Balanced budget – just – in school district MORE MONEY will School District 43 teachers be paid for working Sept. 19? See page A4
last school year budget plumped by strike savings By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS
Has School District 43 turned the corner on its finances? That’s the question
in the wake of news this week that the cashstrapped district — which cut $13.4 million in the spring to balance its budget for this school year — ended 2013/’14 in June with a balanced budget, albeit a knife-edged result that was plumped by strike savings. The district had been predicting a balanced
budget with a “bias” towards a small deficit, according to secretary treasurer Mark Ferrari, but when the year ended with rotating teacher strikes and a full-scale walkout, more than $6 million was left in the coffers, according to audited financial statements from the year end. Those strike savings
muddy the picture and it’s difficult to ascertain how well the district would have done without the work-stoppage. But Ferrari told the board that SD43 would have ended the year with a balanced budget even without the teachers’ strike. As for the $6-million surplus recorded in the financial statements,
it’s too soon to uncork the champagne as that money wasn’t around for very long. Some of it will be used to cover deferred costs from the last school year, including money for targeted programs such as aboriginal education, as well as EI and CPP and school supplies. Ferrari told the board that what’s left is about
$2 million, or 0.6% of SD43’s operating budget. Some of this money will be used to cover revenue losses during September’s work stoppage, such as rental fees of about $10,000 per day, and about $500,000 in losses due to the cancellation of summer school. see ‘UNDERFUNDING’, page A6

MOSSOM CREEK HATCHERY PROJECT
The Tri-City News is partnering with Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society on the rebuilding project for Mossom Creek Hatchery. Below is the latest in a year-long series of articles and advertisements...
Mossom construction racing against calendar for spawning Somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean, thousands of chum and coho salmon are making their way toward creeks and rivers along B.C.’s west coast. They are about to conclude a life cycle so critical to the province’s environmental well-being that the salmon are described as a keystone species. And for the fish headed for Mossom Creek in Port Moody, there will be a special welcome. Partway up the creek that starts in a wetland near Cypress Lake on Eagle Mountain and ends in Port Moody inlet, there is a flurry of activity. Daily, workers drive in and out of small clearing carrying pipes and steel, concrete and wood. Some even bring coffee and cranberry scones to support the workers and volunteers re-building a hatchery that burned down last December. Most of the funds for the building have been raised, with just $50,000 still needed for landscaping, furniture, technology and education materials. But even with most of the money at hand, there is a tight construction schedule to meet, and more money — up to $25,000 annually — needed to pay for electricity, septic maintenance, security and other costs to keep the hatchery running once it’s fully operational. With the fish on the way, the questions remain: Will the hatchery be ready on time? Will there be enough in the fundraising kitty to pay for everything? Those questions and more will be answered in coming months as The Tri-City News continues its year-long feature series on rebuilding the Mossom Creek Hatchery.

Above: BIMES vice-president George Assaf with Sandie Hollick-Kenyon, a Fisheries and Oceans community advisor, walk Mossom Creek to do a baseline study of spawning coho and chum salmon. The spawning season is nearing and hatchery volunteers want to get the new building in place so salmon eggs can be raised in the incubation room. Below: Mel Steemson and Pat Dennett get plumbing materials ready for the next stage of the Mossom Creek hatchery rebuild.
tailed document — with line after line of highlighted tasks — is posted on the wall. Is this a two-storey concrete fish hatchery and education centre he’s building or the Trump Tower? The former, of course, but there is so much work to do it might as well be a skyscraper. “It’s a huge undertaking. We have a lot to go into the ground before the slab is poured,”says the volunteer project
manager for the hatchery project, pointing out that remaining work includes installing drains, plumbing and electrical utilities, and then the gravel and insulation before Lafarge shows up with the concrete it’s donating. Then, more work must be done to put up a second floor so the incubation room is ready to take coho and chum salmon that will be stripped of their eggs, which will be stored in heath trays
wetted by pumped creek water and raised to create another generation of Mossom salmon. There is no question the volunteers with Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society, which operates Mossom, have a big job and a fastapproaching deadline to meet if they are to accomplish their goal to get the hatchery operational by November. Dennett says he has a back-up plan to raise the
salmon somewhere else this winter but would prefer not to put it in place. Still, listening to the rain pouring down, which sounds eerily like the four horses of the apocalypse on a menacing gallop, he says,“We’ve lost a day.” He is momentarily downcast.Thankfully, inside the warm construction trailer, there is hot Salt Spring Coffee along with homemade scones with butter. The comfort food takes
George Assaf is a Burnaby firefighter. But when he’s not at work, he’s volunteering for the Mossom Creek Hatchery. He loves both his jobs. On a couple of warm, sunny days last week, Assaf, another BIMES volunteer, and representatives from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation walked up the creek from Port Moody Inlet almost to East Road in Anmore. They were looking for adult spawners and, finding none, they knew they had a baseline to work on for future counts of coho and chum this spawning season. But it was during the arduous hike that Assaf learned just how hard the salmon have to work to return to their home creek to spawn. Some of the water was rough and volunteers had to step on the stones to avoid trampling on the redds, a spawning nest made by the salmon. “It’s a very tiring process, you burn off a lot of calories,”Assaf said of the spawning process. He and his colleagues poked into the dark and shady spaces in the creek looking for spawning salmon. And though they saw no spawners, they did see a lot of coho juveniles that had spawned naturally — a sign that Mossom is healthy and safe for fish, and that last December’s fire didn’t destroy everything. The weekly walks will continue throughout the spawning season, depending on the weather and how high the creek is flowing, and Assaf is looking forward to them. Learning about the salmon — where they hide and why they do what they do each year — is an unfolding mystery for Assaf, and he
can’t wait to get back to the creek. “It’s all fascinating science, really,”he said.“It’s extremely worth it.”

