The “ghosts” of Ioco’s past came out to visit Sunday for the former townsite’s Ghost Town Day. Entertainment, pony rides and an antique car show were on the program for the 13th annual family event as well as a display from Imperial Oil — the company that, in 1917, had 200 people living on the grounds beside its refinery.

More bears destroyed this year than last: Ministry Number of bear complaints also increased in PoCo, Coquitlam By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Tri-Cities continue to be a hot spot for bears as hungry bruins make their way from greenways into neighbourhoods, with the number
of destroyed bears continuing to climb. Statistics made available by the Ministry of Environment show as many as nine bears were destroyed in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam in 2013/’14 (the only cities where numbers were available), up from seven killed bears in 2012/’13. As well, the number of complaints is up — from 1,761 in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam last year
to 1,925 this year. In all, 10 bears were destroyed in the 2013/14 year, compared to eight in 2012/’13. All but one, which likely died in an accident, were bears considered a safety risk because they were hooked on people’s garbage and other attractants. “ Yo u ’ r e a l w a y s going to have bears in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody,” noted
Conservation Officer Cody Ambrose. “It’s when people start leaving stuff, such as attractants, fruit from fruit trees and garbage, it’s going to pull them off their natural food source.” Conservation officers have other methods to deter bears but they aren’t always that successful. see ELDER BEAR, page 15
Banting slated for replacement New school set to open in 2017 By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Attractants like garbage and human food are the main reason for the increase in bear/human conflicts.
After a rocky start to the school year, School District 43 got some good news this week with the announcement of $22.5 million to rebuild Sir Frederick Banting middle in Coquitlam.
At a special assembly at the school Thursday, board of education trustees and school officials gave the Grade 6 to 8 students the news and received an appreciative round of applause. “This will be a community hub for generations,” said SD43 chair Melissa Hyndes. see NEW SCHOOL, page 15

As of mid-August, there had been 62 this year. • Number of film permits issued in 2005 (the first full year of tracking): 95 • Year that the highest number of permits was issued: 2006 (112 permits) • Year with the fewest permits issued: 2009 (63 permits) • Permit revenues in 2013: $24,586 • Popular filming locations: Riverview Hospital, Blue Mountain and Mundy parks, Minnekhada Regional Park, Catalyst Paper, various city facilities, including council chambers and local pools, Quarry Road • Little-known locations: Coquitlam Crunch Trail, Fraser River trail along United Boulevard, Hoy Creek, Galloway Park • Other locations: Maillardville heritage sites, red bridge (connector between Coquitlam and PoCo), United Boulevard industrial area, Westwood Plateau (Whistler-style homes) • Filming highlights: Twilight series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3, A Christmas Story 2, Fringe, Psych, Once Upon a Time, Supernatural, The Killing
By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEW
Free and plentiful parking, easy accessibility and unique locations make the Tri-Cities a more welcoming place for filming productions, says a location scout for the hit television show Supernatural. Russell Hamilton, a location manager for the past 25 years, said he and two full-time scouts are out five days a week looking for possible locations, shooting thousands of photographs that turn into about a hundred actual filming locations each season. In August, the crew was shooting at the Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Theatre for three weeks and, most recently, they were spotted near Minnekhada Regional Pa r k i n n o r t h e a s t Coquitlam. “For me, it’s what’s affordable, what’s the most cost-effective,” said Hamilton, particularly when it comes to parking. “It can be the perfect location but if there’s nowhere to park 1,500 feet of truck, it’s no longer the perfect location. “A lot of things go into finding every location we film at, it’s not just how it looks. “What I like about the Tri-City area is the ease of the application process and the bang for your buck,” Hamilton added. “Vancouver gets overused a lot. When we go into different municipalities, they enjoy the filming, it’s unique to them… and it’s a unique look as well.” Like other B.C. locations, the Tri-Cities benefit from provincial policies designed to attract film crews north of the border (not to mention the cheaper Canadian dollar). In 2012/’13, B.C. provided $352 million in tax credits (33%) for film and TV productions, with an additional $26 million for interactive

Also in the summer, Coquitlam Centre was partially transformed into a Christmas wonderland for the filming of Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever. digital media (17.5%), according to stats from the Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services. “Advantages such as a talented workforce, world-class infrastructure, competitive tax credits and diverse, spectacular locations will continue to attract producers confident they can get what they want on time and on budget in B.C.,”the ministry stated. The city of Coquitlam is hoping to attract more interest from the movie biz, starting with a department shuffle. Filming used to be handled by the parks and recreation office but at the beginning of September, it was shifted to the business and tourism portfolio to align it with economic development strategies. David Munro, the city’s manager of economic development, said U.S. productions will naturally be drawn to film north of the border when the Canadian dollar is lower but starting in 2015, the city will be ramping up its marketing efforts targeted at the
film industry. “We really want to emphasize the service side,” Munro said, noting his office will be enhancing the website to feature a list of possible locations and streamlined application processes, developing a brochure with filming info and strengthening connections with location scouts and industry associations. “We will continue to build relationships... and it’s all about giving a quick response to any queries we do get,” Munro said. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, Coquitlam doesn’t reap the rewards of having the most-filmed location in Canada within its boundaries — permit revenues for filming at Riverview Hospital go to the province. And last year was its most successful to date, with 114 productions filmed in 2013/’14 for revenues totalling approximately $1 million, money that helps offset the maintenance costs for the site, according to the Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’
Services. That was up significantly from one of the slowest years, 2004/’05, when there were just 39 film contracts at Riverview. So far this year (2014/’15), there have been 49. The X-Files were a frequent crew at Riverview but more recent productions include Godzilla, If I Stay (in theatres now), Elysium, The Killing, Arrow, Supernatural, P s y ch a n d U n t o l d Stories of the ER (on TLC). Some of the most commonly used buildings are Crease, East Lawn, North Lawn and Industrial Services, and Shared Services BC, which operates the site, works with productions to film inside Riverview’s iconic buildings. Port Coquitlam started tracking its filming stats about eight years ago and has since seen an average of about six to 12 productions each year, said Elaine Gladue, customer services manager. Like most cities in Hollywood North, PoCo saw a significant dip in
filming that coincided with the 2008 economic downturn but activity has since picked up, most notably in 2011, when the HGTV show Consumed, about hoarding, filmed in PoCo. Another significant production came in 2013, when PoCo city hall hosted the crew from the TV show Bates Motel. And Gladue said it’s not just the permit fees that benefit the city. “The film companies often use local businesses for filming, purchase supplies locally, showcase some of the city’s beautiful parks and other amenities,” she said in an email. “This provides residents with an opportunity to work and live within their community.” Devin Jain, manager of cultural services with the city of Port Moody, remembers well when the X-Files filmed at the Inlet Theatre. At the time, he was a theatre technician and knew every inch of the place. But when the typically dark episode aired, “I still had trouble picking it out.” Since 1997

