AMANDA TODD

BC court overturns publication ban in trial Carol Todd says ruling will create ‘safer online world’ JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Gail Peneff didn’t even know she’d lost her wallet while walking back to her home at the R.J. Kent seniors residence until an RCMP officer knocked on her door to deliver the errant pouch and all its contents. But it’s what she did next that helped spread her good fortune.

A publication ban naming a Port Coquitlam teen who was cyberbullied and died by suicide was lifted this week. Monday (Jan. 10), BC Supreme Court Madam Justice Martha Devlin agreed to the constitutional challenge for Amanda Todd’s name to be printed.

Under Section 486.4(3) of the Criminal Code of Canada, minors or subjects involved in cases of child pornography cannot be identified. Aydin Coban, 43, of The Netherlands, is indicted on five counts in connection to the case: • extortion • importing and distributing child pornography • possession of child pornography • communicating with the intent to lure a child • criminal harassment Coban was charged in SEE

Open gym under investigation New route sought after river snag

COVID restrictions put in place by province Dec. 22

Environmental group says project off-track

JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

DIANE STRANDBERG

A Coquitlam fitness studio is being investigated by the City of Coquitlam and Fraser Health after receiving complaints that it is staying open and offering workouts, despite a public health order aimed at slowing the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Tri-City News has learned. Club Pilates Coquitlam, which is located in Sunwood Square, failed to return multiple News requests for comment about it being open since Dr. Bonnie Henry imposed the restrictions on Dec. 22. But according to its website and various visits to the franchised outlet over the past two weeks, it continues to accept clients — and even has wait lists — despite the temporary ban. Fraser Health said it’s following up on complaints that Club Pilates is operating in violation of the order for gatherings and events. “Our environmental health team has contacted the owner to inform them their business is not in compliance with the order and should be not be operating at this time,” wrote Fraser Health’s Dixon Tam in an

email to the Tri-City News on Monday (Jan. 10). “We are working with our partners to determine next steps if the business continues to not comply with the order.” Officials with the City of Coquitlam said the legal and bylaw enforcement division has also logged public complaints. “We have been in contact with the operator to discuss the concerns expressed,” wrote Sean O’Melinn in an email to the Tri-City News on Jan. 7. “Throughout the pandemic, the division has supported our enforcement partners at WorkSafeBC, the Fraser Health Authority, and the RCMP with respect to Public Health Orders (PHO) by providing information to

businesses in the city and coordinating enforcement efforts when appropriate.” Currently, as a result of the highly contagious Omicron variant, adult indoor individual and group fitness or exercise activities are banned until at least Jan. 18. And businesses that violate the order can be fined $2,300 or be closed. During this time, police can also recommend charges against repeat offenders and, if convicted, business owners can face penalties as high as $10,000 and/or a year in jail. The province also states on its website that local governments can revoke businesses licences for operators who flout the law. Coquitlam RCMP told

the Tri-City News on Dec. 30 that it hadn’t received any complaints about Club Pilates being open, while WorkSafeBC also noted it hadn’t had any involvement with Club Pilates in recent months. Iron Energy Fitness Centre gym in West Kelowna was in the spotlight recently for staying open despite the public health order. Its co-owner, Brian Mark, stated that exercising it good for physical and mental health; the business has since been fined by the RCMP and ordered to close following an earlier warning from Interior Health. B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix said at a news conference this month that public health orders will be enforced.

Trans Mountain has run into another snag with its multi-billion dollar pipeline construction project after work was halted to deal with an equipment failure during placement of pipe under the Fraser River from Surrey to Coquitlam. Now, the federally-owned company is seeking approval to re-drill part of the route under the river to avoid disturbed ground, pushing the route eight metres further east into Coquitlam. Trans Mountain has applied to the Canadian Energy Regulator (CER) for approval to change the route slightly from the approved route to accommodate a new drilling path of about 332 metres along the final leg of the 1.5-kilometre under-water route. If the change is approved, the pipeline will continue to pass under

the Mary Hill Bypass, but will be constructed about eight metres closer to the Forensic Psychiatric Institute lands before turning west, back under the bypass towards Hartley Avenue and United Boulevard. However, an environmental group says the proposed change is another sign the project is off-track. Dr. Tim Takaro of Protect the Planet Stop TMX said the drilling problem is just one more issue having to be dealt with by the $12.6-billion project, putting taxpayers on the hook and lowering public confidence in the project. Takaro noted the drilling issue surfaced not long after a sink-hole was found on the Mary Hill Bypass near the pipeline construction work and a few weeks after drilling fluid was released into a Coquitlam water course. “They are rushing and trying to catch up,” said Takaro, who accused the company of cutting corners. However, the company maintains the route and equipment received regulatory approval.

