PHILIP WARBURTON/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Coquitlam resident Philip Warburton snapped this photo — from a distance — of a bear resting in a tree late last month and sent along this note with it: “Right now, bears are at that stage of the year where they are fattening themselves up for winter and denning time. To get themselves through the winter and hibernation period of their cycle, they need to consume in excess of 20,000 calories a day. Bears can lose up to 40 to 50% of their body mass over a normal hibernation period, thus the urgency to eat a lot. However, bears being bears in a greenbelt/urban setting, will also look for the easy meal. At your house, this is most likely your unsecured garbage or compostable waste. At this time of the year, it is even more important that as residents of the Tri-Cities all homeowners take the appropriate actions to secure their garbage and compost bins prior to pick-up day. With all that said, rest and sleep are at premium for these bears that are on the prowl for food for 20 hours a day. As you can see, quite often they flop where they drop.”

SD43 looks for more cash CUPE raises were negotiated at the provincial level By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Brother, can you spare $950,000? School District 43 has three weeks to come up with a budget-cutting

plan to save that much this school year and a further $1.7 million in 2014/’15 to cover the anticipated cost of wage increases for school support workers. Oct. 22 is the deadline for a plan, which will be made public at a board of education meeting, and school officials are expected to look at every possibility but service cuts.

At Tuesday’s board meeting, SD43’s acting secretary treasurer, Guy Bonnefoy, laid out a process for the budgetcutting exercise that will include meetings with teachers, parents, administrators and support workers. “I know you’ve got a task ahead of you,” Bonnefoy told trustees as he gave his last presentation as acting secretary

treasurer. His post will now be taken over by Mark Ferrari, who was recently hired as SD43’s new secretary treasurer. Although bargaining continues for CUPE workers and isn’t expected to conclude until the end of December, the provincial government requires the district to find money in its current budget to cover 3.5% in

wages announced last month in a B.C.-wide framework. Union locals and boards of education must all vote to ratify the agreement by December for it to take effect. It includes a 1% raise retroactive to July 1, another 2% starting Feb. 1 and 0.5% in May 2014. see $13M TOTAL, page A4

SD43 regs attempt to deal with an ever-changing online world

Tri-City News Friday, October 4, 2013, A3

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

When Heritage Woods secondary school opened in 2006, it was heralded as a model for the future. With Wi-Fi installed from top to bottom, students could access the internet anywhere and teachers were on the forefront of using and developing online learning tools. That was then, a time when Facebook, Twitter and Instagram were barely known. Hardly anyone came to school with their own smartphone or tablet, and nobody understood how quickly someone’s privacy or reputation could be destroyed with a thoughtless social media post. Things have changed in the intervening years and today, the internet is ubiquitous throughout School District 43. Kids bring their own smartphones to school, the web is integrated in learning, fibre optics have enhanced internet access at high schools and traditional but costly textbooks are being replaced with photocopies, PDFs or web links. But with increased freedom and access come new challenges in protecting children’s privacy, guarding against plagiarism and protecting copyright. To address these concerns, SD43 is rolling out a new digital technology code of conduct for staff, and students. “The last time we had an update to this policy [developed in 1997] was in 2005, and Facebook wasn’t well used until 2007. [The policy] wasn’t designed to deal with the social media reality both our teachers and are students are grappling with today,” explained Stephen Whiffin, SD43’s manager of internet systems. Whiffin said even parents have to take more care, and their rights and responsibilities are laid out in the new administrative policy that was approved Tuesday night at the district’s board of education meeting. According to Whiffin, the development of online tools requires not only

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

Laptop computers, tablets and smartphones are now ubiquitous in schools, and School District 43’s new set of policies for online behaviour and social media aim to address their use by students, teachers and parents. an understanding of how they work but what their impact could be on student privacy and other issues. For example, there are numerous tools such as Dropbox, Animoto and Edublogs that teachers can use in class to share documents, create work and encourage students to write. But because the content is stored outside of the country, in the cloud, Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPA) rules apply and parent permission is required before students can use them. “It does create a new standard for us,” Whiffin said while also noting that schools can’t be everywhere and parents will also have to deal with issues that may start at school but end up at home. “We have a shared responsibility there,”he said, suggesting that parents could use the new digital code of conduct to start conversations with their kids. All this is laid out online in new administrative policy that has been put into a user-friendly Digital Citizenship resource available online at www.sd43.bc.ca. (click on Resources). There, teachers, students and parents will see a detailed list of

Cel 604 240 1927 604-941-3838

their rights and responsibilities, links to the latest tools and resources, web links to laws that govern the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the School Act and the Copyright Act, plus behaviour expectations for School District 43. As well, there are links to organizations that inform and protect children about their online safety, anti-bullying resources and help lines for children in addition to videos that show how children use the internet and what the impact might be. The district is also launching a social media education series for teachers, including two workshops and two online presentations, and will be rolling out a new education series to bring educators up to speed on the digital code of conduct. Whiffin said he hopes this new code of conduct will clarify everyone’s rights and responsibilities and will be relevant even as technologies change — because by this time next year, there could a new bunch of social media tools for teachers and students to use. “The challenge we are dealing with,” he said, “is that the tools are changing all the time.’

Vandalism is down but hotspots remain at public schools Broken windows and graffiti continue to be a problem in School District 43 but some schools fare worse than others, district vandalism statistics show. Last year, SD43 paid out $90,000 to repair broken windows and clean up graffiti, down from $113,344 the previous year. But despite the dip, vandalism continues to cost the district a great deal of money at a time when its finances are already stretched. “These are things we could be looking at, especially with our budget,”Coquitlam Trustee Gerri Wallis said Tuesday as the board reviewed its annual vandalism report. Last year, for example, SD43 spent nearly $14,000 to repair vandalism at Port Coquitlam’s Minnekhada middle school, roughly 15% of the district’s entire expenditure on graffiti cleanup and glass breakage. But Minnekhada, located near Hyde Creek community centre, wasn’t so much of a problem over the summer. That distinction belonged to Kwayhquitlum middle school, also in PoCo, where more than $6,000 was spent to repair broken windows between July 1 and Sept. 3. SD43 facilities manager Frank Giampa told the board that vandalism spikes at different times at different schools and is hard to pin down. “It comes in waves,”he said, noting that the district is tackling the issue on several levels, from installing special blinds to deploying security teams at high-risk schools. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

$13M total of Coroner probes youth suicides SD43’s cuts By Tom Fletcher Black Press

continued from front page

Bonnefoy said the recommended wage hikes are for this year and next but also have to be taken into consideration in future years’ budgets. “That’s where we’ve got to build a savings plan that will recognize that amount. That’s the challenge the board has before it now,” Bonnefoy told The Tri-City News.

THE SQUEEZE

Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said that boards have long known about the need to find money in their budget to cover CUPE wage increases and some districts have already implemented savings plans. But SD43 is in a difficult position, having had to make $12.1 million in cuts already to balance this year’s budget. Adding the projected cost of CUPE wage hikes

means the district will be making a total of about $13 million in cuts this year. Last year, the district made $5 million in cuts to balance the budget but has to carry over a deficit of $10 million because of budget overages last year and accounting changes. That $10 million also has to be paid out in future years and will have to come out of the district’s annual funding allotment. Fassbender said the support staff settlement meets the government’s “co-operative gains” mandate imposed on all public service unions. School board chair Melissa Hyndes, a Port Moody trustee, has said CUPE workers deserve the wage increase negotiated by the provincial government but it shouldn’t be left up to boards to fund it.