When Alien vs. Predator 2 descended in PoMo for just over a week the same year, Clarke Street was shut down at night to film several fight scenes. “There were overturned vehicles, people firing weapons,” Jain said, noting off-duty Port Moody Police officers were hired to provide security and traffic control.

for The Twilight Saga: New Moon the crew attempted to keep Twihard fans at bay by filming under the moniker “Untitled Sports Movie.” Pressed for details on the Supernatural episode filming at the Terry Fox Theatre, Hamilton remained similarly tightlipped. “We’re doing our best to keep what we’re shooting under wraps,” he said, noting a collection of die-hard fans camped at the parking lot entrance nearly every day of filming. “All I can say is it’s going to be absolutely fantastic.” Perhaps one of the other benefits of filming here is something entirely intangible: secrecy.

Household items & a helping hand at Bea’s Store offers household items and support for women in need By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS
There’s a new store in town where women just starting out or transitioning to a new life don’t have to spend a dime to get an armload of fresh towels and linens, new dishes or even a coffee maker. It’s called Bea’s Kloset and it operates out of two stalls at a Coquitlam storage facility. Stocked to the rafters with household goods, cleaning materials, lamps and small furniture, Bea’s Kloset is the latest Tri-Cities Soroptimist project. This one will help girls in foster care transition to a new life as an independent adult and women leaving the local recovery home who are starting on the next chapter of their journey. “This is for people who need a hand up, not a hand out,” explained Linda Kozina, a longtime member of the
IN QUOTES
“This is for people who need a hand up, not a hand out.” Linda Kozina professional women’s organization. The store operates completely on donations, including the monthly storage fee, and it is constantly in need of stocking because several women a month are visiting to choose items to put in their new apartments. “They are so grateful,” said Bea Kelly, a founding member of the TriCities Soroptimists for whom the free store is named. Kelly said one lady who recently visited Bea’s Kloset was so thrilled with the items, she texted a photo of her new room. “There was so many tears on both sides,” recalled Darlene McCann, another member of the group. Th e S o ro p t i m i s t s are linked with several agencies that support women and take clients by referral for Bea’s
Kloset. All the items are nearly new — some are even brand new — such as the cleaning supplies and fresh pillows that are given out. People are encouraged to donate items with the proviso that they be in such good shape they could be regifted. “We don’t want old or tired items, it costs us money to dispose of them,” Kelly explained. Julie Knisely said several items are in demand and the group is looking for donations, especially of lamps, side tables, small kitchen tables and chairs and kitchenware. Bed linens are also accepted but not pillows, beds or mattresses. The group has a volunteer who launders everything so it’s fresh. “We want them to walk away with things they can use,” Kozina explained. Cash donations or donations of laundry baskets and cleaning supplies are also welcomed. To contribute, email Beaskloset@gmail.com. Bea’s Kloset also has a Facebook Page. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

11th hour pay resolution averts teacher protests By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
An afternoon rally in front of School District 43 offices was averted Tuesday when a last minute agreement was reached by the board of education to pay teachers for a disputed eighth work day in September. The news was widely shared on Twitter, after The News’ print deadline, and means all fulltime teachers will be paid for Sept. 19, considered back-to-school preparation day, with funds dropping into their bank accounts likely at the end of the month. “This was a fairness issue that needed to be addressed,” superintendent Tom Grant said to explain the reversal of a decision to not pay teachers’ based on how monthly pay is calculated in the collective agreement. The payout worth about $700,000 is being calculated as an incremental strike cost and the district will include the sum in its calculations for the Ministry of Education, to be balanced against strike savings the province has
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
School District 43 superintendent Tom Grand and Coquitlam Teacher’s Association president Charley King. said it wants back. But whether the district’s decision will be supported by the ministry is not a sure thing, and board chair Melissa Hyndes said some advocacy might be required to get the province to agree to the payment plan. “The provincial agreement that was struck — in their wording in plain text — it says all teachers will be paid for Sept. 19. It wasn’t until after the fact they said you had to be paid under your local collective agreement,” Hyndes said. The board is appealing to the BC School Trustees’ Association for advocacy in the matter, noting that at least 22 school districts in the province are caught in a
similar situation, meaning that some teachers are getting paid for the back-to-school preparation day and others are not. “This affects many districts, it’s not just our problem,”Hyndes said. However, if the province doesn’t agree the money is an incremental cost due the strike, the district will have to find a way to work it into its operating budget for the year that ends in June, SD43’s secretary treasurer Mark Ferrari said. Under the collective agreement, which Ferrari said the district applied correctly, teachers are paid 20 days in a month, so subtracting seven days left them with 13 paid days.
However, the superintendent said on review, not paying teachers for the eighth day, seemed unfair. “This is a fairness issue for people who have done a pretty remarkable job in this district. It was the unintended consequences of an action and we would hope people would look at those unintended consequences.” SD43 teachers meanwhile were pleased that their lobbying paid off. In a statement after the agreement was reached, CTA president Charley King said the board and the district made the right decision. “We’re really pleased that School District 43 is honouring that provincial agreement and paying teachers for our work on Sept. 19th,” stated King. “We asked trustees to look into this issue and they did. Moreover, they made the decision to right this wrong and they made the decision to honour our provincial agreement. We’re grateful for that.” There are approximately 2,000 full and part-time teachers working in this district.

