Police composite sketch of the suspect.
Cops seek suspect in attack Coquitlam RCMP are pleading for the public’s help after a woman was attacked while walking her dog on a popular Town Centre-area walking trail. According to a press release from the Mounties, the 41-year-old woman was walking on the Hoy Creek Trail Monday, Nov. 22 around 4:30 p.m. when a man attacked her from behind. The woman fought off her attacker and escaped but sustained injuries; she was treated in hospital and released. The Hoy Creek Trail runs off Guildford Way between Pinetree Way and Johnson Street; it has access points near Douglas College, the Princess Gate development and Walton elementary school. “It’s a well-used trail,” Coquitlam RC M P s p o ke s p e r s o n C o n s t . Kristina Biro said. “Given the location and time of the incident, we are hoping that someone saw or heard something and will give us a call. It’s early in the investigation and any information, no matter how insignificant it might seem, could be very valuable.” The suspect is described as a man of unknown ethnicity in his late 30s, approximately 6’ tall with a medium to athletic build; he has brown, curly hair and was wearing dark clothing at the time of the attack. Anyone with information about the attack is asked to call RCMP Const. Bilmer Mottaghian at 604-5527309 or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

More than a hundred people crammed Coquitlam city council chambers — and beyond — to take part in Monday’s public hearing on rezoning 3030 Gordon Ave., a property owned by the city, to make way for a permanent shelter for the homeless. After the five-hour hearing, council voted 8-1 in favour of the shelter.
Shelter gets council OK Supporters, some from other areas, outnumber opponents at hearing
IN QUOTES
“I’m sure I’d be supportive if it was in some other person’s neighbourhood as well.”
By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam city council voted early Tuesday morning to approve the city’s first homeless shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave. The eight-to-one vote in favour of the shelter saw Coun. Lou Sekora cast the only dissenting vote against the Gordon Avenue site following a five-hour public hearing on the issue. At the hearing, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart’s pleading preamble that “cooler heads would prevail” proved true. Expressing regret at having to point out the presence of police stationed in council chambers before the hearing began, Stewart
Brenda Badgero (left) said their mention was warranted given threats made against councillors and against shelter supporters at a previous meeting on the issue last month. “I’ve never had to say that before and I’m deeply troubled by the fact that I feel, and that council feels, that it needed to be said tonight,” Stewart said. But despite a few off-the-cuff
comments and jeers from among the more than 100 people gathered in the council chambers and spilling out into the atrium, the marathon hearing on the proposed 3030 Gordon Ave. shelter went relatively smoothly. And while there was no shortage of shelter opponents at the hearing, an early show of hands at the request of Tri-Cities homeless
activist Sandy Burpee revealed that shelter supporters outnumbered those opposed to it at the hearing by roughly 10 to one. But residents in the area of the shelter called out those who spoke for the shelter who don’t live in the immediate vicinity of the proposed facility. “And where do you live? Let’s put it in Port Coquitlam then. Let’s put it by his house,” a man shouted at a spokesperson for the Hope for Freedom Society, a homeless outreach group. The comment prompted Mayor Stewart to warn, “This is not going to work if we have that kind of comment because of where he lives. Everyone in the country can come in here tonight and make some comments and council gets to attach whatever relevance to them.” see FORMER FORMER,, page A6

Firefighters go ‘above & beyond’ PoMo mom thanks firefighters for coming to daughters’ aid
Break in pipe leads to hole in Laval St.
By Todd Coyne
By Todd Coyne
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Port Moody mother said she is more than grateful to the city firefighters who “went above and beyond” the call to help her twin 16-yearold daughters cope with a domestic disaster while they were home alone last week. While mom was in Florida with their 13-year-old sister’s Coquitlam soccer team, twins Saskia and Ariana Vaisey were home alone for the first time. “I’m a pretty good worrier but never ever had I thought that this could happen,” said Tasha Nathanson, the girls’ mother. Here’s what happened: During last week’s cold spell, the pipes in their 40-year-old Pleasantside home froze solid. Calling on a neighbour for help, the girls were able to warm up the pipes enough Tuesday night to get the water flowing again. But an open faucet in the basement ran all night unbeknownst to the girls. Saskia awoke first the next morning to find the basement floor submerged under four to five inches of water. “Her first thought was to save her computer,” Nathanson told The Tri-City News Monday. “So she runs through the water to try and turn off the computer and gets an electric shock all the way up her arm.” In the screaming that ensued, Ariana came downstairs and, unsure of who else to turn to, the twins called the city of Port Moody,

Ariana and Saskia Vasey were home alone when frozen pipes led to a flooded basement. With their mom out of town, Port Moody fire crews led by Capt.

Within 15 minutes of me walking in the door, the insurance adjustor is sitting with me telling me it’s covered.” And while Nathanson is still understandably busy with home repairs and appointments, she said that high on her to-do list is some “thank you” baking for her heroes at the fire hall. Port Moody Fire Chief Jeff Lambert expressed pride in his new captain Monday but told The News that anyone who knows Currie would not
have expected anything less from him. “Our firefighters are committed first and foremost to the people they serve,” said Lambert. “To that point, Capt. Currie commented that there were two young kids at home, no parents around and if they left the water, it was going to create more damage... so they [vacuumed] it, called all the right people. “If you knew Archie, you know that’s just the way he is.” Currie was promoted to captain last month and has been with the Port Moody Fire Department since 1991. tcoyne@tricitynews.com
Coquitlam public works crews are still trying to figure out what caused a water main to break over the weekend, destroying one lane of Maillardville’s Laval Street and tying up city workers for 12 hours overnight. Coquitlam’s director of public works, Jamie Umpleby, said the water main broke at around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, blowing a massive hole in Laval just south of Brunette Avenue and leaving many Coquitlam residents without water. S t i l l u n s u re wh at caused the blow-out Monday, Umpleby said the most likely culprit would be a sudden and unexpected pressure surge in the old cast-iron line, which may have become brittle with time. “We had it under control within a few hours,” he said, “but it took us until about 9 o’clock the next morning to finish the repair and restore service to everybody.” The pipe rupture washed out the gravel from under at least one lane of Laval Street, which Umpleby said will have to be torn up and rebuilt. Laval Street remained limited to one lane of traffic Monday as workers continue to rebuild the roadway. tcoyne@tricitynews.com
Man behind hiring campaign promotes ability By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A two-year Tri-City campaign to promote the hiring of people with disabilities has come to an end but that doesn’t mean the issue has dropped off the agenda of human resource managers and CEOs. In fact, more businesses are considering hiring people with disabilities, says the marketing director for the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce’s 10 x 10 initiative, and owners and managers are finding business success when they focus on people’s abilities rather than their disabilities.
Matthew Danchuk is wrapping up the campaign to increase the number of people with disabilities in the workplace by 10% and says hiring numbers are hard to come by but people have been responding to the issues raised by the chamber initiative, which was funded by the Vancouver Foundation. “The more knowledgeable you are, the more comfortable you are hiring people that have different abilities and who come from different backgrounds,” said Danchuk. One small sign that the 10 x 10 initiative has made inroads in the Tri-Cities is this
week’s Celebration of Ability to wrap up the campaign, which promises to have a capacity crowd and is already full. But Danchuk said a growing number of business owners with whom he has talked are aware they need to have hiring practices that are more inclusive to ensure they have a skilled workforce into the future; as well, more understand the need to have policies in place to accommodate employees who become disabled as they age. “Disability management is basically how to deal with and create accommodation,” said Danchuk, who organized a round-table discussion for Tri-City employers about how
to plan for employees who have disabilities and a workshop for small business on understanding the B.C. Human Rights Code. Danchuk said it’s a myth that people with disabilities take more sick leave, need costly retrofits or won’t stick around long term. In fact, he says, research shows they are more loyal, don’t require any more sick days than other employees and, when compared to the cost of recruitment and retraining a new worker, are relatively inexpensive to accommodate with more flexible hours or a small office retrofit.

‘Disability confident’ key “When you hire somebody with a disability or who acquires a disability, they may require accommodation of some sort. Some don’t.” It’s also smart business to have a diversified workforce, said Danchuk, who cites studies that show that people over 65 are more likely to have a disability but also have buying power. They are more likely to do business with companies that are “disability confident,” a term that means a business has policies in place and trained staff to accommodate individuals with disabilities or hire workers with disabilities. Danchuk, who has a communications degree from SFU and a background in publishing and marketing, could
be considered a person with a disability as he has a congenital heart condition. But he prefers to focus on his and others’ abilities rather than potential disabilities, and is passionate about encouraging businesses to be more inclusive in their hiring practices. Among his accomplishments this year is the establishment of a website with resources and links for businesses interested in hiring people with disabilities and a booklet with similar information that he’s been handing out to small business owners and human resources managers. Having the Chamber of Commerce backing the initiative, he said, is key because it gets his foot in the door. “[Businesses understand] the local chamber of commerce supports

hiring people with disabilities. Take another look at this.” Although the local 10 x 10 initiative is wrapping up for now, the website (www.engageability.ca) will be updated regularly, and Danchuk said there are local agencies that can match people with disabilities in jobs and other groups promoting inclusive hiring practices, such as The Open Door Group, which has started an employers’ forum on disability, and the Greater Vancouver Business Leadership Network, which works with banks, large and small businesses to place people in entry-level to professional positions.

It may be the last year for Lafarge Lake light festival By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Santa will be on hand for the Envision Financial Light the Lake Festival on Sunday to turn on the 30,000 lights draped through the trees and set in motion the official countdown to Christmas in Coquitlam. And it could be for the last time. Douglas College and Envision Financial are once again partnering in putting on the festival, which blends the traditions of holiday tree lighting with crafts, music, food and even a small farmer’s market where people can stock up on festive delicacies and gifts. Envision’s five-year sponsorship commitment is coming to an end — it was already extended by a year — and Douglas College has yet to find a replacement. It is looking for another agency, possibly the city of Coquitlam, to put up the lights next year. “We will do everything we can to make so there those trees are still lit,� said Hazel Postma, Douglas’ associate vice-president of external relations. Postma said the event is an important contribution to the bursary program for students in need in at the college’s Health Sciences program. And beyond that, it’s an event many look forward to. “Light the Lake is a perfect kickoff to the Christmas season,�
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Key ingredients of the Envision Financial Light the Lake Festival: Santa and kids. Sam Ruocco, branch manager at the Sunwood Square Envision Financial, said in a press release. “It’s an opportunity for families to get together and have some fun at Lafarge Lake while also helping student aid programs at Douglas College.� The long-range weather forecast suggests the weather should be dry and cold for the event that brings out between 5,000 to 8,000 spectators. This year, vendors from the Coquitlam Far mers Market will be selling their wares while Coquitlam Sunrise Rotary is sponsoring balloon sculpting and face painting; Evergreen Cultural Centre will show chil-
dren how to do a puppet craft; and the Sorority Sisters are offering a lantern craft. Food vendors include Mr. Mikes and the Coquitlam Firefighters barbecue, and there will be cookies, mulled apple juice, coffee and hot chocolate provided by Thrifty Foods and Starbucks. On stage between 3 and 6 p.m. will be Newport Brass, Stage 43, Theatrix, Cooper Studios and the Galactic Entertainment Light Show. Santa will be turning on the lights at approximately 4:45 p.m. but there will be plenty of time to enjoy the lights because they will be on for a month, Postma said. The event runs from 3-7 p.m. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Former tent dweller says shelter helped him continued from front page
And while speakers from various Vancouverbased church groups and organizations such as the Greater Vancouver Shelter Strategy and RainCity Housing drew similar jeers from shelter-area residents, it was Darin Froese, regional director of BC Housing, the organization charged with funding and building the proposed facility, who drew the greatest ire when he told council: “I look forward to seeing you at the ribbon-cutting.” Brenda Badgero, whose Reece Avenue home sits within 100 m of the shelter zone, complained that council was “just going through the motions” of a public hearing to appear as if the fate of the site hadn’t already been decided. Badgero criticized the heavy support for the shelter from Metro Vancouver homeless advocacy groups, saying, “I’m sure I’d be supportive if it was in some other person’s neighbourhood as well.” Voicing a concern that was echoed by many shelter-area residents throughout the hearing, Judy Donaghey showed council a photograph of her son playing at Fox Park near the shelter site, and claimed council was trying to turn her neighbourhood into “another Downtown Eastside.” Donaghey said she had a petition signed by 244 shelter-area residents that stated they were “opposed to warehousing homeless” in the area due to its “inappropriate proximity to a children’s playground and a Signature liquor store.” Like many opponents to the shelter, Donaghey suggested homeless people be housed instead in unused buildings at Coquitlam’s Riverview Hospital, a suggestion that council repeatedly said had been thoroughly considered for the shelter but proved unacceptable due to the presence of dangerous materials in older Riverview buildings and the prohibitive cost of retrofitting them to meet safety standards. According to the

Gordon Ave. coming up a clear winner in all categories due to its fringe location — there’s only one home on the street — and proximity to Coquitlam’s existing homeless population. Darren Hurst was a member of that homeless population and said he lived in a tent on the 3030 Gordon Ave. property for six months. He told council he credits the cold weather shelter program that has been operating for several years at TriCity churches with saving his life and turning it around. “I stand before you here to say that anybody here who thinks they don’t have this thing in
their backyard already, you need to wake up because the fact is, not only did I live on that property on Gordon Avenue for six months but there will be 12 other people living there,” Hurst said. “I’ve been off the streets now for almost two years. Not only was I a client with the wet weather mat program, the following year I became a staff member.” Of the 62 people who spoke at the hearing, which ran until after midnight, 46 spoke in favour of the shelter on the 3030 Gordon Ave. site, 15 spoke against it and one local man opted to split his voice both half for and against the proposed
Gordon Avenue site. The cost of the shelter will be covered by the provincial government through BC Housing, although an agreement hasn’t yet been reached on funding. The approved plans for 3030 Gordon Ave. indicate that it will contain 30 emergency shelter beds and 30 long-term transitional housing beds for a total capacity of 60 people. During inclement weather, provisions could be made to provide an additional 30 cold weather mats inside the shelter for a maximum capacity of 90 persons during extreme weather. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Black, Horne back Falcon 10 MLAs support leadership bid By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
The Tri-Cities’ two BC Liberal MLAs are backing Kevin Falcon in his bid for his party’s leadership. Iain Black, MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam and the labour minister, and CoquitlamBurke Mountain MLA Douglas IAIN BLACK Horne are among 10 MLAs supporting their Sur reyCloverdale colleague in his campaign to replace Premier Gordon Campbell. “It is time for a new generation of leadership,� said Falcon, a former health minister and transportation minDOUG HORNE ister, at a press conference Tuesday morning at the Surrey Museum in Cloverdale. The MLA count of 10 for Falcon in Surrey was expected to be bolstered by more at a second launch Tuesday evening in Prince George — topping the nine supporting Shuswap MLA George Abbott, who declared his candidacy for the party leadership last week. The other MLA running to replace Campbell is Moira Stilwell while former TriCity MLA Christy Clark, currently a talk show host on radio station CKNW, told her listeners last week she’s considering a run for the province’s biggest office. Falcon is no stranger to Tri-City interests, having butted heads, while transportation minister, with local mayors over TransLink and nuking the old elected board after it nearly refused to build the Canada Line ahead of the Evergreen Line, then later ordering TransLink to install costly SkyTrain turnstiles. The Liberal leadership vote is Feb. 26, two weeks after a separate convention to decide the rules of the vote. jnagel@blackpress.ca

may have been intoxicated. DeVries said the fight began on the bus but spilled onto the street near the intersection of 15th Street and Grand Boulevard. The two suspects tried to flee the scene, but police found them hiding a few blocks away. Both were arrested, charged, and released into the custody of their parents on a promise to appear in court. ghoekstra@northshoreoutlook.com

Mayors concerned despite promises By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Oil tanker shipments are much safer than opponents have led the public to believe, port and industry officials told Metro Vancouver directors last week. The Port Metro Vancouver-led delegation was dispatched to try to bust myths and quell public fear about tanker safety after the recent tripling of crude oil exports through Burrard Inlet and the possibility Kinder Morgan may try to more than double the current capacity of its pipeline that brings oil from northern Alberta to its terminal in Burnaby. “We practise things like complete shutdowns of tankers and other vessels in narrow passages such as Second Narrows, loss of engines, loss of steering — those kinds of things,” Port Metro Vancouver chief operating officer Chris Badger told Metro’s port cities committee Nov. 24. Panellists said there’s great misunderstanding about the “underkeel” requirement that a ship clear the seabed by at least 10% of its draft. For tankers that typically sit 13 m deep in the water, that in theory means as little as 1.3 m of clearance, a number opponents have seized on as far too risky. see MAYORS FEAR, FEAR, page A9

Obermeyer said each oil tanker is required to carry two pilots in B.C. waters, so a backup is in place. Tankers move slowly and only at slack tide when there’s no current and all must be double-hulled. If a rock pierced a tanker’s first skin, Badger said the chances the second would also be breached is low. If that did happen, mayors demanded, how can cleanup agency Burrard Clean’s capacity to handle a 10,000tonne oil spill be sufficient when most tankers are laden with 110,000 tonnes? Ships are compartmentalized, Badger said, so the response should be sufficient to recover all the oil draining from either one main tank or else two ruptured side tanks. A bigger spill than
10,000 tonnes could draw a Coast Guard response plus trigger mutual aid agreements with cleanup agencies in Washington State. “The movement of oil is a risky business,” he conceded, but said the aim is to make it as safe as possible. Bur naby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he was concerned to hear Obermeyer talk of oil tanker crews sometimes arriving here with poor English language skills and training, and often suffering from fatigue. “It sent shivers up my spine,” he said. “I would like to have better faith in the people operating massive tankers and ships on the coast of British Columbia.” He said a 2007 spill of oil into Burrard Inlet when the Kinder Morgan pipeline was ruptured is further evi-
www.dancecoquitlam.ca dence cities are being forced to take on great risk so petroleum can be profitably exported. Kinder Morgan officials say they’re far from deciding whether to increase the Trans Mountain pipeline’s capacity from 300,000 barrels a day now to 700,000. About 70 tankers a year now come to Port Metro Vancouver. North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto said he thinks the region should perhaps be as vigilant about rail cargo as it is about shipping. R i ch m o n d M ayo r Malcolm Brodie said his council wants to keep tanker traffic off the Fraser River — a proposal would see aviation fuel shipped to a terminal in southeast Richmond to supply the airport. jnagel@blackpress.ca

But that minimum requirement applies across the full 120 m width of the channel tankers are permitted to use, according to Kevin Obermeyer, president and CEO of the Pacific Pilotage Authority, the federal agency that oversees the pilots who guide and dock heavy ships coming to B.C. Only if a tanker strayed to the shallow edge of the channel would it have less than two metres of water beneath its bottom as it passes the Second Narrows, he said. While centred in the deeper water at midchannel — where it’s supposed to be and where it’s kept harnessed on track by tugs — an oil tanker would have 12 m or more clearance, he said. Each tanker moves through Burrard Inlet with three tugs guiding it and exercises have shown they can control the ship even if there’s a major mechanical failure such as a stuck rudder, Obermeyer said. N o r t h Va n c o u ve r District Mayor Richard Walton asked what would happen if a pilot guiding a tanker suffered a heart attack, the tanker ruptured and was stranded leaking oil. “Despite the reassurances, we all get very scared by the one metre more or less clearance under the bridge,” he said. “It just sounds very scary.”

Abilities pay off for employers T
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
he Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce should be congratulated for creating awareness among employers about the valuable contributions to the workplace made by people with disabilities. This month, the business organization wraps up a two-year effort to encourage and inform employers about hiring people with disabilities. Through the 10x10 initiative to boost the number of people with disabilities in the workplace by 10%, more employers now know that inclusive hiring practices are the wave of the future. It’s not just a nice idea to hire people with disabilities or keep workers on the payroll who develop disabilities as they age — there are bottom-line benefits, too. Not only do disabled workers repay their bosses with hard work and loyalty, they are more likely to stick with a company, which will minimize the need for costly recruitment and retraining. Employees with a disability are more safety conscious than others and they have better-than-average attendance. While some may require flexible hours or physical changes to the workplace, these accommodations are minimal and government programs are available to defer some or all associated costs. Companies that plan now for future critical skill shortages will be better placed to get ahead when the economy improves. By diversifying the workplace and considering people with disabilities for jobs, employers have a large skilled labour pool to tap into. Many people with disabilities have excellent skills for a 21st century workplace and, in fact, Canadian adults with disabilities are about two-thirds as likely to have a post-secondary education compared with adults without disabilities, according to federal statistics. For the right business, there is the right worker to do the best job. The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce deserves recognition for spreading this positive message.
From Bennett: How Gordon Campbell was toppled BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA hatchet job. Sloppy. That was the initial reaction from Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett to my column last week on his noisy departure from the BC Liberal cabinet. Reviewing those events with Bennett and other sources, I realize I not only made a factual error, I missed a significant story about the end of Gordon Campbell’s leadership. Why did Bennett publicly break with Campbell, first to criticize his sweeping reorganization of resource ministries, then to call for Campbell to go? Was he upset about losing responsibility for mining? Was this another hot-tempered lapse in judgment, like his insulting email to a local critic that prompted Bennett to resign as minister of state for mining in 2007? No. It was a calmly calculated rebellion,
A
a solo effort to push Campbell out before it was too late for the BC Liberal Party. I called Bennett a “political suicide bomber.” He prefers “change agent.” Step one was a carefully timed call to Vancouver Sun reporter Jonathan Fowlie to blast the resource ministry shuffle, which Bennett views as a disaster of one-man rule. “I knew the premier was doing his TV statement, I think it was the next day,” Bennett told me, “and I figured, I have to make a statement about this now and put some pressure on the premier.” Bennett knew this alone could get him bounced out of cabinet. But with NDP leader Carole James under fire for kicking Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson out of caucus without discussion and Campbell’s TV address pending, he expected to survive for awhile. Step two was an appearance on Sean Leslie’s CKNW talk show a few days later, saying Campbell should step down immediately. In both interviews, he was careful to be “respectful” of Campbell but this was an-

other clear breach of cabinet solidarity. He was fired from cabinet Nov. 17, then launched his attack on Campbell’s “bullying.” Bennett says his decision to sacrifice his cherished job as energy minister began on Sept. 14. That’s the day a BC Liberalcontrolled legislative committee opted for a province-wide vote on repealing the harmonized sales tax. Campbell immediately announced the government would accept a simple majority of those who vote, much less than the Recall and Initiative Act requires. The BC Liberals had held a two-day caucus retreat in Kelowna “and that option was never, ever discussed,” Bennett said. “I just thought, if this guy stays, we are cooked. The BC Liberal government will never get elected again.” His solo mission followed at least one group effort to push Campbell towards the door. Bennett says he was one of 10 MLAs who agreed to sign a letter politely suggesting Campbell bow out at the party’s Penticton convention Nov. 19 to 20. An intermediary, a former cabinet minis-
ter, got involved. Bennett said the intermediary was told some MLAs were prepared to sit as independents when the house resumes in February if Campbell was still premier. When Campbell announced he was stepping down, he gave no date. Bennett says he and other fed-up MLAs became concerned that Campbell might stay until the HST vote next fall — or longer. The party has since scrambled to reschedule its convention, change its voting structure to give rural areas a chance (Bennett says that, too, was his initiative, last July) and select a new leader on Feb. 26. Mission accomplished.
CORRECTION I wrote last week that Bennett prematurely disclosed a revenue-sharing offer for the Prosperity mine. Provincial negotiators had made that offer privately more than a year earlier. My apologies. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The Editor, Tara McIntosh’s column is a thought-provoking and generally thoughtful discussion of a woman who took her son to “Take Your Child to Work Day” by having him stay with her, at home.
Routinely, before the days of “women’s liberation,” women lost their jobs when married or when pregnant, and working mothers were more rigourously shamed than they are today; and there were far fewer choices for women or men about how to co-operatively arrange their work and family responsibilities. Steinem’s point in the 1970 article is that the social system put too much pressure on men to be supporters and encouraged women to be parasites within a dependent marriage. Based on my knowledge of her work and social politics, I feel certain Steinem would not be critical of modern families that have consciously, with mutual negotiation and respect, made arrangements that benefit their family — whether this means a stay-athome mom or stay-at-home dad. Her article makes it clear that feminism is about increasing conscious choices and about encouraging the social system — including government policies — to support and value domestic work, and provide families with more options about how to raise their children. This is hardly the simplistic anti-housework or anti-stay-at-home parents position that Ms. McIntosh accuses Steinem of holding. Trish Matson, Coquitlam

ABOUT ‘PARASITES’
But I have to correct Ms. McIntosh’s poor referencing of Gloria Steinem: She claims Steinem “called those who chose to TARA MCINTOSH marry and stay home with the kids ‘parasites,’” a reference she undoubtedly culled from antifeminist and misogynist internet sites. If Ms. McIntosh had read, in its entirety, the original article by Steinem, she would discover that Steinem does not so simplistically refer to housewives, or certainly stay-at-home mothers, as “parasites;” rather, in context, Steinem is referring to a social system that in the 1960s still encouraged women to live off men in an utterly dependent relationship instead of making their own choices and exercising their own agency. She is not condemning women or men who have chosen with full consciousness to care for children or domestic space. I would encourage people to read Steinem’s classic “What it Would be Like if Women Win” article, available at www.time.com, and in doing so to consider that this was written at a time when few women felt they had a choice about how to live once married.

The Editor, Re. “Mom’s the word – for an invaluable career” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, Nov. 26). Thank you to columnist Tara McIntosh for her most accurate article on stay-at-home moms. I am a semi-stay-at-home mom, meaning I work two days at an office. I am of Chinese descent from Singapore and grew up there with the idea that one must “contribute” — that means financially — to society in order to be deemed useful. My father, who is a son of Singapore, is a firm supporter of this philosophy. I have felt that I almost have to apologize when asked “What do you do for a living?” as the answer — being a stay-at-home mom — is not a useful career at all. But as the years go by, I see my father softening as he admits that a stay-at-home mom is valuable. Even he can see no one can take the place of a mom. Teresa Low-Provenzano, Coquitlam

MP to defend seat By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Local MP and New Democratic Party fisheries and oceans critic, Fin Donnelly, has been picked to represent the party again in his riding of New Westminster-Coquitlam in the next federal election. At a riding meeting Saturday, Donnelly spoke of his work in the TriCities and New Westminster in the lead-up to his being sworn in as an MP in November 2009. While the date for the next federal election has not yet been set, it must be held before the current Parliament expires on Oct. 15, 2012. NDP riding association president Tania Jarzebiak said in a press release Sunday the party’s federal election preparations are already underway. “We’re thrilled Fin is seeking reelection,” she said. “It was great to
see our members come out to support the work he has been doing on behalf of our community.” Donnelly, a former Coquitlam city councillor, is perhaps best DONNELLY known for his work on fighting to protect B.C.’s wild salmon and to impose stricter environmental regulations on the province’s fish farms. He’s not the only declared candidate DILWORTH in New WestminsterCoquitlam. Port Moody Coun. Diana Dilworth, who ran against Donnelly in the byelection to replace former MP Dawn Black, will run again for the federal Progressive Conservative party. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Buntzen project delayed Water levels high over summer for Hydro project By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
An $18-million project to replace a turbine at the Buntzen Lake powerhouse in Anmore is behind schedule. BC Hydro, which owns the reservoir north of Port Moody, said the work will now wrap up around Dec. 9 — two weeks late, said community relations co-ordinator Steve Higginbottom. But the Crown corporation spokesman said the replacement that created a high-water level on the lake — closing some beaches, boat launches and trails — didn’t result in a drop of visitors over the summer. The village’s mayor and a business manager disagree. “It wasn’t the same experience it usually is,” Anmore Mayor Heather Anderson said. “There were a few weekends where the gates were closed but, overall, it seemed to be a quieter summer for us.” Chris Berryman of Anmore Grocery and Buntzen Lake Canoe
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Despite the high water level at Buntzen Lake in Anmore over the summer, many sunseekers enjoyed the BC Hydro recreation site. Rentals on Sunnyside Road said she saw 15 to 20% fewer customers walking through her doors. And she blamed the media for putting out the wrong information about the replacement work. “They reported that [the lake] was closed, but it was just a highwater level,” she said. She said her store hasn’t received any compensation but Higginbottom noted BC Hydro hasn’t had any complaints about lost revenues from the handful of Anmore busi-
Reminder
nesses that rely on the recreation site. The turbine replacement was done in the summer as demand for electricity peaks in the winter. Usually, the reservoir water is released through the powerhouse into Indian Arm but, with the closure, the water is being let out through the Buntzen spillway channel, at the north end of the lake, which is at a higher elevation than the powerhouse — thus, the highwater level. The lake is used to power two hydroelectric stations on
Indian Arm. Despite the delay, the seven-month job remains on budget, Higginbottom said. Meanwhile, Anderson said the village will apply for senior government grants to replace the culvert at the Mossom Creek crossing of East Road, one of the municipality’s two arterial routes. The first phase to rebuild East Road is complete but the village ran out of money to finish the last part of the project, Anderson said.

Facing off on ice, 2 teams root for the same winner Gary MacKenzie’s friends in hockey are playing a benefit game in his name By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
I
t doesn’t take much to be a hero to kids. A joke here, a probing question there. “How’s school?” “How’s your hockey team doing?” Gary MacKenzie has all these questions in his repertoire and more. He’s a guy who knows how to make kids feel like they’re part of something and for more than three decades they’ve been coming to him for skate sharpening, lacrosse stick lacing, custom glove and skate fitting and repairs, as well as his jokes and hockey banter. At least they were until last spring, when MacKenzie was sidelined because of a cancer diagnosis and had to spend three months in and out of hospital for treatment. Jordan Haddad, now a Grade 12 student at Centennial secondary school, may have been one of the first to see the sign tacked up on MacKenzie’s workshop door saying MacKenzie’s Coquitlam custom sporting good services and repair business was temporarily closed. Haddad, who was looking to get his lacrosse stick laced, was surprised and curious, and he didn’t let the closed door stop him from making a few inquiries. “I was trying to figure out what was happening and so I asked around a bit,” he recalled. What he found out — that MacKenzie had Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma — floored him and he passed the information to his teacher Keith Peterson. It turns out Haddad wasn’t the only one who knew and missed MacKenzie. Legions of local hockey families were bereft without his services. Even Peterson, who heads Centennial’s Hockey Academy program, was a fan, having used MacKenzie’s skate-sharpening services since he played minor hockey in Port Moody.
CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Gary MacKenzie, who lost his hair to chemotherapy, has for a long time sharpened hockey skates and, now, some local pucksters are putting on a charity hockey game in his name to benefit the BC Cancer Society. “You think of him as the local barber,” Peterson said. “He’d ask you questions but he’d already know all the answers. He already knows how your team’s doing because he’s so connected with the hockey community.” There are, of course, other places to get skates sharpened. But there is only one Gary MacKenzie, and Peterson’s students decided they
had to do something. For Caitlin Schwab, who says MacKenzie’s disappearance left a hole in the hockey community, the question was: What? “It started out as a student/ staff game,” said Schwab, another Grade 12 student in Centennial’s Hockey Academy, run by School District 43 with Pacific Rim Hockey Academy. Soon, it became evident
that MacKenzie was not just a local hero to kids. “It just snowballed from there,” she said. “Everybody wanted to get involved. A lot of people relied on Gary; they really missed him.” MacKenzie’s own hockey teammates wanted to get involved so they worked with Peterson’s Hockey Academy students and pretty soon a big fundraiser was in the works that
IN QUOTES
“It started out as a student/staff game. It just snowballed from there.” Caitlin Schwab, on a charity hockey game planned for Dec. 13 is expected to draw many people from the hockey community. The Dec. 13 event at Coquitlam’s main hockey arena will pit Gary’s Quick Stop Team against the Centennial Hockey Academy squad, with the rest of the class helping with promotion, running a concession and other details. The school’s metal shop will donate three hockey stick benches for auction and Peterson said there will be a Frisbee toss for prizes. The entire community is invited to the event from 4 to 6 p.m. with proceeds going to the BC Cancer Society. “We want the rink to be filled. We’re hoping a lot of the community comes out because there’s a lot of people who do know him,” said Peterson, who commented that he’s been inundated with calls and emails from people, some of whom have connections with MacKenzie going back generations. The man of the hour himself is appreciative, if not a little perplexed by all the attention. He says he missed the kids, too, and what the students are doing means a lot. “I’m totally impressed. I think it’s good for them to see what they can do.” He showed up to a photo shoot with a full chrome dome, thanks to his chemotherapy treatments — although he says he didn’t have a lot of hair to begin with — and a frame that’s 20 pounds lighter than before he started his cancer treatment. But he’s in remission, his sense of humour remains intact and he’s not ready to give up the ghost just yet. For his contribution to the hockey fundraiser, MacKenzie will give no quarter, challenging the very kids who want to honour him. During the game between the oldtimers and the academy students, he’ll sit in the opponents’ bench and, he promises: “I’m going to coach the old guys to a big victory.” • Admission to the Dec. 13 Gary MacKenzie hockey fundraiser for BC Cancer research is free. The event runs 4 to 6 p.m., and there will be a game, a Frisbee toss and a concession. Contributions to the food bank run by Share Family and Community Services are welcome. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
PoMo church opens doors to harried commuters St. Andrews United is hosting ‘commuter’s sanctuary’ on three consecutive Thursdays By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
With all the holiday inducements to “hurry up,” to “do” and to “buy” that have become a part of the Christmas season, one local church is offering respite from
the often hectic pace of the holidays. Calling it a “commuter’s sanctuary,” minister Julie Lebrun said the idea to open the doors at St. Andrews United Church to travellers came while watching people in cars and buses hurrying by the Port Moody church’s windows. “I was just thinking of what a rush they’re in and what a crazy time it is of commuting, working and all the demands of family and getting ready for Christmas, and how that becomes the focus,” Lebrun said.
“So it’s like the opposite of the mall. The mall is saying, ‘Come here and come right away because the sale’s almost over. You’ve got to rush in and get the best deal you can and go, go, go and spend, spend, spend.’ But what this message is saying is, ‘Stop in. Come into our quiet sanctuary. It’ll be soft. It’ll be gentle. Just have some quiet.’” And so, for the next three Thursdays — Dec. 2, Dec. 9 and Dec. 16 — from 5 to 7 p.m., Lebrun will welcome anyone who is seeking peace from the stress and noise of the
world outside her church’s walls. Instead of high-energy mall Muzak, there will be gentle hymns; instead of fluorescent lights, candles; instead of office emails and text messages, serenity pamphlets. “It’s just for them to come and be,” Lebrun said. “To collect their thoughts and let their souls catch up with them.” • St. Andrews United Church is located at 2318 St. Johns St. in Port Moody. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Art & music mysteries make good reads A GOOD READ Sharon Visser Araujo Meet artists and thieves — and solve a crime
L
ately, I’ve read quite a number of interesting books that are related to art and music, which is why I’ve decided to use art as my topic for this Good Read column. I hope you enjoy the following titles as much as I did (and if you’re looking for a kids’ book the last review is for a children’s novel). • Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World’s Stolen Treasures
by Robert Whitman: This non-fiction book was written by a former FBI agent with a special interest in recovering stolen works of art. When Whitman was a child, he lived next door to an FBI agent. Young Robert admired this man and looked up to him and dreamed to become an FBI agent himself. He finally realized this dream and one of his first assignments was to recover a statue taken from the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia. Fortuitously, he was assigned to work with an agent who enjoyed art crime cases and so his career as an art crime detective began. The book details vari-
ous cases including the recovery of a missing copy of the Bill of Rights and provides an unusual look at highlevel undercover work. • The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova: Robert Oliver, a painter of some renown, has been arrested for attempting to deface a painting at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. Oliver ends up at a psychiatric hospital under the care of Dr. Andrew Marlow. Dr. Marlow is a hobby painter himself and he greatly respects Oliver’s work. During his diagnosis, Dr. Marlow immediately runs into trouble because Oliver had decided to stop speaking. Dr. Marlow’s
only course of action is to speak with Oliver’s family and friends, including Oliver’s soon-tobe ex-wife and various people from his past. This artistic mystery is hard to put down. • Paganini’s Ghost by Paul Adam: This classy, low-key suspense novel introduces us to Giovanni Castiglione, an Italian luthier, and Yevgeny Ivanov, a Russian musical prodigy. Ivanov is scheduled to play a priceless violin once owned by Nicolo Paganini but before he can do that, he needs to get the violin repaired. Ivanov takes the violin
to Castiglione, who performs the repair successfully. The day after Ivanov’s performance, a visiting French art dealer is found murdered in his hotel room.
Clutched in his hand is a piece of sheet music torn from the Paganini piece Ivanov played the night before. Detectives also find an ornate golden box that once belonged to Paganini. When Giovanni Castiglione’s good friend Det. Antonio Guastafeste is assigned to the case, Castiglione volunteers his musical expertise to help find the murderer. This whodunit combines music and art history. • The Calder Game by Blue Balliett: When young mathematician Calder Pillay visits an English village with
his father, he becomes fascinated with a statue made by artist Alexander Calder. But when the statue and young Calder Pillay both go missing, it’s up to Calder’s friends to figure out who would want the statue and how its disappearance is connected to Calder. This book uses pictograms, puzzles and pictures to help readers solve the mystery. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Sharon Visser Araujo is operations supervisor at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Library.

Santa’s ship sets sail Friday By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
December is rapidly approaching and Santa’s social calendar is filling up fast. And with scheduled appearances at various events throughout the Tri-Cities, not to mention Saturday’s big parade in Vancouver, the first weekend of the month will be one of his busiest. One of the most unique events on the big guy’s agenda is Santa’s Christmas Ships, which returns to the Tri-Cities beginning this Friday, Dec. 3. Local boaters from the Reed Point Marina, Burrard Yacht Club and local power-boat squadrons are expected to deck their decks with boughs of holly and other Yuletide ornaments for the annual cruises around Burrard Inlet. Although the event runs six nights -the first three Fridays and Saturdays of December -- Santa will only make two special appearances aboard his wooden Christmas ship known as the Kona Kai. The best public spots to see the nautical noel procession are East Hill Park, Alderside, Pleasantside, Barnet Beach, Belcarra, Woodlands, Cates Park and Deep Cove. Local residents with homes on the water are encouraged to flick their house lights and give a cheer as the Christmas Ships pass by. Each night the ships will leave Reed Point Marina in Port Moody at 7 p.m. and arrive at their destinations at approximately 7:20 p.m. Here’s the schedule (note: Santa will only appear on the first two Friday cruises):
Crafts for cause Sat. Friends and supporters of the Gaby Davis Foundation will be hosting a Christmas market Saturday, Dec. 4 at the River Springs recreation centre. The Gaby Davis Foundation helps families affected by childhood cancer by providing financial assistance and gifts to families with a child going through a cancer diagnosis. It was started by Guy and Tanya Davis in memory of their daughter, Gabrielle, who lost her fight with cancer in 2007. Saturday’s event runs from 1 to 4 p.m. and will not only raise funds but present numerous shopping opportunities to purchase jewellery, beauty products, gift baskets, candles, kitchenware, scrapbook and crafting products. River Springs rec centre is located at 1950 Lodge Dr., Coquitlam. For more information, visit www.gabydavisfoundation.com.

Learning to drive a car can be as stressful on a teenager’s parents as on their young driver — if not worse. That’s why the School District 43 District Parent Advisory Council is hosting a workshop for parents of teens and other young drivers. Designed to help parents and new drivers get the most out of their driver-training experience, the workshop will give parents the skills and resources to help teach their child safe driving habits. The Dec. 8 workshop, sponsored by the BC Automobile Association, will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the gallery of Winslow Centre, located at 1100 Winslow Ave. in Coquitlam. Anyone interested in attending the seminar is asked to RSVP by email to dpac43@telus.net.

Indelible drops debut CD Port Moody hip hop band releases first full-length album on Saturday in Coquitlam By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
I
t isn’t the typical start for a debut CD. Usually, artists follow their album release with videos and shows. But Indelible, a Port Moody-based hip hop band made up of brothers Lee and Jay Edmondson, did the reverse. Last year, they put out two videos, performed some gigs, made another video this past summer and, in October, dropped their CD, which will be unveiled in Coquitlam on Saturday. Jay admits the backward approach that came in drips and drabs was a little weird. “We had to play catch-up with ourselves,” he said. The reason? Not only are the Centennial secondary graduates musicians, they also did every part of the CD, including the engineering. Jay — or J Thorn, as he is known — owns Paranoyd Sound Studios in Port Moody, whose credits include independent acts like Lil Precious, Conspirituality, Jahranimo and The Matinee (Lil Precious

It reduces stress, strengthens the heart and lungs, increases energy gy levels, levels, helps p you y maintain and achieve a healthy body weight and it improves your outlook on life.” Health Canada - Healthy Living
and Jahranimo are featured on Indelible’s new CD). And because of their hectic schedule, the CD, titled “Our Present Future,” took three years to create. “We’re also perfectionists,” Jay said. Indelible’s hip hop roots started when the brothers were in middle school. They rapped to DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Young MC, 2 Live Crew, Tone Loc and Ice-T, and wrote songs. There were other genres mixed in, too, and those influences are incorporated into their new CD. Because of their diverse musical background and having a pulse on today’s beat, Jay believes Indelible’s sound has universal appeal. “It’s like we’ve modernized classics,” he said, noting the 16 tracks are clean and upbeat. “We try not to consider ourselves necessarily rappers. We’re musicians and we do whatever we do.” Take, for example, Indelible’s single “Gets Me High” of which the video was filmed in Tofino in August. It features Blaming Taylor,

a rock band that has worked with Indelible for years, and includes a lot of reggae (you can find the video on YouTube) Jay is especially proud of that song as it has charted on commercial radio, including Virgin 95.3 FM and, recently, won top prize in an online songwriting contest in — of all categories — pop. As for promoting the CD, Indelible just finished a week-long tour in B.C. and Alberta with The Scale Breakers and it has a number of gigs lined up, plus a tour early next year across Canada with Evil. As well, half of Indelible’s album is available for download free of charge (indeliblehiphop.bandcamp.com). “We’re promoting that more than the sale of the album,” Jay said. “We just want to grab people’s attention at this point. We want to get our faces out there. That’s why we released the videos first.” And, of course, there’s this Saturday’s CD release party at Roo’s Pub in Coquitlam, which will feature The Scale Breakers and the GroundBreakers. jwarren@tricitynews.com

n the winter, Christians have the Christmas tree, Hindus enjoy Diwali and Jews mark Hanukkah. All have light or fire as their beacon and it’s on this theme the city of Port Coquitlam will launch its Celebration of Light art exhibit tomorrow (Thursday). There are, in fact, two displays at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village that will shine. In the Gathering Place are photos and paintings by ArtsConnect’s ArtistCircle on such luminary topics as fireworks, stars, a lotus blossom and the Olympic flame. And in the Outlet are 13 entries for the first-ever Menorah art design competition — the brainchild of Eran Roubini, president of Coquitlam’s B u r q u e s t Je w i s h C o m m u n i t y Association. Roubini said the idea came after he remembered, as a child, being in The Bay in Vancouver and watching shoppers vote for their favourite Christmas tree. “I thought, ‘What a good way for Burquest to reach out to the community,’” he said in reference to the contest, which drew handmade menorahs from as far afield as Nova Scotia. The contest winner will be chosen tomorrow during the art reception and the name of the people’s choice award will be announced at the end of the exhibit next month. see EXHIBIT,, page A24

Jennifer Pielak, Brad Rossington, Peter Abando and Santa get ready for their performance of Under The Christmas Tree, an improvised all-ages musical that runs Fridays and Saturdays from Dec. 3 to 18 at Second Storey Theatre (201-2550 Shaughnessy St., Port Coquitlam). Tickets are $5/$4 with a cash or food donation to the Share food bank. Call 604-927-8400.
Light up Heritage Square on Saturday Make a lantern, hear Christmas carols and decorate gingerbread cookies at Heritage Square’s annual lighting festival Saturday. The Maillardville facility at 1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam will host “Light up the Square: A Lantern Affair” on Dec. 4 from 4 to 7 p.m. to usher in the holidays. Artist Liz Summerfield will lead a workshop on lantern making at 5:30 p.m. while a live reading of Radio Maillard: a Vaudeville — depicting the history of the French-Canadian enclave — will take place at 6:30 p.m.
The radio play will feature four actors, directed by Jesse award winner Sarah Rodgers. Place des Arts piano teacher Teresa Richert will tickle the ivories and saxophone music will be played by the Black Coffee Ensemble. As well, Quebecois fare will be on the menu and Pere Noel — aka Santa Claus — is expected to drop by for the little ones. Trade a non-perishable food item or a toy for the Share food bank for a hot chocolate at the station museum. For more information, visit placedesarts. ca.
Roubini said he was pleased with the response. A call for entries went out seven months ago through synagogues and art communities and closed in late October. The works are in various shapes and sizes, and are made with a range of materials: clay, copper, sterling silver, brass and mixed media. Surprisingly, half of the artists are not of Jewish descent and some menorahs are created by children, Roubini said. “I think they’re fabulous,” he said during a visit to The Outlet last week. “I’m looking forward to purchasing them. I have my eye on a couple.” The artists’ names are currently hidden to allow for a blind competition. The judges
are the editor of the Jewish Independent in Vancouver and the founding member of the West Vancouver synagogue. The winner will receive $1,000, courtesy of the Coquitlam Foundation, while the People’s Choice prize is $100. As part of the exhibit, of which the reception coincides with Hanukkah, Dec. 1 to 8, the Burquest centre is adding six of its menorahs to round out show, Roubini said. Yvonne Chui, PoCo’s arts and culture co-ordinator who organized the shows, said she was pleased to get the two community groups on board to “explore different artistic interpretations on the theme of winter light in all mediums,” she said. “Many cultures celebrate the return of light at this season.”
What’s on in Coquitlam
Meanwhile, the city also starts its Spirit of the Season concerts Thursday. Jacky Mack and students from J&W Piano Studio will ring in the series at 7 p.m. with classical music, also on the theme of light. And on Dec. 9, three professional recording artists from Rave On and Vogville Studios will perform acoustic music at Leigh Square. The concerts are free of charge. • The reception for the Celebration of Light is Dec. 2 at 6:30 p.m. at Leigh Square. The art exhibits run until Jan. 16. Also, on Dec. 5, the Burquest Jewish Community Association hosts an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its Dewdney Trunk Road centre.

Fox shows heart & Soll Roll into BC AAA final By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Quarterback Cam Canales and tailback Jacob Patko give the Terry Fox Ravens a terrific one-two scoring punch. Yet it was Jared Soll who was the real Fox knockout Saturday versus the Centennial Centaurs. Soll danced for 178 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries as Fox blasted the defending-champion Cents 46-13 in a B.C. AAA senior high school football semifinal showdown at UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium. The result advanced the No. 1-ranked Ravens to the provincial championship versus the Vancouver College Fighting Irish this Saturday at Empire Field, 7 p.m. The Irish moved on via a convincing 27-3 triumph over Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat Hawks. A six-foot-two senior, Soll was dominant on both sides of the ball, also rallying the
R ave n s ’ d e fence with a team-high six solo tackles from his rushend position. “ J a r e d played very well and [it showed] our depth,” said Ravens co-head coach Martin McDonnell. “Hopefully, we can keep it going against a very good Vancouver College team.” The Ravens dominated from the outset, capping the game’s opening offensive series that comprised eight straight running plays and 70 yards with a 10-yard dash to paydirt by Soll. Fox built a 21-0 margin before the Cents replied to cut the gap to 21-7 before the intermission, but the Ravens defence buckled down in the second half and limited their heated community rivals to only 43 total yards on 15 plays. “We watched lots of film [on Centennial] and [Fox co-head coach] Tom [Kudaba] put together a great defensive plan to stop [Cents’ QB Bobby]
Po s p i s c h i l , wh i c h w a s t h e k e y, ” McDonnell said. Centaurs head coach Ryk Piche said his team was simply over-matched by the rugged Ravens. “I don’t think it would have mattered what we did... they pushed us over offensively and defensively,” Piche said. “But I’m extremely proud of my guys for fighting right to the end.” Canales and Patko rushed for 68 and 89 yards respectively and hooked up on a 12-yard scoring toss as the Ravens racked up a staggering 428 yards total offence. Patko also helped out on defence, snagging two interceptions, including returning one 80 yards for another TD. Mouat head coach Denis Kelly believes Canales could be the difference-maker in the final against College. “They’re both big, physi-
cal crews [and] they’re fairly evenly matched in terms of running backs,” said Kelly, who coached the Irish before moving to Mouat. “I think quarterback could be the difference. Canales is very elusive and he’s bound to break away at one time or another. “He really can make a big play... turn a loss into a 50-yard touchdown run. I would pick Fox in the end.” Even Piche said he’s pulling for the Ravens, who rolled to a 37-7 regular-season triumph over the Cents back on Oct. 29. “As much as I hate Fox, I want to see them win the championship,” he said. “I want to see the [Frank Gnupp] cup stay in the Tri-Cities. They [Ravens] have got great kids.” END ZONE: The Ravens go gunning for their third provincial crown in five years, having won in 2006 (21-18 over the Irish) and 2008 (57-16 over Mouat). Since 2000, Vancouver College has made the provincial final five times but, incredibly, lost all five (2001,’02, ’04, ’05 and ’06).
Port Moody Black Panthers are scurrying past their adversaries like a frantic mall shopper on Christmas Eve. The Cats rushed to their four straight win by wrapping up the host Icebreakers 4-2 in a Pacific International Jr. ‘B’ hockey league battle Sunday at Mission Leisure Centre. Coupled with a 5-4 triumph Saturday over the Harold Brittain Conference-leading Abbotsford Pilots at PoMo Rec Complex, the Cats climbed to 11-9-4 and into second place heading into this week’s action, one point up on the Aldergrove Kodiaks and just four behind the Pilots. “Things are definitely sailing in the right direction,” crowed Cats general manager Ron Luniw, who added his team played it’s “best game of the year” in last Wednesday’s 3-2 victory over the host Kodiaks. “It’s definitely a blessing to see these guys come to the games prepared and go home happy. We’re putting it together. The overall picture of this hockey club is looking pretty
bloody good right now.” Against Mission, the Cats scored back-to-back powerplay goals early in the second period to take a 2-0 lead and were up 3-1 before the Icebreakers scored with 1:05 left to make things close. Cameron Lawson then hit an empty net with 21 ticks to go to seal the win. Joel Hamilton, Jamie Lively and Richard Moul also tallied for the Cats, who dominated despite the relative low shots-on-goal total, Luniw said. “For the first 40 minutes of the game, they [Icebreakers] only had possession of the puck for four or five minutes,” he said. “As long as you have possession of the puck, the other team obviously can’t score.” Versus Abby, the Cats scored twice shor thanded on way to the one-goal win. Brandon Millin, Jackson Hewitt, Trevor Kang, Julian Klaric and Tyler Basham netted the Cats’ other markers. Nick Taylor blocked 36 shots in the PoMo net. The Cats host the 8-16-0 Ridge Meadows Flames on Saturday, 7:45 p.m.
Fake-punt fury A fake punt by the Terry Fox Ravens in the late stages Saturday drew a very direct response from Centennial Centaurs head coach Ryk Piche. He didn’t like it –– to put it mildly. With three minutes remaining and Fox up 40-13, the Ravens faked a punt to retain possession that eventually resulted in Fox’s Mark Casuga bowling into the end zone on four-yard dash on the game’s final play. Piche felt there was no need for neither the trick play nor the final touchdown, and he let Fox co-head coach Martin McDonnell know it after. “I’m not going to take away anything from Terry Fox, they’re a great football team and they dominated,” Piche told The Tri-City News. “I let him [McDonnell] know I’m more than happy to take my lumps as a man but don’t rub it in on my guys. “At the end of the day, what goes around comes around. Trust me, I have a very good memory.” McDonnell countered by insisting the punt fake was not the Fox coaching staff’s call. “We talked about doing that earlier in the game but the guys took too long and we had to burn a timeout, then the moment was gone,” McDonnell said. “The [players] were upset with themselves and they called that fake punt, NOT the coaches. [But] not good, I agree.” –– Larry Pruner

Coquitlam Metro-Ford U15 boys soccer coach Dan Jones poses with his son, Adam (middle), and Matthew Fujii – and their North American championship trophy.
Metro-Ford U15 boys net continental crown The emotion on the field following the game told the story Thursday in Florida, as the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Under-15 boys soccer unit outlasted host Tampa Bay Premier in penalty kicks following a 2-2 tie to earn the two-year-old club it’s first North American championship. Teammates hugged and made phone calls back home, some in tears embraced their coaches and parents, and a rendition of ‘O Canada’ broke out among maple leaf-clad fans and players from other CMFSC teams. “We’ve worked really hard for this and we’ve prepared extensively for this,� CMFSC coach Dan Jones said. “It’s very important to the club because we’re a second-year club [and] we’ve worked really hard this year to become one of the top clubs and we wanted to take something away from it. You can see the emotion of everyone here and all the teams that are supporting us. It’s like they all won today, and that’s really an awe-
some experience for us. We’re proud to be in the Super Y [league] and we want to come back every year and challenge for this.� CMFSC goalie Cameron Frost was selected his team’s tournament MVP. Players, including their hometowns, were: Cameron Frost (South Surrey); Jorge Brizuela (Coquitlam); Christiano Ciccone (Coquitlam); Chad de Boer (Langley); Manpreet Deol (Abbotsford); Matthew Fujii (Port Moody); Mark George (Surrey); Razvan Gheorghe (Surrey); Jacob Gosse (Abbotsford); Adam Jones (Port Moody); Lucas Krivak (Port Moody); Jun Lee (Surrey); Tyler Leonard (Burnaby); James Najman (Surrey); Dylan Payne (Coquitlam); Andre Pietramala (Port Moody); Luigi Polisi (Coquitlam); and Aria Sarhangpour (Port Coquitlam). The team’s head coach was Dan Jones (Port Moody), who was assisted by Peter Price Jr. (Port Coquitlam). Cathy Jones (Port Moody) was team manager. OFFER ENDS AT MIDNIGHT!

