TransLink is ripped over faulty forecasts Metro directors wonder what missteps await

BLACK PRESS

TransLink executives took a battering Friday as Metro Vancouver politicians accused them of making so many faulty forecasts that their projections can’t be believed.

“How can we even trust TransLink knowing what’s happened in the past?” Richmond Coun. Harold Steves asked at a regional

planning committee meeting where the latest transit expansion plan was under scrutiny.

TransLink has been forced to scrap 300,000 hours of bus service expansion it had planned and make other cuts after concluding it is hundreds of millions of dollars short of what it needs to deliver its promised plan over the

next three years.

The big revenue drains include a $144-million drop in TransLink’s gas tax take from its 17 cent-alitre levy and an expectation that the Golden Ears Bridge will raise $38 million less than projected in tolls from 2013 to 2015. see TRANSLINK, page 4

‘Affordable housing’ aim of city initiatives

By Janis Warren

IN QUOTES

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Unprecedented growth in Coquitlam — and the high cost of living — has prompted the city to take another look at its housing affordability plan.

Last week, city council voted to update the fiveyear-old strategy, saying residents are struggling to make ends meet with the expensive land prices.

And property values will likely soar even more over the next few years as the city gets ready for the

“[Children] should be able to find a place in the city where they grew up.”

Coun. Craig Hodge Evergreen Line, which is scheduled to open by the summer of 2016, running from Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby to Coquitlam City Centre.

Coquitlam council-

lors say they are especially conscious of the rental housing stock in Burquitlam, where many low-income families live.

That area, which will have an Evergreen Line

station, is primed for redevelopment.

City planners say since the housing affordability strategy was adopted, a number of initiatives in that document have wrapped up or are nearing completion, including construction of the YWCA transitional housing units for single moms and their kids at 528 Como Lake Ave. and planning of a homeless shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave. see FOCUS ON, page 8

Wine & Wii, food & fundraising

By Sarah Payne

IN QUOTES

The Tri-CiTy News

T

he 15th annual A Class Act fundraiser at Douglas College is adding some new activities to the popular wine-tasting event, with guests getting a chance to try their hand at sign language and gaming on a Wii device.

The Wii comes courtesy of Douglas College’s Therapeutic Recreation program, which, along with Sign Language Interpreting, are part of the Faculty of Child, Family and Community Studies that will be moving to the college’s Coquitlam campus for the next two years.

“A Class Act is a fundraiser but it has always had a learning component — usually centred around wine tasting,” said Hazel Postma, Douglas’ associate vicepresident external. “But this year we are including a couple of activities we think guests will enjoy.”

Port Moody resident Jessica Bitz, a student in the college’s Hospitality Management Program, was part of last year’s fundraiser and this year she has taken on the student leader position, overseeing a team of 50 students who will act as hosts, servers and auction spotters at A Class Act. “Just being part of this event has been such an honour, and being able to work with such a great, dedicated team,” said Bitz, who graduates from the two-year program next spring with plans to pursue a hotel management program and a degree in business.

“Managing 50 students has... taught me a lot of management skills that I never knew I had,” Bitz added. “It’s been a great experience and a great insight into the hospitality industry.”

In addition to gourmet appetizers, wine and beer tasting, guests can bid on auction items that include a Grand Villa Casino getaway, spa and golf packages, and a Coquitlam Centre shopping spree.

This year’s A Class Act aims to raise $30,000

“It’s also for students who may not have the opportunity to go to college. These help them get into a class or program they could potentially find a real love for.”

TransLink planners ‘badly wrong’ about Golden Ears

FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice On page 12 of the October 5 flyer, the "Add Microsoft Office for only $79.99 to any PC or Mac" Promotion (WebCodes: 10145418 / 10155543) was advertised with an incorrect price.

continued from front page

Steves and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan both said TransLink underestimated how much operating cash flow the Canada Line would consume.