Police crackdown on school zone speeders, 41 tickets issued in PoMo Bylaw officers also issuing warnings to speedy drivers By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Now that school is back in session police and bylaw officers are monitoring school zones for speeding scofflaws — and finding plenty. Port Moody parents waiting for kids in no stopping zones, parking on crosswalks and many speeding through school zones are getting stopped by PoMo Police officers, who have issued 41 tickets since school has been back in session. “Most tickets were for failing to stop at stop signs and disobeying traffic control devices,” said Const. Luke van Winkel, noting speeding is a significant issue at schools that are close to main roadways, particularly Moody and Glenayre elementary schools. “Police will continue to be out in force at various schools throughout the coming months.” PoMo bylaw officers are also checking in at schools throughout the city and have given out a handful of warning tickets, said city spokesperson Dave Teixeira. “ Wh e n eve r t h e r e are uniforms in place, p e o p l e ’ s b e h av i o u r changes... so there’s compliance,” he said. The top six schools where parents are asking for more patrols, Teixeira added, are Aspenwood, Mountain Meadows, Glenayre, Heritage Mountain, Moody and Pleasantside elementary schools. Even principals are getting in on the act, donning bright vests

ficers are liaising with daycare staff and residents as well as installing additional “no stopping” signs. And Blakeburn elementary parents may want to take note, because bylaw officers have flagged the school for enforcement next week. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said officers are monitoring school zones but he couldn’t provide any
numbers on tickets issued. He encouraged the public to call the RCMP at 604-945-1550 with any traffic complaints. PoMo’s van Winkel also reminded drivers that with the days getting shorter drivers need to pay extra attention. “As the weather turns please give extra time and be cautious of pedestrians at all intersections,” he said. spayne@tricitynews.com

and traffic signs to keep vehicles moving in front of schools. “If parents were to drop off and pick up a 30-second drive away from schools it would clear up the congestion, allow parents to enter and exit faster and the kids would get a little more exercise,” Teixeira said. In Coquitlam, bylaw officers issued warning tickets in the first week that students were back in school but have since stepped it up to regular tickets. “We have officers who do proactive patrols of schools... and we respond to complaints that come from parents, administrators, PACs, principals,” said Andrea McDonald, manager of bylaws, licensing and animal services. “The emphasis is always on student safety and providing that education; however, as you can imagine at some schools there are so many violations happening at once it’s hard to do education.” McDonald said the main issues are people parking in no stopping zones and no parking zones, both of which pose safety concerns for
students. One Coquitlam school is involving students in spreading the safety message. On Oct. 15 Hillcrest middle students, working with ICBC, the city of Coquitlam and RCMP, will be issuing “traffic tickets” to remind drivers to slow down — as well as congratulating drivers who are obeying traffic signs, seat belt laws and traffic lights. Drivers can watch for them on Como Lake Avenue and Linton Street between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. and aim for one of the “nice tickets,” not one of the costly ones that RCMP officers will be handing out. Port Coquitlam is also sending out bylaw officers to schools that have requested parking enforcement with the goal of “ensuring compliance and public safety,” said city spokesperson Pardeep Purewal in an email. At Hope Lutheran and Christian School, officers issued 20 warnings and two tickets, while at Birchland elementary, where problems have arisen with parking at the daycare drop-off zone at the back of the school, of-

Applications sought for B.C. Youth Parliament Participants have until Oct. 29 to apply for one of 95 spots Tri-City teens and young adults have until Oct. 29 to apply to be part of the new session of the B.C. Youth Parliament. A total of 95 young legislators-in-the-making are needed for the next sitting, which includes a visit to the legislature in Victoria
at Christmas time. Participants aged bet we e n 1 6 a n d 2 1 c a n sharpen their public speaking and debating skills, learn about the democratic process and make a difference in the community by helping out at soup kitchens or volunteering at local parks for summer drop-in programs. BCYP registrar Dora Turje, a Coquitlam district on-call teacher, said
the non-partisan group is unique as it combines both parliamentary studies and community service. “It’s difficult to find that in a single organization,” she said. BCYP is made up of a mock “cabinet” that includes a premier, ministers and opposition members. Most of those on the 2014/15 cabinet are returning BCYP members, Turje said. To apply, visit bcyp.org. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Walking the walk
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
■ WHAT WE THINK: Thanks to a new texting platform started by the I Am Someone Ending Bullying Society, with funding from Telus, high school students dealing with bullying and other abuse can easily get help from BC211 via a simple text. What’s also terrific about the text 2TALK initiative is that its name reflects the organization that made it happen — I Am Someone didn’t just talk about doing something for youth in crisis, it walked the walk. Many other groups are also working with youth, proving that the Tri-Cities is a caring community. School District 43 offers many anti-bullying programs and support for kids, ACCESS forYouth helps teens through its mobile bus, workshops and online outreach and Share Family and Community Society provides drug and alcohol information and POSSE programs for girls.The Amanda Todd Legacy Society is working for youth and FORCE for Kids’ Mental Health is there for children who need specific resources. Kids are not alone in the Tri-Cities. Let’s work together to keep it that way.

Want a smarter government? Focus it AS I SEE IT Mark Milke
M
urray Smith, a former Alberta cabinet minister in the Ralph Klein government — the one that privatized government liquor stores and licence registries in 1993 — once told me about a side benefit of such divestments (and I paraphrase): fewer distractions, which led to more focused government. That post-privatization, provincial politicians would have two less items about which a constituent might complain — lineups at licence registries and liquor store prices — might seem trivial. After all, there are plenty of additional matters a politician might be overwhelmed by on a daily basis. Leaving the question of focus aside for a moment, there are, of course, other, practical, reasons to privatize government-run businesses and Crown corporations: More
efficient businesses, more accurate pricing, competition for consumer dollars (and thus better service) and the end of taxpayer subsidies. Thus, starting in the late 1970s but especially in the 1980s and 1990s, governments around the world, of all political stripes and persuasions, wound down and sold off businesses. They did so because it never made economic sense for governments to own and run railways, airlines, telephone and energy companies, among other businesses. For example, consider the once federally-owned railway, Canadian National (privatized in 1995 under the Liberal government of Jean Chretien). As the Railway Association of Canada has noted,“there was a progressive increase in government and public awareness of the need to introduce more market forces in order to encourage self-sufficiency, competitiveness and efficiency.” Beyond the provable benefits of privati-

zation, Smith’s observation highlights the value of focus. Why should politicians and civil servants employ a more focused approach? Because the cash collected and disbursed on our behalf is significant. In 2012/13, Canadian governments were a $738 billion Leviathan (based on spending by all levels of government). Obviously, with numbers that large, it doesn’t take much inattention to misallocate a billion here or there. Soon, as the cliché goes, we’re talking real money. When governments attempt too much, or individual politicians believe their mandate too broad, they inevitably lose track of items under their control. One example: Alberta’s newest premier Jim Prentice wants to bring retail electricity rates down. In a recent interview the premier remarked that “we have been paying more for our electricity, in my view, than we should be,” citing power price spikes as
a problem. He pledged to get to the bottom of it. Except we already know the reason for power price spikes. When they occur, they are a warning signal that demand is about to outstrip the immediately available supply. That price signal is akin to those overhead highway signs that inform drivers of ice conditions ahead (so slow down). Mute the price signal or turn off the sign and you’ve abandoned the early warning system. (Besides, the permanent remedy to higher prices is not political interference but more supply.) There are multiple reasons why governments choose the policy paths they do. Political survival is perhaps the most obvious explanation. But as with any organization, divesting of unnecessary businesses, projects and tasks that are off-mission helps sharpen the focus. That matters if one cares about smarter, more effective government. • Mark Milke is a Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute.

