Mundy Park plan dropped Parks committee says residents spoke up By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A forest adventure playground in Coquitlam? Maybe one day. Eco-tourism in Mundy Park? Never. That’s the recommendation Coquitlam council will have next Monday as it seals the fate for a business to build zip lines, ladders and swings in part of Mundy’s tree canopy. The city parks committee unanimously voted down the proposal Monday after the city received a record number of responses to an online forum on the topic. The online discussion held this summer drew 700 responses while 600 surveys were completed and 196 written comments were posted. From the survey, 88% were opposed to a forest playground while 89% rejected Mundy Park as the location for such a business. “This was a very emotional issue for many citizens,” Lori MacKay, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, told the committee Monday. According to the feedback, critics want Mundy untouched and don’t want a commercial enterprise in the park. Still, supporters of the proposal liked the idea of youth being active in a natural setting and having a local eco-tourism site. City staff asked the committee to put the proposal on the backburner until 2012 — after next year’s civic election.

PoCo sends out 120 bear tickets By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A jump in the number of bear sightings in Port Coquitlam has prompted the municipality’s bylaw department to issue more than 120 fines to homes on the north side of the city. The first batch of $150 tickets are being mailed out this week to homes that have failed to properly secure garTRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO bage and other animal attractants.

Education first Homes for Good targets priority; now, blocked by provincial regs enforcement
By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
It was supposed be a permanent solution to end homelessness in the Tri-Cities and set an ambitious goal of housing 40 people by the end of 2010. But close to one year after Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore launched his Homes for Good Society, bureaucratic hurdles have kept the organization from housing anyone. The society, which plans to use private donations to help bridge the gap between welfare’s $375 housing allowance and actual market rates, hit a roadblock earlier this year. Welfare regulations stipulate that if anyone other than the provincial government subsidizes a person’s rent, the amount the person on assistance receives every month will be reduced. The extra income would also make a person on social assistance ineligible for many of the mental health and addiction services offered to them. “If we gave them a rent subsidy, they would start to pass certain thresholds of income,” Moore told The Tri-City News. “Revenue Canada would see that as income... and they would no longer qualify for many of the services they receive.” He said the Homes for Good Society is working with the provincial government and BC Housing to try to remove some of the barriers to implementing its housing-first strategy. That method, which has been successful in places such as Toronto and Portland, Oregon, seeks to match people with market housing, whether it be a basement suite or an apartment. Once a person is housed, it is believed that they can then begin to address some of the issues that

A society started by Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore has run into roadblocks in achieving its goal of finding long-term housing for 40 homeless people by the end of this year. have led them to be homeless. More than $500 per month is necessary, according to Moore’s calculations, in order to top up a welfare recipient’s housing allowance enough to afford market housing. He added that there are people, landlords and businesses in the Tri-Cities that are ready to provide money but until the issues with the provincial government are resolved, no fundraising can take place. “It has been frustrating that it has taken so long,” Moore said. “It is a process that we are required to go through and once we have it figured out, it will work for the long term.”
The society will have to revise its goals of housing 10 people by the end of March 2010 and another 30 by the end of the year. But despite the delays, Moore said he remains optimistic the program will be able to move forward in the coming months. “We are now working with BC Housing to overcome some of these barriers,” he said. “This fall, we will start to see and have the ability to place people into homes.” A representative from the Ministry of Housing and Social Assistance did not return requests for an interview by The Tri-City News’ deadline Tuesday. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Healthier foods at PoCo sites City recreation facilities will more prominently feature less fatty, sugary foods By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Finding a salty bag of chips or a sugary soda at a Port Coquitlam civic facility will be a bit more difficult after city council passed a healthy food policy Monday. The policy will see healthier choices offered at concession stands and vending machines in city facilities while the number of unhealthy products will be reduced. “It is incumbent on the city to help bring about healthy choices,” said Coun. Brad West, who chairs PoCo’s healthy community committee. “The policy will also ensure that healthy options are more prominently displayed.” Many residents live in an environ-
ment where they are constantly exposed to unhealthy food choices, said a city staff report, adding that foods that are high in sugar and unhealthy fat and low in fibre are contributing to an obesity problem across the country. Currently, only 13% of all items sold at civic facilities fall under the province’s “choose most” or “choose sometimes” food categories while 87% of food and beverages fall under the “choose least” or are not recommended at all. The new policy will ensure that a minimum of 75% of all beverage products and 70% of all food products offered at civic concession stands and in vending machines will fall under the “choose most” or “choose sometimes” categories. Healthy food will be more prominently displayed and educational materials outlining why certain foods are better for someone’s health will also be distributed to residents. The city hopes its policy will set a standard for the rest
of the community to follow, the report said. Larry Gustafson, a medical health officer with the Fraser Health Authority, applauded Port Coquitlam’s efforts. He pointed to research showing that changing the food environment is an effective way of encouraging healthy food choices. “We want to make the healthy choice the easy choice,” he told councillors during Monday night’s meeting. “Research has shown people are more likely to eat foods that are easier to access.” Other Fraser Health Authority research shows that less than half of the residents living in the north Fraser area eat the recommended five fruits or vegetable servings per day. Gustafson also noted that Canada is ranked fifth out of 34 countries in child obesity. Coquitlam council passed a similar policy regarding food sold in city facilities in 2006. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
BEAR ESSENTIALS