Corrigan said TransLink planners were also “badly wrong” about how many drivers would pay to cross the Golden Ears Bridge after giving assurances traffic volumes would be much higher.

“Now, the expectations have been consistently reduced every budget and we’re paying more to deal with the Golden Ears Bridge,” he said.

Corrigan said he fears the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam, scheduled to open in 2016, will also eat up more cash than expected because TransLink will have to ensure adequate feeder bus service to the SkyTrain extension.

He said another “time bomb” ticking in TransLink’s future is its obligation to continue the U-Pass service, which was extended to all postsecondary students last year under orders from the provincial government. That has put much heavier demand on the bus system but an agreement where the province has provided money to help cover the costs expires soon.

Corrigan said if the

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

The number of trips over the Golden Ears Bridge is much lower than was projected. deal isn’t renegotiated, TransLink will be left “holding the bag” or forced to try to raise U-Pass prices.

TransLink’s plan includes a scaled-back launch of the promised Highway 1 RapidBus service from Langley over the new Port Mann Bridge. Instead of terminating at Lougheed Station, it will only go to Braid and the buses will run less frequently than the promised 10-minute service at off-peak times.

Corrigan asked why the bus service doesn’t simply connect to SkyTrain at King George Station in Surrey, noting Vancouver-bound highway buses from South Surrey/White Rock were diverted to Bridgeport Station once the Canada Line opened.

“I have trouble figuring out how these kinds of choices are made,” he said. “Unless it’s the politics of ensuring there’s buses going across the bridge and the optics of the HOV lanes being used.”

TransLink strategic

✁

planning vice-president Bob Paddon said a third of the traffic over the bridge exits for Coquitlam and predicted the Highway 1 buses will be in high demand.

“Our analysis says we’ll have a lot of new riders,” he said. “It will draw from a market that’s not well served by transit today, that is quite car-dependent.”

Pa d d o n a l s o r e jected Corrigan’s claims TransLink staff haven’t done enough to fight for improvements. He said TransLink advanced revenue ideas like a vehicle levy or road pricing that were ultimately blocked by the province.

“Unfortunately, it has not been fruitful,”Paddon said.

“I am hopeful we can get back to that discussion.”

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who supports the Highway 1 bus plan, cautioned Corrigan not to dwell on the past. “Our region’s in danger of stalling,” Froese said. “We’re not going to have the infrastructure in place as the population comes along.”

The committee isn’t endorsing TransLink’s new base plan, saying it doesn’t do enough to support Metro’s regional growth strategy. It does recommend that Metro’s board continue to push for new funding streams for TransLink as well as reform of its governance system.

Area mayors are expected to ask TransLink to give them a formal vote to rescind a $30-million property tax increase slated for the next two years. TransLink would then have to spell out what services would be cut to make up the lost revenue and embark on detailed consultations that could drag into early next year, Paddon said.

Corrigan said he expects the cuts TransLink will table will be calculated to “drive the public crazy” and put intense pressure on the mayors to cave in and keep the tax hike in place.

“It’s an end game they’re playing, saying, ‘We dare you to take this money away.’” jnagel@blackpress.ca

Truckers cut out of half-price Port Mann tolls www.tricitynews.com

Lack of introductory deal for big rigs rankles some

By Jeff Nagel BLack Press

Some truckers are angry they’re the only drivers who aren’t being offered an introductory deal when the new tolled Port Mann Bridge opens in December.

The province last month unveiled half-price tolls for regular motorists until at least the end of February, and those who sign up by then get the 50% discount for a full year.

The discount is 25% off

the $6 toll for light trucks and cars hauling trailers, and one-third off the $1.50 motorcycle toll.

But drivers of semis and tractor trailers get no such break — they’ll pay the full $9 per crossing toll for big rigs from the outset.

“It’s not fair,” said Surrey trucker Jason Law. “There’s nothing for us. Everybody’s getting these discounts except the trucks.”

