SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
Phishing expeditions target staff in schools Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News
Protecting staff and sensitive school information is the goal of a new software program School District 43 is planning to buy to foil phishing scams. The name of the program and the cost have yet to be revealed as SD43 is still in negotiations with the provider. But the aim of the software is to help its employees identify phishing emails so they don’t get scammed by them. “We’re training our staff on the telltale signs that we’ve been seeing,” said Stephen Whiffin, the district’s director of instruction, who spoke to The Tri-City News while at a technology conference in Richmond. Like many organizations
dealing with large amounts of personal data, SD43 has to fight back against hackers seeking to steal sensitive information or wreak havoc on computer networks. Every day, SD43 gets between 25,000 and 50,000 malicious emails, and although a robust security system filters out most of them, a few sometimes get through that could put the district or the staff person at risk if acted upon. “We’ve had issues with both spam and malware-related spam for some time,” Whiffin said, noting that while proactive efforts have kept these infiltrators at bay, constant vigilance, training and security updates are needed to stay ahead of the hackers. see HACKERS’ WEAPONS, page 10

COQUITLAM DEVELOPMENT
Coquitlam considering DCC hikes Costs of servicing are going up, says city’s finance GM
DEV’T COST CHARGES/DETACHED HOME LOT
Gary MCKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
The cost developers pay to build in Coquitlam could be going up. The city is proposing an across-the-board increase in development cost charges (DCC), which are collected by municipalities to recoup expenses associated with servicing new projects. Michelle Hunt, Coquitlam’s general manager of finance and technology, told The Tri-City News the proposed jump in fees is necessary to offset the rising land and building costs associated with park acquisition and utility construction. “The rates get calculated based on population and where we think that growth will reside,” she said. “We have seen a big shift. That is reflected in those growth calculations.” DCCs for detached homes are expected to see the largest increases, with a proposed rise of 64% for large lots (more than

The cost charges associated with developing detached homes in Coquitlam will be some of the highest in the region if proposed DCC increases are adopted by the city. 375 sq. m) and 63% for small lots. If the new rates are adopted, it will make Coquitlam’s fee one of the most expensive in the region. The development cost charges for townhouses would also rise from $123 per sq. m
to $178 per sq. m (46%) while those for apartments would jump from $123 per sq. m to $183 per sq. m (48%). DCCs would rise 24% for commercial property and 18% for industrial. The fees are provincially mandated and are collected by
municipal governments to pay for the costs associated with new development. For example, as new multi-family projects are built, funds are needed to expand the city’s park and green space network for the increasing population. The
money is also required to pay for utility hookups associated with the new developments. A public consultation process began last week and the city has been consulting with the Urban Development Institute (UDI), a development industry group, on the changes. City staff will accept input until Dec. 7. While developers may not be thrilled with the prospect of seeing their costs rise, Hunt said most stakeholders have been understanding. “Our costs and our programs are driven by the cost of land and construction,” Hunt said. “The development industry is well aware of that. They are experiencing the same thing.” She added that the city has
committed to revisiting the charges every two years. That means that a slow down in the housing market could be reflected in future rate increases, Hunt said. The UDI wasn’t available for comment before The Tri-City News’ print deadline. After consulting with the industry, city staff will present the findings to council in the new year. Because development cost charges are legislated under the Local Government Act, the new rate increase will have to be approved by the provincial government. A final bylaw is expected to go to Coquitlam council in the spring. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC
BERT FLINN PARK
PoMo council cuts road ROW in Bert Flinn Mario Bartel
More on PoMo council’s Bert Flinn moves, please see pages 12 & 13
The Tri-CiTy News
The public may yet get another chance to have a say in the future of Bert Flinn Park and the direction of development at the Ioco lands after Port Moody council all but decided those matters Tuesday. At the urging of Coun. Zoe Royer, Port Moody council directed staff to include a public consultation plan as it passed a resolution to remove the road right of way from the 311-acre park. Royer was the only councillor at Tuesday’s meeting to vote against the resolution, although two veteran councillors who had previously supported retaining the right of way were absent; Diana Dilworth and Meghan Lahti are away on a trip. Other resolutions — to limit development of the PoMo portion of the Ioco townsite to its current zoning for 111 single family-homes; to direct staff to investigate the implications of removing Ioco Road from the

