She said she could do more to assist people after the hurricane in her newly adopted home. “I can be useful here, I could be more supportive of organizations in the community,” Burns told The Tri-City News.

Will SD43 have enough TTOC? DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
With flu season just around the corner, School District 43 is keeping its fingers crossed that it has signed up enough substitute teachers. “We are in really good shape right now, as a good as anyone could hope to be,” said Randy Manhas, SD43’s direc-
tor of human resources. Unlike other school districts that are scrambling for staff, SD43 has hired all of the 181 teachers needed to fulfill the collective agreement and has created a list of teachers teaching on call (TTOC) of up to 250 names for fill-in staff, although that will likely change.

F
or many families, Christmas is a joyful time when relatives gather and share good food and good times. For the Quilty and Allen families, their big annual gettogether is in mid-September on the day of the Terry Fox Run. Their tradition goes back 37 years when grandmother Sylvia Quilty — a generous woman who gave to many charities over the years, said her grandson Curtis Allen — wanted to help the Port Coquitlam hero complete his dream of raising $1 from every Canadian to beat cancer. Allen said Quilty inspired her family to keep his dream alive. Each year, they circle the third Sunday in September on their calendars and, on that day, rise at 7:30 a.m. to drive from Coquitlam to Vancouver to take part in the Stanley Park event in Vancouver. “I can honestly say that not even once did my kids ever complain about having to get up on that sleep-in day,” said Colleen Quilty (Sylvia’s daughter and Curtis’ mom). They register, buy T-shirts and write the name of the person for whom they’re running on that day. Colleen Quilty writes “Terry Fox” on the memory wall; for Allen, it’s “Hilda Ireland,” his grandmother’s neighbour, who died from cancer. “We want to show people suffering from this terrible disease

that they’re not alone,” Allen said, noting both grandparents on his father’s side are cancer survivors. “Everyone knows someone who has had it so it’s something close to our hearts.” Colleen Quilty said the family tends to bump into the same volunteers at the Stanley Park run, many of whom now have
their children behind the tables to help with registration and T-shirt sales. “They always remember my mom and us. I’m sure they remember lots of people and that is what makes it so special.” During the run, the family completes the 3-, 6- or 10-km routes. Over the years, her four
kids — Curtis, Travis, Ashley and Sara — have been carried in a Snugli or pushed in a stroller. When they were old enough, they walked, ran, inline skated or cycled the course. Once, when they were younger, they even rode in a mini motorized Jeep, Colleen Quilty said. A few years back, Sylvia
Quilty’s husband, John, got a push from his daughter in his wheelchair — a challenge given more than half of the Stanley Park run is on trails around Lost Lagoon. But afterward — still in their Terry Fox Run T-shirts and laden with ribbons — they relax and spend the day at English Bay with their dogs. Curtis Allen said it’s the perfect day. “Just like Christmas dinner with the family, you don’t miss the Terry Fox Run. It’s a celebration.” Colleen Quilty said there have been plenty of times when the weather hasn’t cooperated. Some mornings have been dark and gloomy — with the wind so strong that their umbrellas turned inside out — while others have been blistering hot. Sara Allen, who has taken part in Terry Fox Runs for more than 30 years, said they remember how Fox battled the extreme climate and lace up their runners no matter what. “Rain or shine — and there was a lot of rain — we were there and ready to walk or run, just as Terry would have been,” she said. “Terry had a dream and that was to live in a world that was cancer-free. His hope and positive attitude led him through his 5,373 km of determination.” She added, “Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope is not only raising funds for cancer research. It is also bringing communities and families all over the world together each year.”
Curtis Allen, who has travelled to St. Johns, N.L., with Sylvia Quilty and his brother to visit the Terry Fox Monument at Mile Zero (where Fox dipped his artificial leg to launch his Marathon of Hope in April 1980), said he’s now passing the tradition to his girlfriend of five years, a native of Brazil. His words of hope can also be heard on a video that’s part of the national Terry Fox touring exhibit, currently showing at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria. He was interviewed, of course, after a Terry Fox Run in Stanley Park — the place where Fox was supposed to conclude his Marathon of Hope. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Flu season will tell whether SD43 has enough substitutes continued from front page
“Since January of last year, we’ve been anticipating what’s been coming our way. We’ve been working to increase our TTOC numbers,” Manhas said. “Primarily, we’ve gotten a lot of
teachers in other districts who want to come to Coquitlam. “We’re looking for good, qualified teachers. Tri-Cities is such an amazing community for people to live in,” he noted, adding that housing affordability is still better than

in Burnaby and Vancouver, and that could be one of the factors for teachers wanting to work even on-call in this district. Things could change in a matter of weeks, however, as other districts may be in a posi-
tion to offer full-time contracts at the same time SD43 could be snapping up teachers for more full-time staff as classes become organized and gaps are revealed. “Again, even at times, even 250 [TTOC] is not enough,”
Manhas told The Tri-City News. With the fall flu season as soon as a few weeks away, the district could face challenges depending on the severity. But for now, he’s hopeful the district has a large enough staffing complement to meet

Sciatica, Stenosis and Herniated Discs May Be to Blame for Pain and Numbness in Legs LOCAL CLINIC OFFERS FREE CONSULTATION TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM BACK AND NECK PAIN Did you know that over 30 million North Americans suffer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spine and back problems result from an auto accident, injury, or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood and improperly treated. They can result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body.
Whiplash Neck Pain
This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. You might not even be able to sleep at night without pain. If you suffer from debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and decades of experience to help you find relief from disc problems and sciatica. The Spinal Decompression Institute focuses on treating all disc and spine-related conditions with advanced non-surgical treatments. We are so confident that we can help you find relief that we are offering a complimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.

Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal... Without Drugs or Surgery Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intradiscal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally and is only one of many treatment options available at the Spinal Decompression Institute.
Class IV Therapeutic Laser The Spinal Decompression Institute employs a variety of high-tech solutions along with decades of experience to help alleviate your particular pain. Along with spinal decompression, our Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapy is an outpatient, non-surgical procedure which is often used in sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury and damage. This leading-edge technology has shown results in returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life. Laser therapy is just one of the treatment options that Spinal Decompression Institute offers as a non-invasive option for those facing surgery.

If you have chronic or severe back pain, you may be a candidate for spinal decompression treatment. At the Spinal Decompression Institute, we will evaluate your condition and only recommend treatment if it’s right for you.

