R’view rethink By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Carole Pierce, Pearl Phillips and Laura Talbot are part of a new group called the Story Telling Elders who work with students in School District 43, sharing their stories and knowledge. For more on the group, which meets Fridays at Wilson Centre in Port Coquitlam, see article on page 15.

The future of a major part of Coquitlam’s past is up for discussion starting today (Wednesday). On Monday at the council-in-committee meeting, BC Housing outlined its plans to meet with health authorities, stakeholders and the public to hear views on the next steps for Riverview Hospital, a 244-acre site described by M ayo r R i c h a rd Stewart as “extremely precious to Coquitlam.” Its first presentation was to be this afternoon before the city’s Riverview Lands Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from TriCities’ Mental Health and Addictions, the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society and the Coquitlam River Watershed Society as well as former Riverview staff.

IN QUOTES

“People in Coquitlam have been waiting years now.” Coun. Terry O’Neill The launch of BC Housing’s “visioning process” comes two weeks after Premier Christy Clark told civic politicians at the Union of BC Municipalities’ convention that the government won’t reopen the shuttered, 101-year-old institution — not even in a modern form. The visioning study also comes a year after the province released its Heritage Conservation Plan for the lands, a process Coun. Craig Hodge, chair of Coquitlam’s Riverview committee, described as“rushed.” see ‘GREAT’, page 13

More beds for seniors, people with mental illness By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Seniors with complex care needs and people with mental health and substance abuse issues will be treated in two brand new local facilities — one on each end

of the Tri-Cities — according to a Fraser Health announcement Friday. In Coquitlam, Société du Foyer Maillard has received funding from Fraser Health to redevelop its current facility at 1010 Alderson Ave. in Coquitlam. The redevel-

opment project will add 80 new complex care beds for high-needs seniors in addition to the 45 beds currently provided in the 44-year-old facility for a total of 125 beds at that end of the Tri-Cities. And in Port Coquitlam, Baltic Properties will

build a new complex at 770 Dominion Ave. that will provide 136 complex care beds for seniors and a 24-bed facility for people with mental health and substance abuse issues. The two facilities will be separate and stand-alone within the

larger complex. Keith McBain, executive director for Residential Care and Assisted Living at Fraser Health, said the Tri-Cities was targeted for new facilities, along with south Surrey and White Rock, because of the growth in

the seniors’ population. “When we looked over the three communities, they told us they were in the greatest need of residential care,” McBain said Friday. According to Fraser Health statistics, the population of the region is

expected to grow by 20% by 2020 and most of the increase will be seniors age 75 years and older. In all, four projects were announced for a total of 427 beds for a $34-million investment. see 2015 OPENING, page 9

From grieving mom to global citizen Carol Todd continues to work as a catalyst for change regarding bullying and online safety By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A year after her daughter died, Carol Todd is still dealing with the issues that Amanda Todd’s death raised and hoping to be a powerful agent of change. In the months since Amanda took her own life, Todd has been invited to events across Canada to be a speaker and act as an advocate for anti-bullying measures and a safer online environment for kids. She was a guest at Toronto’s We Day, met Prime Minister Stephen Harper along with the parents of Rehtaeh Parsons, the Nova Scotia teen who committed suicide in April after suffering bullying and harassment, and took part in a Beyond Borders symposium with them to talk about child sexual exploitation in the digital age. She has started a foundation to promote mental wellness for children and youth, blogs and runs a website in support of the Amanda Todd Legacy, and tracks international headlines and stories on issues raised by Amanda’s death, including cyberbullying, youth mental

health and sexual exploitation. “I’m still doing what I’m doing as a mom,” Todd says, noting there are days when she gets a little tired and frustrated by the slow pace of change. Her daughter’s cyberstalker has never been found, children are still vulnerable online and Todd herself has been victimized by haters and stalkers online. A thick skin was something she developed early as she started telling her daughter’s story through the media just a few weeks after her daughter’s suicide on Oct. 10. She laid low for about five weeks — “That gave me perspective” — and dealt with her grief by speaking out on issues she thought were important to Amanda because they were raised in a poignant video she posted before her death. “What I’m doing is for me. This is how I’m able to cope and handle it,” says Todd. She’s back part-time at her job as an assistive technology educator with School District 43, helping students with special needs use technology so they learn better. She also continues to see a counsellor regularly and is grateful for the support of family and friends. Many hours of her day are spent on projects she hopes will further Amanda’s legacy. For example, she’s actively promoting the Light up Purple for

Tribute play created A new play dealing with social media and its consequences for youth will be holding a special performance as a tribute to Amanda Todd tomorrow (Thursday). The Social Media Connection, written and directed by Mandy Tulloch of ABC Let’s Act and featuring a cast of Tri-Cities students, will take place at Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam. For tickets, call 604-927-6555.

Far left: Carol Todd, one year after her daughter Amanda’s suicide, has returned to work but continues to advocate for mental health services for youth, and safer social media use for children and teens. Left: Port Coquitlam’s Amanda Todd took her life in 2012.

Mental Health, in support of World Mental Health Day tomorrow Oct. 10 (see related story below) because Amanda suffered from depression and hurt herself as a way to deal with bad feelings or thoughts. Todd says supporting youth with mental

health issues is one of her biggest causes. In fact, she believes her daughter’s death, and the tragic video — which has been viewed some 16 million times online — have been agents of change in ways that are at once gratifying and unex-

pected. Although laws to protect children are slow to come, and may even be impossible to legislate or enforce, Todd is encouraged by the way people have opened up about issues such as child mental health, cyber-bullying and online sexual exploitation.

