Parent code of conduct queries in SD43 DPAC questions wording of policy DIANE STRANDBERG THE TRI-CITY NEWS
School District 43 is set to implement a policy to stop parents and guardians from threatening, harassing, bullying and intimidating others, and other inappropriate behaviour on school grounds and at school-sponsored events in a new code of conduct announced this week. And while it has some support on the board of education, it is getting a rough ride from the District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC). Introduced Tuesday, Policy 22 states that parents and guardians are role models and have a responsibility to respect the rights and dignity of others in school communities. As well, it says parents’ “unique role” helps contribute to a school culture that enhances student learning and enables everyone in the school community to “do their best work, to do their best learning and develop in a safe, supportive and caring environment.”

WORK BEGINS ON SEASONAL CELEBRATION
Clockwise from left: Matt Augustine strings bulbs in the trees around Lafarge Lake that will be part of the City of Coquitlam’s Lights at Lafarge Christmas display. Ryan Eng places lights on one of the arches along Lafarge Lake. Mark Murphy and Jeff Lintott check a lock box that contains some of the electrical circuits controlling the thousands of lights. Visitors to Lafarge Lake stroll past some of the thousands of Christmas lights already set up on Wednesday. Sara Morissette counts some of the thousands of Christmas lights.
Getting ready to Light up Lafarge
It takes a lot of time, work and aerial lifts to transform the banks of Coquitlam’s Lafarge Lake into a Christmas wonderland for the annual Lights at Lafarge event. Crews started that work on Monday and will continue right up until the tens of thousands of lights are first turned on Saturday, Nov. 25 at 5:30 p.m. That culminates an afternoon of outdoor and indoor family activities at Town Centre Park and the Evergreen Cultural Centre that begins that day at 2:30 p.m. Activities include roving outdoor entertainers, photos with Santa, crafts, a holiday market, choirs, free hot chocolate and cookies. Lights at Lafarge is the largest free outdoor lights display in the Lower Mainland. It goes nightly from Nov. 25 through Jan. 21, 5:30 to 11 p.m. with extended hours New Years Eve.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
Threats, harassment targeted in new code continued from front page
A list of goals that parents are to aspire to are spelled out, including behaving in a safe and responsible manner at all times, but the policy also states that parents must not “threaten, harass, bully, intimidate or assault, in any way, any person within the school community.” The policy covers schools and school-sponsored functions and activities, lays out an appeal process and ways parents should consult with staff. But the negative language had DPAC chair Craig Woods speaking out at the board meeting. “I feel quite appalled,” Woods said, expressing concern about the “language and choice of language and resulting optics.” Assistant superintendent Reno Ciolfi explained the policy was only being released as a notice of motion, as per board policy, and will still be scrutinized by partner groups, including parents, teachers and administrators. Ciolfi said the “vast majority of parents” contribute positively to their children’s schools but, occasionally, parent behaviour is inappropriate and can have “serious impact” on staff and students. Noting that “this is just the starting gun for that process,”
CRAIG WOODS, DPAC Ciolfi said parents need to be held to the same standard as employees and students, who are already governed by codes of conduct. But some of the penalties laid out in the policy are pretty clear. It states that breaches of the standard of conduct could affect consultation and communication, and the School Act and a no-trespass order could be invoked. Woods later told The Tri-City News that the DPAC executive would come up with its own language that would stress positive behaviours and role modelling to give parents an idea of what is expected of them. “The DPAC feels the stated intent to protect students and staff is something we support but we feel there is language that could
be more positive,” he said. Schools in other countries have similar codes of conduct that lay out very specific actions that parents shouldn’t do, such as damaging or destroying school property and sending abusive or threatening emails or text/voicemail and phone communication. One school in England lays out a social media policy guiding parents’ behaviour online and has sample letters for parents in the case of a breach of the code of conduct. Parent codes of conduct are also common for sports teams. Coquitlam Teachers’ Association president Ken Christensen said it’s fair to have a code of conduct for parents as one is already in place for teachers and students. He said a policy that is a statement of values — “this is what we believe and this is what we expect” — would probably be acceptable to most people. “The reality is we do have some parents who take things too far,” said Christensen, citing negative comments on Facebook as being one source of complaints. “It doesn’t happen often, by and large parents are incredibly supportive of teachers and go out of their way to help and be supportive.”

