Tri-City politicians wary of rules that could limit who could run for office

GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

With Premier John Horgan unveiling a bill this week banning corporate and union campaign contributions in

provincial elections, municipal officials are beginning to debate potential rule changes for city elections.

Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill said he expects the issue to be a significant topic

of conversation at next week’s Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver, even if a resolution is not put forward for a vote. see CAPPING DONATIONS, page 3

More teachers but space at a premium DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

School District 43 has hired 319 teachers since January to meet collective agreement requirements that were killed by the BC Liberals in 2002 and restored by the Supreme Court of

Canada last year.

The news of so many hires was greeted with jubilation by teachers and school trustees alike at Tuesday’s board of education meeting with one caveat: where to put everybody.

RAINBOW CROSSWALKS

‘This is about tolerance and acceptance’ Evergreen & biz team up for rainbow statement

A RAINBOW IN POCO

In Port Coquitlam, a rainbow project is already underway.

The city’s director of recreation, Lori Bowie, told The TriCity News that municipal staff were approached last year by a local church group to install a rainbow crosswalk. Council set aside $9,000 in its 2017/’18 budget to explore options.

“Over the next few months, staff will engage with community stakeholders to come up with project ideas, which will then be presented to council for a decision,” Bowie wrote in an email. “The city is also committed to ensuring that our arts/ culture programming reflects and is inclusive of the diversity in our community, including the LGBTQ community.”

Proposals can be emailed to PoCo’s manager of culture, Carrie Nimmo, at nimmoc@portcoquitlam.ca.

JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

Last week, a request for rainbow sidewalks received a mixed reaction at Coquitlam city hall.

This week, the nearby Evergreen Cultural Centre (ECC) gave a response of its own, installing the colours of the rainbow on large doors facing Guildford Way. On Wednesday, just before hundreds of people filed into city hall for its annual Welcome to Coquitlam gathering, ECC installed a rainbow covering on the glass door entrance to Studio D, a rental space used for teaching.

The public statement is timely. Not only is the venue hosting this week the show End of the Rainbow — a salute to Judy Garland, an icon in the LGBTQ community — but it’s also responding to the discussion by city council and the public about a proposal for a rainbow crosswalk.

That topic came up last week when Nicola Spurling, an LGBTQ advocate asked Coquitlam council to consider painting a rainbow crosswalk.

Since then, hundreds of

JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The team behind the rainbow-decorated doors at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam. comments have been posted — some against, some in favour — on The Tri-City News’

Facebook page.

The mixed reviews are in contrast to what’s happening in

Port Moody, where Amy Anne Lubik’s request for a rainbow crosswalk was approved last week by council, which hasn’t yet chosen a location.

Andrea Jabour, Evergreen’s marketing manager, stressed ECC’s rainbow window covering isn’t intended to put political pressure on Coquitlam city council, which is expected to revive its discussion at councilin-committee on Oct. 2 after a request on Monday by Coun.

Chris Wilson; rather, “It’s a positive message. This facility doesn’t represent one person or group. We are inclusive and diverse.”

Jabour said ECC staff didn’t consult with the city, which owns the building, or with its board before it placed the 20 vinyl stickers on the glass.

Jon-Paul Walden, Evergreen’s executive director, said the venue has done similar creative projects in the past, citing the rainbow steps in front of the art gallery that went in last year.

Walden, who is also a member of the city’s cultural services advisory committee, said he attended the Welcome to Coquitlam event on Wednesday and received “90% support” for the Evergreen rainbow window.

“We want to be active in the community because, as an arts centre, we are all about inclusiveness, expression and identity,” he said. “We want everybody to feel comfortable approaching our centre.”

The rainbow covering is a collaboration with two Coquitlam companies: Spin

Key Media, operated by Jeff and Coriana Burke, and Sandpiper Signs and Decals Inc., coowned by Carlo Zarrillo — the chair of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce board and husband of Coun. Bonita Zarrillo, who has said she’s in favour of a rainbow crosswalk. Both firms donated time and materials for the rainbow covering, worth about $800, Jabour said.

“I think we are sending a message about what we would like to see in our community,” Coriana Burke of Spin Key Media said. “This is just our way of contributing to something that we believe in.”

She added: “Who doesn’t like a rainbow? If you see a rainbow in the sky, do you get pissed off?

No, it’s pretty. It brightens your day. We are inspiring the community and we are reflecting it. This is about tolerance and acceptance.”

Evergreen is considering covering another window with the transgender colours of blue, white and pink.

As well, it’s challenging other Tri-City businesses to display rainbow colours “in whatever form that looks like to them to help us show how inclusive and full of colour the Tri-Cities are,” Jabour said, adding participating companies are encouraged to use the social media hashtag #showyourrainbow. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

ELECTION SPENDING

Capping donations problematic: Clay continued from front page

“I would imagine that if not formally, it will come up informally,” he said. “People will be talking about it. I will be talking about it.”

On banning union and corporate contributions in municipal elections, O’Neill has urged caution, saying what might work at higher levels of government could be problematic at the civic level. For example, without corporate donations, union-supported candidates would have an advantage because they have non-monetary benefits, like access to membership lists, that can be vital to getout-the-vote efforts, he said.

He said newcomers to the political process could be hurt by the changes because they would not be able to raise the money needed to mount a viable campaign from individual donors.

That could mean more parties and slates banning together at the civic level, O’Neill added.

“We have to have a level playing field,” he said.

O’Neill said he believes most donors give to candidates because they support the process, not because they expect favours or for council members to vote a certain way on their proposals.