She has also been heartened by efforts made by governments to combat bullying through education and awareness, such as B.C.’S ERASE Bullying website, although she is concerned that the reporting tool isn’t staffed in the summer. She’s also pleased to see more education resources for children and parents, including School District 43’s new digital responsibility code of conduct. The online world isn’t perfect, it may even be more dangerous than it was a year ago by its very addictiveness, especially among teens.

But she is hopeful that with more and more eyes on the cyberstalkers, more savvy parents who are willing to follow their kids on social media, and their kids’ friends, and with more people talking about the issues, there will be fewer teens who consider killing themselves as a way to deal with bad things that happen online. “It’s all of that, being a global citizen, not just one family taking care of their own kids, but everyone looking out for each other and those atrisk kids,” she says. “In order to keep kids safe, you have to do it.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Purple plan patterned globally By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

diane strandberg/the tri-city news

The fountain at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam will be lit purple Thursday in recognition of World Mental Health Day.

Coquitlam will join dozens of cities, businesses and community organizations around the world that will be lighting up purple for World Mental Health Day tomorrow (Thursday). In Coquitlam, the fountain at Lafarge Lake will be illuminated by purple lights at the request of the Amanda Todd Legacy Society and the World Mental Health

Organization. Amanda Todd, a Port Coquitlam teen, committed suicide on Oct. 10, 2012 after suffering from depression and cyberbullying and harassment. Her mother, Carol Todd, contacted cities and organizations around the world to encourage them to light structures in support of World Mental Health Day, and to raise awareness of families who have lost loved ones through struggles with

mental health. “This is something we need to do to support one another and raise awareness about mental health issues,”Todd said. Niagara Falls will be turning purple that day, as will a bridge in Boston, the Los Angeles Airport, the CN Tower, Mac the Moose in Moose Jaw and the Langevin Bridge in Calgary as well as Science World and BC Place. Numerous organizations are also lending their support, including

the World Federation for Mental Health, Bully Free Zone, Be Bold Campaign, Global Girl Power, the York Region District School Board, PoCoMo Youth Society and the city of Port Coquitlam. In addition to lighting up buildings, bridges and other structures, Todd is asking people to wear purple that day. • More information is available at www.amandatoddlegacy.org. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Evergreen work aplenty A raft of Evergreen Line work will disrupt traffic at some key points in Coquitlam and Port Moody over the next few weeks, including:

Place as part of elevated guideway construction. South and northbound traffic on North Road will be reduced to single lane in each direction from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., and while the closures are in effect, the left turn onto Gatineau from North northbound will be closed and drivers will be detoured to Austin Avenue.

COQUITLAM

Near Pinetree Way and the Coquitlam Centre parking lot starting this week, nighttime utility relocation will be taking place in preparation for construction of the elevated guideway. Work will run from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. for about two weeks, and EGRT Construction, the comp a ny awa rd e d t h e Evergreen Line contract, said efforts will be made to minimize noise and disruptions. Drivers are also advised that there will be lane closures on Pinetree Way, Lougheed Highway and Lincoln Avenue at the mall entrance.

NORTH ROAD

Temporary daytime lane closures on North and Clarke roads between Foster and Smith avenues began this week and will continue for about two months to facilitate relocation of utilities and construction of elevated guideways. Construction crews will be working Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Lane closures will vary from day-to-day and driv-

Work is well underway on North and Clarke roads as part of Evergreen Line construction. ers are cautioned to watch for construction signs and traffic control personnel. When North Road lane closures happen, there will be turning restrictions to and from Cottonwood Avenue as follows: • drivers travelling north on North Road will not be allowed to turn right on Cottonwood; • drivers travelling west on Cottonwood will not be permitted to turn right on North Road; • local residents may need to use Foster Avenue and Whiting Way to access Cottonwood while this work is underway; • there will also be temporary closures of Cottonwood Avenue eastbound between North Road and Whiting Way as part of utility relocation work; • there will be tem-

porary parking restrictions on North Road and Cottonwood; signs will show dates and times for restrictions; • access to businesses will be maintained; • to ensure the safety of transit users, bus stops in the area will be shifted slightly away from active construction; • and nearby business owners and residents can expect to see daytime construction activities with some related noise, including excavation, material hauling and the use of heavy machinery. Once the work is complete, permanent changes to Cottonwood Avenue will be implemented in early November. As well, nighttime lane closures on North Road started this week b e t we e n L o u g h e e d Highway and Gatineau

PORT MOODY

Work will start Oct. 15 on foundations for the elevated guideway to the west of Ioco Road in Port Moody. Crews will be operating next to the railway lines at the foot of Moray Street and work east toward the Barnet Highway bridge. Between October and March, intermittent pile driving and placement of reinforced steel and concrete will happen from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. EGRT says there will be noise related to the use of heavy machinery, pile driving and drilling. No lane closures are required and the company anticipates no traffic disruptions. Construction of the elevated guideway will generally consist of building foundations and columns, then an overhead guideway, followed by track work and systems installation.

