Riot charges possible for some locals
Fall is in full swing in Port Coquitlam
First set of alleged rioters mostly from Metro Van suburbs By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Suspects from Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam — including a 52-year-old PoCo man — are among those who could face charges for their involvement in the June 15 Stanley Cup riot. And Vancouver Police Department said most of the first batch of 60 suspects are from Metro Vancouver suburbs, with more than a third of them hailing from Surrey. At a press conference, VPD Chief Jim Chu said 163 charges are being recommended against 60 people. Twenty-one alleged rioters are from Surrey while 12 are from Vancouver, nine are from Burnaby and four are
from Maple Ridge. Two each are from Abbotsford and Delta, while one each is from Richmond, Coquitlam, PoCo, Langley, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Victoria, Courtenay, Kelowna and Seattle. Rioters torched police cars and other vehicles, and looted stores in downtown Vancouver after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Cup final. The 52-year-old from PoCo, the oldest suspect facing charges so far, was allegedly caught on video looting a store and has a long criminal record for theft, break and enter and sex offences, police said. “The people who rampaged that night must be held accountable for their actions,” Chu said, calling it the “largest crime spree in the history of B.C.” see VIDEO USED USED,, page 13
Loud and busy on Halloween By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Two-and-a-half-year-old Layla Fahandezh goes for a swing with a fallen leaf in hand on Tuesday morning in Port Coquitlam’s Gates Park.
Coquitlam Mounties were five times busier on Halloween than on an average Monday and were kept hopping over the weekend, too, responding to a large number of disturbances and noise complaints related to fireworks. Cpl. Jamie Chung said RCMP officers dealt with 550 files on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, including 61 disturbances, 47 noise calls and 12 reports of assault. Dispatchers continued to log a heavy flow of complaints on Monday, he said.
SD43 teams up with restorative justice group to resolve conflicts in schools. See page 15 The trouble started Friday when local Mounties called in the RCMP’s Air One helicopter to track down an alleged drunk driver who had fled two road checks in Port Coquitlam. see ‘BUSIER BUSIER THAN THAN’,, page 16

Coq. school board candidate calls island home Six-term Coquitlam trustee hasn’t lived in the city for two years, is an East Sooke resident By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
One of School District 43’s longest-serving trustees no longer lives in the Tri-Cities — and hasn’t for two years — but is again running for re-election. Coquitlam candidate Gail Alty retired to East Sooke on Vancouver Island two years ago and said she has been commuting to
SD43 by ferry for every meeting, keeping in touch with district business via email. “I have a place here [in the Tri-Cities] that I stay, my family is still here,” said Alty, who says now that she’s retired, she has more time to spend on GAIL ALTY SD43 business than when she lived in Coquitlam and worked full-time. “I haven’t really missed anything,” said Alty, who says she has missed just five meetings in 18 years of serving as a Coquitlam school trustee and could still do a good job on
school board if re-elected for a seventh term. Alty said she continues to be interested in education and school board affairs, and believes she still has something to contribute. “I think if you still have a passion and an interest for what you’re doing and feel you can do the job and have the experience [you can still do the job],” she said. Alty was first elected to the board of education in 1993 and was involved with her school’s parent advisory council as well as the District Parent Advisory Council. Her two children have graduated from SD43 schools. Provincial legislation governing school board elections does not prohibit someone from running for or holding office in a mu-
nicipality where they do not live. As previously reported in The Tri-City News, two local civic election candidates are not residents of the cities where they’re running: Coquitlam council candidate Fred Soofi is an Anmore resident while Rebecca Helps, who’s running for a seat on Port Moody council, calls Victoria home. Soofi owns a business in Coquitlam and is planning to build a home on a Burquitlam property he owns while Helps, a former federal and provincial Green Party candidate, works for the party in Victoria but said she would move back to Port Moody if elected. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com – with files from Janis Warren
Signs are regulated By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tri-City civic governments are strengthening rules regulating campaign signs in advance of the Nov. 19 municipal elections. In the past, candidates have plastered their names all over the region, cluttering up public spaces and in some instances creating distractions for drivers. But with the 2011 race underway, new rules are in place that should limit the number of signs a candidate can put up on public property and where they can be placed. Susan Rauh, Port Coquitlam’s chief elections officer, told The Tri-City Newss residents complained during past elections about visual pollution. “We just want to keep better control of it,” said Rauh. “One of the big concerns we get from residents is there are too many signs and they are everywhere.” In both Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam, candidates’ signs cannot be erected on public property more than 10 days prior to the municipal election and must be removed within four days following the vote.
COQUITLAM Coquitlam candidates who want to put up signs on public property are limited to one per location at the following places : • northeast corner of Coast Meridian and Victoria Drive;
• southwest corner of the Lougheed Highway and Chilko Drive; • northwest corner of Como Lake Avenue and Mariner Way; • east side of North Road at Cameron Street; • northwest corner of Lougheed Highway and King Edward Street; • southwest corner of Glen Drive and Johnson Street; • Lougheed Highway across from Colony Farm Road; • and United Boulevard and Cape Horn intersection.
PORT COQUITLAM Port Coquitlam also limits candidates to one sign per location at the following places: • Granny Smith Park Boulevard (north east corner of Shaughnessy Street and Wilson Avenue; • Shaughnessy Street, south of Nacht Avenue (east side boulevard); • Kingsway Avenue, between Kelly Avenue and Wilson Avenue (eastside boulevard); • Boulevard in front of 2061 Kingsway Avenue; • Boulevard in front of 1855 and 1925 Kingsway Avenue; • Shaughnessy Street, just south of Citadel Drive (past the parking lot area); • Boulevard between the Mary Hill Bypass and Argue Street (west of Pitt River Road);
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Local city bylaws regulate in what public places municipal election signs may be placed. • Boulevard area between the Lougheed Highway and the Oxford Connector (in front of the parking lot for the stores); • Coast Meridian Road, just north of Prairie Avenue on west boulevard; • Shaughnessy Street, just south of Manning Avenue, north of the Lougheed Highway; • Westwood Street, south of Kitchener Avenue; • City-owned property at the south-west corner of Kingsway Avenue and Maple Street.
PORT MOODY Election signs on public property in Port Moody are permitted in the following locations:
• Murray Street median (near works yard); • Murray Street Boulevard (north side); • Clarke Road hill (east side); • Clark Road hill island near apartments; • Glenayre Drive (west side); • College Park Way at Easthill service road; • Barnet Highway at Westwood Honda; • Guildford media at Ioco; • St. Johns Street (Douglas to Queens); • Ioco Road at Pioneer Park; • Ioco Road (800-block); • Heritage Mountain Boulevard (west side, north and south of ravine); • Falcon Drive at Noons Creek; • Ailsa Avenue on north side of Glenayre; • and Union at Shoreline Circle. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

