Int’l students boost SD43’s enrolment & bottom line Foreign kids pay combined $25M for school here DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
Another jump in the number of foreign students is boosting School District 43 coffers and helping schools maintain a steady student population. As many as 1,800 foreign students signed up to pay $14,000 to go to school in SD43 for 2016/’17, about 100 students more than last year, according to superintendent Patricia Gartland.
The largest number comes from China but students from Korea, Japan, Brazil, Iran, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Europe are also in local schools, many of them at the high school level, where there is room for them because of declining enrolment in that age group. “There’s a realization now of the importance of [foreign] education to be competing in a global economy,” Gartland said, noting that SD43 students also benefit from mingling with students from other countries because they gain “intercultural understanding.” see $28M LAST YEAR, page 9

HOWLING GOOD HALLOWEEN
JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Last year’s rain on Halloween night held off just long enough to welcome 450 trick-or-treaters to Marlene Bilesky’s home in Coquitlam. She has her fingers crossed again for this Monday, which is threatening showers. The retired teacher has decorated her Westwood Plateau house at 2988 Forestridge Pl. for the past 16 years with lights and ghoulish creatures. Her goal? To give kids and their parents a fright as well as to raise money for Variety — the Children’s Charity. For addresses and details of local Halloween displays, see page 20.

When and where can you use fireworks? GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News
Tri-City residents should familiarize themselves with city bylaws before buying or lighting any fireworks this Halloween. The rules vary significantly depending on where a person lives and most people will require a permit if they are hoping to light up the skies Monday evening. In Coquitlam, the selling of fireworks in the municipality is strictly prohibited but certain fireworks are allowed to be set off — but only with a city permit. To obtain a $50 permit, a resident must provide their
FIREWORKS HANDLING TIPS
• Only adults should discharge fireworks. • Choose a safe area to discharge fireworks — a bare area of ground away from buildings, overhead structures, trees, vehicles, dry grass and other flammable objects. • Have a large bucket of water, sand or a garden hose ready. • Make sure spectators watch from a safe distance. • Never point or throw fireworks at people, pets, cars or buildings. • Never hold fireworks in your hand while lighting them. • Dispose of spent fireworks in a container of water. – source: PoCo Fire and Emergency Services
name, proof of age, an address and the date, time and duration of the display. An applicant also requires a site plan and must have a 30 m by 30 m clearance for aerial fireworks
and 20 m by 20 m clearance for ground effects. Permits are also required to use fireworks in Port Coquitlam. They cost $30 and are only valid on Oct. 31 until
ORANGE PUMPKINS, GREEN DISPOSAL
Dump your orange pumpkins in the green bin right after Halloween. That’s the message from the city of Port Coquitlam this week as it not only tries to steer food waste out of the landfill but also stops bears from roaming neighbourhoods. City staff want residents and business owners who won’t eat or compost pumpkins themselves to dispose of their jack-o’-lanterns in the organics cart along with other food scraps and yard trimmings. The vegetables will shipped off to a regional composting centre, where they’re turned into topsoil sold to farmers and gardeners. Visit portcoquitlam.ca/greencart for more information. 11:30 p.m. Anyone contravening the regulations could face a fine of up to $750. A person lighting off fireworks must be at least 18 and they can only be discharged on
private property with the consent of the owner or at a public event with written permission from the fire chief, according to a city press release. Randy Minaker, PoCo’s
deputy fire chief, told The TriCity News that both the police and fire officials are aware of who has permits and who does not. “It is easy for the RCMP to determine who is in compliance,” he said. “Members all have a list of permits and know who are able to light and ignite fireworks.” Port Moody is more lax with its fireworks regulations. The sale of fireworks still allowed in the municipality, provided stores cease operations on Oct. 30 at 9 p.m., and fireworks can only be discharged on Oct. 31. No permit is required in Port Moody. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Have your say on Brunette gridlock Open house Wed. on options for the major connector DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
Three options are being considered to reduce gridlock along the Brunette Avenue corridor between Coquitlam and New Westminster, and one includes a tunnel under railway tracks and the Brunette River that would replace the railroad and bailey bridge crossing between the cities. For years, the Brunette interchange and the connection from United Boulevard through the Braid industrial area have been considered a transportation headache because of gridlock along Brunette Avenue between Coquitlam and New Westminster via the overpass over Highway 1 and over the bailey bridge. Complaints have been made for years that gridlock hampers Tri-City residents from getting to Royal Columbian Hospital and the decision to improve the corridor was made in part to deal with concerns about emergency vehicles getting to the regional trauma centre. According to a spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the goal of the interchange improvements is to reduce congestion and improve safety in a corridor
BrUNeTTe OPTiONs
The three options are as follows: • Option A — Brunette interchange with separate municipal connections and United Boulevard connection: The main crossing of Highway 1 would separated into two corridors: a two-lane corridor for local traffic and a fourlane corridor for regional and provincial traffic. • Option B — Blue Mountain Interchange with United connection: This option extends Blue Mountain Street over Highway 1 to United and the interchange becomes the main access to Highway 1. • Option C — Blue Mountain interchange with Braid industrial area connector: The direct connection between United and Brunette (over bailey bridges and railway tracks) would be replaced by a two-lane connection from Blue Mountain to Columbia Street via a new connector, with a two-lane tunnel under the rail lines and the Brunette River.

that sees 60,000 cars and trucks every day. The initiative is part of BC on the Move, the province’s 10-year transportation plan, and both Coquitlam and New Westminster have been consulted as part of the Brunette interchange project. No dollar figure is being announced for the upgrade options until the open house, and Janelle Erwin, regional deputy director for the south coast region, said each of the options provides different benefits, which the public will be able to compare at the open house. Graphics showing the options weren’t available by The Tri-City News’ print deadline because
the ministry is waiting until an open house next Wednesday in Coquitlam to reveal them to the public. They will be available online after that. The open house will take place Nov. 2 at Maillard middle school, 1300 Rochester Ave., Coquitlam from 5 to 8 p.m. A second open house takes place in New Westminster the next day, with a third open house in early December, although no date has been set. A public engagement page on the government’s website has also been established at engage.gov.bc.ca/brunetteinterchange. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION & INFRASTRUCTURE MAP
Improvements are being considered to deal with gridlock along the Brunette Avenue corridor. Two open houses are slated for next week, one in Coquitlam and one in New Westminster, to provide the public with a chance to preview three options and provide feedback.