VICTORIA — Despite the media and political focus on bullying, an analysis of recent youth suicides in B.C. has found that bullying was a factor in only one in four cases. The B.C. Coroners Service released the report of a death review panel Thursday, looking at 91 youth suicides between 2008 and 2012. It recommends better coordination between schools, hospitals and mental health services to identify teens at risk of suicide, and follow-up after suicides to deter-

mine drug use, sexual orientation and other possible risk factors. More than 60% of young people studied had previous or current contact with the mental health system, the largest common factor. But 27% of the cases were teens who took their lives without any previous warning signs identified by family, school or people in the community. Almost half of the teens in the study were 17 and 18, and two out of three successful suicides were boys. Of the 91 cases, 18 were aboriginal, a rate about twice as high as the general population.

Michael Egilson, who chaired the B.C. Coroners Service Child Death Review Panel, said the next step is to meet with young people to get their input into how best to reach vulnerable teens before they harm themselves. NDP children and family development critic Carole James said more awareness and study of the problem is helpful, but the recommendations have been made in other studies by coroners and Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s independent children’s advocate. James said parents often describe a “revolv-

ing door” where teens with mental illness go to emergency, get medication and are told to return to the hospital or call police if they have another crisis. Meanwhile they go on a waiting list for counselling or residential treatment, which can take several months. James said when she questioned Minister of Children and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux in budget debates this summer, she was told there are no more resources in the current budget to expand youth mental health services. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

‘I yelled my wife’s name’

continued from front page

Dan Reaveley and the group of friends he was traveling with had just witnessed an SUV strike a median and were trying to assist the couple in the vehicle. The 31-year-old father of four told B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster that he was about to move his friend’s truck into a position that would block traffic when he heard a loud bang. When he looked up, he noticed his wife, Charlene, lying on the road next to another victim, Lorraine Cruz. “I yelled my wife’s name,” he said. “I jumped out of the truck and ran toward her.” There was no indication that the vehicle involved in the collision had attempted to slow down, Reaveley added, noting he did not hear any horns or the sounds of braking in the moments before impact. Crown prosecutor Chris McPherson told the court the vehicle in question was a white Jeep Cherokee driven by Cory Sater. The prosecution contends that Sater, who is on trial facing 10 charges, had been drinking that evening and was impaired at the time of the crash. On Feb. 18, 2011, the Reaveleys were socializ-

Dan Reaveley (left) testified this week at the trial of Cory Sater, who’s accused of driving the vehicle that struck and killed Charlene Reaveley and Lorraine Cruz on Feb. 18, 2011. ing with friends Giacomo deBenedictis and Kimberly Moore (now deBenedictis). The couples had eaten dinner at a restaurant near Lougheed Highway and North Road before moving on to the Boulevard Casino. The group was heading back to the Reaveleys’ home shortly after midnight when they saw the SUV spin out of control and crash into a median. Dan Reaveley and deBenedictis rushed to assist the couple in the vehicle, pulling Cruz and her boyfriend, Paulo Calimbahin, out of one of the windows. Charlene Reaveley also helped, hugging and

comforting Cruz, who was distraught and crying after the crash. Earlier on Tuesday, the court heard testimony from Calimbahin, who was hurt in the hit-andrun and had his leg amputated below the knee as a result of his injuries. He told Sater’s lawyer, Tony Serka, that he had been teaching Cruz how to drive and that she was behind the wheel at the time of the initial accident. After the SUV hit the median, he said she moved to the backseat and he moved to the driver’s seat so that he could try and get the door open. Serka questioned Calimbahin about Cruz’s

demeanour following the initial accident. The witness told the lawyer that while Cruz was upset, she was not panicking and both of them were calm when they were standing on the roadway following the collision. “Did you think it was dangerous to stand on the road?”Serka asked. “We were clearly visible,” Calimbahin responded. Calimbahin said he was knocked unconscious after being hit by the Jeep and has no recollection of events following the hit-and-run. The trial continues. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A final draft of Port Moody’s official community plan (OCP) should be coming before council in the near future, according to Mayor Mike Clay. Council met for a third time on Monday to finish its chapter-bychapter deliberations of the city’s main planning document, which is going through an update. Po r t M o o d y politicians made a number of changes to the 231-page visioning document and city staff are now making the requested revisions, Clay said. Once completed, the OCP will be presented to the public prior to an as-yetunscheduled town hall meeting so residents can have their final say before the document is adopted. Council members met three times for about 12 hours total at public meetings to finish the review. The impact of the Evergreen Line’s arrival in the community in 2016 has influenced several sections of the OCP, with specific mentions of transit-oriented development, which is a proposal to create denser neighbourhoods within a five- to 10-minute walk of Evergreen stations. The OCP contains 17 chapters on everything from community vision and goals, to overall land use strategy, to arts and culture and heritage conservation. There are also 15 maps that cover Po r t M o o d y ’ s parks, open spaces and public facilities, plus bike routes, and steep slopes. jroessle@tricitynews.com

Utility and rail line relocations are now finished By Jason Roessle THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Evergreen Line construction continues daily in Port Moody and there will be further changes and disruptions as work progresses. A m a n d a Fa r r e l l , Evergreen project officer, made a presentation to Port Moody council Sept. 24 about some of the work done to date, and what local residents can expect in the coming months. All the utility and rail line relocations, plus the widening of North Road are finished, she said, and a summer 2016 opening is still projected. Work on the north tunnel portal has begun and the boring machine is expected to arrive in December. This massive machine will be delivered in three parts over three weeks at night due to road closures required. The boring is anticipated to begin in February 2014 and take about a year, including

Cottonwood changes Burquitlam residents can learn more next week about an Evergreen Line construction project on Cottonwood Avenue. The provincial government will host a meeting on Thursday, Oct. 10 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Evergreen Line office (Barnet Highway and Mariner Way) in Coquitlam on its plan to narrow Cottonwood between North Road and Whiting Way. The street is expected to go down to a single, one-way eastbound lane. Meanwhile, Maurice Gravelle, Coquitlam’s general manager of strategic initiatives, told the city’s council in committee this week a number of projects are underway in anticipation of rapid transit coming to Coquitlam. The city is currently negotiating with the province for park-and-ride sites for 150 to 200 spots around SkyTrain stations in Coquitlam, he said. As well, the province has agreed to put special effects lighting into columns along North and Clarke roads and Pinetree Way. The Evergreen Line will be running from Lougheed Town Centre, through Port Moody to Coquitlam City Centre by the summer of 2016. jwarren@tricitynews.com

set-up and take-down of the boring machine. Key to the machine’s operation is securing a permanent water source, which it uses for cutting, cooling and cleaning (the machine itself will recycle the used water). A soil-removal contract has been awarded by EGRT to Richmond-

based Quantum Murray, which will truck the dirt from the site along Barnet Highway to St. Johns Street, then down Lougheed Highway to Colony Farm. Farrell estimated six trucks an hour will be working for 16 hours a day. Based on studies, currently, there are 17

trucks an hour driving along Barnet Highway. EGRT will be doing a roadway condition survey prior to work starting and any damage caused by the extra trucks will be repaired after the project is completed. As the project progresses, full closures along portions of Clark Street will be required but access to the West Coast Express station will be maintained, the park and ride will remain open and the same number of parking stalls will be available, said Farrell. Boat trailer parking will also continue to be in place. PoMo Coun. Rick Glumac asked if there will be noise abatement plans put forward for residents concerned about the volume and visibility of SkyTrain, to which Farrell said the company has already identified locations for potential walls. jroessle@tricitynews.com

