Rock talk over Coquitlam River biz Allard boss says no plans for new cement facility on Pipeline GaRy MCKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
A group of Pipeline Road residents fear that zoning changes to a nearby property could pave the way for cement operations on the Coquitlam River, a notion adamantly denied by the gravel and concrete operator who owns the land. Bedrock Granite Services Ltd., a stone-cutting business, has been located on the east side of Pipeline since 1986 on land that is leased to the company by Allard Contractors Ltd. A few years ago, it was discovered that Bedrock is not in compliance with current city zoning bylaws, which stipulates the company can only cut stones extracted from the land on which the business sits. Now, the city is working to amend the zoning bylaw to bring the company into compliance. But language in a staff report stating the changes would allow for the “manufacturing of… concrete products” has neighbours
up in arms. “[Bedrock] doesn’t do cement products,” said Bonnie Norquay, whose family has lived up the road from the property for 47 years. “If it was strictly Bedrock behind this, why include the cement?” She and several of her neighbours, including Jeannie Dmytronetz and Ingrid Heldt, fear that Allard Contractors may have its eye on the property for future gravel and cement production. If that is the case, Norquay said, it would put a major industry on the shore of the Coquitlam River. Jim Allard, vice-president of Allard Contractors, called residents’ assertions that a ready-mix plant could be located on the Bedrock site “a fairy tale.” In order to put cement operations at 1875 Pipeline Rd., he said, the land would have to be re-zoned to M4 industrial from its current A3 agricultural, a change that is not likely to happen given the property’s proximity to the Coquitlam River. “That is an absolute red herring,” he said. “There is no way you could put a ready-mix plant there without rezoning the land.” see leGAl CAses, page A16

Bonnie Norquay, a resident of Pipeline Road in Coquitlam, is concerned a zoning change proposed for a property next to the Coquitlam River could pave the way for more industrial activity there. But the property’s owner says suggestions a cement plant could be placed there is a “red herring.”

Girls get their hands dirty in new Riverside auto shop class
B.C. surgical waits average 5 months Institute says province lowballs wait times Jeff naGel BlaCk Press
A new report by the Fraser Institute criticizes long waits for surgery in B.C. and accuses the province of routinely underestimating the wait times it
publishes on its website. B.C. patients wait an average of five months for medically necessary elective surgery, according to the annual report by the think tank. It shows the average patient waits 9.5 weeks once referred by a GP until they see a specialist and then another 11.6 weeks from the specialist appointment to surgery.

Under the hood, a class just for girls Sarah Payne
RIVERSIDE IS GOOD FOR WOOD
The Tri-CiTy News
I
t used to be that high school shop classes were an unspoken guys-only zone but a new class at Riverside secondary is giving girls a more welcoming chance to look under the hood. Shop teacher Jordan Wycherley has been at the Port Coquitlam school for two years and quickly noticed his auto mechanic classes were stacked with male students plus, at best, a couple of female students. He suggested a different strategy and posted the Women’s Auto class at the start of the year — and it quickly filled up. “I had talked to a lot of girls who said they wanted to do it but they felt intimidated,” Wycherley told The Tri-City News. “They wanted to learn basic car maintenance, be able to take their car into a shop and know what they’re talking about and feel safe driving on their own — and if something happens, how to fix their own car.” Two months into the new
Riverside secondary’s wood shop is set for materials for another three or four years thanks to a significant donation from Port Moody’s Mill and Timber. The sawmill donated six lifts of rough-cut cedar and Douglas fir to the school, with PoCo Building Supplies, another decades-old local business, stepping in to deliver the wood. Teacher Jordan Wycherley said the wood will be used by the school’s junior classes learning joinery and construction while senior classes will use it for furniture building and other projects. “The budget doesn’t really allow us to buy a lot of materials,” Wycherley said, “so this donation means a huge amount.”
class, Wycherley said many of the Women’s Auto students are asking for a senior automotive option in future years. “They seem to be really enjoying it,” he said. Student Sam Hemphill wanted to know enough about cars “to not get
screwed over when I go into a shop,” she said while cleaning the grease off a differential. And after being the only girl in her industrial design class three years ago, she jumped at the chance to get her hands dirty in mechan-
ics without having the spotlight on her as a member of a female minority. “For girls, it’s intimidating to go into a shop class full of guys,” said student Destiny Ryan, also scrubbing away on the differential. “You don’t want to be
judged if you don’t know an answer or if you get something wrong.” A girl who joins a shop class of all, or nearly all, male students, is under tremendous pressure, Ryan added. “You’re expected to be really smart at it or really stupid.”
Wycherley said the students in Women’s Auto have shown a keen interest in learning the material right from the start. “They’re eager to absorb the knowledge, they ask more questions,” he said. “They want to know the why, not just the how.” One student has already put her newfound car repair know-how to work, fixing her mom’s van and discovering a potentially dangerous problem in the process. “We were driving and it started making a lot of noise,
so I asked her if something was wrong with the oil and she said it was empty,” said student Yara Amara. She then brought the van into the class and changed the oil, and during a routine check on the tires found one that was dangerously loose. “Any time we were driving, the thing could have fallen off,” Amara said, grinning proudly, and adding, “I like this class because it’s one of the few classes at school where you get to use it in real life.” spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

