Criminal enterprise was family affair: cops Guns, cash, drugs seized in a huge Coquitlam bust DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam RCMP say they have disrupted a Coquitlam crime family that had been dealing drugs, amassing guns and living a lavish lifestyle.

An investigation dubbed “ENightlife” and lasting 17 months has led to 58 charges against 11 people, along with the seizure of guns, drugs, luxury cars and cash, according to a press release last Friday from the Mounties.

The press release states that ENightlife started when the Coquitlam RCMP Drugs and Organized Crime team targeted a criminal organization trafficking in legal and illegal drugs including fentanyl, Alprazolam (Xanax), cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and MDMA (ecstasy).

One of the alleged kingpins, according to the RCMP, is 34-year-old Coquitlam resident Andrew Edwin Robert Leach, who is facing 20

Port Coquitlam unveiled its Canada 150 mosaic Saturday during Culture Days at Leigh Square Community Arts Village. The eight-by-12-foot mural outside The Outlet has 600 tiles that were painted by artists and residents at Canada Day and Canada 150 events this summer. Titled “Our Journey,” the permanent public artwork includes scenes of hometown hero Terry Fox and the area’s natural landscape as well as a Kwikwetlem First Nation logo. Port Moody residents also spent last weekend painting more than 720 tiles at the PoMo Station Museum for the city’s Canada 150 mosaic, which will go up at the recreation complex after renovations are complete. Coquitlam residents will be able to add their artistic touches to the city’s legacy mosaic at workshops organized by the Coquitlam Public Library between Oct. 20 and 22 (for more information, visit coqlibrary.ca).

PORT MOODY COUNCIL BYELECTION

Madsen PoMo’s newest city councillor Madsen says he wants to slow the pace of growth

The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody’s newest city councillor wants to get to work quickly to slow things down.

Hunter Madsen, who won Saturday’s byelection by a handy margin, said Monday he has asked city staff to bring him up to speed as quickly as possible so he can fulfill the theme of his campaign: to slow the pace of the city’s growth and development to a more “moderate, balanced” level.

The councillor-elect said he believes that’s the message the 1,277 voters who elected him want to send to city council and he heard similar sentiments from many more as he was knocking on doors and speaking to residents in the community.

“They’re not opposed to growth as long as they keep it balanced,” Madsen said. “They don’t want the city to exceed its targeted population. They’re worried about the downsides of excessive densification.”

Those downsides, he said, include increased traffic, more strain on the city’s parks and services, and the construction of a second road on the north

Port Moody’s councillor-elect Hunter Madsen says he’s ready to get to work after winning his seat in Saturday’s byelection. His 1,277 votes were more than double the nearest candidate, Karen Rockwell. shore to connect to the Ioco lands, which are in the early stages of a redevelopment process that could bring thousands of new residents to the area.

One of the proposed routes would put that road right through the middle of Bert Flinn Park, and it’s Madsen’s vocal opposition and efforts to organize the community against such a route that forged his political identity in Port Moody.

But Madsen said his cam-

paign was about more than saving the park from a road.

“I was really taking a broader view,” he said. “The park fits in the context of our need to make the most of our amazing parks system. I talked a lot about protecting the parks from overuse that comes from population growth.”

Karen Rockwell, a former Port Moody councillor who finished a distant second in her bid to return to city hall with 530 votes, said Madsen’s assertion

that the city is on the road to becoming “another Metrotown” of tall towers is fear-mongering.

“These anti-development people seem to think they’re going to wake up next week to a wall of towers,” Rockwell said.

“I think we need to take a step back from that. The planning is taking place now to make sure the infrastructure is put in place.”

COQUITLAM CRUNCH

Crunch plans would add amenities, cost $7M GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Plans for a $7-million expansion of the Coquitlam Crunch that would eventually see the trail extend from Eagle Mountain to Mundy Park and Colony Farm received an initial endorsement Monday from city council.

The project would be built in phases over the next five years, according to a staff report, with detailed budgets provided to council for each section.

For example, a new washroom facility at Lansdowne Drive, a paved parking lot for 60 vehicles, benches and other furnishings, water fountains and new pedestrian crossings are expected to cost $2.5 million and could be built between 2018 and 2019. The initial phase would also include a viewing area and outdoor exercise

CITY OF COQUITLAM PHOTO

The 2.2-km Coquitlam Crunch is one of the city of Coquitlam’s most popular outdoor amenities, with between 7,000 and 52,000 people using it each month, depending on the time of year. equipment.

“It is a multi-year strategy to expand what has become probably… one of the most popular amenities,” said Raul Allueva, the city’s general manager of

parks, recreation and culture.

“It is certainly synonymous with Coquitlam.”

Last spring, the city conducted a survey of Crunch users to determine what could be

done to improve it. According to a staff report, the most frequent request was for a restroom, with more site furnishings, benches and drinking fountains coming in second.

Some respondents expressed concerns about loose and slippery trail surfacing while others said they would like to see a dog off-leash area and outdoor exercise equipment.

The staff report noted that the second phase, which would be included in the 2019 budget, would cost approximately $1.5 million, with possible construction starting in 2020.

That money would be pay for trail improvements between Eagle Mountain and Lansdowne drives while adding a washroom and paved parking for 30 vehicles. It would also cover the cost of twinning the trails between Guildford Way and Runnel Drive, creating a looped circuit, while adding signage, trail markers and furnishings.

The third phase — at $3 million, it would be the most expensive — would see the Crunch

connect with Barnet Highway and a green space on the south side of Dewdney Trunk Road, going up the hill before connecting with Mundy Park.

The work would be in the 2020 budget, with possible construction expected between 2021 and 2022. “These are big projects,” said Allueva. “These are significant amenities and amenity extensions.”

Water main work is currently underway along the trail route and is expected to be completed in the spring.

In order to keep the trail open, a new permanent second set of stairs was built and is expected to be open this month.

When the water main work is completed, the old stairs will be rebuilt, twinning the steps in what the city said is the most popular section of the amenity.

Nicola Spurling asked Coquitlam city council last month to install rainbow crosswalks at a number of possible intersections. that we… take a symbol that is already there,” said Coun.

Dennis Marsden.

“The request is for a crosswalk… and I see no reason to reinvent the wheel,” added Coun. Bonita Zarrillo.

But not all at the council table support a rainbow crosswalk.

Coun. Terry O’Neill said he worries that by recognizing one group, the city would be setting a precedent for other organizations and entities to come forward seeking crosswalks of their own.

“I am not in favour of doing this,” he said. “If this makes LGBT youth feel unwelcome, I am so sorry for that because everything we do in this city is about welcoming.”

He later added: “If we did it for one… we are going to have to do it for everybody.”

Earlier in the meeting, Jerome Bouvier, the execu-

tive director of Access Youth Outreach Services, and Katrina Shelast, a local business owner, said they had launched a fundraising campaign to help pay for the crosswalk.