JEFF VINNICK/VANCOUVER CANUCKS
The family of Port Coquitlam hometown hero Terry Fox — and the foundation built around the cancer crusader — was recognized last Saturday by the Vancouver Canucks. The NHL team is honouring local heroes every month this season as part of its Heart of A Canuck campaign to thank B.C. residents who have shown “honour, humility, integrity and passion.� Photographed during the ceremonial face-off between Canucks captain Henrik Sedin and his Washington Capitals counterpart Alexander Ovechkin are (left to right) Darrell Fox, Fred Fox, super fundraiser Jim Terrion of Prince George, Rolly Fox and Judith Fox-Alder. The Canucks won the game 7-4. Meanwhile, students and staff at Moody middle last month celebrated the Port Moody school’s achievement by raising $36,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation — currently the highest amount collected from a B.C. school this year. Moody middle has for a number of years been one of the biggest fundraising schools in the province.

Students in teacher Jon Hamlin’s ICT class at Pinetree secondary school in Coquitlam put their skills to good — and timely — use last Friday when the class hosted a youth town hall meeting with the two men running for the mayor’s chair in the Nov. 19 civic election. Left, Mayor Richard Stewart prepares for his time in front of the cameras. Centre, Coun. Barrie Lynch listens to questions from the student panel (right).

Tale of the tape at Pinetree’s forum
I have a bussy life... with three kids... a fu ull time job... and ccoaching my daughter’s so occer team... it seems ou ut of control!
With four video cameras rolling, a couple of still cameras clicking and white lights shining, film and TV students at Pinetree secondary school put Coquitlam’s two mayoral contenders in the hot seat last Friday for a youth town hall meeting. About 60 Grade 10 to 12 students — some of whom are eligible to vote in this month’s municipal election — heard first from Coun. Barrie Lynch then from Mayor Richard Stewart about why young people should take an interest in politics. The question-and-answer sessions were organized by Pinetree Information Computer Technology teacher Jon Hamlin, whose aim was to give students a chance to use their broadcasting skills in a live setting as well as to get them more involved in civic affairs. (Lynch and Stewart’s responses can be seen on youtube.com/pinetreefilm later today). Led by a four-member panel, the mayoral challengers were quizzed separately on topics ranging from the Evergreen Line to their favourite subjects in high school. Afterwards, the students were not allowed to leave the room until they wrote down a point from each of Lynch and Stewart’s presentations. jwarren@tricitynews.com

What’s a frill?
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
T
here is no danger of a Tea-Party style taxpayer revolt in Canada — at least for now. Anti-tax rhetoric is not nearly as virulent this side of the border and Canadians are not nearly as hardline as Americans when it comes to accepting government programs and services. But there are rumblings at the municipal level that city taxes are growing too quickly. It’s difficult to determine how much of this discontent should be directed at Metro Vancouver, whose higher utility fees are tacked on to municipal property taxes. Still, there are hints that some people think municipal spending should be curbed. A recent survey in Coquitlam found fewer people willing to absorb higher taxes to avoid service cuts and some civic candidates — two in Port Moody and four in Coquitlam — have pledged to keep spending to inflation plus population. They also agree with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business about the need to lower business taxes and to have an auditor monitoring municipal spending. Putting a lid on tax hikes seems like a reasonable goal until you do the math. What is a frill exactly? The fact is, one person’s luxury is another person’s must-have. While everyone agrees that operational inefficiencies should be weeded out of the system, there is a great deal of disagreement over how to cut services or whether doing so is even desirable. Close the pool on holidays, delay repairing roads, let people collect their own garbage — these are not practical solutions to reducing tax hikes. Indeed, many candidates are loathe to get into this kind of cost-cutting activity and are side-stepping this question entirely, suggesting cities should generate more revenue by partnering more with senior governments or by bringing new businesses to the city. It’s just not that easy to find more revenue. On the other hand, candidates who think it’s easy to cut costs should be required to give specifics, not escape with vague promises. The concerned voter is understandably perplexed given the array of candidates and points of view. But fiscal accountability doesn’t end at the ballot box. Budgeting and priority-setting take place every year and there are plenty of opportunities for taxpayers to demand accountability and be heard.
The Zalm joins the BC Hydro conspiracy club BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he smart meter installation van arrived on my street last week as BC Hydro’s smart grid project heads toward the halfway mark. This system will not only detect outages, electricity loss and theft, it will enable a voluntary time-of-use system under which users can get a discount by shifting consumption to low-peak times. You could even set up wind or solar generation that the meter would record and subtract from your bill. But apparently no one wants to talk about that. Black Press newspapers continue to run letters with exaggerated or false claims that stoke baseless fear of radio waves. Where is this coming from? I’m grateful to the anonymous smart-meter foe who started sending me updates from Citizens for Safe Technology, a loose collection of U.S. and
T
Canadian activists that claims to include doctors, lawyers and other professionals. Not much is professional about the Canadian content on their website. A video starts with a juvenile union parody showing executives plotting to sell BC Hydro to General Electric. Then it moves to an apparently serious interview with Bill Vander Zalm, who expands on his earlier conspiracy theory about the harmonized sales tax being part of a European Union plot for world domination. Vander Zalm asserts that smart meters and appliances create such a powerful surveillance network, “they’ll even know what you’re cooking.” There are those who claim smart meters can tell what channel your TV is on but this is the first I’ve heard about them detecting whether you’re having eggs or oatmeal for breakfast. And who might “they” be? “The big picture is, of course, that we’re moving to globalization,” Vander Zalm intones. “Eventually, we’ll be governed out of Brussels, Belgium or someplace like that.

And this all ties into that. They can monitor what’s happening anywhere in the world. It’s Big Brother. We’ll be totally controlled.” He stops just short of what I’ll call the Full Tinfoil, a belief that these radio waves control minds directly. Wildlife artist Robert Bateman also makes an ass of himself in a brief video where he describes hiring someone to come in and detect “hot” wiring in his Saltspring Island mansion. (A surprising number of self-appointed smart meter experts sell measuring and “shielding” services.) A reader sent me a local newspaper commentary by Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, basically a vague summary of NDP talking points about smart meters being too expensive and a possible health threat. This is interesting because the city of Nelson owns its own power utility, which started installing wireless meters in 2004. It finished last year, with no protest. I asked Mungall why as she was on the city council that chose a different model, a “drive-by” meter. Those broadcast read-
ings every 15 seconds and still need meter readers, who no longer have get out of their trucks. BC Hydro’s meters signal only three or four times a day but one of the oftenrepeated false claims about them is that they secretly transmit much more often with some sort of damaging energy pulses. And yet these granola-loving West Kootenay folks cheerfully endure a 24/7 bombardment of what are essentially brief cell phone signals. Mungall said Nelson council specifically rejected a smart grid system “because of the cost.” Somehow retaining meter readers saves the city money. She noted that rural parts of her constituency are serviced by BC Hydro and some people are very concerned. I’ll bet they are. Not just in West Kootenay but a few other remote areas known for production of B.C.’s number one cash crop.

