Serving the silver tsunami By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Students at the Mountain View elementary school in Coquitlam step on to a maze of letters painted on their playground, which is the brainchild of retired School District 43 educator Peter Stainton, who wants to combine literacy and play. For more on the learning project, please see article on page 17.
Fraser Health is addressing the mental health needs of the silver tsunami by building a new residential complex for older adults in Port Coquitlam, says the health authority’s executive director for mental health and substance use. Andy Libbiter said the population of older adults is increasing and those who suffer from schizophrenia, bipolar or schizoaffective disorder deserve to live out their lives in safety and dignity. “Our population is increasing,” Libbiter said. “We need to pay more attention and build or provide more facilities for the older population as the years go on.” But he cautioned people from thinking of the new facility as a return to institutionalization. “In years past, people would come into residential care and stay for life,” he said. “That’s not happening now.” The new facility will recognize, however, that some may have mental health concerns as well as health needs, and that combination may prevent them from living independently. see $33M BUDGETED, page 5
Sater cut off: bartender By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tri-Cities VolunteerFest aims to connect would-be volunteers with groups that need their help. Please see article on page 3
The bartender who served Cory Sater the night he was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run crash that killed two people testified that Sater had been cut off at the bar. Louise Richez, who was a bartender at the Lougheed Village Bar
IN QUOTES
“He was getting a bit hyperactive, louder. I didn’t have too many problems with him. Just by me watching him, he had had enough.” Louise Richez, witness at Cory Sater trial and Grill on Feb. 18, 2011, told the court she had served Sater three
double rye and cokes and a Jägerbomb — a mix of Jägermeister and
Red Bull. She added that her colleague, bartender Donna Haldane, had also been serving Sater when the two servers decided to cut him off. “He was getting a bit hyperactive, louder,” Richez said.“I didn’t have too many problems with him. Just by me watching him, he had had enough. “Yes, he was intoxicated,”she added.
When Crown counsel Chris McPherson asked the witness whether she believed Sater was safe to drive at that point, she said,“No.” Defence lawyer Rishi Gill jumped on the witness’ statement, saying if Sater was as intoxicated as she said, she would have called him a cab. see ‘I WAS FREAKING’, page 7

Kwikwetlem concern stops Kwantlen program Committee, expressed disappointment the program won’t go ahead. He said Colony Farm isn’t the subject of an ongoing land claim by the Kwikwetlem and the program fits in well with the land use. “Based on the kind of use that we’re talking about, which is a use that is already permitted and going on for decades — i.e., farm use — it’s adding an educational
dimension,” Drew said. “There’s nothing to get excited about.” This is not the first time the Kwikwetlem have been upset with Metro Vancouver. Excavation to clear out a ditch in the park raised concerns in August because there were no archeological professionals on hand when the digging was done near two known archeological sites.
Make a date with volunteer destiny
Anmore fee pulled
By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS
A plan to establish an agricultural lab for students to study sustainable farming practices at Colony Farm Regional Park has been put on hold in response to concerns from the Kwikwetlem First Nation. In a letter to Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Kwikwetlem Chief Ron
Giesbrecht said activities leading to the program must cease because Colony Farm is part of the Kwikwetlem’s cultural and title lands but the band hadn’t been engaged by Metro Vancouver in the planning, licensing or development of the program. “The Kwikwetlem First Nation unequivocally opposes the development or implementation of the
Kwantlen Polytechnic University Sustainable Agricultural teaching and Demonstration L a b o r a t o r y Fa r m a t C o l o n y Fa r m ,” Giesbrecht wrote. Chief Giesbrecht didn’t return calls to The Tri-City News before the print deadline yesterday but a spokesperson for Metro Vancouver said the letter would be reviewed by the Environment and Parks Committee at its
Nov. 14 meeting. Kwantlen had planned to grow crops at Colony Farm next year as part of its four-year sustainable agriculture degree program but program head Kent Mullinix said the project is on hold while he waits for Metro Vancouver and the Kwikwetlem band to sort out their differences. “We’re disappointed but we understand the Kwikwetlem sentiment
and our position is we don’t want to start a farm crosswise with anybody,” Mullinix said. Approximately two dozen students had enrolled in the degree program last year and were to exchange laptops for gloves and shovels and work in the fields as part of their studies.

VolunteerFest on Saturday at mall
By Jason Roessle The Tri-CiTy NewS
By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS
Volunteerism is alive and well in the Tri-Cities and an event this weekend will make it easier for people to who want to help to connect with agencies that need it. Kind of like speeddating for the volunteer community, TriCities VolunteerFest — Saturday, Oct. 19 at Coquitlam Centre mall — will bring 25 agencies together with potential volunteers for an introduction that could result in a budding relationship. At least that’s the goal of Community Volunteer Connections executive director Stacy Ashton, who said the annual event is one of the simplest ways to figure out where to lend a hand if you would like to give back to the community. “It’s really valuable,” she said. “There are so many different ways to contribute.” For example, if you are interested in helping isolated and frail elders, or fundraising for a local cause, there are opportunities to meet agencies seeking help and expertise. “You know you want to get involved. This is the place to find out how,” Ashton said. Working in volunteerism is one of the best jobs, said Ashton, because she gets to meet people who want to give back and make their community a better

