REFERENDUM
Local ballot count is low Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
sleepy,” said Howell, who assumed her puppy was tired because they had taken a twohour walk that morning.
With two weeks left in B.C.’s mail-in referendum on electoral reform, the Tri-Cities’ voter turnout is trailing most of the province. While 6.5% of ballots were returned across B.C. as of Wednesday, only 1.7% of registered voters in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody had mailed in their packages. But the low turnout may not necessarily be a sign that Tri-City voters are procrastinating, according to Maria Dobrinskaya, a spokesperson for the Vote PR campaign, which supports a shift to proportional representation. “A number of those folks didn’t get their ballots until well into the second week of distribution,” she said, noting parts of Vancouver Island and rural communities received their ballots earlier. “We are seeing higher returns in areas that received their ballots the week of [Oct. 22] as opposed to those that have just arrived.”

ELECTORAL REFORM REFERENDUM
Douglas College student group aims to get out youth vote for prop. rep. Students’ Union says PR will help get young voters’ voices heard
“It is important for us to have our voices heard.” Telka Pesklevtis, a PR proponent, of Douglas Students’ Union
Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News
Can changing a political voting system be made a hot topic among B.C.’s youngest voters? The Douglas Students’ Union hopes so and has embarked on a campaign to encourage fellow Douglas College students to vote for proportional representation (PR) in the referendum on B.C.’s voting system. The union representing 16,000 students at the college’s Coquitlam and New Westminster campuses has joined forces with Vote PR BC and is receiving support for buttons, posters and a social media campaign. But students didn’t just accept Vote PR BC recommendations to oust the first past the post (FPTP) system without a conversation. While its parent body — the BC Federation of Students — has long been a supporter of PR, Telka Pesklevtis said the Douglas Students’ Union talked about the issue before jumping on board. “We felt that proportional representation really pushes people to vote and,” said Pesklevtis, a fourth-year anthropology student who gradu-

Telka Pesklevtis is a fourth-year anthropology student and student union representative at the Coquitlam campus of Douglas College. The Students’ Union supports a switch to proportional representation and is encouraging students to vote in the referendum on B.C.’s political system.
ated from Riverside secondary in Port Coquitlam in 2014. Voter turnout among youth is typically low, well below older age groups, according to Elections Canada, and the reasons generally cited are lack of engagement and too few issues pertaining to youth. But Pesklevtis said students she has talked to think FPTP discourages them from voting because some seats are safe, so it doesn’t matter how they vote, and if they do vote, the results don’t reflect voters’ preference. While some students have expressed concerns about fringe parties having too much of an influence under proportional representation, Pesklevtis said there are safeguards, such as a 5% popular vote requirement to win a seat. Pesklevtis, who has voted in provincial, federal and municipal elections, said she has looked at videos about both systems and came to the conclusion PR is better for youth.
And while students are unfazed at trying something new, the difficulty is getting them to take time away from their studies and other pursuits to get informed, register to vote and mail a ballot. “The challenge is to get through to people,” she admitted. To that end, the student union has a table at both campuses, with pamphlets and posters, and pins stating “Pro Rep is Lit.” There is also a robust social media campaign, with humorous memes supporting PR on Instagram, and regular posts on Twitter and Facebook. There’s a sense of urgency and history-making in the referendum vote for youth, and Pesklevtis, who recently received her ballot, hopes change is in the wind. “It will be a big change for B.C. and it will be empowering for a lot of people who don’t feel their vote counts.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

PORT MOODY
PoMo utility fees to stand pat for 2019 Charges for green waste collection to rise >20%
once final figures came in from Metro Vancouver’s 2019-’23 financial plan, the city was able to hold the line on those charges, which had been anticipated to rise to $447 for water and $341 for sewer in its own draft financial plan that was released last October. Instead, single-family homeowners will be billed $432 for water and $332 for sewer. The portion of Port Moody’s annual utility charges going to pay for the processing of green waste will still increase more than 20%, to $238, to cover increased costs. The city has to find a new contractor to handle its green

Utility rates for single-family homes in Port Moody won’t go up nearly as much next year as initially proposed. In a fees bylaw that went before council Tuesday for its first three readings, water and sewer rates will remain unchanged from 2018.

