PIE IN HER EYE — FOR TERRY
FLU SEASON
Flu fight is on in BC Mixed opinions on high-dose shots DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
for shoplifting and restaurants where washrooms, phones and food are available.
A new high-dose flu vaccine for seniors may not be worth the extra cost, says the BC Centre for Disease Control. BCCDC’s Influenza lead, Danuta Skowronski, said the vaccine is promising in terms of increased protection for people over the age of 65 but not enough to warrant paying eight to 10 times the price. Seniors in B.C. can get a standard dose of the flu vaccine for free but could shell out between $70 and $98, depending on the pharmacy, for the Fluzone high-dose shot. Still, the Tri-Cities Seniors Planning Network is recommending the elderly get the high-dose vaccine, even at the higher cost, because of increased protection, something that is more important for people of advanced age and with health problems.

CRIME & COURTS
PoCo parks worker convicted of sex assault City reviewing employment; crime took place in 1992 JANIS CLEUGH
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam city managers are seeking legal advice after a parks worker was convicted Wednesday of sexual assault. David Murray, who is also a Pitt Meadows city councillor, will be back before provincial court Judge Deirdre Pothecary on Jan. 10, 2018, to fix a date for sentencing.
DAVID MURRAY Last November, Murray was charged with one count of sexual assault and one count
of sexual interference with a person under the age of 14 for an offence alleged to have happened in 1992 at a PoCo business where he was the accuser’s boss. The accuser, who cannot be identified under a court publication order, reported the offence to RCMP in 2015. Dan McLaughlin, communications counsel for the BC Prosecution Service, told The Tri-City News that the sexual interference charge was previously stayed by the Crown but wouldn’t say any more about the case. “As the matter is still before the court, the BC Prosecution
Service will not be commenting further on the circumstances of the offence, the offender or the position it will be taking in any future related proceedings,” he said in an email. Pardeep Purewal, the city of PoCo’s communications manager, said Murray has been on paid leave since Oct. 2. He previously took a temporary leave last December and returned to work in February of this year “and, as a precaution, was assigned to a variety of non-public facing duties at the public works yard (i.e., garbage and recycling cart maintenance, works yard clean up, equipment clean up/
maintenance, vegetation and grounds maintenance) where he continued to work until Oct. 2,” she said in an emailed statement. Purewal said Murray has worked for PoCo’s parks department since 2001. He has also served on the executive committees of the Pitt Meadows Soccer Club and the Ridge Meadows Minor Baseball Association, and has coached high school basketball for more than 30 years, including at PoCo’s Terry Fox secondary school. Kristen Dixon, PoCo’s acting chief administrative officer, said in a statement the municipality
is now “seeking legal advice on our options related to his employment.” Murray was elected to Pitt Meadows council in 2011. Carolyn Baldridge, Pitt Meadows’ communications manager, confirmed the city was aware of the conviction, adding, “We are in the process of gathering more facts and will have more information about what this means for our council in the coming days. Beyond that, I have nothing further to share.” The maximum sentence for sexual assault is 10 years in jail. jcleugh@tricitynews.com
SAFETY ON THE ROAD
They’re big, slow & valuable. Beware Be Truck Aware campaign aims for safer roads DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
T
hose big rigs you see cozying up to the yellow line to make a wide turn aren’t an obstacle to your day but part of B.C.’s $64-million shipping industry and the lifeblood of the economy. Yet for most drivers, monstrous tractor-trailers are a pain to drive behind or next to. Slow to get up hills, moving at slow speeds into highway traffic, lane hogs when they turn a corner — they can be intimidating or irritating. And In a crash with a car or SUV, they can be deadly. But too many passenger vehicle drivers appear to ignore these behemoths of the highway, cutting them off or plugging up their stopping space just to save a few seconds. It’s a hazard of the road, says Greg Reeder, curriculum designer for Valley Driving School, which has a branch in Coquitlam and trains car and truck drivers. “People will just go, ‘That darn truck is in the way again, I’m late for work,’ not realizing everything they need for clothing and food and water and fuel has to be delivered on a daily basis, otherwise their lives would be miserable. “It would be nice if there was a little more thankfulness about the jobs they are doing for people,” said Reeder, who supports
WHAT’S HAPPENING?
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Right: Cindy Brewer of Valley Driving School prepares to head out on the road for a safe driving demonstration with The Tri-City News. She has spent 30 years driving trucks. the Be Truck Aware safe driving campaign. He wishes drivers would be safer around trucks, taking into consideration their need for a long stopping distance, their blind spot in front of the cab and the time it takes for trucks to merge, and recognizing that tractor-trailers need four or five lanes to turn a corner. “The length for stopping in front of a truck is the length of a football field — and that is if they’re fully paying attention and the roads are dry,” Reeder says. Cindy Brewer, an instructor resource manager at Valley Driving who trains Class 1
Welc ome
driving instructors, has seen plenty of risky behaviour in her 30 years behind the wheel but believes it’s just lack of attentiveness rather than malevolence. For example, on a tour of local truck routes with The Tri-City News, a black Honda civic cut her off when the driver turned into her lane from a side street — he didn’t even look back to see what was coming. Consequently, she has to be hyper aware at all times. “I’m driving for everyone else,” she says, changing gears to get the semi up a hill. Brewer, who met her husband on the road— she was
hauling mushrooms and he crab when they met for coffee at a rest stop — says long-haul trucking is not for everyone. Flexibility and patience are key. She also sympathizes with car drivers who don’t understand the space requirements of 70-foot-long trucks and the challenges of towing a fully loaded container up a hill. Powering the 2013 Kenworth tractor-trailer through the Braid Street connector on the Coquitlam border — virtual chaos in mid-day traffic — through to the narrow Front Street truck route in New Westminster, to Lougheed
Be Truck Aware, Oct. 17 to 31, is a campaign of education and enforcement aimed at reducing car-truck crashes. Passenger vehicle drivers are urged to: • Leave space: Large trucks need extra room to stop and to turn. Don’t take away their turning or braking room. • Don’t merge too soon: When passing a truck, make sure you can see both its headlights in your rear-view mirror before merging back into the lane. If you merge too soon, the truck driver may not see you. • Be visible around trucks: Either slow down or move well ahead of large trucks to stay out of the driver’s blind spots. • Anticipate wide turns: Watch for trucks making wide swings to turn right. Never drive ahead in the right lane beside a turning truck. Highway in Coquitlam, where deadly accidents have occurred near Riverview, Brewer is calm under pressure. You can see her thinking through every move, such as when turning right, she first signals to get into the left lane, then signals right to make a wide sweep for the turn, requiring four lanes in all, a standard move
that would be a white-knuckle manoeuvre for most passenger vehicle pilots. Then she just keeps on going. “Our goal,” she says, “is to keep rolling.” Hopefully, with a little more attention to their driving, car and truck operators on B.C. roads will do the same. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