Stacy Ashton of Community Volunteer Connections is looking forward to Tri-Cities VolunteerFest on Saturday at Coquitlam Centre mall. place. “I get to see people and their acts of generosity and compassion.” But while volunteerism is on the rise in the TriCities, there are certain groups that do more than others. For example, recent immigrants to Canada tend to get involved as a way to get to know their new home and meet new
people; seniors are avid volunteers because they want to keep busy and contribute; and young people are signing up to be volunteers to learn more about the world and gain experiences — and resume items — that will last them a lifetime. Tri-Cities VolunteerFest runs from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Agencies sched-
uled to be there include: • AccessYouth Outreach Services (PoCoMoYouth Services); • Canadian Mental Health Association; • Citizen Support Services; • Eagle Ridge Hospital; • Eagle Ridge Hospital Auxiliary; • Friends of Coquitlam Public Library Society;
• Glen Pine 50 Plus Society; • Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada; • Immigrant Services Society of British Columbia; • NewView Society; • Port Coquitlam Royal Purple Lodge #10; • SUCCESS; • Soroptimist International of the Tri-Cities;
• The Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver; • Tzu Chi Foundation Canada. For more information about Community Volunteer Connections and to check out its database of 100 agencies, visit www.volunteerconnections.net. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Anmore residents will no longer pay an extra fee to use Port Moody rec facilities. PoMo council voted Oct. 8 to scrap a policy that has seen residents of the village shell out a 110% levy on top of base fees at the recreation complex. A joint recreational task force encompassing representatives from Anmore and Port Moody met five times starting in October 2012 to discuss combined recreation activities and potential ways to share costs and revenues. In a report to council earlier this year, the task force recommended replacing the levy with an annual $125-perfamily membership but, ultimately, council decided to go back to one fee for all visitors. Partly influencing the decision, according to PoMo Mayor Mike Clay, was the drastic decline in revenue as Anmore residents opted to stop using the rec complex. Some Anmore residents told Clay they believed the fees were vindictive. He said the risk was that people would stop coming, and they did. Revenue fell from a high of $24,000 to just $7,197 in 2012. Clay said this is counter-productive to Port Moody’s goal of getting more people through the doors to help pay for the capital costs of the facility. jroessle@tricitynews.com

$33M budgeted continued from front page
The $33-million project, which includes a 136bed residential care facility for the frail elderly as well as 24 mental health beds, will be built and run by Baltic Properties, which has experience operating residential care facilities elsewhere in the region. Future residents of the mental health facility may have had problems with substance abuse but Libbiter said the facil-
ity won’t be specifically for people dealing with drugs or alcohol abuse. “It’s not an addictions facility. This is for people living with serious and persistent mental illness who can’t live alone.” It will be built to meet the needs of older adults, with accessible features and therapeutic programs geared to the interests of seniors as well as supports that could potentially enable them to return to the community. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

H. Forrest I was a Port Coquitlam entrepreneur who was born here. Over my lifetime, I owned and operated a sawmill, a number of tugboats, a lumber yard, and PoCo's first and only roller rink--The Port Palladiu--an early community recreation centre of sorts, but which was mysteriously burned down. Active in all aspects of community life, my family and I also fished on the Fraser River.

‘I was freaking out. I was in a state of shock’ continued from front page
She responded by telling the court that she assumed that Sater would be going to the residence of Troy McClure, the man with whom Sater had been drinking, and who she knew lived in the Lougheed Village neighbourhood. “Apparently, I made a bad assumption,” she said. Sater eventually left the establishment with Lloyd Smith. The two intended to go to Sater’s home in Coquitlam, retrieve some money and find another bar. Smith previously testified that the pair were returning to the Lougheed Highway and North Road area when the collision occurred. Charlene Reaveley, a Port Coquitlam mother of four, and Lorraine Cruz were killed instantly in the crash and Cruz’s boyfriend, Paulo Calimbahin, suffered serious injuries. Smith told the court on Thursday that he knew almost immediately that the two women who were struck had been killed.

Lloyd Smith, a friend of Cory Sater, testifying in court
Lorraine Cruz (left) and Charlene Reaveley were killed in 2011 when struck by a hit-and-run driver. Cory Sater is currently on trial on 10 charges in connection with the deaths. “I was freaking out,” he said. “I was in a state of shock.” He later added that “when you are going that fast, the probability of someone surviving that is slim.” Smith told the court that after the collision, he yelled at Sater to stop the vehicle but he continued driving down the Lougheed Highway, eventually parking in the Cape Horn area. “I have children,” Sater said repeatedly, according to Smith. “I have to say ‘bye’ to my children.”
The two parked the car near Sater’s girlfriend’s home. When she did not answer the door, the pair walked to Sater’s brother’s house. While they were walking, Smith told the court, he could see police officers shutting down Lougheed Highway. “I wanted to go down there,” he said. “I just wanted to go back.” “Did you, in fact, go down there?” Crown counsel Christopher McPherson asked him. “No, I didn’t,” Smith responded.
When the two arrived at the home of Sater’s brother, Leonard, Smith explained what had happened. Eventually, both of them left in separate taxis. On cross examination, Sater’s lawyer, Tony Serka, made several attempts to get Smith to say the crash was unavoidable. The prosecution objected each time, noting the witness was not driving the vehicle and was not in a position to answer the question. But Smith noted on several occasions that the incident happened quite quickly. He told the court that he felt safe and secure driving with Sater behind the wheel. The trial continues.

Without a major sponsor, Canada Day fireworks at Town Centre park have become pricey for Coquitlam taxpayers.

