Douglas Royals forward Sofia Flores-Aguilera reacts to a missed scoring chance in the team’s second-round match against the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology Trojans at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association women’s national soccer championships, which wrapped up Saturday at Coquitlam’s Percy Perry Stadium. The Royals, who were ranked eighth in the country headed into the eight-team tournament, rebounded from a first-round loss to win their next two matches and earn a place in the bronze medal match against Ontario’s Fanshawe College. The Falcons won the match 2-1 on a goal in the 83rd minute that broke a 1-1 tie. The tournament was won by the Champlain St-Lambert Cavaliers, who defeated another Quebec school, Elans de Garneau, 3-2, in the gold medal match. Douglas midfielder Samantha Kell was named an All-Canadian, and defender Preet Thandi was a tournament all-star. For more sports, see pages 23 and 24.
The dream of $10-a-day child care is closer for dozens of Coquitlam families whose daycares have been chosen for a provincial pilot project that substantially reduces or eliminates fees. Kids Cottage Daycare Society, Hami’s Playhouse Infant and Toddler Daycare and Little Scholars YMCA Child Care are among 53 organizations across B.C. chosen to participate in an 18-month trial to evaluate models for a universal child care system. Families will pay just $200 a month per child for daycare and possibly less if they are already receiving a subsidy because of their income. see A ‘GAME CHANGER’, page 8

Port Moody reMeMbrance day
Port Moody marked Remembrance Day with a solemn ceremony in the bright sunshine at the cenotaph in front of the arts centre on Sunday. The ceremony, hosted by Legion branch 119, included a twominute moment of silence, a fly past of vintage planes and a 21-gun salute by the Seymour Artillery cannon. The service was preceded by a parade featuring the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band.

CRIME
The Tri-CiTy News
A charge has been laid in the death of a man last week at a Port Coquitlam home. Edward Poorman is facing one count of second-degree murder in the death of 36-yearold Jonathon Shingoose. Poorman was expected to appear in court Tuesday. “IHIT investigators, supported by the Coquitlam RCMP, steadfastly worked to compile the evidence for charge approval consideration by Crown counsel,” said Cpl. Frank Jang of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. “Our police investigation is ongoing. It has been turned over to the B.C. Prosecution Service and the matter will be before the court.” The killing occurred Nov. 4, at around 6 a.m. when an altercation broke out at a home in the 2300-block of Atkins Avenue.

PORT COQUITLAM REMEMBRANCE DAY
Young and old gathered at Port Coquitlam’s Veterans Park on Sunday for the annual Remembrance Day service to commemorate the sacrifices of war. The event included a parade up Shaughnessy Street, calling the roll of locals who had been lost in wars as well as a moment of silence. It was followed by a reception at the Port Coquiltam Legion that featured a choir performance, live music and dances by the Penk O’Donnell Dancers, Golden Spike Dancers and the Dunvegan Dance Academy.