The rain continues to drum on the roof of the construction trailer but one volunteer is heading out into the downpour to sort the plumbing materials for the next stage of construction. Mel Steemson, a retired power engineer who joined the troupe of BIMES volunteers after hearing about the fire last year, is eager to get back to work. He lives just a short walk away from the hatchery and says the forested tramp each day to Mossom to help Dennett with the job is a way of giving back. “It keeps me out of trouble, or in trouble,”he jokes before slapping on his hard hat and heading out to the rain. There is no time to waste, said Ruth Foster, a retired School District 43 teacher who co-founded the hatchery with Rod MacVicar. Coho have already been seen nosing their way into nearby Noons Creek and the heavy rains will start bringing in the chum by the end of the month. As well, volunteers, including members of Centennial secondary’s Salmon Project Club, are set to collect salmon eggs from the Alouette River, which Mossom volunteers will raise in the incubation room if everything goes to plan. But outside the trailer, the rain-swollen creek roars like thunder, an urgent reminder that nature has its own plan. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Will teachers be paid? Board examining whether to pay for Sept. 19 By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS
School District 43 is seeking clarification from the BC Public S c h o o l E m p l oye r s ’ Association on whether SD43 teachers should be paid for their first day back to work on Sept. 19. The move comes after angry teachers filled the board of education meeting Tuesday night clamouring for what they said was a missed day’s pay. “The board is following up with a commitment to look in to it,” board chair Melissa Hyndes said. But as of Thursday, no further information was available as to whether the provincial agreement supersedes the locally bargained agreement that sets rules for how teachers are paid. According to SD43, the teachers’ collective agreement stipulates that teachers are paid a monthly salary based on 20 working days. Subtracting 13 days the teachers were on strike left Tri-City teachers with seven days pay on their cheques.
Mandarin at Scott Crk. A popular bilingual Mandarin program continues to grow in the Tri-Cities, with a new school being added to handle the student population. On Tuesday, the School District 43 board of education approved expanding the program, currently at Walton elementary school, to Scott Creek middle when this year’s crop of about 30 Grade 5 students at Walton are ready to graduate to the next level in September 2015. “This is a very sought-after program,”said assistant superintendent Sylvia Russell, noting three times as many students register for the program as can be accommodated. Currently, about 250 students in kindergarten to Grade 5 are learning in both English and Mandarin at Walton in a program modelled on a similar one in Edmonton. There is no extra charge for the program and is one of School District 43’s expanding roster of choice courses. Scott Creek is expected to be able to handle the additional students, most of whom live in the area, but some limits may have to be placed on cross-catchment and international students because 150 are expected to transition from Walton to middle school in the next four to five years. Gleneagle secondary is expected to be the high school for the Mandarin program.

See a related letter on page A12 But the teachers who showed up Sept. 19 to get classes ready for students say they should be paid for eight days. And Education Minister Peter Fassbender had said if BC Teachers’ Federation members ratified their
deal on Sept. 18, they would be paid starting on Sept. 19. “I’m just dumbfounded, to be perfectly h o n e s t ,” C o q u i t l a m Teachers’ Association president Charley King told trustees at the board meeting. He said
part-time teachers got paid for the day and the teachers’ deal reached with the province said teachers would be paid for that first day back to class. He said if that wasn’t the case, teachers should have been told. The district estimates paying the teachers for the day would cost about $850,000 including benefits, and Hyndes told The Tri-City News that if the provincial agreement does supplant the local collective agreement, she hopes the day’s pay will be covered by the province. “When the government says that the deal was fully funded, to me, then, it should be fully funded,”Hyndes said. Meanwhile, trustees have expressed concern about teachers not getting paid for Sept. 19, with Anmore/Belcarra trustee Holly Butterfield noting she was also contacted by upset teachers. Teachers have also been active on Twitter, expressing their displeasure or offering alternative suggestions. Noted one: “I believe I shouldn’t be paid for the 13 days we weren’t working but it’s kind of mean to deduct all of them from the 1st cheque.”

SD43 busy with upgrades The district also doesn’t know how much of the strike savings — if any — it will get to keep. Approximately 20% of June’s strike savings can be retained by the board but the province wants back all the money saved in September. In a letter to districts Sept. 12, the province said it wants a tally on strike savings and losses but is willing to work out deals with cash-strapped districts on a case-by-case basis. “It’s a little bit unclear as to how this will work out,” Ferrari told the board, adding that the finance department is still tallying up the numbers for an Oct. 17 report to the province. Meanwhile, trustees took aim at the province’s Temporary Education Support for Parents, a $40a-day payment to parents of children 12 and under to cover daycare costs during the strike. “We recognized their [parents’] hardship,” said Port Coquitlam Trustee Judy Shirra, “but that money belongs back in the classroom.” Coquitlam Trustee Gerri Wallis also complained the payment plan was decided without talking to school boards first. “We heard about it when the public heard about it,”she said. The board unanimously agreed to send a letter to Premier Christy Clark demanding that the money be returned to school districts. The board also plans to raise the issue of chronic underfunding because of an outdated financial formula. In a press release Thursday, SD43 said it managed to balance its budget last year but argued the public needs to focus on the formula that “perennially disadvantages the Coquitlam school district and, by extension, our students.” The balanced year end is a far cry from the 2012/’13 school year, when the school district finished with an $8-million deficit it has to pay back at $2 million per year. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Summer was a good time to upgrade schools and School District 43 took advantage of the situation, spending more than $3.6 million on projects to replace roofs and make buildings more energy efficient. Money from the province’s annual facilities grant paid for 40 flooring upgrades, including refinishing 17 gym floors, the board of education was told Tuesday. Among the larger projects are: • $1.5 million in roofing work at Cedar Drive, Hazel Trembath, Central, Meadowbrook, Parkland and Pleasantside elementary schools as well as at Dr. Charles Best secondary; • $1.1 million in boiler upgrades at Heritage Mountain secondary and Mountain Meadows, Panorama, Pinetree Way and Riverview Park elementary schools; • window replacements totalling $800,000 at Seaview, Cape Horn and Porter Street ele-

SEMESTER DAYS
Fewer school days owing to the teachers’ strike still adds up to a balanced semestered year for high school students in School District 43 thanks to some creative juggling and a rescheduling of provincial exams. On Tuesday, the board of education was informed that exams will be held Feb. 2 to 5, a week later than usual to balance the two semesters. As a result, the current semester will be 84 days long and semester two will be 83 days. The teachers’ dispute cut 14 school days out of the current semester. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

REImmersion is popular RE-REin School District 43 ELECT ELECT ELECT A8 Friday, October 3, 2014, Tri-City News
By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
A language program that started 46 years ago in Coquitlam — paving the way for other B.C. school districts — continues to be one of the strongest in the province. Canadian Parents for French’s B.C. and Yukon chapter this week released its annual report about French Immersion enrolment for the 2013/’14 school year and it notes School District 43 has one of the highest rates, with more than 10% of its student population in French immersion. CPF executive director Glyn Lewis credited SD43 staff and teachers for taking charge. “There seems to be strong leadership in the district in terms of extra-curricular and enriching the education experience,” he said. “I’m always hearing from Coquitlam parents about waiting lists.” French immersion started in SD43 in 1968 at Coquitlam’s Alderson elementary school with a group of 32 kindergarten students — most of them
Proportion of French immersion students last year in British Columbia school districts: • Maple Ridge: 10.1% • Coquitlam: 10.3% • Burnaby: 8.6% • Surrey: 4.6% • Vancouver: 9.1% • New Westminster: 12.7% • Langley: 7.2% • Richmond: 10.4% residents of Maillardville, the city’s historically French-Canadian enclave. Six years later, SD43 officially opened its early French immersion program but the Ministry of Education blocked it from expanding. After some lobbying, late French immersion began in 1978 and, by 1991, there were 2,667 students in the program, ranking the Coquitlam school district 13th in the country with the highest number of students.
Last year, more than 5,900 students were enrolled in French immersion in the Tri-Cities. SD43 assistant superintendent Sylvia Russell, who oversees the program and whose daughter was an immersion student, said SD43 has made strides over the past decade and, recently, added early immersion at Coquitlam’s Nestor elementary and late immersion at Moody middle. She said because of SD43’s long history with

French, by the nos.
French immersion, “there comes a real sense and pride and identity with that.” As well, with the district located close to Simon Fraser University, where many teachers are trained, several go to SD43 for their practicums “and so you will see access to high-quality teaching staff,” Russell said. Still, there remain challenges with attrition — that is, how to convince French immersion students to stay in the program at the high-school level — as well as space for expansion. “It takes a lot of classrooms to build a K-to-5 program.” Lewis said the CPF will work with SD43 — and other districts — to advocate for a bigger program. Nearly 50,000 B.C. students were enrolled in French immersion last year, accounting for 8.8% of the total public school student head count.