BURGER $ and a BEER
Coquitlam City Council invites applications from residents or representatives of organizations operating in the City of Coquitlam who are interested in volunteering on a municipal advisory committee or board. Opportunities will be available beginning in January 2014 to serve, or continue to serve, on the following bodies: ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲
The bang may be taken out of Coquitlam’s most popular community event. Last week, some councillors suggested the cost of the fireworks display for Canada Day is too much given the city’s struggle to secure a permanent sponsor. Coun. Brent Asmundson said the $180,000 price tag for the July 1 event this year was $35,000 over budget despite city staff’s efforts to save money. He said while the fifth annual Canada Day party drew around 60,000 revellers to Town Centre Park, the $20,000 pyrotechnics show by Archangel Fireworks is an expense council has to think hard about as it heads into budget talks this and next month. The 2014 Canada Day is budgeted at $180,000. “We need to watch our costs and make some tough choices,” Asmundson said. “It’s a great function,” Coun. Lou Sekora added, “but it just keeps climbing.” The Canada Day event is “about what Coquitlam is and can be,” Coun. Neal Nicholson said, but “I want to get more aggressive with sponsorship.” Mayor Richard Stewart said he supports the event. “I had more people comment that it’s the best fireworks they have ever seen,” he said. “This is our future festival. It’s what Coquitlam is today.” Council made the comments at the Oct. 7 council-in-committee
tival be held in the north area of Lafarge Lake as well as Town Centre Park’s south field (where the Teddy Bear Picnic is held) and Percy Perry Stadium. If the move is approved, Kathy Reinheimer, Coquitlam’s parks and facilities manager, said council would be required to change its policy on the use of the stadium grounds as only sporting events, the BC Highland Games and Relay for Life are permitted there. Community services manager Nicholas Najda said a stage could be placed above the stadium’s artificial turf field to prevent it from being damaged. Council also said Town Centre Park needs to have a purpose-built festival site with three major events coming up: Coquitlam’s 125th birthday in 2016; the BC Seniors’ Games the same year; and Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017.

Walk this way
PICTURE THIS adrian raeside
S
chool zones should be quiet oases where children can walk safely without fear of being tomorrow’s headline. In fact, school zones during morning drop-off are some of the biggest danger areas, worse than mall parking lots during the Christmas rush. This past week, school authorities, IWALK, Dash BC, TransLink and ICBC worked on various campaigns to promote more children walking to school during International Walk To School Week. There were free bus tickets to be had and even prizes for students who made their way to school by walking, cycling or using some other form of non-automobile transportation. It was a feel-good exercise but many kids never walk to school, and a campaign like this doesn’t accomplish that much. Kids get driven to school every day for a variety of reasons: convenience or lack of time; parents’ fears for their kids’ safety; or because their child attends a program of choice outside their catchment area. While it would be nice if more people walked their kids to school or neighbourhood “walking school buses” got kids to school safely, the fact remains cars are still a popular form of transportation and school zones are congested and dangerous. What’s needed is not prizes for kids but better awareness by parents, some of whom take great risks — and put other children at risk — when they drop off their kids. Sometimes, it’s not even the fault of parents that school zones are dangerous but the fact that these zones are poorly planned because they were built when most kids did walk to school. Now, these drop-offs are holding areas for idling SUVs and are an accident waiting to happen, especially when weather is poor, or stressed parents or distracted children don’t understand the dangers. School District 43 will be addressing this issue with its new traffic safety committee and parents’ input is requested. Let’s hope parents will buy in to the idea that they must take some responsibility for the problem and take steps to fix it.
Teachers’ ‘social justice’ is student indoctrination BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA s the BC Teachers’ Federation executive moseys back to the bargaining table after a summer off, I’m reminded of former education minister George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union. It started with a lecture. “In my first meeting with the BCTF, and I gather this is characteristic of all first meetings with education ministers, the TF advises that, yes, they are a union, but first and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,”Abbott recalled. Their buzzword is“social justice,”which is portrayed by leftists as superior to plain old justice, in ways that are seldom defined. So what exactly are the goals of this“social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned.
A
Parents may recall the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12.This was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers and the ministry curriculum describes its emphasis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual differences. That’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by urgently needed anti-bullying and empathy efforts at all grades. Then there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against“racism, homophobia and sexism”but also“poverty and globalization.” The BCTF has a quarterly“Social Justice Newsletter”filled with predictable economic assumptions. Readers of the latest issue are reminded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view of Canada’s record on human rights, including a right to housing. Undefined “poverty”statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete relative measures. One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2 and 3 students, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing to the premier asking for a systemic

plan to address child poverty.” Leaving aside whether eight-year-olds can understand what“systemic”means, this rhetoric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It rests on the cherished myth that poverty is imposed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on“the rich.” And what about that darned“globalization”? The BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its website promoting the claim that Nike is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Third World sweatshops. Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation. This was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any different? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale, old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions. A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe the federation could check over its teaching unit
on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s“social justice” truth team. Entitled“What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers,”it boasts wildlife photos and“key sources”from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is another protesters’ guide designed around a predetermined viewpoint. BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of“critical thinking.”These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite. They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, in which loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate. Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution.