EVERGREEN EFFECTS
Another Evergreen station? Possibly Possible station at Falcon could affect area development GARY MCKENNA
The Tri-CiTy News
The process of updating Coquitlam’s City Centre Area Plan will look at potential funding strategies for adding a new SkyTrain station at Falcon Drive, according to a staff report. While a new station is far from a certainty, major project planner Andrew Merrill said an additional transit hub would have ramifications for the planning process in the surrounding neighbourhood. “If there is a station, we have one land use direction,” he told council Monday afternoon. “If there isn’t a station, we can go in a different land use direction.” Consideration of a new station is part of a larger effort to update plans for City Centre now that the Evergreen Extension has arrived. While the high-density, walkable neighbourhood envisioned in past planning documents is already starting
to take shape, staff said some refinements need to be made. “There is life starting to appear on our sidewalks,” Merrill said. “This is a really good time now that the SkyTrain is here to capitalize on all those past decisions and really raise the bar for our City Centre.” When the process is complete, staff hope to have an updated land use strategy along with policies to help encourage employment growth. Planners also hope to shape an identity for the neighbourhood that makes it unique from other parts of the region. The core area of focus includes the properties within 400 m of Coquitlam Central, Lincoln and Lafarge LakeDouglas stations as well as a shoulder area 800 m around the Evergreen Extension. The shoulder area also includes properties along Barnet Highway within the range of Port Moody’s Inlet Station. Staff said they would refine the scope of the City Centre Area Plan update and report back to council before the end of the year. Phase 1 will begin in December — the one-year anniversary of Evergreen’s opening — and will focus on inves-
tigating the existing site “in order to inform a discussion on City Centre’s identity and character,” said a staff report. The initial work will include public consultation and will allow the city to put together a policy direction. The second phase of the update would occur next summer.

DRUG OVERDOSES
Families can help with overdose crisis Fraser Health says keys are info and discussion DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
Clamping down on the spike in drug overdoses is the goal of a new education campaign to reduce the stigma surrounding illicit drug use. Fraser Health is hoping that if loved ones can talk about the issue in a safe and loving way, lives will be saved. “We found out that many of the people who were overdosing often lived with someone else, a family member or roommate,” said Dr. Aamir Bharmal, medical health officer for Fraser Health. “We want to reach out to people who live with people who use substances and give them some tools around having a conversation around substance use and [so they can] develop a safe environment.” When Words Matter is being rolled out this week with posters, a video and on social media in an effort to bring people closer together — and perhaps prevent a drug overdose.
3 MOre OD’s iN sePT.
Three people died in Coquitlam of illicit drug overdoses in September, bringing the number of deaths in 2017 to 21, according to statistics from the BC Coroners Service, which is publicizing the numbers as the province tracks this health crisis. The numbers show nearly a doubling of drug deaths in Coquitlam since 2016, when 13 deaths were reported for the entire year, and are equivalent to the total number of drug deaths that occurred in the city between 2005 and 2013. (In 2014, overdose deaths in the city began to spike, with 10 in 2014, 11 in 2015 and 13 deaths in 2016.) Coquitlam is one of many cities noted for drug overdose deaths in the most recent report but no numbers are reported for Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. That’s because the report doesn’t include numbers where overdose deaths are fewer than five because of month-to-month variability and privacy, according to spokesperson Andrew Watson. In all of B.C., there were 80 suspected drug overdose deaths in September, representing a 31% increase from September 2016. The suspected number of illicit drug overdose deaths province-wide for the year to date is now 1,103, up from 607 at this time in 2016. Approximately 83%, or 914, of the suspected illicit drug deaths to date in 2017 had fentanyl detected, representing an increase of 147% over the same period in 2016. In most cases, fentanyl was combined with other illicit drugs, most often cocaine, heroin or methamphetamine. Carfentanil has been detected in 37 suspected illicit drug overdose deaths between June and September of 2017. Other trends the coroners office notes include that almost three of every four deaths involved people between the ages of 30 and 59, and four out of five who died were male while nine out of every 10 deaths occurred indoors, including more than half in homes.