HEALTH CARE
Wait doubles since ’93 continued from front page
The wait to see the specialist was unchanged in 2014 from 2013 but the wait from specialist to surgery increased slightly from 10.4 weeks a year ago, according to the report. And the overall wait of 21.1 weeks has more than doubled since 1993. The study examined a wide range of procedures and averaged the wait times. Orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery and plastic surgery had the longest wait times nationally, while medical or radiation oncology had average waits of four weeks or less because cancer patients get high priority. Fraser Institute economist and report lead author Bacchus Barua said the wait times for treatment are “unacceptably high” despite high levels of health care spending. The findings also show B.C. patients are now waiting longer than they did two years ago for various diagnostic procedures. MRI waits have risen most dramatically, from 12 weeks in 2012 to 20 weeks this year — the longest in Canada — while CT scan and ultrasound waits both rose from four to five weeks over the same period. B.C.’s health ministry publishes estimated wait times on its website but the report argues those numbers are “inaccurate.” It says the 11.1-week wait time claimed by the ministry for orthopedic
Speak up! You can comment on any story you read at www.tricitynews.com surgery as of this spring is mathematically impossible given the number of patients waiting in B.C. then and how fast surgeries were being done, suggesting the real wait would be 16 to 24 weeks longer. “Specialty by specialty, month in and month out, the median wait figures reported by the ministry remain consistently, and surprisingly, lower than expected given the number of patients waiting and the number of procedures can reasonably be expected to be performed per week.” The disparity between the government’s wait times and Fraser Health’s estimates is in part because the province only counts the wait for surgery as beginning when the hospital receives the operating room booking. The Fraser Institute says that method understates the actual wait because some hospitals only take bookings a few months ahead — wiping longer waits off the official statistics — and excludes any delay between the decision to treat a patient and the formal booking. Health ministry spokesperson Kristy Anderson said the Fraser Institute survey is based on personal opinion rather than hard clinical data because it re-
lies on surveys of doctors. “We do recognize the challenge,” she said. “Despite increasing the number of surgeries and diagnostic exams, B.C. is facing unprecedented demand for health care services — putting pressure on our wait lists.” B.C.’s total surgical wait is above the national average of 18.2 weeks, according to the study. Patients wait as little as 14 weeks in Saskatchewan and Ontario, but more than 30 weeks in the
Maritime provinces. Barua said potential models for wait time reform include other countries with universal health care systems such as Switzerland, the Netherlands and Australia that also offer a parallel private system catering to those who can pay extra. “Simply putting someone on a list is not the same as providing necessary medical care in a timely manner.”

PORT MOODY HERITAGE
PORT MOODY POLICE
simons says... Moody must do PoMo cops seek more to preserve ioco heritage
a $240k budget hike for 2015 Costs include planning for Evergreen Line Sarah Payne
The Tri-CiTy News
The Port Moody Police Department is asking for a 2015 budget hike of just over $240,000, an increase of 3.87% from 2014. Chief Const. Chris Rattenbury and police board member Robert Simons presented the $9.7-million financial plan at Tuesday’s PoMo council meeting, noting several new initiatives are in the works for 2015. These include the creation of a mental health officer position at a cost of $110,442, a new flex team to assist with high demand areas of policing, increased community engagement and plans for integration of the Evergreen Line. In an email, Rattenbury said the PMPD is working with researchers at SFU to determine what effect the Evergreen Line will have on the city and the information gleaned will be used to assist the police in making plans to manage it by developing an effective working relationship with Transit Police and determining what resources to allocate along the line, including, perhaps, police stations at Moody’s two Evergreen stops.
CHRIS RATTENBURY Another $16,500 is being requested for recruiting costs, which are expected to jump next year due to higher-thanusual turnover. “It’s a bit of an anomaly for 2015 — this is due to several retirements,” Rattenbury wrote, noting the department usually sees one retirement per year but there will be three next year. “And we have recently had some members leave here and go to work for other municipal [police departments], hence our recruiting costs will go up.” Also included in the financial plan are new capital projects proposed for 2015. Replacing the security doors in the nine-yearold PMPD building is slated to cost $25,000 in each of the next three years. According to the report to council, the existing locks are costly to repair and replacement keys can take more than two months to arrive
Buildings are in disrepair at Ioco Sarah Payne
while the new system promises to improve security and provide an audit trail of door access. Other proposed projects include: • $20,000 for new furniture (workstations, desks, chairs); • $18,075 for anti-slip flooring in cells; • $22,500 for Ethos police recruitment exam (would align with other municipal police departments); • and $5,500 for radar equipment for traffic enforcement. Simons said the department is forecasting a potential decrease in traffic fine revenue in 2015, which could further affect the budget. Asked by Coun. Zoe Royer whether there were plans to move the city’s emergency dispatch to E-Comm headquarters in Vancouver, Simons and Rattenbury said a recent review didn’t result in enough information to make a decision. “We’ve brought in the CUPE union, the police services union and management. We’ll collaborate and see what ideas we can come up with” beginning in the new year, Rattenbury added. Mayor Mike Clay said the police budget will be referred to the city budget process for the new council to review early in 2015.