TRI-CITY LETTERS Coquitlam must hear businesses The Editor, Re. “City gets biz honour as it also receives biz criticism” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 9). How disappointing to read the remarks of Mayor Richard Stewart and Coquitlam councillors after so many businesses addressed them at the budget 2014 town hall. The irony is that Coquitlam won the provincial Open for Business award because they promised to consult small business through a satisfaction survey. But when businesses come out to a meeting to tell cities they must slow their out-of-control spending to provide some tax relief, apparently they don’t like that message. Only in the unreal world of local government can top administrators receive 14% raises in one-year and politicians justify it as a wise investment. Mayor and council promised to meet with small business stakeholders that evening and Coquitlam business owners will hold them to that pledge.

At a mall not near you, SELECTION UTDOOR LIVING
The Editor, Re. “Is cross-border shopping un-Canadian or understandable?” (Face to Face, The TriCity News, Sept. 27). I’m opening a store. It’s for cross-border shoppers. To make you all feel at ease, here’s what I’m going to do: • I’m locating it a good 20 miles or more from where you live. • You’ll have to wait in your car for a minimum of an hour and up to three hours to get in. • As you pull up to seek permission to enter my store, I’ll have some very disgruntled people ask you some very personal questions (and, really, they are pretty innocuous questions but can be tricky so be careful). Get one wrong, you can’t come back for years. • If I decide you can’t come in, you’ll have no appeal.
Speak up! You can comment on any story you read at www.tricitynews.com
• I’ll give you what you think is a good deal on select merchandise. • By not collecting or remitting taxes to support your vast variety of current, future or as yet unimagined needs, I’ll keep my massive profits. • I’ll make it fun for you. It will be in a mall that you think is different from any other but really is just like thousands elsewhere. If you feel like it’s too much like home or a cheap version, just check your GPS. If no GPS, just head to the food court. Or the nearest McDonalds. They’ll be way different. • After checking your GPS, always tell yourself about how great
the selection is at my store compared to othM ers. That will make it easier to justify spending your money (especially on bed sheets) here versus stores that do support your medicare and other worthy programs. Remember: SELECTION. It’s a soothing word, and so satisfying. • Finally, my store name is the United States of Canadian Shoppers. Opening soon! Peter Bennett, Coquitlam

New logo, new vision for local youth services group By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
P o C o M o Yo u t h Services is changing its name and logo to better reflect its services and its mandate, says executive director Jerome Bouvier. Th e n e w n a m e i s ACCESS Youth Outreach Services Society, and the new brand will be fully rolled out at a gala fundraising event Oct. 24 at the Red Robinson Show Theatre. “We felt it was time for a fresh look and a fresh name because our vision and our strategic plan, and, as an organization moving forward, we want people to know what we do now.” Bouvier said the name ACCESS was chosen to underscore the organization’s efforts to be more accessible to youth. The organization’s Project Reach Out bus that circulates to various youth hot spots on weekends is now in Langley, as

Jerome Bouvier is the executive director for PoCoMo Youth Ser vices, which is changing its name to ACCESS Youth Outreach Services Society. well as the Tri-Cities, and there are new programs for youth in schools to teach compassion and empathy. “We’re accessible to the youth, almost everything we do is after hours and we bring services to the kids,” he said, explaining the reasoning behind the new name. “We’re accessible, that
reflects truly who we are in the way we do things.” Wi t h Ministry of Children and Development funding last year, the organization was able to hire two case workers who jobshare 35 hours a week to work with youth between 4 and 10 p.m. Bouvier said the extra hours of the two case workers, in addition to the Project Reach Out bus, means the organization is able to do more to support vulnerable and at risk youth. Case workers monitor Facebook — 160 youth have “friended” the organization — and connect up with youth who appear to be struggling. They then refer them to school counsellors and other agencies who may be able to help. “We become the link,” said Bouvier, “We work with MCFD, PLEA and youth workers and schools to help provide support to young people.”
Although the new name is being circulated, the new logo won’t be revealed until Thursday, Oct. 24., when PoCoMo hosts its second annual Evening of Inspiration Gala. PoCoMo hopes for a sold-out crowd of 250 people and to reach its fundraising goal of $15,000. The event will feature a gourmet meal, auction items, raffle prizes, live performances by local recording artist Sarah K and the Mellado youth hip hop dance group. There will also be an inspirational speech by Jeremy Pearce of the SFU Clan Football team. Tickets are $70 for an individual or $525 for a table of eight and can be purchased on t h e Po C o M o w e b site through PayPal or PoCoMo Office: Fe r n wo o d L o d g e (Riverview site), 604-5251888. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Flu Shot Clinic
The B.C. environment ministry has released its promised study of the current state of crude oil spill response capability, tracking the growing tonnage of petroleum shipping along the West Coast and estimating response time and effectiveness if oil was to spill at sea. Oil recovery in computer simulated oil spills could be as high as 25 per cent after five days, or as low as four per cent for Alaska crude, with another quarter evaporating. The study was commissioned to back up Premier Christy Clark’s conditions for B.C.’s approval of expanded heavy oil shipments, either from twinning t h e Tra n s M o u n t a i n pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby, or the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project across northern B.C. to a new tanker port at Kitimat. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the study shows the need to increase response capability before the B.C. government would consider increased oil shipments.