Civic bureaucracy expenses should be an election issue The Editor, Re. “Province looks at big numbers at B.C. city halls” (BC Views, The Tri-City News, Oct. 1). Notwithstanding some views that attempt to portray columnist Tom Fletcher as a nabob of negativity, I find it refreshing to see the bright light of journalism, coupled with some illuminating audited facts from a respected accounting firm, focus voters’ attention on a real campaign issue for upcoming civic elections: bloated municipal bureaucracies.
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
B.C. Premier Christy Clark.
I am not talking about the bloat of growing numbers of employees hired that outstrip population increases. No, I am talking about a more insidious
form of bloat caused by the negotiations that each municipality undertakes with its employees — and I include those that are not represented by unions. The bloat occurs when one sweetheart deal in one municipality causes a ripple effect as each subsequent municipality is forced to meet or beat the result. ’Round and ’round and ’round it goes until the perverse result is bloat. E r n s t a n d Yo u n g identified a 38% increase from 2001 to ’12 compared to inflation
of 23% over the same period. Then, of course, this sets the benchmark not only for provincial employees but other governments across Canada. Bloat begets bloat. The NDP leader called the professional accounting report a “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work.” There is no hidden agenda here. As Premier Christy Clark indicated, it should be on the agenda for the civic elections. E.C. Eddy Coquitlam

Herschel Hardin, a mental health advocate, wants to see the Riverview Hospital grounds split between residents purchasing market housing and patients suffering from mental illness.
Hardin’s vision for R’view Hospital grounds is the wrong way forward The Editor, Re. “Different idea for Riverview” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 1). Herschel Hardin’s vision for Riverview won’t work. Why not? Integrating severely mentally ill people with the general public would no longer be a sanctuary and centre of excellence for health
care as well as a refuge for older patients with dementia. Yes, there should be red flags raised over the “Riverview Village Project,” which would be like “turning the clock back 60 years. Riverview’s founding forefathers wanted this unique and beautiful botanical creation to
be used for education, therapy and as a haven for the severely mentally ill people of British Columbia. We want to ensure a land use planning process that will build on the existing value of Riverview and respect its heritage. Jenny Farley Port Coquitlam

FIRST SLATE
The first slate in Coquitlam’s history has officially put in its nomination papers. The elector organization known as “Coquitlam Citizens Association”— or Protect Coquitlam — was made official this week. Chief election officer Kerri Lore said the five candidates with the group will be identified on the ballot with the letters CCA after their names. To declare as a slate, an elector organization must have two principal agents — a main spokesperson and a financial officer. As well, it falls under the same campaign rules as individual candidates, Lore said. According to the city’s website, CCA members — Coun. Neal Nicholson, Shobha Nair, Jack Trumley, and councillors Chris Wilson and Bonita Zarrillo — share the same website (protectcoquitlam.ca) and email address (vote@protectcoquitlam.ca).

Share Family and Community Services sent out a statement this week asking candidates in the civic election to respect the organization’s non-partisanship. “While we encourage public service, we also wish to maintain a transparent, non-partisan role in public campaigns,” the statement reads. “Share has employees and volunteers from all walks of life, with political views and other opinions that are diverse and strongly held.” It continues: “While individual employees, volunteers or donors may wish to support particular parties or candidates, such support should not to be interpreted as support from Share.” As well, the non-profit organization doesn’t want candidates to use its logos, signs or its Share Bear mascot in campaign literature.

By Janis Warren & Diane Strandberg Tri-City candidates wanting a say in civic or school board decisions over the next four years have until 4 p.m today (Friday) to file their forms at city hall. Anyone can run for office as long as they are a Canadian citizen, over the age of 18, have lived in B.C. for at least the last six months and are not disqualified from voting in a local election in B.C. (the rules for voters are a little more stringent: anyone wanting to cast a ballot must have lived in the municipality for at least the past 30 days). The salary for elected office isn’t so bad, either. Mayors in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody rake in a base wage of $129,664, $88,651 and $85,000 respectively while councillors take home $56,443, $34,213 and $33,000 per year. For the Nov. 15 election, The Tri-City News will post videos of the candidates on our website (tricitynews.com) starting the week of Oct. 20. As well, read our indepth coverage of the candidates in the Voters’ Guide, to be published with our Nov. 7 edition.

It’s good for the community,” she said. “And families are coming back.” The project is part of a series of new builds and retrofits that have taken place in recent years. A similar process was followed for Pitt River middle school in Port Coquitlam, which was rebuilt with seismic funding and opened in January. Centennial is currently under construction with seismic funding and Eagle Mountain, a new middle school in Anmore, just opened in September.

The provincial funding means the 51-year-old building will be demolished and replaced with a new structure containing 19 general instruction classrooms plus three specialized classrooms for music, healthy living and a technical education shop, as well as a gym, combined library and computer lab and a Neighbourhood Learning Centre. Superintendent Tom Grant said the school is being rebuilt because it’s cheaper than doing a seismic overhaul and said the announcement will kick-start a planning process that will see the new school planned, built and opened by September, 2017. A facilities planning spokesperson said this is the first big rebuild for a middle school in northwest Coquitlam and Devon Ross, the acting principal of facilities initiatives, said the growth of Burquitlam is bringing more families into the area. The new school is being built for 550 students while 509 students are currently enrolled at the school that offers French Immersion as well as skills explorations for credit towards graduation. One of the issues during construction will be traffic flow and parking in the neighbourhood that has struggled with these issues in the past and Ross said part of the
It took more than arm-twisting to get the province to agree to the rebuild, with the district having to provide a business case that building new was preferred over a renovation. “We’ve been working extremely hard with the government to put forward a case for them to realize that a rebuild is better than an upgrade,” Hyndes noted. One trustee was particularly excited about the announcement. Holly Butterfield, a school board rep for Anmore/ Belcarra who is also running again, attended Banting when it was a junior high school in the early 1970s. She said it’s about time a new school was built to reflect chang-

