Port Moody may be known for its small-town charm but the allcandidates’ meeting Monday night took the friendly mantra to new heights.

Hosted by the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce, the candidates’ debate was anything but, with many of the questions generating agreement — not political sparring — among the council hopefuls.

Except, of course, when mayoral candidates Mike Clay and Gaetan Royer went head-to-head on the first chamber question regarding the 2014 Mayors’ Transportation Plan and how to secure provincial funding for it. (The $7.5-billion plan calls for new, widespread transit infrastructure throughout the region over a 30-year span.) see ‘EVERY’, page A4

HOMELESSNESS IN THE TRI-CITIES

Building shelter, relationships pile-driving is to start soon for 3030 gordon DiAne StrAnDBerg The Tri-CiTy News

The operator of a new homeless shelter and transition housing now under

construction in Coquitlam promises open communication and opportunities for volunteerism when the $13-million facility opens next year.

Sean Spear, associate director of RainCity Housing, said his organization has learned through experience building and running social housing projects in

Vancouver that open communication and networking with neighbours and the wider community is important for the success of the operation at 3030 Gordon Ave. “Building relationships, starting to grow them, awareness, the details around the impact of construction and answering

CONTACT ThE TRI-CITY NEWS: newsroom@tricitynews.com

questions about the operation,” Spear said in listing his upcoming to-do list.

“We want to continue to connect and build connections with the neighbours.”

For now, though, the main task is bringing people up to speed on what the next few weeks of construction will look like as excavation and pile-driving

will be necessary to provide a stable foundation for the facility, which will provide 30 shelter beds and 30 units of transition housing for longer stays and services for homeless people.

The project is expected to stick to the city’s noise bylaw standards and Spear said the contractor, Ventana Construction, was hired in

part because of its ability to work with the community.

Spear also promised open lines of communication with people in the area and said he will be visiting neighbours close to the construction site, between Lougheed Highway and Westwood Street. see 24-HOUR, page A7

In the last civic election in 2011, for example, Port Moody had the highest turnout at a paltry 26%, and the numbers dropped from there, with Coquitlam at 21.7% and Port Coquitlam at 18.6%.

Can we do better?

The Tri-City News hopes so and is launching its #IVoteBecause campaign to get people thinking about the importance of voting in advance of the Nov. 15 election for city councillors and school trustees.

SCHOOL TRUSTEE ELECTIONS

CTA isn’t endorsing trustee candidates DIAne STrAnDBerg The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Teachers’ Association isn’t endorsing candidates for school trustee for the Nov. 15 civic election because it isn’t “warranted,” according president Charlie King.

King said while the CTA has endorsed candidates in the past to give them some “backing” because they had done a good job or demonstrated leadership, “in our view it’s not warranted at this time.”

Instead, King said, the CTA is accepting the recommendation of the New Westminster and District Labour Council, which has endorsed for trustee both Coquitlam candidate Carol Cahoon and Port Coquitlam candidate Chris King, a Coquitlam resident.

“These are two individuals who are not incumbents… They have demonstrated a fair bit of advocacy,” King said.

Instead of formerly endorsing candidates, the association, which represents School District 43’s 2,000 teachers, has published a detailed survey of trustee candidates on issues important to educators.

The survey (available at www.coquitlamteachers. com), filled out by a majority of the 25 Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam and Anmore/Belcarra trustee candidates, offers general questions about candidate priorities and lobbying ideas, as well as previous activism and teacher-specific concerns such as class size and composition and the Learning Improvement Fund. “This questionnaire

will hopefully help to clarify which candidates are the better choices and which candidates should be avoided.”

The preamble also notes that incumbent trustees need to build trust after events of the last year and of the non-incumbents, “few have been visible advocates, especially during our strike.”

Meanwhile, the CTA held a Twitter chat on Monday to grill trustee candidates on issues. The conversation between the CTA and trustee candidates dealt with a range of issues, including advocacy, a management hiring freeze for SD43 and questions about corporate sponsorship to raise funds in schools.

Two candidates in the upcoming Port Moody civic election got into a dust-up early Saturday morning over sign placement.

Incumbent Coun. Diana Dilworth and new school trustee candidate Lisa Park were both vying for prime election sign real estate at the corner of Ioco Road and Heritage Mountain Boulevard; when discussion between the two candidates’ teams got heated, a city bylaw officer called in the Port Moody Police.

Dilworth said she arrived at the spot at 6:15 a.m. to save a spot for her signs, which under the city’s election bylaw could be erected at 7 a.m. two weeks before voting day. A short time later, she said, about a dozen members of Park’s team arrived and said they wanted to put her signs where Dilworth was standing.

Dilworth said she felt intimidated by Park’s volunteers, who got into a “screaming match” with her own volunteers. A PMPD officer arrived and monitored the situation but determined it was not a police matter, said Const. Luke van Winkel.

“I was feeling threatened and walked away from what I felt was a bad situation,” Dilworth said. “In the end, my sign team walked away and let her team take the sign position they wanted.

She added that Park was there only briefly.

“There were a number of candidates there and for those of us who have been through campaigns before, this is supposed to be a fun part of getting the campaign going,” said Dilworth, downplaying the incident. “It should have been a fun morning but unfortunately it soured a bit.”

Park did not respond to requests for an interview.

‘Every municipality was at the table’: Clay Speak up!

continued from front page

Clay voiced his support for it, noting it represents a tremendous amount of work and compromise on the part of the region’s mayors.

But Royer said the plan carries a major flaw because it doesn’t address the “full integration of transportation needs with the various priorities of different communities.” He added that pieces of the plan were missing because of the “flawed governance” structure of TransLink and the mayors’ council.

“Knowing every municipality was at the table developing that plan, how can you say that there’s pieces missing... when they were all in agreement with it?”

Clay fired back.

Royer said there was a lack of consultation with councils, including Port Moody’s, adding there was no information brought to a council meeting regarding the plan.

Clay said the plan aligns with the city’s OCP and its master transportation plan, it was “rolled through council before it was endorsed” and it was also reviewed by city staff.

The candidates also battled over their thoughts on the mayor’s role in dealing with other levels of government, with Royer stating he would work collaboratively but also “stand up for Port Moody forcefully and ag-

Seniors’ issues in a survey

Voters concerned about safe and affordable transportation and housing for seniors can get some insight into their city council candidates’ beliefs and strategies on these topics just in time for the election.

The Tri-Cities Seniors Planning Network con-

ducted a survey on these topics and 28 council candidates from Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam filled it out.

The survey asked candidates how they would support affordable and accessible housing for seniors; how would they

support accessible and affordable transportation for seniors; and how would they support seniors and their families as they deal with issues around again.