A
re homes in the Tri-Cities getting too big? That is the question Coquitlam council is grappling with after city staff put together a Large Homes Review. The issue: Mega homes are popping up across the city and dramatically changing the character of some neighbourhoods. And Coquitlam is not alone. Port Moody will hold public consultations on the mega homes issue later this month, following outrage from some residents earlier this year. Still, regulating new residential construction is more complicated than simply capping building heights and floor space. Council has to balance the rights of property owners with the desires of residents who have already established themselves in a neighbourhood. In some areas, like Westwood Plateau and Heritage Mountain, mega homes are the norm. In older communities, like southwest Coquitlam, some longtime residents are resistant to change. Cities also need to consider the fact that they cannot regulate against bad taste — one person’s view-blocking eyesore is another person’s dream home.

Cities, Christy & convention confrontation AS I SEE IT Frank Bucholtz
R
eports from the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Whistler last week sounded more like reports from a session of the provincial legislature. Much of that is undoubtedly posturing from a few municipal leaders who are striving to boost their images just two months before civic elections. Still, it was surprising just how much of the media coverage centred on diverse positions and even a few outright confrontations over issues ranging from BC Ferries’ fares and cutbacks to Kinder Morgan’s plans for a twinned oil pipeline and what Premier Christy Clark labelled“excessive”municipal spending. There was far more outright opposition to provincial government policies than is often seen in the B.C. legislature from opposition
MLAs. Part of that is undoubtedly due the fact that the legislature usually sits only once each year. This year is an exception, with a fall session set to begin next week. In thinking about some of the municipal opposition and the provincial issues local politicians were getting exercised about, it occurred to me that the Clark government may be setting itself up to be a“watch every expenditure” type of government — something that we really haven’t seen in this province since the days of premier W.A.C. Bennett. The constant push throughout the teachers’ strike was that the province wanted a negotiated settlement and it would not agree to a pay hike any different from those already settled. It got its way on both fronts. Clark appointed Peter Fassbender to the education minister’s position because she wanted someone who would be firm and not cave under pressure. That’s what he did. The transportation minister, Todd Stone, is under similar pressure on BC Ferries. He has

“It seemed that [Premier Christy Clark] may be daring the municipal leaders to keep overspending — and then she will bring down the hammer.” Frank Bucholtz shown no sign of caving, even an inch, despite a report on the severe economic impact that ferry fare hikes and cuts have caused. He really does have a heart of stone on the issue. Clark herself gave the best example of the government’s focus on spending when, in her keynote speech, she chided municipal leaders for the high wage settlements they have agreed to over the past decade. She didn’t open a bag of goodies but she did toss a few pointed barbs at civic leaders, who have
ramped up their spending dramatically in the past decade and still want the federal and provincial governments to hand over more cash. It seemed that she may be daring the municipal leaders to keep overspending — and then she will bring down the hammer. There is a precedent. School boards used to have a considerable amount of leeway in their spending and taxing authority. That power was taken away when a small number abused it. Boards now have almost no say over their total budgets. Municipalities are, at their heart, creatures of the provincial government. If Clark wants to be known as a premier who thinks about taxpayers first, she may wish to polish that reputation in a showdown with municipal leaders — some of whom consider themselves members, if not the real leaders, of Her Majesty’s loyal opposition. Frank Bucholtz is editor of The Langley Times, a Black Press sister newspaper of The Tri-City News.

FACE TO FACE: Should the voting age be lowered to 16 years?
Scots teens show lower age works I
n the 2011 municipal election, voter turnout in the Tri-Cities was simply embarrassing. Only 22% of eligible voters went to the polls in Coquitlam while 19% cast votes in Port Coquitlam and 27% in Port Moody. Unlike my colleague opposite, I’m not going to throw my arms up in the air and say“The heck with it.” I think we need aggressive solutions to counter this anti-democratic trend and one option is to lower the minimum voting age to 16 years. It has worked in other jurisdictions, most recently in Scotland. The Scots allowed 16- and 17-year-olds to register to vote in last month’s independence referendum and 109,533 of them did. According to reports, both the pro-union and pro-independence camps sent teacher-resource kits to schools, which in turn were used to organize in-class debates. It paid off: Students were engaged. Total voter turnout is pegged at approximately 85%, meaning that this demographic turned out in big numbers. And if they’re engaged at age 16, the theory is that they’ll vote in larger numbers in their 20s, 30s and beyond Currently, a 16-year-old can vote
— with no exceptions — in Austria, Nicaragua, Brazil and Ecuador. And according to experts, those examples prove that 16- and 17-year-olds are as competent to vote as young adults. “Results from Austria show that turnout of 16- and 17-year-olds is, in fact, higher than turnout of older first-time voters, and it is nearly as high as overall turnout,”Eva Zeglovits, from the University of Vienna, wrote for an online debate. “Moreover, although teenage voters are still less interested than adult voters, they are able to make an informed choice. The congruence between attitudes and the vote choice of teenage voters is comparable to adult voters. Austrian teenage voters seem to be mature enough to participate and to make a meaningful vote choice.” Over the past several years, the powers that be have tried get-outthe-vote campaigns, vote mobs and, in some jurisdictions, online voting as a means to increase turnout. Those ideas clearly haven’t worked. Lowering the minimum voting age to 16 is not a fix-all — we might still need mandatory voting or some form proportional representation — but, for the sake of democracy, isn’t it worth a shot?

Let kids avoid major decisions S
ixteen-year-olds shouldn’t be expected to vote. I know, lederhosen-clad Austrian 16-year-olds and their Brazilian counterparts vote, as do young teens on British islands named after cows (Jersey and Guernsey). And, of course, the participation of 16- and 17-year-olds in the recent Scottish referendum has emboldened the forces of teenie liberation. But just because 16- and 17-yearolds got a wee say in the Scottish “indy ref” doesn’t mean that Canadian 16-year-olds need electoral emancipation.The recent Scottish referendum was a one-off. It was probably appropriate to allow younger citizens a say on a single question affecting Scotland’s political configuration — and their futures. But while many 16-year-olds are intelligent and knowledgeable enough to vote, most are not developmentally ready for general suffrage. It’s not their fault, it’s a physiological thing. Their pre-frontal lobes are still developing. That’s the part of the brain that helps them see how their behaviour affects others. It’s the lobe that develops social conscience and helps with impulse control. That’s a lot for them to absorb and learn, and 16-year-olds are developing this part of their brain at various
speeds and with various levels of success. They need time to do this, to develop as their own person, not just an appendage of their parents. They need to be able to make a few boneheaded decisions in a gentle, nonconfrontational milieu. They don’t need to be rushed into adult stresses like mortgages, highstakes competition or partisan politics. They need to strain at the leash at their own pace — to gossip, break curfew and listen to loud music (which stimulates development of their frontal lobe). My faux progressive colleague says that by lowering the voting age and enlarging an already indifferent group of young voters, we’ll boost voter turnout. We won’t. Unless we offer free Slurpees at polling places. Insisting that 16-year-olds vote isn’t the next, inevitable imperative of the digital age, it’s more like enrolling your five-year-old in a child beauty pageant. Leave them alone, let them mature on their own timetable and with our support instead of constantly hectoring them to be adults. Not only are most 16-year-olds not screaming for the vote, they never will — unless someone tells them they can’t have it.