The The number of bear free drop-in session is sightings in the early part for adults and will teach of the season was averpeople how to avoid conage, Scoones said, but in flict with bears on hikrecent weeks the numing trails and in local bers have jumped. More parks. Those who wish than 300 bear sightings to attend should meet at have been reported this the parking area at the year, with more than 40 Quarry Road entrance of those coming since of the park on Sunday, Sept. 1. Sept. 19. The program Sightings have been runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. rising since July, which prompted the city’s community safety committee to ask bylaw officials to begin issuing fines to residents who are still not securing their animal attractants. Residents are asked to lock up their garbage and secure their kitchen scraps in wildlife-resistant enclosures (a garage or shed), or by using a city-approved wildliferesistant lock. Homeowners must also set out their carts between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on collection days. People who receive notices should not be caught off guard, according to Coquitlam Bear Aware co-ordinator Drake Stephens. He said the local education effort to highlight the importance of securing garbage has been going on for years and that most residents are aware of the bear problem. “We have had five years of education,” he said. “We have sent out letters to problem areas, we have knocked on doors, we have given people every chance to comply. For the few that are that stubborn... I think once in a while, a fine might be necessary.” The city of Coquitlam has yet to issue any fines to residents who fail to secure their animal attractants but that could change. Bylaw services manager Andrea McDonald told The Tri-City Newss most homeowners in bear problem areas have been good about complying with the regulations. After 2,000 letters were sent to residents in areas such as Chineside, bylaw officers returned to the problem neighbourhoods to find only 36 violations, she said. In Coquitlam, as in PoCo, educating the public is the main focus of the Bear Aware program but McDonald said enforcement could be used as a last resort. “We have had our Bear Aware person go out to those properties,” she said. “We will go back and, if they are still in violation, they will be ticketed.”
BEAR TIPS
Homes and businesses in bear-prone areas are asked to secure wildlife attractants such as: • household garbage; • food scraps and food-soiled papers; • ripened unpicked fruit and fallen fruit; • beehives, bird feeders and pet food; • beverage containers; • barbecue grills and outdoor refrigerators/freezers; • open compost piles; • and grease barrels, petroleum products and chemical products. Bear sightings should be reported to the provincial conservation officer services at the 24-hour toll-free hotline at 1-877-952-RAPP. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Bylaw aimed at thefts Scrap metal dealers in Port Coquitlam will soon have to register their transactions in an effort to discourage thieves. The rising price of copper and other metals has led to an increase in metal thefts, often facilitated by scrap metal dealers who buy the stolen goods. Even Port Coquitlam was the victim of metal theft several years ago when copper wiring was pulled out of some lighting fixtures at Gates Park. PoCo’s bylaw, which passed first three readings Monday night, would force local vendors to register their transactions. A person selling metal to a dealer would have to provide their contact information and a signature, which would be provided to the Scrap Metal Dealer’s Goods Information Register. The information would be faxed to police daily. So far, Surrey and Langley are participating in the program and more municipalities are expected to join.
Neighbours help catch five suspects With plenty of help from Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam residents, local Mounties nabbed five suspects in a break-in Saturday morning in the Cape Horn area. Neighbours called police after they saw the five men breaking open the front door of a home in the 2000-block of Palliser Avenue. When Coquitlam RCMP officers arrived, the suspect vehicle, a white pick-up truck stolen in Kamloops, left with three of the suspects on board. The two left behind were arrested immediately. The truck was eventually dumped in the Citadel Heights area of PoCo, where a police dog picked up the scent and located two more suspects nearby. The last suspect was arrested after somebody noticed a suspiciouslooking character hiding in a garbage bin near the original location. All five suspects were remanded in custody over the weekend and are scheduled to appear in court this week to face charges of possession of stolen property, break and enter and breaches of probation; one man also had a warrant out for his arrest stemming from a Vancouver charge of breach of conditions. The men are from throughout the Lower Mainland and are between 20 and 31 years of age. “With several police cars responding to the call, the residents of the area were essential,� said Cpl. Bert Paquet in a release. “By continually communicating updates to police and providing suspect descriptions, without placing themselves at risk, they were key to the successful apprehension of the five suspects.� spayne@tricitynews.com

‘We need to keep going’ By Janis Warren
The City of Coquitlam HEROS Program is providing the following seminars to help you and your family become more prepared for a major emergency.
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
T
he 1,622 students at Terry Fox secondary in Port Coquitlam wrapped up their first week of the school year Friday with a refresher on their school’s namesake — and a vow to carry on his dream to raise money for cancer research. Leadership teacher Dean Whitson told The Tri-City News after last Friday’s assembly he and his 60 students will rally the Grade 9s to 12s, their parents and staff to reach a June 2011 target of $30,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation to mark the 30th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run, to be held this year on Sunday, Sept. 19. Though the leadership class “is in the brainstorming stages right now,” Whitson said some fundraising ideas include Twoonies for Terry days and class competitions. “With $30,000, I know it’s a lofty goal but we’ve raised $20,000 and $25,000 in the past,” he said, “so I know that we can do it. This is a special year.” The campaign started last Friday with Fox alumnus Greg Moore, PoCo’s mayor, delivering a speech about the legacy of Fox, whom he described as the “greatest Canadian hero.” Moore, whose father Bruce Moore coached Fox and taught at PoCo high and Terry Fox secondary for 35 years, said people around the world are inspired by the city’s hometown hero. Before his talk at the school, Moore said he met with a delegation from Korea that knew about Fox’s 1980 Marathon of Hope and “they felt they had a connection with this community and it was because of Terry Fox.” Moore also presented the trailer to the new Steve Nash biography, titled Into the Wind, which will air on TSN2 Sept. 19. Students were transfixed as they watched a large screen hanging from the gym ceiling, showing images of Fox’s cross-country odyssey. As a sign of support, school staff — including some who hadn’t been born when Fox did his Marathon of Hope — also sported the blue 30th anniversary Fox Run T-shirts for the day. “Here we are, 30 years later, and still fighting the disease,” Moore concluded. “We need to keep going to keep Terry’s vision going, to keep the dream alive.”

Future tax rates, recreation fees and the placement of new parks and roads are just some of the issues Port Coquitlam plans to tackle with the development of a corporate strategic plan. The city is beginning the process of gathering input from its residents for the creation of a planning document that will guide decisions in the municipality for the next 10 years. “We rely on this plan to determine what services we will deliver to the community, so it’s critical that it reflects the community’s priorities today,” said Mindy Smith, PoCo’s director of corporate services. “The plan will turn the community’s vision into reality.” Smith will be leading the action team that is guiding the plan development along with consulting firm Lucent Strategies, which was hired by the city. Everything from the location of new roads to the number of trucks at the city’s fire hall will be outlined in the plan, which staff is calling the 2020 Vision: Let’s Get Clear on Port Coquitlam’s Future. A strategic plan would also look at how the municipality intends to meet demands in services while maintaining an affordable tax rate. Financial and environmental sustainability are some of the goals that council and staff hope to outline in the plan, along with managing population growth and development. “This is not a one-time plan that is put on a shelf,” said Pam Ryan, the president of Lucent Strategies, during Monday night’s council meeting. “It should reflect the collective vision of the organization.” Opportunities for input begin next month and will include a telephone survey and an online survey in October. Focus groups will be held in November followed by an open house in the new year.

8 Tri-City News Wednesday, September 15, 2010
More park okayed By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A west Coquitlam neighbourhood that’s about to see a major upheaval with rapid transit will have a bit more green space. On Monday, city council added 0.2 acres to Oakdale Park by converting a vacant city-owned lot previously zoned as residential into parkland. The park is located between North Road and Tyndall Street. Elizabeth Croft of the Oakdale Heritage Society said the city property is indistinguishable from the rest of the park and has been used by children for many years for sleigh rides in the winter. Before Monday’s public hearing, the city received nine letters supporting the rezoning and official community plan change for 639 Tyndall St. “None of us knew it was [zoned] residential,” a long-time Oakdale resident told council before it unanimously approved the expansion. Burquitlam and Oakdale, a community largely made up of single-family homes located west of North Road and north of Como Lake Avenue, is feeling the pinch of redevelopment, especially with the Evergreen Line expected to be built soon from Lougheed Town Centre and up North Road to Port Moody, then on to Coquitlam Town Centre. “Our cor ner of Coquitlam does not have enough green space and our density is increasing; we need to carve out
and secure all the park space we can,” Croft wrote to the city. Other Coquitlam news:

C o q u i t l a m To w n Centre residents having to contend with pile driving for new highrises may soon get some relief. Coun. Brent Asmundson said the engineering committee he chairs is working with city engineers and planners to lessen the constant thump by contractors. “It’s an issue that we have been aware of for some time now,” he said at Monday’s council meeting. “We don’t have an answer at this time but we are working on it.” Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager for planning, said city staff are looking at best practices by other municipalities to mitigate the noise and vibration from the heavy machines. New technology is being developed for pile driving
and advances are being made in reducing noise. The city has also asked contractors to start later on weekends, he said. Build-out of the Town Centre core is expected for many years, McIntyre said. Coun. Selina Robinson said staff and councillors have received a lot of complaints. She suggested the city stop pile driving during certain hours but Asmundson said that would only extend the number of pile driving days on a site. The comments came while city council considered — and later unanimously approved — second and third readings to rezone a major residential and commercial development at Glen Drive and Pinetree Way, south of city hall. Cressey Development plans 169 one- and twobedroom condos in a highrise at 3004-3010 Glen Dr., plus six groundlevel commercial units and a nine-storey office tower with two groundlevel commercial spaces. jwarren@tricitynews.com