POcO MaYOR wEiGhs iN Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore weighed in on Port Moody mayoral candidate Gaetan Royer’s criticism of the 2014 Mayors’ Transportation Plan on his Facebook page, writing: “Shocked to hear PoMo Mayoral Candidate Gaetan Royer doesn’t support TransLink Mayor Council 30 Yr Vision/10 Yr Plan - said ‘things’ are missing, but gave no real details.

We had 21 of the 22 Mayors in the region support the plan, then business, enviro, education, tourism groups and other levels of government supported and praised the work of the Mayors, including Mike Clay — Mayor of Port Moody.” gressively represent the city” in the face of senior government downloading.

Clay said the old style of picking fights with senior governments didn’t work and the result was little to no provincial or federal funding for city projects.

The debate continued with pairs of candidates first answering a Chamber question, followed by a chance to question each other. But it turns out there is very little separating the 14 council candidates and

many questions elicited similar answers that came down to the need to attract new businesses offering well-paying jobs, diversify the tax base and develop carefully around the Evergreen Line.

A few did generate some sparks, however, such as the question regarding slates posed to incumbents Zoe Royer and Diana Dilworth, each suggesting the other was part of an NDP or Conservative slate, respectively (Zoe and

Gaetan Royer have both been publicly endorsed

by New WestminsterCoquitlam NDP MP Fin Donnelly). Each denied her opponent’s charge, adding that their aim is to work collaboratively on solutions for the city.

Incumbent Rosemary Small was up against Tom Bell, a longtime community volunteer running for the second time, as they were asked about potential uses of the old fire hall site (Bell: a community garden; Small: a seniors’ home).

And newcomers Cathy Cena and Bryan Hoad offered their thoughts on affordable housing — Hoad suggesting the city needs to offer more options at different price points and Cena saying density bonuses can be an effective tool.

The Tri-Cities Chamber was set to host all-candidates meetings for Port Coquitlam on Tuesday night, school trustees tonight (Wednesday) and Coquitlam tomorrow.

The Moody Centre Community Association is also hosting a PoMo allcandidates meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at Kyle Centre. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

The Tri-CiTy News

As mini ghouls and goblins went door-to-door ferreting out free candy, Port Moody Police and Coquitlam RCMP officers were busy responding to loud parties, fireworks calls and even a drunk driver or two.

Coquitlam Cpl. Jamie Chung said about 30% of the calls logged in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam were related to causing a disturbance, noise bylaws and public drunkenness.

“We also investigated a number of fireworks complaints and several common assaults,” he said.

Chung said officers took four drunk drivers off the road and responded to three reports of assaults, none of which resulted in life-threatening injuries.

In Port Moody, officers reported a busy evening but “people were, for the most part, on good behaviour,” said Const. Luke van Winkel.

One person was issued a 90-day driving prohibition for drunk driving and another received a 24hour prohibition for driving while under the influence of drugs. As well, van Winkel said there were a few complaints regarding loud parties and fireworks but only three seizures, yielding about 100 fireworks.

“It was great to see many families and community areas decorated for all the trick-or-treaters,” he added. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Coquitlam RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying two men, each of whom allegedly stole a bottle of hard liquor from a store in the 2700-block of Lougheed Highway on Oct. 30.

One suspect is described as a Caucasian man about 5’6” tall with a shaved head of stubble. At the time of the incident, he was wearing black-rimmed glasses, a black coat and dark coloured jeans.

The second suspect was described as being in his early 20s, wearing a red baseball hat with a New York Yankees logo on it, a red t-shirt, black backpack and blue jacket.

Cpl. Jamie Chung said investigators believe the man with the glasses steals from the store almost on a daily basis; on that day, he is said to have swiped a bottle of Crown Royal.

“At this time, we have no evidence to suggest the two men are associated to each other but they allegedly committed the theft at the same time,” Chung said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police

MY NISSAN

PINETREE

The Watkins Avenue green street pilot program in Coquitlam has been a success and now a framework needs to be developed to allow the initiative to spread to other parts of the city.

That was the message from planning staff during Monday’s council-incommittee meeting when they presented a series of ideas on how the program could be enhanced and improved.

The Watkins Avenue green street was approved in 2006, turning the block between Collins Road and Marguerite Street on Burke Mountain into a lawncovered park.

Michael Dhaliwal, a development planner with the city, said the initiative has been popular with residents in the area.

“Overall, it has been a safe, comfortable and connecting place,” he said. “A lot of residents said they felt they wouldn’t know their neighbours without being connected to the street.”

The Watkins Avenue green space is 70 m long and 20 m wide. To allocate for the loss of parking and a front road access, the lanes behind the homes that line the park are 6.6 m curb to curb, wider than the traditional 4.5 m.

A survey of residents in a 100 m area around the block found that most people favour having the green space in their neighbourhood. Of the 28 respondents, 92% said they would buy their home again on the green street. Another 60% who do not live on the green street said they would buy a home in front of the green space.

There was also no indication that the green street hurt property values, Dhaliwal said, noting that homes on Watkins Avenue sold for similar prices as homes on regular streets in the area.

The survey also found that: • 80% of respondents said visitors were able to find parking; • 82% of respondents owned two or fewer cars; • and 79% of respondents said they used the green street regularly.

“Generally, adults have been using the space to interact with neighbours,” Dhaliwal said. “Children have been using the space for outdoor play.”

Still, staff made several recommendations they said council should consider when moving forward with a framework for green streets.

The city is responsible for mowing the lawn on the green space and the land is public property. But Dhaliwal said that to some residents, the park seems like a private area reserved

HOMELESSNESS IN TRI-CITIES

24-hour staffing planned for Coq. shelter continued from front page

An information sheet will be distributed and RainCity has a page dedicated to 3030 Gordon Avenue on its website (www.raincityhousing.org) that has a place to email questions.

24 HOURs

Spear said he hopes to build on relations from previous design workshops that involved the community and when the shelter and transition housing complex opens up next fall, a community advisory committee will be in place and there will be open houses, barbecues and opportunities in the future for people to volunteer and make donations.

Staff will be on site 24 hours a day and while Spear doesn’t anticipate problems, he said his organization has maintained good relations with the community in other projects because issues and concerns are dealt with courteously and as quickly as possible.

“We want to operate with pride and build those relationships [the question we are asking is] how can we continue to have that open approach.”

HFFs OUTREACH

One issue RainCity is working through with the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group, which has spearheaded the facility, is how to keep volunteers involved after the temporary bridge shelter run by the Hope for Freedom Society in five local churches is phased out.

One of the critical factors in obtaining BC Housing funding and endorsement of the Coquitlam facility is the depth of commitment and involvement by church groups, schools and residents in supporting people who are homeless, said Spear, who acknowledged that donations and volunteers will still be needed once the facility is open.

