five

times greater among those with chronic heart diseases, 12 times greater among those with chronic lung diseases and 20 times greater among those with both chronic heart and lung diseases.

For the 2018/’19 flu season, the Canadian National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommends at the individual level for persons 65 years of age and older that the High-Dose TIV vaccination should be offered over the standard-dose TIV. Because of the natural and progressive weakening of the immune system over time, something called immune senescence, people about the age of 45 or 50 are more susceptible to disease, an increased incidence and severity of infectious diseases, and a reduction in vaccine effectiveness.

Given the burden of disease associated with influenza A (H3N2) and the better efficacy, those seniors especially with a preexisting medical condition would benefit from the High-Dose flu shot.

As the High-Dose flu vaccine is not yet free for seniors in B.C. as it is in some other provinces, a seniors’ organization called CARP BC is trying to encourage and help to lower the price of the High-Dose flu shots for seniors.

CARP has partnered with London Drugs and Save-On-Foods pharmacies to honour a flat $75 charge per dose (including all administration fees, dispensing fees, and taxes) under the Stand Up Straight Initiative. Seniors 65 years of age or older can register with the program at www.standupstraightbc.com.

Hockey serves aspirations for Connell Son of tennis pro finds his legs with Express MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Cooper Connell forged his passion for hockey on the tennis courts.

His dad is former Canadian tennis professional Grant Connell so naturally Cooper and his older sister, Madison, gravitated to the sport when the family went to hit the ball around at Hollyburn Tennis Club in West Vancouver, where they live.

While both Cooper and Madison quickly discovered they preferred the atmosphere and camaraderie of team sports, they both carry with them their father’s dedication to success and commitment to hard work that made him the 67th-ranked singles tennis player in the world in 1991 and the top-ranked doubles player in 1993. They also learned the value of leveraging their athletic attributes to achieve an education.

Cooper Connell, 17, kicked that quest into high gear when he joined the Coquitlam Express of the BC Hockey League after scoring 36 points in 40 games with the Vancouver NW Giants of the BC Major Midget League last season. Madison is a sophomore at Stanford University on a field hockey scholarship. Two younger twin sisters are also showing sporting inclinations, and another is gravitating to dance.

Connell said his dad has

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Cooper Connell, the son of Canadian tennis great Grant Connell, is one of the youngest players on the Coquitlam Express. But the team’s coach, Jason Fortier, says 17 year-old’s background has given the him the maturity and determination to succeed on the ice. always imparted to the family a belief they can achieve whatever they set out to accomplish. And with stories of his dad’s successes and experiences playing college tennis at Texas A&M University where he reached the NCAA quarterfinals in singles in 1984 echoing in his head, he knows he wants his hockey to earn him a scholarship to a U.S. college.

That goal made Connell’s decision to take his next step in hockey with the BCHL easy.

More than 100 players in the league are already committed to head south of the border in the next two years.

The rest was up to Express

coach Jason Fortier.

“I liked how he operates,” Connell said. “I want to put myself around the right people.”

Fortier said Connell has a high level of hockey intelligence with plenty of tools to get even better.

“His ceiling is pretty high.”

But more importantly, he said, his rookie forward understands the amount of hard work it will take to reach for that ceiling.

Connell said that comes from his dad.

“He always said to be the best you can be and be true to yourself.”

And he imparted those lessons in every family activity, whether it was lobbing tennis balls back and forth at Hollyburn, or playing ping pong in the basement of their house. In fact, last summer father and son teamed up to reach the final in the parent/ child draw at the Stanley Park Open.

Grant Connell said his son has always been a quick study.

“He’s super competitive,” said the senior Connell, who now sells real estate. “He’s always been the captain of his own ship.”

Connell has three goals and an assist 13 games into his ju-

nior career. He said the game is faster, more physical than at any other level of hockey he played at before.

“You have to work hard every shift,” he said. “You have to keep your feet moving.”

Fortier said while 6’3” Connell may be one of the youngest players on the team, his maturity is already apparent.

“He’s a positive influence in the [dressing[ room,” he said.

PARENTS HONOURED The Express are celebrating the parents of the team’s players with a series of special events this weekend kicking

off tonight (Friday) when the team will wear special pink jerseys to help raise awareness about breast cancer. That will be followed by a reception for parents and billet families, as well as players and staff.

The Express go into Friday’s game against Chilliwack just two points back of the Chiefs, who lead the Mainland Division with 18 points.

After suffering a 5-4 loss in Chilliwack last Friday, the Express bounced back Saturday with a 4-3 win over the Surrey Eagles at South Surrey Arena.

The Eagles jumped out to a 2-0 lead before the first period was 7 minutes old, but Coquitlam’s Pito Walton halved the advantage with a power play goal late in the frame.

Nicholas Wildgoose then got the Express back on even terms late in the second period with his fourth goal of the season.

Surrey went up 3-2 8:43 into the third period when Liam Ryan beat Express goalie Kolby Matthews but just over half a minute later Joshua Wildauer tied it again with his fifth goal of the season.

That set the table for Christian Sanda to score the winner with a little more than five minutes to play in the third period.

The win avenged a 4-1 loss to the Eagles last Wednesday in Coquitlam that ended the Express’ six-game winning streak.

• Game time tonight is 7 p.m. at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex.

The Express will then host the Nanaimo Clippers on Sunday at 3 p.m.
