What should Coquitlam ‘stop doing’? By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam city hall plans to take a new “tough love” approach to how — and why — it offers some of its programs and services. Yesterday, during the start of the 2014 budget presentations, city manager Peter Steblin said council and administrators will look at a more disciplined way to spending taxpayers’ dollars. see NEEDS VERSUS WANTS, page A4

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

On most days, the Masagana Filipino store in Port Coquitlam is a place where shoppers can purchase food products and goods from the Philippines. But since Typhoon Haiyan devastated the nation last week, shop owner Roger Almirol said the business has become

erated the store for three years, considers himself one of the lucky ones. His family is from Luzon, a town that was largely missed by last week’s storm. He has a donation box at the Kingsway Avenue store and is encouraging

people to donate as much as they can. Malcolm Travena is another Tri-City resident who has been following the news since the storm hit last week. His wife, Megin Alvarez, is from the Philippines and the two run the aid organization Meaningful Volunteer, which funds education programs there. see POVERTY, page A7

Needs versus wants key issue in Coquitlam budget process continued from front page

Rather than highlighting wants and needs for the upcoming year, Steblin said city managers will be pressed to give reasons why some initiatives are worth doing at all. The “Stop Doing” concept came up last month, raised by corporate planning manager Michelle Hunt, who had read a book called Good to Great. In it, author Jim Collings examined how struggling businesses became successful by reviewing what programs stayed — and what went. “Governments are tremendous at adding things to the work program,” Steblin told city council Tuesday morning. “They’re not so good at identifying what not to do because there’s always some kind of constituent that likes what we’re doing in that area.” Steblin added: “It’s not an easy process for bureaucracies to go through because it’s easier simply to leave it on the list.” Steblin said the city has already taken proactive measures to lessen

COQUITLAM’S BIG PROJECTS

On the horizon for next year in Coquitlam are a number of projects with various price tags, including: • designing and building a covered dry floor facility near Dogwood Pavilion; • starting the Burquitlam/Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan; • partnering withYMCA for a new community centre in Burquitlam; • installing another artificial turf field at Town Centre Park; • co-ordinating city input for the future of Riverview Hospital; • and initiating a tourism program. the tax burden, a topic that comes up regularly as councillors hear about high property tax rates from home and business owners. Steblin pointed to the new garbage/green waste collection contract, which will start July 1, 2014 and will cost 20% less than the current service. Steblin said the city is saving taxpayers’ money by allowing MultiMaterial BC (MMBC), a non-profit group directed by the provincial government, to handle the city’s recycling program. “Not one other municipality had the courage to stop doing the blue box,” he told council.

“Coquitlam is the only one that said, ‘We’re going to stop doing it because the province has enabled us to allow somebody else to do it.’ That’s the best example I would have of the ‘Stop Doing’ list.” Steblin said the “evolution” of the city’s corporate strategy will also likely mean fewer cyclical reviews, a process started several years ago to fine tune department efficiencies. Coun. Mae Reid suggested some other cutbacks, including changing the number of trimester reports from the deputy city manager from four times a year

to twice a year. As well, Reid recommended the city’s customer satisfaction survey by Ipsos Reid — a poll that costs $25,000 — be scaled back to once every two years instead of annually. The process of zeroing in on needs versus wants was discussed in detail on Tuesday. The department managers and cultural groups’ presentations were expected to wrap up this morning (Wednesday). City council will take the wish lists into budget talks this month as it figures out how best to spend an estimated $284 million in revenues from property taxes. Most city managers are asking for additional staff to meet the pres-

sures in the ever-growing city. This morning, Coquitlam RCMP was set to request four extra Mounties for the detachment. Steblin said the city has done well over the past year and pointed to some of its achievements including completing the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan, setting a 10-year sports field strategy and winning the 2016 BC Seniors’ summer games. “This is a community that does take on big issues and keeps its fiscal house in order,” Steblin said. City council is expected to adopt the 2014 financial plan in December.

City doesn’t want to set precedent by waiving fine

Call 604-472-3040

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Port Coquitlam has denied a man’s request to reverse a $6,500 fine he received for having 18 pot plants growing in his backyard garden. Brian Kraynyk, a PoCo resident for 30 years, argued that the fine created a financial hardship and that he has since received a licence from the federal government to grow and possess medicinal marijuana. The municipal rules are aimed at curbing large-scale, indoor grow operations that use chemicals and create electrical hazards, he told The Tri-City News, arguing he should not receive the same punishment for having plants in his garden. “I had it mixed in with my tomatoes,” he said. “This is all organic. I make all my own wine. I grow my own vegetables. I just thought I’d [grow marijuana] myself.” Kraynyk mixes marijuana into a tea that, along with other medication, helps him combat back pain with which he has struggled for decades. He concedes that he was not legally allowed to grow pot when the city’s Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT), which is made up of bylaw officers and fire inspectors, came to his door on July 27, 2012. They ordered him to remove the plants and the tarp enclosure that housed them. According to a staff report, a $2,000 re-inspection fee was waived because it consisted of “looking in the rear yard to confirm the plants and structure had been removed.” But city staff said council should not waive or reduce the $6,500 fine imposed on Kraynyk, a recommendation council voted to adopt. A staff report notes the fee is the average cost of running the PSIT program and should not be based on the size or scale of the grow operations being inspected. It also stated that reversing the fine because a person had received a medicinal marijuana licence after the inspection took place would set a bad precedent. Mayor Greg Moore concurred with the report, saying the city needs to recoup the money it spends to keep

Brian Kraynyk of Port Coquitlam is an avid gardener and among the things he grows — legally now — is marijuana, which helps him with severe back pain. But he’s on the hook for a $6,500 city fine from when he grew pot without a licence. the team funded. “We try and find levies that help us with cost recovery for the city for illegal activities like this,” he said. “We can also show cases where the fine was not enough.” But not all council members agreed with the report. Darrell Penner was the only councillor to

support waiving or reducing the fine, saying the bylaw was not designed to punish people like Kraynyk. He said the case is an exception to the rule because the man’s pot garden operation was located outside and did not involve hazardous chemicals or faulty wiring. “I have never voted

to reduce these types of fees [waivers] before,” he said. “This is what I would consider a bit of an anomaly.” In 2007, Po r t Coquitlam adopted a bylaw that created the Public Safety Inspection Team as a way of combating illegal grow operations in the municipality. Coquitlam has a simi-

lar program, which uses BC Hydro information to target homes with power consumption more than 93 kilowatt-hours per day. Statistics show that since the teams were created, the number of incidents involving grow operations has declined across the Tri-Cities.

