The DRP also wrapped up this year in Burnaby and New Westminster, which are part of the agency’s North Fraser region. The updates in those two cities added $355 million to Burnaby’s $66-billion roll and $111 million to the Royal City’s $13.7-billion roll.

More want photo radar than higher limits: Poll By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Julie Shepherd and husband Jason (not shown) of Port Moody added to an already impressive collection of tattoos Tuesday when the Save-On Foods employees had Christina Christie of PoMo’s Black Rabbit Tattoo Studio ink a B.C. Children’s Hospital logo on them. The new tattoos are the culmination of a fundraising campaign that saw them exceed their $3,000 goal by a thousand dollars. For more, see article and photos on page A9.
A new poll has found more B.C. residents support a return to photo radar than endorse higher speed limits on the province’s highways. The Insights West poll conducted for Black Press found 37% back higher highway speed limits while 55% said they should be kept the same and 5% would
lower them. Meanwhile, 39% support bringing back photo radar to help curb speeding, while 53% were opposed. The camera-equipped roadside vans automatically detected speeders and issued tickets by mail in the 1990s and were eliminated in 2001 by the incoming BC Liberal government. see PUSH FOR, page A8

Hit-and-run witness comes forward, talks to cops No charges yet as investigation into fatal proceeds By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
A witness to last week’s deadly hitand-run accident in
Coquitlam who wrote the suspect vehicle’s licence plate number on the sidewalk with a rock before leaving the scene has come forward. Coquit la m RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung would not reveal details about what the witness has told police but he did say that the person is co-op-
erating fully. “He is proving to be a valuable witness,” Chung said. Last week, Coquitlam RCMP issued a press release calling on anyone who witnessed the collision that took the lives of Juan and Marta Rosales to come forward. Investigators were par-
ticularly keen to locate the person who wrote the licence plate number. The crash occurred on Nov. 27 around 3:30 p.m. when the couple were crossing Austin Avenue at Gatensbury Street. A silver truck that was turning left in the intersection struck the pair, who died of their injuries,
before fleeing the scene. A passing motorist noticed the collision and followed the suspect vehicle. Police located it at a home a short distance away and identified a person associated with the truck. Yesterday, Chung said charges have yet to be laid. The investigation
process takes time, he added, and an examination of the vehicle that was seized has only recently been completed. “There are many specialists and experts involved in an investigation like this,” he said. “Things just don’t happen over the course of a week.”
H e a l s o e n c o u raged any witnesses to come forward and call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550. Those who wish to provide information anonymously can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or going to www. solvecrime.ca. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
The Caterpillar has the light stuff By Janis Warren
Check out light list or send us your info
The Tri-CiTy News
At the south end of Coquitlam’s Lafarge Lake, a magical winter wonderland is delighting visitors of all ages. It’s the third year the city has set up the light display, built by a team under parks manager Phil Hebner and a contracted crew under Ron Unger, who owns an illuminations business in Port Coquitlam. In late October, the two groups started the project by stringing more than 30,000 LED lights around part of the lake trail and, across the street, at Spirit Square and Buchanan Square at city hall. And, as in the past two years, they finished just in time — right before Mayor Richard Stewart and council flicked the switch at the Light the Hall ceremonies on Nov. 23. “We seem to be always cutting it very close to the wire,” joked Unger, who worked on the municipal light project with seven of his staff, custom designing many of the features and setting the controllers. But, he added, “This is one of my favourite displays of the year. It’s a good collaboration and,
As we have in previous years, The Tri-City News is printing a list of large light displays in the Tri-Cities for Christmas. To add your home to The Tri-City News’ list, send your name and address along with details of your display (how many lights, special displays, hours and days of operation and any charities for which you’re collecting) to newsroom@ tricitynews.com. As well, check out this story at tricitynews. com (it will be updated as new addresses come in) for a map of local light displays. The first home off the mark... • 3313 Rae St., Port Coquitlam: More than 100,000 lights plus ground displays synchronized to music plus a decorated 70-foot tree. Lights will be on Sunday to Thursday, 5 to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 5 to 11 p.m.. Contributions to the food bank will be gratefully accepted. The homeowners request that, as a courtesy to their neighbours, visitors don’t block or turn around in driveways. JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Phil Hebner, assets and operations manager with the city of Coquitlam’s parks and facilities’ division, at “the caterpillar” beside Evergreen Cultural Centre. best of all, it’s accessible and free to the public.” Hebner said he doesn’t know how many hundreds of guests wander through the seasonal display at Lafarge every night (he wants to get a radar counter); but on a clear evening, it’s likely more than a thousand,
many of them with cameras in hand. The sparkles at Lafarge begin at the Evergreen Cultural Centre parking lot, with the trees to the north decorated with white and coloured bulbs. The lights extend to a lake viewing fence before hit-
ting the main attraction: the green and pink caterpillar, a rounded frame that sees many children and pets running through it. The light show continues to a white garden complete with seven reindeer, then to a blue star archway that wel-
come guests to a forest scene — or, as Unger calls it, “Hobbit Village,” with Tinkerbell floating above. To the east is a simulated waterfall cascading from a hill and into the lake and, new for this year, a lighted boardwalk. With a corporate
donor or two, more could be done, such as the pier or the trees across from Douglas College, Hebner said. Still, he’s pleased with the results as well as the cost savings to taxpayers. With a bit of resource re-shuffling, the city managed to make this year’s show more efficient than the previous two years; it also uses
“minimal power consumption,”Hebner said. “The comments that city staff have received have been overwhelming positive,” Hebner said. “People are very appreciative and happy with it.” The twin Lafarge Lake and city hall light exhibits are on daily from dusk to midnight until Jan. 13. jwarren@tricitynews.com

there is only one way to sober up. The passage of time is the only thing that flushes alcohol out of the system, Chung said, and drinking coffee, sports drinks or eating greasy food will not accelerate the metabolism process. Kathleen Nadalin, an
ICBC road safety co-ordinator in the Tri-Cities, said it is important people plan their ride home before they go out. “Ask yourself if it’s your turn to be the designated driver,” she said. “Whether you’re attending a holiday get-together or meeting friends

Expand ERH, says survey Public Hearing Notice The Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation got some good news from a recent online poll that showed support for hospital expansion and interest in donating to the foundation in the future. “We’re delighted that Eagle Ridge Hospital ranks so highly in terms of community profile,” said Charlene Giovannetti‐King, the foundation’s executive director, in a press release. “At the same time, there’s also a big opportunity — over half the community — to engage with and raise funds for the hospital.” Two online surveys conducted by Insights West between Sept. 13
tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO
More than half of respondents to a survey say they strongly support expanding Eagle Ridge Hospital to serve the Tri-Cities. and Oct. 14 found a high level of awareness of the hospital (77%) and respondents had a positive view of the Port Moody facility (13% gave it a 9 out of 10 and a further 52% rated it with a 7 or 8). Another 51% of those
responding said they had visited the hospital that year, and 28% saying they received treatment themselves. While only 15% said they had donated to the foundation in the past, 32% said they were interested in donating in the future and 51% said they wanted more information about the foundation. Support for hospital expansion was high, with 56% of survey respondents stating they would “strongly” support construction of a larger facility to serve the TriCities. In all, 631 people participated in the survey, considered a “representa-