China fights democracy and sD43 collects money The Editor, As Chinese authorities continue to expel more and more missionaries — and repress the prodemocracy movement in Hong Kong — School District 43 continues to recruit more students from China, who prefer the Coquitlam area because of the district’s dubious partnership with the Confucius Institute, which receives its mandate from authoritarian Beijing. Given chronic underfunding in the B.C. public school system, our school districts have come to depend on these overseas students, which means that SD43 is becoming financially addicted to its affiliation with the Confucius Institute — and its role in the EnglishMandarin bilingual classes. It is a partnership with no foreseeable end. But is
it also problematic for a few school board trustees? The Tri-City News reported last December: “During 2012/’13, the Chinese government paid for the SD43 board chair Melissa Hyndes and trustees Holly Butterfield (Anmore/Belcarra) and Keith Watkins (Port Moody) to visit the country as part of the district’s international education outreach. The trip cost about $9,000 [each] but no provincial funds were spent on travel expenses.” Our school trustees are supposed to be Canadian public officials. Yet three of them were given “all-expense paid” trips to China courtesy of its government, all while SD43 holds a partnership with the Confucius Institute, which also contributes to the cost of Mandarin instruction at the Walton elementary school in Coquitlam.
Can the China trips be perceived as a form of conflict of interest? Certainly it is a problem of accepting extra benefits. In the B.C. legislature, “a member must not accept a fee, gift or personal benefit” so why should public school trustees be the exception? And how much do trips to China shape SD43’s relationship with the Confucius Institute? And what about funding priorities and the truly massive budget cuts? Do the trips not look excessive in light of every middle school student in SD43 now forced to go the year without a cafeteria? So it appears the Canadian state, assisted by a few public school trustees at SD43, is contributing to the moral disarmament of our society as China becomes a singleparty superpower.

3 more Fraser hospitals are to run screening for ebola Three more people have declared their intentions to run in the Nov. 15 civic elections locally:
POCO: WEST
A Port Coquitlam council incumbent said this week he’ll seek a third term in office. Brad West was the youngest-ever candidate elected in PoCo in 2008 and, three years later, he topped the polls with 5,219 votes. If re-elected, West said he will bring a “strong, experienced voice” to council and promises fiscal responsibility at city hall as well as affordable living for residents. Currently, West is a member of the city’s Healthy Community, Finance and Intergovernmental, and Transportation Solutions and Public Works committees.
COQ.: SHEN
A Coquitlam resident who ran unsuccessfully for council in the last two city elections will try again for a civic seat. Andy Shen announced his intention to run for Coquitlam council. In 2011, Shen placed 13th out of 16 candidates with 4,071 votes. A graduate of Archbishop Carney regional s e c o n d a ry i n Po r t Coquitlam, Shen is studying criminology and political science at SFU and works for a Vancouver Conservative MP; he has also served on the city’s multiculturalism advisory committee. If elected, Shen promises to make city hall “more efficient and fiscally responsible” by lowering taxes and having more expense disclosures. Emergency services, infrastructure and local jobs are also top of mind for him.
PM: VAGRAMOV
Robert Vagramov has announced he intends to run for a seat on Port Moody council in the Nov. 15 election. Vagramov, who ran unsuccessfully in the 2011 election, said it’s a “critical time” for Port Moody. “The Evergreen SkyTrain line will be the driving force behind the development of our city for the next decade,” he said in a press release. “I’m here to make sure we preserve what we love about Port Moody.” He intends to focus on “stopping the record property tax increases,” increasing voter turnout and preventing PoMo’s “Metrotownification.” Vagramov is involved with the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program and the Port Moody Sailing Club, as well as the OneLove youth charity show.
that we’re going to see people who have been to that part of the world who have a fever.” Provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall has also predicted B.C. may see a few cases of ebola arrive from Africa, similar to the first confirmed ebola case in the U.S. that was announced Tuesday in Texas. “Given the size of the outbreak in west Africa and given how easily people travel around the globe, it is certainly possible that we will see a real case at some point,”Brodkin added. “The risk to British Columbians is extremely low. Even if a true case actually arrives I have every confidence that that case will be quickly isolated and managed in a way that means there would be no secondary spread or outbreak in British Columbia.” All patients who arrive at Fraser hospital emergency departments with a fever are being asked about their travel history and they’re taken to isolation areas for further

Fraser Health officials are confident they’ll be able to safely isolate any ebola patient that arrives in the region at Surrey Memorial Hospital and prevent any secondary spread of the disease ravaging West Africa. Health care workers in the region have already intercepted a number of suspected ebola cases but then ruled them out following secondary screening, said Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, Fraser’s executive medical director for infection prevention and control. Those patients weren’t tested because it was determined from their answers to questions that they had not been to the specific areas where the virus is circulating. “We obviously had no confirmed cases but we did have a number we had to evaluate,” Brodkin said. “Half a dozen perhaps so far. People come back to Canada from Africa every day. So it’s really inevitable
secondary questioning if they indicate they’ve been in west Africa in the last 21 days — ebola’s incubation period. The virus can only be through direct contact with bodily fluids of a patient who has symptoms. Asked why Surrey Memorial was chosen as the potential regional containment site, Brodkin said the new critical care tower there has state-of-theart infection control. “We can safely isolate any patient in a room in that tower and be able to provide care to them while at the same time protecting the health care workers who are looking after them and other patients who may be on the unit or in the tower.” She said the ability to quickly diagnose cases and, in particular, to safely isolate them is what is missing in Africa, fuelling the ebola outbreak there. The deadly virus has killed more than 3,200 people in West Africa – close to half of those who contract it. jnagel@blackpress.ca

‘It’s a beautiful day,’ says Eileen Mohan continued from front page
They were also found guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths of Lal and his brother Michael, Eddie Narong, Ryan Bartolomeo and innocent victims Ed Schellenberg and Christopher Mohan. Mohan’s mom Eileen Mohan — who attended most of the trial since it began last fall — was all smiles following the guilty decisions. “It’s a beautiful day,” she said. “It’s a beautiful day for Christopher. “I’ve been waiting for seven years for this day and it has come. I am relieved and I know my son is smiling down today.” Christopher Mohan, 22, lived with his mom in a Whalley apartment unit next to the one where the murders occurred on Oct. 19, 2007 and was headed out to a basketball game with friends when he was pulled into the death suite. Schellenberg was a gas fitter from Abbotsford who happened to be servicing fireplaces in the Balmoral Tower that day. The other four young men had links to the drug trade and were visiting apartment 1505,