Most other fees for city services for things like building permits, business licences, tree removal and filming permits will go up by about 2.5% to reflect increases in the cost of living. The fees bylaw is expected to be adopted at council’s next meeting, on Nov. 27. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

WADE MACLEOD
Fund for ailing hockey player keeps growing
The organizers of Christmas Bags of Hope (from left) Sam Leung, Jessa Turner and Sandra Klassen, are collecting toiletry items, gloves, toques and cash for food and gifts for people living at the homeless shelter on Gordon Avenue in Coquitlam.
Mario Bartel The Tri-CiTy News
A fundraising effort for a Tri-City professional hockey player and his young family as he recovers from emergency brain surgery has surpassed its original $100,000 goal by more than $20,000. Wade MacLeod, who grew up in Coquitlam and lives in Port Moody, underwent his fourth operation in five years in August to remove a recurring glioblastoma tumour in his brain. That was followed by six weeks of radiation treatment and chemotherapy that’s expected to last for six months. To support MacLeod, 31, his wife Karly and their young daughter Ava through the ordeal, family friend Mike Armstrong began raising funds through the crowdfunding website GoFundMe. The appeal elicited support from wherever MacLeod’s playing career took him, from the Merritt Centennials in the BC Hockey League to Northeastern University in Boston, Mass., to minor league pro stops in Springfield, Mass., Evansville, Ind., Toronto, Boise, Idaho and Allen, Tex. Most recently, he’d played

A group of Lions fans recently donated $2,685, with a message, “Keep fighting Wade.” Armstrong said MacLeod was a popular player with teammates and fans everywhere he played. He’s also a beloved coach at a local hockey school MacLeod started with former BCHLer Tyler McNeely, who played for the Coquitlam Express. MacLeod had just completed his season with the Lions last spring when doctors discovered the tumour
— which was first diagnosed after he had collapsed during a game in 2013 when he was playing in Springfield — had recurred for a third time. Two months after that surgery, the tumour grew back, necessitating the fourth surgery and subsequent treatment. In a statement posted to the GoFundMe page, MacLeod’s family said, “We have a long road ahead but are in a place where we feel strong and positive.” To donate to MacLeod’s cancer fund, go to gofundme.com/ wade039s-treatment-fund. mbartel@tricitynews.com

It’s never too early to think of helping others during the holidays, says a group collecting items and funds for Christmas Bags of Hope for Tri-Cities homeless people. Jessa Turner, Sam Leung and Sandra Klassen are reaching out to members of the community to collect enough toiletries to fill 100 bags — enough for everyone living at the shelter and transition housing operation at 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam. “This is year five and we are hoping people will be generous once again so we can get

Typically, the group goes door to door in the facility, meeting with each person to hand out the gifts. “It’s nice to have that personal touch,” said Turner, who says the distribution takes several hours, including the time it takes to hear individual stories. “Everyone is so thankful,” she said. The hope is to pack the bags by mid-December so the rush is on to collect the necessary items. Visit Facebook and search for Christmas Bags of Hope to stay up to date.

POLLINATOR PROJECT
Bee army sets out to transform gardens Diane StranDBerg
19th annuaL SaLmon FeStivaL
The Tri-CiTy News
Fresh from the success of building bee-friendly gardens in Vancouver, a group of TriCity youth are hoping to make the Tri-Cities a better place for pollinators. This month, young people will be knocking on doors in Coquitlam and Port Moody to offer support, seeds, knowledge and even practical help in creating pollinating gardens in side yards, unused flower beds and chafer-infested lawns. Representatives from the Pollinator Project met with The Tri-City News last week to share their passion for bringing bees back from the brink of extinction. They hope that by encouraging more organic, bee-friendly gardens the pollinators will return in greater numbers. Globally, pollinators such as bumblebees, orchard bees and wild bees are dying because of parasites and pesticides and habitat destruction, the youth say. By encouraging homeowners to plant diverse species that are attractive to bees, the group hopes to reverse the situation. “We want to reintegrate pollinator habitat into the urban space,” explained Jason Liao, one of the group’s organizers, who is a Grade 11 student at Coquitlam’s Gleneagle sec-
One of the largest environmental events in the Tri-Cities is expected to draw big crowds rain or shine as the Port Coquitlam-based Hyde Creek Watershed Society hosts its 19th annual Salmon Festival to welcome salmon back to the spawning grounds. The event will be held on Sunday, Nov. 18, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and will include live salmon and eagle presentations as well as kids’ activities, exhibits, tours of a working hatchery, food truck vendors, gift items and crafts for sale (cash only), a 50/50 draw and a silent auction.