City gets biz honour as it also receives biz criticism By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam’s mayor said the city has “a lot of work to do” to make the municipality more business-friendly. Mayor Richard Stewart made the comment after B.C.’s minister of tourism and small business presented council with an Open for Business award. Naomi Yamamoto was at Monday’s city council meeting to congratulate Coquitlam — one of seven municipalities around the province to win the accolade — and to present it with a cheque for $10,000. Coquitlam plans to use the grant to fund a small business-friendly program. “We have a lot of work to do,” Mayor Stewart said. “We are still making progress. We are going to keep making progress.” Yamamoto’s appearance came just a week after city council heard complaints from a business owner who criticized city planners for taking too long to get a rezoning bid before council. (Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and

TRUCK TALK

Also on Monday, two local business owners claimed the city is being unfair in its bylaw ticketing practices. Brothers Jim and Barry Allard of Allard Contractors/Coquitlam Concrete said the company has received about 18 fines this year because its trucks travelled on roads that are not designated as truck routes (they were forced to use alternate roads because of construction) as well as for having an unattached trailer and for having a front tire 17”away from a curb. Jim Allard also complained about the lack of truck routes in the city and about the hike in traffic and safety penalties. The measures“have impacted our business significantly,”he told council-in-committee. City engineers are expected to meet with the Allards next Tuesday. Mayor Stewart contended the city needs to be more flexible as the municipality grows. “There’s going to be an awful lot of construction in our community,”he said. development, told The TriCity News yesterday the application was submitted in July.) At Monday’s council meeting, Peter Meegan of the Mary Ann Meegan Insurance Agency — whose building was gutted by fire last September — was in the front row to hear the minister and the mayor’s words. Later, city council unanimously approved fourth and final reading — plus a develop-

ment permit — to allow Meegan to rebuild; council was due to consider both applications at its Oct. 21 meeting. Meegan’s aren’t the only recent business complaints to city hall. At last Thursday’s budget meeting, a number of small business owners spoke about their struggles in Coquitlam, claiming property taxes are too high for businesses. They pressed council to reduce the business

property tax rate, as did Mike Klassen, director of provincial affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), which has 170 members in Coquitlam. Klassen, who was on the B.C. Small Business Roundtable that chose Coquitlam for the Open for Business award, told The Tri-City News yesterday he wanted to deliver a message to city council that “there’s a premium to doing business in the city of Coquitlam.” But at Monday’s council-in-committee meeting, some responded to the CFIB’s presentation, charging that the group “hijacked” the town hall gathering. Mayor Stewart and Coun. Mae Reid said they found the CFIB uninformed and some participants left because they felt “intimidated” to ask their questions. Council is now considering changing the rules for town hall meetings so Coquitlam residents can speak before business groups. “I’m kind of stunned,” Klassen told The Tri-City News yesterday, adding council “should be more sensitive” to business owners’ concerns. jwarren@tricitynews.com

‘I was going to initiate CPR... It was too late’ By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

A witness testifying in the hit-and-run trial of Cory Sater described a chaotic scene in the moments after the collision that killed two people and left a third seriously injured. Paulette Baker testified that she was driving to her Abbotsford home after a church function in Coquitlam when she noticed several vehicles parked on either side of Lougheed Highway near Pitt River Road. When she saw two bodies lying on the ground, the 45-year-old nurse quickly got out of her van to see if she could help the victims. The first person she saw was Charlene Reaveley, who was covered in a blanket a short distance from Lorraine Cruz. “There was no pulse,” Baker told the court. “Then I pulled the blanket past her chest. I was going to initiate CPR... Another gentleman said it was too late.” The witness, who was emotional at times during her testimony, said she then concentrated her efforts on consoling another man at the scene. “There was another gentleman who was in shock,” she said. “I pulled him aside and tried to help calm him down… I was trying to make sense of everything.” At that point, she noticed a third victim, Paulo

GARY MCKENNA/thE tRi-CitY NEwS

Crown counsel Chris McPherson speaks to reporters outside court in New Westminster about the trial of Cory Sater, who’s facing 10 charges in relation to the deaths of Charlene Reaveley and Lorraine Cruz. Calimbahin, who was alive and conscious. “He was yelling, ‘Please help my girlfriend,’” she said. Baker told the court it took emergency crews between five and seven minutes to arrive after she pulled over to assist. Charlene Reaveley and her husband Dan Reaveley and friends Giacomo deBenedictis and Kimberly Moore (now deBenedictis), were driving home from a night out on Feb. 19, 2011 when they witnessed an SUV crash into the median at Lougheed Highway near

Pitt River Road. The court earlier heard that Charlene was comforting Cruz, the victim of the initial crash, when both were struck and killed. Calimbahin, Cruz’s boyfriend, was seriously injured and has had his foot amputated as a result of the collision. Sater is facing 10 charges related to the incident and is alleged to have been drinking the night of the crash. Crown counsel Chris McPherson told reporters earlier in the trial that the prosecution will be presenting evidence that the accused had consumed

six double rye and cokes and two Jägerbombs — a mix of Jägermeister and Red Bull — prior to the incident. Two hours after the crash, a white 1995 Jeep Cherokee was found abandoned in the Cape Horn area of Coquitlam. Sater was arrested a day after the collision. On Monday, the court also heard from two other witnesses who were driving through the area but left before the hit-and-run took place. Grace Strukoff and her son Dan both witnessed the first SUV collide with the median. Dan, who was 16 at the time, got out of his mother’s Chevrolet Uplander to see if anyone needed help. When it was clear that Calimbahin and Cruz were being assisted, the court heard, he got back into the car and told his mom that everything was OK and they could continue on their way home. Neither of the Strukoffs heard the fatal collision or noticed any vehicles fleeing past them as they headed south on Lougheed Highway. The trial continues. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

2015 opening dates continued from front page The redevelopment of Foyer Maillard will be good news for Maillardville, says Jean Riou, chair of Société du Foyer Maillard. “This is going to be a top-notch building for care and we are going to triple the number of our work hours we are going to offer,” Riou said, noting that new nurses and care aids will be needed. Plans are to demolish the site after spending six months working to relocate current residents, including about 19 people living in room-and-board suites. Family members have already been contacted to make sure the transition is smooth, Riou said. Transition teams will work with residents to find new accommodation and jobs for Hospital Employees Union and the BC Nurses Union employees.

achievable,”McKay said, When it’s open, the facility will employ up to 220 people with the equivalent of 160 to 170 full-time jobs, and play a large part in caring for elderly people, including those with dementia, as well as adults suffering from mental health and substance abuse issues (they’ll have to be sober before they are admitted). “The city of Port Coquitlam is excited about the project. It is a pretty big development for the city and it generates a lot of economic benefits and also ongoing stable employment. These things pay a lot of people and the wages are good,” McKay said. Baltic Properties has experience operating residential care facilities, including one in Surrey that includes a unit for people dealing with a traumatic brain injury.

Meanwhile, day-to-day operations will cease at Foyer Maillard by the end of March 2014 to allow for the development of the new facility, which is expected to open in fall 2015 and could cost up to $38 million to build. The new building will take up more of the site but will only be three and a half storeys high, Riou said. More details will be made available soon at www.foyermaillard.com. In PoCo, the new residential development will have 136 beds for the frail elderly and 24 beds for people suffering from severe mental illness and substance abuse issues, said Will McKay, managing partner of Baltic Properties. As well, he said a rezoning will be required for the $33 million project, which could open in October, 2015 if all goes as planned. “That’s tight but it’s

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

s the world a safer place for kids since Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd killed herself on Oct. 10, 2012 after posting that heart-wrenching video seen around the world? No, but we have learned a few things since. We’ve learned, for example, that the internet can be a rough, cruel world for kids unless they are taught how to protect themselves and their privacy — and we know that the internet is a powerful tool for ruining someone’s reputation. We’ve seen that vulnerable girls and boys are easily exploited online by voyeurs who lure them with false names and post their pictures and videos, sometimes with devastating consequences. We learned, as well, that rape culture is so deeply ingrained in our society that Canadian university students didn’t see anything wrong with frosh week chants about sex with underage girls until authorities found out and put a stop to it. We’ve learned that it’s easy to troll the internet for photos and then post them, without consent, as a Facebook dating chat room did with a picture of Rehtaeh Parsons (the Nova Scotia teen who committed suicide after photos of an alleged gang-rape were posted). Simply put, laws are inadequate for dealing with meanness and stupidity on the web. Even Port Coquitlam couldn’t find a way to legislate against bullying. But there has been some action, too. B.C.’s ERASE Bullying website, available during the school year, provides resources for families with bullying concerns, and administrators and school counsellors are being trained to identify and support at-risk youth. The Kids Help Phone got more publicity about its services for kids and School District 43 has a new digital responsibility policy for teachers, students and parents working on the web. Even workplace bullying has received a higher profile in the year since Todd’s death, with a new Workplace BC website addressing the issue, and the BC Coroner’s Service studied youth suicide this fall and recommended more collaboration and resources. Will all this talk prevent another Amanda Todd situation from occurring? Maybe not, but we can no longer have ignorance as an excuse.

Just say no to Larsen and ‘hippy gesture politics’ BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA won’t be signing the “Sensible B.C.”petition to demand a province-wide referendum on marijuana enforcement.You shouldn’t, either, and here are a few reasons why. Let me start by saying I’ve been calling for legalization and regulation of pot for 20 years, to conserve police resources and reduce violent crime. Our war on drugs is a failure even for heroin and cocaine, and marijuana is obviously much easier to produce. But the current effort led by Dana Larsen, B.C.’s clown prince of pot, is not only misguided, it’s dangerous. The petition does not propose legalization. It seeks to impose a provincial law that would stop B.C. police from using any resources for simple possession charges. This would create a loophole in the federal drug law. So what would that do? It would protect oth-

erwise innocent customers of the current illegal marijuana trade while leaving the criminal distribution business in place. For a closer look at that, I recommend reports from the Surrey Six murder trial now underway, or the upcoming case against three accused assassins of Red Scorpion gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna. Larsen’s loony law would tie police hands when they are trying to hold someone on a lesser charge while they search for evidence of something nastier. This is a source of many simple possession charges today. Police chiefs have a different idea, asking for the option of treating simple possession as a ticket offence to keep the court time to a minimum. Both of these notions have the same obvious flaws. They don’t deal with sales to minors and they divert no revenue to government, leaving most of that in the hands of criminal dealers who buy cocaine, guns and fancy cars. Colorado and Washington have gone the legalization route, so far without interference from their federal government. These states

The Editor, Re. “Is the TransLink referendum pure democracy or pure politics?” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Oct. 4). Referendums on taxes often have disastrous effects — look at the aftermath in the State of California with Proposition 13 — and voter turnout is low enough in elections that a referendum would likely only reflect the views of whichever interest group can get its vote out. If we must use costly referendums to shield the government from wearing unpopular decisions, how about adding a question on the ballot about opening some beds at Riverview Hospital at the same time? Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside is a crisis that is being ignored and there’s people who desperately need shelter and care. Also, we should have referendum on tankers carrying bitumen through the port of Vancouver and having a Coast Guard base in the port. A referendum on requiring the B.C. legislature to sit regularly so our government can be held accountable would be nice. Another question: Should school boards have to divert money to the Pacific Carbon Trust to fund private industry? They could all fit on the same page. B. Tennant, Coquitlam

Hundreds of motorcyclists gathered Sunday morning at Coquitlam Centre for the 35th annual Vancouver Toy Run, proceeds from which will support the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau. Lindsay Zepeski sent in these photos from the event: Above, Zepeski and dad Ken Francis on his bike. Above right, Francis and Zepeski with Marty Broughton (Santa), Jenny Broughton (Mrs. Claus) and Lisa Ogilvie.

Sisters in Spirit vigil Douglas College students and faculty held a vigil at the Coquitlam campus last Thursday to demand action in support of missing Aboriginal girls and women across Canada. The event was part of a national gathering known as the Sisters in Spirit to raise awareness about the issue and call for a national inquiry to investigate over 500 reported cases across Canada. “Violence against Aboriginal women is a national tragedy,” said Madison Paradis-Woodman, college relations co-ordinator of the Douglas Students’ Union, Local 18 of the Canadian Federation of Students. “Students and community members are calling for the national inquiry not only so families of loved ones can find justice and peace, but to prevent and address systemic racism and violence against Aboriginal women and girls in our country.”

I have lived in Port Coquitlam for 28 years where I raised three sons who have also made Port Coquitlam their home. I believe that it takes a community to raise a child, and I became actively involved in minor sports when my boys were young. I am currently still involved in minor hockey and enjoy being a part of a community where all children have a chance to play.

‘Great trepidation’ in Coq. continued from front page

At Monday’s meeting, Shayne Ramsay, CEO of BC Housing, said while Shared Services BC operates Riverview, BC Housing has been tasked to look at its future. Ramsay stressed the agency wants a “balanced scenario” with a “collaborative approach” to the site’s social, economical and environmental aspects. There is no time frame for when the public consultation will wrap up, Ramsay said. And while he didn’t talk about selling off Riverview lands, he said any redevelopment would have to “break even” given the extent of the investment. That means costs associated with its future use — including heritage building restoration and infrastructure upgrades — must come from revenue generated from the property. He said Riverview isn’t part of the province’s surplus of disposal lands. As well, he said, its current footprint will stay intact — a comment welcomed by council members, including Coun. Terry O’Neill, who praised BC Housing for starting a “well-informed and meaningful consul-

Craig Hodge, who took this photograph. tation.” “People in Coquitlam have been waiting years now,”O’Neill said. Mayor Stewart said Riverview Hospital should stay as a mental health facility while Hodge said the province needs to turn its attention to the care of the buildings. “They need to be maintained for the future,” Hodge said, adding economic development is something his committee wants “as long as it’s done properly.” Coun. Brent Asmundson said Coquitlam has

Burned, and now cops want to talk Tw o C o q u i t l a m men Vancouver Police Department has called persons of interest remain in Eagle Ridge Hospital suffering from burns to their upper body, arms, hands, head and face following a fiery accident Monday. VPD is investigating an incident in the afternoon on Oct. 7 in which a white panel van reported to be on fire rearended a sports utility vehicle as it travelled south on Oak Street. The van climbed a curb and smashed into a cement retaining wall and two men in the van fled. As firefighters worked to extinguish the flames, several explosions occurred, which, according to VPD, “appear to be the result of the van illegally containing large containers and quantities of gasoline.” Two men, ages 19 and 25, walked into Eagle Ridge Hospital yesterday and are in serious condition. Police are still investigating and are trying to determine who owned the van. No charges have yet been laid.

been back and forth with the government about Riverview’s future. Decades ago, the province sold off a chunk of land for townhouses and failed to reinvest, he said. Later, under the NDP, a visioning study started but it was dropped. And a few years ago, BC Liberal Housing Minister Rich Coleman suggested market housing but that was rejected. “The public of Coquitlam takes with great trepidation this v i s i o n i n g p ro c e s s ,” Asmundson said, adding, “Mental health is some-

thing very dear to our hearts.” Coun. Mae Reid cautioned Ramsay she has heard plenty of lipservice over the years from Victoria when she chaired the city’s Riverview advisory committee. And she called the province’s lack of action on Riverview “demolition by neglect.” Coun. Neal Nicholson, the vice-chair of the Riverview committee, said the visioning process won’t work unless everyone is involved. “It has to be a credible approach and that can begin with the preservation of the buildings,” Nicholson said, noting senior government politicians also need to commit to Riverview’s future. Minister Coleman was not available for an interview but, in a statement issued yesterday, he noted Riverview’s “great historic and strategic value” to Coquitlam, the First Nations and the province. “We are proposing that stakeholders establish a common approach to guide the broader public consultations that begin in 2014. We have been clear that this process will not be determined by the province alone. This commitment has not changed,”he said.

“Our intention is to proceed carefully with future land use planning, reflecting the importance of the property to those involved and including the view of stakeholders and the public,” Coleman said. “The objective is to achieve a master development plan that balances community aspirations, government requirements and economic sustainability.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

to Coquitlam Residents

for being

Water Wise

THE CITY THANKS RESIDENTS for their compliance to the lawn sprinkling restrictions this summer. During the summer, the demand for drinking water soars while the water supply in our reservoirs decline to an annual low. Despite a rain free July, Coquitlam residents managed to keep the peak water demand at a low level. Your efforts to conserve drinking water made it possible to maintain adequate water pressure and minimize costs for water infrastructure upgrades.

‘A grandparent or an elder in every school’ story group’s goal Elders aiming to share stories with Tri-City students

TELL A TALE

The Story Telling Elders group meets Fridays at 11 a.m. at Wilson Centre in Port Coquitlam, ending the meetings with lunch. For more information, call Carole Pierce at 604-376-6205 or Claudia Savage at 604-525-8163, or email thestorytellingelders@gmail. com.

By Diane Strandberg ThE Tri-CiTy NEws

utside Port Coquitlam’s Wilson Centre, it’s raining cats and dogs but there’s a sunnier climate in the Garden Room thanks to a group of women calling themselves The Story Telling Elders. Though not restricted to women, the elders group that works with School District 43 students is predominately female and their stories have the warmth of freshly baked cookies or cozy hand-knit mittens. There’s Carole Pierce, the unofficial spokesperson of the group, a retired native court worker who has twinkling blue eyes and a fluff of light brown curls. She talks about her days working with families, her knowledge of First Nations traditions and protocol, and her dreams about the future. “I want to see a grandparent or an elder in every school,”Pierce says, and her friends nod in agreement. There’s also Laura Talbot, a First Nations elder from the Tsimshian people and retired business owner who enjoys crochet (she calls herself a hooker); Pearl Phillips, from the Interior Salish people, who loves to carve, do beadwork and cook bannock; and Claudia Savage, who is mostly Irish, not First Nations at all, but jokingly says her last name entitles her to belong to the group.

Pierce said people don’t have to have First Nations heritage to join the group but should have experience or a skill to share and be interested in working with students. “I’m not too fussy about it as long as they have knowledge that they are willing to share,” she said. Among the projects the group is working on is a drum-making workshop with Carman MacKay, who is a local First Nations cultural worker, and the members recently made deerskin medicine bags for SD43 grads. Last year, the group worked with students in SD43’s Suwa’lkh Learning Centre and at Central elementary school. With more members, they could expand their reach. Savage said the younger children enjoy being read to and the other kids like hearing stories about the old days. “The kids were very interested in who we are and where we came from,”she said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Divorce issues covered Navigating the complexities and emotional turmoil of divorce is difficult enough but many adults don’t know their rights or about alternatives to the court system for sorting out parenting and other issues arising from a relationship break-up. To educate and inform families, the TriCities Joint Family Court and Youth Justice Committee is hosting a forum called “What’s love got to do with it” on Thursday, Oct. 17 at the David Lam campus of Douglas College. The event will feature three speakers and breakout discussions on topics dealing with B.C.’s new Family Law Act. As well, participants will learn about alternatives to using the court system. “This is an important issue as families struggle with the emotional toil of a breakup, the well-being and care for children, financial issues and so on,” stated the committee chair in a press release. “Almost 80% of people who attend family court are unrepresented and try to manage through the court system on their own. “We think this forum will provide valuable information on how people are best served when faced with this situation.” The forum runs from 7 to 9 p.m. in Room A1470 at the campus, located at 1250 Pinetree Way. Admission is free but registration is required. Register at loveandfamilylaw. eventbrite.ca.

Wise words on autism... and some good stories, too A GOOD READ

Christiane Hewer

utism is the fastest growing developmental disability today. In the last six years, it has been reported that its prevalence has increased by about 80% in Canada. Environmental factors and their interactions with genetic susceptibilities are considered likely contributors to increase in prevalence and are the subject of numerous research projects. The books I will introduce here are not so much concerned with autism research as with more practical aspects of living with this disease. Autism Tomorrow: The Complete Guide to Help Your Child Thrive in the Real World by Karen L. Simmons and Bill Davis and Autism Spectrum Disorders: What Every Parent Needs to Know published by the American Academy of Pediatrics are manuals on how to deal with the various aspects of having a child on the spectrum. They help understand definition and diagnosis of the disorder, and provide parents with information on current types of therapies as well as how to access community and educational resources. Other themes include transition into adulthood, independent

living, sexuality and gainful employment. Many novels deal with the experience of having one’s child diagnosed with autism. In Daniel isn’t Talking, a novel by Marti Leimbach, an American woman living in England seems to have it all: a rich husband, a vivacious daughter and an adorable son. But after a normal infancy, the boy starts behaving strangely — throwing tantrums, walking on his toes, still seeking his mother’s breast and refusing to talk. Eventually, the marriage falls apart but the mother becomes a passionate advocate for her disabled son. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the NightTime by Mark Haddon is the first-person account of a 15-year-old selfdescribed“mathematician

his autism and not who Jason really is. For younger kids, there are picture books. Waiting for Benjamin: A Story about Autism by Alexandra Jessup Altman and Ian’s Walk: A Story about Autism by Laurie Lears are stories from the point of view of siblings of children on the spectrum.They tend to have some extra challenges in their lives: disappointment and embarrassment with the sibling’s behaviour; additional responsibilities taking care of the autistic sibling; and, last but not least, the diversion of parental and other resources toward the sick brother or sister. As one author puts it:“There are opportunities for personal growth in having a sibling with a disability. The healthy sibling learns valuable lessons of responsibility, compassion and toleration of differences.” Maybe we all could do with a healthy dose of those.

A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Christiane Hewer works at Coquitlam Public Library.

AGM for foundation A look back at the past year and ahead to the next will be part of the Coquitlam Foundation’s annual general meeting tomorrow (Thursday). At the AGM, to be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Coquitlam Foundation Room of Coquitlam Public Library’s City Centre branch (1169 Pinetree Way), foundation members will also be discussing ways in which it can continue to advance its charitable work in the community. In addition to managing its own foundationdirected funds, the organization manages 21 donor-advised funds on behalf of various groups, families and individuals. The five new donoradvised funds created over the past year include the Michael Coss Brain Injury Fund, the Steps Together Fund, the Trevor Wingrove Bursary Fund, the Wesbild LIFT Fund and, most recently, the Danielle and Gary Couling Education Fund.

with some behavioural difficulties”and his family issues.The mystery novel won prizes as both adult and children’s book. Much has been written for children on this topic, most of whom know others with autism, yet often find it hard to relate to them. In How to Talk to an Autistic Kid, 14-yearold Daniel Stefanski describes what it feels like being autistic. With frankness and optimism, he provides personal stories, clear explanations and supportive advice about how to get along with kids on the spectrum. A novel for children, Anything but Typical by Nora Raleigh Baskin describes the life of 12-yearold autistic Jason Blake living in a“neurotypical” world. Most days, it’s just a matter of time before something goes wrong. But Jason finds a glimmer of understanding when he comes across a girl who posts stories to the same online site as he does. Jason can be himself when he writes and he thinks that Rebecca could be his first real friend. But as desperate as Jason is to meet her, he’s terrified that if they do meet, she will only see

SCARY STORY CONTEST: Oct. 20 deadline

Get spooky with annual contest 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. So indulge your storytelling skills, evoke unsettling details, disturb the judges. Make them believe your story is not just a story. Make their skin crawl!

As in years past, entries are welcome in two age categories: 11 to 14 years and 15 to 18 years. 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 e-mail — 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.

Michael Wright and arts leader Thelka Wright, will be in t h e crowd to see t h e thespian in one of the b i g - wright gest musical theatre shows in Canada: Les Miserables. Wright, a PoCo high grad, is playing the roles of The Factory Foreman as well as Claquesous and various ensemble parts. T h e Fa c t o r y Foreman role “is a real slimy character that everyone hates” and he fires Fantine when she resists his advances and learns she has a child. Claquesous, on the other hand, is quiet and he may be working for the police. Speaking from the 2,000-seat Princess of Wales Theatre during previews last week, Wright said he’s thrilled to be in the sold-out production by Cameron Mackintosh. “The show is going well and I’m enjoying myself very much.” Wright has played some juicy characters recently. In May, he was nominated for a Jessie Richardson Theatre Award for his Falstaff in the Merry Wives of Windsor, which ran at last summer’s Bard on the Beach. He has also appeared in Copper and The Murdoch Mysteries. jwarren@tricitynews.com

TV show channels 1958 By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NeWs

hink Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier and Jayne Mansfield. In 1958, they were among the most famous film and T.V. actors and the world watched as they set trends — onand off-camera. Next week, a Coquitlam arts centre will set the stage for that glamourous broadcasting era when it hosts its annual gala fundraiser. Place des Arts will recreate its Maillardville facility for a behind-thescenes television show as part of Impromptu: Live! On Air. Audience members — donned in their finest ‘50s garb — will walk the red carpet to witness the live screening of USA Music Melody. It will be the first time the made-up T.V. program will have been shown outside of its Hollywood studio. Organizer Michael Fera, Place des Arts’ program and events co-ordinator, said the fun-filled event will include performances by six cast members plus some young PdA students. And the crowd can mingle as much — or as little — as they wish with the actors. “There’s going to be a lot going on all night,” Fera said. “People are going to be transported to 1958 where they’re going to see a mix of Ed Sullivan and American Bandstand activity all around them.” Fera said PdA staff picked the year of 1958 as television was live back then (shows after 1960 were taped). As a result, actors — many of whom were plucked from the theatre stage — had to do a lot of improv if something went off-script. That added to the excitement of the show, Fera said. The Golden Age of T.V. is a new theme for Impromptu, which started in 2011 with participants dressed up in flapper and gangster threads for a speakeasy; last year, Place des Arts turned into a East Coast kitchen party scene. The inaugural gala collected $15,000 while last year’s fake wake for a fisherman brought in $10,000. This year, PdA has a

PdA executive director Joan McCauley said the 41-year-old centre wants to continue to be accessible to the public “because we know the importance of the arts in people’s lives,”she said. Proceeds from Impromptu 2012 funded a newYouth Arts Council this year, she said. As well, Place des Arts has teamed up with the city of Coquitlam — which pays for 35% of the facility’s annual operating costs — to be part of its Get Connected, Get Active program to help low-income families. In addition, Impromptu benefits free activities such as the monthly Family Day. Alvina Wong, PdA’s resource development and volunteer co-ordinator, said ticket sales aren’t the only revenue generator from Impromptu. As with the last two years, participants can bid on some top prizes through a live and silent

The Fugitives — aka Brendan McLeod and Adrian Glynn — will kick off their cross-Canada tour in Coquitlam on Friday.

seniors’ theatre classes at PMAC A new theatre group for seniors will kick into action next week in Port Moody. Expect Theatre — a company formed by actors Cathie Young and Gaye LePage — is offering classes at the Port Moody Arts Centre starting Oct. 18. The sessions will run for eight weeks on Fridays, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the facility (2425 St. John’s St.). No previous experience is required. LePage said the course will include storytelling and theatre appreciation for participants who want to

attend plays and discuss them later. Students will also learn about performing as well as sets, costumes, lighting and sound. Students won’t put on a show but “we will work toward a presentation for the last class,”she said. The cost is $80 for the eight weeks or $12 for a drop-in class. To register, call 604-931-2008 or email info@pomoarts.ca. Meanwhile, Expect Theatre will host a solo show collective at PMAC on Oct. 25 at 7:15 p.m. jwarren@tricitynews.com

In The Fugitives’ video for My, My that was filmed last month in Toronto, a man is in a bathtub splashing water on a spinning piece of fabric suspended above him. The solemn work is an emotional performance piece rather than a narrative, said Adrian Glynn — one half of the Vancouver-based folk music group that will perform in Coquitlam on Friday. The song represents pain and frustration after losing someone special, Glynn said, and it’s the first single to come from the band’s album, Everything Will Happen, due to be released on Oct. 22. “We had an EP out this summer called Bigger than Luck and its single was very upbeat,” Glynn said in an interview from Whistler last week. “We thought it would be a cool change of pace to have a deeper song out there for the next one.... We try not to be known as a one-note band.” Still, not all of the tracks on Everything Will Happen are dark. The second single, Wilderness Years, has a more uplifting tone, he said.

Their new album will be available at their show at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, which launches a 21-date tour across Canada for The Fugitives. Evergreen is a stage Glynn will return to next March when he appears in the Arts Club Theatre on Tour production of Chelsea Hotel: The Songs of Leonard Cohen. Glynn, who has a bachelor’s degree in theatre from UBC, said when Chelsea Hotel ran last year at the Firehall, it was the first show he had appeared in for eight years. “It’s pretty much impossible to do a music career and a theatre career full time,” he said, “so I kind of gave up theatre. I still do T.V. on the side but music is definitely the main thing now.” • The Fugitives will play Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) on Friday, Oct. 11 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30/$25/$15 through the box office at 604-927-6555 or online at evergreenculturalcentre.ca. Meanwhile, Brendan McLeod and Adrian Glynn will lead a songwriting workshop before the concert from 4 to 6 p.m. Registration is $52 for adults and $26 for students. Tickets to the show are $15 if purchased with the workshop. jwarren@tricitynews.com

‘Epic doesn’t even begin to describe the tour’ Walter takes on Tour of the Dragon Coquitlam cyclist Sandra Walter can check off another item on her bucket list. Last month, the veteran mountain bike

r a c e r c o m peted in the Tour of the Dragon, billed as the WALTER world’s toughest single-day

races, which takes place in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. Only one other woman has finished the 268-km race, and Walter was able to complete the course in 13 hours. “Epic doesn’t even

begin to describe the Tour of the Dragon,” she said. “I’ve never done anything like it, because there isn’t anything else like it.” Walter, a staff person at a bike shop in Maple Ridge, was able to compete in the race after

winning a contest put on by Q Energy Drink. She won two out of three qualifying matches, including the Test of Metal in Squamish and the Canada Cup in Sudbury, Ont., that put her name in a draw for the race in Bhutan.

Walter has been competing in races for more than 15 years and has represented Canada at six world championships, including one in South Africa a week before the Tour of the Dragon. “It was pretty difficult

to prepare for,” she said. “I only had a short time to make the trip from South Africa to Bhutan, and then recover from four straight days of travel, and acclimatize to the altitude.” see walTER, page 24

Wins move Express within striking distance of first By Gary McKenna The TrI-CITy NeWs

The Coquitlam Express moved to within one point of first place in the BCHL’s Mainland Division after winning three games in a row over the weekend. The wins set the stage

for Friday’s game at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre, which will be a first-place showdown against the Langley Rivermen, who are third overall in the league. Coquitlam’s offence has been on fire as of late and the club now

leads the league in scoring with 50 goals, six ahead of West Kelowna. Express fans were treated to a solid win on Friday at home, in a match that saw both Corey Mackin and Ryan Rosenthal score a pair in a 5-2 win against the Chilliwack Chiefs.

Coquitlam again had the upper hand over the Chiefs on Saturday on the road. Canon Pieper scored two in the first period on the way to a hat trick and the Express chased starting Chilliwack net minder Josh Halpenny, who stopped 13 of 17

shots he faced. Lyndon Stanwood did not fair much better in relief, allowing five goals on the 25 shots Coquitlam threw at him in the remaining 27 minutes of the game. The final score on Saturday was 9-4. The Express rounded

The Port C o q u i t l a m Eurorite Inferno stretched their winning streak to three games on Sunday, after the U17 girls’ soccer team defeated t h e Va n c o u v e r Westside Warriors. The match was a physical, defensive affair, with the only goal of the game coming off a well-placed free kick by Taylor Parussini in the first half. Po C o ’ s m i d fielders also dominated early in the game, with Olivia Sosnowski, Nicole Imai and Aliyah Vasanji keeping the pressure on the visiting team. Strong defensive play from the Inferno allowed the team to maintain the lead in the second half, despite the Vancouver club’s best efforts. Adara Spavier, Trang Ledo and Jamie Campbell kept the Warriors out of PoCo’s end in the later parts of the game, limiting them to just one shot on net. sports@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam mountain bike racer Sandra Walter competed in the Tour of the Dragon, the world’s toughest course, in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan.

Walter only second woman to finish Himalayan bicycle race The lowest point of the race, she noted, is about 1,200 m above sea level, while the route crosses through four mountain passes topping out at 3,340 m.

Forty racers started at 2 a.m. on Sept. 7 in the town of Bumthang. The riders encountered heavy rain and thick fog on the twisting narrow roads and they made their way to the town of Thimphu, Bhutan’s

capitol. “At one point, the fog was so think I had to slow to what felt like a crawl,” she said, “and I was still scared I would run straight into a cow or something.” The event was the

Both Ethan Shuen and Keyshaun Dorsey had touchdowns in the 12-7 victory over the North Surrey Hawks, led by quarterback Sebastian Bernat. The club’s defence was also strong, with Shuen, Dorsey, Isaiah John, Kyle Huish and Dominic BoulangerPorta slowing down the Hawks’ attack for most of the afternoon. Surrey only managed a single touchdown during the late stages of the game. Coquitlam has been strong at home all season and will play the remaining four games at Mackin Park. sports@tricitynews.com