The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody council has tasked the city’s heritage groups with finding a way to preserve the buildings on the Ioco townsite but that wasn’t enough for the president of the heritage society. In a letter sent to council after Tuesday’s meeting, Robert Simons said he was “dismayed that no specific direction was given to have the city engage more forcefully with the property owners to have them meet the conditions” of the bylaw that stipulates maintenance responsibilities for the Ioco site. The bylaw was adopted in July 2002, when Ioco was designated as a heritage conservation area (HCA). The bylaw stipulates that the property owner is responsible for maintaining the property — the site includes four community buildings and 13 residential buildings — to prevent damage from the elements and to ensure buildings are in good repair. “It is clear from physical evidence at three principal heritage buildings — Ioco School, Ioco Community Hall and Ioco Community Store — that the standards of maintenance... have not been complied with,” Simons wrote, adding the same likely also applies to the residential buildings. And while Simons commended council for engaging the heritage commission and the Port Moody Heritage Society, he said the city also needs to “have
the property owners obey Bylaw 2490... as continued discussion without action will not stop the continued decay of these heritage properties.” A staff report detailed the maintenance Devon Estates, the real estate arm of Imperial Oil, had undertaken to date, which consisted mainly of placing tarps over the roofs. When crews attempted to stabilize and waterproof two buildings in summer 2011, the costs skyrocketed due to hazardous materials remediation, structural upgrades and the need for total roof replacements. In June 2012, Imperial Oil submitted an alternative stabilization strategy to the city; a year later it completed “extensive tarping work” on 10 buildings, which continues to be monitored. Simons and Jim Millar, the Port Moody Museum’s executive director, said more needs to be done, noting roofs are decomposing and the buildings have fallen into significant disrepair. “We should all take our due diligence to protect and maintain this heritage,” Simons said. The Port Moody
Heritage Society board will be meeting on Dec. 17 to begin formulating a plan,

HOUSING IN THE TRI-CITIES
Rental housing proves pricey in the Tri-Cities Many pay too much relative to their income GaRy MCKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
A large number of households in the Tri-Cities are spending more than 30% — and as high as 50% — of their income on rent, according to data recently released by the BC Non Profit Housing Association (BCNPHA). In Coquitlam, for example, 48% of the city’s 11,575 renters pay above the 30% income threshold, a measure the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation uses to determine affordability. In the same city, where the average monthly cost of rent and utilities is $1,035, 26% of residents put more than half of their income toward housing. The numbers are slightly better in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody but still troubling, according to Tony Roy, the executive director of BCNPHA. “Minimum-wage folks are people we deal with every day,” he said. “If they make minimum wage... to

For 44% of the city’s 4,515 renters, that amount is more than 30% of their annual income while 21% of PoCo renters are paying more than half their income for lodging. Port Moody, which has the highest average rent and utility costs in the Tri-Cities

allows visitors to the site to compare different parts of the province. For housing advocates like Roy, the solution to the housing affordability issue is fairly straightforward: more homes and more variation on the types of structures that are being built. Smaller units should be just as available as high-end homes, he said, spreading out the types of housing and sizes. “If you make $19,000 or less a year, you are paying over $1,000 in rent,” he added. “If you make in the $40,000 to $70,000 range, you are also spending the same amount in rent. It doesn’t matter that you have less money, the rents are the same for each income bracket.” Roy said that for years, the federal government has been paying the mortgages on co-op housing units — including 60,000 in British Columbia. As the properties are paid off, BCNPHA is encouraging the government to keep the same amount of funding for the program to improve existing social housing and to expand the program.

Police impaired driving road checks kick off today and will run throughout December.
SAFE ROADS
Roadblocks start Police in the Tri-Cities will be stepping up road enforcement to make sure holiday revellers who have over-imbibed don’t put themselves and others in danger. Today (Friday), ICBC and police were scheduled to launch the December CounterAttack campaign, aimed at taking drivers off the road if they’ve drunk too much alcohol. Police will be out in force throughout the month looking for impaired drivers as drunk driving remains one of the top three contributing factors for fatal car crashes in B.C. Although drunk driving laws are tougher, people still

This past summer, more than 60 people were caught in Coquitlam RCMP CounterAttack road checks. But there may be some indication that the antidrunk-driving message is
getting through. In December 2013, 31 impaired drivers were taken off the road in the Tri-Cities, a decrease of 46 from December 2012 and significantly lower than the 131 arrested in the same month in 2009. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
A call picked up by a ham radio operator sent dozens of Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteers to Burke Mountain overnight Wednesday looking for a missing dirt biker who was possibly injured. The emergency call was made using a walkie-talkie-style device and the individual didn’t have a phone or didn’t provide a phone number in his original communications. He did provide a name, which when verified with the help of Coquitlam RCMP and social media, turned out to be someone who was at home safe and sound. Coyle said the team was working with the RCMP to possibly identify the individual who made the call and direction-finding equipment was also being brought to the search area to see if it’s possible to pinpoint where the report was made. “We have to take it seriously and we have to respond the same way we do to anything else,” he said. The original call suggested the individual was in the area of the Port Coquitlam and District Hunting and Fishing Club at the end of Harper Road in Coquitlam.

OUR OPINION
A bottom line i
f seattle can do it, can b.c.? Our southern neighbour’s experiment in creating a living wage for the population has received some support here in b.c., with the bc Federation of labour campaigning for a $15 minimum hourly wage. there is much to commend such a boost — it’s expensive to live in b.c. and someone making $15 an hour as a full-time wage would be better able to provide for themselves. but is this a realistic expectation? most of b.c.’s employers are small businesses that are unlikely to be able to afford a nearly 30% jump in wage costs. Ontario, which has an $11-an-hour minimum wage, the highest in canada, can potentially sustain this incremental increase with a larger manufacturing sector. here in b.c., such an unprecedented hike without a corresponding increase in economic output would be stifling. in cases where the market prevails, employers are likely to pay more than the $10.25 minimum wage, and where companies can only afford the minimum, there is much incentive for workers to get trained for something more life-sustaining.