region’s major road network; and make improvements to Bert Flinn Park, including more parking and a wheelchairaccessible path — were passed unanimously. The votes came after council heard from more than three dozen speakers during the public input portion of the meeting. The majority of them supported retaining the right of way through the park, just as the majority of speakers at previous public input session in the summer on the same topic had.
They cited reasons like a lack of engagement with other stakeholders such as Metro Vancouver, the villages of Anmore and Belcarra, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and Brilliant Circle Group (BCG), the owners of the Ioco lands, a 250-acre parcel of property in Port Moody and Anmore and was once the townsite for workers at the nearby Imperial Oil refinery. Several also expressed concern about the amount of traffic new development or increases for
parking capacity planned for Belcarra Regional Park could bring to narrow, twisty Ioco Road without the relief provided by an alternate route. Some said removing the right of way even risks the preservation of several heritage buildings at the Ioco townsite, which BCG has said it would retain and incorporate into its development of the property. The company has yet to submit a formal plan for its project. But Mayor Rob Vagramov claimed the message to save the park from the incursion of a paved roadway has been heard loud and clear for several years since BCG acquired the Ioco lands in 2015 and announced its intention to develop the property. That sparked a group co-founded by Coun. Hunter Madsen to organize petitions and rallies to fight any plan to
turn the right of way — which has been part of Port Moody’s official community plan for decades and was preserved when the park was created in 1999 after a referendum — into an extension of David Avenue. And while a council vote in July that was opposed by Vagramov and Madsen reaffirmed the right of way — in accordance with recommendations in a city staff report — the new mayor said the results of the October civic election that deposed the former mayor by 394 votes and another councillor who both supported retaining the road option indicated the public feels otherwise. “From my perspective, we’ve spent about three years with various levels of consultation, rallies, alternative route studies, public input and the election,” Vagramov said. “We’ve col-

lected a significant amount of data from the public.” But Royer said the rift created by the debate over the park’s future over the past three years needs to be mended and that can only be accomplished by ensuring the public is fully informed about the implications of any decision and has a chance to be heard. “If we want to set the tone moving forward, if we want to be a council that brings the community together, then we need to get people in a room,” Royer said. Madsen said the decisions council made Tuesday will drive those conversations toward finding alternate solutions to traffic and density issues on Port Moody’s north shore. “We need to approach the park, the Ioco Road traffic growth and limiting density, we need to get those handled all at once,” he said. Royer remained skeptical, saying, “I really hope the community feels listened to.”

beaver management
Making beavers feel welcome Flow device helps ease flooding Mario Bartel
The Tri-CiTy News
As the city of Port Moody works to create a strategy to manage beavers that take up residence in its waterways, a group of advocates for the industrious rodents is helping make one furry family feel right at home. Last Friday, volunteers from The Fur-Bearers along with local supporters like Jim Atkinson and his partner, Judy Taylor-Atkinson, were immersed in Suter Brook Creek, installing a device that regulates the level of water in the pond that has been created by a family of beavers between city hall and the public works yard. The beavers moved there after they were displaced from their previous home in nearby Pigeon Creek when an attempt by the city to evict them from a drainage pipe went awry and a young kit was drowned. Taylor-Atkinson said the flow device will drain water from the pond — formed when the beavers built a dam — to ease flooding while still maintaining a level high enough for the animals to feel safe.
Mario bartel/the tri-city newS
Clockwise from right: Adrian Nelson, of the Fur Bearers, checks the depth of the water in the beaver pond that has formed behind Port Moody city hall. Nelson removes a carton used to help float the device into place before its sunk into the pond. Nelson and volunteers move the rig, which is protected by a galvanized steel cage. Evidence of the beavers. The flow device will help regulate water levels so a walking trail adjacent to it doesn’t flood as much.
The device consists of a 40-foot length of double-wall, 12-inch culvert pipe with holes drilled into it so it can be sunk to the bottom of the pond. One end of the pipe is protected by a galvanized steel cage so the beavers can’t get in while the other end is inserted through the dam. Taylor-Atkinson explained the effect is like punching a hole through the dam but the beavers can’t rebuild the structure or plug the pipe. She said after some initial curiosity, they will get used to the pipe and carry on with their lives. “They need to have the water at a certain level to protect their home and family,” she said. “They’ll do whatever they have to do.” The device was installed with the city’s blessing and several employees, including city manager Tim Savoie, stopped by to observe the work. “This is a big step in the city’s beaver management plan,” Taylor-Atkinson said, adding she hopes interpretive signage can be installed to explain to visitors walking along the path that runs along the creek about what is happening. “I think the beavers will be fine.”