‘Mega homes’ on the agenda at town hall meeting in PoMo By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
C h a n g i n g Po r t Moody’s zoning bylaws to prevent the construction of “mega homes” may not be as easy as limiting roof heights or switching to a new way to measure a property’s grade. At Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting, council discussed a staff report detailing the potential ramifications of each suggestion passed earlier in the summer. The report will also form the basis of a town hall meeting on Oct. 27. Staff found several of the motions could trigger non-conformity issues, lower property values and cause a host of enforcement issues. “Staff caution against making broad zoning changes across the city because of a number of negative impacts and non-compliance situations that can cause more problems going forward in dealing with existing homes and existing properties in the community,” said James
Stiver, general manager of development services. The “mega homes” issue was raised by a group of residents in the Ioco Road corridor earlier this year as they called on the city to stop the construction of large homes that were blocking neighbours’ views and changing the overall look of the community. Other residents, however, as well as developers, have since raised concerns about how the proposed zoning bylaw changes would affect their property values and their right to build to the maximum allowable envelope. The report raised concerns around including basements, garages and carports in FAR calculations, stating it could render many existing homes non-conforming to the bylaw, result in obstacles for homeowners wishing to renovate and could significantly reduce the allowable floor area. As well, staff suggested grade and building height regulations would be more effective in addressing “bulky”
construction, rather than regulating podium heights. Using a more effective grade calculation — taking measurements from a property’s four corners — would also be more useful than the current reference to “natural grade” and could prevent builders from adding fill to significantly change the grade before applying for permits. It also notes that other municipalities require a fill permit be obtained before builders can introduce any foreign fill onto a lot. Coun. Zoe Royer said she agreed with much of the staff report, noting the city should proceed cautiously when it comes to including unfinished basements in floor area ratio (FAR) calculations. And although she recently built a home on Ioco Road, Royer said she is not in a conflict of interest and intends to stay part of discussions on zoning changes for the Ioco area. “None of the changes proposed would place my property in noncompliance because my
Belcarra car-keyer caught on camera sought by police A man believed to have keyed a parked car in Belcarra Regional Park was unknowingly caught on camera. On the afternoon of Sept. 14 the man allegedly keyed the car for no apparent reason. The vehicle is equipped with a motion-activated camera and recorded the entire incident, according to the Coquitlam RCMP. Investigators obtained a photo from the video and believe the suspect may be living in the area.

THE THINGS-TO-DO GUIDE: A long weekend to celebrate fall’s bounty
Give thanks, eat turkey Compiled by Sarah Payne
S
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
ure, much of this long-awaited long weekend is about kicking back with family and friends to eat way too much turkey and stuffing and, of course, to remember to be grateful for all that we have. Here are some other ways to enjoy the time off.
TODAY: Friday, Oct. 10 MOVIE NIGHT
Kick off the long weekend with the Port Moody Film Society, which is screening In the House at 7:30 p.m. at the Inlet Theatre (100 Newport Dr.). The film follows a 16-year-old boy who draws on the life of a fellow student to write moving essays for his French teacher. Inspired, the teacher rediscovers a passion for his work, but the boy’s work unleashes“a series of uncontrollable events.” Tickets for In the House (France/comedy/drama, rated R) are $5 (with $5 membership).Visit www.pmfilm.ca.
Saturday, Oct. 11 KICK IT
Take a break from all that turkey talk by heading to Town Centre Park (1299 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) to cheer on teams in Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club’s Thanksgiving tournament. Boys’ and girls’ games (U10-U12) run Saturday through Monday; check www.cmfsc.ca for details.
FAMILY DAY
It’s family drop-in day at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam), featuring the Sounds of Ice & Snow. Fire up your imaginations to make new musical instruments inspired by Paul Walde’s orchestral performance in Requiem for a Glacier. The sounds will be recorded and sampled to make a downloadable song. Drop in from 1 to 4 p.m. (by donation, no registration required).Visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.
the annual Fall Harvest Festival and barbecue. The market kicks off at 9 a.m. with the barbecues fired up at 10 a.m. Drop by for an all-natural beef sausage from the Cariboo’s Redl’s Homegrown Beef, and fresh-baked rolls will be served up by Gesundheit Bakery. Don’t forget to load up on condiments from JJ’s Country Cooking, Aji Gourmet Foods and others, along with delicious seasonal vegetables from Wilbur & Sabastian’s Smokehouse and Bistro. Kids can try their hand at“milking”a life-size ceramic cow, bob for apples and decorate Thanksgiving decorations.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... well, not too far away. Mini Jedis can enjoy an afternoon of Star Wars crafts, games and giveaways at the PoMo Public Library (100 Newport Dr.) starting at 1 p.m. (drop-in, kids under 10 require parent attendance). There will be activities for all ages, including a Jedi training obstacle course, a drawing contest and a chance to meet a real Jedi knight at 3 p.m. Kids (and parents!) in costume can enter the selfie contest for a chance to win an intergalactic goodie bag.

Temperature puts birds in peril green scene Elaine Golds Use of fossil fuels largely to blame
I
n September, the American Audubon Society released a disturbing report which attempted to describe how the birds of North America could be impacted by climate change over the next 65 years. Some people may already be aware that birds are facing huge challenges to find appropriate areas where they can continue to thrive despite increasing loss of habitat and pesticide use. A variety of studies indicate that global warming could result in a two to four degree temperature rise by the end of this century accompanied by a 0.2-0.6 metre increase in sea level. The Audubon study, summarized on their website (www.audubon.org), shows the impacts of global warming on birds could be profound. Of a total of 588 bird species which spend both their winters and summers in North America, 314 are expected to lose over half of their habitat by 2080. One of the reasons why so many birds will be affected by global warm-

