Fire rips through home in PoCo By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

DAN EBENAL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Kinsmen Howard Grant helps 10th Coquitlam Scouts Kye and Connor Mills load a tree into the chipper at the Christmas tree chipping Sunday at Coquitlam Town Centre Park. A number of tree chipping events were held around the Tri-Cities over the weekend, marking the end of the holiday season.

A giant plume of smoke could be seen for miles after fire broke out at a home in Port Coquitlam on Monday. Firefighters responded to the blaze on Myrtle Way at around 3:30 p.m. and were still trying to suppress the flames when many people in the neighbourhood were returning home from work. “Obviously, there were a lot of combustibles in the house,” said PoCo Fire Chief Nick Delmonico. “It was going pretty good. There was a lot of smoke.” Because the home sat at the end of a cul-de-sac, firefighters had a difficult time accessing the scene. Many of the houses s i t c l o s e t o g e t h e r, Delmonico said, and it was difficult for trucks to get close enough to the blaze. Eventually, firefighters moved a ladder truck into the area and began attacking the blaze from above, he added. see CHIEF, page 2

Families relieved after Sater found guilty Accused in deadly collision convicted on six counts By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Last Friday’s guilty verdict in the deadly hit-and-run trial of Cory Sater will hopefully cause more people to think twice about getting behind the wheel when they are impaired, said the husband of one of

the victims. D a n Reaveley, whose w i f e Charlene w a s CORY SATER killed along with Lorraine Cruz when they were struck by Sater’s Jeep in 2011, said the judge’s decision to convict the accused of impaired driving and dangerous driving causing death was a relief for the families. “It’s nice to know

there is a little bit of accountability,” he said outside the courtroom after the verdict was read at BC Supreme Court in New Westminster. “The biggest thing for me is setting a precedent for people who jump in the car after they drink.” Brian Reaveley, Dan’s father and Charlene’s father-in-law, also expressed relief at the judge’s decision. There were moments over the course of the trial, he added, when he feared that Sater may not be

convicted. “I was worried about it,” he said. “But we came through. It helps a lot. If he was walking the streets, it would be a problem so this does help a lot.” On the night of the incident, Cruz and her boyfriend, Paulo Calimbahin, had been involved in a minor collision at Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Road in Coquitlam. Charlene, Dan and two friends had witnessed the accident and

were helping Cruz and Calimbahin when the deadly crash occurred. Cruz and Charlene Reaveley were killed almost instantly while Calimbahin was seriously injured, losing his leg in the incident. Last week, Justice James Williams agreed with the Crown’s assertions that Sater had consumed six double rye and Cokes and two Jagerbombs prior to getting behind the wheel. see JUDGE, page 6

Chief: ‘The whole place was gone’ continued from front page

“It was a very confined space,” he said. “We threw a ton of water at it early but it was apparent that wasn’t going to put it out.” Crews did a good job of protecting the neighbouring houses from fire damage, Delmonico added. It took firefighters approximately two hours to get the blaze under control. Nobody was home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries in the incident. There were early reports that a dog may have been in the home but Delmonico said that turned out to not be the case. Many residents in the nearby neighbourhood watched as the home burned. Fire investigators were combing through the rubble of the home Tuesday morning, searching for clues to what caused the blaze. “In a fire like that, it can be difficult to make a determination on cause because there is so much damage,” Delmonico said. “The whole place was gone by the time we left there.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

The Coquitlam RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in determining the cause of a vehicle collision on Mary Hill Bypass Monday morning.

Witnesses sought in Mary Hill crash By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

GARY McKennA/the tRi-citY newS

A home on Myrtle Way in Port Coquitlam was destroyed by fire Monday afternoon. No one was hurt in the blaze and investigators are still combing through the debris to determine the cause.