EAGLE RIDGE HOSPITAL
ERH changes impacting nurses, says BCNU prez PATH program relocating to PoMo hospital JaNis ClEUgH
The Tri-CiTy News
Changes are underway this week at Port Moody’s Eagle Ridge Hospital (ERH) and Queen’s Park Care Centre in New Westminster for people receiving inpatient rehabilitation for stroke, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, hip fractures and amputations. A new regional centre has been created at Queen’s Park, resulting in the transfer of the high-intensity rehab unit at ERH to the Royal City facility and the relocation of the Patient Assessment and Transition to Home (PATH) unit from Queen’s Park Care Centre to ERH. “This will facilitate access to key services and supports available in the hospital, like medical imaging, and maintain the complementary relationship between Eagle Ridge and Royal Columbian Hospitals for patients who require a longer recovery
CHRISTINE SORENSEN period before they return to their home,” said Tasleem Juma, Fraser Health’s senior consultant for public affairs. The out-patient rehab clinic, serving Tri-City and Ridge Meadows patients, will stay at ERH while a respite care program is also shifting from Queen’s Park to Eagle Ridge Manor, next to the PoMo hospital. The hospital transfers were due to happen in August but a Section 54 was placed on Fraser Health by the unions with staff at both institutions. That rule requires an employer to give at least 60 days’ notice before work conditions are changed for staff. Christine Sorensen, BC Nurses’ Union president, told The Tri-City News about
200 nurses are affected by the moves. And “while we appreciate that the employer has the right and responsibility for care… there should be some due consideration for the nurses’ lives, too.” “This has been very disruptful and has added stress to their lives,” she said, noting her union continues to receive emails from nurses who have concerns with their new job sites. Juma said Fraser Health has worked closely with the BCNU as well as the Hospital Employees’ Union and the Health Sciences Association to provide employment flexibility. “This is an important part of the process as we change the way we will deliver rehabilitation services across the region,” Juma said. “While a staff member’s location and context of work may change, they will remain employed by Fraser Health.” FHA’s changes started a year ago with the relocation of 19 acute-care-for-theelderly beds from Royal Columbian Hospital to ERH, and the recruitment of two geriatric doctors. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
Funding for Burke Mtn. school sought Diane StranDBerg The Tri-CiTy News
PARENT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING
A joint middle/secondary school for Burke Mountain and hopes for an updated funding formula that puts more dollars in School District 43 coffers are among the issues facing the new board of education, according to chair Barb Hobson. The veteran Coquitlam trustee, who is serving her second stint as chair in 11 years on the board, said she is looking forward to working with three new trustees and five returning members, and expects the group to work well together. “We’ve got three new voices and some seasoned trustees,” said Hobson, who was on the board from 1996 to 2003, took a break for 12 years and was elected in 2014 and this year. Hobson was acclaimed to the post of chair while Christine Pollock, a newly elected Port Coquitlam trustee who is also a retired SD43 education assistant, was elected vice-chair over Craig Woods, a rookie Coquitlam trustee who also put his name in for the post. Also elected to the board were, in Coquitlam newcomer Jennifer Blatherwick and Carol Cahoon; Michael Thomas in Port Coquitlam; and Lisa
Tri-City moms and dads interested in getting involved in the District Parent Advisory Council for School District 43 may want to check out the next meeting Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. The meeting, to be held in the Gallery Room at Winslow Centre (1100 Winslow Ave., Coquitlam), will include a report from SD43 superintendent Patricia Gartland, a discussion about conflict resolution, information about the district budget and how parent advisory councils can get involved and other issues. For more information, go to dpac43.ca. Park and Keith Watkins in Port Moody. Kerri Palmer Isaak was acclaimed in Anmore/ Belcarra. With the Oct. 20 election now in the rearview mirror, trustees will be working on a number of fronts, including funding advocacy, updating the Directions 2020 strategic plan, working with the cities on ways to increase child care options in the Tri-Cities, and staying informed on union bargaining for teachers and support workers. Hobson said she hopes to hear soon from the province on an update to the education funding, formula which she said has resulted in lower funding for Tri-City students compared to other Metro
Vancouver districts. “We’re looking for equity. We’re lower funded than the other districts in the Lower Mainland and there doesn’t seem to be any explanation for that,” Hobson said. As well, the board and district staff will continue to lobby for funds to build the new joint middle-secondary school on Burke Mountain, needed because more people are moving to the area. “The board has advanced funding for the design of the building so when we do receive funding we can go forward with it,” Hobson said. The next board of education meeting is Nov. 20. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

$10-A-DAY DAYCARE PILOT
A ‘game changer for families’: Willard
BL AC K FRIDAY
continued from front page
The program announced last week will enable the government to see the best way of delivering a universal child care program and given that there are a wide variety of daycare models — from private, to corporate and non-profit — all three types of daycares are participating in the pilot. “This program is a game changer for families,” said Nathan Willard, who chairs the parent-run Kids Cottage Daycare Society. He said many of Kids Cottage’s 54 families are shelling out child care fees that are the equivalent of a monthly mortgage payment. “Now that we’ve got this opportunity, it’s allowed parents to reevaluate options they otherwise would not have had,” Willard said. With families saving as much as $930 for a child in infant/toddler care, $540 a month for daycare for three- to five-year-olds and $195 for before- and afterschool care, families have more money for extracurricular activities or to save for their child’s education, or are simply feeling less stress because the fee break means a relief to household budgets, Willard said.