The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Port Coquitlam is looking at ways of covering some of its outdoor sports courts in an effort to extend their operating hours and keep them available during the rainy months. The idea is still in the discussion phase but city staff said adding a roof and lights to existing facilities could be an affordable way to meet the growing demand for sports like ball hockey and lacrosse.

MAYOR GREG MOORE “It would permit a facility to be accessible on a more regular basis,” said Nathan Taylor, the

city’s active living and recreation co-ordinator. “Putting a roof on it means it can be used year-round and well into the evening.” The cost is also appealing, he said. Although covering a sports court would cost $1.2 million to $1.3 million, maintenance costs would be low, between $4,000 and $5,000. Taylor said that building a facility from scratch would cost significantly more. Still, covered sports courts could take a few years for the city to im-

plement. PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said while the idea is good, a suitable location has been difficult to determine. The space surrounding the Terry Fox secondary and Rowland lacrosse boxes are too tight and there is the possibility that School District 43 may replace the lacrosse box at Minnekhada middle school. “The idea was well received,” Moore said. “The timing right now... has been the issue.”

B.C. needs NDP to be sharp & ready

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

he ins and outs of the BC NDP’s 2013 provincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter. But there is one good reason to at least acknowledge that the exercise in self-flagellation had to be done, even if you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review released last Friday. The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives and Greens, the New Democrats have the history, the base and the infrastructure so until something better comes along, they are the province’s best chance at keeping the BC Liberals honest. Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and the NDP can lick their wounds all they want. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term (according to a recent Angus Reid poll, she’s the second highest rated premier in the country). She may even have something going for her, having learned some tough lessons from her predecessor, and she’s cleaning house. True, Clark hasn’t been tested much in the legislature but we know what to expect when she finally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything including the Agricultural Land Review, the budget, the throne speech and anything else that’s thrown her way. But one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated. A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal (and you can be excused for thinking the BC Liberals had reached that stage before the May election). When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thickskinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain to be in fighting mode. The NDP review holds out some hope that this will be the case. Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese.Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But if it puts teeth back in the tiger keeping a hungry eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing.

Untangling B.C. and Alberta oil pipeline politics BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA eaction was swift and scattered after the“framework agreement”on new oil pipelines announced last week by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford. First, here’s what it doesn’t mean: “B.C. blinked,”according to one Toronto commentator, based on the popular notion that B.C. gave up its claim to a share of Alberta’s resource royalties from heavy oil. Clark never made such a claim, so it would be difficult to give it up. Her often-repeated condition of a“fair share”of revenues from any new oil pipelines is purposely vague but after repeated protests from Alberta, Clark clarified as far back as last June that provincial royalties are not on the table.There is no constitutional way to make such a demand, a point Redford has made several times.

NDP leader Adrian Dix and the usual chorus of professional protesters claimed that Clark flip-flopped, opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal before the election and then embracing it once she was re-elected. This is also inaccurate. Clark’s five conditions were set out before the May election, demanding approval by a federal environmental review,“world-leading”spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and share benefits with aboriginal communities, and the undefined“fair share”for B.C. Clark said numerous times during the campaign that the conditions have not been met and made pessimistic noises about Northern Gateway but she very carefully did not campaign against it.The BC Liberal platform also endorsed a Kitimat-area oil refinery proposed by David Black (who owns Black Press, which owns The Tri-City News) and Clark repeatedly referred to that sort of industrial expansion as one of the potential“fair share”components for B.C. The BC Liberal government made its opposition to Northern Gateway“as currently

Mixed messages from MPs on vets

Smell ‘n’ tell

The Editor, How can a Conservative member of Parliament advertise “Lest We Forget” in our newspapers and cut veterans’ health benefits, fire staff workers at support centres and lay off veterans just a few months before they qualify for their 10-year pensions at the same time? Seems like they have forgotten already. Kathy Leko, Port Moody

let’s fight GMOs The Editor, The confusion around GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and the misleading information publicized by large agribusinesses is about to become clearer. A group of people from the Tri-Cities and Maple Ridge areas are planning to take petitions to our city councils requesting that a resolution banning GMOs in our communities be passed and that we are declared GE-free zones. We plan to host movie events to share information about GMOs, as well as leaflet and gather signatures for petitions. In S e p t e m b e r, the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) passed a resolution to ban genetically modified organisms, also known as genetically engineered (GE) foods, in all of B.C. The resolution reads: To declare through legislation that the province of B.C. is a GE-free area in respect to all plant and animal species.” This was passed approximately 60/40 by our elected municipal politicians from all of B.C. Now it’s time to ask our municipal governments to put pressure on our provincial government to protect our food, our health and our environment from GE crops, trees and animals. GE alfalfa, apples and salmon are close to being approved in Canada. B.C. produces 30% of the apples grown in Canada, which is about 80% of all B.C. tree fruit production. Corporate control is a real threat to our food security (GE seeds are patented) by biotechnology corporations. The only value of GE crops is profit for corporations. Many countries have banned GMOs and many more have mandatory labelling. Canada and the U.S., although the majority of people have said in many polls that they want it, have neither. I believe it is our re-

sponsibility to learn about genetically engineered crops and to demand our government ban these foods until they have been proven to be safe. In the meantime, please protect your families and send a loud message to food companies by becoming aware of GMOs and refusing to buy any product that contains them. Teresa Lynne, Port Coquitlam

Mounties seek pervert(s) in incidents at/near Centennial By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Two separate incidents of a man exposing himself to Centennial secondary students in the last two months have prompted a warning from local Mounties. As first reported last Thursday at tricitynews. com, Coquitlam RCMP says the first incident occurred on Sept. 10 at around 6 p.m. when two female students saw a man masturbating in an enclosed stairwell at the school. When he realized he had been spotted, he quickly fled the scene. A similar incident occurred three weeks later when a different pair of female students were walking home from school. The two females saw a male with a bicycle standing at the side of Winslow Avenue near Tipton Street with his penis allegedly exposed. The students walked past without interacting with the male and reported the incident to the school the next day.

