Worker pay hot topic in Maillardville By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

They promised to revitalize Maillardville with a new community centre, a pedestrian-friendly commercial core and smoother road connections to ease gridlock. They promised to keep residential property taxes low in the face of upcoming labour negotiations with the city union and an uncertain global economy. And, most of all, they promised to do better over the next three years if elected — or re-elected — to Coquitlam city council on civic election day, Saturday. The seventh and final Coquitlam all-candidates’ meeting, hosted by the Maillardville Residents’ Association on Sunday, heard from all 18 contenders seeking council seats.

More election coverage, page 3 The upcoming talks with the civic workers’ union were top of mind for several candidates, with a few of them stating they would take a hard line against CUPE this time to ensure unionized staff don’t again get the 3% and 4% wage hikes (the current contract was signed by the previous council). And despite the recent cyclical reviews at city hall to find cost efficiencies, several candidates also pledged to take hold of “out-of-control” spending to stop property taxes from rising at a rate higher than inflation. see TAXES, S, page g 5

Doggone Lobo finds way home By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

JAMES MACLENNAN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

REMEMBERING, YOUNG AND OLD People of all ages gathered on Shaughnessy Street and at the cenotaph in Port Coquitlam’s Veterans Park to take part in a Remembrance Day ceremony last Friday morning. Hundreds, including cadets and veterans, gathered under cloudy skies. More photos, see page 20.

Lobo isn’t a typical dog, says Port Coquitlam’s Kareen Martel. Fiercely loyal and particularly social, her wolf/ husky mix doesn’t like to be left alone. “He has a real personality,” Martel said. “I always have to get daycare for him or babysitters.” Apparently, Lobo is also a pretty good explorer and seems to know his way around the Lower Mainland. The pooch went missing on Nov. 4 in Burnaby, leaving the Martel family to think their best friend was gone for good. see POOCH FOUND FOUND,, page 15

Points to clarify Following are clarifications from VoteSmart voters’ guides distributed for Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody in the Nov. 11 edition of The Tri-City News: • COQUITLAM: In response to a question regarding keeping taxes down when the civic workers’ collective agreement is due to be re-negotiated, mayoral candidate and city councillor Barrie Lynch stated, in part: “The last three years, under [Mayor] Richard Stewart, we’ve had increases between 3% and 4%.” In fact, the current council, of which Lynch is a member, inherited that labour contract from the previous council, of which both Stewart and Lynch were members. • COQUITLAM: An article about voting requirements incorrectly stated, in part: “An eligible resident elector must be a Canadian citizen, 18 years of age and have lived in B.C. for at least six months and in PoCo for 30 days prior to the election.” Of course, that should have stated “... and in Coquitlam m for 30 days prior to the election.” • PORT MOODY: Due to an editing error, council candidate Nancy Owens’ response to the question “Are you more likely to support cutting services and staff in favour of keeping taxes low” contained an incomplete sentence. Her answer should have read: “I am not in favour of cutting staff or services. However, I am definitely in support of looking at any major inefficiencies that may exist within the city. If there are opportunities to save significant money within the city, without compromising services, I think it would be fiscally irresponsible not to investigate such opportunities. I am not in favour of cuts to emergency services.”

Locals take to web to promote civic voting By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Jon Strocel, founder of TriCityVotes.com, said he hopes his civic election campaign website will teach local voters about the candidates and increase turnout on Nov. 19.

With so many candidates running in Saturday’s civic elections, figuring out whom to vote for is no easy task. Many voters read newspaper coverage of candidates and meetings. Some check out wannabe councillors’, mayors’ and school trustees’ campaign pamphlets. Others may base their votes on simple name recognition. Now, there’s another option as a pair of locals started a website to help. TriCityVotes.com gives information about the candidates and election events, and allows visitors to create a list they can easily print off and take to the voting booth. Jon Strocel, founder of the city and operator of events blog theV3H.com, said the new site is designed to make voting easier.

“Really, it is about increasing turnout,” he told The Tri-City News. “Unless regular families get out there and vote, you are continuously going to have the same people running over and over again.” Strocel added that in 2008 in Coquitlam, for example, only 21.5% of eligible voters cast ballots, a number he would like to see increase. Visitors to TriCityVotes. com can read up on candidates and then click on the people they wish to vote for to add them to their list. While the numbers of visitors to the site is tracked, Strocel said information concerning who picked which candidates is kept private. “It is totally anonymous,” he said. “We don’t keep any of the information. When you choose a candidate, it is all within your browser so we don’t even see it.” So far, the site has garnered

Advance poll numbers up – but don’t get cocky Bigger turnout at early polls may not be a voting trend By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

About 1,000 Tri-City voters cast ballots on the first day of advance polling. But city clerks are cautioning against making any assumptions about this Saturday’s voter turnout based on early voting numbers. Both Coquitlam and Port Moody saw an increase in voter turnout at advance polls last week compared to three years ago but the jump may simply reflect the fact it’s easier to vote before a general election day than it use to be. Prior to 2008, people had to have a specific reason for

How many voted in all? CITY

ELIGIBLE VOTERS

voting in advance, such as being out of town on voting day. Now, they don’t. “I wouldn’t want to speculate on whether this indicates a trend,” PoMo city clerk Colleen Rohde said in an email. In Coquitlam, 583 people voted in the first advance poll, up from 430 in 2008; in Port Coquitlam 217 cast votes on the first day of advance polling, compared to 384 three years previous; and in

’08/’05 VOTER TURNOUT 21.5%/23.3% 28.8%/20% 22.4%/17.5%

Port Moody, 189 people cast votes early, compared to 128 in 2008. Susan Rauh, corporate officer for the city of PoCo, also declined to speculate why voter turnout dropped in the first advance poll compared to three years previous. “I haven’t found the advance polls always reflect the outcome,” Rauh said. In fact, in 2008, PoCo had the highest voter turnout in the Tri-Cities at 28.8%,

yet first-day advance polling numbers showed only a slight increase (382 in 2005 and 384 in 2008). Meanwhile in Anmore, 204 voters or 14.9% of the electorate, turned out to cast their ballots on advance polling day. The village typically has a high voter turnout, about 50% or more, according to KarenAnn Cobb, manager of corporate services. Cobb said in the most recent election and byelection, the voter turnout was about 54% but in 2005, it was 71.6% and in 2002 it was 87%. Coquitlam still has two more early polling days for voters: today (Wednesday) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at PInetree community centre (1260 Pinetree Way) and Friday, Nov. 18 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Poirier community centre (630 Poirier St.). Advance polling has concluded for the other cities.

about 4,000 visitors and 53,000 page views, and has cost Strocel and his partner Dave Zille approximately $1,500 to create. Some of the costs are recouped by advertisements sold on the page but Strocel said the website is far from a profit-making venture. “It is basically a hobby,” he said. “I am certainly not quitting my day job.” The website will remain online up until voting day. Voters can also subscribe to the site in order to get election results sent to their email address when ballots are tallied on Nov. 19. Strocel hopes to keep the website functioning beyond the 2011 civic campaign. TriCityVotes.com, he said, will be revived for upcoming elections and byelections for all levels of government in an effort to keep the online community engaged in local democracy. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Coq. sports group endorses two A Coquitlam sports facility user group is getting involved in local politics by supporting candidates in the upcoming civic election. The Coquitlam Spor t Centre Users Association, made up of hockey, figure skating and lacrosse organizations that operate out of the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, has backed council candidates Craig Hodge and Randy Delmonico.