DRUG OVERDOSES
Many OD’s occurring in people’s homes continued from page 7
As well, there is a guide with tips and strategies for beginning a conversation and keeping the lines of communication open. The guide and other information can be found at fraserhealth.ca/overdose under Start the Conversation. The stigma attached to drug use may be creating a barrier between loved ones, leading to a sense of isolation and, ultimately, circumstances where people do drugs — and all too often, die — alone, Bharmal said. “Because we know there is such a strong stigma for drug use as well as mental health issues, this is what’s driving people underground to use these substances alone at home,” he said, noting that 70% of overdoses taking place in the region are occurring in private residences. Although opening up a conversation may be difficult, Bharmal said it can be lifesaving if, once acknowledged, loved ones are encouraged to reach out, take steps to deal with addiction while their friends and relations take steps to learn about overdose prevention, including carrying a naloxone kit to reverse the effects of an overdose.

TESTIMONIALS: see why two of Jane’s patients believe in acupuncure!
P. Chew, 88 years old was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep, but could not sit without unbearable, paralyzing pain. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop and come to me. Now he is free from the problem and lives happily. 51-year-old Kelly felt body pain especially on the neck, shoulder, waist and back every day and night over the past few years. She tried everything and finally came to Acupuncture by a TCM doctor and Acupuncturist Dr. Wang who used TCM technique and Acupuncture to help her and relieve her pain. Now she is free from the pain and misery and has become a happy and healthy person.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
Court ruling costs district big bucks Even additions for schools under construction DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
One year after the BC Teachers’ Federation won its landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision over the provincial government restoring its collective agreement, the cost and ramifications of the ruling continue to roll out in School District 43. And one of those costs is for additions for schools currently under construction. Tuesday, the district announced it had spent $21.1 million on additional teachers and education assistants for smaller classes and to support special needs students, and is seeking $2.5 million from the province for extra help for teachers where classes are in violation of the collective agreement. SD43 also needs $20.7 million for classroom additions — including additional classrooms for Smiling Creek elementary and Banting middle, two schools being built, as well as money to buy new or relo-
cate existing portables. The cash is needed to help the district deal with the ramifications of the Supreme Court decision last November, when the collective agreement was restored, including class size and composition ratios. And according to SD43, many classes are still not compliant. As many as 780 classes don’t meet the collective agreement requirements and affected teachers have the right to request support in the form of additional preparation time, opportunities for co-teaching or support from special resource teachers. (This isn’t uncommon; in Victoria, the number is 900 and in Vancouver the number of class size-and composition violations is 2,000, according to the BC Teachers’ Federation.) Meanwhile, a mini building boom is required to provide additional classroom space. SD43 has about $10 million in its capital fund — about half what’s needed for portables and building additions at Dr. Charles Best secondary, Panorama, Smiling Creek and Westwood elementary schools, and Banting middle. Ken Christensen, president
of the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association, is not surprised at the degree to which local schools have to play catchup now that the collective agreement and class size and composition ratios have been restored. “The effect of that [earlier government legislation stripping the contract] was that composition went crazy,” he said. “The needs in those classes went incredibly high. It’s the first meaningful relief for enrolling teachers in the better part of 20 years.” As for schools being built too small for students, Christensen said that’s a longstanding problem in which construction funds are advanced to accommodate current enrolment rather than future enrolment. The school district has to wait until the February budget to find out whether its request for $10 million for portables and building additions will be approved. “That’s a little worrying,” Christensen said. “They make these applications for these funds with the Supreme Court victory and the implication from that is that they’ll get that, but one never knows.”

CHRISTMAS GIVING
2 drives kick off Tues. to help those in need If you have a warm coat to donate, the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders’ Association (GVHBA) will collect it and donate it to a child in need. GVHBA members have been providing drop-off locations for people to donate lightly used and new coats since 1995. This year, the campaign runs from Nov. 14 through Dec. 1, with 57 GVHBA member companies — including half a dozen in the Tri-Cities — offering drop-off locations across 13 cities. Last year, Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,600 gently used and new coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new toys for distribution to children of all ages. Coats for teens are in high demand. Even though some teens fit adult sizing, the coats need to appeal their age group. Buying new items for donations is also an option, along with donating scarves, hats, gloves and new, unwrapped toys (hockey sticks, soccer and basketballs, and art supplies are always a hit). Drop-off locations in the TriCities include:

CRIME
2 weeks in jail for assault of bus driver GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News
A 22-year-old Port Moody women was sentenced to 14 days in jail for spitting in the face of a bus driver in Coquitlam last year. Lakota Morningstar Kakakaway was convicted of assault earlier this month stemming from an incident that occurred on board the 97B line in June 2016. According to transit police, the woman was intoxicated when she got on the bus at Lougheed Station and had been told repeatedly by the driver to stop swearing. When she did not comply, she was asked to get off the bus at
the stop just north of Austin Avenue, where she spat in the driver’s face before getting into a taxi and leaving the area. In the decision, the judge noted the vulnerability of public transit operators and said spitting on a driver was “an act of disrespect and one posing serious danger of transmitting serious disease through saliva,” according to a press release from the Vancouver Transit Police. “It is gratifying to see the recognition from the courts regarding the serious nature of assaults on bus operators,” said Vancouver Transit Police chief Doug LePard. “While this young woman had a history of negative police contacts, she
did not have a previous criminal record. This is an extraordinary outcome for a first offence and sends a strong message to other offenders and front-line transit staff.” Police also noted that since the beginning of 2017, there have been 79 reported incidents of assault on bus operators.

OUR OPINION
INGRID RICE
Keeping it civil
Canadians are to be forgiven if they are confused about what language is appropriate in public institutions. On the one hand, the F-bomb is OK in French-language broadcasts, according to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, which ruled that a Quebec music radio station didn’t violate rules by airing clips of celebrities using the word as part of public speeches because the word doesn’t mean as much in French. On the other, B.C. parliamentarians are being told not to use insulting language to each other, raising hue and cry among the media and BC Liberal MLAs who were apparently taunted by insulting nicknames, such as “minister of job loss” or “minister of intimidation,” when they were in power and want the same privilege now they are in opposition. But these questions of language aren’t really that confusing. The government, which serves the people, should be held to a much higher standard than a music radio station. It’s time that ministers of the Crown and members of the opposition elevated their language. We’re not paying them to act like unschooled toddlers on the playground.
WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
SHOULD MLAS BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TRADITION OF USING INSULTING NICKNAMES IN THE LEGISLATURE?
LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:
DO YOU SUPPORT A PROPOSED BAN ON UNION AND CORPORATE DONATIONS FOR MUNICIPAL POLITICIANS?

$5.8B doesn’t go as far it once did at BC Hydro I had one task: Find out how successful were the cuts at BC Hydro following former premier Christy Clark’s “hard look” at the Crown corporation in 2011? The first step: Find the utility’s 2016/’17 Financial Information Act Return. And there it was — after scrolling through the 188 pages — $236,698 to Retirement Concepts Seniors Services. Everything went south from there. It was a bit of a head-scratcher. Must DERMOD TRAVIS have been for someone else at BC Hydro because there’s a $39,865 payment to Headscratchers LLP. So, checking Clark’s 2011 hyperbole against actual results went out the window in favour of another question: Exactly how did BC Hydro spend $5.8 billion on goods and services last year? First, the tax man cometh — better known as how to balance a provincial budget creatively. Say goodbye to $566 million to the B.C. government, local governments ($165 million), payments to First Nations ($24.9 million) and a $39.4 million payment into the corporation’s pension plans. The two pension plans are one of the lesser known ticking time NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