Council must control bureaucracy The Editor, Among the Coquitlam council incumbents, who really deserves to be re-elected? That we are overtaxed and city staff overpaid is well documented. We rely on the mayor and councillors to check bureaucratic growth and compensation. Except for the current mayor, I would suggest that few have done so. Most candidates should know how city
Check out our VoteSmart voters’ guides on Nov. 11 hall operates — heck, one of them was even mayor for a few years. Some have union backing while others appear to be more focused on development. It would be safe to say that the tax-
payer is not the primary focus of unions, developers and, it appears, councillors. With no one minding the store, city staff has grown into a bloated, overpaid and self-absorbed bureaucracy, if my experience with city parks and recreation staff is any indication. While organizing senior softball, I was passed through layers of management and asked to wait outside an office for
an hour. Finally, a person on the bottom of the pay scale took care of my needs in minutes.

Only time can give closure The Editor, Re. “Limits would help with closure” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Oct. 28). Columnist Jim Nelson’s opinion is that limiting roadside shrines to one month will provide a “crucial part of grieving: closure” for both the community and surviving family and friends. Limiting such memorials may provide closure for the public — because they forget — but would not provide
closure to the bereaved. My f amily lost a 21-year-old son not to a roadside accident but to sudden death when a virus infected his heart. Closure never comes for unexpected death. The grieving only diminishes with time as you learn to live without your loved one. For families that lose someone to careless acts of another driver, or even if the person lost their life due to their own driving, the memo-
rial also provides hope to the grieving family — hope that the shrine is a reminder for others and it may help prevent the loss of another life. Mr. Nelson, I welcome your opinion that the shrines should not be banned. The concern is that a memorial may be a distraction to drivers. I cannot agree that timely removal of the shrine is a crucial part of achieving closure for a grieving family. D. Thomas, Coquitlam

Video used to ID suspects
Tri-City News Wednesday, November 2, 2011, A13
continued from front page
Onlookers shot video and photos on cellphones and posted them on social media, fuelling what has become a massive crowd-sourced police investigation. The VPD has asked Crown counsel to charge all 60 initial suspects with participating in a riot while many also face charges including mischief, assault or break and enter. “This is just the beginning as we expect to announce more arrests in the weeks and months ahead,” Chu said. Several hundred people could ultimately be prosecuted, he said. The VPD has been under fire in recent months because no suspects had yet been charged, despite the fact dozens of them had come forward and confessed. Chu defended the VPD decision not to “rush cases to court” and instead conduct a “thorough” investigation. “We believe the community supports the independence of the police and our professional judgement to conduct thorough investigations, not cut corners in order to satisfy the vocal criticisms of a few,” he said. Chu said one 21-yearold Vancouver Island rioter who confessed after being outed on Facebook would have been charged only for one count of mischief i nvo l v i n g a s i n g l e car had police moved quickly. But he said the Indianapolis lab analysing thousands of hours of video has since deter mined the man damaged six vehicles and broke into three stores that night, resulting in multiple charges. A database at the lab is able to quickly scan a suspect against 15,000 identified criminal acts recorded on video. As well, a Burnaby man with a prior record was caught because of blood DNA he left at the scene. Chu said the database then found video of the suspect punching someone in the back of the head and trying to hide his face as he looted a store. The man faces charges of assault causing bodily harm, break and enter, disguise with intent to commit an offence and participating in a riot. Chu said the lab has been invaluable, even helping identify rioters who masked up. Others arrested include: • a drunk 21-year-old Delta man with no criminal record who police say joined the mayhem, smashing the tail lights and window of a parked truck before helping set it on fire;

Bringing justice to schools By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
School District 43 has partnered with a local restorative justice organization to resolve conflicts in high schools and middle schools to promote empathy and create safer schools. The district has set aside $10,000 in Community Link funding for the services of trained facilitators from Communities Embracing Restorative Action (CERA) who will work with students and resolve difficulties before conflicts get out of hand. District spokesperson Marna Macmillan said Centennial has used CERA facilitators to resolve some of the school’s more difficult conflicts and the district wanted to give other schools the same opportunity. “It’s the idea that a lot of things happen inside and outside of schools, especially with technology, that go deep and run deep and can impact in a variety of ways,” said Macmillan, who is the social responsibility co-ordinator for SD43. She said restorative justice works better than suspensions and other punishments for getting to the deeper issues. CERA has been using restorative justice for years with first-time young offenders referred by Coquitlam RCMP and Port Moody police. In re-

Gurinder Mann of Communities Embracing Restorative Action (CERA) outside Centennial secondary school. storative justice, youths who caused harm meet with the harmed party to hear what effect their actions have caused and work out a plan of action. The program has been working in the Tri-Cities for years with funding from municipalities, provincial grants and private donations, diverting cases from the court system and resolving issues with a 96% success rate. CERA has also been teaching students how to use restorative justice principals at school in a pro g ram called Empowering Youth but some problems are too big for youth peer mediators to resolve. When conflicts arise on the weekend or on a social media site, it’s left to schools to deal with them and Centennial principal
Rob Zambrano said he asked CERA’s facilitators to help with some of the more difficult cases. With CERA facilitators in the school, conflicts could be dealt with before they got out of hand, Zambrano said. “It could, in fact, be a dangerous situation we were able to mitigate and mediate before they occurred,” he said. CERA has helped with about 10 conflicts in the last two years, Zambrano said, and one warring duo even ended up being friends. “The reality is it’s very respectful and it’s a very empowering process for youth and their families,” he said. Now, the school is looking at ways of incorporating restorative justice throughout the school by
training teachers and incorporating restorative justice principles into the curriculum. “We want to use it in a more pro-active sense,” Zambrano said. CERA executive director Gurinder Mann said facilitators start by getting agreement from both sides to work out their difficulties, then they meet to talk about their issues in a respectful way. “It doesn’t focus on punishment and short-term deterrence,” he said. “It’s more on holding students accountable, promoting understanding and reconciliation between parties.” Initially seen as a way to resolve conflicts between students, Mann said restorative justice could also be used in case of minor theft and vandalism. Still, it’s not a cure-all for every school problem, he said. Drugs and alcohol issues, for example, still need to be dealt with through specific school programs. While it’s just one tool among many, Mann said restorative justice has the potential of creating a more supportive school environment. “We’re very optimistic that this is gong to be definitely promoting safer schools. It’s promoting a more peaceful environment and we’re very happy to do this in partnership with the school district.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

The Conservative candidate who sought to win NDP MP Fin Donnelly’s seat in New WestminsterCoquitlam in the May 2 federal election out-raised and out-spent him by tens of thousands of dollars. According to campaign disclosures recently released, Diana Dilworth, a Port Moody city councillor, collected $115,003 in contributions — including $95,000 from the Tory riding association — while Donnelly took in $70,262 in donations, including $56,463 from his party. Dilworth also racked up $85,804 in expenses (including advertising, surveys, office supplies and salaries) compared with Donnelly’s $69,420, and she claimed $1,860 in personal expenses versus $599 for Donnelly. The Green Party challenger, Rebecca Helps, who, like Dilworth, is running for council in the Nov. 19 PoMo civic election, reported $3,165 in campaign donations and billed $2,238 in expenses, the Elections Canada documents show. Figures for Liberal contender Ken Beck Lee were not available; he was granted an extension and was due to file his disclosure documents this week. Donnelly won the riding for a second time, collecting 45.9% of the votes cast versus Dilworth’s 41.5%; Lee scored 8.1% while Helps garnered 4.3%. Meanwhile, in the Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam riding, where Conservative MP cabinet minister James Moore ran for a fifth term, the campaign contributions heavily favoured the incumbent. Moore took in $95,185 in donations and spent $83,988 while his closest opponent, the NDP’s Mark Ireland, took in $2,512 and billed just $1.38 more than that in expenses, the documents show. Moore spent $125 in personal expenses while Ireland had none. Liberal candidate Stewart McGillivray’s figures were similar to Ireland’s, with $2,861 in contributions and $3,574 in expenses. The Green Party’s Kevin Kim didn’t file his disclosure papers by the deadline and was granted an extension until Nov. 1. Moore was re-elected with 56.2% of the votes cast while Ireland received 30% of votes, McGillivray 8.5% and Kim 4.5%. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Cause isn’t yet known in PoCo blaze Three people were sent to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation last Thursday night after a fire ripped through a home in Port Coquitlam’s Citadel Heights subdivision. Thirteen people were displaced by the blaze, which engulfed one home and caused significant damage and air quality issues to two neighbouring structures. The home’s main floor collapsed. Port Coquitlam Fire Chief Nick Delmonico estimated the damage to be in the hundreds of thousands and said the home where the fire broke out was uninhabitable. “It’s pretty much a write-off,” he said. “It appears the fire started on the main floor. That is where the bulk of the damage is. It is fairly extensive.” Delmonico said the call came into the station at 11:38 p.m. and it took crews approximately two hours to contain and extinguish the flames. PoCo investigators were not able to determine the cause of the fire and the insurance company has taken over the investigation. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

‘Busier than usual’ for local police continued from front page
At the second stop, police say he backed up and drove erratically — and in the wrong direction — west on Lougheed Highway. When police tried to stop him, an officer accidentally crashed his cruiser into a centre median and sustained minor injuries. The driver then drove into a rail yard, got out and hid in the bushes but he was arrested a short time later. The driver faces criminal charges and a roadside driving ban, Chung said. The Halloween disorder didn’t stop there. As part of Coquitlam RCMP’s traffic enforcement campaign, officers issued at least 58 Motor Vehicle Act charges to drivers without licences, for using electronic devices while on the road and for not wearing seatbelts. A total of 31 people were also stopped in CounterAttack road blocks for allegedly driving under the influence, Chung said. Meanwhile, Port Moody Police Const. Bill Kim said extra patrols were on shift for Halloween, which proved to be “a busy night, busier than normal,” with noise and disturbance complaints. As well, a large number of fireworks were seized, Kim said. Fireworks were also the cause for two small fires on Halloween in Port Coquitlam — one in a garbage can, another in a grass field. Pumpkins, bags of leaves and garbage were found strewn onto sidewalks and boulevards in the Mary Hill neighbourhood, PoCo city spokesperson Pardeep Purewal said. jwarren@tricitynews.com
Metro garbage burner loses key customer
Tri-City News Wednesday, November 2, 2011, A17 Our Vision: Better health. Best in health care.
By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESSURE
Metro Vancouver’s garbage incinerator in south Burnaby is being forced to retool because it can no longer sell steam to an adjacent industrial plant. The Norampac linerboard mill — which was the only buyer of steam from the waste-to-energy plant — will close down in December, parent firm Cascades Inc. announced. That means Metro must upgrade the incinerator at a cost of $4.2 million to turn all of the steam it generates into electricity for sale to the power grid, said Metro utility planning manager Toivo Allas. The incinerator burns 285,000 tonnes of garbage per year and about a third of the steam produced was piped next door to Norampac. Selling steam was more lucrative than selling electricity, so the conversion will cut into Metro’s revenue. The region earned $11 million from the waste-to-energy plant last year and senior engineers say that will drop to about $7 million next year because of the loss of steam sales. They expect revenue will rebound, but how much depends on Metro securing a higher electricity rate from BC Hydro when the power sales contract is renegotiated in 2013. Metro hopes most of the electricity output from the incinerator will be counted as green energy and fetch a higher price under B.C.’s Clean Energy Act. Right now about 63% of the electricity would qualify because it is derived from organic and other non-fossil fuel sources. The region has also considered building a pipeline to carry hot water eight kilometres west to heat a huge housing development being built in southeast Vancouver. The challenges of selling steam may provide lessons for Metro as it plans to build new waste-toenergy plants to handle an extra 500,000 tonnes of garbage that the region will stop sending to the Cache Creek landfill. Officials hope any new plant or plants can be located where they can tie into a district energy system serving a cluster of buildings or industries, rather than be tied to a single customer. The extra revenue versus just generating electricity could save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars over the life of the plant, Metro has estimated. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Missing Women Inquiry gets six more months
www.tricitynews.com
Village of Anmore 2697 Sunnyside Road Anmore, BC V3H 5G9
Key testimony expected in weeks ahead By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
The provincial government has extended the Missing Women Inquiry by an extra six months. The decision gives Commissioner Wally Oppal — who had asked for an extra year — until next June 30 to deliver his findings on why it took so long to catch Port Coquitlam serial killer Robert Pickton. The inquiry had been supposed to report by the end of this year but formal hearings only began Oct. 11 in Vancouver. Months of further testimony are expected, including evidence from senior Vancouver Police Department (VPD) and RCMP officers. Attorney General Shirley Bond said the sixmonth extension should mean only an “incremental” increase in the $2.5-million in provincial funding committed for the inquiry so far. The VPD has been accused of failing to properly investigate reports of sex trade workers who went missing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside or to act on advice that one or more serial killers were hunting prostitutes there. RCMP officers will be questioned on how it took until 2002 to catch Pickton, even though he was charged with attempting to murder a prostitute on his Port Coquitlam farm in 1997, and why they didn’t act on Pickton’s offer to search the farm in 2000. Provincial Crown officials may testify on their decision to drop charges in the 1997 incident. Several women vanished in the five years between the 1997 attack and Pickton’s ultimate arrest, including all six of the women he was ultimately convicted of murdering.