As well, the group says it has been happy with the current mayor and council. President Chris Wilson said the group sent out questionnaires and interviewed some of the candidates before making a decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All 3,000 [of our members] arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to do what we suggest, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just some guidance to try to make it easy for people,â&#x20AC;? he said. Wilson said it was dif-

ficult to single out any incumbents because all were in favour of adding a vestibule to sports centre. But he said the group has been satisfied with the support of the current council. In the future, the group would like to see a covered lacrosse box built for minor lacrosse games and so spring tryouts could be held locally instead of in Langley. The group would be happy with

Wilson said this is the first time the relatively new group has endorsed candidates in an election and picked Hodge and Delmonico because of their response to a questionnaire, community involvement and experience as coaches. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Taxes a hot topic at meeting continued from front page

A 60-year Coquitlam resident told candidates his taxes have doubled in the last five years; this year, they’re up 23%, he said. Another resident challenged the panel to explain the tax increases, to which Coun. Lou Sekora vowed he would shave $5 million off the annual budget through zero-based budgeting — a non-traditional process where every line item of the budget must be approved and which hasn’t been supported by council. Sekora promised if he can’t find the savings, he’ll resign at the end of the next term. C a n d i d at e Te r r y O’Neill (a Tri-City News columnist currently on leave) also rang the alarm bell about the city’s finances. “Over the past several years, the city has boosted property tax rates to fund ever-higher spending. Public sector wages soared, even as private sector ones stagnated,” he said. Coun. Barrie Lynch, who is running against Richard Stewart for mayor, said red tape at city hall is impeding Coquitlam’s growth and many small businesses

are moving into neighbouring cities “because they’re easier to deal with.” As well, the longoverdue revitalization of Maillardville — the largest francophone community west of Quebec — was also a hot topic at the Maillardville gathering. Candidates cited the tax incentives for commercial landowners (recently passed by council) to spur on business activity while others pointed to the upcoming changes at Mackin Park, the new King Edward Street overpass and plans to rebuild Place Maillardville. Incumbents also offered a few ideas as w ay s t o k i c k - s t a r t Maillardville’s rejuvenation. Coun. Selina Robinson sug g ested street parties and a new BIA while Coun. Doug Macdonell said he favours densifying development around the Hell’s Angels clubhouse on Brunette Avenue “to make it as uncomfortable as we can until they leave.” Coun. Neal Nicholson said Maillardville should be home to non-profit groups and Coun. Linda Reimer said she would

like to see stronger design guidelines for builders that would return Maillardville’s “French charm.” Coun. Mae Reid said she wants to work with Jo h a n n e D u m a s o f Société francophone de Maillardville to see Quebecois residents settle in Maillardville, just as the city pioneers did a century ago to work at Fraser Mills. That way, she argued, the French language could be preserved in the community, a sentiment also echoed by council candidate Andy Shen. Candidate Randy Delmonico compared Maillardville to two Burnabyneighbourhoods recently transformed — The Heights and Edmonds — that have thrived since the city stepped in while candidate Massimo Mandarino used Commercial Drive i n Va n c o u v e r a n d Columbia Street in New Westminster as examples. Craig Hodge, a retired Tri-City News photographer and Coquitlam Heritage Society president, talked about how Maillardville used to be a pedestrian-friendly and distinct community while

restaurateur Fred Soofi called Maillardville “neglected” and suggested the city offer tax breaks to developers who build with French-Canadian architectural characteristics. Candidates Andy Wickey, Araz Rismani and Vincent Wu also suggested strengthening the historic commercial core to make the area more vibrant. Mayor Richard Stewart, who grew up in Maillardville, said the city’s numerous plans for neighbourhood “have failed on implementation” despite extensive community consultation.

4 FOR STEWART

Four Coquitlam councillors announced yesterday they’re backing Mayor Richard Stewart for re-election. According to a press release from Stewart, incumbents Brent Asmundson, Doug Macdonell, Mae Reid and Linda Reimer are supporting the mayor for a second term. Stewart’s mayoral opponent, Coun. Barrie Lynch, has endorsements from councillors Neal Nicholson, Selina Ro b i n s o n a n d L o u Sekora.

Elect Barrie LYNCH as Coquitlam Mayor Barrie Lynch will provide Real leadership on issues. Taxes Property taxes need to be restrained and kept at a reasonable level.

As a certiﬁed association executive (CAE) he understands the need to identify priorities within budget limits. As mayor he will be highly involved in providing stewardship for the process.

Transportation improvements for Coquitlam Coquitlam needs the Evergreen Line now. Growth without transportation improvements is not an appropriate goal.

As mayor Barrie will establish better relationships with our neighbouring municipalities and other levels of government to move these initiatives forward.

Community and regional planning Coquitlam has adopted the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy. The next step is planning the Regional Context Statement which is a means of protecting council’s authority to make local planning decisions.

As mayor Barrie will work with the citizens and the RCMP towards making safer neighbourhoods through a reduction in break and enter and property theft.

Being careless with garbage, food waste could cost $230 By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Amendments to the B.C. Wildlife Act will give conservation officers more clout in cracking down on people who are careless with garbage and other attractants that lure bears to urban neighbourhoods. Under new r ules proposed by Attorney General Shirley Bond, a $230 fine could be levied for mismanagement of food, compost and garbage waste that attracts dangerous wildlife, such as grizzly and black bears, cougars, coyotes and wolves. If approved, the new rules — on top of fines allowed under city bylaws — could make it easier to convince people to change their habits, says Drake Stephens, who was recently named urban wildlife co-ordinator for the city of Coquitlam. The long-time Bear Aware representative said city officials appreciate the support of the province and the help of conservation officers in trying to deal with the issue. Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Anmore saw 13 bears shot for

garbage-related issues this summer, another four bears had to be destroyed because of injuries and accidents — and all because people didn’t look after their garbage, he said. “We’ve been pushing for it,” said Stephens said of tougher provincial laws. “Here in the TriCities, a bear can be in Coquitlam one day and Port Moody the next,” he said, adding that the province needs a consistent approach to manage wildlife attractants, especially in areas where there are no rules. In the Tri-Cities, where problems with bears have been on the increase because of poor natural food crops and urban encroachment, new bylaws and fines have been implemented to regulate garbage set out times and improve management of attractants. These fines range from $50 to $500 depending on the city and the offence but they are rarely given out. Instead, scofflaws are provided with information and warning letters, and told to clean up their act. B.C. Conservation officers can also levy a $575

ing creeks for their last hit of calories. Ste phens said he hopes they fill up on fish and then hibernate but he warns residents not to be careless of their garbage in case a few decide to stick around. Just this week, he received a call about an injured bear cub near Walton Park.

fine if property owners disregard a Dangerous Wildlife Protection Order. But the new fine would provide those officers with more options, Stephens. M e a n wh i l e, l o c a l black bears appear to have heeded nature’s call and have headed deeper into the woods, possibly following salmon spawn-

A Proven Leader and Your Strong Voice On Council! “40 years of public service” RE-ELECT Lou Sekora to Coquitlam Council Lou will put the interests of Coquitlam residents ¿rst and he will ¿ght for you as he has always done! Taxes, Taxes and More Taxes!