FATAL MVA
Crash investigation could take months WorkSafeBC says truck rolled over its operator GARY MCKENNA
The Tri-CiTy News
WorkSafeBC’s investigation into a fatal crash last week involving a runaway dump truck could take up to a year. But the provincial workplace safety authority has released some information about the accident, saying the articulated rock truck rolled over its operator, later identified on social media as 32-year-old Maple Ridge resident Bobby Vanderhoef, after he parked the vehicle on an incline. The truck eventually rolled onto Lougheed Highway, where it crashed into several vehicles, killing a woman in her 60s and
injuring four others. “The investigation is ongoing and could take anywhere from a few months to a year,” said Gillian Burnett, government and media relations officer with WorkSafeBC. “When it has been completed, there will be a detailed incident investigation report that determines cause and prevention.” In the meantime, WorkSafeBC has outlined several requirements M2K Construction must comply with before hauling can commence on the site. The inspection report said the equipment manufacturer’s operating and maintenance instructions must be provided and the company must demonstrate safe work procedures for the site and training records for the new operator. Burnett said the requirements are standard procedure following serious workplace

injuries or deaths. The crash occurred shortly after 3:30 p.m. last Wednesday near Pitt River Road in front of the Riverview Hospital grounds, where witnesses said a large dump truck rolled down the hill from a work site above. Someone tried to stop the truck but was run over before the rig careened onto the Lougheed, according to people at the scene. Coquitlam RCMP confirmed that the dump truck was unoccupied when it struck the highway traffic and the operator.
Vanderhoef was a former Pinetree secondary student who was recently married and expecting a baby. His wife, Amanda Vanderhoef, said on Facebook that receiving the call about the incident was “the worst thing I have ever been through.” “I want you to come back to me,” she posted Wednesday afternoon. “We are suppose to raise this baby together as a team. I don’t know how I am going to go on without.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

River cleanup crew decries dumped junk Construction materials, furniture and more found DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
Volunteers who spent last Saturday picking up couches, TVs, hypodermic needles and other junk along the Coquitlam River are asking people to properly dispose of their unwanted stuff and deal with construction waste to give nature a break. A group of local fishing enthusiasts and other volunteers spent several hours hauling hundreds of items out of the woods around Pipeline Road in Coquitlam and from Lions Park to Gates Park in Port Coquitlam. “We only got about a quarter or a half of what’s out there. Dumping is extremely prevalent along Pipeline Road, and in
to collect 30 needles, mostly in areas under bridges. Thom said the event ended with a barbecue and the distribution of prizes from local businesses Me-n-Ed’s Pizza and Sea-Run Fly and Tackle as well as the Steelhead Society of BC, and Safeway and Save-OnFoods provided gift certificates for barbecue supplies. Thom said he feels good that a lot of the waste has been cleaned up, but he hopes to get more bang for his buck, as well. “We’re trying to bring awareness to the issue.” Recently, Metro Vancouver launched its Put Waste in its Place campaign with a website that helps people figure out how to dispose of their unwanted items. More information about Metro Vancouver’s initiative is available at metrovancouver. org.

dent into it.” Still, it’s disheartening to see so much junk thrown into the bushes or dumped off the side
of the road, including construction waste, he said, noting, “I knew what to look for, I’d seen it all before.”
Saturday’s event was part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, which takes place across Canada every September. Thom said the last time a big group tackled the area was about two years ago and, prior to that, Garry Elgear of the nowclosed Riverside Fly and Tackle shop organized cleanups for a number of years. Thom said he first joined Elgear on the cleanups and this year organized one with the help of Megan Rempel. A number of fishing enthusiasts, like himself, pitched in along with many other local residents. One volunteer took charge of the sharps box and managed

It ripped open the doors and shutters, sending rain pouring in. The wind came up at about 5 a.m. last Wednesday and the storm lasted about five hours. They managed to get the shutters secured and piled up furniture against the door, which was double-barricaded against the storm, but it was still a night to remember, Burns said. The next day, they found large pieces of debris in their yard, including a boat hatch, pieces of someone’s roof and a large chunk of concrete.

MARIEL CHAN PHOTO Mariel Chan, who Some of the devastation on St. planned to study Maarten, where medical student medicine at the Mariel Chan of Port Coquitlam American University rode out Hurricane Irma. of the Caribbean, and her mother, Cecilia, a local accountant, are in the Windy City awaiting information about what’s next for her school after the hurricane destroyed homes and infrastructure on St. Maarten. “We are blessed,” said Alia Chan, Mariel’s sister. “They’re safe.” The family raised the alarm about Canadians stranded in St. Maarten after they were denied a seat on a passenger plane. The university withstood the Category 5 hurricane and Mariel and Cecilia Chan had been housed in the auditorium while they tried to get a flight out. But much of the infrastructure has been destroyed and there were concerns about looting. Eventually, the Chans were airlifted out of St. Maarten by a plane chartered by the university. Alia Chan, whose family started a petition to get the Canadian government to act, said the medical courses may continue in Chicago for now. The federal government said the problem was hurricane damage at the airports. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Nicola Spurling is asking Coquitlam city council to install rainbow crosswalks and a trans crosswalk at a number of possible intersections, including at Pinetree and Guildford ways.
COQUITLAM
Rainbow crosswalks sought for Coquitlam GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News
Members of the Tri-Cities Pride Society are calling on the city of Coquitlam to install a rainbow crosswalk and a trans
crosswalk at several prominent intersections. Nicola Spurling told council Monday that the move would show the city is diverse and accepting of marginalized people. She noted that the
rainbow crosswalks are common in communities around the world and that a trans crosswalk would be a first for British Columbia.

COQUITLAM
City council split on crosswalks continued from page 10
“One is a universal symbol of acceptance and one is showing support for a very marginalized group in the community,” she told The TriCity News. “I am looking for a symbol of diversity and acceptance that is very prominent, that shows people their city welcomes and accepts them.” During her presentation, Spurling addressed several concerns she said she has heard from council members related to the cost of the new crosswalks. She noted that cities often compare the prices with those in the city of Vancouver but in that municipality, the cost included landscaping and picnic tables. For the Coquitlam proposal, she believes the price tag would be comparable to that in New Westminster, where the city paid $7,500 for a rainbow crosswalk, which is not significantly more than a standard crosswalk, she said. Spurling suggested several locations, including Pinetree and Guildford ways, Pinetree and Glen Drive, Pinetree and Lincoln Avenue, and Marmont
Street and Brunette Avenue. She was joined by Ian Soutar, who also expressed support for a rainbow and trans crosswalk during Monday’s council meeting. (Both were Green candidates in Tri-City ridings in the May provincial election.) Some Coquitlam councillors embraced the idea. “There are many reasons to do this and so few reasons not to do it,” said Coun. Chris Wilson, later adding: “Lets not shy away from this as cowards because we want to avoid controversy. Let’s take a leadership role.” Not all at the council table agreed with the rainbow crosswalk proponents. Coun. Brent Asmundson said that allowing one group to have a crosswalk could open the door for other organizations to ask for similar consideration from the city. Coun. Terry O’Neill went one step further, saying that the city is showing its diversity through actions, not symbols. “We are doing a lot of things right,” he said. “We don’t have to wear badges or pins or put billboards up or paint crosswalks… We do it, not with sym-
bols, with actual action.” Other councillors said they would be open to supporting a rainbow crosswalk, which is seen as a symbol of diversity, but were reticent to support a trans crosswalk, which is tied to a specific group. Spurling acknowledged council’s concerns regarding the trans crosswalk and how it highlights difference in the community. But she said trans people are marginalized and that the recognition would show support for a group that has struggled with high suicide rates and depression. Proposals for rainbow crosswalks have cropped up in communities across Metro Vancouver, including Port Moody, where council has been asked to consider installing one on Murray Street between Rocky Point Park and Brewers Row. Port Moody staff are expected to prepare a report for a council meeting this month. Currently, Lethbridge, Alta., and Whitehorse, Yukon, are the only communities in Canada that have trans crosswalks.