Converting 2,500 licensed child care spaces, with a priority on infant and toddler spaces, into low-cost spaces is expected to cost $60 million, with funds coming from the province’s early learning and child care agreement with the federal government.
More than 300 applications for prototypes were reviewed and chosen sites reflect the diversity of B.C.’s geography, population, program types and operational models, according to background information provided by the province. Continuing with the initiative and possibly expanding it after March 31, 2020 isn’t a done deal, however, and will require a renewal of the early learning and child care bilateral agreement with Ottawa, the backgrounder further stated. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

BC HOUSING
$30M for affordable housing in Coquitlam Money will be used to build 300 new units Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News
Seniors, people with disabilities and families will benefit from more than $30 million in provincial funding to be spent on affordable housing units in Coquitlam. The projects were announced Tuesday as the province moves forward with plans to build 4,900 affordable mixed-income housing units across the province. Under the Building BC: Community fund, participants had until mid-September to apply for funding and three Coquitlam proponents won their bids, resulting in more than 300 affordable housing units being built in the city. A spokesperson for BC Housing said the projects have been identified, but it’s early days in the development process. Rajvir Rao said BC Housing will work with the societies to finalize the projects over the next few months. According to a backgrounder provided by the
JILL ATKEY province, the funding will aid in the development of a co-op and two below-market rental projects. The projects will result in 70 units for families being built with $7 million in provincial funding at 3100 Ozada Ave. by the Affordable Housing Societies group, 131 units for families with $13.1 million at 2905 Glen Drive to be built by the Community Land Trust and 100 units geared to families, seniors and people with disabilities at 551 Emerson St. to be built with $10 million in provincial funding by Concert Real Estate as part of a large redevelopment project in the Burquitlam neighbourhood. The province’s new Building BC: Community Housing Fund, a $1.9-billion
investment over 10 years, is expected to construct more than 14,000 affordable rental homes for seniors, families and low- and middle-income earners, with many to include child care, according to a press release. The 4,900 homes announced this week are the first set of projects selected through this fund and will be built over the next two to three years. “This historic investment in the community housing sector is an investment in British Columbians struggling to find safe, secure and affordable housing,” said Jill Atkey, CEO of the BC Non-Profit Housing Association. “Non-profit housing partners are hard at work turning these dollars into homes and are committed to ensuring that what is affordable in our sector today, will remain affordable for generations to come.” The province, through BC Housing, selected the first set of projects based on a number of criteria, including the type of clients and the impact the project is expected to have in reducing the community’s affordable rental housing need. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION
Given the BC Liberals’ record on poverty, it’s time they pitch in T he bC Liberals may have been playing “gotcha” when they outed NdP MLa Mabel Elmore for claiming $61 a day in expenses when she was only supposed to be spending $19 a week on food as part of a poverty challenge. but by doing so they raise a number of important issues. Elmore and her staff must have been brain dead not to catch this gaffe, which just proves that daily stipend for food in b.C.’s capital city without receipts should be rethought. The vancouver MLa may be planning to pay back the $244 she claimed but the bookkeeping error cast doubt DELIVERY 604-472-3040 NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 cLASSIfIED ADS 604-444-3056 n
on what should have been a good initiative and raised images of fat-cat politicians dining on the taxpayer’s dime while children go hungry. Still, the bC Liberals shouldn’t be smiling too broadly at this PR victory because they, too, get the stipend. More importantly, under the previous bC Liberal government, poverty was a problem — and still is. according to first Call, a coalition of child and youth advocacy groups, one in five children in b.C. lives in poverty, higher than the national average, and poverty rates among recent immigrant chil-
TC
dren, off-reserve aboriginal children and visible minority children are much higher. In 2015, for example, under Christy Clark and the bC Liberals’ watch, poor families with two children had median incomes that were $11,000 below the poverty line, meaning that more than half of them were in even deeper poverty, according to first Call. What happened under the bC Liberals’ watch: housing prices went through the roof and homelessness increased in recent years in the Tri-Cities; the food banks continued to support families on income assistance rates; high daycare costs
squeezed families further; and rents and food costs continued to stretch people’s budgets. While the poverty challenge is a good way to highlight the issue, it loses some of its punch when politicians take it on for a short period, only to return to their high-spending ways. If the bC Liberals want to tackle child poverty, they should help the NdP government flesh out and fast-track anti-poverty legislation that was introduced this fall. Instead of embarrassing one of their colleagues, it’s time for all politicians in the legislature to work together to tackle poverty on every front.