Law hauls lumber in containers from a north Surrey sawmill to Vancouver port terminals and crosses the Port Mann four to six times a day. At $9 a crossing, he figures he stands to lose up to $12,000 a year since nei-

More than $280 million in federal gas tax that is supposed to flow to TransLink is sitting unused and Metro Vancouver politicians now want some of it to go to building bike lanes.

Since 2005, Ottawa has handed back to TransLink at least half of the 10 cents a litre of gas tax it collects within the Metro region and the money has helped finance hundreds of new and replacement buses and SkyTrain cars.

But TransLink is only allowed to spend the resulting fund on certain types of projects — mainly vehicles — and with its capital spending constrained, the transferred federal gas tax money is stacking up faster than it’s being spent.

An extra $122 million will flow in this year, lifting the total to more than $400 million.

Focus on ‘affordable living,’ says councillor As well, since 2007, the city has adopted an Affordability Housing Reserve Fund, a Mobile Home Park Redevelopment Tenant Assistance Policy, added density bonusing to the C-4 zone (allowing developers to pay a fee when they want to make variances) and implemented a Housing Choices policy, where owners of large residential lots can build more homes on their land.

City staff say they plan to update the housing affordability strategy in two phases: the first part will review the city’s role and potential partnerships with senior levels of government, developers and other stakeholders; that report is due early next year. The second phase will include public input.

The update comes as the city of Vancouver launches its controver-

Among the new policies its city council passed are allowing for 100% rental buildings, homes that are least 20% below market value and six-storey townhouses on arterial roads within 500 m of a shopping district or neighbourhood core.

Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development, told Coquitlam council at its meeting last week that developers building housing close to the Evergreen Line are now given the city’s Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TDS), which council adopted in part this summer.

Food and fear

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

L

ike a nasty computer virus, the XL Foods meat recall is casting a wider net and creating more problems as each day dawns.

From the initial recall of beef processed by the Alberta plant between Aug. 24 and Sept. 5, the beef recall has now extended to thousands of stores. Hundreds of products from ground beef to prepared kebabs are on the donot-eat (or cook-’til-charred) list, even though more than a month has passed since problems were first detected.

As many as 10 E. coli cases in Alberta, Quebec and Newfoundland were linked to beef products from the XL Foods plant, where E. coli was initially detected on Sept. 4, and now a B.C. man has been identified as recovering from the illness caused by eating beef processed at XL Foods. This makes the XL Foods beef recall a national issue requiring a thorough investigation if confidence in the Canadian food system is to be restored.

While not deadly as the Walkerton tragedy, in which seven people died from drinking E. coli-contaminated water, many questions remain about who knew what and when — and what was done about it. The laxity of procedures at the plant and the length of time it took to identify the meat products affected could have put people’s lives in jeopardy.

Initial stock-taking suggests some rigorous analysis of checks and re-checks of food processing systems at XL Foods is required. Other meat processing plants should be subject to review as well. This isn’t unnecessary red-tape and regulation; rather, it’s important for the industry to be able to guarantee that beef processed at plants is safe to eat.

But questions also remain about the three-day lag between the time that Canadian Food Inspection Agency knew of problems of meat imported to the U.S. and when it began alerting the Canadian public. Could more have been done sooner? Let’s hope we find out.

While the ever-expanding recall seems a bit like closing the door after the cow has left the barn, this could be an opportunity to shovel out the manure and start over with a fresh bed of hay.

Skills training ‘our mission,’ NDP’s Dix declares BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA y column on skills training a couple of weeks ago gave short shrift to the NDP position: tax the banks and hand out grants for women’s studies, sociology and other worthless pursuits while skilled jobs go begging.

That’s a pretty crude caricature, so I sat down with NDP leader Adrian Dix in his legislature office last week to get a better sense of his thinking on the subject.