It’s a gov’t job
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
T
he road has been long and riddled with potholes but homeless people living in the Tri-Cities must know by now that people care. The evidence is ample in the dozens of volunteers who help out at the three food banks each week; the coat, food and care package drives that take place each winter; and the temporary church shelters that have been in place for several years. Politicians and property owners have come a long way since homelessness was first identified in the region. From apprehension to acceptance, the community has come to understand the need for a permanent shelter and a business owner is offering modular containers to set up a temporary shelter until a permanent one is built. This is an amazing development and much of the credit goes to Rob Thiessen, whose Hope for Freedom Society has done such a good job running the temporary shelters and reaching out to homeless people. The group has a high success rate in getting people off the street and Thiessen has done an outstanding job in mobilizing community support, with the help of the Tri-Cities Homeless Task Group. Thiessen now believes the community could even be tapped to cover $1 million in operating costs for a permanent shelter so it could get it built sooner. He may be right. People are tired of waiting for the government to act and may be willing to reach deep in their pockets. The Salvation Army is a good model because it relies on fundraising and some of that money goes to shelters. But despite the good intentions and excellent track record of such private entities, funding a homeless shelter is really the job of government and there is a danger in relying too heavily on community fundraising. Good causes come and go and support for them tends to ebb and flow with the economy, trends and the commitment of those at the helm. Should the community get involved and cover some of the costs? Absolutely. But in the end, a full-time shelter needs stable funding— government funding.
Savages in the bush leave their garbage behind AS I SEE IT Andrew Holota
F
resh, clean water the colour of jade. Craggy peaks and icy, gushing streams. Clear night skies dusted with millions of stars. That’s the magic and majesty of the B.C. outdoors. The description above could be one of a thousand spots but, in this case, it’s the north end of Harrison Lake. My wife and I spent a couple of days kayaking this beautiful body of water and its farthest reaches, where only a handful of boaters venture, even fewer paddlers, and — sorry to spoil the idyllic imagery — an abundance of trash-strewing party-animals. Human pigs, to be more descriptive. It’s an ugly, consistent factor in Beautiful B.C.: Where there are roads, there are slobs in vehicles who regard the outdoors as nothing more than a place to yee-hah and get stupid-drunk.
It was a reconnaissance trip for us to find launch points for future excursions with family and friends. There are several points along the west side of the lake where there’s road access to the water and spots to camp. And in each one of them, there was a disgusting mountain of trash. People had simply driven away from their beer cans and booze bottles, abandoning bags of refuse, food scraps and packaging, ripped clothes, busted chairs and broken glass. There was even the proverbial kitchen sink — actually, a plastic laundry tub heaped with empties. The party was over. No need to clean up. Who cares? Hey, it’s only the boonies, where you can walk 10 feet away from the tent and defecate — if you make it that far. Why bother to even bury it? After all, bears don’t. They don’t mind the trash, either. Nor do the raccoons and crows. They tear it apart and scatter it even further. In fact, those bears will likely be coming back to where they found garbage — bad news for the next batch of campers, who

might find themselves on the wrong side of a hungry bruin. Those responsible for this are worse than disgusting. You hardly fit the label of “civilized.” We know your type because we’ve seen you. You are usually young, in your late teens or early 20s. You scream and yell profanities. Your music can be heard miles away. You appreciate absolutely nothing of the natural surroundings. If the road isn’t too rough, you drive cars but, mostly, you’re in trucks, sullying the reputation of those of us who also use four-wheel-drive vehicles to get into the outback but treat it as a precious place to be respected. One of the spots on the lake to which we paddled could only otherwise be reached by an extremely rough road, beyond the capability of ordinary 4x4s. That means whoever drove away from the appalling mess of garbage did so in special off-road trucks or ATVs. Couldn’t find any room in your fancy rigs to
take out all the trash you hauled in, eh guys? Left it for someone else to drag out, right? And who might that be? The two of us in our kayaks? We took out our own garbage, thanks. One small Ziploc bag containing a couple of flattened cans, some packaging and a handful of orange peels. It’s called notrace camping. I know that’s an alien concept to the party savages. They leave their mark on the outdoors like a dung heap in the middle of someone else’s living room. It would be absolutely delightful to come in after you leave, pick up all of your filth, take it to your homes and throw it all onto your front steps, or, better yet, your beds. Isn’t that nice? How’s it feel to have your space used as a trash can? That’s what you’re doing to the outdoors, which is our space, too.

HST referendum and recall, and the alternatives The Editor, Re. “Majority vote enough to repeal HST” (www.tricitynews.com, Sept. 13). First we are bilked $2 billion in HST tax transfers to big business at the expense of the electorate and now Gordon Campbell’s government is going to have a nonbinding referendum next year at a cost of $30 million more of our money. The premier and his sheep are so gutless that they will avoid at all costs revealing in the legislature their non-support for B.C.’s citizens with a free vote. As a result, British Columbians’ ire has reached a feverish pitch never seen before as we observe their arrogance in ignoring the public will. Our trust was already

Anti-HST campaigners Chris Delaney of Port Coquitlam and Bill Vander Zalm. at an all-time low. This latest travesty just puts their credibility at zero and our resolve to recall these so-called Liberals escalates higher and
higher as our anger festers and grows exponentially. I venture that this ongoing act of betrayal will ensure that the 50%
threshold to recall these MLAs will be surpassed in a flash as the populace stampedes to rid themselves of this dictatorship.
The Editor, I would like to preface my comments by stating that for many years I was a staunch and fervent NDP and union supporter. I detested Gordon Campbell and the BC Liberals for who they were and what they stood for. Fortunately, I lost my delusional, idealistic vision of life under the reins of the NDP after the Glen Clark regime and the emergence of Carol James. It began with the Fast Cat Ferries, a $460-million debacle. Then a huge debt was inherited by the BC Liberals when they came to power.
Premier Campbell’s downfall with the HST is in the fact he wasn’t up front with us. Like it or not, taxes are a necessary evil, unquestionably crucial to financing and funding every aspect of our society: health care, highways, infrastructure, education, public transit, etc. Most politicians do not give us, the taxpayer/voter, enough credit when it comes to understanding and the big picture. Wouldn’t it have been much simpler and less painful to everyone involved if Premier Campbell had explained that we have two choices: the HST to finance and maintain the status quo or no HST and make some huge cutbacks on services, programs and construction projects? Heralded as an oner-
ous and egregious tax by the opposition, media and Bill Vander Zalm, the HST has one aspect that may be considered a leveller of the playing field: It is non-discriminatory in that it affects each and every one of us equally, rich and poor (unlike income tax). If the NDP gets into power, and I despair at the thought, Ms. James will either have to have a magic wand or a genie who is going to grant her three wishes, otherwise she and her party have not put forth any other options or solutions. They won’t cut taxes — no government ever does. And contrary to the ideology of the NDP, social programs, labour unions and welfare programs do not stimulate the economy. Neil Swanson, Coquitlam

Full day kindergarten – It’s back to school time and, in today’s skill based economy, it’s more important than ever to ensure children get an early start on their education. That’s why the Province of B.C. is implementing full day kindergarten for more than half of all five-year olds in 2010 and for all eligible children starting in 2011. Providing kids with an early start will give them the skills they need to be successful in school and to be prepared for the opportunities of the twenty-first century.

