Proportional representation is either the universal suffrage issue of the 21st century or a risky venture that will destroy democracy in B.C., according to two views presented Wednesday at a discussion at Douglas College’s Coquitlam campus.

The debate — featuring Antony Hodgson, president of Vote PR BC, and Suzanne Anton, director of the No BC Proportional Representation Society — took place as British Columbians began receiving ballots to vote on whether to change the province’s voting system to proportional representation (PR) from the traditional first past the post system (FPTP).

Sponsored by the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce — although the local business advocacy group has yet to take a position on the referendum question — the debate attracted about 100 people who were either on one side or the other, or who came to learn. see WHICH SIDE, page 7

BIKE TO WORK WEEK

E-bikes change commuting options Popularity of battery-powered pedals on the rise Mario BartEl

The Tri-CiTy News

Chain lube runs through Joey Hobbis’ veins.

But the 21-year-old grandson of Cap Hobbis, who started the family’s bike business in 1932 with a shop in New Westminster, feels no shame in throwing his leg over an electric-assist bicycle to ride to his job at his dad’s bike shop in Port Moody.

In fact, getting a little pedalling help from the lithium-ion battery-powered integrated drive unit has kept Hobbis on two wheels and allows him to tackle the many hills between work and his home in New West in relative comfort despite nagging injuries to his back and knees from old mountain biking accidents.

“It’s still a bicycle,” Hobbis said. “I feel like any other cyclist.”

According to cycling market analysts Persistence, the global market for electricassist bicycles is expected to grow 63% by 2025. And Cycling Industry News says some European bike manufacturers are predicting ebikes will soon comprise 50% of all their production.

Hobbis’ dad, Gord Hobbis,

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Joey Hobbis comes from a family that has been in the bike business since 1932 and he has no shame using an electric-assist bike to commute from his home in New Westminster to his job at Cap’s Bicycles in Port Moody. who runs the Cap’s shop in Port Moody as well as its New Westminster location, said he’s already seeing that shift at

the retail level.

“There’s a lot more acceptance,” Gord Hobbis said.

Motorized bikes were once

the domain of tinkerers and inventors who would find ways to add motors to conventional bikes. But improved tech-

nology, such as long-range rechargeable batteries and lightweight drive units that integrate readily into modern bike frames, is bringing electric-assist bikes into the mainstream, he said.

“As we see one market, like road bikes, taper off, e-bikes are going up,” Gord Hobbis said, adding that almost every major bike manufacturer now offers a range of electric-assist bikes in its lineup.

That’s creating unique challenges for people like Dragana Mitic, the city of Coquitlam’s transportation planner, whose job includes figuring out where to put designated bike routes and how those fit into the regional network of bikeways.

Mitic said as the ease and relative affordability of electricassist bikes brings more people to cycling, she has to take into consideration their variability of speed compared to conventional bikes and how to keep everyone who uses the city’s more than 60 kilometres of bike routes feeling safe.

“There’s definitely room for e-bikes,” said Mitic, who came to Coquitlam three months ago from her former position in North Vancouver.

Gord Hobbis said many of his shop’s customers looking for an electric-assist bike are replacing a car for commuting to work or looking to extend the range they’re able to achieve for recreational riding.

“For the cost of car insur-

ance for a year, you can buy an e-bike to get to work,” Hobbis said, adding a mid-level e-bike runs about $2,000.

While some people may balk at spending that much for a conventional bicycle, he said the sticker shock is a little less jolting when an electric engine is involved.

“If it’s a vehicle replacement, it’s an easy justification,” he said.

More bike commuters — whether on conventional or e-bikes — doesn’t just put pressure on cycling routes, Mitic said. Planners also have to look at issues like bike security to encourage multi-modal transportation in which a bike might be one component of a trip that also includes transit.

TransLink will be adding secure bike parkades at three SkyTrain stations in the TriCities — Lafarge Lake, Moody Centre and Burquitlam — next year, in addition to existing bike lockers.

Joey Hobbis said once he got over the initial novelty of not having to pedal at all — which quickly drained his battery — he learned how to manage the electric assistance of his Cube touring bike to smooth out the many hills on his route while still getting a bit of a workout that doesn’t work up a sweat.

“The pedalling is so smooth,” Hobbis said. “It just allows you to jump on and go.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

City working on cycling infrastructure gaps Goal is to make cycling a viable transit option Mario BartEl

The Tri-CiTy News

Bike to Work week is next week but the cycling advocacy group HUB says there are still significant gaps in Metro Vancouver’s network of cycling routes that can leave cyclists at loose ends of a long ride or feeling unsafe because of poor pavement, absent signage, faded bike lane markings or awkward pathway entrances.

Coquitlam’s transportation manager, Dan Mooney, admits the city has significant gaps in its cycling network.

The biggest one may be United Boulevard, which has become an important conduit

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam’s transportation planner Dragana Mitic said mult-modal corridors that can be used by pedestrians and cyclists are an important component of creating a sustainable, livable community. for cyclists from north of the Fraser River accessing the Fraser Valley via the Port Mann

Bridge.

Mooney said any major work to address the gap will

have to wait until Beedie begins developing the Fraser Mills site, which will include a multi-use pathway along the waterfront that will jog up toward the Bailey bridge and link to New Westminster, which is planning a route of its own along the Fraser River to Pier Park.

In the meantime, Coquitlam will continue to address other areas such as Como Lake Avenue, where a new multiuse pathway is being constructed along Mundy Park, and the network of neighbourhood bikeways is being enhanced to take cyclists off the busy traffic corridor.

Dragana Mitic, Coquitlam’s transportation planner, said the goal is to make cycling a viable transportation option in the city by putting safe bike routes within 400 metres of 70% of the city’s residents.

But with mountains along the city’s northern perimeter and a significant climb to get to neighbourhoods like Burquitlam and central Coquitlam, topography is a challenge.

Mooney said innovative solutions like widening bike lanes on uphill gradients to give cyclists a little room to zigzag their way up steep inclines can help make some of those climbs seem less daunting.

Mooney said traffic counters are regularly deployed to major intersections throughout the city to record vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist traffic to determine the effectiveness of routes, as well as identify areas that could use routes.

Mitic said designing those routes is complicated because she must essentially retrofit them to a suburban road network that was built with only

cars in mind. As well, getting motorists comfortable with sharing roads with cyclists means putting more cyclists on those roads. And getting cyclists on those roads means making them feel safe.

“There’s safety in numbers,” she said. “If motorists see more cyclists, they’re able to better anticipate there will be cyclists.”

• The city of Coquitlam will be hosting two celebration stations during Bike to Work Week, where cyclists can get free drinks and snacks, do some quick repairs and even win prizes. On Oct. 31, from 4 to 6 p.m., there will be a celebration station at Guildford Way and Pinetree Way, and on Nov. 1, there will be a celebration station at Foster Avenue and Poirier Street from 4 to 6 p.m.

PORT MOODY PUBLIC LIBRARY

Port Moody library is plotting its future Mario Bartel The Tri-CiTy News

The results of last Saturday’s civic election in Port Moody may have thrown a wrench into the notion of the city acquiring a new, expanded library as part of a dense, mixed-use development on the old fire hall property, but it hasn’t stopped the library’s director from looking toward a future that will require more space.

“It’s not a matter of do we need a library,” said Marc Saunders, who has been the head of Port Moody Public Library (PMPL) for eight months, after stints in Prince George and Kamloops. “That’s been demonstrated.”

A push to achieve that as part of a possible density bonus with a developer charged to transform the vacant fire hall property and nearby public works yard into an urban community of highrise condo towers, office and commercial space, as well as a public plaza and possible seniors’ housing, was rejected by voters Oct. 20.

In a special non-binding referendum that was part of the city’s civic election ballot, 53% of those who voted said the city shouldn’t sell or lease the properties for private development.

Saunders said the library’s size in relation to the population it serves has been an issue for years. In fact, an audit in

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Marc Saunders, the director of library services at the Port Moody public library visits the stacks. The library will be launching a public survey on Nov. 1 to help it formulate a strategic plan for the next 3-5 years that could include a new facility or even an additional branch.

2016 concluded it was just 43% of the size it needed to be.

And despite an extensive renovation last winter to allow the library to make more efficient use of its 13,000 sq. ft., Saunders said it’s still a squeeze.

“It’s hard to conduct popular programs in such a tight space,” he said as the chorus of a singalong in the children’s sec-

tion filtered through his office wall. “People say it’s too noisy, there’s not enough places to sit.”

Nov. 1, the library will launch an online survey to better gauge the needs and desires of the community as PMPL begins plotting its strategic plan for the next three to five years.

Members of the library board and staff will also be out and

about during the three-week period the survey is being conducted to chat up patrons, hear their concerns first hand and encourage their input.

Saunders said there’s likely to be no shortage of ideas.

Ironically, it may be the library’s small size and central location as part of Port Moody civic complex that has bred

such passion among its users, Saunders said.

“The building is small but it’s promoted a level of intimacy,” he said, adding, “Port Moody library is a real gem.”

Keeping that gem a place residents treasure is an ongoing challenge, especially with changes in technology and the way people acquire and digest

information, Saunders said.

Last winter’s renovation, which cost approximately half a million dollars, added several digital work stations, replaced the old information desk with a digital creation station, and updated carpeting, study areas and the children’s section. Saunders said the library needs to go further to keep up with the community’s ever-evolving needs. He said he envisions things like a studio that enables users to learn how to create their own podcasts as well as initiatives to encourage the city’s entrepreneurial community to experiment with technology and equipment like a 3-D printing station.

“The library plays a critical role by preserving the platform for the community to express different ideas,” Saunders said.

“We have to include and expand the needs that have often been overlooked.”

Saunders said he and the library board are keen to sit down with the new mayor and council as the strategic plan is formulated, likely by early in the new year, to discuss the library’s role and needs in a growing community. That includes how to attain a new facility.

Saunders also won’t rule out the possibility of adding a satellite branch but he said the priority has to be the central branch. mbartel@tricitynews.com

VOTING REFERENDUM

Which side ‘reflects the will of all voters’? continued from front page

For most attendees, though, the presentations were a highlevel debate about two forms of voting in MLAs and an opportunity to get a broad view of what would change under PR and whether the current FPTP system is better. “We believe public policy should reflect the will of all voters,� said Hodgson, who was among the participants in the citizens assembly that recommended proportional representation in 2005.

He said the Canadian Charter guarantees the right to vote but many people are excluded when the MLA they voted for doesn’t get into power. ‘This is fundamentally a civil rights issue. It is the suffrage question of the 21st century,�

Hodgson said.

But Anton warned that under PR, the link between MLA and voters would be lost because parties are voted based on their provincial share of the vote, and while some MLAs would be locally chosen, others would be chosen from lists. “They don’t need to be of your political persuasion to take your concerns to Victoria. Keep that direct relationship between you and the MLA you send to Victoria,� Anton said.

She said proportional representation may have worked in Europe for a while but is now breaking down because larger parties are fragmenting based on issues, and it’s taking months for coalitions to form to run government. “Can you see the BC NDP and the Liberals holding hands?

We have an adversarial system, which is a very good system,�

Anton said, warning that extremist parties could come to power under PR. “We don’t want to invite that into B.C.�

Hodgson said Anton’s claim that PR is only about party politics is a “gross mischaracterization� because under proportional representation, voters would still vote for specific candidates.

The discussion got heated briefly, with both charging

each other with representing partisan interests, a claim each refuted.

Questioners, meanwhile, wanted to know which system would be good for business and the economy, and how voter participation would be affected by a change, among other things Hodgson said the current system “exacerbates tensions in B.C. society,� noting that participation rates typically rise under PR because, under such a system, “every vote will count.� He also said countries under PR do better on economic and social indexes than majority governments elected via FPTP. Anton said the current system ensures stability and economic certainty while PR systems tend to cost more because parties have to make deals to work together.

Meanwhile, voters who are

wondering if they’ll get their referendum package in the mail or what to do with it after during the rotating postal strike can visit the local referendum office at Eagle Ridge Plaza (corner of Guildford and Lansdowne in Coquitlam), which will open Nov. 5. “If you do not have it [your referendum package] by Nov. 10 or 11, come in and pick one up.

You can vote right in the office if you want and we’ll courier it to Victoria,� said Julie Brassington, Election BC district electoral officer.

Ballots being mailed to voters from now until Nov. 2 can be mailed or dropped off but any received in Victoria after 4:30 p.m. Nov. 30, the referendum deadline, will be disqualified. • More information about the referendum is available at elections.bc.ca./referendum.

ROBERT MAZZAROLO lenge Saturday’s results. But the 31-year-old lawyer added that he is doing his due diligence and hasn’t come to any conclusions.

“I don’t believe in doing a recount just to see if I can change the result,” he said. “I would only do a recount if I was aware or made aware of some type of irregularity. At this time, I have not received any indication that that is the case.”

Under the Local Government Act, which regulates municipal elections, Mazzarolo’s options may be limited.

While a nine-vote difference would lead to an automatic recount at the provincial level, the legislation governing mu-

nicipal elections has specific rules for when an application for a judicial recount can be made. According to the act, a candidate must show that votes were tabulated incorrectly or that ballots were not properly rejected or accepted under the terms of the legislation.

The clock is also ticking, with the regulations stating that any official challenge must be made within nine days of general voting day, which would be Oct. 29.

Despite coming up short, Mazzarolo said he was happy with his first political campaign effort and intends to continue working in the community.

“While I was personally disappointed with the result, I was pretty happy overall with my first run at it,” he said. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

With 27 out of 30 polls reporting last Saturday night from the municipal election, Robert Mazzarolo looked like he might be on the verge of locking up a Coquitlam council seat.

But when the final votes were tallied, the first-time candidate was on the outside looking in — nine votes short of the eighth and final spot, which was won by Steve Kim. Wednesday, Mazzarolo told The Tri-City News it had been “an emotional couple of days” but he had no regrets with how he ran his campaign and was grateful for the opportunity to meet voters on their doorsteps over the course of the election.

“Having said that, do I wish I would have hit another 10 more doors on Friday night?” he asked. “I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t say that.”

COQUITLAM CITY COUNCIL

Happy with council, O’Neill calls it quits Gary McKeNNa The Tri-CiTy News

After seven years on Coquitlam city council, Terry O’Neill will attend his final meeting Monday evening.

The retiring councillor said he will miss being at the decision-making table but believes the city is in good hands with the six re-elected incumbents and council newcomers Steve Kim and Trish Mandewo.

“I would have some regret if I thought the city were headed in the wrong direction or if I was unhappy with the composition of the new council,” he told The Tri-City News Wednesday. “But I am over the moon with the new council.”

The 67-year-old O’Neill said he decided not to run for reelection this year because he did not like the idea of working for another four years, noting he had a long career in journalism before taking on his role with the city. (Among other jobs, he was a freelance Face to Face columnist for The Tri-City News for a number of years.)

O’Neill’s tenure may have been short compared to fellow retiring council member Mae Reid, who was with the city for 28 years, but he was present for some significant decisions.

COUN. TERRY O’NEILL The Evergreen Extension was completed during his tenure and O’Neill voted on many of the developments associated with the rapid transit line during a period of unprecedented growth for the city. He said he is also happy with the balanced approach Coquitlam has taken on affordable housing.

O’Neill pointed out that in Coquitlam, every incumbent was re-elected last Saturday and Mayor Richard Stewart retained his office by a huge margin, something that was not seen in places like Burnaby, where protests have occurred over the housing issue.

But his proudest accomplishment was helping to limit the rise of property tax increases for residents, he said.

“My key campaign promise was that I would work to reduce the rate of increases every year,” he said. “And every year we have succeeded in doing that. I played a part in that.”

Without the reading and workload that comes with a council position, O’Neill said he will have more time to spend working with the Talitha Koum Society, a nonprofit that provides housing to women with addictions. He also volunteers with Blooms into Rooms, a group that organizes volunteers to bring flowers and cards to elderly and sick people in the community.

But he did not rule out returning to the city in a volunteer capacity, possibly taking on a role at an advisory committee in a year or two.

For the moment, he is focusing on Monday’s meeting, which he said will be an emotional moment “like graduating from school or something like that.”

“There is some strong feelings associated with it,” he said.

“It has been a tremendous time on council… It was a very rich experience and I am very thankful for the opportunity that Coquitlam gave me.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

PORT MOODY

Tri-City colleagues pay tribute to Clay Mario BarTel The Tri-CiTy News

The mayors of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Anmore were among several speakers who paid tribute to Port Moody’s outgoing mayor Mike Clay at his last council meeting on Tuesday.

Clay was defeated by councillor Rob Vagramov for the city’s top job in last Saturday’s civic election.

Greg Moore, who’s retiring as the mayor of Port Coquitlam, noted Clay’s work at Metro Vancouver’s housing committee and dealing with regional issues like homelessness.

“I think our work at Metro doesn’t get recognized in our own backyard,” he said.

Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart noted he and Clay were first elected to their respective councils in 2005 and since then he’s seen the Tri-Cities’ efforts to work together to resolve common issues.

“We as a region have worked together better than I could have hoped for,” he said.

But he added, jokingly, his gratitude didn’t extend to sharing time with Clay in the close confines of a motorhome. In 2014 and 2015, all three Tri-City

MIKE CLAY mayors travelled together in a motor home to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conventions in Niagara Falls and then Edmonton.

“I will never do that again,” Stewart said.

Anmore Mayor John McEwen also noted the relationship between his community and Port Moody also improved under Clay’s guidance.

Several members of the public took the opportunity to thank Clay, as well as Coun.

Barbara Junker, who was also not reelected on Saturday.

Clay said he wished members of council could hear those kinds of sentiments expressed more often.

“I wish we just didn’t hear complaints,” he said. “It pains me when people criticize us

for things that are out of our control.”

Clay also choked up as he related a story about a young man he first met when he was a city councillor. Clay said the 15 year old told him he wanted to become a police officer and he was working towards that by volunteering on things like community bike patrols. But as he got older, various challenges prevented him from successfully applying for a position on Port Moody’s police department until coaching from Clay as well as chief constable David Fleugel got him over the hump.

“We’re a community that cares about its people,” Clay said, adding he was present at the Justice Institute of B.C. earlier this year when the young man received his badge as a new officer for Port Moody’s police department.

Clay also acknowledged his successor, mayor-elect Vagramov.

“Rob is going to be an exceptional mayor who has different priorities than me,” he said.

The new mayor, new councillors Amy Lubik and Steve Milani, as well as the incumbents, Hunter Madsen, Meghan Lahti and Zoe Royer, will be sworn in Nov. 13

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Fear vs. facts

fear is a better motivator than thoughtful discussion when it comes to voting.

Scary video that seems to show people’s jobs and way of life being threatened, whether true or not, can do a lot to get people to the polls and vote a certain way. for the upcoming mail-in proportional representation (PR) vote, the No campaign appears to be using fear tactics and videos suggesting riots and jackboots marching in unison in its Tv ads arguing that extremist parties are elected through PR. In contrast, fair vote bC argues on its website that while extremist parties do sometimes get elected in small numbers, they are often left out of coalition governments so they have representation but no power. but countering videos of riots and jackboots could be a challenge for fair vote bC, not to mention the group has the additional difficulty of simply explaining how the new voting system could work.

Suffice to say that voters who are interested in the topic have their work cut out for them in sorting fact from fiction.

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

Do you plan to vote in the upcoming proportional representation referenDum?

last week’s question:

Do you support a silver alert system to alert people if someone with Dementia goes missing?

.C.’s electoral referendum has begun, giving british Columbians the opportunity to choose a stronger, more democratic system of electing government.

We care deeply about this referendum because of our decades of work on civic engagement, human rights, environmental justice and equity.

We have seen how our existing system, first past the post LIBBY DAVIES (fPTP), does not serve these fundamental social values. We are speaking out to urge b.C. voters to say loud and clear that it’s time to modernize our electoral system and make it work for people by voting in favour of proportional representation (PR).

We are concerned about the impact of our existing system on voter engagement. Many people who care passionately about creating a better society — grounded in human rights, climate protection and social justice — feel turned off by the current system.

feel our diversity is not reflected in who wins. Many people and communities are excluded by our current system and do not see their interests represented by the major parties.

It is time to change and join the vast majority of democratic countries that have embraced PR. We know proportional representation is a fairer, more transparent and democratic system that actually ensures KATRINA PACEY every voice and vote counts.

Moving to PR would mean voters across the political spectrum would see their votes reflected in election outcomes as the percentage of seats held will reflect the popular vote won. More british Columbians will vote knowing their vote actually counts, improving on the abysmal 50 to 60% turn out we have seen for decades.

PR will increase the diversity of elected representatives, better reflecting our population. More gender, racial and ethnic diversity makes for better governing. for many underrepresented commu-

nities, this will forge a stronger connection to elected representatives. finally, PR will eliminate the scourge of strategic voting. No Have an opinion one wants to vote for a party on a Tri-City News they dislike in order to stop the party they dislike most, as they story? Leave a often do under fPTP. People comment on our want and deserve to vote their values and perspectives. fPTP Facebook page. stifles many critical voices that have important perspectives to bring to the table. voting for proportional representation will bring a positive impact to future elections in british Columbia. It’s a change that gives diverse voices and communities a fighting chance to be heard in the political arena. We think that’s long overdue.

We all count — our votes should, too.

ELECTORAL REFORM REFERENDUM

Weighing in on electoral reform The Editor, It is hardly surprising that the BC Liberals should come out strongly against voting reform, preferring the current first-pastthe-post system that has so favoured them in their power base among the less heavily populated rural and suburban ridings.

What is sometimes overlooked is that for their own internal leadership election, conducted just within this past year, first–past-the-post was not even considered as a viable way for them to choose their own leader. Instead, they used an elaborate system of successive runoff votes in multiple rounds, and a points system that gave more equal weight to each riding, even to the small ones where very few party members were eligible to cast votes.

If first-past-the-post had been used, Mike Lee would have won, receiving the most votes in the first round of voting.

Of course, if that ridiculously outdated and unfair system had been used instead of the more sophisticated one, several candidates would likely have not

even chosen to pay the $60,000 entry fee and would have instead thrown their support behind others.

As we know, the eventual winner after five rounds of voting was Andrew Wilkinson. This is the same person who claims to not understand proportional representation and thinks it is too complicated for the voting public to understand, too.

While we have not all achieved Dr. Wilkinson’s elevated education level

(Wikipedia says, “He is a doctor and a lawyer by profession, and a former Rhodes Scholar”) we are not all stupid, either.

Hypocrisy may be defined as saying one thing, then consciously doing something quite different. A definition of gross hypocrisy might be strongly advocating, promoting and campaigning for one thing, then doing just the opposite.

So which of these definitions better fits the BC Liberal Party in its current electoral

reform stance? Please choose.

Nick Heath, Coquitlam

FPTP & POWER

The Editor, What the anti-electoral reform team doesn’t want you to know about first-past-the-post: • Since 1977, 11 commissions in Canada have recommended proportional representation (PR).

•Of the top 10 OECD nations

by GDP per capita, nine use proportional representation.

Canada is not on that list.

Meanwhile, FPTP...

• gives false majorities, usually on only 40% of the popular vote, distorting the wishes of the majority 60%; • leads to parties catering to their base of 40%; • means 50% of votes are wasted (under PR less than 10% don’t go to electing an MLA); • promotes strategic voting — voting for the lesser of two evils rather than your first choice; • gives huge amounts of power to swing ridings, meaning a small number of voters can have a big effect on who is going to form government; • leads to parties putting most of their time, energy and promises into swing ridings and ignoring voters in safe ridings; • leads to policy lurch, from left to right and right to left, as one government repeals the policies of the previous government, wasting time, money and resources; • means large numbers of voters have no effective voice in Victoria. Under FPTP, your MLA may not be from the party you support.

Daryl Sturdy, Vancouver

ELECTIONs

City’s ad package unfair to newbies The Editor, Re. “Candidate says city mail package was misleading” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 19).

I read with interest Coquitlam council candidate Paul Lambert’s comments about the city mailout package that advertised certain candidates under they guise of raising election awareness.

I agree with Mr. Lambert.

This practice should end.

In effect, it is a pay-toplay scheme that greatly impacts the budgets of firsttime candidates and really does not have a civic purpose. All that needs to be disseminated is a simple list of candidates as they will appear on the ballot, along with dates and locations of polling places.

ELECTION 2018

In Anmore, McEwen wins a second term Incumbent takes 473 votes against challenger Coutts

John McEwen retained his seat as the mayor of Anmore in a relatively quiet election in which the entire village council was acclaimed.

Joining him around the table will be Polly Krier, Timothy Laidler, Kim Trowbridge and Paul Weverink.

Challenger Glen Coutts endeavoured to raise issues around governance but McEwen managed to outpoll the retired BC Hydro manager 473 votes to 348.

In Belcarra, meanwhile, Neil Belenkie took the mayor’s spot, with 199 votes to 170 for longtime village Coun.

Jamie Ross. Colm Cole placed third with 43 votes.

He will be heading a village council that includes Lisa Wilder, Caroline Clark, Robert Begg and Bruce Drake, the

JOHN MCEWEN only incumbent.

STUDENT VOTE

Thousands of School District 43 students filedl out ballots in Student Vote and the results are surprisingly close to what actually happened on election day Saturday.

Through the national program supported by some local cities, students were taught about the electoral process and got a chance to be officials and voters.

In all, 26 SD43 elementary and middle schools participated in voting for school trustees and came up with the following winners: • Coquitlam: Jennifer Blatherwick, Carol Cahoon, Shari O’Neill and Craig Woods; in actual voting, of that group, only O’Neill was left off the winning roster while incumbent Barb Hobson won a trustee job.

• Port Coquitlam: Christine Pollock and Michael Thomas were elected in the Student Vote, which matched Saturday’s election.

• Port Moody: Lisa Park and Shaunda Moore were voted in by students, but in Saturday’s civic vote, both Park and veteran Trustee Keith Watkins retained their seats and Moore did not get in.

CHILDREN Of tHE StREEt

Putting on the dog Avoid costumes that for PoMo Foundation sexualize young girls Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

Remy, Koda and Winnie are all dressed up.

And on Saturday they’ll have someplace to go.

The two peppy toy American Eskimo dogs and the laconic French bulldog will be flaunting their Halloween costumes at Parkside Brewery in Port Moody, where they’ll be joined by other disguised doggies from across the city at the first pooch costume party to benefit the Port Moody Foundation.

The event is being organized by Remy and Koda’s “mom,” Kathryn Turnell, and Winnie’s person, Colin Burt.

Turnell said she has a “whole closet” of costumes for her precious pooches, which

squirm relentlessly as she tries to squeeze Remy’s legs back into the Ewok get-up and Koda puffs its chest in superhero togs.

Burt said he tries to coordinate his own Halloween costume with Winnie’s, so this year they’re both dressed as tacos. Whether Winnie agrees with that choice is unclear, as the dog slinks reservedly along a path at Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park preparing for a photo op.

Burt said while the event is geared for dogs, if someone is bold enough to dress up their pet iguana, they’ll be welcomed to join the fun as well.

“If it identifies as a dog, then anything goes,” he said.

The event will include tricks and, of course, treats donated by various doggy-oriented

kNow The rules arouNd fireworks

Halloween is fun and so are fireworks, but combined they can be dangerous, and that’s why all of Tri-Cities municipalities have rules and regulations for them.

Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam have banned the sale of fireworks within the city. Setting them off in Coquitlam is only allowed with a permit from the fire department, and that’s generally issued only for large public displays by trained individuals. Firecrackers are illegal in Coquitlam.

PoCo allows fireworks to be set off with a permit that is only valid for Oct. 31 until 11 p.m. In addition, anyone handling the fireworks must be at least 18 years old and the fireworks have to be discharged on private property with the owner’s consent. To do it as a public event requires written permission from the fire chief. Roman candles, firecrackers, bottle rockets and screechers are banned. Contravening the regulations could mean a $750 fine.

Fireworks event permits cost $30 and application for them must be made in person at the city hall tax office by 3 p.m. on Oct. 31. For more information, call 604-927-5466 or email fire@portcoquitlam.ca.

Fireworks sales are permitted in Port Moody but only with a licence from the city. Permits to discharge them aren’t required but there are restrictions. Fireworks can only be set off on Oct. 31 and must be done on private property with the occupant’s knowledge and consent. Public events do require written permission from the fire chief. Like PoCo, Port Moody prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from possessing fireworks and it is unlawful to set off firecrackers.

Fireworks safety tips are available on the websites of all three cities (coquitlam.ca/fireworks, portcoquitlam.ca/fire, portmoody.ca).

Coquitlam also warns fireworks and costumes can be terrifying for pets. The city’s animal shelter suggests residents keep pets inside and even in a separate room with a radio or television on to mask the sound of fireworks and trick-ortreaters. Other tips include disconnecting the doorbell, not taking pets trick-or-treating and avoid feeding them candy because it’s unhealthy for them.

merchants like 3 Dog Bakery, Korna Pet Food and Bosley’s, as well as prizes for the best dressed, funniest and cutest dog. There will even be a canine kissing booth.

Funds for the Port Moody Foundation, which promotes building community through the arts, culture, recreation, heritage and social betterment, will be raised through the sale of a new calendar that features 36 of Port Moody’s finest fur babies in seasonal and local settings. The calendar will also be available at local pet-oriented stores.

• The “Howwl-a-ween” costume party for Port Moody dogs goes from noon to 3 p.m. tomorrow at Parkside Brewing, 2731 Murray St.

Costumes that sexualize young girls and popularize the gangster life for boys should be avoided at Halloween because glamorizing such anti-social activities minimizes the pain and suffering of real victims.

That’s the concern of the Coquitlam-based Children of the Street Society, which has been following some high-profile sexual exploitation court cases this year involving teen girls while it also offers prevention education for youth and intervention and support for victims.

“The past year, in particular, has really highlighted the impact that sexual exploita-

tion and sexual assault can have on victims. Wearing Halloween costumes that stereotype or make light of these harmful forms of exploitation only contributes to the problem,” says Diane Sowden, executive director for Children of the Street.

Sexual exploitation and sex trafficking are crimes that annually devastate 300,000 children and youth in North America, according to the organization.

Allowing a young person to dress up as a “pimp” or “ho” glamorizes this crime while victims of sexual exploitation face challenges such as addiction, mental illness, homelessness, poor health and lifelong trauma from physical, emotional and sexual abuse.

The call for more creative costumes that reflect individuality come as a New York Times article reported that 75% of girls 10 to 19 years of age said they felt judged as a sexual object and unsafe as a girl. The same amount of boys felt pressured to be physically strong. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

FALL LEAVES

Extra pickup in Coquitlam The city of Coquitlam will pick up all the piles of leaves and extra yard trimmings residents have built up over the summer and fall at the curb during the next four weeks, but there are some rules to follow.

The unlimited yard trimmings pickup will run from Monday, Oct. 29 to Friday, Nov. 23.

The city asks the leaves, tree clippings and small branches be put in kraft paper bags.

Larger branches should be bundled and less than 7.5 centimetres in diameter (three inches) and no more than

a metre long. Residents can also put them in old garbage cans with a Green Can sticker, which is available from the engineering department at city hall (do not include any food scraps in those cans).

Any city-issued carts, even if they contain only yard trimmings, must not be put out until the morning of collection.

Bundles and containers must not block sidewalks, lanes or streets and can’t weigh any more than 20 kilograms (44 lb.) each. Sod, rocks, soil and plastic bags are not accepted.

The additional yard trim-

mings are collected by a separate truck that will sometimes come around later than the regular Green Cart collection.

But if they aren’t picked up by 7:30 p.m. on collection day, call 604-636-3520.

For more information visit www.coquitlam.ca/yardtrimmings or call Coquitlam’s customer service line at 604927-3500.

The cities of Port Coquitlam and Port Moody ask residents to take their extra yard waste to the Coquitlam transfer station at 1200 United Blvd. newsroom@tricitynews.com

ROYALS SEEK TO REPEAT DAN OLSON

NEW WEST RECORD

Terry Fox Ravens forward Mathew Garofalo, left, goes up for a header against a Centennial defender in the first half of their Fraser Valley Secondary Schools Soccer Commission match, Tuesday at Percy Perry Stadium. Fox won the match, 4-1.

Lukas Nikula scored three goals for Fox, while Yuji Takei netted the other one.

HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER

Ravens hungry for Fraser Valleys Team bonding and fast start recipe for success on the pitch MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Terry Fox Ravens senior boys soccer team may yet be a team of destiny.

But first, they want to control their destiny heading into next week’s Fraser Valley championships.

Prior to a showdown with defending provincial champions, the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils, on Thursday (after The Tri-City News print deadline) the Ravens were top of the table in the Fraser Valley Secondary Schools Soccer

Commission’s north zone, two points ahead of Heritage Woods and three up on Best.

That puts the team in a commanding position to draw a top-four seeding in the regional tournament.

Ravens coach John Murphy said it’s important for his side to enter the Fraser Valley’s from a position of strength because the competition they’ll face will be fierce.

“They’re almost harder than the provincials,” he said of the post-season tournament that brings together the top 16 teams from the FVSSSC. “It’s very cutthroat.”

Last year, the Ravens drew the tournament’s eighth seed despite finishing second in league play.

And while they won their opening round game, an upset elsewhere in the draw threw

them against mighty Charles Best in the second round and, well, that didn’t go so well. Fox finished the tournament with a win as well as a pair of losses and missed advancing to provincials.

Murphy said this year’s incarnation of the team isn’t just a year older, he’s hoping the core group of senior players are also wiser.

Many of them have been playing together at high school since Grade 9, and even longer on their club team, Murphy said. But a pre-season trip to Vancouver Island for an exhibition game against Mt. Douglas may have further solidified their bond, as well as helped create a welcoming environment for new players.

“That goes a long way, above and beyond the soccer content,” Murphy said. “Their

character and their ability to get along is second to none.”

The team had a further opportunity to build some self-confidence when it had to weather the absence of veteran goalkeeper Shayne Grinwis who missed a couple of games early in the season when he backstopped his Coquitlam Metro-Ford team at the U17 national championships in Surrey.

Fortunately, Murphy said, the schedule was on the Ravens’ side as they followed up a 4-4 draw in the season opener against the Heritage Woods Kodiaks in which Grinwis stopped two penalty kicks with ready victories against lesser opponents while he was absent.

Still, he said, Grinwis is a vocal force on the pitch who commands the attention and

respect of his teammates.

“Everyone is extremely confident in him,” he said of his mop-haired goalkeeper. “If you’re going to have success at any level, it starts at the back.”

Moving forward from there, seniors like Jacob York, Christian Barbato, Mateo Morello and Mathew Garofalo have contributed to an offence that had to make up for the loss of the team’s leading scorer the past two seasons, Andrew Peat, who graduated to the University of the Fraser Valley.

Prior to Thursday’s match, the Ravens had scored 30 goals, second only to Heritage Woods’ 37.

Murphy said he can sense his team’s hunger.

“The opportunity is now,” he said. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Already gifted a golden ticket — as hosts of the Canadian national championships — the Douglas College Royals women’s soccer team now faces its final rehearsal.

After posting a middling 5-4-3 record, the defending PacWest champions enter this week’s provincials with a few items on their checklist.

Staying healthy is high on that list.

Douglas secured the second seed entering the three-team tournament, which kicks off Friday at Capilano University with the semifinal against the host club, but have that motivation of a defending champ.

Going in as an underdog is added incentive.

With the regular season behind them and a national berth guaranteed, Royals head coach Chris Laxton says the goal this weekend is to lay the foundation for Nov. 7 to 10 at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park.

“I’d like to see the team play a complete, composed game, and hopefully be in the [provincial] final,” said Laxton, who oversaw the Royals run to the nationals last year. “We want to win it and defend our title, but we don’t have that extra pressure of needing it to advance.”

The Royals finished the regular season last weekend with a 2-0 triumph over the Langara Falcons, breaking a first-half stalemate on Mikayla Hamilton’s sixth of the season seven minutes into the second half. Sofia Flores-Aguilera added some insurance in the 69th minute.

For Hamilton, that was her league-leading sixth tally, but first since Oct. 6.

Picking up her second straight shutout was Alexa Gazzola, who was busy in stopping eight shots. The Falcons applied a lot of pressure, especially in the second half as a win was their see ROYALS, page 32

COLLEGE SOCCER

Royals finding consistency continued from page 31

only way to advance to the provincials.

Douglas’ defence, coupled with a sharp outing by Gazzola, made that improbable.

It followed a similar result two weeks ago, where the Royals blanked Capilano 3-0, on tallies from Mikaela Montagano, Sneha Sandhu and co-captain Sam Kell.

After a blip of inconsistency during September, which saw them post a sub-500 record, the team has strung together a better, more consistent effort.

Giving everyone some starts, to help ease the physical strain and lessen injury opportunities, is hopefully going to pay off, said Laxton.

“That’s been big for us, to give everyone some good playing time,” he said. “We’ve rotated players into the starting lineup and that should pay dividends not only in the coming weeks, but next year as well.”

Captains Taylor Wettig, at midfield, and Kell, at a variety of positions, have set a solid tone heading into the playoff season, the coach added.

“We hope to be in the final and get another PacWest banner. I don’t think we’ve played our best yet.”

Douglas squares off against Capilano on Friday in the semifinal match. A win will put them in the final Saturday against first-place Vancouver Island. All games kick off at noon at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West.

MEN RANKED 2ND

The Douglas Royals men’s team heads into this weekend’s PacWest championship at Burnaby Lake ranked second in the country, but also second in the conference.

That means they’ll have to play third-ranked Langara in Friday’s semifinal to earn a berth against top seed Capilano University in Saturday’s final. The winner of that game will go on to the national championship that will be hosted by Holland College in Charlottetown, P.E.I. Douglas and Capilano finished the regular season tied atop the table with 26 points each, but the Blues attained the bye into the final with a superior goal differential. They outscored their opponents by 22 goals while the Royals scored 15 more than their opponents.

Heritage Woods won the match, 2-0, with both goals coming in the second half. It’s the first district championship for the Port Moody school since 2011.