Dix has been devoting a lot of time lately to skills training, particularly in trades. He meets frequently with business people now and his recent speeches emphasize that every one of them talks about the growing shortage of skilled employees.

Dix credits Premier Christy Clark and jobs minister Pat Bell with making some good moves recently, announcing equipment

M

upgrades for vocational programs around the province. He says it’s because the NDP has been“pounding away at them for eight months”about freezing advanced education spending in their March budget. Dix calls that a crucial mistake and predicts the government will reverse it soon.

“So I think, if we’re going to have a mission for four years as a government, if we’re elected, this is the mission: to start to address the skills shortage,”Dix told me.

In his speech to the recent municipal convention, and again at an NDP provincial council meeting, Dix zeroed in on B.C.’s apprenticeship system. Since the BC Liberals took it from trade unions in 2004 and set up a Crown corporation called the Industry Training Authority, the completion rate for apprentices has fallen to 37%, he said.

Dix assured me he isn’t proposing to“blow up”the ITA or hand control back to unions but said they will have“a voice,”along with business.

Speaking to the NDP executive, Dix referred to Phil Hochstein, president of the non-

We’ll give you that beautiful

! e l i m Tree Day – cut ’em down S The Editor, Sept. 26 was National Tree Day, a day for all Canadians to appreciate the great benefits that trees provide us with: clean air, wildlife habitat, reduced energy demand and a connection with nature.

In case you were wondering what was happening in Coquitlam on National Tree day, I’m sorry to say that it was not a good one for the trees, as another lot of beautiful second-growth conifers (at Westwood Street and Lincoln Avenue) was bulldozed to make way for yet more development.

Despite the many concerns expressed to council by both Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam residents — including tree loss, traffic problems, pollution, loss of wildlife habitat and privacy problems — the controversial development was unanimously approved by council earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Coquitlam council has also approved another development on Burke Mountain in an area bordered by creeks and intends to see the mountain developed with 20,000 residents over the next 15 to 20 years.

It’s not as though any of this is surprising given Coquitlam council’s track record but it sure is ironic that the trees and their benefits that we were meant to celebrate on Sept. 26 were being destroyed in Coquitlam.

Jane Thomsing, Port Coquitlam

Neighbours The Editor, Re. “Hate is wrapped in bacon” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 3).

When a friend is insulted, I too feel the anguish.

When a friend is treated with disrespect and acerbity, I too feel the pangs of thorns as much as my friend.

When a friend is brutalized, my dignity is tarnished along side of theirs.

When a friend invites me in openness to share who they are and what they believe, I welcome the opportunity to grow in wisdom and trust.

When a friend reaches out to me to let me know what is in their soul and what makes them walk with dignity, I too walk with greater dignity.

Respect and acceptance of differences is the basis of community and the core of Canadian values.

I pray that all Muslims, and especially those at Masjid Al-Hidayah and Islamic Cultural Centre in Port Coquitlam, be blessed as we share friendship one with another. May those who prey upon them with senseless pranks or vandalism that verges on hate learn to respect our neighbours.

Quarter of B.C. refugees settled in Tri-Cities The Tri-Cities continue to be a top destination for refugees, according to statistics provided by the Immigrant Services Society of BC. Of the 196 government-assisted refugees who arrived in B.C. be-

tween July 1 and Sept. 30 of this year, 35, or 24%, moved to Coquitlam.

B u r n a by, S u r r ey, New Westminster and Vancouver were other top destinations, receiving 33, 20, 28 and 15 refugees respectively, for

a total of 196 since the summer.

In all, approximately 1,000 refugees have arrived in B.C. since the beginning of 2012, according to ISSBC. The top five source countries for refugees

during this time period were Iran (38%), Afghanistan (25%), Somalia (15%), Iraq (9%) and Cote d’Ivoire (4%).

The closing of the Canadian embassy in Damascus and the transfer of immigration-

related matters to Turkey and Jordan have resulted in a processing delay that could reduce refugee numbers in the coming months.