And he said there will still be an important role to play for HFFS outreach workers who will continue to work with homeless people in the Tri-Cities once 3030 Gordon is up and running, only they will have more options for support, he said.

“They will have a whole new capacity,” he said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

This is an illustration of the homeless shelter planned for 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam. It will be run by the RainCity Housing and open next year.

Advocate Burpee eager for shelter opening Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Sandy Burpee’s smile was as wide as the hat brim keeping the rain off his face when asked about a homeless shelter and transition housing now under construction in Coquitlam.

It’s been more than 10 years since the issue of homelessness topped the community agenda and seeing excavators digging

at the site and construction fencing in place for the new facility at 3030 Gordon Ave. makes the usually reserved affordable housing advocate almost gleeful.

“It’s exciting, yes,” acknowledged Burpee as he sat in a car for an interview while seeking refuge from the downpour.

“There is still great need out there,” he said, leaving unsaid the obvious — that even now there are dozens

of homeless people in the Tri-Cities waiting out the same downpour but in less than hospitable circumstances.

Even with the bridge shelter, which offers three square meals and a mat to sleep on for up to 30 people a night in local churches for six months a year, there is no place to go for people who are homeless once they are bused out of the facility, situated temporar-

ily from now until Dec. 31 at St. Andrew’s United Church in Port Moody, where it will stay until its relocation to a church in Coquitlam.

Most of the homeless who spend the night at the PoMo church will likely be bused to an undisclosed location in Port Coquitlam, where they will stay until the evening, when it’s time to queue up for the bus, operated by the Hope for Freedom Outreach Society,

appearing in the area these days, and many are using the bridge shelter, which has been running near capacity of late.

“The need has become more apparent this fall,” said Burpee.

“It has been a long time coming,” said Burpee, adding with his trademark optimism, “I’ve always had faith that it would be built.”

FortisBC wants to twin its existing line between the north end of the Coquitlam watershed and a smallscale liquefied natural gas project at the Woodfibre industrial site in Squamish.

The work would also require the addition of two new electrically driven compressor stations on Eagle Mountain.

The company said the work is necessary to improve the efficiency of its pipeline system.

T

representatives have been working with city staff to potentially build a hiking trail connection that would link the top of the Coquitlam Crunch to the area around FortisBC’s new compressor station.

“Your staff have provided plans for the trail and the proposed configuration of what you want us to build,” he said. “We have put a lot of thought into it and we are moving forward on the basis that we would like to help you out with that.”

a

Public consultation on FortisBC’s twinning of a natural gas pipeline between Coquitlam and Squamish will be ramping up in the coming months.

James Lota, project assessment and development manager with the company, told Coquitlam’s council-in-committee that following the filing of its environmental assessment application this month, it will begin the process of engaging residents.

“This is what we are getting ramped up to do right now,” he said during Monday’s meeting. “We are going to have a few open houses — one in Coquitlam in the new year. We are also opening up a storefront in Squamish… so that people can talk to us directly.”

The environmental certificate and the oil and gas permits are expected to be approved by June 2015, Lota said. If all goes according to plan, construction could be starting this time next year and the line could be operational by the summer of 2016.

When Lota last updated council on the project in July, he was told by city manager Peter Steblin that Coquitlam would be looking for co-operation with FortisBC on an amenity project.

On Monday, Lota reported that company

There are few advocates as staunch as Mary Anne Cooper when it comes to preserving Port Moody’s heritage, and she’s now turning her eye to the Ioco community hall.

She addressed council at the Oct. 28 meeting, saying the city was not holding up its end of the bargain to maintain the historic building and it’s been left to deteriorate for the past 12 years.

Imperial Oil has taken care of the roof, Cooper added, but she said the interior is a “disaster,” cataloguing a list of needed repairs: leaky pipes, faulty electricity, poor lighting and blocked exits.

“Ioco Community Hall is being lost and it has community value,” she wrote in a letter to council. “It’s one of the few remaining company towns in western Canada.”

Council agreed to have staff investigate the matter and report back at the next meeting.

Other news:

deterioration of three out of the five heater units.

The heaters are activated by spectators through a timed pushbutton switch and each of the five bleacher heaters has its own switch.

Replacement of the heaters is just outside the five-year capital plan but with the cost of repairs near that of replacing them, staff recommended purchasing new heaters.

The $15,000 cost will be funded from the nearly $32,000 in savings from the Westhill pool tank repair project.

OUR OPINION

#IVoteBecause

V

oter turnout is dropping in all elections but it’s most dismal at the municipal level, where, ironically people have the most say in what goes on. in 2011’s general civic elections, for example, Port moody had the highest turnout in the tri-cities at a paltry 26% — and the numbers dropped from there, with coquitlam at 21.7% and Port coquitlam at 18.6%. the reasons 70% to 80% don’t vote are many and growing with each election, from lack of engagement and cynicism to the difficulty and work involved in obtaining information. according to a recent study by the columbia institute, non-voters are not lazy or ignorant. in fact, they may simply weigh the work involved in voting against their own self interest. if they don’t know who is running or don’t see an issue important to them, they may just stay home. and so this year’s election may be another bust — unless we can appeal to a voter’s sense of duty. that’s why this year, The Tri-City News is reminding people about the importance of voting and what they can do to inform themselves through our #IVoteBecause and #IVotedTC campaigns. also, using social media and our print publication, including the three city-specific VoteSmart voters’ guides coming out in Friday’s paper, we are trying to make information as accessible as possible to encourage voters to participate. if things are easy, we hope, the cost/benefit analysis could tip in the voters’ favour. admittedly, the process can be daunting because there are so many candidates to choose from. but there are ways to get information that don’t require a Phd in political science. Watch the candidate videos at tricitynews.com under the election tab; look for cues such as union endorsements and candidate alignment; read the candidates’ write-ups in the VoteSmart voters’ guides. then make a selection. it’s akin to a job interview and you, the voter are hiring someone who will make decisions in your backyard about taxes, livability and quality of education.

VictOria he climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the b.c. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry. chilliwack-hope b.c. liberal mla laurie throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. the religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed: deniers, believers and so on. throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world. needless to say, Green Party mla and climate scientist andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy while ndP mlas lined up behind former sierra club high priest George heyman to ridicule throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal. i’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in canada and elsewhere. and i agree with throness’ main point that b.c. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out.

most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have, at best, visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. so today i’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern b.c. natural gas is mostly methane — the main ingredient in farts. it is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel. raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the horn river basin, one of b.c.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10% or more cO2, more than conventional gas. b.c.’s most lucrative gas field is the montney shale around Fort st. John, which contains nearly cO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids. (this is similar to the bakken shale in north dakota, where american roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids.