ELECTORAL REFERENDUM
Don’t chop trees
The Editor, I live very near to Blue Mountain Park in Coquitlam. I was walking there today and saw that bright pink plastic ties had been put around a number of trees near the cenotaph. I hope the city of Coquitlam’s parks maintenance people are not planning to cut down those beautiful mature trees. As well, a number of other trees have had metal, numbered tags attached to them. I worry also about the safety of those trees. Blue Mountain Park has wonderful landscaping. The park becomes more special as the trees become older; every one of them adds to the ambience.

Don’t fear change in voting – it’s needed The Editor, B.C.’s two main provincial political parties seem to be squared off on the electoral reform referendum. Unfortunately, the media portrays proportional representation (PR) as a win-lose partisan issue and not what it should be seen as from the voters’ perspective. We are all voters and that right to have some power to select — or cast out — those who govern us is fundamental to our democracy. This right is more important than loyalty towards and preference for any one party. Voters know that the party
REMEMBRANCE DAY
THE REASON FOR NOv. 11 The Editor, I attended the Port Coquitlam Remembrance Day ceremony. As I walked to the cenotaph, I met this veteran (above). I thanked him for his service.
He responded: “I’m thinking of my guys that didn’t make it.” He represented the reason for this day. Kathy Oughton, Port Coquitlam
that seems to best fit our views does not always hear, let alone debate in the legislature, many of our important concerns. Change is needed to update a system built more than a hundred years ago. Clearly, change has always been an improvement in voters’ rights. Only wealthy white, male property/business owners could vote when the system was built. Now, women, all people of colour, race, religion, renters and citizens in general have this right, as limited as it is. And that is the point: proportional representation
improves the limit of what our vote can influence. Regardless of which exact model and its details is eventually adopted, all PR models will mean every vote will count towards improved and expanded points of view being heard and debated. We are no longer a twoparty province. A majority of people do not even bother to vote. Often, 60% of votes are wasted with no influence. Do not fear change. Proportional representation is simply a much needed improvement and better for all voters. Bernie Archer, Coquitlam

CHRISTMAS GIVING
Kids need coats in addition to toys this winter The annual Coats for Kids campaign is set to keep children warm, and the hearts of donators in the process, this winter with seven drop-off spots in the Tri-Cities. Organizers of the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders Association’s 23rd annual campaign, which runs until Nov. 30, hope to break last year’s record of 6,500 coats. They are looking for lightly used and new coats, plus new toys to support the Lower Mainland and Surrey Christmas bureaus. “People think of toys and food around this time of year

but keeping kids warm is an essential need for every parent too; especially during the colder winter months,” said Chris Bayless of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau in a press release. “Watching the
relief on a parent’s face who finds a size-appropriate coat for their child is a good feeling.” Coats for teenagers are always in high demand. Although some teens fit adult sizes, the coats need to appeal
to their age group, said the release, suggesting hoodies are a popular choice. The campaign is also looking to collect toys for teens and pre-teens, grooming supplies, hair products and appliances.