Coquitlam Coun. Bonita Zarrillo disagrees with O’Neill’s assertions that contributors’

2015 CIVIC ELECTIONS: THE NUMBERS The 50 candidates who sought office in the Tri-Cities during the 2015 civic elections raised a total of $890,319, with council candidates bringing in $612,159 and mayoral candidates $278,160.

But how much money was raised and where the funds come from depend on the individual candidates and the municipality they are running in, according to financial disclosure forms released in 2016.

For example, in Coquitlam, corporations contributed $297,225, outpacing unions, which gave $58,570. The highest donor category in Port Moody was labour groups, giving $65,266, higher than the corporate total of $46,524. In Port Coquitlam, corporations led all donor categories with $58,570 while unions and associated groups donated $28,350.

According to the data, incumbents received more money than non-incumbent candidates.

Across the Tri-Cities, councillors running for re-election raised an average of $20,266, while those seeking office for the first time raised an average of $9,894 (mayoral candidates were removed from the average because they generally raise and spend more than councillors, which could skew the average).

The numbers also show that candidates who were elected in 2015 received the vast majority of corporate and union contributions.

The 23 out of 50 candidates (46%) who won office in the three municipalities received 79.7% ($189,471) of all corporate contributions and 63.6% ($78,784) of all union contributions.

In the individual contribution category, the candidates who were elected received 55.7% ($71,802) of all contributions and 44.9% ($80,333) of all self-funded contributions. motives are completely altruistic. “If you get something of significance, you will give back,” she said. “I am concerned about that.”

Zarrillo put forward a notice of motion at council last year

calling on the provincial government to ban corporate and union donations to civic politicians but it was defeated at the council table When Zarrillo first won a seat on council in a byelec-

tion in 2013, she said she used online crowdfunding to raise $4,000 of her eventual total of $26,000. In that campaign, she also relied on unions, which gave her $16,750, and corporations, which gave her $3,650.

Individuals donated $3,600 to her successful byelection campaign.

She said removing corporate and union donations from the political process would make raising money harder but it would engage more members of the community.

“It entices more people to get involved,” she said. “I think that is a very good idea.”

Not all Tri-City municipal politicians agree.

Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said there are big differences between donations at the civic level compared to the provincial and federal levels, mainly

that local contributions are not tax deductible.

“That is one huge difference,” he said in an email. “Also, there is far higher interest and engagement in the provincial elections, so they are able to attract more donations.”

He added that by receiving one $500 to $1,000 corporate or union contribution, a candidate can spend more time engaging with voters, which would be difficult if they were soliciting 20 to 40 $20 contributions.

Capping donations could also be problematic, Clay said.

For example, if a company previously donated $5,000 to a candidate, it may now choose to have each one of its owner’s family members donate $1,000 as individuals, he said.

A ban would also be an advantage for candidates with sufficient personal wealth that they

would not be bogged down with raising money, Clay said.

Regardless of what changes may come, Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore told The Tri-City News it is important the province consults with local governments before passing any new regulations.

“Most of us in local government do our own financing,” he said. “We have to make sure that the burden we place on the potential people who run for office isn’t so overwhelming that they don’t run.”

Moore added that he would be opposed to rules that are so strict that they deter people from running, noting that for some it may not be “worth the headaches.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC – additional reporting by Mario Bartel and Janis Warren

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

WE HAVE A WINNER!

Summer was busy for class renovations continued from front page

Thirty-eight classrooms were renovated over the summer at a cost of $1.2 million to accommodate additional classes created by the restored contract language. And the district anticipates needing as many as 14 additions for next September at a cost of $14.8 million or more.

“For September, we will need school additions,” Ivano Cecchini, SD43’s assistant secretary treasurer confirmed to trustees, as he described the work involved in getting schools ready to accommodate the changes.

The problem is the district doesn’t have the money to get started on those additions and will need the funds soon.

“It’s a short timeline,” secretary treasurer Chris Nicolls told The Tri-City News, adding that the district will continue to talk with education ministry officials about the need.

Adding to the uncertainty is enrolment fluctuations that saw roughly 100 students more than expected signing up to attend local schools.

Trustees agreed to start lobbying the ministry as well as local mayors and MLAs to let them know about the need.

Trustee Kerri Palmer Isaak said it’s good news to see so many more teachers in schools, pointing out that some of the new hires have included speech language pathologists and school psychologists.

“It’s been a great opportunity to grow not just our teachers but our support team,” Palmer Isaak said.

So far, the province appears to be willing to cover the costs of the new positions, agreeing to boost the funding level to $20.9 million from the original $16.9 million agreed to in March. That’s on top of $2.66 million received and spent on 71 teachers in the 2016/’17 school year to meet the collective agreement requirements.

In a report to the board, Nicolls stated that the Ministry of Education has committed to this amount, subject to the verification of actual classroom organization and costs to be submitted in October.

The hiring of substitute teachers to fill in for staff who are sick could be an issue when flu season hits, but for now, the district has a substantial list of potential TTOC, the board of education was told. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

BACK TO SCHOOL BY THE NUMBERS • Cost of restoring class size and composition estimated at $20.9 million for 2017/’18, funds to be confirmed after enrolment is finalized in October. That’s on top of $2.66 million received earlier in the year for 2016/’17.

• SD43 has hired 319 additional teachers since January to meet collective agreement requirements.

• Classroom renovations to date cost $1.2 million, paid for by the province.

• It’s estimated $14.8 million is needed for classroom additions for September 2018.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Retirement benefits cut to trim SD43 costs DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

School District 43 managers and support staff retiring after Dec. 31 of this year will not receive health and dental benefits when they leave their jobs but the money saved will put School District 43 on a better financial footing.

