Driver turns himself into police A Surrey woman was struck Monday night by a car By Kevin Diakiw BLACK PRESS
A Surrey woman is clinging to life after being struck by a hit and run driver. On Monday, just before 8 p.m., the 34-year-old woman was struck while crossing 144 Street, near 82A Avenue. The driver of the 2005 Honda Accord fled the s c e n e b u t t wo hours after the accident, a 49-yearold driver from Coquitlam turned himself in to police. It wasn’t until p a s s e r s by s aw the victim lying in the middle of the road that someone called for help. She was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital where she remains in critical condition, with severe trauma to her head, back, neck and internal injuries. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said it’s just the latest in a troubling trend of hit and runs. “We’ve seen a rise lately in accidents involving drivers choosing not to remain at the scene,” Paquet said. see NO REASON, page 6

Sater trial now underway Charlene Reaveley and Lorraine Cruz were killed in a 2011 crash at Lougheed Hwy. and Pitt River Road By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The trial of a man accused of killing two women in a hit-and-run crash in 2011 opened Monday with a recording of a frantic 911 call made by a friend of one of the victims. Kimberly Moore was driving with Charlene Reaveley and two others when the group wit-
nessed an SUV crash into a median near Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Road. While Moore was reporting the minor accident to police, a loud bang can be heard in the background of the recording and she begins to scream. “Oh no, oh no,”she said. “My girlfriend just got run over. The guy who hit them took off.” The girlfriend Moore
mentions is Reaveley, who along with Lorraine Cruz, the driver of the SUV, was killed instantly when they were allegedly struck by a white Jeep Cherokee, which fled the scene immediately after the crash. Paulo Calimahin, Cruz’s boyfriend, also suffered serious injuries in the collision and his leg was later amputated as a result of the crash. Crown counsel Chris McPherson laid out the case against Cory Sater, the man the prosecution contends was behind the wheel of the Jeep. McPherson told media
outside the courthouse on Monday that the Crown will outline how much Sater allegedly had to drink the night of the crash. “Crown will be presenting evidence from the pub about the number of drinks on the tab, which was six... double rye and cokes... and two Jagerbombs,”he said. The court heard that surveillance video footage allegedly put Sater and a companion at the Village Pub on Lougheed Highway in Burnaby prior to the crash. see CRUZ, page 5

Biz’ telescopes a boon for star gazers PoCo company could make observing space much cheaper By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
A Port Coquitlam company has unveiled new technology that could dramatically reduce the cost of building longrange telescopes for the exploration of space. Guy Nelson, the CEO of Dynamic Structures, which has partnered with another PoCo business called Innovative Optics, said this could pave the way for an observatory construction boom. “This is what I call disruptive technology,” Nelson said. “All of a sudden it would make telescopes affordable to amateur astronomers, astronomy clubs and universities.” Currently, long-range telescopes use extremely bulky, heavy mirrors, that can be difficult to manoeuvre with the kind of precision required for space exploration. The technology developed by Innovative Optics would make it so that smaller, thinner mirrors could
GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Guy Nelson, the CEO of Dynamic Structures, speaks at a technology unveiling at the company’s Kingsway Avenue office in Port Coquitlam. be used, dramatically shrinking the size of the telescopes and supporting infrastructure without compromising effectiveness. “The savings comes from the whole soup of infrastructure,” Nelson said, noting that the
smaller telescopes can still see distances of millions and even billions of light years away. “If it is all light-weight mirrors, the structure and mechanical systems that hold it up and move the mirrors gets downsized.” The innovation stems
from a new hydro-polish developed by the PoCo company. Previously, telescopes needed a thick mirror in order to withstand the polishing required to smooth out cracks in the glass. Further complicating the process was
the fact that the mirrors needed to be removed and brought to a cleaning facility, a costly and timeconsuming ordeal. To combat the problem, Innovative Optics has developed a hydropolish that would work on thinner mirrors with-
out cracking the glass, Nelson said. The polish can also be brought and applied on site. Nelson hopes that the new polish could pave the way for lighter mirrors to be used on new telescopes that are being produced. On Friday, local politicians and members of the business community gathered at Dynamic Structures facility on Kingsway Avenue. The company, Nelson said, wants to show government that investment in the sciences not only benefits our knowledge of space, but creates jobs in the community. PoCo Mayor Greg Moore spoke at the event along with federal Industry Minister and Port Moody-CoquitlamPort Coquitlam MP James Moore. “Canadian access to growing markets in Asia presents great opportunities for technology enterprises,” James Moore said. “Canadians are brilliant innovators and I am pleased to see Dynamic Structures’ success has led to the creation of more high-quality jobs for British Columbians and for our community.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Search for Noh enters 14th day search for missing man turns to southwest Coquitlam By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Signs for Shin Noh, a Coquitlam man who has been missing since last week, have been hung across the Tri-Cities.
The search for a missing grandfather has shifted to southwest Coquitlam after exhaustive searches in all other areas of the Tri-Cities turned up no sign of Shin Noh. His son Sam told The News Monday that people are now looking for his dad, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, in areas where he used to frequent as a pastor of a Coquitlam church — around Lougheed Mall, Burquitlam, Maillardville, Austin Heights, Cape Horn and Ranch Park.
“He may be in southern Coquitlam,” Noh said from his search and rescue headquarters at his Eagle Ridge Fitness business in Port Moody.”He lived there and had a church there … it would make sense to go up there,”Noh said. Although it’s been two weeks since the elder Noh went missing while on a walk from his home near Glen Drive and Lansdown Drive in Coquitlam, volunteers are still committed to the search. Noh said he has been overwhelmed by the support from strangers, many of whom have been out on the streets all hours of the day and night. “They have scoured the whole area,” Noh said, plastering signs and posters all over buildings and cars.
By now the older man would have a salt and pepper beard and look tired and hungry, Noh said, unlike the cleanshaven grandpa that is featured in many photos. Noh is also accepting advice from Coquitlam Search and Rescue that conducted searches in wooded areas and trails in the Port Moody and Burke Mountain areas, the latter because of a sighting involving construction workers. On his website (http:// www.shin-noh.ca/), Noh lists areas where he’s asking people to look and a detailed account of action taken so far. For example, Noh would like people to flood the areas of Burquitlam and Austin Heights with flyers and to talk to workers in areas and search for places where Noh
may have taken shelter. “There are so many of you out there on the roads and the trails searching for Shin. We are truly deeply moved by tremendous dedication, support and amazing love you have shown us. It is truly a testament of one body, community, humanity,” Noh states on his website. Meanwhile, the Coquitlam RCMP say they are still actively investigating every lead. “Hopefully we will come across a good one,” Cpl. Jamie Chung said Tuesday. At the time of his disappearance, Noh was wearing a plaid shirt and green pants. People who see someone matching his description should try and hold on to him and call 911, and quote file number #2013-27945

Storm causes power outages, heavy rain Lower Mainland residents mopped up Monday after a weekend storm with strong wind gusts and heavy rain pounded the region. The high winds toppled trees and knocked out power to more than 3,000 homes in Delta and Richmond, and thousands more in smaller pockets throughout southwestern B.C. Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones said 65 millimetres of rain was measured from Friday through Sunday at Vancouver Airport, compared with 82 mm in Abbotsford and 71 mm in both Pitt Meadows and WestVancouver. The intense rain resulted in some localized flooding and washed away part of a section of road in Langley. The winds only hit the predicted100 kilometres per hour plus on parts of Vancouver Island — the highest reading measured in Metro Vancouver was 90 km/h at West Vancouver’s Point Atkinson. “It wasn’t really all that bad,” Jones said, noting top wind speeds of about 50 km/h in Abbotsford and Vancouver Airport. The biggest impact was on BC Ferries passengers after the cancellations of several ferry sailings caused huge delays for travellers between Vancouver Island and Metro Vancouver. Extra sailings were added Monday to clear the backlog. A Holland America cruise ship also delayed its sailing to Oregon and remained holed up in port inVancouver.

Kitchen fires theme for FPW How safe are your cooking practices? Many house fires begin as kitchen fires, the theme of this year’s Fire Prevention Week from Oct. 6 to 12. Last year, B.C. fire departments responded to 688 cooking fires across the province, causing 77 injuries and one death. Nine of those fires were in Port Coquitlam. Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services (FES) offers the following safety tips to prevent kitchen fires: • stay in the kitchen while cooking;
• stay alert and pay attention; • wear short or closefitting sleeves; • turn pot handles in; • keep flammable items (e.g. curtains) away from the stove; • make sure your smoke alarm is working — check monthly, change the batteries every six months and replace every 10 years. Residents are urged to have a working smoke alarm on each floor of their home. Having one reduces the chances of dying in a fire by more
than 30%. Alarms older than 10 years old can be recycled through the AlarmRecycle program, available in Port Coquitlam at Biggar Bottle Depot, 2577 Kingsway Ave.

Child struck on Ioco A child received minor injuries after he was hit by a car Monday morning in Port Moody while en route to school. Local police were called to the 600-block of Ioco Road at about 8:20 a.m. where the 10-yearold boy was walking on the sidewalk heading east when he “unexpectedly ran into the roadway and was hit by a 2001 Toyota Corolla travelling west bound,” said Const. Luke Van Winkel of Port Moody Police Department. The driver stopped immediately and helped
the child. Police said the 61-year-old driver was not speeding and that the collision was unavoidable. No charges are being sought. Van Winkel said to ensure everyone uses caution while crossing roads and to use sidewalks. Pedestrian are also encouraged to take steps to be more visible by wearing reflective clips, bright clothing or carrying light-coloured umbrellas while walking in the rain.

In this case, the woman may have been doing better if the driver had taken the time to call an ambulance. “There’s no reason you can’t pull over to the side of the road and call 911,” Paquet said. “At the very least, someone is in need of medical assistance — time is of the essence — the first thing you need to do is call 911 to activate medical personnel.” He said it’s too early to say whether the fact the man turned himself in will have any effect on the charges that are recommended. Bottom line, Paquet said, is when a driver chooses to leave the scene of an accident, it’s no longer a ticketing offence, but a criminal investigation. “And with that comes the consequences of c r i m i n a l c h a r g e s ,” Paquet said.

Business owner complains to council about red tape Stories by Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam’s mayor apologized to a longtime business owner and her family this week after they said they were forced to jump through numerous bureaucratic hoops to reconstruct their building. Mayor Richard Stewart told Mary Ann Meegan and her family he was sorry they had to wait a year for their bid to get before city council, saying the time period was “inappropriate” especially given Meegan’s standing in the community. L a s t S e p t e m b e r, Meegan’s insurance agency at 1060 Austin Ave. was gutted by fire, causing more than $1 million in damage. She and her family, who have been serving customers in a temporary office across the street since then, wanted to rebuild on the same site; however, because the onestorey office was constructed more than 40 years ago — before the city’s zoning bylaw was in effect — it didn’t meet today’s building standards. Adding to the family’s challenge to rebuild was the city’s newly adopted vision for Austin Heights, an aging community on the cusp of redevelopment. City planners had asked the Meegan family to build a taller structure that would meet new growth requirements in the Neighbourhood Centre. During Monday’s public hearing on the rezoning bid, Peter Meegan told city council he and his family went back to the drawing board with the architect several times to make the new building in line with the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan. Peter Meegan said he complied with every request for a new threestorey office, with six c o m m e rc i a l t e n a n t spaces. “We put up with a lot from the city then they changed their game,” he said, singling out city planners by name who he claimed have put his family through stress and financial pressure. City planners sat stone-faced as the mayor and councillors listened to the barrage of complaints. Council also got a tongue-lashing from Mary Ann Meegan, who shook her finger at council over how she has been treated. The fire, she said, burned her business to the ground and inconvenienced customers. “I need some help,”
One candidate drops out of race Coquitlam voters will see one less name on the ballot for this month’s byelection. Andy Lacuna dropped out of the civic race before the nomination period closed last Friday at 4 p.m., a city spokesperson said. As a result, there will be 11 candidates vying for two seats on city council, left vacant by Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson — both of whom were elected as MLAs in May: she pleaded. The criticism came one week after Coquitlam was named one of seven communities in B.C. as being the most open for business. Coun. Craig Hodge said the city doesn’t deserve the accolade based on the Meegan case. “We are looking at developing Austin Heights into something that’s great,” he said, adding, “Your business hasn’t been treated well....

Shelter could be up by Nov. 1 The Tri-CiTy News
The managing director of the Hope for Freedom Society is optimistic a temporary shelter will be available for homeless people by Nov. 1, a month after its original Oct. 1 start date. Rob Thiessen said he has been encouraged by the work of TriCity churches, including Coquitlam Alliance Church pastor Mark Francisco, in convincing politicians to get a temporary permit. “Our hope is to get everything up and running by Nov. 1,”Thiessen said, adding that the first shelter may be located at Calvary Baptist Church in Coquitlam, if it’s approved by the city of Coquitlam. Earlier, Thiessen said he was told by the city it would be difficult to get approval but now he says the churches’ advocacy may have swayed some politicians. He’s also looking for a church in Port Coquitlam to house the homeless for a month. There’s also the problem of coming up with about $20,000 to $30,000
to provide a bus to pick up homeless people from collection thiessen points and take them to the various churches. “I’m optimistic, we’ll figure it out; that’s the least of our worries,” Thiessen said. He’s also received assurances from the funder that as long as progress is being made on securing sites for the temporary shelter, the money won’t run out. M e a n w h i l e , Po r t Moody continues to offer a solution to the homeless shelter situation. In addition to providing ongoing approval for St. Andrew’s United to house the homeless for a month every year, the city’s councillors were planning to address the issue at an upcoming meeting. Thiessen said St. Andrew’s, which was scheduled to provide volunteers for the shelter starting Oct. 1, will now likely get an opportunity in March. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Referendum doomed, mayors warn minister Stories by Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver mayors emerged from their first meeting with new Transportation Minister Todd Stone with no deal or even the makings of one on how to restructure TransLink or craft a referendum on transit expansion funding slated for next year. Mayors also expressed frustration last Thursday that the province is pushing ahead with a Massey tunnel replacement bridge that they fear could push back transit as a priority. They object to the premier’s insistence there be a referendum on new taxes for TransLink, fearing it will be defeated at the polls. And they continue to take a stance that TransLink must be reformed to give them more control over spending priorities as a precondition for their active participation in a referendum, if the province insists it go ahead. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he doesn’t see how the referendum can succeed. “Despite the mayors saying it’s the stupidest idea imaginable they continue on with the referendum, they’re absolutely determined to hold it,” Corrigan said. “And it’s pretty clear that none of us are going to participate.” He called it a “ridiculous” way to govern to go to referendum on such a complex issue. “Why wasn’t there a referendum on the Port Mann Bridge? Why isn’t there a referendum about building a new Delta bridge? Why isn’t there a referendum on the Pattullo? Where they want to spend money there’s no referendum. Where they don’t want to spend money there’s a referendum.” Corrigan noted the premier’s promise to give the people the final say came after the province concluded voters were wrong and misguided when they defeated the HST in a referendum. “I don’t know how a referendum will pass,” said Mayors Council chair Richard Walton, added he’s hopeful more meetings can hammer out a deal with the province by Christmas that provides some chance of success. Walton predicted most people will vote against paying more taxes for transit — while continuing to demand more be provided — unless a very compelling case is presented.
Smell ‘n’ tell
lD to host compass machines Transit riders will be able to reload or buy Compass cards at vending machines in 18 London Drugs stores starting early next year. TransLink’s partnership with the B.C.-based retailer will give transit users access to the machines at more locations besides rapid transit stations as the new smart card payment system rolls out. Existing retailers who now sell TransLink passes and tickets will be able to sell preloaded Compass cards, but those outlets won’t be able to reload them or host vending machines. London Drugs was selected to host the in-store machines after a competitive bidding process. Madill said no money is changing hands but declined to provide Stone told reporters he shares a common vision with the mayors on the need to raise billions of dollars for additional transit expansion. There is no decision yet on what exactly voters will be asked in the referendum, who will pay for it and lead it, or when it will be, other than it will take place no later than November of 2014. Asked if voters might be denied a “none of the above” option — that they might be forced to choose from a menu of new taxes for TransLink as suggested in May by
details on the deal with the retailer. Passengers will also be able to reload cards by phone or online — it’s expected many will use a feature to set their Compass card to automatically reload from a connected credit card or bank account whenever the card value drops below a set level. Vending machines will be more important to Compass users who want to reload the card using cash because they don’t have a credit card or bank account, or choose not to connect them. The machines in London Drugs stores in South Delta, South Surrey, Cloverdale, Langley, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam and the North Shore will be the only physical places to reload cards in those areas, which are far from SkyTrain stations.
former Transportation Minister Mary Polak — Stone said he hasn’t ruled it out. “The question must be about a vision for the expansion of transit and transportation in the Lower Mainland,” Stone said. “It is therefore likely that wrapped around that vision in the referendum question itself there may be a list of options that voters have to choose from in terms of different funding mechanisms, new funding mechanisms that could come into play to fund

Failure to plan
PICTURE THIS adrian raeside
Coquitlam is moving ahead on its vision to make the city a livable one while still providing affordable housing and connecting with transit. Fraser Mills, Burquitlam, Austin Heights, and Burke Mountain are new neighbourhoods being created from old while the city looks to revitalize and rebuild. Problem is, those plans might look nice on paper but making them a reality is something else entirely. A case in point is the Mary Ann Meegan Insurance Agency, which has struggled to rebuild after a fire destroyed the original 40-year-old building last year. The owner understandably wants to re-establish the family business on the original property but, as the owner tells it, has had to conform to new design requirements and jump through a lot of hoops that were unforeseen. These new design requirements and extra hassles are the result of changes to zoning initiated and approved by council in a plan to turn the sleepy Austin Heights suburban neighbourhood into a more urban place, with high-density towers, transit and walkability. The thing is these changes were made with the idea that a developer might want to come in and transform whole blocks. On Monday night, however, council found out that it’s not big-time developers that may want to rebuild but some small business owners who, through no fault of their own, simply want what they had before the fire. What was disheartening to observe, however, was the way council failed to take ownership and responsibility for making the decisions on Austin Heights that created the hardship for this family in the first place. Either through lack of vision or detailed follow through, council failed to consider grandfathering, cleaning up the red tape or planning for other circumstances that might arise nor did it do a good job of getting people to buy into the new vision. Instead, they let the planners be the fall guys. Let’s hope this isn’t going to be a pattern as the city moves ahead on its plans to revitalize other critical neighbourhoods over the next two decades.
Science loses ground to superstition in info age BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA rom Stockholm to Sydney to Sicamous, September was a bad month for science. In Sweden, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) finally issued its widely leaked update on human-caused global warming. As expected, it downgraded predictions of temperature rise in the face of 15 years of measurements that show little or no average surface temperature increase. The official spin also went as expected. The revelation that more than a dozen computer prediction models have all more or less agreed, and all have been wrong, was played down. The IPCC went from“very likely”to“extremely likely”to affirm its belief in human-caused warming, even as its own core evidence went the other way. Again and again we are told that the vast
F
majority of scientists believe in human-caused warming, and those who don’t are labeled “skeptics”or even“deniers”with hidden agendas. The problem is, science isn’t supposed to be done by polls or popularity contests, or assertions of faith like those that greeted Galileo’s wild claim that Earth is not the centre of the solar system. Before the angry mail starts to arrive, let me hasten to add I am not arguing for or against the theory of human-caused climate change. You can label me a“skeptic”as I view the temperature readings and the shifting theories advanced to explain them. Speaking of temperature data, David Suzuki had a problem with that at a TV town hall in Australia. Polite, well-informed questions soon revealed that while Suzuki rails constantly about the horrors of global warming, he doesn’t actually know much about the latest science. As I’ve written before regarding his CBCfunded attacks on Canada’s oil and gas industry, Suzuki is not only behind on his homework, he resorts to cheap, sensational

tricks to exaggerate and misrepresent hazards. His tactics are identical to the U.S.-financed environment groups that obsessively target Canadian petroleum. As for his appearance on Australia’s public broadcaster, don’t take my word for it. Just Google“An Audience with David Suzuki”and watch the show for yourself. Back in B.C., local politicians gathered in Vancouver for their annual convention. One of the most intense debates was over a call to the provincial government to declare B.C.“genetic engineering free.” The heart of this movement, which has resorted to vandalism in Europe, is hostility towards Monsanto’s “Roundup ready” seed. Speakers at the municipal convention warned of sinister “corporations” trying to contaminate and control our food supply for profit. The debate pitted hobby farmers against professionals. Peace region grain farmers said such a ban would put them out of business. Others pointed out that the province has no jurisdiction and that scientific decisions
shouldn’t be influenced by emotion. The session ended with a classic pseudoscientific claim. A woman who used to have a couple of bee boxes said someone’s bees died and there was a Roundup-ready canola field next door. Case closed. The misguided“G.E.free B.C.”motion was supported by a narrow majority. As it turns out, there are agricultural pesticides that may be harmful to bees. The David Suzuki Foundation is part of an effort to get one of them banned in Canada. The problem is, it’s not Roundup, and it’s got nothing to do with genetic engineering. They’re called“neonicotinoids,”because they’re similar to nicotine. Old sheep farmers may recall using a crude version: tobacco soaked in water to kill insects on sheep. It’s ironic that as the“information age”accelerates, our society, overwhelmed by conflicting messages, slips back towards superstition.

Using a car cheaper and more convenient The Editor, Re: Public bus approved for Chilliwack– Abbotsford–Langley route. I’m thrilled, I really am, but what we really need is some way for people to get between Mission and Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows directly. Currently, if you are on the West Coast Express and you miss your stop (not all that uncommon), it is difficult to try and get back into Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, or any other location to the west. Even with this new bus service, getting to Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows is going to be excruciating. Pathetic! If we are really supposed to get out of our cars, how about making it possible? Then we can get into the cost. The West Coast Express costs me more than $300 a month and three hours a day between waiting and travelling. I can do this in my
car for less cost financially as well as saving my time. I can’t work weekends unless I drive. Oh, and even with this new bus service, no luck on Sundays. Not everybody works 9-5, Monday to Friday. Let’s not get started on the fiasco this Compass card and tap-in and out is going to be. Never mind the conveniences TransLink is removing from us. They even had the audacity to state that they brought in all these money-saving features and conveniences to increase ridership and now that they have done what was intended, they are removing them. Really? Can we actually get some real service, please? If they really want us to take transit, they are going about it the wrong way. I’ve been riding the West Coast Express for six years and am going to be in my car next year. Kim Robertson, Abbotsford

Vary artists at park The Editor, Since moving here a year-and-a-half ago my wife and I have often enjoyed a walk to Rocky Point Park in the evening. When we first went, there was a musician at the entrance to the dock playing an amplified guitar. The next time we went he was there again. He is quite a good guitarist, and he seems to be doing quite well, judged by the results in his guitar case. However, for us anyway, it has become too much of a good thing. I would prefer if there were some variation. I am aware of many excellent musicians in the Tri Cities. Surely some of them would be interested in taking a turn there. I would also like to have the occasional option for silence at the dock. This is a place where we can go for peace and tranquility. Laurence S. Hollands, Port Moody

Gov’t should have funded CUPE raise, says Hyndes By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Education Minister Peter Fassbender says boards protesting the cost of a 3.5% raise for school support should have known it was coming, but some opted to wait and hope for an NDP government to take over. Fassbender said in an interview that school trustees have been working with the education ministry for months on “savings plans.” They knew the BC Liberal government would not increase budgets to cover a raise for workers who haven’t seen one in four years, and have been without a contract for more than a year. “I think there was some hope on the part of some [trustees] that we would, with our backs to the wall perhaps, come up with additional dollars,” Fassbender said. “And the other reality, quite honestly, was that up until May 14 there was some anticipation that there was going to be a change of government.” Tr u s t e e s a r o u n d the province are grappling with added costs for contracts with 69
union locals representing education assistants, bus drivers, custodians and crossing guards. Mostly members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), support staff workers are currently voting on a two-year tentative agreement that is already more than halfway to expiring next June. Union locals and boards of education must all vote to ratify the agreement by December for it to take effect. It includes a one per cent raise retroactive to July 1, another two per cent starting Feb. 1 and 0.5 per cent in May 2014. Districts calculate costs from the deal to be more than $1 million in School District 43, $2 million in Vancouver, $700,000 in Chilliwack and proportional amounts in other districts, most of which have already cut services due to declining enrolment. Fassbender said the support staff settlement meets the government’s “cooperative gains” mandate imposed on all public service unions, because CUPE chose to accept a smaller raise and protect its ability to bank sick days.
The ministry’s new chief negotiator, Peter Cameron, offered CUPE two per cent raises in each year, as other government workers have received, but the tradeoff was to give up accumulating unused sick days. School support staff and teachers are the last provincial government unions to accept a “cooperative gains” contract. Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark have offered to fund raises for teachers, if they will agree to a long-term settlement. Fassbender said the expired support staff contracts had to be dealt with first, and new negotiations with CUPE will have to begin soon. Board chair Melissa Hyndes has said SD43 will have to find more efficiencies to cover the wage hike and said CUPE workers deserved the raise. However, she disagrees that boards should have to find the funds in existing budgets. “ Th e g ove r n m e n t should have funded it though; it should not be on the backs of school districts,” Hyndes told The News in a recent interview. - with files from Diane Strandberg

reforms urged to help curb gangsters, alcoholism By Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C. police chiefs are urging the provincial government to give their officers more power to haul gangsters out of bars and restaurants. That’s one of the suggestions received so far by the government’s liquor policy review, which is expected to lead to significant reforms. “The province has been dealing with a wave of gang violence with many shootings occurring in and around l i c e n s e d p r e m i s e s ,” Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich said in a submission to the review. Rich, who chairs the legislative committee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, called for province-wide police power to unilaterally remove anyone they decide poses a risk to the public in a licensed establishment. He said police already work with establishments through the Barwatch program to remove gang members, but owners or staff can be intimidated by gangsters. “It’s the licensed premises that primarily has the authority to have people leave its premises if it’s concerned, but that’s difficult with gang members,” Rich said.

B.C.’s liquor policy review is receiving suggestions on everything from the rules for revived happy hours to whether police should have more power to remove gangsters from bars. The police chiefs association also wants the definition of public drunkenness expanded to allow the arrest of people intoxicated by drugs, and not just liquor. The submission also suggests the courts could order detoxification and treatment for the chronically intoxicated. Another proposal would let police temporarily seize the guns of hunters they catch with open liquor. Medical health officers are cautioning the government against let-
ting liquor flow more freely. They want the province to freeze or cut the number of private liquor retailers and ban online ordering and delivery. To combat disease from abuse of cheap high-alcohol drinks, they are seeking a minimum price of $3 per standard drink consumed on site and $1.50 for off sales. They also want pricing tied to alcohol content, so youth and others aren’t encouraged to buy high-strength drinks. They oppose any decrease in the drinking
age of 19. The province has indicated it isn’t considering changes to pricing or taxation, which provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall said is unfortunate. “Policy measures such as taxation are the most cost-effective public health response to the alcohol-related disease burden in countries with moderate and high levels of alcohol consumption,” he said in own response to the review. Meanwhile, a group called Campaign for Culture is promoting a return of happy hours and also urges the province to okay the sale of craft liquor at farmers’ markets. B.C. is the only province that bans bars and restaurants from offering happy hour discounts in the late afternoon and early evening. While the group supports lifting the restriction, it argues for a province-wide price minimum to prevent irresponsible practices like two-for-one, all-you-candrink or women-drinkfree offers. Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap is leading the liquor policy review and is to table recommendations Nov. 25. For more information see http://engage.gov.bc.ca/ liquorpolicyreview/.

Video explores changes in Port Moody over 25 years By Jason Roessle THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Port Moody history enthusiast has stitched together two videos shot 25 years apart showcasing some of the changes in the Tri-City community. Dave Zille acquired video shot in 1988 by Roger Clark from a vehicle as it drove down the length of Ioco Road and St. Johns Street, ending on Kyle Street. “There’s been lots of change in the past 10 years. [The video] gives
people an appreciation for how much some stuff has changed, but a lot that hasn’t,” said Zille. “I think we’re really at an interesting point in time because the community will look so different even 10 years from now.” He said the video ill u s t rat e s t h at Po r t Moody has done a good job of conserving a lot of the community’s green space. The 2013 portion was shot by John Biehler with a GoPro full high-
definition camera mounted to the hood of his car. The camera has a wide enough aspect ratio so that it nearly captures both sides of the road throughout the six-minute trip. He uploaded the video to YouTube, but said he’s open to sharing the content with whoever is interested. “The old video is such a great piece to have,” enthused the former member of Port Moody’s Heritage Commission. “I’m sure lots of people have old

Ghost Town Day Sunday at Ioco and First Avenue
Tri-City News Wednesday, October 2, 2013, A19
A pie contest will be one of the hits of ioco Ghost Town Day this sunday By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody’s Jim Millar says it’s more important than ever to support heritage at the former Ioco lands, which could soon be developed, as the city prepares for this weekend’s Ioco Ghost Town Day. This year’s community celebration of local heritage takes place on Sunday, Oct. 6 at the corner of Ioco Road and First Avenue in PoMo — even though the landowner is seeking development proposals for the area. Millar, curator of the Port Moody Station Museum, said the property owned by Imperial Oil was deemed a Heritage Conservation Area in 2002, the year Ioco Ghost Town Day began. He said he sought and received permission from Imperial Oil to proceed with the event and Heritage Canada has
also provided a grant to help pay for the activities. “We started doing Ghost Town Days that fall to celebrate it as a heritage conservation area,” Millar recalled, adding it’s important PoMo residents understand the history and the heritage value of the property. The Ioco townsite was built in 1921 as a company town for the employees of the Imperial Oil refinery. At one time, it contained 84 houses, a community centre, groceteria, gas station, two churches and a school. “It operated as a town up until the mid-’70s then they started to move the houses away. By 1995 they shut down the refinery and changed it to a storage facility that it is now.” In the spring, Imperial Oil hired Cushman and
Wakefield to handle the sale of Ioco’s 232 acres; 150 acres are in Anmore and the remaining 82, including the historic Ioco Townsite, in Port Moody. The vision calls for a master-planned community with a mix of singlefamily and low-density multi-family housing, neighbourhood services and amenities, waterfront views and potential access to Burrard Inlet. The Ioco Ghost Town Day on Oct. 6 runs from noon to 4 p.m. and is free. Entertainment will include the Metro Vancouver Firefighters’ Band, line dancers, bluegrass music from 5 on a String and a barbershop quartet called Antique Gold. As well, there will be a balloon twister and a magician, displays, crafts and skits about Port Moody’s history by Rebel Haunt Theatre. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Mornings with Sarah By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NeWs
A
bout three years ago, when pianist Sarah Hagen was living in the Vancouver Island community of Courtenay, she was feeling a bit isolated. So, wanting to share her love of music, she opened up her home to the public for concerts. The idea took off and, at one point, she was hosting four shows a week — sometimes playing duets with a guest artist. The following year, Hagen moved to Vancouver but her concept of salon-type recitals gained steam. Staff at Nanaimo’s Port Theatre had heard about Hagen’s success in Courtenay and wanted her to add morning performances at their venue. Last year, Hagen put Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre and the Surrey Arts Centre on her roster and, this year, she will have a total of eight locations — with Maple Ridge, Duncan, Chilliwack and Vernon — for her morning mix. “I’m crazy, I know,” Hagen said last week in a phone interview from St. John’s, N.L. “It’s a very busy schedule but this seems to be the way I work.” At each of the eight locations, Hagen and a guest musician will play between four and six 75-minute shows, from September to April. Her Coquitlam series kicks off on Wednesday, Oct. 9 with cellist Rebecca Wenham, whom Hagen met while at The Banff Centre. Next up are violinist Joan Blackman, soprano Robyn Driedger-Klassen, French horn player Oto Carrillo and pianist Isabelle O’Connell. Hagen said she tends

Her first show is on Wednesday, Oct. 9 with cellist Rebecca Wenham. to allow the guest artist to pick the repertoire for the show. But because the recitals are at 10 a.m., she tends to prefer music that’s “sensitive” to the early-morning crowd — that is, a serious and balanced program but not too abrasive for the ear. As well, she encourages her guest artists to give some music history before launching into each piece. “I want this to be an educational experience, to give people something that they can take away,” Hagen said, adding, “At the end of this series, they will get to hear some beautiful music and have a sense

of community with other classical music lovers.” David Mann, Evergreen’s performing arts manager, said part of the appeal of Musical Mornings is Hagen’s charm. “Sarah is a real attraction,” he said. “The cliché of the self-absorbed classical pianist doesn’t hold for her. She is the complete opposite:
Very warm and friendly and funny. She’s a great host.” Attendance for last year’s Musical Mornings grew with each performance and Evergreen officials hope the 2013 series fares well, especially with its introduction a special admission rate for school groups (suitable to Grade 5 and up).
“Things like these take two to three years to establish themselves,” Mann said of classical music shows. As well, since the shows are in the mornings, “you’re catering to a different crowd, namely seniors or people who are working from home in the area.” Classical music recitals are often a tough sell in the Tri-Cities, Mann said; however, “Evergreen is committed to keep working on it.” Besides Musical Mornings, Evergreen has also partnered with the new Coquitlam Youth Orchestra, the Pa c i f i c S y m p h o n i c
Wind Ensemble and the Quiring Chamber Players to offer more from the classical music catalogue. • Musical Mornings w i t h S a ra h H a g e n start with coffee, tea and treats from Cobs Bread and will be followed by a 75-minute concert. For tickets, call the Evergreen Cultural Centre box office at 604927-6555 or visit online at evergreenculturalcentre.ca. Tickets are $20, or $15 per show when you purchase three or more Musical Mornings concerts. jwarren@tricitynews.com
A Tri-City rock outfit will be on tour with the Sam Roberts Band next year after it clinched first prize in a radio contest. Last month, Pigeon Park was named the platinum award winner of The Fox 99.3 FM Vancouver Seeds competition. The musicians — Coquitlam residents Kevin Okabe (guitar), Nick Weber ( vo c a l s ) , A r t u r Leppert (bass) and Hunter Elliott (drummer), and Logan Pacholok (guitar/vocals) of Port Moody — beat out The Post War and The Oceanographers in the Sept. 20 finale at the Commodore Ballroom. “At this stage of our career, this means the world to us,” said Weber, a Heritage Woods secondary grad. “It’s a huge step up for us to have been validated by the people in the industry. It feels good.” It was the third time Pigeon Park had entered the Seeds contest. Among the prizes is a fivedate tour with the Sam Roberts Band as well as $10,000 in tour support from the radio station plus another $10,000 in gear from Long and McQuade. In addition, Pigeon Park will be recording a new five-track EP at the Nimbus School of Recording Arts with Canadian music producer and engineer Garth Richardson, whose credits include Motley Crew, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nickelback. The prize package also includes a music video from Brass Tacks Films. see BAnd, page 21

Whistle away
A musician who plays with the longest-running Celtic band in Vancouver will lead a workshop next week on the penny whistle. Michelle Carlisle of Blackthorn will teach the instrument — in one hour — on Sunday at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts to two sets of groups: y o u t h ( a g e d e i g h t to 15) and par- Carlisle ticipants over 16. Students will learn fingerings, Irish melodies as well as advanced techniques such as ornamentation. Basic musical training is recommended. Carlisle said she taught the penny whistle to a group in White Rock in March to coincide with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and the classes were a hit. Fellow Triskelion musicians Rosie Carver and Rebecca Blair, both of whom are on the Place des Arts’ faculty, recommended Carlisle continue her series in Coquitlam. “A lot of people have an interest in Celtic music,” said Carlisle, a North Delta resident. “They may have an eastern Canadian or British background or just a real love for Celtic music that has been made popular in Canada by the Rankin family, Loreena McKennitt and Ashley MacIsaac.” The penny whistle is a good woodwind instrument to learn as it’s relatively easy to play and is affordable, she said. Still, Carlisle stressed the penny whistle is different from the recorder: the latter has eight holes, two of which are double, and you can get chromatic notes versus the penny whistle, which has six holes. The cost for the Oct. 6 workshop is $33.75. To sign up, call Place des Arts at 604664-1636 or visit placedesarts.ca. Meanwhile, Blackthorn will perform at the Maillardville facility on Jan. 18, 2014, for the annual Robbie Burns dinner and concert. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Power play fizzles as Express drop pair By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
A power failure with the man advantage proved costly for the Coquitlam Express. The Express went 0-for-10 on the power play as they dropped a pair of weekend games to the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings. B rya n t C h r i s t i a n scored 29 seconds into the second overtime with the teams playing three on three to give the Spruce Kings a 4-3 win Sunday afternoon. “PG played hard and stuck to their systems. They kept it simple,” said Express head coach Barry Wolff. “None of their goals were highlight-reel goals, they just shot it at the net and it went in. We need to be a little bit smarter with our decision making.” Corey Mackin and Canon Pieper notched first-period markers for the Express, who were up 2-1 after one and tied 2-2 after two. Prince George jumped out to an early lead in the third before Ben Israel flipped a puck out of his zone and sent in Express captain Ryan Rosenthal, who beat Alex Murray low to the glove side to square things up.

Gordie Defiel covers up a loose puck during a scramble in front of the Coquitlam net Sunday afternoon. The Express fell 3-2 in double overtime to the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings. Gordie Defiel made 23 saves for the Express, who outshot the Spruce Kings 4027. Coquitlam was unable to score on six power play opportuni-
ties Sunday and went 0-for-4 with the man advantage in a 3-2 loss Friday night. “There were definitely opportunities but again they did a good
job of just protecting the front of the net and there wasn’t a whole lot of second chances for us,” said Wolff. “We just need to be a little more determined and a little
more gritty in the paint area and find the loose pucks.” Bo Pieper and Joey Santucci paced the o f f e n c e Fr i d ay f o r Coquitlam, who led 1-0
after one and 2-1 after two. Defiel turned aside 19 shots. Wolff said he plans to put the focus on specialty teams during this week’s practice.
“Guys just need to figure it out. If not, we just need to change the people on the power play,” he said. “Guys have to want to go to the dirty areas, right now everybody just wants to be pretty.” The Express added some grit last week when they acquired John Saunders from the Whitecourt Wolverines of the Alberta Junior Hockey League for future considerations. The 6’2” 190-lb. defenceman posted two goals and two assists during a previous stint in the B.C. Hockey League with the Merritt Centennials. “He brings some grit and toughness, something we need. We need to be a little tougher to play against and he adds that,” said Wolff. Sunday’s loss drops the Express’ record to 3-2-2 to put them in fourth spot in the B C H L’ s M a i n l a n d Division, three points back of the first-place Spruce Kings. The Express will host the Chilliwack Chiefs Friday at 7 p.m. before squaring off in a rematch in Chilliwack Saturday night and h e a d i n g t o S u r r ey Sunday to take on the Eagles. sports@tricitynews.com
Turnovers key in wins by Ravens, Centaurs Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
An accident and a fog-shrouded Okanagan Connector couldn’t slow down the Terry Fox Ravens. The Ravens walked onto Kelowna’s Apple Bowl a half-hour before game time and hit the ground running in Friday’s clash against the Mt. Boucherie Bears. Nick Agnoletto took the opening kickoff 75 yards for a score to start
the Ravens on their way to a 59-28 win. Ravens quarterback Conner M c Ke e h i t A d r i a l Sellers for a 23-yard touchdown and then connected for 57 yards with Mike West, who broke a number of tackles as he rumbled into the end zone. Keishon Ross also returned a kickoff 80 yards for a score in the first half that ended 28-28. “The boys got a bit of a tongue lashing, to say the least, at the half and
some adjustments were made, especially on D,” said Ravens co-coach Martin McDonnell. The Raven defence took over in the second half, capitalizing on four turnovers to silence the Bear offence. Isaiah Stevens led the way, finishing with 11 tackles, two sacks, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble. Jordon Seney had two sacks, four tackles and a forced fumble, while West was a force on
both sides of the ball with five tackles and two sacks. Brycen Mayo also had a key interception. McKee, West and Kyle Degeau all picked up rushing touchdowns in the second half, with Jason Shamatutu hauling in a 19-yard strike from McKee. West finished the game with 120 yards on 10 carries, while Degeau had nine carries for 102 yards. McKee went 7-for-16 for
134 yards, with three TDs and an interception. He also rushed for 65 yards. The Centennial Centaurs overcame a multitude of turnovers to ground the visiting Kelowna Owls 42-27 Friday. J.P. Kalambay led the Centaurs’ attack, racking up 295 yards on the ground and three touchdowns. Quarterback Nick Okamoto ran one in himself and connected with receiv-

ers Josh Taitinger and Isaiah Stewart for the other two majors. “Kalambay was such a threat on the ground that it opened up space for Nick to connect with his receivers,” said Centennial head coach Simon Quinto. “The final score doesn’t actually show how close the game really was but I was impressed with our defence overall, only giving up three touchdowns [with the other touchdown coming on
special teams] and forcing six turnovers.” Aaron Borg led the defence with eight tackles and forced fumble while Saeed Ali-Hussain racked up seven tackles to go along with an interception. Centennial will travel to Kelowna to face Mt. Boucherie on Friday while the No. 2-ranked Ravens take on the WJ Mouat Hawks in Abbotsford. sports@tricitynews.com

Chargers shock Titans The Coquitlam Chargers mauled the White Rock Titans 47-7 in bantam football action Sunday. It was the second straight win for the Chargers who used a big second-half comeback to down the Cloverdale Leopards 28-13 last week. Quarterback Lucas Gill ran for three touchdowns, with Matt Shuen and Dade Motts also making some big runs.
Liam Stewart rushed for the Chargers’ final touchdown. Stewart, Dayal Hayre, Darrel G e l e ra a n d B owe n Goldade made some big tackles against the Leopards who held a 6-1 halftime lead. The Coquitlam Wildcat defence was dominant in a 31-0 win over the Royal City Hyacks in peewee division play. Defensive linemen Ryan Dougall and Aaron
Tung had a strong game in the trenches. Bronson D e Pa o l i , S e b a s t i a n Bernat, Zack Ryan Thomas, Jason Kyle and Nathan Massey were also standouts in the defensive effort. Quarterback Josh Baba did a good job of spreading the ball around for the Wildcats, who got touchdowns f r o m I s a i a h Jo h n , Ke y S h a u n D o r s e y, Ethan Shuen and Thomas.
Mashinchi powers T-Bird attack Port Moody’s Navid Mashinchi earned Canada West playerof-the-week honours for helping the UBC Thunderbirds soccer team to a pair of wins over the weekend. The UBC midfielder picked up a pair of assists in the T-Birds 4-0 win over the Alberta Golden Bears Saturday night. Coquitlam’s Paul Clerc also got on the scoreboard when he directed in a booming corner kick for his league-leading sixth goal of the season. Milab Mehrabi, also of Coquitlam, provided another UBC goal when he buried a cross from Mashinchi. Mashinchi found the net twice against the Saskatchewan Huskies Friday at Thunderbird Stadium. The fourth-year Commerce student opened the scoring in the 16th minute knocking in his own rebound from a saved penalty kick. Then with the score tied in the 88th minute, Mashinchi got the game winner as he buried a loose ball in the penalty area to give his team a 3-2 victory. The No. 2-ranked T-Birds have now won six in a row to push their record to 7-1. UBC now travels to Prince George for a two-game series against the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves. Tri-City athletes also played major roles for Simon Fraser University over the weekend. Simon Fraser’s men’s soccer team hammered the University Of Mary Marauders 6-0 to reel off their eighth straight win to start the season. Coquitlam’s Jovan Blagojevic scored twice for the Clan. The Clan next face the Seattle Pa c i f i c U n i v e r s i t y Falcons. SFU women battled through double overtime to earn a scoreless draw in their soccer match against the Western Oregon Wolves. Yva Rodriguez of Port Coquitlam almost put the Clan on top with a shot that beat the goalkeeper but rang off the crossbar with 15 minutes remaining.
“Everyone was fighting so hard in this game and you could really see it,” said defender Kelsey Atherley of Port Moody. “We got a great effort from everybody. We know we can play against these teams and the fight that everyone is showing is a sign of good things to come.” With the tie, the Clan’s record moves to 0-2-2 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play. The women’s soccer team will be back in action Thursday at
Terry Fox Field against the Central Washington University Wildcats. The Western Oregon Wolves handed the Clan their first loss on the gridiron, falling 30-9 at Terry Fox Field. Coquitlam’s Bobby Pospischil led SFU receivers with six catches for 86 yards. Case Chin of Port Moody led the defence with 12 tackles. The loss drops the Clan’s record to 2-1 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play.