THE ARTS IN THE TRI-CITIES
City loan aims to help PoMo Arts Centre Society’s stability JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody’s arts centre appears to be back on track after the city granted the society that runs it an interest-free loan. Valerie Simons, president of the Port Moody Arts Centre Society (PMACS), said the nonprofit organization will receive $45,000 to retire a line of credit used for operations, which had an 8% interest rate and cost $1,500 a month in charges. The city loan will be paid back on Dec. 31 of every year starting in 2017 — $4,500 a year over 10 years. The cash comes after the society fell into financial trouble this summer. As a result, the board of directors let go its executive director, Stephen Torrence, and scaled back hours for its three full-time employees (operations manager, Lois Sharpe, has since returned to her regular schedule while gallery manager Janice Cotter is due to get back her regular hours by the end of the year, Simons vowed). “We’re just starting to feel that we can breathe a bit now

We’re well aware of that. We can only recover in small amounts but we believe we’re on the path to do that now.” News of the loan, which was published as a city advertisement in The Tri-City News, comes after PMAC last week hosted Girls Night Out, an annual fundraiser at city hall that
POMO ArTs FeeDBACK The same week the city of Port Coquitlam officially launched its new arts and culture plan, Port Moody also called for public feedback to update its arts strategy. PoMo has hired MDB Insight to oversee the consultation with residents as well as local and outside stakeholders in the arts, culture and heritage fields. Starting next Tuesday, Forum Research will randomly call 300 Port Moody residents to gauge their views on the new master plan for the City of the Arts. As well, city staff, business owners and arts stakeholders will be interviewed next month and, on Dec. 7, a public forum will be held at Old Orchard Hall (646 Bentley Rd.) from 7 to 9 p.m. An online survey will also run from Dec. 8 to Jan. 31 while focus groups with city council, the arts and culture committee, city staff and Tri-City arts stakeholders will begin in December. A draft arts and culture master plan is expected to go before city council next spring. Meanwhile, Coquitlam’s arts, culture and heritage strategic plan 2015-’30 remains at the draft stage.
was sold out. Proceeds from the Oct. 21 event — which were matched by its main sponsor, Scotiabank — are earmarked for operations. Mayor Mike Clay said funding for the PMACS loan will come out of council’s contingency fund and he’s confident the society will repay it in full and on time. Clay said council wasn’t surprised when PMACS asked for help.
In July 2013, the city provided the society with an $87,500 interest-free loan to design and build an atrium to link the PMAC building with the newly installed Appleyard House, a heritage home aimed at expanding arts programming; as per the agreement, that loan was repaid by December 2015. “We had concerns when we had them take on the new building,” Clay said. “They said at the time it was going to put some financial strain on them but they were going to do their best to work through it. They paid us back and, probably, everyone right now is regretting that because they rushed to pay us back so quickly. “They didn’t let it all sink in,” he said. “I think, from council’s standpoint, we knew it was going to put a burden on them.” Clay said council hopes to work with the society to ensure its finances are in order. Discussions are already taking place about whether the city needs to rejig its fee-for-service to PMAC given that the centre has doubled in size.

PoCo GP costs high but race hits budget Concerns about amount of staff time spent JANIS CLEUGH
The Tri-CiTy News
The first-ever PoCo Grand Prix may have cost more than planned to stage but it also raised more money than anticipated. According to a report to Port Coquitlam city council Monday, the pro bike race cost $223,000 to stage but about $74,000 in unanticipated revenue meant the net cost to the city was nearly bang on the budgeted $85,000. BC Superweek organizers and the city had expected costs to be in the $150,000 range — including the $15,000 purse for the winning rider — but the actual tally was $223,260 for such bills as labour, supplies and marketing, a difference of $73,260. Still, donations, sponsorships and race rider and corporate race fees offset the total by a whopping $138,950 — $74,000 more than organizers anticipated. Mayor Greg Moore, who took part in the corporate team ride, said next year’s race won’t have the big charges, with the budget scaled back by $8,000. And because of the buzz it

(The Tri-City News was a sponsor.) Still, Coun. Dean Washington took aim at the amount of city staff time involved to host the PoCo Grand Prix. PoCo’s area recreation manager Glenn Mitzel, who spoke for the race organizing committee, said exempt and salaried staff from the parks and recreation and communications de-
partments worked about 1,000 hours on the project — equal to about $70,000 (including benefits) not charged to the event. As well, there were 881 staff hours involved in hosting the PoCo Grand Prix, at a cost of $33,200 (including benefits), also not charged. By comparison, city staff time totalled $4,700 to host May Day this year (about 10% to 12% of the overall budget), said Lori Bowie, PoCo’s rec director. “I love events. I cheer them on. But I have real prob-

lems with spending this,” Washington said of the PoCo Grand Prix numbers. “I know there’s a lot to put on events but that’s a heck of a lot.” Washington, who ran this year’s Downtown PoCo Car Show, said his organizing committee would have been charged had city staff resources been used for his August car display, which drew at least five times more visitors to the core. And he doubted if the PoCo Grand Prix committee could be self-sustaining — as promised
— given the amount of city staff involvement over the past year. Moore argued the new event generated more enthusiasm as it got closer and, a result, employee expenses rose “to create a good first impression.” The mayor also noted the main sponsor, Dominion Lending Centres, has signed on for the remaining four years, thus reducing costs such as marketing and printing. He expects other revenues to rise — and even double — as the event expands. Coun. Darrell Penner said while he, too, was unhappy with the amount of staff time, the community benefitted, and the race spread the message about healthy living. Mark Ernsting, principal of M1 Sports Management, which earned a $15,700 fee to stickhandle the PoCo Grand Prix, told council Monday he received positive feedback from riders. “They really enjoyed the course structure and design,” he said, adding Cycling Canada was pleased with the event rollout in its first year. PoCo’s chief administrative officer, John Leeburn, said the city is learning its lessons to plan for the 2017 race, including better accommodation for downtown retailers whose businesses were affected by the course. Among the suggestions to be considered by the organizing committee are:
• changing the race to a weekend day; • starting the event later in the day; • moving the course to keep Shaughnessy Street open north of McAllister; • and creating a Downtown Business Engagement subcommittee. Susanna Walden, executive director of the Downtown PoCo Business Improvement Association, spoke to city council in camera this week about her members’ survey. Those results will be disclosed in next month’s BIA newsletter. Yesterday (Thursday), Walden told The Tri-City News that of the 201 surveys distributed, 60 were returned and indicated, overall, “businesses are very excited about the PoCo Grand Prix and are in favour of hosting events and festivals.” Still, “the Friday [race day] posed challenges to host an event like that. Having barricades up — unlike the car show — creates a different feel and there are some mobility issues but, of course, they’re needed for safety reasons.” Walden said the BIA also wants downtown property and business owners to make the most of the PoCo Grand Prix with better exposure and marketing. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jcleughTC