This continual “tax gouging” must stop! Lou has voiced this concern to current and past Mayors and Council members but still taxes have increased for residents and businesses annually. We must return to a 0-based budget in order to stop these high tax increases. The budget needs to be prepared by May 15, after the surplus in each department is known (end of March) and what the property assessments are coming in at (January 15). Then the budget can be set. There was a $3.4 million surplus in an account that should have been deferred to the budget and could have been allocated towards a new ¿re hall in Northeast Coquitlam or to Maillardville Community Centre. Instead,

Mayor and Council spent the money on items not in the current budget. This process is Àawed and needs to be changed.

Austin Heights

Lou supports the revitalization of Austin Heights but with the input and approval from residents. When re-elected, Lou will continue to be their strong voice on Council.

Municipal Auditor General

Lou fully supports the appointment of a Municipal Auditor General. This has been a long time coming.

Transportation

Lou knows we need rapid transit or skytrain to Coquitlam but at what expense! The money should come from provincial carbon taxes and federal gas taxes. Let’s get all the facts before any approval is given. No more surprises!

Place Maillardville

Before the last civic election, the Mayor and Council

promised this building would be replaced. After spending $120,000.00 of taxpayers money on a review of this project the drawings are gathering dust as we move into yet another election. It’s been on the books for a long time but not on the Council Agenda. When Lou is reelected he will make this a priority.

Westwood Plateau Golf Course

Lou believes this public golf course should remain the way residents wanted it. It was there when they bought their homes and it should stay this way.

Colony Farms

Lou does not support the commercialization of Colony Farms. The land that is available should be set up for local residents to grow their own gardens with fresh vegetables and fruit.

Vote carefully T

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

hey’ve been lightly grilled at all candidates meetings, roasted on the doorstep and on Saturday, more than 60 candidates will be served up to Tri-City voters on a silver platter. It will be a daunting task for voters to choose from the menu on offer in this year’s civic elections. The trick is to know what you’re getting for your vote and to choose only the best. If that means being a picky eater at the smorgasbord, so be it. First, don’t let your eyes be bigger than your stomach. Don’t try to fill out the ballot out of obligation. Do read everything you can about the candidates and match their issues with yours. Democracy is best serve to the discriminating palate. All the candidates on the ballot have attempted to put their best foot forward and all say they can do the tough job of budgeting, making decisions about garbage and planning for development. But can they? It’s the voters’ job to figure out who has the ingredients to run a city well. Who works well with others? Who will stand up for city rights when the Evergreen Line rolls in? Who will chart the course of the region for the next three years? Those are questions you need to ask yourself on — even better, before — election day. Don’t go for the easy choice — the name you recognize or the fresh face you see in an election brochure who you never heard of before. Do your homework to find those candidates who have worked behind the scenes to gain a good knowledge of the city and how it works. Think twice before choosing candidates who only show up on election day or who have been warming a seat at the council or school board table for years unless you truly believe they are up to the job. It’s up to voters to make the distinction between the has-beens, also-rans and naive newbies, and many groups and organizations, including The Tri-City News, have tried to make it easy for voters by putting together menus and lists for voters to savour. Knowledge is power and the more you know, the better you will be at choosing the best candidate for the job.

Stop ignoring local gov’t – occupy voting booths BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he red-headed stepchild of democracy is shivering on the doorstep again. Most won’t open the door. Local government elections are always overshadowed by louder events and this year is no different. The “occupy” nonsense, the teachers’ strike, the precarious economy and the media’s fixation on them are part of the problem. But let’s face it, public indifference to local government has left it mainly to self-serving politicians and special interest groups. Community newspapers soldier on through the three years between elections to highlight issues and choices but few people join the debate when it’s time to vote. The recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention demonstrated this. Local politicians love to tell senior governments what to do. They would much rather debate smart

meters or bad old Ottawa’s RCMP costs than talk about their own performance. Most of the mayors and councillors on hand were unhappy with the province’s plan to appoint a municipal auditor-general to examine the efficiency of municipal spending. Just another layer of bureaucracy, according to these experts on the subject. At the convention, I asked NDP MLA Carole James about this. A veteran of local government, she observed that it would be awkward for local politicians to go back to their communities and campaign against accountability. There is much that is not discussed and it goes beyond technical details such as performance auditing. How about amalgamation in places where there are clearly too many municipal boundaries, policing is fragmented and administration is duplicated? You won’t hear much about that, unless a lot more voters insist on it. Business groups and community newspapers raise it and it fades away. Not enough people care. Few challengers and even fewer in-

cumbent politicians signed the taxpayers’ pledge offered up at local election time by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. It’s a modest proposal to match spending growth with real growth. Candidates don’t want to talk about the fact that B.C. municipal spending, adjusted for inflation, is now growing almost four times as fast as population growth. Pay and benefits for municipal employees grow much faster than do private sector rates. Not enough people care. The Canadian Union of Public Employees is campaigning against contracted private development of water utilities. It prefers its high-cost monopoly. And outside its special interest support, not enough people care. School board elections have become even more of an insider activity. To take one example, a school trustee candidate forum in Abbotsford last week started with a protest march by 18 teachers. They carried their message inside, demanding smaller classes, more special needs support, the familiar list of

demands in their dysfunctional relationship with the province-wide bargaining agent. Of course, school trustees have no actual authority over these huge and costly issues. The province took away school board taxing authority long ago because the teacher and support staff unions have the money and voting numbers to control low-turnout local elections for their own benefit. Now, the unions have to settle for vetting candidates according to their willingness to lobby the B.C. government on behalf of unions. There are still things you can do to compare candidates and it doesn’t take long to sort through a dozen or two hopefuls. Please, check this paper’s website for recent surveys and stories on the local candidates, and take some time on Saturday to back the people who you think have the best experience, independence and understanding of the community’s needs. Occupy the voting booth. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and bclocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

TRI-CITYY LETTERS PoMo reports come up short

The Editor, Since The Tri-City Newss published my previous letter (“Has province’s charter failed?,” Oct. 5), I’ve discovered the annual report issued by the city of Port Moody does not comply to the basic requirements of public accountability required by the Community Charter. The reporting by Port Moody fails to provide the public with the measurement criteria (metrics) used to evaluate the objectives. Instead of the public being able to review the city’s shortcomings in the annual report, a nice, rosy picture is painted with a list of things done and a broad list of things to do. Since 2004, Section 98 of the Community Charter requires that certain information must be included in the report for public review. This includes the specific objectives and the metrics by which the city of Port Moody will be accountable. Is it this lack of accountability that has raised the need for a discussion about having a municipal auditor general? The Community Charter annual reporting requirements are clear. The city must provide citizens with the previous year’s performance and what is planned for the upcoming year by June 30 each year, and not just a list of things to do and/or done. Why is accountability to the taxpayer taking a back seat to the time and resources of city staff preparing award program entry forms for financial reporting recognition from the Government Finance Officers Association? Surely transparency is more important than recognition? Perhaps it’s time for a wake-up call to whomever has been asleep at the wheel. John Grasty, Port Moody