From PoCo to Russia for 2014 Tri-City IT guy part of effort in Sochi Olympics
IN QUOTES
“I believe in what the Olympics have to offer in terms of bringing people together.”
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Port Coquitlam man is taking his Vancouver Olympic experience to Russia for the next two years to help with the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. Last week, Dan Conick flew to Moscow as the venue operations and planning manager for Atos Origin to implement computer software for the Sochi games. As the third-largest infor mation technology firm in Europe with 50,000 employees, Atos has a contract with the International Olympic Committee to integrate, manage and secure the vast IT systems that relay sports results. “That means the results come through our computer systems before they go out to media and the rest of the world,” Conick said last week before leaving. Conick is no stranger to the Olympics: He worked for Atos for two years prior to the 2010 Games in Vancouver as its regional mountain venue planning manager. He was also a vol-

Meetings on new Cent. site By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
School District 43 is exploring options for rebuilding Centennial secondary school and is asking the public for help in making a decision. And the first meeting on the issue is set for tonight (Wednesday). Assistant superintendent Dan Derpak said there are advantages and disadvantages to two possible locations for the school and he wants neighbours and parents to help decide which is best. “We’re giving both sites equal opportunity and we’re going to allow them to measure their thinking based on the criteria that are essential to make the decision,” Derpak said. Two meetings are planned to get comment on two possible locations for the $49-million school, which will house a neighbourhood learning centre and replace existing facilities such as the current teaching kitchen, shop and theatre. It will be a smaller building than the current Centennial and will be built for 1,250 students. Opening is set for sometime in 2014, with construction to start in January 2012. One option is to build the school on the southwest corner of the existing Centennial property and the other is to build it on district-owned property at Porter Street and King Albert Avenue, between Como Lake middle school and Blue Mountain Park. Derpak said the current Centennial site poses construction constraints. For example, there is a natural gas pipeline running through the property, reducing the size of the parcel available for building, and construction would have to take place while students are in school because there are too many of them and too many speciality programs for them to be relocated temporarily. The other location, known as the Winslow site, offers a variety of options, Derpak said, although there are neighbourhood concer ns about traffic and transit. The public will be asked to weigh the pros and cons of both properties at meetings tonight (Sept. 15) at Centennial and Sept. 22 at Winslow Centre. Both meetings will start at 7 p.m. and will involve explanations from the architects and group discussion. Derpak said feedback will be compiled in a report for a board meeting in October. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Get in the swim this weekend at Hyde Creek Things are getting back to normal at Port Coquitlam’s Hyde Creek rec centre. After a three-week maintenance shut-down, the hot tub and steam room re-opened Saturday. The leisure pool will open Sept. 18 due to a delay in shipping acoustic roof tiles that will replace aging insulating material in the pool area. In the meantime, lap pool users can expect some schedule changes this week to accommodate lessons and classes; visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/ recreation or call 604-927-7946 for details. To thank pool users for their patience, Hyde Creek (1379 Laurier Ave., Port Coquitlam) will host a free family swim from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 19 after the Terry Fox Hometown
Lube Express s
Run. Swimmers and other rec centre users should note, however, that Laurier Avenue and the recreation centre parking lot will be closed to traffic until 1 p.m. because of the run. During the maintenance shutdown, workers have repainted the roof and cedar beams, done pre-installation work for new pool lighting, painted and retiled the pools. The shutdown was timed to correspond with the $3-million renovation project at Hyde Creek that is now 86% complete. Those upgrades include water infiltration repairs, new landscaping, exterior painting and signage, an improved customer service area, energy-efficient lighting upgrades and more. The project is expected to be finished in November.

Community ‘mobilized’ continued from front page
MacKay said the parks department is short-staffed and in the midst of updating the city’s master parks plan, its “number one priority.” Committee members said they would consider a forest playground proposal after the master parks plan is complete in two years, and after a broader discussion about the future of eco-tourism in Coquitlam. But given the heated input over the summer, they wanted Mundy Park off the table. “This has split the community like I’ve never seen before,” Coun. Lou Sekora said. “It didn’t split the community, it mobilized it,” Coun. Selina Robinson retorted. “I just don’t want to go through this again... We heard you: Mundy Park is not going to be developed for this kind of activity — now or in the future.” “We heard the public. The overwhelming voice is for preserving Mundy Park,” said Coun. Neal Nicholson, who moved the motion to drop Mundy from the proposal. But Coun. Doug Macdonell, the committee chair, said eco-tourism opportunities need to be explored and added, “I don’t want to give the impression that we’re opposed” to a forest playground. Macdonell also pointed out council was unanimous in seeking public input during the holiday months — a move largely criticized by residents. Yesterday, Tom Benson, chief “experience” officer of Wildplay Ltd., a Victoria-based company that was approached by Coquitlam staff to pitch forest playground plans to the city, said Coquitlam isn’t the only municipality where his business wants to set up. “Our goal is to establish ourselves solidly in the

Lower Mainland,” he said, adding, “There are several others that we are talking to at this point.” Benson said many Canadian and American cities want to capitalize on their land base to reap revenue during the global recession. “In California, they’re shutting down parks because they can’t maintain them,” he said. He declined to say how much the city of Maple Ridge, where Wildplay has a playground on a former campsite, was bringing in annually, but suggested, “It’s generating twice as much as when a campground was there.” MacKay said the city needs ways to attract tourists. “We have excellent shopping and we have a casino with a theatre but, beyond this, there is little to draw visitors to our city,” she wrote in her committee report. “We lack tourism products that capitalize on our amazing natural environment.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

More red light cameras coming By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
ICBC is installing 140 new cameras at intersections across B.C. this fall to bust red-light runners. It’s a nearly five-fold increase from the 30 existing cameras that snap the licence plates of drivers who race through lights on red, earning them $167 tickets in the mail. The $20-million upgrade will eliminate the old film cameras, which rotated through 120 targeted intersections, in favour of new digital ones that automatically transmit images of offenders’ plates to the ticket processing centre. The new cameras will remain fixed in 140 locations. ICBC isn’t yet releasing the list of target intersections, saying that will come via a government announcement later this year, when the new system is operating. But it’s a fair bet it will mean a significantly higher risk of getting caught for prolific red-light scofflaws, particularly in cities where there are already
plenty of intersections with camera mounts. The Tri-Cities has half a dozen such locations. “We looked at over 1,400 signalized intersections throughout the province and gradually winnowed that down,” said Mark Milner, manager of ICBC road safety programs. He estimated there will be a 6% reduction in serious injury and fatal crashes at intersections as a result of the cameras. The amounts paid out in claims for crashes should go down accordingly, he said, covering the cost of the cameras. The ticket fine revenue will go to local municipalities, not to ICBC. The digital system means tickets could go out in days, rather than the current four to six weeks. Although the cameras could run all the time, Milner said each one will only be activated part of the time. The aim, he said, is to maximize safety, not fine revenue. ICBC will study which times of day and days of week it makes most sense to run the cameras. Milner didn’t rule out further expansion of the red-light camera system. “It’s possible we may
consider adding more further down the road,” he said. “Right now, we think we’ve got the optimal road safety benefit per site at 140.” The Integrated Safety Camera Unit issues 20,000 tickets a year to
red light runners. Roughly 40% of serious crashes happen at intersections. The province has recently toughened other provincial penalties for dangerous drivers. New regulations tak-