TL’s return to CNG buses criticized By Jeff Nagel Black Press
TransLink plans to buy more compressed natural gas (CNG) buses that it shunned for years and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan is questioning whether the reversal is politically motivated. The transportation authority has more than 50 CNG buses, some dating back to the 1990s, but it rejected new purchases for years after concluding they weren’t cost-effective due to high maintenance costs and other problems. In the mid-2000s, the then-elected TransLink board wavered several times on which fuel type of bus to buy while being
heavily lobbied by duelling industry groups. Corrigan wonders if the private unelected board has embraced CNG to please the provincial government as it promotes natural gas exports as a key to B.C.’s future. “Is this about politics, about provincial government pressure to ensure that natural gas buses are here because we market so much natural gas worldwide?”he asked at a Metro Vancouver meeting Oct. 9. TransLink executive vice-president Bob Paddon said the decision to buy 54 new natural gas buses, using federal gas tax funds, was a staff recommendation, en-
dorsed by the board, not a decision forced down from the board. He said early CNG buses were “very problematic” but the technology has improved dramatically and the much lower price of natural gas today has made it very attractive. “Right now our assessment is the CNGs are a good replacement rather than purchasing new clean diesels.” Paddon, who chairs the Canadian Urban Transit Association, said several other transit agencies are now looking at CNG. “There’s just a much stronger business case than it was 10 years ago,” he said.
A 2012 efficiency review of TransLink also recommended it expand the CNG fleet in light of better life cycle costs. Replacing old diesel buses with compressed natural gas will cut particulate and nitrogen oxide emissions by 90% and greenhouse gas emissions by 15%, according to TransLink. TransLink also plans over the next three years to buy dozens more diesel-electric hybrids, which Paddon said are ideal in urban traffic where electric trolleys can’t run. He noted regular diesels are still also needed for some routes because the advantages of elec-
tric hybrids are lost on long highway runs. All-electric non-trolley buses are also on the horizon, Paddon said, likely available in as little as three to five years. TransLink can only refuel natural gas buses at its Port Coquitlam bus depot, but that capability may be extended to depots in Surrey and Richmond. BC Ferries is also moving to power some of its ferries by natural gas. Corrigan contends that running a wide range of buses of different fuel types drives up costs, making CNG an unwise experiment in light of the past problems. jnagel@blackpress.ca
Lanes will be closed There will be overnight road closures and parking restrictions on Clarke Street in Port Moody for the next four to six weeks. A storm sewer installation underneath the westbound HOV lane on Clarke for the Evergreen Line project will see temporary night construction between Elgin and Grant streets this week. Road closures and parking restrictions will happen from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday to Friday. Poor weather could alter the schedule and activities will also be coordinated with the city of Port Moody’s work on the Moody Street overpass. Local residents can expect noise, including saw cutting and the use of heavy machinery, according to EGRT Construction, the company working on the
Evergreen project. This three-phase project will move into the second part starting Oct. 21, when Clarke between Kyle and Grant streets will be closed nightly and motorists will be detoured to St. Johns Street. There will be temporary parking bans on the north and south sides of Clarke between Kyle and Grant. In the third phase, which is expected to begin Oct. 28 if the weather cooperates, Clarke Street between Kyle and Moody streets will be closed nightly and motorists shunted to St. Johns. There will be no parking permitted on the north side of Clarke between Mary and Grant. On the south side of Clarke Street, no parking will be permitted between Mary and Moody streets.

the “stocking program is critical to the province’s recreational fishing sector as it supports 50% of all angling activity on lakes province-wide and as much as 90% in some regions.” Since 2003, the FFSBC has put 160,000 trout into Lafarge and Como lakes as part of the Fishing in the City program; as well, 5,200 Coquitlam children and families have participated in the society’s Learn to Fish program. The FFSBC was created in 2003 as a private, not-for-profit organization, funded largely through freshwater fishing licence revenues.

With words underfoot, learning becomes a game for children Retired teacher brings words to the playground By Diane Strandberg The TRi-CiTy NewS
O
n a cool, crisp fall day, when the leaves on the trees in Mountain View’s school courtyard were the colour of ripe pears and ready to drop, some Grade 3 and 4 students scampered through a concrete breezeway on their way into class. Some of the boys and girls at the Coquitlam elementary school jumped on to a maze of mixed up letters painted on the ground and started following them from A to Z while still others stood on a spelling game and tested one another’s knowledge of 120 of the most commonly misspelled words in the English language. Some mysterious initiation into playground culture? In a way, yes, says literacy game developer Peter Stainton. The retired School District 43 educator wants to change the way children and teachers think about literacy and play by bringing the two concepts together in an outdoor playground. “Some of the kids who go to school spend over 20% of their time at school on the playground,”Stainton said, “so if you can put games out into the culture of the playground and, if it hits them appropriately in the sweet spot developmentally, they’ll engage.” As an educator who has studied curriculum development and taught at-risk and vulnerable students, Stainton understands well what it takes to teach children to read.
DIANE STRANDBERG/ThE TRI-cITy NEwS
Peter Stainton is a retired School District 43 educator and owner of Literacy Playground. He and his church have worked with Coquitlam’s Mountain View elementary school on its playground. Many learn best when they are moving their bodies or socializing in a relaxed environment. At the same time, the playground is a vastly under-utilized space for learning, he said. Schools have acres of concrete and sometimes the only game you see is an old-
fashioned hopscotch. Stainton has developed several different
games that he sells online through his business, Literacy Playground
(www.literacyplayground.com). The game stencils include a verb
trail, where children hop onto words such as “laugh”and“dance”and
do the actions; and a variety of rhyming squares, where children learn spelling and vocabulary by identifying word “families”(words that sound similar but are spelled differently and have different meanings), as well as the alphabet and spelling games. So far, the games have been piloted at Mountain View and another school in Delta that Stainton is working with and the response has been positive, he said. “You can add balls and things and bean bags,” he said.“It doesn’t take anything, you just move your body.” The games can be used for co-operative play as well as to challenge students, and the stencils are available in French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch. Principal Marsha Arnold said she appreciated Stainton’s volunteer efforts — he also reads to the children in his spare time — and his church, Coquitlam Presbyterian, has adopted Mountain View and helped it beautify the courtyard. “Peter has really stepped up and he understands the principles of play,”Arnold said. As for the children who hopped through the mazes, skipped along the verb trail and tested one another’s spelling, they had fun without realizing they were also learning something. “Even the admission that playgrounds can be used for educational purposes, if that’s all it accomplishes, and if it becomes part of the culture of the playground and something they engage in and want to be part of,”Stainton said, then he has accomplished his goal. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Not all vampires & bleak futures in teen reads A GOOD READ Karen Sharkey
Walking series. In the first book, The Knife of Never Letting Go, we meet Todd, the last boy in Prentisstown, a settler town on the New World. During a war, a germ was released that killed all of the women in town. This same germ also brought the Noise. Now, everyone can hear each other’s thoughts all the time — there is no such thing as silence. Or, at least, this is what Todd has been taught. One day, Todd finds a small area of silence, where there is no Noise.