COQUITLAM
Latest casino hotel plan gets approval There have been several changes since first plan Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News
After a two-year delay, a development permit was approved for the long-planned hotel at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver. But determining when it will be built remains an unplayed card. The first word of a hotel for the property on United Boulevard in Coquitlam came in summer 2011, when the gaming facility was known as the Boulevard Casino. Since, there have been a number of delays. In 2016, the casino’s owner, Great Canadian Gaming Corp. (GCGC), applied for a zoning amendment to allow it to build a plaza to hold outdoor events and at the same time applied for a development permit for the hotel. The process for both actually reached the fourth and final approval stage two years ago but since GCGC was still looking for a company to operate the hotel, it didn’t go before council. The application received a one-year extension a year ago. That was up this week, and although no operator has been found to run the hotel, GCGC opted to finalize the development permit for its revised plans. A city staff report had no objection since the company met all the conditions of final adoption of a redesign to the planning department staff’s satisfaction. Monday, city council approved GCGC’s applications. Despite the detailed conditions being worked out with the city, Raj Mutti, GCGC vice president of west operations said in an email statement to The Tri-City News that there is plenty of work ahead before the hotel will be built. “Although there are several other steps associated with this project that must be completed prior to formally moving forward, we plan on undertaking the necessary work prior to applying for a building per-
Casino hotel timeline • Aug. 10, 2011 — Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (GCGC) announces plans to build an 11-storey tower on its Boulevard Casino property on United Boulevard. It is to include 181 hotel rooms along with meeting space. • Aug. 24, 2011 — About 50 residents and area business owners show up for a peek at the plans at an open house put on by GCGC. “It’ll be some place to put our clients while they’re here,” says Bob Lawlor, general manager of Go West Campers International on Fawcett Road. • Oct. 24, 2011 — Council votes 7-2 in favour of the proposed zoning amendment. At the public hearing prior to the vote, the lone opponent of the project is Ron Little, coowner of the Best Western Coquitlam Inn on North Road. He claims an uneven playing field because the casino could subsidize lower room rates. • July 30, 2012 — Development permit for proposed hotel approved by council. • August 2012 — GCGC announces revised plans to reduce the hotel by a floor to 10 storeys, with the number of rooms dropping to 176. • October 2016 — GCGC’s Chuck Keeling says a hotel for the site isn’t in the cards anytime soon but the casino does want to go ahead with a plaza to allow for show-and-shines, trade shows, musical acts or community events. • Nov. 28, 2016 — Following a public hearing, council gives second and third readings to the request to permit outdoor events and direct staff to prepare a development permit amendment. • Nov. 20, 2017 — Council grants a one-year extension between third and final readings to expire Nov. 28, 2018 to give GCGC time to negotiate a deal with hotel operators. Since the original development permit for the hotel began being processed in 2012, and there has been a complete redesign, a new development permit is started for a 12-storey tower with 141 rooms, although the work from the old permit is rolled into the new one. • Nov. 26, 2018 — Although no agreement has been reached with a potential hotel operator, all conditions to final adoption put on by the city have been addressed to staff’s satisfaction and GCGC opts to finalize the development permit, which council approves. mit,” wrote Mutti. “Approvals are also required from other bodies like the Ministry of Transportation, so at this point, our focus will be dedicated towards those endeavours as well as monitoring the market and updating our business plan prior to any development work beginning.” In 2011, GCGC’s first proposal was for an 11-storey tower with 181 rooms. Those plans were adjusted a year later to 10 storeys and 176 rooms. Although the latest plans call for the hotel tower to be two storeys higher, its footprint won’t be as big, with 141 rooms, and is 52,200 sq. ft.

smaller overall. Meeting space has been cut by more than half, with a reduction of 3,810 sq. ft. to 3,200 sq. ft. A café that was in the original proposal has also been eliminated. The new building’s design will feature “interlocking and contrasting purposefullyoriented vertical elements” including “glass boxes” facing east and west to help it stand out to those travelling on Highway 1, Lougheed Highway and United Boulevard. “Solid boxes” with punched windows will showcase north views of the mountains and south views of the Fraser River.

asked the city’s director of development services, George Fujii, whether there was any timeline on the hotel’s con-

Holiday train closed over safety violations The owner of a Port Coquitlam business is set to face city council next month about alleged safety violations. Wim Vander Zalm of Art Knapp is expected to respond to ongoing concerns at a Section 57 hearing that examines construction without permits. The hearing comes after the city this week forced the closure of the Dominion Avenue retailer’s holiday train amusement park until BC Fire Code and Building Code infractions are addressed; city staff told Art Knapp it would suspend its business licence if it continued to operate without a special
event permit. “Our intention is not to damper the holiday spirit by closing a popular holiday-time attraction for the community but top priority is and must be public safety,” Pardeep Purewal, PoCo’s communications manager, said Tuesday in an email to The Tri-City News. Previously, in late September, the city forced the closure of another holiday draw at Art Knapp: Funland. That reopened in early October after the provincial fire commissioner revoked the city’s order and ruled the building — owned by Shiloh Nurseries — is safe, Art Knapp
wrote in an Instagram post this week to its 5,200 followers. It added: “We are very sorry that we will not be able to hold our annual Storytime with Mrs. Claus this year but do not want to risk losing our business license. We want to reassure everyone that the Art Knapps the community has come to know and love is committed to safety and will continue to try and work with the city.” Vander Zalm was not available for comment before The Tri-City News’ print deadline Thursday. The Section 57 hearing will be held during the Dec. 11 city council meeting.

