The Tri-Cities were rocking on the weekend as Port Coquitlam and Port Moody hosted their big centennial events. PoCo closed out Saturday’s Homecoming Weekend festivities with a performance from Canadian rockers Trooper (top) while PoMo marked its 100th birthday by holding a big picnic and Rocky Point Park that finished with the bangs and flashes of fireworks, and also featured music, including a performance by the Pids, who had Terri Scarfo (above left) and sister Tammy singing along to their version of Cheap Trick’s classic “I Want You To Want Me.”
Money talks for B.C. political parties when it comes to securing — or retaining — Tri-City ridings in the May provincial election. The BC NDP, widely touted to win the election under leader Adrian Dix, and its local constituency associations poured $303,025 into the campaigns for Mike Farnworth and Selina Robinson, who won, and Joe Trasolini and Chris Wilson, who lost. Trasolini, the former Port Moody mayor who won the Port MoodyCoquitlam riding in a 2012 byelection, received the most from the party out of the four NDP candidates. According to financial disclosure papers unveiled this week, Trasolini took $104,198
BC Liberals out-spent NDP by $2M: page 4 in party transfers and spent $102,064 on his reelection bid — including $40,700 on salaries before and during his unsuccessful campaign. Robinson, a former Coquitlam city councillor, gained $83,631 in party transfers to win NDP MLA Diane Thorne’s seat in CoquitlamMaillardville. She received $20,962 in donations and spent $97,291, including $23,558 in wages; her campaign ended with a judicial recount against BC Liberal opponent Steve Kim, who was initially declared the winner. see JUST $20K, page 4

PORT COQUITLAM PARTIES: City celebrates centennial with Homecoming Weekend and car show
Wasn’t that a party in Port Coquitlam on the weekend. Saturday’s Homecoming Events included performances from the likes of Arrival, an ABBA tribute band (top left), at the rec complex and children’s entertainers Bobs and Lolo (top right) at Leigh Square. The day also featured heritage train rides, with PoCo Heritage Society members Karon Fuson and Bryan Ness (right) acting as conductors (and check out the old schedule board from Coquitlam Station, far right). The annual auto show brought tens of thousands to downtown PoCo to check out some sweet rides (above and far right) and featured performances by Darren Lee as Elvis as well as a strong-man competition in which Daniel Murphy from PoCo took part.

The BC Liberals spent $11.75 million this year on their way to a come-from-behind provincial election victory. The governing party, which listed $8.5 million in donations, outspent the NDP, which listed spending of $9.4 million and received $9.7 million. The disclosures released by Elections BC Monday include amounts spent before the formal 60-day campaign period when specific limits apply. The BC Liberals spent more in advance of the May 15 election and, within the 60-day campaign, they spent nearly $4.3 million to the NDP’s $4.1 million. Corporate contributors gave $5 million in donations to the BC Liberals, followed by individuals at $2.4 million, unincorporated businesses at $420,000 and $385,000 from other sources. BC NDP got nearly $2.6 million from individuals, $2.5 million from trade unions and $2.1 million from corporations. The Green Party of B.C., which won its historic first seat in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, did so on spending of just $180,000. The Greens spent more than the BC Conservative Party, which listed $155,000 in expenses. The central party expenses don’t count the additional spending at the local level by individual candidates or constituency associations. Organizations that filed expense reports as election advertising sponsors ranged from large groups like the BC Teachers’ Federation and the Mining Association of BC to tiny ones like Kamloops Moms for Clean Air and Denman Opposes Coal.
Just $20k spent for Lu continued from front page
NDP veteran MLA Mike Farnworth received $68,398 in party transfers to keep his Port Coquitlam riding. He amassed $17,558 in donations and spent $86,213, including $13,159 in salaries. And political newbie Chris Wilson got $46,798 from the party to run against incumbent Douglas Horne in Coquitlam-Burke Mountain — a riding the NDP had graded as a “D” to indicate its chances of winning in the BC Liberal stronghold. The documents show Wilson collected $12,846 in donations from CAW Local 114, the Health Sciences Association and BCGEU, and spent $55,655, including $20,344 in wages. On the BC Liberal side, the party contributed $214,477 to its four Tri-City candidates, with Horne reaping the most at $79,326. He collected $12,975 in donations and spent $97,947 on items such as salaries ($18,250) and promotional material ($18,213). Linda Reimer, another Coquitlam city councillor, had $65,080 in party transfers in her successful bid to unseat Trasolini.

Coquitlam and NW debate bailey bridge future By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
City managers for Coquitlam and New Westminster will meet in two weeks for talks on the aging bailey bridge that links the two municipalities. Bill Susak, Coquitlam’s general
manager of engineering and public works, said discussions will come in the first week of September in an effort to hammer out solutions for the one-lane wooden bridge. In May, Coquitlam city council called on the provincial government to help get the single-
lane bridge replaced and asked the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development for a dispute resolution process. Coquitlam wants the deteriorating 18-year-old link temporarily con-
verted into two lanes at a cost of $1.7 million. The move came after a structural engineer earlier this year said the bridge had to come down by late 2014 because of wear and tear from the 10,000 vehicles
that use it daily. In response, the Royal City’s council passed its own resolution asking for direct talks with Coquitlam, B.C.’s transportation ministry and TransLink to work on a regional transportation
plan for the Braid Street industrial area, where the bailey bridge traffic flows. Yesterday (Tuesday), Jim Lowrie, New West’s director of engineering, told The Tri-City News, “Any time you get two
parties together to talk, that’s a good thing. My expectation is that we will share information with each other... and we can resolve this before the dispute resolution process starts.” jwarren@tricitynews.com
Traffic map taps cellphone signals By Jeff Nagel BlaCk Press
A new online traffic map for the Lower Mainland has been unveiled that anonymously tracks cellphone signals to calculate and display congestion levels in real time. According to the transportation ministry, personal data from cellphones is removed before being incorporated in the map’s data system, but privacy advocates have expressed concern. The map is on the translink.ca and drivebc. ca websites. It was developed by #
TransLink and the $1.2 million cost was shared by the federal and provincial governments. Major arteries are colour coded, with red indicating very slow traffic and green showing it’s moving smoothly. It’s also expected to help various agencies study traffic flows in Metro Vancouver. The map covers Highway 1 from H o r s e s h o e B ay t o Chilliwack, Highway 99 from the Peace Arch to Whistler, as well as all other numbered highways and major commuter routes in the region. jnagel@blackpress.ca FREE LESSON Call