Donor fatigue means charities must be focused AS I SEE IT

nce again, the contributions and generosity of businesses and individuals supporting the crossroads hospice society’s annual treasures of christmas fundraiser demonstrates the deep commitment our community has to support worthwhile projects. We at crossroads hospice are truly grateful for this. but this year in particular brought home a growing concern. Perhaps it is the coincidence of a packed season of fundraisers in combination with the municipal elections and the financial contribution requests from candidates. maybe it is that a tipping point has been reached. What is increasingly evident is the large and growing number of fundraising activities in our community — perhaps to the point of overwhelming the generosity of donors. this is in no way a comment on the worthiness or merits of the causes; rather, it is a call to recognize a trend that can lead to increased anxiety for fundraisers and donors alike. reflecting on the competing interests within our community of 225,000, it is pretty well conceded that we are a giving community. Judging by the variety and number of events ranging from walking, hiking, running, biking, dining, auctioning (online and real-time), letter writing, quizzing, dancing and drinking, there is no shortage of creativ-
TC
ity when it comes to fundraising. One can even purchase virtual tickets and stay home. all requests are framed and presented for good causes and the causes are diverse and growing. but there are questions that should be considered, such as: how much more can our community support? is there more asking? if so, why? Whose responsibility is it to support the causes? are we in fact enabling offloading of the financial burden that used to be covered through taxation? is this it for 2014? no, it is not. nipping at our heels on dec. 2 is another commendable endeavour on behalf of all canadian charities. crossroads and other local charities are in the mix for Giving tuesday, described at givingtuesdaychallenge.com as “the day when all of canada shifts the focus from shopping to giving back. On Giving tuesday and throughout december, charities, companies and individuals join together to share commitments, rally for favourite causes and think about others.” yikes, let’s hope we haven’t achieved saturation yet. individuals face an array of donor and volunteer opportunities. decisions are based on personal preferences, priorities and resources. it seems that more often than before, people must say “no” as the number of asks increase. but how about businesses? talking to the owner of a
small, local restaurant recently, i was told that it receives nearly 100 requests a month. in the value proposition presented to local businesses, who are you going to support? how will businesses make their corporately responsible decisions? i have posed a lot of questions here and the answers are not easily discernible. but one thing is certain: donor fatigue is a real concern for all of us who work in non-profits that rely on donor vibrancy. at crossroads hospice, we count on those who have benefited from our services to support us. We also depend upon corporate and business sponsorships. We support end-of-life care but we understand that there are many needs to be met along the way to end of life. it is time that many of us take a good long look at our services and how we fund them with an eye to long-term sustainability. i think we can make a decision to be part of the solution. Our asking should be measured and mindful. Our focus must be acute, our services targeted and effective, and our administration lean. We all share the responsibility for our community’s well being. We must be careful not to overwhelm the overwhelming generosity in our community.

THE ENVIRONMENT
Salmon must be protected The Editor, I’d like to thank the Hyde Creek Watershed Society streamkeepers for welcoming the community to their wonderful open house Nov. 16. The many environmental societies and the corporations they invited to participate provided displays, activities and educational opportunities to inform people of local areas of ecological concern, and the importance of maintaining habitat for native and endangered species. In addition, I would like to tell people of the amazing feat of both coho and chum salmon that spawn in Hyde Creek. Some of these fish will actually swim several kilometres and more than 500 vertical feet up Burke Mountain to the west end of Highland Drive

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Refusing Chevron cash is way to go The Editor, Re. “Chevron $ up for the taking in Tri-Cities” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 21). Congratulations to the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association for coming out against Chevron’s Fuel Your School program. While the Surrey school board and School District 43 have taken money, Vancouver School Board has said “No.” All schools and school boards should give the Chevron offer a thumbs down. Replacing provincial funding with a few bucks
from the under-taxed, record profits of a huge multinational is no way to run out schools. Our premier and provincial government may want to slough off their responsibilities to fund education by letting corporations throw a few bucks into the system now and then, but what the BC Liberals should be doing is taxing those same corporations at a fair rate, which would ensure full funding of education for generations to come. Barrie Abbott, Port Coquitlam
a short swim, it’s a steady, steep swim for fish against a fairly strong current. The fact that the salmon will swim that high up Burke Mountain empha-
sizes how important it is that we do everything we can to ensure Hyde Creek continues to be viable, healthy salmon habitat. It is under threat from the activities of development. There have been several failures of erosion and sediment control while building and landscaping is underway. If citizens see muddy, turbid water flowing down the street or in the creeks, it is important to report it to the municipal public works so that its source can be investigated. It’s imperative that Hyde Creek’s gravel stream beds remain clear of clay particulate so as to not suffocate the salmon eggs deposited there. These fish belong not only to us but must be here for future generations. Janet Klopp, Coquitlam

Thanks for voting help The Editor, I want to thank The Tri-City News and your staff for the excellent coverage of the civic election. I am a relatively new resident of Port Moody and have taken an active interest in the issues facing our community as articulated in the course of this election. Unfortunately, I’ve been “grounded” by a broken ankle and was, therefore, unable to get to any of the all-candidates meetings. Your stories plus the work by Geoff Scott of TriCities Community Television in preparing the short videos for so many candidates was extremely helpful to me as I prepared to vote for the first time here.