Although barn swallows use mainly human-built structures on which to build their nests, they rely on a natural abundance of insects for feeding and raising their young. ing is that most species of birds have evolved to be habitat specialists. Thus, they rely on finding a certain type of habitat and food. Their needs often put them in conflict with people who have tended to cut down forests, drain wetlands and convert grasslands into agricultural fields. In addition, many birds are migratory, which means they must rely on finding suitable habitat along lengthy migration corridors. Climate change is altering many of the areas upon which birds rely. Take, for example, whooping cranes. These elegant birds were once hunted almost to the point of extinction. They were known to congregate along the Texas coast each winter but, for many years, the area where they nested remained a mystery. In
1937, when only 21 birds remained in the flock, the American government initiated a huge effort to protect and restore their population. The first step taken was to protect their winter habitat as the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. When, in 1954, their summer nesting area was fortuitously discovered to be in the wetlands of Wood Buffalo National Park on the northern boundary of Alberta, the Canadian Wildlife Service also got involved. While this flock of whooping cranes now numbers about 350, climate change is threatening their habitat. For example, recent severe droughts in Texas have reduced fresh water inflow in the Aransas Refuge, which is reducing their vital winter food supply. A severe hurricane along the Gulf coast
Westminster Junction to the Western Front 1914-1918 This year as we mark the one hundredth anniversary of the start of “The Great War”, come join PoCo Heritage on a journey following a father and son from the fledgling city of Port Coquitlam to the battlefields of Europe, and back again. Explore how residents of our community would have learned of the events on the other side of the world and how the local movie theatre was the “world wide web” of the day. Learn how the railway played an important role on both sides of the ocean. Follow Thomas and Harold Routley as they prepare to support the troops on the front line, culminating in the epic Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge. Discover how their journey and ultimate return would be instrumental in the development of Port Coquitlam into the place we recognize today. We also honour those who did not return and provide some insights into the local men who are inscribed for eternity on our city’s cenotaph. Grand Opening Saturday October 11, 2014 at 11 am. Heritage at Leigh Square Museum and Archives Also on display for this one day only - WW 1 Sopwith Camel Airplane on loan from the Canadian Museum of Flight – location - parking lot/sculpture yard between the Outlet and Gathering Place.

in Texas could also damage their habitat. During migration these cranes rely on wetland habitat along their migration corridor. One important area lies along the Platte River in Nebraska where the irrigation needs of farmers is reducing the amount of suitable river habitat for cranes. These cranes also migrate over the tar sands of Alberta which increases the risk that storms might force some birds to the ground in areas of polluted tar sand pools. While it is not known if global warming could affect their wetland habitat in Wood Buffalo National Park, it is clear that climate change is already altering some of their critical habitat. To inform people about the dangers of a rapidly warming world and actions we should be taking to reduce fossil fuel emissions, the TriCities LeadNow group is hosting an upcoming presentation by UBC professor Bill Rees. Ben West from ForestEthics Advocacy will also take part in the event. The presentation will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 21 at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). Doors open at 6:30 pm and the presentation will begin at 7 pm. Tickets ($10) are available through evergreenculturalcentre.ca/ buy-tickets.

Drive What you can’t see is the 317 kgs that the ‘15 F-series has lost, thanks to that aluminum body and the increased use of high-strength steel in the frame – but, you can certainly feel it while driving. The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear. The hood and side windows have dropped in profile for better visibility, while the size, colours and quality of the computer generated gauges and controls simplifies operation while driving. I towed with the new truck and its manners are good if not improved. In part, this is assisted by the long list of towing features like trailer sway control; tow/haul mode; Dynamic Hitch Assist, SelectShift transmission and better tow mirrors. Off-road an electronic manual rear
differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever. Verdict Payload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs. Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!

City of light shines brightly, on dream machine By Zack Spencer Paris, France – The Paris Auto Show is one of those mustvisit events for those of us charged with reporting on the latest and greatest new vehicles. So many manufacturers now develop products for a world market so these early European shows often offer a glimpse of what’s coming next to our shores.
Here are five machines that caught my eye. Let’s start with a dream machine. The Lamborghini Asterion concept car was certainly a showstopper. Sidestepping the current design approach of angular shapes with hard edges, this new Lambo has a more curvaceous look that almost mimics a front engine car. What is wedged in the middle of this exotic is a hybrid system that marries a naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 engine with three electric motors (Two in the front producing all wheel drive and another in the transmission for full electric drive capability), producing a whopping 910hp with acceleration
that will see this car run to 100km in just three seconds. The Asterion is capable of running on just electric power for roughly 30km and, providing silent driving in a wickedly sexy machine. This is a just a concept at this point but with mounting pressure on car makers to reduce carbon output and the fact the Porsche brand (Another VW Group brand) already has the 918 hybrid, this looks like it could make it to market within the next few years. Ok, now back to earth. With the trend towards all-wheeldrive (AWD) gaining more and more momentum it was only a matter of time before cars previously without AWD start to appear with this option. Take the popular VW Golf wagon, soon to be available in Europe with AWD and a slightly higher ground clearance. Called the Alltrack, this more rugged looking and capable VW will certainly appeal to buyers of the Subaru Outback or Audi Allroad. In North America, we don’t buy many wagons but we certainly love when manufacturers add a slightly higher ride-height, lower body cladding plus AWD and call them a crossover vehicle.
Sales jump. Not available in Canada but after chatting with VW Canada executives, they have put in a request to Germany to get this car for our AWD-loving climate. Stay tuned.

Imagine a pure electric, three-wheel, scooter-like vehicle, with a fixed roof, steering wheel and can drive up to 45km/h with 50km of electric range. The Toyota i-Road attracted big crowds when it was demonstrated at this year’s Paris Show. The small wheel at the rear of the i-Road pivots at low speed for amazing maneuverability, plus when driven at higher speeds the entire vehicle tilts over like a motorcycle with the front wheels rotating independently of each other. It looks odd and must feel odd to drive but the upside is covered driving, without a helmet, and emissions free transportation. The i-Road is being tested in Japan and will be used in the French city of Grenoble as part of a vehicle-sharing program. This type of vehicle already exists in Europe but the tilting and pivoting elements make it unique. This would not be popular on our wider roads in North America but the i-Road

will fit right in on Europe’s busy streets. The Chrysler Groups’ parent company Fiat is at it again, taking the best that its European brands have to offer and marrying them with American brands. The Fiat 500L has had a mild reception here in North America so now they have taken the same platform and produced the Jeep Renegade. To complete the circle, the
same Renegade approach is being used with this Fiat 500X, basically, taking the same Jeep-like elements and making them into a Fiat. The 500X will be available with front wheel drive (FWD) or AWD and a variety of engine and transmission options in Europe. The engine choices have not been divulged for our market but expect to see the 170hp 1.4 turbo 4-cylinder and the 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engines here. The Fiat 500L has not been a hit for Fiat but, yet again, add a more rugged look and the sales will likely follow.
brand. Sales for the XC90 and Volvo in general have been pathetic in North America. This new XC90 has a lot going for it and Volvo hopes it will help revive the brand. The XC90 will be sold in Canada with AWD in the T6 or T8 engine variants. Both are turbocharged and supercharged and are matched to an 8-speed automatic. The T6 has 320hp and the T8 comes with an additional 80hp electric motor for improved power and efficiency. The three-row design remains in-
tact but the interior is larger for more space. The dash is a standout with a vertical iPadlike application in the centre for class-leading connectivity and usability. The price of the T6 will start at $60,700 and the T8 will start at $73,400. If this short list this isn’t enough to satisfy your curiosity, check out my Paris gallery at drivewaybc.ca. zack.spencer@ drivewaybc.ca
Will the introduction of an all-new, full-size XC90 SUV be enough to save Volvo here in North America? Time will tell but the crowds at the Volvo stand in Paris were packed with people combing over every pert of this attractive SUV. It has been over ten years since Volvo introduced the original XC90 and the years have not been good to this vehicle or the