FLU SEASON
Shot cost a concern continued from front page
“When you put out $70 to $80 and compare that to the inconvenience of being [sick] in hospital and extra costs and all that, we want to keep people healthy and out of the hospital,” said Ken Kuhn, a retired teacher who is with the network of seniors, caregivers and seniors’ support groups. He said his group voted in support of the high-dose vaccine and recently held an information seminar. The network would like to see more doctors carry it vaccine as an option, even though seniors have to pay for it. The issue arises as flu season approaches. Last year, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) said the Fluzone high-dose influenza vaccine provided “superior protection” compared with the standard dose but, according to Fraser Health, did not recommend it over the standard dose. In its report, NACI said in a trial, people 65 years and older who received the high-dose were 18 to 24% less likely to get the flu. There were, however, higher rates of post-injection reaction, although they were short lived. The BCCDC’s Skowronski noted the trial was over just a single flu season and the rate of protection amounted to about 50% protection against the disease compared to 40% that year for a standard flu shot. “Is it worthwhile to pay four
DR. DANUTA SKOWRONSKI to eight times the price for that relative improvement in protection, which translates into — depending on what you’re starting at — to modest improvement? Some people might feel it’s worthwhile,” she said. Some seniors may be able to afford the higher cost of the high-dose vaccine but Skowronski said B.C.’s communicable disease policy committee couldn’t justify spending an additional $15 million to provide it for free to seniors given. “When NACI indicated that there is good evidence that highdose gives superior protection to the standard vaccine, they don’t take into consideration the cost. We live in the real world. If we invest here, we don’t invest there. Is that worth while?” she said. “It’s a big switch and for us to do that we would need much clearer evidence of benefit over the standard-dose vaccine.” She admitted that the protec-
tion rates for standard flu shots for strains such as H3N2 are “not where we would like it to be,” especially given the rate of hospitalization for those who catch it. Fraser Health is recommending people get their flu shot now, before flu season gets underway in earnest, and free shots are available for children, pregnant women, people 65 years and older, those with medical conditions and their caregivers a swell as people providing community health services. Dr. Aamir Bharmal, medical health officer for Fraser Health, said it’s important for people to get annual flu shots to maintain their immunity and to get protection for flu strains that vary each year. While it’s too early to say whether this year’s flu shots will closely match this year’s strains — B.C. is closely watching Australia where flu season is particularly bad, with H3N2 being the major culprit — a flu shot will provide some protection. This year’s shot provides protection for up to four viruses, depending on the vaccine. “The flu shot is something that’s safe, it’s effective,” Bharmal said. “People should get it and be protected for the flu season and what might be coming.” • For information, visit www. fraserhealth.ca. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

PORT MOODY
Parking, towers part of Moody Centre plan MARIO BARTEL The Tri-CiTy News
An amendment to Port Moody’s official community plan that would turn the neighbourhood around the Moody Centre SkyTrain station into a high-density, transit-oriented development area will go to a public hearing on Nov. 28. But the plan — which could bring more than 3,000 residents to the area, living in a mix of developments from six to 26-storeys, as well as commercial buildings — will be tempered by a requirement that residential
developments include “a component” of rental units as well as a provision to provide “substantial” park-and-ride spaces to improve the access to transit for residents of other parts of Port Moody. If council approves the OCP amendment, changes to zoning would allow the construction of condo towers up to 26 storeys immediately adjacent to the Moody Centre Evergreen Extension station, with projects up to six storeys on the perimeters of the area,which is bounded by St. Johns Street and the train tracks, and from
Moody to Spring streets. Current zoning allows for a maximum of 12 storeys. There would also be a new pedestrian and cycling overpass to connect the neighbourhood to Murray Street and Rocky Point Park, and a new greenway along a daylighted Dallas/ Slaughterhouse creek. As well, Spring Street would be extended to create a pedestrian promenade and mid-block pedestrian walkways and plazas would be built. The city would also encourage opportunities for public art, the construction of child care facilities, play areas

and amenities for seniors. While Coun. Rob Vagramov said he was “disappointed to see more than double-the-height maximums” in Moody Centre, his motion to include a provision for substantial park-and ride spaces for the use of Port Moody residents was endorsed by a majority of councillors. He said that will at least spread the benefits of some of amenities to the rest of the city. Coun. Diana Dilworth cautioned that could end up changing the transit-oriented development area into “a giant parking lot for the rest of Port Moody.”
Coun. Meghan Lahti suggested the city also needed some assurance any new developments proposed for the transit-oriented development area include a component of rental housing. “This is the ideal place to put this type of housing,” she said. But Coun. Zoe Royer said such a provision would force every developer “to get into the landlord business,” something they might not be inclined to do. “I would love to see we’re encouraging it but I don’t know if this is the way,” Royer said. Coun. Barbara Junker sug-
gested a requirement for some rental housing doesn’t go far enough; she wants it to specify that housing be “affordable.” Coun. Hunter Madsen also suggested the provision is too vague and should specify that 20% of new development be set aside for rental. And while Madsen’s motion to attach a specific percentage to a rental requirement was defeated, Mayor Mike Clay said including a general requirement means if any developer wants to skirt that requirement “they’ll have to buy their way out.” mbartel@tricitynews.com