This discovery sets off him off on a dangerous adventure during which he learns the real history of the New World and Prentisstown. Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a brilliant novel that won the National Book Award. Junior, a 14-year-old living on the Spokane Indian reservation, has a hard time fitting in. After getting suspended, he decides to go to the high school in town, where everyone is white.

And it’s not all vampires and bleak futures. There’s something for everyone, from serious Carnegie award-winrealistic fiction dealing ner Patrick Ness creates with complicated issues an original and exciting to fast, fun romance. dystopia with the Chaos And, of course, there are still lots of dystopias, vampires, paranormal romance and zombies. In Every Day by David Levithan, we meet A, waking up on a typical day in a very untypical life. Every morning, A wakes up in a new body and lives the life of the person for one day. The next morning, it starts all over again. A quickly figures out as much about the person as possible and just gets through the day before moving onto the next person. But one morning, A wakes up as Justin and meets Rhiannon, Justin’s girlfriend. They have a perfect day together, which makes A realize what’s 3325 been missing.

decision, he faces racism in his new school and anger from his community at what is perceived as his betrayal. Alexie’s novel, which contains great illustrations by Ellen Forney, exposes social injustice while telling both a funny and heartbreaking story. Gene LuenYang’s excellent, award-winning graphic novel, American Born Chinese, also tackles issues of racism and belonging in high school.Yang presents three narratives, telling the Monkey King legend,
along with the stories of two boys, Jin and Danny, both trying to fit in and having girl trouble in American high schools. As the novel progresses, the narratives become intertwined and come together as the characters present their true selves. For those of you who can’t get enough of dystopia, there are still more great titles to read. The Dust Lands trilogy by MoiraYoung and the Triskelia trilogy by Carrie Mac both create intriguing worlds. Watch out for Allegiant,
being released in late October, the third book in Veronica Roth’s Divergent series. And check out Melanie Lu’s Legend series, with the latest book, Champion, coming out in November. Come to the library to find these books and make sure to ask library staff for more suggestions for great reads.

2 houses haunted Scare us, please! to help out Variety I
To market to help
The Port Moody Farmer’s Market is wrapping up the summer season with a fundraiser. Every Friday in October, the market is serving a hot dinner to market attendees, with proceeds going to the Share Family and Community Services food bank. For $7, market-goers get a hot entrée, a side dish, a fresh salad and dessert — all provided by market vendors. There will also be chef’s demonstrations as well as musical entertainment. The Port Moody Fa r m e r ’ s M a r ke t runs until the end of the month on Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m. at the PoMo rec complex, 300 Ioco Rd. For more information, visit makebakegrow.com.
Ayers, Ciarniello haunted houses open on Friday
Trick or treat time is just around the corner and Coquitlam has some spooky fun to offer. Residents Vickie Ayers and David Ciarniello have spent weeks setting up haunted house displays at their respective homes, with proceeds from both events benefiting Variety — The Children’s Charity. With the help of friends and family, Ciarniello has spent years collecting and building dozens of props, which include a number of technically complicated animatronics. And when Ken McLean
of Halloween Alley on North Road heard that David was fundraising for Variety, he opened his doors and told him to borrow whatever he needed for the display. If your little ones are a bit too small for serious spookiness, take them to Ayers’ family friendly Halloween haunted house. For 15 years, she has entertained visitors with her spectacular display, with all proceeds donated to the children’s charity. A long-time Variety supporter, Ayers fundraises all year and makes an annual appearance on the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon with her signature “money heart.” Last year, her Haunted House raised more than $7,000 for children who
magine 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,
have special needs, and her goal this year is to top that number. Both haunted houses are open daily from Friday, Oct. 18 through Halloween, Thursday, Oct. 31. Other details: • Ciarniello’s display is located at 1838 Haversley Ave., Coquitlam and is open daily from 6 to 9 p.m. Entrance is by donation and there is candy for children. • Ayers’ haunted house is located at 443 Draycott St., Coquitlam and is open daily from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Entrance is by donation and there is candy for kids. The site is wheelchair accessible and if you bring your recyclables, she will add your bottles and cans to her fundraising bottle drive.
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.