Families who dirt bike together are totally together By Alexandra Straub With the distractions of technology, smartphones, television programming, life, video games and more, it can be tough to find an activity in which the whole family can participate let alone enjoy. Age differences between children, gender, and general interests can vary greatly. My brother and I couldn’t be more opposite. Rest assured, there is hope and some of it comes in the form of two wheels.
‘‘
You value time together more when you’re all doing something that you all love. As a full-time working mom, I’m so grateful we have riding as a common bond.

Scott Ponuick, marketing and promotions manager at Popkum Motor Park, in Rosedale, raced snowmobiles and ATVs as a child. And he road raced for many years of his life. He also grew up around the racetrack as his father raced stock cars. You could say motor oil runs through his veins and that motor oil has since been passed to his family. He mentions: “Before we had kids, I bought Christine (his wife) a bike; a Honda XR 86,”
even born, we started talking about what bike we should get her and getting gear ready for her for when she was old enough,” Christine says. By the time Taylor was two years old she was on two wheels. With training wheels, of course. Then again, you could argue that she was on two wheels much before then because the only way she’d fall asleep as a baby was when her dad would ride her around the back yard in a harness. “She always wanted to get on the bike,” Christine recounts. “Taylor always wanted daddy to take her around.” Now that Taylor is six and her little brother, Chase, is three, they both can ride their own bikes and have a blast doing it. At home, the kids are on Oset electric trials bikes. They don’t make any noise so they can play in the back yard until the batteries run out! There’s also a “throttle” modulator that makes sure the kids can’t get themselves into too much trouble. Scott and Christine consider themselves very lucky because everyone in the family loves to get out onto the trails, even if they aren’t moving very quickly! “It’s so cool to see Taylor and Chase progress,” says Scott. Even though Scott’s employment brings him to Popkum Motor Park weekly, he said that he’d still take the kids on dirt bikes regardless. “It’s such a great way to build motor skills, coordination, a love of the outdoors and you just create so many memories together.” He talks about the families who come out to the Park. Moms, dads, and kids alike take to the track. “There’s one family that

Kia has an Electric Soul Kia joins the growing list of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers with Soul EV, a clever adaptation of its tall 5-door compact with the funky styling. Although still a small slice of the overall car market, EV sales are growing rapidly and so is the public charge station infrastructure that’s crucial to its success, especially in urban areas.
‘‘
The Kia Soul EV definitely rocks and is a must-drive for anyone considering an EV.

A digital readout showed 187 km of driving range available as we headed out on a test loop around Metro Vancouver. And after about 30 minutes of, no special treatment, driving with frequent stops, starts, hill climbs and descents, the Soul EV showed 162 km was still available. That’s relevant, as the Soul EV’s officially rated driving range is 149 km. In addition to being quiet and fuel-free, Soul EV effectively matches the practical user features of its gasoline counterpart. It can seat 4 to 5 passengers and has the same large rear cargo area. Kia’s polymer (electrolyte) lithium ion battery pack is compact and easier to hide than others, as is can be molded into different shapes. In Soul EV it’s centrally fitted under the seats and a raised rear floor pan. The gasoline engine is replaced by a 109 horsepower liquid-cooled AC synchronous permanent magnet electric motor that can generate a whopping 210 lb-ft of torque. That’s 59 lb-ft more than the 2.0-litre gasoline engine version of Soul. Standing starts were not as jumpy as other electric vehicles tend to be and the overall performance of the electric drivetrain was impressively smooth. Charger ports for the battery pack are hidden behind a hinged cover in the front grille. The smaller port accepts either a 120 volt (level 1) or a 240 volt (level2) charge connector. A portable level 1 unit is stored in the
Infiniti premiered its eye-catching Q80 Inspiration concept at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. The four-door fastback is five metres long, two metres wide, and only 1.35 metres at its highest point. Powered by a new 2.2-litre, four-cylin-
vehicle and Kia Canada will also provide Soul EV buyers with a level 2 charge unit (made by Bosch) for home installation, free of charge. The charger unit can also be used to pre-heat or pre-cool the Soul EV, while plugged into the grid. You can also program it to start or complete charging at a certain time. The level 1 charger plugs into any electrical outlet, but can take up to 24hours to fully recharge the battery pack. A level 2 charger (with 30 amp service) cuts the maximum recharge time to under 5-hours. And a level 3 fast charge station can pump-in an 80 per cent charge in less than 30 minutes. We didn’t take it out on the freeway, but the Soul EV seemed very stable (it’s heavier then the gas engine Soul) and Kia claims a top speed of 145 km/hour. Kia also claims that it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/ hour faster (by 4 seconds) than a Nissan Leaf. It’s agile and peppy, with lots of initial get up and go, but it’s also no dragster. The two-tone gray interior theme came with attractive and contrasting blue stitching. Extensive use of bio-friendly interior materials also makes Soul EV the most eco-friendly vehicle made by Kia. It feature materials derived from organic substances such as sugar cane, corn, cellulose, and wood powder. The base edition of Soul EV is very well equipped and even comes with dual-zone climate control, voiceactivated navigation and a rear view camera. A leather wrapped steering wheel is heated and also has both tilt and telescopic features. Moving up to EV Luxury adds features like leather (synthetic) upholstery, a heat pump (enhances the climate control system), cooled and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. Soul EV is only available through selected Kia dealers in major Canadian urban centres (Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver). Unlike Quebec and Ontario, however, BC’s incentive program for eco-friendly vehicles ran out of cash back in March of this year. Soul EV does qualify for an $8,000 federal government rebate and that certainly helps make the purchase price more palatable. The Kia Soul EV definitely rocks and is a must-drive for anyone considering an EV in this price range. bob.mchugh@ drivewaybc.ca