Something old, some things new Mackin House is 101 years old and the Coquitlam landmark is all spruced up to offer a taste of the city’s beginnings By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
S
he’s looking pretty fit and trim for her age. Her paint is new, the flower beds are tidy and, inside, the antique furniture glows with polish and care. At 101 years old, Coquitlam’s Mackin House is very much a stately lady and this month she’ll be welcoming the community for an open house and barbecue to celebrate. There is plenty to see at the house, which is owned by the city and operated by Coquitlam Heritage Society. The wide veranda, painted Edwardian Buff to go with the era, is welcoming to visitors. At one time, says the society’s executive director, Jill Cook, the front door looked right onto King Edward Avenue, which ran down to Fraser Mills, once one of the largest mills in the British Dominion. Now, it looks out onto a small parking lot and Place des Arts. Whatever changes it has undergone, it is obvious the home — built in 1909 for Fraser Mills managers including its namesake, Henry James Mackin— was designed to be imposing to the workers and comfortable for the people who lived there. The rooms are large and the windows have pleasing views. On the first floor, there is a living room with a piano and fireplace, a dining room with a table that could easily sit 10, and an efficient kitchen with tools and implements that might have been used during the early 1900s. A polished staircase leads up to the second floor, where there is a master bedroom and a nursery as well as a grandmother’s room. All have been decorated to look as if someone just walked from the room, leaving all their important possessions behind. Visitors can see the kinds of toys the children might have played with, the clothes and nightgowns the women might have worn, the cigars the men might have smoked and the toiletry articles, including a commode, that all the residents might have used. The items aren’t original to the home but have been collected over the years by Coquitlam Heritage Society. “We’re trying to reflect life as it was 100 years ago,” explained Cook, who said some of the items have been purchased and others have been donated. In recent months, the society has acquired some new artifacts, including the antique oak dining table, a replica 1850s wood-burning stove that works and will make it easier to host teas and cookie-decorating events. Soon, there will be an arts and crafts-style couch and chairs in the living room. Cook said all the period pieces transport visitors back into time and help them un-

Jill Cook, executive director of the Coquitlam Heritage Society, which operates Mackin House for the city of Coquitlam, says the society’s aim in opening its doors and displays to the public is to let people learn about life in the early, pioneer days of the city. Mackin House was built for Fraser Mills managers.
IN QUOTES
“We’re trying to reflect life as it was 100 years ago.” Jill Cook, Coquitlam Heritage Society derstand what life might have been like in Coquitlam’s early days, when it was a lumber-producing town populated by Frenchspeaking Canadians as well as immigrants from Scotland, Ireland and other countries. Thanks to the collection and donations from the community, Mackin House has become a living museum and an ideal destination for group and individual tours. But there are many events being planned that make Mackin House a cultural and historical centre for the community, as well. Cook has started an historical book club that runs once a month on Thursdays at 2 p.m. The next meeting is tomorrow (Sept. 16) and the group is reading Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden. As well, Sunday coffee
houses will soon resume (for dates and the featured performer, visit www.coquitlamheritage.ca). For those who would like to know about volunteer opportunities, the society is hosting Conversation, Coffee and Cookies next Tuesday, Sept. 21 at 2 p.m. Over the years, many people have donated items or have volunteered or helped to keep Mackin House in good repair. Cook said these acts of kindness and generosity have helped add life to the house. “It’s leaving something behind as a legacy,” she said and once more people are being called upon to share their talents. Volunteers are needed to help construct a large rag rug for the living room, which would have been common in the period. Cook envisions a group of women — men, too — working at the project like neighbours would have done a century ago. Those who are interested in attending an information session are welcome to do so Sept. 23 at 2 p.m. But if you would just like to check out the
grand old home and see how she’s making out after 101 years, you are also invited to the anniversary party this Saturday, Sept. 18 from noon to 4 p.m. There will be burgers from Mr. Mike’s, cupcakes from Thrifty Foods and coffee courtesy of Starbucks. In addition, saxophonist Marlon Paulus will provide entertainment and kids can join in the crafts. Cook promises tours of the house and details on Coquitlam’s early history. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com • For more information, visit www. coquitlamheritage.ca. Mackin House Museum is located at 1116 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam. Note: there is a lot of road construction in the area. Parking is available at Place des Arts and two blocks away at the west end of Mackin Park (enter off Brunette Avenue) but organizers ask you to share a ride, if possible.