Schellenberg’s wife Lois, as well as family and friends, attended court Thursday but did not speak to media. Friends and family of the other victims were also in attendance, as were supporters of the killers. The nine-month trial of Haevischer and Johnston began last September and 73 witnesses were called during more than 80 days of testimony. The Crown’s theory in the Surrey Six case was that Haevischer, Johnston and a man who can only be identified as Person X — all Red Scorpion gang members — carried out the murders, prompted by no-
torious gangster Jamie Bacon, who wanted rival drug dealer Corey Lal dead. The other five, the Crown said, were shot to death to eliminate any possible witnesses. The court heard planning for the killing of Lal took place at meeting spots in the Tri-Cities, including a Port Coquitlam gym on the morning of the murders. Justice Wedge said she accepted beyond a reasonable doubt that both men conspired to kill and carried out the murder of Corey Lal. She said though they might not have showed up at the apartment to kill the other five men but that’s what happened. She said Haevischer, Johnston and the third man were

in the suite for 15 minutes before they killed all six. They divided the six into two groups of three and shot them “carefully and with precision” while they lay face down on the floor, she said. “Once the victims were in a submissive position, the perpetrators could easily have left the suite without killing them but they decided against that option. Instead, they shot each of them,”Wedge said. A third accused, Mike Le, who co-founded the Red Scorpion gang with Bacon, was initially on trial alongside Haevischer and Johnston but, in December, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder Corey Lal and was sentenced to spend a further three years in jail. (He had spent about four-and-a-half years
prior). He then testified against his former gang mates, telling the court both of the accused told him about the murders shortly after they took place. In her decision, Wedge said she didn’t buy the testimony of Le as it was tainted by the fact he had a plea deal with the Crown. The trial opened last year with graphic photos of the crime scene showing the victims lying dead with hoods over their heads. During emotional testimony, the former manager of the apartment building recounted looking for Schellenberg and entering suite 1505 to find six bodies on the bloodied floor. There was also testimony from a woman who attended a Bible study session with friends in the building
that afternoon and saw suspicious men wearing black leather gloves and hooded jackets in the parkade. Haevischer’s former girlfriend, who can only be identified as KM, also took the stand, saying she helped clean guns and bullets at the apartment the two shared shortly before the slaughter. KM, an admitted gangster herself, said Haevischer and Johnston returned later with garbage bags filled with cash and cellphones. She testified she helped count the money while Haevischer boiled the phones in a pot of water on the stove. She saw Haevischer write a note to his brother that said “people died,”she said. Other former drug dealers and gangsters testified in the case earlier this year. One, identified only as Person Y, is an admitted two-time murderer currently serving a life sentence who said Johnston told him about the murders right after they occurred, holding up six fingers — indicating the number of people killed — as they spoke in a car. Person Y said he couldn’t live with the fact two innocent people were killed and eventually decided to work as a police informant, wear-

ing wire taps during meetings with his former fellow gangsters. Wedge said she accepted Y’s testimony, even though, like others, he’s considered an“unsavoury”witness. Crown prosecutor Mark Levitz thanked the victims’ families, police and media after the guilty decisions. Haevischer and Johnston have filed an abuse of process application with the courts but the Crown declined to comment on that. Person X pleaded guilty in 2009 to three counts of second-degree murder in connection to the slaughter. Bacon is slated be tried separately in May on one count each of conspiracy to commit murder and the firstdegree murder of Lal. Three new charges were also laid against Bacon in July in relation to an alleged plot to kill Person X. Another man, Sophon Sek, is also awaiting trial in the Surrey Six case, on a charge of manslaughter. The sentence for firstdegree murder is a mandatory life sentence with no eligibility for parole for 25 years. sreynolds@surreyleader.com @sheilaleader – with files from Vikki Hopes

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
www.tricitynews.com
For a Safe Community...
Working smoke alarms save lives. Test yours every month! F
ire Prevention Week is coming up, and this year Fire Prevention Canada and the Canada Safety Council are reminding us that every home should be protected with working smoke alarms. Many fire fatalities occur at night, when people are sleeping and fail to notice smoke as an indication of fire in their home. If there is no alarm to wake them, they will literally never know what hit them. One of the great frustrations of firefighters everywhere is to see home smoke alarms disarmed or removed from their ceiling anchors. As the Canada Safety Council says, “Adead unit is worse than none at all —it can give you a false sense of security.” Whether your home smoke alarms are powered by batteries or your home’s electrical system, make sure they are updated every 10 years, tested monthly, and outfitted with fresh batteries on a yearly basis. WHY IS MY SMOKE ALARM SO FUSSY?

TRI-CITY SPOTLIGHT: Lotto winner to pay off her mortgage, grants for five Tri-City artists

Three Tri-City high school graduates are among 35 B.C. students who have won accolades from Coast Capital Savings credit union for their post-secondary studies. And Coquitlam’s Courtney Bains, who has a hearing challenge, earned the Standing Tall Award worth $5,000 along with another local, unidentified student. Bains plans to study business at Douglas College this fall, with the aim to work in public relations. Coquitlam resident Zaki Jiwa, who took the $2,000 Citizenship Award, plans to study marketing management at BCIT.
Coquitlam’s Joanna Szpakowski is now $1 million richer after winning a Maxmillion prize last month. The hockey mom checked her LottoMax ticket with a machine and when she saw she won $1,000, Szpakowski texted her husband who then joked back, “Are you sure there aren’t more zeros in that amount? Maybe you made a mistake.” Indeed, when Szpakowski handed the ticket to the retailer to validate it, she was told it was worth $1 million. Szpakowski plans to pay off her mortgage and save the rest, according to a BCLC release.

Coquitlam is one of four Metro Vancouver school districts to be included in the expanded Chevron’s Fuel Your School program this year. The company announced this week that Coquitlam, Burnaby, North Vancouver and West Vancouver will join Surrey to receive up to $565,000 combined for science, technology, engi-
neering and math programs. Last year, 105 Surrey schools got more than $200,000 from Chevron and My Class Needs, a Canadian charity. The money is raised in November, when Chevron donates $1 per 30 litres or more from customer sales at the gasoline pump. Please send Spotlight press releases and photos to jwarren@tricitynew.com

A bit of beauty has been created next to the Port Moody Station Museum. This summer a group of volunteers — including Linda Moncur (pictured), Peter Hiebert and Port Moody Station Museum curator Jim Millar — created a meditation garden. The garden is on the west end of the property, next to a WW-1 era trench that is being dug as part of an educational exhibit for students about Canada’s involvement in the First World War.