Tuesday, the board of education was told it has a roughly $13-million surplus and will be able to fully pay down a $23-million liability for employee future benefits, which had been sitting on the district’s books for years.

“We’re putting our employees on equal footing,” SD43 secretary treasurer Chris Nicolls later told The Tri-City News.

He explained that teachers don’t get their health care, dental and MSP paid when they retire while the change doesn’t affect retirees who are already getting these benefits.

By axing the post-retirement benefits for next year’s CUPE and management retirees, the district was able to release $27 million to cover the remaining $23 million on the books, leaving $4 million for the surplus.

It means soon-to-be retiring workers who were expecting to get health, MSP and dental benefits from the post retire-

TRUSTEE BARB HOBSON ment group benefit plan will lose them while the district socks money away to cover future sick leave, vacation and pension for staff.

Nicolls said the large pool of funds required for employee future benefits wouldn’t be needed unless the district quit operating — a situation not likely to happen. But the funds needed to be accrued anyway to meet generally accepted accounting principals.

In all, the district expects to have about $8.5 million in surplus funds, Nicolls said, while about $3.2 million of the $13 million in extra cash will go towards employee future benefits again this year if it’s required.

Still, it could be November before the surplus is doled out, once the district has a clearer

picture of its current needs.

Under policies approved by the board, about 40% is supposed to go towards one-time needs and the balance split over three years. But trustees say they might want to re-think that plan given the size of the surplus.

“This is a larger surplus then we’re used to having,” Coquitlam Trustee Barb Hobson said, noting that services for students are needed especially in the area of mental health. “How can we best utilize it?”

Board chair Kerri Palmer Isaak said there may be other uses for the funds. “The board is going to go back to the table,” said the Anmore/Belcarra trustee, although the administrators will get a first look and make recommendations.

In addition to the closing of the post-retirement group benefits that added $4.5 million to the surplus, international education contributed $4.8 million because of higher than expected enrolment (1,988 students compared to 1,750 the previous year), and $3.6 million was added because the district underspent its budget, largely because managers weren’t able to follow through on previously planned programs because they were working on implementing the restored collective agreement. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

20% of students at summer school 6,373 kids went to summer school this year in SD43 DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Close to 20% of School District 43 students spent at least part of their summer in school, according to figures released at a board meeting Tuesday.

A record number of enrolees — 6,373 students in all — filed through the doors at several schools in the district, including Kilmer elementary in Port Coquitlam, which added summer school this year.

Among the more popular courses was an introduction to coding and computational thinking, where students got up to 40 hours of learning about how to get computers to do tasks using programmable computers such as Spheros and Micro:bits.

The younger children also used traditional toys, such as playing cards, to learn computational thinking so they didn’t spend all their time in front of screens, Murray Peters, principal of SD43 sum-

mer learning told trustees.

The coding courses are so popular, Murray said, the plan is to increase the number of offerings next year.

INTERNATIONAL ED.

International students from as far away as China, Brazil and Korea spend an average of $80 per day on food and fun in the Tri-Cities while they take summer courses, adding up to a big economic benefit for the region.

That’s according to viceprincipal Jean Wong, who presented the highlights of the summer school program for international students.

In addition to money circulating in the community, the program generated $2 million of revenue for the school district.

EXPANDED ROLL

It may be hinterland to most folks but the Ministry of

Education wants it covered.

Tuesday, the SD43 board agreed to take over responsibility of an undesignated trustee electoral area in the forested mountains northeast of Indian Arm. Although it is unknown if people with school-aged children are living in the area, the ministry wants a trustee to represent the area to avoid possibly disenfranchising residents from voting in school board trustee elections.

In future, the areas will be represented by the trustee for electoral area 4, or the villages of Anmore and Belcarra.

Currently, that post is held by Trustee Kerri Palmer Isaak, who is also the board chair.

“I promise to represent them,” Palmer Isaak said, although she admitted she didn’t know if anybody lives in the area.

POLICE

Scooter driver sought after pedestrian dies Coquitlam RCMP are seeking information about a collision last Friday between a mobility scooter and an elderly woman that resulted in the woman’s death.

The pedestrian, who was 86, fell down after being bumped by the scooter and died of injuries sustained in the fall.

Police are seeking the identity of a man who was driving the scooter when the incident occurred at 10:20 a.m. on Sept. 15 at the corner of Austin Avenue and Westview Street in Coquitlam.

“At this point, this looks like

a tragic accident with no criminal intent,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. “But we still need to talk to the operator of the scooter to hear his side of the story.”

“We need to clarify there wasn’t anything nefarious, there wasn’t anything suspicious about what happened.

We need to hear why they did the actions that they did.”

It is believed the scooter was in the crosswalk at the southwest corner of the intersection. The scooter was last seen going south on Westview, McLaughlin said. Witnesses

describe the scooter operator as: a Caucasian man, 40 to 50 years old, with a full head of grey hair, an average build and possibly slurred speech. The electric mobility scooter he was riding is described as silver or grey with no basket on the front.

Anyone with information that could help identify the man is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency line at 604-945-1550, ask for the Investigative Support Team and quote file 2017-29546. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

FIRE SAFETY

Some fires still banned or cooking devices that use charcoal briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuels are still allowed.

Violating the ban can result in a $250 fine.

Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said in a press release the city’s ban on open air fires will reduce the risk of fires spreading to neighbouring forests and keep the air cleaner.

“The wood smoke that travels through the air contains pollutants that can penetrate

deep into the lungs,” Clay said in a city press release. “Those pollutants can cause a variety of negative health effects, such as heart disease and cancer, and they’re also dangerous for people with asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other respiratory problems.”

The new bylaw brings Port Moody in line with other municipalities around Metro Vancouver that have also banned open fires.

PORT MOODY HERITAGE

Tremaine restoration aims to bring Ioco’s past to life

Ioco history will be highlighted this weekend

MARIO BARTEL The Tri-CiTy News

In its heyday, Ioco was a bustling enclave of homes whose residents had their own grocery, church, school and community hall. Everything workers at the nearby Imperial Oil refinery and their families could need was right there.

At Sunday’s Ioco Ghost Town Days, heritage consultant Donald Luxton will give a talk and answer questions about the first step in breathing life back into the old company townsite, the restoration of the Tremaine residence. Renderings of the work planned for the gabled Craftsman bungalow that was built in 1921 will also be on display as part of the annual event.

Luxton, who has been involved with heritage conservation in Port Moody since 1997, said the preservation of the Tremaine house and the other 12 buildings still standing at the Ioco site presents a rare opportunity to tell a story of British Columbia’s industrial heritage that has been lost as resources depleted, companies moved on and townsites were abandoned. He said Ioco is the last such company townsite left

You can take a walk down memory lane this weekend during a series of events celebrating Port Moody’s history.

Organized by Port Moody Station Museum, the weekend activities at the Ioco townsite will celebrate the old days with ghost stories, a corn roast and hog dogs tomorrow (Saturday) followed by the annual Ghost Town Day Festival on Sunday.

“It’s about celebrating heritage,” said Markus Fahrner, museum co-ordinator, who said both events will take place rain or shine. He promised the ghost stories won’t be too scary for kids while adults may enjoy learning about the historic village that used to be a company town of Imperial Oil workers.

Sunday’s festival, running from noon to 4 p.m., will feature food, music by NewFish and musician Nigel Tucker, locally produced goods and pony rides as well as demonstrations by Joyce and her Dancing Border Collies.

Also on the agenda will be guided trolley tours that will take people through the streets of the Ioco townsite, with moderators providing information about the various houses and aspects of the property.

“You can get on the bus when you want to,” explained Fahrner, “It’s a great way to learn about the townsite.”

The corn roast with hot dogs takes place Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. at the former Ioco bowling green at Ioco Road and First Avenue, with registration requested by emailing info@ portmoodymuseum.org (a $3-per-person donation is requested). Ioco Ghost Town Day will run from noon to 4 p.m. on the following day. More information is available at www. portmoodymuseum.org.

• Also coming up is a special event on Sunday, Oct. 1 for Culture Days 2017, when the Port Moody Station Museum hosts the Venosta Radio Show at 3 p.m. at the Inlet Theatre.

Enjoy a free behind-the-scenes look at how a 1920s radio show was executed.

“Industry does move on, things change,” Luxton told The Tri-City News. “This is a town that was typical of how thousands and thousands of people lived across the province. This is a great story about our industrial past.”

With most of the old Ioco townsite and its buildings now owned by developer Brilliant Circle Group (BCG), which plans to redevelop the area, Luxton said the restoration of the Tremaine residence is an important signal of the company’s commitment to preserving

the interior is opened up and brought to modern standards.

The building will also be made more accessible.

When completed, the home will be used as an office for BCG and meeting space for the community. Beyond that, it could be further repurposed back into a private residence, artists’ studios or live-work space.

“It’s a very simple building,” Luxton said. “We want to be very careful we don’t take away any opportunities.

the site’s heritage.

“People have been waiting for years to see something positive happen with those buildings,” said Luxton, who’s acting as a heritage consultant on the BCG project.

The restoration work on the Tremaine house is expected to take about a year.

Luxton said most of the bungalow’s heritage value is in its exterior. The gabled front with shingled peaks, complex roofline, projecting rectangular front bay and a partial verandah with triple-squared columns will all be restored while

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Who should pay?

The new NDP provincial government could be forgiven for a somewhat messy attempt at fixing the so-called Wild West of political donations. There was so much rot left by the BC Liberals that any move was bound to create controversy.

Two issues have arisen. First, the $1,200-per-person contribution has been deemed too high and critics may have a point.

Quebec was forced to drop its per-person contributions limit to $100 a year because people were gaming the system.

Second, many don’t like the fact that taxpayers will have to foot the bill for the expenses of political parties for five years. While now contributions are subsidized by tax credits to donors, the new plan is to reimburse half of the election expenses and provide a subsidy that gets phased out in 2022. Too rich? Perhaps.

Maybe B.C. should adopt Quebec’s approach and eliminate the tax deduction instead, and use money saved to match party funds up to a specific amount while also further reducing expense limits.

It’s time B.C. became a leader in fair elections, not a cesspool where government business is done for the highest bidder.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS MONTH

Tri-Cities’ foundations contribute to community This column was jointly submitted by the Coquitlam Foundation, the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation and the Port Moody Foundation to mark Community Foundations Month in British Columbia...

A

merican psychologist William James said more than a century ago that humans “are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.”

It’s an apt concept to keep in mind as British Columbians mark Community Foundations Month in September — a time when the province’s 52 foundations are promoting community philanthropy and empowerment by attempting not only to tap into those intrinsic human connections but also to strengthen them.

This is certainly the theme being adopted by the three foundations in the Tri-Cities: the Port Moody Foundation (PMF), the Coquitlam Foundation (CF), and the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation (PCCF). While run by separate and independent boards that embrace unique mandates, the foundations are united in their commitment to make each of their cities a better place by connecting those who can help with those who need help.

