NighTly sTories CoNjure New book MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

Keven McTaggart doesn’t read story books to his son, Nathan, at bedtime. Instead, they conjure wild, fantastical scenarios and craft them into stories from their imaginations. Now, one of those scenarios has come to life as a new children’s book that is being relaunched today (Friday) when Nathan drops the ceremonial face-off before the Coquitlam Express play the Langley Rivermen at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. Accompanying Nathan to centre ice will be one of the characters in his first book, Santa Claus and His Super Hero. Jolly old Saint Nick is taking some time from his busy pre-Christmas preparations to celebrate his timely extrication from a chimney with the first responders who rescued him. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Nathan McTaggart, 11, found his inspiration for his first children’s book from the imaginary scenarios he conjured with his dad, Keven, instead of reading from traditional books.

FIRE & RESCUE

PoCo fire deemed suspicious GoFundMe pages started for victims DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam RCMP are investigating a suspicious fire in the

1900-block of Fraser Avenue in Port Coquitlam that destroyed three buildings and displaced a dozen people. Tuesday’s fire resulted in the evacuation of several residents, including two families with children attending James Park elementary

school where fundraising is underway. “It’s a tragic story. One family is bad enough but to have two of our kids in the same day is tough,” said Lindsay Krause, who is chair of the school’s Parent Advisory Council. So far, a few hundred dol-

lars in cash and gift cards, as well as clothing and toiletries, have been collected but more is needed because the families had to flee the fire with nothing but the clothes on their back, Krause said. see GOFUNDME, page 14

SEARS CLOSURE

Demise of brick-and-mortar retail store ‘really tragic’, says shoppers Sears is closing its doors across the country DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Two years after Target left the Tri-City shopping landscape, Sears Canada is about to close, leaving many shoppers saddened and wondering about the future of retail. Today (Friday), the department store was expected to apply to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for approval to liquidate all of its remaining locations and assets, including the retail outlet at Coquitlam Centre Mall. If approved, as many as 134 employees at the Coquitlam store will lose their jobs, 94 of them part-time, once store assets are liquidated, likely after the Christmas shopping season. “Pending approval of the court this Friday, liquidation sales at all retail locations, would commence no earlier than Oct. 19 and continue for 10 to 14 weeks. Most employees at retail locations will be asked to work through the liquidation process,” a company spokesperson stated in an email to The Tri-City News. The closure is a blow to the

Walmart has since moved into the space vacated by Target, but some local shoppers wonder what will be done with the large Sears space once it is gone.

“This is really tragic,” said Carol Blaber, who with her husband, Peter was checking out the Sears store on Wednesday, looking for deals. The couple said the store has been a part of their lives for years. It’s where they purchased their appliances, clothing and other household items.

“They stood by their appliances,” Carol said. With the arrival of online shopping, many say the future of brick and mortar stores are in doubt, but the Blabers say they have no time for online shopping. “You can’t look at a picture on a computer, it’s not going

to tell you anything,” said Peter Blaber, who said he prefers to shop in a store if he has to make a purchase. The couple is also concerned about the employees and where they will find jobs once Sears closes. Similar worries were expressed by Catherine and Alan Oloman, who told The News they were sad to see the demise of Sears that has had such a long history in Canada. Catalogue shopping, introduced when Sears first moved to Canada in 1952 as a partnership with Simpson’s national mail-order business, is still popular with the couple. The Olomans said they would buy clothes and toys for their children and grandchildren through the catalogue, the popular Christmas Wish Book, which inspired many a childhood gift wish list to Santa. “I’m sad to see it go. I think it’s going to affect the economy,” said Catherine, who with her husband has lived in Coquitlam for 45 years. For many couples, Sears was the place to go for fridges, stoves, shoes and boots, bedding, hardware and even tools, and the Olomons say it was a reasonably-priced option. “You could get a better deal,” Alan said.

Coquitlam Centre will soon be looking for a retailer or redevelopment opportunity to take over the large footprint Sears has occupied since 1993. Marketing director Deborah Stetz said the iconic retailer is currently leasing 151,455 sq. ft. and will be missed because it has a long history in the area, noting that Sears took over the space vacated by Woodward’s when it closed. “We’ve all grown up with Sears,” she said. “Anytime you lose a major retailer, especially one with a history that Sears has, it’s always disappointing.” However there could be opportunities as well, despite the looming departure of Sears whose stakeholders are seeking approval to sell its 130 stores across Canada and lay off 12,000 employees. Located next to Lincoln Station on the Evergreen Extension of the Millennium Line, Coquitlam Centre remains an important destination for regional shoppers and Stetz suggested there could be some changes in the future. “Ultimately, there’s going to be opportunity at Coquitlam Centre,” she said. “Consumers can be assured there will be another retailer or retailers or there may be an opportunity for redevelopment. Our focus is to find the best opportunity to serve the community as well as our customers.” As to whether online shopping is posing a challenge for retailers like Sears, Stetz said that while the retail landscape is changing, retailers at Coquitlam Centre are endeavouring to meet the needs of shoppers in their bricks and mortar outlet and online. “A lot of our retailers are looking at ways to generate a really great indoor experience as they also look to develop a really great online experience,” Stetz said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