BC Arts Council grants totalling nearly $30,000 were handed out last month to five talented Tri-City residents. Gleneagle secondary graduate Jennifer Gillis (above) and Kitsum Cheng, Nicole Ward, Paige M Smith and Cierra Munro each received $5,900 from the provincial organization. They are among 257 artists and art groups who won the funding.

mid-range torque making the Mustang accelerate easily and it passes well on the highway. There isn’t the classic V8 rumble but this compromise is easy to take, knowing that this model has plenty of power for the average daily commuter. The true muscle car enthusiast will be attracted to the 435hp 5.0L V8. Power goes through either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The big change to the chassis is the introduction of an independent rear suspension and modified front suspension, plus bigger brakes. Carving through the canyons outside of L.A. was a treat, the platform is very forgiving and there is no longer any unstable mid-corner surprises found in the older cars, just a very sure-footed modern car. Verdict 50 years is a long time to continually produce a single car model. What comes out of this is a cumulative result that is
hard to beat. The engineers have done a great job of bringing the suspension into the modern world and the new EcoBoost engine will be very popular, once people try it. The old-school buyers will be attracted to the meaty V8 but often, sensible decisions prevail and the EcoBoost is a solid experience. The styling is stunning, inside and out. To be blunt, this car will be a homerun for Ford. There are two things I’d like to see improved. The seat back has no electric actuation, which means getting the right spot is hard to achieve. The second is the suspension in the GT can be a bit bouncy over city conditions but settles right down at highway speeds – pretty minor stuff for an all-new car.

Three red peppers and a bright red roadster Judging by the number of people who stop to chat to members of the Driveway team in the supermarket, most of you still rely on newspapers like this one to help narrow down your next-car shortlist. Total strangers often boldly approach us in the veggies’ section to ask what car they should buy next. After a few questions about what their budget is and how they will use the vehicle, we can usually give them five products to consider. I should add, that lead reviewer Zack Spencer fields most questions in airport lounges across the country! Next to house buying, it’s generally a family’s second largest purchase made so it should be no surprise that people want to seek advice. We learned earlier this year, that polling revealed that our readers will spend a staggering $3.6 billion on new cars in the next year and another $1.69 million on used cars or preowned,

if we are to be sensitive to the feelings of those vehicles with a few kilometres on their clock! It’s true there are so many electronic ways now available to do that basic research but while the internet and social media play an important role in your car selection, auto writers romance you in print over the months leading up to you signing on the dotted line. We bring you news of the
latest products and test drive as many of them as we can for you. What has changed dramatically in recent years is the way we present that information. For many years, automotive sections were a strictly male domain and we thought that all we needed to do was make a few remarks about a subject car’s handling, print some pictures then list its specifications. Pretty boring, really, unless you are a car nut. Now there is solid research that reveals that women play a major role in the purchase decisions made in around 80 percent of car sales. And it’s obvious that most males really do not spend their days trolling automotive websites, as some would have us believe. Some men will even admit they really don’t know that much about cars. I know, say it ain’t so. For the aforementioned reasons, we at Driveway try to bring you stories about, or
involving cars, that are of a broader interest. Whenever possible, we bring your lifestyle-oriented stories that may involve, travel, fashion and even music that speak to regular folks. Just one example. Who could resist reading recently about Alexandra Straub’s about her drive in an Audi from Munich to Budapest, just to have a home-cooked meal with her grandparents. Judging by the response, not many! We even included the menu and recipe. In the coming year, we will continue to share such stories with you, to entertain you and inform you. And we want to hear your stories about your road trips, your favourite cars and what you would like to read more about in Driveway. Please don’t hesitate to drop me a line or stop me in the meat section of the supermarket, which is more likely where you will find me. keith.morgan @drivewaybc.ca
Car tips your parents should have taught you We’re not always around a fully stocked garage, auto parts store or tool chest when the need arises to save the day with a big repair. Sometimes, when you have a breakdown you’ve got to go with what falls readily to hand, whether it’s duct tape, J-B Weld or a coat hanger. Here are some stories of some truly epic improvised repairs: Dormitory parking lot transmission repair: Rory Carroll is now the executive editor of Autoweek magazine. While at Michigan State University, he was foolish enough to loan his 1991 VW Golf GTI to a fellow
by Rob Sass
student the day before he was supposed to make the three-hour drive home to Traverse City, Mich. “When he returned the keys to me, he told me that the car had made a loud noise when he›d parked it.” Carroll found the GTI in the dorm parking lot sitting in a pool of oil, with two chunks of transaxle case lying in it.
Carroll bought some J-B Weld and four quarts of transaxle oil. He cleaned the pieces of the transaxle case in his dorm room sink, mixed the J-B Weld and drove the Golf up onto the curb to get at the transaxle. He pushed the metal fragments and J-B Weld into place, wedged them in with a piece of wood and waited a few hours before refilling the transaxle with oil and hitting the road — into the jaws of a winter storm. For more repair stories, including the one about the blown head gasket in a ’93 Dodge Shadow (above) at LeMons, go to drivewaybc.ca.

Pilates biz offers free classes to local mastectomy patients By Sarah Payne
Come to the tri-Cities Volunteerfest
The Tri-CiTy News
A new pilates studio in Port Coquitlam is shaping up to offer postmastectomy patients free classes throughout the month of October. V Pilates owner Mona Valdes, who was an emergency-room doctor in Indonesia and the Philippines before moving to Coquitlam two years ago, is hoping to help women regain mobility after surgery through what she’s calling Pink Ribbon Plus. “The exercise is so gentle for mastectomy patients, you can spend the whole time lying down,” she said of the specialized classes, which will be offered Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout October. “I really want this program to reach as many people as possible.” Valdes said many women who have had a partial or double mastectomy experience tight chest muscles and skin after their surgery. Lymphedema, or swelling, is also a common complaint that Valdes said can be helped through the low-impact nature of pilates.
25 local community organizations will be at Coquitlam Centre to talk to you about how to volunteer. From helping kids succeed to supporting seniors in their homes to keeping our environment healthy, volunteering is how YOU can make a difference in your community.

Va l d e s ’ a d o p t i v e mother suffered from breast cancer and had a partial mastectomy; she passed away in 1984. “After her operation, she was lying down, nothing was done and her arms were swollen because of lymphedema,” Valdes recalled. “At that time, movement was not a big thing so after the operation, she was at rest most of the time. It was very debilitating, it made it worse for her. “Now, people are generally told to start moving right away, with their
Ghost Town Day focus ioco townsite history You can join in an old-fashioned fall family fair when the Port Moody Heritage Society hosts its 13th annual Ioco Ghost Town Day this Sunday. The Oct. 5 event runs from noon to 4 p.m. at the old Ioco town site at the corner of Ioco Road and First Avenue, and celebrates the rich history of the Ioco townsite. Among the activities will be a Race for History, entertainment, a best-dressed pet parade, the crowning of a festival prince and princess, plus pony rides, a Model A car show and plenty of family games and activities. The Kinsmen are assisting this year with a concession on wheels. Ioco United Church is providing tours throughout the event and this year there will be a popup museum that further celebrates the history of the townsite with displays and artifacts. Call 604-939-1648 for information on this free community event. As well, donations are greatly appreciated. For more information visit www.portmoodymuseum.org or email info@portmoodymuseum.org.
physician’s clearance, to maintain strength and to regain basic movement, to stretch their shoulders.” Valdes’ post-mastectomy classes are limited to four women at a time because she’ll be using the Reformer and Tower trainers — but she urges women not to be intimidated by the machines. “The exercises are really based on what is needed for post-mastectomy individuals,” she said. “It’s a lot of stretching, a lot of body awareness.