This week is national collection week for the international relief charity Samaritan’s Purse. And for its third year, a Coquitlam church will accept gift boxes on behalf of the organization to help boys and girls in the Ukraine, Sierra Leone, Costa Rica, Haiti, Guinea and Guinea Bissau. Since 2016, Northside Foursquare Church — a 600-strong congregation that worships at 1460 Lansdowne Dr. — has collected 4,300 boxes for the cause, with the help of the community. It has delivered hundreds of boxes to other Tri-City churches as well as Your Dollar Store (1960 Como Lake Ave., Coquitlam), Dollars & Cents (1410 Parkway Blvd., Coquitlam) and Dollar Tree (1097 Nicola Ave., Port Coquitlam) for the public to fill

with toys, hygiene and school supplies, and small musical instruments for kids aged two to 14; food and toothpaste are not permitted. Scarves can be added for Ukraine-bound boxes, and items for tween boys are in urgent need. Donors are also asked to attach $10 to ship their box to the Samaritan’s Purse centre in Calgary. Kate Rawlings, who leads a team of 20 volunteers at Northside, said the gift boxes need to be on the Samaritan’s Purse truck by Saturday, Nov. 17. Drop offs can be made at the church Tuesday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Rawlings said filled boxes can also be dropped off at the La-Z-Boy Furniture store (1338 United Blvd., Coquitlam) and Tri-City Church (2145 Nova Scotia Ave., Port Coquitlam). “Our Operation Christmas Child campaign is something we look forward to every year and we are so pleased with how the community responds,” she said. “The gifts put a smile on so many children’s faces.” jcleugh@tricitynews.com

LIBRARIES & LITERACY
Yeah, YA has good reads A GOOD READ SADIE HENSCHEL
W
hether you love to hate them or hate that you love them, it’s no secret that teen books are gaining popularity with more than just teens. I find myself repeatedly going back to the young adult (YA) shelf for new book inspiration. The following supernatural YA reads are some of my favourites: Throne of Glass, the first book in Sarah J. Maas’ series of the same name, is an exciting novel full of action, twists and a bit of magic. Calaena Sardothien was the city’s greatest assassin until she was betrayed and captured, sent to work out her prison sentence in the Endovier salt mines. A year into her sentence, she is granted freedom on the condition that she will represent the Prince in a competition to find a new royal assassin. When other competitors start dying, Calaena realizes there’s more to the competition than she thinks — and more to her than anyone could ever imagine. Gods interfering with human lives has been a common theme since the ancient Greeks. The immortals are at it again in Martha Brockenbrough’s The Game of Love and Death. Love and Death have competed for centuries, using humans as their players. It’s the Great Depression
and their two newest pawns are Flora, an African American jazz singer who dreams of being a pilot, and Henry, a white bassist and adoptive son of a wealthy newspaper icon. Love has never won but, as the story progresses, the reader is left to wonder if Flora and Henry will be the ones to break this streak. “A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.” Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo takes its readers through the ultimate heist — a job so dangerous that no one in their right mind would accept it. No one except Kaz Brekker, one of the deadliest and most accomplished thieves in The Barrel. But the never-
ending twists, powerful magic and constant double crossing make Kaz wonder if this job may be too much to handle. Bardugo has created rich characters and a plot that continues to surprise. Mix in some magic and adventure, and you won’t be able to put it down. Kelley Armstrong’s The Gathering brings a B.C. connection to its pages. Set in a tiny medical-research community on Vancouver Island, the story follows teenager Maya as she searches for answers to the unexplainable events that start happening around her. Maya doesn’t know where she came from or who her birth parents were — a paw print-shaped birthmark being her only connection to them. But when students start dying in strange ways, mountain lions start approaching her and the new kid takes an unusual interest in her birthmark, Maya realizes her past may hold the answers. Armstrong seamlessly blends the supernatural with the real world to create a riveting, spellbinding story. With strong characters and well-written plots, the books above are just some examples of the engaging teen fiction that can be enjoyed by adults. Look for these and other great YA reads at your local library. A Good Read is a column by TriCity librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Sadie Henschel works at Port Moody Public Library.

Investment Advisor
Q: A:
Licensed Insolvency Trustee
My investment income is important to support my lifestyle. Given the recent stock market volatility, is there anything I can do to protect myself? It is true that market volatility can significantly impact your retirement income but trying to time moving in and out of the stock market without losing is nearly impossible. I find using a CASH WEDGE strategy can help. Most investments exposed to stock market movements are appropriate for investors with a long-term investment horizon – such as throughout retirement. Exposure to equities in your retirement portfolio can help protect your income from the damaging effects of inflation and maintain your real purchasing power through retirement. If you are just entering retirement, starting out with a year or two of negative returns can shrink your pool of capital much faster than if you weren’t drawing income. And, you are not likely to be investing new money so aren’t able to take advantage of the lower prices. The cash wedge is designed to protect from the damaging effects of selling into market declines as you calculate one or two years’ worth of required income, allocating that portion to liquid, conservative investments within your portfolio. Then use this portion to fund your income needs. That way, you are not ‘forced to sell’ shares during volatile times.

A:
How to deal with this situation is going to depend on the answers to three questions: 1. How far behind are you? One month can be caught up, four months means the house is likely going to be foreclosed out, – but there are no certainties, and could be options for either situation. 2. Do you want to stay or have you decided you can’t afford to stay and need to let it go? If you are going to let the house go, consult with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee first to ensure you know how this works.

3. Is there equity and how much equity is there? A small amount of equity may not really be any, and a large amount could open up other options, such as a consumer proposal or refinancing, or both! A Licensed Insolvency Trustee can explain all the options.
Incorporating a cash wedge into your planning allows the rest of your portfolio to participate in the future market recovery, while your income remains stable.

Two Metro Van dogs picked from 50,000 pets to star in Dog Guides calendar Elisia sEEbEr Glacier Media
Metro Vancouver pets Hana, a Great Dane (right), and Winston (far right), a Golden Retriever, have given their owners official ‘I have the cutest dog’ bragging rights. The pooches will soon be pinups in hundreds of thousands of homes across Canada. Pictures of Hana, who won’t go to bed unless her parents make it for her, and Winston, who isn’t very good at retrieving, were selected from nearly 50,000 entries to star in the 2019 Pet Valu calendar to support the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides. The print calendar features 15 Canadian pets, including dogs, cats, a ferret, chameleon and even a pot-bellied pig. “I think what really put Hana and Winston over the top was they look so happy and serene and they are both in beautiful natural settings,” said Alison Preiss of Pet Valu. Winston’s human, Jamie McDowell, said he was always taking pictures of Winston and thought he’d submit a favourite photo and see what happened. “He just so happens to be the cutest golden retriever on the planet (ok sure, we are a little biased),” he said. “We know there are a lot of cute pets across the country so we were thrilled when we found out that he had been chosen

from thousands of entries. “The icing on the cake was when we found out that the proceeds go to such a fantastic cause.” McDowell said Winston brought joy to everyone he met and his smile always brightened up a room. And that’s pretty easy to see from his winning photo. “His personality and stubbornness can be quite comedic and his welcome home snuggles are the best part of our day,” he said. Hana’s human, Jakob Schmidt, said he often took pictures when out hiking with Hana and chose to submit a photo of her in the beautiful West Coast landscape. “We always get comments when out walking, although most of the time, I think it’s just because of her size… And yes, the horse comparison gets old real quick,” he said. “I’m sure every pet owner thinks that their pet is special. The most special thing about her is that she’s our dog. Having said that, we know that she is pretty photogenic and there aren’t that many blue Great Danes around.” He said it was “pretty crazy” she was selected out of so many pet entries. “Although, I would say that we had an unfair advantage with the amazing backdrops right in our backyard,” Schmidt said. But it’s not just about gorgeous, loveable pets; the donations from the calendars go towards sponsoring teams at Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides. One hundred per cent of the donations go to the foundation. The calendar is available for a give-what-you-can donation at all Pet Valu stores across Canada.

Return of the Goddess (2018), acrylic on wooden panel, can be seen at the Art Gallery at Evergreen in Judith M. Atkinson’s new solo show. It runs until Jan. 6, 2019.
AssocIAtEd EvEnts
In ancient Greek mythology, Athena stands as a patron and protectress. The Parthenon in Athens is dedicated to the goddess, who was thought to have come from the head of her father Zeus. And, because of her strength and wisdom, she competed in and won many battles, often aiding heroes along the way. Over the years, her symbol has been a source of inspiration to countless artists— including longtime Port Moody resident Judith M. Atkinson. On Saturday, she’ll open a solo show at the Art Gallery at Evergreen titled The Return of the Goddess, which pays tribute to the figure and reimagines Athena leading the way in modern times as a warrior for female empowerment. A graduate of Emily Carr University of Art + Design and a fine art instructor at Langara College in Vancouver, Atkinson has studied antiquity for years. Three years ago, she was in Greece to absorb Athena’s legacy and, this past summer, led painting students on a tour of Tuscany, Italy, to continue her look at ancient civiliza-

Atkinson sketched at historical locations — Delphi, the Parthenon and, later, at the base of Mount Etna — and reflected on Piero della Francesca’s The Legend of the True Cross, among other sacred sites, to get a sense of the cosmos and mythology. Atkinson said Athena’s attributes influenced her artwork as the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements flared up around the world, and as forest fires raged in Greece. “The trends and the climate change became the spark. You could see everything was connected.” Her extensive readings, including of The Passion of the Western Mind by cultural historian Richard Tarnas, resulted in about 50 abstract and figurative pieces for her new series. And many of those oil, watercolour and mixed media
paintings will make their debut at the Art Gallery at Evergreen. In the show, “I want to evoke ancient times when women and men were considered equals,” Atkinson said, adding, “Women have sat on the sidelines for too long… It’s time for women to rise up and challenge the norms.” To enhance the exhibit experience, Atkinson recruited Joël Tibbits to produce a soundscape; in the past, she has also employed dancers to lead viewers through her installations. Atkinson last exhibited at Evergreen in 2007 as part of the Coquitlam venue’s 10th anniversary show, Shifting Views. • The Art Gallery at Evergreen (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) is open Wednesday to Saturday from noon to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Little art things Challen Pride-Thorne started to see the miniature items while she studied ceramics at Place des Arts. She and her sister joined the Coquitlam facility in 2013 — after their kids became independent — and, during the Christmas season, she’d admire the little pieces displayed in Positively Petite. This year, the Coquitlam graphic artist plucked up the courage to be part of the annual exhibit and submitted eight mixed media works, measuring 3’ by 3’ each, made with paints, paper and found objects. The images are peaceful — depicting a park bench, and flora and fauna — with the aim to give the viewer a break, especially during one of the busiest times of year. “They give an appreciation for nature and show the quiet moments of life when you let everything go,” she said. More than 30 artists have their tiny paintings, ceramics, sculptures, mixed media and drawings in Positively Petite 2018, with Pride-Thorne as well as Kristian Adam, Peggy Logan, Shirley White, and Irene and Laura Giesbrecht entering the show for the first time. All 2D artworks are less than 12 square inches while the 3D pieces are less than 36 cubic inches. And sales support cultural programming at Place des Arts and the exhibiting artists. Pride-Thorne said purchasing small original items is an affordable way to build up an art collection; Positively Petite offers a variety of styles and mediums you don’t typically see elsewhere, she said.

Age no barrier for these triathletes Training partners preparing for world age group championships MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
It took Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warren Slaght until middle age to become a world class athlete. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he noticed all the competitors finishing with him at triathlon races were younger than his 61 years. Next August Slaght and his 55 year-old training partner, Paul Townsend, will travel to Lausanne, Switzerland, to compete for Canada against top triathletes in their age category from around the world at the International Triathlon Union world championships. Getting there has been a journey that started with getting off the couch. His kids grown and out of the house, Slaght decided his life needed some â&#x20AC;&#x153;me-time.â&#x20AC;? So he turned off the TV and got on a bike. In 2014, Slaght trained for the Seattle to Portland Ride that covers the 327 km between the two Pacific Northwest cities in two days. The next year he tackled the distance in one day. Slaght also got back into a swimming pool for the first time in 40 years. He said it was all he could do to complete two laps. But a fuse had been sparked. Slaght, who was a runner before his â&#x20AC;&#x153;soccer dad years,â&#x20AC;? started training in all three disciplines. He worked his way up to 60 laps of the pool. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go on two or three rides a week as well as a couple of five- or 10-km runs. He started eyeing triathlon races on the calendar. Slaghtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first competitive race was in Vancouver in 2016, although he said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t re-

Warren Slaght, left, and his training partner, Paul Townsend, are heading to Lausanne, Switzerland, next August to compete in their age group at the International Triathlon Union world championships. ally competing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was smiling,â&#x20AC;? Slaght said, adding he lost more than six minutes in one of the transition zones of the Olympicdistance race because he decided to go to the bathroom. To get faster and hone his training, Slaght connected with Townsend, a casual acquaintance from church whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been competing in triathlons since 1998. Townsend taught Slaght how to speed through the transitions from the water to the bike, and from the bike to the
run. He showed him little tricks of the sport, like using triathlon-specific bike shoes that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require socks and slip off easily when it comes time to switch to running shoes. But most importantly, the training partners motivated each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really helps when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like training,â&#x20AC;? Slaght said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We push each other to be better,â&#x20AC;? Townsend said. Their team approach paid off with results that ultimately qualified the pair for next

Coquitlam tool company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to create the time and space,â&#x20AC;? he said. But with a world championship race beckoning in less than a year, Slagt and Townsend anticipate a busy winter and spring on the road, in the pool and at the gym, targeting muscle groups that will make them faster, fine-tuning the balance between their lives and their sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even at our age, you can take fitness to a higher level and enjoy the benefits of being fit,â&#x20AC;? Slaght said.
The Coquitlam Express will look to rebound from a 6-1 loss last Saturday to the Wenatchee Wild when they host the Victoria Grizzlies on Friday, 7 p.m., at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. But to do that, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to tame one of the BC Hockey League hottest prospects. Alex Newhook is reprising his inaugural campaign in the league during which he scored 66 points in 45 games and was named its rookie of the year by leading all scorers this year. The 17 year-old already has 12 goals and 23 assists in the Grizzliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first 23 games. Those numbers and Newhookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speed and agility on the ice have caught the attention of NHL scouts who have projected he will be a first round pick in next springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amateur draft. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already committed to attend Boston College in 2019. TSN analyst Craig Button said Newhook â&#x20AC;&#x153;has a catlike ability to make things happen quickly.â&#x20AC;? In Wenatchee, the Express spotted the hosts a 4-0 lead before team captain Troy Robillard was able to get one back with his first goal of the season midway through the second period. Coquitlam was coming off a 2-1 shootout victory over the Smoke Eaters in Trail the night before.

yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worlds. And while middle age might ease familial obligations, it brings other challenges. Both Slaght and Townsend have busy careers so carving time for training isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy, Townsend said, adding heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll often run along the seawall at Stanley Park and finish with laps at the Second Beach pool during his lunch break at a Vancouver-based international shipping company. Slagt said his workouts help relieve the stress from his job as a general manager for a

Terry Fox Ravens running back Liam Cumarasamy tries to break through the Carson Graham defence in their BC Secondary Schools Football Association first round playoff game, last Saturday at Terry Fox Field in Burnaby. Cumarasamy ran for 60 yards and one touchdown while his backfield battery mates Jaden Severy scored three touchdowns and Cade Cote added another as the Ravens romped to a 49-6 win over the Eagles. Ethan Shuen also found the end zone three times, twice on rushes and once on a pass reception. Fox will play Notre Dame in the quarterfinals, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at BC Place stadium.