MEETING Public Hearing WHEN Tuesday, December 10, 2013 at 7pm WHERE Council Chambers, City Hall, 100 Newport Drive, Port Moody, B.C. Port Moody Council is holding a Public Hearing to consider the following proposed bylaws: 1. Proposed Bylaw: Zoning Bylaw Amendment • City of Port Moody Zoning Bylaw 1988, No. 1890, Amendment Bylaw No. 220, 2013, No. 2972 Applicant: City of Port Moody Legal: East ½ of Lot 24, Block 1, DL 202, Group 1, NWD Plan 55 and Lots 25, 26, and 27, Block 1, DL 202, Group 1, NWD Plan 55 Location: 2318 St. Johns Street (St. Andrews United Church) (see map below) LOCATION MAP - 2318 St. Johns Street
SUBJECT PROPERTY
N
Purpose: To amend the Zoning Bylaw definition of “temporary shelter” to allow for a temporary overnight shelter to operate for up to 62 days, between the months of October and March. 2318 St. Johns Street (St. Andrews United Church) is the only property in the City that allows for a temporary shelter. The current definition of temporary shelter limits operation to 31 consecutive days. 2. Proposed Bylaw: Zoning Bylaw Amendment Bylaw No. 219, 2013, No. 2970 Location: This is a text amendment for clarification and does not involve any specific property. Purpose: To revise the definition of Lot Width and to remove reference to Lot Depth in the Zoning Bylaw. The technical subdivision potential of lots in Port Moody is determined by meeting a minimum Lot Width and Lot Area for each zoning category. The proposed changes are intended to provide clarity for clear and consistent communication to land owners. If you believe your property is affected by these proposed bylaws, you can attend this meeting in person, or send a submission in writing. The City accepts written submissions up to the end of the Public Hearing. If you plan on sending your feedback ahead of time, email it to clerks@portmoody.ca or fax it to 604.469.4550 by 12 noon on Tuesday, December 10, 2013.
Presented by:
Review the proposed bylaws and related information at the Development Services Department, City Hall, 100 Newport Drive, Port Moody, B.C. anytime between 8:30am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

BIG MACHINE IS HERE
GARY McKENNA PHOTO/THE TRI-cITY NEWS
A significant step in the Evergreen Line construction process was made this week with the arrival of the first piece of a boring machine that will dig a 2 km tunnel connecting Port Moody and Coquitlam. When crews assemble the equipment, it will be 85 m long and 10 m in diameter, and will move an average of 8 m a day. Boring work is expected to commence in late February or early March. It will take approximately a year to complete the tunnel. The massive section of equipment that arrived Tuesday is called the cutter head and weighs 130 tonnes; it was transported by rail and truck to PoMo from its Ontario manufacturer.

Just 25% of women who responded to a survey said highway speed limits should be raised in B.C. danger is vehicles that are driving much faster or slower than the prevailing speed on the route. “It’s not speed in and of itself which kills,” he said, “it’s variations in speed.” Improved roads and vehicle safety are among the reasons he cites for potentially higher limits. The review is also ex-
amining issues like the dangers of wildlife collisions, snow tire regulations and slower moving vehicles that don’t keep pace with traffic or clog passing lanes. The government has repeatedly said it has no plans to reintroduce photo radar and Stone said the review won’t consider enforcement changes. jnagel@blackpress.ca

The findings split sharply on gender lines, with women and older drivers much more likely to oppose higher speed limits and support photo radar speed enforcement. Just 25% of women said highway speed limits should be raised (65% said they should stay the same), while 50% of men were in favour of higher limits. Among respondents aged 55 and up, 31% supported higher limits, while twice as many — 62% — said they shouldn’t change. A third of men supported bringing back photo radar, while that jumped to 43% among women and 48% among those 55 and over — more than the 46% in that age group who oppose its return. Insights West vicepresident Mario Canseco said the support for photo radar may be less about bringing back what many considered an unfair cash grab and more a reflection of frustration that other drivers break the law without being punished. He said the results on speed limit reform show significant support for change but added the gender gap was a surprise. “Half of men driving out there say we’re just going too slow, we should be going a little bit faster. But they’re only supported by one in four women.” Canseco said it appears those in favour of higher speed limits have so far been “a little bit louder” in rallying support than those worried about change. But he suggested a measured, careful approach by the government to lift limits on selected routes may win yet majority support. Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Todd Stone kicked off a public review of B.C. rural highway speed limits last Friday with a series of eight regional public forums running to Jan. 24. (For details of the Rural Highway Safety and Speed Review or to register your comment, see engage.gov.bc.ca/safetyandspeedreview.) Stone has indicated the government may be prepared to raise speed limits on some rural highways, which are now mostly posted at 100 km/h, except for the 110 km/h limit on the Coquihalla and parts of the Okanagan Connector. Stone said research has shown the biggest

Christina Christie of Black Rabbit Tattoo Studio in Port Moody inks a B.C. Children’s Hospital logo above the elbow of Jason Shepherd on Tuesday, the culmination of a fundraising drive for Jason and wife Julie Shepherd.
Does it hurt? Actually, this needle helps BC Children’s By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Jason and Julie Shepherd often get asked about their tattoos. What do they mean? Why did you do it? Does it hurt? And the Port Moody couple will have an interesting back story when people inquire about their latest ink. The two Save-On Foods employees raised close to $4,000 for B.C. Children’s Hospital (BCCH) after pledging to tattoo the organization’s logo on their arms. “For us, it is a way of supporting Children’s Hospital forever,” said Jason Shepherd. “When people ask me what my tattoos mean, this is one I can point to.” Save-On Foods has long been a supporter of BCCH and the store the couple works at in LynnValley on the North Shore has encouraged them in their fundraising effort. But for the Shepherds, the organization they chose to support has special significance. Julie Shepherd’s cousin lost a child at BCCH and two of the couple’s close friends have had children
treated at the facility. Feeding off that motivation, the two blasted through their original fundraising goal of $3,000, with many of the customers at their store helping out with donations.They raffled a signed hockey jersey and asked customers to round up their bills for the charity. But the item that got the most attention was the promise of the tattoos. “I don’t think a lot of people believed we’d actually do it,”Julie said. “Now, they are all waiting to see them.” Christina Christie at Black Rabbit Tattoo Studio in Port Moody volunteered a couple hours of her time and on Tuesday the work was done. Julie opted to put her BCCH tattoo on her forearm while Jason, whose body is already significantly covered in ink, found some room above his elbow. While the Shepherds’ fundraising effort has come to an end, they encourage people to go to the B.C. Children’s Hospital website and continue to donate. For more information, go to www. bcchildrens.ca.

■ WHAT WE THINK:
A
s we age, our depth perception changes, our reaction time slows, medication might make us drowsy and our eyes are more sensitive to glare. For all these reasons, we might be more of a risk on the road to ourselves and others. Yet who is willing to give up their car without a fight? The independence it provides is a key factor in many seniors’ quality of life and giving it up, for many, is a death sentence. Currently, medical tests are required every two years for drivers over 80 and if a physician, optometrist or psychiatrist thinks a driver is unfit to drive, they must report it to the superintendent of motor vehicles, who may require further health or driving tests. Still, there may be times when a conversation may be required to test an elderly relative’s resolve to continue to drive. Signs that may prompt this include confusion while driving, anxiety, slow reaction times or damage to a car. An aging driver might not want to have this talk and it won’t be an easy discussion but to protect your loved one, and others, it may be an appropriate one to have.