The group is also working with Earth Safe Canada to promote the use of organic gardening and is fundraising for the project through school donut sales and other fundraising efforts. Since the group started last year, more than 130 students have joined or formed
Pollinator Project clubs at their school in School District 43. And it is this small army of pro-pollinators who will be visiting homes this winter and next spring.

the guys, it’s not work,” he said. “And if I’m helping out the community it’s a great thing.” Yahya Khalil, who is the president of his club at Gleneagle secondary, said his experience living in desert countries, such as Dubai and Libya, has inspired him to want to do more to protect the environment in lush B.C. “If you look at how drastically they [the bees] are declining, it’s actually scary,” Khalil
said. “We’re motivated by fear.” Liao said he is also inspired by how young people want to get involved in saving the bees and hopes more clubs get started at SD43 schools. “Anyone who is interested in having a natural garden or who has leadership experience, we welcome. We need new executives in our clubs and we offer volunteer hours as well.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Smoke is a problem continued from front page
Rosie was oblivious to anything and anybody for about an hour and, when the pooch woke up, Howell noticed Rosie had urinated on herself, something the puppy hadn’t done in months. When Rosie tried to stand up, she fell over. “She was hiding from us, she wouldn’t come near us for a while,” said Howell. “It was scary to see a puppy like that.” Howell was particularly concerned because she’d had a previous 14-year-old lab put down because of a stroke when the animal exhibited similar symptoms. “[Rosie] looked exactly like that.” After consulting her regular vet clinic and a veterinarian friend by phone, she took Rosie to the Central Emergency Clinic on Roderick Avenue in Coquitlam. To her surprise, the vet suspected marijuana poisoning. I’m pretty sure it is. We have lots of dogs with this.’” Testing confirmed the diagnosis and Rosie was given intravenous fluids and kept overnight, at a cost of more than $800. By the time Howell picked up Rosie Monday morning, the puppy was fine. The receptionist told Howell pets often ingest marijuana in parks, on school grounds and hiking trails. It’s not just from pooches finding their owner’s
DOGS ON WEED
According to the website petpoisonhelpline.com, “clinical signs [of marijuana poisoning] can be seen within minutes to hours depending on how the pet was exposed (inhalation versus ingestion). Classic signs of poisoning include a dazed expression, glassy eyes, incoordination, slow response times, and dribbling urine. Vomiting and drooling are also common, despite marijuana’s anti-nausea effects. Other signs include changes in heart rate, vocalization, neurological stimulation, hyperactivity, or coma.” stashes, she said. (Howell recalled finding a golf ball-sized bag of pot while walking Rosie at Ranch Park elementary earlier this year.) Central veterinarian Peter Bassi told The Tri-City News the clinic gets two or three such cases a week, sometimes more. In fact, on the night of Rosie’s stay, there was another case in the clinic. “It’s not always the ingestion of the marijuana, it’s the smoking in the environment. Second-hand smoke can make them fairly high,” said Bassi. He cited an incident where the owners smoked pot in their basement suite while the dog was outside on the porch inhaling the rising fumes. “The dog was fairly high and they were surprised it was the same marijuana fumes that they had inhaled,” said Bassi. He noted the keen sense of smell dogs have can often
get them in trouble, especially when out for walks in areas where kids are known to sneak a toke. “They get attracted to this very easily because it’s a different smell to them, and they get their nose down and all of a sudden they get high on their own,” said Bassi. “It could be fatal if the ingestion is more than what they can handle because they don’t know how much to eat or not to eat.” Before cannabis was legalized last month, he said, pet owners were “very protective” when presented with the diagnosis of marijuana poisoning, saying they didn’t know how their pet ingested it. But Bassi also said it is quite common for pets to get poisoned while out for a walk. He advised walking dogs in the daytime so owners can see if their pet ingests something. newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