To date, her nine-minute video, which contains themes of self-harm, bullying and suicide, has been viewed 14.5 million times. After her death received world-wide attention, Todd’s mother, Carol, School District 43’s coordinator of digital literacy and support-

A winter fundraiser to continue the legacy of a late Port Coquitlam girl is now on until the end of January. The Amanda Todd Legacy Society has extended its deadline — largely because of the demand for the glass snowball ornament featured in the online campaign. Called the Light Up and Shine Purple to Support Amanda’s Legacy during 2022, the snowballs are purple — Amanda’s favourite colour — and symbolize how her story has shone brightly around the world. Amanda, a 15-yearold CABE student in Coquitlam, was cyberbullied for years before she took her life in 2012. Her mother Carol said she’s heard from many people about how the

Neighbours spar with city on works yard expansion JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

First, the animal shelter was built above Coquitlam’s Austin works yard, on the eastern side of Mundy Park. Then, a recycling depot was set up nearby. Now, the municipality is cutting down trees for the $35-million expansion of the works yard. And neighbours say they’ve had enough. This and last week, contractors were close to Niloofar Mohandesi’s home on Haversley Avenue — on the western side of the works yard — to tie ribbons on trees and to see how a public path could be carved from the park to Austin Avenue. “We don’t even know what the colours of the ties mean,” the 15-year resident said. In an interview with the Tri-City News on Tuesday, Mohandesi and her neighbours said they’re furious with the city for the lack of consultation before the project was approved by council on Nov. 22. And although they knew the yard was due for a renewal, they claim city officials failed to notify them properly before the vote took place — and haven’t been forthcoming since. Their pleas to the mayor and city councillors have

Left to right: Niloofar "Niloo" Mohandesi, Elizabeth Baldazzi (crouching), Eve Gauthier and environmental advocate Nancy Furness, who has a PhD in plant ecophysiology, are petitioning the City of Coquitlam about the upcoming loss of trees and privacy for residents as a result of the Austin Works Yard expansion project. The 40-year-old city yard, located at Austin Avenue and Mariner Way, has been on council's books for years for an upgrade. JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

fallen on deaf ears, they said. “It’s obvious they had the contractors lined up months ago,” said Eve Gauthier of the Tri-City Green Council, who lives south of Austin Avenue. For Mohandesi, the loss of the cedar and Douglas Fir trees means not only a loss of a natural buffer from

the lights and sounds of the works yards — which operates 24/7 — but also a loss of privacy and security with the new trail going in. She fears a drop in her property value due to the exposure. Recently, her sister, Yasaman Mohandesi, who

shares the Haversley Avenue house, launched a petition on Change.org to lobby the city to put a stop to the project. As of Wednesday morning, it had garnered nearly 400 signatures. Environmental advocate Nancy Furness, who holds

a PhD in plant physiology, said that chopping down trees affects the water table and disrupts the ecology for the neighbourhood. Earlier this month, the Burke Mountain Naturalists raised the alarm in a letter to the Tri-City News, stating its disappointment about disturbing the habitat. Gauthier takes the issue a step further, contending that the city doesn’t have the right to carve out Mundy Park as it was protected in a referendum in 1993. On Sunday, she sent a stop-work order to the city to request that the trees don’t come down; however, many were felled yesterday (Wednesday). Lanny Englund, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation, culture and facilities, contended there’s miscommunication circulating in the community. He told the Tri-City News on Wednesday that the works yard and the land to the west — behind Mohandesi’s home — fall outside of the park boundaries and the upgrade doesn’t require public comment as the land isn’t being rezoned. “It’s all part of the works yard property,” he stressed. “It’s not protected. There’s no overlap.” In fact, he stated, the civic

institutional designation dates back to 1988 and is in the city’s first official community plan. “The oldest zoning map available is from 1970 and it indicates that this zoning was also in place back then.” Englund said the final design for Phase 1 of the expansion (the fleet maintenance and workshops renewal, as well as the Mundy Park trail realignment) were OK’d unanimously by council and “the project is not stopping.” And while he was unable to say how many trees were coming down, he confirmed that environmental assessments were carried out. “This is not a park enhancement,” Englund said. “It’s about making sure we can maintain and continue the critical services to the city residents.” Last week, in response to another letter to the Tri-City News about the works yard expansion, Englund said the trees taken out for the realignment of the trails will be replanted in Mundy Park, as well as the trees removed from the works yard property. Still, Mohandesi said she’s upset with the lack of transparency from city hall. “All they had to do was knock on my door,” she said. “It’s very disrespectful.”