Oddly, President barack Obama and singer neil young

don’t notice this.)

Weaver and the ndP are correct in their main objection, which is that the b.c. government’s new limits on cO2 from lnG production are a sham. as much as 70% of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the lnG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate. cO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. a government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store cO2 at spectra energy’s operations at Fort nelson seems to be going nowhere. restricting lnG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture. environment minister mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. big lnG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool lnG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund. if lnG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means b.c.’s greenhouse gas-reduction targets are history. the question now is how much that actually matters.

PORT MOODY ELECTION

Slamming the slates Re. “MP steps into PoMo civic race” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 29) and “MP Donnelly pushing slate politics in PoMo” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Oct. 29).

The Editor, I was thrilled when I learned there were going to be two candidates for mayor in Port Moody this fall as it is a position that should never be awarded by acclamation.

I have valued and executed my right to vote at all levels of government. I look forward to determining who has earned my support, either by proven capability or new assets being brought to the table. I like to take some time to reflect on each individual who has put their name on the ballot for my consideration.

The notion of slate politics has never been supported in Port Moody for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that you no longer have a healthy democracy at work but the potential for party politics to reign.

I received a glossy pamphlet in the mail introducing this slate under the guise of an endorsement from NDP MP Fin Donnelly (New WestminsterCoquitlam).

The definition of a slate, according to the Wiki dictionary, is “A group of candidates that run in multi-seat or multi-position elections on a common platform. The common platform may be because the candidates are all members of a political party, have the same or similar policies, or some other

ENDORSEMENTS AREN’T NEW

The Editor, The endorsing of candidates in Port Moody is nothing new, as was suggested by letter writer Tarry Grieve, nor is it new for like-minded candidates to seek endorsement from those who share their values.

I was president of CUPE Local 825 for 25 years until retiring in 2011. During that time, I was involved in interviewing and endorsing candidates. A letter and polling card was sent to all CUPE members living in Port Moody asking that they give their vote to CUPE-endorsed candidates. CUPE has again endorsed candidates for the upcoming election, as reported in The Tri-City News.

Is Tarry Grieve telling us not to vote for candidates endorsed by CUPE as well?

MP Fin Donnelly’s endorsement has nothing to do with party lines and more to do with the fact these candidates have demonstrated that they are open minded, reflective and can work collaboratively.

Maria Wahl, Port Moody Editor’s note: Ms. Wahl is a volunteer with the election campaign of mayoral candidate Gaetan Royer. reason.” As the old adage says, if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck… The fact that they all contributed financially creates the common bond necessary to call it a “slate.”

To add insult to injury, mayoral candidate Gaetan Royer stated that he was not aware of who had paid for the pamphlet. Either he doesn’t know how his team is spending his campaign funds or he does. This is a concern on so many levels.

I want to vote for someone who shows leadership, not someone who stands behind semantics and rhetoric.

Tanyse Billas, Port Moody

NOT IN MOODY

The Editor, I’d like to thank NDP Fin Donnelly (New Westminster-Coquitlam)

for identifying a slate of candidates for our upcoming Port Moody municipal election. In my opinion, that slate is bringing a clear political lineage to the council chambers of Port Moody with a high likelihood of block voting.

Port Moody council is far too small to have such a group, whose response to the wishes of its citizens may come second to a established agenda.

Councillors have to feel free to participate as individuals with the best outcomes of the citizens foremost. Look at the ongoing polarization in Vancouver municipal politics, something our small community has to resist.

Gerry Moss, Port Moody

‘ORANGE WAVE’ The Editor,

SCHOOL TRUSTEES

Fiscal failure bigger issue with trustees The Editor, Re. “Trustee Alty should serve where she lives: Ginter” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Oct. 22) and “Trustee’s experience is what matters” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Oct. 29).

I think that the letters to the editor regarding school trustees have missed the point.

It is not about where they live — although one would think they would live in the city they serve

— or whether they are nice people. It is about being fiscally responsible to the taxpayers and residents of the Tri-Cities.

The incumbent trustees have failed miserably at their jobs, resulting in a massive deficit, numerous cuts to programs and services, and many job losses for teachers and support staff.

So Gail Alty, a Coquitlam trustee and a resident of Sooke, is running for re-election even

though she does not need the job, has a new marriage and a very long commute but thinks we should want to vote for her “experience.” Look what that got us last time.

We have seen this over and over with people who are entrenched in their positions. They start to believe their own egos and forget about why they were voted in the first place.

Time for a change.

Nadine Ford, Coquitlam

When riding the Orange Wave, the NDP had visions of controlling the destiny of the country. Fortunately, this was not to be and the polls now place it in its usual last place amongst the major parties.

Likewise here in B.C., the NDP thought it was on the verge of a breakthrough during the last election but when voters had to finally choose, they choose wisely and placed the NDP in the dustbin.

Now, the NDP and the unions have decided that they belong in the cities.

The NDP reps and their union cousins are telling us that they have the right people with the all answers for fixing the city ailments.

Here in the Tri-Cities, the union bosses have been spreading money amongst a number of candidates to ensure they have an open road to the city treasury.

Municipal candidates who accept campaign contributions from CUPE cannot possibly be objective when conflicting issues come up.

To cap off this insult to the voters, NDP MP Fin Donnelly (New Westminster-Coquitlam) is telling Port Moody voters who he thinks should be supported.

We do not like to have our intelligence questioned and there will be surprises on election day.

There are other candidates to support who will base their political decisions on fiscal reality that are best for the community they represent.

Cooper, 100, gets her Way

PoCo picks its favourite businesses

Community leaders, politicians and heritage buffs helped a Port Moody resident celebrate her 100th birthday — just days after she appeared at council to raise a concern.

The event celebrating the life of Mary Anne Cooper was held at the Port Moody Station Museum last Thursday and curator Jim Millar said while the centenary is an important milestone, it’s hardly Cooper’s only accomplishment.

Cooper also helped raise awareness about the

Seven Port Coquitlam businesses were honoured last week by the city for their outstanding customer service and operations.

Last Thursday, Mayor Greg Moore and council handed out trophies at the second annual PoCo Best Biz Awards gala, which was held at the PoCo Inn and Suites.

Of the 3,200 businesses in the city, 69 were nominated for an accolade. Those picked by a committee as winners were: • Port Coquitlam Bowl for the Super Service Award (other finalists were Art Knapp and Meridian Meats); • Pomme Natural Market for the Living Green Award (other finalists were Corner Sports and Custom Air Conditioner); • Lifetime Heritage Films for the Home-based Business Award (other finalists were Coracle Marketing and Nurse Next Door); • Northern Gold Foods for the PoCo Star Award (other finalists were Meridian Meats and Pomme Natural Market); • Cap’s Westwood Cycle for the Giving Back Award (other finalists were Art Knapp and VanCity); • and Sushi K Kamizato and The Dog Patch (tie) for the People’s Choice Award.