PORT MOODY
huge PM daycare gets OK 157 spots in planned Suter Brook daycare Sarah Payne
The Tri-CiTy News
Landing a daycare spot in Port Moody should be a bit easier once the new Suter Brook office building goes up because its entire second floor will be the home of Kids & Co. At Tuesday’s meeting, council approved the rezoning application and land use contract amendments for the office tower at 220 Brew St. to allow for the 157-spot daycare — but with some reservations. “This is going to be an office building and there will be lots of people going in and out and traffic is going to be an issue at the
end of the day,” said Coun. Rick Glumac. “I want to be sure what we’re putting in place here is the most appropriate traffic plan looking forward.” Concerns about parking, traffic congestion and children’s safety had dogged the application since it first came up for council consideration in July. Onni Development went back to the drawing board, tasking Diamond Parking with stepping up enforcement in the cramped village and hiring a traffic consultant to re-jig the parkade entrances at Morrissey Road and Brew Street, and submitted a new application. Many of the people who spoke at Tuesday’s public hearing were still not satisfied, however. “Congestion in the few streets is overwhelming,” said one Suter Brook
resident, complaining that streets are often jammed with delivery and maintenance trucks, moving vans and garbage trucks because the parkade ceilings are too low to accommodate them. “When it gets so congested, people will stop doing business here.” Others questioned the appeal of a “big-box daycare” with no grassy space for kids to play on. (Kids will use the 6,000 sq. ft. deck, with a rubberized surface, for outdoor play.) One resident also noted too much attention had been paid to the Morrissey entrance, not the Brew Street parkade entrance
that would be used by most daycare parents. A representative of Creative Transportation Services, which drew up plans for improving the flow of traffic in and out of the parkade, said the proposed solution took into account both entrances. “We’re trying to improve the overall underground parkade,” he said of the plans, which will largely shift traffic flow to one way in a circular path. Coun. Diana Dilworth pointed out the nearly 30 written submissions in support of the application and said it was up to council to provide a much-needed
service for parents in an area where many young families live. Coun. Bob Elliott, in the last council meeting of his 12-year run at the PoMo table, voted against the amendments out of concern for children’s safety in the high-traffic area. Coun. Rosemary Small and Gerry Nuttall, both of whom were defeated in the Nov. 15 civic election, did not attend the meeting. The proposal passed with Mayor Mike Clay and councillors Dilworth, Glumac and Zoe Royer supporting it. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

‘MO’ STANDS FOR MONEY IN POCO
PROJECT COST RISES Replacing the siding on the Westhill community centre is proving more costly than expected. Last month, council approved a project tender for $375,000 to replace the wood siding with HardiPlank on the mid-1970s-era building, based on earlier testing to determine the level of damage. But when the contractor began removing the siding, workers discovered areas with significant water damage to the wall studs, insulation and drywall. Repairing it has also required an asbestos-abatement process, a staff report notes. The additional work is estimated at $112,879, to be funded from money remaining in the facility capital projects budget.

The mission of firefighters with Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services this past month has been to raise awareness about men’s health, promote cancer screening and raise money for prostate cancer research — in addition to growing awesome facial hair and providing emergency services. The group of firefighters, including Adam Myles, Ryan Masi and Kirk Paterson, as well as Jeff Hayward of Orrange Kitchen-Bar (centre back), which held a fundraiser for the cause, has raised about $15,000 and was tops in Canada for all fire departments.

Legal cases ‘all over the map’ DRY FLOOR SPORT FACILITY TO OPEN
Construction on the Poirier Dry Floor Facility in Coquitlam is expected to wrap up next week following the completion of some paving and curbing work. The project was scheduled to open last month but issues over the paving contract created delays. As a result, the contract was re-tendered, pushing back the completion timeline to December. Last week, city staff said the $3.9-million, 23,000sq. ft. facility will be completed in time for the 34th annual Coquitlam Christmas craft fair, which is taking place Dec. 5 to 7 at nearby Dogwood Pavilion. The main parking area around Dogwood will remain open, according to city staff, but access to the parking lot will be re-routed. There will also be additional signage and fencing to redirect motorists. Meanwhile, the south entrance to the Centennial Pavilion will be closed, which means visitors will have to access the site by the north and east entrances. The Poirier Dry Floor Facility is expected to be a multipurpose building used for lacrosse, ball hockey and soccer. For more information, go to www.coquitlam.ca. For booking after the facility is complete, email bookings@coquitlam.ca.
NEW COUNCILLORS
Residents and businesses in Coquitlam are invited to attend the city’s inaugural council meeting on Monday, Dec. 1, at 7 p.m. The event will take place in city hall council chambers (3000 Guildford Way), where the new council will be introduced before taking the oath of office. For residents who cannot attend in person, the meeting can be viewed online at www.coquitlam.ca/ webcasts. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC

He noted that his company will be spending $1 million to $2 million to construct a building that will mitigate noise from the Bedrock site, something neighbours have also complained about. If council does not approve the zoning changes, Allard said it could have ramifications for all of the businesses on Pipeline Road. For example, his company produces cement made from material trucked in from other properties, something that may not be allowed under the current zoning rules, he said. “If we could only manufacture concrete from the material at that site, nobody would ever be allowed to do anything,” he said, adding that the “legal cases are all over the map.” Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s manager of development services, confirmed that the changes before council would not allow for concrete production at 1875 Pipeline Rd. The language in the staff report only means that Bedrock can cut pieces of concrete manufactured on outside properties, he said. Asked about a business not complying with zoning over a number of years,
he said in the past, local government had little authority over mines, which were regulated under the provincial Mining Act. Over the years, however, a series of legal interpretations and court decisions have allowed cities to narrow the scope of what types of activities can occur on properties where resource extraction is taking place. McIntyre said it is likely the zoning changes were made to the Bedrock property without anyone realizing the company would be
in non-compliance. “These things evolve over time,” he said. “We don’t go out actively looking for non-compliance. Something may be operating under the radar. Then, when the complaints come in, the city is duty-bound to deal with it.” A public hearing on the zoning amendment is scheduled to take place in council chambers at Coquitlam city hall on Monday, Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC

D
ecember is just days away and I am wondering where the year went. With the winter weather upon us, shopping at farmers’ market can be a challenge — but it is worth the extra effort. As always, local business is getting your support and food security is getting a boost with every dollar you choose to spend at a farmers’ market. In case you are wondering if there is still anything to purchase, let me assure you that the abundance is still impressive. The variety might not be as great for fresh produce but there are plenty of other options. Root vegetables are the obvious choice. Potatoes, beets, turnips and carrots are plentiful. There is also plenty of kale, which can be used in many different ways. I put it in my smoothies every morning, puree it in my spaghetti sauce and use it fresh in my salads. Seasoning kale correctly is key to enjoying it. Strong flavours such as sesame, soy and chili are most complementary with
1 c soy sauce 1 ¼ cups maple syrup ¼ c freshly squeezed orange juice 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice 1 tbsp minced fresh garlic 1 tsp minced fresh ginger 4 x 6 oz wild salmon fillet, skin on 2 tbsp butter
5-SPICE APPLE CHUTNEY
2 apples, peeled cored and cut into small cubes ½ small onion, diced 2 tbsp raisins 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar ½ to 1 tsp Chinese 5-spice powder
Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer until apples and onions are soft. If you really want to benefit from apples, grab a bottle of Walter’s organic apple cider vinegar. The health benefits from a shot of vinegar every day are almost too numerous to mention. Its antibiotic properties can soothe an upset stomach or ease a sore throat. A stuffy nose is opened up by drinking a glass of water mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar. It can help lower cholesterol and may even help with weight

loss — the stuff is amazing. Squash is another favourite of mine. There are so many ways to prepare it. Roasted, stuffed, pureed, the list is long. At the very least, you can puree it and stir it into macaroni and cheese to hide it. From a health perspective, most winter squash is chock full of goodness.

Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in flour and cook until browned, being careful not to burn. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly so as not form lumps. When all the milk has been added, continue cooking so sauce thickens. You can add more milk if need be as you don’t want the sauce to be too thick. Stir in mustard, Worcestershire sauce and 1 cup cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add cooked pasta and mix. Gently stir in roasted vegetables, being careful not to mash the squash too much. Pour into a greased casserole dish, top with remaining cheese, and bake uncovered 30 minutes.

OF THE WEEK!
Safety Tip: Almost four in 10 respondents to an ICBC survey feel less confident driving in winter. Staying off the road can sometimes be a less stressful and safer option. Instead, take public transit, get a ride with a friend or family member who is a confident driver, or take a taxi.

Lights, camera, action at LA auto show Los Angeles, Cal. The 2014 Los Angeles International Auto Show debuted some brilliant vehicles that will (and won’t) be coming to the streets near you. Whether it’s an all-new sedan/coupe, a car that will take you from point A to B, or a vehicle that was designed for the virtual world, the Golden State’s auto show had all of the above and more. Here’s a look at what the North American manufacturers have been up to in the last while. Cadillac ATS-V Coupe and Sedan: The long anticipated “V” series of ATS sedan and coupe is just around the corner. When Cadillac’s ATS hit the streets two years ago, it not only impressed the journalistic community, but buyers alike. It even earned the title of the 2013 North American Car of the Year, and rightfully so. Now the ATS comes with more potency, more performance, and a lot more of everything. The ATS-V will introduce class-leading twin-turbocharged power
by Alexandra Straub
and a comprehensive suite of design and performance systems when production begins in spring 2015. Under its carbon fibre hood – a standard feature on all ATS-V models – is a newly developed 3.6L, V6 with an impressive 455 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque. The well– endowed engine can then be matched with either a 6-speed manual (yay, a manual!) or a paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission featuring launch control and Performance Algorithm Shift. It looks beautiful and I can’t wait to get behind its wheel. The crowd was also assured they wouldn’t be disappointed. I am counting the minutes. Ford Explorer: The 2016 Ford Explorer was introduced at 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show to an excited
crowd. With a fresh look, a newly available 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder engine (expected to deliver approximately 270 hp and at least 300 lb.-ft. of torque, an increase of 13 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively, over the 2.0-litre EcoBoost), and an all-new, range-topping Platinum se-
ries, this SUV keeps getting better. It improves on many different levels. For example, for the first time, a four-cylinder Explorer will be available with Ford’s intelligent four-wheel-drive system and will be able to tow up to 3,000 pounds (1,361 kg),
outperforming the current Explorer equipped with 2.0-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder. Furthermore, this sixth generation SUV – which has been selling for over 25 years and is available in over 100 markets worldwide – will come equipped with ability to park itself, if you happen to select the Platinum edition. The system helps the driver parallel park or perpendicular park using ultrasonic sensors and electric power-assisted steering. Park-out assist uses sensors to assist in pulling out of parallel parking spots. All you have to do is control the throttle and brake. Ford Shelby GT350
Mustang: A friend of mine named her daughter Shelby. Yes, after the Mustang. She likes cars, too. Aside from it being an icon of North American culture, it also represents how engineers continue to push the envelope in regards to engine development. The GT350 is powered by a unique, high-revving flatplane crankshaft 5.2-litre V8 engine that will produce more than 500 hp – the most powerful naturally aspirated Ford production engine ever. No turbochargers necessary! The Shelby GT350 Mustang is the latest in an all-new line of Mustang fastback and convertible models,
including the specially designed 50th Anniversary Edition Mustang. Fun fact, more than 9.2 million Mustangs have been sold since the car’s 1964 debut. Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo: As a kid, I would envision myself as a cartoon/video game character. Maybe it’s because I often become so animated. Okay, bad joke, but it’s sometimes nice to see make-believe come to life. The Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept is a car that was designed for the virtual world, and for young ones, or the young at heart to play with in the comfort of their living room. As cool as the Chev Chaparral concept is, I am not sure I’d really love to drive a car that I sit head first in – think of the Olympic sport – the skeleton! And mid-mounted laser, beamed-energy propulsion system might take some getting used to. But heck, it’s worth a go! continued on page A23