What about wards? The Editor, A letter to Port Moody mayoralty candidates: Recently, the city of Port Moody advertised in community newspapers for volunteer applicants for a number of city committees. For several of the committees, quotas are set for appointees from each of five neighbourhoods of Port Moody. On the other hand, city councillors are elected at large. There appears to be a double standard here. There are 20 candidates running in the 2011 campaign for six seats on council. If we had four candidates running in five wards, then voters might take greater interest in participating in the civic election; candidates would have lower campaign costs; and citizens would know their ward’s councillor was looking after the residents’ interests and issues. If you are elected mayor of the City of Port Moody on November 19th, would you consider, say, establishing a committee to look at the pros and cons of establishing wards for the 2014 civic election? Derek Wilson, Port Moody

Driver sought

Coquitlam Mounties are looking for a driver who fled the scene after a vehicle flipped over the centre median on Clarke Road and caught fire early Saturday morning. The incident happened shortly after 4 a.m. on Nov. 12 after a Chevrolet Cavalier travelling north on North Road failed to negotiate the corner in the 500block of Clarke Road. Fire and emergency crews were called to the accident location but the vehicle’s occupants had already left the area by the time police arrived. The blaze was quickly extinguished by firefighters and traffic was temporarily diverted. RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said police do not believe anyone was hurt in the crash. “Apparently, they ran away so I guess they were healthy enough to do that,” said Chung. “Usually in a case like this, we would pay a visit to the registered owner and ask who was driving the vehicle at the time.” Witnesses are encouraged to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604945-1550 and quote file number 2011-31853.

However Richard was able to convince the other mayors of Metro Vancouver to support the Evergreen Line. He delivered. It was a promise that was made decades ago, and now thanks to Richard, we’re going to see it happen. ” - Andy Shen, Coquitlam city council candidate “Richard, you are an amazing networker, both on-line and in person! Your willingness to communicate on issues, your dedication to our Tri-Cities communities, your advocacy for your city and individuals within it...these are just some of the qualities I have come to appreciate over the last few years.” - Elaine Willis, Community Advocate & Candidate, Anmore Council “Mayor Stewart has shown real leadership at the regional level. He played a key role in breaking the logjam on the long-awaited Evergreen Line, and on several other important regional files. A skilled negotiator and communicator, Richard’s leadership has helped raise Coquitlam’s influence across Metro Vancouver.” – Peter Fassbender, Langley Mayor

“Mayor Stewart has a very clear and well-articulated vision for his community and the Region, and a problem-solving approach that is fact-based and decisive. Richard carries much respect around the Metro table, and I know that Coquitlam residents are benefitting from the improved relationships and better dialogue that he has brought to the region and the province.” - Catherine Ferguson, White Rock Mayor “I believe in Mayor Stewart because he gets people engaged, and brings the diverse communities of Coquitlam together.

Pooch found way to PoCo continued from front page

Nine days later, however, Lobo showed up outside their front door — in PoCo’s Mary Hill neighbourhood. “ To g o f o r n i n e whole days,” Martel said. “What did he eat? Where did he sleep? I have no idea and we’ll never know. Only he knows.” Martel had sent Lobo with a friend of hers that Friday morning so the dog would have someone to keep it company but it must have jumped out of the truck when they stopped at a job site at Sprott Street and Canada Way in Burnaby.

When her friend got back to Martel’s house that afternoon, he realized Lobo wasn’t in the truck anymore. “He went back to look for him but couldn’t find Lobo anywhere,” Martel said. She alerted the SPCA and posted a lost dog ad on Craigslist; four days later, she got a call from someone on Braid Street in New Westminster saying Lobo had just been sighted. “People were seeing him but couldn’t catch him because he wouldn’t go to anybody.” Another call came Sunday, this time from Colony Farm, and the Martels rushed over

IN QUOTES

“What did he eat? Where did he sleep? I have no idea and we’ll never know.” Kareen Martel to scour the park, calling Lobo’s name over and over again — but they went home empty handed. Monday, Martel got up at 6 a.m. and started getting ready for the day when she heard a familiar whimpering sound. She opened the door and sitting outside was Lobo.

ELECT TERRY O’NEILL

TO COQUITLAM COUNCIL NOV. 19

“He came in and smelled every inch of the house, checked out all the kids,” Martel said. But apart from Lobo being very skinny and rather smelly — he’d clearly found some fish along his mysterious journey — the dog appeared to be fine. Martel said she’d been considering adopting him out to a farm because she didn’t feel right shuffling it around to different dogsitters all the time, and she wanted something better for Lobo. “It doesn’t matter now, though,” she said. “Clearly, he thinks we’re awesome.” spayne@tricitynews.com

ANMORE

RE-ELECT

Incumbents denoted by a bullet [•] before the name

ronmental stewardship; managed development; bylaw review and enforcement; safety and security; and supporting volunteers.

FOR MAYOR • Heather Anderson

Age: 45 Number of years living in Anmore: 42 Number of years on council: 15 as councillor, 18 months as mayor Occupation: social studies teacher at Dr. Charles Best secondary school Civic committees and community volunteer work: chair of the board of variance, environment, parks, emergency preparedness, protective services, youth and daycare committees; Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department trustee for 12 years; director on Anmore’s Youth and Community Non-Profit Society

What makes you stand out from other candidates? From the more than 16 years of being on Anmore council, I have a strong understanding of the issues facing our village and how to move forward to create the community Anmore residents want in the future.

What do you believe are the major issues facing Anmore? Development and financial sustainability are always important issues in Anmore. We also need to establish a composting program to divert green waste from our garbage to comply with Metro Vancouver’s regulation in 2012.

Mario Piamonte

Age: did not answer Number of years living in Anmore: 11 Number of years on council: 3 as councillor Occupation: council from 2008 to present; 30 years management in the federal public service (retired) Civic committees and community volunteer work: co-chair of the emergency preparedness working group, community security, protective services, public works and transportation, and finance committees; co-chair of the middle school working group; member of the daycare working group; 10-year veteran on the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department

What makes you stand out from other candidates? One issue that has not been addressed by all candidates and one that I feel is extremely important is that of openness and transparency in government. I want to encourage citizen engagement in committees and council meetings, welcome questions and ideas from residents, ensure residents are not only heard but also listened to, and ensure everyone involved or affected gets all the facts and has a say.

What do you believe are the major issues facing Anmore?

Glenn Pollock

FOR VILLAGE COUNCIL Larryy Barron

Age: 55 Number of years living in Anmore: 10 Occupation: lawyer Civic committees and community volunteer work: Anmore board of variance

for Port Coquitlam City Council

What makes you stand out from other candidates? Governance is essentially the process of turning policy into law. The ability to apply my legal training to a study of Anmore council meeting minutes going back through 2004, which I did over the last two years, and knowledge of the municipal, provincial and federal laws which apply to the village of Anmore gives me a breadth of background not enjoyed by the other candidates. And my experience as a trial lawyer will be very useful in dealing with lawsuits facing the village.