Coquitlam, meanwhile, is doing its part to help with the settlement

of refugees and other recent immigrants. Last week, the city held a welcome event for newcomers to Coquitlam to inform them about the municipality’s services and programs. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Man recovers from E. coli linked to XL First case in this province tied to massive recall of products

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

A Vancouver Island man is B.C.’s first confirmed case of the E. coli strain that has spread through contaminated beef processed by the shuttered XL Foods plant in Alberta.

The B.C. Centre For Disease Control said it is continuing to investigate to determine the exact source of the infection after receiving lab confirmation of the case.

The man has since recovered from the illness and is one of more than

10 Canadians who have become sick in the wake of the biggest beef recall in the country’s history.

B.C. routinely detects 110 to 180 cases of the 0157:H7 strain of E. coli each year and BCCDC officials said there has been no detected increase in those numbers in recent months.

Officials urge consumers to discard any beef products in their home that are on the Canadian Fo o d I n s p e c t i o n Agency’s latest expanded list of recalled products that originated through XL Foods but were sold by virtually every major B.C. grocer under many other brand names.

For details on the more than 1,500 recalled products, including iden-

tifying UPC codes and best-before dates, see: http://inspection.gc.ca/recalls_XLFoods.

E. coli infection may cause mild to severe symptoms including diarrhea and stomach cramps. In severe cases diarrhea may become bloody.

Symptoms start an average of three to four days after exposure to the bacteria, and usually last between five to 10 days. Rarely, it can lead to kidney failure and death.

Health authorities also advise consumers to cook raw beef to at least 71 C and to avoid cross-contamination by keeping hands, knives, cutting boards and other surfaces clean. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Court rejects BC Liberals’ election spending limits Province won’t challenge appeals court’s decision

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. Court of Appeal has rejected a second attempt by the BC Liberal government to restrict third-party election advertising before the next provincial election.

In a ruling released last Thursday, the threejudge panel unanimously concluded that extending restrictions for 40 days before the formal 28-day election campaign is still an undue infringement on freedom of expression. An earlier restriction, extending 60 days before the 2009 election campaign, was struck down after a group of public sector unions challenged it in court.

Attorney General Shirley Bond said last Thursday the government will not appeal the latest ruling or attempt new restrictions in advance of

the May 14, 2013 vote.

Bond said the latest legislation met some of the court’s tests of fairness but the government was not able to show that third-party advertising had unduly influenced voters in B.C. She said the U.S. election system shows what can happen when unlimited spending by wealthy interest groups dominates elections.

“I think the court has provided us with a very thorough analysis and clear reasons, and have concluded that any restrictions to the advertising in the pre-election period is unconstitutional,” Bond said. “We sent this case to the B.C. Court of Appeal for advice and we are going to accept that advice.”

Former attorney general Wally Oppal made the original amendments to the B.C. Elections Act in 2008, saying they were needed to prevent election debates from being “hijacked by third parties.” The amendments limited political parties

to spending $2.2 million in the 60 days before the official 28-day election campaign, with advocacy groups such as unions and business groups allowed to spend only $150,000 during that period.

Oppal, his successors Mike de Jong and Bond have all argued that more restrictions are needed since B.C. went to scheduled elections every four

years, which allow interest groups to time their advertising to avoid the caps imposed during a formal 28-day campaign.

The BC Teachers’ Federation, BC Nurses’ Union, Canadian Union of Public Employees and Federation of PostSecondary Educators originally challenged the spending restrictions in court. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Union-sponsored election signs from the 2005 provincial campaign target the BC Liberal Party without naming it.

Unite or get out of party, says Cummins letter calls on conservative leader to quit

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

BC Conservative leader John Cummins has issued an ultimatum to dissident party members who continue to agitate for a replacement: unite behind him or get out.

The showdown comes as more Conservative insiders are public opposing Cummins continuing as leader.