bombs at the utility. Another actuarial review will take place in 2018, but right now they face a shortfall of $1.6 billion. The utility’s wholly owned energy trading arm, Powerex, accounted for $803 million. After that, it didn’t take much for the utility to blow through another $3.3 billion. In fact, it only took 89 suppliers, among them many of the former government’s best pals. The utility’s financial return is also interesting for who’s in it and who isn’t. Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. owns, or has an interest in, eight independent power facilities in B.C. but the company isn’t listed among the suppliers. The facilities are, though. Add them all up and the total is $75 million after adjusting for the ownership stake Innergex holds in each. Duz Cho Construction ($20.8 million) did well, possibly all of it through a direct award contract for work on Site C. The construction firm has former transportation minister Blair Lekstrom in its corner, as a lobbyist. His 2013 mandate reads in part: “[to assist] Duz Cho Construction... negotiate opportunities with BC Hydro.” The developers behind Vancouver’s Trump Tower — West Georgia Development Ltd. — collected $40,061. The law firm that had former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s name on the door until last year is down for $4.4 million. Canada’s finance minister didn’t do too badly. His family firm,
Morneau Shepell Ltd., billed $999,758. If tolls are any indication, the Port Mann bridge ($103,129) proved more popular with Hydro staff than the Golden Ears ($42,055), which proved more popular than WestJet ($27,485). Even Air Canada came in at only $169,645, which is odd since the utility’s employees claimed $36.3 million in expenses last year, an average of roughly $6,000 per employee. At least 10 expensed more than $50,000 and one came in tops at $109,574, and it wasn’t former president and CEO Jessica McDonald ($43,379). What’s missing from the return? In what must be a first for a B.C. government operation, companies that have “shred” in their name. As for the 2011 cost-cutting, another 40 severance agreements were signed with non-unionized staff — that’s on top of the 175 signed since 2013/’14 — some representing up to 18 months in pay. There’s another ticking time bomb in the return buried on page 55 in the second to last note to the financial statements: “A contractor has filed a Notice to Arbitrate a claim against BC Hydro. BC Hydro has filed a counterclaim.” I don’t recommend spending any of Clark’s hyperbole when it comes to the 2011 “cost-cutting.” The results don’t match the spin.

SITE C & ELECTRICITY
Reopen Burrard Thermal? The Editor, Last week, the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC) published a report that stated it is unlikely B.C. will need the energy from the Site C dam, calling previous projections “excessively optimistic” while also stating that it is possible that demand might be lower than the lowest demand scenario used by BC Hydro. Additionally, it is unlikely the Site C project will be on time or on budget. As the BCUC pointed out, the Burrard Thermal plant in Port Moody could “be refurbished as an important strategic asset for BC Hydro” — a plant that can provide equivalent dispatchable energy capacity to Site C. Burrard Thermal plant is a relatively clean-burning, gaspowered generating station that costs only $20 million a year to operate, much less than the $55 million annually for a private gas plant the province currently uses on Vancouver island — a plant that produces less electrical capacity, is less reliable (particularly for the lower mainland) and is more

The Burrard Thermal power plant in Port Moody would be a good backup instead of Site C, says the letter writer. polluting. It seems hypocritical that B.C. cannot use a clean-burning power plant for backup because it burns natural gas when some critics argue the only reason for the Site C dam is to power the LNG or fracking industry. Many people were worried that the BCUC report would be too narrow in scope for a project with such a complex array
of economic, environmental and human rights issues. But the report hints at the human rights costs of displacing the peoples of the Treaty 8 Nations and flooding their sacred sites. There are many short-term jobs associated with this project and no one wants people to be unemployed. At the BCUC hearings, contrary to expectations of the issues they
would address, activists from the Sierra Club spoke about how the money saved from stopping this “boondoggle” should go to training workers into sustainable energy or other industries that provide more long-term job stability. Additionally, a 2016 report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives outlined how a major push for public and private retrofitting and transit expansion could create thousands of long-term, wellpaying jobs while at the same time promoting the cheapest form of energy: energy conservation. Now is not the time for an outdated project that was not even favourable in the 1980s; now is the time for bold new ideas and industries that do not infringe on human rights or destroy our future food security (researchers from UBC argue that the dam would destroy prime agricultural land). And just in case we do need a little more energy from time to time, why not have the clean, reliable Burrard Thermal on standby Amy Lubik, Port Moody
TRANSPORTATION
No new taxes, just use the carbon tax The Editor, Re. “Problem with transportation in Metro is the province” (Letters, The TriCity News, Nov. 3). In response to Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore’s letter: Metro Vancouver’s mayors did not get the message from the transportation referendum result: NO MORE TAXES. Build your 10-year vision when you have the
money in the bank. Unfortunately, the new provincial government will find a way to replace the toll removal by imposing more taxes on all motorists. I do agree on one thing Mayor Moore said, to dedicate not a small portion of the carbon tax to transportation but, I say, all of it — problem solved. Tony Paone, Port Coquitlam