Heart and Soul conference on Oct. 18 aimed at women Port Moody event showcases talk and leadership

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
A Port Moody mom is organizing an evening of inspiration — one she hopes that young women will attend and learn from. “I’m finding there’s a lot of women in our community who need something to look up to,” said Tara McIntosh, who is reviving the women’s Heart and Soul Conference after a five-year hiatus. This year’s event will run on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 4 to 10 p.m. McIntosh, whose two sons have grown up in the meantime and need less of her time, said she
TARA MCINTOSH is responding to demand in the Tri-Cities for an evening of fun and learning. “The whole point is to bring women together,” said McIntosh, who has invited Tamara Taggart, an anchor with CTV News, Pia Shandel, media specialist and astrologist Georgia Nichols to speak on topics important to them and other women.
There will also be a variety of exhibitors, wine and cheese, and an awards presentation to three dynamic women who all deserve recognition, McIntosh said. She said the event will not only showcase women who are leaders in the community but will present an opportunity for honest dialogue. “It’s getting real and talking about things that women go through,” she said.
Tickets for the Heart and Soul Conference cost $35 and available online at www.tricitywomensconference.com or at several local businesses: Oxygen Yoga in Port Coquitlam; Gallery Bistro in Port Moody; Veracis Meditation and Wellness in Port Moody; Innovative Mortgage Solutions in Coquitlam; and Caydance Studio in Port Coquitlam. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Giving thanks for good & plentiful food at markets MARKET FRESH Karen Curtis Baking, produce, spices and more
A
s I sit at my computer writing this, I am looking out the window at the pouring rain. Welcome to fall. After a spectacular summer, the rain is coming as a bit of a shock to the system. The longterm forecast is all over the place, making farmers’ market managers and vendors a bit cuckoo as they try to plan. But regardless of what the weather is doing, rest assured that the markets will be in full swing, loaded with the bounty that we are so blessed to have. And blessings are what this column is all about. Every Thanksgiving, I like to give thanks for the wonderful markets we have in the Tri-Cities. I am especially thankful for all the citizens who support our markets. Whether you come once a month or twice a week, it is you who make the markets rock.Your support for and belief in local, sustainable food is what drives us, the vendors, to bring you the best of our work every week.You are the superstars who drive the local economy and vote with your pocketbook, and for that I thank you. The vendors at market
are such a special bunch. We really are like family. Every week I can count on the support and assistance of my fellow vendors. We help each other set up, watch each other’s stalls, share our bounty and give advice — lots of advice. We have rejoiced in each other’s triumphs and shared in each other’s sorrows. I am so thankful for each and every one of you. Of course, the markets wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the food. I am incredibly thankful that we live in an area that can provide us with virtually everything we need to build strong, healthy bodies. I have said it before: There is nothing better than fresh food grown close to home. Our markets have it all.You can choose conventional produce, organic produce, standard, regular produce or unique heirloom varieties. Beef, chicken, pork, seafood; it’s all there too. Then there is the baking plus the jams and jellies, the sauces, spices and relishes. I am so grateful for the vendors who choose to make non-food products too. It comforts me to know that my skin care and cleaning supplies are good-for-the-Earth choices. The gifts I choose to buy at market are often made from upcycled materials. My most sincere thanks to the staff and volunteers who run our markets.You work tirelessly on our behalf every week to ensure a phenomenal experience

Thanksgiving soon: Time to try brining!
Save up to $1018.00
I shared this recipe a couple of years ago, but it really is worth repeating. Take a leap of faith and try brining your turkey before you roast it. A brine is basically a salt bath. Soaking the turkey for 12 to 24 hours in a pail of flavoured salt water will give you the moistest, most flavourful turkey and gravy you have ever had — I promise.
TURKEY BRINE (for a 10–15 lb. turkey) 1 cup fresh lemon juice 1 cup fresh orange juice 1 cup salt 1 chopped onion 2 tbsp chopped fresh garlic 1 tbsp chilli powder 1 tbsp ground cumin ½ tsp fresh oregano (or other herb) 1 gallon water
Combine all ingredients in a large, non-metal bowl or pail, and stir until salt is dissolved. Rinse turkey and place in the container with the brine. Let it soak for 12 to 24 hours. Remove turkey from brine, pat dry and roast in your usual fashion. for vendors and customers alike. So, from my family to yours, may you have a delightful Thanksgiving next weekend, one rich in gratitude and blessings.

Appia’s SOLO District rises among the clouds in Burnaby By Kerry Vital
Appia Developments’ SOLO District is heading into fall and continuing construction on the first tower, Stratus, and Burnaby’s first Whole Foods. The second tower, Altus, has recently begun sales and will soon rise as the tallest tower in Burnaby. When it’s complete, SOLO District will comprise four beautiful residential towers with over 1,400 homes and tons of
retail and other commercial space. “People are embracing the community concept,” says Lisa Murrell, sales and marketing manager for Appia. “Everything about SOLO District is about quality, from the retailers to the suites themselves.” In addition to Whole Foods, SOLO District will welcome Shoppers Drug Mart, a Signature BC Liquor Store, Uncle Fatih’s pizza, Stripped wax bar, and Ricky’s All-Day-Grill.

Burnaby’s Brentwood neighbourhood is becoming one of the top places to live in the Lower Mainland. Developers such as Bosa Developments, Appia Developments, Shape Properties and Concord Pacific are all building in the area.
Playing and living in Brentwood By Kerry Vital
Burnaby’s Brentwood neighbourhood is a rapidly growing region, with plenty of opportunities for shopping, dining, education and recreation, from golf courses to rowing to swimming. With new homes popping up every year, the area is an exciting place to live and is becoming a major urban centre. Brentwood is about 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver via SkyTrain, and about 30 minutes from the Vancouver International Airport. This contributes to the popularity of the neighbourhood with
young professionals who commute to work. Among the developers who are building in the neighbourhood are Appia Developments, Ledingham McAllister, Concord Pacific, Bosa Development, Shape Properties and Embassy Developments. Brentwood is full of opportunities for education, from preschool to post-secondary. The largest institution is Simon Fraser University, just a few minutes from the centre of Brentwood on Burnaby Mountain. Rated as one of Canada’s top three comprehensive universities for almost 20 years running, SFU is home to approximately 32,000 students and about 2,500 faculty and staff. The British Columbia Institute of Technology also has its main campus in Burnaby. Established in 1964, it was the first permanent trade school of its kind in B.C., and includes courses in business, information technology and engineering, among other disciplines.
It is hard to be bored in Brentwood, with its selection of parks, art galleries, museums and theatres, among other activities. If it’s a bit of culture you’re looking for, you can start up on Burnaby Mountain at the Simon Fraser University Art Gallery. It’s open to the public free of charge and the displays change every few months. SFU also houses the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, which showcases artifacts from around the world, with a focus on British Columbia. There are several parks in Burnaby, so outdoor activity is never far away. Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park includes a dog off-leash area, the Burnaby Sports Complex, the Burnaby Equestrian Centre and several walking and cycling trails. The lake itself has a rowing course for canoeing, kayaking and rowing training. Confederation Park is also an activity hub, with walking trails, a skate park, a lacrosse
box, a running track, a community centre, several picnic sites and playgrounds, baseball diamonds and other playing fields. It’s also home to the McGill branch of the Burnaby Public Library and the Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre. Brentwood is a well-connected neighbourhood, with several options for public transportation, walking or cycling if you feel like leaving your car behind. Because it’s nearly the centre of Metro Vancouver, it is easy to get on your way, whatever way you choose. Among the transit possibilities are SkyTrain and several bus routes. Your first stop for some retail therapy is Brentwood Town Centre, located in the centre of Brentwood and well-served by transit, including its own SkyTrain station. With a variety of shops, you’ll be able to do much of your browsing in one spot. Brentwood is a cook’s dream, with stores such as Bosa Foods, famous for amazing Italian imports, and Cioffi’s Meat Market and Deli. Grocery stores such as Safeway and Save-On Foods are also in the area.

SOLO District to be a ‘complete community’ CONTINUED FROM HOME FRONT
And to service both residents and office personnel, Dr. Danial Deheshi and his staff will be moving to SOLO District Dental next year, and an outlet of the B.C. Automobile Association will also call SOLO District home. SOLO District, which stands for South of Lougheed, is a complete community with a balanced mix of office, retail and green space, as well as gorgeous homes. Walkability will be an integral part of the neighbourhood via pedestrian-friendly paths. The towers at SOLO District will soon become an iconic part of the Burnaby skyline. Altus will be the equivalent of 55 storeys tall, with homes starting from 200 feet up and office space below. “The views will start from the first residential floor,” says Murrell. Altus will also house Club 55, an enormous amenity space with a barbecue area, full kitchen, media area, billiards and pingpong tables and generous outdoor deck space for residents. All of this will be located on the top floor of the tower. A quieter retreat for residents will be located on the roof deck of the 15th floor. The office tower will include a well-appointed gym that residents have access to as well, and a unique outdoor multi-sport court on the third floor. The homes themselves feature imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry and polished quartz slab countertops in the kitchens and bathrooms, along with wood laminate flooring in the living areas, stainless-steel appliances and nine-foot ceilings. Two of the appliances will be powered by natural gas, decreasing cost and saving time for the homeowner. The bathrooms also have luxurious soaker tubs (with an enclosed glass shower in some ensuites) and large porcelain floor tiles and wall tile tub surround. Appia is owned by Jim Bosa, son of Lower Mainland real estate icon Nat Bosa. The Bosa name is well-known for great value, customer service and amazing homes, and Murrell says this has contributed to the project’s popularity. Buyers have also been impressed by how involved the developer is and the sheer scale and quality of the homes and community. SOLO District is perfectly situated for transit, shopping, education and leisure activities. The Brentwood Skytrain station is just steps away, along with Brentwood Town Centre. Golf courses, parks, schools and fitness facilities are also nearby. “People will be hard-pressed to find a more complete community of this calibre,” says Murrell. Homes at SOLO District start in the low-$300,000s. For more information, visit www.solodistrict.com, call 604298-8800 or visit the presentation centre at 2131 Willingdon Avenue, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Panthers lose to Wolf Pack, still looking for first win By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy NeWs
After seven games in the Pacific Junior Hockey League season the Port Moody Panthers are still looking for their first win. The team has struggled offensively, losing its latest outing to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack in an 8-1 drubbing at the Harry Jerome Arena. The loss came two d ay s a f t e r f a l l i n g 6-1 to the Richmond Sockeyes on the road, in game that saw the team register 27 shots. Richmond opened the scoring Monday night with a power play marker from mac Colasimone, before Sockeyes skater Daniel Oakley made it 2-0. Troy Kacynski was named first star of the game for his two goal perfoance — one in the second and another in the third — while Charles Young a n d Ty l e r Pat e rs o n also managed to score on Port Moody goalie Spencer Kozlowski. Only Adam Rota was able to score for the Cats on Monday when he buried a pass from line mate Stefano Centanni with two minutes left in the second period. Port Moody managed to score a few goals during Saturday’s outing at the Port Moody Arena against the Grandview Steelers, but the final result was still the same. The Steelers opened the scoring on the power play with a goal from Lucas Mercer, but Port Moody quickly evened the score with a marker from Evan Gain. see PanThERS, page 42

Coquitlam Express forward Corey Mackin takes a spill at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex during a 5-3 defeat to the Prince George Spruce Kings Friday night. The team would avenge the loss 24-hours later, defeating the Spruce Kings on Saturday by a score of 3-2.
Express fall to Warriors in OT Team has one win in five games By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy NeWs
The Coquitlam Express are off to slow start so far this BCHL season but managed to come away with the single point during Tuesday night’s bout against the West Kelowna Warriors. The Coquitlam club is currently in the middle of the pack with a 1-3-1 record, good enough for third place in the Mainland Division, behind the 4-1 Prince George Spruce
Kings. We s t Kelowna struck f i r s t at the Po i r i e r S p o r t KErFooT a n d Leisure Complex Tuesday night, when Jason Cotton scored on the power play just over one minute into the game. Colton Kerfoot managed to tie things up for the home team, before Daniel Fritz made it 2-1 for the Express with a power play marker of his own. He added his second goal of the game with the
man-advantage in the second period before Brett Supinski scored unassisted and Corey Mackin made it 5-2 for the Express midway through the middle frame. But the visitors were undeterred. Ryan Ivey scored West Kelowna’s third goal of the game and Jonathan Desbiens tied things up with two unanswered goals seven minutes apart in the third period. Brett Minnear potted the game-winner in overtime to notch the 6-5 win for Kelowna. Coquitlam was victorious in another close
game last Saturday against the Prince George Spruce Kings at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Despite the fact the visitors took the lead in the opening period with a goal from Braiden Epp, Mackin and Owen Stout notched a goal each to turn things around for Coquitlam in the middle frame. Kerfoot scored his second of the season early in the third period to cushion the 3-1 lead. Prince George managed to get a second goal off the stick of Jake LeBrun but could not find the equalizer, eventually losing 3-2.
Wi t h t h e w i n , Coquitlam was able to avenge the previous night’s 5-3 loss to the Spruce Kings, in a game that saw six power play goals. There was lots of action in the first period as Supinski and Express forward Joey Santucci both scored singles. Things were knotted at 2-2 when Prince George’s Taylor Allan scored on the power play, but Coquitlam tied things up with an unassisted marker from Anthony Gardner. That would be the last time a Coquitlam player would find the
back of the Spruce Kings’ net. Prince George’s Justin Rai gave his team the go-ahead goal with two minutes left in the second before scoring again on the power play in the third period to help his team to a 5-3 win. Coquitlam will continue its home stand today (Friday, Oct. 3) against Langley at 7 p.m. followed by a 2 p.m. game against Nanaimo on Sunday (Oct. 5) at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.