PORT MOODY HERITAGE

House move turns up piece of PoMo history Docs outlining 1943 divorce settlement found DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

A Port Moody man who has made a career out of moving heritage homes to save them uncovered a bit of local history with his latest effort. Fred Soofi was about to put the wraps on the relocation of the Siddall residence at 2901 St. Johns St. when he found a divorce document dating back to 1943. The yellowed legal sheets depict the settlement between James Pridham Siddall, a sawmill engineer and the original owner of the home, and his wife Helen Mae. “This is history and shows how people lived in a time of war,” said Soofi, who has hired Pridy Bros. to move the 1922era, craftsman-style home from its St. Johns Street location to 123 Douglas St. in Port Moody this weekend. Jim Buckley, the grandson of James Siddall and former resident of the home, said the divorce shocked the family because it resulted from James embarking on a new relationship with a teacher. “My mom took it very hard,” Buckley recalls, although he was only a toddler at the time.

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody resident Fred Soofi, who is moving the Siddall residence from 2901 St. Johns St. in Port Moody to a new location at 123 Douglas St., found a divorce document detailing a settlement between the original owners in the closet of the 1920’s era home. Jim Millar, executive director of the Port Moody Station Museum, said the document is interesting because divorces weren’t all that common and

this one between the longtime PoMo residents shows how things had begun to change by the war years. “During the war years is

when divorces started to become okay,” he acknowledged. The document tells a sad story of a couple who had

been married for 33 years. In this agreement, James agreed to pay his wife $50 a month, as well as give her the house and a $200 cash settlement.

Now the house will be preserved in its new location between two other heritage homes that Soofi moved in recent years, the Sutherland residence, and the Moisio residence. All three homes would have been destined for the wrecking ball because they were on properties slated for development. “You’ve got to really love it,” said Soofi of moving heritage homes, noting that while he got the Siddall building for free he will end up spending more than $100,000 to move it. Millar said preserving older homes in the city will become increasingly more difficult as more density is planned. “The city is going to be going through tremendous development in the next few years,” he said. “Is that the way it should go? Tear down everything and build new stuff… it makes you wonder where it’s all going to go.” The Siddall residence will be the fifth house moved by Soofi. As for Buckley, now living in Parksville, he was surprised the divorce document was found. He remembers having tea with his grandmother on the front porch, but those kinds of activities became impossible because of noise from the St. Johns Street traffic. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

PORT COQUITLAM

Residents warned of neighbours facing sex-related charges JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

Residents in an affordable multi-family housing complex in Port Coquitlam are concerned about their safety after probation officers told them two of their neighbours face sex-related charges. Last month, two probation officers knocked on doors in Meridian Village — a Metro Vancouver Housing Corp. complex on Coast Meridian Rd., with more than 560 renters — to alert tenants about a father and son living in the area who are alleged to have committed offences. The details of the criminal proceedings can’t be disclosed under a court-ordered publication ban. A resident and mother of two young boys, who declined to be named for fear of reprisal, told The Tri-City News on Wednesday the probation officers told her and her neighbours the men are “not to have intentional interactions and conversations” with kids under the age of 16. As well, they are to stay away from daycares, schools, playgrounds, parks and recreation centres. The mother said this poses a problem as Meridian Village is known for its family-friendly environment, has a childcare centre and is located close to Birchland elementary; also, it is within walking distance of Minnekhada middle, Terry Fox secondary and the Hyde Creek rec centre. She said she has seen the two men watch kids play outside at the area daycare and playground. “Our complex community is outraged and we fear for the safety of our children,” the mother wrote in an email to The Tri-City News. “For the time being, our children are not allowed to play outside as these individuals sit on their front door step, watching our

“Most commonly these types of notifications are issued to neighbours of clients who are being supervised under a court order regarding a sexual offence.” Spokesperson at the Public Safety Ministry children play.” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Mike McLaughlin said police are aware of the notification made by the probation officers and referred media questions to corrections branch of the ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, which is headed by Port Coquitlam NDP MLA Mike Farnworth. Due to privacy concerns, the ministry wasn’t able to name the men nor specify their charges. However, an official outlined the policy pertaining to individuals under court-ordered supervision. “BC Corrections may issue a notice to an individual, neighbours, group or the general public to ensure people have the information they need to protect themselves and their families,” he said, adding, “Door-to-door notifications to neighbours — known as Consistent Purpose Notifications — are conducted when staff do not have the authority to approve where a client resides but have made a determination that an individual is living in a location where neighbours and/or nearby schools should be notified about the court-ordered condition pertaining to an individual.”

“Most commonly these types of notifications are issued to neighbours of clients who are being supervised under a court order regarding a sexual offence,” the ministry official noted. He said probation staff are only permitted to show the individual’s photo and state his or her court-ordered conditions. “Privacy legislation does not permit further disclosure beyond what is shared with residents during the course of issuing the Consistent Purpose Notifications.” City spokesperson Pardeep Purewal said the municipality was also informed of the notification by the probation officers. “While we are not aware of the specifics of the case, the safety of the residents is always our top concern,” she stated, forwarding further questions to the ministry. Purewal also noted in her email: “Residents who witness criminal or suspicious activity are encouraged to call 911 in case of an emergency or the non-emergency line at 604945-1550.” Metro Vancouver spokesperson Don Bradley said the regional agency recently learned of the criminal charges against the two residents and it has been in contact with police, city authorities and the probation office. “We share the concerns of the tenants who brought the matter to our attention and, in response, we are investigating to better understand the circumstances.” Bradley added, “The safety and well-being of all of our residents is our primary concern.” Built in 1976, Meridian Village is a 15.5-acre site with 202 units and about 568 residents. It consists of 130 townhomes and 72 apartments, which are market and subsidized rentals. It’s also home to the Port Coquitlam Children’s Centre, a non-profit society for children under 12.

A bylaw that amends Port Moody’s official community plan to prioritize higher-density development in areas wellserved by public transit and public amenities like parks, schools and commercial services was adopted by council on Tuesday. But newly minted Coun. Hunter Madsen said the policy that will help council make decisions on future developments ignores “the great big elephant in the room” — traffic congestion. Madsen, who was elected to council in a byelection on Sept. 30, said leaving consideration of the impact higher density development could have on road congestion in the city

out of the new policy is a “serious oversight.” He proposed an amendment to the policy that higher-density developments couldn’t “add significantly to local road congestion.” “It’s the number one quality of life concern of Port Moody residents,” Madsen said. Coun. Zoe Royer, the only other councillor at Tuesday’s meeting to support Madsen’s amendment, said she couldn’t think of anywhere in the city where any kind of new development wouldn’t add traffic. But Coun. Barb Junker said the impact on traffic is always a consideration when new developments are proposed. “I don’t think council is overlooking it,” she said. Coun. Meghan Lahti agreed traffic congestion is an important

issue in the city, but that adding it as part of city policy on development isn’t “the right place.” But Madsen said that’s exactly where it should happen. “We’re basically saying we’re willing to put this at the beginning of discussions of development projects,” Madsen said. Coun. Diana Dilworth said measuring the impact of development on road congestion is hard to pin down. “On some roadways 80 additional cars wouldn’t add significant congestions but on others it would,” she said. But Madsen said it would be easy enough to measure traffic and compare it to the current capacity of roadways in the city. “I think we all know what significant levels of congestion feels like,” he said.

PORT MOODY

Project to daylight creek, create new park Development will be built on land in Moody Centre MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

A new life for Dallas Creek, a new park in Moody Centre and new affordable homes for up to nine people with challenges are all part of a development being proposed for St. George

Street. The project, to be built on three parcels of land between Buller and Williams streets by developer Marcon Developments Ltd., will be comprised of 179 units — 102 of them one-bedroom — in two six-storey condo buildings and a three-storey townhouse complex with 73 units. Six of the units in the condo buildings will be affordable housing for clients of Kinsight, a community organization that

provides support to families of children and youth at risk, or who are experiencing developmental delay or disability, as well as to adults with a developmental disability. Those units will be able to house up to nine individuals. Marcon has also committed to day lighting the Dallas Creek watershed, creating a natural habitat around the stream that includes planting 187 new trees as well as a new 3,360 sq. m public park that includes

a greenway trail and an open play area. “This is something we’ve talked about as a council for years,” Coun. Diana Dilworth said of the proposed amenities as Tuesday’s council meeting considered a rezoning application for the project. She also praised the developer’s collaboration with Kinsight, which currently owns a house with three affordable housing units on the site to be redeveloped. But according to

a report presented to council, the house is “aging” and “in need of extensive repair and does not meet Kinsight’s goal of providing housing for people with physical disabilities.” “That was a huge win for me in this proposal,” Dilworth said. Coun. Barbara Junker said the mix of condos and townhouses provides plenty of needed housing options for young families as well as downsizers.

“In this case, I think Port Moody gains more,” she said. Mayor Mike Clay said the project could be a boon for the neighbourhood. “To end up with this result in the heart of your city is pretty unusual,” he said. The rezoning application, as well as an amendment to the city’s official community plan to allow the development to proceed will go to a public hearing on Oct. 24. mbartel@tricitynews.com

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Ready to rumble?

chools are well prepared for an earthquake and many city employees and emergency responders are, too. But what of the average Tri-City resident, many of whom may be living alone in condominiums, are elderly or who don’t have family nearby? These are vulnerable people who may be at risk in a quake. It doesn’t take much to put an emergency kit together, make an emergency communication plan with family members and secure items, such as furniture that could topple over and injure someone. But how many people actually take this action? The warnings come so often that people tend to ignore them. But we’ve been told we need to be able to look after ourselves for 72 hours after a quake. With Oct. 19 approaching, when the BC Earthquake Alliance Society and ShakeOut BC ask people to practice drop, cover and hold on, it may be time to actually take the steps necessary to be prepared for the Big One. Are you ready?

ON THE FIELD

The ‘stick to sports’ crew comes unglued I

feel bad for all of the “stick to sports” guys. All they wanted to do was watch baseball players hit dingers, basketball stars throw fundamentally sound bounce passes and football players make literally mind-blowing tackles without having to think about “politics.” I get it. Sports are their escape from the “real world” — the day-to-day drudgery of working at the mill, mowing the lawn and posting videos on Facebook. ANDY PREST But then, about a year ago, this guy Colin Kaepernick comes along and quietly sits for the U.S. national anthem at several football games before someone finally notices and a reporter asks him about it. Kaepernick, disturbed by several cases of unarmed black men being killed with no repercussions, says he is protesting the oppression of people of colour in America and ongoing police brutality. He immediately becomes a villain to some and a hero to others, and the rest, as they say, is minor history. Or it probably would have been minor history save for the interNEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

vention last week of President Drunk Uncle. Despite the fact that, you know, Kaepernick has been effectively blackballed by the NFL — he remains unsigned despite showing enough talent to at least be a backup in one of the toughest positions in all of sports — Trumpy decided to use Kaepernick as a punching bag at a recent rally in Alabama. The very, very presidential president said that NFL owners should respond to protesting players by saying, “Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, he’s fired. He’s fired!” Somehow, shockingly, the players didn’t obey the very, very powerful president, with hundreds joining in protests in one form or another over the weekend. None were fired. Trump stuck to sports later that weekend, disinviting NBA superstar Steph Curry from a trip to the White House to commemorate the championship win for the Golden State Warriors. Many athletes responded to the president’s behaviour with varying critiques ranging from the thoughtful to the exasperated to the angry, although superstar Lebron James threw down the hardest dunk simply by calling Trump “U bum.” Anyway, it seems like no one for the foreseeable future is in any way going to simply “stick to sports.” Donald Trump certainly won’t shut up about sports, politics and protests — he’s been tweeting about it all week. When the president spends more time criticizing

black athletes quietly kneeling than he did white supremacists running over people with cars, those athletes are going to respond, and many other people are going to want to talk about it too. So all of the guys who constantly try to shut down adult conversations about anything deeper than Tom Brady’s blue eyes with that phrase “stick to sports” are out of luck — no one is listening. With sports and politics now firmly intertwined, maybe the “stick to sports” crew needs to find other, less powerful people they can try to shout down. Wherever the “stick to sports” guys end up now that they’ve been forced to leave their favourite teams behind, I hope they find peace. I do feel bad for them, completely unable to take just a few minutes to imagine what it’s like to be someone else, to contemplate what life is like for a person of colour, even a famous one, who has led a very different existence than them. To consider that it would take a lot of courage to stand up — or kneel down — for something you believe in, a greater good for yourself and those less fortunate, even knowing that you may lose endorsement money, your job, even face threats from the president of the United States. Stick to sports? That game is over. Andy Prest is the sports editor of the North Shore News. aprest@nsnews.com • @Sports_Andy

Put away the swatter when you see spiders The Editor, My son Aaron recently started at a new school and after his first day he said he had “the worst day ever.” Why? Because at recess he was observing a spider when along came a kid who squished it. This incident, combined with the the changing season, which means more spiders are moving indoors, prompted us to share what we have learned through reading countless books and watching nearly every video there is about our eight-legged friends. Spiders are incredibly important for ecological balance, feasting on between 400 million and 800 million tons of prey each year. So, unless you want a house or garden full of pests, you may want to consider putting down the bug swatter and instead grab a magnifying glass. Spiders have eight eyes — how cool is that? We have learned from B.C.

Port Coquitlam is considering a ban on smoking in playgrounds and parks. METRO CREATIVE

SMOKING BAN

Butt out in PoCo parks SUBMITTED PHOTO

Spiders are important for ecological balance, says Aaron Paddon and his mom Jane. scientists that while most spiders are harmless, it is still best to exercise caution if you are not familiar with the species, such as the famous black widow. But the reality is that spiders are far more helpful to humans than they are harmful. In some cultures they are also a sign of good luck.

As this is spider-mating season, many spiders are moving indoors, not because they want to give you a Halloween scare but rather to find a soul mate. So let’s give them a chance, because we sure could all use some more love in the world. Jane Paddon Coquitlam

The Editor, Re. “Should be able to light up in parks,” (Letters, The TriCity News, Oct. 4). I had to read Robert Smith’s letter three times and still couldn’t believe what I was reading. Mr. Smith is criticizing Port Coquitlam Coun. Brad West’s proposal to ban smoking in playgrounds and parks because it would “limit our rights as smokers.” Well, as a mother of two kids who’ve been exposed to second-hand smoke while playing at Lions Park, what about the rights of my two young children? What about the rights of all of us who don’t want to be exposed to the dangerous health effects of

second-hand smoke while enjoying community amenities? Nobody is saying smokers can’t be in parks. You’ll just have to wait until your in your car or home before lighting up. I support West’s proposal 100% and thank him for bringing it forward. It’s about time that PoCo kids and residents were protected from secondhand smoke. It’s 2017. Let’s keep up with other cities who have already done it. Valerie Harris Port Coquitlam The Editor Robert Smith in his letter cites his right to smoke in public parks because he pays his taxes. Those same taxes may

allow us to drive on the roads but rules say we drive on the right and not the left and why? To prevent bad things from happening. Smoking is a bad thing. It is a major factor in hospital costs. Kids breathe the stuff in but not only that, they adopt the behaviour in many cases. Go to any seat of learning and you will see the number of younger adults that smoke. Where do they get the idea that it’s OK to do so? From adults. So Robert, I’m sorry but I’m one that supports the ban. I understand the addiction but you’ll have to learn to deal with it at home.

PoCo’s Fire Chief Nick Delmonico told The Tri-City News that the little boy told a fire education officer that he knew what to do because he had just learned about the importance of escape plans as part of this week’s Fire Prevention Week. “It’s very good news from an education point of view,” Delmonico said. He also confirmed that Coquitlam RCMP are taking over the case. According to Delmonico, Tuesday’s fire was deemed suspicious because it started in a building under construction that was not hooked up to electrical and thus didn’t have a

potential ignition source. “We were unable to determine a cause, but at this time it’s deemed suspicious and handed over to the RCMP for further investigation,” Delmonico, said. Cpl. Michael McLaughlin confirmed police are handling the case although he said the police have been working alongside PoCo fire all week. “I spoke to some of our detectives, they are in the process of gathering evidence in our investigation,” McLaughlin said. Police are searching for evidence that can explain what caused the fire that began in a construction site and spread to two nearby homes and melted the siding off of neighbouring residences.

BC’s Captivating Coastal Towns BY MICHELLE PENTZ GLAVE

It’s not hard to find quaint, quirky towns on the ocean in BC, a province with nearly 26,000 km (16,000 mi) of Pacific coastline, some 40,000 islands, and distinctive laid-back West Coast culture. Each one has its own style and vibe, of course. These top towns will surprise and delight you—and undoubtedly make you want to stay longer. TOFINO

Once the area’s biggest fishing port and salmon cannery back in the 1800s powered by Japanese immigrants, seaside village Steveston, though officially part of Richmond now, still feels true to its roots. At the mouth of the Fraser River, it’s within easy reach of metro Vancouver, but with all the small-town allure of a maritime community. Pick up fresh-off-the-boat prawns, halibut, crab, and salmon on the docks; stroll the historic village, marina with 600 fishing boats (Canada’s largest fleet), and shipyards; and learn more at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, a National Historic Site.

If there’s one favorite coastal town everyone raves about, it’s Tofino on Vancouver Island’s wild West Coast. It’s hard to beat the combo of expansive sandy shores (see: Long Beach), strong rip currents for primo wave riding, Tolkien-esque ancient cedar forest dripping in velvety emerald mosses and lichens, the casual upstart style, and bohemian spirit. This popular town is cute, filled with funky food trucks and stained glass artists, and the surrounding Clayoquot Sound environs, untouched and untamed.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Get ready for the Great British Columbia ShakeOut B.C.’s biggest earthquake drill held on Oct. 19

Residents across the TriCities are urged to join in the largest earthquake drill in B.C. Thursday, Oct. 19. At exactly 10:19 a.m., people are encouraged to participate in the Great British Columbia ShakeOut by practicing the drop, cover and hold on earthquake protocol. Organized by the BC Earthquake Alliance Society and ShakeOut BC, the demonstration is a reminder to be prepared in the event of an earthquake. Each year, about 4,000 earthquakes are recorded in Canada — many of these in the seismically active region around B.C. Most are small, but at least nine earthquakes in or near Canada have registered a magnitude of seven or more in the past century. A magnitude six earthquake could do extensive damage to the Tri-Cities. Individuals who are prepared for a major disaster will suffer fewer injuries and less property damage and be better equipped to care for themselves afterwards if they

Visit www.shakeoutbc.ca to register as a participant and download resources (including sound effects to play during the drill and emergency preparation information). Encourage your family, neighbours and colleagues to take part in the drill. How to participate: At 10:19 a.m. on October 19, practice the drop, cover and hold on protocol, which involves the following: • Drop to the ground. • Take cover by getting under a desk or table (or cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building). • Hold on for 60 seconds. During this time, look around and imagine what would happen during an earthquake. What could fall down on you or be damaged? Make note of tasks to conduct after the drill, (e.g. anchor large furniture pieces). • After the drill, practice what you will do after the shaking stops.

$1M donation for Eagle Ridge Hospital Money will expand cardiology department

A $1 million donation from a local family will help expand the cardiology department at Eagle Ridge Hospital in Port Moody. The announcement was made at the recent Evening of Caring Gala, when Sharon

Perry, a local accountant and daughter of Bruce Kehler, who passed away suddenly in April 2017, gave a keynote address about her experiences at Eagle Ridge Hospital when her father was treated. Her mother Georgina and sister Dawn also joined in the announcement. “Eagle Ridge Hospital gave us an extra 8.5 years with the greatest man in our world,” said Perry. “He was selfless

and gave everything to his family and community. As nurses and doctors, you are not thanked enough. My family and I are hoping to demonstrate our thanks and appreciation by honouring my dad’s spirit through a pledge of $1 million to expand the cardiology department at Eagle Ridge Hospital.” The news was greeted with excitement by Eagle

Ridge Hospital Foundation executive director Charlene Giovannetti-King. “We are overjoyed by the generosity of Sharon, the Kehler family and partner businesses, Canex Building Supplies Ltd, Standard Building Supplies Ltd and Country Lumber Ltd.,” said Giovannetti-King, in a press release. “This leadership gift honours Bruce Kehler and

exemplifies his life-long commitment to helping the Tri-Cities and many communities around the world.” The donation is the foundation’s largest in its 35-year history. As well, this year’s Evening of Caring Gala is the foundation’s most successful to date, raising over $1.2 million. newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

The Burquest Jewish Community Association is opening its doors to the TriCities when it launches the first of what is expected to become a regular lecture series next week. The kick-off event is called Terrorism in the 21st Century and will feature speaker Dr. Irwin Cohen, the director of the Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research School of Criminology at the University of the Fraser Valley. Tami King, an outreach co-ordinator with the Burquest Jewish Community Association, said she hoped the lecture would be the first of many and welcomed all residents to the event. “It’s not religious,” she said. “[The lectures] are on anything we think the public would be interested in.” During his presentation, King said Cohen, who has published numerous scholarly

King said that historically, there has not been a large Jewish population in the TriCities. However, as neighbourhoods in Vancouver become more expensive, she noted that many families are moving out to the suburbs and are in search of community connections. “We are just trying to find

programs and connect with these families,” she said. “These kinds of things have been taking place in Vancouver for years, but now there is a need for people that don’t necessarily wasn’t to drive into the city.” The event will take place on Monday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Burquest Jewish Community Association (2860 Dewdney Trunk Rd., Coquitlam). Participation is by donation and light refreshments will be served.

YOUNG AUTHOR

‘Firefighters are my super heroes’ continued from front page

That also happens to be the premise behind Nathan’s book. Nathan, who’s in Grade 6 at Como Lake middle school in Coquitlam, said the idea came to him when he was just threeand-a-half years-old after his family made a donation at a Food Bank Friday event put on during the holiday season by a local television station. A bunch of firefighters and their truck were there and Nathan was so impressed he wanted to include them into his nightly story session with his dad; and it being Christmas, he had to work Santa in as well, he said. “I thought about Santa getting stuck in a chimney.” Every night Nathan and his dad continued to flesh out the story, adding characters like Zippy the head elf and a heroic firefighter named, naturally, Nathan. “Firefighters are my super heroes,” the young author said. By the time they played their story out, Nathan decided it was so awesome it needed to be shared. But, being only three-anda-half, his dad said, “you couldn’t type and your grammar was really bad.”

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Nathan McTaggart and his dad, Keven, read from the children’s book he authored. The story is about Santa’s rescue from a chimney by firefighters. So Keven sat down at the computer and started to put words to their imaginings. It took a while. Then came the search for illustrations to give those words a visual dimension. Neither McTaggart could draw and they couldn’t find a commercial illustrator they were happy with. It turns out the solution was all around Nathan, who was by

now in school — his Grade 3-4 classmates at Harbour View elementary. As part of a class assignment, Keven supplied a manuscript the students could use as inspiration for some preChristmas artwork. The McTaggart’s like the results so much, they decided to end their search for an illustrator. While the book is self-published, Nathan said he didn’t become an author to get rich. Instead he wants to help kids who’ve had their own tooclose-for-comfort brush with first responders by donating proceeds from his book to the BC Professional Firefighter’s Burn Fund. To help get the word out, Nathan has visited fire halls across the region and even while on family holidays in Mexico, New York City and Toronto. As to whether Nathan would someday like to become his own super hero, he’s not so sure. “I’m just afraid of heights and I’m not sure if it will work out,” he said. • To learn more about Santa and His Super Hero, including where it can be purchased, go to www.santaandhisuperhero.ca.

OCEAN ENDEAVOUR

Journey to the top of the world eye-opening for PoMo’s Trachsel DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

FALL / WINTER 2017

A two week voyage into Canada’s high arctic has changed the life of a Port Moody engineer who now plans to spend more of her life talking about climate change and working on a business she hopes will make a difference to the health of the planet. The trip aboard the Ocean Endeavour with the 2017 Students on Ice Expedition taught Amelia Trachsel a lot about how climate change is affecting the polar ice caps and changing the lives of Canada’s northern indigenous people. Along the way, Trachsel came to admire the barren beauty and isolation of the high arctic. “The mountains are in scales that you would never see down here because in the absence of trees the entire geology is just bare before you. You can see the workings of time very clearly, and there is hardly any people,” commented Trachsel in an interview with The Tri-City News. The 15-day trip which began Aug. 8 took Trachsel, teachers and students to the site of the doomed Franklin expedition, several migratory bird sites, indigenous communities, Baffin Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on Greenland noted for producing the most icebergs of all glaciers in Greenland and the Greenland ice cap.

AMELIA TRACHSEL PHOTOS

Amelia Trachsel hikes on the tip of a glacier in Crocker Bay, Devon Island, Nunavut. They also participated in some invigorating hikes and workshops on subjects such as arctic geology, oceanography, ocean biology, indigenous history and arctic sovereignty, including activities led by Trachsel on women in science and engineering. There were some dramatic moments as well, such as when Trachsel saw ice crashing into the fjords of Greenland. It was a jaw-dropping expe-

rience, the former Port Moody city engineer recalls. “The glacier discharges contain more ice per day than New York City drinks in a year,” she said. Although conditions aboard the Ocean Endeavour were somewhat cramped and sleep was hard to achieve with daylight lasting so long into the night, Trachsel said the experience was amazing both for herself and her young charges, whose ages ranged from 14

to 25. The food was also good, much better than Trachsel expected, and better than most trips into the field, where the staple food is dried meals heated up with water. Now that she is home, Trachsel plans on giving talks and slide shows on the trip, likely with other students who went on the expedition. As well, she plans on devoting herself full-time to her software company called C-Change Labs, which helps companies measure their carbon footprints so they can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. “I think when you have the benefit of such a privileged experience and the ability to see and learn things with your own eyes, there’s an incumbent duty to communicate that with people — either that’s about the wonderful people I met in the north and experiencing the foods and traditions or seeing how much the glaciers have retreated and seeing people’s stories about how they can’t rely on sea ice anymore being safe to hunt off of and see how it’s changed in generations,” Trachsel said. With one story, one company and one photo at a time, she hopes to make a difference. Trachsel will be presenting a travelogue at the Port Moody Public Library this Monday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. Call 604-4694577 to reserve a seat. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

FUNDRAISERS

Raising money for local battling brain tumour A pair of fundraisers is available to help a Tri-City man fight cancer. More than two years ago, Jeff Burkholder was diagnosed with a Grade 2 oligodendronglioma brain tumour. He immediately underwent surgery and underwent radiation. But 18 months later, the tumour was back.

He had another surgery earlier this year and will have a third next week. As chemotherapy apparently doesn’t help with this type of tumour, he is using alternative forms of treatment for which his friends and family are raising money. They’ve set up an online crowdfunding account and

have so far raised more than $11,000 toward a goal of $50,000. As well, they’re hosting a fundraiser Nov. 5 at The Arms pub in Port Coquitlam. To learn more about Burkholder’s story, go to youcaring.com and search “Burkholder.” newsroom@tricitynews.com

FRAUD

A new email scam is making the rounds targeting businesses across North America. The Better Business Bureau is warning business owners and consumers that scammers are using the BBB name and logo to fraudulently claim companies are “violating the Fair Labour Standards Act,” the “Safety and Health Act,” and other

ominous sounding notices. The fake emails are designed to get the recipient to click on a link, which may be used to download malware that can infect the recipient’s computer, steal passwords, or hack a company’s records, said the BBB in a press release. “This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this kind of a scam where BBB is used in

Email scam targets businesses

a fraudulent way,” said BBB spokesperson Evan Kelly. “This one is particularly concerning because it’s showing up everywhere and the wording sounds pretty official. We can confirm it’s not coming from BBB. One can easily see the sending email address has nothing to do with BBB. As well, BBB does not deal with health and safety related complaints.”

COQUITLAM

• Canada 150 — Make your Mark: The Coquitlam Public Library is excited to coordinate Coquitlam’s contribution to the Canada 150 Mosaic mural. This nation-wide public art project aims to create mural mosaics using hundreds of tiles, all painted by community members from across Canada. Coquitlam adults, teens, school-aged children (Grades 4 and up) and seniors are invited to paint four-byfour inch tiles that will become part of Coquitlam’s mosaic. Participants will paint aluminum tiles with depictions of their own experiences of living in Coquitlam. Each tile will later be assembled into a large mural grid, magically transforming the paintings into a unified mosaic that celebrates the past and present of industry in Coquitlam. Ten different painting sessions will be held on Oct. 20 and Oct. 21 at the City Centre branch (1169 Pinetree Way). Learn more

A simple vegetarian dish that is packed with deliciousness

egetarian dishes are often loaded with flavour, which might come as a surprise to those who do not adhere to vegetarian diets. In fact, many dishes that originated in India, a country known for its spicy cuisine, are vegetarian dishes that are popular the world over, among vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. For those who want to try something simple, flavourful and vegetarian, the following recipe checks all the boxes.

LENTILS & SPINACH • 3⁄4 cup yellow lentils (toor dal), washed • 3 large handfuls spinach, chopped • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil, divided • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds • 3 dried red chiles • 1⁄4 cup freshly grated coconut • 1 teaspoon tamarind concentrate, diluted in 1⁄4 cup water • 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric • 1 medium onion, sliced • Salt, to taste

1. Put the lentils and 11⁄2 cups of hot water into a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer until the lentils are mushy, about 35 minutes. 2. In the meantime, place the spinach in a pot along with a little hot water and heat it for a couple of minutes. Add it to the lentils. 3. In a separate pan, heat half the oil and fry the coriander seeds until they turn dark, then add the chiles and coconut. Reduce the heat and stir for a couple of minutes. Remove from the

heat, let it cool slightly, then tip it into a blender along with the tamarind and a few tablespoons of water and blend until you get a fine paste. 4. Add this to the lentils, along with the turmeric and the salt. 5. Heat the remaining oil in a small saucepan and fry the onions until golden, then add them to the lentils. Reheat thoroughly and serve hot with rice.

Seniors can give safely S eniors’ eagerness to give makes them prime targets for charity fraud. Giving in retirement while avoiding fraudsters is challenging but seniors who recognize their vulnerability can reduce their risk of falling victim to criminals. • Research before giving: To ensure a donation will be spent in the way it was intended, seniors should thoroughly research organizations before becoming do-

nors. One of the first places to start is Charity Navigator. Charity Navigator has been steering the public in the right direction regarding charities since 2001. Their analysts research thousands of financial documents, rating charities on accountability, transparency and performance, among other criteria. • Don’t feel pressured: High-quality charities do not need to resort to pressure tactics to solicit funds.

Similarly, individuals should not feel put upon to donate because of gifts received in the mail. • Be aware of soundalike charities: Some fraudulent charities like to piggyback on the success of reputable organizations. They may operate under names that sound similar to legitimate charities or create business logos that are nearly identical. People should not be fooled by these tactics.

Furnace tips:

After several months of running the air conditioning, the filter on the heating and THE TRICITIES cooling system may need to be changed. Check the condition of the filter to see if it is heavily soiled. Furnace filters are relatively inexpensive. Since this thin barrier will be responsible for cleaning the air you breathe, it is important to keep a fresh filter in the unit. A clogged, dirty filter will reduce the efficiency of the HVAC system and may contribute to poor indoor air and allergies. Check the air intakes around the house for obstructions. Do not place furniture directly in front of intakes or venting that delivers air to the home as this can compromise air flow and force the unit to work harder.

As a student athlete at Douglas College, Coqutilam’s Quinn Dawson not only has to juggle his duties to the men’s soccer team, he also has to manage time for schoolwork and his part time job at Home Depot. So, he says, the $1,200 he receives each semester to pay tuition for three of his courses goes a long way to helping him focus his attention on school and soccer. The Dr. Charles Best grad says having access to that athletic scholarship money was a “pretty strong factor” in his decision to attend Douglas. MARIO BARTEL THE TRI-CITY NEWS

STUDENT ATHLETES

Scholarships growing at Douglas athletics Scholarships ease pressures for student-athletes MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The total amount of money Douglas College has available for athletic scholarships might cover the cost of a meal program for a year for one football player at a big time U.S. university. But “a little goes a long way,” says the school’s athletics manager, Brian McLennan. Douglas, which has a campus in Coquitlam, recently

hosted its first annual scholarship breakfast to raise awareness of the financial assistance it can extend to student-athetes as well as shake the tree for additional funds. McLennan says being able to help the school’s studentathletes off set expenses like tuition, books and even the “pay-to-play” fees required of some sports can be a tipping point in their decision to attend and compete at Douglas. Robby Toor, the coach of the men’s soccer team at Douglas, sees the pay-off from those scholarship dollars on his pitch every day. If players don’t have to worry about pulling an extra shift at their

part-time job so they can pay for their textbooks, they’re able to commit more of themselves to their athletic and academic endeavours. “They come to practice stress-free and do what they love,” says Toor, who first got involved with Douglas’ soccer program 15 years ago as a player and has been on the sidelines as an assistant and head coach since 2007. Back then, he says, most of the team’s players made their decision on where to attend school based upon where their buddies were going to play. “It wasn’t about getting a scholarship,” he says. But today’s student-athlete

is looking at how their athletic aspirations combine with their whole post-secondary experience, Toor says. “Kids are looking for the right fit.” As the athletic department’s academic coach, as well as the coach of Douglas’ baseball team, Cav Whitely works with the school’s student-athletes to ensure all the pieces of their school experience snap together. He says it’s important for student-athletes to know the school has resources available to support them and help them achieve their goals, in competition and in the classroom. “When athletes come here,

they come here for the sport, but we also have to help them establish a Plan B for what they’re going to do for the rest of their life,” Whitely says. Taking a financial worry off their plate ensures those student-athletes have a little more time and energy to focus on that Plan B by being able to better balance their studies with their athletic and work commitments. And the modest level of that assistance keeps them grounded without the pressure and expectation that often comes with the bigmoney full-ride scholarships dangled by colleges and universities south of the border. “The student-athletes are

treated like they should be treated,” says Whitely. “It allows them to develop in a less pressure-filled system but still benefit from top competition.” It also helps build community, says McLennan. As part of the school’s effort to increase the profile and scope of its scholarship program, the athletic department is reaching out to alumni, connecting players from the past, present and future. “It becomes a calling card for the alumni,” McLennan says. “It’s an engagement opportunity that brings people into our culture.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

BCHL

Express fall to Chiefs MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Pinetree Timberwolves defender Elliot Alef and Riversideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miguel Gil battle for the ball in the first half of their Fraser Valley Boys High School Soccer Association match, Tuesday at Gates Park in Port Coquitlam. Pinetree won the match, 2-1.

Three power play goals by the Chilliwack Chiefs proved to be the difference as the Coquitlam Express lost 4-1 to the visiting Chiefs Wednesday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. In fact, the Chiefs were on their second power play of the game when they opened the scoring 11 minutes into the first period. Coquitlam defenceman Devon Musio was serving a minor for interference when Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Tommy Lee beat Express net minder Reid Cooper. The Chiefs outshot the Express 17-8 in the opening period. Coquitlam found their legs after the intermission. They just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the net, despite holding the edge on shots, 15-13. It took the Chiefs only 17 seconds into the third period to score what proved to be the winning goal when Matt Slick converted a set up by

Adonovski and Will Calverley. William Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goal of the season got the Express right back into the game just two-and-a-half minutes later. But again, a penalty cost them when Calverley put the Chiefs up 3-1 eight minutes into the period as Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Haydn Delorme was serving a double-minor for high sticking. The Express host the Langley Rivermen tonight (Friday), at 7 p.m. .