Black Label for those with a taste for Lincoln by Bob McHugh
Label customers will be conquests from other luxury brands. “It’s not exclusive to our most expensive products” he added “and will be offered on the entire product line and through selected dealers in major metropolitan areas, who meet internally set criteria.” A separate Black Label salon will be added to the selected Lincoln dealers in the program, but a buyer may never actually need to go to a dealership. A Black Label liaison representative, from the dealer, will go to the customer, at their office, home, to show them the materials, themes in the package and arrange a test drive. If legal to do so in a particular jurisdiction, even the sale contract can also be finalized, without going into the dealership. In addition to the unique buying experience, an owner also receives a number of perks, such as a better warranty that includes wearable part replacement. They also get
This one concept truck just might become reality continued from page A22
Regardless, the concept was developed as part of the Vision Gran Turismo project, which celebrates the future of automotive design and innovation. Gamers can race the Chaparral 2X VGT this Christmas season by downloading an online update for Gran Turismo 6. Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Concept: I can’t count how many times I’ve encountered a concept and wished upon shooting stars for it to become a production vehicle. Well, perhaps, this one might (fingers crossed) come true. After all, a few components of the all-new midsized Colorado are coming to life. We just have to wait a little while for it. One of those magical parts is the 2.8L Duramax diesel, which is expected to be outfitted in the truck some-
time in 2015 for the 2016 model year. That diesel packs an estimated 181 hp at 3,400 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm for your towing pleasure. The 2.8L Duramax diesel is part of a new, global family of turbo-diesel four-cylinder engines designed to deliver more-efficient capability. When looking at it, well, it’s not your ordinary truck. The Colorado ZR2 wears a concept Cyprus Green exterior color, with Henna Orange accents and custom ZR2 identification on the rear fenders, tailgate and grille. Not to mention a sizeable set of off-road ready tires; a set of 275/65R18 offroad rubbers mounted on custom 18-inch aluminum multi-spoke, bead-lock-style wheels. alexandra.straub @drivewaybc.ca

Black Label homes, like the one I visited in Hollywood, will feature the design themes and materials used in the vehicles and more will be set up in Dallas, Miami, New York and Michigan.

Not all the action took place on the floor of the Los Angeles auto show. At a mansion, high in the ritzy Hollywood Hills neighbourhood, Lincoln hosted a classy special event to launch its Black Label edition vehicles for the well-to-do. Black Label vehicles will come fitted with one of four designer-inspired interiors that will feature ultra-posh Venetian leathers, Ziricote wood and Alcantara suede. Buyers also select from an exclusive array of exterior paints and custom colours and the vehicle will come with unique trim and lighting elements that will identify it as Black Label. “These are our busiest customers and we’ve got to deliver a very unique and personalized product that can reflect the innermost passions of our customers,” said Lee Jelenic, Lincoln Marketing Manager (and a native of Sudbury, Ontario). “It has to go well beyond the product and provide membership privileges that fit where they are and around their time.” The top five per cent of existing Lincoln customers are expected to move up to Black Label, according to Jelenic. And he expects about two-thirds of Black
event of some kind, within each city. Initially, Black Label will only be available on two Lincoln products, the new MKC (compact crossover) and the MKZ sedan, and it comes with about a $6,000 (US) price premium. The plan is eventually to have a Black Label edition of every Lincoln, as all-new vehicles are added to the product line. A Canadian version of Black Label (similar to the US) is expected to be launched about this time next year. bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca

Ledingham McAllister gives the gift of saving this season eason n Sometimes the best gifts are the ones that can’t fit under the tree. From now until December 18, buyers are able to save up to $10,000 off their new home purchase at any one of the Ledingham McAllister communities. There will be a box available to draw from containing “Christmas Crackers,” that enclose a voucher revealing the
savings. When a new home purchase is finalized, the savings will be applied against the balance owing for the home’s purchasers. Senior Vice President, Marketing and Design of Ledingham McAllister, Manuela Mirecki, says that this is a new promotion in reaction to the fact that in the last couple of years they experi-
enced a surprising number of people purchasing homes in the days leading up to the holidays. “Most communities for sale wind down their sales program at this time of year, so we thought it would be a fantastic opportunity for our future home owners.” There are seven beautiful and diverse developments with the perfect

Ho me
GVHBA: Keeping families warm this winter That time of year is upon us; when temperatures drop, the snow falls and presents are bought to put beneath the Christmas tree. For many however, now begins the time of worry – how will I keep my family warm this winter? Or, how I can I make the holidays special for my children? For 19 years, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau has been helping families in need answer those questions and feel the warmth of not only a coat, but the love of the community. The Coats for Kids campaign allows GVHBA members to volunteer the use of their store front locations so that their employees and the public can donate gently used winter coats and mittens for kids and teenagers. 45 member companies at 61 locations in 13 municipalities will serve as coat drop-off sites from November 24 to December 4. CEO with GVHBA, Bob de Wit says that the number of donations has soared off the charts from several dozen in the early years to several thousand last year. “It’s amazing to see the impact - families literally are transformed, not just by the warm apparel but by the spirit of giving that these donations embody,” he says. “The first time I visited the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau’s warehouse, I thought I had stumbled into Santa’s workshop! The scale of the effort and the buzz of energy there really hit it home for me about the deep need we’re filling in the Metro Vancouver region.” He recalls a year when a young family had just moved to Canada from a tropical country. They were severely unprepared for their first Canadian winter, armed with only light jackets for the plummeting temperatures. GVHBA asked if TQ Construction could somehow assist this family, to which TQ’s president and owner, Helene Belisle, immediately accepted. Warm winter jackets were quickly supplied for the whole family, and TQ’s Office Manager, Kim Boer, even added
a scarf and gloves set for the mother – a little extra gift from one mother to another. “By the end of the day, the young family was bundled up in their new jackets,” says de Wit. “They were able to feel the generosity from their community and ready for their first winter in their new home country.” Parents are often looking after their children to make sure they properly dressed for the cold, but when it comes to teens, they are frequently more difficult to clothe.
This year’s theme is “Zippers Zipping Buttons Buttoning and Hoodies for Teens,” and focuses on a demographic who are just as interested in how they look as how warm they feel. The solution? Donate an item that is perfectly comfortable without compromising style – the almighty “Hoodie.” “And buttons buttoning and zippers zipping, that is just our way to make sure what is passed on is gently used,” says de Wit, “because no one wants get a great coat
that doesn’t zip up.” This year the GVHBA isn’t just collecting coats; they are also looking for other quality clothing, blankets, mittens, hats and new toys. With Christmas right around the corner, de Wit says that new toys are especially welcome. “This winter season, take the opportunity to pass along those coats your kids have outgrown,” he says. “It is a simple way to warm one’s heart, and with all the GVHBA member drop-off locations, giving is effortless.” For a full list of participating GVHBA locations and times visit: www.gvhba.org

MORE LOSSES FOR CATS
BY GARY MCKENNA THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Port Moody Panthers will be looking to break a two-game losing skid when the Delta Icehawks come to town on Saturday. The Pacific Junior Hockey League club posted back-to-back losses and can’t seem to put together a string of wins to help themselves out of the division standings basement. On Friday, Richmond drew first blood in a 3-1 win, when Matthew Bissett buried a pass from Daniel Oakley on the power play in the first period. Penalties cost the Panthers again in the second, when the Sockeyes got goals from Troy Kaczynski and Oakley, both with the man advantage. The only marker the Cats could notch came at the four minute mark of the third period, when Adam Rota scored on a pass from Derian White. It was the same story on Saturday night for the Port Moody squad. After a scoreless first period, Mission found a way to solve Panthers net minder Spencer Kozlowski, pumping in two quick goals midway through the second. Jamie Housch made it 3-0 for the visitors two minutes before the second intermission. The Outlaws added to their lead in the final frame, with Port Moody’s lone goal coming with 30 seconds left in the match. When the buzzer sounded, the Cats were down 5-1.

During her time with Canada’s national women’s soccer team, Geri Donnelly had a tremendous amount of success. She scored two goals in the squad’s first ever international competition against the U.S. in 1986 and competed in the 1995 and 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup. She has also won several national championships with the Coquitlam Strikers and Surrey United. This month, the Coquitlam resident was inducted into the Soccer Hall of Fame.

Donnelly’s call to the soccer hall Coq. athlete an early pioneer for Canada’s team
“
BY GARY MCKENNA THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Geri Donnelly is probably best known for scoring the first ever goal for Canada’s national women’s soccer team back in 1986. But when the Coquitlam resident discusses her career highlights, she is most proud of being one of the early pioneers for a program that has grown into one of the country’s greatest sports success stories. “I think the legacy for all of us is that the program is so successful now,” she said. “We were all part of

“We sacrificed for this game... There is such pride in seeing the team today and seeing what they have accomplished.” Geri Donnelly
Hall of Fame last week, said Canada’s program was nowhere near as evolved as it is today when she joined up in 1986. The team, which was
made up of players chosen from their provincial squad, had only been practising together for about 10 days before their first international event against the U.S. Despite a seven-hour bus ride from Winnipeg to Minnesota, Canada came out strong against the home squad. Donnelly made history in the match when she scored the club’s first goal. Later in the game she added a second in the 2-1 victory. “A lot of people focus on those goals,” she said. “At the time, we just wanted to win.” It would not be the only time that Donnelly had success on the international stage. She scored three times
against the USSR in 1990 and notched another goal against Jamaica in 1994. The next year, she competed in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Sweden, adding to her point tally with markers against England and Nigeria. But Donnelly believes that women’s soccer really began to make strides following the 1999 World Cup in the U.S. “In 1995 in Sweden, it wasn’t well attended,” she said. “[The U.S. in 1999] felt like an international event. You felt like after that, the game was going to explode and it did.” Today, the program has more funding and there are more resources available to the players. The team is currently ranked eighth in
the world, in the mix with soccer powerhouses like the United States, England and Brazil. “They’ve really started to realize that the women can be successful,” she said. “Let’s try and give them as many resources as we can.” Donnelly said she was surprised when she got word that she would be inducted to the Soccer Hall of Fame. She was recently honoured as part of the 2014 induction class, along with names like Carmine Marcantino, Isabelle Morneau and another Coquitlam athlete, Chris Bennett. “Nobody ever expects it,” she said. “It came as a total surprise.” see taking, page A36

PoMo Redcaps take down Surrey Cold weather did little to deter the Port Moody Redcaps last Saturday as they took to the field against the Surrey Daredevils in under-13 gold division soccer. There was a lot of back and forth action between the two teams in the early part of the match, however neither side was able to find the back of the net. The Daredevils finally broke the stalemate with a goal coming off a corner kick. However, the early 1-0 lead did not las long, with Redcaps player Arash Borairi using brilliant footwork to get past the Surrey defenders and tie the game at 1-1. In the second half, the Redcaps put the game away with goals from midfielder Bradley Gregory and Connor Wong. The 3-1 win guarantees a spot of the team in the top three in their division and keeps them in the hunt for first place.

With the Coquitlam Strikers, she won national championships in 1990 and 1994 and third with Surrey Untied in 2006. She was also the Women’s Player of the Year in 1996 and 1999 and named to Canada’s all-time women’s team in 2012.