FHA centralizes seniors info resources available through one phone number By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Fraser Health has made it easier for families to locate services to help seniors stay independent and in their homes longer. Information about resources and referral services has been centralized and people can now call 1-855-412-2121 daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to speak with trained, multi-lingual staff. Carl Meadows, director of clinical programs for home health, said callers can find out about support services or arranging for a clinic or home visit for further assessment. Some of the supports that can be provided are help with: • home support (bathing/grooming/toileting/ feeding); • in-home health care; • nursing clinics in all communities; • day programs for seniors; • services to give caregivers a break. Having only one number to call improves and streamlines client sup-
port, said Meadows. “Our philosophy is ‘home is best,’” Meadows said, noting that people can get help developing a plan so elderly people can stay independent and at home longer, even after a hospital stay, or when they are having difficulties looking after themselves. The new centralized system has also been integrated with B.C.’s acute care hospitals so people can return home more easily with appropriate nursing and other supports. But Meadows advises people not to wait for a health emergency to plan for assistance for their loved one. “We don’t want them to wait until their mother has fallen, humans are like this, particularly around caregiver burnout. Families will adjust and move their lives around incredibly, and then they’re on the burning platform. Humans don’t do a lot of pre-planning.” Among the questions people ask themselves are: Can mom stay home safely by herself? Who will help Dad with his personal care when I’m at work? I no longer think I can live at home alone. I think I need some help, but what is
available? Meadows said Home Health Service Line staff can make suggestions and refer a client for a clinic or home assessment. The new number is already in service for new clients, but current Home Health users can continue to call their local Home Health office for assistance. People can also call 211 to look for community, social or government services. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Instances of rain not yet enough to lower fire risk the wildfires in the province.
By Jason Roessle The Tri-CiTy News
Despite the recent precipitation the forest fire risk remains elevated and residents are reminded to remain vigilant. Coquitlam Fire and Rescue Chief Wade Pierlot said Friday that the smatterings of rain in the area last week have done little to improve dry conditions in local forests. “[The rain] has provided some psychological relief” but there hasn’t been enough to thoroughly seep into the soil, he said. Any rain that has fallen has merely been soaked up by the ground. Pierlot said his crews have been responding to a number of boulevard fires, common at this time of year, which are generally caused by cigarette butts tossed out by motorists. The Coastal Fire Centre (CFC) says this area’s risk rating is moderate but there are still restrictions on campfires and open fires. The CFC, a part of the Wildfire Management Branch of the provincial government, said careless campfire use is one

Andrea Lyons helps her four-year-old daughter Paige try on a helmet at the KidSport Tri-Cities used sporting goods sale Saturday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex in Coquitlam. KidSport executive director Chris Wilson said the event was “our most successful sale to date,” raising more than $20,000 to help 88 less-fortunate kids get into sports. More than 1,300 people attended the Coquitlam sale — and 500 of them came through the doors in the first 10 minutes, Wilson said. As well, non-perishable goods were collected for the Share food bank. The next sale is set for early 2014.
RCH, Surrey to test vaccine By Jeff Nagel Black Press
Two Lower Mainland hospitals that have battled high rates of C. difficile infection in recent years will be part of the first full clinical trials for a vaccine against the bacteria. Patients who are at Royal Columbian Hospital and Surrey Memorial Hospital will be offered the vaccine. Fraser Health officials
say the vaccine attacks the toxins that damage the bowel and early data shows it may produce a positive response from the body to fight off the diarrhea-causing infection, even in the elderly. C. difficile kills 2,000 Canadians a year and authorities are concerned about new strains that have developed in Quebec and are thought linked to many deaths. “This is an exciting opportunity to get on top of
this nasty organism,” said Fraser Health chief medical health officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder. “It costs the health care system millions of dollars to treat and control this organism, not to mention the cost to patients. We are looking forward to running a trial of the vaccine and work towards better managing this everincreasing challenge.” The trial will begin near the end of August and continue for 30
months. Patients expected to be in hospital over the next 60 days will be asked to participate. And others who have been in hospital at least twice over the last 12 months and have taken antibiotics will also be recruited. Several Fraser Health hospitals conducted intensified cleaning operations in 2012 in response to higher than average C. difficile infection rates. jnagel@blackpress.ca