Charged in carjacking A Tri-City man is facing charges after a truck driver was carjacked at gunpoint last month on Schoolhouse Street in Coquitlam. Police allege the suspect ran onto the road and forced the truck to come to a screeching stop in the early morning hours of Oct. 13. He brandished an imitation handgun and fled in the stolen vehicle after yelling at the driver to get out. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said the suspect is no stranger to police. “[He] is a priority offender and has more than 70 convictions of similar or other crimes in his past,” he said. “His apprehension was a top priority for investigators.” Robert Powshuk of Coquitlam was arrested several days after the incident and has been charged with robbery and using an imitation firearm. “Any offence involving a firearm — imitation or not — is a very serious offence,” Chung said. “Our robbery section investigators worked around the clock on this case.” Powshuk is also facing two counts of possession of stolen property, theft of a vehicle, possession of a controlled substance, and break and enter stemming from other incidents in Coquitlam. He will remain in custody until his next court appearance, which is on Dec. 23. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Police drawings of suspects in a pair of incidents in which men exposed themselves. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said police cannot confirm whether the suspect was the same person in both cases. “There is always the possibility it is the same guy,” he told The Tri-City News. “It could be the same guy but right now we are treating it as two different incidents.” The suspect in the first incident is described as a Caucasian man in his mid to late 20s who is tall with a slim build; he has a light complexion with little facial hair and was wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants

and a ball cap. In the second incident, the suspect was described as a Caucasian man between 20 and 30 years old with blond hair and some facial hair; he is approximately 5’10” tall and was wearing a T-shirt, baggy jeans and a ball cap. In both incidents, the witnesses said they had not seen the suspect prior to the incident. The men showed signs of aggression and made no attempt at physical or verbal contact with the girls. Chung said Thursday that had police informed the public about the in-

cidents earlier, it would have jeopardized the RCMP’s investigation. “Our investigators have worked with the witnesses and School District 43 administrators and staff since the very beginning in both cases,” he said in a press release. “A number of police tactics were used, including covert surveillance, which is why we were not in the position to release this information to the public until now. “If our investigation of either incident had indicated a risk to the school community or the general public we would have worked with the school to release the information immediately.” Anyone with any information about the suspects is asked to call Cpl. Pat Mehain at 604552-7369. Those who wish to provide information anonymously can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or by going online at www.solvecrime.ca.

PoMo OCP on display at meeting Open house will be held on Nov. 27 at Inlet Theatre By Dan Ebenal The TrI-CITy News

Port Moody residents can catch a glimpse of what the future holds for the community at a town hall meeting later this month. The draft official community plan will be put before the community at the meeting set for Nov. 27 in the Inlet Theatre. “We’ve been talking about it an awful lot at council but not an awful lot with the residents,”

said Port Moody Mayor M i k e Clay. “I’ve b e e n eagerly wanting CLAY to get this document in front of the people so we can get their feedback on what they think about the plan.” The mayor said he will leave it to the residents to identify the big issues with the OCP but he has some concerns of his own. “I think we’ve got too little density at the Moody Centre SkyTrain

station and I think we have too much density at the western end of town,” Clay said. “That’s what I heard from a lot of people but we’ll let the public tell us what they think about it.” One of the major changes coming to the community is the Evergreen Line, which scheduled to bring rapid transit to Moody Centre by 2016 — and with it, a surge in population. “When you have a transit line, you need to do the density to support that and accept that’s sort of the role around the transit, that that’s where people are going

to live,” said Clay. “For me, I’m looking to see concentrating the density around the line where people can live a car-free lifestyle if they want to.” The OCP projects steady growth for the next couple three decades, with Port Moody’s population going from 34,509 in 2011 to an estimated 42,660 in 2021 and 59,000 by 2041. The expected swell in population has brought with it concerns from at least one group. The Moody Centre Community Association has suggested the only area that could accommodate that type of de-

velopment would be a two-square-kilometre area between the ocean and Chines forest — and it says that area has been identified as a high risk of soil liquefaction in the event of an earthquake. “If you look hard enough, everybody’s at risk of something,” said Clay. “Port Moody is 5 km by 5 km, so if you take 2 km out of the middle of it, you don’t have much city left.” debenal@tricitynews.com

City adds electric cars to fleet A pair of new electric vehicles is expected to deliver a boost to the city of Port Moody’s bottom line. Two all-electric vehicles will join the city’s fleet, replacing a 10-year-old bylaw truck and recreation services vehicle. “The full plug-in vehicles offer a number of potential savings and environmental benefits compared to

conventional gasolinepowered vehicles,” said Mayor Mike Clay. The full vehicles can travel a kilometre on about a penny’s worth of electricity, less than 20% of the cost of the most fuel-efficient gasoline vehicles, and fewer mechanical components should bring reduced maintenance and servicing costs, according to a city press release.

“The budget case is very clear,” said Clay, adding the city budgets about $7,500 a year in total costs for each vehicle in its fleet and noting, “We expect overall savings of $2,500 per year per vehicle.” The city will be tracking the savings at www.cityofportmoody. ca/electrictrucks. Port Moody currently has four electric

vehicle charging stations located at Rocky Point Park, the recreation complex, Kyle Centre and the city works yard. Funded through the province’s Community Charging Infrastructure Fund, the stations provide drivers with options away from home. There are two additional wallmounted stations in the underground parking lot at city hall.

Weekend work means no Barnet closure necessary By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The quick completion of Evergreen Line work over the long weekend means that crews will not have to shut down a section of the Barnet Highway again this weekend. Between Friday night and Tuesday morning, crews worked to push a concrete structure into position under the Ioco Bridge. That structure will eventually contain a portion of a station platform and guideway.

tri-city newS file photo

Work is ramping up on the Evergreen Line in Port Moody and Coquitlam. Had the work not been completed over the Remembrance Day weekend, a second closure of the Barnet Highway between Dewdney Trunk and Ioco

Road would have been necessary. Still, temporary lane closures will continue on North Road between Clarke Road and Smith Avenue starting this week

and continuing for 14 days as crews work to relocate utilities along North Road. The work will take place Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and motorists are advised to use caution when traveling through the area. Tree and brush removal is also taking place on the east side of the Coquitlam Centre mall parking lot next Pinetree Way, where an Evergreen Line station will be located; the work began Monday and will continue intermittently for the next three weeks.

Tunnel digger making its way to the Tri-Cities A massive machine that will bore a tunnel for the Evergreen Line is on its way to the TriCities. The machine is part of a 1,100-tonne package of equipment coming to the region by rail from the manufacturer in Ontario. A tunnel is needed for a 2 km stretch that will run west of Barnet Highway in Port Moody to the south of Kemsley Avenue in Coquitlam. According to the B . C . M i n i s t ry o f

Tra n s p o r t at i o n , a bored tunnel means there will be no disruption to the surface area above except at the tunnel entry and exit points. The equipment will be shipped in pieces from Ontario and assembled at a launch site on the west side of Barnet Highway in Port Moody. Assembly will take a couple of months and tunnel construction is expected to begin in February 2014. The boring machine

is 85 m long and 10 m in diameter, and the cutter head alone weighs 130 tonnes. The Evergreen Line is expected to be completed in 2016. “ Tr a n s L i n k i s very excited to see construction of the Evergreen Line progressing,” TransLink chief executive officer Ian Jarvis said in a press release. “Transit use in Metro Vancouver continues to surpass yearly records.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Company must address public’s pipeline concerns, says mayor By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