Belcarra pair issues SVFD challenge Fire department raising $ for new breathing gear JANIS CLEUGH
The Tri-CiTy News
Kim and Lynda Alfreds have a burning desire to make a difference in their new home of Belcarra. The West Vancouver natives, who moved to the village north of Port Moody two years ago from Whistler, watched from their waterfront home in April as two unoccupied houses on Turtlehead Road burned to the ground. From the other side of the peninsula, they could see the flames shoot up 300 feet and how the volunteer firefighters in the forested community were trying to prevent trees from catching fire. Last year, the pair made three donations to the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department, a 45-member team — one of the largest of its kind in B.C. — that serves Anmore and Belcarra: an anonymous cash contribution; the winning proceeds of a 60/40 draw, held at a village picnic at Belcarra Regional Park; and fire gear Kim Alfreds used as a licensed ship’s captain for fire training.
Now, the Alfreds are challenging their neighbours to help with the fire department’s $170,000 fundraiser to purchase new, lighter selfcontained breathing apparatus that will match equipment used by firefighters in PoMo. This month only — as “November is national gratitude month,” Kim Alfreds said — the pair is asking residents in the 33 households on their street, Belcarra Bay Road, to top up the fund, which is about $65,000 shy of its goal. And money brought in as part of the Alfreds’ challenge will be matched by the family — in its entirety. “I’ve been noticing the needle hasn’t moved much this year,” he said of the SVFD drive, “so I’m hoping this will change that.” So far, their challenge — which SVFD announced Nov. 4 via Twitter — has generated $500, although they’re confident more will come in. The Alfreds also hope their street challenge will spark others in Belcarra, which has 230 homes, and in Anmore, which has a population of around 2,500 residents. Neil Belenkie, a SVFD firefighter and a fundraising organizer, praised the couple for their initiative. “We don’t take for granted how fortunate our fire department is to have

Belcarra Bay Road residents Kim and Lynda Alfreds are challenging their neighbours to donate to the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department, which has a fundraiser to purchase new self-contained breathing apparatus for its fire crew. Money raised by the 39 households on their street will be matched by the Alfreds.
CHIEF TO RETIRE Coquitlam Fire Chief Wade Pierlot will be swapping his uniform for a tool belt after announcing he will be retiring in the new year. The 58-year-old said he is hoping to spend more time with his grandchildren and has a few renovation projects around the house he has been meaning to get to. Pierlot oversaw Coquitlam’s fire department during an eventful period in the city’s history. Over the last five years, the former Vancouver firefighter has been at the helm for the opening of the Evergreen Extension as well as many new highrise developments. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

REMEMBRANCE DAY
Coquitlam vets come together, share stories JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News
About 1,500 students at Dr. Charles Best secondary had a living history lesson yesterday to launch the Remembrance Day long weekend. Maria Bruneau and other social studies teachers at the Coquitlam school organized the service, with the help of Coquitlam Legion member and retired UN peacekeeper Bob Sutherland, to talk about the military service of some Coquitlam veterans, including three men who saw action during the Second World War. Their black-and-white photos from the mid 1940s — when they were only a couple of years older than the Best students they spoke to Thursday — as well as images of their service medals were projected before the school assembly. Afterward, students got a chance to speak with the vets

and to shake their hands. “The kids are so interested in their stories,” Bruneau said. “They want to take it all in and thank them for what they did for Canada.” The three featured WWII vets — longtime Coquitlam residents Norm Bonin, Russell Hellard and John ‘Doc’ Cumbers — say they enjoy getting out to the schools around Nov. 11 to share their war tales
and talk about the sacrifices made. “We want to make them aware of what our contributions were and hope this doesn’t happen again,” Bonin said during an interview with The Tri-City News at the Coquitlam Legion branch. Their stories are vital as the number of WWII vets is shrinking, Bruneau and Sutherland said. According to Veterans
Affairs Canada, there were about 88,400 WWII vets still alive in 2014, most over 90, and at least 50 of them die every day. But while the vets like to pay homage to their fallen comrades, they don’t like to go into specifics about their efforts; rather, they speak about the lead-up to their service and what happened afterward. Bonin was 19 in 1940 when he enlisted with the Royal