Hackers’ weapons get Man charged, again, harder to block: sD43 with poppy $$ theft “What we’re seeing now is that the tools the hackers use are increasingly sophisticated, which is making the malware they are creating harder to block, harder to identify the signature and potentially more realistic. We think it’s proactive to give the most modern training to reduce the likelihood there will be issues.” The software will send out emails that look like a phishing scam and if a staff member falls for one of them, it will let them know and recommend a five-minute training video on how to identify malicious emails. Whiffin said phishing emails directed at the school district can look authentic because bots scrape information from the SD43 website and use it in the email — usually with an urgent request for the receiver to take action. They often look like they’ve been sent by someone in authority, another SD43 colleague or department, and may even refer to a specific event In fact, they are just a ruse to get a password, credit card details or the redemption code from a gift card the email re-

School District 43 is purchasing anti-phishing training software to fight back against hackers trying to obtain sensitive information. cipient is asked to purchase. The phishing email can sometimes look nonsensical but is still real enough to fool someone, even a teacher, and while the software won’t be used on students, Whiffin said young people are already being taught to be vigilant about phishing scams and how to stay safe online as part of the district’s digital citizen curriculum. “Our staff are well versed you don’t go out and buy things based on an email. But
the technology that supports the malware is only getting more sophisticated, if we are going to be proactive we need the latest tools.” In the spring, Coquitlam RCMP issued a warning to people to beware of an email tax scam that offered a refund in exchange for personal information, saying it was just one of a number of fraudulent schemes circulating at the time. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
A Port Coquitlam man with a history of stealing charity donation containers has been charged in relation to the theft of a poppy box earlier this month. Victor Hansen is facing one count of theft under $5,000 and a warrant has been issued for the 51-year-old’s arrest. “Coquitlam RCMP gets a lot of calls when charitable donations are stolen and this charge shows how seriously we take these files,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin in a press release. The incident occurred Nov. 7 at around 6:30 p.m. at the Coquitlam Public Library’s City Centre branch. Police allege Hansen distracted library employees before cutting the straps holding down the box and putting it into a bag. Laurie Chapman, poppy fund chair for the Coquitlam branch of the Royal Canadian
Legion, said at the time that anywhere from $100 to $200 could have been in the container when it was taken. “The money is for the veterans that fought for us to have what we have today,” she said. “I find it quite disgusting that someone would take that money.” The library incident is not the first time Hansen has been charged with taking money from a charity. In 2017, he was arrested after a donation box was stolen from a store in the 1000block of Nicola Avenue in Port Coquitlam, prompting police to put out a warning to businesses to secure their containers. Mounties said at the time that Hansen was known for stealing donation boxes and “investigators suspect there are similar crimes that are going unreported.” Police say they do not believe Hansen was responsible for the Nov. 2 theft of a poppy container at the Tim Horton’s on Austin Avenue.
“That is somebody else,” McLaughlin told The Tri-City News. “That we are sure of.” In the Nov. 2 incident, which occurred at around 4 a.m., surveillance footage described to Chapman by a store manager showed multiple people were involved. McLaughlin said it is possible given the location that the perpetrators were from out of town. The investigation is ongoing. With Christmas season quickly approaching, he added that many charities canvassing for donations need to protect the money they collect. “Keep your wits about you when you’re raising money,” he said. “Make sure the donation boxes and cash are properly secured from easy theft. If something does get stolen, don’t let emotions get the better of you; the right thing to do is call police and leave the investigation to us.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Fear & politics
Two questions for Port Moody Mayor Rob vagramov and Coun. Hunter Madsen regarding their successful action Tuesday to remove the road right-of-way from bert flinn Park and limit development on the PoMo portions of the Ioco lands: What’s the rush? What are you afraid of? With councillors diana dilworth and Meghan Lahti away this week, vagramov/Madsen could easily have waited until the new year so that all councillors could be heard. It’s troubling that they acted to effectively silence, in an official setting, two likely opposing voices. and vagramov’s claim that he didn’t know two colleagues were going to be away strains credulity. further, there’s no reason to act without knowing the legal and financial ramifications of these changes — it’s not like there are bulldozers being fired up at the edge of the forest. finally, it’s disingenuous for vagramov to claim a mandate for these actions from the election or public feedback. He won by a few hundred votes — hardly a ringing endorsement — and the public input, both in the summer and before Tuesday’s meeting, was heavily in favour of retaining the road option.
WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? this week’s question:

CHILDREN & LEARNING
Why our kids need more time to play o
n a visit to the small Texas town of amarillo last year, I attended the World Championship Ranch Rodeo — a global gathering of the nation’s best working ranch cowboys — and as I strolled through the sea of competitors and their families, something stood out for me when it came to the children that the ranchers had in tow: None of the kids had phones in bianca bujan their hands. Instead of sitting in solitude, hunched over devices with their eyes glued to screens, I saw clusters of children huddled together on the floor, playing with horse figurines and toy trucks. I watched as they trotted and teetered their trinkets along surfaces, completely immersed in imaginative play while their parents chatted nearby. This not only reminded me of my own childhood, when kids were left to their own devices, but it emphasized the abundance of free, unsupervised and extremely essential play time that I enjoyed DelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

in my younger years — time that is rarely enjoyed by kids today. With the pressure to increase academic offerings, many schools have cut back on allocated time for outdoor play in favour of more time in the classroom. Not only does this reduce the amount of exercise the children get, but the cost of cutting these periods of free play extends far beyond the need to keep kids moving throughout the day. In a special edition of Time magazine titled The Science of Childhood, author belinda Luscombe highlights the results of a finnish study that focuses on the correlation between physical activity and sedentary time for children between the ages of six and eight years. Researchers found that by increasing seated classroom time, the grades of students actually declined. They discovered children who were less active during school time in the first grade (a year that is heavily focused on reading) received lower grades in both reading and math in second and third grades than those who were given more time to play in their earlier years in school — especially boys. While most elementary school kids in Canada receive one short recess break per day, a program called the LiiNK Project (Let’s Inspire Innovation ‘N Kids), devised by debbie Rhea of Texas
Christian university, encourages more frequent bursts of outdoor play, with the youngest children in some Texas schools being sent out for recess four times a day. Project leaders found that allowing for more frequent breaks resulted in more focused classroom time as the children knew that a short break was coming soon. Just outside of Edmonton, bruderheim School has decided to give extended recess time a try, too, increasing the play time to ensure their students never spend more than an hour in their desks at a time. The experiment began just over two months ago and the school is already seeing more focused students, happier teachers and improved attendance as a result. free play develops important life skills in children such as creativity and teamwork, and by providing them with activity breaks, we can boost their focus and improve their grades. It’s time to take the reins and steer our children back to a lifestyle where free play was valued. It will not only keep them healthy and active but it will extend their learning far beyond the classroom walls. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor and marketing consultant.

BERT FLINN PARK
This is ‘keeping an open mind’? The Editor, Re. “PoMo mayor acts quickly on Flinn road” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 28). A letter to Port Moody’s mayor and council: I was pleased to hear at the mayor’s inaugural speech to citizens of Port Moody Nov. 6 this statement: “I do commit to approaching each issue with an open mind, and keeping in mind each and every single person that’s out there, whether you welcomed me in for tea at the doorstep, or whether your door slammed in my face, or whether you’ve never even voted in your life, all of your voices are equally important.” I have concerns with the following in particular: There is still no objective justification at this time for the David Avenue connector rightof-way to be removed or for any more resources to be wasted on it. The public engagement and professional consultation completed earlier this year, and that done in the late 1990s, has been done at great taxpayer expense and, regretfully, more recently has been misused to cause a starkly polarized community.
tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO
Port Moody Mayor Rob Vagramov in Bert Flinn Park shortly after his election last month. How have previous professional recommendations of consultants and staff been acted upon so far? Please advise. Unfortunately, there has been no consideration given to, or consultation with, many of the major stakeholders whose voices are equally important in any decisions to be made. All stakeholders need to be consulted to
understand the future needs, including potential industrial expansion, and before any proposed changes. These include: emergency services, BC Hydro, CP Rail, Imperial Oil, Metro Vancouver, Port of Vancouver, TransLink, the villages of Anmore and Belcarra, and possibly more. As today’s stewards, you will need to ensure the fu-
ture use of this entire north shore area is carefully considered. Regarding recommendations for accessibility of our parks, was a study done of all the 27 or so Port Moody parks to see which ones are most suitable or is this a specific recommendation from the many existing priorities outlined in the parks and rec master plan? Please advise.
With regards to the present official community plan and what it envisions for the Ioco lands, there is no doubt single-detached zoning is dead in Metro Vancouver. Single-detached housing goes against all of the sustainability principles previously instituted by Port Moody. A well thought-out civic strategy that encourages, innovation, density, diversity and efficiency is needed but the roles, responsibilities and cost implications of municipalities (versus provincial and national) need to be clearly understood by residents first. Perhaps an open house could be hosted by the city for this purpose. Why is it a priority of this new council to make such quick changes to the existing OCP/ zoning bylaws when no local housing strategy exists and no plans have been brought forward by landowners of the north shore area? Please advise. Hopefully the city will remain focused on the priorities that add true value for taxpayer dollar and are in the long-term best interest of all residents and stakeholders. John Grasty, Port Moody
REFERENDUM
VOTE PR
The Editor, For many elections now, at all levels of the Canadian political spectrum, I have been denied representation. I want to leave my descendants a more representative democratic system than first past the post gives. I want to leave them an electoral system that: • allows every vote an influence in legislation; • gives every vote an equal value in electing a representative; • encourages gender equality in our representatives; • encourages pragmatic policy making over ideological dictates; • encourages respect for the ideas of others; • seeks agreement in our legislation, not conflict; • is unaffected by lobbyists; • is devoid of the need for broken promises; • and encourages political involvement. I am sure such a wish is shared by many voters. Vote yes to proportional representation and leave this legacy to all our descendants. Ian MacKenzie, Kamloops