A daycare win
Hundreds of b.C. families, including dozens in the TriCities, must feel like they’ve won the lottery because their child care operation has been picked for a $10-a-day daycare pilot. Parents currently paying well over $1,000 a month for infant and toddler care will only have to pay $200 a month for each child, or possibly less if they already receive a subsidy, saving them thousands of dollars a year. Rolling out this pilot to 53 prototype projects around the province has its benefits because the b.C. government can see how moving to universal daycare might work in private and non-profit sites, and in a wide variety of settings. The downside? This is just a pilot and if more money isn’t provided on top of the $60 million already committed after 2020, when the project ends, things go back to the way they were. Politics — i.e. who takes power federally and provincially — will have a lot to do with it, and the economy has to be strong enough to cover the costs. It remains to be seen whether universal daycare will happen. until then, parents in participating daycares really have something to smile about.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
On transit funding, all roads lead to disagreement I n the first weeks of November, the political attention of the province has shifted away from municipal politics. Provincial representatives are worried about the outcome of the referendum on electoral reform while the federal Liberals are celebrating the third anniversary of their comeback victory as well as the 12-month countdown for the next country-wide ballot. over the past few years, housing has consistently topped the charts as MARIO CANSECO the most important issue facing Metro vancouver. Transportation — in all of its forms — was usually ranked in second place, unless you happen to live in Surrey, where public safety has always been a paramount concern. but just what to do in order to deal with transportation is still a matter of debate. It may seem like ages ago but it was just in the summer of 2015 when most voters in Metro vancouver rejected the idea of an additional tax to pay for improvements to transit and transportation. Three years later, whether you drive, take public transit, bike or walk, you are still without the infrastructure and safety features that appeared within grasp.

Late last month, Research Co. asked Metro vancouverites about specific ways in which transit projects could be funded in the region over the next few years. The answers outline a population that is reticent about anything that entails paying more, and decidedly wary of specific concepts. Not one out of six different ideas to come up with funds to pay for transit managed to get the support of half of residents. The most popular one was tolling bridges, a practice abandoned by the NdP provincial government. bringing tolls back is supported by 44% of Metro residents and opposed by 53%. drivers are not that convinced, with 39% voicing support for this idea. but those who commute to school or work by public transit are in favour (52%). other jurisdictions around the world have implemented a levy based on the distance travelled by a vehicle in the past year. This idea resonates with 37% of residents but a majority (55%) disagree. once again, public transit users were more likely to endorse this concept (43%) than those who drive their own vehicles (31%). only a third of Metro vancouverites (33%) would consent to increasing transit fares to fund transit projects. The level of support is even lower for three other ideas: increasing fuel taxes (30%), increasing property taxes (29%) and tolling roads (26%). So very few residents are currently willing to pay more to use the roads that already exist. bringing back tolls would be complicated as the public has now grown accustomed to toll-free driving, and
it would not be politically astute for the provincial government to abandon a key campaign promise. an increase in property taxes to pay for transit projects is extremely popular for people who rent (47% support it). as expected, support for this idea plummets among residents who own their homes (16%). at this point, there seems to be no silver bullet to make sure that some additional funds are available so transit projects can be delivered quickly and effectively. No option is popular for residents, and rookie mayors and councillors will have to deal with different challenges. We can expect a few ribbons to be cut in the next few months. The vancouver extension of SkyTrain to arbutus and all the way to ubC is popular. The long-awaited light rail transit in Surrey was also backed by a majority of residents before last month’s municipal elections but incoming Surrey Mayor doug McCallum has expressed a preference for SkyTrain. In any case, asking Metro vancouverites about how to have better transit infrastructure appears to only lead to people wanting someone else to cover costs. faced with so many warring factions, it will take a lot of political will to achieve something that resembles unity. Mario Canseco is the president of Research Co.

The Tri-City News’ online poll question last week was: “Does there need to be more city enforcement of dumping and littering bylaws, with higher fines?” Yes! Definitely more enforcement and higher fines, please. I walk along Pinetree Way to Coquitlam Public Library’s City Centre branch and outside the library is disgusting. Hundreds of cigarette butts and people’s used tissues are the worst, even more than fast food garbage. Don’t smokers know there are up to 10,000 chemicals in each cigarette that ends up in our streams when they’re not disposed of properly? See my photo (right): This is what I picked up on a walk to the library to show you the depth of this problem — even the plastic bag was garbage on the sidewalk.

low ballot nos. The Editor, I just reviewed the Elections BC website. I was curious to know how many referendum votes have been submitted from here in the Tri-Cities. I was shocked. Of 158,740 ballots mailed out, a mere 2,729 ballots have been completed and submitted to Elections BC as of 8:20 a.m. Nov. 14. This is a shocking 1.7%.
Now, I realize that there is a bit more than two weeks remaining to cast votes. But really? I dread the thought that perhaps one of the most important decisions that we as a voting public may ever make is potentially being determined by a smattering of people. I certainly hope people get off their backsides and vote. Michael Sonntag, Port Coquitlam

COQUITLAM CONFERENCE
TEDxYouth event aims to inspire at Lafarge GranT GranGEr The Tri-CiTy News
TED has had a profound effect on many people around the world and Anjali Menon wants Tri-Cities youth to be inspired by TED too. TED is not a him. It is many people. Many inspirational persons. The Technology, Entertainment, Design conferences have been popular worldwide with the annual big one being held in Vancouver. There have been many spinoffs of it including TEDxYouth. Menon, a Coquitlam resident and Grade 12 student at Port Moody secondary, is co-organizing one of those for Nov. 17 in Coquitlam because she and her family have been big-time watchers of TED events for quite a while. “Every weekend we’d sit down together and learn. It was fascinating for me to see how from my six-year old sister to my 79-year-old grandmother, each one in the family was able to take something away from each talk,” said Menon. She realized although there had been TEDxYouth events in East Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby, there hadn’t been one in a community with as much diversity as Coquitlam has. “Why don’t we have something like this because we have so many talents? Why is there nothing here?” she asked. So she spoke to her English teacher who had been to TED talks in Vancouver. He gave her support and suggested someone to talk to. That eventually led her to the city of Coquitlam and co-organizer Coun. Teri
ANJALI MENON Towner. In her search for inspiring speakers, one literally appeared before her. Menon and her eight-year-old sister were trying to raise money for the event with a bake sale when Zamir Dhanji walked up and did a magic trick. “It was fantastic and everybody was out of their seat,” said Menon. Turns out Dhanji is a yoga enthusiast who teaches people enveloped by the busy pace of today’s world how to relax. “It was phenomenal [listening to him],” said Menon, who asked Dhanji on the spot to be a speaker. “We wanted him so badly because neither of us had met somebody who was so engaged. We needed somebody like this to come to show our community there was somebody like this so intriguing and fascinating.” Another featured speaker Menon is looking forward to hearing from is Rochelle Okoye, who was born in Winnipeg but became an international gymnast for Great Britain in her youth. After her family returned to Canada, she graduated from Terry Fox sec-
ondary in Port Coquitlam and then she earned a psychology degree from the University of Northern British Columbia. Her passion for gymnastics having dissipated, Okoye took up martial arts and boxing before moving on to the movies and television as a stunt double and coordinator for such shows as Deadpool, X-Men, War for Planet of the Apes, Twilight, The Flash, Supergirl and Arrow. Okoye has also written books and done motivational talks on empowerment, overcoming adversity and fears, stepping beyond comfort zones, and creating dreams. Another speaker will be business leader Adel Gamar, who used to work with the United Nations and UNESCO, and recently ran for mayor in Coquitlam. Other speakers are: • Raamayan Anada, an entrepreneur since he was six years old who has created more than 40 synchronized meditation events; • Darian Kovacs, a brand marketer; • Helia Moghaddam, a Grade 11 student at Port Moody secondary who is an avid debater and fundraiser; and • Kourosh Shahbazi, a Grade 11 student at Collingwood secondary school in West Vancouver who has participated in the World Scholars Cup. TEDxYouth at Lafarge Lake will be held at the Glen Pine Pavilion (1200 Glen Pine Court) Nov. 17, 6 to 9 p.m. For more information and tickets go online to ted.com/tedx/ events/30574.

Operation Red Nose is seeking volunteer drivers this holiday season. The program, which offers safe rides to clients who have had too much to drink, will run weekend evenings between Nov. 30 and Dec. 31, and requires upward of 200 volunteers. All proceeds from the service goes to KidSport Tri-Cities, which pays for equipment and registration fees for underprivileged kids that want to get involved in athletic activities. Chris Wilson, the organizer of Operation Red Nose, said volunteers have a lot of fun participating in the program. “You meet some other great volunteers, the clients are generally extremely appreciative… and it looks great on a resume,” he said.

If you’re not picking up essentials in the charming downtown core, you’ll have convenient access east and west, plus a bridge-less commute into Vancouver. Home sweet home, indeed.

Port Coquitlam city hall was bathed in green last Friday — while Coquitlam city hall will go green today (Friday) —to shed light on adoption. Adoption Awareness Month is proclaimed every November in B.C. to draw attention to the number of children and teens waiting for permanent homes through adoption, guardianship or a kinship placement. Nearly 1,400 kids have been adopted from government care in the past five years but there is still an ongoing need for more adoptive families — particularly, Indigenous families and families willing to take on larger sibling groups, teens or children with significant special needs. “Adoption is one important way we can connect young people with the care and support that loving adults are eager to provide,” said Children and Family Development Minister Katrine Conroy, in a news release. “November, Adoption Awareness Month, is a time for us to reflect on the hundreds of children and teens in B.C. who still need support and care, the kind that lights up lives with love.”

Last month, Ayers tricked out her family’s home on Blue Mountain Street leading up to Oct. 31 and raised $8,236 for the cause. She hopes to present the organization with a $36,000 cheque in February, she told The Tri-City News in an email last week.

SEASONAL EATING
Squash & beets & nutrition MARKET FRESH

inter is coming. Perhaps not as violently as it is in Game of Thrones, but it is coming nonetheless. But that doesn’t mean market season is over. Far from it. The Port Moody Market is in full swing now, with an average of 30 vendors each week. Best of all, there are still produce vendors. Winter squash, anyone? One of my favourite squash recipes is a butternut squash and caramelized onion lasagne. Simply peel, dice and roast a small butternut squash, slice and sauté two onions with a clove of garlic and one teaspoon of thyme until they turn a lovely caramel colour, and use this as a filling between layers of lasagna noodles. Cover the top with cheese of your choice and pour a jar of alfredo sauce over the top. Bake until all bubbly and beginning to brown. So good. Winter squash is a hardy vegetable. They keep well for several weeks in a cool, dry

Beets are just one seasonal treat right now at the farmers market. spot. Native to Central America, winter squash differ from summer squash in that the seeds inside have fully matured and the skin has become a tough rind. They are ideal for cooking, especially roasting. It can be as easy at cutting the squash in half, taking out the seeds and roasting in the oven with a liberal dose of olive oil and a bit of salt. They can be stuffed, too, making them ideal for vegetarians. A simple stuffing of canned lentils, some sautéed vegetables and perhaps some cheese is an easy meal. Nutritionally, winter squash are a good source of fibre, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium as well as beta carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. And since eyesight is so important, you can eat squash if you don’t like carrots.
Squash is not the only vividly coloured vegetable available this time of year. Nutritionists always tell us to eat the rainbow, so now is a good time to add beets and kale to your diet. Beets come in a variety of colours, too; deep red, golden yellow and candy cane striped are some of the ones you will find at market. Beets are super high in folate, or vitamin B6, and manganese. Besides producing energy for the body, the B vitamins also have several other uses; B complex vitamins are often looked at as the metabolic enhancers. They are responsible for the way your body unlocks the energy in food to be able to utilize the nutrients effectively, assist in hormonal optimization, cell health and energy utilization (according to LiveScience.

A SEASONAL SALAD
I found this recipe on Pinterest and adapted it (from the original at fromachefskitchen.com) to use both beets and squash. It is delicious.
com). Manganese is required for the normal functioning of your brain, nervous system and many of your body’s enzyme systems (source: healthline. com). Beets are great roasted, raw or pickled. Forstbauer Farm is my go-to source for beets. They grow theirs organically and biodynamically, and they taste good. And that is high praise as I am not a beet fan. And then there is kale — beautiful, deep green kale. This is another vegetable that can be cooked or eaten raw. It is a nutritional powerhouse, too. Along with folate and vitamin A, kale is a source of protein and fibre. Try some kale chips from The Raw Guy. Brian dehydrates the kale into yummy, crunchy chips in all kinds of flavours. Dehydrating the kale keeps the enzymes alive, making it that much more beneficial for you. All in all, it is still possible to eat fresh and locally during the winter season. Stop by and check it out. Take note of our upcoming floral workshop Dec. 16 and don’t forget the Coquitlam Christmas Farmers’ Market Dec. 8. All your favourite vendors will be there, along with carollers, food trucks, kids activities and a Paint Star party.
QUINOA & KALE SALAD WITH ROASTED BEETS, SQUASH, WALNUTS & HONEY-LEMON DRESSING
Prep time: 45 minutes plus roasting time for vegetables Serves 6 INGREDIENTS SALAD 1 bunch kale, stems removed and thinly sliced 1 tbsp olive oil salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 cups cooked quinoa (approximately) 1 medium beet, peeled, cubed and roasted 1 cup diced winter squash, roasted 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup) 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (toasted if desired) plus a few more to sprinkle over salad DRESSING 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 heaping tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp honey (or to taste) 2 cloves garlic, minced salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste DIRECTIONS • Salad: Combine kale, olive oil and salt and black pepper to taste in a large bowl. Gently massage the kale to soften and wilt it slightly. Add quinoa, beets, squash, onion and walnuts and toss to combine. • Dressing: Whisk together dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over salad and mix well. (You can, alternatively, omit the lemon juice and honey and — shameless plug here — simply use KICS.) • To serve: Place in a serving bowl and sprinkle with additional coarsely chopped walnuts. • Note: Roast extra squash and beets to have on hand. They will keep a few days in the refrigerator and make it easy to have a great salad in a hurry. Both pair well with goat cheese and greens in a sandwich.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL
Coquitlam hoopster answers Rebels’ yell Big man from tiny school heading to Ole Miss MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Sammy Hunter might just be the best local basketball player you haven’t heard of. Yet. Hunter, 17, took a giant leap to shedding his cloak of anonymity on Wednesday when the 6’9” small forward signed to play at Ole Miss (a.k.a. the University of Mississippi) next season, a top Division 1 school in the NCAA’s Southeastern Conference. For the past three years, Hunter has been running the hardwood for tiny BC Christian Academy in Coquitlam. In fact, the school is so small, most of its 160 students were able to fit into the room to witness Hunter commit his signature to his future athletic and academic home on National Signing Day, the first occasion when top college recruits across North America are allowed to officially declare their post-secondary intentions. BC Christian Academy is based in the old Coquitlam RCMP headquarters on Christmas Way. The school doesn’t even have a gym of its own, so the basketball team works out at Fortius Centre in Burnaby and barnstorms its games apart from the B.C. High School Basketball Association, at tournaments and exhibitions against independent teams across North America like the top-ranked prep school in the United States, Putnam Science Academy in Connecticut. That formula has attracted international players from countries such as Nigeria, Turkey, Serbia and Croatia, said the Panthers’ head coach
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Sammy Hunter celebrates his signing to the University of Mississippi’s basketball program outside his high school, BC Christian Academy in Coquitlam. Doug Dowell. It’s what lured Hunter from his home in Nassau, Bahamas to experience snow for the first time in his life and hone his basketball skills with an eye to landing a scholarship at a bigtime U.S. college program. Actually, Hunter was having trouble securing a student visa to attend a prep school in America when a childhood friend, Dettario Thompson, who played for Bahamas’ U17 national team, told him about BC Christian. Hunter liked what he heard, and relished the opportunity
to reconnect with Thompson, whom he played with since grade school in Nassau. So he sent some video clips to Dowell and started buying jackets. Lots of jackets. Dowell was impressed. “He’s a good kid, with a solid foundation,” Dowell said, adding Hunter also works hard. Hunter said adapting to life in Canada was more difficult than adjusting to playing basketball at a higher level. “It was cold,” he said. “But basketball is all about making adjustments.” With 220 pounds wrapped
around his 6’9” frame, Hunter is a formidable presence on the basketball court, but Dowell said it’s his agility and versatility that set him apart. “He can play outside, he can play inside, he shoots well and he’s got the footwork,” he said. Hunter’s ability also earned him a spot on the Bahamas U17 national team. And in 2017 he was invited to attend the prestigious Basketball Without Borders Americas camp that was put on by the National Basketball Association to expose 66 top male and female basketball players from 16
countries to a high level of competition, mentorship by NBA players like J.J. Barea of the Dallas Mavericks and coaching from NBA assistant coaches like David Vanderpool of the Portland Trail Blazers. At the end of the camp that was held in Hunter’s hometown of Nassau, he was named to one of the boys’ all-star teams. Last summer Hunter played with the Bahamas Select national team that hosted powerful U.S. college teams like the University of Kentucky, North Carolina and Notre Dame

in the Bahamas Basketball Federation’s Summer of Thunder tournament. Hunter scored 19 points and pulled down eight rebounds against the Fighting Irish and he had 18 points and five rebounds against the Tar Heels. College recruiters took notice. Hunter was soon fielding pitches from Div. 1 schools like Auburn, Arkansas, Kansas State, Western Kentucky and Colorado State as well as Ole Miss. “It was fun,” he said about talking to coaches and hearing their offers. But it was a late call from perennial basketball powerhouse Oklahoma that Hunter said made him realize this was serious business. “It was a wake-up call,” he said. “It was like an alarm in my head.” Hunter said Ole Miss was pretty much his first choice all along. It was the only campus he visited, along with his parents who traveled from Nassau to Oxford, Mississippi. He liked what he heard from the Rebels’ new coach, Kermit Davis, who told him he would be a good fit in the team’s up-tempo, mobile offence. And it was much closer to home than cold Coquitlam. “Ole Miss checked all the boxes,” Hunter said. Dowling, who boarded Hunter in his home the past two years, said sending off his star player next year is an affirmation of success for his small school’s ambitious program to develop elite basketball players. “The trend in basketball is for top-level players to gravitate together,” he said. “Iron sharpens iron.” And with the Hunter’s spotlight reflecting brightly on BC Christian, he’s hoping more top players being forged locally will take notice.

Ravens ready for Notre Dame Jugglers Quarter-final a reprise of 2016 Subway Bowl MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Kayla Halliday, from the Coquitlam Skating Club, skates her short program in the pre-novice women’s competition at the Skate Canada BC/Yukon sectional championships last Friday at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Halliday finished 29th. Other notable results from CSC skaters included Larkyn Austman finishing first in the senior women and Jagoda Cala finishing eighth in the novice women. Carson Consiglio finished first in the pre-novice men’s category.
The last time the Terry Fox Ravens played football against Notre Dame at BC Place, in 2016, they won the Subway Bowl provincial AAA championship. Ravens coach Martin McDonnell hopes Saturday’s quarter-final date with the Jugglers will destine his charges to similar success. McDonnell said the Ravens’ 49-6 victory over the Carson Graham Eagles in the opening round of the playoffs was tougher than the score indicated, which bodes well for his team being able to build some momentum. “That score sent a few messages,” McDonnell said. Coming off last season’s heartbreaking last-second loss to the New Westminster Hyacks in their second consecutive Subway Bowl ap-
pearance, the Ravens have had to overcome the loss of some key veteran players, injuries as well as the perennial challenge of attracting new players. That’s meant putting together an offence by committee and introducing some stalwarts from that side of the ball to the defensive side of the line of scrimmage. And, for the most part, the team has responded, McDonnell said. Never more so than last Saturday’s win over Carson Graham, played in the unfamiliar environs of Terry Fox Field up on Burnaby Mountain because the Ravens’ usual home field at Percy Perry Stadium was occupied by the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s women’s soccer national championship. The Ravens got touchdowns from all four players platooned into the backfield, Liam Cumarasamy, Jaden Severy, Cade Cote and Ethan Shuen. And quarterback Matt Lew-Hendrickson is finding new confidence in his ad-

ditional role on defence, as a cornerback. While the deployments may be borne of necessity, they’re also helping make the Ravens a difficult team to coach against, McDonnell said. “Everybody contributes,” he said. “It keeps opposing defences on their toes.” To have success against the Jugglers, who finished the regular season with five wins and a pair of losses, McDonnell said the Ravens’ defence will have to contain Notre Dame quarterback Will Clarke. “He can take off and run all over the place,” he said, adding Teon AlexanderAmour is also a threat from the running back position. In fact, McDonnell said he sees a lot of parallels in the Jugglers’ formula for success with his own team. “We know we can play with them,” he said. “We’re excited about the challenge.” • Saturday’s game against Notre Dame will be played at 7:30 p.m. at BC Place. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC
