Northey and the Swiftbirds flying in honour of vets
NOV. 9, 2011
By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Last Friday, 76-year-old John Northey of Port Moody rode his motorcycle to Squamish. This Friday, you’ll have to look skyward to find him — and, no, his road trip didn’t end in tragic misfortune. For more than 30 years, Northey and a group of other pilots of his generation have flown in formation to commemorate Remembrance Day ceremonies across the

Lower Mainland. And this year will be no exception as Northey — a Royal Canadian Air Force pilot in the 1950s and longtime formation flying instructor — and eight others will again slide into the cockpits of their vintage aircraft to honour war veterans and offer those on the ground paying their respects a glimpse of history, including serving the memorial gatherings in Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Belcarra. see FROM PLANES, page 9

Full reports are not in the cards By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Report cards being sent out later this month in TriCity public schools will contain little information besides attendance, except for Grade 12 students who need letter grades to graduate and apply for scholarships and post-secondary education. But parents shouldn’t be left totally in the dark about their child’s progress during the BC Teachers’ Federation job action. In recent weeks, teachers should have been letting parents know about classroom performance and responding to inquiries during an informal reporting period that recently concluded. see GRANT: G :S STUDENTS U S ASSESSED, SS SS , page g 6
Austin tower approved Resident launches flyer campaign to influence election By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A residential highrise planned for Coquitlam’s Austin Heights neighbourhood received final council approval at Monday’s meeting — the final one before the Nov. 19 civic election. Now that decision is part of a campaign within the election campaign as flyers

to get residents to vote out Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart and five councillors on election day. At Monday’s council meeting, Beedie Living’s request to rezone a one-acre property to build a 19-storey residential tower at Austin Avenue and Blue Mountain Street, on the old Shell gas station site, was approved in a 6-3 vote, with councillors Barrie Lynch, who is running for mayor, Brent Asmundson and Lou Sekora voting against. A few audience members applauded after Sekora
urged council to delay the application until after the election and spoke about the residents’ concerns about the upcoming area revitalization that will see highrises along Austin Avenue. Sekora waved a letter, which councillors also received that night, commenting “a lot of new information has come forward” about the Beedie development. “The person is very, very bitter about what’s happening,” Sekora said of the letter writer. see AUSTIN FLYER FLYER,, page 4

Sater pleads not guilty, wants trial before judge alone By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
After months of legal wrangling, a man accused of killing two woman in a hit-and-run accident entered a plea of not guilty in Port Coquitlam Provincial
Court yesterday. Cory Sater was not present at the hearing Tuesday morning but his lawyer, Tony Serka, entered the plea and notified the court his client wishes to be tried by judge alone rather than a judge and jury. A presid-
ing judge will be chosen in the coming days and both sides are expected to meet on Nov. 14 to set a date for trial. The charges stem from a hit-and-run collision near the intersection of the Lougheed Highway and Pitt

Port Coquitlam residents packed the Terry Fox secondary school theatre last week in an effort to learn more about the candidates vying for seats on council in the upcoming civic election. While the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce allcandidates meeting was a cordial affair, sparks did fly for a moment between the two mayoral candidates on the issue of city spending. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore slammed challenger William Issa’s campaign promise to cut the city’s operating budget by 30% — representing about $21.9 million in spending — saying doing so would require dramatic cuts in services. Issa has pledged to come up with the savings by reducing wasteful spending but Moore said if that large of an amount was being squandered, both staff and council would be aware of it. “Do you think the existing council is that dense?” Moore said. “I wish he would come forward to show what he wants to cut.” Issa did not get the chance to respond during Thursday night’s all-candidates meeting but told The Tri-City News on Monday that he would not back down from his promise. He once again asserted his pledge that he

will be able to reduce spending by 30% without cutting any services, and even plans to increase garbage collection to a weekly schedule. “We need to cut the bureaucracy,” Issa said. “There are a lot of employees that are hibernating at the city... that is not efficient. “I would say this is a lifetime opportunity for the people of Port Coquitlam to elect me and get things right. If they don’t, they are going to get the same kind of rubber stamp mayors that we have had for years.” Council candidates were also asked what services they would cut in order to keep taxes low. While most agreed that public consultation would be required before any service reductions were contemplated, several said the city does not need service reductions.

“We are not hearing from people [saying], ‘We want to cut services,’” said Coun. Darrell Penner. “People want more services.” That sentiment was echoed by incumbents Glenn Pollock and Brad West, who said the city is a fairly lean and efficient operation. Staffing cuts were also a way several challengers said they would look to reduce spending while Coun. Mike Forrest said the city’s reliance on outside consultants could be reduced. Candidates answered questions on everything from what they thought was the most pressing business concern facing PoCo to how many meetings they attended during their term. When asked what the biggest business concern facing the city was, challenger Jamie Arden said the city needs to strike a balance be-

tween the larger businesses, like Walmart and Canadian Tire, with the smaller shops and services in the municipality’s downtown. Another challenger, Derek Kootte, said infrastructure improvements were required in all of the city’s commercial areas, not just the city centre. Council candidate Darin Nielsen said it is important for the city to retain its industrial land base, particularly in the Dominion Triangle. Taxation is the largest issue facing the city, according to candidate Michael Thomas, who said businesses cannot properly plan because of the unpredictability of rates. He added that transportation issues are slowing down the movement of goods in the city and the rest of the region. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Teachers and firefighters ID the chosen Teachers back Coq. incumbent trustees By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Endorsements continue to roll in for the Nov. 19 TriCity civic elections, giving voters some information about candidates running for mayor, council and school trustee. Both the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association and the Port Moody Firefighters Association have sent their members lists of candidates they recommend. For this election, the CTA has endorsed four school trustee candidates for Coquitlam but none for Port Coquitlam. Coquitlam incumbents Gail Alty, Brian Robinson, Diane Sowden and Gerri Wallis were all endorsed by the CTA. The only candidate not endorsed in Coquitlam was the lone challenger, Humera Ahsanullah. There are four spots open for Coquitlam school trustees. In Port Coquitlam, the CTA chose not to endorse any of the three candidates who are running for election after surveying and interviewing them. Incumbents John Keryluk and Judy Shirra, and newcomer Bob Lee, a paramedic, are running for PoCo’s two school trustee spots. In a letter to teachers, the CTA stated that it takes seriously its responsibility of recommending candidates and will only recommend candidates in “instances where they demonstrate an awareness of our issues and a commitment to advocating for progressive change.” The CTA letter also stated the recommendations are for information purposes only and not in any way binding. “Every teacher will exercise his/her vote by secret ballot and that is the way that it should be.” Meanwhile, in Port Moody, firefighters are wading into the election debate. Port Moody Firefighters Local 2399 is endorsing Coun. Mike Clay for mayor and incumbents Diana Dilworth and Bob Elliott for council as well as challengers Jason Hulbert, Jimmy Malamas, Nancy Owens and Julie Whitworth. Incumbent Gerry Nuttall, who was on the task force that found $4 million in savings for a planned rebuild for the main fire hall, was not among the candidates recommended by the firefighters. But according to information given to firefighters, the recommended candidates were chosen because they agreed to beef up staffing levels at the Glenayre fire hall. According to the firefighters, the previous council made a decision that understaffs the fire hall in the event of illness or injury. “Port Moody Firefighters Local 2399 is looking forward to righting this wrong with the newly-elected city council,” states the letter to its members. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Mayor Stewar t warned Sekora not to reveal the contents of the letter as councillors are prohibited by the provincial legislation governing civic governments from considering further input about applications following public hearings. Coun. Neal Nicholson said he has put aside many emails from upset residents “and that was sometimes not easy to achieve,� adding he received an email about the Beedie tower bid only 15 minutes earlier and he sent it back. Meanwhile, area resident Todd Purves said he delivered the first of several flyers last week and will be handing out more this and next week to “remind� Austin Heights residents who on city council supported the Beedie proposal. Purves said he has spoken with a few sympathetic council candidates and is recommending area residents cast their votes for incumbents Asmundson, Lynch and Sekora as well as challengers Massimo Mandarino, Andy Wickey, Vincent Wu and Fred Soofi.

WHO AM I AND WHY SHOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME? Hi, my name is Todd Purves and I live in your neighbourhood. I've lived in Coquitlam for 32 years and am raising my family here. The Council Members above have let a developer rezone the old Shell gas station property at 955 Austin (Blue Mountain and Austin) to accommodate a 19 story residential tower. YES A NINETEEN STORY, ALMOST 200 FOOT TALL, BUILDING AT AUSTIN AND BLUE MOUNTAIN. Although I have never been an activist I feel very strongly opposed to this type of development in our neighbourhood. So I am working to get as many of you as possible that agree with me to make your voices heard by our council. On top of coaching my boy's sports, managing my own business and all of the rest of the hustle and bustle of daily life I have taken this on because I feel so strongly about protecting our neighbourhood. This tower is just the beginning - there could be as many as 15 of these monsters in our neighbourhood!
THE COMMUNITY SPOKE Ͳ COUNCIL SAID THEY'D LISTEN... ...THEN THEY SNUCK THROUGH LEGISLATION...Here's what happened... On May 30th of this year, at a public hearing that went until 1:00am, over 220 concerned residents voiced their opposition to the plan to build a high rise building at the corner of Austin and Blue Mountain after I personally dropped flyers off to about 1000 homes in the surrounding area and had some help to deliver another 600 or so over a four day period. I also presented a petition with almost 300 names on it, it's now grown to over 500. Obviously shocked by the turn out the council members above voted to "refer the proposal back to staff" to review it and suggested that they would hold more public hearings into the issue of high density high rise buildings in Austin Heights. To quote the Mayor...
"I think there is a full acceptance that whatever comes out of this process...that they're (the bylaws/high rise) going back to public hearing." - Mayor Richard Stewart May 30th, 2011. The other five Councillors listed above echoed his comment but

When the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan (AHNP) when to public hearing on April 4, it passed without opposition; but a few weeks later, when Beedie officially came forward with its plan, more than 200 people crowded the council chambers. In response, Beedie revised its renderings and lowered the highrise from 24 to 19 storeys. A second public hearing wasn’t held as, under provincial legislation, it is not required when the height drops.
Beedie president Ryan Beedie told The Tri-City News yesterday he doesn’t understand why a second public hearing would be held “when everybody had three years to see the plans for Austin Heights and it was unanimously adopted.� He called council’s decision to move forward with the tower “a positive outcome,� adding, “We are going to do a lot of good.� (He did

“Everybody had three years to see the plans for Austin Heights.� Ryan Beedie, Beedie Living president not comment on what council candidates have received campaign donations from Beedie for this month’s election.) As for Purves’ flyers, Beedie described some of the information as “clearly untrue.� And he said of council’s debate on Monday, which he witnessed: “We respect different views but some of the things that we heard were not rationale.� Meanwhile, in the new year, city staff will undertake more public consultation on the AHNP and the C-5 zone on heights for highrises, the results of which will be reported back to city council, said Raul Allueva, the city’s manager of development services. “The timing for the future public consultation process for the AHNP has not yet been determined as it will have to
be incorporated into the planning and development department work plan for 2012,� he told The Tri-City News. The AHNP calls for 5,000 more residents in 2,500 more homes be-
tween Blue Mountain and Linton streets and Foster and Rochester avenues; a total of 15 sites are proposed to have towers of more than 15 storeys. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Another piece of public land is about to be put on the market by the city of Coquitlam. On Monday, council gave three readings to an application that, if approved, would see several road allowances cancelled around 2976 Pheasant St. — off Christmas Way — and consolidated with two adjacent city-owned lots. The result would create a 1.15-acre parcel in the industrial zone. “The proposed road cancellation and consolidation with city-owned proper ties would result in potentially higher land value for the future development,� planning general manager Jim McIntyre wrote in a report to the city’s land use committee last month. It’s not the only land the city wants to get rid of. Last month, after a public hearing, council rezoned the cityowned property at 1188 Pinetree Way — close to where the future Evergreen Line will be — for higherdensity use. I n S e p t e m b e r, council cancelled roads at 2150 Como Lake Ave., next to Hillcrest middle school, to consolidate them with a larger city property, and on Burke Mountain, where the city plans to assemble about 30 surrounding acres to place on the block. In February, counc i l re z o n e d 1 1 1 2 Westwood St. — a vacant 2.79-acre treed lot between Lincoln and Anson avenues — for a future mixed-use high-density development. Meanwhile, a nearby property, a 1.2-acre parcel at 1123 Westwood St., south of Lincoln Avenue, that’s earmarked for high density, is about to be sold to Onni Development Corp. for $7 million.

Grant: Students assessed despite teacher job action continued from front page
If parents want more infor mation or still haven’t heard anything, they should contact their child’s teachers, suggested School District 43 Tom Grant. “I’m hearing that parents are either getting interim phone calls, emails and, if not, if requested, the response is pretty quick,” Grant said. Infor mal report cards containing comments are typically sent out in early November but weren’t this year because of teacher job action. Still, Grant said teachers continue to assess students, keep track of marks and contact parents if there are problems. “I think we’re fairly lucky in our district in that I think teachers are taking their responsibility to prepare, plan, instruct, assess and communicate pretty seriously,” Grant said. He said he hasn’t heard any complaints from parents about lack of communication of student progress but decided to publish a letter to parents on the school district’s website (www.sd43.bc.ca) last week explaining the reporting process so parents know what to expect. The next major reporting period is the one before the winter break and Grant said he expects Grade 12 students to get a full accounting of their marks because they need this information for graduation. “The teachers, through their union, have assured us that they will follow the labour relations board ruling,” Grant said. As well, students will get marks if a course is taught by a principal or vice-principal. In most cases, however, report cards will contain only contain attendance information and teacher names. For example, report cards for the youngest students will be mostly blank because they are typically anecdotal and can’t be written without teacher involvement. B.C. public school teachers have refused t o d o re p o r t c a rd s after voting in favour of job action this summer to back contract demands. Still, report cards will be prepared by principals and viceprincipals because they are required by law. Meanwhile, students
get an extra day off on the Remembrance Day long weekend as SD43 schools are closed Monday, Nov. 14 as a budget-balancing effort. The district expects to save money by not hiring on that day teachers on call to fill in for sick teachers. The district is also extending the 2012 spring break for the same reason. School days were extended to make up the lost days. dstrandberg @tricitynews.com

The B.C. Coroners Service is investigating after a human foot was found in a hiking boot on the weekend on the shore of Sasamat Lake in Port Moody. A young person at the Sasamat Outdoor Centre first noticed the black size 12 Cougar boot floating several metres from shore on Friday. By the next morning, the boot had washed up on shore and several campers found a sock and remains of what tests confirmed Monday was a human foot. The foot is the ninth found in southwestern B.C. in the past four years but the first discovered in fresh water. The other eight cases also involved running shoes, not hiking boots, the Coroner Service noted. “The autopsy did not show any tool marks or impressions on the bones, or any evidence to suggest the foot had been mechanically separated from the body,� the Coroners Service stated in a press release. “Like the others, it appears to have disarticulated naturally as a result of having spent a period of time in the water.� DNA testing will be undertaken and the foot will be compared using the province’s database of missing persons. The Coroners Service said it would be working with local law enforcement agencies in determining the identity of the person to whom the foot belonged. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Questions raised about compost info City seeks identities of people behind erroneous information By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Residents of Port Coquitlam received a flyer on their doorstep slamming a proposed compost facility. out plan,” Salberg said. “The technology is raising the bar and this is going to be a showcase compost fa-
cility.” The project is curr e n t l y wo rk i n g i t s w ay t h ro u g h Po r t Coquitlam’s building
Chong said the municipality, the region, the province and the federal government all have stringent criteria for waste-processing facilities and Cascade w i l l h av e t o m e e t those requirements before it can begin its operations. The city has been tracking the distribution of the flyer, which first popped up in the Citadel Heights neigh-
b o u r h o o d ove r t h e weekend. Residents reported that it later spread through Mary Hill and started popping up on the doorsteps of homes on the city’s north side. It has not been distributed through Canada Post and its origin is so far untraceable. “It is shocking and unbelievable how disg raceful it is,” said
Po C o M ayo r G re g Moore. “It shows a lack of respect for our local government and our residents.” • For more information about the proponent and its compost facility, go to www.cascadecorp.ca. The city of Port Coquitlam has also provided information at www.portcoquitlam.ca/compostplant. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

A brochure being distributed to homes across Port Coquitlam slamming a compost facility proposed for land next to the Mary Hill Bypass contains inaccuracies and is likely the work of a rival corporation, said the facility’s operator. And the city wants to get the word out that the proposal is still a long way from becoming reality. In a press release T u e s d ay, Po C o c i t y administrator Tony Chong said the municipality, the region, the province and the federal government all have stringent criteria for waste-processing facilities and Cascade Re n e w a b l e C a r b o n C o r p. w i l l h ave t o meet those requirements before it could gain city approval and begin operations. And Jerry Salberg, ow n e r o f C a s c a d e, which is proposing to build the facility, said whoever is distributing the four-pa g e glossy pamphlet has a lot of money behind its campaign and is likely not associated with a grassroots group. The brochure states that it is from the “Coalition for an Environmentally Friendly Port Coquitlam” but neither the city nor several prominent environmentalists in the Tri-Cities have heard of the org anization and no contact information is provided on the document. “It is somewhat incomprehensible to me that someone would take this kind of tactic,” Salberg said. “It is a phantom coalition.” T he pamphlet inaccurately states, among other things, that Cascade has not complied with permit requirements or the city’s public consultation process. It also alleges that the company’s technology will har m sensitive wetlands by leaching into the ground water. In fact, Salberg said the compost materials that the facility would process would not touch the ground and would be kept in a state-of-the-art container facility to be operated by a B.C.based company. “The reality is that this is a well thought-
per mit process and will have to go before Metro Vancouver for consideration for another permit application. City of Port Coqutilam staffers also have some concer ns w i t h t h e m i s i n f o rmation being spread around the community. PoCo’s Chong said the city has made attempts to identify the group responsible for distributing the brochure but have been unsuccessful. “What is this coalition and does it genuinely represent the interests of Port Coquitlam residents?” he asked in a press release. “Port Coquitlam’s council and staff are always receptive to hear the concerns of residents. The fact that this coalition never made its existence known during public discussion of this project and continues to remain anonymous raises questions as to its purpose.”

From planes to boats to bikes for former mayor continued from front page
Northey heads the Swiftbird For mation Te a m o u t o f P i t t Meadows Airport and his four-pilot group will join five others from the Langley-based Snowflakes crew to form a nine-plane formation on Friday. The Swiftbirds have been together 20 years, often joining in various summertime air shows around the province in addition to their Remembrance Day journeys. And in all those formations, the man who was mayor of Por t Moody from 1993 to ’96 said he has never

Preparation is the key to a safe flight, says John Northey, noting it takes longer to prepare for a formation flight than the flight itself. encountered a nearmishap. A big reason
for that, he said, is the briefing for a forma-
tion takes as long as the flight itself, and that all
pilots taking part know they’re an integral part of a team. Northey bought his Globe Swift, a two-seat sport monoplane from the post-Second World War period, 38 years ago. In addition to flying and, more recently, motorcycling, Northey is an accomplished sailor and safety advocate on the water. From 2002 to ’04, he was a member of the not-for-profit Port Moody Power and Sail Squadron and for a decade starting in 1999, he taught weather and regulatory environment portions of the boat safety course the PoMo squadron runs
twice annually. “Knowledge of the weather is a very important safety consideration for both aviators and mariners alike,” Northey said. “Making sure you’re well educated and well informed are requirements for both safe flying and safe boating.” And in his 30-plus years flying formation for Remembrance Day, only weather got in the way, with heavy fog grounding the team. That will be less of a problem for Northey since he recently sold his boat and bought a motorcycle, prompting a question of why a 76-year-old man feels
the need to fire up an engine and cruise skies, waters and roads. “I wouldn’t call [myself] a thrill-seeker,” Northey said. “It’s more a desire to turn dinosaurs into noise.”
UP IN THE AIR • Northey’s team of formation fliers will take to the sky Friday at 11 a.m. and, in order and in spans of roughly 90 seconds, fly over ceremonies in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, Port M o o d y, B e l c a r r a , North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Jericho and downtown Vancouver’s Victory Square. lpruner@tricitynews.com
Remembrance Day events Tri-City residents have several opportunities to honour local veterans and those who continue to serve in the Canadian armed forces at three Remembrance Day ceremonies this Friday, Nov. 11. In Port Coquitlam, an indoor Remembrance Day service will be held at Wilson Centre (2150 Wilson Ave.) starting at 9:30 a.m. Following the service, veterans and members of the Royal Canadian
Legion will lead a parade to the cenotaph at Veteran’s Park, in front of PoCo city hall, where a service will be held at 11 a.m. In Coquitlam, a service will take place in the Como Lake middle school auditorium (1121 King Albert Ave.) at 10 a.m. A parade from the school to the cenotaph on Veterans’ Way will take place at 10:30 a.m., followed by the Act of Remembrance and the Laying of Wreaths cer-
emony at 11 a.m. The parade will then move from the cenotaph to the Coquitlam Legion Hall (1025 Ridgeway Ave.) starting at 11:30 a.m. In Port Moody, a service will be held at 10 a.m. outside the Port Moody Legion (2513 Clarke St.). The service will be followed by a parade to the cenotaph at 10:25 a.m. where a 21-gun salute will take place. A wreath-laying ceremony will follow.

Pay attention
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
T
here is no easy way for voters to sort the lightweights from the political heavyweights in civic elections. In fact, the boxing ring analogy is not really appropriate here. There are so many candidates running for office Nov. 19 — more than 60 in the TriCities alone — that the election is more like an endurance race than a battle. It would be easy to give the whole event a pass. There seem to be very few heart-stirring issues and a surprising amount of agreement among candidates. Everyone seems to want at least some scrutiny of operating expenses, less red tape for business, more parks and recreation programs, less crime, more housing options and a careful eye on growth. And transit, don’t forget transit. But probe a little deeper and there are divisions and different points of view. Some candidates, for example, are aligning themselves to certain groups, unions or business while others are openly supporting one mayoral candidate or other. In some cases, provincial and federal political parties are calling the shots. (Hint: if you get a phone call, especially a robo-call, chances are there’s a provincial political machine backing that candidate.) These allegiances aren’t a bad thing as voters at least know what they’re getting. But learning about these distinctions takes work. You have to read what the candidates say about themselves, follow political reporting and pay attention to every nuance. Attending an all-candidates meeting is one option but they are not always helpful. There are simply too many candidates at the microphone to get a true picture of where they stand and you can’t grill them if their comments are lame, uninformed or unbelievable. This problem could be addressed, in part, if mayors got their own debate. But for some reason this rarely, if ever, happens. So it’s up to the voter to do the work and figure out who best represents their point of view. Don’t vote and you can’t complain. Do the heavy-lifting and you, too, can wear the button: “I survived the civic election of 2011.”
‘Occupy’ movement another bunch of squatters BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA full three weeks after the Occupy Wall Street protest camp sprang up in New York City, a few stragglers announced they were almost ready to Occupy Maple Ridge and Occupy Revelstoke. Perhaps other pathetic protests are still being dreamed up around B.C. but most have already packed up, and in places such as Prince George, these anti-capitalist rallies never led to an illegal squat. Let’s be clear about our squats, the ones in Canada and particularly B.C. They are explicitly anti-capitalist and statist in their message, which is presumably why they were funded by government unions. Despite the free food, power and porta-potties, these squats quickly became filthy and dangerous as the chronic street drug population replaced the spoiled young drummers
A
and hula-hoopers who camped out to curse corporations on their iPhones. And yes, squats are still illegal here, following a unanimous October decision of the B.C. Court of Appeal against David Arthur Johnston. This pretend-homeless guy’s antics are at the root of the latest squatter outbreak. Victoria and its courts caved in to Johnston and allowed camping on public property at night. But he demanded 24-hour squatting rights because some supposedly homeless people are supposedly insomniacs, too. Turns out there were plenty of shelter beds on which to snooze away the day or night, and his vague claim of a constitutional right to camp on public property was summarily dismissed. I had a brief exchange with an Occupy Vancouver “organizer,” one Min Reyes, as she tried to rouse the reluctant radicals of Maple Ridge. Reyes defines herself in her Twitter profile as “Flirting with Anarchism while making love to Socialism,” which sums up B.C.’s Occupy movement as well as anything.
TRI-CITY NEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATION 53,469 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703
“My personal approach to the analysis of society relies on Marx’s historical materialism,” Reyes writes on her blog. After majoring in Marxism at SFU, she moved on to BCIT’s journalism program but dropped out after a couple of weeks because her studies “compromised my personal values.” Turns out BCIT is all about “skills” to get a “job.” Bummer. A glimpse of these “values” was on display when a reporter from CKNW radio tried to cover a heroin overdose at Occupy Vancouver. She was shouted down and accused of shaping the news to benefit “Coke and McDonalds.” At Occupy Victoria, which I visited a few times before it descended into another needle park, signs warned against “chem trails,” smart meters and corporations. Campers were urged to “nationalize finance, energy and food” industries. A five-year plan for tractor production, anyone? Nationalizing banks is also at the top of Occupy Vancouver’s long, pretentious list of demands. Why is this stale leftist ideology so perva-
sive? Here’s a hint: The union representing these kids’ teachers is demanding higher corporate taxes to pay for their typically self-serving, financially illiterate contract demands. Here in Victoria, as in Vancouver, the huge growth in shelter, food, clothing and transition housing service doesn’t impress the hardcore system users. Victoria’s mayor built his reputation with years of street outreach work but he’s still targeted for the ugliest treatment, including vandalism at his family home. Victoria council even kow-towed by voting to “support” the squat next to city hall, where Johnston used to camp. Then they cut off the power and water, which had been commandeered rather than set up by city staff at taxpayers’ expense, as was the case in Vancouver. In B.C.’s most “progressive” cities, we’re getting used to encountering public areas fouled by vomit, feces and used needles.

RE-ELECT Lou Sekora to Coquitlam Council
“40 years of public service”
Look out for bad drivers The Editor, On any given day when you are driving in or around Port Coquitlam, there are so many bad drivers. What is happening? They drive around talking on the phone, not paying attention. And red lights, does anyone know what they mean? Why stop at red lights? Lots of people just put down their foot and carry on. There are more vehicles on the road, we all know that. The level of driving is definitely not as good as it used to be. It used to be that every car came with signals so that you could let people know which way
you are turning. I guess newer cars do not have them anymore as hardly anyone uses them. Try to be a pedestrian, crossing at marked crosswalks is a joke. You can stand there for a long time waiting for anyone to stop for you. If you are in a crosswalk, keep all your eyes and ears open as drivers will still try to run you over. School zones? Most of the people who drive fast in this area are the mommies and daddies rushing to take their kids to and from school. Get a grip, people — the 30 km/h speed limit in school zones is for your kids, so slow down. Sadly, life is spinning way too
fast we all feel that but slow down a little see the signs and obey them. Stop eating and drinking in the car. Please do not talk and text on your phones — do it before you leave the house or when you get back because nothing is that important that you cannot pull over and deal with it or ignore and call back. I urge you to be very careful whether you are walking, cycling or driving in your car. We would all like to get home safely at the end of every day with our families, so take a deep breath and slow down life a little bit. S. Mullen, Port Coquitlam
Self-serve retail hurts jobs The Editor, It is a matter of stark astonishment to me when, with poll after poll showing jobs and the economy as our top concern, I see people in retail stores dutifully trooping through the growing number of self-serve checkouts. These machines exist for only one reason: To reduce the number of staff and/or reduce hours for existing staff.
sometimes pay benefits. A clerk job, for some, may mean the difference between making ends meet at the end of the month or not. Or it may mean, for a young person, making next year’s tuition. Write your retail managers. Refuse self-serve checkouts and say why. Keep your own community working. Doug Rolling, Port Coquitlam
Doubtless the retail corporations will deny this. They will hand us the usual clichés about “serving you better,” etc., which is quite beside the point. Common sense tells us that the more machines you have doing the work of cashiers, the fewer cashiers you are going to need. Retail jobs may not be glamorous but they can be steady and

Transportation & Taxes Lou knows we need rapid transit or skytrain to Coquitlam but at what expense! Currently, we are $600-800 million short. Approval of this expense only allows Transit to borrow the money, then comes the interest and another increase of about $23.00 per household. If this project is not a success to start with, taxes on businesses and residences will go up again. Raising taxes is not the answer. The money should come from provincial carbon taxes and federal gas taxes. The Transit budget is out of sight. Let’s get all the facts before any approval is given. No more surprises!
Budget & Taxes We need to get back to a 0-based budget where the Mayor and Council set the annual budget before May 15, not in December as it has been done for the past few years. To prepare the budget, Mayor and Council need to know what the surplus in each department is (end of March) and what the property assessments are coming in at (around January 15). Then the budget can be set or there will be no control over high tax increases. Where is the leadership and accountability for taxpayers dollars.

The first phase of redeveloping Coquitlam’s oldest park will cost nearly $2 million — but it won’t look anything like the conceptual plan stakeholders saw earlier this year. Last week, at the city’s recreation committee meeting, members saw a rendering of how the original proposal for Mackin Park will be affected by Metro Vancouver’s utility rights of way. Representatives for the regional government have told Coquitlam staff they don’t want concrete poured or trees or fill covering the rights of way in case they need

Reinheimer, Coquitlam’s manager of parks and facilities. As well, Metro Vancouver staff also want to be on site when construction happens at the park, she said.
Coun. Selina Robinson said stakeholders and Maillardville residents who took part in the consultation exercises with the city this and last year should be alerted to the changes, especially for the skateboard park, water play area and tennis courts. Phase 1 of the park upgrades — a major component to the neighbourhood revitalization in the French-speaking enclave — also include replacement of utilities, new gardens, a promenade and a central events plaza. The Beedie Group, which plans to build a waterfront village at
nearby Fraser Mills, is donating $500,000 towards the cost of sports field improvements at Mackin Park, which is home to Coquitlam Little League, Coquitlam Minor Football and Festival du Bois. Park users have been told the north part of the park will be fenced off during construction, until next summer. jwarren @tricitynews.com

Scrap metal thieves targeting wired world By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA – With copper trading at more than $3 a pound, thefts of phone wire have become a daily occurrence in B.C., and the provincial government is tightening rules for scrap metal sales in an effort to stop it. Police say it’s not just power and phone lines being targeted now. Aluminum ladders, billboards, grave markers, street signs and even manhole covers are being stolen. Construction sites are targeted for plumbing and wiring.
A bill before the B.C. legislature will require metal sellers to register for a “customer code” that must be recorded along with the description of any metal sold. The approach is similar to that taken with B.C. pawn shops, where operators must have transaction records to show police. Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond said the phone and electric grids are vulnerable, as well as 911 service, and she wants the federal government to consider new penalties for theft from critical infrastructure. “Good security and
Five charged for selling forged transit passes Police say counterfeit ring included foreigners By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Transit Police have busted a counterfeit ring accused of selling fake TransLink monthly transit passes that were made in China. Insp. Brian MacDonald said counterfeit two-zone FareCards that normally sell for $110 were marketed for about $90 to $100 through Chinese and English ads on social networking sites. “It was a fairly sophisticated operation,” he said, adding hundreds of passes were made and sold. Xue Liu, a 22-year-old Chinese citizen living in Vancouver, is charged with three charges of forgery, possession and presentation of forged documents. Four other Vancouver residents — 23-yearold Brian Anthony Nardi, 26-year-old Ja s o n K a - Yi u L aw, 29-year-old Thunyapa S i r i p r a p a ko r n a n d 2 7 - ye a r- o l d Je s s i c a Tsz Ching Woo — face charges of possessing or presenting forgeries. L i u a n d Siriprapakorn, a Thai citizen, are here on student or visitor visas. A third foreign national has been deported for being in Canada illegally as a result of the eight-month investigation, which is continuing and could lead to more charges. It’s illegal to buy transit passes from anyone but a licensed FareDealer, MacDonald said. “People who buy these are putting themselves at significant
risk,” he said, adding violators could get a $173 ticket or face criminal charges depending on the circumstances. TransLink expects pass counterfeiting and illegal reselling of tickets will subside in 2013 when it rolls out its Compass smart card payment system. jnagel@blackpress.ca
surveillance equipment doesn’t always stop the thieves from coming back again and again, especially when your metals are necessarily in remote locations, or distributed along hundreds of kilometres of roads,”
Bond said. “Even though many scrupulous recyclers consistently turn away shady characters, somebody keeps buying, and that has to stop.” Telus executive Dave Cunningham said 2011 has been a particularly

Chief Const. Bob Downie said thieves recently took all the drainage grates from a 5 km stretch of Highway 17 between Victoria and the ferry terminal, leaving a dangerous situation for cyclists and drivers.

Salmon inquiry to reopen hearings into virus reports Fish farms, critics trade shots over initial test results
I spent 36 years working as a photojournalist in Coquitlam and saw Ärst hand the issues that affect our citizens.
By Jeff Nagel
I was your eyes and ears in this community and now I will be a strong voice for you on Coquitlam city council.
BLACK PRESS
The Cohen inquiry will hear more evidence in December to weigh reports that a deadly salmon virus has infected multiple species of wild salmon on the B.C. coast. The commission into the decline of Fraser River sockeye had ended hearings in September and began taking final submissions Friday. But commission counsel Brian Wallace said the inquiry will reconvene for two more days of testimony in mid-December. “Testing of samples of Pacific salmon from two areas of the province has indicated the possible presence of the Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) virus in several Pacific salmon,” Wallace said. More results are expected within a month, he said, adding the inquiry has asked for the latest test results and information on the fish. The first reported detection of ISA in two sockeye smolts sampled along the central coast was disclosed by SFU researcher Rick Routledge in early October, after the inquiry stopped h e a r i n g w i t n e s s e s, including experts on salmon diseases. Independent biologist and anti-fish farm activist Alexandra Morton said three more salmon taken from lower Fraser tributaries — a chinook, a coho and a chum — also tested positive for ISA virus. The Canadian Food I n s p e c t i o n A g e n cy (CFIA) is analysing the samples and has not yet confirmed any of the positive tests. News of the potential ISA infection has rocked the B.C. salmon industry, raising the spectre stocks here may be hit with an ISA outbreak of the type that have ravaged Chilean and European fish farms. Fisheries critics fear the virus is loose in the wild and will be able to infect net pen Atlantic salmon farms — if they are not there already — and pose a continuing threat to wild salmon stocks. “All these fish farms need to close down now,” Morton said, adding ISA becomes more virulent in captive environments like fish farms and hatcheries. “The only hope is to

The Cohen inquiry will look into reports that a deadly salmon virus has infected wild salmon on the British Columbia coast. turn off the source, stop crowding fish together and let this thing burn through the wild Pacific like a forest fire and extinguish itself. That’s it, there is no other option.” Morton also wants a B.C. lab established to test for ISA and that it be overseen by an international board. The B.C. Salmon Farmers Association said it has sampled thousands of fish from its members’ farms without finding any ISA. But critics like Morton don’t trust in-
dustry-controlled tests. And U.S. senators from Washington and Alaska have also called for independent tests, suggesting Canadian officials may be too close to the $400-million aquaculture industry. Mainstream Canada, an aquaculture firm, said in a statement independent re-testing of the first reported samples has come back inconclusive. It cited a Norwegian researcher who was unable to replicate the earlier results and cautioned a weak positive
result can reflect a different virus with a similar genetic profile. Mainstream said it’s critical to wait for the CFIA tests to give the final word and accused Morton of “spreading fear and concern without any basis in fact.” ISA has mainly been a disease of far med Atlantic salmon and the European strain can kill up to 90 per cent of infected fish. Some researchers and aquaculture organizations say it may pose less of a threat to wild sockeye. jnagel@blackpress.ca

New View, new digs, new hopes PoCo facility aims to serve people with mental illness By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The chair of New View Society says the opening of a new clubhouse and 10-bed residence for people with mental illness has been “magical” and he can’t wait to welcome people to the community wellness centre at 2050 Mary Hill Rd. Ted Kuntz said New View’s metamorphosis from a single-purpose building to a multi-purpose facility where people can be together, share experiences, learn job skills and live independently has been bumpy but, ultimately, rewarding. “It says what a caring community can do when it wants to,” Kuntz said about the a $4.1-million community wellness centre and housing facility that opened recently on the former Lobb House site in Port Coquitlam. New View Society quietly opened the doors to Iris House and a community wellness centre this summer after getting occupancy approvals, and, while there is still evidence of the recent move, staff say New View members and residents are settling in to the new digs. “They feel that it is their home,” said housing manager Louise Jolicoeur. New resident Kim Materi moved into Iris House in August and said it was scary at first but now she enjoys her independence. She has her own key and can easily get into the duplex she shares with four other people because it’s wheelchair accessible. The 31-year-old was living with her parents and is now learning how to cook and take care of herself. “It’s felt really good to get more freedom and independence,” Materi said. With the recent move, New View is finally able to consolidate programming for 300 clubhouse members who live in the Tri-Cities as well as provide offices for staff who manage New View’s other residential apartments.
GRAND OPENING On Thursday, Nov. 10, New View will host a grand opening beginning at 1:30 p.m. and running until 7 p.m. There will be an opportunity for the public to view the common area in the duplex and the clubhouse, located at 2050 Mary Hill Rd. in Port Coquitlam.
Materi said having the clubhouse downstairs means she can easily get to programs using the elevator. “I love being there, they are wonderful people,” she said. Dar rell Roemer, New View’s program manager, said it’s a relief to finally have everything all in one location and noted that many new programs have been added, including job skills, computer courses, music nights, stop-smoking programs, drama and creative writing groups, and classes on graphic design and fitness to name a few. “We have so many opportunities now because of the space,” Roemer said. Kuntz said his wish is to be able to invite the community to take part in wellness programs at the new centre and a new commercial kitchen may provide spin-off opportunities such as catering services. “I want to see the mandate get larger,” Kuntz said. Building the new residential facility and clubhouse took several years; first, the 1912-era Lobb House, named after the former city councillor who built it, was torn down for safety reasons. Then the clubhouse was built below the residential facility to save money. At first, there was no carpeting in the basement until staff and members purchased it with their own money. Fraser Health and New View fundraising have helped pay for some new furnishings and the new building has all the comforts of home, including an inviting fireplace and patio. Stained glass reclaimed

from the Lobb House has also been included in the design. “In some ways, it was magical how it all came to be,” Kuntz said. Iris House 1 provides independent living to five young adults with mental health issues; each has his or her own room and they all share a living room and kitchen. Iris
House 2 offers more structured programming for five adults with mental health concer ns and substance abuse issues. They have to have committed to taking responsibility for their recovery and both groups can stay at Iris House for 18 months to two years or longer if necessary.
Executive director Jill Calder said Iris House is the first in the Tri-Cities serving young people and adults with concurrent disorders and is a model for other communities trying to meet the needs of diverse groups. “We knew these areas are high need and we are happy to be providing it,” Calder said.

A GOOD READ Annette Oram
O
ne of the great advantages of working in a library is that you are never at a loss for something new or different to read. The great variety of tempting titles and jacket covers can be embarrassingly irresistible. Discovering a new author and exploring new topics can be very rewarding and provide a nice change from your old favourites — and makes dragging home that bulging book bag quite worthwhile. The following nonfiction titles are just a small example of good reads waiting for you at your local library. No Biking in the House without a Helmet is the perfect example of a title and cover too good to resist — and thankfully so. The mother of four children, facing an emptying nest and the end of school cupcake days, journalist Melissa Fay Green and her husband did what she needed to do. As she puts it, “We brought in some ringers.” They began with the adoption of a four-year-old boy from Bulgaria and eventually expanded the family to include an additional four children from Ethiopia. But this is much more than a story about the joys and sorrows of international adoption. With amazing honesty and incredible humour, the author explores the true meaning of family, the ever-changing role of parenting and even the mysteries of raising teenagers. Never sappy and often laugh-out-loud funny, this book is a true gem. Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand takes the reader on a completely different and gripping journey. It is the remarkable story of American Olympic distance runner Louis Zamperini. Growing up in Torrance, California as the son of Italian immigrants, Zamperini was well on his way to becoming the town’s best known juvenile delinquent. Determined to straighten Louis out, his brother signed him up for the local high school track team. Zamperini soon began setting impressive world track records that would earn him a spot on the 1936 Berlin Olympic team and an international reputation. His running career, however, was interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War. While serving as a bombardier,
Zamperini’s plane crashed into the Pacific. He and another crew member would survive 47 days in a small raft (ironically, another record at that time) before being picked up by the Japanese. His subsequent internment and torture as an unrec-
ognized prisoner of war are the focus of much of the book. The author does not shrink away from the harsh details, events and images of this period. It’s only by fully understanding what Zamperini endured that we can truly comprehend the power of his spirit and his amazing ability not only to physically survive, but to teach others to forgive. Rockers and Rollers: A Full-Throttle Memoir by Brian Johnson is not as it first appears to be — just one more book in the latest crop of rock and roll memoirs and biographies. What’s surprising is that it is not really about Brian Johnson’s time as a rock band
member. Johnson, front man for AC/DC, writes as much, if not more, about his lifelong love affair with cars as he does about his musical career — although his recounting of his secret audition for the band is particularly funny. With very short, engaging chapters, Johnson takes readers down to the “local” for a pint to share some interesting stories and a few laughs. You definitely don’t have to be an AC/ DC fan to appreciate this book and car and racing fans may particularly enjoy it. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Annette Oram works at Port Moody Public Library.