Catch basins are important—they help keep roads safe and properties dry by collecting rainwater runoff. Catch basins also lead to sensitive local streams and rivers.

Bakery is not only Delish, it's also gluten free Popular dessert stop is adding a new café downtown DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

On a cold winter day, a line up is starting to build outside a small shop in a Port Coquitlam industrial park. Getting into Delish Gluten Free, a specialty bakery offering artisan-crafted desserts and baked goods, is like lining up to get into the hottest ticket in town. And there’s a good reason for this. Inside the shop, painted a delightful bright pink, is a counter full of delicious baked goods, from hamsized scones and cookies to decadent squares, freshly baked bread and baguettes. Owned by Jenna Fidanza, the bakery, located at 1730 Coast Meridian Rd., has become the go-to spot for people who enjoy the finer things in life. “We are definitely seeing an interest in our baked goods among the Port Coquitlam community,” said Fidanza, who grew up

Jenna Fidanza shows off some of the tasty treats she offers at her gluten-free bakery, Delish. She's opening a new café in February. DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

in Coquitlam and graduated from Pinetree Secondary before becoming a baker. Now, thanks to the growth of the bakery since it opened in 2013, Delish is expanding. In late February 2022,

Fidanza will open Caffé Delish in Montrose Square, PoCo’s newest development at 2180 Kelly Ave., across from the brand new Port Coquitlam Community Centre.

Customers will be able to sit in comfort in an Italianstyle café that features the bakery’s most popular items, including salted caramel brownies, vegan quinoa fudge bars, muffins, scones

and cinnamon buns, as well as homemade soups and salads, breakfast wraps, Italian sodas, and, of course, coffee. With its handy location across from the Terry Fox Town Square, community gardens, playgrounds and outdoor sports courts of the new rec centre, Caffé Delish could become be a popular stop. The café will even serve soft serve ice cream to those needing a sweet cool treat while the coffee is locally roasted by Terrelli Coffee, a Vancouver-based, family-run business. Fidanza said she would like to see the café become a lively community space, and long-term plans include serving a light dinner menu. There will also be patio seating, in addition to the indoor tables, something the bakery on Coast Meridian doesn’t currently offer. Even as the holiday rush was underway, Fidanza said she was able to keep up with the demand for her sweet confections, as well as planning the renovations to the 800-square-foot space at Montrose Square while also running her Vancouver location. However, the Vancouver

shop at 2166 East Hastings St. closed on Dec. 24 to enable Fidanza to focus on the Port Coquitlam locations for her business. Having everything local means it will be easier for the four bakers in her Coast Meridian bakery to get the goods to the new shop and ensuring it stays fresh. Although Fidanza acknowledged she’s sad to let the Vancouver shop go, she’s pleased to be expanding in Port Coquitlam where there are a lot of families and so much growth and interest in good food. Fidanza has always been interested in baking and was inspired by her grandmother to open a gluten-free bakery. In fact, the non-wheat flour blend was created by her grandmother, Fidanza said, and is the secret to the rich taste and texture to the baking. It helps as well that Fidanza married into a large Italian family, which may be the reason why her new café will have a level of sophistication and good food that will appeal to everyone. To find out when the new café will open, you’re encouraged to follow Fidanza on Instagram (@caffedelishpoco).

RISING YOUTH

Student rises to the challenge of helping seniors Grant used to help seniors stay in touch with loved ones MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

With a possible career in medicine in his future, Saam Nourouzi is already developing an appreciation for the value of helping people. The 16-year-old Grade 11 student at Port Moody Secondary recently secured a $1,500 Rising Youth community grant to buy two iPads and five electronic pocket talkers set to help seniors living at Eagle Ridge Manor stay in touch with their loved ones — as well as soccer balls, beach balls and bubble makers to keep young visitors amused at the neighbouring hospital. Nourouzi said the months of being isolated from his friends and classmates as the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to conduct lessons online gave him a taste of what some of the elderly residents of the manor must have been going through when outside visitors to the facility were restricted to keep them safe and healthy.

Saam Nourouzi uses his electronic device to stay in touch with friends and family, so he used a $1,500 Rising Youth grant to purchase two tablets for residents at Eagle Ridge Manor. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

So when he called Eagle Ridge Hospital to see how the money could be spent should his application for the money come through, his heart soared at the idea of acquiring technology that might help ease the feelings of loneliness permeating the manor. “It’s been tough on all of

us but especially for the seniors,” Nourouzi said of the past 21 months of various public health restrictions that have become a daily sacrifice to try to keep the contagion contained. Rising Youth is a program led by TakingITGlobal, a worldwide initiative that encourages young people to

find ways to create a more inclusive, peaceful and sustainable world. The money for the grants, which can range from $250 to $1,500, is funded by the Canadian government through its Canada Service Corps. Nourouzi said once he learned of the grant pro-

gram, he started researching ways the money could help his community. Eagle Ridge Hospital was one of his first calls. Coming up with the specific need to be addressed and getting the necessary approvals was a more arduous process, requiring dozens of email exchanges.

In the meantime, Nourouzi went shopping. Looking to maximize the good he could accomplish with the money, he sought out the best deals he could find that allowed him to buy two tablets instead of just one. The electronic pocket talkers are devices that allow staff to communicate better with residents who have difficultly with their hearing. With the money left over, Nourouzi also acquired the balls and bubble makers. He said delivering the haul was “heartwarming.” The experience, Nourouzi said, “helped me understand the importance of selflessness." He added, "If we’re fortunate enough to be able to give back, it’s really important to do that.” And with one such project already under his belt, he’s already secured another $250 grant for the YWCA that will pay for 30 food hampers to be distributed to families in need. Helping our, Nourouzi said he’s discovered, gets easier every time out. “It’s very doable,” he said. • To learn more about the Rising Youth grant program, go to www.risingyouth.ca.

OPINION

W E E K LY O N L I N E P O L L

Time to get tough on unvaxxed?

Last Week t

rising chorus is being heard calling for harsher measures aimed at those who refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19. As the Omicron variant spreads around the world with remarkable speed, and as hospitalizations and ICU cases climb in number, do not be surprised if the screws are tightened further on the unvaccinated. We are heading towards a situation in which less than 10 per cent of the population (the unvaccinated) will take up more and more resources in a health-care system that is nearing capacity. Surgeries are being rescheduled and frontline health-care workers are burning out — all because of COVID-19. Last month, almost 70

per cent of COVID-19 hospitalizations and almost 80 per cent of ICU cases involved unvaccinated people. That is a lot of beds, nurses and doctors diverted from treating vaccinated individuals requiring health care that may have nothing to do with the virus. Surely more must be done to convince more people to get the jab and to relieve growing pressure on our health-care system, for the benefit of the vast majority of our population. While the percentage of unvaccinated in B.C. remains small, even a small percentage of a large number can yield a very large number. Consider this: as of last Wednesday, 369,081 British Columbians over the age of 12 had yet to re-

ceive even a single dose of a vaccine. These people are spread around the province. While it is true that vaccination rates are significantly lower in many parts of the Interior and the north, keep in mind that even in a highly vaccinated place like Surrey (more than 90 per cent have had at least one dose) there remain more than 55,000 unvaccinated residents there. Now, I do not think very many of this group are the aggressive, obnoxious, menacing, scientifically illiterate conspiracy theorists you see at pathetically small anti-vax rallies. I am sure most are just regular folks who need to step up and perform what is essentially their civic duty. But what will it take convince them to do that?

Quebec will soon require proof of vaccination for anyone wanting to purchase liquor or cannabis. Interestingly enough, first-dose vaccinations there quadrupled (from 1,500 a day to 6,000 a day) almost immediately after the new restrictions were announced. Will B.C. and other provinces follow suit and adopt a similar rule? Will we move to a system of fines and penalties for the unvaccinated, as is unfolding in a number of European countries? The vaccination net is tightening around these folks. Eventually their ability to enjoy much of life will be severely constricted as vaccine mandates expand in number and scope.

SNOW REMOVAL

City plows creating more work for residents The Editor: It is presumed that snow for this season has ended and the city knows there will be time for review of practices before next season. Unfortunately, we have been challenged by the city whereby city snowplows on our street see fit to remove the snow including ice, ice melt and other items onto the sidewalk as well as our lawns and driveways. We reside on the upper side of Lansdowne Drive, where there should be no parking when snow removal is to take place. The other side of the street is not

impacted by this. We have resided here since 1980. Some of us older property owners have reached the stage where we cannot remove the stuff from the sidewalk and our driveway. The deposits on the sidewalk from the road are up to three feet high. The deposits on our driveway reach as much as 10 feet of snow down toward our garage. We know that the city will not change their policy here; however, there is a need to take more responsibility to not infringe on the taxpayers

to do city’s work. The city should have more sidewalk plows but it seems it does have the means for supplying these sidewalk units for snow removal. The walk around the pool on Lansdowne Drive has been cleared by one unit — stopped well before the school, which remains slippery. Mayor Richard Stewart, it was nice to learn you have a snow blower and used it to assist staff on cleaning some walks. Good outing! Elin Mowry Coquitlam

GOOD FORTUNE

Found wallet spreads joy to other seniors Gail Peneff didn’t even know it was lost until an RCMP officer returned it DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

A Port Coquitlam senior got the surprise of her life when someone returned her wallet — still stuffed with more than $100 in gift cards and $40 in cash. Gail Peneff, a resident of R.J. Kent seniors complex in Port Coquitlam, didn’t even know she lost her change purse until a member of the Coquitlam RCMP showed up at her home last Monday (Jan. 3). “He was the biggest police man I ever saw,” Peneff recalled. Peneff thinks she lost her wallet in the Shaughnessy Street underpass when she was bringing back groceries from Shoppers Drug Mart and a blanket from the Salvation Army. “I just threw it in my shopping cart,” said Peneff, who added she was more worried about negotiating the treacherous steps during the recent winter cold and snow that she wasn’t as care-

ful as she should have been with her wallet. “I didn’t even know I lost it,” said Peneff, who is 83 and a retired home support nurse. Losing the money would have been a hardship because Peneff, who has lived at R.J. Kent seniors complex for 10 years, is on a fixed income. But Peneff was so overjoyed at getting her wallet back she decided to share her good fortune with other PoCo seniors. “COVID has really been hard on seniors,” said Peneff, noting that while she can get out and visit the Terry Fox Library or Wilson Centre for seniors, many other elderly people are isolated. Even outings and programs at R.J. Kent have had to be curtailed due to COVID-19 protocols. So Peneff, who likes to volunteer and has a lot of friends at R.J. Kent, decided to give away the money that was left in the wallet. “I was up all night thinking about it,” said Peneff. She donated the $40 in cash to Happy Hour at the lounge at R.J. Kent, a housing facility built by the Port Coquitlam legion. “Everyone was happy. They were shocked,” said Peneff.

She added the returned cash was like “found money.” Noting that Canadian legions have been facing tough times with veterans

passing away and COVID-19 restrictions, Peneff said she was pleased to be able to help out her senior friends. “With Covid, it’s been really hard on us all.”

COQUITLAM SUNRISE

Rotarians call for used books for club’s first sale Club hopes to raise $5K from book sale JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

If you’ve spent the better part of the pandemic devouring books, the Rotarians with the Coquitlam Sunrise Club have a solution for you to free up some space. Until Feb. 28, the 18-member service group will accept gently used page turners for its inaugural book sale that’s happening in the spring. All genres of literature — including fiction, non-fiction, drama, poetry and folktale — can be dropped off for safekeeping at Meridian RV, a Port Coquitlam business that’s owned by club charter member Tom Ramsay. Alternatively, Tri-City donors can email creatingculture@outlook.com to arrange a curbside pick-up of reading materials (special circumstances only). Organizer Jennifer McKinnon told the Tri-City News that the club is mirroring its fundraiser on the Rotary Club of Chilliwack’s book blowout, which has been happening each year since 1984. According to its website, the Fraser Valley group

DROP OFF Meridian RV (1690 Coast Meridian Rd., Port Coquitlam) is open Monday to Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Book donations are accepted until Feb. 28.

has collected more than $350,000 in the past five years for the non-profits and charities it supports such as the Salvation Army, schools, environmental organizations and the Chilliwack General Hospital. Its next annual sale returns to the Chilliwack Heritage Park from Oct. 29 to Nov. 6. McKinnon hopes the local event will take place sometime in the spring and bring in around $5,000 for the Rotary club’s activities and organizations such as the • Starfish Pack Program (to fill backpacks for School District 43 students with families in financial need) • Friends of Refugees Jennifer McKinnon of the Rotary Club of Coquitlam Sunrise is organizing the inaugural book sale fundraiser. Used books can be dropped off by Feb. 28 at Meridian RV in PoCo. JANIS

CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

• SHARE Family and Community Services • Quiz Night at Douglas College • Meals on Wheels “Our top priority are the backpacks,” McKinnon told the Tri-City News. “We don’t want to turn down any schools.” McKinnon, who also runs the Downtown Port Coquitlam Business Improvement Association, explained that Sunrise Rotarians have been trying to find new ways to build awareness and raise money for the causes safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. And a book sale — in a gym, for shoppers to physically distance — seems like a good plan although no date has been set yet due to the public health order for gatherings and events. Ramsay, the dealer principal for Meridian RV, said he and his business have helped with the Rotary’s outreach over the past 31 years. “Like many of the other members, we will put forth time and, whenever possible, resources for such worthy projects such as this upcoming book sale,” he told the Tri-City News. “The money raised goes directly to club projects in the community and, in some cases, worthy international projects.”

“This is way more nerve-wracking than any

gold-medal ceremony.” “I wouldn’t know!” Jenn Salling got that reaction out of host Gerry Dee, plus a raucous laughter from the audience, during a celebrity episode of Family Feud Canada. But the nerves faded and the competitiveness kicked, which led in a $10,000 vic-

tory for charity after her team correctly guessed what the surveys said on the popular game show — broadcast the night of Jan. 6 on CBC and CBC Gem. The Port Coquitlam softball bronze medallist from Tokyo 2020 said she had a blast playing on a national stage once again prior to the

show’s taping in Toronto. Salling was called on by former Canadian hurdler Perdita Felicien to represent an all-Olympian squad for Family Feud, which also included track-and-field athlete Angela Whyte, long-jumper Tabia CharlesCollins and rugby sevens player Pamphinette Buisa.

The money is earmarked for The Denise House — an emergency support shelter for abused women and children, in which Felicien explained she, her sister and her mother lived there at one point while growing up. The Ontario non-profit, according to its website, “strives to provide inte-

grated, anti-racist, anti-oppression services to empower the diversity of all women to choose their own future.” “The Denise House further exists to educate the public... about issues resulting from abuse, oppression and discrimination of women and their children.”

COMEDY

Hill tests out material for North American tour Six months of dates in Canada, US for Pinetree grad A Pinetree Secondary graduate whose televised comedy special went around the world last year will be back before live audiences around North America in 2022. But before Ed Hill hits the road for his six-month tour, which he hopes to conclude with another televised show, he’ll be testing out his new material in Vancouver. Hill will appear with fellow comedian Melanie Rose at the Slice of Life Gallery (1636 Venables St.) on Saturday (Jan. 15) at 7:30 and 9 p.m.

Pinetree Secondary graduate Ed Hill will perform a stand-up act on Saturday. VIA KINGEDHILL.COM

And as per the provincial health orders, both events will be at half capacity and ticket-holders must wear a mask. Unlike his Candy & Smiley program last year that focused on his identity and his relationship with his Taiwanese-Canadian parents, who live in Coquitlam, the new material switches gears, zeroing in on his connections with the women in his life — namely, his mom, wife and the “motherland” where he grew up: Canada. “If Taiwan is where I was born and it’s my father then Canada is my mother and has shapen my values,” Hill told the Tri-City News on Dec. 30.

“I’ve realize that the female figures in my life have been the definition of strength, and they’ve represented stability and given me a way to communicate regardless if things are good or bad.” Being able to talk openly, especially about mental health challenges, is a topic that Hill says he wants to explore more. For Asian-Canadians like himself, “it’s a concept that’s new,” Hill said. “It’s something that’s more prevalent in western society.” Mental health is also a theme in Rose’s comedic work. A regular at Yuk Yuk’s who has opened for such stars as

Nikki Payne and Caroline Rhea, Rose speaks freely about her divorce, past drug addiction and internal struggles in her act Heavy Mental Comedy. Meanwhile, Hill plans to team up with Comedy Dynamics at the end of the year — once his new material is polished — to film a second comedy special. His début, which came out last March, dropped on distribution services such as Comcast, Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, Spectrum, Dish, DirectTV, Vimeo and YouTube. 0 +31 "58 .#6!(./ .3 /(( -4 ?#DD 9B4 <(D9B#( *3/( 3B >9B: 7& 9. .$( )D#6( 3' =#'( A9DD(1@; %3 .3 /$3,29//:63C:

A fast-paced play for Stage 43’s 39th anniversary A Coquitlam theatrical troupe that’s been sidelined for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic will be back on stage this month. Stage 43 returns to the Evergreen Cultural Centre on Saturday night with The 39 Steps, a comedy/murder-mystery picked because of its title as the company marks its 39th year. President Claire Pinkett

told the Tri-City News that the show was also selected as the comeback performance because it involves only four actors — key to physical distancing as the virus persists — and the production keeps the crew busy with plenty of sound and lighting cues. “It’s not just a show for the actors,” she said. “It allows everybody to be doing something

all the time because it’s a fast-paced comedy. It’s very entertaining to watch.” Pinkett said the organization has taken “every safety precaution” for the vaccinated cast and crew to be safe during the three months of rehearsals under the direction of Wayne Nolan. And she said ticket-holders can also be assured that the venue is well-ventilated,

with fresh air being pumped into the studio theatre every 20 minutes. As per provincial health orders, the shows are limited to a 50 per cent capacity, with 128 seats available in the 256-seat theatre. Performed by Tri-City residents Ryan Johnson, Luca Herring and Dan Jabour, as well as Kelsey Robertson, The 39 Steps is an Alfred Hitchcock-meets-Monty

Python play that sees nearly 150 costume changes for the various characters. “It’s a laugh a minute,” Pinkett said. Jabour takes on the lead role of Richard Hannay, while Robertson plays Annabella Schmidt/Pamela/ Margaret; Johnson and Herring are Clown 1 and 2, respectively. Showtimes for The 39

Steps at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) are on Jan. 15 at 8 p.m., Jan. 16 at 3 p.m., and Jan. 19 to 21 at 8 p.m. The Jan. 19 show is a two-for-one for adult seats (use promo code 3939). Ticket-holders must be double vaccinated and wear a mask while inside the venue. Visit evegreenculturalcentre. ca or call 604-927-6555.

Pushing paint eased creative block during pandemic If you happen to spot an animal or object in one of Melanie Ellery’s acrylic paintings and point it out to the Port Moody artist, she’ll likely get a giggle. “OK,” she says with a laugh. “I’m glad that you see it. It’s just for you.” Ellery is an abstract artist who creates bold, colourful and expressive works from the city’s Esplanade Art Studios, a space she’s had since March 2020 — the month the world went into lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A PoMo resident since 2017, the graphic artist moved from Vancouver to

Wishing You Were Here (left) and Mysterious Ways are in Melanie Ellery’s début solo show, which opens tonight (Thursday) at PoMoArts. VIA POMOARTS

the City of the Arts to get a fresh start “but then everything shut down just as I got the studio.” “As a creative person, I found I was stuck with my art practice and I had a really hard time. I needed connections but I didn’t know where to go. I had a lot of

things to get out of my head.” For inspiration, Ellery pulled out some past pieces and began to push paint around on canvas and wood panels. “I didn’t have any idea of where it was going,” she recalled. Today (Thursday), she’ll launch her new series —

titled Coming Together — in a début solo show at PoMoArts (formerly the Port Moody Arts Centre). The 15 or so pieces that will be displayed are “uplifting and will make you feel good,” Ellery told the Tri-City News last week. “I’ve never been one to

make brooding work. I don’t have a deep social commentary. I just love colour and that’s been the impetus of my work always — trying to get a feeling and magic.” A founding member of the artist collective 13 feet off the ground, Ellery has had plenty of international inspiration: Before the virus hit globally, she took part in artist residencies in Graniti, Sicily; New Mexico; and San José del Cabo, Mexico. On Jan. 20, Ellery will speak about how she created Coming Together in a Facebook Live presentation via PoMoArts starting at 7:15 p.m. Visit pomoarts.ca.

JUNIOR HOCKEY

BCHL confident it can recover from body blows Postponement of all-star weekend is the latest setback MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

This should have been a week of celebration for the BC Hockey League. But instead of welcoming the Junior A circuit’s best players to Penticton Jan. 1416 for its 60th anniversary All-Star festivities including a three-on-three tournament played on an outdoor rink and a prospect’s game to showcase its stars to scouts, the resurgent COVID-19 pandemic has put the event on ice until 2023.

It’s the latest blow in almost two years of successive setbacks for the BCHL and its 18 teams brought on by the global pandemic and then catastrophic flooding and road damage from a series of storms last November that essentially cut the league in two. Still, commissioner Chris Hebb is confident the group will emerge from the adversity stronger and more cohesive than ever. “The league has been around for 60 years and it’s created a great reputation,” he said. “We don’t have a lot of complaining.” Not that there’s been any shortage of concerns. The onset of the COVID19 public health emergency

in March, 2020, came just as the BCHL playoffs were entering their second round. The BCHL, like virtually every sports organization around the globe, shut down, hoping the contagion would only present a temporary blip. It wasn’t. The subsequent cancellation of the post-season deprived the league and its owners of an important revenue source. Bank accounts were depleted even further when the 2020–21 season started with a schedule of exhibition games played in empty arenas until that was shut down after just five weeks by SEE

BURNABY’S HOME MEDICAL EXPERTS

Starting in January 2022, we’ll be performing the next phase of a project to upgrade our 100+ year old tunnel that moves water from Coquitlam reservoir to Bunzten Lake for generating electricity at Lake Buntzen 1 Powerhouse. To do this work, we’ll be diverting water from the Coquitlam Reservoir to the Coquitlam River from January 17 to May 15, 2022. This means that there will be higher ﬂow and water levels than normal in the river during this time.

MEDICAL SUPPLIES Putting People First Since 1966

Regency Medical Supplies has been in the home health business since 1966 and continues to be owned and operated by the original family members.

With storm season also upon us, we request that the public be extra careful when active around the river since water levels can rise and ﬂuctuate without warning during rainstorms. Water levels at Buntzen Lake are expected to be at low operating levels throughout the tunnel outage. Users are asked to exercise caution and obey safety signs and barriers.

the onset of the pandemic’s second wave. When the league was able to reconvene a season last spring, it had to gather most of its Canadian teams (the U.S.-based Wenatchee Wild was forced to suspend play because of border closures, and the Langley Rivermen opted out) in five regional pods across the province for games against geographical rivals, again in empty arenas and with no championship to refill the coffers and fuel fan excitement. “It’s been tough,” Hebb said. “We’ve depleted our rainy day fund.” While the 2021–22 season started with capacity restrictions, they were quickly eased and the BCHL seemed back on the road to a more normal campaign. Until some of the key roads teams use to get around the province were damaged and closed by last November’s

record-setting rainstorms. Some games were cancelled or postponed.

The Coquitlam Express spent two days stranded in

Kamloops when the team couldn’t continue its journey home from a road trip that included stops in Merritt and Prince George. Again, the league adjusted, reconfiguring its schedule to reduce travel around the province by eliminating inter-conference games. Now, it’s the highly contagious Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus that’s wreaking havoc. Several teams have reported exposures, scuttling games and practices. Attendance at arenas has been capped at 50 per cent capacity until at least the end of January. With the number of games to be fit back into the schedule, Hebb is unsure whether the season can be fully realized by March 20, its scheduled conclusion. As a result, the final standings will be determined by the winning percentage of each team.

Still, Hebb said, “If we can play games, we will,” adding any decisions will be based upon the best safety practices for players, staff and fans. Through it all, the commissioner, who started his tenure in 2018 by visiting each franchise, has had to juggle all the league’s myriad moving parts and disparate owners through online meetings. “The toughest part is you don’t get to look the guy in the eye and have a conversation,” Hebb said. “There is a challenge when you don’t get to have face-to-face meetings.” So far, though, he said there’s been unwavering support from owners for the league’s primary mission to continue the development of young hockey players with an eye to getting them post-secondary opportunities, no matter the hurdles and expense involved.

“There hasn’t been any panic,” Hebb said. “People are proud to be a part of the league and they’re also proud to see these kids have a great experience and get scholarships to college.” The postponement of the all-star festivities and a complementary Road Show event in late February that would have seen the Prince George Spruce Kings and Salmon Arm Silverbacks play a pair of games in Burns Lake in partnership with the Lake Babine First Nation has been a bit of a blow, though. Hebb said the league has identified special events as a way to solidify its business and take competition to the next level. “It is our belief that sponsors and fans want events,” he said, pointing to the enduring popularity of the World Junior tournament. “These events have the opportunity to set the league apart.”

WE’RE HIRING

WILSON, Robert Bracken (Bob) 1934 - 2021 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bob Wilson. Following a stroke in March, Bob passed during the afternoon December 3, 2021. Due to Covid restrictions, regrettably the family were unable to with him when he passed. Bob is survived by his wife of 65 years Bernice, sons Doug (Sheila), MacGregor and Todd. Adored by grandchildren MacGregor, Monique, Joey, Robbie, Crystal and Jessie. Great grandchildren Mac, Ben, Abby and Emerson. Bob was born and raised in Minnedosa, Manitoba. After finishing high school the family moved to Winnipeg where Bob attended the University of Manitoba. During school break he worked as an orderly, where met his future wife Bernice. They married in 1955 and moved to B.C. Bob graduated as a Psychiatric Nurse in 1958, then moved on to UBC to study Pharmacy. He graduated as a Pharmacist with a B. Sc. Pharmacy Degree. Bob started his career with Owl Drugs until the company closure. He then moved onto Wilson Pharmacy in Port Coquitlam, where he spent 20+ years building friendships with co-workers and customers, until his retirement. Bob enjoyed his and Benices yearly visits to Maui for the month of October, which they did for the last 20+ years. Most of all Bob enjoyed the friendships that they maintained since University years, a great group who have assisted the family during his illness. At Bob’s request, there will be no celebration of life. If friends so desire, a donation to a charity of your choice in memory of Bob, would be appreciated.