PMF has also discovered that encouraging day-to-day connections between people can help improve a community. That’s why it ramped up its outreach efforts in 2016 by launching the Say “Hello” NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-630-3300 n

PoMo campaign, encouraging residents to connect in the streets.

The PoMo Foundation reasoned that, regardless of one’s mother tongue, everyone knows the word “hello,” so promoting the greeting was a good way to combat isolation and encourage inclusion.

PMF expanded the campaign in May with the introduction of a new cyber social infrastructure, called Smart Connections, which features Facebook groups dedicated to neighbourhoods, business networks and general-interest groups — including one for dog owners, which has proven to be its most popular page.

The bread-and-butter work of all three foundations is the management of funds and the distribution of grants and awards to organizations and individuals. For PCCF, this means connecting people and businesses with charities doing innovative work so the lives of everyone in the community can be enhanced.

PCCF takes an expansive and innovative approach to the way in which funds are granted, supporting a wide range of programs and projects, including those that may not be commonly supported by other philanthropic entities.

And in Coquitlam, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, CF has embraced a mission to encourage and support creative, targeted philanthropy that builds a vibrant, sustainable and healthy community. CF’s foundation-managed funds connect students and non-profit organizations with a means to improve themselves,

To learn more about how you can get involved, visit www. givewhereyoulivebc.ca, www.portmoodyfoundation.ca, www.coquitlamfoundation.com or www.pocofoundation.com. thereby building a stronger community.

CF also facilitates the establishment of donor-advised funds that allow caring citizens to make long-lasting connections between their personal philanthropic desires and those in need.

None of this would be possible without the volunteers who devote their time and energy to the foundations, and without the generous individuals and businesses whose financial contributions allow the foundations to connect those who can help with those who need help. They are certainly the “hearts in the heart of the community” that one Community Foundations Month slogan describes.

So what can the average citizen do to help? Most importantly, the foundations have an ongoing need for financial support. This is why the major theme of Community Foundations Month is “Give Where You Live.” So, please donate. And if you can’t do that, volunteer or attend a foundation event. After all, as the old adage goes, “charity begins at home.”

TRI-CITY CREEKS

ICBC

Keep paint out of our waterways The Editor, Last Saturday at approximately 6 p.m., I observed a contaminant that appeared to be paint in Noons Creek just around the foot bridge below Panorama Drive in Coquitlam.

I would like to thank city staff for acting quickly; the environmental team mobilized and put a boom in place.

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the majority of this contaminant had been washed downstream.

I am a volunteer at Mossom Creek Hatchery in Port Moody and find it ironic this would happen in September, when we celebrate Rivers Day. The majority of Noons Creek has been developed on both sides well up to the Eagle Mountain headwaters.

Development has put tremen-

dous stress on this creek. The hatchery suffers from very high water temperatures and low flue during the summer. The last thing the volunteers at Noons Creek need is someone to dump paint into a storm drain.

Please remember every storm drain empties into one of our creeks.

This illegal activity by a thoughtless, lazy individual is extremely disappointing.

Noons Creek in Port Moody has a very active hatchery, currently holding 10,000 coho salmon. Spawning season is coming soon and wild salmon will be returning. Please be aware of your actions.

And take your leftover paint to the Return-it centre in Port Coquitlam.

Kevin Ryan, President, Mossom Creek Hatchery

Pricey car owners should pay more The Editor, I totally agree with those who have suggested that owners of expensive cars should be paying much, much higher premiums and have very high deductibles.

Not only do these cars cost more, the repairs would also be substantially higher and the average person should not be subsidizing these drivers.

I think if these people had a higher level of self esteem, they

wouldn’t need to drive a status symbol. (Years ago, when I worked at a women’s prison in a social service position, I noticed that people with low self esteem tried to impress others by having expensive items and were even willing to do unlawful things to obtain them.)

In addition, bad drivers need to be charged very high rates or even have their drivers licences taken away.

L. Mackintosh, Coquitlam

RAINBOW CROSSWALKS

SPEND MONEY BETTER KEVIN RYAN PHOTO

The letter writer, who’s president of Mossom Creek Hatchery in Port Moody, snapped this photo of paint found in nearby Noons Creek.

The Editor, Re. “Lots of problems to solve before we paint crosswalks” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 15).

In regards to our Coquitlam city council members’ consideration of a proposal to paint a few select intersections rainbow colours: how ludicrous.

When I visited Philadelphia recently, there was a gay com-

munity we walked through and they were displaying a lot of rainbow flags and murals, which was great. The gay community is well established in Coquitlam and doesn’t need this appeasement by a small group of misguided politicians.

There is a multitude of places the money could be better utilized — pick one.

COQUITLAM

Maillardville tower granted third reading GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

The first residential highrise in Coquitlam’s Maillardville neighbourhood is one step closer to construction.

Monday evening, council voted in favour of third reading of the project, which would see a 21-storey, 147-unit tower with four ground-level commercial units, second-floor office space and residential space located at Blue Mountain Street and the Lougheed Highway.

Al Johnson, a senior associate with DA Architects and Planners, said the mixed-use project would have four levels of underground parking “catering to both pedestrians… and the fact that people are going to arrive in their cars.”

Three of the four people who spoke at a public hearing in council chambers opposed the project. Most cited concerns over parking and traffic while other residents said the new development would block their views. But it was not enough to deter councillors, who voted in favour of the project, which will consist of: • 32 micro units (350 to 400 sq. ft.); • 14 junior one-bedroom units (440 to 500 sq. ft.); • 44 regular one-bedroom units (500 to 595 sq. ft.); • 32 two-bedroom units (800 to 900 sq. ft);

• nine three-bedroom units (960 to 1,100 sq. ft); • and eight three-bedroom townhouse units (1,300 to 1,400 sq. ft.).

While all at the council table approved the project (Mayor Richard Stewart was absent), one councillor recused herself from voting.

Coun. Bonita Zarrillo has expressed concern about the company’s decision to begin advertising the sale of the residential units last year, well ahead of council approving the project, which still has to pass fourth reading next month.

Because she regularly drives through the area and saw the advertisements, Zarrillo said she was “unduly lobbied” by the company ahead of her vote.

“The signs had been up there over the year,” she said.

“I had mentioned that I would like them removed. I felt it was unintentional lobbying. It was affecting me.”

The Tri-City News first reported on the advertisements back in May 2016.

Jim McIntyre, the city’s general manager of planning and development, said at the time that marketing for housing projects generally begins after third reading of a rezoning application, noting the developer’s advertising campaign was “a little premature.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

“MORREY INFINITI SERVICE” INFINITI SERVICE” PoCo Legion to get tax “MORREY COME VISIT PARTS ANDAND SERVICE COME VISIT OUROUR ALL NEW PARTS SERVICE DISCOUNT....... break for next 10 years DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENTAND AND RECEIVE RECEIVE AADISCOUNT.......

JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam Legion will get a property tax break for the next decade.

On Tuesday, city council approved the branch receiving up to 10 years of permissive tax exemptions as long as it submits its financial documents to the city annually. This year’s tax relief amounts to $44,079, according to city documents.

Coun. Brad West, who put the 10-year motion forward at the city’s finance and intergovernmental (FIG) committee on Sept. 5, said when he looked at those organizations that get ongoing property tax breaks, the Legion was noticeably absent despite its “valuable contributions.”

Under section 224 of the province’s Community

Charter, ongoing permissive tax exemptions are granted to churches, hospitals, independent schools and non-profit groups with seniors’ homes built after 1947 but before 1974.

As a result, the Legion Branch 133 has had to apply for three-year exemptions from the city; recently, it applied for another three-year extension to ease its financial burden.

“They have done a lot of hard work to reduce costs and trim down,” Coun. Laura Dupont noted at Tuesday’s meeting before council unanimously gave three readings to the bylaw.

Coun. Darrell Penner said council has talked for many years about ongoing tax exemptions for the Legion. And the longtime councillor said the city is in a better financial position now to help the or-

ganization with its complex at 2675 Shaughnessy St. Mayor Greg Moore said FIG will review this fall possible tax relief for PoCo charities that have land and provide a service to the community.

Other PoCo news:

“MORREY INFINITI OF BURNABY”

LOT SPLIT

A Port Coquitlam lot with an older duplex may soon be split to make way for two new single-family homes.

Tuesday, council received a report from Coun. Mike Forrest, chair of the city’s smart growth committee, about a proposal for 3243 and 3245 Fox St. — off Westwood Street — to rezone and subdivide the land.

Mayor Greg Moore suggested council and staff further study the densifying area given its proximity to public transit. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

WAYNE NORTON

Tri-City’s Mr. Baseball gets first-pitch honour GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Wayne Norton has spent the majority of his life at a baseball diamond but, this weekend, he will attempt something he has never done before: throwing out the first pitch at a major league game.

The Port Moody resident and Seattle Mariners scout is being recognized for his work with the team and for raising awareness and money for ALS, a motor neurone disease he has struggled with for more than two years. He will be throwing the pitch tomorrow (Saturday) ahead of Seattle’s matchup against Cleveland at Safeco Field. “This will be a first for me,” he told The Tri-City News.

“It is a nice honour… I just feel very good about it.”

With the assistance of his wife, Trudy, and the ALS Society of BC, the 74-year-old has been able to maintain a busy scouting schedule despite his disease.

Over the summer, he attended a handful of tournaments, including events in Kamloops and Victoria, diligently taking notes on upcoming players, which are passed up through the organization’s ranks.

Norton said that he is happy his wife will be with him when

WAYNE NORTON he throws out the pitch, given her role in his work following his diagnosis. “She helps me scout,” he said. “The Mariners have been really good about keeping me on.”

Norton has been around baseball since the 1950s, playing locally with a Coquitlam team that won the provincial title in 1957 and 1959.

Eventually, college scouts took notice and he was whisked away to Whitworth College in Spokane, Wash., where he received a scholarship in baseball and basketball.

Major league teams then took an interest in the young player.

He attended several big-league training camps in the 1960s and had stints in St. Petersburg, Fla. and Birmingham, Ala. among other minor-league towns

before making his way back to Vancouver, where he joined up with Nat Bailey’s Mounties in 1966.

In fact, Bailey loaned Norton the money to purchase his home on Port Moody’s north shore shortly after he joined the team — and Norton has lived there ever since.

Norton eventually began coaching and launched the National Baseball Institute, helping young players like Larry Walker, Justin Morneau and Ryan Dempster on their way to becoming household names.

These days, Norton has taken on a new challenge: helping the ALS Society of BC raise money.

He told The Tri-City News in May it would be difficult for him to continue his scouting work if it were not for the help of the charitable organization, which works to find a cure for ALS and make life easier for those suffering from the disease. Norton has participated in numerous ALS Society events, recently taking part in a walk in the TriCities, which has helped raise more than $200,000 since it was launched in 2012.

• People interested in learning more about ALS and donating to the ALS Society can go to www.alsbc.ca.

FRESH FOOD

September switch = new market treats MARKET FRESH

KAREN CURTIS

I

sn’t September glorious?

(At least, it was until the rains hit.) I love this time of year, especially the cooler sunny days. What really gets me excited, though, is the bounty at the market.