SUTER BROOK

Daycare plans changed SARAH PAYNE

2014/2015

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Plans for a daycare in the new office building at Suter Brook are back on the drawing board.

Port Moody council did not support an application that came before it in July after a public hearing that raised concerns about traffic congestion, parking, safety and other potential uses for 220 Brew St. Since the public hearing, Onni Development has stepped up parking enforcement at Suter Brook, including a two-week warning period in August followed by ticketing that has reduced the number of parking offences, according to a staff report.

Onni has also contracted a traffic engineer to draft improvements to the parkade entrances at Morrissey Road and Brew Street. The proposed changes include installing barriers at the base of Morrissey to facilitate traffic movement, adding flashing amber lights and improving paint markings and speed humps.

Concerns about parking are addressed in Onni’s new plan to devote 19 spaces for peak morning and afternoon hours. A transportation consultant determined that for a 157child daycare, there would be up to 254 in/out trips daily but that would likely be reduced to 178 trips after factoring in families living nearby and walking to the daycare, people working in the office building and using the facility, and families with more than one child at the daycare.

LIEDER SHE WROTE! Featuring

Lambroula Maria Pappas with pianist David Bergeron

For centuries, women composers and performers were kept from public view.

Tradition deemed it proper that females confine themselves to the domestic arts and leave the concert hall to the men!

SARAH PAYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

From left, Markus Fahrner, Guy Black and Jim Millar dressed in First World War uniforms (on loan from Parks Canada) for the Port Moody council meeting on Oct. 28, where they received an official city flag that they’ll carry on their 100-km walk from the PoMo cenotaph to Victoria. The group were to leave the cenotaph (2513 Clarke St.) at 6 a.m. today (Wednesday), arriving at the Victoria cenotaph to lay a poppy wreath just before 10 a.m. on Nov. 6, when they’ll meet Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer. Commemorating the centennial of the Great War, the walk also honours the 55 Port Moody men who served, five of whom died.

The parking plan notes that even with dedicated spaces for the daycare, there will still be a total surplus of about 30 spaces for the parkade as a whole.

As well, Onni is proposing to make up to 10 spaces on the Brew Street frontage restricted to 15-minute parking, which could be

used by parents for drop-off and pick-up.

At last week’s meeting, council considered Onni’s amended land use contract that would restrict use of the second floor to an office or daycare. Council passed second reading of the amended bylaw and approved a public hearing

that is scheduled for Nov. 25 at city hall.

In the summer, Onni said it was close to signing a 15-year lease, with an option to extend for five years, with Kids & Company, a national, corporate-owned daycare operator. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Before Star Trek: explorers and fur traders of North America “…to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations…”

– The Captain’s Oath from the Star Trek

O

ur beautiful country was unveiled by people who were no ordinary tourists.

They braved the elements, were exposed to danger and ventured into the unknown. I decided to have a look at some of their stories.

The Red Sash by Jean E. Pendziwol, with pictures

by Nicolas Debon, is a children’s story about life in the trading posts of Fort William in the early 1800s.

Readers see it through the eyes of siblings and the book provides interesting and factual descriptions of the North West Company fur trade. There is a canoe trip as well as a storm, a rescue and happy dancing at the end. I enjoyed reading this story and hope your children will, too.

a good read for the entire family.

Into the Heart of Country

by Pauline Holdstocks is also a fascinating and moving story about the role of women in the fur trade.

This tragic yet beautiful narrative, based on the history of the Hudson Bay Company, is slow, deep and insightful. It highlights the co-dependence of two cultures for survival and for the fate of their children.

Although this book is quite different from the others featured here, I enjoyed reading it immensely.

You can register your tree before Nov. 17 to take part in the second annual Port Coquitlam Christmas Festival, and to be added to the Guide to Christmas in PoCo. This is a fun way to promote your business and community group either at your location or one of the public locations (Heritage at Leigh Square, Library, Rec Centre, Hyde Creek or the Forest of Festival Trees in Leigh Square).

The Christmas Festival runs from Nov. 29 through Jan. 3, starting with Christmas in Leigh Square, an event that includes music, entertainment, craft making, treats, a Forest of Festival Trees, a glow stick parade, baking competitions, a community mural, decorating a community tree, celebrity tree decorating contest, prize tree auction, Santa’s arrival and the lighting of Leigh Square complete with a laser show.

The Christmas Festival is aimed at bringing together PoCo businesses, community organizations and the public.

Funds raised go to the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society, which helps preserve and promote Port Coquitlam’s history.

reader with more moral questions than answers.

Presented from a feminine point of view, Woman of the Paddle Song by Elizabeth Clutton-Brock is a fascinating story of David Thompson and his family during the time when they were establishing routes through the Rocky Mountains. Although the work is fiction, it is based on writings of explorer, surveyor and mapmaker David Thompson and his Scots-Cree wife, Charlotte Small. David Thompson is acknowledged here as a North West Company fur trader who mapped the border between the U.S.A. and Canada. This book is both entertaining and interesting, and definitely

ner of the Great Lakes Book Award. The Broken Blade

by William Durbin is a compelling read for juvenile audience. It is a tale of 13-year-old Pierre, enlisting to work as a voyageur to support his family. This book is filled with historical details and brilliant humour. The reader feels like being inside the canoe and seeing the landscape with her own eyes. Reading this novel, I became intimately familiar with the Great Lakes and the routes taken to deliver furs to and from Grand Portage.

The Adventures of Radisson: Hell Never Burns

by Martin Fournier is a tale of survival and the search for identity. Pierre Esprit-Radisson was born in France in 1636 and came to Canada as a young boy.

He was kidnapped and adopted by the Iroquois.

Eventually, he became a coureur du bois.

Why did his life appeal to me so greatly? Maybe because Radisson was such a young person when he was faced with choices that are hard to make, even for a man.

As a teenager, he was immersed in three different

Strong Leadership. Proven Results.

I’ve never had to publish an ad like this before . . .

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT! It’s time to start correcting some of the many inaccurate, misleading, or false statements being made in this campaign.

Councillor Sekora: “The other day the Federal Government gave us $4.5 million for gas taxes. Guess what? The Mayor spent it [rather than using it to lower taxes].”

- Shaw Mayoral Debate, Oct 28

FACT: It wasn’t $4.5 million, it was $410,000. Under the Gas Tax program criteria, the funds must be spent on “investments in capital and capacity-building projects.” The investments chosen by Council included a range of parks amenities, along with wheelchair accessibility and traffic safety projects. And while Councillor Sekora appears to oppose those investments now, at the Sept 15th meeting he spoke (and voted) in favour of them; as both the Minutes and the webcast video will attest, it passed unanimously.