A wing, prayer for fine arts
F
or the opening of the new fine arts wing at Port Coquitlam’s Archbishop Carney regional secondary last month, the school put on a show to remember. Father Patrick Chisholm, the episcopal vicar for Catholic schools, was accompanied by a dozen priests for a blessing that included sprinkling of holy water inside the new facility. His words and actions could be seen on a screen by the 300-plus people in the adjoining gymnasium — thanks to camera on Chisholm. There were also speeches (including from the city’s mayor, Greg Moore, past principal Peter Dawe and the superintendent of Catholic independent schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese), a prayer service, a concert (with students and alumni singing and playing music) and, of course, an official ribbon cutting. And afterward, participants feasted on a cake that was designed to look like a model of the new fine arts wing. “It was such a wonderful event,” principal Lorraine Paruzzolo said during a tour of the building. The smell of fresh paint is still prominent and staff like Evelyn Young, the fine arts department head, and choir master Emmanuella Triveri are in awe with their 6,200-sq. ft. accessible digs that replaced a cramped, double-wide portable. Now, there is room to store equipment and instruments plus practice areas, a media arts computer place and enough space to hang their awards from festivals around North America. There are also stateof-the-art technology and projectors for teachers to lead the 200-plus music students in Grades 8 to 12 (about 40% of the student body is in at least one fine arts class at Carney). Best of all, said Triveri, the rooms are sound-proof so she can conduct her choirs upstairs without hearing the bands play below. Paruzzolo also is proud to point out the new fine arts annex came in “on time and on budget” — not an easy feat for a construction project. Conception and fundraising started a decade ago, she said, with the community raising the necessary $2.1 million to build the wing. Over the years, special collections have been taken at regional feeder Catholic parishes and schools and annual galas have been held to get the structure built. Paruzzolo said the current push is to raise money for on-going costs such as sheet music, instruments and other furnishings. A legacy wall is up to recognize donors on a bronze, silver or gold“note”level. jwarren@tricitynews.com

New PC artist-in-residence, ECC gallery manager Two Tri-City residents have taken up prominent roles on the local arts scene. Port Coquitlam’s Adrian Walker, a painter and photographer, was named last week as the city’s first artist-in-residence at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village. Walker will create in a studio space at the Gathering Place until December as part of the new program that sees artists-in-residence rotate every three months. Walker’s work will exhibited from Oct. 30 to Dec. 1, 2014. To see him in action, go to the Gathering Place (behind PoCo city hall) from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays, except Thursdays (to apply for a residency for next year’s intake, email arts@portcoquitlam.ca). Meanwhile, Port Moody resident Gregory Elgstrand is the new visual arts manager WAlkER at the Evergreen Cultural Centre. Elgstrand, a Centennial secondary school grad and former arts consultant, will take over from Astrid Heyerdahl, who left the
Coquitlam arts hub last month for a job in North Vancouver. Trained at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, SFU and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, ElGsTRAnD Elgstrand was previously a director at YYZ Artists’ Outlet in Toronto and curator at the Art Gallery of Calgary. He was also a director at the Truck Centre for Contemporary Art in Calgary, AB, and co-ordinator at the Struts Gallery in
Sackville, N.B. Elgstrand is also the founder of Bohart, a non-profit society that aims to build a contemporary arts centre in the Tri-Cities, similar in style to Winnipeg’s Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art Gallery, Toronto’s The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery or the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, England. His hope is to have curated displays, performances and film screenings from local, regional, national and international artists.

The Tri-Cities have been able to enjoy Mongolian BBQ since September of 2009. Since then, delighted diners have been creating their own taste treats and having them cooked up right in front of them at King’s Mongolian Grill. This Month however a transformation has taken place. You can still enjoy the fabulous food here, but the restaurant itself has changed hands! It is now called Sun Mongolian Restaurant and is under new ownership. Not only has the name changed, the interior has undergone a facelift and the exterior sports a bright new sign! That’s not all that has changed. The prices are lower and there are also more items to choose from when you create your master piece! This isn’t just eating, it’s fun! First you choose your weapon. At lunch, pick a Small Bowl (from $5.99),a medium ($6.99) a large bowl ($7.99) or All You Can Eat ($11.99). The All You Can Eat includes soup, salad and rice. At dinner, (after 4:30 pm) All You Can Eat is$12.99, but when you dine-in, not only do you get get salad, rice, and soup, but also shrimp chips, pineapple and veggie spring rolls. You can also choose a Small Bowl (from $7.99)or a large bowl 9.99). A Kids Bowl is also available for $3.99 at lunch or dinner. (5 years or under) Take-out is available as well, for the Medium and Large Bowls. Once you’ve chosen your bowl size, you can pick between Lamb, Pork, Beef and Chicken, Tofu and now seafood (for an additional $2.99/100 grams),(or some of each) and 15 types of veggies, as well as rice and egg noodles. Now for the best part! The sauces! 15 to choose from! Mix and match to create your own, or try one of their Special combos. I like to experiment!

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula
Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement.
Drivers encouraged to use alternate routes while above work is underway. We appreciate your patience during construction. Please watch for work crews and equipment and obey all traffic control personnel and signs, including construction speed limits.