Drive calmly

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

■ WHAT WE THINK:

t’s no secret that the Tri-Cities are, at times, an incredibly difficult and frustrating place in which to drive. There are regular traffic tie-ups, the train crossings at Westwood Street and slowdowns from construction. There are also ever more cars on the road, despite TransLink’s best efforts to get a larger proportion of the population to use public transit. With the congestion and slow downs, tempers can flare, as was witnessed in Port Moody earlier this week, when police responded to an apparent road rage call on St. Johns Street. Admittedly, there are people who simply ignore the rules of the road and exhibit poor driving etiquette but that’s no excuse to lose your cool and harass another driver just to prove how incensed you are by their actions. Stay calm, take a deep breath and ease your foot off the gas pedal. You’ll live longer. And you’ll be calmer.

Q the

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Have you ever been the target of road rage while driving in the TriCities?

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:

Do you support Metro Vancouver’s directive to ban food waste from garbage by 2015?

RESULTS: Yes 48% / No 52%

Re-thinking waste – from cradle to cradle AS I SEE IT Malcolm Brodie

very year, local governments in Canada spend 2.6 billion tax dollars managing 34 million tonnes of garbage. For decades, our emphasis has been on waste“management”— we accept the problem as unavoidable and do our best to reduce its negative impacts. Through activities like recycling, composting and waste-to-energy, we extract the maximum value from materials but these methods don’t address the root causes of waste. So why do we have waste in the first place? In a word, design. The things we buy and use daily are designed to be thrown away. We call this cradleto-grave design because products are born, used for a while and finally discarded to be buried or burned. But there is a new paradigm on the horizon

— cradle-to-cradle — where manufacturers consciously design their products and packaging to be easily disassembled, repaired, reused and recycled. Cradle-to-cradle represents a shift from a “take, make and throw away”model to a“circular economy,”where end-of-life materials become inputs for new products, just like in nature. Picture a forest floor: Billions of years of collective evolution have created a system in which nutrients and materials flow effortlessly and reciprocally, without any waste whatsoever. That is the kind of economic system we should aspire to, and nature may be our greatest teacher. According to cradle-to-cradle visionaries William McDonough and Michael Braungart, we can“eliminate the concept of waste — not reduce, minimize, or avoid it, but eliminate the very concept”through mindful design. We’re all in this together and there are many opportunities for positive action. Governments can enact laws to support the emergence of a

circular economy while creating a level playing field that fosters innovation. Businesses can empower their creative designers and engineers to make products whose materials remain useful at the end while using reclaimed materials in new products.

Businesses can also encourage innovative, sustainable packaging with end-of-life solutions. And municipalities, NGOs and other sustainability advocates can work collaboratively to educate consumers while promoting zero waste habits. That’s what Canada’s new National Zero Waste Council is all about: government, business and NGO leaders joining forces to advocate for sustainable design, to influence consumer behaviour and to lobby senior governments for better laws, all toward transforming our relationship with waste. We need to rethink waste on all levels and by working together, we will do it. Join us at Metro Vancouver’s third annual Zero Waste Conference on Oct. 16 at which we will officially launch Canada’s National Zero Waste Council. Malcolm Brodie is the Chair of the National Zero Waste Council. He is also the Chair of Metro Vancouver’s Zero Waste Committee and the mayor of Richmond.

FACE TO FACE: Is the TransLink referendum pure democracy or pure politics?

Money at play, he wants his say S

ome of our elected officials apparently don’t have a lot respect for the electorate. Some Metro Vancouver mayors don’t like the BC Liberal government’s idea of holding a referendum next year on TransLink funding. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan recently told The Burnaby NewsLeader that it is a“ridiculous”to go to referendum on such a complex issue. Is that because we’re too dumb to understand such a“complex”issue? Is that really what our politicians think of us? Referendums are the purest form of democracy. They give individuals a say on the important decisions of the day. They also ensure that decisions are made without the influence of special interests — and yes, politicians have special interests. In many cases, holding referendums is the only way for citizens to have a say. As we all know, party loyalty reigns supreme in our system of politics. Our MPs and MLAs are whipped to vote the way the party leader wants them to and too often it isn’t the same as what constituents want. We’ve had a few referendums of note in British Columbia. Most recently, we had a plebiscite on the much maligned harmonized sales

tax and British Columbians voted that down. In 2005 and in 2009, we had votes on electoral reform — also voted down. And in 1992, we got to participate in a national referendum about the Charlottetown Accord on significant changes to our constitution. Weren’t those“complex”issues? We should have more direct democracy in this country, not less. Transit funding, in particular, is one of the most important issues facing this region today. TransLink and the Metro Vancouver mayors’ council have proven over and over that they don’t have the wherewithal to sort out the region’s “complex” transit funding issues, let alone their own finances. As my friend Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation recently wrote in The Province, these are inefficient, spendthrift organizations that need some serious oversight. “[A referendum is] the ultimate… hammer of accountability in the hands of taxpayers, who paid $1.3 billion last year in gas taxes, parking taxes, Hydro levies, property taxes, bridge tolls and fares to TransLink,” he wrote. With that kind of money at play, I certainly want my say.

“But by using the referendum subterfuge, the BC Liberal government will make TransLink the enemy that requires more money from us.” Jim Nelson What’s your take on this week’s Face to Face topic and what they have to say? Email your thoughts to newsroom@tricitynews.com.

Here’s how to hide a tax hike A

ndy, you’re being a bit naive. You actually think the purpose of the TransLink referendum is to serve democracy? Ha! The TransLink referendum has only one purpose: to camouflage yet another government tax increase. This time, a referendum is setting up TransLink as the villain for an inevitable transportation tax increase. It’s the latest wrinkle in a tried and true BC Liberal strategy started by Gordon Campbell and eagerly adopted by Premier Christy Clark: Make a Crown corporation confusingly semi-private — just private enough that you can blame them for rate increases while simultaneously scooping millions in dividends from them each year. BC Ferries gives the BC Liberal government $6 million per year. We pay that tax in continuously increased ferry fares. BC Hydro is good for $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after that. British Columbians will pay that tax in raised Hydro rates — as much as 60% in the next five years. ICBC gives government $226 million per year, another hefty tax British Columbians pay in regularly increased insurance rates. Make no mistake, these are all tax increases and the TransLink referen-

dum, while wrapped in altruism, will end up with British Columbians paying more taxes while the BC Liberal government can again blame an arms-length agency. In 2007,TransLink was given an expanded, impossible mandate, including responsibility for a bunch of old and not yet built bridges like the Pattullo and Golden Ears.TransLink was set up to fail and to be the scapegoat for government transportation tax increases. The TransLink referendum will likely offer five options: • raise property taxes; • raise gas taxes; • institute road pricing (tolls); • add an ICBC insurance levy ($300 to $500 per year); • raise each of the above a bit. The referendum won’t offer an option for no increased taxes, or for a progressive tax increase, or to increase corporate taxes. Whatever we“choose”in this referendum, we’ll be paying more taxes. But by using the referendum subterfuge, the BC Liberal government will make TransLink the enemy that requires more money from us, just as it has done to BC Hydro, ICBC and BC Ferries for years. That’s the purpose of the TransLink referendum, Andy, not any profound reverence for democracy.

savings make trip across the border well worth the voyage The Editor, Re: “Is cross-border shopping un-Canadian or understandable?” (Face to Face, The TriCity News, Sept. 27). I am with Face to Face columnist Jim Nelson. My love for my country shouldn’t cost twice the price. I am a regular crossborder shopper (at least two or three times a

month). Not only is it a day of hugh savings and a nice lunch, it’s a day out with a friend or family member. I buy most of my clothing at Macy’s — when they send me at least six coupons a month offering me $20 off a $50 purchase as well as 20% of entire purchase coupons, why wouldn’t I? The store also

offers a 10% discount card for all Canadian shoppers, not just ones with a Macy’s card. I find the selection in the United States to be better than in Canada. A n d yo u c a n f i n d things you can’t find here. The prices are so much better, it is worth the trip. For example, my $99 retro bike was at a big

store here for $150 and this past Christmas, I bought my great nieces a riding dune buggy in the U.S. for $150 when I could have paid $399 at the big box store here. So on two items, that is a savings of well over $300. And for savings like that, it is hard not to crossborder shop. Maggie Keeping, Coquitlam

Annual municipal elections should come back The Editor, Re. “Four years?” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, Sept. 25). I don’t know who wrote the editorial suggesting longer terms for municipal politicians but they clearly don’t know anything about the subject or democracy. Every year, the Union of BC Municipalities trots out this self-serving claptrap to keep civic politicians’ greedy snouts in the public

trough a little longer. The current threeyear terms (which were brought in by former Socred premier Rita Johnston) have been a disaster, right up there with scrapping the inspector of municipalities and “empowering” councils through the Community Charter. We used to have very economical annual elections and a high level of accountability and stewardship. November

elections were a routine job carried out by staff at little cost. Now, staff are apparently incapable and, every third year, consultants are hired to run an unnecessarily expensive election. Elected officials now treat the public with contempt, secure in the knowledge that they cannot be voted out for three years and don’t have to report to anyone in between. The harm being done

Celebrate Oktoberfest in Coq. at A Class Act event on Oct. 18 A local tradition is merging with a European more than 200 years old at an event slated for next Friday evening. The 16th annual A Class Act, a Douglas College Foundation fundraiser, is embracing Oktoberfest and all things Bavarian this year with a range of German beers, wines and food, plus the sounds of traditional music at the David Lam campus in Coquitlam from 7 to 10 p.m. Beer and wine expert John Gerum is arranging the beverage selection and says craft beers typically follow the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 that limited ingredients to barley, water and hops. â€œThis became the template for emerging beer regions around the world,â€? Gerum says, adding that, later, yeast and malt were added. Brewers of beer stuck mainly with the basic ingredients until the mid-20th century, when â€œthe big North American breweries starting making beers out of corn, rice and chemicals, called adjuncts.â€?

tri-city news file photo

A number of German beers and wines will be available for patrons of the upcoming A Class Act event, held at Coquitlamâ€™s Douglas College next Friday. This commercialized, standardized beer led to a call by some for the return to the old craft beers, leading to the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) movement in the U.K. that later spread to other countries, including Canada. CAMRA has branches across B.C. including Vancouver and the Fraser Valley (including

the Tri-Cities). The event will feature several craft beers, including Samuel Adamsâ€™ annual Oktoberfest offering, which is a marzen. There will also be several brands not available from government liquor stores, said Gerum. A Class Act is hosted by Douglas College Foundation with assistance from students

in the hospitality management program and, in addition to the samplings of beer, wine and German food, includes live and silent auctions and live music. Attendees will also get a keepsake glass. Tickets are $45 each and can be reserved by emailing foundation@ douglascollege.ca or by calling 604-777-6176.

Some trees to be removed from Coq.’s Ridge Park The Tri-CiTy News

Hikers and dog walkers are being asked to exercise caution while strolling through a

Coquitlam park this fall. Starting the week of Oct. 15, contractors hired by the city will be taking out young, dead, standing and fallen trees from part of Ridge Park,

a 148-acre green space that can be entered from several points, including Parkway Boulevard and Hampton Park. L a n ny E n g l u n d , Coquitlam’s urban

forestry and park services manager, who is also a certified arborist, said the trees present a high wildfire risk for Westwood Plateau. The tree removal,

Scientists project warmer, wetter winters for B.C. earlier runoff could spell summer water supply problems By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Climate change will likely mean warmer, rainier winters in B.C. as well as reduced summer stream flows, a forum in Vancouver heard Monday as new international findings were released. Dr. Francis Zwiers, director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consort ium (PCIC) and vice-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) working group 1, said projections for B.C. point to further warming of 2.9 degrees in the winter and 2.4 degrees in the summer by 2100, under a moderate carbon emission scenario. Winter warming on that scale could translate into 17 to 51 more days per year of frostfree conditions, he told the forum, in the wake of the already measured reduction of 24 annual frost days since 1900 and a 2.1-degree increase in the province’s winter

temperatures. While a longer growing season might be a boon to gardeners and farmers, Zwiers noted warming winters have also allowed unwanted species like the mountain pine beetle to flourish and wreak havoc on Interior forests. “That’s an impact that has been linked to a changing climate,” Zwiers said. “You can just imagine there would be many other organisms that would find B.C. to be a much more hospitable place to live, even in a slightly warmer climate than we have at the moment, or a slightly wetter climate than we have at the moment.” PCIC researchers projected climate changes in B.C. over the rest of this century using the same models as the IPCC. Wi n t e r w a r m i n g would be greater in the northeast than other parts of the province, while summer warming projections are roughly uniform. Zwiers said the modelling shows winter, spring and fall precipitation will increase in B.C., with a 10 per cent increase in precipitation in winters expected and summers

potentially getting wetter in the north but drier in the south. Wetter, warmer winters could affect the province’s supply of water for drinking, farming, power generation and salmon migration. With less water being stored as snow over the winter, Zwiers said, B.C. can expect higher amounts of winter and spring runoff, leaving less behind in the upper elevations to deliver water in summer. The new IPCC report reiterated that the planet is warming and people are the probable cause. But some observers criticized it for downgrading projected temperature increases due to a 15-year “pause” in average surface temperature rise. Zwiers maintained human influence is clear and action is urgently needed to both reduce emissions and adapt to expected “substantial” impacts. The IPCC report predicts Canada will face more warming than the global average, along with more frequent and more intense extreme weather events. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Anmore, Belcarra could be added to mobile licence list By Janis Warren The Tri-ciTy News

A new Metro West program launched this week that allows tradespeople to work freely in six municipalities is good news for mobile business owners and entrepreneurs, a Coquitlam city councillor says. On Tuesday, Burnaby, N ew Westm in ster, Surrey, Richmond, Vancouver and Delta kicked off their intermunicipal mobile business licensing system for contractors and freelancers to buy a common permit. The mobile permit is considered an add-on to the regular business li-

cence; in the past, businesses had to purchase single licences for every municipality they worked in. Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge, who helped to pilot the TriCity mobile licences this year with the TriCities Chamber of Commerce, said he’ll meet with his committee this or next month to look at expansion. S i n c e J a n u a r y, 80 mobile licences have been bought in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody under the TriCity program — about half of the intended target for the year. Hodge said he hopes his committee — also

made up of PoCo Coun. Mike Forrest and PoMo Coun. Diana Dilworth plus city staff — will consider adding Anmore and Belcarra to the Tri-City fold. “From a geography standpoint, it makes sense to bring them on board,”he said. And once the two villages are included, the Tri-City program could either extend regionally to Metro West or to the east, to be part of the Upper Fraser Valley system. His aim is to see a single mobile licence for all of the Lower Mainland. In total, 60 B.C. communities are part of a mobile business licensing program, with

local governments seeing a greater compliance as a result. It has also generated significant revenues for the participating municipalities. The cost for an OkanaganSimilkameen mobile licence is $150; in Metro West, it’s $250; and in the Tri-Cities, it’s $165. Hodge expects the TriCity program will take off at the end of the year, when business owners renew their permits. And Dilworth said: “A lot of people don’t know about it but it’s new. It could take a couple of licensing cycles before we see it become a success.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Who is protecting Canada’s water? GREEN SCENE Elaine Golds

MORE GREEN TALK Burke Mountain Naturalists meet on Tuesday. More info, page A25

Gov’t is changing regs for the worse

ast Sunday was World Rivers Day. Appropriately, it was a day of heavy rain that offered great conditions for salmon moving upstream to spawn but may have dampened the spirits of volunteers at outdoor events to celebrate our waters. We have such an abundance of water in this part of B.C. that it is all too easy to take it for granted. But who is protecting water quality and working to ensure rivers continue to flow and support vital aquatic ecosystems across Canada? If you think it is the federal government, you’re very wrong. This is the point of view expressed in the recently published book Down the Drain, How We Are Failing to Protect Our Water Resources by Ralph Pentland and Chris Wood. The authors provide an enlightening overview of legislation in Canada that is supposedly protecting our rivers

as well as the quality of the waters that flow in them. Soon after Confederation in 1867, prime minister John A. Macdonald wisely brought forward legislation to protect fish and prevent the release of chemical substances or other deleterious substances into the water.

This was the Fisheries Act, Canada’s first environmental legislation and, until recently, arguably the most effective such legislation ever passed in Canada. This was followed in 1882 with the Navigable Waters Protection Act, designed to protect waterways and prevent the dumping of material into

streams, rivers and lakes. But both of these longstanding and highly respected acts were severely weakened by Stephen Harper’s government last year. Because the British North America Act delegated the authority to regulate natural resources to the provinces, the federal government has remained timid about undertaking effective measures to protect drinking water. As a consequence, we still have only federal drinking water guidelines rather than regulations. This sets us apart from most of the developed nations of the world, where enforceable regulations protect drinking water quality. In this regard, British Columbia is long overdue to modernize its Water Act, and there are indications the provincial government may finally undertake this in 2014. While authors Pentland and Wood provide fascinating histories of a number of river systems in Canada, I

found their description of what is happening in the Mackenzie River system and its upstream tributaries to be the most compelling example of the challenges we face to protect our rivers. The Mackenzie River system, the 10th largest river basin in the world, drains 20% of Canada. Its annual discharge is only slightly smaller than that of the St. Lawrence River. The fossil energy reserves found within the land it drains are among the largest in the world. Yet Canadians know little about the magnificent Mackenzie and the threats it faces. The Peace and Athabaska Rivers are its major upstream tributaries, flowing east from the Rockies. Where these two rivers meet at the western end of Lake Athabaska in northern Alberta, one of the world’s largest inland river deltas is formed. Its only rival for size is the much celebrated Okavango delta in Africa — and I would guess more

Canadians have heard of the Okavango delta than our own. The wetlands where the waters of Peace and Athabaska mingle are one of the most important nesting grounds for waterfowl in North America, including endangered whooping cranes. In 1983, the United Nations proclaimed these wetlands a World Heritage Site. The Athabaska River, which flows through the tar sands, is now becoming highly polluted and has reduced flows due to use of its water for tar sand oil extraction. In many places, toxic tailing ponds are separated from the river by only a dike through which leakage is likely to occur. Despite this, poorly designed research undertaken by industry and government had initially failed to find evidence of tar sand pollution. Then, in 2010, research undertaken by world-renowned scientist David Schindler showed elevated levels of carcinogenic heavy metals in the water. His research was supported by years of personal observations from local fishers, who documented deformed fish in the Athabaska. At one point, they had collected more than 200

kg of deformed fish for research but government scientists refused to collect them for study. Pentland and Wood also describe one revealing incident in 2012 — in the midst of yet another round of cutbacks in scientific staff that monitor water quality — in which the Conservative government abruptly terminated an ongoing study into the impact of fossil fuel development in the Athabaska-Mackenzie watershed. This study was not only halted; all the existing testimony and research gathered over the two previous years was ordered to be destroyed. I was shocked to learn our federal government has willfully destroyed evidence that taxpayers have paid to collect. What is our government trying to hide from its citizens? People who wish to learn more should read Pentland and Wood’s book, which is now available at Coquitlam Public Library.

TRI-CITY SPOTLIGHT: Lots of help for the Share food bank, PMAC turns ground

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Officials at the Royal Columbian Hospital, which serves the Tri-Cities, last month accepted a $19,312 donation from Telus employees. Company rep Larry Kozak presented the cheque to RCH foundation president and CEO Adrienne Bakker (middle) and board director Meldy Harris. Meanwhile, the hospital is gearing up for Donation Day on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Radio stations 93.7 JRFM, 102.7 The Peak, RJ1200 and RimJhim will be broadcasting live from RCH to raise funds for the facility. To contribute, call 604-310-4000 or visit rchcares.com.

The two forces also raised $150 for the Share food bank, located at 2615 Clarke St. RIGHT: Meanwhile, two Grade 11 students have been congratulated for their volunteer work at the Share food bank. Kiera Allen and Shannon Kennedy were at the facility last week to bag and clean up — and the girls got a special visit from the Share Care Bear for their efforts, spokesperson Maria Pichichero said. Port Moody crooner Frankie Cena was with host Ria Jade (second from right) for last month’s launch of the eveRIAthing television show on Shaw. Cena, who also models for American Eagle, and Jade have performed together and, in August, they made it to the finalists’ round of Simon Cowell’s You Generation group competition. Meanwhile, Cena will appear her Monday, Oct. 7 episode, titled Staying Competitive. Also pictured at the premiere are Treenee Lopez and Miss World Canada 2012 Tara Teng. EveRIAthing is on Shaw channel 116 on Mondays at 9:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.

Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay joined MP James Moore — Canada’s minister of industry — and arts leader Ann Kitching last Saturday for a groundbreaking ceremony at the Port Moody Arts Centre. PMAC will expand its St. John’s Street facility by linking with a heritage home. A $200,000 fundraising campaign was launched last month to build a connecting atrium between PMAC and the Centennial Appleyard House. Other dignitaries at the soil turning included MP Fin Donnelly and MLA Linda Reimer; the shovel was decorated by PMAC instructor Agata Teodorovicz.

ART WORK

Students at Riverside secondary are enjoying a new art installation inside the Port Coquitlam school. Teacher-librarian Sue Kilpatrick said the artwork, titled Adventures through the Real and Imagined World — which was inspired by the UK street artist Phlegm — spans above two locker banks on the upper floor. The large-scale collaboration involved 35 art students in Grades 9 to 12.

LEED-ERS

A Coquitlam store has achieved LEED certification, a top environmental standard in building. Target, which has an outlet in Coquitlam Centre mall (2929 Barnet Hwy.), now has the designation at 68 of its newly launched stores in Canada. LEED certification requires audits in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

GObbLE uP

A BC Thanksgiving Food Drive that happened last month in Coquitlam collected nearly 8,000 pounds of non-perishable food for Share. The provincial-wide event brought in more than 400,000 pounds of food for 50 food banks. The local BCTFD event in Coquitlam was sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and was joined by many friends and family volunteers.

WIN-WIN

Coquitlam city hall rounded up two significant awards at last month’s Union of BC Municipalities’ convention. The city was one of seven municipalities to win a $10,000 grant for being “Open for Business.” Meanwhile, the city was also named the provincial winner of best practices in civic engagement. The accolade was handed out out for its recycling and waste reduction school workshops program.

BUSINESS PROFILE: Concrete fire tables by Anmore’s Concrete Lifestyles

Getting cozy outside by the fire By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NewS

A patio feature that’s popular in California is starting to burn bright in B.C., thanks in part to a manufacturer from Anmore. Richard Whalen was looking to expand his company, Concrete Lifestyles, and about 18 months ago he took a course through Cheng Design in Oakland that specialized in building concrete fire tables. He brought the concept home and started researching and developing the product, based on the often-blustery west coast weather. Now, his concrete fire tables are being sold by five retailers in the Lower Mainland, including barbecue and fireplace stores in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. His fire tables can also be seen at Fogg n’ Suds Restaurant and Beer Bar in Richmond and at Brown’s Socialhouse in New Westminster. Whalen said he can turn around eight to 10 concrete fire tables a month from his Maple Ridge studio. The process involves casting the piece, stripping and hand-polishing the concrete and allowing it to cure for two weeks before placing the burners in. The fire tables are ignited like a

barbecue — that is, turning a locked valve for the gas or propane to seep up, which is then lit with a tall lighter. The flame, which can be protected with a 5” tall glass windscreen, can rise about a foot from fire glass, fire beads or lava rock. Whalen’s concrete fire tables typically measure 36 by 36 inches; however, they can be custom made for size and colour, he said. And, he stressed, they are designed exclusively for an outdoor patio — not for an indoor living space. “I think they give off a great ambiance for a social gathering,” Whalen said. “Sometimes, we get our family or friends over and they don’t want to leave! Fire tables provide a very comfortable setting outdoors.” Whalen said the fire tables are also attractive as they give off heat but not smoke. As well, they can also be used for apartments, where permitted. Through Houzz.com, Whalen’s concrete fire tables have piqued the interest of many home decorators around the world including from Costa Rica, NewYork and Romania. • For more information on Concrete Lifestyles or its concrete fire tables, visit concretelifestyles.ca.

Imagine a group of strangers sitting around a campfire, listening and watching, silent and unmoving, as you spin a terrifying tale, knitting its loathsome strands together one by one as the firelight flickers about your face. This is the effect — the atmosphere — Coquitlam and Port Moody public libraries want you to create with your submissions for their annual Scary Story Contest for young people, sponsored by The Tri-City News.

The rules are: • Only residents of Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Anmore and Belcarra can submit stories. • Stories must be e-mailed — as a Word attachment and/or as text inside the body of the email — to scarystories2013@gmail.com no later than Sunday, Oct. 20 (submissions sent later than Oct. 20 will not be considered). • Stories can be no longer than 500 words (the title does not count towards the total). • Each story must include the following words: sepulchral, fathomless and unnerving. • Writers must include their name, age, city of residence and phone number with their entries. • Each entry must be entirely original, written only by the author whose name is on the entry. Winners in each age category will receive prizes valued at: $75, $50 and $25 for first-, second- and third-place winners respectively. And some winning entries will be published in The Tri-City News on Oct. 30. The annual Scary Story Contest is a partnership between Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and The Tri-City News.

Counting songbirds at Colony Farm Bird watchers have long known that Colony Farm Park is a hotspot for migratory songbirds but until recently, they didn’t know just how important the park’s fields and hedgerows were for these birds. For the past five years, Derek Matthews and other volunteers have operated a bird monitoring and banding station in the park and the results have been impressive: To date, almost 30,000 individual birds of 92 species have been banded. At next Tuesday’s meeting of the Burke Mountain Naturalists, Matthews will give a slide presentation describing the details behind these figures. One of the team’s observations is a precipitous decline in birds that specialize in feeding on flying insects. Such

A bird monitoring station in Colony Farm Park has been operating for five years and some of the results will be presented at the Oct. 8 Burke Mountain Naturalists meeting in Coquitlam. drops have been observed across the country and Environment Canada estimates that the population of barn swallows has decreased by more than 80% since the 1970s. Matthews is the director of the Vancouver Avian Research Centre,

an organization dedicated to ornithological research, education and conservation operated by volunteers. Members are trained to safely capture and band birds; once banded, individual birds can be tracked for the rest of their lives. Matthews’ presentation

to the Naturalists will describe the Colony Farm Park banding program and will include information on why they band, how it works and how others can get involved. At the same meeting, copies of a new book Burke and Widgeon: A Hiker’s Guide by author

Tri-City News Friday, October 4, 2013, A29 Centennial street banner art project

C. Dumaine I am a lifelong resident of the Tri-Cities who now lives in Mary Hill and

thinks Port Coquitlam is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. My favorite things about Port Coquitlam are: the small-town feel; the way you bump into friendly faces when you walk down the street; and the spectacular natural scenery! I work as a fibre artist and teach in local art centres and institutions. I also exhibit my work locally. I was one of the founding directors of the Friends of Leigh Square Society (aka FLSS) and have done lots of volunteering at local schools

Think before kids go trick or treating

A group educating children about child sexual exploitation is calling on parents to choose their kids’ costumes carefully this Halloween. The Children of the Street Society is once again pointing out that dressing youngsters up as a “pimp” or “ho” glamorizes the sexual exploitation of youth. “The message is simple: it’s not socially acceptable to dress up as a ‘pimp,’ gangster, sex trade worker or wear costumes that sexualize youth this Halloween,” executive director Diane Sowden said in a press release. “Earning a profit off of the buying and selling of children and youth, glamorizing the sex trade for a gangster lifestyle is only further contributing to our false perceptions about these harsh realities Instead, the society is encouraging children, youth and adults

Coquitlam-based Children of the Street Society says spooky costumes like these are fine but what’s really scary are costumes that sexualize children. to choose appropriate costumes that represent their own individuality and creativity. According to the group (www.childrenofthestreet.com), which provides workshops for students in School District 43, the average age of kids entering the sex trade in Canada is 12 to 14 years. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

The Kitchen: Is where most house fires start Fire Prevention Week oct. 6-12 Burning cakes, flaming turkeys, boiling water: E-Comm fire dispatchers warn kitchen fires most destructive For the majority of people a kitchen is the most used room in the house, the place where everyone gathers to eat, catches up at the end of the day or entertains guests – but it’s also where most house fires start. With Fire Prevention Week and Thanksgiving around the corner, E-Comm’s fire dispatch team is reminding home chefs to take proper cooking precautions to reduce kitchen hazards. “One of the most common 9-1-1 fire calls we receive are from people who have accidentally left a boiling pot on the stove,” says Trish McMurray, E-Comm Fire Dispatcher. “The results can be devastating; please don’t ever leave a pot unattended on the stove or go out of the house while food is cooking in the oven.” Kitchen fires are the fastest-spreading and most destructive type of residential fire. From burning cakes to flaming turkeys and boiling water mishaps, the number one cause of residential fires originates in the kitchen. E-Comm’s fire dispatchers receive all kinds of calls from people experiencing dangerous situations in the kitchen. Topping the list as the main culprit of kitchen fires are hot oil or grease fires and boiling water left on the stove for too long. Oven fires are also a major concern along with microwaves which can result in a fire when non-microwavable dishes are used or when someone accidentally sets the timer on their microwave for one hour instead of one minute. Another danger is when

E-Comm 9-1-1 provides dispatch for 18 fire departments “Recently we had a call from a person who microwaved in southwest B.C. – including fire departments in Port a beanbag (used for sore muscles) for two hours instead Moody - and answers nearly one million 9-1-1 calls each of two minutes, causing extensive smoke damage,” says year for Metro Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast, Whistler, Jennifer Gjaltema, E-Comm Fire Dispatch Manager.

Stylish living at Woodbridge’s Salix in Surrey By Kerry Vital

The Clayton Heights neighbourhood is one of Surrey’s most popular areas for families and first-time buyers alike, with its easy access to amenities, shopping, dining and recreation. Now Woodbridge Homes is offering beautiful homes at a great value with its condominium development Salix. “Sales have been going very well here,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “We’re in the final stage of sales now, with a good

variety of homes left.” The remaining plans are mostly two-bedroom and den plans, ranging from 850 to 1,000 square feet. The five-storey Georgian-inspired building features a red brick exterior, lush landscaping and classic iron work, and every home includes a patio or balcony. Oversized windows let natural light pour in while the nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the top and bottom floors) add an incredible sense of space to your new home. Most units feature beautiful views, so you may have

some trouble tearing yourself away from spending all your free time outside taking in the scenery, including Mount Baker. “The location has been working really well for us,” Carlsen says. “You’re in a small, quiet building that really stands above the crowd.” Homes start at $219,900. For more information, visit www. salixliving.com, call 604-530-0054 or visit the presentation centre at 6477 196th Street, Surrey, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Polygon’s Canyon Springs is built in a West Coast style, and features spacious floorplans with gorgeous features such as rich laminate flooring, stainless-steel appliances and engineered stone countertops.

Natural beauty abounds at Canyon Springs By Kerry Vital

The Lower Mainland is famous for its outdoor lifestyle and variety of recreational activities. Most residents think of the North Shore when they want to get outside. Now, Polygon is bringing outdoor living and gorgeous homes together with Canyon Springs, its new collection of apartment residences in North Vancouver. “There are no other comparable new communities in Lynn Valley,” says sales manager Laura Cavanagh. “It’s been popular with local buyers especially since we are currently offering buyers a special financing

package.” Available until Oct. 14 only, Polygon is offering five-year, 2.95 per cent financing as part of their pre-construction sales program. “This is a great opportunity to secure a home before we close our doors on Oct. 14,” says Cavanagh. The curb appeal is readily apparent at Canyon Springs, with its contemporary West Coast architecture that fits perfectly with the surrounding natural beauty of the neighbourhood. The one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment residences are spacious and inviting, ranging from about 630 to 1,100 square feet. “These are really efficient floorplans,” Cavanagh says. “There’s no wasted space at all.” Elegant laminate flooring throughout (with plush carpeting in the bedrooms) sets a modern tone for your new space, complemented by the nine-foot ceilings in the living and dining rooms. Buyers can choose between two colour schemes, Dark and

White. The kitchens are particularly beautiful, with stainless-steel appliances and premium rift-cut, flat-panel cabinetry in oak or glossy white. The cabinets are complemented by engineered stone countertops, a handset tile backsplash and contemporary halogen track and under-cabinet lighting. The bathrooms are relaxing and luxurious, with imported porcelain tile flooring, flatpanel laminate cabinetry and a modern tub with a ceramic tile tub and shower surround. Your morning routine will be easy with the modern vanity mirror and lighting. The ensuite also includes engineered stone countertops and Grohe polished chrome tub and shower faucets that lend a touch of elegance to the space. The outdoors is all around you at Canyon Springs, and residents will easily be able to take advantage of this on their large deck or patio. Most ground-level homes will even have a private yard. Homeowners at Canyon Springs will have

access to a fully equipped fitness studio overlooking an outdoor terrace, an on-site resident manager, a dog wash station and bike cleaning area and a spacious lounge with a fireplace. The landmark corner will also showcase a dramatic water feature and cast bronze art piece designed by local artist Marie Khouri. Venturing off the property, you’ll find shopping, dining and schools all nearby, as well as the North Shore mountains and easy transit or car access to downtown Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland. The close-knit community of Lynn Valley is like very few others in Metro Vancouver, where everyone from shoppers to yogis and freeriders to dog walkers enjoys an ideal balance between wild spaces and urban convenience. Homes start at $359,900. For more information on the homes or the special financing package, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-973-0298 or drop by the presentation centre at 2517 Mountain Highway, open daily except Fridays between noon and 6 p.m.

Colour pockets are the strategy

K, we’ve had heavy rain pounding down the last of our summer garden colour, so now what? We all need a little colour boost when the days get cooler, darker and much wetter. Fall is a time to celebrate colour but it’s a season quite different from spring and summer. Fall colour needs to be used strategically and requires a little forethought. Colour pockets in key locations are the answer. You also need to use the combined synergy

tolerant, frost hardy overachievers.Vibrant colours are essential because blues and greens are lost on dark days. I love to use combinations that include evergreen shrubs, hardy colourful grasses and kales, perennials that are attractive even when not in flower and bright yellow orange and white violas and pansies.These combos can be used to create bright and cheery ground beds or porch pots. One of my favourite groupings is surrounding ‘Silver King’ eyuonymus with the short tufty yellow and green stripped grass called Acorus ‘Ogon’. Add in a few bicolour blue and yellow pansies, like ‘Morpheus’ and you’ve got a winner.

Cats look to get back on track Port Moody Panthers have struggled early this PJHL season By Gary McKenna THe Tri-CiTy NeWs

BOAZ JOSEPH/BLACK PRESS

Coquitlam’s Rika Hatachi and her husband Tatsuya pose for a photo before racing — and winning their respective 42K categories — at the Surrey International World Music Marathon on Sept. 29.

Coq. couple win Surrey marathon Husband and wife win World Music Marathon A husband and wife from Coquitlam won this week’s Surrey International World Music Marathon. Tatsuya Hatachi of Coquitlam won the marathon in a time

of 2:47:18, 12 minutes ahead of runner-up David Papineau of Vancouver. Rika Hatachi, wife of the race winner, set a new course record for women and placed third overall with a time of 2:59:41. Just over 1,500 runners braved the rain Sunday to run in the

second-annual marathonn. There were 213 participants in the marathon, with 1,007 taking part in the half-marathon. David Jackson of Abbotsford was first to cross the line in the half-marathon in 1:14.14. Surrey’s Drew Nicholson placed second in 1:14.55. Gillian Gook of

Vancouver topped the field of 255 participants in the 5km run with a time of 18:14. “We’re thrilled with the results of this year’s event — everything from the incredible athleticism of our elite runners, to the expanded entertainment along our brand new route, to the outstanding sup-

port we received from our volunteers,” said Surrey Marathon chair Elizabeth Model. “This year’s race has truly reflected the amazing energy and enthusiasm of our city, and we’re looking forward to growing the Surrey Marathon in years to come.” sports@tricitynews.com

Th e Po r t M o o dy Panthers will look to put a much-needed notch in the win column when the Ridge Meadows Flames come to town on Saturday night. Both teams have struggled early in the Pacific Junior Hockey League season, however, the Flames have a slight edge in the standings after earning points in two overtime losses. The Cats will need to come up with a better effort than they showed against the Grandview Steeler on Saturday at the Port Moody Arena if they hope to start their climb out of the Harold Brittain division basement. Grandview came out strong, scoring a power play goal early in the first and following up with singles from Chri Seto and Timothy Chow. Port Moody got on the board midway through the second period, when forward Taylor Leger buried a feed from Brendin Logan to make it 3-1. But Leger’s goal did little to spur his team’s offence. G r a n d v i e w ’ s Vi k Sanghera responded when he put the puck past Cats’ goalie Alex Orth, who stopped 41 of the 45 shots he faced. A late goal from Port M o o d y ’ s Wo l f g a n g Schoenefuhs, assisted by Brendin Logan, who was named a star of the game, was not enough to close the scoring gap. When the final buzzer sounded

HARRY HUNT PHOTO

Port Moody Panthers goalie Brenden Sharp minds the net during a 4-3 loss to the Aldergrove Kodiaks last week. at the end of the third period, the Panthers were down 4-2. The loss was the fifth in a row for Port Moody, who has not had a victory since a 5-4 overtime winner during the team’s season home-opener. The Cats struggled again last Thursday when they took on the Richmond Sockeyes on the road. Despite opening the scoring, the Panthers allowed five unanswered goals, giving the home team a 5-1 lead before the final frame. Logan again was a factor for the visitors, notching an unassisted goal early in the third. But two more markers from Richmond’s Liam Lawson and Daniel Oakley put the game out of reach for Port Moody. A late period goal by the Panther’s Evan Locke made the final score 7-2 for the Sockeyes. The club was expected to take on the Mission City Outlaws on Thursday night after The Tri-City News’ deadline. This Saturday’s game against the Ridge Meadows Flames takes place at the Port Moody Arena at 7:45 p.m. For more information go to www.portmoodypanthers.com.

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SOCCER PLAYERS of the WEEK MALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:

FEMALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:

LEVI MCMILLAN

SARAH NOVAK

CMFSC Euro’s player of the week is defender Levi McMillan. Levi has been an integral part of the success Euro has had over the past 2 seasons. He has been improving himself each and every training session and game and he has reaped the benefits of it. After attending a University of Washington Prospects Camp in the summer, Levi has come back even more focused and determined to propel himself and his team to success. He has become a respected leader of the group by his communication skills as well as his example of regular hard work and desire to improve. LEVI MCMILLAN has been named Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week!

This past weekend, the Under 14 Coquitlam Metro-Ford Storm looked for their first win in a very early morning Sunday Game. The opposing team, VUFC Chihuahuas, opened the scoring in the first half. Sarah Novak, one of the Storm’s forwards, had a very strong game for the Storm as an offensive threat. In the second half, Sarah found herself on a breakaway that was narrowly stopped by the VUFC defense. In dramatic fashion, Sarah scored the tying goal in the last 10 minutes of the game, clinching a point for the Storm. For her great performance this past weekend SARAH NOVAK has been named Coquitlam Metro-Ford Female Player of the Week!

Renegades snare Wolves

COLLEEN FLANAGAN/BLACK PRESS

Reegan Gill, left, of Ridge Meadows has the ball knocked off her stick by Coquitlam Adanacs forward Aliya Fantillo during a U12 field lacrosse game at the Thomas Haney sports field in Maple Ridge on Saturday.

The CMFSC Renegades continued their winning ways Sunday. The Renegades edged the visiting West Coast Wolves 2-1 in U12 girls soccer action to move their record to 4-0. J e s s i c a To w n e r opened the scoring for Coquitlam when she converted a pass from Sierra Santorelli. Christa Tascona netted the winner for the Renegades in the second half. A solid defensive effort from Keely Lind-Peterson, Milena Wilson, Laura Marshall and Claudia Carbone helped keep the Wolves to one goal. Th e Po r t M o o dy Redcaps overcame a slow start to get past the CCB Vipers in U16 division one soccer Saturday. Tra i l i n g 1 - 0 , t h e Redcaps Declan White unleashed a long shot five minutes into the second half that fooled the Vipers’ keeper and brought Port Moody even. The Redcaps continued to turn up the pressure, with Kyle Winslow using a precision header on a corner kick to stake the Caps to a 2-1 lead. Nick On rounded out the scoring from close range.

Tony Blazevic picked up Man of the Match honours. Brad Gregory did a great job filling in on defence for the Redcaps who were down two starting central defenders. Th e Po r t M o o dy Quicksilver continue to struggle with injuries in girls U17 division two. Missing as many as seven starters through the first four weeks, the Quicksilver fell 4-1 to the Jaguars in Langley Saturday. Port Moody dominated the second half of the game that was much closer than the score would indicate. Vanessa Velo scored her firstever Quicksilver goal on a penalty kick set up by the hard work on the left flank by Vanessa Giles and Lori Jiang. Striker Kiera Thompson made many forays into the Langley box but came away empty handed. Julia Palmer returned to the Quicksilver lineup after almost a one-year absence and picked up Man of the Match honours. Sydney LeGoff also had a strong performance in goal filling in for the injured Ellie Langr.