Canadian Air Force. He was interested in aviation and took his ground training in Vancouver and St. Thomas, Ont., where the then-New Westminster resident gained skills as an aero-engine mechanic. In 1943, Bonin was sent to England to service the Halifax and Lancaster bomber planes for the Allied squadrons based out of Durham and Yorkshire. Although away from the battlefield, aircraft maintenance is considered a front-line service, Sutherland said, as the personnel were the first to see the crews when they left and when they returned. There were plenty of hazards associated with the work, the 96-year-old Bonin said. One night, German planes swooped down on their Yorkshire airfield and knocked out a plane. “Everybody was issued with a rifle in case they came in for more,” he said. After D-Day, Bonin re-
turned to Canada to prepare for the Tiger Force in Okinawa when, during his training in Yarmouth, N.S., he got the news. “We didn’t get to go because of the atomic bomb,” he said, referring to the Hiroshima explosion on Aug. 6, 1945. Hellard was on active duty in Darwin, Australia, when his mission came to a halt. He’d enlisted in Toronto, following in the steps of his two brothers, and did his basic military training in northern Ontario. There, he was asked to join the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals and, soon, was in “dots and dashes” training in Kingston. Hellard trained more in Victoria before getting on a hospital ship for a 30-day voyage to Australia, where a signals Allied camp was set up to aid war efforts in the Pacific. see ‘WE SHOULDN’T’, next page

Now, the 93-year-old writes about veterans’ experiences and runs a group out of the Dogwood Pavilion seniors’ centre in Coquitlam. He has also appeared at Remembrance Day assemblies at Banting middle and Centennial secondary schools. The most decorated of the three, John ‘Doc’ Cumbers was only 17 when he enlisted with the RCAF in Winnipeg. His parents were involved in war efforts — his dad was a First World War army vet, his mom
with the Royal Canadian Navy and, after discharge, he became a Vancouver firefighter for 32 years, retiring in 1985. Today, the 92-year-old — who has a great-grandson in the same RCAF squadron with which he served — spends part of his Mondays and Fridays volunteering at the Coquitlam RCMP community police station on Ridgeway Avenue. “I like to give back to my community and I like talking with the kids about the war,” Cumbers said, adding: “History is something we shouldn’t forget.”
handled military mail — and his older brother was in the RCAF. He trained around the east coast, receiving his wings from Canadian WWI ace Billy Bishop before being sent to England in 1943 as a gunner. Between December of that year and October 1944, Sgt. Cumbers successfully flew 39 trips, including on D-Day, on June 6, 1944. Last year, Cumbers was honoured by the French government with that country’s highest military medal: the Legion d’Honneur.

A former Coquitlam resident won this year’s Governor General Literary Award for translation. Oana Avasilichioaei, who is also a poet and multimedia performer, took the prize for her book Readopolis — a translation of Lectodôme by Bernard Laverdure and published by Le Quartanier. It is her first Governor General’s literary accolade, of which the jury wrote: “In Readopolis, Oana Avasilichioaei has risen to and matched the stylistic acrobatics of Bertrand Laverdure’s Lectodôme. The many voices of Quebecois writing sing through in this intelligent translation — a vertiginous ode to the pure, if rarely rewarded, pursuit of literature.” Avasilichioaei is now based in Montreal. She will receive her award from Gov.-Gen. Julie Payette on Nov. 29 at Rideau Hall.