Two Coquitlam Express forwards have committed to NCAA Div. 1 universities on scholarship star ting next fall, the B.C. Hockey Lea gue team announced Friday. Destry Straight will attend Boston College University and play for the Eagles, which h o u s e d fo r m e r Express player and current NHL Colorado Avalanche player Brandon Yip. A 17-year-old West Vancouver product, Straight was recently polled as a Category ‘A’ player by NHL Central Scouting, meaning he’s projected to be a first-round selection in next June’s NHL draft. The Eagles have appeared in six Frozen Four finals since 2001, having won three championships in that span. Straight has 28 points, including 10 goals, in 27 games with the Express this Jr. A campaign. “[It’s] g reat Destry is going a top-three ranked school for both athletics and education,â€? said Express head coach Jon Calvano. Straight becomes the third Express player to commit to U.S. universities this season, along with Gar rick Per ry (Alaska Fairbanks) and Brad Reid, a 20-year-old Delta native who’s agreed to attend Rochester Institute of Technology. Reid’s averaging a point per game in 27 outings this season with the Express. • The Express surrendered three unanswered goals i n t h e g a m e ’s final seven minutes Saturday in a 7-5 defeat to the Penticton Vees at the Sports Centre. The loss was the fifth straight for the 10-13-1-5 Express, who fell 5-2 on home ice Friday to the Victoria Grizzlies.

Celebration of Light
2
Art Exhibition at Leigh Square
I
n almost every culture and since early times, people have celebrated the miracle of light during midwinter in recognition of rebirth which involves holidays, festivals, gatherings or rituals.
Artists from Canada, United States and across the globe have submitted functional interpretations of a menorah design in the first Chanukah Menorah Design Competition.
In collaboration with the Burquest Jewish Community Association and ArtsConnect’s ArtistCircle, Leigh Square Community Arts Village presents “Celebration of Light� on this theme.
“We are excited to provide an opportunity to artists to creatively express hope, miracles and the return of the light which every culture and tradition has celebrated in some way for centuries,� said Eran Roubini, President of the Burquest Jewish Community Association.
The exhibit is taking place from now until January 16th, 2011 at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village in Port Coquitlam. ArtistCircle members will be presenting a diverse range of art in all mediums from a simple lotus blossom which opens only in the light, to a complex view of the cosmos and metaphysical reflections of light.
The official opening reception will take place Thursday December 2nd (tomorrow), and will feature classical music accompaniment by J&W Piano Studio at 6:30 pm. Artist Jacky Mak will also play classical piano music inspired by this year’s theme as “performance art� at the reception. ArtsConnect brings artists together, through its “ArtistCircle�, for creative inspiration, collaboration and networking. The Leigh Square Community Arts Village is dedicated to encouraging and facilitating community development through arts, culture and heritage by creating a visible presence for community cultural activities within Port Coquitlam and enlivening the downtown core.

years back, you are invited to come and take part in this special service. Following the service there will be refreshments available and a time to meet and share with others as well as those involved in the service. If you would like more information or have any questions please call the funeral home at 604-944-4128.
The service provides an opportunity to remember those who have died and are missed – especially at Christmas. It’s for people who, because of their loss, find Christmas a most difficult season to get through. It’s also for people who may look forward to Christmas, but who want to acknowledge and remember those who can no longer share Christmas with them.

symbol of peace. In Scandinavia, mistletoe was considered a plant of peace. When standing underneath the mistletoe, enemies could declare a truce and spouses could end any marital turmoil with a kiss.
Especially sacred to Celtic Druids, mistletoe was believed to bestow life and fertility, while also protecting against poison and serving as an aphrodisiac. Mistletoe would later take on a more political meaning, as the ritual of cutting the mistletoe came to symbolize the emasculation of the old king by his successor. Nowadays, mistletoe is typically hung in doorways or entryways from one room to another. This tradition can also trace itself back several centuries to the Middle Ages. During this time, branches of mistletoe were hung from ceilings to ward off evil spirits. Throughout Europe, mistletoe was placed over doorways in the house as well as the stables as a means to preventing the entrance of witches.
This year’s service includes special music from musicians Jillian Lebeck and Adam Robert Thomas. Also included is the singing of favourite Christmas carols, a Christmas message, and a time of remembering. Each person is given a dove Christmas ornament and are invited to place them on the Christmas tree during the service. Loved ones are remembered while the tree becomes beautifully decorated. The doves may then be reclaimed at the end of the service and taken home.
The tradition of kissing underneath the mistletoe likely stems from the belief that mistletoe bestows fertility and is often associated with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, a period of merrymaking that pre-dated Christmas. In 18th century England, a young lady standing underneath the mistletoe could not refuse to be kissed. Once kissed, the kiss would signify deep romance or eternal friendship.
Everyone is invited as this event is for the entire community. Whether you are recently bereaved or remembering someone from many

Operation Red Nose - Calling all Volunteers! Operation Red Nose is a unique program dedicated against drinking and driving. Essentially, it is a volunteer driving service provided during the Christmas Holiday Season to all drivers who have been drinking or who do not feel fit to drive their own vehicle back home. Operation Red Nose is looking for volunteers to make this a safer holiday season. Each time an impaired driver is delivered safely, our team has made the Tri-Cities a safer place. With seven nights remaining in this year’s initiative what better way to give back to the community during the holidays! How it works: each Operation Red Nose service is provided by a team of three volunteers. Two of these three volunteers ride with the client in his vehicle while the other volunteer follows them behind in his own car. These volunteers are the escort driver, designated driver, and the navigator. The Escort driver is the person who transports the designated driver and navigator in his or her own car to the client’s location. The designated driver drives the clients vehicle to the client’s home, and the navigator accompanies the designated driver and client to record information and provide an Operation Red Nose envelope. The Red Nose service is not intended just for people who have been drinking alcohol. Any person who does not feel fit to drive, due to tiredness or other reasons, can call the services of Operation Red Nose. A person may call once or more than once during the same evening, either to go from one place to another, or simply to go home. The service is free. Donations are accepted and are all returned to KidSport Tri-Cities. KidSport is a local organization that passes on funds to needy families, to assist them in providing their children the opportunity of being able to participate in a sport of their choice. The only requirement is the client must own or operate a vehicle at the time of his call. In other words: no vehicle, no service. Operation Red Nose is not a taxi service, but rather a
volunteer driver service for motorists and their cars. The client is driven in their own vehicle and never in the vehicle of the Operation Red Nose volunteers. Other passengers may also ride in the client’s vehicle (just as long as there are enough seat belts) and will be dropped off before the owner’s car is taken to the requested destination. This service is purely confidential. The volunteers commit to be discreet by signing a form in which they agree not to give any details that could help identify a client. Please visit www.operationrednose.com for more information.

When you shop at Ten Thousand Villages this holiday season, you’re doing more than finding the perfect gift – you’re contributing to fair trade.
100 g
today be found in the heart of downtown Port Coquitlam at Leigh Square.
Fair Trade means artisans are able to be paid for the true value of their product while receiving proper respect, dignity and hope from their hard work. Ten Thousand Villages works towards building a sustainable future and engraving a conscience in the world trade scene.
From now until Christmas eve, the local store will be featuring their “Living Gift Festival” where for as little as $20 you can purchase fingerlings that will help women in India develop fisheries. For $25 you can also supply literacy materials for women in Bangladesh.
A program of the the Mennonite Central Committee, Ten Thousand Villages deliberately looks to work with people who are unemployed or underemployed. They buy from more than 100 artisan groups which provides work for more than 60,000 people – 70% of which are women.
Whether you visit Ten Thousand Villages to buy gifts or donate to the holiday campaign, feel good about your purchases this Christmas while contributing to a great cause.
Products found in store are often made in homes where artisans also manage their household responsibilities of farm work. In some cases, handicrafts are made by individuals who have never made anything they could sell before and have no marketing connections.
Ten Thousand Villages is located at 2101–2253 Leigh Square.

O
n behalf of the Downtown Port Coquitlam Merchants and Professionals I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our local, and perhaps not so local shoppers, for supporting our Downtown businesses this year. It is through people such as yourself that we can continue to bring to and support community events such as May Day, Harvest Festival, Car Show, the Lighting of Leigh Square, and many others too numerous to mention.
Wishing you all a happy holiday & a prosperous New Year. Lih-Ming Tam, President, Port Coquitlam Business Improvement Association