Words of warning – and support By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
I
f you’re a man, read this. Or a woman, for that matter. When Eric Huffey was first told he had prostate cancer in 1999, he imagined the worst. Now, 12 years later, he’s helping other men and their significant others to make it through the ordeal as best they can — just like he has. Huffey is a member of the Coquitlam Prostate Cancer Support Group, which meets the first Tuesday of each month, 7 p.m., at Pinetree community centre. “When I was first diagnosed, I said I’d rather be dead than impotent,” said HUFFEY the 67-year-old Huffey. “I was 55 at the time and I just got into a new relationship... and from that respect, it was just devastating to think about.” Huffey’s mindset soon changed, however. He began to study the disease, which starts in the walnut-sized prostate gland, part of a man’s reproductive system. “It was a shock, don’t get me wrong,” Huffey said. “It starts to sink in. I was a typical male. I’d heard of a prostate but I didn’t know where it was or what it did. You learn very quickly.” In Huffey’s case, he elected to have surgery to remove the gland — with radiation and brachytherapy (insertion of radioactive seeds into the prostate to combat cancer cells) the other two main treatment options — and has since been urging all men to get routine check-ups to help with early detection, a key to successful treatment and rehabilitation. “It seems very common that the males don’t want to talk about it,” said Huffey, whose group offers a separate support meeting for women in conjunction with the men. “Men typically don’t go to a doctor and are terrified of a digital rectal exam. That’s why we always recommend wives always go with their husbands to their visits to the doctor. “The stats show that about only 5% of men will go to a support group. It’s that low. We’re trying to increase that.” Huffey was jolted personally by prostate cancer yet again in 2004 when he learned that it had returned, which only made him more militant about creating awareness and raising funds to defend against it. “Once it comes back, you don’t have a lot of options,” Huffey said. “It’s more a case of slowing it down so that you die with it rather than from it. “The cure is out there but it’s not too practical to be thinking in those terms. It’s more a case of being able to manage the disease.” Prostate cancer is sometimes referred to as “the silent killer” as it offers no symptoms and can affect men of any age, although those over 60 are generally considered at greater risk of contracting it.

Port Coquitlam firefighters Ryan Masi, Adam Myles, Dieter Kulhanek and Mike Patrick are growing moustaches for Movember and are organizing a fundraising hockey tournament for Nov. 18 featuring smoke-eaters from throughout the Lower Mainland.
Firefighters growing mo’s for a cause Port Coquitlam firefighters have been twirling their moustaches lately to hatch a plan to help stomp out prostate cancer. But first, they had to grow them. Ryan Masi is one of several of those taking part in this month’s Movember, where people sport moustaches for the cause to raise awareness and funds for the disease that can affect any man and his reproductive system.
“You don’t feel symptoms, this the problem,” Huffey said. “Once you feel symptoms, it’s too late. That’s why it’s so important to get checked regularly.” Huffey added his group’s meetings include covering everything from nutrition to incontinence (involuntary urine leakage) to erectile dysfunction, and are open to all adults. He’s insistent they helped him through his own struggles with the disease to the point where
The PoCo firefighters are hosting a fouron-four hockey tournament involving 12 teams of smoke-eaters from around the Lower Mainland on Nov. 18 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Coquitlam’s Planet Ice. “We encourage people to come and cheer on the firefighters, laugh at our moustaches and buy some raffle tickets [for] some awesome prizes donated by local retailers,” said Masi, who’s organizing the event along
with fellow firefighters Adam Myles and Kirk Paterson and already has 63 members registered on their team. “There should be a good amount of money raised for the cause and hopefully we can have some fun and laughs at the same time.” • To donate, visit www.movember. com and search “Port Coquitlam Fire Department.” lpruner@tricitynews.com
he felt inspired to help others stricken with it. “I wanted to get involved and find out, so the first thing I did, I went to the support group and I’ve been going ever since. It’s been 12 years now,” Huffey said. “To me it’s been a great source. Also, you don’t always need support but others do. I wanted to give back.” • For more, visit www.ourvoiceinprostatehealth.com and link to support groups. lpruner@tricitynews.com

Climber fuelled by kids
Coquitlam man is on adventure to Mt. Everest By Janis Warren A Coquitlam resident is on a trip of a lifetime to help sick kids at BC Children’s Hospital. Ju l i a n A l p h i b e r t is one of eight Metro Vancouver climbers now trekking to the base of Mt. Everest to raise money through Summits of Hope, a charity set up 12 years ago that partners with the hospital’s foundation. Alphibert, a wellknown volunteer in the city — having served as chair of the Olympic Spirit of BC committee and, recently, with the multiculturalism advisory committee — wants to collect $5,000 for the cause. Alphibert signed up for the Himalayan adventure after visiting with the young patients and their parents during last year’s Mountain of Toys event, where Summits of Hope officials and their climbers give thousands of dollars worth of stuffed animals, games and electronics to make the kids’ days brighter. “My participation this year has, at times, filled me with self-doubt,� he wrote. “However, on reflecting on last year’s event, I realize how fortunate I am to be able to

Go green in tossing Jack If one-quarter of the households in Metro Vancouver carve a Halloween pumpkin this year, that’s about 200,000 jack-o-lanterns. That means 1,000 metric tonnes of shrivelled pumpkins. According to a Metro Vancouver press release, pumpkins tossed in the trash will end up rotting in the dump. There, they’ll generate methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that causes global warming. And two thirds of the methane in the Metro Vancouver region comes from the region’s landfills. Keeping all those pumpkins out of the dump eliminates about 500 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, so it’s worth the effort. Metro Van offers the following green tips for dealing with the orange gourds: • Chop up your pumpkin and

QUALITY PRE-OWNED
• Dig a shallow trench in your vegetable or flower garden and drop in shredded pumpkin chunks. Fill in the trench knowing that the nutrients will nourish the ground and act as an excellent, natural fertilizer. • If you live in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam or Port Moody, you can add your pumpkin in your yard trimmings container for regular curbside pickup.

home countries for burial. In The Unknown Soldier: The Story of the Missing of the Great War, Neil Hanson tells the stories of three of these soldiers — one British, one American and one German — who all died at the second battle of the Somme in 1916. Drawing on unpublished diaries and letters to their sweethearts and families, Hanson tells the stories of these three ordinary young men against the background of one of the most tragic periods in human history, and although the realism of this book is disturbing, it is definitely one you
Canadians at War 19391945. Heathcote brings together photographs taken by Canadian servicemen during the war that take you from the fresh faces of enthusiastic young recruits to the treasured last pictures of two buddies together before one is killed in battle. It is amazing that many of these photos survived, given that they were sometimes carried in a pocket or under the liner of a helmet for years, but the result is remarkable. From shots taken among the troops landing at D-Day to heartbreaking pictures of the first Canadians arriving to liberate BergenBelsen concentration camp, this collection will astound you. Check out your local library for these and other great reads. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday.

ith Remembrance Day just around the corner, the recent television campaign “I am a Veteran” from Veterans Affairs Canada reminds us that veterans are not just strangers from long ago who fought wars in other countries but that they were and are members of families. As parents, children, husbands, wives, brothers or sisters, veterans not only have the stories of their service but they and their families also have their own stories of the personal relationships behind the uniforms. In Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends, two Second World War paratroopers from the original Band of Brothers, William “Wild Bill” Guarnere and Edward “Babe” Heffron, give us their personal experiences of life before, during and after Easy Company. Although both men grew up in south Philadelphia, they did not actually meet until Heffron joined E-Company shortly after D-Day. But with that meeting began a 60-year friendship that continues today. Their story is incredible in that they had both received exemptions from service but enlisted anyway. It’s also remarkable for their firsthand accounts of some of the most famous battles of the war. From the disaster at Market Garden to Heffron’s work in the capture of Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden, this is a frank but irresistible story of heroism, sacrifice and friendship. Few people may know that the tomb of the unknown soldier that is honoured in every Remembrance Day ceremony is a result of the fact that of the three million soldiers missing and killed in the First World War, only a handful were ever returned to their
won’t soon forget. American talk show host Larry King recounts true tales of wartime romance in his book Love Stories of World War II. I From sweethearts rushing to marry before the war, to staying faithful while waiting months, and often years, for any word of their loved ones, this heart-warming book offers a view of the more personal side of war. King tells the stories of 50 wartime couples, enhanced with photographs and excerpts from war letters, and whether they are men and women falling in love while serving together, wounded soldiers falling for their nurses or war brides coming home with their new husbands, they are all stories of the triumph of love against all odds. The phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” is certainly true in Blake Heathcote’s book A Soldier’s View: The Personal Photographs of

Load up on original art at 44th show
Help the arts with a glass of wine
PoMo Art Association hosts annual sale by members this weekend By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
S
till life, portraits and Mother Earth in her glory will be among the subjects shown this weekend at the 44th annual Port Moody Art Association sale — one of the most highly anticipated events of the year for Tri-City artists and collectors. Some 50 PMAA members will have about 160 acrylic, watercolour, oil and mixed media paintings up for grabs: all of them new and, best of all, original. PMAA spokesperson Tracey Costescu said Friday night will be the hottest ticket in town as buyers pack the opening reception, wanting to get the first pick of the offerings. “Our members have been working all year to get ready for this show,” she said. “And we insist that we have only new artwork and no repeats. We find that if we have prints, it brings another dimension so we prefer originals because it really adds to the excitement for the crowd.” One PMAA member showing four works at the sale — and for the first time — is Leesa Hanna, a Port Moody resident who uses a variety of media such as photography, collage, charcoal, and acrylic, watercolour, oil and encaustic paintings. Though Hanna has displayed in solo and group shows regularly since 2008, including at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, she hopes to focus more on her craft, especially now that she has settled into her film set design career and that her preschool daughter is getting older. In fact, the 43-year-old artist recently took three months off and spent time in her studio at 2709 Esplanade in Rocky Point Park, often with her girl in tow. Hanna gave her a paint brush and canvas, and the pair found inspiration in a Georgia O’Keeffe book. Her daughter’s creation impressed Hanna so much that “I framed it and put it on my wall,” she said, proudly, “and it was really enjoyable to have her by my side.” Hanna started in the art scene as an apprentice to a fashion photographer. She branched out on her own, snapping mainly black and white pictures, but found the profession didn’t suit her. She sign up for a few classes at Emily Carr University of Art and Design but never graduated. “Life,” she said, “just ended up happening.” Hanna added, “I think that if I’m going to win the lottery, I’m going to go back to art school because the biggest thing that I lack is the technical aspect. I have books. I have the internet. I have lots of artist friends. But I really want to master painting and just immerse myself in the whole culture.” These days, Hanna’s artwork is being sold at Chartreuse Living, a furniture store in Suter Brook village. • The 44th annual Port Moody Art Association sale opens Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Port Moody rec centre (300 Ioco Rd.) with many artists will be in attendance. The event continues on Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

Clink. The sound of chiming glasses will likely be one heard very often this weekend during the Best of BC Wines Uncorked, a semi-annual winetasting benefitting the Port Moody Arts Centre. The sip-andschmooze is being held in support of arts and cultural programs in PoMo and, since 2009, the event has offered new and current releases from wineries around B.C. For Saturday’s fundraiser, more than 100 vintages will be poured from 30-plus wineries like Mission Hill, Peller Estates, Cedar Creek and Inniskillin. As well, there will be a People’s Choice wine competition. “We are asking attendees to choose their favourite red and white wine, and their favourite merlot as the special category varietal theme,” organizer John Gerum said in a news release. “Winning wines will received a gold, silver or bronze medal at the end of the evening. We are hoping this will help to engage the guests and the wineries in an enjoyable evening.” Music and appetizers are also on the menu. • Tickets for Uncorked, to be held in the galleria (100 Newport Dr.) at 7 p.m., are $45.