The expansion of the Kinder Morgan tank facility in Burnaby and twinning of its oil pipeline through B.C. could be an opportunity to enhance the ecosystem in Burrard Inlet and improve habitat for herring and squid as well as utilize best practices for oil containment in the event of a spill, according to Ralph Drew. But the Belcarra mayor says the company isn’t doing enough to address local concerns about its proposal to boost the capacity of its oil pipeline and enlarge its facility to hold more tankers. “The time to address issues is when you are putting shape to the application,” Drew said. “That is why I’ve been focusing on the dialogue and that’s why I’ve been trying to put shape to things. A lot of the debate has been focused on the pipeline — nobody’s talking about that terminal on Burrard Inlet. I’m trying to speak up on Burrard Inlet.” On Thursday, Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee is expected to consider Drew’s concerns with the idea of asking the National Energy Board to put them on its list of issues to review when it examines Kinder Morgan’s formal application. (Also on Thursday, Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson is expected to address the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce on the local economic benefits of the project.) According to Drew, Kinder Morgan hasn’t been forthcoming about what it learned from a spill on land in 2007, when construction workers pierced a pipeline, releasing more than 250,000 litres of crude oil into a Burnaby neighbourhood, some of it flowing into Burrard Inlet. Among the questions raised, he said, are the appropriateness of the containment booms the company used and why it took so long for the spill response team to arrive on the scene. On the day of the spill, he pointed out, researcher Rod MacVicar was at the scene because of concerns the oil might endanger a sea lion research project and arrived before the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation, and photos he took showed gaps in the boom and oil containment. Kinder Morgan refutes those claims and states that while some

Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew says Kinder Morgan needs to do more to address public concerns about its plans to increase its oil pipeline capacity. oil eluded capture early because of the shoreline conditions, aerial photographs show it was mostly contained. As well, the company stated in letters to Drew that it has since participated in several reviews of the spill and has improved its emergency response, even establishing a pipeline protection department. “In regards to the 2007 spill, Trans Mountain spent a significant

amount of resources towards ensuring successful cleanup, environmental remediation and community restoration,” the company stated in an email to The Tri-City News. “In 2010, the B.C. Ministry of Environment issued certificates of compliance indicating satisfactory cleanup. All environmental issues have been addressed and long-term monitoring continues.” The company will also

look at the impacts of the project on the marine environment, as part of its due diligence for the project, and will come up with a detailed mitigation plan. But Drew said that’s not enough and is calling for the company to do some legacy projects to improve the marine environment for wildlife. “It comes down to this, from Belcarra’s perspective, they’ve got to do it right and they’ve got to

walk the talk and we, as a community surrounding Burrard Inlet, need to ensure the best available technologies are utilized.” Ship noise and lights, are among his other concerns. Kinder Morgan is expected to formally seek permission to increase its oil pipeline capacity from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels a day, expand its tank farm and enlarge its tanker loading facilities in a $5.4-million project that would, if approved, begin operation in 2017. More information about the project is available at www.transmountain.com/proposed-expansion.

Remembering Riverview’s dead Forgotten resting place site of a tribute this Sunday By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NewS

t the north end o f R i ve r v i ew Hospital — behind a hedge along Lougheed Highway, where thousands of motorists pass every day — there is a pristine, peaceful site that sits empty. Or so it seems. The manicured 3.6acre lawn is bordered by a fence with homes on two sides and, to the south, there is a row of old oak trees along Orchid Drive. A paved road leads to a centre circle that, at this time of the year, boasts a very red maple tree and other plants. There are no signs anywhere but, if you take a stroll on the south side, there are stone markers below your feet. The headstones are not noticeable at first as they are flush to the ground and simple — bearing only the deceased’s name and the day they died. Only a few have words of sentiment — “Free At Last,” for example — or show any inscriptions about the 1,085 bodies underneath. Riverview records of the graveyard offer little insight, too. They indicate only the dead’s given and last names, their dates of death and burial, and their locations in the letter block portion of the site and their numbered plot. Pa t i e n t s a t t h e 101-year-old mental health institution, which the provincial government closed last year, were laid to rest there starting in January 1958, the records report. It is believed the last internment happened on April 4, 2012, for the cremated remains of Jane Doe, whose skeleton had been used at the hospital for medical instruction and other purposes. Still, another 200

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

David Spence will lead a memorial at Coquitlam’s Riverview Cemetery on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. in an effort to remind the community that more than 1,000 patients are buried on the grounds. The cremated remains of Jane Doe — a skeleton used at Riverview for medical instruction — were interred on April 4, 2012, in plot 193.

THE SERVICE

The memorial service at Riverview Hospital Cemetery, off Orchid Drive, will take place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17. Riverview patients lie at the Coquitlam city cemetery on Robinson Street and countless others are buried in New Westminster, where they were placed in a graveyard shared by the Provincial Hospital for the Insane (later called Woodlands). David Spence, a Port Moody resident and

retired reverend who once served as a community support for the Riverview chaplaincy p ro g ra m , s a i d n o t much is known about Riverview Cemetery. Through his research, Spence has learned not all 1,085 bodies are Riverview patients: Some had relatives buried alongside while oth-

ers are hospital staff, he said. “Their souls are here and I think it’s time for us to honour them,” he said. This weekend, Spence will lead a multi-faith service to remember the people who died at the institution. The tribute Sunday will include prayers, song, readings

and scattering of flower petals. Leaders from the Jewish, Sikh, Muslim and First Nations’ communities have been invited to take part. “I want people to leave with a sense of reverence and respect for the history that we have in Coquitlam, and with a greater appreciation for the hospital and ceme-

tery that is here,” Spence said, adding, “Not many people know about his sacred place and that’s too bad.” Spence said he decided to hold the memorial service as BC Housing prepares an extensive consultation process about the future of the Riverview lands. This year, the agency was

tasked by the provincial government to find out if there is a way to renew the 244 acres — with a goal to “break even” on any possible redevelopment. Riverview contains about 80 buildings, some of which have a heritage value; as well, there is a renowned arboretum. Spence said the religious and spiritual aspect of Riverview — once a self-sufficient facility he said was set up for Christian purposes to treat the mentally ill — needs to be addressed before the “estate” returns for public discussion. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Children & discipline to be discussed at parent evening Nov. 20 Children always test boundaries and it’s up to parents to deal with the situations as they arise. But what is the best way to discipline and what does the word mean? Those questions and

more will be answered on Nov. 20 when Port Coquitlam’s Southside Family of Schools hosts its first presentation of the school year at Riverside secondary. Christopher Bert, a

parenting and family development specialist, will provide an in-depth look at how discipline affects children’s behavioural choices. The discussion will range from theoretical concepts of power

and control to practical examples of choosing effective consequences for common issues and behavioural challenges. The seminar will be held at Riverside school from 6:45 to 8:30 p.m. The

cost is $5 per couple or $3 per individual. Free child minding is available. Advance registration is required. To register, email ssfspe@gmail.com by Nov. 13 and include the following information

in your email: number of people attending, telephone number and number and age of children requiring child-minding. Payments will be taken at check-in at the seminar. Participants are urged to

arrive early as line-ups can be long. Cheques can be made payable to Southside Family of Schools Parent Education. Walk-in registrations will be accepted only if there is space available.