Read the report: http://tinyurl.com/CoqGasTax Councillor Sekora: “Public Safety has been on the chopping block.” [referring to police cuts] Oct 22 All-Candidates’ Meeting

FACT: In the last nine years, we’ve added police resources in every budget, a total of 34 new police, resulting in strong reductions in crime rates. Lou voted against every one of those budgets. We also invested in public safety by adding 42 firefighters, our traffic safety program, crosswalk improvements, etc.

Councillor Sekora: “You know how I got picked for Acting Mayor? The [city] staff tells me when I’m going to be Acting Mayor. And that’s a fact.” Shaw Mayoral Debate Oct 28

Get started in 4 simple steps

M E D I A PA RT N E R S :

Councillor Sekora: Various comments about how Lou won’t allow Dogwood Pavilion to close, or to change from a seniors’ centre.

FACT: Not sure where the rumour comes from, but all of Council reaffirmed that our cherished Dogwood Pavilion will remain for seniors, and will not be closing or changing. In fact, we just completed a major expansion of Dogwood a few years ago, and we’ll undoubtedly need to continue to expand both Dogwood and Glen Pine for our growing seniors population.

Councillor Sekora: “The Acting Mayor will be selected by the Mayor” (same with Metro Directors, Advisory Committees, etc.) (Sekora Campaign ad, Oct 8)

FACT: None of that is legal under provincial legislation. All of those appointments must be made by Council, not by the Mayor, to prevent abuse of power.

Councillor Sekora: “We will put power in these Parks: Blue Mountain, Mackin and Coquitlam Town Centre, so we don’t have to rent generators and pollute the air any longer.”

Oct 22 All-Candidates’ Meeting

FACT: Those parks already have power. We installed power

several years ago in all three of those parks, along with several others.

Councillor Sekora: “Lou will not support an American-style private hospital on Riverview Lands as suggested by some politicians.”

FACT: I’ve never heard any politician at any level suggest such a thing. One lobbyist made such a suggestion, but it was resoundingly rejected as completely inconsistent with the FACT: Actually, Councillors set the Acting Mayor schedule. city’s vision, and with the Canada Health Act. I would never Lou voted in favour of the process, in which individual Councilsupport such a thing. We have proposed a Center-of-Excellors choose their preferred six-week time periods to serve as lence for the treatment of mental health and addictions, along Acting Mayor at events when I have conflicts. Staff don’t tell with a PUBLIC regional hospital to serve our residents here in Councillor Sekora when he is Acting Mayor, though they may the Tri-Cities. Our vision has been widely supported by other remind him of the dates that he chose. cities, the mental health sector, and our community.

Lest We Forget

The History of the Poppy

Each November, Poppies blossom on the lapels and collars of over half of Canada’s entire population. Since 1921, the Poppy has stood as a symbol of Remembrance, our visual pledge to never forget all those Canadians who have fallen in war and military operations. The Poppy also stands internationally as a “symbol of collective reminiscence”, as other countries have also adopted its image to honour those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

This significance of the Poppy can be traced to international origins.

The association of the Poppy to those who had been killed in war has existed since the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before being adopted in Canada. There exists a record from that time of how thickly Poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. This early connection between the Poppy and battlefield deaths described how fields that were barren before the battles exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended.

Just prior to the First World War, few Poppies grew in Flanders. During the tremendous bombardments of that war, the chalk soils became

rich in lime from rubble, allowing “popaver rhoes” to thrive. When the war ended, the lime was quickly absorbed and the Poppy began to disappear again.

The person who was responsible more than any other for the adoption of the Poppy as a symbol of Remembrance in Canada and the Commonwealth was Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian Medical Officer during the First World War.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie – John McCrae In Flanders fields.

ELECTION 2014

Are the arts in the mayoral campaigns?

BY JANIS WARREN THE TRI-CITY NEWS

As part of The Tri-City News’ ongoing coverage of the municipal election — and on the heels of Coquitlam’s $100,000 arts, culture and heritage strategic plan launch — we asked mayoralty candidates in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody (aka The City of the Arts) to answer three questions about how they see the arts thriving under their leadership.

Here are their responses:

COQUITLAM

LOU SEKORA • What is the most press-

ing priority for arts and culture in your city? For about 15 years now, there has been no money spent on our cultural centres, Place des Arts, Evergreen Cultural Centre and Mackin House Museum. We must invest in our future.

• Would you be prepared to dedicate at least 1% of future development cost charges to arts and culture?

The figure of 1% is too low as there is lots of catch-up needed and if development slows down then the 1% will also slow down. We need an infusion of more than 1%, which I am committed to.

• When was the last time you visited a city-owned

arts facility and for what reason? I have visited them on a regular basis to see how they operate and to see how taxpayers money can be best spent on these facilities.

RICHARD STEWART • What is the most pressing priority for arts and culture in your city?

Certainly it’s the arts culture and heritage strategic plan currently underway, a plan that will use wide input from users, partners and citizens to set targets and priorities, identify facility requirements and the strategies to bring them to fruition. The plan will set out such important needs

as theatre and rehearsal space, a festival site, accommodating growth in community/cultural events, museum/heritage space, etc., along with the need to support the valued organizations that deliver much of that service to our community.

Would you be prepared to dedicate at least 1% of future development cost charges to arts and culture?

Unfortunately, that isn’t permitted under the DCC legislation as there are very strict limits to what development cost charges can be used for; however, I would definitely support that kind of funding dedication (and certainly more than 1%)

NEW ANDOUS ICI L E D

out of our new community amenity contribution and/or the density bonus program, both of which we have used to creatively support these kinds of important social needs in our community.

• When was the last time you visited a city-owned arts facility and for what reason? I likely visit a cityowned arts facility at least once each week for such things as exhibit openings at the art gallery at Evergreen or for programming at Place des Arts. I participated in Culture Days at Mackin House and Place Maillardville and even celebrated Halloween with a visit to Place des Arts

in Maillardville.

POCO

ERIC HIRVONEN Did not respond.

GREG MOORE • What is the most pressing priority for arts and culture in your city? We need to develop an arts and culture strategic plan that would be driven by the users. Ultimately, we need to create a Port Coquitlam Arts and Culture Alliance, similar to our successful PoCo Sports Alliance, to give arts and culture a bigger voice in our community.

• Would you be prepared to dedicate at least 1% of

future development cost charges to arts and culture?

We don’t actually have the authority to charge an arts DCC; however, I would be in favour of diverting a portion of the current 5% park acquisition DCC to arts and culture.