Artist likes to draw ‘intense VISIT MONTANA’S body language’ of pedestrians COOKHOUSE By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
After the 2006 snow storm that damaged 3,000 trees in Stanley Park, Vancouver artist Alison Keenan decided to document the devastation and capture how people behaved to — and around — it. She painted and drew the extreme weather, the root masses and the bundled-up walkers, some of whom made their way around the chaos with cell phones planted firmly to their ears. The English native submitted the pieces as part of her 2008 graduate project for Emily Carr University of Art and Design and the series gained considerable attention as it was interpreted as showing the effects of global warming. That artwork was the beginning of Keenan’s First Impressions collection, which has since been expanded to include images of pedestrians on wellused Vancouver streets. Keenan captures them in popular locations, communicating how they move around and get to their destinations. In her observations, she finds “people have very intense body language. They have hunched shoulders, an immediate response to electronic mobile devices and push through crowds as if it’s their own space,” she said. “They’re quite
self-absorbed.” Keenan secretly takes their photos with a small digital camera — “never of children and not of people with physical challenges,” she said — and transcribes her voyeuristic, anonymous images of the young and old with archival ink and indigo blue, “to give an old-world feel to it but, of course, the subject is quite contemporary.” She added, “I think about what my role is as an artist when I document these things. I suppose it would be accurate to call me a historian.” Keenan’s 12 pieces in her new Port Moody Arts Centre (PMAC) exhibit, titled Street Dance, A Record of Public Performances, complements photographer Phyllis Schwartz’s display, which PMAC hung last month. The two paired up on the theme while both were students at Emily Carr, Keenan said. Meanwhile, PMAC will also show this month the artwork of Langley’s Marilyn Hunt ((Magnified Simplicity, acrylic paintings) and of the Blackberry Artists’ Society, which is hosting its Christmas marketplace. As well, the annual 6x6 artwork auction is on until Dec. 22. • The opening reception for the exhibitions takes place on Nov. 3 at 6 p.m. with the artists in attendance. Admission is free. Call 604-931-2008. jwarren@tricitynews.com
Tri-City artist Gay Mitchell captured the ideas of participants from last Tuesday’s regional arts summit, which was hosted by ArtsConnect. The firstannual event, held at the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, drew about 75 visual artists, actors and musicians as well leaders in the arts community, who came to the conclusion that they need to work collaboratively — no matter what city they live in. Christopher Gaze, artistic director of Bard on the Beach, launched the daylong summit on Oct. 25. JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Classical musicians aim to break down barriers By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Don’t let the name scare you. Pianist Anna Levy and her husband Gregory Myers, a musicologist, know the title of their upcoming recital — Ritual and Narrative in the Music of Post-Modern Eastern Europe: A Program of Contemporary Bulgarian and Russian Piano Music — may be heavy and, perhaps, a little daunting to even the most well-versed classical music lover. But the pair insist they will do everything in their power to break down the barriers to make the overwhelming subject easy to follow along. “It won’t be intimating,” Levy said. “Let’s just call it Bulgarian and Russian music.” Myers said the couple want to make the experience “as informal as possible where the audience can interact or sit back and enjoy the pieces.” In fact, the 90-minute salon show in their Port Moody home on Sunday is simply a rehearsal for their presentation at Princeton University next week. The couple will speak about the academic topic and play examples at the New Jersey campus — an invitation that has left them both excited
and nervous because of the reputation of the Ivy League institution. Earlier this year, Levy and Myers formed the Yarilo Music Society, a non-profit group, with the aim to bring contemporary classical music to a small audience of about 60 people in their downstairs studio, which overlooks Burrard Inlet. Because of the positive response from their inaugural season, the society will launch its second series next month, starting with a concert on Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. (The Microcosmos String Quarter Plays Bartok). It will be followed by four more recitals: Jan. 22 (Mexican concert pianist Edison Quintana); May 12 (Contemplating After Easter: Ritual and Prayer); June 10 (Saxophilia Saxophone Quartet: Metamorphosis); and July 7 and 8 (Alexander Scriabin’s Prometheuss and the Prefatory Act). t • Admission to the Nov. 6 recital at 2 p.m. is by donation at Levy and Myers’ home (34 Shoreline Circle, Port Moody). Light refreshments will be served afterwards and society memberships will be available for $25. Call 604-936-9752 or visit yarilomusic.com. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Frazao on fire for UBC
MARIO BARTEL/BLACK PRESS
Two Coquitlam-based United defenders converge on a Burnaby Lake opponent during a B.C. Rugby Union women’s Tier 1 contest Saturday in Burnaby. United fell, 36-12.
Port Moody soccer product Janine Frazao recorded four goals in two games for the second consecutive week for the No.3-ranked UBC Thunderbirds to capture CIS Canada West female player of the week honours. On Saturday in Calgary, Frazao scored in the 69th minute to give The T-birds a 1-0 win. Then in the T-birds’ final regular-season game, Frazao notched her second hat trick of the year and fifth multi-goal match of the campaign, scoring in the 22nd and 39th minutes to put UBC up 2-0 at the half against Lethbridge before she netted the eventual winner in the 83rd minute in a 3-1 victory over the Pronghorns. Frazao finished the regular season with 16 goals in 14 games, winning the Canada West goal-scoring title. UBC will take on the Alberta Pandas on Friday in the first game of the Canada West final four.
Lordy, Ravens win home thriller, 21-20 Fox, Cents clash Friday By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
One mistake was all that was needed to determine the outcome of Friday’s thrilling B.C. AAA senior high school football league game at Percy Perry Stadium. Fortunately for the Terry Fox Ravens, it went in their favour –– on what proved the game’s final play, no less. A botched extra point foiled the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers’ bid to knot the score in overtime and gave the Ravens a wild 21-20 victory in a crucial Eastern Conference contest. Meanwhile, the host W.J. Mouat Hawks posted a 20-6 triumph over the Centennial Centaurs in Abbotsford also Friday. The high-snap gaffe came after Fox quarterback Trevor Casey connected with Jake Nylund on a nine-yard scoring
toss on the Ravens’ first OT possession from the Cloverdale crew’s 10-yard line. The Panthers replied by also hitting paydirt on their ensuing initial extratime series, only to fall just short in the end. “It was a good game to build on with playoffs coming up,” said Ravens co-head coach Tom Kudaba, whose squad moved to 2-2 in league play, the same mark as the Panthers. “It was very good for the boys to come back in the second quarter from 14 points down to win in overtime. A team effort was required to overcome a Lord Tweedsmuir team that had a good game and was very well coached.” The Ravens trailed 14-0 early before Jake Nylund rallied the Fox offence with a pair of rushing majors from five and yards out to tie the score 14-14 going into halftime.
Some sloppy offensive execution by both squads allowed the score to remain tied through regulation time. Nylund was the main man for the Ravens, rushing for 192 yards on 24 carries and finishing with three touchdowns. He also sparked the Fox defence with four solo tackles, one sack and a fumble recovery. Tyrel Ratich and Jack Brady also notched four solo tackles apiece for the winners, while Brad Lyons, Marko Bevanda and Adrial Sellers had three apiece, with Sellers also adding an interception. In Abby, Mouat scored two touchdowns in the game’s first three minutes which proved the difference in the end against Centennial. Still minus injured star running back Jason Buren, the Cents relied on a gritty de-
fence to keep the high-powered Hawks’ offence in check most of the game. Mouat was in the Cents’ red zone three times and came away with a mere six points as a result, while Centennial failed to scored on two chances within the Hawks’ 10- and 20-yard lines. “Defensively, our goal is always to hold a team to 20 points or less,” said Centaurs head coach Ryk Piche, whose team takes on its fierce Tri-City rivals, the Terry Fox Ravens, on Friday at Percy Perry Stadium, 7 p.m. “If you do, I think you can win 90 per cent of the time. “We need to put up more than six points [against Fox] and stop them from running, which is their main attack.” END ZONE: Brycen Mayoh rushed for a touchdown and scored another on an interception return to spark the Terry Fox Ravens junior varsity squad to a lopsided 60-0 win Thursday over the Earl Marriott Mariners in South Surrey.