Why she wears antlers. Every day. No, really AS I SEE IT Nikki Bryce
I
started wearing antlers during the Yuletide season. You know, the kind made from fun fur and wire. I did it simply because I wanted to. Let me clarify: I don’t wear antlers to special occasions, I wear antlers every day, every place I go, solidly, for two weeks before Christmas. If you have been driving alongside someone with a
six-point rack on her head, it may have been me. Whether I am walking in the mall, driving on a highway or shopping for groceries, I wear my rack. If I am out of my house or have visitors, it is on. I also have an eight-point rack but I save that one for special occasions like indoor parties. I’m not crazy. I don’t wear my rack at Easter — that would just be nuts. My six-point rack is my favourite for travel use. It flips nicely to one side for entering a vehicle and is easily popped back up to full flag at destination. If I fly over the holidays, I check my rack through security, as any responsible person would. “Anything to declare?” “Nope, I’m used to flying.” I wear it in the waiting area, on the plane and to pick up my rental car. Comments and sideways glances vary, but my antlers draw many, many smiles. Invariably, I meet people who respond in different ways. I have noticed there are three distinct attitudes people demonstrate when

faced with an adult wearing antlers. The first segment of the population catches a glimpse of me and openly laughs with me in the fun and lightness of this expression. Some people ask where I purchased them and whether they’re good quality, or comment that they don’t look homemade. (Is this a bad thing?) Generally, they are a fun, open and expressive group of people. Some snort,“Nice rack”or“Hi, Rudolph.” Booze permeates the air around some of the rougher statements. One gentleman came up to me, scowl on his face, and said,“That’s not how they go, they should be like this…”and proceeded to adjust my rack. Apparently, he had seen pretend reindeer before and was familiar with how the species developed. When he completed my adornment adjustment, he huffed, turned on his heel and walked away. I am forever grateful. The second segment includes the person who stifles a giggle while in my view and lets it rip after they pass. These are the introverts. They are generally happy people and not comfortable interacting with a pretend reindeer.
Then there is the third segment, the ANGRY people. These creatures of God are upset immediately and almost always give me The Look, sometimes with The Brows. This facial tag-team is devastating. Aside from the non-verbal slander I feel expected to interpret, I am often privy to a slew of comments and barbs the ANGRY person directs at their spouse or children. These poor creatures are judging me and, more importantly, themselves. Everyone has their struggles. Did I mention this is during the Christmas season? Bless us, everyone. What segment do you fall into? Are you going to judge? Or are you going to look at what I wear and consider it a way to awaken people’s enthusiasm for life? To let them forget a trouble if only for a breath of a moment? If you see me this winter, please don’t make me into your hood ornament; rather, indulge in the joy and playfulness that is created in my child-like way. Maybe get yourself a rack and transform your season.

FACE TO FACE: Who are the important people in the Tri-Cities?
Passionate mom and 2 politicians ’T
is the season… to make lists. Every December, newspapers and magazines invariably put out their top (insert category here) lists. The most influential, the sexiest, the best-dressed. Jim and I decided to jump on this bandwagon, so here’s my list of the three most important Tri-City residents: At number three, I choose Carol Todd, the mother of Amanda Todd, who took her own life in October 2012 after suffering from mental health issues and being the target of online sexual extortion and bullying. Bullying — especially cyber-bullying — has become one of the most troubling issues affecting our children today. Over the past year, Carol Todd has become one of the most prominent anti-bullying advocates in the country. She helped launch the Snowflake walk, she has been interviewed by news outlets from coast to coast and, last month, was a guest of the federal government at its announcement of their new cyber-bullying bill. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart is my choice for second most important Tri-City resident. I’ve had my disagreements with Mayor Stewart in the past (see Hotel-gate) but have always found
him to be an effective mayor, a great communicator and an unrelenting advocate for Coquitlam and the TriCities as a whole. I think he’s well-respected throughout Metro Vancouver and is often a go-to person for media who seek commentary about municipal issues. Stewart was also once a BC Liberal MLA and if he still has ambitions beyond city council, I think there’s a seat for him at a provincial cabinet table — and, dare I say, a federal cabinet table? Speaking of federal politics, the Tri-Cities have one of the best federal politicians in the country: James Moore. The local Conservative MP is my pick for the most important TriCity resident. Last week, Maclean’s magazine ranked Moore as its 14th most important Canadian — the highest ranked Conservative cabinet minister on the top 50 list. As industry minister, Moore is a key player in the Stephen Harper government and has a great future ahead of him. At only 37, there are a lot of people out there who believe he’s destined to one day be Conservative party leader and maybe even prime minister. A PM from the Tri-Cities. Now wouldn’t that be great?

ames Moore? Richard Stewart? Important people in the TriCities, undoubtedly. And I suppose I could go with MP Fin Donnelly and MLA Mike Farnworth as my important Tri-City people but surely there’s more to being important than political profile and celebrity. Instead, how about these important local people? • Tom Grant, superintendent of School District 43 (don’t worry, there’s not a public education rant coming). Mr. Grant is in charge of 30,000 students and 3,500 employees in the Tri-Cities’ public schools. He doesn’t teach them, and he spends a lot of time fighting non-classroom battles but almost all Tri-City moms and dads send little Sally or Billy straight from their cereal to his care every day, and he is ultimately responsible for the conditions of their schooling. It doesn’t get more important than that. • Elaine Golds: local ecological advocate and the de facto leader of Tri-City environmentalists (and The Tri-City News’ Green Scene columnist). Besides being a longtime Burrard Thermal plant environmental watchdog, the Port Moody resident was president of the Port Moody Ecological Society that nurtured salmon enhancement
projects and established a wetland at Shoreline Park — just try to harm a red-legged frog with her around. Ms. Golds’ calm but unwavering advocacy coupled with her academic credentials make her causes difficult to oppose. She gives us full-time, local environmental advocacy without pay — altruistic, appreciated and very important. • Ted and Wayne... Ted Bordeleau has been kibitzing and commiserating with patrons of his Burquitlam Plaza barber shop for 45 years. He and Wayne, his fellow shearer for more than 20 years, run a steady patter of conversation with patrons, who return just as much for the conversation as for the coif. Thirty minutes of cheerful talk on any subject. People from 20 to 80 years old, bikers and bankers, wait for haircuts and join the banter, with Ted and Wayne guiding the conversation. Forty heads per day, over two decades — you do the math. It’s a staggering number of low-cost therapy sessions in the chairs of Ted and Wayne, Burquitlam’s barbershop philosophers. Government and politicians are important, and I’m no anti-government type, but important local people aren’t necessarily politicians or celebrities.