New bench boss for PoMo Panthers By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Th e Po r t M o o dy Panthers’ search is on for a new head coach after the club parted ways with bench boss Kevin Flather last weekend. In the meantime Ron Johnson, the team’s current director of hockey development, will step in as interim coach. The 13-year veteran of the Pacific Junior Hockey League led the Richmond Sockeyes in backto-back PJHL and Cyclone Taylor Cup championships in 2003 and 2004. “At this time we feel that an adjustment is needed behind our

Port Moody Panthers forward Evan Gain tussles with a North Vancouver Wolf Pack player in the neutral zone during a 7-0 loss at the Port Moody Arena Saturday night. bench to ensure that as an organization, we remain committed to player development,” said Panthers general
manager Frank Iantorno after the announcement. “We want our players to have the freedom of learning, which means
they’re going to make mistakes. As such, we believe that a greater depth of experience is required to help guide
them through this challenging process.” Johnson has coached the Panthers before. During the 2010-11 season he led the team to a 22-18-6 record, the best since the franchise relocated from Port Coquitlam in 2006. He was also at the helm of the Aldergrove Kodiaks when the team won a bronze medal at the Cyclone Taylor Cup in 2010 and was a PJHL championship finalist in 2013. The coaching change did little to help the Cats last week when the club suffered back-to-back losses against the North Vancouver Wolf Pack. Port Moody was shutout at home Saturday night, when the Pack
mauled the Panthers 7-0. Cats net minder Spencer Kozlowski stopped 41 of the 48 shots he faced. Last Wednesday, the team managed to get a goal against North Vancouver when James Jerczynski buried a pass from Sammy Zeinab in the second period, but it was not enough to spark the rest of the team and Port Moody fell 8-1. The club played the Richmond Sockeyes Thursday night (after The Tri-City News’ deadline) and will play the Abbotsford Pilots on Saturday at the Port Moody Arena. Puck drop is at 7:45 p.m. For more information go to www.portmoodypanthers.com. sports@tricitynews.com
The Coquitlam Raiders downed South Delta Rams 48-24 during a bantam division Lower Mainland Football League match last weekend. After Jaden Severy rushed the ball down the field off the opening kickoff, the Raiders punched in the first touchdown on a passing play from quarterback Keiran Little to Kaidan Parks. The Raiders added several more TD before heading in to the half, taking a commanding 32-8 lead after 30 minutes. In the second, the Rams gave the Raiders a little bit of a scare by scoring two unanswered touchdowns to close the gap in the score to 32-24. But the Raiders defence stepped it up with some great third down pressure from Liam Stewart and tackles from Josh Baba and Jevan Eddleston. Two final touchdown runs in the late stages of the game put the match out of reach for the Rams. The Raiders will now prepare for North Delta tonight (Friday, Oct. 10) at John Oliver Park.

The Coquitlam Wildcats continued their winning ways with their sixth win in a row over the South Delta Rams last weekend. Wi t h Ke y s h a w n Dorsey at the helm as quarterback, the Wildcats took a commanding 18-0 early lead with two touchdowns from Jude Buchannan and another from Said Sabry. The Wildcats ended the game with a 33-0 win as the South Delta Rams chose to call the game early in the fourth quarter. sports@tricitynews.com

The Mercs managed to get one back with five minutes left in the game off the right boot of Mateo Coutant, but it was not enough to close the gap. Christian Knowles and Luke Morgan were steady during the match, with Knowles making several key tackles. Lukas Nuessler had a solid game on the wing for Port Moody.
REDCAPS
T h e Po r t M o o d y Redcaps played the Celtics in Ladner to a draw last weekend in under-17 Gold division boys soccer The home team took an early 2-0 lead over the Redcaps, who struggled to generate any offense in the first few minutes of the game. That changed in the second half, when the Port Moody team we n t o n a s c o r i n g streak and managed to tie up the game in a matter of minutes. For a brief time the Redcaps even led the game, when Connor Wong managed to put the ball in the net with an amazing header, however the Celtics responded with a goal of their own and the final score was 3-3.
INTO THE STORM
T h e Po r t M o o d y Storm rained on the Surrey Pegasus’ parade last weekend. After ten minutes of back-and-forth play, the under-16 girls soccer club jumped out to a 2-0 lead over the home team with goals from Abigail Schwartz and Maddie Low. Port Moody added to the tally in the second half when Hailey Counsell scored a hat trick and put the 5-0 game out of reach for the Surrey opponents. Two late goals from the Pegasus rounded out the scoring but the damage had been done and Port Moody walked away with a convincing 5-2 win, putting the Storm in first place in their division. The club will take on the North Shore at Port Moody Town Centre on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Port Coquitlam racer Chris Doodson is one of only a handful of Canadians trying to take home the Sports Car Club of America National Championship at the 2014 SCCA National Runoffs at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, Calif. The event started on Tuesday and will continue until Sunday, Oct. 12. More than 530 competitors from all over North America have qualified for the 27 runoff classes, while Doodson qualified his Honda Civic in the GT Lite class.

TNT ExPlODES
Coquitlam’s Juliana Bosa scored early off a pass from Natasha Calis in a 1-1 draw between the Coquitlam TNT Predators and the Royal City Rebels last weekend in under-16 girls soccer. Strong play from the TNT’s Nicole Chursinoff, Olivia Dawson, Cooper Miller, Isabelle Antunes, Tessa Weimer, Cristina Danieli and goalie Josie Pozzolo kept the game close. The match was the third tie of the season for the TNT.
REBElS
The Coquitlam Metro Ford Rebels improved their record to 3-1-1 after a win over Richmond FC in MetroSelect girls soccer last weekend. The club played a strong possession game and generated several scoring chances during the match, while shutting down Richmond’s offence. Coquitlam’s Erin Ilett drew first blood, scoring in the first half on a setup from teammate Michela Cervellin. Later on a penalty kick was awarded a Richmond hand ball inside the box and Christa Tascona made no mistake in putting it just inside of the post outside of the outstretched keeper’s reach. Lucia Zecca and Jessica Towner were dominant in the middle of the park and were key to developing the strong offensive push. Meanwhile, Claudia Carbone and Jenna Mariotti were solid on the back line and limited Richmond’s opportunities at goal, holding the 2-0 shutout until time ran out. sports@tricitynews.com