Books can help us remember A GOOD READ Susan Clark Fiction, non-fiction tell Canada’s war stories

ovember always means remembrance to me. My family members were not able to talk about their wartime experiences but the authors below take readers right into the conflict of war and lead us to a better understanding of what soldiers and regular civilians went through during the two world wars. Two Generals by Scott Chantler is the illustrated story of the friendship between two officers and the battles they fought with the Highland Light Infantry of Canada. The book is based on the diary of Law Chantler, Jack Chrysler’s 1944 letters from France to his wife and the War Diary of the Highland Light Infantry of Canada. This is a creative tribute to those who fought for our freedom and a book that can be shared as we remember. The Sojourn by Alan Cumyn is the moving story of a young Canadian soldier’s journey through duty,

fear and love. Ramsay Crome, a private with the 7th Canadian Pioneers, has volunteered against his father’s wishes. Ramsay is assaulted and granted a 10-day leave to London, where he meets his cousin Margaret, an objector of the war and a woman who affects Ramsay’s fate. Their meeting forces him to defend his honour and confront his self doubts and terror about the war. Ramsay is conflicted as he determines that war is an abomination even though he must return to the front. Generals Die in Bed by CharlesYale Harrison was written and published in 1930. It is impossible for us to imagine what life must have been like in the trenches. Written in a straightforward and simple way,

this Canadian classic, based on the author’s experiences, describes the life of a Canadian soldier in the trenches of the First World War. Harrison depicts war in all its brutality, without nobility, love or friendship. If you want to know what war was really like from a soldier’s point of view, this makes a strong impression. Broken Ground by Jack Hodgins takes place on Vancouver Island in a fictional town of homesteading World War One veterans. The difficulties facing families trying to make a life in a treestumped landscape is compounded by a forest fire that ravages most of their land and reinforces the memories of war that some members cannot leave behind. The story is told by several of the townspeople and their different perspectives blend to develop a feel for the community in which they live. Three Day Road is the first novel by Joseph Boyden and is based on his family’s stories of Joseph’s maternal grandfather as well as an uncle. This is the story of two young Cree men who volunteer for service in WWI — only one of whom returns. The story begins with

Niska, a Cree medicine woman who lives in the bush, and the journey she takes with her injured, morphine-addicted nephew Xavier, who is home after the war. As he travels downriver with his aunt, the horrors of trench warfare are told through flashbacks. This Canadian story led me to understand something about our Canadian aboriginal WWI heroes. Step into Warsaw of the 1930s if you are interested in reading an espionage thriller full of mystery as well as history. The Spies of Warsaw by Alan Furst takes place in the years leading up to the Second World War and is a novel of espionage about the politics of the time. This story is about the spies involved with the French and German intelligence operations, complete with historical detail, abduction, betrayal and intrigue. The Second World War is an ambitious book written by historian Antony Beevor. This single-volume history provides an intimate account of the war, covering Hitler’s invasion of Poland on Sept. 1, 1939 to Aug. 15, 1945. Beevor manages to bring these events to life by provid-

ing a comprehensive military history of WWII that combines high strategy and politics but also takes full account of the war’s human dimensions. There are many more books that give us insight and help us learn more about all those who served Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace. Drop by your local library for more suggestions. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Susan Clark works at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

Coats campaign kicks off Nov. 18 The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) — in partnership with The Tri-City News’ parent company, Black Press — has launched its 18th annual Coats for Kids campaign in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, a group whose outreach helps to provide a brighter Christmas for families in need. In addition to the GVHBA office, 33 member companies at 46 locations in 13 municipalities, including Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, will serve as coat drop-off sites from Nov. 18 to Dec. 6. The TriCity News’ office in Port

Coquitlam will also be a drop-off location. Members can also watch for“Coats for Kids” decals on members’ vehicles and offices. “Last year, the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for distribution to children, teenagers and adults,”said GVHBA chair Lynn Harrison. “I am delighted so many members of our association are participating in this annual initiative,” said Harrison. “It is so important to help families in our communi-

ties who are in need, especially during this time of the year.” Coats can be dropped off at the following locations in the Tri-Cities starting next Monday:

Rotary Clubs of the Tri-Cities Rotary Removes Invasive Plant Species

On Saturday, Oct. 5th Port Moody Ecological Society volunteers and Rotarians were joined by local youth to remove invasive plants from Port Moody’s Shoreline Park. The young people are members of the local Rotaract club and kids who have participated in one of Rotary’s many programs such as Rotary Kid’s Camp and Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. Invasive plants are not native to our region; they grow rapidly and spread quickly and widely. Not only do they outcompete and displace native plants they also affect the wildlife that depend on them. The team of 50 people ripped out English Ivy and 45 walnut trees/saplings to a total of 82 cubic meters of plants. Now the light can reach the forest floor and the native species will have a chance. This event was the kick-off to the Port Moody Ecological Society’s RIPS program. They will lend tools and show groups how to remove invasive plant species. To find out more visit www.nnonscreek.org. This event was a team effort by: The Toronto Dominion Bank Environmental Fund grant that paid for the tools and bar-b-q, the City of Port Moody who identified the areas and disposed of the plants, Rotary Club of Port Moody who provided labour and Port Moody Ecological Society’s facilities, expertise and dedication to ecological work. Many thanks for everyone’s help, Pasta Pollo for it’s support and Mayor Mike Clay! Photos Courtesy of Port Moody Ecological Society

With Your Help We Can Send 100 Kids to Camp The Rotary Clubs of Port Moody, Coquitlam, & Port Coquitlam Centennial are kicking off a campaign to send 100 kids to camp in the summer of 2014. Our goal is to raise $50,000.00 to send 100 kids to Camp Jubilee for a week long overnight camping adventure. We send children in Grade 5, kids who would not normally have the opportunity to go to camp to enjoy the many many activities.

Shutterbugs show their work at Photomotion 2013

This past summer, Keith RiceJones got a big wake-up call for his health. The retired Coquitlam school district art teacher was ordered to undergo a quadruple bypass and, as a result, he didn’t know if would be able to finish his retrospective in time for the Evergreen Cultural Centre. Luckily for TriCity audiences, Rice-Jones has recovered well from the heart surgery a n d , t o m o r row (Thursday), he will be launching his Working The Edge: A (Mostly) Ceramic Journey exhibit. “It was a bit of a shock, to say the least, when I got the news but everything has turned out okay,” Rice-Jones told The Tri-City News last week. Still, “everyone is telling me to take it easy and to slow down, which is difficult to do, too.” Rice-Jones’ survey of 37 years of ceramics will include about 100 sculptures — measuring from three inches square to six-feet tall (and weighing 150 pounds) — plus a sketchbook of his drawings. The work will demonstrate his influences from the mid-1970s, including German Bauhaus and modernist styles. It will be shown in the Evergreen gallery by themes rather than chronologically, he said. A teacher at Port Moody secondary school for 12 years, Rice-Jones hopes the exhibit will draw interest, including from his PMSS alumni. Besides the opening reception on Sunday at 4 p.m., in which he see RICe, page A27

Author pens wartime love story A Nightingale Sang is released the same week as Remembrance Day By Janis Warren

The TRi-CiTy NeWs

he working title for Coquitlam author David E. Burnell’s book was Shades of Blue. But the name was changed by his New Westminster publisher, Vivalogue, as he said it reminded them too much of that other — and much naughtier — fictional piece, Fifty Shades of Grey. It turned out the official title, A Nightingale Sang, was “actually more suitable in the end because it’s all about the song,” said Burnell, in reference to the tune his leading lady sings when she meets David Marshal. The couple have their first encounter in a pub near Cambridge, in 1944. He is a flight lieutenant from Powell River, B.C.; she is a doctor’s daughter due to be engaged to a wealthy pilot in Marshal’s training squadron. But while their romance is the driver of the narrative, Burnell also includes

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam author David E. Burnell with his latest book, A Nightingale Sang. some real scenes from the Second World War in England. He spent a lot of time on his historical research and even got Coquitlam resident Maureen V. Patz — aka Spitfire

Mo, a Canadian representative of the Spitfire Society — to review his manuscript for accuracy. Burnell never served himself. He was five when he and his widowed aunt and her baby were evacuated from their south London home during the Blitz. His mother was ordered to have her baby in Blackpool, where it was safe from flying bombs, and the two later joined Burnell and the family in Cardiff, Wales. One of Burnell’s earliest memories of the war was watching the planes fly over with his father, an army driver. A Nightingale Sang follows Burnell’s 18-story anthology, Dad’s Christmas Stories. He has also released Coven of the Unholy and The Elevator. His next book will return to a wartime theme. On Moonlight Shadow will tell the tale of a 1941 Canadian pilot downed in France. The Second World War is a source of fascination for Burnell. “I enjoy reading about it and I enjoy writing about it,” he said. “I guess it’s because I lived through it that it will always be with me.” A Nightingale Sang will be launched

Saturday, Nov. 16 by The Arts Council of New Westminster.

Actor Myers learns to chill out Centre francophone d By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Lucas Myers’ stage play may hit all the right superficial notes for both genders in his audience. But, if truth be told, DECK (or How I Instigated Then Overcame an Existential Crisis Through Home Improvement) is more than just a display of partial nudity and power tools. In fact, the comedy digs deep into the well of the human psyche. “It’s for anyone who has experienced not just a home-building project but also had psychological difficulties and managed to overcome them,” the playwright/actor said. “It’s about how we

deal with things in our lives.” Myers penned the piece about five years ago after he and his wife bought a fixer-upper in their hometown of Nelson, B.C. Being summer, Myers decided to tackle the deck first. His father-in-law, a building inspector, came along for the ride. The project became a life lesson as Myers not only had to build the patio before the season was over but also had to withstand the berating from his wife’s dad. Myers, a perfectionist, learned not to dwell in the details. Around the same time, Myers said, he read an article in the national

newspaper theww Globe and Mail about urban professionals leaving for the country to take on a simpler, live-off-the-land lifestyle. Myers balked. Then wrote DECK. In it, Myers portrays seven characters including Cliv, the uptight homeowner, and Corey, the free-spirited, permanent bachelor carpenter. Needless to say, the two butt heads but also come to accept — and appreciate — each others’ qualities. A National Theatre School alumnus, Myers will be on the coast with his other comedy, Hello Baby!, at the Surrey Arts Centre on Friday and Saturday before hauling DECK to Coquitlam

from Nov. 19 to 23. He will conduct a preshow chat on Nov. 19 at 7:15 p.m. and a talkback after the Nov. 21 performance. As well, all wood (supplied by PoCo Building Supplies) will be raffled off on Nov. 25 (raffle tickets will be sold during the six performances). • DECK will run Nov. 19 to 23 at 8 p.m. (with a Nov. 23 matinee) at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam).

Children’s entertainer Fred Penner will play two shows in Coquitlam on Sunday.

Connection is key to Penner’s performance By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Canadian children’s entertainer and Juno award-winner Fred Penner will be in Coquitlam on Sunday for two shows: an afternoon family concert with Paul O’Neill and an evening all-ages performance with Emilie Mover, this year’s Juno winner for Children’s Album of theYear. Last Friday, the Winnipeg fatherof-four spoke with The Tri-City News from Toronto about what makes a good show. Here’s an except: Tri-City News: How do you make each concert fresh? Fred Penner: It really comes from the audience. The combination of people who are at a performance is always new. You’ll never get exactly the same mix, or at the same time of day, or the same energy. So you are working with a brand-new palette every time. The audience will always expect certain things and certain songs, of which I never tire. The cat will always come back. That’s the joy of live theatre: You are bringing something immediate to the stage. TCN: How do you do that for children? Penner: It has always been a much broader spectrum. It’s the parents who bring the kids, or the grandparents. My performances are dialogues. I ask questions that can be easily be answered by an adult or a child. Often, I’ll do something like identifying who we are and where we are — “What planet do we live on? What continent? What country? What is your name?” — we go through a breakdown like that so it’s not just children’s questions but it gives the entire audience a bit of a sense of identity.