HERITAGE WOODS
Future is bright for Kodiaks field hockey Team’s return to provincials a surprise to everyone but themselves
the championship round and a spot in the provincials. “That just boosted them,” Chin said. And while the team lost the final, 1-0 to perennial powerhouse South Delta, May said their confidence is unbowed. “We’re stronger than we thought, once we get into the zone,” she said. That bodes well for the team heading into the provincials, Chin said. And for the future of the Kodiaks, Heisler said. “One thing we know for sure, win or lose at provincials, the future is bright for Kodiak field hockey in the years to come,” she said.
MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Clare Heisler isn’t surprised her Heritage Woods Kodiaks field hockey team is going to the provincial championships that begin Nov. 15 in Richmond despite finishing fifth in Coquitlam district league play. After all, the team has already overcome longer odds. At the beginning of the 2016 season, the Kodiaks almost ceased to exist despite a long record of successes that included Coquitlam district championships and a bronze medal at the 2013 AAA provincials. Their coach was gone and a replacement was proving hard to come by. Even a tweet by Field Hockey BC to help find the team a coach came up empty. Eventually, Clare’s dad, Colin, stepped in. But his background was in ice hockey, and the team’s late start put him behind the eight ball to find new players to fill holes left in the roster by those who had graduated the previous spring. The Kodiaks were ousted from the Fraser Valley district championships when they lost a wild card game in a shootout. “This was quite the devastation for our team,” Heisler said. So last spring, Heisler and a few of her fellow seniors on the team set out to find a coach who could attract young players, work with them to teach them the skills and tactics that could restore the team to its championship ways and, more importantly, ensure continuity.
CORNELL ALL-STAR
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Players from the Heritage Woods Kodiaks practise as they prepare for the high school AAA field hockey provincial finals, to be played in Richmond Nov. 15 to 17. They pitched the coach of their Tri-City Eagles club team, Raquel Chin. But there were a couple of complications; Chin teaches at Riverside secondary and she wasn’t sure how her daughters who play for the Kodiaks, Jade and Jewel Lew, would feel about having their mom as their coach. When all parties gave their blessing, Chin was on board. She got to work right away, organizing a team meeting in June. She also asked Colin Heisler to stay on as her associ-
ate; he had worked so hard to learn the game and developed a rapport with the players that would serve the team well going forward. “I’m very organized,” Chin said of hitting the turf running. “The players had to feel like they were being taken care of.” One of them is Grade 10 defender Allison May, who’d missed her chance to join the team when she was in Grade 9 because of the uncertainty about its future. She said she was excited to make the team
in the fall, and the camaraderie created by its grass-roots effort to stay alive has benefitted her game. “The intensity has brought the team together,” May said. “We really support each other. We share a lot of knowledge out there.” Chin said melding a team of young players who are still learning field hockey with experienced veterans can be a delicate balancing act. The season didn’t get off to the best start, but as it progressed, she
could see things falling into place. “We were able to watch ourselves progress,” she said of her charges. “They could see the growth and their skill level improve.” So much so the Kodiaks won both their games on the opening day of the Fraser Valleys, including an upset shootout victory over the league champion Gleaneagle Talons, who’d beaten them twice during the regular season. That guaranteed Heritage Woods a place in
Port Moody secondary school grad Sam McIlwrick, who’s now a senior at Cornell University and a back for the Big Red field hockey team, was a unanimous selection to the Ivy League conference first allstar team that was announced on Tuesday. McIlwrick anchored Cornell’s defence, which posted the third lowest goalagainst average in the Ivy League, and the 18th lowest in the nation. That defence also held opponents to five shots on goal or less in half of their 16 games. McIlwrick also had success in the offensive zone. Her five goals was second best on the team and she ranked third in points with 12. It’s the second straight year McIlwrick has been named to the first all-star team, after she was a second-team all-star in her freshman year. Cornell wrapped up its season last Sunday with a 2-1 win over Dartmouth College. The Big Red finished with 10 wins and six losses overall. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

NIELSEN, Audrie
Audrie left her footprints in our hearts as she peacefully slipped away to join the love of her life (Ron Nielsen, September 26, 1929 - February 3, 2004). Mom will be missed by her son Randy (granddaughter Kate and grandson Dan (Vickie) who delighted her with four great-grandchildren; daughter Holley, daughter Tammy (Hunter) and her two children Paige and Wyatt, who were the apple of their Nana’s eye. Born in rural Wawota, Saskatchewan with her family of nine during the depression Mom was a champion at recycling! Audrie’s devotion was for her family; she was creative and curious, always engaged and interested in the world. She lived with passion and compassion, in good humour and style, with generosity and kindness. Music and song were her oxygen; a cup of orange pekoe tea her elixir. No amount of thank you is enough for the Nurses and Care Aids at Eagle Ridge Manor and her music therapist Katherine. Companion Miriam and son Ali’s love gave her final few years exceptional quality for which we are eternally grateful for. Please join us at 2pm to share refreshments, music and memories in the Fireside Lounge on November 24, 2017 at Burquitlam Funeral Chapel (located at the Side Entrance) at 625 North Road, Coquitlam. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated.