HOMELESSNESS IN THE TRI-CITIES
Biz concerns about theft and needles continued from front page
He also noted that several businesses said their customers had been exposed to panhandling, loitering and other “anti-social behaviours.” But Burpee told Coquitlam city council Monday that it was difficult to determine whether some of the issues were directly associated with the shelter. “The impacts of homelessness in the Tri-Cities go far beyond what we can expect [shelter operator] RainCity to resolve,” he said in an email to The Tri-City News. “Homelessness is a feature of the Tri-Cities, with or without a 3030 Gordon shelter, and only a broad partnership and goodwill is going to be effective in addressing it.” He added that neighbours are often unable to distinguish between people who are actually staying at the shelter and those who may just be hanging around in the area. Burpee said that RainCity had received consistently “high marks for responsiveness to neighbour concerns when contacted.”
THE BUSINESSES
John Sinkie, a mechanic who has run an auto repair shop in the area since 1991, said the 37% figure cited by Burpee seems low. Many of the business owners in the area with whom he has spoken have complained about issues emanating from the shelter, ranging from people loitering in front of store fronts to finding needles and trash on their property, he said. But Sinkie acknowledged the city has been responsive to his complaints, and while he wouldn’t say things are getting better, they have not gotten worse. Sinkie said he decided early on in the process that he would get involved. Currently, he sits on a committee that comprises area business owners and shelter representatives, and said he has taken the time to speak with some of the people who use the facility. There have been some improvements since the shelter opened in December 2015, Sinkie added. Initially, for example, he said finding needles was a regular occurrence but that has been better since RainCity initiated daily garbage pickups in the area. Still, he said he would like to see a security guard posted at 3030 Gordon to keep an eye on the neighbourhood and protect people inside the shelter. And with the weather changing, he expects more people will be in the area, particularly since the facility is considering using BC Housing money to turn its extreme-weather emergency dorm into daily-use shelter space from late fall to early spring. “In the winter, it gets very busy around here,” Sinkie said. “That does concern me.” Chris McNaught, an employee at a bike shop in the area, told The Tri-City News there have been instances of shoplifting in the store but it’s difficult to

He added that while he does not personally have an issue with the facility, many of the customers he deals with do. “People get their bike stolen and they blame the shelter,” he said. “But it’s Vancouver — you’re going to get your bike stolen anywhere.”
Comfort Never Felt So Good
THE POLICE
Coquitlam RCMP Const. Michael McLaughlin said police have been monitoring crime statistics in the area since 3030 Gordon opened and have not seen a trend “either upward or downward.” He added that officers have been in close contact with the shelter operators over the last two years, which has made it easier to resolve issues before they become a problem for the community. McLaughlin encouraged people in the area to report all suspicious activities and call 911 if they see a crime in progress. Even non-emergencies should be reported by calling 604-9451550. “We are here to help,” he said. “We can’t respond unless people tell us what is going on.” Thirty-nine businesses participated in the task group’s survey, with the majority located along Gordon Avenue, Christmas Way and both sides of Westwood Street one block north and one block south of the shelter. Seven businesses were not included either because they were not open or there were language barriers with the staff. Some of the issues that have arisen in the neighbourhood Burpee attributes to the growth of overall homelessness in the Tri-Cities and the Metro Vancouver region. In his presentation, he said the public disorder can generally be traced to untreated mental health issues or people sourcing cash to feed a drug or alcohol addiction. “Homelessness has been increasing since 2013 and continues to go up,” Burpee said. “I think that along with the increase in the homeless population in the Tri-Cities and elsewhere has really made a big difference in the behaviours on the street.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