DOUG MACDONELL Dear Coquitlam Neighbour, My name is Doug Macdonell and I'm running for my 3rd term on Coquitlam City Council. Your Council has accomplished a lot in that time: the Town Centre Tournament Facility, the Arena renovation, the new Town Centre Library, the King Edward overpass, to name just a few. The next three years promise to be just as important and just as busy. Did you know, for instance, that the Federal Government predicts that immigration to the Greater Vancouver area over the next 20 years will bring in more than one million new residents? And at least 70,000 of those new residents are expected to settle in Coquitlam. That is going to be a challenge for our physical and social infrastructure. I have already been working hard as your representative on Council to make sure that our roads, our housing choices, and our recreational and other social choices and services will be ready to meet this unprecedented growth. Let's keep it going, and let me continue with the work your Council has started. On Saturday, November 19th please cast your vote for experience and vision. Best regards,
Doug Macdonell

John Northey is one such person in our community and he deserves the spotlight and a hearty round of applause. He and his wife Gay have supported many community organizations in the Tri-Cities area over many years. John is a former Royal Canadian Air Force pilot and instructor and continues to fly his own plane. He is a formation flying instructor and has led one of the formations which have flown over the Remembrance Day Services in the lower mainland for the past 30 or more years with 20 of those years flying with the Swiftbird Formation Team. Members of the “the Snowflakes” are now part of the Team which usually provides the largest number of aircraft for Remembrance Day flybys. And this Remembrance Day John and his wingmen will, once again, slide into their cockpits to provide formation flybys over the Tri-Cities and other areas to help honour our beloved Veterans.

Each November, Poppies blossom on the lapels and collars of over half of Canada’s entire population. Since 1921, the Poppy has stood as a symbol of Remembrance, our visual pledge to never forget all those Canadians who have fallen in war and military operations. The Poppy also stands internationally as a “symbol of collective reminiscence”, as other countries have also adopted its image to honour those who have paid the ultimate sacriÀce. This signiÀcance of the Poppy can be traced to international origins. The association of the Poppy to those who had been killed in war has existed since the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before being adopted in Canada. There exists a record from that time of how thickly Poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. This
History of the Poppy
early connection between the Poppy and battleÀeld deaths described how Àelds that were barren before the battles exploded with the blood-red Áowers after the Àghting ended. Just prior to the First World War, few Poppies grew in Flanders. During the tremendous bombardments of that war, the chalk soils became rich in lime from rubble, allowing “popaver rhoes” to thrive. When the war ended, the lime was quickly absorbed and the Poppy began to disappear again. The person who was responsible more than any other for the adoption of the Poppy as a symbol of Remembrance in Canada and the Commonwealth was Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian Medical OfÀcer during the First World War.

Tetrault, 59, has spent a good portion of his life collaborating with others to paint large-scale mural projects on buildings — as a form of both beautifying the specified area and bringing together all types in that given community to share in the project. “I’m not interested in the commercial aspect,” said the White Rock-born Tetrault, who’ll be the first featured artist at the Salon Speaker Series on Nov. 15 at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts at 7 p.m. “I have no desire to, say, paint a scenic mural at a restaurant. It has to be challenging and a little out of the box.” And many of Tetrault’s projects have been much larger than your average box. For instance, two years ago he was the co-ordinator of five artists engaging in a project called Through the Eye of the Raven, where they colourfully and tastefully decorated and refurbished the exterior of a six-story old hotel in east Vancouver. In total, the mural covered a staggering 7,600 square feet. A Semiahmoo secondary school grad who went on to art institutions in both Vancouver and New York, Tetrault returned earlier this week from another broader-scale group endeavour in Santiago, Cuba, where many hands took part in what was dubbed Ideas of North, featuring four Canadian La Raza artists and covering 1,500 square feet over a fleeting six-day period. “[The murals] are a fairly long pro-

I try to orchestrate it so younger people get involved and [those] with limited or no artistic talent. Everybody has something to offer in that regard, I believe. “A lot of it is learning as you go.” Tetrault’s talent can also be viewed at several Vancouver-area public schools, often helping to mitigate graffiti and involving students and their parents to join in the broad-scale endeavour. “[The work] varies from year to year,” Tetrault said. “The reality is there’s a lot more interest in it usually because of the community aspect of it.” • Tickets for Tetrault’s presentation are $5 and can be purchased by calling 604-664-1636, or in person at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam). lpruner@tricitynews.com

The fine art of conversing ESL teacher, book editor reflects on her business’ year helping international students with their English By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tracy Boshard wasn’t quite sure what she was getting into when she opened The Conversation in Port Moody a year ago. But she knew there was a market to create a safe, comfortable space for international students and newcomers to hone their English as well as for Canadians to mix with people from other cultures and to enjoy fine art. Her meeting hub/art gallery on St. John’s Street is something she would have liked to have had while she was an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher in Japan, where she worked for more than a decade — first as an editor in Tokyo at the Asahi Shimbun, then as a Berlitz-trained instructor and book editor in Hiroshima. The idea for her informal discussion room came after she returned home in 2003 and she continued to teach ESL privately and at Simon Fraser University’s Harbour Centre campus. “I really love to teach conversation,” she said, “but I just found it really constraining to do because I always would have to meet people in coffee shops or at homes. When I had the chance to open my own place, I took it because, I thought, ‘Why not open a place that’s theirs and Canadian people can walk in, too?’” Boshard, who at next week’s PechaKucha Coquitlam Volume 5 will talk about the paradox of language, said the structure for her quasi-classroom is simple and relaxed: members can strike up or join a conversation in progress and share their experiences about living in Canada. Spoken English is a must. “I’ve never had to enforce this rule,” Boshard said. Still, she defines a conversation as only 20% words. “People get intimidated because they think that conversing is talking and, in my mind, 80% of it is listening. I work a lot with people on how to listen well.”
PKC #5 PRESENTERS: • Tracy Boshard • Lucy DePieri • Veenesh Dubois • John Hadfield • Gordon Harris • Barb Hobson • Junyeup Lee • Mandy-Rae Cruickshank • Sean O’Reilly • Dan Robinson • Christoper Taylor • Lucy Woods As for the art component at The Conversation, Boshard explains its origins: When she came back to Canada, she had planned to start an antique kimono shop; however, there was no customer base, so with the robes she had in stock, Boshard made wall hangings. “I started to rip them apart, which was really horrifying for me because I was cutting up other people’s art,” she recalled. She got a contract to make a wall hanging gift for, ironically, a Japanese supplier of a local corporation and she began to think of opening an art gallery “but the capital that I needed was daunting. I couldn’t make my life purely as an artist so, in the end, I managed to meld my two passions together — conversation and art — so I’m happy.” With members being primarily foreigners, Boshard tends to market The Conversation through Chinese and Korean traditional and online media. And, so far, her business has broken even financially (it also has six volunteers who pop in to help members with their English-language skills). “The vision is working out the way I hope it had,” she said. “People are making friends, sharing stories and learning together.” • PechaKucha Coquitlam Volume 5 — a presentation by ArtsConnect — is on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam).