Shelast told The Tri-City News last week, “We wanted to take the money issue off the table.”

Bouvier said the crosswalk would be an important symbol of diversity, particularly for young people, noting that many of the youth he works with struggle to feel included in their community.

The issue was first brought to council last month by Nicola Spurling, a member of the TriCities Pride Society, who called on the city to install a rainbow crosswalk and a trans crosswalk at a prominent Coquitlam intersection.

She added that Coquitlam would be following in the footsteps of many other com-

A rainbow crosswalk could be on the way in Coquitlam.

Monday, council instructed staff to bring back a report listing the potential cost and locations while also considering other options to highlight diversity in the city.

“This has been divisive,” Coun. Chris Wilson said of the debate that has taken place in the community and on social media since the rainbow crosswalk was first proposed last month. “But it has also been enlightening for a lot of people… It is about diversity as a whole and we can all be leaders.”

While the majority of councillors said they support a rainbow crosswalk, several other ideas were put forward that would promote inclusivity in the community.

Coun. Mae Reid suggested putting up signs at all of the city’s entry points stating that Coquitlam welcomes diversity while Coun. Teri Towner has proposed painting rainbow steps on the Coquitlam Crunch trail.

In the end, most councillors agreed that a crosswalk, similar to ones seen in other communities, like New Westminster, Vancouver and Langley, would be the best approach “I think it is important

close the Mariner Way facility and concentrate its recycling service at Town Centre Park, said the staff report.

Currently, single-family homeowners pay an average of $21 per year for the operation of the recycling depots. With the expected decrease in the overall expenditure and with multifamily homes sharing in the cost, the average fee would be between $7 and $9 per dwelling over the next few years, according to preliminary estimates put forward by the city’s engineering department.

“This would be a significant reduction in recycling fees for [single-family] homeowners but would represent a new fee altogether for [multi-family] homeowners,” said the staff report.

Starting this month and continuing until March 2018, the engineering department will collect data at the Town Centre facility to determine what residents are using the depot service.

Based on the analysis, staff will assess whether a new fee should be implemented and will bring back a report to council as part of the 2018

Changes could be coming in Coquitlam that would see owners of condos and townhouses pay more and single-family homeowners pay less for recycling depot services offered by the municipality.

Currently, only owners of houses bear the cost of the facilities through their solid-waste fees, included in their annual property tax bill.

“However, the recycling depots are a community-wide benefit used by all residents in the city regardless of whether they pay into the solid waste utility,” said a staff report to city council.

For 2017, the cost of operating the recycling depots in Coquitlam is expected to be approximately $530,000, although the total will likely decrease to $350,000 in 2018 and 2019 following the city’s decision to

Jozsef Dioszeghy, the city’s general manager of engineering and public works, said the city would base any new fees on the data collected over the next few months. He told council that if the cost of implementing the proposal is more than the income generated, staff would not recommend making the change.

Recycling depot fees are not the only example of the city rebalancing its utility rates between single- and multi-family homes. The city is currently in the process of changing water rates so that single-family homeowners will pay more than multi-family homeowners.

KWIKWETLEM FIRST NATION

Disclosure shows big bucks for KFN’s chief $258k in pay and bonuses for chief of Kwikwetlem JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

The chief of the 102-member Kwikwetlem First Nation (KFN) took in more than a quarter of a million dollars in the last fiscal year — about $2,500 for each person he represents.

According to recently released financial statements from the band, which has its two reserves in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam — and has land claims against the province for Riverview Hospital lands and against the city of PoCo — Chief Ron Giesbrecht received $258,338 in remuneration from: • $88,882 in salary; • $123,806 as chief executive officer of KFN Enterprises, a subsidiary that oversees the band’s economic development and is run by chief operations officer David Leitch; • and $45,650 for a band member profit-sharing bonus.

Chief Giesbrecht also racked up $29,697 in expenses (transportation, accommo-

CHIEF RON GIESBRECHT dation, meals, etc.) as chief, the First Nations Financial Transparent Act disclosures to the Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada reveal.

According to the disclosures, Coun. Fred Hulbert Sr. earned pay of $63,027 for his 12 months on council — and the same amount as Giesbrecht in profit sharing — while former Coun. Ed Hall got $52,938 for his council duties plus the bonus.

(Band member profit-sharing bonuses amounted to $2.6 million in 2017 and $468,500 in ’16 for community services and economic development.)

Meanwhile, according to the audited statements, KFN doubled its financial assets in a

year, with $6.3 million in cash and investments as of March 31, 2017. The band’s major revenue came from: • Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada ($808,576); • BC Housing ($4.4 million); • KinderMorgan Canada ($2 million); • B.C government ($1.5 million); • and its subsidiary Saskay Land Development ($809,358), which is currently developing one of its reserves for a 90-acre business park and wellness centre off Pitt River Road.

KFN’s liabilities also rose over the year, from $1.6 million to $3 million, the statements show.

Also up is its members’ equity, divided over five fund programs — operating, social housing, capital, trust and enterprise — from $8.4 million to $10 million.

A request for comment from KFN was not returned.

In 2014, Chief Giesbrecht drew national attention for collecting a $800,000 bonus as the band’s economic development officer as part of a provincial land sale worth $8 million.

Of KFN’s 102 members, 38 live on band land in Coquitlam.

SKYTRAIN

Noise ‘improving,’ says TransLink prez Noise problem persisted past a prev. prediction

TEMP. BURQUITLAM STATION CHANGES

GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

The screeching emanating from the tracks of the Evergreen Extension was a problem for most of the summer but TransLink officials say they think they have finally have it under control.

Vivienne King, president and general manager of the BC Rapid Transit Company (BCRTC), which oversees SkyTrain, said grinding work on the tracks, particularly in the 2.2-km tunnel section between Inlet and Burquitlam stations, has had some positive results.

“Even some of the people that have got in touch with us are saying that the noise is improving,” she said. “I am very pleased to hear that.”

The issue first cropped up in Coquitlam Town Centre in July.

King said crews were dispatched to grind the tracks and some noise was expected for a couple of weeks as the rails adjusted to the train wheels. But when the problem persisted through the end of August and began becoming a bigger issue in the tunnel, more work was conducted.

Rail grinding on the Evergreen Extension has helped ease some of the track noise when trains travel between Lincoln and Lafarge Lake-Douglas stations in Coquitlam Town Centre, according to B.C. Rapid Transit Company president and general manager Vivienne King.

“Our people have gone out and done more grinding,” she said. “The noise has dropped down and we are monitoring it. We are hoping it will drop down more.”

BCRTC receives an average of approximately 20 noise complaints throughout the entire SkyTrain system each month. Those figures jumped to 80 complaints per month

during the summer, which she said was enough to get the attention of TransLink officials.

King said since the most recent rail grinding work was completed, the numbers for September have fallen to six noise complaints, with the majority of those related to the Evergreen Line.

“Steel on steel will always make a noise,” she said. “Our

Inspection of Documents

If you have any comments on these proposed exemptions, please submit written comments to the Corporate Office by 4:00 pm on Tuesday, October 10, 2017. This Bylaw will be considered for final reading on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at 7:00 pm.

Beginning on the long weekend and for the following two weekends, transit riders taking the Evergreen Extension between Coquitlam and Burnaby will have to transfer trains at Burquitlam Station to complete their trip.

The modified service will take place for three consecutive weekends beginning this Saturday.

Customers are encouraged to allow an extra five to 10 minutes of travel time when connecting at Burquitlam on Oct. 7, 8 and 9, 14 and 15, and 21 and 22.

This is because they will have to switch trains at Burquitlam, which entails exiting the train and going down to the concourse level, then crossing over to the opposite platform to catch the next train to continue to their destination.

There will be signage and announcements to assist travellers, according to Chris Bryan, TransLink spokesperson.

The disruption is necessary to allow for the installation of fibre optic cable in the tunnel to enable cellular service.

“The is the last stretch of our system to get it,” Bryan said.

Service on the Expo Line, and on the Millennium Line between VCC-Clark and Burquitlam stations, will be not be affected by this weekend work.

TransLink will be installing fibre optic cable in the Port Moody Evergreen Extension tunnel the next three weekends, which will cause some changes for SkyTrain riders.

job is to get that to a level that is acceptable around the railway and for our customers.”

King added that in the future, her organization plans to communicate more with residents and customers in the area to better inform transit users of the maintenance procedures and noise issues.

Anthem closes deal to buy Coq. project Brandywine owners used Bill 40 wind-up method GLEN KORSTROM

BUSINESS IN VANCOUVER

Anthem Properties has closed a deal to buy the Coquitlam housing complex Brandywine for $32 million.

The B.C. Supreme Court approved the sale of the 58-unit condominium project at 585 Austin Ave. earlier this year.

This is one of the first strata developments to sell to a developer using a new method for winding up strata corporations since the B.C. government

implemented Bill 40 last year.

The new law allows strata corporation members to vote to wind up the corporation and sell assets to developers with a minimum of 80% of the members voting in favour. The catch is that the sale has to be approved by B.C. Supreme Court — something that is not the case if selling assets is unanimous.

At Brandywine, 84.5% of owners voted to wind up the strata corporation.

“The process was long but it was fair, and even though we had to increase the price to match the growing market over that time, we are happy with the outcome,” said Anthem’s vice-president of acquisi-

tions and development, Steve Forrest, in a press release.

Anthem has applied to the city of Coquitlam to redevelop the property, which it will call Wynwood Green. The company wants to replace the 41-year-old complex with two buildings that are 23 and 28 storeys tall, with 379 units in all. Anthem aims to launch construction in early 2018.

The site borders the Vancouver Golf Club and Brookmere Park, and is about 500 m from the Lougheed Town Centre SkyTrain station, where riders can access the Expo and Millennium lines, including the Evergreen Extension. gkorstrom@biv.com

CRIME

No known link to Bby. school shooting continued from front page

No one was in the school at the time and Cpl. Mike McLaughlin said staff and students are not at risk.

The school opened on time Monday but police canvassed the neighbourhood and searched the school grounds trying to find out what happened.

A similar incident occurred at a Burnaby school just after midnight on Sunday but police haven’t said the shootings are related. At Byrne Creek secondary, a number of bullet holes were found in the front entrance Monday morning and classes were delayed to allow police to investigate.

“We don’t have any solid evidence that proves a connection,” Cpl. McLaughlin told The Tri-City News Tuesday, adding, “We’re certainly alive to the similarities and we are working with the Burnaby RCMP to share information between the two files [but] we don’t have a solid connection.”

He said the Centennial shooting occurred sometime between Friday night and Monday morning but police are narrowing the timeline with their investigation. He did not shed any more light on what has been found or say whether police found any bullets or bullet casings in the classroom where the shot was fired.

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam RCMP officers looked for evidence Monday into a weekend shooting at Centennial secondary school in Coquitlam that left a bullet hole (see yellow circle, left) in a classroom window.

“We’re not talking about what we found. We did collect physical evidence at the scene,” Cpl. McLaughlin said.

He added: “It’s important for us to get out there’s no immediate danger to students and staff.”

“We are working closely with the RCMP, who have been onsite throughout the day,” School District 43’s communication manager, Peter Chevrier, said in email Monday. “This matter is jointly our number one priority.

At this time, the RCMP has indi-

cated that there is no significant danger to students or staff.”

He added that the school was communicating with parents, students and staff about the incident.

“The safety of our students and staff is of utmost impor-

tance. Centennial secondary is a safe and welcoming school and we work every day to ensure it remains that way.”

As of Tuesday morning, police confirmed they were continuing their investigation and while not at the school full-time would be “going up as necessary.”

It’s also not known why neighbours failed to report the sound of gunfire but McLaughlin said it can be difficult to distinguish and people sometimes say they heard gunshots when it turns out to be something different.

This would be the second incident of vandalism at an

SD43 school in recent weeks.

Recently, Montgomery middle school sustained thousands of dollars worth of damage in a vandalism spree. Two 13-yearolds were arrested in connection with the incident.

The school collected hundreds of calls, comments and notes of support and gifts of chocolate to help in the recovery.

In the meantime, police are asking anyone with information about the Centennial shooting to call the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency line at 604-945-1550 and quote file #2017-31528. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

It’s time to restrict where civic election funding comes from T he 2018 municipal elections will be fought under new spending rules but where the money comes from won’t change.

That’s because there is too little time for the NDP provincial government to ban union and corporate donations even if there were unanimous demand for those sorts of tweaks.

And that’s too bad.

This is a time when transparency is needed to ensure that the public not only respects the process but participates.

The pathetically low voter turnout in Port Moody’s byelection on Saturday — 12% — is a reminder that there is a subset NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

of people who take their local politics seriously while most others simply don’t care or are jaded by the process.

It’s time to end the wild west of municipal politics. Nobody is saying there is a direct conflict of interest between those who accept union and corporate donations and their funders, we are just saying it looks bad to many voters. And these days, looking bad is a problem, when so many people are leaving their votes on the table.

There is also the future and future voters to think about. It won’t be the first time that lax regulation has led to people and systems being taken advantage

TC

of — the real estate industry and its increasingly speculative nature come to mind.

Who is to say that that a nod and wink approach to donations won’t lead to a conflict of interest in the future as development pressures, in particular, increase, or union demands for job security grow. In addition to controlling where the money comes from, there should also be contribution limits.

Currently, a candidate could get free rent from a corporation while another could get free time paid for by a union, with only disclosure after the fact required. It all adds up to a murky political environment.

Finally, it should be noted that new spending limits didn’t go far enough and won’t end big money in the Tri-Cities. In Coquitlam, the new rules don’t do much to change the dollar figure allowed in that city; ditto for Port Coquitlam. Only in Port Moody, where election spending went through the roof in 2014, will expenditures be curtailed based on the new population-based formula for spending.

What we need is more transparency at the municipal level, not less, and putting more limits on political fundraising and spending would be a good first step.

STOCK IMAGE

How much candidates for mayor and council can spend on their campaigns will be restricted for next fall’s Tri-City municipal elections but there are no restrictions yet on who can contribute.

COQUITLAM

Keep full-service gas stations The Editor, For years Coquitlam has had a bylaw requiring gas stations to provide full service. This has been a sense of pride of our city being equality focused and providing employment. I always seek out filling my vehicle within the city of Coquitlam because of this service.

Now, Chevron has applied to appeal the zoning bylaw on full-service gas stations. This application came before the City’s Universal Access-Ability Advisory Committee on Sept.

5. The application is still before the committee and no decision has been made yet. The people of the Tri-Cities area need to be made aware of this appeal.

Chevron says it cannot afford to hire workers. As well, it believes people will spend more money if they have to enter the store to pay for their gas.

And they have issues with the Working Alone law,(established under Grant’s law, based on the lone gas station worker who was killed when a motorist did a gas-and-dash and dragged him to his death and this has been around since 2005) which requires either two workers at

Coquitlam currently mandates all gas stations must be full service but Chevron is asking the city to change the rules. night or specific safety precautions to be in place for lone workers.

Gas pumping provides employment for students, immigrants and persons who want to subsidize their income for rent and food, and it provides jobs for seniors making up shortfalls in small pensions.

Gas prices are high and the cost of barrels of crude oil is low. Someone is getting very rich in the gas industry and now they want to destroy jobs.

At a time when we should be focused on building our economy, their approach flies in the face of the need for jobs.

These full-service stations

also provide equal accessibility for seniors and people with disabilities. A friend who is wheelchair-dependant, drives and is employed has been informed by Chevron that she can bring a friend to assist her at the pump. This is impossible and ridiculous on so many levels. The loss of full

service would be humiliating, dismissive, time-consuming and backwards by decades for people with mobility issues.

I urge everyone to contact the city of Coquitlam and Chevron to voice their concerns about the potential loss of this service.

Brad West wants to ban smoking in playgrounds and parks, and is saying that kids and other park users shouldn’t be exposed to second-hand smoke.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that, as a smoker, I am not allowed to utilize public parks.

I pay for them like others.

Eventually, everyone will come into contact with smoke, so why ban it from playgrounds and parks, and limit our rights as smokers.

LIGHTS FOR LAS VEGAS

The beauty in the world lies in the diversity of its people

GREG MOORE PHOTO

In the aftermath of the United States’ worst mass shooting of the modern age on the weekend in Las Vegas — an attack in which 59 people were killed, including at least four Canadians, and more than 500 were injured — Port Coquitlam city hall was lit up in the colours of the American flag on Monday.

Mayor Greg Moore tweeted this photo Monday evening, writing: “Tonight the @CityofPoCo stands with our neighbours to the south, you are in our thoughts and prayers.” Of the four Canadians who lost their lives in the Vegas shooting, one was from B.C.: 23-year-old Jordan McIldoon of Maple Ridge.

Pruning and removing hazard trees and plants Pitt Meadow Protecting our power lines When: Time:

September 15 to February 28, 2018 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

As important as they are, trees and other plants can cause significant power interruptions. Contact between trees and power lines can be very dangerous, which is why over the next few months, we’ll be pruning and removing trees and other plants in the Pitt Meadow area.

Project boundaries: North: East: South: West:

October is Community Inclusion Month. Every year at this time, the Community Ventures Society (CVS) and Community Integration Services Society (CISS) celebrate the contributions that people with developmental disabilities make in the Tri-Cities communities. We think that inclusion should happen in childcare, in education, in the community, volunteering and in workplaces. Working is one of the best ways in achieving inclusion so that people are included in our economic system as workers, consumers and taxpayers. As important, workplaces are social systems where it is very likely that people will make friends and develop relationships and that provides social inclusion. Below are positive examples of inclusive employers in the Tri-Cities.

Our first example is the Tri-Cities Branches of Vancity who are intentional about giving people with developmental disabilities the opportunity to contribute and show that they can be valuable employees and contribute to public service.

Vancity was recognized by the Employment Roundtable of the Tri-Cities who awarded the Inclusive Employer Award to Vancity at the Mayor’s BBQ on September 7. Vancity’s work on diversity and inclusion is organization wide and is rooted in its organizational values. We very much appreciate the efforts of Vancity Savings Credit Union and they very much deserve this award.

Another shining example of an inclusive employer is at Gabi & Jules Bakery, where they employ several people with developmental disabilities. Owners Lisa & Peter Beecroft were awarded the Peter Hulbert Award at the City of Port Moody Volunteer Appreciation Night.

In December, the Employment Roundtable of the Tri-Cities presented an Inclusive Employer Award at the annual Christmas Rotary Luncheon (all 4 Rotary Clubs in the Tri-Cities) to Paul Droulis who owns the Canadian Tire in Coquitlam. Paul hired 2 people with developmental disabilities to work at Canadian Tire.

Community Ventures Society and Community Integration Services Society asks you to reflect on these exemplars of inclusion in the Tri-Cities and we invite you to join us in celebrating Community Inclusion Month. Over the next year, we ask that you think about how you can help people with disabilities be more included in our schools, places of play, in the arts, in workplaces and at the ballot box.

October is Community Inclusion Month.

Leach was “very wellknown to police,” Cpl. Mike McLaughlin, the RCMP spokesperson, confirmed.

McLaughlin also confirmed that two of the major players in the ENightlife investigation were arrested on Aug. 30 at an apartment in the 1200-block of Pacific Street in Coquitlam but he did not release their names.

According to the police statement, Andrew Leach was identified as a priority for investigation by both the local force and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, which uses a predictive targeting process called the Provincial Tactical Enforcement Priority.

The cooperation between police agencies is one of the key elements of the case, according to Insp. Bryon Massie, who said in a statement that the “success of ENightlife is an example of what happens when citizens work with their local police and police agencies work with each other — what happens is we create safer communities together.”

Drugs seized in the investigation include thousands of counterfeit Oxycontin pills containing fentanyl; Alprazolam (Xanax) pills; as much as two pounds of marijuana; as well as small amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine, heroin and MDMA (ecstasy) in pill and powdered form, suggesting a “broad-based spectrum of drugs, for a broad spectrum of users,” said Cpl. McLaughlin.

Police also seized $784,603.31 in Canadian cash as well as $5,599 in U.S. bills plus four cars, including a 2009 Mercedes-Benz E320, a 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL55, a 2007 Nisan Altima and a 2009 Acura TL. As well, a dozen weapons were seized, many of them modified, as well as a number of high-capacity pistol magazines and hundreds of rounds of ammunition of various calibers.

Such a cache of deadly weapons is a reminder of the violence associated with drug trafficking, McLaughlin said.

Family members allegedly involved in the crime group include Leach’s mother, Karen Leach, 69, who is charged with several offences including possession of a prohibited firearm and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking; his sister, Rhonda Leach, 40, who has been charged with possession of proceeds of crime; and his nephew Marcus Leach, 19, who faces charges for several firearm offences and possession of proceeds of crime.

Merissa Demosten, 24, and Arghavan Ebrahimi, 25, both of Coquitlam, have been charged with a number of offences, including membership in a criminal organization and

Other Tri-City residents facing charges in the case are: Golareh-Sadat EhteshamFar, 25, and Maria Kemp, 26, both of Port Moody, and Morvarid Hashemi, 25, of Port Coquitlam.

As well, a father and son from Langley has been charged in the case: Ronald James Yaroshuk, 59, and his son, Zach Morgan Ronald Joyce, 25.

McLaughlin didn’t lay out many details of the case, which is still under investigation, except to say that thousands of hours, including overtime by the Coquitlam RCMP Drugs and Organized Crime team, was spent on the investigation.

“It’s a good day when we can take these guns off the street and effectively dismantle a criminal organization,” he told The Tri-City News Friday.

According to police, firearms seized included a sawed-off shotgun, two unmodified 12gauge shotguns, a Steyr AUG A 1 rifle, a 1 Norinco carbine, a Sterling sub-machine gun with a prohibited magazine and silencer, a 9 mm carbine, a Cobray M11/9 submachine gun, six prohibited carbine magazines, a Steyr 9 mm pistol, a Beretta .40 caliber pistol, a Glock 17 pistol, a modified Glock 23 fully automatic pistol, four high-capacity pistol magazines and hundreds of rounds of ammunition of various calibres.

Both Demosten and Andrew Leach remain in custody on the charges while the others have been released with conditions, with a number of appearances in court slated over the next two weeks.

The investigation is continuing and more charges could result, McLaughlin said, adding, “We are actively investigating people who may be working with that core group and more charges are possible,” Police say anyone with information about criminal activity in Coquitlam RCMP’s jurisdiction of Coquitlam and PoCo should call the non-emergency line at 604-945-1550 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477), or report it online at www.solvecrime.ca. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

THE ENVIRONMENT

Belcarra teen aims to help those groups that help animals Longtime hatchery volunteer has set up website DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

When he was a curly-haired child, Griffin Andersen was always game to help Mossom Creek Hatchery with odd jobs or to fundraise when its building burned down.

Now a Grade 11 student, the Belcarra resident hopes to help in an even bigger way with a new website called Wishful Thinking (www.wishfulthinking.community) that aims to generate donations of tools and cash for agencies that support animals and wildlife.

“When I started this project, I wanted to give back to groups I’ve admired and known about for years,” said Anderson told The Tri-City News.

An avid environmentalist who hopes to have a future in biology or other sciences, he chose Mossom Creek Hatchery

in Port Moody, the Coquitlam Animal Shelter and the Wildlife Rescue Association in Burnaby as his charities.

With the website he launched earlier this month, Anderson describes the efforts of the non-profits and posts the “wish lists” of each group to aid them in obtaining necessary equipment or food for animals.

He also describes his connection to the group and why it’s important that people support them.

“This is something I decided to do on my own,” said Andersen, 16, who attends Burnaby Mountain secondary and is a competitive swimmer with the Simon Fraser Aquatics.

He has been campaigning for support, and obtained tools from the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department, a gift certificate for tools from the Home Depot and is hoping to hear good news from the Lee Valley Tools donation committee.

If there is any excess equipment that Mossom can’t use, he plans to donate it to nearby Noons Creek Hatchery.

Would you wear Port Moody?

Marketing pros push Port Moody as a brand MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

C

an a T-shirt make Port Moody the coolest suburb in Metro Vancouver?

Victoria Petriw and Sydney Van Alstyne sure hope so.

They’re the creative force behind Port Moody & Co., a new lifestyle brand of T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and hats that’s also helping brand the city as a cool place to live, hang out in or just visit.

Petriw, 29, and Van Alstyne, 24, both grew up in Coquitlam but they really started to forge their connection with Port Moody when they worked at Osamu Sushi as teenagers.

The steady stream of familiar regular customers and happy families from Port Moody that frequented the Coquitlam restaurant gave them a sense of the city as a close-knit community, Petriw said.

Now working in marketing and living in the Suter Brook and Klahanie neighbourhoods, Petriw and Van Alstyne got the idea for boasting about their city about a year ago while running along the inlet.

“We thought this was so incredible,” Petriw said of the expansive views across the water to the mountains, the fresh air and soaring eagles. “You real-

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Sydney Van Alstyne (left) and Victoria Petriw love living in Port Moody so much, they’ve decided to create their own line of Port Moody branded clothing they hope will help create an image for the city that connects with Millennials like themselves. ize you’re so lucky to live in a place like this.”

They let the idea stew for months, a little afraid of the energy and time commitment it might take to make it a reality.

But with the buzz about Port Moody growing thanks to Brewers Row, the arrival of SkyTrain and events like RibFest, the pair sprung into action.

They built their brand around an anchor theme to express their bond with the city, keeping them rooted in the community they love.

Petriw and Van Alstyne spent weeks shooting photos, first of themselves, then of their “attractive friends.” wearing Port Moody & Co. T-shirts and sweatshirts around town — on the pier at Rocky Point Park, at

White Pine Beach, on the floating walkway at Sasamat Lake and on Brewers Row. They said the project was all about creating a mood that would connect with millennials, like themselves, looking for a cool place to call home.

“Anybody who’s grown up in the suburbs feels defeated by this idea of moving out from home to live downtown,”

Petriw said of the growing challenge faced by young adults seeking an affordable home while still enjoying a vibrant, active, urban lifestyle as real estate prices and rents in Vancouver spiral out of reach.

“The idea you can offer that in a place that has so much to offer is huge.”

Van Alstyne said Port Moody & Co. (portmoodyandco.com)

is more than just boasting about the city as an affordable alternative to downtown living — it’s about creating an identity young adults can relate to.

“It’s about starting a conversation,” she said.

“We’re creating an outlet for people to talk about their association with Port Moody,” Petriw said, adding she’s had people approach her with their stories of growing up in Port Moody when she has worn one of her T-shirts in Vancouver.

With the online shop operating, Petriw and Van Alstyne have been busy feeding their social media channels on Facebook and Instagram with photos of their clothes in action at local hotspots like Caffé Divano, Taps and Tacos, Rocky Point Ice Cream and the breweries. That further strengthens the connection between their brand and the community it’s helping to brand.

“It’s attracting social awareness to other businesses, to promote Port Moody businesses,” Petriw said.

But even as their T-shirts help feed the buzz that’s growing around Port Moody, Petriw and Van Alstyne realize they’re creating a bit of a doubleedged sword: They could end up making Port Moody so cool, it isn’t cool anymore.

“We do tend to hold on to the whimsical past of Port Moody,” Petriw said. “Now it’s time to take it mainstream. There’s too much potential here.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

ere is a list of books that are good not only for your brain, but your body as well.

• The Dorito Effect by Mark Schatzker: I think we’ve all had the experience of biting into a gorgeous red and ripe strawberry only to wonder where the flavour was. Author Mark Schatzker asked a series of researchers, chefs and scientists this same question and received some interesting answers. It turns out there’s a reason things have a flavour. And, generally speaking, the more flavourful a piece of fruit or a vegetable is, the healthier it is. So why, then, is so much of our produce flavourless and what can we do about it? Schatzker answers this question in an easy-to-read and entertaining way.

• Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything? by Timothy Caulfield: You’ve seen the photos and you’ve read the headlines, all of them promising that you too can look like a celebrity if you only do... this. The problem is, “this” is often expensive and useless and, in some cases, actually harmful. What drives us to want to believe these lies?

Is it the easy answers or is there more to it? This book, written

by Canadian author Caulfield, looks at why we take so much of what celebrities say at face value despite their not being any more educated in these fields than many of us. This is a good look at how celebrity culture affects all of us.

class. Update your knowledge with this fun and informative guide to getting yourself in shape safely. Alex Hutchinson, a former long-distance runner, knows a bit about how to exercise safely and he shares what he’s learned in this book. This is great for both experienced exercisers, gym newbies and everyone in between.

• Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss: This non-fiction book takes a critical look at the power the fast food giants have over consumers. The amount of research fast food companies have done on what makes salt, sugar and fat so irresistible is mindboggling. This book then goes on to discuss what these companies have done with this information.

We all know that large amounts of fast food are bad for us but we eat ourselves sick anyway. This book doesn’t remove blame from the individual but it does highlight the amount of money thrown at these food products to get us to spend our limited food dollars on them.

• Tasty by John McQuaid: This book is all about the continuing evolution of our sense of taste. Like all of the other books on taste that I’ve read, McQuaid talks about how sugar is bad news for

humans. We love it because it signifies a high-energy food.

Unfortunately for us all, “highenergy” foods are now very easy to come by. The author also discusses our current environment and how in future this may impact the type of foods we eat.

This book is not quite as easy to read as some but it is an interesting look on how and why our tastes continue to evolve.

A Good Read is a column by TriCity librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Sharon Visser Araujo works at Terry Fox Library.

TRI-CITY STUDENTS

Huge scholarship for a Coquitlam student Giannopoulos to SFU on engineering scholarship

A Coquitlam high school grad is heading to Simon Fraser University with a big smile and a heavy wallet after winning an engineering scholarship valued at $100,000.

Basil Giannopoulos, a graduate of Gleneagle secondary school, has received one of the prestigious Schulich Leader Scholarships awarded to high school graduates enrolling in a science technology or mathematics (STEM) undergraduate

BASIL GIANNOPOULOS program at participating universities in Canada and Israel.

“I feel incredibly grateful having earned the Schulich

I want to hear everything!

As told by Gerry Cotter Former Air Traffic Controller “We don’t realize that we’re losing our hearing, it’s so subtle. The sound of the powder snow on your skis is there constantly. It’s surprising, when you ski without sound you don’t have the same control, you don’t hear the sounds associated with where your skis are. I simply can’t ski as well, without my hearing aids.

As an Air Traffic Controller, my career was dependent on maintaining perfect hearing. The blast of high frequency sounds through my headsets deteriorated my hearing over time. After all, like the brakes on your car, your sense of hearing isn’t necessarily missed until you need it.

Communication is the most important thing in life. You communicate every day. But I can’t do that if I can’t hear. No one can. When you withdraw, you’re left out in the quiet. Losing our ability to communicate would be a tragedy.

When I canoe I want to be able to hear the ripple of the water on my canoe. When I ski, I want to hear the shoosh of the snow on my skis. When I’m in a crowd, I want to be part of it. I haven’t got any time to waste, I want to hear everything.

I couldn’t do it without NexGen Hearing!”

Scholarship, which will allow me to focus primarily on my academics. I couldn’t have achieved this without the support of my teachers and family members,” Giannopoulos said in an SFU press release.

The high-achieving student finished high school with a perfect 4.0 grade point average and won other awards, including the Governor General’s Bronze Academic Medal.

Giannopoulos also volunteered to help young children develop an interest in, and learn about STEM-related, programs. newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

CELEBRATIONS

Baha’i book, celebration The local Baha’i community is celebrating the 200th anniversary of its faith this month.

As many as 1,300 members of the faith group live in the Tri-Cities and the local spiritual assembly is inviting the Coquitlam community to participate in an E-book that may

be published in paperback at some point in the future. The group is looking for stories, essays and poems with the theme of unity in diversity.

As well, the Coquitlam community plans to celebrate by feeding the homeless, cleaning local parks, visiting the elderly, hosting a prayer

vigil and hosting a friendship cafe at Victoria Hall.

To commemorate the 200th birthday celebration of founder Baha’u’llah, an event will be held at the Executive Inn on Saturday, Oct. 21 at 1 p.m. For more information, email info@ coquitlambahai.ca.

COMMUNITY THEATRE

Sit, Sing & Swing with Stage 43 this season Theatre group is kicking off with A Bench in the Sun JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam’s Stage 43 Theatrical Society leaves its Canada 150 series and heads into a new Sit, Sing and Swing season.

The “Sit” theme starts next Thursday with a Ron Clark comedy titled A Bench in

the Sun, directed by Stephen Torrence — the former executive director of the Port Moody Arts Centre — and starring Paul Clarke as Harold, Wayne Nolan as Burt and Nancy Ebert as Adrienne.

The play, which is at the Evergreen Cultural Centre from Oct. 12 to 15 and Oct. 18 to 21, centres on the two male characters who live in a retirement home and spend their days bickering on a park bench.

Soon, they join forces with a new neighbour (Adrienne) after learning their home is

about to be sold and they’ll be evicted.

The “Sing” component of the season features the romantic musical The Fantasticks, a story about two dads trying to separate their son and daughter; it runs Jan. 11 to 14 and Jan. 17 to 20, 2018, at Evergreen with direction by Chalene Scott (to audition for an acting role or the music crew, email stage43theatre@yahoo.ca).

And Stage 43’s “Swing” element of its season centres on The Ladies Foursome, a comedy about friendship

over a game of golf; it will be performed at the City Centre facility from April 26 to 29 and May 2 to 5, 2018, with direction

by Dale Kelly.

PoCo history book for kids Book launch set for Oct. 14 at Terry Fox Library JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

When writer Nikki Hillman was in Grade 5 at Kilmer elementary school, her class — along with dozens of others across Port Coquitlam — was asked to join an archeological dig in the south of the city.

At the time, the provincial government was getting ready to build the Mary Hill bypass and wanted to clear the land of any historical significance.

Hillman, who uncovered a First Nations arrowhead and cooking stones, remembers the experience fondly and wrote about her earth hunt as

part of a new children’s book that will be unveiled this month at Terry Fox Library.

Her story, titled Kroeker Park and the Archeological Dig, is one of 10 in Sarah and Michael Explore Port Coquitlam, a 72-page book aimed for kids aged six to eight that includes a foreword

by Mayor Greg Moore.

The idea for the children’s history book came up a few years back during a PoCo Heritage meeting. Pia Longstaffe, a member of the society as well as Art Focus Artists Association, and PoCo Heritage founder Lois Milne called on Hillman to organize the writing portion with Pandora Ballard of Tri-City Wordsmiths.

But when Milne died in 2014, the project was temporarily put on hold. see STORIES, next page

ARTS NOTES

New curator on job at Evergreen gallery Katherine Dennis is the new curator at the Art Gallery at Evergreen.

Dennis, who was previously the adult public programs coordinator for the Vancouver Art Gallery, replaces Coquitlam resident Gregory Elgstrand at the Coquitlam facility.

Elgstrand resigned from the post this summer to study for his master’s degree at UBC. Dennis holds her bachelor’s of fine arts from UBC and has her master’s of fine arts in criticism and curatorial practices from OCAD University.

In 2012, she was awarded the inaugural Middlebrook Prize for Young Canadian Curators after she curated as perennial as the grass with

Museum, at Tate Modern, which looked at art museum practices and emerging industry trends.

ART CALL

KATHERINE DENNIS artists Amalie Atkins, Brian Cauley, Katherine RuppertDazai and Ellyn Walker.

And last year, she took part in an invitational conference, Making Tomorrow’s Art

To mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Baha’u’llah, the founder of the Baha’i faith, the Coquitlam branch is inviting writers and artists to be part of its new eBook. Titled Unity in Diversity: Peace is Possible, the eBook will feature original poetry, essays and stories — up to 500 words and in any language — as well as artwork describing what diversity means to you.

POCO CHILDREN’S BOOK

Stories matched with art continued from page 23

This past March, Hillman finally compiled the stories — two each from Hillman, Longstaffe, Stefano Mazzega and Sandiq Somjee and one each from Minnie Hwang and Helene Juzda — to match with drawings from Art Focus members Nickey Bayne, Val Bordian, Teesa Christie, Beth David, Isla Lundrie, Christine Malone, Zeny Nielsen, Shermineh Razabifar, Nagwa Sabry and Longstaffe.

Their black-and-white artwork includes a drawing of downtown PoCo as well as city hall, a CP Rail train — to link to Mazzega’s story about the Royal Hudson passing through town with royalty aboard — the residential tower at Lions Park and the

flood of 1948. The book also includes a timeline of PoCo’s history from 1860 when the first European settlers arrived to present day.

Hillman said the storyline, in which the young fictional characters of Sarah and Michael follow their grandmother and her friends around PoCo, was the brainchild of Longstaffe; she also employed a font that people with dyslexia would find easy to read, Hillman said.

The group’s first printing run of 250 copies came out last Thursday — via Minuteman Press — and will be available for sale for $15 at PoCo Heritage after its official launch next Saturday.

Funding for the project came from PoCo Heritage, the Friends of Leigh Square

Society and the PoCo Community Foundation, at a cost of around $2,000. And Hillman said proceeds from the sale will go into a new scholarship fund to help pay the post-secondary tuition for a graduating arts student from a PoCo high school.

It will be available to borrow from the Terry Fox Library and school librarians are also encouraged to pick up a copy, Hillman said. “It’s very satisfying to see the finished version and I hope the community enjoys reading it.”

• The launch of Sarah and Michael Explore Port Coquitlam is on Saturday, Oct. 14 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. at Terry Fox Library (2470 Mary Hill Rd.). The contributors will be in attendance.

PORT MOODY ARTS CENTRE

PMAC FUNDRAISER

Another sellout for GNO JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The scaffolding and blue netting hugging the Port Moody Arts Centre is expected to be off next month or early December after months of renovation. The $1.19-million project by the city, which owns the historic building at 2425 St. Johns St., includes a new roof-top unit for regulating and circulating air, a new exterior stairway, replacing and repointing the chimney masonry, and cleaning and painting the structure siding to its original heritage colours of brown (it used to be city hall). The work is one of three renewal projects underway this fall by the municipality: city hall and the recreation complex are also being updated.

The Galleria at Port Moody city hall will be festooned in purple and turquoise for the 13th Girls Night Out (GNO), the biggest annual fundraiser for the Port Moody Arts Centre.

The ladies-only bash on Oct. 20 will see comedian Erica Sigurdson return for her 13th year to support the arts centre, which is hoping to bring in about $15,000 for new capital items.

Sigurdson (CBC Radio’s The Debaters, Just For Laughs) will headline the show that also includes fellow stand-up funny women Julie Kim, Robyn Edwards and Melanie Rose.

Event co-ordinator Laura Chambers said GNO will be sold out two weeks in advance, like last year. “We have repeats, and groups from the office buying six or more tickets,” she said.

Sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, the evening will start with a reception from 6:30 to 8 p.m. featuring nibbles from Pasta Polo and PoMo’s new Moody Street eatery, Taps and Tacos.

During that time, the 210 guests can mingle, bid on silent auction and raffle prizes and enjoy the beauty bar services. The comedic

Port Moody Arts Centre’s visual arts manager Janice Cotter, general manager Lois Sharpe and event planner Laura Chambers ready for the 13th annual Girls Night Out in Port Moody on Oct. 20. performances run from 8 to 11 p.m., with an intermission that will feature desserts from Gabi and Jules, a pie shop on Clarke Street.

Lois Sharpe, PMAC general manager, said she’s pleased with the community response to GNO over the past two years, given the facility’s

highly publicized financial woes and staff turnover (last year, the municipality loaned the non-profit society $45,000 to retired a line of credit and, three years prior, the city gave PMAC an $87,500 loan to design and build its atrium).

Now, “we’re back on track and thriving,” Sharpe said.

“Things are going very well.”

Coquitlam Express goalie Reid Cooper and defenceman Hunter Fraser deny a scoring chance to Prince George forward Jarod Hovde in their BC Junior Hockey League game, Saturday at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Centre. The Spruce Kings won the game — which was Coquitlam’s home opener — 5-3. The Express bounced back on Sunday, winning 3-2 over the Cowichan Valley Capitals. Eric Linell scored a power play goal early in the third period to break a 2-2 tie and gave the Express their first win of the season.

Coquitlam will try to build on that when they host West Kelowna tonight (Wednesday) at 7 p.m.

Flay taking strides with PoMo Panthers Mom keeps an eye on defenceman’s skating MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Nevan Flay didn’t grow up with a hockey stick in his hands. But he did get an early start with skates on his feet.

And that’s given the 18-yearold Port Moody Panthers’ defenseman a bit of an edge over some opponents and teammates in the Pacific Junior

Hockey League.

Flay’s mom, Anita, was a competitive figure skater and she continues to teach power skating on the Sunshine Coast as a CanPower certified instructor. So it was only natural she’d lace blades onto Nevan’s feet when he was only three years old, and the FLAY family would venture to every public skating session in Sechelt, where he grew up.

of the season, said his mom’s coaching ensured he was a skater before he was a hockey player.

“I just went out there and skated,” Flay said.

“She just walked me through how the stride should look and we worked from there.”

That’s made him more solid on his feet, conducive to his aggressive style of play as he’s able to control his centre of gravity while taking hits and throwing them.

It also saved Flay’s family

a lot of money as his mom’s counsel came from the boards for free. Still does, as a matter of fact.

“She watches most of our games,” Flay said. “When she sees something I definitely hear about it, I get a phone call.”

Those calls keep Flay continually working to improve his stride, perfect more advanced moves like spineramas and “mohawks,” where a player keeps their heels together while facing an opponent.

They’ve also honed his eye to critically watch other players in

his own league and on TV. “I try to watch their skating stride to see if I can try out that stride,” Flay said. “It’s helped me quite a bit, learning new things and trying new things.”

One of those new things is his move to Port Moody after a rookie season in Delta where he scored four goals and added five assists in 26 games. Flay said the move has been positive even though it means a longer commute to practices and games from his home in Richmond. He’s getting more ice time in Port Moody and he’s striding towards his goal of

moving up to the Junior A level.

But he knows he can’t coast.

“Everyone at this level is a pretty good skater,” Flay said.

“I’ve got to keep up and learn as much as I can.”

• The Panthers were outshot 44-26 and outscored 6-1 by the Grandview Steelers in their Pacific Junior Hockey League game Saturday at the Port Moody Arena.

TANGLED TALON

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Dr. Charles Best forward Shayla Turner gets tangled with Gleneagle Talons defender Jade Tiegen in the first half of their Fraser Valley High School Girls Field Hockey Association match, Thursday at Coquitlam’s Town Centre park. The Blue Devils won the match 3-0.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Coach’s loss ‘a huge hole’ ELAINE FLEURY PHOTO

Terry Fox Ravens’ ball carrier Jaden Severy tries to escape the clutches of Kelowna tackler Quinn Large in their BC Secondary Schools Football Association game, Friday at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam. Fox won the game 55-6. Jevaun Jacobsen scored three touchdowns and Liam Cumarasamy scored a pair to lead the top-ranked Ravens to their third straight win. Later, Centennial was beaten by St. Thomas More, 57-0, at Percy Perry.

A beloved coach who lived in Port Moody and guided the St. Thomas More Knights football team since 2000 passed away late Saturday evening.

Bernie Kully was 41 when he succumbed to the throat cancer that was diagnosed in December.

Kully took a leave from coaching as well as his duties as a teacher and counsellor at the Burnaby Catholic high school to battle the disease, but he was never far from the

sidelines. After watching the Knights defeat Centennial secondary 57-0 last Friday on his computer at home, he sent a congratulatory text to the Knights’ interim coach, Steve De Lazzari.

De Lazzari said many of the team’s defensive schemes for their game this Friday against the Terry Fox Ravens came from suggestions Kully sent him last week.

Ravens’ head coach Martin McDonnell said Kully’s pass-

ing leaves a huge hole in the high school football community.

The team will honour him with a moment of silence before Friday’s game at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam.

A prayer service for Kully is being held at All Saints Parish in Coquitlam (821 Fairfax St.) tonight (Wednesday) at 7 p.m.

A funeral mass will be held at All Saints on Thursday at 11 a.m.

TOP SALE PRICE*** Attached Detached

Condo, Townhome Sales Keep Rising The number of attached home sales in the Burnaby/TriCities region kept climbing in the week September 18-24, according to Multiple Listing Service data as of October 2.

It was a strong week for condo, townhome and other attached home transactions at 95 units, up from 84 the previous week. With detached homes putting in a more mediocre performance at 22 sales, this took the total number of sales registered by October 2 to 117 homes exchanging hands that week.

The median sale price of those 95 attached homes was also higher than the previous week, at $555,000. This median varied from $647,500 in Burnaby South (very closely followed by Burnaby North) to $482,500 in Port Coquitlam (with Coquitlam only slightly higher).

The most expensive attached home to sell that same week was a 1993-built, five-bedroom half-duplex up at Simon

Fraser University on Burnaby Mountain.

This home sold for $40K under asking at $1,228,000 after just 10 days listed.

Detached homes across the region sold at a median price of $1,260,000. The priciest home to sell between September 18 and 24 was the relatively modest $1.85 million deal on a six-bedroom, six-bathroom house in Burnaby North’s Montecito neighbourhood. This family home sold for $100K under asking after 94 days on the market.

Across the region, 60 of the total 117 homes sold for over their asking price – that’s 51.3%. However, this broke down as nearly 57% of those 95 attached homes (54 units) going for over list, compared with only six of the 22 single-family house sales, which is just 27.3%. Of the remaining 16 houses, only two sold at exactly asking price and the other 14 were all negotiated down.

Despite this, detached home sellers

And the priciest listing currently on the market? A spectacular six-bedroom house in Anmore with more than 10,000 square feet of living space and an incredible, resort-style, indoor-outdoor pool. Yours for a cool $7,588,000 – or less, if the above trend is anything to go by.

SCENIC VIEWS

seem to be optimistic in their pricing – perhaps acknowledging the trend towards accepting below-asking offers. The median listing price of a detached home in the region, as of October 2, is $1,747,000 – nearly half a million dollars above the median sale price. But this doesn’t necessarily mean sellers are over-pricing – the discrepancy can also be explain by the cluster of high-end detached homes that sit on the market for much longer, while the lower-priced houses sell and create a lower median sale price. After all, the median number of days on market for all 1,149 detached homes listed in the region is 41 days, but that goes up to 65 for $3 million-plus houses.