COQUITLAM
$200k more from city GARY MCKENNA
EXTRA YARD WASTE PICKUP BEGINS
The Tri-CiTy News
A rapid rise in real estate values means the city of Coquitlam will contribute more than planned to an affordable housing project council approved last year. In April 2016, city councillors voted to commit $600,000 to the Talitha Koum Society to cover half the cost of the purchase of a home and renovations for a transitional housing program. But in a report to council Monday, city staff requested an additional $200,000 to cover a shortfall created by increases in real estate values between the approval of the funds and the purchase of the home in July. “As anticipated given the rapidly appreciating housing market between April 2016 when funds were approved and now, this does not leave enough funds to complete the renovation within the original budget,” staff said in a report. The shortfall is approximately $148,000 for the renovations while the additional $52,000 is needed for project management, legal costs and to provide a contingency. The money will come from the city’s Affordable Housing Reserve Fund, which currently has a balance of $9.1 million, said the staff report. While council unanimously supported dispersing the additional funds (Coun. Terry
Coquitlam residents swamped with leaves and fall yard trimmings — and who get city trash pickup — are being offered unlimited green waste collection for four weeks starting next week. Between Oct. 30 and Nov. 24, people with city collection can put out additional refuse, provided they are kept in kraft paper bags or in old garbage containers with a green can sticker. Bundles of branches can also be left out but individual pieces must be less than 7.5 cm in diameter and no more than 1 m long. While the additional waste can be put on the curb ahead of collection day, it cannot contain food scraps, which can attract bears and other animals. Coquitlam’s seasonal unlimited yard trimmings program runs twice a year, in the spring and in the fall. For more information, visit www.coquitlam.ca/yardtrimmings or call 604-927-3500. O’Neill recused himself from the vote because his wife is a member of the Talitha Koum Society), some said they were disappointed in the original cost estimates. Others at the council table also questioned $300,000 renovation price tag. “It seems like an incredibly extensive renovation,” said Coun. Dennis Marsden. “I want to support it. It’s just my fear is when I saw a number like that is someone saw, ‘Oh, look, the city’s involved, let’s increase what we would normally charge.’” As part of the housing agreement, Talitha Koum will contribute $600,000 to the home acquisition and renovation. When the building is ready,
it will be shared by up to nine people. When the city first announced the initiative, Mary Boucher, Talitha Koum’s president, said the home would support women and children in need. “Some are homeless, some have been in different facilities or treatment centres,” she said at the time. “They are all looking for spiritual healing.” Talitha Koum has operated in the Lower Mainland for 17 years and already runs a similar transitional housing facility in southwest Coquitlam as well as rental properties in Burnaby and Vancouver. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
HS curriculum delay DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
The new Grade 11 and 12 curriculum has been delayed a year — until the 2019/2020 school year — giving high school students and teachers more time to get prepared. And making sure high school course changes still meet postsecondary entrance requirements is behind the deferral. That’s the conclusion drawn by both educators and administrators at School District 43 who are reviewing the Ministry of Education’s latest pronouncement. “Teachers identified this problem right out of the gate. We definitely identified that this would be the single biggest problem with the revised curriculum, to make sure the grad requirements fit with the needs of the post-secondary institutions,� said Ken Christensen, president of the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association. He said Tri-City public school teachers had been in the midst of preparing for the changes to take place next September but will now be able to put off implementation for another year, resulting in relief for some and disappointment for others. The new Grade 10 curriculum, however, will be effective after the current school year. Delaying the Grade 11 and 12 curriculum will provide time to make changes necessary
ADDITIONAL CURBSIDE COLLECTION FOR FALL LEAVES
GREAT GRAD EXPECTATIONS The curriculum rollout effectively creates three paths to graduation depending on what grade the student is currently in. According to the provincial government website (curriculum. gov.bc.ca/graduation-info), For students who are in the following grades this school year, the expectations are as follows: • Grade 10 students will follow the new 2018 Graduation Program requirements and take Planning 10 and write an Language Arts 12 provincial exam before graduation. • Grade 11 students will follow the 2018 requirements and take Planning 10, write the numeracy assessment before graduation and write an LA12 provincial exam before graduation. • Grade 12 students will finish all the 2004 Graduation Program requirements; have completed a Math 10, a Language Arts 10, a Science 10 and have written associated provincial exams. As well, they must take a Language Arts 12 course and write the associated provincial exam. Students graduating in this school year will not need to write the numeracy assessment as it is not a graduation requirement for their graduation program (they took the Math 10 provincial exam).  to ensure students aren’t at a disadvantage when they apply for college, university or other programs in B.C. or elsewhere, Christensen said. He explained that the new curriculum for high school students will stress mastery of core competencies, such as critical thinking, with flexibility in subject areas depending on student interest, as is the case in kindergarten to Grade 9 classes. For example, the Social Studies 11 curriculum is being taken apart so students can choose the path that interests them the most. Instead of a huge survey course, students will study smaller sections, worth two credits apiece.
Similar changes are planned for the Language Arts curriculum. “How do you schedule that and how do you plan for that?� said Christensen, noting that teachers are in the midst of redesigning their courses. Grade 10 students will use the revised curriculum starting in September 2018, SD43 superintendent Patricia Gartland told trustees at Tuesday’s board of education meeting. She noted that the new numeracy assessment will be in place for students to take in January, as well as June and subsequent years, while the literacy assessment won’t be available until 2020.
MONDAY, OCT. 30 – FRIDAY, NOV. 24 As fall yard clean up gets underway, the City is offering additional, unlimited curbside collection* for fallen leaves and other yard trimmings. >
Place yard trimmings – like leaves, prunings and small branches – in kraft paper bags.
>
Bundle branches. (Bundled branches must be less than 7.5 cm (3 in.) in diameter and no more than 1 m (3 ft.) in length.)
>
Use old garbage cans with a Green Can sticker.
Food scraps should remain in the City-issued Green Cart. * This service is for single-family homes that pay garbage fees to the City of Coquitlam. Additional yard trimmings will only be collected on your regular collection day.

OUR OPINION
INGRID RICE
These are family values Thanks to a Chilliwack school trustee, people are talking about the new SOGI 123 curriculum that has been developed for schools to backstop anti-discrimination policies that are now on the books to mirror the Human Rights Code of B.C. Now that the code of conduct in SD43 school planners includes gender identity and expression to a list of things that must not be discriminated against, it makes sense to educate students about LGBTQ issues and proper terminology. Schools haven’t been mandated to use SOGI in the classroom; instead, according to a website that supports its introduction, they are being encouraged to join a network of districts using the materials. Coquitlam is one of several Metro Vancouver districts in conversation about the curriculum and some districts appear to be further along on this than others. In light of concerns about bullying and general meanness on social networks, as well as increasing anxiety among youth, anything that can make schools more inclusive is a good thing. What we don’t need is fear-mongering — especially from politicians — that efforts to be inclusive are against family values. In fact, the opposite is true.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Transpo. plans buckle under weight of politics W hen it comes to the future of transportation in Metro Vancouver, one can be forgiven for feeling a sense of gloom. As traffic gets worse and transit infrastructure struggles to meet growing demand, parochial politics seem to pervade every decision. In recent months, the bridge tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges were removed and highway traffic has surged; ride-hailing serMIKE KLASSEN vices like Uber have been put on indefinite hold and the pause button was pushed on a replacement for the George Massey tunnel. At the nexus of the region’s transportation dysfunction is the Mayors’ Council — a roundtable of mayors from the tiny hamlets of Bowen Island, Anmore, and Lion’s Bay alongside the cities of Coquitlam, Surrey and Vancouver. The Mayors’ Council has been promoting a “10-year plan” for regional transportation that still is not fully funded despite increased commitments by the federal and provincial governments. The council is calling for a share of B.C.’s carbon tax revenue to NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