PoMo library needs cash for expansion SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody Public Library is eyeing a strategic plan update next year and hoping for an automatic book sorting system, but a hiccup in renovation plans may put the latter project on hold. Bids for the library’s $450,000 renovation project, which has been discussed in various forms for more than a decade, came in significantly higher than expected last month for work that included increasing usable space, adding quieter study areas and improving the children’s area. A request to the city for an additional $235,000 to complete the overhaul was denied at a recent finance committee meeting. Instead, the committee voted to include the renovation project with the tender for the civic centre envelope repair project. The decision means library administration staff are shelving months of work to prepare for the long-awaited
December renovation. “It was heartbreaking,” said board chair Errin Morrison. “It won’t go forward in the conceivable next few months, and if it does, we’ll have to juggle it with the building envelope repair project.” It also means the heavily used library will be closed during a much busier time of year than over the Christmas holidays, when traffic tends to be slower, Morrison said. Getting the $85,000 automated materials handling system is dependant on the renovations because the front counter area and Parklane meeting room would need to be reconfigured to accommodate it, she said. And she noted that PoMo’s population has grown tremendously but the library’s space, technology and staff numbers haven’t kept pace. From 1996, when the library moved to its current location, to 2015, there has been a 129% increase in the number of items loaned each year, and a 103% increase in library visits annu-
ally, Morrison said in her presentation Tuesday. Each year, more than 600,000 items are checked out — 175 per open hour in 2015 — in nearly 400,000 visits, or 105 per open hour. Morrison said the number of visits rose significantly in 2013, the first year the library’s strategic plan was implemented with the goal of popularizing the collection and increasing the number and variety of programs on offer. Last year, more than 18,000 people attended the library’s 477 programs. “There has been no corresponding increase in staffing,” Morrison said. “We continue to accomplish these goals by re-allocating existing resources and investing in technology, which is one of our strategic priorities.” The board is also requesting $15,000 for next year’s budget to update its five-year strategic plan, which expires at the end of 2017. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC
Initial OK for plan to move three heritage homes to one property SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
Anmore resident Fred Soofi is behind a proposal to save three heritage homes in Port Moody. Soofi has applied for a Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) for 123 Douglas St. in Moody Centre. The proposal would subdivide a single-family lot into three separate properties, on to which the homes would be moved. The corner lot has three frontages on St. Andrews, Douglas and St. George streets, placing it within the Moody Centre Heritage Character Area but just outside the Conservation Area. The homes, all of which are in different locations, are on the city’s Heritage Register. The Moisio residence was built in 1912 by Esa Moisio, a millwright at the ThurstonFlavelle mill and one of the
city’s aldermen from 1915 to 1917. Architecturally, the home is described as a “wellmaintained example” of the Arts and Crafts bungalow style, with modest detailing typical of that built for the working class before the First World War. Built in 1922, the Siddall residence shows the “late persistence of the influence of the Craftsman style,” according to a staff report. Its first owner was James Pridham Siddall, a sawmill engineer originally from Nova Scotia. The “youngest” home was built in 1944 by Ross Sutherland, a millworker who reaped the benefits of cheap construction materials; it’s significant as a connection to PoMo’s wartime development. Should the properties be moved to Douglas Street from their current locations on Clarke, St. Johns and St. George streets, Soofi will be responsible for restoring the exterior of

the buildings to their original character. PoMo staff recommended approving the HRA because of the unique opportunity to preserve three heritage buildings in a single development and the Douglas location would provide a suitable transition from nearby properties where six storeys are permitted in the official community plan. The application is also consistent with PoMo’s affordable housing strategy, which aims to create smaller and more affordable options, including reduced lot sizes and coach houses. Council approved first two readings of the HRA bylaw and a public hearing on Nov. 8 (Coun. Diana Dilworth was absent and Coun. Zoe Royer recused herself due to a potential conflict of interest given her husband’s firm is involved in the project).

Close proximity to Asia, efforts by SD43 international education staff to market the program — that was Gartland’s job before she was appointed superintendent — the creation and maintenance of relationships with parents, agents and officials in other countries all help SD43 to have one of the most successful international education programs in the province, she said. “Our brand and our school district is renowned in the province for having the top education results. We’re renowned in the world, as well.” Once a pioneer, SD43 is now one of dozens of B.C. institutions attracting and educating foreign students, with public schools, private schools and post-secondary institutions all competing for kids and the dollars they pay. But despite the competition, SD43’s international education program continues to be a money-maker, contributing $28 million to district coffers last year. As well, the increase in the number of foreign students is helping offset what could be a decline in enrolment. Figures released at a board of education meeting Tuesday show that approximately 15 fewer students (calculated as full time equivalent) enrolled in SD43 schools this fall, compared to last year. Gartland said the number does not represent a significant drop. An October head count found that 30,384 students were enrolled in local public schools. (And this comes after, a year

PATRICIA GARTLAND, SD43 earlier, the district enrolled about 300 more students than expected.) The district had been expecting even lower enrolment because of the large number of grads last year and stable kindergarten numbers, Gartland said, but the drop was less than expected in part because 60 new high school students enrolled for classes at Centennial secondary. Gartland speculated that they were either private school students or Centennial catchment students attending schools in Burnaby who were drawn to the school because of its $50-million seismic rebuild. It will be January or possibly later before students will be attending classes in the new building because construction is ongoing. “The building is almost complete and we’re just very optimistic that we will soon be able to transfer over the classes. The soonest would be Christmas but we’re not sure.” The school’s technology education programs have already moved over to offer classes in the new building.

Deadlier flu season may be brewing Vaccine mismatch unlikely this year, says CDC doctor JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS
B.C. may be in for one of the deadliest flu seasons in recent years and public health officials are hoping more at-risk residents get vaccinated. But they’re facing an uphill battle as use of the influenza vaccine dipped to around 35% of the B.C. population last flu season, after peaking a year earlier at nearly 40%. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, said she believes some people skipped the vaccine last year following disclosure that the 2014/’15 vaccine gave virtually no protection against the flu strain that ended up circulating. That mismatch problem doesn’t appear to have resurfaced this year, however. Skowronski said signs so far indicate the more dangerous H3N2 influenza strain will dominate this flu season and “pack quite a wallop” following a relatively mild H1N1-dominant flu season last winter. “H3N2 viruses are associated with the greatest disease burden — more intense, severe epidemics, more hospitalizations and
DR. DANUTA SKOWRONSKI deaths,” Skowronski said. “A number of us are concerned that it’s H3N2 we’re likely facing this year. We are already picking up care facility outbreaks due to H3N2 viruses. That is very early.” The new vaccine formulation includes an H3N2 component that so far appears to be a good match to the strain in circulation so far. “That can change. That can flip flop. But at least going into the season, that’s looking promising.” She added that how well the vaccine fits the virus is only one of the factors that drives the effectiveness of flu vaccines. The H3N2 vaccine effectiveness has traditionally hovered around 50%, she added, so even if it’s well matched against what’s circulated, protection is not assured. “It doesn’t mean that you are invincible if you get the vaccine, but I’m certainly expecting
more decent protection than had I been picking up signals in the circulating virus that it was drifting away from the vaccine component.” Skowronski said she hopes high-risk people in particular — the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions — aren’t dissuaded from taking the vaccine this time. “The vaccine can be a life saver and it would really be a tragedy if they chose not to get the vaccine because one year happened to be a miss on the match.” National statistics show the
worst flu season of the last five years — 2014-15 — resulted in nearly 600 deaths across Canada and more than 7,700 hospitalizations from confirmed cases. But Skowronski cautioned that any statistics of that sort grossly undercount actual deaths because most victims are never tested to confirm a flu virus. For more information on who is eligible for free flu shots and where to get them see immunizebc.ca and the site’s flu clinic locator. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