From gore to space travel – all for kids A GOOD READ Chris Miller
In between scenes of action, the book drips atmosphere. Warthrop and Henry interview a dying inmate in a madhouse, examine a gruespattered home and eventually descend beneath the graveyard into the creatures’ underground lair. Yancey’s story is not for the faint of heart or sensitive of disposition. The most affecting scene features the clinical, room-by-room description of a house in which anthropophagi have torn a man, woman and four young children to pieces. The book isn’t just gory, it is psychologically dark. All the characters — except for Kearns — seem haunted by mistakes, regrets and secrets from the past. If you can stand the gore and disturbing themes, you will find a carefully told story with well-crafted moments of suspense and dread. Affecting a slightly archaic style, Yancey chooses words with surgical precision and creates characters whom you will think about well after you close the book. In The Carbon Diaries: 2015 by Saci Lloyd, global warming has led Great Britain to enact carbon rationing, which means families must
T
eens facing the horrors of a full year in school might feel like they need some escapist fiction. Here are three picks: a Gothic gore-fest set in the 19th century, a near future examination of how life could suck as a result of global warming and a science fiction novel dealing with an ark ship run by teens. Using a palette of scarlet, gray, yellowishwhite and pink — for blood, brain matter, pus and viscera — author Rick Yancey paints the disturbing picture of a Victorianera monster hunter and his young assistant in The Monstrumologist. Early in the book, Dr. Pellinore Warthrop and his orphaned charge, Will Henry, learn that a pod of horrendous creatures lurks beneath a graveyard in their New England town. Known as “anthropophagi,” the creatures are brutal, headless humanoids with powerful arms, steely talons and gaping, shark-like maws in the middle of their chests. The book starts slowly, with the gruesome examination of a dead anthropophagus, then picks up pace when Warthrop and Henry make a hair-raising visit to the graveyard. Unsure of how to exterminate the creatures, the monstrumologist reluctantly contacts Dr. John Kearns, a handsome, cultured, capable man who may be worse than the monsters he hunts.
cut back on their use of just about everything. Enter Laura Brown, ordinary teenager, who has grown up in London enjoying her creature comforts. Now, even using the hair dryer will earn dreaded “carbon points.” Outside Laura’s home, the world is going mad. Blizzards, drought and rainstorms of biblical proportions batter England. The power goes out in the winter, water runs low in the summer. People take to the streets, protests turn into riots. The government uses police and soldiers to smack down resistance. The stress of adjusting to a fearful new world proves too much for Laura’s family. Her older sister buys plane tickets to Ibiza. Her father loses his job and starts raising a pig in the back yard. Finding home life intolerable, her mom leaves to hang out with a women’s liberation group. In the midst of this chaos, Laura tries to maintain a normal life, struggling to keep her grades up in school, flirting with the boy next door and jamming with her punk band, dirty angels. But as she discovers, “normal” isn’t what it used to be. Adopting a journal style, Lloyd uses Laura’s sarcastic sense of humour to lighten the story, which — thanks to some telling details — seems startlingly plausible. Small and large questions abound. Will Laura stop fixating on the guy next door and start dating her band-mate Adi? More importantly, will her family and friends survive the big storm that hits near the end of the book?
Read to find out. In The Comet’s Curse by Dom Testa, a passing comet has doomed human life on Earth. Particles from its tail carry a deadly infection that is causing adults to waste away. For some reason, though, everyone younger than 18 is immune. Acting quickly, an international consortium of scientists designs a massive space ship, the Galahad, and crews it with the 251 best teenagers they can find, all 16 and under. The teens’ mission is to seek out a new world that will sustain human life so they can start civilization all over again. No pressure, right? Shortly after the ship blasts off, things seem fine but soon a stowaway begins scrawling ominous messages in the corridors. It is clear that he wants to destroy the Galahad — and all hope for the human race with it. Aided by the ship’s computer system, an AI presence named Roc, Triana Martell and the ship’s ruling council must find and stop the saboteur. With suspense, action and appealing teen characters like Martell and chief engineer Gap Lee, who secretly has a crush on her, The Comet’s Curse is a quick but entertaining read suitable for middle school and up. Look for these books and others in your local library. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Chris Miller is the young adult services librarian at Coquitlam Public Library.

The innocence of summer long gone CONTINUING ADVENTURES Naomi Yorke
S
he is alone in the apartment when suddenly she hears a rattling sound. There is an ominous shadow in the back window. Her heart starts to beat quickly. She can feel it pulsating and racing. She feels like her heart will leap right out of her chest. Her palms are sweating. She feels so numb and so alone. All of the others are at school. She is really alone now. She can see the shadow coming closer and the rattling of the doorknob becomes louder. She has no options and nowhere to turn. She grabs her mobile phone and tries to dial but she is paralyzed with fear. She tries to scream but her throat closes up. Then, with all her might she lets out a blood-curdling scream. She terrifies herself and the shadow. The rattle stops and the figure flees. We are students living here in a good neighbourhood. This is no skid row but a respectable enclave where professionals live next to cappuccino bars and upscale toy stores. Imagine being in this situation and imagine how it makes you feel in terms of security. Just as the school year was about to start in Chicago, my roommates and I signed up for new student orientation. We left our friend, a house guest, behind as we went to help out at school only to give her the scare of her life in our cozy little suburban apartment. Someone had tried to break in through our kitchen door as she sat in the front room. When an event like this occurs, the traumatic effects can begin to take
their toll on your comfort. Suddenly, every innocuous sound is a potential B&E. Complacency has departed — those carefree days of summer are really over. You are on edge and you have the jitters. Our thoughts and the thoughts of all of our parents turn to security, alarm systems and bars on windows. This could happen anywhere. Twice, we were robbed in our Port Coquitlam home too. People have this image of Chicago (big American city) being unsafe. But there are great neighbourhoods, like this one, where this kind of occurrence is rare. There are bad people everywhere and people who take advantage of the vulnerable and the innocent. As for me and my roommates, there is no time to be philosophical about this — we just have to spring in to action and set up a web of defence. The big, barking dog is not a viable solution for a group of full-time and hard-pressed students but recorded dog barking noises might be slightly easier. The idea of motion detector is attractive and bars on the windows are attainable. Thank you, moms, for the pepper spray and the loud, deathdefying whistle. I will carry it everywhere. I will study longer in the safe community of my school and study halls and immerse myself in research and reading. I will not let my mind wander to every bump and sound in the night. So the innocence of summer has truly ended and the year begins, on the defence. Naomi Yorke is a Port Coquitlam teenager who lived in Shanghai, China for four years, writing about her experiences twice a month for The Tri-City News. She now lives in Chicago, where she’s attending art school, and continues her column.

Caregivers learn to care for selves, too If you are caring for a loved one, you also have to make time to care for yourself. That’s the premise of Tri-Cities Caregivers Connections, a five-week program starting next month.

Join Leila Sinnen, a registered nurse, registered psychiatric nurse, educator and motivational coach at Glen Pine Pavilion in Coquitlam. Her approach will give caregivers the tools to feel rejuvenated, informed, inspired and optimistic. Caregivers will learn to: • accomplish realistic goals;
• take charge of their lives; • deal with stress and let go of negative thoughts; • communicate more effectively; • and laugh together and have fun. Potential participants are urged to register early as space is limited. The program runs once a week, 1:15 to 3:45 p.m., on Wednesdays, Oct. 6 to Nov. 3, at Glen Pine Pavilion, 1200 Glen Pine Crt. The cost is $20 per person and includes lunch. To register, call 604-927-6940.

An application has been received to amend the Citywide Official Community Plan (CWOCP) relating to the properties located at 3450, 3460, 3469 and 3459 Galloway Avenue and David Avenue (Lot 8, Section 18, Township 40, New Westminster District, Plan 1399). The application proposes a redesignation of the central portion of the subject properties from Small Village Single Family to Large Village Single Family to accommodate a future residential subdivision. The redesignation request is due to topography constraints that result in a modified subdivision layout utilizing streetaccessed lots rather than rear lane accessed lots. As such, the lots are closer to meeting the RS-8 regulations than that of the RS-7 zone. You are now invited to provide input to Council with respect to the above-noted application. The City of Coquitlam will be receiving the input requested herein up to Monday, September 20, 2010. 2010 Written correspondence can be provided in one of the following ways: • Fax: 604-927-3015 • Mail: City Clerk’s Office, City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC, V3B 7N2 • In person at City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way at the City Clerk’s Office during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday excluding statutory holidays (Telephone: 604-927-3010) Additional information concerning this application can be obtained from the Planning Department (Telephone: 604-927-3434). Should Council grant first reading to the proposed CWOCP amendment, a Public Hearing will be held with notification to be provided in accordance with the Local Government Act.