What do you believe are the major issues facing Anmore? Rescind the secrecy provision in the council procedure bylaw; revise the noise bylaw to allow for maximum $1,000 fines rather than the current $100 fines for off-hour construction noise caused by developers, contractors and large trucks; introduce a development permit process to allow the village to maintain tighter control over development in environmentally and aesthetically sensitive areas, particularly steep-slope construction zones; review and stabilize village finances by planning for the long term rather than lurching from emergency to emergency; and initiate a consultation process with villagers and senior government to investigate, plan and maximize funding sources for a new village hall and community centre.

I am a dedicated volunteer in our community with the ability to work cooperatively and progressively with a variety of people on issues that are important to the residents of Anmore. I will work to address issues in a responsible and forward-moving manner with results that our whole village can be proud of.

What do you believe are the major issues facing Anmore? The village of Anmore has some unique challenges because of its small size and semi-rural character. In particular, we have a small tax base and our council needs to work hard to ensure we are addressing a basic level of services within the village while taking care of long-term planning and infrastructure needs. Residents are wanting attention to environmental protection, fiscal accountability and community planning.

Merci / Thank You Gilles

Growth As Chair of Land Use & Economic Development these past few years I have been very busy. Burke Mountain is moving ahead with a winning selection of housing. We asked for the “WOW” factor and are getting some innovation in design. Austin Heights is on its way, thanks to the persistence of the BIA and residents. One new building is on the books and others are coming forward to re-invigorate the area. Burquitlam is getting a new facelift as well, with Skytrain ﬁnally on its way! This term I hope we will see the start of the Waterfront development on the Fraser River and that the French Village in Maillardville will make some leaps forward with the Tax Incentives offered to Developers for the area. All in all this term we hopefully will see housing options for everyone from Waterfront to Mountain top and everything in between!

Core Services, Police & Fire When we discuss Public Safety, it does not just mean Police & Fire. It also means safe roads and intersections and quality underground services. Unfortunately this year our Metro Van costs for water have increased by 7% and sewer by 4% further adding to our tax burden. We are also in the middle of negotiations with the RCMP through the Provincial and Federal governments. There has to be an acknowledgement as to what we as taxpayers can afford to pay and what the demands by the RCMP are with respect to their budgets. Our new ﬁre station for the northeast is in the planning stages now and we hope to see a shovel in the ground within this next term.

Taxes & Fiscal Responsibility Planning our community’s ﬁnancial future is a huge challenge. Issues such as growth, transportation, infrastructure, roads and the environment need to be tackled with the ever present knowledge that we are taxed to the limit. Our business taxes are amongst the highest in the Province. This is unacceptable. We are very limited by legislation as to how we raise revenues. The Municipal Auditor General could be a good idea provided that this watchdog can “bark” both ways. If they are interested in monitoring the ways we do business - all our processes, not just ﬁnancial - they also need to be able to comment on the responsibilities being downloaded to the City that we do not have funds for.

Environment & Riverview Lands My friends, the Riverview lands are our heritage site. We have an irreplaceable arboretum with a tree collection valued at well over $50 million dollars. We need to keep these lands intact for health services, mental wellness, research and education. This would provide a wealth of jobs and education. Our citizens are demanding that the environment takes precedence in all our planning and development. Although we are not perfect, we have come a long way toward respecting our water courses, ﬁsh habitat, and green spaces more than ever before, and we must continue to do so ... especially in light of new pressures on our Colony Farm lands.

The community plan is up for amending to ensure that Anmore retains its semi-rural setting.

PoCo candidates named on slate By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Vo t e r s i n P o r t Coquitlam will notice the title of an elector organization next to the names of two candidates on their civic election ballots Saturday. Council candidate Eric Hirvonen and mayoral candidate William Issa will both be listed as part of the Canadian Fire Safety Corporation, a company started by Hirvonen. Council candidate Darin Nielsen was initially a part of the elector organization but removed himself shortly after filing his nomination papers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not really a political group,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Rauh, the chief election officer in Port Coquitlam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, they have candidates but it is an actual company that Eric Hirvonen has and he has signed a declaration saying it is an elector organization.â&#x20AC;? In order to be eligible, an elector organization must have at least 50 members and have been in existence for longer than 60 days immediately before the declaration. One of the benefits of being involved with an organization is that it offers up fundraising and membership support, Rauh said. Candidates involved with the Canadian Fire Safety Corporation will also have to file their individual election financial statements along

with those of the organization. Issa has told The Tri-City News that the Canadian Fire Safety Corporation is not a slate. He said the organization offered its endorsement of his candidacy and he accepted it at the beginning of the campaign. A call to Eric Hirvonen yesterday was not returned by deadline.

Public say sought on city plan Connecting with residents key By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam councillors say they want to take a page from the planning around the controversial Austin Heights neighbourhood before they re-start the City Centre Area Plan. At Monday’s land use committee meeting, some council members acknowledged the recent consultation to redevelop the Austin corridor with highrises didn’t hit home with all residents. As a result, they want

the public feedback to improve before Phase 2 of the City Centre Area Plan begins — especially with the Evergreen Line set to be built down Pinetree Way. Among the non-traditional methods staff are suggesting are the use of more innovative tools such as social media and interactive kiosks rather than advisory groups, open houses and print advertising. “Starting a process of this magnitude should include all the community,” said Coun. Mae Reid, the land use committee chair, adding issues such as noise levels from the Evergreen Line as well as future eateries

in the downtown core (north of Coquitlam Centre mall) need to be hashed out soon as bidders are now lining up to build the rapid transit line to the City Centre region. Construction on the province’s $1.4-billion Evergreen Line from Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby and ending at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park is expected to start next summer. Phase 2 of the City Centre Area Plan is expected to begin in the new year and last up to 16 months; it will be accompanied by servicing strategy and street design standards policies. Last month, city

council received dozens of letters from City Centre highrise residents who complained about the latenight noise generated by a local restaurant that had applied to the city and provincial government to extend its hours of operation. It was successful as councillors said the city’s aim is to create a “vibrant” downtown core, close to rapid transit. City Centre includes the general area from Barnet Highway north to David Avenue, and between the Port Moody and Port Coquitlam borders. jwarren@tricitynews.com

A new — and likely tolled — Pattullo Bridge won’t open before 2018 at the earliest, according to internal TransLink estimates. That timeline calling for procurement in 2013 and a construction start in 2015 is contained

in reports obtained by Black Press under Freedom of Information and amounts to a threeyear delay for the project. But even those dates are starting to look doubtful because TransLink is now more than a year behind schedule in launching a promised round of public consultations on the new bridge’s design. The delay is largely due to months of

w r a n g l i n g b e t we e n TransLink officials, who insist a new bridge is needed, and the province’s transportation ministry, which argued as recently as last spring to instead refurbish the existing 74-year-old bridge to save money and avoid the need for tolls. TransLink spokesperson Erin Der mer said outreach sessions are being planned by the end of this year to

RE-ELECT MAYOR

RICHARD STEWART Leadership in . . .

Better Cost Control During Richard Stewart’s 3-year term as Mayor, our City has gained better control of its costs, resulting in savings to taxpayers. • Construction Costs. Richard decided to run for Mayor after the Chimo Pool project went $6 million over budget. Through better systems of cost control and construction expertise, the next project – the Poirier Sports Center – was ¿nished a year ahead of schedule and $10 million underr budget. • Operating Costs. A new system of cyclical review – the zero-based examination of each department – has saved millions and created more ef¿cient government.

• Project Costs. Through creative partnerships, Richard and his Council avoided the $30 – 40 million projected cost that had prevented construction of our much-needed Town Centre Library. Through the purchase of an existing building for one-quarter the cost, the new stateof-the-art library will open this coming year. • Labour Costs. Richard has never accepted campaign contributions from the Unions with whom he must negotiate. As the current CUPE contract expires (a 5-year contract which gave a 20% wage increase), Richard pledges that the next agreement will respect taxpayers.

“We need to keep Richard’s decision-making ability in the Mayor’s ofÀce. This is a great community, and Richard has what it takes to lead this community forward.”

- Lou Passaglia, BC Lions Football and longtime Coquitlam resident. Richard has tremendous respect for the taxpayer. He commits to continued vigilance on costs, and has proven he has the skills to do it. Let’s keep him working for Coquitlam. Re-Elect Mayor Richard Stewart!

Fl i

— dozens of short anecdotes casually grouped under broad headings such as Notes from Home, Notes from the Road and Notes to Self. This collection meanders gently from the reflections of a palm tree owner to the poignancy of a Pink Pearl eraser to a miracle at Niagara Falls. For doubting McLean fans who insist that his stories must be listened to, rest assured that McLean’s voice comes through loud and clear in his writing. As the days shortened in autumn, I picked up The Night Train by Clyde Edgerton, a bittersweet yet still uncompromisingly hopeful novel set against the racial inequalities of the American South in the 1960s: 16-year-old Larry Lime, longing to play jazz like his idol Thelonious Monk, seeks out a mentor in a jazz pianist called The Bleeder. Larry’s friend Dwayne likewise has musical aspirations — to memorize James Brown’s LP “Live at the Apollo” word for word, note for note. Despite their shared passion for music and unspoken bond, Larry and Dwayne must search separately for their musical expression. Next up on the bedside table? Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers: The Story of Success. I’m only in the first chapter and already it’s a good read. Check at your local library for books to accompany you through the seasons. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Pat Dawson is library manager at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

TOPICS: • How your executor can save time and money on estate settlement fees • Pros and cons of joint ownership • What is probate? • Wills and power of attorney • Cremation and burial pre-planning • And much, much more

n a journal that makes the rounds of library staff, I especially enjoy reading the biographical paragraph that accompanies each article. The journal writers include in their short personal description the titles of books that are sitting on their bedside tables. This got me thinking about my own bedside table’s year in review. My 2011 began with Alan Weisman’s mindexpanding, beautifully written The World Without Us, an exploration of our world after the last human disappears. Weisman un-builds our homes before our eyes. He corrodes our bridges, topples our cities, follows seeds and weeds and flora and fauna that flourish unrestricted as nature disassembles what humans have built. Gloomy? Yes and no. Weisman’s natural history lessons force us to accept our impact on the planet but the same lessons instil optimistic wonder at the ability of nature to heal. I then dove straight into Annie Leonard’s The Story of Stuff, f a book that grew from the author’s internet film of the same name. Leonard holds a spotlight on our voracious consumer appetites, tracking the life cycle of our everyday stuff. She slaps our wrists, yes, and just when you want to shout, “So what can I do?” she points the reader to signs of progress and viable alternatives. Your t-shirt will never look the same. As spring rolled around, I looked for some literary colour to complement the season. Alexander McCall Smith’s Corduroy Mansions hit the mark. Fans of McCall Smith’s 44 Scotland Street series will feel right at home in their new digs, a comfortable, if somewhat shabby, London residence populated with the quirky characters only McCall Smith can summon. Dog lovers who found a friend in Cyril of Scotland Street won’t be disappointed by Corduroy Mansions’ resident canine, Freddy de la Hay, a Pimlico terrier who loyally provides his doggy perspective on the strange world of humans. At the beginning of summer, Stuart McLean’s The Vinyl Café Notebooks caught my eye as a pleasant read for the holidays

RE-ELECT MAYOR

RICHARD STEWART

Leadership Three years ago, Richard ran on a simple platform – “Respectful Leadership for Coquitlam”. In these three years, he has demonstrated that respectful leadership. • Consensus on Council – more unanimous votes (and even unanimous meetings), greater communication and respect on Council and with the voters. • Building Community consensus – Especially on contentious issues like our Homeless Shelter, Richard’s respectful approach steered a cautious way through potentially divisive issues, producing results that bene¿t our entire community.

KEVIN KIEZ PHOTOS

TRIBUTE TO VETS IN POMO

• Engaging community – the new webcast of all Council meetings and Public Hearings helps citizens follow the important work of Council – and increases accountability. But that’s only one of the tools that has helped re-engage citizens in the processes of the city, and helped build stronger plans and neighbourhoods • Represents ALL of Coquitlam, not just a special interest group or union.

The firing of a cannon salute was part of the Remembrance Day ceremony to honour Canada’s war veterans last Friday in Port Moody.

Leadership that’s not just respectful, but RESPECTED.

Naked for a cause PoCo crew loses a bet and poses

By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It took courage and guts, and now the naked Birds of McAllister are pin-up girls for 2012. A calendar called the Birds of McAllister featuring photographs of tastefully posed older women — all clients of the Curves fitness centre on McAllister Avenue in Port Coquitlam — has been published to great reviews. Kim Blake, the Curves manager who is also featured in the photo for the month of May, said people are happy with the results. Photographer Lynn Pepin of Classic White Photography donated her services for the fundraising project and spent a great deal of time posing people so they would be comfortable and yet still look

beautiful and powerful. The photos show women, mostly naked except for a few props and Blake admitted she was a little uncomfortable doing the photo shoot at first. “I thought, ‘What the heck am I doing?’” she said. “We are all moms and grandmothers,” Blake said of the participants, who range in age from 46 to 73. “We don’t want to be embarrassed. But the women, who got their hair and makeup done for the shoot, eventually relaxed, said Jennifer Deby, who is also in the calendar and added, “We had a lot of fun.” Some of the photos have a health theme to them, with photos of a woman who had heart surgery and another of three women who had breast cancer wound together with a pink ribbon. “Since we’ve put it out, it’s been pretty posi-

tive,” said Blake, noting dozens of people were expected to come out for the launch at Samz Pub on Sunday. The idea came out of a bet with a Port Alberni Curves location to see which outlet could raise the most food in a drive last April. PoCo’s curves lost by 107 lb. “In the end,” Blake said, “I think we won.” • Proceeds from the $10 calendars go to Tri-City Transitions and to an after-school club for girls six to 12 years. The calendars are available at Curves at 2239D McAllister Ave., Port Coquitlam. Information is available at 604-944-1303. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Share Family and Community Services’ alcohol and drug program is hosting a drop-in education series. The program is open to everyone and offers important information for those who have an alcohol or drug problem, or for those concerned about their use.

There is no cost for this group, whose format consists of a video, a brief presentation and open discussion. Topics vary from week to week and upcoming sessions are outlined below, including one tonight (Wednesday): • Nov. 16: Mental Illness, depression and addiction — many people have a substance problem and are coping with mental issues. Understanding the links between the two issues will be the session’s goal. • Nov. 23: Substance affected — how others’ misuse or abuse of alcohol and drugs affects us and how to help others. • Nov. 30: Stage 2 Recovery — life in the future.

Don’t put Coquitlam’s CUPE Union on both sides of the bargaining table. The CUPE Union representing Coquitlam’s employees is once again endorsing a slate of CUPEfriendly candidates. The last time we had a CUPE Union-dominated Mayor and Council (five years ago), union employees received almost a 20% wage increase over five years (about 4% increase per year). Coquitlam taxpayers didn’t receive a 20% wage increase; during the current recession, that kind of increase is completely unaffordable. This year, the five-year contract is up for renegotiation, so CUPE is working harder than ever to elect a CUPE slate of candidates. These are tough economic times, and Coquitlam residents can’t afford another rich Union agreement negotiated by a Union-funded slate of Council.

This year we can’t afford to elect a CUPE Union slate We need an INDEPENDENT Council that will represent ALL Coquitlam residents, and negotiate a contract that’s fair to taxpayers. The following independent candidates are NOT funded by the Unions they have to negotiate with, NOT funded by CUPE. These independent candidates have committed to negotiating a contract with our employees that is fair to our workers AND FAIR TO TAXPAYERS.

Vote for an Independent Council! For Mayor: Richard Stewart * For Council: Brent Asmundson * Doug Macdonell * Terry O’Neill Andy Shen

Mae Reid * Linda Reimer * Araz Rismani Andy Wickey *Incumbent

VOTE FOR MORE BUSES NOW IN THE NOVEMBER 19 MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS! The following mayoralty candidates support More Buses Now and increased, sustainable funding of Translink. They all said"yes" to this question: Do you support increasing funding of public transit in Metro Vancouver beyond inflationary increases in order to provide the sustainable funding levels needed to expand the system and restore adequate bus service? Yes or No?

s VANCOUVER

Mayor Gregor Robertson

s SURREY

Mayor Dianne Watts

Support Metro Vancouver Mayors and Councilors who will improve TransLink bus service and public transit with sustainable funding Metro Vancouver voters have a clear choice in the November 19 municipal elections — they can send a message to the provincial government and TransLink by electing Mayors and Councilors who support better public transit through sustainable funding. Do you agree or disagree that improvements should be made in Metro Vancouver's bus and SkyTrain service?

Poll conducted by Angus Reid Public Opinion for CAW Local 111 September 20-23, 2011

Candidates James Crosty and Vance McFadyen

Metro Vancouver wants More Buses Now, more Night Bus service, longer SkyTrain hours and more SeaBus sailings — that’s what recent public opinion polling shows.

s PORT MOODY

Candidate Mike Clay

85% of those polled want significant improvements made to TransLink’s bus and SkyTrain service, with 48% strongly in favour.

s WHITE ROCK

That’s because Metro Vancouver bus service levels are inadequate — leading to ongoing pass ups of riders due to full buses, overcrowding and poor service despite high fares.

Candidates Larry Anschell and Lynne Sinclair

s MAPLE RIDGE

Candidates Christian Cowley and J. Craig Ruthven

s RICHMOND

Candidate Richard Lee

An Angus Reid Public Opinion poll conducted for Canadian Auto Workers Local 111, the union representing TransLink bus drivers, is clear — Metro Vancouver wants more service. And for good reason — Montreal and Toronto have service every 10 minutes or less on 58% of their bus runs, while Metro Vancouver only has 10 minute service on 26% of its bus runs. That’s because Metro Vancouver is between 500 and 800 buses short of the number needed to provide adequate service.

s LANGLEY TOWNSHIP

Candidate Mel Kositsky K

And 87% of Metro Vancouver residents want better Night Bus service and longer SkyTrain hours because tough new drinking and driving laws have made it even more important to get a safe ride home.

Full answers of all candidates who responded, including yes, no and other, available at:

TransLink needs sustainable funding beyond inflationary increases to provide riders with the bus service they deserve — ask your candidates for Mayor and Council if they support sustainable funding — and make your vote count on November 19.

JAMES MACLENNAN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Grade 11 Riverside secondary student Jesse Kazemir, 16, who has a hearing loss, will perform with the North Shore Celtic Ensemble at the Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam on Saturday night.

Hearing loss no match for fiddler By Janis Warren

IN QUOTES

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

“It’s so fun to play because you don’t have to have perfect technique. You can make stuff up as you go along.”

esse Kazemir loves music. Celtic music, especially. The 16-year-old Port Coquitlam fiddler has a fondness for its carefree sound. “It’s so fun to play,” he said, “because you don’t have to have perfect technique. You can make stuff up as you go along.” Kazemir picked up the fiddle at 12, after a year of classical piano, and soon joined the North Shore Celtic Ensemble (NSCE) as a junior member. Twice a week, his mother, Teresa, drove him to North Vancouver for practices, and she continues to do so now that he’s part of the senior ensemble. Still, the fiddle isn’t the only instrument the Grade 11 Riverside secondary student loves. He also plays the guitar and hand drum. As well, he has composed a short Celtic tune called Out of the Blue, which will be one of three songs penned by NSCE students that will be featured at the group’s upcoming winter concert in Port Coquitlam on Saturday — civic election night — at Terry Fox Theatre. Kazemir’s musical accomplishments are impressive for any teen. But he’s just not any teen. Kazemir was born without openings in both of his ears, a condition known as aural atresia that affects one in 20,000 babies a year in Canada (though most of them have one canal opening).

Jesse Kazemir SUBMITTED PHOTO

The North Shore Celtic Ensemble performs at North Vancouver’s Centennial Theatre in 2010. As a result, Kazemir relies on hearing devices called BAHAs, or bone-anchored hearing aids, as he has a 60 to 70 decibel loss, his mother said. Teresa Kazemir, who, ironically, was a trained speech pathologist before she had Jesse, said her boy has had hearing aids since he was two months old. At eight, he had his first surgery to install a BAHA in one ear, and implant a titanium screw and abutment. A second operation for the other ear came two years ago. To talk to him, you would never know he has a hearing loss until he pulls back his longish hair to show the devices. And he can hear perfectly well, too, in most situations. Where it’s noticeable is when he’s in a crowd: the school cafeteria or hallway, a loud show, for example.

“I sometimes can’t hear someone because of all the background noise,” he said. As for his classes, the honour roll student offers a mini microphone to the teacher before each session starts, of which the personal FM system transmits wirelessly to his BAHA at five decibels louder. Sometimes, he can tell when his BAHAs are off. For example, when the batteries are fading or there is moisture in the devices, it can affect the sound quality. Kazemir also takes care when playing sports so the aids don’t knock off or get damaged. Other than that, Kazemir said he’s “just like any other teenager.... The hearing loss is sort of a part of me now and, if I had the chance, I don’t think I would get rid of it.” NSCE director Jay Knutson called Kazemir’s musical talents “remarkable. He has been a leader and an inspiration for the members of the North Shore Celtic Ensemble. “Jesse’s hearing impairment has never been a musical obstacle for him. He applies

his natural abilities and strong work ethic to something he truly loves. The result is one of the finest young musicians I’ve had the pleasure of working with. It’s a joy having him in this group,” Knutson said. These days, Kazemir is a role model in the hearing-impaired community, talking to B.C. families about how a hearing-loss child can lead an independent life. And he plans to accompany the NSCE to Quebec for concerts next year, just as he did last year when it toured Scotland for the Aberdeen International Youth Festival. Asked about his plans after graduation, Kazemir responds, “I want to go to college or university to study applied sciences. And keep music as a hobby.” • Tickets are $15/$10 for Transformations, North Shore Celtic Ensemble’s winter concert at Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate, PoCo) at 7:30 p.m., and are available at the box office or through www.nsce.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

ABOUT NSCE

Led by artistic directors Claude Giguere and Jay Knutson, a founding member of Spirit of the West, the North Shore Celtic Ensemble is a non-profit society started in 1999, where young musicians perform original West Coast Celtic tunes. Its senior ensemble, of which Jesse Kazemir is a member, consists of 22 students from North Vancouver, Langley, Maple Ridge, Burnaby, Vancouver and Port Coquitlam.

ECC goes surreal By Sarah Payne

www.tricitynews.com

Welcome Jackie Internet Specialist/Product Consultant

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Gregg Simpson isn’t one for standing around. The Bowen Island artist, who has received critical acclaim on the national and international art scene for more than 40 years, was at the Evergreen Cultural Centre Monday and in a rush to unload his large-scale paintings for his upcoming show, Out of the Woods. Tall and lanky, Simpson’s fluid energy is reflected in his paintings of the forest — that is, his abstract surrealist take on the forest. “It’s more the density, the patterning of the rain forest,” he explained of the huge canvases filled with lively colour. “I’m not trying to re-do Emily Carr in any sense.” Simpson describes his technique as automatism and mark making — a spontaneous, freeflowing approach to painting that starts with drenching the canvas with water and then laying down strokes “like calligraphy,” he explains in a Bravo documentary about the artist. “Slowly the strokes become forms, then I add colour to the forms and it becomes a mosaic of colour. The painting tells me what to do next.” The result is less about capturing the greens and browns of a typical West Coast forest than expressing the dynamism of nature. “As an abstract painter in B.C., the best you can do with a

Simpson acknowledges that when surrealism is mentioned, most people think of Salvador Dali, a comparison he’d like to avoid. Instead, Simpson cites influences like Juan Miro, Andre Masson and particularly Willem de Kooning, who “transformed surrealism into abstract expressionism.” Paintings in Out of the Woods are drawn from three different series — Island Passages, Simpson’s response to his new Bowen Island home, Improvised Landscapes and Personal Totems,

which features the emergence of figurative forms. If viewers get the sense that Simpson’s paintings evoke a lyrical, rhythmic feeling it’s because the artist is also an accomplished jazz drummer. For more information about Simpson and his work, visit www. greggsimpson.com. • Out of the Woods runs Nov. 18 to Dec. 10 at the Evergreen Cultural Centre. An opening reception, with the artist in attendance, is on Nov. 20 from 4 to 6 p.m. Visitors can get a guided tour of the exhibition Saturdays at 2 p.m.

Express gain little ground after split Coquitlam snags win against Alberni, loses to Caps By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

For the Coquitlam Express the week ended much as it began. After splitting its weekend games the squad is still in seventh place and still seven points behind the league leading C o w i c h a n Va l l e y Capitals in the tight Coastal Conference division of the B.C. Junior Hockey League. The Express had a chance to gain some ground on Saturday when the Cowichan crew visited the Coquitlam but came up short, eventually losing 5-4 in overtime. Fans at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex saw early evidence that the game would be a back-andforth affair when the Capitals Matt Brown and Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alex Petan swapped goals within 12 seconds of each other five minutes into the first. The squads again exchanged goals mid-way through the frame, with Cowichanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brandon Mistal scoring on a feed from Keyler Br uce, before Express forward Taylor Bourne tied the game back up. The Express ran into penalty trouble in the second period, allowing the Capitalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Matt Brown to score a power play goal assisted by Brayden Sherbinin. But Coquitlam would score a power

play goal of its own, followed up by a shorthanded marker from Justin Georgeson, to give the Express a 4-3 lead going into the final frame. The Capitals, however, were not finished yet. A tight defence k e p t C o q u i t l a m â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snipers at bay and Cowichan Valley was able to force overtime with a power play goal from Jacob Charles in the final minutes of the third. Cowichanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Darrin Robak was the overtime hero, scoring the winning marker with 21 seconds left in the period, securing the Capitals place at the top of the standings. The loss came one night after Coquitlam smacked the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 6-2 at the Weyerhaeuser Arena. The Express were two-for-five on the power play and dominant in the faceoff circle as it jumped out to a 4-0 lead before the Bulldogs woke up in the third period. Alberni then netted two quick goals, one of which was a power play, before the Express piled on two more goals from Taylor Bour ne and Rajan Sidhu to make it 6-2. The Coquitlam Express will spend the next weekend on the road when they play Powell River, Alberni Valley and Nanaimo before returning home to Coquitlam on Nov. 25 to play Langley.

Coquitlam Tiger Ethan Shuen carries the ball during a match against the Vancouver Westwide Warriors on Sunday.

Coquitlam club drops game to Van-City squad The Mud Bowl minor football tour nament lived up to its name on Sunday afternoon after the Coquitlam Tigers dropped a 36-12 decision to the Westside War riors during an atom division game on Sunday. Coquitlam had a tough star t ag ainst the Vancouver squad, which scored a touchdown on the opening drive after sweeping right on third down and three to make the game 6-0. But the local squad quickly responded with Ethan Shuen who ran from the 15yard line to punch in a touchdown and tie the game. The match seesawed back in the Warrior’s favour when the squad successfully tried a tight front line and ran up the middle twice in a row. A sweep wide left allowed Vancouver to take a touchdown and the lead. The visiting team, however, were not finished yet. Coquitlam struggled to get a first down and allowed Vancouver to score another touchdown on their next drive to make it 18-6. The Warriors managed their second touchdown of the game, but Vancouver responded with Tyson Gugushe, who shook off a tackle and scored. By the time the clock

had run out Vancouver was leading 36-12. Va n c o u v e r a n d Coquitlam last met on Sept. 18 when they played to an 18-18 tie. sports@tricitynews.com

The Coquitlam Metro Ford Dynamite played to a 0-0 draw against the GEU Thunder on the weekend in a tightly matched, defensive affair. M i d f i e l d e r s Ro s e Mendes, Jenna Kear and Annelise Denny provided the push to keep the play mostly in the Thunderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end but the forwards failed to capitalize on their chances. Despite the lack of scoring Dynamite strikers Cassie Weimer and Amelia Knight supported by Liz Stewart and Ciara Petti caused havoc in the Thunderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penalty area. However, in the end the Dynamite could not put one past the keeper and the game remained tied, despite several spectacular chances.