make up the gap. The plan features a replacement of the Pattullo Bridge, an extension of the SkyTrain Millennium Line down the Broadway corridor in Vancouver, and a light-rail network in Surrey. Of the three, the project that seems the most politically driven (thanks to the support of the Mayors’ Council) is Surrey’s $2.6-billion LRT plan to place at-grade rail down on existing roadways. In response, a Surrey activist group opposed to the LRT plan, SkyTrain for Surrey” (skytrainforsurrey.org), is championing another way to spend those billions. The group proposes a bus rapid transit (BRT) system for the city while extending the SkyTrain route to Langley. BRT is shown to successfully integrate into existing transit systems at a much lower cost. When I reached out to experts who were familiar with the plan and the politics around the Surrey LRT project, not one of them could support it. At the most recent meeting of the Mayors’ Council, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan was more publicly skeptical of the 10-year plan. Although he has been a thorn in the side of the provincial government and TransLink on several occasions, he speaks with authority on the economics of major developments. During the meeting, Corrigan cautioned his fellow mayors on their plan for doing a bridge and two rapid transit extensions simultaneously,
asserting it “flies in the face of Keynesian economics” to add major projects in an already superheated construction economy. “I don’t believe that this organization [TransLink] even for a moment could ramp up and handle three projects that would probably tax the resources of the provincial government,” said Corrigan, adding there had not been any meaningful conversation at the Mayors’ Council on the implications of the proposal. “What’s driving this is not good planning, it’s good politics,” he continued. “It’s the idea that Vancouver can’t be ahead of Surrey and Surrey can’t be ahead of Vancouver… All of these politics are driving us to expend far more of the public’s money than we should. “I want to lay that out because I don’t want to, as a politician, not have raised those issues. You need to stop and think about what you’re undertaking before you go down a path that’s going to leave a legacy for future politicians that’s unsustainable.” The reaction from the Mayors’ Council? Members’ silence spoke volumes.

THE ENVIRONMENT
Let’s fund transportation work with a tax on fuels The Editor, We need new bridges and roads. We need to maintain them. We need to tax the residents of this region and all that pass through here to accomplish these goals. It should be without any doubt that improving our air shed, lands and waterways is an important component of this decision. We don’t need any form of tolls to do so. The solution is so obvious: taxes on fuels. It hasn’t been done out of fear of voters backlash. I call on our government to be brave and finally address this matter. There is other issues that are part of this that also should be addressed. Since AirCare was closed, more and more vehicles are driving around polluting our air shed as their motors are worn out, not tuned up, etc .All vehicles over 10 years of age should be tested again. Cars, boats and motorcycles should

Thousands of people with little regard for our environment are buying large vehicles
that use huge amounts of fuel to travel around. A carbon levy on these personal — not commercial — vehicles should be imposed to help keep our

Congestion is on the way in PoMo The Editor, Re. “Development and density” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Oct. 20) and “Higher densities for some parts of PoMo” (Oct. 13). Port Moody’s official community plan was devised when council knew the Evergreen Extension was coming to town. Now, city council has ap-
proved more density. Why? The result: a traffic nightmare as road congestion brings everything to a halt. Just wait and see. There will be plenty of rat running as drivers try to avoid St. Johns Street. Council seems to have no interest in what makes for a livable community, although I hope I am wrong.

Rock on in Port Moody JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News
There have been a variety of Canada 150 celebrations in the Tri-Cities involving visual arts, entertainment, even fireworks. And, now, rocks. Port Moody Rock and Gem Club, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, also marks the country’s special birthday this weekend with a Canada 150 exhibit at its annual rock and gem show at Kyle Centre. Club president Andrew Danneffel has been working on gathering the specimens for the show for the past 18 months, contacting mining companies, museums and private collectors with requests to send stones from across the country. “We wanted to do something special for Canada 150,” Danneffel said, noting the club received funding from the Canadian Geological Foundation. “We wanted to tell a story of Canada’s history through rocks.” Among the 150 rocks and gemstones he received on loan — and which will be displayed under glass — include a Canadian specimen dug up at the home of Henry VII’s Manor House in Dartford, England. The story behind it is this: In 1576, privateer Martin Frobisher discovered what he thought was gold ore, on Baffin Island, and shipped 1,550 tons of it back to the U.K. The rock

Danneffel also obtained kimberlite from the Jericho Diamond Mine in Nunavut; cassiterite from the East Kemptville Tin Mine in Nova Scotia; and halite from the Sifto Salt Mine in Goderich, Ont., among others. But there are also finds closer to home that will be on show such as a First Nations bowl and hand grinder, believed to have originated from along the Fraser River hundreds of years ago. Besides those items, there
will be plenty for visitors of all ages. As well, Port Moody’s Pacific Coast Terminals is contributing by providing 150 starter kits for kids. The club has included 10 Canadian rock samples such as sulphur — which is loaded on to ships at PCT — petrified wood and ammonites in the limited-edition kits (cost is $5 each). • 150 Rocks — Celebrating Canada Through our Rocks and Minerals is on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Kyle Centre (150 Kyle St., Port Moody).

Coq. man hopes for clear path to glass glory MARIO BARTEL The Tri-CiTy News
Adam Hill isn’t likely to crack under the pressure of competition. That’s because the Coquitlam glass guy’s drive to be recognized as the best windshield repair and replacement technician in Canada — maybe even the world — is personal. Two years ago, Hill, who works at Speedy Glass on the Barnet Highway, didn’t even make the cut of the first round of the biannual competition put on by the shop’s Montrealbased parent company, Belron International, to recognize the “best windshield installer in the world.” Moreover, Hill had trained the technician, Ryan Cox, who won that year’s Canadian championship and went on to finish second at the world championship in Lisbon, Portugal.
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Adam Hill, a windshield technician at Speedy Glass in Coquitlam, took part in a competition yesterday (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline) to find the company’s best repairer and installer in B.C. Now, “I want to see how I measure up against him,” Hill, 30, said of his protege. Hill, who has been installing windshields for 10 years, has al-

ready passed the first step of his quest, a gruelling evaluation of the 140 steps a technician is required to follow when replacing or repairing a car’s windshield.
Those checklist items include everything from the function of specialty tools to the proper order of tasks required to safe techniques for hoisting a 30-lb.
windshield into place. Yesterday, Hill was to put his theoretical knowledge to the test against three other regional finalists from around British Columbia who would each have 65 minutes to replace a damaged windshield, including cleaning the vehicle to make it presentable to the owner. And they were to do it under the careful gaze of a panel of judges evaluating their ability to follow those 140 steps as well as the watchful eyes of fellow technicians and managers. The winner will go on to compete against four other regional champions at the Canadian championship in Montreal in January. The winner of that goes to the 2018 world championship to be held in Frankfurt, Germany next June. Hill said he welcomes the pressure, noting, “I’m pretty good at focussing on what I’m doing.” To prepare for Thursday’s
practical showdown in Langley, Hill studied the company’s technical handbooks in his spare time and ensured his adherence to proper procedures while repairing and replacing customers’ windshields in the shop. He also had his bosses conduct mock evaluations. He’s confident he has the right stuff to go all the way. Hill said his five years’ experience on the road, working solo as a mobile technician, have given him the fortitude and adaptability to cope with any problems the competition might throw his way. “In the shop, you can get help,” Hill said. “But when you’re out on your own, you have to manage the stress.” A lot is at stake besides Hill’s pride. Not only would competitive success open up new opportunities for his career, he said, the world champion also earns a year’s worth of salary. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartel

SHOPPING & EATING
Cold weather? Time for warm fall food MARKET FRESH
KAREN CURTIS
T
here is more to fall food than squash and kale. Even though the variety at the market is lessening, there is still so much to choose from. I chatted with Chris of Ripple Creek Organics, which will continue to bring fresh salad greens, including lettuce heads, for the next while as well as broccoli and leeks. Why not bake a light broccoli leek quiche for lunch one day? My quiche cheat is to line a pie plate with a tortilla shell — that makes a great thin crust. Simply sauté a cup of chopped broccoli, a thinly sliced leek in a bit of olive oil, place it in the bottom of the tortilla lined pie plate, top with some grated cheese from Cheesecrafters and pour a mixture of four Rockweld eggs blended with half a cup of half-and-half on top. Season with salt, pepper and some freshly grated nutmeg, then pop in a 350 F oven for about 40 minutes. Easy. Serve it with some of the
salad greens topped with microgreens from Nutrigreens (who are hoping to come to market all winter) and some shredded Forstbauer carrots for a burst of colour, and you have a great lunch or light supper. Let’s have a look at who else will continue to bring freshness to the winter markets. Don’t forget that beginning Nov. 5, the market moves to the Port Moody recreation complex. Never Say Die will be there with their perfect garlic. Grab a bag to keep in a cool, dark place so you can enjoy it for the months ahead. From Beds to Bowls will be back too, bringing squash, onions, leeks, cabbages and radishes. All their crops are grown outside under row cover, so they will join us at Port Moody as long as the weather doesn’t get too cold. While not organic, Beds to Bowls do not use any sprays on their crops. Mandair Farms will be anchoring the west corner and Jas will have an eclectic mix of food with her: frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries and raspberries) cabbage and kale, and, of course, her famous pakoras. We are excited to welcome two new vendors to the market. Central Park Farms will be bringing chicken, pork and beef, all pasture-raised. That means that all Kendall’s animals have 24/7 access to the great outdoors, along with
other things that encourage natural behaviours for the animals. Wheelhouse Seafood is coming, too. Trevor and Katherine have a combined fisher and restaurant heritage, which makes for some pretty tasty products. Along with local, sustainable seafood, they will be bringing crab, lobster and prawn cakes, seafood chowder and seafood pasta to share. I can tell you the crab cakes are amazing. I’m running out of room so I will leave the rest of the vendor highlights for next month. Make sure you stop by the Coquitlam market Sunday at Dogwood Pavilion for our last market of the season. Bring the little ones for trick or treating and the costume parade, and enjoy the vendor costumes as well The Port Moody market opens Nov. 5 and the first workshop will be Nov. 26. Get the lowdown on soil from master gardener Lori Greyell. Learn about what to look for in your backyard garden, or in a pot, and how and when to amend for spring. Participants will do a soil analysis in the workshop and learn how to do it themselves at home. Karen Curtis is the Lemonade Lady (kicslemonade.ca and kicslemonade.blogspot.ca) at the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam farmers markets. Her column runs monthly.
A TASTY FALL RECIPE CHICKEN & SWEET POTATO SKILLET
Adapted from primaverakitchen.com 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 lb. extra-lean ground chicken 1 tsp garlic clove, minced ½ cup onions, diced ½ cup yellow pepper, diced 1 ½ cup sweet potato, diced salt and freshly ground black pepper pinch of red chili flakes ½ cup shredded havarti fresh parsley for garnishing DIRECTIONS: In a cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add ground chicken and garlic. Use a wood spoon to break up the chicken while it cooks. Stir occasionally and cook for about 7 minutes. Add onions and yellow peppers and cook until onions are gold brown. Add the sweet potato, chili pepper, salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook until they are tender. Don’t forget to stir occasionally. If necessary, add more olive oil or a little bit of water to cook the sweet potato faster. While the sweet potato is cooking, pre-heat the oven to 400 F. When the sweet potato is tender, add shredded mozzarella cheese, and put the skillet in the oven to melt the cheese (alternately, you can just put the lid on the skillet for 5 minutes and the cheese will melt). When the cheese melts, remove from the oven, garnish with parsley and serve.
CLARIFICATION
Sonja and Raymond Barker of Silverhill Orchards have asked me to pass on that they are no longer at market due to health challenges. Had it been a planned retirement, they would have said a fond and proper goodbye to the market friends they have made over the last 16 years. Sonja says that each and every one of you has left “footprints on their hearts.” We wish them well on their path to wellness.

The Port Moody Foundation has invited the Community Ventures Society (CVS) to participate in a planned giving evening event on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at the Old Orchard Hall in Port Moody, from 7 - 9pm. CVS is one of three organizations selected to participate in this event.
like life skills, community inclusion, employment, outreach, and shared living services. At the planned giving event there will be experts on taxation planning and law who will respond to the case statements and make recommendations on more tax efficient way to organize finances to optimize estates, reduce taxes and achieve stated goals. No one will be asked to do anything on the evening: the only objective is to help attendees to better plan financial affairs in light of legal and taxation realities.
The Port Moody Foundation has asked us to invite our members to participate in this event as a way to learn about the concept of planned giving. We ask you to consider the following statement of life circumstance that may apply to some of our members: “We are a married couple in our early 60’s. We hope to retire in four years. Community Ventures Society has supported our adult child for over 15 years and we want to provide some financial support to the organization as a way of leaving a legacy. We want to do it in a way that best protects our estate for our children and grandkids, and at the same time contribute to our community.”
Robert Simons, President of the Port Moody Foundation says, “We know that this kind of event is always popular and we find that people enjoy developing their understanding of law and taxation in the supportive environment of the community. Peoples’ financial matters are always personal and they are better able to organize them when there is an understanding of prevailing opportunities and constraints. If you have any questions about the event please contact myself at 604.939.8070 ext. 2020 or Robert Simon, President of the Port Moody Foundation at 604.461.6660. We hope to see you there.
We are also inviting members of the general public who may be interested in leaving a legacy for an accredited nonprofit community organization serving the Tri-Cities. CVS provides quality services for children with developmental disabilities such as providing foster families, summer camps, family respite and specialized residential. For adults we provide services
Sincerely yours, Kevin Lusignan, MA, Executive Director