TCN: So there is a shared experience. Penner: I think in this day and age when technology has taken over so much of our entertainment value that getting together to come to a live performance is becoming more unique than it used to be. In the 1980s, we would go into a community and do three, four, five shows in a couple of days in 2,000-seat theatres. Everybody was really excited about coming to that. But the whole thing just sort of changed perspective; technology didn’t do us any good service on that. Now, it seems to be coming back. People really want to be in an atmosphere with performers who enjoy being there and are engaging you in a dialogue. TCN: Do you tailor each show to the community? Penner: Occasionally, I’ll make reference to local things. It brings a little moment of awareness of where I am. It’s a recognition of this part of the world. And sometimes I’ll write songs specifically for an area or an event.... It’s always about making about connection. TCN: What is your ideal crowd? Penner: There’s no location that’s ideal because, as the phrase goes, “You’re always as good as your last gig.” There’s no comparison to anything: Every show has its own energy, its own spirit, its own connectivity. And from an age point of view, I can be in an audience of seniors and be as vibrant and as connected as with a school of 1,000 children. • Tickets to Fred Penner’s shows on Sunday, Nov. 17 at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) are available by calling the box office at 604-927-6555 or visiting evergreenculturalcentre.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Young and adult dancers are invited to audition this month at an open casting call in Coquitlam. Motus O Dance Theatre is asking dancers aged seven and up to try out for a part in the Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol, a p r e s e n t at i o n that will run at the Evergreen Cultural Centre from Dec. 10 to 14; possible school matinees are scheduled for Dec. 11 and 12. The company is also looking for a boy, aged at least six years old, to be cast as Tiny Tim. Prepared audition pieces are n o t n e c e s s a ry ; however, organizers ask dancers to wear comfortable clothing and bring tap shoes, if needed. Auditions will be held on Sunday, Nov. 24 from 1 to 6 p.m. at Evergreen (1205 Pinetree Way). To register, call the box office at 604-927-6552. Successful candidates will be required to take part in rehearsals on Nov. 25 and 26 from 5 to 8 p.m. and Dec. 10 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. Based in Ontario, Motus O has performed around the world and created 13 full-length productions — including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Little Prince and Alice, an adaptation of Alice in Wonderland — since its formation in 1990. Tickets for A Christmas Carol are $39/$30/$15 through Evergreen at 604-927-6555 or online at evergreenculturalcentre.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Centaurs find playoff form in rematch By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

The Centennial Centaurs walked into N ew We s t m i n s t e r ’ s Mercer Stadium seeking to avenge a season-opening loss. They headed home Friday night celebrating a win that extends their playoff hopes. The Centaurs downed the New Westminster Hyacks 26-23 in the opening round of B.C. high school football playoffs. Centennial signalcaller Nick Okamoto powered the offence, scoring on three oneyard runs and connecting with Jay Jay Jackson for a 65-yard strike through the air. “It came down to which team would get the special team breaks and the big plays,” said Centennial head coach Simon Quinto. “Jay Jay Jackson scored a huge TD for us before the second half and J.P. Kalambay got us some crucial first downs on a couple of third and longs.” Kalambay finished with 95 yards on 24 carries as well as a 24-yard reception. Okamoto connected on 7-of-10 passes for 126 yards while picking up another 41 yards on the ground. Special teams also came up big for the Centaurs, recover-

ing a fumbled punt on the one-yard line. Quinto also credits the play of the Centennial defence which held the Hyacks to 196 yards on the ground and only 83 yards passing. “The defence was on fire,” said Quinto. “They have come along nicely and forced the Hyacks to pass the ball more often. Linebacker Jay Broderick made some crucial tackles while defensive end Saeed Hosian Ali was all over the field.” Hosain Ali racked up seven tackles, eight assists and was credited with half a sack while Broderick notched seven tackles and five assists. The Centaurs will now take on the No. 2-ranked Terry Fox Ravens Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Percy Perry Stadium. In other AAA high school football playoff action W.J. Mouat downed Notre Dame 49-23, St. Thomas More toppled Belmont 43-21 and Vancouver College outlasted Mt. Boucherie 34-21. W.J. Mouat will now meet Handsworth while Lord Tweedsmuir t a c k l e s Va n c o u v e r College and the topranked Mt. Douglas Rams meet up with St. Thomas More. sports@tricitynews.com

riverside, Centennial capture zone volleyball titles By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

The Riverside Rapids held off Coquitlam’s Pinetree to win the senior girls zone volleyball championship. Pinetree took the Port Coquitlam squad to five games in the zone final 25-12, 19-25, 25-21, 1525, 15-13. “The Coquitlam District final was an

unbelievable match between two top-10 teams in the province. Pinetree is playing extraordinary volleyball right now and pushed us hard right to the very end,” said Riverside coach Bryan Gee. The Rapids Christine Anderson had an outstanding tournament, scoring the final three points in the fifth set. H e r i t a g e Wo o d s

swept Terry Fox 25-22, 25-21, 25-23 to claim the bronze. Those four teams will be joined by Port Moody, Gleneagle and Maple Ridge in advancing to the Fraser Valley championships in Langley. “The girls are learning how to stay composed in difficult situations and how to stay p o s i t i ve a n d wo r k

through the challenging situations,” said Gee. “This was a great test for us, however, things get harder now as the Fraser Valley is loaded with talent this year. It may be the strongest year I have ever seen. Our girls have trained hard and are ready to give their best this week” On the boys’ side, Centennial knocked off Charles Best 26-24, 25-

19, 26-24 to secure first place. “We had a couple of pretty tight matches,” said Centennial coach Greg Russell of the contests against Charles Best and Maple Ridge. He said a number of players playing club ball has been a key to the team’s success. “That’s pretty important, if you can get three, four, five players play-

For further information on the Club:

ing club you’re probably going to be one of the better teams in the province,” said Russell. “We’ve been working at things pretty consistently so some of the non-club players have come a long way as well.” Maple Ridge outlasted Riverside 25-23, 18-25, 25-20, 32-30 in the bronze medal game. All four teams will advance

to the Fraser Valley championships. “The teams are going to be a lot better so they’re going to have to play a lot more consistently,” Russell said of the Valleys which start on Thursday. “If we win our first match then we are playing the No. 2 seed Earl Marriott so that’s not going to be easy.” sports@tricitynews.com

Firefighters hit the ice for charity By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

Fire and ice may not always be a good mix but this month the combination will produce much-needed funding for charity. The Port Coquitlam Fire Department will host its third annual Movember hockey tournament as part of the Great Canadian Fire Department Challenge to raise money for prostate cancer and men’s health. “There are a lot of us who play hockey and there are other tournaments around for different causes but nothing in this later part of the year so we thought it was good timing wise to set up a tournament,” said firefighter Ryan Masi, one of the organizers for the Nov. 15 event. The tournament has quickly gained popularity with other fire departments with teams this year coming from as far away as Kelowna and Nanaimo to compete for bragging rights. “The first year we had 12 teams and we did kind of struggle to get those spots filled. The second year it was just a matter of sending an email and boom those spots were filled,” said Masi. “I wish we could get more ice time because there’s more teams that want to come but we just don’t have the room for them.” The tournament hits the ice Nov. 15 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Planet Ice in Coquitlam. Fire department members will also be selling raffle tickets for some great prizes throughout the month and will host a barbecue Nov. 16 at Meridian Meats on the

Oxford Connector in Port Coquitlam. L a s t ye a r Po r t Coquitlam raised the fifth most of any department in Canada, bringing in $12,794. “That’s something

we’re pretty proud of,” said Masi, pointing out departments in Vancouver and Toronto have 10 times the membership of the 70 or so firefighters who work out of the two PoCo halls.

The firefighters are inviting Port Coquitlam businesses to join the cause and get involved in the challenge. For more information, visit movember.com. sports@tricitynews.com

Canada west takes bronze Coquitlam’s Jeff Wight netted the winning goal to give Canada West the bronze medal at the 2013 World Junior A Challenge. Canada West defeated Switzerland 5-3 Saturday in the bronze medal game played inYarmouth N.S. Wight had a goal and an assist to pace Canada West. Wight, who plays for the Merritt Centennials in the BCHL, finished the tournament with two goals and two assists in four games. Defenceman Viktor Dombrovskiy, another Coquitlam product who plays with the Langley Rivermen, picked up an assist in the bronzemedal game. The United States stopped Russia 4-1 to earn the gold. Russia got past Canada West in the semifinal 5-2.

The Tri-City Eagles edged a group of high school all-stars 1-0 in field hockey action earlier this month but the biggest goal took place off the pitch. The fifth annual TriCities Field Hockey Game for the Cure at Cunnings Field in Coquitlam raised almost $3,000 for the BC Cancer Foundation. Port Moody Grade 12 student Samantha McIlwrick organized the event for a third straight year, following in the footsteps of her sister Nicola who organized the inaugural event in 2009.

“The Game for the Cure [in the] TriCities has become a great grassroots community event for us,” said McIlwrick. “The high school all-star players really look forward to competing in this game and working together to give back to our game and community.” She said the players and their parents have a lot of fun at the game but raising money for such an important cause is what really makes it so worthwhile. “Cancer has touched so many Canadians that finding the cure would be so amazing,” said

McIlwrick. “We really appreciate the opportunity to help support the BC Cancer Foundation and the great research work that they do.” Spectators were able to get into the action as well, with halftime featuring a pink ball toss for a chance to win prizes including field hockey memorabilia. Port Moody is currently in front in the contest among local high schools to be the top fundraiser, with the final cut off for donations set for Dec. 15. Online donations can be made at http://donate.bccancerfoundation. com/fieldhockey.

Say goodbye to pain. Experience the benefits of

What our patients say... Ankle and Foot “Laser treatment for my foot and ankle injury (ligaments & tendons) was a success after 3 years of trying other treatments which failed.” EA (85) Headache & Neck Pain “Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severe neck pain. I had approximately 18 treatments and no longer suffer neck pain - it is truly a miracle.” Patsy Bernstein (58) Arthritis Both Knees “I have been suffering from knee pain for several years. I tried a number of other treatments to no avail. I am more than pleased with the results of laser light as my pain has reduced significantly.” William Jack (63) Shoulder Pain “I had frozen shoulder that limited my mobility. After 9 treatments of laser therapy my shoulder has gained back almost all mobility. There is no pain or discomfort with the treatments.” J.L. (48) Neck pain for 20 years “I had tried so many other procedures before so I thought I’d give laser light a try as all others had failed. After a few sessions I was surprised from the relief I got. I would highly recommend this procedure as a solution, it really works.” D.D. (69)

Plantar Fasciitis “I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur on my heel. I have been going for 4 weeks now and am almost all the way healed. The treatments are painless.” J.M. (52) Hip Replacement “After having a hip replacement, I have lived with constant pain for 4 years. After having laser treatment, I feel like a new person.” V.W. (84) Knee Pain “...after just 7 sessions, I feel much better. I can now walk and go up and down stairs without pain at the end of the day.” G.L. (48) Severe Back Pain “After a CT scan of my low back, I was diagnosed with: • Lumbar disc bulges L2 L3 L4 L5 • Pars defect with anterolisthesis • Central canal spinal stenosis • Scoliosis My doctor recommended surgery. Fortunately, I was recommended to try Laser Therapy – what a blessing! After 10 treatments, I am able to walk pain free. What a relief!” M.B. (71) Foot Pain Due to Fracture “...my mobility has returned and the pain has gone!” D.B. (55)

Laser Light Therapy Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Neck Pain for 10 Years “After just 6 treatments the pain was gone and I could turn my neck freely. the difference was so huge, I couldn’t believe it!” M.R. (46) Knee Pain for 30 Years “I feel rejuvenated at 52, cycling regularly and ready to take on more physical challenges. Thanks to this amazing therapy!” Bill (52) Hip Flexor Ligament Torn “I would recommend this to anybody who is tired of wasting time with methods of recovery that don’t work, or you just want to get better faster.” RL (13) Cold Sore “I hadn’t been aware of laser for such an application, but I was delighted to see visible improvement after one treatment, and after the second, it was gone!” C.M. (64) Shoulder & Arm Pain “...the benefit to my shoulder is so surprising that I am continually moving, stretching my arm just to prove to myself that I am not imagining what I am feeling and doing. Moving without pain! That is something to be happy about.” A.B. (58)

Painful Hamstring “With the laser treatment, my hamstrings aren’t tight anymore, I have much more flexibility.” S.B. (29) Inguinal Hernia Post Surgery “I found the treatments alleviated acute pain after a hernia operation. I would recommend the procedure to anyone with pain or scars” GPA (55) Frozen Shoulder Tendonitis “I began a series of treatments on my shoulder and neck which I found to be relaxing and non-invasive. Ultimately I regained, almost completely, mobility in my left shoulder.” A.L. (69) Neck Pain “Even after the first session of cold laser therapy, I felt the difference right away.” M.E. (54) Thigh Pain “I no longer have pain from my hip to the knee. This is such a miracle for me and I highly recommend it. It’s FABULOUS!” C.B. (61) Cold Sore “On the fourth day, I had my 3rd and final 30 minute treatment. The outbreak was finished and my lip felt and looked good as new.” William (52)

HOW IT WORKS

Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. When placed in contact with the skin, this energy safely penetrates the tissue. At an intracellular level, the light is transformed into biochemical energy. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

WHO CAN BENEFIT?

BioFlex Low Intensity Laser Therapy is an effective solution for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions, dermatological problems and the healing of open wounds. BioFlex therapy can safely increase the rate of recovery and help patients reduce the need for pain medication. BioFlex also has the ability to promote rapid recovery post surgery. The beneficial effects of LILT are cumulative over the course of a series of treatments.