Hip-hugging silhouettes inspired by the 1950s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s are making a bold return to the runway this season. Sheath dresses with below-the-knee hem, perfect the hourglass look with a touch of femininity. Looking for something more ďŹ&#x201A;ashy? Flowing, draping dresses with metallic or sparkling fabrics are also the rage this Fall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s styles making the biggest statements for glimmering nightwear. Leather maintains its edgy reputation this Fall, with leather leggings and dresses at the core of the trend. Wear this style to work by sticking to items with subtle trims and leather accents, or be daring and mix it with other fabrics such as ďŹ&#x201A;oral patterns. For evening wear, make a fashion statement with a full leather dress complimented with elegant shaping. Switch up those classic black tights with a bright change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; colour! Stay current with vibrant or pastel-coloured leggings paired with vintage-styled minidresses. Patterned leggings are ideal for a night out-on-the-town with your girlfriends, and are best matched with solid coloured blouses or loose-ďŹ tting tank tops.

Glee fever hits Tri-Cities By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
It’s one of the most critically acclaimed shows on T.V. And, this week, dozens of young Tri-City singers and dancers will emulate the program’s performers. Glee, a musical comedy-drama series on Fox that began last year, has inspired staff at both Place des Arts and the Lindbjerg Academy in Coquitlam to set up similar show choirs this fall. The Glee Club at Place runs Thursdays (beginning tomorrow) and is led by voice teacher Gina Oh for 11- to 16-year-olds while the Lindbjerg Academy has two courses starting Friday, led by classical pianist Sean Bayntun: The Glee’bls is for tweens aged 11 to 14 and the Glee’teens is for students 14 and older. Chad Matchette, co-owner and artistic director of Lindbjerg, said the first hour of the Glee’teens’ two-hour class will cross over with the younger show choir. “The school wanted to try to give the kids the experience of working with other ages,” he said. “It brings them closer together.” Like the T.V. program, which centres on a fictional Ohio high school club called “New Directions,” Lindbjerg students will have input on the vast repertoire — pop, rock and musical theatre, for example — as well as costumes. And they will perform at three academy events before their course ends in June. In the past, Lindbjerg students have showcased their talents at community events like the Golden Spike Days and at the CP Rail holiday train festivities in Port Moody. However, the new Glees “will be our front and centre group now,” Matchette said. “We want to get them before as many different experiences, performance-wise, as possible. They will be the ones representing outside of the academy.” If successful, Matchette said the Blue

Kaitlyn Schlappner performs a number with members of her Glee class at Place des Arts, which is offering a Glee Club program starting tomorrow (Thursday). The Lindbjerg Academy is also jumping on the Glee train with two courses starting Friday, with Glee’bls (ages 11 to 14) and Glee’teens (14+). Mountain Street academy may fly the choirs to Disneyland in the 2011-’12 season to put on a show during the California park’s offseason. In the United States, the cost to participate in Glee clubs — travel, outfits, etc. — can take a toll on parents. Matchette cited the example of the John Burroughs high school
group that performed “Vogue” by Madonna on the Oprah Winfrey show last year, where members donned ballgowns, fans, wigs and heavy makeup. “In the States,” he said, “the production values are over the moon. But we’re not looking to do anything like that, especially in our first year.
“It’s about the songs, the dance and the performance.” • Space is limited. To register, call 604-4212100 or visit www.lindjbergacademy.com. To sign up for the Place des Arts’ Glee club, call 604-664-1636 or register at www.placedesarts.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com
Best’s drama teacher armed with NYC degree By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Nicole Roberge isn’t here. Not in Coquitlam. Not in B.C. Not even in Canada. In body, she’s at Dr. Charles Best secondary, filling in for drama coach Brad Case,
who is temporarily away. But, in mind and spirit, Roberge, or “Coco” as she’s fondly known by her former theatre students, is still in New York City — or rather at New York University, where four months ago she graduated with her Master’s degree in performance studies from the Tisch School of the Arts, a dream
she’s had since she was 12. Flash back to last April, when Roberge was in full production mode at Pinetree secondary school for The Wedding Singer. She was half-way through an interview with this newspaper when she admitted she was in shock: she had just learned she was one of the last 40 people to be accepted
to the prestigious school. Last June, Roberge took a year-long sabbatical from School District 43, jumped on a plane and landed in the Big Apple on her 34th birthday, bunking for a month with an see ROBERGE, O G , page g 34

NYC friend and her toddler. Two days later, Roberge was sitting in class with scholars and artists â&#x20AC;&#x201D; actors, musicians, dancers, curators, critics, directors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so surreal,â&#x20AC;? she remembered. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy. The first three weeks are what they call â&#x20AC;&#x153;boot campâ&#x20AC;?: graduate students are expected to attend lectures by day and read hundreds of papers by night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the wrong place. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been out of school too long.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But I found out later that everyone was feeling similarly.â&#x20AC;? The next month, she moved to Brooklyn and settled into a routine and the NY arts scene. The condensed, year-long program at NYU transformed Roberge. She produced and was published. She critiqued 50 plays. She staged events (including a reinvention of experimental dance from the 1960s) and spoke at universities. And she sucked up the words of Richard Schechner, an American performance studies legend whose books Roberge had previously read (one of his classes that Roberge attended was filmed for a documentary). â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was my mentor,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved, loved, loved being a grad student.â&#x20AC;?

Peter (Jarrod Terell) and his new wife Frances (Becky Hachey) can’t get a word in with good-time girl Susan (Nicole Smashnuk) running things in No Sex Please, We’re British.
No Sex Please at Evergreen By Alex Browne BLACK PRESS
The world of classic farce, English-style, plays in Coquitlam in all its door-slamming glory with the arrival of No Sex Please, We’re British, playing at the Evergreen Cultural Centre Sept. 21 to 25. It’s directed by well-known panto queen and farceur Ellie King and presented by her Royal Canadian Theatre Company. For the uninitiated, farce is a style of comedy that could best be described as an excruciating rhapsody of embarrassment — a worst-case scenario of colliding situations that spiral out of control as hapless characters desperately attempt to cover their tracks and escape awkward recriminations. Long ago mastered in France, it has been practised with varying degrees of success around the globe. But there’s something about the British variant — combining, as it does national traits of stuffy formality, blushing repression and ever-percolating prurience — that only heightens the effect. And connoisseurs of the form cherish the quintessential farce moment — the deer-in-the-headlights look that signals a character’s realization that, not only has he placed himself out on a limb, but he’s succeeded in sawing through it. It’s a look one can expect to see frequently on the faces of Frances (Becky Hachey) and Peter (Jarrod Terell), a pair of young English newlyweds in the supposedly liberated but still uptight ‘70s. Peter, a conscientious assistant manager for a bank, is making a bid for promotion by inviting the bank’s manager, Bromhead (Douglas Newell), to their flat. But complications loom: Peter’s footlooseand-fancy-free mother Eleanor (Bollard) — with every intention of making a bid for Bromhead himself — plans to crash the party. Even worse: Becky, in an attempt to boost their earnings by selling luxury glassware, has entered into correspondence with a Swedish exporter. When the first shipment arrives, however, it’s distressingly clear the company has mistaken her for a client eager to import Scandinavian pornography. Peter’s nerdy colleague, Brian Runnicle (Sam Gordon), proves worse than useless in helping them dispose of the surfeit of smut, while the arrival of bank inspector Needham (Alan Cedargreen) and a police superintendent (Adrian Hughes) can only add to the chaos. Worse still, a couple of call girls (Nicole Smashnuk and Jackie Faulkner) have also, it seems, been given Frances and Peter’s address. Given King’s sure hand in directing matters farcical and fine eye in casting actors capable of being “complete idiots” — the highest approbation in her lexicon — No Sex Please, We’re British promises to be howlingly hilarious. This is Bollard’s first professional acting role, and it has taken her far from the glamourous aspect of her professional jazz singing. Not that the snooty Eleanor Hunter isn’t attempting a little glamour of her own. “She’s a social climber who has dolled herself up to win the heart of the bank manager,” she said. “Now her son is married, she thinks it’s about time she got a new partner of her own. And she’s totally oblivious to what else is going on. “But Eleanor definitely has a scary side. Not only is she trying to ensnare Bromhead, but she’s also a total bitch to her daughter-in-law.” “Make that bitch with a capital B,” she added with a chuckle. “I’ve been given a license to be that – and I’m taking full advantage of it.” • No Sex Please, We’re British runs Sept. 21 to 25.