THE ENVIRONMENT
Don’t be scared — just green your Halloween LIVING GREEN
MELISSA CHAUN
G
reening your Halloween doesn’t have to be scary. As the David Suzuki Foundation’s Queen of Green reported several years ago, you’ve got options, whether it’s creating the perfect costume for yourself or the kids, or providing treasured treats. First, the challenge should be to try to avoid plastics as much as possible, whether in your decorations or costumes, or, yes, even with those treats. Our world is full of plastics and many single-use items don’t necessarily end up in our landfills so much as in our oceans, contaminating our soils and ultimately killing wildlife. Now that’s scary. With this in mind, try to avoid the perhaps tempting — i.e., colourful and cheap — plastic Halloween decorations, and have fun thinking of more sustainable options.
DECORATIONS
Besides pumpkins and
gourds of various shapes, colours and with/without “warts,” there are a number of indoor and outdoor plants available at your local grocery store or nursery, such as orange pansies, chrysanthemums, gaillardia, kalanchoe and the ornamental pepper plants. Whatever you decide, avoid the invasive Eurasian Physalis alkekengi (sometimes listed as P. franchetii) or Jack-o-lantern vine. Unfortunately, some stores continue to sell this plant (with a subtle warning label) but it’s better to avoid it altogether. They are invasive, spreading via underground rhizomes and by reseeding, so should neither be planted outside nor composted. Moreover, Chinese lantern plants are poisonous — mind your children and pets — and apparently subject to many plant diseases and insect pests. You don’t have to wait until Christmas to have fun with decorations. Incorporating plant material into various arrangements can be eyecatching and satisfying for the creative streak in you. Think about using the colours of the season in wreaths, swags, garlands, window boxes, cornucopias and how about Halloween kissing balls? For an overall glow, there are orange lightbulbs. (There’s orange cellophane too, named
because it’s actually made from plant-based cellulose, not plastic.) Consider yourself really crafty? Instructables.com is an excellent how-to website with countless fun ideas to explore with the little people in your life, such as ghost terraria and mummy jar lanterns. (Avoid plastics and Styrofoam, wherever possible, substituting with paper/fabric instead.)
COSTUMES, MAKE-UP Challenge yourself and your kids to repurpose something you already own. Some of
the most creative costumes I’ve ever seen have been repurposed and handmade. It’s also fun to visit your local thrift store for inspiration. How about organizing or suggesting a costume swap/trade with friends and family? As well, you can always rent a costume. Use non-toxic make-up and hair dye, especially on your children. Choose non-toxic options or you can create safe Halloween make-up with a recipe from e-how.com (which provides lots of crafty ideas as well). You’ll need simple ingredients like vegetable glycerin
(found at health food stores), cornstarch, and food colouring (there are plant-based options now).Bottom of Form
SWEETS & TREATS
Buy bulk to cut down on excess packaging. Look for Fair Trade chocolate and organic candy. In addition to roasting pumpkin seeds to make a tasty nutritious treat, try turmeric-dusted popcorn from Vegetarian Times magazine. For the vegetarians and vegans out there, look for chewy candies made with vegetarian alternatives such as tapioca
syrup, agar agar or fruit pectin. Whatever you do this Halloween, challenge yourself to be more planet-friendly and have fun getting to know your neighbours by walking with your children as they trick or treat — not driving them to another neighbourhood. Melissa Chaun of Port Moody is an ecologist with a passion for all things sustainable. She is events co-ordinator with the Rivershed Society of BC, volunteers on various city committees and co-ordinates the monthly meetings for Tri-City Greendrinks. Her column runs monthly.

BC LACROSSE ASSOCIATION
Shakeup to improve junior lacrosse in B.C. Move will replace Intermediate league with tiered Junior B leagues MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A new structure for junior lacrosse in B.C. will create better opportunities for young players to develop their game, but it won’t make it any more likely for the province’s Junior A teams to win a Minto Cup national championship. That’s the assessment by the president of the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs, James Abbott, after the directors of the B.C. Lacrosse Association recently voted to replace intermedi-
ate divisions with a five-year tiered junior B program that can keep players together from when they’re 17 years old until they’re 21. Abbott said the new system of three tiers of Junior B lacrosse will give players graduating from local midget programs more options to develop according to their aspirations and level of commitment. A top tier Junior B division will replace the current intermediate model, while a second tier replaces the previous Junior B division. Depth players would play in the third tier. “They’ll be able to go at their own pace,” said Abbott. That means young players graduating from midget lacrosse will be more likely to stay in the game, said the president of the BC Junior
A Lacrosse League Karl Christiansen. “Many people haven’t realized that on the Island and Mainland, 17 and 18 year olds would graduate from midget and either play or quit after 18 because they had nowhere to go, teams weren’t competitive, or they had no connection to their Junior B team,” Christiansen said. “Players graduating out of midget can play Junior A all the way to Junior B tier three.” The change also aligns the structure of junior lacrosse across B.C. with the rest of the country, which should make the province’s top Junior B teams competitive again for the Founder’s Cup national championship. No team from B.C. has ever won that trophy, and it’s been 10 years since one
reached the final, when the Coquitlam Adanacs lost to Six Nations in Kamloops. Reg Thompson, the president of the Port Coquitlam Saints Junior A team, said keeping players together for five years will improve the level of lacrosse throughout the junior ranks. “It gives all these kids a chance to fit in,” Thompson said. “They are together all the time, they play together, practice together, they just get to know what the other guy is doing. You learn more if you’re together longer.” Abbott said while the new structure may polish some diamonds in the rough for promotion to Junior A teams, its main benefit will be to bring much-needed depth to Junior B programs.
“In the Junior B league there was some good players but there wasn’t any depth, there’s no development happening,” Abbott said. “This will make a much stronger league.” Harold Corbett, the senior directorate chair for the BC Lacrosse Association, agrees. “This should help all of our tiers get stronger, evening out competitions throughout the five-year program,” Corbett said in an open letter to all junior lacrosse leagues in the province. Christiansen said there’s already been interest expressed by two organizations to create new tier three teams, adding “it will be new clubs formed and not attrition or just taking a team’s place.” Thompson said the change has been percolating for years,
but it was never implemented because it was perceived as a top-down initiative dictated by the Junior A leagues. This time the impetus came from the Junior B level. “We’re trying to make the game better,” he said. A sentiment shared by the Adanacs’ Abbott. “It’s going to be a really awesome thing for lacrosse, I think.” Corbett said the timing is right, “I am sure if we had stayed status quo, we would still be discussing these same problems 10 years from now.” Instead, he foresees the possible eventual formation of a fourth tier as more players stay in the game. “Hopefully we will be able to grow out system down,” he said.