A 29-storey tower proposed for Burquitlam not only comes up short in providing the required parking spaces, but city councillors think its offer to make up for it does too. Ledingham McAllister plans to build the 251-unit highrise at 520 Cottonwood Ave. on the southeast corner of Whiting Way. It would replace an existing three-storey condominium building. Plans call for the four levels of underground parking to have 310 spaces, although the city requires 330. To make up for being 20 spaces short, the developer is proposing to provide transit passes valued at $340,000 and $60,000 as payment in-lieu. But Coun. Craig Hodge commented at Monday night’s council meeting that council is consistently told by developers a parking space costs between $50,000 and $60,000 which value the 20 spots at $1 million or more. “So why so low?” he asked. “Seems rather light in terms of the market,” said Coun. Dennis Marsden. In addition, Coun. Chris Wilson and Trish Mandewo

YOUTH RECREATION PLAN
Youth feedback sought in Coq. Young people in Coquitlam are being encouraged to participate in a survey that will help guide the city as it updates its Youth Recreation Plan. Between now and Dec. 10 youth (11 to 18 years old) and young adults (19 to 24 years old) are asked to answer questions at www.coquitlam.ca/ youthplan. A $100 gift card to Coquitlam Centre will be given to one respondent. Adults that support young people at home, in the community or at school are also invited to participate. According to city staff, the feedback that is received will be used to shape a new youth strategy. The survey is the second phase in the consultation, which is looking at ways of encouraging young people to engage in recreation activities and programs in ways that
work with their budgets and schedules. Some of the feedback that has already been received by staff indicate that young people have difficulty finding time to participate in rec programs. They are more interested in affordable options and things like drop-ins and social time, the city said in a press release. “The project is part of an update to the 2006 Youth Strategy,” the release stated. “Since that time, cellphones and social media have significantly changed the landscape for Coquitlam’s youth. The city’s recreation programs and services must respond to these evolving changes.” The strategy is expected to launch in the spring. For more information and to complete the survey go to www.coquitlam.ca/youthplan. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

OBITUARY
Mario BarteL
The Tri-CiTy News
Jonathan Taylor, who put the legal into Terry Fox secondary school’s annual Legal Beagle basketball tournament, died Nov. 6 at the age of 70. A lawyer and former chair of the Coquitlam school board, Taylor had a passion for basketball that developed when he was a player at Burnaby Central secondary, said former Terry Fox basketball coach Don Van Os. Even as his professional career took hold, Taylor continued to climb the bleachers at local games, assessing up-andcoming players, pitching in to keep coaches abreast of their development. Van Os said Taylor took a particular interest in the Ravens because of the program’s dogged determination to test itself against top teams. In 1987, he even took a place on the team’s bench as an assistant coach.
JONATHAN TAYLOR But, Van Os said, the commitment in time and energy was too great. So, over coffee, Van Os and Taylor hatched the idea of creating an invitational tournament that would serve as a showcase for top teams from around the province. Taylor also wanted to improve the image of lawyers. He organized a luncheon for local lawyers to mingle with all the players and coaches participating in the tournament. “He wanted to bring the best basketball he could to the Port Coquitlam community,” Van Os said. The first tournament in
1989 was won by Taylor’s alma mater, which went on to make it to the final four at the provincial championship tournament later that spring. The next year started a run of every provincial championship team taking part in the Legal Beagle, a run that endured for years. “When you had a great team, you wanted to be in the Legal Beagle,” Van Os said. Taylor often followed the Ravens to other tournaments, he said. He’d take a place on the bus somewhere between the coaches at the front and the players at the back and pore over statistics he’d compiled. Once, during a trip to Portland, Taylor made arrangements to get tickets for everyone on the team to a Portland Timbers’ NBA game so they could see another B.C. kid, Steve Nash, who was playing for the visiting Dallas Mavericks at the time. “He was such a generous individual,” Van Os said. A celebration of life is being held for Taylor Saturday at 2 p.m. at Trinity United Church, 2211 Prairie Ave., Port Coquitlam.

The two organizers who ran last weekend’s Winter Artisan Market in Port Coquitlam will host another holiday sale, opening tonight (Friday) in Coquitlam. Only, this time, they’ll feature three times as many vendors. Julie Zado and Tabitha McLoughlin, who also operate the Coquitlam and Port Moody farmers’ markets, are bringing in 110 artists and artisans from around the Lower Mainland and beyond for the 38th annual Coquitlam Christmas Craft Fair. Running Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2 at the Poirier Forum, the TriCity News-sponsored fair will include gifts such as jewellery, metal works and pottery.

The fair opens tonight and includes 110 sellers of jewelry, knitting. pottery and more. 20 years. “I love it. It’s so exciting,” she said. “I always looking forward to talking to people about what we do.” Pam Leitch, who has been a part of the fair for the past six years and crafting for 25 years, said, “It’s always an enjoyable experience.” Zado and McLoughlin received 150 applications from vendors — and 750 enquiries — to be part of the holiday at-
traction. “This year, we have 25 new vendors,” explained Zado, who has organized the event with McLoughlin for the past three years. “We’ve increased the floor plan to accommodate more vendors so it’ll be in a trade show format.” Still, while the Forum is covered, it’s also unheated. Shoppers are asked to dress for the weather, although a heat-
ing system will circle the rink during the three-day fair. Food and beverage trucks will also be located outside the Forum for hungry holiday shoppers. • The Coquitlam Christmas Craft Fair runs Friday from 5 to 9 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Entry is $3/$2; no cost for children 12 and under. The Poirier Forum is located at 618 Poirier St., Coquitlam (between Dogwood Pavilion and Centennial secondary school).

Seven college students from the Tri-Cities scooped $5,000 each this month to help them with transferring to universities. Coquitlam’s Jin Pai, Marisa Letteri and Sage Sarabosing are moving from Douglas College to UBC while Miradee Chua is off to UVic from Langara College. And, from Port Coquitlam, Bailey Gutsche, Jackie McCurrach and Jaime Wong are also transferring from Douglas College to study at SFU and UBC. In total, 171 undergrads around B.C. won the transfer scholarships, awarded by the Irving K Barber BC Scholarship Society. “Supporting students who transfer between post-secondary institutions makes their pathway to success more affordable,” said Melanie Mark, B.C.’s Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training, in a press release. “As someone who benefitted by starting off in college and graduating from university, I know the value of transferring credits.”

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL
Youth drives Tri-City roundballers Here’s how the Fraser Valley North stacks up for the season ahead
6’7” forward who can do it all, said Solero, while Leif Skelding is a speedy guard who can run the point and shoot from the perimeter. Braeden Markiewicz and Kyle Jang will also bring with them the confidence and decision making they honed with a junior team that finished third in the Fraser Valleys and won three games at provincials. They’re expected to be the supporting players to the cast of seniors led by 6’6” forward Ivan Denyssevych, 6’ point guard Solomon Wauye and 6’3” small forward Shay O’Connor. “We have a difficult schedule this season, but we are looking to improve as the season progresses,” Solero said.
MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The senior boys’ high school basketball season opened this week with several TriCity teams playing exhibition games. The Terry Fox Ravens, Centennial Centaurs and Heritage Woods Kodiaks are also participating in the annual Kodiak Klassic tournament that wraps up Saturday at Heritage Woods secondary. The tournament features seven of the top ten AAAA teams in the province, including last year’s champions, the Burnaby South Rebels, along with three of the top-ranked AAA teams. For more information about the tournament, including a schedule for Saturday’s championship round, go to www. kodiakklassic.ca.
TERRY FOX
The Terry Fox Ravens head into the senior boys AAAA basketball season ranked fourth in the province. Coach Brad Petersen says his charges are “motivated” to ascend even higher. “The players are very eager and hungry to compete this season,” he said of his team that reached the provincial tournament at the Langley Events Centre but failed to qualify for the championship round. They’re also a year older, with a sizeable contingent returning to the hardwood. “The experience they gained last year will really help our success this year,” Petersen said.