“Everything in their tool box needs to be implemented to bring ICBC back into line but bad drivers need to carry the brunt of their bad behaviour, and expensive cars need to be insured accordingly.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION
Dumping junk isn’t free – there’s a cost to all of us A
group of Good Samaritans spent a rainy Saturday cleaning up other people’s junk along the Coquitlam River. They collected bags and bins worth of construction waste along with couches, TVs and dozens of hypodermic needles as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-up, giving up their leisure time to spruce up the banks of the river that is home to numerous animals, fish and birds. The sad news, according to organizers, is that they only managed to pick up about a NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-630-3300 n
quarter of the junk that was thrown into the bushes along the river because the rest of it was unaccessible. It seems to be a strange irony of the times that while most people want to protect the environment, many will dump their junk off the back of truck when no one is looking just to save a buck at the transfer station. Recently, Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who is also the chair of the Metro Vancouver board, said he was “astonished” to find out that 60% of residents surveyed have either dumped household
TC
items illegally or would do it in the future, with inconvenience being a deciding factor. Another 40% told surveyors this past spring that they thought it was OK to dump items in public spaces, believing it was just another form of recycling. Really, people, it’s not that expensive to drop off items at the Coquitlam transfer station, and there are non-profits that will take your couch. As well, there are scheduled days for large item pick-ups in Coquitlam. If you’re having trouble fig-
uring out what to do with your stuff, visit wasteinitsplace.ca. Whatever you do, don’t leave your unwanted goods lying around to cause trouble for wildlife, walkers and children in your local parks. Your callous disregard for the region’s natural spaces costs us all because it means someone has to go in to clean it up while taxpayers have to pay to dump it safely. You may think you are getting away with something when you dump your junk at the side of the road but you’ll pay eventually.
A graphic from Metro Vancouver asks Lower Mainland residents not to dump their junk but to dispose of it correctly.

Do something about the Crank up fines excessive SkyTrain noise for distracted drivers in B.C.
The Editor Re. “Noise in Evergreen tunnel tough on ears” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 1). I live in Suter Brook and our home faces southwest. Several months ago, there was a vehicle on the rails of the SkyTrain line going back and forth for several hours around 3 a.m. I was told the vehicle was scraping the rails. Ever since that happened, the decibel level of the SkyTrain as it goes past has increased. I have talked to numerous people in the building who have all noticed an increase in the noise. The current noise level is unacceptable. The city and TransLink should do something about it. David Stone, Port Moody

The Editor, Re. “Signal turns, please” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 1). I completely agree with the letter by S. Kubig about drivers who do not use turn signals. My wife and I count almost daily nine out 10 drivers who just do not use their turn signals. Not only is it bad driving but it is extremely unsafe for drivers who try to be the best they can. We see distracted driving every day — drivers who are busy texting or talking on their phones, unaware of what’s happening on the road. Another distracted driving habit many drivers display is having their dogs sitting on their lap while driving and these dogs poking their faces out from driver’s window. How stupid can drivers get?
The B.C. government is responsible for the countless accidents that take place due to the inconsiderate and stupid drivers. The penalty for distracted driving should be in my opinion as follows: • first offence, a fine of $1,000 and confiscate their device for one month; • second offence, a fine of $2,000 and confiscate their device — period; • and third offence, confiscate their vehicle and/or one month in jail. This may seem drastic but this is the only way to send a message loud and clear to the shameless, inconsiderate morons. ICBC will increase premium rates and all good drivers will have to pay for these drivers, who will continue to do what they know best. N. Dastur, Port Moody

TRI-CITY HERITAGE
Future of Ma Murray homestead uncertain Big plans for old house in Anmore turned down DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
The 100-year-old Ma Murray homestead in Anmore will likely have to be torn down to make way for a new village civic centre after plans to restore the home of B.C. pioneer Margaret “Ma” Murray fell apart due to differences of opinion on the scope of the project and lack of funding. Just days before last Sunday’s Ma Murray Days in Anmore, a group calling itself the Anmore Heritage Society announced it would disband after council nixed a plan for renovating the hall and a north wing for a museum and community space. Group spokesperson Joerge Dyrkton said a smaller project proposed by the village to turn the building into an entryway into the new civic centre rather than a stand-alone facility wouldn’t have met requirements for a Heritage Canada grant and plans couldn’t have been adjusted in time for the Sept. 30 deadline. “We’re a little bit burned
out,” Dyrkton said, explaining that the group had wanted a two-storey building with room for community space as well as a museum honouring the newspapering Murray family. The group had hoped to get Canada 150 funding but that’s not going to happen now, Dyrkton said. The project was even scaled back to include just the old home and north wing but still couldn’t win council’s support. Anmore Mayor John McEwen said the group’s proposal was too large in scope and the village wouldn’t have had the resources to operate it, especially after the federal grant required sponsorship. “They wanted real money,” he said, not just work in kind. “The hope that we have now is that we could save a lot of the historical components of it and rebuild it in a new structure and replicate the same structure and have the same feel as you walk through a civic centre.” Some of the heritage fixtures could be saved, he told The TriCity News, such as the original floor. “You’d get a great feel of the old building in the new village centre — that’s the vision of council at this point,” McEwen said.

Council’s decision doesn’t sit well with Dyrkton, who said he thinks it means heritage isn’t respected in the village. “There’s nothing left of heritage value. We lose a sense of identity. We lose a sense of space, we lose a sense of Ma Murray and the newspapering Murrays.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

REAL ESTATE
Housing market has cooled off in Tri-City GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News
New data from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver suggests that last year’s red-hot housing market has cooled significantly in the Tri-Cities. The numbers show that total transactions in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody have dropped 22.9% so far this year compared to the same time period in 2016, with detached properties being particularly hard hit. Single-family home transaction figures fell 34.9% in Coquitlam, 24.2% in Port Coquitlam and 42.5% in Port Moody. “Detached homes have entered a balanced market,” said Jill Oudil, the president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. “This means there’s less upward pressure on prices and that buyers have more selection to choose from and more time to make their decisions.” Price increases for singlefamily properties have stayed relatively flat this year compared to the same time period in 2016. The median price for a detached property in Coquitlam has risen 1% to $1,262,750
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Sales of homes are way down in the Tri-Cities so far this year compared to the same period last year. while Port Moody’s rose 1.9% to $1,326,000 and Port Coquitlam’s — the largest jump — increased 7.2% to $935,000. The story has been somewhat different in the attached and apartment categories, according to Oudil. “First-time home buyers have led a surge this summer in demand in our condominium and townhome markets,” she said. “Homes priced between $350,000 and $750,000 have been subject to intense competition and multiple offers across the region.” Still, the transaction numbers in the Tri-Cities are lower this year than in 2016. The number of apartments that have changed hands in the three municipalities has fallen
15.4% compared to last year while sales of attached properties have fallen 17.3%. But prices for multi-family housing units have increases at a higher rate. According to the data, the median price for a townhouse has jumped 7.5% to $735,250 in Coquitlam, 10.1% to $606,000 in PoCo and 7% to $641,500 in PoMo. Condos have seen even larger increases. In PoCo the median price for a condominium increased 21.9% over the last year to $365,000 while Coquitlam saw a similar (21.6%) increase to $475,000. PoMo’s numbers increased 14.5% to $526,500. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

COPS & CRIME
More charges for Carlisle in HIV case Police are also seeking witnesses and other victims GARY MCKENNA
The Tri-CiTy News
An Abbotsford man accused of failing to disclose his HIV-positive status before having unprotected sexual intercourse with women across Metro Vancouver — including Coquitlam — is facing nine new charges. Brian Carlisle, 47, was charged with three counts of aggravated sexual assault last month when police took the unusual step of warning the public about his health status. Since then, new complainants have come forward and nine new charges have been laid. “Police are concerned that there are still potential victims out there who are not yet aware of the potential change in their medical status… and are encouraged to visit their family physician or primary care provider to receive the appropriate testing,” Mission RCMP Sgt. Jeff Scott said in a press release. Investigators believe that
BRIAN CARLISLE offences may have occurred in Mission, Abbotsford, Coquitlam and Burnaby but Carlisle has been known to reside throughout the Lower Mainland. Mounties said he may have also lived in Ontario, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Vermont. He is described as Caucasian, 220 lb. and 6’2” with blue eyes and short brown hair. It is highly unusual for investigators to release details about a suspect’s medical history but police said it was necessary for to protect public safety. “Normally, the RCMP would not disclose the medical status of a person charged with a criminal offence,” Mounties
said in a press release. “However, in this case after careful consideration, the public interest clearly outweighs the invasion of Mr. Carlisle’s privacy.” Carlisle, who is known in the Fraser Valley as a marijuana activist, had an online presence on numerous social media and dating sites. In 2001, he received 451 votes running for the BC Marijuana Party and in 2002 he opened the Holy Smoke Healing Centre in downtown Chilliwack to educate people about marijuana laws. He unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Chilliwack in 2002 and in a council byelection in 2003. On several occasions, he told media that he used marijuana to relieve debilitating conditions, including being HIV-positive.

What would be your budget decisions? Coquitlam residents can weigh in on how they think the city should be spending taxpayer dollars. The citizen budget tool is currently posted on the city website (www.coquitlam.ca/ budget) and will be live until the end of the month. The survey gives residents the chance to design their own mock budget. City council and staff will use the input as they deliberate the upcoming financial plan.
SPEAK Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. Users can assign funding levels to various city services, like garbage collection and
recreation, and see the impact their budget decisions have on the tax bill. In a press release, the city said the tool has been used since 2014 and has helped the finance department gain insights into the services and programs the citizens value most and least. Input can be given online between now and the end of the month. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

CHAMBER EVENT
Mayors talk Evergreen effects and more at BBQ Biz growth and federal tax hikes among the topics JANIS CLEUGH
The Tri-CiTy News
Four Tri-City mayors were put on the hot seat last Thursday at the annual TriCities Chamber of Commerce Mayors BBQ. Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart, Port Moody’s Mike Clay, Port Coquitlam’s Greg Moore and John McEwen of Anmore faced about 100 people at the Inlet Theatre — including a few running for a PoMo city council seat in the Sept. 30 byelection — to field queries from attendees, who, instead of standing before a microphone, used mobile devices to type their questions, which then appeared on a large screen behind the mayors. Moderated by Tri-City News reporter Diane Strandberg and sponsored in part by the paper, the 45-minute session included such topics as regional business growth, a new federal tax hike for small business, and the challenges and benefits of the Evergreen Extension. McEwen spoke of how the Ioco lands proposal will shape his community and add a much-needed commercial component to the village. Stewart talked about
the pressure to supply affordable housing. Clay said PoMo is seeking “innovative high tech” employers while Moore, Metro Vancouver’s board chair, announced a new Regional Prosperity Initiative that will launch on Friday. Clay got frank about growth in his city around the new $1.3-billion rapid transit line that opened last December. Moody Centre, he said, has the second fewest riders of any station because of lack of density around it. And he compared Moody Station with Burquitlam Station, where Coquitlam is revamping the neighbourhood. “We need to be willing to step up and accept this benefit in our community,” Clay said of the mega-infrastructure project. Meanwhile, McEwen also said Anmore has seen a spike in visitors to Buntzen Lake because of Evergreen, with guests catching SkyTrain, then hopping on a bus to spend the day at the BC Hydro reservoir. Although amalgamation of the cities wasn’t raised, as it has been at past such events, Moore noted Tri-City mayors continue to work together at the Metro level to deliver sewer and water services throughout the region, of which one focus is the $550-million upgrade to the wastewater treatment plant on Annacis Island.

you’ve lost your vision. Now what? Find out sunday at info exchange ‘You just have to get over yourself,’ says Pat Roy DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
P
at Roy has never had keen eyesight but in recent years, her vision has deteriorated to the point that she needs assistive technology to do many tasks most people take for granted. But while some people might complain about the inconvenience, Roy simply shrugs, saying, “There are people who are worse off.” At 61, Roy is retired from her job as a medical office assistant because her eyesight was worsening. Her mother had Stickler syndrome, a genetic disorder that can cause serious vision loss, as do other members of her family, so she didn’t waste any time making changes necessary to continue her active lifestyle. It wasn’t easy. It took time to do the research and trial an error to find out what would work for her. But now the president of the Dogwood Branch of the Canadian Council of the Blind can say her life is on track and she’s not missing out. “You just have to get over yourself,” she told The Tri-City
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Above: Pat Roy, president of the Dogwood Chapter of the Canadian Council of the Blind, has not let vision loss get in the way of her daily life. She uses a magnifying camera to put on makeup and special measuring cups (top right) for cooking. Her group is holding a Vision Loss Information Exchange event Sept. 17 in Coquitlam. Right: Steve Barclay of Canadian Assistive Technology demonstrates technology that helps people with vision loss to read. News. “You have to come to terms with it.” Her kitchen is an example of orderliness and calm. There’s an iPad on the counter with
recipes in large type — and an app that can read out recipes — spice racks with easy-to-read labels, and the dishwasher speaks to tell Roy
what button to push thanks to an audio labeller called PenFriend. see LOW- AND, next page

There are also low-tech aids, such as teaspoons and measuring cups that are colour coded and have raised numbers or large lettering. In her sewing room, Roy uses a closed-circuit camera that projects an image on to a TV to magnify her face, enabling her to put on her makeup, help her with needlework or other projects. Roy can still walk briskly around her Coquitlam home, in part because she has lived there for more than 30 years but also because she still has vision in the lower half of one eye.
“I am reluctant to use a cane,” she says, “there is a stigma.” One of the first things Roy did when she retired was join the Dogwood Branch of the Canadian Council of the Blind, where she met other people with vision impairment who helped her with practical advice and supports. Most in the group are older and are experiencing macular degeneration. “I am the baby,” she jokes of her Dogwood pals. Inspired by the late Pearl Sawyer, the Dogwood group is hosting a Vision Loss Information Exchange on Sunday and Roy hopes it will attract a wide variety of people,
VISION LOSS INFO AT SUNDAY EXCHANGE

Item 1
Text Amendment to Revise the Recreational and Commercial Vehicle Parking Regulations in Residential Zones
The intent of Bylaw 4741, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 in order to revise the regulations pertaining to recreational and commercial vehicle parking in residential zones. If approved, the text amendment would facilitate the following revisions: •
Add a definition for Contractor’s Equipment to the Zoning Bylaw;
•
Remove the 4,500 kilogram gross vehicle weight limit for recreational vehicles and passenger vehicles parked on any lot;
•
Place the following restrictions on the parking and storing of recreational and commercial vehicles on lots zoned RS-1, RS-2, RS-3, RS-4, RS-5, RS-6, RS-7, RS-8, RS-9, RS-10, RS-11, RTM-1, RT-1, RT-2, RT-3, RM-1 and RMH-1: - Limit a property to two of any combination of recreational vehicles or boat trailers in residential zones unless completely enclosed within a building or underground in a lot zoned RM-1; - Restrict the height of recreational and commercial vehicles parked in residential zones unless completely enclosed within a building or underground in a lot zoned RM-1; - Require visual screening of recreational vehicles or boat trailers parked or stored within an interior or exterior side yard of residential zones; - Permit recreational and commercial vehicles longer than the existing 7.6 metre limit for residentially zoned properties with longer driveways or parking pads, or underground in a lot zoned RM-1; - Restrict the ownership of recreational and commercial vehicles parked in residential zones to an owner or occupant of the property; and
•
Implement several housekeeping amendments to improve the overall clarity and administration of the Bylaw.
Item 2
Addresses: 804 and 810 MacIntosh Street and 811 Kelvin Street
The intent of Bylaw 4785, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject properties at 811 Kelvin Street, 810 MacIntosh Street and a portion of 804 MacIntosh Street, as outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4785, 2017 from RS-1 One-Family Residential to RS-3 One-Family Residential.

The RS-3 zone would facilitate the construction of a single-family dwelling, with the potential for a secondary suite, on each of the resulting six lots. The application would not change the present RS-1 zoning of the remaining portion of 804 MacIntosh and the existing dwelling located on that property would be retained.
Item 3
Addresses: 218 Blue Mountain Street and 837 Lougheed Highway
The intent of Bylaw 4789, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject property located at 218 Blue Mountain Street outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4789, 2017 from C-2 General Commercial to C-5 Community Commercial.

The intent of Bylaw 4736, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Citywide Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3479, 2001 to revise the land use designation of the fifteen subject properties located at 1435, 1445 and 1455 Argyle Street and 3475, 3485, 3490, 3495, 3500, 3501, 3505, 3510, 3515, 3520, 3525 and 3530 Highland Drive and outlined in black on the map marked Schedule “A” to Bylaw No. 4736, 2017 from Large Village Single-Family, Large Single-Family, Estate Single-Family, Environmentally Sensitive Area and Neighbourhood Parks and Natural Open Spaces to Small Village Single-Family, Large Village Single-Family, Large Single-Family and Environmentally Sensitive Area.

If approved, the RS-7 and RS-8 zones would facilitate the subdivision of the nine subject properties proposed to be rezoned into a development comprising 65 single-family lots. The P-5 zone would facilitate the protection of adjacent environmentally sensitive areas to West and East Smiling Creeks. The remaining six properties, which are proposed to only undergo the OCP amendment, will have the potential for a future subdivision consisting of smaller single-family lots and the protection of adjacent environmentally sensitive areas.

n Watch those windows. Although riding YOGURT with their heads out of the car window is a quintessential image of dogs in car, such situations put dogs in danger. Fast-blowing debris or litter can injure the dog, and heavy airflow can damage the animal’s respiratory system, warn veterinarians. Dogs also may attempt to jump out. n Show restraint. Vehicle restraint systems keep pets safe. Small dogs may benefit from being inside crates that are secured to the vehicle. Harnessing a pooch is another option, and many harnesses connect directly to seat belts. Dog gates and guards can be installed between the back seat and the storage bay area, which is great when traveling with multiple dogs.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety notes that simply taking one’s eyes off the road for two seconds doubles the chances of being involved in a crash. Although the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does not track how many accidents are attributed to pets, it’s easy to see how pets can be a distraction on the road. Drivers should never allow their pets to sit on their laps or ride in vehicles unless they are restrained. Doing so puts all passengers, pets and humans alike, in danger. AAA says a 10 lb. dog that’s not restrained can generate 500 lb. of force in a 30 km/h crash. Pet owners can heed these safety guidelines to make trips with their pets less dangerous.

Coming to a screen near you... books! A GOOD READ AUSTIN MATHESON
A
s many readers will tell you, although TV and film adaptations of books can be good, nothing compares to the originals. If you’re the type of reader who likes to be ahead of the trends, here are six books you can expect to be Netflix series by the end of 2018. Read up and know the story before your friends. • Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood: Inspired by the 1843 murders of Thomas Kinnear and his housekeeper Nancy Montgomery in northern Canada, this piece of historical fiction follows the story of Grace Marks, a seemingly mild-mannered servant who was convicted of the crime. Atwood’s fantastic writing transports the reader back in time and into the mind of this enigmatic woman. Alias Grace is the second of Atwood’s novels to be made into a TV series this year after The Handmaid’s Tale, and debuts on CBC later this month, airing on Netflix in November. • Mindhunter by John E. Douglas: Author and former FBI special agent John Douglas recounts 25 years of true crime stories. Expect to dive headfirst into the minds of some of America’s worst criminals and the people who attempt to catch them, as Douglas recalls crime scenes and profiles from his most gruesome and difficult cases. A dramatic series inspired by the book, created by David Fincher and Charlize Theron, is set to debut on Netflix in October. • The Nix by Nathan Hill: Samuel Andresen-Anderson is a university professor and writer searching for his estranged mother after she is caught throwing rocks at a presidential candidate. Although he sees her as a quiet, unassuming small-town housewife, the media paints her as a militant radical with a seedy past. In exploring their
FOR CANCER RESEARCH
story, Hill’s time-spanning novel offers insight on contemporary topics in society, from the role of the press to video game addiction. Hill’s debut novel is already being made into a Netflix series and is being worked on by some of Hollywood’s biggest names (including Meryl Streep and J.J. Abrams). Expect to hear a lot more about Hill in the future. • The Last Wish: Introducing the Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski: This collection of compelling short fantasy stories introduces Geralt of Rivia and the other characters, locations and horrifying monsters that make up the Witcher universe. Drawing inspiration from Slavic folklore and classic fairytales (albeit with dark twists), these stories follow Geralt as he tries to make sense of an ever-changing, magical world where good and evil are not always what they seem. Sapkowski’s novels are already hugely popular in Poland and eastern Europe. With the help of the popular video game series and an upcoming 2018 Netflix series, The Witcher is continuing to rise in popularity in North America. • Hilda and the Troll by Luke Pearson: Hilda is an adventurous young girl who lives in an isolated cabin with her mother and a “deerfox” named Twig. In the first book of the fantastical graphic novel series, she
encounters a mountain troll, gets lost in a snowstorm and narrowly avoids getting stepped on by a giant, all before coming home for dinner. Pearson creates stories and imagery based on Icelandic and Norwegian folktales to great effect, and couples them with beautiful, colourful art. Although written for a younger audience, the book’s art and heartwarming story will delight any reader who enjoys comics and graphic novels. Expect the signature art style to continue in next year’s Netflix original series. • Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney: Finally, a book for the youngest readers in our lives, the first in Dewdney’s line of beloved children books tells the story of a Baby Llama who just can’t fall asleep without some help from his Mama Llama. With charming rhymes like these and a great message, this story begs to be read aloud to a loved one before bed. Like the book, the children’s TV series debuting in 2018 will see Baby Llama learn, grow, and have fun, all with help from his mama, voiced by Jennifer Garner. For great reads — and shows, too — check out your local library. While you’re there, why not sign up for a fall program? There’s one for every age and interest. A Good Read is a column by TriCity librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Austin Matheson works at PoCo’s Terry Fox Library.

fter a long period of heat, drought and water restrictions, many folks are not very proud of how their lawns look… OK, there’s brown and then there’s very brown. Hopefully, fall rains will come soon to help bring back the green. Ironically, many weed varieties, particularly clover, plantain and crabgrass, seem to thrive in drought conditions and they are giving our lawns quite a weedy appearance. see WEEDS, MOSS, next page

Moss is still doing well in shady areas, in spite of the recent heat. So, there’s some work to do. Lawns are ground covers that not only add to the appearance and value of our homes but they are also environmentally important, sequestering carbon, providing oxygen and helping control pollution. When they look bad, our entire landscape looks bad. Once the cooler weather arrives, let’s take advantage of it and get our lawns into shape. First, the weeds. They compete with our existing grasses for water and food, they look unsightly and they spread like wildfire. Most of them are annuals, so consistent weekly mowing with the blades set as low as possible is the first line of defence. If you make a point of mowing in opposite directions each week, this will also help prevent thatch. Maintaining good cultural practices for your lawn grasses is the next best way to keep out weeds. That means building a good soil base through aeration and proper watering and feeding. Most weeds, with the exception of velvet grass, couch grass, clover and horsetails, can be controlled by simply digging them out as they appear or spot treating them with environmentally-friendly ‘EcoSense Weed B Gon’. Over-seeding is another great way to help choke out weeds and now is the best time of the year to do just that. If you take a little time to keep tabs on your weeds, you will be amazed just how easy it is to control them. Cooler night temperatures and morning dew really help the seeds germinate and take hold. Use a mix of seeds that has perennial rye grasses, preferably the new award-winning ‘stoloniferous’ blend called ‘Natural Knit’ at the rate of 5 lb. per 1000 square feet. ‘Natural Knit’ is now more widely available in many garden stores. Amazingly, it is actually aggressive against weeds. Even though these grasses are fast germinators (about 7-10 days at this time of year), they still need daily watering until the seed has become rooted. You will be delighted by the difference these grasses will make to the appearance of your lawn. Many folks are also adding 10 to 20% micro-clover or white Dutch clover to lawn seed mixes to enhance the thickness of their lawns and to make them more self-sustaining and more beneficial to pollinators. For long-term success with your lawn, you really must aerate which means removing plugs of soil, either by hand or machine, to improve drainage. Those of you who have sandy soil are not off the hook here either. Winter and spring rains beat down on the soil surface, making it hard and subsequently difficult for roots to breathe and penetrate deeper into the soil. Aeration should be followed by applying a ¼ inch layer of coarse or washed sand on the lawn area. The sand will work its way into those aeration holes to keep them open, thus improving the drainage. Finally, the fertilizer. Should you fertilize at this time of the year with fall so near? The answer is absolutely yes. Lawn grasses need nitrogen to stay green and grow well. Avoid so-called ‘winterizing’ fertilizers because they contain the wrong fertilizer formulation for the West Coast. Slow-release nitrogen fertilizers are the best because they maintain the green without creating a lot of excess growth which you, of course, get to mow. The Environmental Protection Agency in the US also endorses slow-release nitrogen because the nitrates stay in the turf. When the weather gets cooler, the rate of growth slows down. The nitrogen is stored in the grass cells which will keep your lawn green over winter and allow it to bounce back more quickly next spring. Something like a slow-release 30-0-10 formulation is great. There are a few really fine lawns out there but most do need some work to get them into shape for the fall and winter months. Once you have done these steps, apply some Dolopril lime (at a rate of 10 kg per 200 sq. m) to keep the pH level up over the winter and further discourage moss. A little effort now will pay big dividends for many years to come.

A tip for fall
Remove leaves as they fall. Much like applepicking and foliage, raking leaves is synonymous with fall. Some homeowners may wait to pick up a rake until all of the trees on their properties are bare. However, allowing fallen leaves to sit on the ground for extended periods of time can have an adverse effect on grass. Leaves left to sit on the lawn may ultimately suffocate the grass by forming an impenetrable wall that deprives the lawn of sunlight and oxygen. The result is dead grass and possibly even fungal disease. Leaves may not need to be raked every day, but homeowners should periodically rake and remove leaves from their grass, even if there are plenty left to fall still hanging on the trees.

PEST CONTROL
VETERINARIAN
INSOLVENCY TRUSTEE
ASK A TRUSTEE
Ask a Pest Control Professional Q. Are there any green pesticides to kill bugs?
Should I really be vaccinating my dog yearly?
A: Loaded buzz words like “green” or even “organic” sound fantastic
for marketing and branding of a product reinforcing a trend, wowing us into thinking green is less toxic, less harmful...? In a domestic setting, Diatomaceous Earth (silicon dioxide, SiO2) and Pyrethrin based products seem most popular. Both are naturally derived therefore perceived as “green” and “safe” for people and pets. We cannot stress this enough: Read and follow the label!! Research how the product of your choice works! SiO2 kills insects by SCRATCHING their outer surface, thereby disrupting the waxy layer on their exoskeleton. Even a light application of dust per label direction becomes airborne and can aggravate eyes, throat, and lungs, exacerbate asthma and contaminate non-targeted areas thereby killing non-target species like pollinators. Key to success is having the right tools and knowledge for your situation. What may be advertised as “green” may not be a good fit for you. Alternate control methods may include baiting, trapping, some essential oil mixes, sanitation in and around your house and if needed responsible chemical application. If you are not sure ask a Pro!

DENTAL PROFESSIONALS Q. When should I take my child to his/her first dental visit? A. The Canadian Dental Association recommends that your dentist sees your child by 12 months of age or within 6 months of eruption of the first tooth. The purpose of your child’s visit is to detect any problems early or even before they occur. Even though baby teeth fall out as your child grows, they have important functions in eating and speaking, and hold the space in your child’s jaw for the proper eruption of their adult teeth. Some baby teeth are present in your child’s mouth till age 12, so if there are cavities, they may need to be restored with fillings. Untreated decay can cause infections in your child’s mouth and harm to the successive adult teeth. Finally, follow-up dental exams every 6 months are recommended for your dentist to check and monitor the development of your child’s teeth.
Not necessarily!! In the past the only way to know if a dog had immunity toward diseases that we vaccinate against was to run an antibody titer for each disease through the lab. This process was very costly to the owner and in lieu of these costs Veterinarians and vaccine companies suggested to err on the side of caution and vaccinate yearly. DR. NENAD KARLI, DVM & ASSOC.
To decrease the burden of over vaccination many Veterinarians including Oxford Animal Hospital adopted a yearly rotating vaccine protocol. However, recently, a cost effective in-hospital antibody titer test was created which tests for antibodies of Parvovirus, Hepatitis and Distemper, three of the most common and debilitating diseases currently affecting our dog population. This test confirms the level of antibody presence to ensure that your dog has adequate protection against these potentially fatal diseases and eliminates the need to unnecessarily vaccinate. However, multiple factors are involved in immunity build-up so cannot assume that your dog has long-term immunity because of the regular yearly vaccinations. Immunity depends on the type of vaccine used and the animal as an individual. Vaccination effectiveness may vary from less than a year to a few years. Regular yearly exams, vaccinations and antibody testing can help to prevent certain diseases, decrease vaccine burden and assist Veterinarians in catching diseases early before serious problems arise, thus helping to prolong our pets’ lives

1. How far behind are you? One month can be caught up, four months means the house is likely going to be foreclosed out, – but there are no certainties, and could be options for either situation. 2. Do you want to stay or have you decided you can’t afford to stay and need to let it go? If you are going to let the house go, consult with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee first to ensure you know how this works. 3. Is there equity and how much equity is there? A small amount of equity may not really be any, and a large amount could open up other options, such as a consumer proposal or refinancing, or both! A Licensed Insolvency Trustee can explain all the options. Call us. Its never too late.

MUSICAL THEATRE
Retired Coq. teacher plays Judy Garland in End of the Rainbow JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News
It was quite the surprise for Janet Gigliotti when she got the call. A retired SD43 teacher, Gigliotti had appeared in a number of musicals around Canada when director Claude Giroux asked if she would be interested in playing the formidable Judy Garland. Giroux read the script — a play with music by Peter Quilter — and immediately thought of Gigliotti for the starring role. “I didn’t plan it,” Gigliotti recalled, “but I was intrigued with his offer.” This spring, Gigliotti and fellow cast members started rehearsals for End of the Rainbow, a production that focuses on the Hollywood star in the months leading up to her death, in 1969 in London. In April, Ace Productions opened the Canadian version of the West End and Broadway hit at the Jericho Arts Centre and, on Saturday, it wraps up its run at the Deep Cove Shaw Theatre. Next week, it launches at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre before it heads east for shows in Fort McMurray, Spruce Grove, Cranbrook and Chilliwack. Gigliotti said audience reaction has been touching, noting an Aug. 30 benefit show in Deep Cove for QMUNITY — a non-profit group supporting queer, trans and Two-Spirited lives. Garland, she said, “was an icon in the gay community and they very much connected with her.” End of the Rainbow centres on Garland as she readies for her five-week run at The Talk of the Town in London, England (now called the Hippodrome). She has her young fiancé, Mickey Deans, by her side as well as her pianist and hopes to shake off some bad press with a stellar performance; however, her addictions and bad relationships continue to haunt her. Before she took on the role, Gigliotti said she studied

She also watched YouTube interviews of Garland including with The Tonight Show host Jack Parr. The research gave Gigliotti “an appreciation for who she was, her music and for the complicated life she had to live…. A lot of people can’t handle her downfall but I think it’s important for us to remember all of this. Some people today want to be famous but, for Judy, it wasn’t a good thing.” End of the Rainbow recounts how Garland was pop-

Her highs and lows began at the age of 13 when MGM told her she was too fat for the screen and demanded she take diet pills to shed pounds. And because the studio worked her so hard, Garland took sleeping pills then, later, spiralled into drugs and alcohol. “It was unavoidable. There was no other path for her. Her voice wasn’t the best toward the end but she could still sell a song. It was amazing,” Gigliotti said. But despite having worked in musical theatre for years (including earning a Jessie

HISTORY
Missing WWI story: SA soldiers JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News
It was during a read of a student history book that Steven Purewal decided enough was enough. The textbook talked about the heroic efforts in Europe by the Canadian militia during the Great War but failed to mention any component about its Allied partners from India. The Indian Army, after all, contributed more than one million troops to the overseas theatres — of which 75,000 men were killed between 1914 and ‘18. In fact, the commander-inchief of the Indian Army said the British wouldn’t have been able to win both the first and second world wars had it not been for the Indian campaign. But yet there was nothing about the South Asian military strength in the B.C. curriculum. Now, during the 100th anniversary remembrance of WWI, Purewal is trying to educate the public and, next week, will be speaking in Coquitlam about the war story missing from Eurocentric history books. Purewal, the curator and managing director of Indus Media Foundation Canada, will talk at the Coquitlam Public Library (City Centre branch, 1169 Pinetree Way) on Thursday, Sept. 21 — World

As a result, it rallied the countries in the Commonwealth to come to its aid: Canada sent over 424,000

Purewal cites the poem In Flanders Field, written by Canadian physician Lt.-Col. John McCrae in May 1915 during the Second Battle of Ypres in the Flanders region of Belgium. There, the 1st Canadian Division is credited for defeating the Germans on European soil — a first for a colonial force — but Purewal points out the Indian Army had been in Flanders for five months before the Canadians arrived.

“ Why do I hear but not understand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Terry Fox Ravens kick up their intensity in practice Monday as they prepare for their first home game of the season, Friday at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam, when they host Mt. Douglas. The Ravens are the defending AAA provincial champions but with 16 starters lost to graduation, head coach Martin McDonnell says they’ll be challenged to defend that title.
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Young Ravens in tough to repeat Losing players takes toll on defending AAA champions MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Terry Fox Ravens football team that walks onto the field at Percy Perry Stadium on Friday to open its BC High School Football season against Mount Douglas doesn’t look much like the side that won the Subway Bowl AAA provincial championship at BC Place last December. For one, 16 players have graduated from that team that won the school’s third provincial title in the past 10 years. For another, there’s just not
as many players pulling on the pads and helmets. That’s created a bit of a double-barrelled challenge for Ravens’ head coach Martin McDonnell. He’s looking to fill out his roster with some Grade 10’s and the leadership that normally comes from senior players will have to come from the Grade 11 players who got a taste with the varsity team last year. Like quarterback Jevaun Jacobsen, whose bloodlines make him a gifted athlete and natural leader. He’s the younger brother of former NFLer and CFLer Corey Mace. “He’s a heck of an athlete,” McDonnell said of Jacobsen, who will be getting the ball to another talented junior, Jaden Savery, a speedster in track and field in the spring and down-

field and out of the backfield as a receiver and running back in the fall. “They’re young, they’re both stepping up as leaders,” McDonnell said. Other key juniors McDonnell is looking to pick up the mantle of leadership include two-way lineman Michael Evans and Layth Begg, along with hulking 6’6”, 265-pound offensive tackle Matthew Hewa Baddege. Among returning seniors, defensive lineman Adam Tennent, linebacker Mason Reeves and tight end Eric Polan will impart that winning feeling. “They’ve seen it and they realize what it takes,” McDonnell said. But fulfilling that potential will be a challenge as many of the team’s 25 true varsity play-
ers will have to do double duty on defence and offence while McDonnell plugs holes with a half dozen or more young junior varsity players. That’s down from the halcyon days of a decade ago, when 45 players crowded the sidelines. “Our numbers are not what they should be,” McDonnell said. He thinks the growing concern about concussion injuries in football is scaring some kids and parents away. And some kids aren’t as keen to commit to the rigours of the football program, which comes with daily two-hour practices. “Kids are different today,” McDonnell said. “Kids aren’t as excited about what it takes to excel.” In an effort to spark interest, McDonnell has instituted a study hall program that
matches senior players with their younger teammates as they get free tutoring from volunteer teachers. He also took the team to the U.S. for some exhibition games and scrimmages to expose them to the excitement and atmosphere of “Friday Night Lights” football where the stands are packed with 2,000 fans and the sidelines jammed with 80 players who live and breathe the sport. The Ravens didn’t win a game, but that wasn’t the objective, McDonnell said. “It’s sort of a baptism of fire,” he said. “You hope the teams we’re going to play up here are going to be easier after that.” McDonnell and his youthful charges will find that out beginning Friday at 4 p.m. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC
The Coquitlam Express and Surrey Eagles played two overtime periods Sunday and still couldn’t decide a winner as the teams battled to a 2-2 tie. The Express, who didn’t win in their fivegame preseason schedule, got their first game that counts in the BCHL standings started on the right foot when Sam Kozlowski scored late in the first period. But a goal by Surrey’s John Wesley to tie it in the second, and another by him almost halfway through the third period put the Eagles in front. Coquitlam tied it with less than three minutes remaining on a goal by Christian Bosa. The Express had a golden opportunity to win the game when they had a power play late in the second overtime after the Eagles’ Jeffrey Stewart was given a penalty for roughing. But Coquitlam couldn’t beat goaltender Daniel Davidson, who was awarded the game’s second star.
PANTHERS WIN
Daniel Szpakowski’s goal with 5:13 left in the third period was the difference in the Port Moody Panthers’ 4-3 win over the Aldergrove Kodiaks in their Pacific Junior Hockey League game Saturday at Port Moody Arena. The goal also made Szpakowski the team’s all-time leading scorer. The win was the Panthers’ first of the season, against one loss. They play the Richmond Sockeyes at the Richmond Arena on Thursday.

Coquitlam players lead Clan to third win
ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO
Douglas Royals defender Sonali Dholliwar battles Quest University forward Katlyn Richardson for the ball in their Pacific Western Athletic Conference soccer match, Saturday at Coquitlam’s Town Centre. Freshman Limmayog-Danielson Caitlin scored in the 20th minute to give the Royals a 1-0 lead, but Quest was able to tie the match in the 40th minute. Neither team scored in the second half. The Royals followed that up with a 3-0 win Sunday over Vancouver Island University. Midfielder Sam Kell had two goals and Michelle Wessa scored the other while keeper Alexa Gazzola made five saves to earn the clean sheet.
The road to a national title for Simon Fraser University’s men’s soccer team seems to run right through the TriCities. Coquitlam’s Adam Jones scored in the 90th minute to give the unbeaten Clan a 2-1 win over Cal Poly Pomona Sunday at the 2017 Rimrock Classic tournament at Montana State Billings. It was the third win of the young NCAA season for Simon Fraser, whose national ranking improved to third. It was also a bit of revenge for the Clan, who were eliminated from the second round of the playoffs last year by Cal Poly. “It was a great win over a very good side,” said SFU coach Clint Schneider. “It feels good to get a little bit of revenge, but it’s a new season.” Jones scored his winner off a long ball from Jeff Cadman that he was able to volley past Cal Poly keeper Jason Trejos with less than minute left of full time. The goal was Jones’ second of the season. “It was a great finish by

Adam,” Schneider said. “He probably could have had a couple of easier ones earlier in the game, but he made an incredible play to strike that one home.” Jones’ winner came less than three minutes after Cal Poly tied the match. The Clan’s first goal of the match was scored by freshman Matteo Polisi, a Dr. Charles Best grad, who converted a curling cross from his brother Marcello in the 35th minute. The Clan will host Slippery Rock University at Terry Fox Field in Burnaby on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m.
FOOTBALL LOSS
Centennial grad Justin Buren scored on a spectacular 91-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter, but that was as good as it got for SFU’s football team,
who lost 35-7 to Texas A&M Kingsville, Saturday at Terry Fox Field in Burnaby. While the result was better than the 68-7 drubbing the Clan suffered to the Javelinas last season, SFU was never really in the game as they trailed 21-0 at halftime. Buren finished the game with three receptions for a total of 114 yards. Brad Lyons, a defensive lineman out of Terry Fox secondary school, had seven tackles and helped on another. The Clan will travel to Arcata, Ca. for a game against Humboldt State University on Saturday.
RUNNERS SWEEP
Coquitlam’s Addy Townsend finished second and Port Coquitlam’s Olivia Willett third to help the Clan women’s cross country team win their opening race at the Ash Creek Invitational in Monmouth, Ore. In fact, Clan runners swept the top five spots in the race, led by Julia Howley, who ran the 4.6km course in 16.24.6.

HOME SALES* 85 21
Attached Detached Despite Greater Vancouver as a whole finishing a strong month for real estate sales, the week leading up to the Labour Day weekend was relatively quiet for the Burnaby and Tri-Cities housing market. Sales during the week of August 28 to September 3 (registered as of September 12) slipped again in both attached and detached categories, to 85 and 21 units respectively. Exactly 50% of the region’s 106 sales went for over asking, which is slightly lower than in recent weeks and months. Just over 15% properties sold precisely on list price, and just below 35% were negotiated under asking. Breaking that down by home type, 55% of the 85 attached home sales went for above list price compared with just 29% of the 21 detached homes, or six properties. However, prices remain robust in the region, with the median sale price of a

detached hom at $1,340,000 – higher than the previous week – and $548K for an attached home. That breaks down as and $480K for a condo. Burnaby North saw the highest detached-home median sale price that week, at $1.49 million, whereas the least-expensive area for single-family homes was Port Coquitlam. Looking closer at Burnaby and Tri-Cities sales during that week, the median sale price per square foot (which trends lower in detached homes due to economies of scale) was $456.54 for a single-family home and $620.48 for an attached unit. The most expensive home sale of the week was a large single-family home in Burnaby’s Montecito neighbourhood. This 1978-built house still has its original, extremely dated décor – but it also has 3,824 square feet of living space, a large lot and great city views, and could make a beautiful home after renovation.

OBITUARIES
GNOME MATTER WHAT IT IS...
MEMORIAL DONATIONS
Fran was predeceased by her son Randy and her sisters Alberta and Donna. Fran was born in Wallace, NS to Arthur and Olive Fisher, the second of 4 children. She met Ross in 1940, and they were married on June 1, 1946. They lived in London, Ontario until moving to BC in 1972. While in London, Fran became a hairdresser, opened her own salon and taught hairdressing. She and Ross were avid square dancers. When they moved to Coquitlam, Fran started up a Gourmet Club and many friendships were formed there. They then moved to Port Coquitlam, and Fran was involved in a Bridge Club and Book Club. She loved to work on crafts and help out at Craft Fairs. In April 2017, Fran and Ross moved to Kimberley to be closer to family. A Celebration of Fran’s Life will be held at a later date. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Fran may do so to the Canadian Cancer Society, online at: http://www.cancer.ca/en/donate or by mail at: 565 - West 10th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 4J4. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service 250-426-3132