“Those few but vocal party members who are critical of my leadership and do not support me have until 12:00 noon, Wednesday, to either get on-side or quit our party and join another,” Cummins said in a news release.

Those who leave by the deadline will be refunded membership fees and any donations made within the last year, he said.

Cummins said his dedication to the BC Conservatives is “unwavering” and that he fully intends to lead the party into next May’s provincial election.

“I’m not going anywhere,”he said.

Cummins cited last month’s 70 per cent vote of party members against a leadership review as evidence of a “solid majority” behind him, but the split in the party continues to fester.

A leaked letter sent to Cummins Tuesday from Allison Patton and Ariane Eckardt – the party’s constituency association presidents in Surrey-White Rock and Burnaby North, respectively – pleads for him to quit and give the Tories a new chance to win back voters.

In it, Patton and Eckardt say there are there are now 20 local presidents asking Cummins to resign.

“We want you to know we are not leaving,” they wrote.“But we ask, for the sake of the party, that you do.”

They’re also holding Cummins responsible for the “exorcising and excommunicating” of dissident Tories who they said have apparently been deemed “enemies” by party officials.

John Martin, the former Conservative candidate in Chilliwack-Hope, defected to the Liberals last month and the party’s lone MLA – former BC Liberal John van Dongen – quit the Tories after the AGM vote.

“This division has cost us our only sitting MLA and the possibility of having others who were ready to cross,” the PattonEckhardt letter says.

“These missed opportunities cannot be undone.”

Party president Al Siebring said the leadership issue was settled last month and the party will run under Cummins in the 2013 election. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Libraries can be mysterious. Really A GOOD READ Barbara Buxton

O

ctober is Library Month and contrary to popular belief, libraries can be exciting places.You might be surprised to find that novels set in and around libraries can be downright mysterious, humourous and fascinating.

For example, have a look at a new mystery by Catherine Shaw called The Library Paradox, in which a famous anti-Semitic professor is found shot in his own library in 1896. Detective Vanessa Weatherburn is called in to discover whether the young Jewish man arrested was in fact the murderer.

For something both mysterious and thought-provoking, try The Borrower

by Rebecca Makkai. A young children’s librarian finds herself both kidnapper and kidnapped when

she decides to help a young patron who has run away from his home and overbearing mother. Allowing young Ian to hijack her, Lucy embarks on a long road trip with the lad but finds they are being followed by a strange man.

In a quirky mix of detective story, fantasy and literature, Jasper Fforde’s series of books features literary detective Thursday Next, whose mission is to protect the stories and characters of famous books, which can be affected and

Wilson Centre Dental Clinic

changed by people in the real world. In The Well of Lost Plots, she finds herself in the 26 fusty sub-basements of the Great Library of Britain doing battle with evil corporate bibliophobes who are the greatest threat to the world’s fiction.

On a similar theme, a more classic fantasy is the trilogy beginning with The Destruction of the Books,

by Mel Odom, in which a lowly librarian named Wick has to deal with a great evil that is bent on destroying all the books in theVault of All Known Knowledge.

If you prefer to read more realistic novels, have a look at The Camel Bookmobile. In this story, young Fiona tells her parents she wants to do something that matters and heads off to Africa to help start a traveling library. With her bookmobile, Fiona goes into areas where the people have never held a book. But her western values and outlook

become a hindrance when she finds herself in the midst of struggles within a community that she does not understand.

You might also enjoy The Ladies’ Lending Library

by Janice Kulyk Keefer, in which a group of newly middle class Ukrainian immigrant mothers and daughters spend the summer of 1963 sharing“racy” books that challenge some of their community values.

Innocence begins to give way to a world of new possibilities as well as stronger relationships among the women.

No need to stop at fiction. A must-read is Dewey, librarian Vicki Myron’s true story of a captivating kitten that was stuffed into the book drop of a small town library and stayed to make his home there.

