Evidence suggests no physical contact with children in photographs SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A longtime Tri-Cities baseball and hockey coach faces nine criminal charges relating to child pornography and voyeurism.

Randy Downes, 59, of Coquitlam has been involved with youth sports across Metro Vancouver for more than 30 years, Coquitlam RCMP announced Tuesday afternoon.

He has coached and managed various levels of hockey and baseball since the 1990s and photographed hockey, baseball and soccer.

Investigators are now hoping to hear from parents and those who were coached by Downes to determine whether any of the images found in his computer were of those young

athletes he coached.

“It’s definitely a possibility,” said Const. Jamie Phillipson.

“Thirty years is a long time, so we want to make sure if there were any incidents in the last three decades that people have the ability to come forward to the police now.”

The evidence suggests the suspect did not have sexual contact with the children and that they did not know they were being photographed, Phillipson said. see POLICE LOOKING, page 7

MCALLISTER AVENUE FIRE

After fire, biz owners look ahead to an uncertain future in PoCo Mementoes and more lost in blaze on Thanksgiving DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Business owners are in shock after fire ripped through a block of storefronts on McAllister Avenue in downtown Port Coquitlam on Thanksgiving Monday.

Melissa Govindasamy, owner of Martha’s Bakery and Cafe, said she was alerted to the blaze by the police early Monday morning and is still reeling from the news and trying to figure out what to do next.

She and her husband, Tim Marsh, who took over the family business from Bala and Martha Govindasamy in 2012, are trying to make sense of the disaster that wiped out tables, chairs, equipment and precious art work.

Govindasamy said she grew up at the business her Malaysian-born parents started in 2002 and still can’t believe that so much of it is destroyed.

“There’s a lot of priceless things, I’m finding it hard to take,” admitted Govindasamy, who graduated from Riverside secondary in 2007.

One memento of special significance was a mirror her dad made for her mother

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Melissa Govindasamy and Tim Marsh, the owners of Martha’s Bakery and Cafe, took over the family business in 2012. Now, the couple is trying to figure out what to do next after a fire destroyed the restaurant on McAllister Avenue in Port Coquitlam. embossed with Malaysian art designs in the plasterwork. The tables were also specially designed by him.

“They worked really hard to achieve something,” Govindasamy said of her parents.

The restaurant, which served Malaysia-inspired food, was a popular spot for city workers and had painting by Art Focus artists on the walls.

Now, finding an affordable place to lease in downtown PoCo might be a challenge.

PoCo BIA executive director

Susanna Walden said she is working with the city to compile a list of possible locations and trying to offer as much support as possible.

“We have reached out to every business” affected by the fire, Walden said. “We’ve phoned and we’ve emailed, and we’re finding it’s really early days for them, they’re very overwhelmed.”

One business that seems to have recovered quickly is Serenity Health, which was offered office space across the street at Harmony Massage

Therapy.

“We’re very lucky. We’ve had a whole lot of support from the community,” said Dr. Serena Markham, who said the online appointment booking system made it easy to contact clients, although all the equipment and a beautifully decorated space have been destroyed.

Over at Sushi Koo restaurant, the future is uncertain.

Owners contacted by The TriCity News said they still hadn’t been inside the building to assess the damage.

Gillian Yardley, area man-

ager for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, whose offices were next door to the vacant Curves for Women space said staff and volunteers are making do without an office but it has been difficult, especially because fundraising mementoes were burned.

“Our little office covers a lot of territory,” said Yardley, who was working from home and from the charitable organization’s Vancouver office.

Job one, Yardley said, is to find a new location for the staff and volunteers who handle fundraising for the area that covers the Tri-Cities as well as Surrey, Langley, New Westminster, Burnaby and the Fraser Valley. (To help visit heartandstroke.com or email bcsupport@hsf.bc.ca.)

With February Heart Month rapidly approaching, Yardley said it’s critical to have a space that volunteers can work out

of. “We’re looking for a permanent home, hopefully in the PoCo area.”

However, the fire hasn’t affected any fundraisers.

Laura Dupont, PoCo’s acting-mayor, said she is hopeful the businesses and charitable foundation can re-establish, and said the community and the city are behind the owners.

“Hopefully, we can find places for the short term and get them up and running,” said Dupont, noting that it’s the second time in just over a year several PoCo businesses have been burned down. On July 30, 2015, five businesses on Shaughnessy Street were destroyed in a fire.

Meanwhile, Port Coquitlam fire inspectors are still working to determine the cause of the McAllister Avenue fire. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

WELFARE HUNGER CHALLENGE

Wilson bargain hunting to keep hunger at bay DIANE STRANDBERG

“Why do [MLAs] think $375 a month should be enough for housing when they get so much more?”

The Tri-CiTy News

Trying to live on $18 worth of groceries for an entire week is the goal of Coquitlam councillor and former Olympic wrestler Chris Wilson.

Wilson said he expects to lose a few of his 181 lb. after living on what poverty advocates say is all that’s left per week for a single person for groceries from a $610 welfare allowance — after paying rent, a damage deposit, the costs of a cellphone needed to find a job and for personal hygiene products.

Wilson took on the sevenday Welfare Food Challenge that starts Sunday, Oct. 16 as a way of raising awareness about welfare rates that haven’t been increased since 2007.

In that period, Wilson says, MLA stipends rose from $76,000 to almost $103,000 and an MLA housing allowance is five times greater than that of a welfare recipient.

“Why do they think $375 a month should be enough for housing when they get so much more?” said Wilson.

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Coun. Chris Wilson with the food he plans to eat on an $18 budget for the seven-day Welfare Food Challenge that starts Sunday.

Taking advantage of midweek sales, Wilson bought $7 worth of dry goods, such

as beans, tuna, and spaghetti noodles, sauce and a can of pineapples. He’s looking for

sales to bulk up on veggies and fruit on his remaining $11 but challenge rules prevent him

from using the food bank, cadging meals off friends or family or even taking advantage of free meals offered councillors at council meetings.

Wilson said his biggest worry is the effect being hungry will have on his energy level, remembering what it was like being a student and training and having to count calories to stay in his wrestling weight class.

“I’m going to document this, I am going to show people what I can eat,” said Wilson, who hopes the challenge will convince the provincial government to raise welfare rates.

Poverty has long been an issue for Wilson, who ran as a provincial NDP candidate for the Coquitlam-Burke Mountain riding prior to run-

ning for Coquitlam council.

It’s one of the reasons he continues to head up Tri-Cities KidSport which helps lowincome families with the cost of recreational sports.

“It’s always been a big concern of mine and while it doesn’t have a lot of relevance to city issues, I’m just doing my part to bring greater awareness to it so hopefully the provincial government raises the rates.”

Wilson plans to meet with local MLAs Linda Reimer (BC Liberals) and Mike Farnworth (NDP) to raise the issue of welfare rates and also blog about his experience on Facebook and the Welfare Food Challenge website (welfarefoodchallenge.org). dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Updated plan in works for old Fraser Mills site

NEW YEAR’S CRUISE TO MEXICO!

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Beedie Group will be bringing an updated plan for its massive Fraser Mills redevelopment to council Dec. 1, a company spokesman confirmed Tuesday at a public meeting on Maillardville heritage.

David Roppel said the plans will contain some changes but will maintain heritage details that were part of the original 2008 master plan as well as community amenities, including a public pier, a plaza and a waterfront path for pedestrians and cyclists.

Eight years have passed since the master plan and comprehensive development agreement were approved. During that time, the real estate market has changed and the property was used as a staging ground for Port Mann Bridge construction.

Roppel, who is director of residential development at Beedie Living, told a group of heritage enthusiasts the goal of the plan is to connect the “wider community back to the river, which we don’t have.”

The project build-out will move from west to east, starting with development of industrial land, including a new building for AG Hair that was approved by Coquitlam council recently.

An illustration on the planned Fraser Mills site.

Roppel didn’t confirm the number of residential towers and low-rise buildings that will be built over 20 to 25 years but said he expected more than 7,000 people will live there.

Among the changes to the area since the original master plan is School District 43’s decision not to build a school nearby; as well, BCIT has said it is no longer interested in the area for a satellite campus.

But Roppel said there will be 16 acres of park, a greenway, with an enhanced Como Creek, cycling infrastructure and possibly indoor community space.

The property owned by the Beedie Group is extensive and includes the Wastech transfer station and the former AirCare testing station site, Roppel said, but a parcel of land immediately south of United Boulevard and east of King Edward is owned by

BEEDIE LIVING

Westgroup.

According to a report to council, Beedie must submit an application to amend the official community plan and development agreement for Fraser Mills

by Dec. 1, commit to no net loss of jobs (approximately 1,500) at Fraser Mills, ensure that its industrial buildings are of a high-quality design, and commit to a high-quality public art component near the corner of King Edward street and United Boulevard.

On Tuesday, a group of heritage advocates heard that the original Fraser Mills site dates back to the turn of the 20th century and at one time provided employment for more than 1,000 people including many francophones and their descendants.

The mill was closed in 2001. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

TRI-CITY CRIME

Police looking for people to speak up continued from front page

The images related to the criminal charges were mixed in with the suspect’s professional sports photos but were taken in a public setting that meets the threshold for voyeurism and child pornography, he added.

“If there’s a specific focus on a child’s body part in a public setting, even clothed, it does meet the threshold for child pornography if you can prove that it was for a sexual purpose,” Phillipson said.

The charges were approved Tuesday morning after a six-month investigation that started with a tip from the BC Integrated Child Exploitation Unit.

In late April, Coquitlam RCMP’s Sex Crimes Unit investigators executed a search warrant at a home where they seized digital devices containing a large quantity of images of children.

Phillipson would not reveal anything about the nature of the photographs, including the ages or genders of the children pictured, nor where they were taken.

He also defended the length of time it took for police to reveal the information, even though the suspect was serving

as the president of CoquitlamMoody Minor Baseball Association and coaching teams up to and including this summer.

“Investigators conduct a continuous risk assessment and determined there was no imminent risk to public safety,” Phillipson said, noting the investigation was not divulged to local sports associations the suspect was involved with until the charges were formally approved on Tuesday.

Coquitlam-Moody, Baseball BC and BC (Minor) Baseball released a joint statement confirming they just learned of the charges. The suspect has been suspended from all baseball, volunteer and board activity, effective immediately, according to the statement, noting he has been suspended from his role as president of the CMMBA and his access to the internal Bonzi site has been revoked.

“After consulting with the RCMP, we have no information on any individual alleged victims involved with baseball,” the statement read. “Should we become aware of any individual potential victims, we will try to assist them in accessing all appropriate resources.”

The statement confirms

Downes had fulfilled the organizations’ criminal record check requirements.

Phillipson did not provide specifics regarding where the suspect was coaching and when but said investigators have reached out to Baseball BC and Hockey Canada for assistance.

“We fully expect we’re going to hear from parents and we’re encouraging that, but we’re also encouraging that if there has been any suspicious behaviour or incidents over the years that were not reported, this is the time to come forward to the police and share that information,” he said.

Downes faces four counts of making child pornography, one count of possession of child pornography and four counts of voyeurism.

Anyone with information that may help further the investigation by identifying potential victims and witnesses is asked to contact investigators at coquitlam_sex_crimes@ rcmp-grc.gc.ca or by calling police at 604-945-1550 and quoting file number 2016-9938, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or www.solvecrime. ca. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

PORT MOODY

Latest PoMo proposal gets council approval Aragon building to be slightly shorter than previous plan SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Six months and a drop in height of less than three feet could be enough for the latest iteration of a proposed development at Clarke and Moody streets.

Aragon Properties’ proposal for a six-storey building north of the Station and east of the Lighthouse buildings drew nearly 20 people to the public hearing Tuesday but the feedback was more mixed than the one held in April.

Several residents of the Station again expressed their concerns about losing their views of Burrard Inlet — many said they were told when they purchased their units that Aragon would not build something that would block those views — while some raised issues about increased density, traffic and parking woes in an already busy block.

But unlike the first public hearing, there were also several people who spoke in favour of the proposed devel-

opment, noting that increasing residential density would help reinvigorate Moody Centre from a commercial and retail standpoint.

“With more people in the neighbourhood, it will be more vibrant,” said one Station resident. “It will be a plus for the whole of Port Moody.”

Others mentioned the need for more affordable housing, particularly two- and threebedroom units that can accommodate young families, and the importance of densifying near the Evergreen and West Coast Express stations.

Shortly after Port Moody’s official community plan was approved, Aragon submitted a proposal for a six-storey building and mezzanine at 27132725 Clarke St. It went through several changes — reducing the bulk, increasing setbacks, creating a public plaza — after meetings with the land use committee and advisory design panel.

A public hearing in April drew opposition from Station residents and council refused third reading of the bylaw amendments, suggesting ceiling heights could be slightly lowered to shorten the overall building height.

Now, Aragon’s third submis-

sion did just that, reducing the 10-foot ceilings to nine feet for an overall building height reduction of about 2.5 feet.

Coun. Rick Glumac repeated concerns he raised in April, notably that the sloped lot means the building appears to be seven storeys on one end and that it does not use more of a stepped-down approach to fit in better with the surrounding buildings.

Councillors Diana Dilworth and Zoe Royer said the location near rapid transit makes it an ideal spot for densification and creating housing that’s within reach for young people entering the market. Coun. Meghan Lahti added it is important to densify in order to attract more businesses to the area.

“This is compliant with the OCP, it’s a good development across from the train station and this will bring people, density and amenities,” said Mayor Mike Clay.

Council approved third reading of the bylaw amendments, with Glumac voting against it. Coun. Rob Vagramov, who has voted against previous versions of the proposal in the past, was absent.

BC Conservation Officers are warning Tri-City residents against leaving carved pumpkins on their steps for too long because their smell could bring bears into neighbourhoods.

The tip comes as conservation officers grapple with a high number of bear complaints, which has led to a dozen bears destroyed in the Tri-Cities since April.

Insp. Murray Smith said bears won’t begin to seek their dens until November so it’s important to get rid of anything that might attract them — even delaying the setting out of jacko’-lanterns until Halloween night.

Then, as soon as the festivities are over, the pumpkins must be removed because the smell of rotting pumpkin flesh attracts bears. “It’s one more thing that keeps bears in neighbourhoods,” Smith said.

Smith also acknowledged the city of Coquitlam for being tough on people who are careless with waste, ripe fruit and other attractants. As of last week, Coquitlam had given out 1,400 warnings and issued 225 $500 tickets, he said.

he visiting royals are now long gone, leaving only distant memories, some happy snaps and some charming moments caught on video.

While here, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Catherine, visited a number of tourist spots, such as the Okanagan and Victoria, B.C.’s lovely capital city. As well, during their visit last month, they did not shy away from some challenging issues.

By visiting remote areas of B.C., they shone the spotlight on B.C.’s relationship with the First Nations people.

When they flew over the protected Great Bear Rainforest, they highlighted the importance of protecting important B.C. forests.

And when they visited Sheway, a charity for struggling moms on the Downtown Eastside, they reminded people of what is needed to lift people from poverty.

We have yet to hear what taxpayers will shell out for this visit — the couple’s 2011 tour reportedly cost $1.2 million — but the good will brought by these positive ambassadors should in large part make up for these costs.

The healthy trinity: watersheds, people and salmon AS I SEE IT

or many, fall evokes images of rivers teeming with salmon. In truth, it’s often painful to witness the plight of these iconic harbingers as news on Fraser River sockeye — and too many other Pacific salmon — is increasingly grim.

It’s not all bad but, given the nearly irresistible walls of self interest and burgeoning population growth, maybe salmon conservation has always been a rearguard action.

Thus, it has becoming increasingly apparent that we need a paradigm shift in how we go about protecting our values. Ironically, the key to improving the prospects for wild salmon — and ourselves — may lie in appealing to self interest. Let’s start by paying more heed to the links between the health or well-being of our watersheds and the people who live in them — that’s you and me.

Although we have long known that our health is critical to our sense of well-being, only recently have we been deluged by a tsunami of scientific evidence showing that healthy watersheds also produce many “services” that improve our own health.

It’s a no-brainer that trees along and in rivers are important to salmon. Health scientists are now amassing

evidence that trees also provide us with many health benefits. By pricking and probing an army of compliant volunteers, scientists have shown that spending time in nature may vastly improve our health.

Indeed, the list of “nature therapy” benefits reads like the platinum offering of the world’s foremost, but free, private clinic: lower blood pressure, stress levels, and heart rates as well as increased levels of cancer-killing proteins.

As Wallace Nichols espouses in his intriguing book Blue Mind, people are drowning in a sea of overstimulation, which exhausts us physically, emotionally and mentally.

Focused time in nature, away from constant distractions, helps free us from the “tyranny of the pre-frontal cortex,” the part of the brain responsible for most of our fatiguing “executive functions.” By temporarily immersing ourselves in nature, we may achieve a state of relaxation not unlike that sought by yoga practitioners, allowing other parts of our brains — those associated with emotions, pleasure, wonder and empathy — to take over and provide a calming effect. The result is an almost immediate reduction in stress levels, and a notable improvement in our immune systems and sense of well-being.

These benefits appear to be related to the sights, sounds and smells of nature, including both green space and water. Hospital patients who can view nature are less anxious and require fewer medications. Symptoms of stress disorders of war veterans may be reduced through waterrelated activities. Such benefits can last for days or weeks, but only if those “services” are not eroded or missing.

Accordingly, the Coquitlam River Watershed Roundtable has mapped a first-in-Canada watershed plan that links the health of key ecosystem services to measures of personal well-being, a plan that includes a road map for relieving human pressures on such services as water and green space. The plan could benefit both people — and salmon — if implemented.

Still, the task ahead is daunting. Positive change will require education, a letting-go of old ways.

Most importantly, any hope of improving the lot for both people and salmon will require mobilizing an army of citizens, sufficiently driven by self interest, who are willing to engage in a new relationship with politicians, regulators, developers, and fellow watershed residents, all in a way that respects the inseparable well-being of nature and people.

EVERGREEN LINE

The coming changes will help variety of residents The Editor, Re. “SkyTrain brings too much high density” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Oct. 5).

The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. Initial reaction was for labourers to damage new machines because, in their minds, they were taking jobs away from them.

And yet, by the 1780s, the British Industrial Revolution, which had been developing for several decades, began to further accelerate.

Manufacturing, business and the number of wage labourers skyrocketed, starting a trend that would continue into the first half of the 19th century.

Big changes are coming to the Tri-Cities with development related to the Evergreen Line, which is to open before Christmas. high-density development to Coquitlam and what does it do for the average Joe and Judy. My quick answer would be for Joe and Judy to move up country. Victorian London had its roads paved with wood. Since the 18th century, cobbled stone,

granite and, ultimately, in May 1869, asphalt were used.

Look at London now.

Undoubtedly, the more we do for our city, the better our lives will become.

Senior citizens will be able to abandon their cars and use transit system with ease

and comfort; school children and university students will gain easy and quick access to their schools and homes. The benefits are endless.

Less gas pollution, fewer hazards on the roads and no more worries about parking availability in Vancouver or its skyrocketing cost.

I personally welcome all the changes brought to Coquitlam and Tri-Cities with all my heart. And I am proud to witness these changes from the sleepy, unkempt, a bit dirty little town to a modern, vibrant and diverse city that is hard to call a suburb anymore.

I remember being quite hesitant to move from Vancouver to Coquitlam 27 years ago but I am glad to have made that move. This is home now.

‘NOT NEW’

The Editor, I cannot speak about the way the letter writer Andrew Carr was treated by the city regarding professionalism and kindness but not leaving the garbage out the night before has been a longstanding bylaw.

This is not something new.

The hefty fine is there because of the lack of responsibility by us, the people of Coquitlam. Also, if the fine were lower, people would not adhere to the law as it stands.

ASSISTED DYING

More than 65 choose assisted dying in B.C. Some Fraser staff have refused to assist on principle JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

More than 65 B.C. residents have legally ended their lives with the help of a doctor since federal assisted death legislation took effect June 17.

Fraser Health officials confirm some of those deaths have been within this region, but referred requests for detailed numbers to the B.C. Coroners Service.

“Our first request was two days after the federal legislation was put in place,” said Lisa Zetes-Zanatta, Fraser Health’s executive director for palliative care, home care and residential care. “A number of requests have come in and some have completed the service.”

Coroner Barb McLintock said it’s too soon to provide a regional or other breakdown on B.C.’s assisted deaths, which she said stood at 66 as of Wednesday.

The most high-profile case so far made public has been that of author W.P. Kinsella, who lived in Yale and invoked Bill C-14’s

assisted dying provisions Sept.

16 at Fraser Canyon Hospital.

Zetes-Zanatta acknowledged that not all doctors or nurses are willing to participate, but said that has not been a barrier to finding sufficient volunteers.

“We’re very clear, as is the provincial and federal legislation, that conscientious objection is absolutely respected,” she said. “I would never force any of our staff into doing anything not consistent with their own moral, ethical or spiritual beliefs.”

Doctors can perform the assisted death injection independently if nursing staff who would normally assist are unwilling, she said.

Zetes-Zanatta noted the World Health Organization definition of palliative care is to protect and alleviate the suffering of patients until they reach a natural death.

“The number of palliative care physicians providing this service is less than other disciplines because it’s not aligned with their philosophy of care.

That being said, there are palliative care physicians who are providing this service.”

More of the requests for assisted death come from people in the community than in hospices or palliative care settings, she added.

Why We Celebrate Community Inclusion Month October is Community Inclusion Month. And every year at this time, the Community Ventures Society (CVS) celebrates the gifts and contributions that people with developmental disabilities make in the Tri-Cities communities.

“At CVS, our vision is inclusive communities where people belong and have opportunities to contribute,”says Kevin Lusignan, Executive Director of Community Ventures Society.

“We try to give the service where the patient is,” ZetesZanatta said. “They’re usually in intolerable suffering and so to move them is really difficult.

We try to make this very much about the patient.”

Under the federal legislation, patients must be at end of life with death expected within the next six months to a year.

Only they – and specifically not youth or psychiatric patients – can make an initial request leading to more information on the assisted death option.

Usually those requests go through a family doctor, Zetes-Zanatta said, but Fraser Health will assign physicians to respond to patients who don’t have one.

“We ensure that they have had access to palliative care services and pain management services to see if we can alleviate their suffering prior to them making a formalized request for this.”

After the information provision stage, two doctors must conduct independent assessments, after which there is a 10-day waiting period before the patient can finally make the choice to die.

She said Fraser Health is now legally required to comply when patients qualify.

SHARE JOY

Kevin points to a real-world example of an inclusive community at the City of Port Moody.

“The City of Port Moody has been an inclusive employer for over 25 years, employing a woman with a developmental disability,” Kevin says. “This year, that same woman is receiving an award for her 25 years of service. Not only is she celebrating a career in which she earned a union wage; she will retire with a pension following her many years of service and dedication to the City of Port Moody.

“During her career she worked in Legislative Services, providing general office support for City Department’s including the Mayor’s office, and also worked in Library Services and the Fire and Rescue Services.”

City staff, according to Kevin, describe the woman as an important member of the team, a conscientious worker who tends her duties with a great attitude. Said one city worker: “She has made us a better workplace by giving us a greater appreciation, awareness and acceptance of those with disabilities.”

“The City of Port Moody gave this particular woman the opportunity to show that she could be a valuable employee and contribute to public service,” Kevin says. “Port Moody’s actions are a great example of community inclusion and are what Community Inclusion Month is all about.”

At the Chamber of Commerce Mayor’s BBQ this past September, 2016 Mayor Clay accepted the Employment Round Table of the Tri-Cities’ 2016 Inclusive Employers Award on behalf of the City of Port Moody, which received the award in recognition of it’s long history of inclusion in the workplace.

Community Ventures Society invites you to join them in celebrating Community Inclusion Month and asks 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.

SCARY STORY CONTEST

The deadline is next Wednesday for scary story contest Fiend, scythe & apparition are key words

Teens are invited to channel their scariest thoughts into short works of literature for the annual Scary Story Contest this fall — and they had better hurry because the deadline is next Wednesday.

To join the contest — which is a partnership between Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and The Tri-City News — Tri-Cities youths aged 11 to 18 years must write a terrifying tale and send it to the scary story email account.

A panel of gruesome judges will award first-, second- and third-place prizes to the three best entries in each age category (11 to 14 and 15 to 18) and some

of the winning stories will be featured in The Tri-City News before Halloween.

Rules for the contest are as follows: • Each entry must be no longer than 500 words.

• Writers must live or go to school in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore or Belcarra.

• Writers who submit entries must be no younger than 11 and no older than 18 on the deadline date of Oct. 19.

• Writers must include the following three words in their stories: apparition, scythe and fiend.

(Stories that do not include all three words will be disqualified. If you do not know what they mean, look them up in a dictionary.)

• Each writer must include his or her name, age, phone number and city of residence when they

submit an entry. Writers: If your city of residence is outside the Tri-Cities, please include the name of the Tri-Cities school that you attend.

• Writers must email their entries — either as a Word attachment or in the body of the message — to scarystorycontest2016@ gmail.com no later than Wednesday, Oct. 19.

Winners in each category will be given Coquitlam Centre gift cards worth $50 (first), $30 (second) and $20 (third). Some winning entries will also be published in The Tri-City News at the end of October.

Full contest details are on the Coquitlam Public Library and Port Moody Public Library websites. If you have questions about the Scary Story Contest, email librarian Chris Miller at cmiller@coqlibrary.ca or call 604-554-7339.

colleges. Significant community amenities in each of the City’s six town centres, along with a strong business community and recent infrastructure investments for both private and public, make Surrey an extremely attractive City where people can get an education, find a job, buy a home, and raise their family.

Surrey: The Future IS here

By Elizabeth Model

Since the City of Surrey adopted the phrase “The Future Lives Here,” more than a decade ago, what started as a catch phrase evolved into reality. As inter-provincial migration combined with an influx of new Canadians drawn to Surrey’s high levels of amenities, abundant job market and affordable housing options began a housing boom that continues today.

Surrey has been awarded numerous national and international accolades for its forwardlooking fiscal policies, robust business climate, strong family-friendly residential real estate and rich civic amenities. Today, those factors have combined to make Surrey one of the most attractive communities for real estate investment in the region.

Research shows that owning a home in Surrey is a more affordable option for many British Columbians, however, that is not the sole reason for purchase. The City offers the lowest average residential taxes and second lowest average business property taxes in the region.

Another opportunity that Surrey offers is the post-secondary educational schooling options including, Simon Fraser University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, along with Douglas College and numerous other private

Schools continue to be built to serve the growing student population, which is the largest in the province. Parks, walking and bicycle trails are being expanded, while the City continues to build and upgrade aquatic centres, recreation complexes and libraries, and has the largest number of artificial sports fields in the province.

Tri-City News

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

Surrey is now the third fastest growing City in Canada with roughly 1,000 new people moving into the City every month. With the constant influx of residents, local businesses and operations are benefiting greatly due to the substantial increase in population, creating a stronger economy day-by-day. Industries such as manufacturing, construction, agriculture, transportation, health & clean technology and logistics, coupled with an emerging creative sector, all have benefited due to the City’s proximity to the US border, location on the Fraser River and the large agricultural land reserves nearby.

At the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association, we welcome new business and residents to the City and are supportive of the growth as we continue to evolve. We look forward to seeing new residents join our community daily, as Surrey continues to live up to its motto. The future truly does live here.

Elizabeth Model is CEO of the Downtown Surrey BIA.

October is Community Living Month Please join us in celebrating!

HALLOWEEN

Spooky displays will open in time for Halloween fun Halloween is just over two weeks away and a number of Tri-City residents have erected or will be putting on spooky displays for the occasion, including: • 443 Draycott St., Coquitlam: Vickie Ayers’ annual haunted house, a tradition in Coquitlam, opens starting Sunday, Oct. 15, running daily through Halloween from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Entry is by donation to Variety — The Children’s Charity and the display is wheelchair accessible. If your little ones are a bit too young for serious spookiness, bring them to Ayers’ family-friendly haunted house, which includes graveyards, pumpkin patch, scary music, dancing lights, smoke and bubble machines; as well, glow bracelets and necklaces, Halloween CDs, chomping skulls and laser pens will be available to purchase, with the goal of raising $10,000 for Variety. Her goal this year is $10,000 with 100% of the proceeds benefitting Variety (last year, with money from the haunted house and other fundraisers, Ayers presented a donation of $29,500 at the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon).

• 1443 McDonald Pl., Port Coquitlam: The Lammers family will decorate their house this year, with a grave-

yard featuring handmade fences, lights and fog and, on the windows and wall, more handmade wood crafts, plus lights with ghosts and so much more. The display will be open for viewing beginning Oct. 22.

• 51 Maple Dr., Port Moody: The Hall family will use a va-

riety of lighting and sound effects to set the eerie mood.

If you will be hosting a large Halloween display, please email details to: newsroom@ tricitynews.com. The Tri-City News will publish the list a number of times leading up to Oct. 31.

THINGS-TO-DO GUIDE: OCT. 14 – 16

It’s harvest time at the market SARAH PAYNE

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

This weekend is packing some nasty weather, so it’s a perfect time to duck into a funny flick, live theatre or an artful family day.

Friday, Oct. 14 MOVIE NIGHT

The Port Moody Film Society presents In The Loop, a political satire comedy reminiscent of both Dr. Strangelove and Spinal Tap. Watch as the U.S. general and the British Secretary of State bumble their way into stopping a war between the two nations. The UK film isn’t rated; be prepared for some rather salty language. The film starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Inlet Theatre; visit www.pmfilm.ca.

BARE BEAR

We hear a lot about bears here in the Tri-Cities, but Stage 43 has a different twist on the bruins as empty nesters head to the Bear Bones Campground to reignite the spark in their marriage but end up getting an eyeful at the now “alternative lifestyle” destination.

Bare Bear Bones is at the Evergreen Cultural Centre through to Oct. 16 (returning Oct. 19 to 22). Get more info and tickets at www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

Saturday, Oct. 16 SNAP AWAY

If you love Mundy Park and snapping great photos, you’ll want to join a photo walk, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., as the city offers a free training session on how to be a Mundy Park volunteer photographer. City staff will showcase selected photos on social media and on its website, and use them for upcoming projects. For more info and to register contact jurbaniak@coquitlam.ca or 604-927-6312.

FREE SKATE

Head to the Poirier Sport & Leisure Complex for a Westminster Savings free skate from 12:45 to 3:15 p.m. Skate and helmet rentals are free. Get a wristband up to 30 minutes before the session, which is limited to 200 skaters.

FAMILY DAY

Bring the kids to the Evergreen Cultural Centre for the Westminster Savings Family Day from 1 to 4 p.m. Tour the exhibition Theatre Theatre in the Art Gallery, and bring your imagination to life by creating a miniature theatre of your own. Entry is by donation to the drop-in event. Visit www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Vernon Forstbauer, 5, checks out the harvest at his family’s farm tent at the Coquitlam Farmers Market.

The market runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for more information.

TALENT SEARCH

Catch the talent of tomorrow at the PoMo Inlet Theatre as semifinalists in the Youth Talent Search BC perform on stage in front of industry judges for a chance to win prizes. The competition for teens aged 17 to 19 gives young rising stars a chance to perform on stage in front of an audience, so stop by to cheer them on today at 2:30 p.m. and Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 at www.youthtalentsearchbc.com.

Sunday, Oct. 17 UKIES UNITE

THE ENVIRONMENT

Where the birds are in Tri-Cities & beyond GREEN SCENE

ELAINE GOLDS

I

f you are interested in seeing some of the more interesting birds that are found around the Lower Mainland but don’t know where to find them, then this is the book for you.

Published this spring, The Birder’s Guide to Vancouver and the Lower Mainland is an eye-catching, full-colour update from an earlier and much smaller black-and-white version released in 2001 by Nature Vancouver, a naturalist group.

While Nature Vancouver mainly serves the city, this book covers far more than just Vancouver. This 275-page guide also includes areas in West and North Vancouver, Richmond, Delta, Burnaby, Surrey, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows as well as our own Tri-Cities. To compile all the data, birders from Nature Vancouver relied on assistance from birders throughout the Lower Mainland including some members of the Burke

Mountain Naturalists.

What I find especially appealing about this book — apart from the fantastic photos of birds — are the informative and inviting maps of all the areas described, which clearly show access from main roads, where to park, the trail system and washroom locations.

I thought I knew most of the good spots for half-day nature walks in the Lower Mainland but this book has an enticing map of the Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park, an area I have never visited but will now that I know it exists and what birds to expect to see when I get there.

There is even a chapter on birding from BC Ferries, which is a really useful addition to this update.

Because the focus of this book is mainly on birding, only two areas in the Tri-Cities are featured: Colony Farm Regional Park and DeBoville Slough/Minnekhada Regional Park. Both of these areas are terrific sites for birding but they are, of course, not the only ones we have here. Both of these sites have a reputation among birders as being two of the most bird-diverse local sites. Port Moody’s Shoreline Park can also provide a good birding experience but I expect it was omitted because heavy trail use in this area by people and dogs has significantly diminished the possibilities for

the more quiet opportunities needed for optimal enjoyment of birds.

In addition to descriptions of 33 sites for viewing birds, this book also offers useful information, especially for beginning birders. It shows photos of almost 90 of the more unusual birds found here, such as the lazuli buntings at Colony Farm.

There are also tips on birdwatching, photography, tides and how to behave when encountering the occasional bear or cougar.

Another useful feature is the checklist of all the birds in the Lower Mainland area. which shows seasonal abundance — this is an important consideration when deciding where and when to go birding. The seasonal checklist is conveniently split into two lists: one of the common and regularly occurring birds plus a second list of the birds it can be quite unusual to see or, in birder’s parlance, the “casual and accidental” list.

To give this guide a little test, I tried to find out local information about the Wilson’s phalarope, an unusual shorebird that, according to most bird books you might consult, should not be found in the Lower Mainland. Sure enough, this phalarope was not even listed in the casual and accidental list of birds in the guide.

But the index of the guide has a listing and a quick read of the appropriate page indicates that, although not a common bird, the Wilson’s phalarope is indeed found on Iona Island near the sewage ponds every spring. (Perhaps, this was a mistaken omission from the casual/accidental list?)

Of course, every keen birder knows the ponds at the Iona Sewage Treatment Plant are a hot spot for unusual birds. I think this example shows the strength of this guide and illustrates how using knowledge from experienced local birders can result in such an informative book. It makes this guide a real go-to book not only for information about good birding sites but also exactly where and when some really uncommon birds might be found.

I highly recommend this book to birders of all levels of experience. It is now available in local stores and from popular online sources as well. And although it sounds strange, grab your binoculars and get out to those sewage ponds at Iona — after all, they are actually one of west coast’s premier birding locations.

Elaine Golds is a Port Moody environmentalist who is president and conservation chair of the Burke Mountain Naturalists, and member of the boards of the Colony Farm Park Association and the Port Moody Ecological Society.

A photo of male Anna’s hummingbird graces the cover of this new book produced by Nature Vancouver, which used local knowledge from groups such as the Tri-Cities’ Burke Mountain Naturalists to produce a comprehensive guide for Metro Vancouver birders.

Wandering danger for those with Alzheimer’s According to research conducted by Home Instead Senior Care, nearly half of surveyed family members have experienced a loved one with Alzheimer’s wandering or getting lost.

Home Instead is providing free educational materials at www.preventwandering.ca, which includes these common signs that a senior with Alzheimer’s might wander: • The disease itself: Anyone living with dementia is at risk of wandering.

This behaviour can affect individuals in all stages of the disease as long as that person is mobile — whether that’s on foot, in a car or even in a wheelchair.

Returning home later than usual from a regular walk or drive could be a sign an individual has wandered or

become lost. If an individual has wandered before, he or she will likely wander again.

• Trouble navigating familiar places: If a senior has trouble getting to and from places he has frequented for years, it’s a potential sign he could wander and become lost.

Perhaps he is unable to locate a room in the house he’s lived in for decades.

That desire to get to a certain place could prompt individuals with Alzheimer’s to go in search of where they feel they need or want to be.

• Talk about fulfilling nonexistent obligations: If a senior keeps discussing going back to work or taking a baby — who is now an adult — to the doctor, a loved one with Alzheimer’s could be at risk of wandering.

• Agitation during the late afternoon or early evening: Individuals with Alzheimer’s or other dementias often become agitated and restless, even pacing, as fatigue sets in and are at greater risk of wandering. Frequently this occurs during early evening hours, commonly referred to as “sundowning.”

• Wanting to go home when they’re already there: Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease often go looking for home when they are already there.

Reassure a loved one he or she is safe and secure.

• Unmet needs: If a loved one wants to go to the bathroom, but can’t remember where it is, that individual could be at risk of wandering. Make sure all needs are met as quickly as possible.

Tri-Cities Rotaract Club

®

In June, the Tri-Cities Rotaract Club held a dodgeball tournament at Pitt River Middle School in Port Coquitlam. Almost 50 people participated in the action-packed tournament, raising over $1200 for the Urban Native Youth Association in Vancouver.

The Tri-Cities Rotaract Club started off the new Rotaract year in July, by running the corn booth at Port Moody Rotary’s Rib Fest. Rotaract members spent three days shucking, cooking, seasoning, and serving thousands of corn cobs to many hungry customers. The Port Moody Rotary Club generously donated a portion of the proceeds from the corn booth to the Tri-Cities Rotaract Club, which will be used for future service projects.

Do you remember seeing any youth running around Port Coquitlam wearing bright blue Tri-Cities Rotaract t-shirts? On October 2nd members took part in a random acts of kindness scavenger hunt, where they had a list of good deeds to carry out around the city. Some random acts included: buying a stranger a coffee, giving flowers to a passerby, and putting away buggies at a local grocery store.

Want to learn more about the Tri-Cities Rotaract Club? We are currently accepting new members and would love to hear from you! You can contact us at: tri.rotaract@gmail.com or you can check out our facebook page or website at tricitiesrotaract.org.

Nandina Gulf Stream “turns such beautiful red shades in winter and keeps that colour until spring,” writes Brian Minter.

AROUND THE HOUSE

Some fall colour can brighten your garden IN THE GARDEN

BRIAN MINTER

A

t this time of year, vibrant fall colour just lifts your spirits and you don’t need big tall shade trees to enjoy it. Today, with so many ‘wow’ fall foliage plants available, you’ll have no difficulty finding room for some even in a smaller space garden.

I can’t make up my mind if I like a Sourwood Tree (Oxydendrum arboreum) bet-

ter in August or in October. In August, its cascades of white flowers are a treat; in late summer, its foliage starts turning red and lasts until late October — a superstar in the garden.

A little known and seldom planted tree is ‘Parrotia persica’.

It’s a smaller tree that always looks unique. see RED FOLIAGE, page 32

AROUND THE HOUSE

Red foliage popular – Purple Smoke, too continued from page 31

It has tiny red flowers in February but earns its stripes mostly in fall with truly vibrant scarlet-orange leaves.

It also has smooth grey bark that flakes off to leave white patches, making it a nice winter specimen too.

Nearly everyone plants a Purple Smoke Tree (Cotinus coggygria) in their garden.

Few people, however, plant its gold leafed cousin and that’s a shame because Golden Smoke Trees are beautiful throughout three of the four seasons. They are particularly beautiful in autumn with their multitude of sophisticated vibrant reds and oranges.

Another great plant that is neglected too often is the enthralling Enkianthus campanulatus. A mid-sized shrub with Pieris japonica-like red flowers in spring, it lights up the garden at this time of year with its florescent red foliage.

This Japanese native fits in well among rhododendrons, azaleas and heathers.

Speaking of red foliage, the Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) is the most well-known and the reddest of all reds in the fall and truly is a head

turner. It’s a great fall plant, with corky winged stems, that continues to look terrific in winter too. A compact variety is now available. It’s a must have!

One of the more unknown garden jewels is Fothergilla gardenii. This slow grower (up to 3 feet) has beautiful, fragrant bottle brush-like flowers in April and May and then in October, it throws a colour party of vibrant yellows and oranges. It’s a standout.

One unique plant that turns colour now and keeps its leaves all year round is the lovely nandina, also known as Heavenly Bamboo – but don’t panic, it’s a false bamboo, not even related to bamboos and has no spreading roots. Not really a grass, although all year it shimmers like one, it is a plant no sunny or shady garden should be without and it now comes in a wide selection of compact varieties.

If you already have some of these plants in your garden, congratulations! If not, I guarantee the addition of these plants to your fall garden will not only create a new exciting season for you but they will also be something beautiful to anticipate and enjoy each autumn. Now is a great time to get them started.

HOCKEY NIGHT IN COQUITLAM

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Cents, Ravens undefeated at halfway point 2 Tri-City teams top the standings

Two Tri-City high school football teams are undefeated at the halfway point of the AAA season.

Terry Fox Ravens hammered Mt. Boucherie 57-20 last Friday to top the standings with a 3-0 record and a +111 point differential while the Centennial Centaurs also went to 3-0 by downing the St. Thomas More Knights 14-9.

The latter game was scoreless at halftime as both teams struggled to move the ball.

STM opened the scoring with a field goal in the third quarter but the Cents drew blood on the next drive when Max Kennedy connected with Mak Stephens for a 74-yard ABOVE: ELAINE FLEURY PHOTO; BELOW: ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO

Coquitlam Express kicked off their BC Hockey League season last weekend with a pair of outings against the Langley Rivermen. Coquitlam downed the visitors last Friday night 5-4, then fell to the same squad 5-0 the next night. The Express also had a visit from members of the Coquitlam Junior Adanacs, recent winners of the Minto Cup national championship.

The Express next play tonight (Friday), hosting the Power River Kings at 7 p.m. Tomorrow, Coquitlam takes on the visiting Wenatchee Wild from Washington State, also at 7 p.m.

And next Wednesday, the locals host the West Kelowna Warriors.

Home games are at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

touchdown pass.

Then, early in the fourth quarter, Centennial’s Nic Greene ran for a 61-yard TD after a quick pass from Kennedy, who was 12 for 23 in passing, racking up 213 yards in the air (as well as one interception).

On the other side of the ball, Joe Bianchi and the Centennial defensive line created plenty of pressure all night while safety Keon Fuoco recorded one interception and led the Centaurs D with 10 tackles.

Centennial next plays tonight under the Friday night lights at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park; kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. and the opponents are from Mission secondary (1-2).

Meanwhile, Terry Fox Ravens take on host Kelowna (0-3) today at the Apple Bowl.

SOCCER

GUNNERS RACK UP WINS Port Moody Gunners gave thanks for a high-calibre long weekend in Umbro Premier League soccer action.

The local squad kicked off play last Friday, downing second-place Langley FC 3-2.

Jeff Rogers tipped in the opening goal midway through the first half, then Jack Livesey put the Gunners up 2-0 with a rocket of a strike at the 30-minute mark.

Langley replied just before the half but the second half saw PoMo hike their intensity and improve their play.

Minchan Jeon scored the eventual winner on a breakaway with 15 minutes to go, then

the Gunners held off a furious comeback effort by Langley.

On the holiday Monday in Soccer City Cup action versus Westcoast FC, the Gunners opened round-robin competition with a 2-1 victory.

PoMo enjoyed a dominant opening 20 minutes: Jeon scored just two minutes in with a powerful strike from 25 yards out and, a few minutes later, Jun Lee hit on a side volley off a terrific Nick Leonard cross.

Westcoast replied midway through the half but the Gunners were the better team on the day, with Joe Kennedy outstanding between the goalposts.