First exhibit for ex-animator THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Patti Munro learns the most from her mistakes — or, as she calls them,“oopses.” The former animation artist will be threequarters done with her artwork when she’ll place it on the wall for a few weeks to test its strength. If the Port Moody artist likes what she sees, she’ll carry on and finish it. But if it drives her crazy, the piece will come down and something will come off or more will go on. Typically, her assemblages will go through three or four cycles before they are ready for viewing. “It’s layer after layer after layer,” Munro said with a laugh, adding, “I’ve got a busy household and something will
Grants up for grabs Artists and arts, culture and heritage groups in Port Coquitlam have until the end of the month to apply for a city grant. The city recently extended its application date for its Community C u l t u r a l Development Investment Program from Sept. 30 to Oct. 30. Grants will be awarded to individuals and organizations in PoCo — or those that have a regional or national mandate that includes PoCo — who are creating a new or sustaining arts- or culture-related project. Applications can be found at portcoquitlam.ca. Email forms to johalp@ portcoquitlam.ca.

inevitably land on the canvas. It may stay there or it may give a whole new meaning to what I’m creating.” This month, Munro will show 25 new paintings and installations in her first ever public display. The exhibit, which opens tomorrow (Thursday) at the Port Moody Arts Centre, is called Mad Imperfekshen and will be up in the facility’s Main and Plum galleries until Nov. 7. Returning to the arts scene is something Munro has wanted for years. In the 1990s, she worked for Walt Disney Canada but later took time out to raise her family. In 2011, Munro got back into the groove and, last year, had an article and photos published in Cloth Paper Scissors, a magazine geared to mixed-media artists. For Mad Imperfekshen, most of Munro’s
pieces use materials such as acrylics, tissue, paper mache and glass. And, she said, unlike other artists, she doesn’t have a problem letting them go in the end. That want to part ways with her work stems from her childhood, when she drew on a chalkboard. “I was happy to erase it and move on,” Munro said. “Although I love all my pieces, I know there’s a lot more to do.” • Also opening on Thursday is a glass sculpture exhibit titled Ignite the Passion by twins Leslie Rowe-Israelson and Melanie Rowe. The public reception runs from 6 to 8 p.m. at PMAC (2425 St. John’s St.). The artists will be in attendance and light refreshments will be served.

The Coquitlam Express lost 3-1 to the Langley Rivermen during a BCHL game on Friday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. The Express bounced back with a solid performance Saturday night against the Merritt Centennials at the Nicola Valley Arena.
Express split weekend & Ravens victorious in miss first place in division Tri-City showdown Club edges Merritt but can’t best league-leading Langley Rivermen By Gary McKenna The TRi-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Express had a chance to take first place in the BCHL’s Mainland Division Friday night. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, Langley Rivermen goalie Steve Myland had other ideas. The 19-year-old netminder turned away 31
of the 32 shots he faced at the Po i r i e r Sports a n d Leisure PIEPER Complex, including a barrage of chances early in the first period. But Coquitlam was only able to solve the Myland once with a power play goal from Bo Pieper midway through the second period that was assisted by Matthew Berry-Lamontagna. Pieper’s goal made it
1-1 after Langley drew first blood in the opening frame with a power DEFIEL play goal of their own netted by Austin Azurdia. The Express were unable to sustain the offensive pressure they exerted in the first half of the game, slowing down in the third period and giving Langley a chance to take the lead. The Rivermen capitalized with a goal from
Kevan Kilistoff assisted by Charlie Pelnik. Nathan Craft made it 3-1 with two minutes left in the game and the Express were unable to notch their second of the night. Gordie Defiel had a solid game between the pipes for Coquitlam, stopping 25 of the 28 shots he faced, including several good Langley chances midway through the second. The Express did not have much time to dwell on Friday night’s loss.
Cents struggle to put up points against rivals T h e Te r r y Fo x Ravens emerged victorious in the battle for Tri-City AAA high school football supremacy. Fox took on crosstown rivals the Centennial Centaurs Friday night at Percy Perry Stadium, dealing the Coquitlam club its second loss of the regu-
lar season. Centennial took an early lead, scoring the first touchdown of the game, and appeared poised for a solid match against the PoCo club. However, the Ravens managed to get on the board with a pair of touchdowns from Mike West to make it 16-6 in the second quarter. Both teams found the end zone one more time before the half to make it 23-12 going
into the third quarter. Centennial’s scoring dried up in the late stages of the game and the team was unable to put another point on the board for the rest of the match. T h a t g av e t h e Ravens an opportunity to extend their lead and they eventually took the match 36-12, keeping their unbeaten streak intact this regular season. see RavEnS, page 28

The Centennial Centaurs were no match for cross-town rivals the Terry Fox Ravens, who bested the AAA high school football club 36-12 at Percy Perry Stadium on Saturday night.
Ravens second in league The Ravens were equally dominant when the club took on W.J. Mouat last week. After a scoreless first quarter, Fox’s special teams managed a touchdown after a blocked
field goal was scooped up by Isaiah Stevens, who raced 75 yards to make it 6-0. That score was followed up by a 43-yard run by quarterback Connor McKee, who extended the team’s lead to 14-0 before W.J. Mouat
cut the lead in half with a touchdown of their own. A field goal in the second half made it 17-7 and a solid goal-line stand by the Ravens midway through the fourth quarter allowed the team to hang on for the victory. Terry Fox will take