Dewey’s heartwarming story put Spencer, Iowa on the map and made the feline into a national celebrity. Equally enjoyable is

the sequel, Dewey’s Nine Lives.

Lastly, the stereotypical view of libraries and librarians is challenged with a delightful back-room look at the ups and downs of library work with Marilyn Johnson’s This Book is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All. A Good Read is a column

by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday.

Barbara Buxton is with Port Moody Public Library.

Teens, the annual Scary Story Contest, sponsored Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and The Tri-City News, is on.

The two age categories are: 11 to 14 years and 15 to 18 years, and the entry deadline is Sunday, Oct. 21.

Winners in each category will be awarded prizes worth $75 (first), $50 (second) and $25 (third). Some of their entries will also be published in The TriCity News on Oct. 31.

A salute to Studio D

By Janis Warren

Centennial secondary grad Jenn Strom will have her animated short, called Assembly, shown at the Vancouver International Film Festival this week. Produced by Tracey Friesen, the experimental short is written and directed by Strom and features paint-on-glass animation. The flick was inspired by Studio D filmmakers and is decidated to the memory of Kathleen Shannon, who worked for the studio at the National Film Board.

enn Strom always wanted to work for the National Film Board.

For years, the Centennial secondary graduate and freelance editor and director had chased Tracey Friesen, the executive director of the NFB’s Pacific and Yukon Centre, hoping the two would connect some day.

And, in the fall of 2010, opportunity knocked when Friesen was looking for an emerging female filmmaker to tell the story about Studio D, the NFB’s women’s documentary production lab.

Friesen asked Strom to watch some Studio D films and create a contemporary short. “It was totally open for me to do a riff on whatever content I wanted to do,”Strom said,“which was a dream.”

Before the assignment, Strom had never heard of Studio D. Formed in 1974 to make films by, for and about women, Studio D’s aim was to promote females amid the women’s liberation movement of the late 1960s and ‘70s.

One of its founding members was Kathleen Shannon, who joined the NFB in 1956 and was appointed the executive director of Studio D — at the time, the first government-funded film studio in the world that was dedicated to women filmmakers.

Strom used Shannon as her main character for her animated tribute, titled Assembly. “I told the story through her point of view because I work as an editor and Kathleen Shannon worked as an editor for years,” Strom said of the late filmmaking pioneer. “She was a very good editor and sound designer yet, prior to Studio D, she was training all these men and watching them get promoted and given raises while she just stayed in the same place.”

In her research, Strom said she found

clips of Shannon“talking about these moments where she would say, ‘This is really beautiful’ and she would have these male superiors leaning over her shoulder saying ‘No, it’s boring. Who wants to look at that?’ It’s the difference between the stories that women might find valuable and the stories that the men, who were in control, wanted to shine a spotlight on.”

“The idea for this film came from that moment,”Strom said.

Under Shannon’s guidance in part, Studio D produced more than 125 films — including three Academy-award winners: I’ll Find A Way (1978); If You Love This Planet (1982); and Flamenco at 5:15 (1984) — before it shut its doors in 1996 because of government funding cuts.

For Assembly, Strom painted 1,200 pieces on glass with oil and a marker. The “labour of love,” as she describes it, was done part-time while Strom worked as a promotions producer and editor for the Knowledge Network, BBC Kids and on other projects.

A Vancouver resident who trained with Don Portelance (the now-retired art teacher at Centennial secondary), the Gulf Islands Film and Television School on Galiano Island and at the Vancouver Film School, Strom said Assembly has been well received.

Last month, the four-and-a-half minute flick debuted at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival. This week, it will be screened as part of the Vancouver International Film Festival, and at the 23rd annual St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival next week — an event that Strom will be attending.

• Assembly can be seen tonight (Wednesday) at 9:15 p.m. at Empire Granville 7 Cinemas and Thursday at 3:45 p.m. at Pacific Cinémathèque in Vancouver. To view a clip, visit www.nfb. ca/film/assembly_clip/credits.