Rapids school McMath in Red Serge final By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The results indicated the Riverside Rapids had a monopoly on the competition at last weekend’s high-calibre Red Serge Classic senior girls high school volleyball tournament in Port Coquitlam. Rapids head coach Bryan Gee said there was much more to it than simply passing ‘Go.’ “I wouldn’t say we were dominant,” said Gee, despite his secondseeded B.C. AAAA IN QUOTES squad’s 25-15, 25-23 squashing of the top-ranked McMath Wildcats of Richmond in Saturday’s final of the 12th annual, 10-team tournament. Rapids coach Bryan Gee “All of the matches were very competitive and the scores do no necessarily reflect the level of competition for each and every point.” Gee equally downplayed his unit’s 25-13, 25-18 semifinal thumping of the always-formidable Handsworth Royals of North Vancouver, along with its four straight-sets victories in round-robin pool play over squads that included North Delta’s Seaquam Seahawks, the No. 1-ranked B.C. AAA team. “Other teams at this point in the season have some injuries and illnesses, so we really just view this tournament as great practise,” Gee said. “The girls are playing well as one unit right now, working hard to get a little better with every game and practice, [but] by no means are we satisfied with where we are yet. We still have a long way to go. “We did take some time to embrace [the] accomplishment but our team knows that it’s just preparation for the provincials and that the provincials will be the most difficult part of the season where we’ll have to play our absolute best.” Final standings, in order, were Riverside, McMath, Handsworth and Seaquam, followed by a four-way tie for fifth spot (Charles Best, Earl Marriott, Kelowna and Heritage Woods). Pinetree and McRoberts rounded out the finishers. Riverside’s Mallory Sall was chosen tournament MVP, while her teammate, Katie Woo, was named to the all-star team along with Katrina Tolentino (McMath), Tessa Davis (Earl Marriott), Kira Tome (Seaquam), Emily Oxland (Handsworth) and Juliana Kaufmanis (McMath).

Cents fluster Fox in inaugural Lapa Cup clash Centennial rushes past Ravens, 29-0 By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
MARIO BARTEL/BLACK PRESS
Ex-Centennial player Bobby Pospischil of the host SFU Clan stays in bounds versus the Central Washington Wildcats in a NCAA Div. 2 university football game Saturday.
It was billed as the Great Coquitlam Shootout. Only the Terry Fox Ravens brought butter fingers instead of bullets. Centennial Centaurs, on the other hand, utilized plenty of weapons and blasted their way to a 29-0 triumph on frigid Friday night at Percy Perry Stadium over their heated Tri-City rivals in the inaugural Carey Lapa Cup (formerly Coquitlam Cup), named after the former Fox assistant coach who died last January of a sudden heart attack at age 51. The Centaurs controlled play from start to finish in the B.C. AAA senior high school football league clash, limiting the Ravens to a meagre six offensive series the entire game and forcing Fox into committing five turnovers –– two interceptions, one lost fumble and two failed fourth-down gambles. “We knew going in we had to control the clock and the ball and that’s what we did,” said an emotional Centaurs head coach Ryk Piche, who, ironically, was coached by Lapa during his playing days at Centennial. “You could see Fox getting more and more deflated the longer we had the ball. I’m proud of our guys... we physically manhandled them.” The result left both squads with 2-3 marks to wrap up the Eastern Conference regular season
and in a three-way tie for third with Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers in the six-team division. The Ravens, who entered Friday’s tilt polled No. 5 among in the province, now meet the No. 2 W.J. Mouat Hawks of Abbotsford in the first round of playoffs at 8 p.m. Friday at BC Place Stadium, where a good portion of the post-season returns after renovations and the Winter Olympics forced BC High School Football to shift venues the last few campaigns. The Cents square off against the New Westminster Hyacks, also under the dome, at 5 p.m. Saturday. The No. 1 St. Thomas More Knights of Burnaby, the No. 3 Vancouver College Fighting Irish, the No. 4 Mt. Douglas Rams of Victoria and the Kelowna Owls all earned opening-round byes. Cents’ 230-pound fullback Lucas Naso barrelled his way for a team-high 116 rushing yards on 21 carries as Centennial took a page out of the Fox playbook by busting for 256 yards on the ground on 45 carries for a handsome 5.6 per-carry average. The Ravens, on the other hand, were fortunate simply to cross the line of scrimmage, for the most part. “We didn’t come to play,” groused Fox cohead coach Tom Kudaba, whose team won a 21-20 overtime thriller last weekend over Tweedsmuir. “Maybe the kids were resting on their laurels after last week’s win. see NASO LIFTS CENTAURS, page 39

Port Moody Black Panthers scored seven goals Saturday, then surrendered seven Sunday. The see-saw weekend saw the Cats out-gun the Ridge Flames 7-4 at PoMo Rec Complex before getting drilled 7-1 the next day by the host Grandview Steelers. The Pacific Inter national Jr. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey league results left the Cats with a 5-5-4 record. Against 2-12-0 Ridge, Rino Minni rallied the Cats with two goals and one assist, with Julian Klaric, Dylan Friel and Trevor Kang all adding a goal and two helpers apiece. James Benz contributed three assists for the winners, whose other tallies came via Sheldon Vannerus and Shahzil Jivani. Versus Grandview, the 5-5-2-2 Steelers built a 6-0 margin before Friel snapped the shutout with a Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; powerplay goal midway through the third. Grandview out-shot the Cats, 45-20.

Naso told The Tri-City News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always got the ball in our old offence but I always wanted it more. Blocking all the time is a tough job. I know what our offensive linemen go through. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have many good players who are basically unheard of and a very good line. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be tough in the playoffs.â&#x20AC;?