• When was the last time you visited a cityowned arts facility and for what reason? I was at the Gathering Place a couple weeks ago for the opening of Colin Craig’s art show, which is excellent and I would encourage everyone to check it out.

PDA FACULTY CONCERT

Pappas uncovers songs by women composers

BY JANIS WARREN THE TRI-CITY NEWS

There’s the story about the woman who died at 25.

Another about an expectant mother who fled into the woods after her husband threatened to kill her and their unborn child. And the tale about the bride of a prominent physician 25 years her senior who shut down her career.

These three women not only had unbelievable lives, they also shared a profession: composing.

But, because of the times they lived in, their classical music was hardly played or celebrated by the masses.

This month, operatic soprano Lambroula Maria Pappas hopes to shed a little light on the work of seven female writers: Clara Schumann, Amy Beach, Pauline Viardot, Germaine Tailleferre, Vítezslava Kaprálová, Rebecca Clarke and Jocelyn Morlock.

Pappas and pianist David Bergeron — a UBC PhD — will play a number of their songs as part of a faculty concert on Nov. 15 at Place des Arts in Coquitlam, where Pappas teaches voice (they will stage another show at UBC the following week for a lunch-hour music series).

The idea for Leider, She Wrote came after the pair played last year at the West Point Grey United Church in a show titled Songs My Mother Taught Me. “We just really enjoyed the woman aspect to it and I was a new mother,” Pappas remembered. “Then we thought, no one ever sings this stuff so we searched for music that we really loved listening to and singing and playing.”

Pappas said pieces by early female composers are under-performed as they were never promoted. In the 19th century, women were homemakers and although their musical talents were appreciated — as was the case for prodigy Clara Schumann, wife of Robert Schumann — their compositions were not taken seriously.

Pappas pays special tribute to Kaprálová, a Czech composer and conductor who passed away in 1940 at the age of 25. “The music she composed is the most amazing thing you have ever heard in your life,” she said. “It’s just a shame she died so young because she would have been one of the top, top composers.”

In fact, Kaprálová has such a fan base today that the Kaprálová Society, a non-profit arts group in Toronto, asks performers to contact them so they can advertise a Canadian concert in which her work will be heard.

Also on the Nov. 15 program are: four

(France); four tunes from Six Chanson Francaises by Tailleferre (France), which are dedicated to women in tumultuous relation-

ships; Clarke (England) songs based on poetry by W.B. Yeats; and Somewhere C Along the Line by Morlock M (Canada), currently a Vancouver Symphony Y Orchestra composer-inCM residence.

Pappas said she will MY provide a backgrounder to CY the female composers and their pieces before she sings CMY each set.

Preserving Riverview for Mental Health, for Coquitlam The 244-acre Riverview Hospital heritage site has a 100year history of serving BC in mental health and wellness.

Richard has always believed that we could find a way to renew this site for mental health, an issue that is very close to his heart. For the past 20 years he has supported preserving the site for future generations.

As Mayor, Richard worked with the Province for three years, and last year we finally achieved a unique land use planning process to examine the future of this treasured site. A year ago, Mayor Stewart proposed that Council develop a detailed vision for the site. Dr. John Higenbottam, former VP of Riverview, was brought in to give structure and validation to the proposal.

Five months ago, the City advanced a vision for a Coquitlam Health Campus at Riverview, including both a state-of-the-art mental health and addictions treatment, and an public acute care hospital similar to Royal Columbian, to serve our community’s aging population. This is a bold vision, one that has already been widely supported.

We will need to build consensus, and nurture alliances and support across the region and province, if we are to keep this cherished site in public hands, serving our region.

And there is reason for optimism; last month saw the re-opening of the first Riverview building – Hillside – for the kind of service Coquitlam proposed, with more to come. This, together with the opening of our Coquitlam Homeless Shelter in a few months, will help address homelessness and addictions in our community.

“I and other members of Council have met with most of Cabinet, and with a Riverview needs to stay variety of stakeholders, in public hands, providing medical professionals, and community leaders. We’re public health care and mental health treatment.” building collaboration and – Mayor Richard Stewart consensus; I believe we can finally achieve certainty for our residents who are very passionate about both mental health and the Riverview Lands. Stand with me as we pursue this vision for renewed public health care at Riverview.” - Richard

WIND ENSEMBLE

MISS WORLD

PSWE opens with a world premiere

ON THE PAGEANT WEB

BY JANIS WARREN THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Familiar tunes from Canada’s classical music catalogue will be trumpeted for the opening season of the Pacific Symphonic Wind Ensemble (PSWE).

The Coquitlam-based band will showcase works such as Snake Fence Country by Howard Cable, Turkey in the Straw, Newfoundland and Quebec folk songs as well as compositions by Robert Farnon and Stephen Chatman at its matinee show on Sunday.

But perhaps the most highly anticipated event of the concert will be the world premiere of The Tribe Part 1, a 21-minute piece recently penned by PSWE conductor and saxophonist David Branter.

Its four movements are each based on a person who has inspired Branter: • Eric, a late friend, is remembered with jazz; • his son is characterized with classical rock and metal riffs; • his daughter is honoured with improvisation through Whispered Songs — that is, squeaky sounds she projects while busy on the computer “and, since I’m her dad, are totally precious and have stayed in my head,” he said; • and an unknown band

Port Moody’s own Mr. World Canada 2012/’13 will be taking part in the Miss World pageant 2014.

Next month, singer, actor, debate coach and model Frankie Cena will be the web presenter on the show that last year saw a record 127

countries compete in the beauty contest.

The international event takes place on Dec. 14 in London, England.

New ideas to funding future arts programs from page A24

POMO

MIKE CLAY • What is the most pressing priority for arts and culture in your city? We have recently expanded the arts centre through repurposing of the Appleyard heritage house, and now they can expand the programming to bring further life to that centre. We need to continue on development of our cultural precinct/district around the arts centre and encourage more private arts studios in that area. We have an exceptional opportunity with the Moody middle school redevelopment of ‘school of the arts’ to work with the district and local arts and culture groups to open up new opportunities for theatre, dance, visual and performing arts classes there to outreach to younger members of our communities in a purposebuilt environment.

• Would you be prepared to dedicate at least 1% of

future development cost charges to arts and culture?

We currently have a public art policy to provide annual funding to public art 0.3% of all operating and capital projects, 1% of construction projects for major capital projects and 0.5% of construction budget for private development projects. This policy was amended this past year to include the 0.3% of the operating and capital projects and should continue to be reviewed for effectiveness.

• When was the last time you visited a city-owned arts facility and for what reason? Yesterday, to check out a painting as a gift idea for a friend.

GAETAN ROYER • What is the most pressing priority for arts and culture in your city? It is important that Port Moody create a critical mass of employment, a large percentage of which should be creative industries located in Moody Centre.

This will ensure that sizable investors, employers, events and activities are

attracted to a more vibrant Moody Centre. This will be achieved through a revised community plan that clearly connects land use, jobs, public space and amenities in a master plan that will guide development in Moody Centre.

• Would you be prepared to dedicate at least 1% of future development cost charges to arts and culture? I would agree with a proposal to add 1% for arts and culture to the amount that is currently being collected for development cost charges. I would disagree with charging 1% of the total building value.

• When was the last time you visited a city-owned arts facility and for what reason? In the past 30 days, I was at the Gallery Bistro attending Soup Sisters and the Tri-Cities Green Drinks, the Port Moody Arts Centre for a gallery opening, the Blue Mountain Quilters Guild Show and the Evergreen Theatre season opening. @jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

Rare win for Cats as team’s struggles continue

By Gary McKEnna The Tri-CiTy News

hope of a comeback for the Rivermen with an empty net goal with a minute left in the game.

With the wins, Coquitlam is now out of the Mainland Division basement, three points ahead of Surrey and four points back from Langley.

The club will host Salmon Arm on Wednesday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex before the Surrey Eagles visit on Friday.

For more information go to www.coquitlamexpress.ca.

The Port Moody Panthers notched their fourth win of the season Saturday night when the Mission City Outlaws came to town.

The game was a backand-forth affair, with neither side dominating in the first two periods of play.

Port Moody’s Daniel Szpakowski opened the scoring when he buried a pass from line mate Adam Rota, before Mission’s Bryce Pisiak got his team on the board with a power play marker.

Port Moody took a twogoal lead in the second with tallies from Eric Malli and Derian White, but the Outlaws fought back with two goals of their own, including a power play marker with one second left in the frame.

However, Port Moody found an edge in the third period, holding the Outlaws to just three shots in the final 20 minutes.

Penalty trouble cost Mission, with Rota and Szpakowski each finding the back of the net to help their team to a 5-3 victory when the final buzzer sounded.

The two players, along with forward Derian White, were stars of the game and net minder Spencer Kozlowski stopped 28 of the 31 shots he faced.

But the week was not all rosy for the struggling Cats, who currently sit in last place in the Pacific Junior Hockey League with 4-13-0-1.

The club dropped a 7-5 decision at home to the North Vancouver Wolfpack Monday night and on Friday lost 4-1 to the Abbotsford Pilots.

The Coquitlam Express appeared to be turning their BCHL season around last weekend, posting back-to-back wins against the Langley Rivermen. The club is now second to last in the Mainland Division and will play Salmon Arm tonight at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Puck drops at 7 p.m.

BCHL HOCKEY

Express takes two more victories Coquitlam sinks Rivermen in home-and-home

By Gary McKEnna The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Express had a happy Halloween.

The BCHL club posted back-to-back victories on the weekend during a home-and-home against the Langley Rivermen, the first time the struggling Coquitlam team has had more than one win in a row since the season began.

On Friday, Corey Mackin showed why he is the league-leading goal getter, potting three markers and adding two helpers in the match.

He added another goal and an assist the second night in Langley, putting him second behind West Kelowna’s Liam Blackburn for total points in the league so far this season.

Fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex were treated to a high-scoring affair on Halloween.

The Rivermen opened the scoring with a goal from Marcus Vela, before Mackin got his first of

the night on a pass from Daniel Fritz.

Langley’s Kevan Kilistoff made it 2-1 for the visitors on the power play before the first period ended.

However, the Express came on hard in the second.

Forward Brett Supinksi, who also had a strong game and was named second star of the night after Mackin, tied the game 42 seconds into the period.

The Rivermen’s Colton Kehler re-took the lead with a goal, but Supinski quickly tied things up and teammate Cody Boyd helped his club to a lead

with a power play goal with 1:30 left in the second.

Both clubs exchanged goals in the third — Langley’s coming from Mathew Graham and Kilistoff and Coquitlam’s coming from Daniel Fritz and Mackin — but the Express remained in the driver’s seat for most of the last period.

Mackin sealed the hat trick with an empty netter with 1:20 left before the buzzer sounded.

The venue was different but the result was the same 24 hours later when Coquitlam sank

the Rivermen 4-2 at the Langley Events Centre.

Jivan Sidhu opened the scoring for Coquitlam on the power play before Mackin made it 2-0 on a pass from Supinski.

Supinski, who was the first star of the game, scored his 15th of the season early in the second period to make it 3-0, but Langley was able to get on the board with a goal from Gage Torrel on the power play.

Langley’s Matthew Graham brought the game to within one goal, but Express forward Jackson Cressey stamped out any

MINOR SOCCER REPORT

Moody outguns visiting Westcoast The Port Moody Lordco Gunners kept their unbeaten streak alive with a 3-0 win over the Westcoast FC in under-21 soccer last weekend.

Junhyung Lee opened the scoring 18 minutes into the match, heading home a corner kick. Two minutes later Souta Nakayama headed a cross to make it 2-0 in a dominating first half.

The game evened out in the second with both teams having opportunities to score. Julian Katz closed out the match with a marker in the 91st minute.

were lucky to keep the Edge from taking a lead.

However, as the game wore on, the Coquitlam club’s midfield began to take control of the play.

Edge midfielder Justyna Pomalecki was hauled down after taking a pass from Annelise Denny, prompting a penalty.

Cassie Weimer kept her free-kick streak going as she calmly slotted the ball past the keeper to give her team a 1-0 lead.

That was all the club needed for the victory, as Angela Webster posted her second clean sheet in net for the Edge.

FINDING AN EDGE REBEL SOCCER

With second place in their division on the line, the Coquitlam Metro Ford Edge defeated the West Coast Impact 1-0 last week in under-18 girls soccer.

A goal from Christa Tascona was all the Coqutilam Metro Ford Rebels needed to defeat the Delta Coastal Selects in under-13 Select division girls soccer.

Toscona was on the end when she volleyed the ball past the opposing net

minder after taking a pass from teammates Lucia Zecca 10-minutes into the game.

After the marker, both teams hunkered down defensively and scoring chances were hard to come by for the visiting Coquitlam squad.

Jayden Bawden and Ava Mongrain kept the ball moving on the outside and generated a few quality chances, but they could not find the back of the net.

Thankfully, goaltender Milena Wilson had a strong game in net. Despite a second half break away and a dangerous free kick from outside the box, the net minder posted a clean sheet in the game.

With the win, the Rebels improve to 7-1-1. They will take on the Central City Breakers this weekend at Town Centre’s Cunnings Field playing for first place in the division. sports@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC
