As leaves change and drop to the ground across the Tri-Cities, colourfully adorned trees make a beautiful autumn backdrop to the activities of runners, walkers and strollers at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam. With the rain taking a break last Friday, there was lots of activity at Town Centre Park.

The tolls that are charged on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges should be extended to other Lower Mainland crossings so motorists are treated more fairly across the region. That’s one of the rec-
ommendations from the Business Council of B.C. in a white paper it released last week on the need to build much more infrastructure in the province and seek new ways of financing it. That report warns TransLink’s plan to toll a rebuilt Pattullo Bridge in the years ahead may force reform of the current practice of only tolling new or replacement crossings as they are built. “The imposition of a
third toll for a Fraser River crossing may be problematic and would exacerbate concerns over intra‐regional equity with respect to the user‐pay principle for transportation services,” the report says. “This makes it more urgent to look to longer‐term and more equitable solutions to tolling and road‐ use fees as a tool to finance transit and manage road volumes across the region.” see TIME-OF-DAY, page A14

COQUITLAM ELECTION
‘One voice with a chance slate hot topic at cQ candidates meeting to shape the future of your community...’ gary McKenna
the tri-city news
the tri-city news
The Tri-City News asked a number of prominent people in the community to say why they vote as a way of prompting non-voters to cast a ballot Nov. 15. Here’s what they said:
ann Kitching, Port Moody arts community representative:
“We are very privileged to live in a democracy but if we want continue to do so we must all find out as much about the candidates as we can and vote for the people who espouse similar views to our own. Municipal government is the level of government that affects us the most, therefore it is important that we make an informed choice about who we want to govern us, and we must all vote.”
Ken ipe, Dr. charles Best secondary school teacher
“With people in the world dying for democracy, we take this right too lightly. We need to admonish each other in this truly remarkable act.”
Elaine Golds, environmentalist, member of Burke Mountain Naturalists
“It is important to vote in municipal elections because local councils make important decisions about the shape and function of our communities — but an uninformed vote is worse that not voting at all. So, talk to your neighbours and get some feedback from those who follow council meetings — and remember, when voting for councillors, voting for less than a full slate for the candidate(s) you truly support actually gives your vote more weight.”
Barb Mancell (above), Elaine Golds (below) and sandy Burpee (right).
charley King, coquitlam teachers’ association president
“I vote because I care and because they’re not all the same. Many good, hardworking people run for elected office.”
sandy Burpee, tri-cities homelessness and housing task Group
“I vote in municipal elections because, of all levels of governments, the decisions my municipal government makes have the greatest day-to-day impact on the life and health of my community.”
Geoff scott, tri-cities community television
“Nov. 11 is Remembrance Day. Please consider thanking those who have fought for your freedom by actually taking the time to be part of our democratic process on Nov. 15.”
ian Mcarthur, coquitlam River watch
“Voting is our opportunity to make a difference and municipal elections give us the best chance to vote for candidates who envision a community where we would like to live.”
Martin wyant, cEO of share Family and community services
“You are one voice with a chance to shape the future of your community. It’s
only one voice but it’s your voice. We need you to be engaged, to care enough about your community to take a few minutes to cast your ballot.”
Barb Mancell, tri-cities literacy committee
“I vote because I can. There are so many places in the world where women are forbidden to vote. I also vote because I feel it is an opportunity for my voice to be heard.”
sEttiNG it stRaiGht • In The Tri-City News’ VoteSmart voters’ guide for Port Coquitlam (inside the Nov. 7 paper) it was reported council candidate Nancy McCurrach is backed by CUPE Local 498. She has also been endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council. • Re. “Advance turnout up and down in TriCities” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 7). The city of Port Coquitlam provided an incorrect number for voter turnout in the 2011 civic election. The actual voter turnout that year was 20.8%, not 18.6%.

Online outreach for the Tri-Cities’ Chamber of Commerce all-candidates’ meeting last week drew nearly 2,000 logins. The PigeonholeLive Platform, with which participants could ask a question to the candidates in real time and rate others’ questions, drew 606 users for the School District 43 trustees’ debate, 476 users for Coquitlam, 372 users for Port Moody and 111 users for Port Coquitlam. The SD43 meeting gathered the highest number of votes for questions, at 2,350.

In Coquitlam, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. today (Wednesday), advance polling stations will be set up at the Poirier community centre (630 Poirier St., Coquitlam) and the Elks Hall (2272 Leigh Sq., PoCo). Coquitlam hosts its last advance voting opportunity on Friday, Nov. 14 at Pinetree community centre (1260 Pinetree Way). Coquitlam/CCA member who appeared to quickly rewrite his closing statements after some of the remarks he heard during the debate. He noted that he is a business administration graduate who believes in the free market and that the current mayor, Richard Stewart, first got elected in 2005 on a slate. (Stewart was the lone member of an unregistered slate, called Coquitlam First, who was elected and that name has not appeared in subsequent elections.) Wilson also said other candidates running this fall are working together behind the scenes without publicly acknowledging that they are co-operating. “Let’s be transparent and let’s be open,” he said. “That is what our taxpayers want. They don’t want people hiding behind the scenes pretending they are not working together. They want people that are going to be honest and that is exactly what we are doing.” Nicholson, another incumbent candidate running under the Protect Coquitlam/CCA banner, said the five people involved in the slate are
all dedicated community members. He said while they share a similar political philosophy, they would not vote in lock step with one another. Trumley also defended the slate, stating that opponents of the group are trying to use scare tactics to drum up support. “I am disappointed that people want to fear monger out of their own self interest,” Trumley said. “When this [meeting] is over, talk to these people and see how passionate they are about this community.” After O’Neill’s opening remarks, candidates not affiliated with the CCA were eager to tout their independence. Dennis Marsden, who has run provincially for the BC Liberals, said slate politics do not belong at city hall while incumbent Coun. Brent Asmundson said council needs to listen to all voters, not just those who support a certain ideology. “We are not a team of five,” Asmundson said. “We are a team of nine.” The civic election will be held on Nov. 15. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC

Slate politics in Coquitlam — an issue one council candidate referred to as “the elephant in the room” — was hotly debated during last Thursday’s Tri-City Chamber of Commerce all-candidate meeting. The night was shaping up to be a humdrum recitation of the positions of various candidates for mayor and city council until incumbent Coun. Terry O’Neill launched a blistering attack at what he called an NDP takeover at city hall. “We all know the damage that was caused by the NDP [provincial government] in the 1990s,” he said to applause during his opening remarks. “Let’s keep them out.” Protect Coquitlam, also known as the Coquitlam Citizens’ Association, was officially launched in September. Its campaign literature describes the slate’s candidates — incumbent councillors Neal Nicholson, Chris Wilson and Bonita Zarrillo along with newcomers Jack Trumley and Shobha Nair — as a group of “five strong leaders.” They have received endorsements from NDP MP Fin Donnelly and BC NDP MLA Selina Robinson, both former Coquitlam city councillors who left mid-term upon being elected to higher office. Whisperings about the pros and cons of slates have been common around this campaign but Thursday night was the first time the issue was debated in such a public fashion. “I felt it needed to be discussed,” O’Neill told The Tri-City News after the meeting. “I think it also gave them an opportunity to lay out their side.” Wilson was one Protect

PORT MOODY ELECTION
Candidates all back PM field expansion
BIZ SURVEY
Sarah Payne
BlaCk Press
Port Moody council candidates rank redevelopment of the Inlet Park soccer field as their top priority or at least in the top three, according to a survey by the Port Moody Soccer Club. The survey asked candidates where they ranked redevelopment of Inlet Park’s athletic field among capital project priorities, whether they would be willing to enhance some of the improvements approved in May 2012, what funding model and timeline they would support, and what support they would provide in moving the project forward. All candidates answered that the soccer field redevelopment would be their number one priority or that it would be among the top three, along with the library expansion and rebuilding or renovating Kyle Centre (candidate Tom Bell did not respond to the survey). Candidates also suggested funding could come from federal and provincial
For answers from Moody Centre Community Association’s Nov. 5 all-candidates meeting, go to portmoodycommunity.wordpress.com. grants, development levies and corporate sponsorships. Candidate Callan Morrison, who sits on the parks and recreation commission, also suggested the redevelopment could happen in stages to avoid burdening taxpayers with the entire $3.7-million to $5.7-million cost at once. Incumbent Rick Glumac said the project is “long overdue” while fellow incumbents Gerry Nuttall and Diana Dilworth noted that council had prioritized one capital project during their term and, with the new fire hall completed, it was time to re-prioritize projects in the five-year capital plan. Mayoral candidate Gaetan Royer said it would be his top priority, with a project manager appointed and funding allocated for completion of a detailed engineering study in 2015. Mayor Mike Clay said

Public transit and transportation is the top municipal election issue for most Vancouver-area businesses, according to a Vancouver Board of Trade survey of its members. That category was picked by 68% of respondents as most important to their business while 50% chose real estate development, increased density and long-term planning; 40% listed community engagement/government transparency; and 35% said affordable and social housing. The survey also found respondents’ top transportation priorities were to “properly fund transportation and transit development without shifting the burden further onto business” (49%), followed by “better traffic management during development/ construction” (46%), removal of bike lanes (34%), rapid transit for the Broadway corridor (32%) and building more bike lanes (26%.) The survey results were released last month and the more than 200 VBOT members surveyed included businesses from both inside and outside the city of Vancouver. Members were also asked if they want their next civic government to champion the “Yes” side in next year’s TransLink funding referendum on the approval of new taxes to help finance a $7.5-billion transit expansion plan for Metro Vancouver. Nearly 49% were unsure while 41.6% said yes and 9.6% said no. Metro Vancouver mayors are still in negotiations with the provincial government over the final scope of the projects, the type and amount of new taxes and the wording of the question. jnagel@blackpress.ca • @jeffnagel

council is working on establishing a ranked list for all the city’s capital projects but the soccer field would be his top priority, along with an enhanced library. He also said the plans should be revisited to see how newly available properties might fit in. Two years ago, council supported the Inlet Park redevelopment project with a single field on the western edge of the site with no encroachment into the forest on the eastern end. The plan represented a phased approach, beginning with building a soccer field and baseball diamond for $2.7 million. Adding another soccer field, field house, batting cage and 104 parking stalls would add another $3 million to the price tag. • To see the list of candidates’ responses visit www. portmoodysoccer.com.

RE-ELECT MAYOR
RICHARD STEWART
Strong Leadership. Proven Results.
Let’s keep Coquitlam Moving! Six Years of Achievement. The Evergreen Line
Broke the 20-year stalemate, by building consensus across the region, and with Fed/Prov governments; completion in about 20 months.
Riverview Hospital
We’ve proposed a new vision for this cherished property, one that embraces a Centre-of-Excellence in treatment for mental health and addictions, plus a public hospital. The first mental health beds are now re-opened. Let’s continue to build consensus on this vision.
$50 million in savings for taxpayers
A focus on prudent management has produced REAL results, including $50+ million in capital savings on new projects. Plus, better relationships with federal and provincial governments resulted in almost $30 million in infrastructure grants for important local projects.
Putting Technology to Work for Coquitlam residents Through webcasting, geothermal, on-line Open Data, LED lighting, Fibre Optic, Traffic Cams, etc. Award-winning GHG reductions, too.
Major investments in Public Safety
In the past 9 years, we’ve added 34 police officers; our very successful Crime Reduction Strategy has made our whole community safer, with a 26% decrease in crime. Richard also initiated a traffic safety program, beginning with schools; let’s accelerate/expand that program. As well, expanded Town Centre Firehall, and a new Firehall in Northeast, along with 42 new firefighters over nine years. Nothing’s more important than community safety.
Controlling Taxes Instituted new cyclical review of City operations, to identify savings and efficiencies, to make the most of every tax dollar. We’ve reduced new budget demands every year for the past five years through careful management, while securing millions in non-tax revenue, development charges, senior government funding, etc. And while rebuilding reserves and retiring debt. Coquitlam is back in great shape!
“Mayor Stewart knows how to guide the regional conversation, respectfully but with conviction, producing real results for Coquitlam across Metro Vancouver. He used those skills on such vitally-important issues as breaking the stalemate on the long-awaited Evergreen Line. A real leader.” - Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts
Major investments
King Edward Overpass, United-Braid connection, Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, City Centre Library, over 100 acres of new parkland, new sports facilities, partnerships with School District 43 for new schools and community amenities. Plus, our new Homeless Shelter is now approved and provincially-funded, and will open next year. New facilities to come – arts and culture, heritage, sports, seniors, dog parks, etc. -- with many of them funded out of development revenue instead of property taxes. I want us to invest strongly in expansion of our Seniors’ Pavilions, and keep them protected and dedicated to our seniors.
A Lot at Stake There is a lot at stake in this election. My opponent appears to have made promises to every group, totaling an estimated $260 million so far. Add to that unworkable and expensive suggestion that our city CUPE workers should start collecting our garbage again (CUPE is endorsing him, and helping fund his campaign). In fact, issues like that are a big reason that I have never taken campaign funding from the unions with whom we must negotiate. And why I support independent Councillors to represent residents, not the group, Political Party or slate that got them elected.
Great Community “I’ve lived all my life in Coquitlam. Our city is an amazing place, largely because of the great assets we enjoy: - outstanding service clubs, community groups, neighbourhood associations, sports organizations, volunteer connections - our strong multicultural community, celebrating with us - the faith communities – your church and mine – that contribute so much to our community and its residents - the volunteer coaches, instructors, mentors, environmental supporters, auxiliary RCMP and firefighters, and so many others. I want us to continue to find new ways to support and complement those in our community that make a difference every day. And to continue to build the amenities – and the fiscal legacy – for our children and for their children. I want Coquitlam to be a great and affordable place for my kids to raise a family. Let’s keep moving forward.”
“Mayor Stewart is a real leader, a respectful and thoughtful leader who knows what it is to serve community. He has my full support.” - Rev. John Davies, Freedom of the City recipient
On November 15th let’s Re-elect Mayor Richard Stewart
for respectful leadership, and for results. Email: stewartrichard@shaw.ca Phone: 604-931-2848 www.facebook.com/mayorstewart @mayorstewart Campaign Office: 2565 Barnet Hwy (at Falcon) Authorized by Jennifer Maier, Financial Agent, 604-306-1885

POCO FOUNDATION
Big boost for PoCo arts with $200k donation Theatre society chips in cash for arts initiatives
Performing artists got a boost this week when a charity donated $200,000 to the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation. The gift from the Port Coquitlam Theatre Society, which ran the Terry Fox Theatre on behalf of School District 43 until last year, will support programs and projects involving dance, music, film, performance, production, higher learning and other new arts initiatives. The new performing arts endowment fund was to be made public before the PoCo city council meeting Monday evening. Details are now being finalized but grant applications will be accepted starting next month. “We are committed to honouring the legacy of the Port Coquitlam Theatre Society by using these funds to support further development of performance arts in Port Coquitlam,” foundation president Janine Davies said in a news release. “The generosity of the original donors will act as a catalyst for new opportunities that will inspire and connect our community.” (The society also made a contribution to the Vancouver Foundation for a scholarship/bursary fund for SD43 graduating students to help with postsecondary tuition for performance arts. In addition, it bought equipment for the Terry Fox Theatre.) This past summer, the two-year-old PoCo Community Foundation handed out its six inaugural grants totalling $12,000 and set up its first donor-advised fund from the PoCo Minor Lacrosse Association. Over the next granting cycle, the municipality will also kick in $100,000 in matching cash for the foundation’s general community fund. For more information about the foundation, visit pocofoundation.com or email info@pocofoundation.com. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC
FOOD BANK
Got fines at Fox library? Pay them off with food
If you’re guilt over unpaid fines is keeping you out of the library, Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Library has a solution that will help you — and others. Terry Fox patrons can get a break on fines for their overdue books and other materials in exchange for a donation of a non-perishable food item.
-E E R
C lE
One food item equals $2 in fines, and up to $30 of fines owed per library account can be waived during the Food for Fines campaign. All items collected will be donated to the Share food bank. Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam is a member of the Fraser Valley Regional Library and Food for Fines is running throughout the
FVRL system. Only commercially packaged, undamaged and unexpired food items will be accepted. Local pantries are especially in need of: pasta and pasta sauce; canned meats/fruits/vegetables; cold cereals; baby food; peanut butter and jam; rice, flour, sugar, oats (in 1 kg bags); Boost and Ensure; soups and stews.

OUR OPINION
Survey disconnect shows it’s time Tri-City talks crime d espite a well-publicized decline in the crime rate and predictions that the evergreen line won’t worsen crime once it opens, many voters see public safety as the number one issue going into the nov. 15 election. in The Tri-City News’ online readers’ survey, which is not scientific, 48% of respondents put public safety at the top of their list, ahead of environment, parks and recreation, transportation, property taxes and housing. the issue had an average ranking of 4.75 out of 5. yet, for the most part, the crime rate or the need to hire more police hasn’t been top of mind for most candidates. in Port coquitlam, there is no interest in hiring more police officers, according to candidate interviews in The Tri-City News’ recent Votesmart voters’ guide. in Port moody, the OcP has been the top issue,

Crime is a concern for Tri-City residents, and not just when high-profile events such as shootings occur. not public safety. and in coquitlam, the top issues are development and orderly growth, recreation, green space and parks, with safe streets an appealing

local government, although responsible for policing, doesn’t acknowledge the fears of people when there’s a break-in, for example, or, as in a few years ago, when gangs wreak havoc on city streets. in fact, we would argue the topic rarely comes up except when problems arise and then politicians are scrambling after the fact. We’re not saying the public is ignorant and the cities aren’t doing their job. but more needs to be done to address this issue. certainly, Port moody police and coquitlam rcmP are working to engage people through their social media. but clearly it’s going to take more than a few tweetalongs and scam safety tips to quell people’s nerves. it’s time to take a closer look at this issue of crime and policing in the tricities.
ARTHRITIS PAIN? Laser may be the answer.

What our patients say... Neck Arthritis: I had tremendous pain in my neck. I couldn’t turn to the right. 9-10 months prior I had tried lots of physio with no great change so I was reluctant to try laser therapy. I had 12 treatments. By the 4th treatment I had more mobility and less pain. It was an amazing difference. I will continue with the exercises as they are beneficial. Such a professional team. – Margaret Ankle Arthritis: After years of chronic pain from a broken ankle and the onset of arthritis I had 12 treatments of Laser Light Therapy. The ankle has improved to about 70-80% normalcy. – Ron Styles (age 66) Arthritis Both Knees: I have been suffering from knee pain for several years and have tried a number of treatments and medications to no avail. I decided to give Laser Light Therapy an opportunity to ease my pain, and while skeptical initially, I am pleased with the results as my “day to day” pain has been reduced significantly. I would recommend Laser Light Therapy to anybody suffering from pain. – William Jack (age 63) Arthritic Hands: When I first started laser on my hands I couldn’t even button a shirt, turn the gas cap or grip a cup. I felt handicapped. After 10 treatments I noticed major improvement. I recommend laser to everybody. – M.M. Elbow and Neck Arthritis: Finally I decided to start Laser Light Therapy. First the neck, within a few treatments my neck and shoulders stopped aching. Then the left elbow, which was quite sore with moderate degeneration. The treatments improved my painful elbow. I no longer awake every few hours from pain and many nights I can sleep right through! RLL (age 62)

After 3-4 laser treatments I was able to move my arm and shoulder once again and after 10 treatments the pain was all gone!

Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Based on the genetic makeup of the cells, an individual’s response to LILT will vary to some degree.

REMEMBRANCE DAY
Honouring those who Slates, for & against battle the barbarians CITY ELECTIONS
Re. “ELECTION 2014: Coquitlam candidates spar over slates” (www.tricitynews.com, Nov. 7).
The Editor, I’m nonplussed over the controversy about a socalled slate with the Protect Coquitlam campaign. In an ideal democracy, people with common goals work together for the greater good of all members of society. If we as individuals did not work together in everyday life, what turmoil and a divisive society we would become. I would rather have a group that transparently says what its members stand for instead of some in our midst who work together behind the scenes and no one knows what they are up to until it is too late to do anything about it. I urge all candidates to be straightforward in what they plan for Coquitlam
and answer honestly what their goals are. We would all be better off instead of creating conflict where none needs to exist. Please get out and vote but know the issues and choose wisely. Rita Pollock, Coquitlam
‘POLARIZING’
The Editor, Slate and party politics at the municipal level are polarizing and divisive. If you need any proof, just look at the mess in Vancouver right now. When I expressed this to a member of the slate running in Coquitlam, he repeatedly said, “But we’re not a slate.” He stressed that they were individuals with multiple points of view. A few days later, I got a robocall — surely the best way to insult voters — from NDP officials encouraging me to vote for the slate. My next encounter with the candidate consisted of
him repeatedly echoing, “But we’re not a slate,” even though he acknowledged that the NDP had clearly just told me to vote for his slate. A couple of days later, I got another robocall from two of the slate members telling me how easy it will be to identify members of their slate on the ballot because it will be indicated next to their names. Give me a break. If we’re getting this type of doublespeak during the election, how should we expect any transparency from them if elected? Coquitlam needs councillors whose intentions are to engage in collaborative and creative decision making at city hall, unfettered by allegiances to a municipal slate or party caucus. It definitely will be easier voting this election because I certainly won’t be voting for any members of the “But we’re not a slate” slate. Gregg Moor, Coquitlam
The Editor, When the barbarians come over the wall, they don’t care that you abhor violence or don’t believe in war. They’re barbarians; they’ve come to ravage, pillage, burn and put you to the sword — despite your opinion on the matter. They’re barbarians, it’s their nature. With barbarians at the gates, we want warriors on that wall to hold them off and drive them back, and make peace possible within. It’s up to us to do the rest. History rolls on, generations come and go, the walls change. Sometimes, they’re lines sketched in the sand of some far-off desert, or a lonely beachhead on a distant shore. Barbarians change, too, in guise, if not nature. Sometimes they’re hard to recognize and some-
J. warren/tri-city newS
Bob Sutherland is part of Coquitlam branch of the Royal Canadian Legion’s poppy campaign times they’re already amongst us, whether from carelessness or neglect, or having already stormed the castle. And then our peace and free-
dom might very well be lost — until we can win them back. But the price is always high. It is a price exacted in coin of the realm but in greatest part it is in a toll of injury and death, and of deeply scarred minds that will not, perhaps cannot, heal. We task our warriors in duty and honour to bear burdens truly unbearable. And so we must remember not to exalt nor to glorify war, but to celebrate the courage and service with which this price is so dearly paid, and to sanctify the peace and freedom so earned. This is why we wear the poppy on Remembrance Day. This is why we have Remembrance Day, and other commemorative days at all. It is about respect, certainly, and gratitude as
well, but more: It is about carrying forward these painful lessons into each next generation so that this terrible price need not be paid again, and yet again. And it is about hope — the hope that we can build upon aching loss and hard-won victory and push those walls ever farther out, so that the peace within can encompass the world. Perhaps, one day, when the world matures and every nation respects human rights, due process and the rule of law, not only amongst individuals but among nations as well, perhaps then we will not need warriors on that wall. But that day is not yet come, and there are still barbarians at the gates. Ron McKinnon, Port Coquitlam

Volunteers with Port Coquitlam’s Hyde Creek Watershed Society scoop salmon out of the creek that will be used as brood stock.
Harvesting the future
The heavy rains are bringing the chum salmon into Hyde Creek in Port Coquitlam enabling volunteers to collect brood stock and raise future generations of the iconic fish. From now until midDecember, volunteers with the Hyde Creek Watershed Society will work in the creek to collect approximately 50 fish, including coho as well as chum. The eggs are taken from the female
and the milt taken from the male, mixed together and transferred into heath trays where they incubate for approximately 100 days. Hatchery raised fish have helped to boost salmon returns in Hyde Creek over the last 30 years. “All is due to the hatchery incubation programs which ensure that more fry and smolts survive in a safe environment, allowing more Hyde Creek salmon to
make their way to the ocean and return three to four years later as spawning salmon,” said society spokesperson Jean Peachman, who is the secretary and director with the society. Members of the public can get a look at the process which takes place most Saturdays near the eduction centre located off Coast Meridian in PoCo. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

ery running by the winter. In all, the project to replace the Port Moody hatchery that burned down in December 2013 will cost $1.2 million, with $860,000 raised for construction and another $360,000 for the fittings, hatchery equipment and landscaping. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

School District 43 gets an A for its enrolment projections this year — with the result that its budget revenue projections should be on target. Enrolment is holding steady at about 30,100 students, according to a head count that took place Oct. 17 and was presented to the board of education Tuesday night. “The budget was based on the February enrolment and the numbers came in close to our February projections,” assistant superintendent Carey Chute told The Tri-City News last week. In February, the district predicted that kindergarten to Grade 12 enrolment would be 30,095 and the numbers came in at 30,100. Unlike some districts, SD43 isn’t seeing any noticeable decline in enrolment, with numbers holding steady compared to last year, losing the equivalent of about five students over the 12 months. But those numbers typically fluctuate over the year, Chute said, and overall, the district gets more students moving in to the area than it loses. Ensuring that enrolment is accurate is key to district finances because provincial funding is largely based on per-pupil funding. In 2012, the district numbers were off by about 200 students, which hurt its bottom line and contribute to its $8-million deficit that year.

LARRIVEE FUNDRAISER
Former students of a late Riverside secondary school teacher will host a fundraiser Friday in Port Coquitlam. Proceeds from the pub night held in memory of Jacques-Andre Larrivee will support a scholarship in his name, to be awarded annually to a Grade 12 French immersion student at the school. The money will also be used to subsidize the a trip for students to visit France. The popular French immersion teacher, who was one of Riverside’s first instructors when it opened in 1996, had retired and was visiting Japan when he died last October of heart failure. Tickets for the Cat and Fiddle night will be limited at the door. Advance tickets ($15) can be bought through the Larrivee memorial Facebook page or at the school.

METRO TRANSPORTATION
Time-of-day pricing could encourage off-peak travel continued from front page
Transportation Minister Todd Stone pledged a review of the province’s tolling policy a year ago but has yet to act. The province is also designing a bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel. Stone hasn’t yet spelled out how he would seek public consent to toll that crossing. Metro Vancouver mayors want to eventually adopt road pricing, which could involve per kilometre fees on major routes rather than just tolls at bridges. They argue such a system could not only help fund TransLink but allow time-of-day pricing to encourage some drivers to travel at off-peak times and make the entire road system more efficient. The Business Council of
TODD STONE B.C. paper also endorses greater use of “peak-pricing models” — including municipal water metering — but it suggests interim bridge tolling reform may be wiser than pursuit of full road pricing. “While road pricing may be the most comprehensive approach to demand management, starting with an expanded tolling network
(based on low toll charges) across the region may be more manageable and politically achievable,” said the report, which is titled Building B.C. for the 21st Century. It says the province should reconsider its policy that bans new tolls when a free alternative is unavailable. Both the public transit and road systems are heavily congested in Metro and need more upgrades, the paper says, noting an expected Lower Mainland population increase of 800,000 by 2031. It says the most pressing expansion needs are in Surrey and Langley, while also noting intense transit pressure on Vancouver’s Broadway corridor. Although billions of dollars have gone into port-
related gateway infrastructure in recent years, more is needed on that front as well, the report said, adding much funding should come from the federal government, which has more taxation capability than the province. Gateway priorities include twinning the old railway bridges over the Fraser River at New Westminster and at the Second Narrows. The report also projects steady growth in container handling will put more pressure on truck routes. Besides innovative finance options, the report urges the province to develop a long-term infrastructure development strategy so a steady pipeline of projects are being built, increasing investor confidence.

It takes a skilled leader with strong people skills to ensure that the ideas make it off of the table and go through to implementation.” How do you see the village evolving over the next four years? “Through controlled growth with a great deal of resident engagement and feedback, as outlined in our new OCP.”

Why are you running? “To change the overspending philosophy at the village hall, to put a stop to the constant property tax hikes and to work on eliminating the massive $4.3 million of village debt.” What are your top three campaign issues? “My top three campaign issues are to reel in the overspending at the village hall; to build a greater sense of community where every resident is treated equally, fairly and with respect; to tackle Belcarra’s massive debt so that tax dollars are no longer wasted on debt servicing.” How do you see the village evolving over the next four years? “I will protect Belcarra’s unique natural setting and lifestyle, change the confrontational attitude of the mayor and council, bring back fiscal responsibility to the village hall, fight for lower taxes and rebuild the sense of community Belcarra once had.”
JennifeR GlOveR (i)
Why are you running? “After 18 years on council, I am running for reelection because I care deeply for my community and will continue to work to maintain fiscal responsibility and sustainability, protect our unique rural character and the pristine natural beauty of our area, to promote increased community engagement regarding community concerns, and to enhance our sense of community.” What are your top three campaign issues? “Fiscal sustainability, promoting community engagement and sense of community and protecting the unique and pristine natural character of our area.” How do you see the village evolving over the next four years? “I anticipate increased community engagement regarding our local and regional issues as we continue to sustain our wonderful community.”

JAMie ROss (i)
Why are you running? “I can continue my work representing the views of Belcarra residents and continue to protect the uniqueness and beauty of Belcarra.” What are your top three campaign issues? “I will continue to work with council to actively protect the environment; I will ensure that Belcarra continues to be well managed and that we represent in a fair and caring manner the residents of Belcarra — we need to remain an independent village — and resist any attempts to amalgamate; I will continue my individual work and the work of council to encourage and support volunteers who are the essence of our small and beautiful community.”

Our residents highly value this natural setting. Change will be limited to ongoing infrastructure improvements (i.e., water, roads and pathways) to meet homeowners’ needs.”

REMEMBRANCE DAY
PoCo veterans’ names, read and remembered YOUR HISTORY BRYAN NESS
F
or many years in Port Coquitlam, beginning in 1946, William Tuohey, one of our most distinguished citizens, called the roll at the War Memorial Cenotaph on Remembrance Day. Mr. Tuohey was born in England in 1881 and immigrated to Canada in 1903, whereupon he began working for the Canadian Pacific Railway. He served overseas during the First World War with the 54th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and later came to Port Coquitlam in 1929, retiring from the railway in 1946. He was a past president and lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Legion, and was involved with the Earl Haig Society, which helped build seniors housing locally. In recognition of his many outstanding volunteer achievements, William Tuohey was presented with the Citizen of the Year Award for 1965. Although well into his eighties, he would stand tall in the sometimes bitter cold and rain at the cenotaph

He was assisted by Malcolm Rae, a decorated Second World War veteran, who would call the names of those who died in service to their country during the second war to end all wars.

Korean War and a meeting with an enemy force far beyond anything he could imagine. Thankful to be returning home, he finds himself tested again as he tries to fit into a place that no longer feels like home. • Up Country by Nelson Demille: An old letter has surfaced written by an enemy soldier describing a shocking act of violence. Vietnam War vet Paul Brennan is asked to travel back to Vietnam to investigate the circumstances of an American officer’s death 30 years ago. No one knows if this enemy solider is dead or alive but it’s up to Brennan to find him. It’s a painful journey into the past and possibly a dangerous one as Brennan is sure

that the authorities are keeping something back. • Redeployment by Phil Klay: This book is a collection of 12 short stories providing a graphic depiction of military life in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is hard to understand what happened and what it did to those who were there and lived to return home. Military loyalties and religious faiths were tested. Even without a full understanding of the military acronyms, it very easy to understand the message in this book — a thoughtful, hard-edge read. Lest we forget. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Irene Jakse works at Port Moody Public Library.

ar fiction varies greatly. Although almost all stories set during wartime are poignant, the fiction of the First World War is often more descriptive of the horrors of war while the literature of the Second World War can be more romantic. In fictional accounts of the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq, there is bravery and dedication and loyalty — but there is no making light of the experiences. • The Biscuit Barrel by David Slater: “If you receive this letter it means that I have perished in this never-ending hell they now call The Great War. Let me tell you, there is nothing great about it.” So starts the 1918 letter found in a Wedgwood biscuit barrel that has become part of a deceased’s estate. The barrel has traveled from Rhodesia, Africa to Canada and the letter, written by a WWI airman in the Royal Flying Corps in France, sets off an investigation into the past that reveals secrets and corruption from Africa to the Western Front. • The Last Telegram by Liz Trenow: As men go off to fight in WWII, Lily, the daughter of a silk mill owner, must take over as manager of the mill producing silk for parachutes. But when Lily falls in love with Stefan, a young German refugee working in the factory, others see this as collaborating with the enemy. Trying to make love prevail, Lily and Stefan struggle to build a life together. Just as Lily starts to see the possibility of her dreams coming true, they are shattered by a decision she is forced to make during difficult times. This story is a great depiction of civilian life in the British

Volunteers are needed to pack food hampers all year with Share Family and Community Services but especially for the holiday season.
Sign up for sponsorships
Celebrating the Christmas season is difficult for families that are struggling to make ends meet. But Share Family and Community Services — and you — can help. Through the Caring Neighbour Program, Share offers a more personalized alternative for groups that
wish to support a family from the Tri-Cities. Here’s how it works: • Families register for the program based on need and basic family information is verified by Share. Personal, in-depth information about the families is not known. • Families are randomly selected for donors based
on donors’ match preferences. • The sponsor is matched and given information including size of the family, gender/age of each child and the city of residence. • A representative from the sponsor group contacts the parent(s) of the family see MATCH UP, page A28

Practice weather-related pet safety all year long Caring for pets is sometimes compared to raising children. Though the two are not exactly the same, there are similarities between raising a child and caring for a pet. Like curious kids, fearless pets may not understand the potential hazards around them, and some of these dangers differ depending on the season. Autumn Autumn is a great time of year to spend some time outdoors with your pet. But you must be aware of your surroundings and practice safety. Many animals spend the fall storing food or making accommodations for winter hibernation. Snakes may be out looking for burrows and can be in foul moods. A curious pooch can walk away with a bite if he or she comes up against a grumpy snake looking for a den. The SPCA Animal Poison Control Center notes mushrooms may be growing in the fall. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to distinguish highly toxic mushrooms from nontoxic ones, so the best way to keep pets from ingesting poisonous mushrooms is to keep them away from areas where mushrooms are growing. Some people may resort to rodenticides to keep mice and other small animals out of homes when they’re seeking warmer places to nest. These products are highly toxic to pets and can result in death. Sometimes eating a mouse that has consumed a rodenticide is enough to harm a pet. Pet owners that use these products must exercise extreme caution or find other methods to curtail rodent infestations. Winter Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likely to venture outdoors. Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselves often cannot avoid the ice and snow. These conditions can put pets at risk. As with humans, animals are susceptible to hypothermia and frostbite. When the weather is cold, pets should not remain outdoors without shelter for extended periods of time. The Humane Society advises that exposed skin on noses, ears and paw pads can quickly freeze and suffer permanent damage. Dogs and cats are safer and warmer indoors. Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irritate pet paws. When the animal then licks irritated paws, the chemicals can be transferred to the tongue and mouth. Rinse paws after dogs come in from walks, or use protective booties to keep feet covered. Limit the amount of products you use to melt snow, opting for sand or cat litter for traction. Provide more water during the winter when the effort it takes for pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete their energy stores. Compensate by giving pets a little more food and water in the winter. Pets may be attracted to automotive antifreeze due to its sweet smell and taste. But antifreeze
can be toxic. Coolants and antifreeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets, wildlife and even human beings. Spring Spring is a season of rebirth and renewal when pleasant weather has both people and pets eager to get outdoors again. However, certain springtime dangers may be lurking, and it takes an informed pet owner to keep animals safe. Spring cleaning is a ritual for many families, and cleaning chemicals and products can be dangerous to inquisitive pets. Use these items properly, and keep dogs and cats away. Birds are especially sensitive to chemical fumes, so move birds out of harm’s way when cleaning. Products used in the yard, such as pesticides, fertilizers, tools, and soil additives, may be harmful if ingested. Sharp tools can injure dogs or cats running around the yard. Keep pets out of garden beds when doing lawn and garden work. As homeowners throw open windows and doors to let fresh air inside, they may not realize broken or torn screens can let indoor animals escape. Examine entry and exit points, making sure they are not easily penetrated, before leaving pets unattended. A lost pet can be struck by a vehicle or be exposed to yard hazards. Summer Hot weather can be very hazardous, as heat stroke and dehydration are potential summertime problems for pets. Old and young pets are less capable of regulating their body temperatures, making them especially susceptible to hot spells. Keep pets indoors during the hottest hours of the day and provide plenty of water. Chemicals used to maintain a swimming pool are dangerous to pets and people. They should be stored out of reach to prevent accidental contact or ingestion. Some dogs and cats may be good swimmers, but that does not mean they should be left alone in swimming pools. As you would a child, keep a watchful eye on pets when they’re in or around pools. Warmer weather brings out the bugs, and so keep pets up-to-date with their immunizations. Mosquitoes can spread diseases that can lead to heartworm and other conditions. Talk to a veterinarian about preventative measures to keep pets healthy. No matter the season, pet owners must prioritize keeping their pets safe from seasonal hazards.

PORT MOODY FILM SOCIETY
THE MARTIN AND SUZIE SHOW
Documentary takes WWII soldiers from Japan, US back to island caves JANIS WARREN THE TRI-CITY NEWS
They say that time heals all wounds. Port Moody filmmaker Eva Wunderman was a witness to that 10 years ago when she reunited a few American and Japanese soldiers from the Second World War. Wunderman and her team brought former US tank commander Lee Smith and platoon leader Bill Cumbaa to the tiny tropical island of Peleliu, which is part of Palau near the Philippines. Sixty years earlier, the 81st Infantry Division soldiers fought for an airstrip in what was supposed to be a four-day campaign. But, because the Japanese had fortified themselves in caves, the battle lasted three months — a bloody scene that cost 2,000 American lives and 10,000 Japanese souls (today, there are war memorials on Peleliu to the fallen soldiers on both sides). In their rediscovery of the island that has now overgrown but remains filled with war artifacts, Cumbaa finds the so-called Monster Cave in which he commanded his men to torch. Smith also comes across his tank “Lady Luck” at the same place he abandoned it. Still, little did they know they would be meeting one of the 34 Japanese soldiers who had lived in a cave for two years after the war had ended. Wunderman said it was a big risk to surprise the veterans with Tsuchida Kiyokazu; however, in the end, it gave the men the peace and closure they needed to move on with their lives. “I had no idea how they were going to react to each

It was like they were long-lost friends.” Speaking through the Vancouver photographer and interpreter Koichi
Saito, the men went back to the reopened cave to see what it looked like 60 years on and to hear each others’ tales. Wunderman had received permission from the

president of Micronesia to open a cave and film inside; she had also recruited a Shinto priest to honour the sacred ground. It was during the three weeks’ of filming that
Kiyokazu related a miserable story about the nightmare he endured inside his cave prison. He and a friend had snuck out to steal food from the American troops when they saw posters around the island notifying the hidden Japanese that the war was over. But when the pair relayed the information to their commander and begged to surrender, Kiyokazu’s friend was shot in the head for insubordination. Kiyokazu, in turn, was forced to bury his friend. In 1947, Kiyokazu escaped the caves and told the American soldiers of the trapped 34 men. And it was during the boat ride home to mainland Japan when the commander told Kiyokazu never to reveal the murder. During the filming of the documentary, Kiyokazu wept at the place where he buried his friend, who out of respect for the next of kin, was only identified as Soldier A. “It was so emotional,” Wunderman said. “This had been on his chest all these years.” Also featured in the film is Shinji Karasumaru, whose brother commit-
ted suicide at Col. Kunio Nakagawa’s side. Wunderman said she’s had trouble securing funding for her $350,000 work, which was released last year and has since won the Golden Sheaf Award for best historical documentary at the Yorkton Film Festival and the Gold Remi Award at Worldfest Houston (it has been aired on SVT, SBC, NHK — the Japanese broadcaster — KCTS9 and Discovery Asia). Interest is now picking up with the distributor Off The Fence and the Smithsonian Institute. On Friday, during the week of Remembrance Day, the Port Moody Film Society will show Once Were Enemies on Wunderman’s 65th birthday. The screening will take place in the Inlet Theatre at city hall (100 Newport Dr.). Wunderman will take questions from the audience about the production. • Tickets for Once Were Enemies on Nov. 14 are $5 plus a $5 annual membership to the Port Moody Film Society.

One of the best acoustic and slide guitar players in the world will appear in Coquitlam tomorrow (Thursday) with a well-known Canadian musician. Martin Simpson will team up with singer-songwriter Suzie Vinnick for a concert at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, featuring a blend of folk and blues tunes. “It’s not often that you get to hear two award-winning, internationally renowned songwriters play in a single evening,” said David Mann, Evergreen’s performing arts manager, in a news release. British native Simpson, who is touring Canada, will be plugging his latest album while Saskatchewan-born Vinnick, who is based in Ontario, will play her roots and blues songs. Vinnick’s 2012 album, Me ‘n Mabel, received a 2012 Juno nomination. That year, she also won the CBC Saturday Night Blues Great Canadian Blues Award and the Sirius/XM Blues Artist of the Year. Simpson also has scooped a number of accolades over his 40-year career. He has been nominated 23 times for a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award including nine times in a row as Artist of the Year. • Tickets start at $15. Call 604-9276555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

When Tori Lockwood moved to Port Coquitlam this year, she wanted to get a foot in the local arts community. A Thompson Rivers University graduate in fine arts, Lockwood found the Art Focus Artists’ Association and, in September, became its newest member.

JANIS WARREN Katie Stewart and a few “young and bright artists” working on an upcoming edition for SAD Magazine piled into a van recently and tried to capture what it was like to live in the suburbs. The suburbs, Stewart said, was a general term that meant “anything outside of Vancouver.” One of their stops was Aldergrove, where photographer Robyn Humphreys narrowed her lens on the doorway to a 7-Eleven store, a popular hangout for teens. “It was such a cool experience because we wanted to find unconventional scenes,” said Stewart, who is also a photographer. Humphrey’s snapshot — along with paintings and illustrations from 10 other artists — will be shown in Coquitlam this and next month as part of a new display by SAD, short for Stories Art and Design. The show in Place des Arts’ Mezzanine Gallery is part of a travelling exhibition that opened in September at the Moat gallery at the Vancouver Public Library during the Word on the Street festival; after Coquitlam, the next stop will be in the Fraser Valley, Stewart said. Stewart, a Chilliwack native who inherited SAD Magazine from her two friends in 2011 as its creative director, said her print publication aims to give a voice to emerging artists and writers in Vancouver. And as each edition contains about 60% visual art, “it’s really important for us to create a publication and also make a difference in the community,” she said, referring to the art show.

Hagen has never performed with either pianist. Anagnoson and Kinton have been together for nearly four decades and are recognized around the world for their skill. The dean of the Glenn Gould School, where he is also on the faculty, Anagnoson is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music and has his master’s degree from The Julliard School in New York City. Kinton, on the other hand, is also on faculty at Glenn Gould as well as being a piano professor at the University of Western Ontario. Kinton has his PhD in music theory from the University of Toronto.
For next Wednesday’s recital in Coquitlam, the piano duo will play three works: Beethoven’s Marches, Op. 10, Stravinsky’s Petrushka and Two Slavonic Dances by Dvorak. “It is such a treat to have the duo perform and I wanted them to have all the stage time,” Hagen said. • Tickets for Musical Mornings on Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. start at $10. The concert begins with coffee, tea and treats.

We spent the day working with Rotarians and members of the community on clearing invasive species from the Noons Creek Hatchery area.