Terry Fox Ravens co-coach Tom Kudaba points out instructions to his players during a practice last week for the B.C. AAA high school football squad at Terry Fox Oval. It appeared to pay off, as the Ravens knocked off the Vancouver College Fighting Irish 19-14 in an exhibition game Friday at Cunnings Field.
Idaho team socks it to Cents Ravens foil Fighting Irish By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
After Idaho’s Post Falls Trojans knocked the Centennial Centaurs down to size Saturday, Ryk Piche saw nothing but growth potential for his squad from the lopsided outcome. The final was 51-6 for the American 5A squad over the defending B.C. AAA-champion Centaurs in a neutral site exhibition test in Ellensburg, Wash. One thing is certain. Don’t bet on the Cents losing by 45 this Saturday when they visit the Sands Scorpions in North Delta. “Their football’s our hockey,” said the Cents head coach Piche, who watched a Trojans’ team far larger in numbers and physical size bolt to a 24-0 first-quarter lead. “It’s a differ-
ent realm. Their quarterback was sixfoot-five and about 240 pounds. And he was mobile and threw darts. “They had two busloads of players, one for linemen alone. I’m lucky to get one busload of players for a game.” It marked the second loss in as many weekends to an American school for the Cents, who were ousted 37-15 by Washington’s Lynden Lions the previous Friday. Cents’ fleet-foot Bobby Pospischil set up and scored his team’s touchdown versus Post Falls. After returning a kick 80 yards, the quarterback subsequently darted into the end zone from seven yards out. Another “huge positive,” Piche said, was the Cents’ defence holding the talent-laden Trojans to a mere two touchdowns in the second half. “I truly believe this made our leaders now lead,” Piche said.
• Terry Fox Ravens raced to an early 13-0 lead and held of the Vancouver College Fighting Irish in a battle of B.C. AAA top-five ranked teams Friday at Cunnings Field. After forcing the Irish to three-andout in the game’s first possession, the Ravens marched 75 yards on 14 straight rushing plays, culminating when Jacob Patko plunged over the goal-line from one-yard out. Next, the Ravens’ defence forced the Irish to turn the ball over on downs and went up 13-0 when quarterback Cam Canales hit tight end Tanner White on a 15-yard scoring strike. After the Irish hit the scoreboard on a 67-yard pass-and-run play, Fox responded immediately with a 73-yard drive which Patko finished with a sixyard TD jaunt. Up 19-7 at halftime, No. 5-rated Fox fumbled twice to kill drives and allow
No. 2 College to close the game to 19-14 before the Ravens buckled down to regain control. The score may have proved tight but the statistics weren’t, as Fox ran 56 offensive plays for 340 yards and 18 first downs, compared with just 30 plays, 170 yards and a mere six first downs for the Irish. Patko finished with 129 rushing yards and two majors on 20 carries. Guillaume Leroux led the Fox defence with five solo tackles, while Ben Sharpe added four and one interception. “We faced adversity well,” Canales said. “There was no big individual effort, we played well as a team. We put in a full four quarters and we battled. When push came to shove, we made big plays.” The Ravens tangle with the New Westminster Hyacks at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Mercer Stadium.
Black Cats blast past Icebreakers in PoMo By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
After a powerless season-opening performance last Thursday in Richmond, the Port Moody Black Panthers got their offence plugged in Saturday for their home debut versus the Mission Icebreakers. The Cats generated all four goals with the man advantage, including Mico Dragutinovic’s game winner with fewer than three minutes left, on way to a 4-3 victory over the Icebreakers at Port Moody Arena. The win came on the heels of the Cats’ Pacific International Jr. ‘B’
hockey league regular-season opener in Richmond, where they were drubbed 8-2. The Cats finished four-for-10 on the powerplay versus Mission after going a dismal zero-for-eight in that department against the heralded Sockeyes. “People don’t like making mistakes but I don’t mind them,” said Cats head coach Ron Johnson. “That’s how we’re going to learn. We’re here to develop kids and we want them to learn as fast as possible. But they’re going to make mistakes, as long as they don’t make the same one 10 times in a row.” Dragutinovic tallied twice for the
Cats against Mission, including the third of three PoMo goals in a threeminute span early in the third period. Until then, the Cats trailed 2-0 and pulled out the win after Mission’s Luke Venema scored unassisted with nine minutes remaining to knot the count 3-3. Other Cats’ goal-getters were captain Chris Stew and Richard Moul, who also assisted on Dragutinovic’s late-game winner. The Cats out-shot Mission 41-24, including 19-7 in the final frame. Against Richmond, the Sockeyes surged to a 3-0 lead by the midway point of the second and didn’t let up,
out-scoring PoMo 7-2 in the final two periods. Brandon Millin and Justin Dorey scored for the Cats, who next host the Grandview Steelers on Saturday at PoMo Arena, 7:45 p.m. North Delta Flyers got the early jump on the season, winning their first three games. Johnson said the Cats have the makings of a well-balanced squad, although there’s always room to improve certain areas when the need arises. “We’ll evaluate things after every five games, kind of like a bestof-seven playoff format,” he said. “We’re just trying to build the team one player at a time.”
Coquitlam Express lost in overtime Friday and employed penalty time to prevail Saturday. The Express connected on three powerplay goals to shake the host Cowichan Valley Capitals 5-3, one night after opening their B.C. Hockey League re gular seas o n with a 6-5 o ve rtime defeat to the Grizzlies in Victoria. “To get three out of four points, we’re pretty pleased as a coaching staff,” said Express head coach Jon Calvano. “I wasn’t extremely happy with our starts both games. We took some early penalties and gave up early leads, which wasn’t the smartest thing to do. But overall, we came back and played well in the second and third periods both games.” AgainstVictoria, the Express overcame a 4-2 deficit by out-scoring the Grizzlies 3-1 in the third to force extra time, where Ryan Stanimer’s goal 4:43 in gave the hosts the triumph. Brad Reid rallied Coquitlam with two goals, followed with singles by Steven Axford, Jesse Halikas and Massimo Lamacchia. In Cowichan, Lamacchia, Alex Petan and Coquitlam native Riley McIntosh scored with the man advanta g e fo r C o q u i t l a m . Reid and Destry Straight also scored. Coquitlam visits Quesnel on Friday and Prince George Saturday before their home opener Sept. 24 versus Surrey at the Sports Centre, 7 p.m.