In the cards
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
I
gnore for a minute that TransLink may just be the nearest punching bag for all that’s wrong in the world, including transit. TransLink is about to launch its biggest innovation — the new Compass card to replace cash fares and the Faresaver system — and, come on, can’t we give this much-maligned transportation authority some time to get it right? The $180-million electronic ticketing system got dumped all over last week because it turns out bus users who pay with cash fares will have to pay a second time to get on SkyTrain. It’s too costly to retrofit buses with terminals allowing cash purchases of a single Compass ticket that will work on the whole transit system. This could place a financial hardship on about 6,000 people a day who start their trip on buses and don’t want to pay a $6 deposit for a Compass Card. But here’s the thing: If those riders who prefer cash fares could be convinced to get a Compass card, the new system would be more efficient and the money paid to get the system running will be a good investment. What’s more, an incentive, similar to discounts provided by TReO to win over drivers on the new Port Mann Bridge, will get more early adopters and smooth the transition. Right now, people are anxious; they don’t understand how the Compass card will work and they worry about being inconvenienced. TreO took care of that, too, by making it easy for people to sign up online. We don’t yet know what the fares will be and here, too, TransLink must be on top of its game, ensuring that it’s no more expensive to ride transit with Compass than with the old system. The fact is, the Compass card is coming. It’s being tested in a few weeks and will roll out gradually next year. It will end fare abuse because it works in tandem with turnstiles, and if efficiently introduced, will match world-class systems used elsewhere, such as in London, where the Oyster card is ubiquitous. But a clear, concise and multi-platform public relations plan, along with discounts, will be required to ensure a relatively seamless transition.
Pressure on for expanded skills training in B.C. BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA dvanced Education Minister Amrik Virk has offered some advice for students heading for post-secondary education this fall. In a commentary sent to B.C. newspapers,Virk reminded students that his task“is to ensure post-secondary students obtain the experience and qualifications needed to put a paycheque in their back pocket.” B.C. is forecast to have one million jobs to fill by 2020 through a combination of retirements and economic growth. More than 40% of those jobs will require trades and technical training, and for students, likely a move north. “My advice to students is to look at where the jobs are based and tailor their education and training to match,”Virk wrote.“Our population is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island but. as a resource-based economy, many directly and
A
indirectly related jobs are located elsewhere.” That’s not the only blunt message for students deciding on a career. While defending his ministry’s spending plans in the recent legislature session,Virk described some of the problems that are entrenched. Parents, particularly in immigrant communities, push their children towards medicine, law, dentistry or engineering, he noted. Students themselves gravitate toward areas that are familiar to them, such as teaching. B.C. universities graduated 2,000 new teachers last year. Another 850 arrived from out of province and were licensed to teach in B.C. During the same year, the B.C. school system hired 800 teachers, many of those jobs outside metropolitan areas. It has been hammered into us by the B.C. government’s endless“jobs plan”advertising, and a similar campaign by Ottawa, that more students need to focus on trades and resource industries.Virk acknowledges that his budget contains another $1 million for advertising, the same as last year, much of it to reinforce the need to fill skilled jobs. But he danced around

Comparison to europe’s system childish The Editor, One of TransLink’s talking heads justified the cancellation of free transfers between buses and SkyTrain by pointing out that London and Paris transit systems don’t have them either. Is he aware that the network of buses and subways in both places are such a dense grid that it is possible to travel all over town with one system only? He also brags that the Compass card will give us a
14% discount over cash fares. But the discount is a lot more than 14% in London and Paris’ fares list is simpler than that of the London system, though still extensive. Tickets with a magnetic strip are used for a single trip on both the Metro and the RER (express suburban train) within Paris itself, and also for buses and tramways. This ticket doesn’t allow transfers from bus to metro or from tram to metro but allows transfers to other modes
within Paris. Most commuters buy a pass loaded in a transit smart card called Navigo, which is cheaper if bought for the year (paid monthly). At any rate comparing Metro Vancouver’s transit system to these two giant systems is childish. Both carry over a billion passengers a year on the metro/tube — and then there are the buses, trams, commuter trains and more. We should instead look at
towns with a smaller population than Metro Vancouver that do allow free transfer between their various transit modes. Their validators have both a sensor for a transit smart card and a slot for tickets with a magnetic strip. In addition, transit systems in many European towns are the responsibility of the mayor and councillors, who get an earful whenever something goes wrong and, therefore, have an incentive to make transit a practical, if not
always pleasant, experience. How approachable are TransLink Board members? Do they even use transit regularly? And why is it that Metro Vancouver’s small transit system needs a $400,000-per-year board chair when the London transit system is only one of the many responsibilities of the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, whose current salary is £143,911 per year (around $230,000)?

Fireworks delay due to radio issue Windsor Plywood 11,000 people estimated at PoMo evening event By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
The fireworks display over Port Moody Inlet last Saturday for the city’s 100th anniversary party was held back because of problems with the radio station that was simulcasting the music. CKPM 98.7 FM, a PoMo-based station, was supposed to have timed the music at 9:30 p.m. for the pyrotechnics by Archangel Fireworks, which has produced shows for the Celebration of Light in Vancouver and Coquitlam’s Canada Day festivities. But yesterday, the city of Port Moody said the local radio station had “technical difficulties”that caused the fireworks to start 20 minutes late. “But once the show started, 11,000 people in Rocky Point Park enjoyed a great display in the sky,” said Dave Teixeira, a city spokesperson. CKPM licence owner Matthew McBride said he was running the radio station that night and the computer froze and required a reboot. McBride officially opened CKPM last N ove m b e r a f t e r a

More than 10,000 people watched the fireworks display Saturday night in the waters off Rocky Point Park to mark the city of Port Moody’s centennial. four-year process. In December, he told The Tri-City News, “I’m very happy it’s on the air... it’s the relief of having achieved a goal that has taken a very long time. We’re open for business and looking forward to making friends with the community.” Earlier this month, morning broadcaster Dave Cannon and Laura Fraser, who ran the midday show, resigned from the radio station. On Tuesday, McBride denied there are any financial problems with the business. “We’re in start-up stage,” he said.