Coquitlam RCMP are calling for witnesses to come forward to report what they saw during a collision that took place at the intersection of the Mary Hill bypass and Coast Meridian Road in Port Coquitlam at about 7 a.m. Monday morning. Cpl. Jamie Chung said police are looking for eyewitnesses to the collision that occurred during the morning rush between a green Honda CRV and a black Ford F150 truck and sent two people to hospital. The truck was travelling eastbound and was

badly damaged, but it was the driver of the CRV who sustained the life-threatening injuries and is still in Royal Columbian Hospital. Chung said Tuesday that police are still unsure of what caused the crash, although alcohol and drugs have been ruled out. The incident shut down eastbound Mary Hill traffic for several hours Monday. “We would really appreciate a call either today or tonight to let us know what happened before and during the crash,”he said. Witnesses are asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1561 and ask to speak to Sgt. Dave Fee. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

After $20 million rebuild, students & teachers get a look at new school

After they found their classroom on the second floor, Kristmanson and Wilkinson said they liked the open feeling of the building and the technology, including a projector in their room that is linked to the internet. “It feels like a high school or university,” Kristmanson said. Carrying her baby in her arms, French Immersion Grade 6-7 teacher Stephanie Kurylow said she was delighted to visit the school during her maternity leave and was impressed with what she saw. “To finally have a building for these amazing kids is spectacular.” Clerkson was given a gold hardhat for his work planning the new building and said some work was still needed to finish some trim details. Overall he thought the move was successful and students were proud of the building that accommodated many of their needs and desires into the design. In addition to the large gym, woodworking room, band room and community spaces, the new Pitt River middle school has movable walls and brightlycoloured open spaces where teachers and students can collaborate.

Moving day at Pitt River middle school By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

“I was just kidding about the slippers.” With his tongue somewhat in cheek, principal Todd Clerkson urged his Pitt River students to take care of their brand new middle school while also cherishing the history of their former school in a ceremony held Monday to mark the opening of the $20 million seismic rebuild. “This should be a real memorable day for you guys,” Clerkson said, as he welcomed staff, guests and 450 students into the large new gym with its shiny floor, Voyageurs logo and mural , iPod plug ins and a bank of windows letting in the natural light. In an earlier leaving ceremony at the old building Clerkson promised students would get slippers with their name on them to wear to avoid scratching the gym floor. As he prepared them for the move, Clerkson reminded students that generations of people have attended the school, including hometown hero Terry Fox.

Grade 8 students Taylor Kristmanson and Michael Wikinson said they were pleased with the design of the new Pitt River middle school that incorporates technology and flexible classroom spaces. Lorne Lambert, who has taught music at the Port Coquitlam school, played Auld Lang Syne on the sax at a schoolleaving ceremony in the old building prior to the move. Carrying her baby in her arms, French Immersion Grade 6-7 teacher Stephanie Kurylow (left) prepares to tour the new Pitt River middle school, along with some of her colleagues. Lorne Lambert, who has taught music at the Port Coquitlam school for 34 years, played Auld Lang Syne on his sax for students and shared with The The Tri-City

News his mixed feelings about leaving the old school. “I think I had my tears at Christmas concerts,” Lambert said while also acknowledging that he

is looking forward to getting his new room in order and welcoming students in to the highceilinged acousticallydesigned space that opens onto an outdoor

plaza and amphitheater. “Here, I am focused and excited,” Lambert said. Students Josh C a l d w e l l , Ta y l o r Kristmanson and

Michael Wikinson said they were pleased with the new building with its polished concrete floors, high ceilings, wood details, flexible spaces and high-tech equipment.

Church hopes bell tower rings in the new year By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A handsome bell tower that gave St. Andrew’s United Church its distinctive mid-century modernist look and called the faithful to worship for decades will rise again. This time, though, it will include six cellular antennas, making it a communications tower for Rogers Communications as well. The Canadian telecommunications giant is working with the small Port Moody congregation on a plan to rebuild the tower that was nearly blown over in a windstorm a few years ago. If PoMo council approves the project in 2014, the tower will be rebuilt and

the church will get a working electronic bell and other financial benefits from a long-term lease it hopes to sign with Rogers. “The bell tower is part of the history of the church and he we are going to have a new one with a link to new modern technology,” said Charlie Young, chair of the church trustees. This isn’t the first time Rogers has teamed with a church to be able to provide its customers with cellphone coverage. A company spokesperson said similar arrangements have been established across Canada. “The St. Andrews Church fulfills a coverage gap in the Rogers net-

work and the installation of Rogers antennas will provide faster and more reliable service to people and businesses in the surrounding area,” Peter Leathley said in an email. Young said the arrangement should work out well for the church, which had to tear down the old bell tower when it started to lean.The old bell, which had been installed when the church was built in1957, hadn’t been used for years and had begun to rust.The new tower will have an electronic bell but Young isn’t sure if it will be used to call the faithful to church on Sunday morning. “We have to talk about that,” he said. “I’m not too sure if a community

would want to have a bell ringing at five minutes to 10.” But he said the church is happy to have the tower rebuilt and get some income from the deal to enable it to continue its service work in the community. Young said the church is currently home to several groups and will shelter homeless people as part of the Hope for Freedom Society’s Bridge shelter program in early spring. According to the church’s website, the PoMo United Church got its start in the 1880s when the Rev. Ebenezer Robson of the Methodist church (a United church precursor) used to make his rounds and visit ships in the harbour.

Missing patient sought by police A mental-health patient gone missing from the grounds of Coquitlam’s Riverview Hospital is now wanted on a Canada-wide warrant. Coquitlam RCMP on Tuesday reported Cao The Phan had left the Coast Cottages and is currently described as being unlawfully at large. The 51-year-old Asian male is 5’ tall, weighs 148 pounds, has black thinning hair and is without his index and middle fingers on his right hand. He also walks with a limp. Phan speaks Vietnamese and can understand English. This is not the first time he has gone missing from the facility. In 2011, police reported that Phan had walked away from Riverview Hospital twice

— once in March a n d again in the fall. At the time of those inPHAN cidents, the Provincial Health Services Authority, said the risk of Phan harming a member of the public was considered low. However, the Coquitlam RCMP said that if he is seen he should not be approached. If you see Phan, police ask you don’t approach him but call 911 to report his whereabouts. For more information on file number 2014-560, call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550.

Lincoln Station construction Port Mann price changes gets underway in Coquitlam expected to shift traffic Work is expected to cause some noise and traffic detours in area EGRT Construction has announced the beginning of construction for the Lincoln Station project at Coquitlam Centre mall and is advising drivers and pedestrians to watch out for signs and traffic control personnel during the work, which is expected to last until late 2015. Construction is expected to take place in a fenced off area from Monday through Saturday each week between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. The station is to be located in the northeastern section of the Coquitlam Centre parking lot between Northern Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. The public should expect some noise from hauling, piling and foundation work and shoppers may also notice some parking lot changes as well as sidewalk and traffic detours. But EGRT stated in a bulletin issued this week that every effort will be made to minimize disruption and maximize traffic flow. The project is a milestone for Coquitlam which lobbied heavily for the Lincoln Station, which was finally added to the route with the contribution of $7 million from the federal government and the donation of land from Pensionfund Realty Ltd., a privately held real estate company that owns the mall. Meanwhile, on the other end of town, some nighttime work will be necessary in the Lougheed Town Centre Station area beginning Jan. 13 and continuing to the end of March. According to EGRT, crews will be installing girders, deck panels and pouring concrete for the new elevated guideway

disrupting daytime transit service and because cranes have to be used to install large beams.

By Jeff Nagel

The work will take place from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. and some noise is expected although efforts will be made to reduce it. As well, there will be nighttime lane closures and detours along North Road. For example, southbound traffic on North Road will be detoured intermittently at Austin Avenue to allow crews to begin installing girders for the elevated guideway.

lane over the bridge,” Bateman said. “There’s still tonnes of weird detours for exits and temporary signage and overnight lane closures. I’m not sure why we’re paying full price for something that isn’t fully finished.” He predicts more drivers will dodge the $6 round-trip toll by using the Pattullo — which he said is “the last bridge you want to put more traffic on” — or the free crossings further south. The full South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) is now open, speeding access to those crossings from Highway 1.

discount when the Port Mann/Highway 1 project is not yet finished. “I’m pretty disappointed they’ve decided to go to the full tolls without having the full bridge open,” Bateman said. The province says the additional lanes now open west of the Port Mann are delivering the full travel time savings, but the bridge itself will have eight rather than all 10 lanes open for much of this year while work continues to dismantle the old span. “We still don’t have the much-promised Surrey-to-Coquitlam

A memorial at Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Road was setup after Charlene Reaveley and Lorraine Cruz were killed in a deadly hit-and-run collision in February 2011.

L’

A driver that was not impaired, the judge stated, would have been able to see the two women on the road and safely negotiate the hazard. “There is no reason available to explain why Mr. Sater failed to react,” Williams said in his decision. “The only conclusion I can draw is that his faculties were compromised.” In total, Sater was found guilty of six charges on Friday: two counts each of impaired driving and dangerous driving causing death and one count each of impaired driving and dangerous driving causing bodily harm. Earlier in the trial, Sater reversed his not guilty plea on one count of fleeing the scene of an accident. The Crown also dropped two counts of operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level

above .08. Williams said in most cases, proving a count of impaired driving requires a breathalyzer reading or blood test showing the accused’s blood-alcohol level. Because Sater fled the scene, no evidence of that nature was available. However, video footage showing Sater sitting at the bar consuming his beverages prior to the collision — along with a bill he signed for the eight drinks — went a long way toward proving the Crown’s case, Williams said. The judge also noted the testimony at trial of several pub staffers, who told the court that they had ceased serving Sater that night because he appeared to be inebriated, supported the prosecutions evidence. Sater is currently out on bail and is expected to be sentenced on March 31.

Not too late to get vaccinated, officials say By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fraser Health is urging residents to get the flu shot if they havenâ€™t yet had it after a surge in severe cases of H1N1 influenza. As of Monday, 30 patients sick with suspected H1N1 had been treated in hospital intensive care units with artificial respiration, although some have since been discharged. One patient has died but the case has not yet been confirmed as H1N1 flu. Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder said the cases here are mirroring the pattern seen recently with outbreaks in Alberta, Ontario and Texas. Ill patients here are not the very elderly, but adults of various ages from 20 to 60, he

Cold, hard facts I

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

f you got through the holiday season without getting a cold or the flu, count yourself lucky. This is flu season and many people are ending up sick and even in hospital. But does that mean you should arm yourself with a vaccine? The Fraser Health Authority says yes, especially after more than a dozen people landed in hospital across the region, with many still being ventilated on respirators. The sufferers include pregnant women, some elderly people, and people with a chronic illness or who are severely overweight. It seems like a no-brainer for people to get a flu shot, even now, with the cold and flu season half over. Getting a flu shot is relatively painless, compared to the cold, chills, fever and other symptoms of a bad flu, it’s not that expensive, and they are available at just about every corner pharmacy, and the public health office. Many people qualify for free vaccines. So what stops people from getting them? Well, the recent brouhaha with the BC Nurses Union might have struck a blow against the credibility of the vaccination campaign. Health care workers fought and lost a battle to force them to get mandatory vaccines and were told to submit to a needle or wear a mask. The union doesn’t believe health care workers should be forced to get a vaccination and there is dispute about the effectiveness of the flu shot. Unlike most of us, nurses can get free vaccinations on the job site, but if the nurses aren’t 100% behind a vaccination campaign, why should anyone else be? Both the provincial nurses union and the Canadian Federation of Nurses support vaccinations generally, just not mandatory shots for their workers, believing that education rather than discipline is better for raising vaccination rates. That stance might appease union members wishing to assert their rights, but it’s giving the public a mixed message. If the flu shot is the right way to go, nurses and other health care workers should be setting an example for everyone.

2014 marks another year of enviro-wars BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he new year lurched to life with a round of shouting about the environment, as our post-industrial, post-literate urban society grapples with conflicting claims of impending doom. The release of a group of Greenpeace protesters from a Russian prison was welcomed by TV news networks desperate to fill the holiday dead zone. Our intrepid Canadian pair got to describe over and over their bid to hang a strongly worded banner from a Russian offshore oil platform, and their horror when security forces boarded their vessel from helicopters and seized it. In all the fawning interviews, I kept waiting for two questions to be asked. What did they think Vladimir Putin’s regime would do? And what was the point? How is disrupting one oil

platform for an hour going to save the planet? The Greenpeace“activists”claimed this was the first oil platform to operate above the Arctic Circle. So it was a line in the snow, which I’m sure impressed Putin as he ramps up his territorial claim to include the North Pole. Meanwhile at the South Pole, TV anchors remained carefully sombre as they reported numerous bids to rescue a scientific vessel trapped in thick ice. No quips about the predictive abilities of climate scientists please! In fact, this ill-fated voyage was a re-enactment of Sir Douglas Mawson’s 1913 expedition, with pro-global warming news outlets BBC and The Guardian aboard to capture the melting wrought by a century of industrial expansion. The rescue efforts (from a Russian ship by Chinese helicopters) also disrupted an Australian icebreaker’s supply trip for one of the real scientific expeditions working in Antarctica. Skeptics had great fun with the Antarctic debacle, as they did earlier with the resur-

gence of Arctic ice that trapped climate tourists. As is normal in the Internet age, the climate debate has split into two fanatical factions, each of which promotes the most extreme examples it can find to prop up its version of truth. They call each other“warmists”and“deniers”among other pithy names. Greenpeace is now known in B.C. as part of our Team America anti-tar sands brigade. They got off to a good start in 2014 by selectively seizing on reports of a new study of mercury contamination in northern Alberta. A“bullseye”of this dreaded neurotoxin has been drawn around oilsands operations by measuring traces in snow. The study by Environment Canada scientists isn’t published yet, but Postmedia News reported on a presentation in November by the researchers. “The federal scientists stress the mercury loadings around the oilsands are low compared to the contamination seen in many parts of North America including southern Ontario and southern Quebec,”the news report states.

This is like the study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution in northern Alberta lakes that was twisted into propaganda and fed to the news media last year. This is another group of neurotoxins that are far more concentrated in urban areas than around remote industry. Consumption, rather than production of coal, diesel and other fuels produces the vast majority of these emissions. I look forward to the study of their effects around Lost Lagoon and Burnaby Lake. Of course safe levels of these materials have been set by Health Canada.You’re more likely to get significant exposure to mercury from a broken fluorescent lamp or the mercury amalgam in your old tooth fillings than you are from feeding ducks at the lake, although you might get a whiff of PAH when you gas up the car or board the bus.

The Editor, While the Evergreen Line is being built, merchants on North Road have lost their parking. Any loss of revenue of this nature would have been disastrous for us, had it happened while we were in business. This is a repeat of the ridiculous situation, when merchants on Cambie Street lost a lot of income while the Canada Line was under construction. When land is needed for a pipeline, the owners get compensated. When

new roads need to be built, all concerned may expect compensation. Hollywood North makes arrangements during their movie shoots. I even recall a homeless person who demanded compensation from the movie company for loss of income because his â€œcustomersâ€? needed to use the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street. City management should be commended if they were on a mission to treat taxpayer money

Why were able-bodied in handicapped zones? The Editor, During the holiday season it was obvious that the parking facilities at all shopping areas were almost full to capacity. Another thing I did notice was that 90% of the people who parked in the designated handicapped parking spaces were far from handicapped, despite having the official card hanging on the mirror. Is it that these people do the shopping for disabled people? Even if this is the case, why should they get the benefit of having avail-

with a little more respect and reduced their everincreasing spending habits. However, singling out and bankrupting taxpaying merchants will clearly not serve anybody. Whenever infrastructure of this nature is contemplated it should

include compensation for those negatively effected. It was successfully done in Seattle. It should never prompt court actions which, I am sure, the merchants must consider at this point. Ziggy Eckardt Burnaby

Another view of children in pubs

The Editor, Re. â€œA minor issue with B.C.â€™s new pub rulesâ€? (As I See it, The Tri-City News, Jan. 3). I, too, have the same record of not entering Chuck E Cheese. See, we have something in common. Having children doesnâ€™t make me want to eat horrible pizza in a room full of over-excited children. I also donâ€™t care for Dennyâ€™s and other low-end â€œfamilyâ€? restaurants. Â See â€” having children doesnâ€™t kill my tastebuds. I donâ€™t want to eat those restaurant offerings and I donâ€™t want to feed it to my children. Nice try with the idea that Iâ€™ll be driving drunk with my kids. A valiant attempt to get others on board with your point of view. However, parents arenâ€™t the only ones who shouldnâ€™t drink and drive. Even childless You shouldnâ€™t drive after spendingâ€œan hour or two drinking.â€? Iâ€™m sure you agree? I wouldnâ€™t be worried about pubs losing your business, which I am assuming you might threaten to take away. Pubs in the United Kingdom are thriving, and hey, they allow children. Goodbye draconian laws, hello European style lunches. See you at the pub â€” with my kids. Marianne Pauluzzi Coquitlam

A Druh Ireland artistic nod to Marilyn Monroe and Andy Warhol.

From film to paint By Janis Warrren The Tri-CiTy NeWs

Two years ago, when work in the film industry scaled back in Vancouver, Lions Bay costume cutter Druh Ireland started painting full time in her home studio. She had taken a few classes at Capilano University and at Emily Carr University of Art + Design but, for the most part, she was self-taught. “I didn’t really want to learn to paint in the classical way. I didn’t want to get wrecked,” she said with a laugh. So she began to experiment with oil and acrylic paints in an attempt to find her “voice.” The results of what she calls her “fumbling around” can be seen in a new solo show, titled You Are Here, which opens Thursday at Place des Arts in Coquitlam. Ireland has 15 works on display, most of them abstracts measuring 40 by 50 inches each; she also included, at the last minute, three paintings of Marilyn Monroe’s face in the screening style of Andy Warhol. You Are Here is Ireland’s first exhibit at the Maillardville gallery and her third solo show. A member of the North Shore Community Arts Council, Ireland has also participated in group displays in the Lower Mainland and in Kelowna. She likes having her name out there and her work being seen. “Film work is a great, big collaboration and painting is all me,” see fIRST pDA, page 13

Vancouver fashion historian Ivan Sayers worked for 20 years at the Vancouver Museum and was its curator of history from 1976 to 1990.

The Tri-CiTy NeWs

f you ask Vancouver fashion historian Ivan Sayers for his view on the threads typically worn today, he will likely give you a blunt answer.“I try not to think about it,”he states. Truth is, his career goal was to become an archeologist so it’s in Sayers’ DNA to dig for older things and uncover the society from which they arose. Sayers says he’s too close to the era to analyze modern garments properly, and he hardly ever goes into clothing stores. “Now, it’s more about novelty,” he said. Haute couture is about quality, he said, that showcases the best fabrics and cuts and measures proportions and ratios as an art form. The expectation is that it is meant to last. “Nowadays, people want something they can wear once or twice,” he said. “Go to Value Village. You will see thousands and thousands of garments — some of them with their tags still on them.” But contemporary styles aren’t what Sayers will be speaking about next week at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts. Rather, he’ll concentrate on one of his favourite fashion eras: post-World War II, in particular, women’s garments from the 1940s to 1963 and how designers such as Dior, Balenciaga and Schiaparelli changed the landscape with their collections. During the war, when limitations were put on fabric and women worked for the campaign, women’s clothing was more masculine with padded, square shoulders and no embellishments, explained Sayers whose parents were part of the Canadian Army. With Dior’s 1947 “New Look” came an extreme reversal from rationing to indulgence. “It really was about walking away from the war and trying to turn to a newer and happier society.” The emphasis was placed on full skirts — the lower half of the body versus the top in the ‘40s — that created a more feminine approach to fashion as well as a demand on fabric. Besides the exaggerated figure, shoulders became more round, colours were softer, patterns were prettier, and glitter and romance (in the form of beads, sequins and artificial flowers, for example) were prominent.

His talk will be the facility’s first for the new year as part of the Salon Speaker Series. were ornamental rather than practical and shoes were high. The style is what Sayers describes as “beauty by impairment” because “you couldn’t do aggressive things. It was the woman who was the ornament. It might not be politically correct but it was the thought of the moment.” Some reasoning behind the glamour was that men were in short supply and, as a result, women had to dress up to catch a husband in order to make a home, he said. “After the war, there was a big push to create the perfect society that supposedly the war was fought for. In other words, women were going to give up their careers and have children. “The fashion was sort of geared to that reality.” However, that fell by the wayside heading toward the late ‘50s and early ‘60s as fashion changed tack to reflect a more youthful“Barbie doll”style. Sayers’ presentation in Coquitlam on Jan. 16 — the first in the 2014 Salon Speaker Series at Place des Arts (and is already sold out) — will also include items from his extensive personal collection such as a 1954 dress from the French designer Paquin. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Whiskey, haggis to toast the Scottish bard A lively Celtic band will once again pay homage to the Scottish poet Robbie Burns at a celebration dinner and concert at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts next week. Blackthorn will return to the Maillardville facility for the feast and show on Saturday, Jan. 18 for the second annual Burns’ tribute night. Blackthorn fiddler Rosie Carver, who has been a Place des Arts faculty member for four years, said the band this year will focus on songs and poems of Burns, who was born on Jan. 25, 1759. “We’ll have some beautiful ballads as well as some boisterous things that we’ll be playing so it’s definitely going to be a mix of tunes and instrumental,”

she said. But before Blackthorn starts up, attendees will be served a hearty Scottish stew with skirlie potato cakes, green salad and whiskey-soaked sponge cake and sweet cream (a vegetarian version is also available). And as with the inaugural Burns’ night in 2012, Michael Fera — Place des Arts’ special events co-ordinator — will be in the kitchen to prepare the grub. “He did such a great job last year with the traditional meal,” Carver said. “Everyone was very satisfied.” As for the address to the haggis, Maillardville native and piper Vincent Coulombe (the nephew of Blackthorn’s Michael Viens) will deliver the speech

during the concert intermission. And whiskey, wine and beer can be had at the cash bar to wash down the dish. The party isn’t just for Scots or those with a Celtic blood, said Carver, who has a Hungarian background. “Certainly anybody is welcome,” she said, adding,“The charm is sharing it in such a beautiful location, and it’s such a wonderful room to play in because of the acoustics.” • Tickets for the dinner and concert are $35, or for the concert only $15/$13. Call 604-664-1636 or go online to placedesarts.ca to save a seat. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Express rally to earn draw against Caps By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

Three-on-three hockey and even a penalty shot couldn’t separate the Coquitlam Express and Cowichan Valley Capital Saturday night. Th e E x p r e s s a n d Capitals fought to a 4-4 overtime tie in front of 1,300 fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. “It doesn’t happen very often, that’s for sure, especially with the three-onthree,” Express coach Barry Wolff said of Coquitlam’s first tie of the year. “ Fo r whatever reason, I thought Cowichan outplayed us in overtime. At least they got more shots, I don’t know if they were quality. We definitely had the chance to win it with the penalty shot.” A d a m R o c k wo o d was awarded the penalty shot with less than two minutes remaining in the second overtime. “He had him beat but he couldn’t get it upstairs. He had to go upstairs with it and he kind of caught a bunch of snow,” said Wolff. Cowichan’s Jarrett B row n o p e n e d t h e scoring with a shorthanded marker in the first period. Goals by Ryan Rosenthal and Joey Santucci gave the Express the lead but Mason Malkowich

Coquitlam’s Corey Mackin loses his feet as he tries to strip the puck from Jarrett Brown of the Cowichan Valley Capitals in Saturday night’s 4-4 draw at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. pulled the Capital even despite being outshot 19-8 in the period. “Their guy played real well in net,” Wolff

said of Cowichan goalie Robin Gusse, who turned aside 40 shots. “We did dominate

most of the game but they got a couple of chances and scored.” The Capitals jumped ahead 4-2 in the sec-

ond before Jace Hennig brought the Express back within one. Rosenthal’s second of the game tied things up

five minutes into the third period. “We battled back and tied it up but we just couldn’t pull it out,”

said Wolff, who was impressed with his team’s ability to battle back. “It’s just the character in the room and the mentality that we need to play 60 minutes. The game’s never over until that final whistle.” Gordie Defiel made 32 saves in the Coquitlam net and Wolff singled out the play of Rockwood, who finished the night with his league-leading 41st assist of the year. “I thought Rockwood played one of his best games of the year. He’s just so patient with the puck. He’s starting to figure out the defensive part of the game which is huge for him in his development,” said the coach. The Express curr e n t l y s i t i n t h i rd spot in the Mainland Division with 40 points in 38 games, eight back of Prince George. They make their way over the Coquihalla over the weekend, facing off against the West Ke l o w n a Wa r r i o r s Friday before taking on the Vernon Vipers Saturday. “It’s going to be two t o u g h g a m e s , We s t Kelowna is good and Vernon obviously is making the Royal Bank Cup run so they’ll be two tough games for us. We just have to play our game and make sure we’re strong defensively,” said Wolff. sports@tricitynews.com

Midgets strike gold at tourney The Coquitlam Chiefs A1 team mounted a third-period comeback to strike gold at the inaugural Coquitlam Midget AAA tournament on the weekend.

from Mitchell Ledyard and Sheldon Lai from Graydon Bradley handled the Port Coquitlam scoring. Maximilian Fritz, Ryan Sinkie and Max Corazza also supplied helpers for Coquitlam. Peninsula held off Port Moody A1 1-0 in a shootout in the AA final. Sheldon Stanley turned aside all the shots he faced in the Port Moody net until Koby Hale netted the