‘small-town,’ really? The Editor, Re. “Mixed reactions on OCP” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 29). For the many people attending the Port Moody town hall meeting on Nov. 27, it became evident the official community plan is perhaps the most difficult task our city must undertake. Many speakers pleaded that the “small-town character” of Port Moody, as contained in the city’s own mission statement, should be maintained, but to no avail. This begs the question: What part of “small-town character” does council not understand? Most upsetting is that this draft OCP appears to be a developer-driven plan. At the outset, the plan should have addressed the most fundamental issue: What is the vision of the people? Do we want to grow? And if so, how much growth are we willing to accept? What is the sustainable maximum capacity of Port Moody? Answers to these questions should have been the starting point of this OCP process. While I am not op-

Property tax increase is not ‘good news’ The Editor, Re. “2.8% tax hike on homes” (The Tri-City News, Dec. 4). Again, Coquitlam is reaching into our pockets with yet another yearly tax increase. They are calling it the“good news budget.” When will this stop? Wages and pensions are not going up. Soon, the money will run out. Coquitlam is getting millions from the casino so the first thing council should do is use that for city expenses and not give it all away. Since the casino went in, the greed for money is astronomical and they keep taking more. Every dollar taken from the people results in less money going back into the economy. Everyone will suffer. Peter Baillie, Coquitlam posed to some kind of planned growth, I am opposed to unsustainable growth as advocated in this draft OCP. There is no need or desire to have a Metrotown-type of development anywhere in the city. Council has repeatedly used transit-oriented development principles and Metro Vancouver requirements as justification for densification and
population growth. But population targets are a guideline, not a legislative requirement. This draft OCP needs a major revision. It has raised so many issues that need to be addressed by council. I urge people to attend future meetings and make their voices heard. It should be our vision and our OCP. Reiner Specht, Port Moody

Port Coquitlam students have raised nearly $10,000 to support victims of Typhoon Haiyan through the Red Cross but their teacher would like to see even more cash for the fundraising effort from local citizens. “I’m hoping more businesses get involved,” said Kiren Chand, whose students have been canvassing the city in pink t-shirts, have bagged groceries to raise funds and raised more than $2,000 online for their Toonies for Typhoon campaign. This week, Canadian Tire in PoCo gave the students a boost with a
Coquitlam Mounties will be hosting their inaugural Cram the Cruiser food drive for Share Family and Community Services this month. People are being encouraged to bring nonperishable food donations to help fill a police car at the Superstore parking lot at Westwood Street and Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam on Dec. 14 between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. “Anyone who wants to contribute can pick up one or two extra non-perishable food items while they are grocery shopping,” said Coquitlam RCMP Const. Chris Payette.
Pitt River kids’ toonies add up $500 cheque and Chand would like to see more of the same from other individuals and corporations. So far, $9,297.30 has been raised online and from local businesses and residents, which the federal government will match. The pledge drive is on until Dec. 23. Pledges can still be made online at www. redcross.ca/pittrivermiddleschool and donations over $20 will get a tax receipt. As well, people can phone the school if they wish to make a cash or cheque donation at 604942-0267. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Aerial photos part of review program continued from front page
Zina Weston, North Fraser’s deputy assessor, said the DRP, a program launched in 2009 in Nanaimo, is designed to enable appraisers to have the complete picture of a property — including aerial photos — at the tip of their fingertips rather than go out to the site to assess a property in person. This allowed them to see, for instance, whether there have been improvements that may add to the assessed value of a property. “We’ve always had street-front photos, sketches of the footprint and inventory on the home,” she said. “What we’ve been able to do now, in a co-ordinated fashion, is add in orthophotography and oblique photography.” Weston said assessment authorities have had access to aerial photos in the past but with the DRP, those images are now instantaneously fed to the database along with electronic building plans and permits, administrative boundaries, infrastructure and topography.
Another connect for QNet A new company has connected with the city of Coquitlam to offer ultra-broadband internet, telephone and HD TV services to highrises and businesses in the city. Novus Entertainment is now able to lease the city’s 50 km of unlit fibre optic cables, which are owned and operated by the Coquitlam Optical Network Corp., better known as QNet. The high-speed cables can deliver up to 300 megabytes per second. Novus is the eighth telecom service provider to link with QNet; the others include Uniserve, Allstream, Bell, Telus and Shaw. “It’s great to see some smaller companies in there,” QNet GM Rick Adams said. “It brings in more opportunity and the competition is good for the customer.”
$143k for byelection The cost to fill two Coquitlam council seats this fall is being estimated at $143,000, city staff said this week. The price tag for the Oct. 26 byelection, which saw former Olympic wrestler Chris Wilson and businesswoman Bonita Zarrillo elected, is on par with the previous two byelections held in 2010 and 2007. The total for the 2013 vote included staffing during the campaign and on election day, supplies, ballots, equipment rentals, advertising, shipping, courier services and postage. The byelection to replace councillors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson, who were elected as MLAs in May’s provincial election, drew a 9.23% voter turnout. Wilson earned 3,826 votes (25.99% of votes cast) while Zarrillo collected 2,648 votes (17.99%).

BC Assessment’s integrated IT system is expected to start in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody later next year or in 2015. Weston said the DRP is now a standard operating practice for the Crown corporation, looking at additions and deletions from home improvements. Ongoing reassessments were done — on a smaller scale — in Belcarra last year when
appraisers visited every home in the village. And this year, a quarter of Port Moody homes were also reassessed with many of the DRP tools but not the mapping, Westin said. As well, self-reporting questionnaires were sent to 20% of PoCo homes this year. BC Assessment keeps a database of more than 1.9 million property records.

Oil spill response times should be reduced, says Belcarra mayor By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
How quickly would an oil spill be cleaned up in Burrard Inlet? That issue is the heart of a debate being stirred up by Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew at the same time an expert review panel is recommending changes in the way oil spill plans are developed and carried out. Drew is calling for one-hour spill response standards in the inlet and pre-staged oil booms in sensitive areas off marine parks and conservation areas in Burnaby, Belcarra and North Vancouver. But the agency responsible for oil cleanup along B.C.’s west coast, including the inlet and Port Metro Vancouver, says equipment is already available and response times are well within current standards. “We definitely already have a significant amount of equipment in and around Burrard Inlet,” said Michael Lowry, a spokesperson for the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation. “The problem is, it’s
Submitted photo
Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew wants oil-spill response times improved and believes pre-staged booms could help protect environmentally sensitive areas. not pre-deployed, which is the standard for fastresponse situations,” explained Drew, who has written a letter to Kinder Morgan calling for booms to be oil spillready at three locations in the inlet. Drew wants to see pre-staged booms in Burnaby west of Barnet Marine Park; Indian Arm at Admiralty Point in Belcarra Regional Park; and Maplewood Flats Conservation area in North Vancouver to protect sensitive marine life. The issue arises as Kinder Morgan Canada prepares to file an appli-
cation to twin the Trans Mountain oil pipeline, which would run from Alberta to the Westridge Terminal tanker facility in Burnaby (including about 7 km through Coquitlam), increasing the amount of oil transported to the facility and the number of tankers in the inlet.
NEW REGIME?
Drew says no more than an hour should go by before response teams get to the site of a spill and begin to clean up. But according to Lowry, WCMRC is al-
ready meeting that standard and surpasses response times required by the Shipping Act. He offers two examples of recent spills in the inlet to back his company’s claim that it can respond speedily to an emergency: In 2007, he said, WRMC responded within an hour to the Westridge spill from a punctured pipeline — a statement that Drew disputes — and in April WCMRC responded to a spill at Suncor’s storage facility in Burnaby within 31 minutes when canola oil was spilled. “We don’t set the standards but we do have emergency equipment in the harbour right now and we go above and beyond those numbers,” Lowry said. Standards currently in place require WRMC to get to a spill inside Port Metro Vancouver within six hours, with longer times depending on the size of the spill and how far away it is up the coast. But under the new regime proposed by the
register now for winter!

tanker safety expert panel, WCMRC would be required to come up with its own detailed Geographic Response Plan with specific time standards and resources for the conditions of the local region. In addition, an Area Response Plan would be developed with the Canadian Coast Guard taking the lead. Enforcement would be up to Transport Canada, the panel suggests, although it doesn’t currently have the resources or powers to do so. The report also recommends a national strategy for dealing with oily debris and wildlife after a spill, which the panel says is currently lacking in cohesiveness because there are no strategies for cleaning and rehabilitating animals that do become oiled. “The only requirements that currently exist for Response Organizations are related to scaring way wildlife in an attempt to prevent them from becoming oiled,” the report states. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Bus route changes in Tri-Cities Several routes added linking Coq., PoCo and Burke Moutain TransLink has added a new bus route linking Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam to Burke Mountain and another that improves service between Coquitlam and Port Moody along David Avenue. The changes come with a number of others throughout the region rerouting some buses and discontinuing others. According to TransLink, the changes — which take effect Dec. 16 — are part of a seasonal round of service changes to provide more efficient and reliable service to passengers. (Full details are available at www.translink.ca/servicechanges.) Here’s what’s new: • 188 Port Coquitlam Station/Coquitlam Station: This new service will provide direct connections between Coquitlam and PoCo,
TransLink talks on hold until new year Metro Vancouver mayors are unlikely to meet again with Transportation Minister Todd Stone before January to resume negotiations to solve TransLink’s funding challenges. Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said the group is still waiting for the province to bring back a proposal on reforms to TransLink governance as well as word of what new funding would be acceptable to the province and the plan for a referendum next year on the solution. “They’re aware of the fact time is marching by,”Walton said of the mayors and the province’s vow that a TransLink funding referendum take place by next November. “They’ve been quite clear they don’t want to meet again until there is something quite tangible for us to discuss. My suspicion is it will not be until January.” Walton said he expects to continue talks with Stone by phone in the meantime. extending service to the Burke Mountain area. New service connections will be available to passengers transferring at Coast Meridian and Prairie, David and Pipeline, Pinetree and Guildford, Port Coquitlam Station and Coquitlam Station.
• 178 Coquitlam Station/Port Moody Station: On weekdays, this service will be running in addition to the C28 in the morning and afternoon peak periods. There will be eight new stops along David Avenue, with new section routes on David
between Noon’s Creek Drive and Johnson Street. Meanwhile, the 159 Port Coquitlam Station/ Braid Station has been modified to provide a more reliable service. In other changes: • C28 Coquitlam Station/Port Moody Station will switch to a community shuttle vehicle in the weekday morning and afternoon peak periods. This is possible with the introduction of the new 178 which will reduce crowding on the C28 during these times. • C29 Parkway Boulevard/Coquitlam Station will be rerouted via Johnson Street to improve service reliability by reducing wait times. For service traveling along Pinetree Way to and from Coquitlam Centre and Guildford Way, see routes 188 and C28. • C30 Lafarge Park/ Coquitlam Station will be rerouted via Westwood Street between Glen Drive and
Lincoln Avenue to improve service efficiency and reduce delays. An additional five stops along Westwood will be added to extend a portion of the route. Stops along Pinetree Way are serviced by routes 188 and C28. • C38 Port Coquitlam Station/Prairie/River Springs/Coquitlam Station service will be rerouted via Dewdney Tr u n k R o a d b e tween Westwood and Lougheed to improve service efficiency and reduce delays. Service will no longer route around Coquitlam Centre via Westwood. As well, two routes, have been discontinued. The 179 Johnson/ Coquitlam Station has been dropped due to low ridership. For alternative service, see routes 178, 188, C28 and C29. In addition, the 189 Coast Meridian/Coquitlam Station has also been discontinued due to low ridership. For alternative service, see routes 188 and C38.

PoMo projects over budget A pair of projects are proving to be more expensive than originally anticipated by the city of Port Moody. At a special meeting Tuesday, council gave approval for nearly $400,000 in additional funding. The city will chip in a further $230,515 to the Appleyard Centennial House project on top of the $300,000 that had already been budgeted.
“The tender period closed with all bids received being significantly higher than the construction estimates,” according to a report prepared for council by senior project manager James Chandler. The money will go towards the project to move the Appleyard Centennial House to 126 Kyle St., where an atrium will connect it with the existing Port Moody Arts Centre on St. Johns Street. The additional funds bring the city’s total commit-
ment to $530,515 for the $1.1-million project. The project will also receive $480,785 from the Federal Heritage Legacy Fund as well as $87,500 from the Port Moody Arts Centre Society. The city’s portion of the costs will come from its Heritage Reserve Fund, which currently sits at just under $2 million. The city also approved an additional $150,000 for the Westhill lacrosse box roof. The city had already committed $529,000 to the project, with a $681,332
grant from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development picking up the other half of the $1.36-million cost. “As work commenced on the sports box project, the consultant and staff identified that some components of the roof contract were missing according to the project scope that was tendered,” according to a report from Ron Higo, general manager of community services for the city. debenal@tricitynews.com

I supported photo radar initially because when used in high-collision locations, elsewhere in the world, it has a remarkable record for reducing death and injuries. It never operated that way in BC and soon became public enemy number one where it was perceived as merely a cash cow for greedy provincial government.

Overall, only 16 percent of British Columbians believe that the province’s roads are “not too safe” or “not safe at all” for motorists, while four-in-five (82 percent) consider them “very safe” or “moderately safe.” This is the first of four surveys Insights West will conduct during the next year in partnership with Black Press.

YourInsights.ca is Insights West’s in-house access panel offering on-demand samples for both clients and research suppliers looking for Western Canadian populations. The data has been statistically weighted according to Canadian census figures for age and gender. While statistical margins of error are arguably not applicable to online panels/online studies of this nature, we have assumed that the same margins of error apply as if it were a true unweighted random probability sample with a margin of error of +/- 3.4 percentage points, nineteen times out of twenty.

Question OF THE WEEK:
Should the maximum speed limit on the highways be raised to 110 km/h and 120 km/h on the Coquihalla network?

Safety Tip: During the months of November and December there is an 86 per cent increase in crashes where a pedestrian is injured compared to July and August.

CLA 250 a stylish price buster The Mercedes CLA 250 is here and it is a the CLS sedan, which is based on the cause for celebration. E-Class sedan. By dropping the roof, This stylish compact car is powerful, raking the front and rear windows and filled with all kinds of features and adding a more aggressive front end, it starts at an amazing $33,900.

which I think is a better approach. The premium package is a must because it includes a huge panoramic sunroof, backup camera, automatic climate control and heated front seats; all of this for $2,800. This is a small car; the roof feels very low and back seat passengers need to be children or shorter adults. Rear seat outward visibility is limited and legroom is also at a premium. Drive The launch event for this new CLA was held in the Washington, D.C. area, leaving historic Georgetown and heading towards Maryland’s ports and navel academy. This provided some excellent stop-and-go traffic opportunities in Washington’s morning rush hour and then getting to stretch the new CLA’s legs on fabulous Interstate highways.
The Lowdown Power: 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 208hp Fill-up: 7.8L/5.1L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $33,900
All CLA models come with a Collision Prevention Assist feature that alerts the driver to the possibility of an impending collision.
The power plant is a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a healthy 208hp. The power goes through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to the front wheels. The more expensive and powerful 355hp CLA 45 AMG has an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system as standard equipment but the base CLA 250 will get this important option sometime in 2014. Power is fantastic, especially if the transmission is placed in the sportier mode. This car cruises effortlessly at highway speeds and passes with ease.
Verdict We are heading into a wonderful period of lower priced cars, or vehicles fitted with more standard features. This new CLA 250 is a perfect example of this. Other new entries include the latest A3 that arrives in March and starts at $31,100 and then the new BMW 1 Series will arrive in about a year. For the price of a well-equipped non-premium brand, Canadians can now get a premium German sedan for about the same price. zack.spencer@ drivewaybc.ca

Granted, it’s not a diesel but a classy car and one that’s nice to drive. Again, the Ford Explorer Sport was not diesel, but a strong contender. Though, the fuel economy wasn’t as stellar as we had hoped. We had spent the better part of a road trip in an Acura MDX in 2013 but wanted to wait until 2014 for the all-new version to come out. After taking that for a spin, that was top three on the list. We also fancied the Volvo XC90 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel. With all these great options, it was hard to narrow it down. But there was one that we had still not looked at. That was the 2014 VW Touareg TDI. It wasn’t hard to fall in love with it. As a VW owner, it’s something I should have
job very easy. We said we can make it difficult if he wanted! We didn’t. The whole process was anything but painful. In fact, it was very pleasant. It seemed as though the other clients of the dealership were also experiencing the same thing. And from what I’ve heard from readers who have emailed me about the car buying process, it is becoming more enjoyable for many people. I’m happy to hear that. With our new addition to the family and smiles on everyone’s faces, we couldn’t be happier. We’ve also driven almost 2,000 km in the first two weeks of having the Touareg TDI at home and have only filled the tank twice. Even better! alexandra.straub@driveway.bc.ca
thought about right away but for some reason didn’t. Regardless, testing it out fit everything we were looking for. The Touareg was within our price range, it had a generous cargo capacity, all-wheel drive (for our various trips up the mountain) and best of all, a diesel engine. I’m a huge supporter of alternatives to gas-powered vehicles, whether that’s diesel, electric or hybrids. It only seemed fitting to welcome this type of beautiful machine into our home. Upon recommendation from a colleague, we went to Gold Key VW in Langley where our sales rep, John Nielsen, was fabulous. Upon entry into the dealership, we knew exactly what we wanted.

The standard engine is a 5.7-litre Hemi V8 that can supply 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The optional 6.7-litre Cummins inline six-cylinder Turbo Diesel can supply 350 horsepower and a whopping 650 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated with either a six-speed manual (with an ultra-low first gear) or six-speed automatic with a feature that allows the driver to manually limit its highest gear and a tow/haul mode. The Cummings is a truck diesel that makes customary diesel engine noises, so it’s far from quiet, especially when you start it up cold. The clatter isn’t so bad when you’re inside the cab, with the windows up, but your neighbours may not appreciate the early morning din. And when you get up to cruising speed on the highway, it’s barely noticeable. Other new features available on RAM HD include an electric shift-on-the-fly 4×4 transfer case, a back-up camera that makes trailer hook-ups easier and a monitor that provides a variety of vehicle information. The cab rides on new C-pillar positioned hydraulic body mounts and there were suspension upgrades plus larger front axle U-joints. Changes for 2011 were minimal, but did include a tire pressure monitoring system and the LaRAMie trim got standard trailer brake control. In 2012, the HD got a sixspeed automatic transmission and a RAMBox storage system was expanded to the 6’ 4” bed. The base engine’s towing capability was also increased by 2,000 lbs, thanks to a new 4.10 ratio rear end. Big, brash and brawny, the revamped heavy-duty (Dodge) RAM 2500/3500 was reunited with a cleaner, yet more powerful, Cummings Diesel — a match made in truck heaven. Recalls on the 2010 to 2012 Dodge RAM: 2009/2010 - The brake booster input rod may have been installed without a retaining clip and could separate from the assembly, which would lead to a loss of brakes. Dealers will install or replace the retaining clips. 2010 - Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission

17th Santa Train set for Dec. 7 and 14 Toy donation will get you free ticket for round-trip West Coast Express’ annual Santa Train will be back on track the next two Saturdays. The Santa Train, now in its 17th year, is an annual toy drive that makes the scenic 65 km journey from Mission to Vancouver — and all WCE stations in between, col-
lecting toys on behalf of various Christmas bureaus, including Share Family and Community Services in the Tri-Cities. To ride the Santa Trains on Dec. 7 or 14, bring a new, unused and unwrapped toy to any WCE station; in exchange, you will receive a return ticket for the West Coast Express to be used the same day. As well, donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted — although food donations
will not be exchanged for tickets — and can be dropped off at the foodcollection bins located at Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver, terminus for the morning trains. The Santa Trains are sponsored by Black Press, The Tri-City News’ parent company, and Rogers Radio Group. The morning trains, which arrive at Waterfront Station at 11:15 a.m., will stop at the following times on
the two Saturdays: Port Coquitlam, 10:39 a.m.; Coquitlam, 10:45 a.m.; and Port Moody, 10:50 a.m. They’ll leave Waterfront in the afternoon at 4 p.m., arriving in PoMo at 4:24 p.m., Coquitlam at 4:29 p.m. and POCo at 4:34 p.m. For more information about Santa Trains, call TransLink customer service at 604-488-8906 or visit www.translink.ca/ santatrain. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Food, photos and birds 50% A rare marbled murrelet rescued after an oil spill on the B.C. coast by first-responders trained by the Oiled Wildlife Society. Funds raised at Tuesday’s Burke Mountain Naturalists silent auction will be donated to OWS.
It will be an evening of info, food and fun at the Burke Mountain Naturalists’ annual general meeting on Tuesday. Attendees can browse and bid on items and gift certificates donated by local businesses, plus items and services donated by BMN members for the silent auction. Among the services offered this year are a guided two-day tour of Indian Arm in a kayak, a lesson in Japanese cookery in your own kitchen, training in how to get the most out of your iPad and several hours of handyman services. There will also be a bake table with donated items for sale, and volunteers from the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society will sell fresh holly and other seasonal decorations. Funds raised will be
donated to the Oiled Wildlife Society of BC, a non-profit organization works with B.C.’s Wildlife Rehabilitators Network, the BC SPCA and others. The Dec. 10 meeting will include a brief annual general meeting and seasonal refreshments, after which BMN member Ian McArthur will present a slideshow featuring the past year’s hikes, invasive plant removal parties, nest box cleaning, public nature walks and other BMN activities. BMN is entering its 25th year in the community and always welcomes new members. This meeting also provides an opportunity to sign up for the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count, to be held this year on Saturday, Dec. 14. Every year for the past 21 years, the
Naturalists have collected data on the numbers and species of wintering birds in the Tri-Cities area as part of the larger Audubon North American census, which is the world’s longest running wildlife census, now in its 114th year, and involves more than 60,000 birders. Participation is free and anyone interested in joining a team of birders can contact BMN at burkemtnnats@gmail.com or
call Victoria Otton at 604937-5379. Tuesday’s meeting will be held in the church hall of Como Lake United Church, located on the corner of Marmont Street and King Albert in Coquitlam. Doors open at 7 pm and silent auction bidding will close at 9 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend and there is no charge.

Candlelight dinner focus Immigrant skills info on rights, not romance Dec. 10 session on Skills Connect
Amnesty dinner is set for Dec. 10 in Coquitlam A candlelight dinner usually denotes romance. But at a Dec. 10 Amnesty International dinner in Coquitlam, candles will be lit for another reason. “We’ll be lighting candles on Dec. 10, as we do each year,” says Nancy Furness, a member of the TriCities Amnesty group, “to remind everyone of the men and women around the world who risk their lives in order to have the freedom to
speak their own language, to practise their own religion or simply to protest an injustice.” Furness, a Port Coquitlam resident, will be the keynote speaker at the Human Rights Day dinner set for Tuesday at Pasta Polo restaurant in Coquitlam. She will speak about successes such
as the recent release of Canadian-Iranian prisoner of conscience Hamid GhassemiShall, who spent five years in the prison under threat of execution. Amnesty International began campaigning on GhassemiShall’s behalf in December 2009 and hundreds of messages — letters, emails and faxes — were sent to government representatives across Canada and in Iran, with Canadian officials calling for his release in Parliament. Furness will also touch on indigenous rights — in Colombia
Babies of 2013
and in Canada — in her talk and discuss the rights of indigenous people to make their own decisions about how and when their lands and resources will be used and developed.
TICKET INFO
Tickets for the Dec. 10 dinner fundraiser cost $20 and include dinner, music by Tony Prophet, opportunities to sign petitions and letters, and a silent auction. The dinner takes place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Pasta Polo, 2754 Barnet Hwy., Coquitlam. To reserve your tickets, call 604941-2606.

Port Moody mom took action, now competes in fitness events
Sunday, December 15th • 1:30 pm At the Dogwood Pavilion 624 Poirier St., Coquitlam
By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
More than a year ago, Candice Pawlik stepped on the scale and saw a number she did not like. After her recent pregnancy, the Port Moody mother, who said she was already struggling with negative body image issues, was shocked when she weighed in at 237 lb. But instead of getting depressed, she decided it was time to make some serious changes. “I knew this couldn’t go on,”she said.“I didn’t want to live that way anymore.” Her efforts to get her weight issues under control started slow. She told The Tri-City News that she began taking walks around her neighbourhood and started paying more attention to what she ate. Before Pawlik knew it, the weight started to fall off and every time she hit a new goal, her confidence was bolstered. She got a gym membership and became dedicated to her workout regimen. Fast-forward one year and the 30-year-old is more than 100 lb. lighter and now competes in fitness shows. She participated in the Sandra Wickham Fall Classic competition in New Westminster last month and said she is looking forward to another event this spring. “It’s fun,”she said. “[Competing] helps me keep focused... it gives me a goal.” People looking to get in shape, she said, should start small and work toward a goal. It is also important not to get discouraged if some days don’t go as well as others, she added. “Don’t beat yourself up,”she said.“Try again the next day.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Getting into the holiday spirit at Portrait’s Silver Ridge By Kerry Vital
On Monday Dec. 16, the homeowners at Portrait Homes’ Silver Ridge community will demonstrate their Christmas spirit with a decorating contest. “This is our fourth annual display contest,” says Robert Grimm, principal at Portrait Homes. “We started the event to
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
encourage homeowners to get into the Christmas spirit.” Silver Ridge is located in Maple Ridge, and among the judges will be Mayor Ernie Daykin. He will be joined by members of the Portrait Homes management team, and prizes from local merchants, including Chameleon Cafe, Golden Ears Cheeseworks and the Maple Ridge Art Gallery, will be handed out to the first, second and third prize winners. “What triggered us to start this event was the effort some of our homeowners went through in decorating their homes and we thought, wouldn’t it be great to get more people into the
Christmas spirit?” asks Grimm. Homeowners are encouraged to use lights and other decor items to make a festive display. Decorating has already started, and anticipation is building as the 16th nears. Silver Ridge is a 105-acre master-planned community. The latest phase is Hampstead, a collection of four- and fivebedroom single-family homes. Portrait Homes has been the recipient of many awards for Silver Ridge, including 27 Gold Georgies. Among the awards is Best Residential Development in B.C. and Best Residential Community in Canada. Portrait itself has been the winner of the Customer Choice Awards for 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and Best Single Family Home Builder in British Columbia for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011. For more information about Hampstead at Silver Ridge, visit www.portraithomes.ca/communities/hampstead or call 604466-9278.

Among the gorgeous features you’ll find at G3 are stainless-steel appliances, laminate hardwood flooring and quartz countertops. The eating bar, above, is convenient for entertaining or a quick bite to eat, while the living areas, above right, and bedrooms, below right, are spacious and inviting.
Everything is in the details in homes at G3 in Surrey By Kerry Vital
Three is a lucky number at G3, an exciting condominium development in Surrey’s Guildford neighbourhood that features three buildings with a huge variety of floorplans that will definitely suit the needs of all discerning buyers. “The quality here is excellent,” says sales manager Margaret Bird. “It’s been especially appealing to first-time buyers.”
Announcing the RENO ME!
G3 offers studio to two-bedroom homes, with several floorplans available. One of the most impressive things about the development is the beautiful views from some of the homes. “From the north-facing homes you can see the (North Shore) mountains,” says Bird. “From the east-facing homes, you can see Mount Baker and that area. It’s gorgeous.” Some of the other beautiful features of the homes at G3 include stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and an eating bar; a convenient touch for those on-thego or who enjoy entertaining. Soft-closing cabinetry with brushed nickel hardware is perfectly lit by the ceiling mounted track lighting and pendant lights. Laminate hardwood flooring is featured throughout the living areas, with lush carpeting in the bedrooms and imported
porcelain tile in the kitchen, entry and bathrooms. The bathrooms are elegant and luxurious, with a deep soaker tub, semi-frameless glass shower and chic wall-mounted vanity light. Homeowners can still choose between two designer colour schemes, Sterling and Onyx, and will enjoy the nine-foot ceilings (higher on the top floor) and convenient frontloading washer and dryers that come with every home. Oversized storage and parking is also included. “It’s a beautiful package,” Bird says. Residents will also have access to the G3 residents lounge, which will include a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other things. G3’s location is one of the top draws for buyers. “You can walk to everything,” says Bird.

Rapids, T-Wolves snag top-10 finish By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
There’s always next year is a common refrain in the world of sports. But for the Riverside Rapids senior girls volleyball team there’s more than a grain of truth to it. R i ve r s i d e l o s t t o Tw e e d s m u i r 2 5 - 2 0 , 25-18 in their final game at last weekend’s B.C. high school AAAA girls volleyball championships in Penticton to claim eighth spot. The Rapids opened the tournament with wins over Moscrop and Penticton and a hard-fought loss to Handsworth. “We did not elevate our game when we needed to. We played H a n d swo r t h , wh o ’ s a top 10 team, and we lost 26-24, 25-23 in a very close game,” said Rapids coach Bryan Gee. “Handsworth elevated their game and were able to win the key points.” The loss put the Rapids on a tough road to the finals, one that would have to go through the eventual champion South Delta Sun Devils. “We played South Delta well but they are the true No. 1 team in the province,” said Gee. “Had we met anybody else in the quarterfinal I think we would have

Riverside Rapid Hayley Menard sets the ball during first-round action of the B.C. high school girls volleyball championships against the Penticton Lakers. made it through but that’s the nature of the draw.” But Gee views the loss as an invaluable learning experience for the Rapids, a team that entered the provincials
with the No. 2 ranking despite a starting lineup made up entirely of Grade 10 and 11 players. “Being No. 2 seed is new to these young kids. Every single team
came out and gave us their absolute best. I think we learned this weekend we have to enjoy being seeded high because other teams bring out the best in us.” The Rapids Taryn
Toscani was an honourable mention for tournament all-stars and Gee singled out the play of Christine Anderson and Hayley Menard. “They demonstrated strong leadership and
played consistently throughout the entire tournament,” he said. The Pinetree Timberwolves placed 10th at the provincials. Pinetree opened the tournament with
losses to South Delta and Tweedsmuir and a win over West Van. A tough four-set loss to Elgin Park sent the Timberwolves to the c o n s o l at i o n ro u n d , where they beat Moscrop and Vanier before falling in the rematch with West Van. Coach Serene Lau is pleased with her team’s performance, considering it was a challenge just to field a team at the beginning of the season. “With only four returning players with indoor experience, our team included six players who were relatively new to the indoor game and who had never played at the senior level,” said Lau. The Timberwolves were led by setter Amanda Ramsden and middle Emily Maglio, who will be attendi n g t h e U n i ve r s i t y of Hawaii next year, and featured a lineup that included a pair of Grade 10s along with Grade 8 Nicole Ramsden. “The returning seniors all played a huge role in patiently guiding and leading this team along during the entire season,” said Lau. “Between losing and winning, this team found a way to come together to play and support each other.” sports@tricitynews.com
Coquitlam rinks advance to B.C. Junior championship A pair of Coquitlam rinks are in the running for the B.C. Junior Curling Championship. Team Habkirk and Team Egan, out of the Coquitlam Curling Centre, will be among the 16 teams that take to the ice in search of the junior provincial title at the Chilliwack Curling Club from Dec. 26-31. The Habkirk rink
— made up of skip Kyle Habkirk, third Ryan Harbrink, second Kevin Harbrink and lead Kento Sato — includes three members of the gold-medal team at the 2013 Tim Hortons B.C. Juvenile Championships. On the junior women’s side, Port Coquitlam’s Briana Egan skips the rink of third Caitlin Campbell,
second Janice Pang and lead Angelique Miller. Team Habkirk advanced to the provincials by winning the C final at last weekend’s Coastal Playdown held at the Coquitlam Curling Club. Habkirk’s rink scored four in the 10th to get past the Coquitlam rink skipped by Matthew McCrady 8-6 in the C
final. Habkirk earlier claimed a 6-5 win in a back-and forth contest with Connar Croteau’s Victoria rink. Habkirk was knocked out of the B event by Victoria’s Paul Henderson 10-3 i n e i g h t e n d s . Th e Coquitlam rink opened the B event with a 6-3 w i n o v e r B r ay d e n Carpenter of Royal City. Team Habkirk opened the playdowns
with a 9-4 loss to Cody Tanaka’s rink from the Tunnel Town/Langley Curling Club. Team Egan needed only seven ends to wrap up a 13-3 win over Kirsten Zucchet’s rink out of Chilliwack in the B event final. The Egan rink opened the play downs with an 11-8 victory over the Langley rink skipped by Taylor Mykle-Winkler. An 11-4
loss to Dezaray Hawes o f t h e R oya l C i t y Curling Club knocked Egan from the A event. The two Coquitlam rinks aren’t the only Tri-City curlers who are vying for a shot at the junior championship. Dezaray Hawes of Anmore is the skip for Team Hawes out of the Royal City Curling Club and Coquitlam’s Ashley Sanderson is
the lead with Team Van Osch from the Nanaimo Curling Centre and Delta Thistle Curling Club. Nicholas Umbach of Coquitlam is second for Team Tanaka from Tunnel Town Curling Club in Delta while Zachary Umbach is lead with Team Tardi out of the Langley Curling Club. sports@tricitynews.com

Tri-City trio suits up for Team BC By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
ElainE FlEury phoTo
Matt Symes of the Coquitlam Adanacs prepares to take a shot on the Langley Thunderbirds net in U19 field lacrosse action Sunday night in Port Moody.
Spruce Kings blank Express The Coquitlam Express had no answer to Alex Murray Wednesday night. The Prince George Spruce King netminder stoned the hometown Express to earn a 6-0
shutout victory. The Express fell behind quickly on a pair of power play markers in the first six minutes. Prince George scored again late in the first and added three more in the
third. Coquitlam outshot the Kings 34-20 with Pierce Dushenko making 14 saves in the loss. The Express host the Kings again tonight (7 p.m.) at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Centre.
United stopped in semifinals A team of Tri-City high school players fell just short in their quest for provincial supremacy on the rugby pitch. The United Rugby Club were edged 13-10 by Kelowna in the B.C. U19 Tier II semifinal Nov. 23 at Hume Park in New Westminster. Kelowna
took a 13-5 lead to the half but United carried the play in the second half. United maintained ball possession in the attacking zone for the final 20 minutes including a final push with non-stop possession at the end of the game. The United squad,
made up of players from every high school in the Tri-Cities except Heritage Woods, posted an undefeated season in league play including handing Kelowna its only loss over the past two seasons. Kelowna knocked off United in last year’s B.C. Tier II final.
Their football season may be over but the biggest challenge could still lie ahead for three Coquitlam Minor Football players. Jaden Severy and Alex Figner have been selected to play for the Team BC Grade 7 team while Cole Kashino will suit up for the Grade 6 squad next weekend in Sammamish, Wash. The B.C. teams are among 64 teams from across Canada and the U.S. squaring off for the Football University National Championship. “I’m definitely looking forward to the competitive aspect but I’m super nervous. It’s my first time ever being at such a high level,” said Figner, who played with the Coquitlam Roughriders. “It is American ball so there will be rule changes and it will be tough.” Figner played linebacker and fullback with the Roughriders but will be lining up at defensive end for Team BC. “Although my position is defensive end, you get to move around a bit. I might be linebacker and I also might be playing some running back.” He said he likes the combination of strength and speed that is necessary to succeed on the gridiron.
Dan EbEnal/ThE Tri-CiTy nEws
Cole Kashino (left), Alex Figner and Jaden Severy will take the field for Team BC this weekend in Sammamish, Wash. Figner will be joined on the Grade 7 team by Jaden Severy, his teammate with the Roughriders who will be playing linebacker and running back. “I like playing defence because I like the hitting,” said Severy, whose favourite player is Marshawn Lynch of the Seattle Seahawks. Figner and Severy look forward to playing for the Terry Fox Ravens when they enter high school B o t h S eve ry a n d Figner are viewing the Team BC opportunity as a second chance for the playoffs as the Roughriders weren’t able to make the post-season. Team BC opens the
tournament Saturday against a team from Eastern Washington/ Idaho. The winner of that game will play the winner of a game between Seattle and Oregon. And if Team BC is able to win both those games they would advance to the next round the following weekend in Sacramento, Calif. “Hopefully we can win our games so we can continue all the way and hopefully get to the finals,”said Severy. Kashino would have suited up with the Coquitlam Wildcats this year but a broken arm sidelined him before the season even began. “It’s going to be kind of
weird because you have been playing against (his Team BC teammates) all the time and now you’re on the same team,” he said. Kashino lined up as a linebacker and fullback in Coquitlam Minor Football but will play defensive end for Team BC. All three Coquitlam products say they are looking forward to chall e n g i n g t h e m s e l ve s against the high level of competition that will be taking part in the FBU national tournament. “It makes it more challenging and also makes it a lot more fun to play against kids who really, really want to win,” said Figner.