EVERGREEN EFFECTS
Oakdale area fights changes that come with Evergreen GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News
The Evergreen Extension has spurred a development boom in Burquitlam but it appears one neighbourhood has managed to push back against the city’s efforts to increase density in their area — at least for now. The Oakdale neighbourhood, which is bounded by Clarke Road, North Road, Chapman Avenue and Como Lake Avenue, has been largely untouched in the latest draft of the Burquitlam Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan and city staff said any significant changes are being deferred to a later date. “It is very clear that the neighbourhood is not interested in that right now,” said Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development. “I think the general sense in that area is leave it alone for the time being.” McIntyre acknowledged that residents in the area were vocal about their needs and that the changes to the neighbourhood plan show the city takes
people’s concerns into consideration when staff develops planning documents. He said changes may still come to the Oakdale neighbourhood if there is an appetite among residents in the future, and staff are coming up with policies that would allow for a review of the area without having to revamp the entire document. Jan McAndrew, a director of the Oakdale Residents Association, said she was pleased her neighbourhood was left alone in the most recent draft. “The people here are fairly close,” she said. “It is an established neighbourhood and many of the residents have been here for 20 to 50 years.” Anyone who has driven through Burquitlam in the last year or two has seen the changes taking place in the area, with development expected to continue long after the Evergreen Extension is fully operational. In most places, the neighbourhood plan calls for a shoulder area, where highrises would transition into mid-rises
and townhouses before turning into the single-family homes. But the resistance to the planning changes in Oakdale means that some single-family homes will be next to transitoriented highrise developments, a situation that Mayor Richard Stewart took issue with during a recent committee meeting. “I will re-echo my concern that we have a couple of locations where, right across the street from a transit-oriented highrise, we will have singlefamily and that is a reflection of the fact that some area residents are resisting the reality that there is change,” he said. “I understand the resistance but I also accept that those areas will change.” The Burquitlam Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan was presented to council Monday and will now go back to the public for further consultation. McIntyre said he expected the plan to be presented to council in the new year and formally adopted in the spring. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

OUR OPINION
Should Ellard have the right?
D
id Kelly Ellard give up her right to have a normal life as a girlfriend and mother when she beat and drowned Reena Virk in 1997? Some would argue she did now that it has been revealed that Ellard, serving a life sentence, was allowed to have conjugal visits with her parolee boyfriend. News reports reveal that Ellard is pregnant and if she is approved for suitability, could be allowed to have her child in prison with her for up to four years. She is up for parole next year. Many would say that Ellard shouldn’t have been allowed this privilege while others say babies and moms benefit from a program that allows infants to live on prison grounds. It could be argued that Ellard gave up her right to be a mom while serving her sentence but you can’t throw the baby out with the bath water and the issue now is the child’s health and safety. There is no happy ending to this story.

Dear Donald, I want to thank you. No, really. It’s not because I agree or disagree with your political positions, nor is it a result of your attitude towards women or Mexicans or Muslims or the less fortunate. It’s not even because of your hair — as glorious as it is — or your tax-dodging or your business acumen (selling mailorder steak through an electronics-store franchise was particularly visionary). It’s not even a result of your hatred of my profession or your penchant for blaming the fifth estate every time something doesn’t go your way. Sure, that misdirected agenda of yours has often boiled over to the point where you’ve encouraged supporters to commit acts of violence against certain reporters, but that’s just part of your crusade to improve America. I get it. No, I need to thank you for helping me trim down my list of friends and acquaintances, even if by just a few. You see, since you decided to run for president in what I can only assume began as a publicity stunt that caught a little too much fire, it’s become much easier to identify the racists, sexists and other ists in my life and eliminate them.
TC
I don’t mean eliminate them in the way you suggested those “second-amendment people” deal with your political adversary, I just mean I was able to disassociate from them, either in real life, online or both. A quick Facebook search of your name gave me a list of the guilty parties who were fans of your work, be it your various real-estate successes — you still have a place in Atlantic City? — The Apprentice or, of course, the reality show that is your run at the presidency of the United States. It took no more than a few clicks of a mouse to get all the Trump out of my life and, let me tell you, it’s been glorious since. No more “Hillary is the real crook!” posts. No more links to conspiracy theorist websites. No more “I don’t want a woman running my country!” screeds from some of my more misguided American friends. My newsfeed has truly been made great again and I have you to thank. (On that note, perhaps my next letter of thanks should be addressed to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. That “mute” function is a beautiful thing.)
Sure, I could try to reason with these people rather than just cut them off. Maybe they’d even be able to persuade me onto Team Trump after a number of reasoned and reasonable arguments. (No, really!) But I much prefer your method — simply stick to your guns no matter what less-than-crooked facts are thrown back in your face. Simply stating “No, I’m right” repeatedly, no matter what? Why haven’t more politicians thought of that? It’s a great slogan. Let’s get some T-shirts made up. Granted, Donald, your run at the White House isn’t the only way I’ve been able to spot deplorables in my Facebook account. Before you came along, there was the “What about white people who are shot by cops?” crowd, and the “vaccines cause autism” truthers before that. And of course, there are always a few people who want the Syrians to “go back where they came from.” Can’t wait for you to fix that problem, Don. Let me know how it goes. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks. If you’re ever in the neighbourhood, give me a shout and come by for a beer. And bring some of those steaks. Sincerely, Nick

THE FUTURE OF RIVERVIEW
CANADA’S 150TH
The Editor, Re. “City, province at odds on Riverview” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 19). As a Coquitlam resident and a registered psychologist at Riverview Hospital for more than 35 years, I continue to be appalled at the province’s new — should I say no — plans for Riverview. As I drive home from Vancouver near Hastings and Main streets, I am still stunned that three years after Riverview closed, I recognize most of the people sitting there. Why are they there still? These people are mentally ill and many have an additional substance use/ abuse problem. I know many of them because they were part of the Co-Occurrent Disorders Unit at Riverview, which was designed and implemented to treat clients with both a psychiatric disorder and substance abuse issue. It was a steep learning curve but we brought in many speakers from Canada and the

A few years ago, we attended the usual meeting of city council with the community to discuss issues in preparation for the next year’s budget. Although we have lived in Coquitlam for more than 32 years, we never did know about the totem pole at Dogwood Pavilion. We, like others, questioned the mayor about the pole and suggested it would be better served and enjoyed if it could be incorporated within the Town Centre plans. We were acknowledged and it sounded like a good idea. Later on, we followed up and were advised there were issues with condition of the totem pole and the Kwikwetlem First Nation, and nothing appears to have been done. Now, with the totem in dire need of repairs, the issue has surfaced again. But the cost for

The Editor, The lack of facilities for the care of those with mental health and addiction problems is absolutely shocking. The provincial government and Fraser Health are remiss in this care.

Mountie team hitting PoCo crime hotspots ChArGes iN sTABBiNG
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam’s Uniformed Crime Reduction Unit (UCRU) has hit the streets to shine a light on the city’s hotspots. The four-member team will increase police visibility in the downtown core and throughout parks and trails, and will assist general duty Mounties in PoCo when they’re busiest. PoCo’s city council approved funding for the additional officers earlier this year, part of several new measures that led to a nearly 3.5% property tax increase. According to Coquitlam RCMP, the team has already made a dent in an ongoing PoCo headache — a problem residence in the 1500-block of Grant Avenue. In late September, local Mounties and members of the Emergency Response Team raided a home on that block to make a high-risk arrest. Eight people were found in the home and taken into custody for questioning. Drugs and stolen property were also found inside, although no charges have been laid. The UCRU team worked with the city of PoCo to issue a “do not occupy” order on the home.

A Vancouver man has been charged after a stabbing last week in Port Moody. Police were called to a Gatensbury Street home at about 5 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 21 and found a man suffering from multiple stab wounds. He was taken to hospital in stable condition and has since been released. Const. Angela Fisher said the victim and accused are known to each other and although investigators are still determining what precipitated the early-morning incident, it appears to be an “innocuous event that seemingly escalated.” Devin Icoz, 21, has been charged with aggravated assault and will appear in court next on Nov. 7 in Port Coquitlam.
Join us for an afternoon tea to support this very worthwhile organization. There will be speakers from the Osteoporosis Association as well as information tables, gift bags and door prizes!

“Grant Avenue is a great example of what Port Coquitlam residents can expect from UCRU,” said Cpl. Michelle Luca, PoCo’s UCRU team leader. “We are listening to the community, focusing on problems and following through with solutions.” A PoCo resident raising a family in the city, Luca said she’s looking forward to making a difference. “Port Coquitlam is a tightknit community filled with people who love their city and want nothing more than to keep it safe.”

The unit patrols high-crime areas identified by call statistics, along with foot patrols in areas like Town Centre around the Evergreen Extension stations. Supt. Sean Maloney, head of the Coquitlam RCMP, said high-visibility policing is a key tool in the crime-reduction strategy.

I Am Someone Ending Bullying Society is hosting an auction with the help of Coquitlam Centre mall. Erin Moore, executive director of I Am Someone, says the online texting platform is important for helping youth who may be experiencing bullying or other issues. By texting 211, they can get access to professional support and services in their community. The service is now available from the Sunshine Coast to Hope 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “Help spread the message,” Moore said in a press release. “Bullying can be hard to recognize. Text 211 for help or visit www.bullyingornot.ca. This very simple act can help end the confusion and hurt by a single text message.” Also sponsoring The Ultimate Online Auction is EPR
Coquitlam, whose spokesperson, Ken Richardson, encouraged people to bid generously on the auction packages. Bidders should register online in advance at coquitlamcentre.com. The auction site went live Wednesday morning and will run to Nov. 7 at 10 p.m. Successful bidders may pick up and pay for their items at Coquitlam Centre customer service during regular mall hours starting Nov. 7 and running through Nov. 15. To spread the word about the auction on Twitter, use the hashtag #IASonlineauction and connect to @IAS_Society, or I Am Someone on Facebook.
City staff want to hear from you! We are looking closely at Cottonwood Park and planning its future. We are holding an information session to get your feedback on park amenities and priorities to create a Vision and Master Plan for future development of Cottonwood Park.

OBITUARY
PM promoter, dancer, historian: sholund remembered SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
On Sunday, Port Moody lost one of its most treasured residents and surely its most ardent fan. Al Sholund was just shy of his 97th birthday and leaves behind his wife of 70 years, Nellie, and their two daughters, Christine and Pauline. He also leaves behind a distinguished career at Imperial Oil, a wealth of recorded history about the city of Port Moody, a library that saw its beginnings shepherded by the Sholunds and, to anyone who knew him well or just met him in passing, a smile. “Whatever was going on in the city, he was smiling and he was in on it,” said David Driscoll, a former alderman and mayor, and a Freedom of the City recipient in 2000. “He had just a tremendous commitment to the local community.” Sholund served in the Second
AL SHOLUND World War — he and Nellie met while he was stationed in England — and they moved to Port Moody in 1956, when there were only about 5,000 people calling the city home. The couple quickly made a name for themselves, putting together PoMo’s first library and library board, and lighting up the dance floor every weekend at Bennett’s Hall (now the Kyle Centre). “The floor was sprung so you could dance all night without
getting tired,” Sholund said with a wink in 2013 for a story that was part of The Tri-City News’ Port Moody centennial coverage. The duo’s pioneering spirit and love for all things PoMo — and anything involving a good time — were plain to see. They remembered the joy in raising a family in a small town, recalling Halloween festivities, complete with a firefighters’ bonfire, church parties and skating rinks in the parking lot of the old rec hall. “Up until a year and a half ago, he and Nellie were still the first ones on the dance floor at any good party and jumping up to have fun, because I think they bleed Port Moody blood in that family,” Mayor Mike Clay said at Tuesday’s council meeting. Sholund was passionate about his work as well. As a chemist, he was one of the first to implement wastewater treatment systems in the petrochemical sector, Driscoll said,
using biological organisms to break it down into harmless material. In his spare time, Sholund turned to one of his other great loves: local history. He was instrumental in creating the Port Moody Station Museum, volunteering countless hours to its restoration, its artifacts and the development of heritage education programs for all ages, notes a tribute to Sholund on PoMo’s website. Sholund wrote historical articles for the city and the Focus newsletter for 25 years, confessing a particular fondness for railway history, and contributed to the Port Moody Historical Society book Tracks in Time. Robert Simons met Sholund when he joined the Historical Society about eight years ago, although there were few who didn’t know of the local legend, Simons said. “Al exuded vision, dedication and passion to protect, preserve and communicate the history
and heritage of Port Moody. His published articles of historical insights will forever provide readers with memorable vignettes of Port Moody.” Fellow local legend and devoted historian Mary Anne Cooper described Sholund as a “gentleman and a scholar” and said, “He had a fabulous memory about Ioco, and was gracious in sharing information when asked... His stories were treasures of history, authentic and beautifully written. He also had a great sense of humour I loved. I admired and respected him, humbly.” Mayor Clay, a lifelong PoMo resident, said Tuesday it was
difficult to imagine a Port Moody without Sholund, who, along with Nellie, was granted the Freedom of the City in 1998. It’s an honour that goes to those who go well beyond the ordinary to improve their community, and few have done so in quite the same spirit as the Sholunds, Clay said. “Our heart goes out to Nellie on her loss and the unimaginable void in her life, losing her best friend and partner and a funny, fun-to-be-around guy.” A memorial service will not be held, in accordance with Al Sholund’s wishes.

PARANORMAL POMO
Get spooked, get dancing and get rocked this howl-aween weekend but, most importantly, be sure to have a ghostly good — and safe — time.
After years of research the Northern Paranormal Investigations Society will be revealing whether the Port Moody Station Museum is, indeed, haunted. This spook-tacular event is at the museum at 8 p.m. and is for those aged 18 and up. Admission is free but anyone interested (or brave enough!) should RSVP at 604-939-1648.
Friday, Oct. 28 SUGAR STILL
SCARY SALSA
Chicago’s Sugar Still returns to PoMo’s Gallery Bistro tonight for an evening of outstanding music featuring Americana, roots, bluegrass and gypsy folk. Pair it with dinner at 6:30 p.m. before the 7:30 p.m. show. Call 604-937-0998 to reserve.
Get your ghoulish moves on for the salsa and Latin Halloween Night at the Evergreen Cultural Centre. As always, the evening begins with a lesson at 8 p.m. with the party running 9 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Be sure to wear something freaky. Admission is $10; visit www.hotsalsadancezone. com for more info.
MYSTERY ON TOUR
With Halloween on the horizon it’s the perfect time to be spooked — with a humorous twist, of course — with a Sherlock Holmes mystery. The Arts Club takes its show Baskerville from the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage on tour, with five actors taking on more than 40 characters in this quirky whodunit at the Evergreen Cultural Centre to Oct. 30 at 8 p.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; visit www.evergreenculturalcentre. com or call 604-927-6555 for info and tickets.
Sunday, Oct. 30 HALLOWEEN SKATES
Get into the spooky spirit with a skating session for the whole family at the Port Moody arena from 1 to 4:15 p.m. All ages are welcome (children must be accompanied by an adult), as are strollers. Admission is $3.50/person. In PoCo, skate at the rec complex in costume and enjoy face painting and other activities from 1:15 to 3:45 p.m. Regular admission rates apply.
Saturday, Oct. 29 ROCK ON
FAMILY DAY AT PDA
Gems, crystals, fossils, rocks and more — it’s the annual Rock & Gem Show, presented by the Port Moody Rock & Gem Club. This year the theme is Seeking Sulphur: From Resource to Precious Stone, so it’s little wonder the club is partnering with Pacific Coast Terminals for the event. Drop by today and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at PoMo’s Kyle Centre to see all manner of stones along with jewelry, craft supplies, demonstrations and prizes. Visit www.portmoody. rocks for more info.
Gather the little ones for Place des Arts’ Family Day, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. The free event features hands-on art activities and a chance to tour the exhibits, along with Mr. I’s annual Halloween concert — Slightly Spooky Songs and Stories ($10/person) at 3 p.m. Call 604-664-1636 or visit www.brownpapertickets.com to purchase.

The Tri-Cities Refugee Welcome Club has brought in $4,500 this year to help government-assisted refugees from Syria and Turkey who have landed in the region. Founder Nancy McCurrach (right) said its first fundraiser at the Burke Beer House in Port Coquitlam tapped in $2,400 for the cause while its second event, held this month at the Coquitlam Legion branch, brought in $2,100 and drew elected officials from all three levels of government: Port Moody-Coquitlam NDP MP Fin Donnelly and Port CoquitlamCoquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon; Coquitlam-Maillardville NDP MLA Selina Robinson and Linda Reimer, BC Liberal MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam; and Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart along with city councillors Chris Wilson and Bonita Zarrillo (Coquitlam), Laura Dupont (Port Coquitlam) and Rick Glumac (Port Moody). “With this recent community fundraiser, once again we will be able to continue to help lift single-mother refugees and their children out of poverty by providing them with essential items. It really does take a village to raise a child,” McCurrach said in a news release.
For a second year in a row, the Chilliwack Elks have donated $1,500 to the Coquitlam-based charity Children of the Street Society to help spread the word about prevention, through various workshops around Chilliwack.

The company that has the cleaning services contract at Douglas College is paying back to help students at the two campuses in Coquitlam and New Westminster. Sodexo North America recently pledged $25,000 to its endowment fund, of which the interest goes into a scholarship. The pledge translates to $5,000 a year over the next five years, bringing its total investment to $33,000 since it started. “By growing their endowment, Sodexo is ensuring that Douglas students are recognized for many years to come for their academic achievements and their work to improve their community,” said Hazel Postma, the college’s foundation executive director, in a news release. “Nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing students succeed and, if we can help them along the way, it is very gratifying,” added district manager Doug Fowler.

ANNUAL SCARY STORY CONTEST
And the Scary Story Contest winners are... Coquitlam and Port Moody public libraries once again partnered with The Tri-City News to present the Scary Story Contest, which asked young people from 11 to 18 years of age to write a terrifying tale in time for Halloween. Dozens responded and local librarians read all the entries, narrowing them down to shortlists of about half a dozen stories in each of the two age categories (11 to 14 and 15 to 18 years); the winners were chosen by a Tri-City News judge. The first-place stories are printed below and all the stories are available at tricitynews.com. 15 TO 18 YEARS WINNER

A Picture of Elegance
T
he first crack of thunder catches the guests off guard. Thick velvet curtains have been drawn against the violent storm. Glittering sconces line the walls. Live music cascades softly down the halls, originating from the ballroom, where a carefully instructed orchestra plays on a raised marble podium. The lady of the house quietly excuses herself and makes her way upstairs. In the room next to her own, she finds her decrepit mother sitting in a rocking chair. She tries to start up a conversation, but her mother merely looks past her, muttering about some sort of apparition. With a sigh, she gets up to leave, but pauses briefly to remove the empty bottle of brandy from the bedside table. While reluctant to return to the party, she is curious to know why the music has stopped. Surely her husband wouldn’t make his speech without her? Then again, she wouldn’t expect any less of him. A fiend, her mother had once called him. Exasperated, she pushes open the double doors, her polite smile already in place. Her screams reverberate off the walls, filling the room with wails of anguish and terror. The guests are slumped in their chairs. Dead. They’re all dead. And have been for quite some time. Their skin is shriveled like an apple that’s rolled out of sight. Hollow sockets glare up at her, eyes long since reduced to nothing. Seized up hands hold silver-
ware at disturbing angles. Maggots crawl through forgotten meals. The music podium’s been abandoned. Spider webs cling to glasses and dust acts as a blanket, casting a thick, grimy film over every available surface. The center piece, once a delicate white swan posed amongst a nest of intricate flowers, has transformed. Now harsh branches erupt out of the table and act as a perch for an imposing and startlingly black raven. It looks so real she can’t help but lean towards it. It blinks ominously at her before taking flight. She turns to flee from the squawking, sharp beaked brute, but doesn’t make it far. Adrenaline mixes with disbelief as she watches an old tapestry come to life. Mesmerized by the scene, she doesn’t notice the nearest farmer take a step towards her. The tip of his scythe materializes before her, followed by the rest of him, as he steps out of the tapestry. She runs from the room and takes up refuge in a closet. Hands over her ears, she cries, trying to block out the calls of the raven. Sobs shake her frail, defenceless body. The sun won’t be up for hours. She’ll just have to wait it out. •••• The storm’s cleared up by the following morning, and the police follow up on a disturbance call. An ancient grounds keeper greets them and points out the broken locks on the front door. They take note of the destruction and open a window to release a confused, white dove. They diligently search the house. In the hall closet, they find a body.
Red Paint
A
man traveled home down the empty street, the moon casting an eerie glow on his blazer. The lone streetlight flickered dimly against the thick fog as the man walked past, his shoes clicking loudly against the faded pavement. Suddenly, the sound of something metal being dropped echoed through the street. The man tensed, listening. It was dead silent; even the rodents dared not breathe. The man’s gaze caught on a shadow, shifting by a tarnished brick wall. He strained to make out an adolescent male; whose arm lurched violently, shadows clinging to his figure. He’s painting, the man noted, the slight gleam of the brick wall catching his attention. The boy abruptly stopped, and the man watched on disdainfully as the shadows retreated back with him; revealing words scrawled on the bleached brick in bright red paint. “Hell is empty and all the devils are here” The man’s scowl deepened when he noticed that a scythe adorned the boy’s midnight black hoodie, barely visible in the ominous moonlight. Wannabe delinquents, a voice in his head whispered. He deserves to be punished. Chills ran up his spine as the man realized uneasily that he had forgotten his medication that morning. Looking back up, the man noticed that the boy and his graffiti had disappeared. An apparition, the man told himself. Swallowing loudly, he continued to walk home, paranoia creeping into his veins. As he approached his residence, he noticed the same shadowy figure vandalizing his house. Something inside
the man snapped. “Hey!” his voice boomed down the street. “You!” The boy’s head shot up. He spun around and began fleeing, overturning his bucket. The man pursued, his teeth bared as he followed the delinquent into a gloomy alleyway. The man gritted his teeth when he realized that it was a dead end, and that the boy was nowhere in sight. He turned back around; however, a dark figure blocked his exit. The delinquent approached the man, the streetlights behind him casting monstrous shadows against his figure. “You fiend! I should call the police!” The man seethed in anger. The boy simply grinned, his teeth gleaming from underneath his hood. Something about the smile unsettled the man. “I need more paint,” the boy said. “What?” the man sputtered. The boy approached slowly, moving like a wraith in the night. “The last man fought too much,” he stated innocently. “He didn’t give me much paint.” The man remained silent as a feeling of dread grew inside of him. He rubbed his eyes; but the boy remained. A gleam of metal shone from the boy’s hands, and the man searched desperately for an escape, panicking. He came up empty as the faint smell of iron reached his senses. The man then noticed the splatters of red paint soaking the boy’s hoodie and face. The boy’s eyes were dull and emotionless under his hood, his grin resembling that of a ghoul. A knife was raised slowly, pointing towards the man. “I need more paint.”

“Night after night, month after month, I slept. I was visited by many, with their bulbous eyes and blank stares. Sometimes, fiends sat on the ground, waking me with their promises of tortures and despairs.”
“I didn’t want to turn around, but my curiosity insisted. I saw the silhouette of an apparition crouched on the staircase. I took out my iPhone and snapped a picture. What I saw next was an absolute horror.”

“Working in the ER, you get a lot of weird stuff. Creepy stuff. Things you can’t explain. For example, we once had a kid who came in, crying with a stomachache. X-Rays told us there were teeth trying to grow in his stomach lining.”

s I was looking back on past columns, I realized that I have always written a column of thanks in October. This is the first year that this column runs after Thanksgiving, however, acknowledging my gratitude for all that is market life is so important to me. Every week I go to the market, I am surrounded by the bounty that is made, baked or grown in our community. And “bounty” doesn’t just refer to what I can purchase but, also, to the amazing vendors, staff and shoppers who form the markets. There is an abundance of community every week, and it is a community that fulfills me and gives me reason to continue to pursue my passion.

Some of them are then chosen to compete in the Grande Traversée, a 2,000 km bike race across Canada. It’s very exciting.” The sports program at Pionniers-deMallardville has proven to be a great way to keep their teenaged students interested in school. “In 2009,” says M. Leclerc, “around 45 percent of the kids were transferring out of our school to English or French immersion schools. Now they want to stay here.” For more information about l’école des Pionniers-de-Maillardville or the CSF, please check the school’s website at pionniers.csf.bc.ca, call 604.552.7915 or email eric_leclerc@csf.bc.ca.

eeping teenagers interested in school is a challenge for any high school. But for l’école des Pionniersde-Maillardville in Port Coquitlam, the challenge is made more acute by being a smaller school with limited resources. L’école des Pionniers-de-Maillardville is part of the Conseil scolaire francophone (CSF), or Francophone School District 93. As part of the B.C. public education system for more than 20 years, the CSF has offered an education in French to the francophone children of Port Coquitlam and surrounding areas. “In 2010, we realized that our high school needed a more active sports program to keep the teenagers interested; that’s what the kids told us,” says Eric Leclerc, principal of l’école des Pionniers-de-Maillardville. “So we joined the Greater Vancouver Independent Schools Athletic Association (GVISAA), a league for smaller schools like us.” Soon the school was joined by other high schools from the francophone school system, also looking for a place for their students to compete with other schools. “My goal was simply to create a love of sports,” says M. Leclerc. “Now we have a beginning hockey team and a strong soccer academy as well as a very successful girls’

Farmers and makers and... continued from page 32
The farmers at our markets are amazing. Every day, they work in the greenhouses and fields to bring us the food that nourishes us. You may think that with winter approaching, a farmer’s life gets easier, and in some ways that is true. The work doesn’t stop, though. Once the fields have been cleared, it’s time to make sure the greenhouses are secure, the equipment is serviced, the plan for next season is thought through. Did you know that the fields have to be rotated? It depletes the soil if the same crop is grown over and over again in the same place. For the makers, the madness is starting all over again. They have just come through a busy market season and while those slow down, the Christmas markets are just around the corner. Now is the time for those talented people to create, and create they do. How wonderful is it that you can do your gift shopping and support independent local business at the same time. Put your thinking caps on a bit early this year and start a Christmas gift list. I am so thankful that the gifts under
our tree are purchased from local artisans. It’s also a busy time for the bakers. Every week, they turn out the amazing breads, buns and pastries that we purchase regularly but the upcoming holiday season is a time to bring out all the extras: fancy cookies, special breads and cakes, even my personal favourite, fruit cake. (While I am indeed thankful for all that deliciousness, I am not thankful for the extra calories.) As always, I am filled with gratitude for the amazing staff and volunteers who make our markets such a joy to attend. They are at market so early, in every type of weather, getting the infrastructure in place so the vendors and shoppers have the best experience. And speaking of shoppers, that brings me to the final, and most important part of market for which I am grateful: You, the people who share my column and shop at market. Without your support, none of this would be possible. I am deeply thankful for you all.