The Coquitlam Adanacs and the Port Coquitlam Saints battled for Tri-City supremacy during an under-19 field lacrosse match at Coquitlam Town Centre last week.
BCHL JUNIOR HOCKEY
express continue climb up standings Coq. club takes two games against Surrey By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Express extended their winning streak to five games over the weekend, notching two wins during a home-andhome against the Surrey Eagles. There was a scary moment during Friday night’s
game at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex when Eagle forward Ty BARRY WoLFF Westgard left the ice with a laceration to his leg. Express coach Barry Wolff told The Tri-City News that there was some concern that his Achilles had been severed, however the injury turned out to be not as bad as initially thought.
“A skate somehow cut him,” he said. “He was hobbling off from the far corner by their bench.” Paramedics worked on the injured player at the bench for about 20 minutes before taking him to hospital. Westgard’s injury occurred five minutes into the second period, with the score already knotted 1-1. Express forward Corey Mackin scored the first marker of the night and made it 2-1 for his club midway through the second.
The Eagles responded with a goal but the Express were able to capitalize on some early chances in the third period. Coquitlam’s Brendan Lamont potted one 19 second into the final frame, before teammate Brendan Gulka scored his fourth of the season to make it 4-2. Eagles forward Jordan Funk managed to bring the game to within one goal, but empty netters from Mackin and Cody Boyd ended the game with a 6-3 score in favour of the Express.
Mackin was named the second star in the game and is now firmly at the top of the BCHL scoring race with 39 points, form up on West Kelowna’s Liam Blackburn. He also leads the league in goals with 22 in 21 games. “He has been a little more poised with the puck and he’s shooting more, which is something he didn’t do as much last year,” Wolff said. “He is just a more mature player.” Mackin picked up another four points on Saturday in a rematch

against the Eagles in Surrey. The high scoring affair saw seven goals scored in the first period. Daniell Lange got things started for Coquitlam when he buried a pass from Cody Boyd, while Mackin made it 2-1 four minutes later with a shorthanded goal. Team captain Joey Santucci also found the back of the net, while Lamont and Austin Anselmo both factored into the first period scoring. see ExprEss, page 40
TAG Sports Centre athletes Jared Khalifa and Taya Clyne are heading to Daytona, Fla., for the gymnastics World Championships. The pair of Tri-City athletes have already departed and will compete in their age group against international competition. Khalifa,a current national champion, will compete in the tumbling and double-mini events. Meanwhile, Clyne is attending her first Canadian team event for tumbling. She was the novice champion in 2013 and sixth in the junior competition in 2014. Clyne will also be attending an international training competition at the Karolyi training centre in Houston, Texas in January. Also, artistic senior women Nicole Chow and Taylor Chan will head to a competition next Saturday in Coquitlam looking to earn a spot on Team BC at the Canada Winter Games.
De jong
Port Coquitlam gymnast Haley de Jong took home the Sandra Harelty National Stream Athlete of the Year award for the second year in a row. The award was given out for the young athlete’s performance in the 2013-14 season at an event honoring coaches, judges, athletes and volunteers. De Jong competes with the Flicka Gymnastics Club in North Vancouver.

Down 5-2 going into the second, the Eagles tried to fight back. John Wesley scored a goal for the home team while Chase McMurphy also potted one. However, penalty trouble midway through the period cost the Surrey club, with Coquitlam’s Brett Supinski burying a Mackin feed before Lamont also scored on the power play. The Express added to their total in the third, with goals from Lamont, Lange and Boyd to finish the game with a 10-5 win. “We were ready to go right from the get go,” Wolff said of his club’s most decisive victory yet this season. “We had a lot pressure early.” However, Coquitlam still has a long way to go if it hopes to dig itself out of the hole the team dug in the standings in the first few weeks of the season. The Express are currently fourth in the Mainland Division, two points behind the Langley Rivermen. But Wolff said his club is starting to turn the corner, and he believes

Hockey league in scoring and goals after his club won two games against the surrey Eagles last weekend. some problems that team encountered earlier in the year have been rectified. “I think when you put together a streak like this — five games is pretty good for any level of hockey
— it builds confidence,” he said. “A lot of it is confidence. We are making better decisions and we are playing more as a team.” Lamont was named first star of the game, while
Mackin received second star honours. Goalie Chris Tai stopped 20 of 25 shots he faced during the game. The Coquitlam Express host Chilliwack tonight at the Poirier Sport and

PoMo Redcaps shutout by Elite, while TNT notch another win The Port Moody Redcaps could not find a way to solve the CCB Elite during an under-17 gold division soccer game last week. The match was a backand-forth affair, with both teams struggling to dominate the play. Port Moody’s Kyle Winslow, Yutaka Yen and Anton Pisaryk had some strong chances in the game, but none of the Redcap players were able to put one in the net. In the end, it was the Elite that were able to score, holding on to a 1-0 lead until time ran out.
Cooper Miller collected an errant pass and converted. The win pushed TNT’s league record to 4 wins and 4 ties and pushed their unbeaten streak to 14 games.

The Port Coquitlam Storm were victorious over the Port Moody Mercury in the battle for Tri-City under-17 boys division soccer supremacy last week, winning 3-1. Port Moody squandered several chances, while PoCo was able to capitalize on mistakes made in the Mercury end. Mercs midfielder Klim Jurny made several saves to keep his team in the game but PoCo kept up the offence, scoring three goals in the match. The only goal the Mercs could muster came off the foot of Quinn Henney, who kept his cool when he netted the ball from 12 yards out. Mateo Coutant and Pasha Bavarsad both had strong games for Port Moody as midfielders while David Kok had an outstanding match on the right wing as an attacking midfielder. sports@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC

Nov. 15th Vision re-elect Focus mae reiD Dedication coquitlam city council Mae has demonstrated her competence and experience both at City Council and in the Community for 23 years. She is a busy, energetic, and effective member of Council. Growth - Building For tomorrow Housing affordability is an urgent need everywhere in the lower mainland, not only in Coquitlam. We are moving ahead with a diverse selection of housing options, and challenging our builders to be innovative and practical. We are one of the high growth communities in the Lower Mainland. Burquitlam is undergoing massive change around the SkyTrain line, as is our Town Centre area. Burke Mountain is developing at a rapid pace, and we are busy keeping up with interest in Maillardville and rhe Fraser Mills neighbourhoods. I have the knowledge and enthusiasm to continue to push for the best from the builders. The WOW factor is what we are looking for!
core Services, Police & Fire
When we discuss Public Safety, it does not just mean Police & Fire. It also means safe roads and intersections and quality underground services. We have increasing costs for delivery of the services from Metro Vancouver, however this year we have a decrease in the cost of garbage services with recycling being done by MMBC. Our new fire station in Burke Mountain is nearing competion and an open house for residents should be very soon. The MosT pressing issue is that there has to be an acknowledgement as to what we as taxpayers can afford to pay when it comes to negotiations of contracts. We want and need to provide the best at a fair cost.
raise revenues and more responsibilities are being downloaded to the City that we do not have funds for.
environment & riverview lands • City Councillor - 23 years My friends, the Riverview lands are our heritage site. We have an irreplaceable arboretum with a tree collection valued at well over $50 million dollars.