The winter crops are starting to come in but the summer crops are still available. Corn and strawberries are almost done for the year, so make sure you get your fill. I am amazed at how sweet the berries are right now. Thank you all that sun.

What is really taking centre stage at the market now, however, are apples. Although Coquitlam Farmers Market said goodbye to Silver Hill’s Sonja and Raymond this year (and wish them a wonderful retirement), many other vendors have apples to enjoy. We have four vendors bringing apples to market so you can certainly get your fill. Sunrise is still available, and the Galas have begun to appear.

What is your favourite way to serve apples? The list is long.

From eating out of hand to featuring in savoury dishes and starring in desserts, apples can be used in a multitude of ways.

One of the easiest is a simple applesauce. Peel, core and slice

the apples, place them in a saucepan with a bit of water and cook until they are soft. That’s it. If you want to complicate the recipe, try adding a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar if you need it. You can even add other fruits such as pears, strawberries or blueberries. Apple sauce can be used as a condiment for meats, as a substitution for fat in baking or as a layer in a yummy granola yogurt parfait.

As for savoury uses, my current favourite savoury apple dish is the pork and apple sausage from Central Park Farm. They pair perfectly with pancakes or potatoes. But if you want to cook something, try this salad, with almost all the ingredients available at the market.

Toss together cooked chicken meat, sliced fennel and sliced apple with a simple, mustardbased dressing and sprinkle with slivered almonds. You can bulk the salad up with the addition of shredded kale.

And speaking of kale, it is in abundance right now. I always have it on hand for no other reason than to add it to smoothies but it, too, is a versatile vegetable. Cooked or raw, sweet or savoury, kale goes everywhere.

It’s a nutritional powerhouse too. A single cup of raw kale (about 67 grams, or 2.4 oz) contains a bevy of vitamins as well as manganese, calcium, copper, potassium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus. You can almost live off the stuff.

How about an apple, cheese and kale salad as a side dish for Thanksgiving? Shredded kale, diced apple and cubed gouda combined with a tart lemon-

SWEET & SAVOURY VEG Here’s one of my favourite Thanksgiving side dishes:

ROASTED VEGETABLES

1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice 2 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces ½ a butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice 1 small turnip, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice 2 onions, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice Combine all the veggies in a 9x13 baking dish. Coat with olive oil and roast at 425 F for 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven, season with salt, pepper and 1 tsp garam masala. Drizzle maple syrup over the top and continue roasting for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Enjoy!

On Track Dental

A.T.A. Plumbing celebrates 10 years in business!

The world always looks brighter from behind a smile.

LOCALLY

OWNED

It’s time to get the beautiful smile you have always wanted.

On Track Dental offers sedation dentistry, dental implants and cosmetic dentistry as well as family dentistry.

Dr. Myrna Pearce first opened her dental practice in Port Coquitlam more than three decades ago. And her commitment to the highest quality care is as strong as ever.

“A lot has changed over the years in terms of technology,” says Dr. Pearce, remarking that some of her patients have been coming to her for over 30 years. “But our approach to patient care has remained constant. The most important part of dentistry is still meeting the patient’s needs in a manner that the patient is comfortable with.”

Family owned and operated by Tomas and Anna Teglasi, this local business is proud to reach the 10-year milestone. The family business was established as a legacy for their family with the birth of their first son Adam. Shortly after came their second son, Alex and this fit perfectly into the name of A.T.A.; which is the initials of Tomas and his two sons.

Dr. Myrna Pearch Diplomate of American Association of Implant Dentistry

Most recently, the practice unveiled a new name, On Track Dental, and a new logo. The name has a double meaning: first, it reflects the practice’s focus on getting patients’ oral hygiene on track. But it’s also a reference to the fact the office is located along the train tracks on Shaughnessy Street, which is why there are train tracks in the new logo design.

Tomas has over twenty years of plumbing experience both in new construction and service plumbing. Anna has an extensive business background in International Trade and Transport. They put their two unique skills together to showcase Tom’s expertise in commercial, residential and renovation plumbing and Anna’s exceptional business and customer service skills.

Their foundation as a local company supports their belief in giving back to their community, both Anna and Tomas volunteer for different local sports associations and they proudly support several local charities throughout the year.

Tomas, Anna, Adam and Alex would like to thank all their customers for trusting them with all their plumbing needs and they look forward to serving this community for many years to come.

Thank you, Tri Cities!

OWNED

“We all still practice general dentistry and take care of our patients’ day-to-day needs, but we are also able to provide services to those patients who may require something out of the ordinary,” says Dr. Pearce, who is an Diplomate of the American Association of Implant Dentistry.

“I find that patients feel more comfortable when all their treatment is provided at the same office.”

Over the years, Dr. Pearce has remained a student of dentistry, pursuing education and certifications that have given her the knowledge and skills to ensure she’s providing patients with the best possible care.

At On Track Dental, Pearce leads a likeminded team that also includes Dr. Candace Woodman, and Dr. Darren Zomar.

With thousands of satisfied customers, Moore & Russell Heating and Cooling has become synonymous with remarkable service and a high attention to detail.

“There’s a lot more to heating and air conditioning than just installing a unit,” says owner, Serge Laredo. “You need to consider the home and the homeowner and come up with a solution that’s ideal for both.”

Specializing in all aspects of the HVAC industry, Moore & Russell Heating and Cooling offers everything from residential replacements to a wide range of commercial products and services.

“We install forced air furnaces, central air conditioners, heat pumps, ductless split air conditioners and heat pumps, water heaters, zoning, HRV’s, you name it,” says Laredo.

“Volunteering has been a part of my life for a long time now,” said Laredo. “Being involved with the Breakfast Club is just a natural part of what we do.”

“Being a part of the community is really important to us,” Laredo says. “The Breakfast Club is a great way for us to give back.”

Their community involvement has earned Moore & Russell Heating and Cooling a host of accolades, including one for their involvement in the Easter Seals House Renovation Project in June 2012.

The Moore & Russell Staff with Santa at the Christmas Breakfast Club

Laredo learned that one in five Canadian children are currently at risk of missing breakfast regardless of his or her socioeconomic status. And that can have a big impact on the child’s studies, social activities, and future.

That’s when he decided to get involved.

“It’s about providing whatever our customers need, 24/7.”

For the past four years, the heating company’s staff has visited Maillard Middle School in Coquitlam several times each year to assist in the serving of the breakfast to the students.

While many residents of the Lower Mainland are familiar with Moore & Russell Heating and Cooling’s long history of providing heating and air conditioning services to homes in the area, they may not be as familiar with their deep commitment to the communities they serve.

Laredo emphasizes that the involvement in the Breakfast Club is really just a part of the company’s overall commitment to its customers and its community. Everyone at Moore & Russell appreciates the chance to participate.

They enjoy the opportunity to contribute to the region that has given them so much.

Not sure if it’s time to repair or replace? Trust the professionals at Moore & Russell Heating and Cooling to come up with a solution that’s right for you.

ing blend. ‘Autumn Blaze’ is a blend of yellows and reds with some attractive blotchy faces and bi-colouring. ‘Harvest Mix’ is a combination of deep orange, deep red and deep yellow and is warm and comforting.

There are many more interesting winter pansy blends that really make a huge difference in fall and winter gardens.

Winter pansies are much more effective when strategically located in high visibility locations, such as along your driveway and sidewalks and around focal trees. Stand back and take a good look at your landscape to see just where little bits of colour would spark things up for the coming fall and winter.

If you have some large flower beds that you’d like to liven up, use pansies along with other winter plants. Flowering kale and cabbage are sensational winter focal points. Plant kale in attractive patterns, using blocks of three to five plants.

Between your groupings of kale, add blocks of solid, brightly coloured pansies. Try orange pansies around purple kale or deep blue pansies around white

kale. These combinations are really eye-catching.

Dwarf, compact evergreen grasses make fabulous focal points in planting beds or containers. For example, Carex morrowii ‘Variegata’ has white and yellow variegated foliage that is quite striking all winter long. These grasses are also perfect companions to small bulbs like blue crocus and dwarf Iris reticulata. The new evergreen ajugas, like the deep purple ‘Mahogany’ and the pink/cream ‘Burgundy Glow’, make fine ground covers or edging plants and are great complements to pansies.

Fall coloured heucheras are not only evergreen but also provide fabulous accents for almost any colour of pansy.

Heuchera ‘Peach Melba’ and ‘Peach Flambé’ are especially effective with orange and gold pansies.

We’ve only just begun to discover the pleasure and value that pansies can add to a garden during the bleakest time of the year. Getting an early start will make a significant difference to the size and quality of your pansy display.

Jenna Buglioni’s life revolves around hockey.

She plays both ice hockey and the field game.

GIRLS HOCKEY

It’s all hockey all the time for PoMo teen MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Jenna knows hockey.

She knows ice hockey and she knows field hockey.

In fact, Jenna Buglioni knows them so well she’ll be at a U18 Team BC ice hockey tryout camp at the end of this month, and she’s already helped her provincial field hockey team win a U15 na-

tional championship this past summer.

Buglioni, 15, has been playing ice hockey since she was four years old. She started playing the field game a year later.

The seasons run concurrently, so that’s made the Port Moody teen’s life… complicated. And extremely busy.

“Everything for me goes year-round,” said Buglioni, who also plays field hockey for her school, Gleneagle secondary in Coquitlam. When she can. “Luckily I have really great coaches.”

Buglioni said while the only similarity between the two

hockeys is the name, they are complementary. Running up and down the big field helps her cardio fitness and endurance at the rink and the speed of ice hockey develops her hand-eye coordination and ability to see plays in field hockey.

“Both games are definitely super fast,” Buglioni said. “I’ve been able to get stronger as both sports are so leg-dominant.”

Buglioni played ice hockey in a girls’ league when she was a tyke, but moved to boys’ hockey for five years after that because she thought it would

“I’m going in prepared.”

If Buglioni performs well enough in exhibition games against the UBC women’s team to make the cut to 20, she’ll travel to the national championships in Quebec in November.

It wouldn’t be her first taste of national competition.

After Buglioni helped her U15 provincial team win the field hockey nationals in Surrey in August, she was invited to the national junior development squad.

But as the competitive de-

mands and time commitment of her two beloved sports grow, Buglioni knows she’ll eventually have to make a choice.

Scouts are keeping an eye on her. Universities have made preliminary enquiries.

Buglioni, who’s just started Grade 10, said it’s always been her dream to play ice hockey in the NCAA. But she’s not closing the gate on field hockey, even if she just ends up playing it recreationally.

“I love both sports,” Buglioni said. “Both just come naturally to me.” mbartel@tricitynews.com

“I learned from the boys,” she said. “It made me more aggressive and not afraid to get into the dirty areas.”

That served her well when she went back to girls’ hockey in the Port Coquitlam system and started moving up the competitive tiers.

“I feel like I play big,” Buglioni said.

At the upcoming tryout camp for 26 players shortlisted for selection to the U18 provincial team, she’ll also be up against older girls.

“It’s definitely a challenge,” Buglioni said, adding she often