You don’t have to pay anybody to be referred to me,” says David Wood, a partner of Boale Wood & Company. “The earlier you see me the better. And the initial consultation is free.” With local offices throughout Metro Vancouver, and providing services on the Sunshine Coast and in the Yukon Territory, Boale Wood is a Licensed Insolvency Trustee firm that offers professional advice and solutions to consumer and corporate debtors. “Many debtors come in and say, ‘I don’t want to go bankrupt,’” notes David. “The fact is bankruptcy is just one of a number of options. Because we’re licensed and regulated by the Federal Government through the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, we can also offer alternatives to bankruptcy, such as a consumer proposal.” A Licensed Insolvency Trustee is the only professional that can file a proposal, including a consumer proposal, or a bankruptcy. No one else can. “When you realize that you’re in financial difficulty and you’re only making the minimum payments and making no headway with your debt load, you need to come and see me.

A
s the weather turns cooler and wetter, with fewer hours of daylight, wouldn’t it be wonderful to brighten up your patio with some great colour? Enhancing our patios with colourful containers is easier than you may think. You just need to be both creative and strategic. First, the containers: There’s a great selection out there but avoid clay and cheap ceramics as they can crack with heaving frost. Well-fired frost-resistant ceramics are fine, as are zinc, resin and well-made plastic containers. As well, size matters. As a rule of thumb, the larger the container, the better the plants do, simply because of the bigger soil mass. For a great look, try grouping the planters together and, if you can, varying the heights.

Keep your container moist in cool climes continued from page 36
Your best bet is to get a quality potting soil and add a third measure of fine fir or hemlock bark mulch. This is essentially a nursery mix which is ideal for all fall and winter plants. Most hardy zone 6 plants will thrive in containers over winter and with cooler temperatures will need minimal maintenance. They will, however, need to be kept moist, especially if the containers are under eaves. The main winter issue is the degree of cold temperatures. Hardy plants in winter containers will do nicely down to about –8C. Lower than that, they need protection. A couple of tricks that work nicely are keeping them out of cold winter winds and wrapping them with insulating materials, like the new N-Sulate Ultimate Series fabric that not only blocks the wind but also makes a 10° difference in temperature. As soon as the worst of the cold is over, simply store these materials and your pot is good to go unless it gets severely cold again. Now, for the best winter container plants, a list of my favourites is in the blue box to the right...

Terry Fox Ravens back on top Cents loss means PoCo club leads eastern conference GARY MCKENNA
The Tri-CiTy News
The Terry Fox Ravens have moved into first place in the eastern conference last week Friday after defeating Mission secondary in convincing fash-
ion last Friday. The AAA high school football squad took down the visitors 51-7 under the lights at Percy Perry Stadium at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park, adding to the PoCo club’s already impressive point differential. With Centennial secondary’s loss to Lord Tweedsmuir, the Ravens are now the undisputed leaders of their division with a perfect 5-0 regular sea-
son record. The Centaurs were in contention for the top spot for most of the season but last week’s loss means they are now in third place with a 4-1 record and eight points in the season. But the Coquitlam school still has a chance of re-taking the lead and all eyes will be on a Nov. 4 date with the Ravens, which will be the first time the two clubs have faced each
other in the regular season. In the meantime, both teams will be back at it this weekend. Fox will take on the 4-1 Lord Tweedsmuir secondary, while Centennial is expected to play Kelowna secondary Friday night at Percy Perry Stadium. Post-season football gets underway after Nov. 5.

Natasha Calis scored two goals to help her Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC TNT squad defeat Richmond 5-1 last weekend in under-18 women’s soccer. Calis capitalized on a passes from Cooper Miller and Cristina Danieli to give the team a 2-0 lead early in the first half. But Coquitlam wasn’t finished scoring yet. After Richmond netted one before the first intermission, Nicole Chursinoff buried the ball to make it 3-1 as Coquitlam continued to find ways of getting past the opposing defence. Later on, Danieli worked her way up the middle of the field to pass the ball to Ariana Ansari, who put the game out of reach for the visitors at 4-1. Hayley Morrin finished off the scoring barrage when she was fed the ball during a play that started with Kaitlyn Travis passing to Risako Kazemi. The TNT remain in the top of their division in the B.C Coastal Girls Soccer League. sports@tricitynews.com

SHOLUND, G. Alvin November 3, 1919 − October 23, 2016 G. Alvin Sholund, a long time resident and community pioneer of Port Moody and IOCO passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 23, 2016. Alvin had a good 97 years. He is survived by his wife, Nellie, his daughters Christine (Denny) and Pauline, two granddaughters Kimberley (Dan) and Jennifer and two great granddaughters Madison and Ellie. Below is a tribute to the man we all loved and admired. A Grandpa’s Love He opened up worlds Adventures on foot Mysteries solved in one hour Ancient garbage dumps The Last Spike Old growth forest He opened my eyes Chemistry’s excitement Biology’s infinity The dynamics of physics Environmental wonders Science without boundaries He opened my heart with Gentle smiles, Strong hugs, Kind words, Soft eyes A Grandpa’s love This poem was written in 1999 by Alvin’s granddaughter Kimberley and describes Alvin in a way that everyone that knew him would appreciate. We have lost a great man who we have all been blessed to share our lives with. His legacy will continue beyond his 97 years. There will be no service by Al’s request. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, www.erhf.ca. We would like to thank the doctors and nurses who have given great care to Alvin. Also thank you Tri− Cities Home Care Support (too many great people to mention).

SMITH, Diane Frances September 1, 1937 - September 29, 2016 Diane passed away peacefully at the Crossroads Hospice in Port Moody on September 29, 2016 after being diagnosed with brain cancer in July. Diane will be fondly remembered and sorrowfully missed by her children Robert McKenzie, Heather Arkley, Arlie Picton, Brian & Ian Smith, as well as her numerous friends and extended family living throughout the country. Diane was best known for her entertaining conversation with “colourful” adjectives used to emphasize her points. Diane was kind and protective to those fortunate enough to be welcomed to her inner circle and demonstrated her charitable nature and big heart by donating her time in volunteering at the Coquitlam Thrift Store which raises proceeds for the Crossroads Hospice. Diane has now been reunited with her soul mate David Milton Smith whom she had lost on April 30, 2013. Diane was loved and will be missed! A celebration of life will be hosted by Heather on Saturday, November 5, 2016 from 10 am to 6 pm in Coquitlam.

Extended family: six stepchildren, nieces, nephews and grandkids. Doug worked for CP Rail for 30 years. He loved the outdoors, cars, ice cream, Maui and Elvis "Rock on the Journey Continues!" Celebration of Life − Sunday, November 13th, 1−3PM at Billy Bishop Legion, 1407 Laburnum Street, Vancouver, BC.