Cats lose to top teams, deal for two d-men, 20 By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Falling by eight goals or by one equates into the same in the standings â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a loss. The sting of the former just lingers a bit longer. After g etting bombed 10-2 Thursday by the still-unbeaten Richmond Sockeyes, the Port Moody Black Panthers rebounded Saturday to slip by a fraction, 5-4, to the Delta Ice Hawks at PoMo Rec Complex. The defeats dropped the Cats to 4-4-4 in third place in the five-team Harold Brittain Conference, while the Sockeyes sit at 11-0-0 and the Ice Hawks 9-2-1-1 as the top teams in the 10-squad Pacific International Jr. B hockey league. The Cats were simply overmatched by the surging Sockeyes, who raced to a 3-0 first-period lead, pumped in five powerplay goals and outshot PoMo 55-19 in the game. The Cats also took 51 penalty minutes compared with Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 28. Things were far more balanced Saturday, when the Cats battled back from a 4-1 deficit to pull within one

Express exit late vs. Grizz Minus their top two scorers, the Coquitlam Express were fortunate to get any goals Saturday versus the Victoria Grizzlies, let alone two. With Alex Kerfoot and Alex Petan toiling in Langley to try to make the Canada West team for the 2011 World Junior â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Challenge, the Express hung tough for two periods before the Grizzlies whipped in three unanswered thirdperiod goals and glided to a 5-2 B.C. Hockey L e a g u e w i n b e fo re 513 fans at the Poirier Spor ts and Leisure Complex. The result dropped the Express to 5-6-1-1 in seventh spot in the eight-team Coastal Conference. The 9-7-0-0 Grizzlies outshot Coquitlam 4829, including 15-4 in the pivotal third period. Brady Shaw and Jason Bird netted the goals for the Express, who got a sharp 43-save showing from goalie Khaleed Devji.

at 4-3 before surrendering an empty net goal, then adding another with 25 ticks to go to lose by one. Shots were tighter at 38-34 for the Hawks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flame just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there [against the Sockeyes],â&#x20AC;? said Black Panthers general manager Ron Luniw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The penalties told the story. These are the two strongest teams in the league, in my opinion, and we came out and played our game against Delta. It was a very fastpaced, entertaining game and we came close at the end to winning it.â&#x20AC;? Next, the Cats host the Ridge Meadows Flames on Saturday at PoMo Rec Complex, 7:45 p.m. ICING: Luniw made a pair of key moves last week when he acquired a pair of 20-year-old defencemen â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Joey Weilmeier and Matt Bevilacqua â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the Ridge Meadows Flames, who are struggling with a young nucleus and have won just two of their first 12 games thus far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Latching on to two 20-yearold defenceman in this league? Wow,â&#x20AC;? Luniw gushed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re two solid, veteran guys who are definitely going to help us.â&#x20AC;?

RE-ELECT MAYOR
RICHARD STEWART
Strong Leadership. Proven Results.
In the past three years, Richard has delivered! The Evergreen Line
Richard succeeded in ending the 20-year stalemate; with $1 billion in Federal and Provincial funding, the Evergreen Line is finally on track, and construction will begin within months.
$50 million in savings for Coquitlam Taxpayers
Richard’s focus on prudent financial management has produced REAL results, including $32 million in Capital savings on new projects. Plus, improved relationships with senior governments produced $18 million in infrastructure grants for important local projects.
Public Safety
Richard initiated a traffic safety program, beginning with elementary schools; more children can now safely walk to school. As well, Fire/Rescue improvements and a very successful Crime Reduction Strategy make our whole community safer.
Controlling Taxes
Richard has controlled our costs – a difficult task in the context of a 4% annual wage increase contained in the CUPE union contract (expires this year). Richard will work to ensure the new contract is fair to both employees and taxpayers. Richard never takes political contributions from the unions we need to negotiate with.
Major Projects Under Budget and Ahead of Schedule
The King Edward Overpass NOW OPEN, Town Centre Track and Field Facility $2 million under budget, Poirier Sports Centre Complex $10 million under budget and a year early. Plus, five years of paving completed in a single year.
Dedicated Leadership
Richard instituted stringent cost control and budgeting procedures that are paying benefits to residents. Richard is at City Hall more than any previous Mayor, and his involvement throughout our community is well-known.
Some candidates talk about leadership Mayor Richard Stewart is a REAL LEADER “Richard does a great job for Coquitlam. He has tremendous leadership skills, and has a unique ability to work with people from across the entire political spectrum - left to right - in building consensus.” Bob McNary, Freeman of the City, volunteer with service clubs, Special Olympics, Coquitlam charities and arts/cultural organisations
“We need Richard’s decision-making ability in the Mayor’s office. This is a great community, and Richard has what it takes to lead this community forward.” Lou Passaglia, BC Lions Football Legend and long time Coquitlam resident
“Richard’s leadership and communications skills and his pragmatic and balanced approach have provided real benefits at the regional level on transportation, planning, policing, and other issues, not only for his community but for the entire region. Coquitlam has been well-served by Richard’s leadership.” Dianne Watts, Surrey Mayor
“Mayor Stewart has done a great job; he has our support.” Coquitlam Firefighters