SFU men set sights on NCAA soccer berth
ELAINE FLEURY PHOTO
Port Moody Panthers’ Kevin Allen gets into a disagreement with Delta Ice Hawks’ Jonathan Rees Jr. in their game last Saturday at Port Moody Arena. The Panthers lost to the league-leading Ice Hawks, 2-0, despite the heroics of Port Moody netminder Jack Stradiotti, who stopped 48 of the 50 shots he faced.

An automatic berth into the NCAA post-season tournament is still within the grasp of the Simon Fraser University Clan men’s soccer team, thanks to the scoring heroics of Coquitlam’s Matteo Polisi. The freshman midfielder out of Dr. Charles Best secondary scored his second straight gamewinning goal to give the 13th-ranked POLISI Clan a 3-2 win over Saint Martin’s University last Saturday in Lacey, Wash. The win lifted SFU into sole possession of first place in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, three points ahead of Western Washington University and Seattle Pacific, with four games left in the season. One of those four was played yesterday (after the Tri-City News’ deadline) in Billings against Montana State University Billings. If they’re able to retain their
position atop the table, the Clan will have an easier road to an NCAA championship as they’ll have secured their place in the post-season tournament. Polisi’s winner came in the 77th minute when he took a pass from substitute Dzenan Bezdrob, dribbled past a pair of defenders and fired a winner from 15 yards out. It was his second goal of the game, after he connected on a penalty kick in the 41st minute to tie the match 1-1. Saint Martin’s, which the Clan had defeated 5-1 earlier in the season and has only one win all season, gave SFU all it could handle, firing the first six shots of the match and keeping the visitors away from their own net until the 38th minute. SFU took their first lead of the match in the 64th minute, but Saint Martin’s equalized 10 minutes later, setting the stage for Polisi’s heroics. The Clan play Northwest Nazarene University on Saturday in Nampa, Idaho, before returning home to play the two teams chasing
them in the GNAC standings. They host Western Washington on Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. and then Seattle Pacific on Nov. 4.
WILLETT WINS
Coquitlam’s Olivia Willett, a grad of Riverside secondary school, was recognized as the freshman of the year at last weekend’s Great Northwest Athletic Conference women’s crosscountry championships in Bellingham, Wash. Willett finished ninth in the race and helped her Simon Fraser University team to second place in the conference championship behind the Alaska Anchorage Seawolves, who placed all five of their runners in the top-10. Junior Addy Townsend, a Dr. Charles Best grad, finished 27th. But she was hobbled by an asthma attack two kilometres into the run, costing her a full minuteand-a-half behind the time she ran the same course two weeks ago. Townsend’s sister, Dana, finished 70th.

ANNOUNCEMENTS NOBBS, Nelda Ruth (nee Price) May 23, 1929 - October 14, 2017
Ruth, our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great grandmother (GG), Sister, relative and friend to many passed away after a valiant and courageous stand against the challenges of Parkinson’s Disease. She will be deeply missed by her children Teresa (Anders), and Gregory (Dominique), her grandchildren Angela Riddle (Greg), Nicole Jorgensen (Mike), Craig Nobbs (Shevaun), Michael Nobbs, Andrea Carrier (Larry), Jesse Nobbs-Thiessen (Lisa), Max Nobbs-Thiessen (Kathy-Anne), Ben Nobbs-Thiessen (Karen) her fifteen great grandchildren, her sister Isabelle Price, her brother Allen (June) Price as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and treasured friends near and far. Predeceased by her loving son Laurie Nobbs in August 2014 and brother Stuart (Marion) Price in December 2014. Born in Delisle, SK, Ruth moved to Victoria with her family as a young girl where she graduated Mt. View High. As time passed and life happened she married, had three children and faced single parenthood by her 25th birthday. Ruth faced many challenges, but determined to succeed and rise above them, she paved the way advocating for the equality of women. Ruth worked to support herself and her children all the while studying to obtain her accounting designation (Registered Industrial Accountant) which opened the door to a long and rewarding career in the construction industry. In 1966 Ruth moved to Vancouver with her children affording her career opportunities and a better life for the future of her children. With courage, determination and a vision she never looked back. She held management and Comptroller positions at Permasteel Engineering, Channel One and other companies, but her greatest satisfaction and dedication was to her sons Laurie and Greg, working with them in building their businesses Liberty Homes and Country Homes respectively. Ruth moved to Port Coquitlam in 1990 where she lived and worked until she passed into the ever after. Ruth was strong in her faith, loved her church and was blessed to have many lifelong friendships. Her legacy, propelled by a strong sense of leadership was to mentor and inspire young women and their families including her own who she loved and was devoted to. Ruth loved to travel and visited many corners of the world absorbing the cultures and life experiences along the way. Our family matriarch, she exuded warmth and strength; a spirited, positive nature and love of life were hallmarks of her character. She will be remembered for her beauty and grace, forever in our hearts.