Test fishing Dog bite leads curtailed due to city lawsuit to weak run Man claims attack by shelter dog By Janis Warren
By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Lower-than-hoped returns of Fraser River sockeye and dangerously hot water temperatures upstream have prompted fishery managers to curtail test fishing in a bid to let as many salmon spawn as possible. About 82,000 sockeye have already been caught through test fisheries and those salmon are sold to help offset the $1.4-million cost of the test program, which is critical to gauging the strength of incoming runs. Pa c i f i c S a l m o n Commission chief biologist Mike Lapointe said Wednesday about half of test fishing operations have now been cancelled. And three seine boats that continue to test fish offshore are now ordered to release nearly all sockeye after counting them instead of harvesting them. “We’re trying to be good citizens and minimize our impact,” Lapointe said. Asked why test fishing wasn’t adjusted earlier, he said the commission acted quickly once it became apparent continued hot, dry weather would pose a major risk. “As soon as we knew we had a bad situation we acted as fast as we could,” Lapointe said. “Ideally, in perfect hindsight, it would have been nice if we could have stopped sooner but there was no way for us to anticipate that.” Although the test fishing program is $200,000 short of the revenue to cover its expenses, Lapointe said conservation, not budget concerns, guided the timing of the decision. Sto:lo fishery advisor Ernie Crey said first nations have argued for catch-and-release test fishing for years, adding it would have reduced pressure on threatened Fraser stocks. “Far more fish would have been up the Fraser River in all the intervening years,” Crey said. “It’s better late than never. Finally they do the right thing at a time when fish runs are perilously low.” There’s been no commercial and sport fishing for Fraser sockeye this summer with no prospect for any unless the main summer run merely turns out to be late in arriving. Lapointe said there are some signs that may be the case. But even then, deadly high river water tempera-
tures of more than 21 degrees now threaten to kill up to 70% of incoming sockeye before they can spawn, meaning many more must be allowed to swim upriver to compensate. “We’re expecting only on the order of a third of these fish to survive their journey up the Fraser to the spawning areas,” Lapointe said. As a result, he said, there’s a “significant risk” that no more sockeye may end up spawning this year than in the disastrous 2009 season that triggered the Cohen Inquiry. Sockeye run on a fouryear cycle, so the fish now migrating are the offspring of the 2009 run, and it had been hoped this would be the year that run started to rebuild. The main summer run of Fraser sockeye is estimated at two million and although Lapointe said that may climb it may not be enough.

A Vancouver resident is suing the city of Coquitlam after he was allegedly bit by a dog from the Coquitlam animal shelter. Last week, Jae Hyon Kim filed a civil suit in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, claiming he was hurt by a shelter dog named Lucy while it was being walked by a volunteer last December in Mundy Park. The city has yet to file a statement of defence and none of Kim’s claims have been proven in court. According to the court document, Kim was in the park with his wife when the dog attacked him. He states in his claim that he “continues to suffer injury, loss and expense” as a result of the bite to his left leg that left a puncture wound, cuts, bruises and scars. His document states the dog was impounded to the city last October and, the following month, it attacked and bit another dog. The statement of claim alleges the city failed “to take any or reasonable precautions that Lucy was properly restrained and controlled and not a physical threat to the plaintiff” given its past violent behaviour. Kim’s claim also states he suffers from posttraumatic stress and depression because of the incident, and he is now undergoing medical and rehabilitative treatment. Kim is asking the city to pay for his damages and costs. City solicitor Heather Bradfield said yesterday the city has no comment on the lawuit.

Happy 100th, PoMo Port Moody’s centennial celebrations had always popular Rocky Point Park hopping Saturday, with activities and entertainment for all ages. For some, it may have been too much as, following a full day of fun and games, one-yearold Fischer Smith (top left) could think of nothing better than a nice nap on dad Cam’s chest. Four-year-old Ava Rhyne (top right), meanwhile, focuses on the finish line during the sack race competition while Anelle Tait, 7, (far right) demonstrates her hula hoop skills. And the Pids (right) set the tone for a rocking good time at Rocky Point.

New patients only
Jane can help with such problems as: • Arthritis • Shingles • Deafness • Allergies • Infections • Backaches • Rheumatism • Over-weight • Sciatica • Knee/Neck & Shoulder Pain • Migraines • Headaches • Hemorrhoids • Stroke • Facelift • Insomnia • Coughs & Quitting Smoking
See why 2 of Jane's patients believe in acupuncture: • Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and had now taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture was done on her over five visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches.
• Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an
enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon in older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to 10 times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptoms had gone and he doesn't have the urgency to visit the bathroom often.

OLD TOWN PORT MOODY has been devouring the Delectable Delights at Aroma for over 2 years now! C.M. Bhatt is a legend in the lower mainland, famous for his revolutionary and award winning food which he developed first in India and then brought to Vancouver. There he perfected them at 2 well known Indian Restaurants and met his 2 Partners Hardeep and Gurdip. He furthered his skills at his own Aroma Restaurant in Northside Port Coquitlam which he opened in 2003 and it quickly became very popular with the local residents. He and his partners were presented with the opportunity to open their new location in 2011 and have not looked back! Tucked in the square on Queen’s street (North of the St John’s Street Starbucks) their beautiful new restaurant is a true Gem in Port Moody! In less than a year in fact, Aroma became the Highest Searched Restaurant on the Urban Spoon website, they were nominated by the City of Port Moody for a Spike Business Excellence Award and voted one of the Favourite Places for Indian Food in the The Tri-City News A-List Contest by our readers! That’s one heck of a first year! If you truly love Indian Cuisine, this is the place for you!

Sign Me Up 2013! Back to school? Shop smart Getting ready to go back to school? A recent report by Ernst and Young says Canadians will spend 4% more this year than last. But before you dive into buying new clothes and supplies, check out these back-to-school budget tips from the Better Business Bureau: • Make a shopping list. Even if you don’t know the exact school supply list, you should get an idea of school clothing and other school needs. Make a list for each child but start by“shopping at home”for items that you may already have left over from last year. For some items, it’s worth spending a bit more (a high quality backpack will last for years). • Create a budget. Do a quick price search online for the items on your list and add them all up. Be sure to clip coupons, and make note of discount codes and any cash-back or rebate programs. If your goal is to reduce spending, now is the time to decide how much you want to cut. • Set up email alerts at your favourite stores. Monitoring pricing early on is key to finding good deals on quality products. Many sites will have an informed community of savvy shoppers on their blog or in their forums who willingly share deals, exclusive coupons, rebates and insider information on where and when to find the best prices, popular models and links to helpful resources.These alerts will assure you don’t miss out on the hottest, and/or limited, opportunities. • Take advantage of discounts. Many stores offer student and teacher discounts on hot items like laptops and uniforms. Retailers will be
trying to make room for fall fashion and the newest models, so there are incredible savings to be had on older items. • Know the true cost of what you are purchasing. You might be moving out for the first time and buying new furniture. If you are buying an item on credit, make sure you are aware of not only the interest rate
being charged, but any additional fees and costs associated with purchasing on credit including late payment charges. If you engage in crossborder shopping, factor in the cost of gas, duty taxes, and any other additional costs associated with getting your goods back home. For more tips, visit www.mbc.bbb.org.

The animal welfare organization is hosting its fifth annual WildlifeIn-Focus photography contest and is accepting digital photos until Sept. 30. The contest is a fundraiser supporting the society’s Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) on southern Vancouver Island, where more than 2,500 orphaned and injured wild animals are cared for every year. Some of the photos entered in previous contests have been featured in the BC SPCA’s AnimalSense and Bark! magazines, local newspapers and a book City Critters: Wildlife in the Urban Jungle. Prizes will be awarded for the top three photos
issues RFP for new program
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Last year’s winners included Peachland resident, Tania Simpson who won first place in the Backyard Habitats category. in each of two categories: wild settings and backyard habitats. The contest is open to all B.C. backyard and amateur photographers 14 years and older. The contest encourages participants to explore greenspaces, roadsides, beaches and even backyards to find striking images that represent the resiliency of
local wildlife living at the interface with humans. Wildlife includes freeliving birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects, but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities. For more information about the contest email contest@wildarc.com.
A request for proposals has been issued to develop a new program that aims to provide several services to people with basic needs in the Tri-Cities area. Share Family and Community Services wants to create a Catalyst Centre, which would offer food support, housing assistance, literacy support, skills training and
other services under one roof. There are benefits to this strategy, including shortening travel, time and costs for people with limited income or transportation options, simplifying referral procedures between services and agencies, and reducing system and process redundancies. After program users complete an intake
process, they will be assigned a primary contact coach, who will act as a case manager and advocate, and help people formulate a realistic plan. “Share has been providing food support for decades along with other services for people who are dealing with the crippling effects of poverty,” said Martin Wyant, Share’s chief ex-
ecutive officer. “But we want to explore new ways to be as efficient and effective as possible.” Vancity Credit Union has offered financial support to help get this idea off the ground within the next six months. The RFP deadline is noon at Aug. 30, and the paperwork is available at sharesociety.ca.

ger needed items, or stop by to find your next treasure. Goods can be dropped off at the community centre and parking will be Coquitlam

DragonDiva goes crazy for Candide By Janis Warren

KATHRYN NICKFORD

The Tri-CiTy NeWs
few months ago, Sevan Kochkarian was in the middle of a rehearsal when she got a surprise. John Arsenault, the music director and board president of DragonDiva, asked her to try out for his opera company’s upcoming production of Candide. A r s e n a u l t h a d wa n t e d t h e Centennial secondary grad to play the saucy role of Paquette. “I was thrilled about it,” the Coquitlam resident said. “I went home that day and started preparing for my audition.” An opera student at the Vancouver Academy of Music, Kochkarian had never been in the Leonard Bernstein show before (but had sung Glitter and Be Gay at previous functions). Needless to say, the former Theatrix actress won the role and, this week, will be bringing Paquette to life as part of the Evergreen Cultural Centre’s second annual Opera on the Lake summer series. “I love opera,” the soprano said. “I think the stories are wild and crazy. Some are comedic, some are tragic but [they are] filled with so much emotion, drive and passion.” Jeanine Flynn, artistic director for DragonDiva, which last year presented the radio play-opera The Old Maid and the Thief at Evergreen, said Arsenault had been pressing the theatrical company for a while to showcase Candide. “It’s an amazing piece but there are a lot of characters in it,” she said. “This
was the first year it felt like it was the right year for it.” Most of the cast of 10 portrays several roles in the operetta, which is based on the 1759 novella of the same name by the French writer Voltaire. Arsenault plays Candide, a dreamer who searches for the meaning of his life. Along the way, horrible things happen to him but he tries to live to his ideals. Ultimately, he figures out it’s an imperfect world. “He’s a simple man with simple needs so he goes through life without being fazed much,” Flynn said, adding the operetta “is set in a way that makes it comical and satirical.” Newcomers to opera shouldn’t shy away as the piece is in English and there is dialogue. As well, “it’s really close to musical theatre in a lot of ways,”Flynn said. Kochkarian said the narrative is a totally ridiculous — and fun. “The dialogue is outrageously hilarious,” she said. “The audience will be on the floor laughing. It’s hard for us as the actors not to laugh on stage.” And for opera lovers, “it’s a bit of twist from what they’re used to,” Flynn said. “Over our past seven years, we’ve been progressing to things that are sort of on the fringes of opera.” • DragonDiva’s Candide runs Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m., at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). Please note the show is not suitable for minors. Tickets are $25 and includes dessert afterwards. Call Evergreen at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com
Elite pipe bands take fourth, 10th spots at worlds sFU and Dowco pipe bands each have Tri-City members Two Grade 1 pipe bands from B.C. — both with strong connections to the Tri-Cities — placed in the finals in last weekend’s World Pipe Band Championships in Scotland. The Simon Fraser University Pipe Band (SFUPB) claimed fourth prize at the Glasgow Green on Sunday, following Field Marshal Montgomery (North Ireland), Boghall and Bathgate (Scotland) and Scottish Power (Scotland).
Overall, SFMPB earned 37 points while the Port Coquitlam-based Dowco Triumph Street Band — led by pipe major David Hilder and pipe sergeant Shaunna Hilder — took 77 points and came in at 10th place after the March, Strathspey and Reel and Medley program scores were totalled. “Not what we came for but we’re in the prizes,” said SFUPB major Terry Lee, a Coquitlam resident, in an SFU news release on Monday. Added pipe sergeant Jack Lee, “Disappointing but we have been here for 32 years and this isn’t our lowest point by any
means. We can say the [rainy] weather was a factor, but the Montgomery band is great and they had two great performances today. “There are few bands in the world who can beat Montgomery and I know we’re one of them. So we’ll be back,”Jack Lee said. Last year, SFUPB, a six-time championship winner, placed third behind the Montgomery band and Scottish Power while Dowco had an eighth-place finish. Still, SFUPB managed a few other successes during the contest last week: • Jack Lee won the Masters Invitational Solo Piping contest in Glasgow, meaning
he earns an invitation to the Glenfiddich Championship in Scotland in October; • drum major Jason Paguio won his fourth world title; • and piper Andrew Bonar took the trophy as best overall piper from a field of more than 50 competitors at the Perth Highland Games. SFUPB veteran Scottish member, piper Robert Mathieson, also showcased his paintings of famous pipers and drummers during an art exhibition kicking off Piping Live. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Rembrandt works to come to Burnaby Black Press
Even to the uninitiated, nothing says “significant art exhibition” like a serious boost to security. That’s just what’s coming to the Burnaby Art Gallery (BAG) this fall when it hosts two exhibitions of works by Dutch artists spanning three centuries, including several by master Rembrandt. From Sept. 7 to Nov. 17, the BAG will be home to Storms and Bright Skies: Three Centuries of Dutch Landscapes, a touring exhibition of works from the National Gallery of Canada, the first such show at the Burnaby venue in over 30 years. The 65 works on paper from the Ottawa gallery will include several 17th century etchings by Rembrandt van Rijn, the prolific Dutch master believed to have produced upwards of 600 paintings and 2,000 etchings and drawings. The National Gallery show will be joined concurrently by an exhibit of 17 works titled Inner Realms: Dutch Portraits from the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, which features a self-portrait of Rembrandt and one he did of his wife Saskia. The two shows also feature works by other Dutch masters including Jan van Goyen, Jacob van Ruisdael, Adriaen van Ostade, and Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen.
IMAGES SUBMITTED
A Dutch landscape and a Rembrandt self-portrait etching are among the pieces that will be displayed at the Burnaby Art Gallery, starting Sept. 7. The oldest works are two pen and ink drawings — Bird Catchers with Nets and Bird Catchers with an Owl Decoy — by Hans Bols dating from 1582. The National Gallery approached the BAG about bringing its touring show here, said BAG assistant curator Jennifer Cane. “We thought it would be a really groundbreaking exhibition for the Burnaby Art Gallery due to the calibre of the work that’s exhibited.” It will be the first time the National Gallery show will have appeared in Western Canada. “In terms of our climate control, absolutely up to par. We’ll also be equipped with high security for the duration of the exhibition,” she said of the BAG’s ability to accommodate the works. “This is a real first, it’s almost like a mini block-
buster.” The BAG will present a related series of speakers who will talk about Dutch landscape and portraiture and in September it will host an outdoor screening of a film on Rembrandt at Civic Square next to the Bob Prittie Metrotown library branch. “Viewing works from 300 or 400 years before our time, I think it’s really insightful. I was definitely struck by the power of the landscapes that are presented,” Cane said. “As far as the portraiture exhibition, it’s really humbling to view the oil portraits of individuals from all walks of Dutch society who are now long gone.” Rembrandt suffered from depression, likely related to the loss of several children in infancy and the death of his wife as well as personal ail-
ments, all of which is believed to have influenced the darker, shadowy works he’s often known for, Cane said. However, the brighter works that will be on view at the BAG are from a happier time of his life, earlier in his career. “The reputation of
Rembrandt, in the later part of his life he had these financial hardships and dark times. I think it’s really revealing to see a different side of a painter you might not regularly see.” Admission to the shows, as with all BAG exhibitions, will be by donation. Tourism Burnaby, for one, is hoping the exhibitions will become something of an economic generator for the city. “Securing the show Find, browse, share and favourite Flyers, coupons deals and money WKH EHVW Á\HUV ZLWK RXU QHZ Á\HU saving tips all in one place! demonstrates the YLHZLQJ H[SHULHQFH Burnaby Art Gallery is becoming a leader in works on paper,” said Tourism Burnaby exNew contests, money savings tips, View your favourite flyer items in ecutive director Matthew top grocery deals and more in our detail, then add them to our new QHZ VDYLQJV FRPPXQLW\ VKRSSLQJ OLVW IHDWXUH and print!

Two of the prints on show this and next month in Port Coquitlam by Ilsoo Kyung MacLaurin.
An artist’s life after retirement By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
It wasn’t until Ilsoo Kyung MacLaurin was nearing the end of her nursing career that she decided to pick up a paint brush. MacLaurin, who immigrated to Canada in 1967, had worked long shifts caregiving in hospitals and around the community in Manitoba and in Richmond. But when that ended about a dozen years ago, MacLaurin chose art to busy herself. “I didn’t want to stay home,” the Ladner resident said. “I wanted to keep my mind and hands going.” By then, she had already received rave reviews during a painting workshop she had attended. “The teacher said to me on my second class, ‘You have done this
before?’ and I said, ‘No, never.’ So that encouraged me. I really like painting.” Over the next decade, MacLaurin honed her skills and delved into other media, namely, drawing, sculpture, video, photography, digital imagery, performing art and installation works. She signed up for additional classes at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, SFU and UBC, where she gained a bachelor of fine arts degree. As well, she ex-
hibited prominently — in solo and group shows — in Canada, Australia, the United States and in her native Korea. She joined several groups to gain inspiration, among them, the Federation of Canadian Artists, South Delta Artists’ Guild, Delta Arts Council and UBC Photo Society. And about three years ago, she found a new art form to ply: printmaking. Tomorrow (Thursday), MacLaurin will display for a month 38 of her
new printmaking pieces in Port Coquitlam. The exhibit, titled Natural Wo r l d , e x a m i n e s Canadian livelihood and wildlife and focuses on capturing light as it reflects off surfaces, using translucent- and waterbased ink.“Printmaking to me is very natural and I really love it,” MacLaurin said. • Natural World runs until Sept. 23 at the Leigh Square Community Arts Centre (behind Port Coquitlam city hall). jwarren@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam divers rule the pool By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Sharks were flying high during last week’s diving competition at the B.C. Summer Swimming Association provincial championships. Coquitlam finished on top of the overall junior and senior categories for both boys and girls in the diving events held at the Coquitlam City Centre Aquatic Complex. “It was really successful and the kids just did an amazing job. It always amazes me how much dedication they have,” said Tara Marrington, the Coquitlam Sharks club director for diving and synchronized swimming. Alanna Marrington a n d S a ra h L e e o f Coquitlam finished one-two in both the onemetre and three-metre events for women 11/12. “They both have done amazingly well. They’re both at the top of their events for their ages,” said Marrington. Nicoletta Sicoli was fifth and Jayna Bettesworth sixth in the one-metre. Finn Clements of Coquitlam won both the one-metre and threemetre categories for men 11/12, while Austin Karesa swept the same two categories for men 15/16.
The Sharks Tessa Krochak was first in women 13/14 for the three-metre as well as the one-metre. “On the one-metre board she was competing against other girls who have been competing for years and it was her first year diving and she came in first. She’s just done amazing things this year as a first year coming in and I think that speaks to our coaching. Somebody who’s brand new to the sport can be so competitive and do so well,” said Marrington. Port Moody’s Amanda Wellman placed third in the event. Jacob Canales of the Port Moody Aquarians won the one-metre competition for men 8 and under, with Coquitlam’s Fedor Tarasova finishing second and teammate James Knoke landing third. Tarasova also won the men’s eight and under category on the three-metre board. Coquitlam’s Delia Puchalski won the women’s 8 and under one-metre, with fellow Shark Tavia Knoke taking fourth. Port Moody’s Isabel Hwang placed third, with Marissa Wellman fifth and Trinite Campbell sixth. The Sharks Kaden Powell won the men’s 9/10 category off the one-metre board, with Shay Symmes finish-

N at a l i a M i s c i o f Coquitlam took second in the women’s 9/10 for both the one- and threemetre, with Sophia Clay of Port Moody finishing third in the one-metre. Delia Puchalski of Coquitlam won the women’s eight and under category on the three-metre board, with teammate Tavia Knoke finishing second and the Aquarians Marissa Wellman taking third. In the synchronized swimming events, C o q u i t l a m ’ s Je n n a Krochuk finished second out of 25 competitors in the figures category for beginners. The Sharks Emily Trepanier took third in the intermediate division. Mikayla Papillo was second in the other
category for figures, with Emily Yang landing third Arielle Marrington fourth and Cassie Truss fifth. Krochak and Mary Rayvais claimed third spot in the beginner division for duets. Truss and Yang of Coquitlam placed second in the other category of duets, with Marrington and Papillo finishing in third. “The season’s quite short for [both diving
and synchronized swimming] because they start in May. In May and June they have to juggle practice times with school and everything else and then in July they get to practise a little bit more,” said Marrington. “The fact that they do so much and do so well is really quite something with the amount of time that they’re given to practise.” sports@tricitynews.com
The Coquitlam A d a n a c s h ave l e f t themselves little room for mistakes in their quest for a Minto Cup. The B.C. Junior Lacrosse League champions again needed to get past the New Westminster Salmonbellies Tuesday night in order to reach the best-of-five Minto Cup finals. Those finals will start Thursday night in New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena against the Ontario champion Whitby Warriors. Whitby downed the Adanacs 12-7 Monday night to complete their perfect 3-0 run in the four-team round robin. “Whitby set the bar, they’re the best t e a m r i g h t n o w,” said Adanacs coach Neil Doddridge. “I think we’d be a good matchup in a three-outof-five. I’ve said before we’re better set for series play and one-off games are not the way that we’re built.” Reid Reinholdt netted a hat trick for the Adanacs, who trailed 5-3 after one and 12-5 after the second period. Tyler Garrison, C o l e S h a f e r, Ty l e r Buchanan and Sam Goodman also scored for Coquitlam. “That’s the way it should be played, that level. Their transition in the second period was the difference,” said Doddridge. He’s confident the Adanacs can get past New West to get a second crack at Whitby and plans to make some adjustments to combat their quick transition game and back-door plays. “Obviously, they’ve been empowered by their coaches to push the ball and shoot

when given the chance. But we’ll be ready for them,” said Doddridge, who pointed to a slick backhander from Whitby’s Emerson C l a r k i n M o n d ay ’ s game. “For a guy who’s coming out the back door, it kind of says a lot about the type of stick skills they have out the back door.” Both teams set the tone for a potential rematch, amassing 85 minutes in penalties during the final 17 seconds of Monday’s game. “ Yo u ’ r e p r o t e c t ing your players. It’s not badminton, it’s lacrosse,” said Doddridge. Steven Neufeld, who led the B.C. league in playoff scoring, sat out Monday’s game. “We’ve always rotated. We had to play three nights in a row, and now four nights in a row,” said Doddridge. “ Th at g a m e m e a n t nothing so we sat guys we figured it wouldn’t hurt to get some rest. New West has gone with the same lineup throughout so they might be a bit tired.” Coquitlam opened the tournament with a 9-5 win over Alberta’s Okotok Raiders Saturday. Vinny Ricci netted a hat trick, while Reinholdt and Matt Delmonico each scored a pair and Jake Taylor and Chase McIntyre provided singles. The Adanacs then fell to the Salmonbellies 9-7 on Sunday. Shafer and Tyler Pace each scored twice, with singles going to Ricci, Reinholdt and Taylor. Whitby opened with an 11-5 win over New West before crushing Okotok 18-4. The Salmonbellies stopped Okotok 16-9 Monday night.

Port Coquitlam’s Brandon Astle has signed on as the new voice of the Abbotsford Heat in the AHL. “But I don’t think I got this [Heat] job just because of that one goal call. I want to prove to people that I’m more than a one-trick pony, and that I’m a polished broadcaster all-around.” Astle, who began his new job with the Heat last week, will also serve as the AHL team’s media relations co-ordinator. “His skill set really fit,” Heat president Ryan Walter said of Astle.“He’s a young person who’s going to help us grow.” Astle’s passion for play-by-play was sparked at the age of 10, when he started calling the action as he and his friends played street hockey on a cul-de-sac in his native Port Coquitlam. Fo l l ow i n g g ra d u ation from Riverside Secondary in 2006, he enrolled in the broadcasting
program at Vancouver’s Columbia Academy, which in turn led to a job with the BCHL’s Langley Chiefs. He worked three years with that franchise, then spent an additional two years with the new Langley team, the Rivermen, after the Chiefs moved to Chilliwack. He was also the Rivermen’s media relations officer and ticket manager. “When this opportunity [with the Heat] presented itself, I jumped on it and thankfully got the job,” he said. “Calling professional games has always been a dream of mine ever since I was a young boy.” Astle replaces Ryan Pinder, whom the Heat parted ways with in June. He’d spent the previous two seasons in the playby-play chair.
soccer grads sign on with schools The Coquitlam Metro Ford Soccer Club is continuing its tradition of sending many of its graduating players on to post-secondary institutions. A total of 14 players with the BCSPL Sparta Boys team who were born in 1995 will be attending post-secondary institutions, with 12 accepting roster spots or red-shirt positions. Another three players will be heading to Europe for trials with professional teams. All four of the graduating BCSPL girls will continue their education at post-secondary institutions, with two accepting roster spots.

The Abbotsford Heat’s new play-by-play voice has yet to call his first professional hockey game, but the Port Coquitlam product has already got a memorable call on his resumé. In October of last year, Austin Azurdia of the B.C. Hockey League’s Langley Rivermen scored an electrifying goal with 0.3 seconds left in the third period to lift his team to a 4-3 win over the Prince George Spruce Kings, and Brandon Astle’s ecstatic call of the play made it a viral sensation. “This kid could run for mayor! Is this actually happening? ... SportsCentre, get it ready, that is the highlight of the year,” bellowed Astle, his voice cracking. The video clip has more than 107,000 views on YouTube, and TSN, Sportsnet, ESPN and Sports Illustrated (among others) all featured it on their websites or broadcasts. Of course, success for a play-by-play broadcaster isn’t just defined by those rare highlight-reel moments — it’s about consistent excellence over the course of a long season, and that’s what the Heat believe they have in the 24-year-old Port Coquitlam native. “It was a pretty big moment in my broadcasting career, and obviously that goal call will be something that I’ll never forget,”said Astle.