Offence on fire in Cents victory

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

When a football team puts 54 points on the scoreboard it is generally a safe bet that they are going to win the game.

But the Centennial Centaurs lead was far from safe when as the team headed into the fourth quarter Friday night against the New Westminster Hyacks.

The Cents were as strong on offence as they were weak on defence, surrendering 40 points to their opponents and keeping the game much closer than head coach Ryk Piche had hoped.

“Obviously we need to work on the defence,” he told The Tri-City News.

“There is a lot of adjustments to make. When you put 50 plus points on the board, you don’t expect it to be close.”

But while the coach had concerns about his club’s offence, he lavished praise on his team’s ability to move the ball up the field.

Without the services of starting quarterback Nick Okamoto, who was in California for family reasons, Piche relied on an injured Justin Buren to run the offence in the first half.

Buren was able to connect with teammate Nathan Lund often, allowing the receiver to snag 18 carries for 326 yards and four touchdowns.

In the second half, Lund replaced Buren at quarterback, and the Cents continued to pile up the points.

“Coming in with a backup and a third string quarterback, I think we did a great job,” Piche said. “It kind of changes the dynamic a lot when you don’t have your starter.”

A’s Dinsdale headed to the NLL

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Matthew Dinsdale will be logging a lot of frequent flyer points this National Lacrosse League season.

The former Coquitlam Jr. Adanac was selected seventh overall in the NLL draft by the Calgary Roughnecks, but said he will continue to live in the Lower Mainland where he is completing his fourth year of a kinesiology degree at Simon Fraser University.

“I’m sure it will be tough but it will be

DiNsDaLe

worth it,” Dinsdale told The Tri-City News. “ I ’ m going to be taking a lighter

course load.”

Because most of the the NLL games take place on the weekend, Dinsdale plans to fly to his games on the weekend, before returning home for classes and studying on Monday.

Fo r t h e C a l g a ry Roughnecks, the 21-year-old forward is worth accommodating.

Last year, Dinsdale led the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League, racking up 38 goals and 57 assists. What is more impressive is that he accumulated the points in 16 regular season games, four fewer than second overall scorer and fellow Adanac Reid Reinholdt.

Dinsdale, who also played in four Minto Cups with the Adanacs, knows that he will be facing some tougher competition when gets to the National Lacrosse League.

“It will be an adjustment,” he said. “The games are going to be a

lot faster. The guys there are older, smarter, bigger, stronger.”

Dinsdale said he was looking forward to the challenge and has been busy training for the opportunity. He has been working hard for the opportunity and added that although the Roughnecks are a deep team, he believes he will be able to crack the roster.

When he arrives in Calgary, there will be at least one familiar face to greet him.

Roughnecks head coach and assistant general manager Curt

Malawsky coached Dinsdale when he played with the Adanacs and said the rookie will bolster the team in many areas.

“He plays very well in the front end, can take face-offs, can play a transition role and is surprisingly very intelligent on the back end and knows the defensive system,” Malawsky said. “Good people make good teams and Matthew is a great teammate and a great person.

He works very hard at the gym and has a very high lacrosse IQ.” sports@tricitynews.com

The Centennial Centaurs downed the New Westminster Hyacks 54-40 in a high scoring affair on Friday night.

Centaurs win with backups continued from page 18

J.P. Calambay had more than 100 yards rushing, while Isaiah Stewart scored a receiving touchdown on a 34 yard run.

And while while the Centaurs did allow New West to score 40 points, Piche noted several promising signs from the defensive side of the ball.

Joey Hogg had 11 tackles and Lund also played an important role in trying to stop the Hyacks offence, tallying 16 tackles on defence.

“Nathan was phenomenal,” Piche said.

“You see guys like this come around once in a blue moon.”