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
The Centennial Centaurs will look to their 6’6” senior forward Ivan Denyssevych, right, to lead a senior boys basketball team energized with an injection of young players from the junior program. Senior guards Jacob Mand, David Chien and Jaden DeLeon will be key to helping the Ravens navigate another tough schedule constructed by Petersen to help prepare the team for the rigours of getting to provincials. Grade 12 forward Grady Stanyer will be a big presence in the key, pulling down rebounds and drawing attention from opposing defenders to free up space for skilled shooters like Grade 11 guard Ko Takahaski and sophomore Cam Slaymaker.
HERITAGE WOODS
Kodiaks coach Chris Smith
says he’s “really excited” about his group of players who are ranked just outside the top ten heading into the season. With only four returnees to an otherwise young and inexperienced team, that’s a notable accolade. Two of those veteran seniors, Zach Hamed and Arshia Movassaghi, will be counted on for their leadership and skill on the court with the departures of guard Graham Poka and forward Justin Knowles to graduation. They’ll be capably supported by Grade 11 guard Chris Moon, who, Smith said, “shoots the ball well from all areas and can get to the rim,”
Smile!
as well as Grade 11 forward Morgan Liski, a “well-rounded player,” with good rebouding skills. “The Fraser Valley is very open this year with a lot of teams that are evenly matched,” Smith said. “It will be a fight for the seven or eight provincial berths.”
CENTENNIAL
Centennial coach Rob Solero hopes an injection of youth graduating from a competitive junior program he also guides will complement his core of a half-dozen returning seniors. Dom Parolin is a dynamic
Graduation has cost the Timberwolves 10 senior players, but coach Eugene Melnik is hopeful the next wave of players can step up and assume leadership of the team that finished atop the Fraser Valley North last season. Among grade 11 players on the team, forward David Mutabazi, guard Michael Alamdar, forward Kyle Olley and guard Bardia Igbedi “are definitely positioning themselves to represent our club in the next two years,” Melnik said. They’ll be guided by a pair of returning seniors, forward Austin McDonell and guard Jordan Mi. “With so much youth, we hope to field a faster and more enthusiastic team,” Melnik said. “Our goal is to play as many tournaments and games as possible to gain this valuable experience.”

LAX PLAYERS BACK TO WORK MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Several lacrosse players from the Tri-Cities are going back to work after the Professional Lacrosse Players’ Association reached a new labour agreement with the National Lacrosse League last Saturday. The labour uncertainty had cost the 12team league its first two weeks of games, scheduled for this weekend and next. That’s good news for the Vancouver Warriors, which was acquired last summer by Canucks Sports and Entertainment. The parent company of the National Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks moved the team from the Langley Events Centre to Rogers Arena and excised their old Stealth nickname, then appointed Port Coquitlam resident Dan Richardson as its new general manager and Coquitlam native Chris Gill as head coach. The Warriors are scheduled to play their first game Dec. 15, against the Calgary Roughnecks in Calgary. The same two teams will then play at Vancouver’s home debut on Dec. 21. The labour agreement, which was ratified by the players, is for five years. mbartel@tricitynews.com

BASKETBALL PREVIEW
Wilkinson is a big loss can build on last season’s fourth place finish. Daniel Depelteau, the executive director of the elite boys program at Excel Basketball, has taken the reins at Best from former coaches Matthew Sokol and Mike Parkins. “My job will be to keep the same core values that [they] brought to the program, and add my touch to the mix,” Depelteau said. That mix includes key seniors like point guard David Landy and power forward Geoffrey Nonis, who’s also the team captain charged with setting an example for juniors like Connor Dauncey.
RIVERSIDE
The Rapids have lost their star forward, 6’5” Michael Wilkinson, who averaged 30 points and 14 rebounds a game during his three-year tenure with the senior team, but coach Raj Kothary is approaching that absence as an opportunity. “It will be impossible for any player to fill [Wilkinson’s] shoes, but the team is shifting to more of a well-rounded attack with multiple options,” Kothary said. Senior guards Jaxson Abdou and Gabe Bautista will take on leadership roles for a Rapids team that will be younger with an infusion of Grade 11 players like guard Reman Rodriguez and forwards Jesse Lee and
Josh Mitchell. Those young legs will make the team quicker and more enthusiastic, Kothary said. “We plan on… being a high energy team and taking advantage of our perimeter game.”
GLENEAGLE
The Talons have flown under the radar for years. So low, in fact, the team didn’t win a game last season. Coach Jason Bingley is hoping that changes this season. He said with a year’s more experience and confidence in their sneakers, last season’s young squad is ready to run the court and have fun. Leading the way will be senior point guard Razely Dang and shooting guard George Dume, who, Bingley said, have the potential to form the best backcourt in the district. “Our players recognize that they are viewed as underdogs,” Bingley said, adding they’re eager to prove themselves better than some observers think.
most of the team is comprised of Grade 11s. Sands said what players like Mark Adigue, Jasper Chen and Evan Wilks lack in experience, they make up with enthusiasm and an eagerness to learn. “The boys love the game and are definitely in the gym daily on their own time,” she said, adding the team has a lot to learn after it got a late start.
