UP, UP AND AWAY

A highrise being proposed near the Burquitlam SkyTrain station would be the tallest tower in Coquitlam, and the plan comes as city council ponders whether to rescind a moratorium on highrises not far away in Austin Heights.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Evergreen Extension will open its gates to transit riders in time for the Christmas rush.

Trains will begin rolling on Dec. 2 and bus route schedule changes will go into effect on Dec. 19, kicking off a projected ridership growth that the province expects will hit 70,000 people per day by 2021.

During the announcement at Moody Centre Station Monday morning, an excited Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay told a gathering of TransLink

officials and politicians the opening of rapid transit would have positive ramifications for the Tri-Cities and the rest of the region.

“The only thing better would have been if it were [opening] today, but we’ll take it,” Clay said.

“This is going to transform our community. It is going to help young people get back and forth between jobs around the region where they have had difficulty commuting. It is going to help us get around socially around the region… and hopefully bring more people out to the TriCities and experience what a wonderful area we have here.” see BUS SCHEDULES, page 5

COQUITLAM DEVELOPMENT

49 storeys plus 101 rental units planned for BQ Proposed building would be tallest in Coquitlam GARY MCKENNA

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Plans for what would be the tallest building in Coquitlam have been proposed for a parcel of land next to the new Burquitlam SkyTrain station.

And a hundred units of rental housing are part of the proposal.

At 49 storeys, the project at the southwest corner of Como Lake Avenue and Clarke Road would be taller than the 43-storey M3, which was completed earlier this year on Pinetree Way in the Town Centre area. The Burquitlam project, put forward by Marcon and Kevington Building Corp., will also include a 15-storey purpose-built rental building with 101 units.

Proposals for taller buildings are “happening all over the suburbs,” said Coun. Terry O’Neill, who served as acting mayor Monday night. He

COUN. TERRY O’NEILL noted that recent projects approved at Brentwood Station and Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby are even higher, some up to 65 storeys.

“These are much taller than what we are looking at here,” he added.

He also credited council and staff for the city’s housing affordability strategy, which he said is directly related to the new units of rental housing included in the project.

The strategy allows developers to request additional density for purpose-built rental units depending on building design, parking and the number of proposed units.

According to a staff report, the building’s proximity to Burquitlam Station and the bus connection to Simon Fraser University “makes this site a good location for rental housing.”

The document also noted that if the market highrise is approved, it would have 364 units and two commercial spaces in the podium of the tower. It would consist of 122 one-bedroom units, 217 twobedroom units and 25 threebedroom units.

The adjacent rental building would have three commercial spaces at the base of the tower along with 44 one-bedroom units, 53 twobedroom units and four threebedroom units.

The project’s design includes a pedestrian plaza on the southwest side of the property, with a walkway between the two buildings.

Coquitlam residents will get their chance to weigh in on the project during a public hearing at city hall on Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Council ponders lifting highrise moratorium Moratorium on Austin Heights towers since 2011

The city of Coquitlam is considering lifting a 2011 moratorium on highrises in the Austin Heights area.

The restriction was put in place following the approval of the Beedie Living tower, a 19-storey building at Austin Avenue and Blue Mountain

Street, which received considerable opposition from members of the public. The moratorium was expected to be lifted after a review of the city’s zoning policies for the area.

On Monday — five years later — council was presented with a series of options that ranged from lifting the moratorium by council resolution without any public consultation to reopening the public input process and capping some building heights.

Most councillors at

Monday’s committee meeting appeared to informally favour a middle option, which included a public hearing, potential building height limits and a review of density height scenarios, which could be completed by mid-2017.

City staff are expected to refine their recommendations and present them at a council meeting before the end of the year. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

PoCo school turns to crowdfunding to replace stolen gear Earthquake container at Irvine was robbed DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

A Port Coquitlam school with a high seismic risk rating is pleading with the public for funds to replace emergency supplies that were stolen in September.

Irvine elementary has been rated a high risk for structural failure in an earthquake and had a container full of emergency supplies and equipment on the school grounds. But one night, the locks were cut and the food, shelter, first aid

“Somebody just loaded up their truck,” speculated Geneve McNally, whose husband set up a Go Fund Me page for the school.

McNally said parents have already reached into their pockets to replace some of the stolen goods, raising $1,710, but another $800 is needed to replace all that was lost.

“So many parents have said they thought this is something the school is responsible for.

They thought it’s up to the government and school board to make sure the bin is full in case of emergency and the answer to that is ‘No,’” McNally said.

The parents are also looking to see if the school’s insurance can cover the some of the loss and have put an extra strong lock on the container to prevent future break ins. The school is also waiting for the province to fund a seismic replacement for the school. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

continued from front page

When it opens, the 11-km extension of the Millennium Line is expected to be able to carry passengers from Coquitlam Town Centre to Burnaby’s Lougheed Town Centre in 15 minutes.

TransLink officials told The Tri-City News that further announcements regarding bus integration with SkyTrain should be expected in the coming weeks.

The provincial government will hand over operations of the line to TransLink this month in conjunction with a large-scale public awareness campaign encouraging people to take advantage of the new SkyTrain infrastructure.

“We are in the home stretch and we’re looking forward to the opening of this critical addition to the region’s transportation network,” said BC transportation minister Todd Stone in a press release.

Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon said the infrastructure project will “help the middle class grow and prosper now and into the future. The Evergreen Extension will help get people where they need to go safely, efficiently and comfortably, and I am very pleased that it will be in service in the coming weeks.”

The Access youth group launches outreach at mall See page 8

The news of the Evergreen Extension opening date has Coquitlam Centre setting in motion plans to welcome more customers, beef up its parking enforcement and boost its marketing presence.

Marketing director Deborah Stetz said the Dec. 2 opening ties in with the holiday shopping season and provides opportunities to reach out to new customers.

Among the plans is to have employees in mall fashions hand out gift cards and transit passes to potential customers at Evergreen stations and pop up parties will be held at Lincoln Station — which is located in the northeast corner of the mall parking lot — to welcome customers.

“It’s a marketing campaign with a lot of interaction with potential customers,” said Stetz, who said the mall will also be targeting New Westminster and Burnaby customers.

Part of the message will also be to encourage people to take transit to the mall, especially during the busy shopping season before Christmas.

A parking enforcement plan will also be rolled out to make sure people don’t park and leave the mall to take SkyTrain.

Stetz said some of the marketing will encourage customers to “skip the parking hassle.”

“It’s much easier to pop on the Evergreen Line and come here to do the Christmas shopping especially in the last three weeks before Christmas. It’s really nice to have that option.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

TRANS MOUNTAIN PIPELINE

New pipeline review flags tough questions Panel re-floats idea of alternate oil terminal JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

A separate federal review ordered into Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning has flagged a series of tough questions for Justin Trudeau’s government as it prepares to render a final decision.

The ministerial review aimed to address gaps in the previous National Energy Board review of the $6.8-billion project.

The Trudeau Liberals had denounced the NEB process as flawed during the federal election but environmental groups have viewed the subsequent review as an exercise aimed at papering over the problems to allow federal approval of the project.

Instead, the new report grimly paints the “enormity” of the decision ahead in stark terms, pointing to “two solitudes” of divergent opinions in risk-averse B.C. and job-hungry Alberta.

That final decision is required by December on the recommendation by the NEB that the project proceed, on the basis that its benefits to the country as a whole outweigh the impacts and risks.

Key questions, the review found, include whether the pipeline expansion can be reconciled with the Liberal government’s new climate change commitments, as well as aboriginal rights, particularly in light of Ottawa’s embrace of a UN declaration of indigenous rights to “free, prior and

informed consent” on major projects.

Given the changing economics of the project – the price of oil has plunged since Trans Mountain was proposed – and changing government priorities, it asks, how can Canada be confident that the rewards do outweigh the risks.

Likewise, it questions how policy makers can reconcile loosely defined concepts such as “social licence” and the “national public interest” that might be cited to override fierce local objections.

The panel that reported Thursday to Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr consisted of former Tsawwassen First Nation Chief Kim Baird, former Yukon premier Tony Penikett and former Alberta government official Annette Trimbee.

SOCIAL LICENCE

Intense protests are expected in B.C. if the Trudeau government proceeds to grant final approval.

On the issue of social licence, the report reminds the prime minister of his words – from 2013 – that “government grant permits, but only communities grant permission.”

The expansion would triple Trans Mountain capacity to 890,000 barrels per day and result in a seven-fold increase in oil tanker traffic through Burrard Inlet to about 35 a month, which opponents say would greatly increase the risk of an impossible-to-clean spill of diluted bitumen.

“It will be for the federal government to interpret whether there is a national public interest and whether it has the capacity to imply or engender a more broadly based social licence, even in instances when

local communities stand firmly in opposition.”

The panel did hear support for the pipeline in communities like Kamloops and Clearwater, and broadly in Alberta.

But the report underscored the “depth of concern” heard from public hearings on the B.C. coast on issues such as the increase in tankers, and accompanying risk to the environment, tourism and other industries.

Recent spills from a freighter off Stanley Park in 2015 and a fuel barge that ran aground off Bella Bella last month intensified public concern.

Inland objections included fears that a pipeline rupture into the Fraser could destroy the salmon fishery, or that a spill seeping into aquifers in the Fraser Valley could make ground water undrinkable.

ALTERNATE ROUTE

The report also raised for reconsideration the idea of abandoning the Burnaby terminal and the need to run tankers through Vancouver harbour, and instead have the pipeline end at Deltaport or divert south of the border at Abbotsford to Cherry Point in Washington State.

“Government must decide whether the Trans Mountain pipeline is a worthwhile risk – and whether its current route is the right one,” the report says.

“If approved, what route would best serve aquifer, municipal, aquatic and marine safety?”

The idea of an alternative terminal came up frequently, with multiple presenters suggesting the 60-year-old pipeline’s current route to Burnaby is a “historical accident” not a first choice.

Local officials head to Korea for Nov. 11 DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, School District 43 officials and Senator Yonah Martin are in Korea this week for business and to honour Canadian soldiers who died during the Korean War. And while some of the costs are paid for by their hosts, part of the costs are being footed by taxpayers.

SD43 is paying for the trips of superintendent Patricia Gartland and board chair Judy Shirra with revenue from the international education program, according to district spokesperson Peter Chevrier.

Mayor Stewart’s $2,250 airfare is paid for by Coquitlam taxpayers while the rest of the trip is sponsored, a city staff person said.

And a spokesperson for Martin said the senator paid for her airfare and hotel with the exception of two nights of hotel that were sponsored.

The delegates were invited

by Canadian veterans and the Korean government to participate in a ceremony on Nov. 11 at the UN Memorial Cemetery of Korea in Busan, Korea, where 400 Canadians are buried. The group will also watch the his-

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

The opening of the Evergreen Extension Dec. 2 is expected to bring more young people to Coquitlam Centre, prompting the mall and Access Youth Outreach Services to partner in a program to engage and support them.

Last Thursday and Friday, an outreach worker wearing a purple hoodie with an Access logo met up with about 30 youth to let them know about the program and services that might be available to them.

“We hope to not have any issues, we want to be able to have a presence as a preventative measure as opposed to waiting until something happens,” said Jerome Bouvier, Access’ executive director.

It’s a partnership that Coquitlam Centre marketing director Deborah Stetz said she believes will ensure the mall is a safe place for youth.

“We just saw this as a tremendous opportunity to add another resource for youth and their families,” Stetz told The Tri-City News.

It is far too early to say what kind of issues may arise with the opening of the Evergreen Extension — indeed, a 2014 report for TransLink’s Transit Police predicted there would be no increase of crime along the route because it runs through existing hubs.

Still, Bouvier said his organization is working with the transit police and Coquitlam RCMP to make sure they are aware of potential issues involving youth, especially vulnerable kids. Grants from the Calgary Foundation and Phoenix Truck and Crane are funding the six-month pilot and, if it’s successful, Bouvier said, Access will seek additional funding. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Sentencing hearing for Bahr is delayed Convicted of sex assault, Bahr was sick Friday GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Sentencing submissions for Saadeldin Bahr, the director of the Port Coquitlam mosque found guilty of sexual assault last summer, has been delayed.

Bahr was expected to go before B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robert Crawford last Friday but instead a note

SAADELDIN BAHR was presented to the court saying that he was in hospital. His lawyer confirmed to The Tri-City News that he

has been ill but provided no other details.

Lawyers for the Crown and the defendant will return to court Nov. 17 to set a new date for sentencing arguments.

Bahr, who is known as Dr. Saad in the community, was found guilty in July of assaulting a woman at the Masjid Al-Hidayah and Islamic Cultural Centre in June 2013. The incident occurred while he was counselling the victim, who was struggling with depression. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

after 6 p.m., two men were fighting over a parking issue outside the complex in the 2500-block of Shaftsbury Place.

The “heated argument” drew several more people outside, including one resident who didn’t appreciate all the ruckus.

The man fired three shots in the air in an attempt to break

up the fight; he was taken in to custody when Coquitlam RCMP arrived.

“Early reports are that it was potentially a bear banger but police are continuing to investigate,” said Const. Jamie Phillipson. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Abbotsford senior secondary school was the scene of a horrific attack last week in which two teenage girls were stabbed and one, Letisha Reimer, died from her injuries.

SCHOOL SAFETY

Watch kids in wake of stabbing: SD43 through news or social media.

Thirteen-year-old Abbotsford senior secondary student Letisha Reimer was killed and a 14-year-old friend injured in what police have described as a random attack. Following the tragedy, police and school officials in Abbotsford asked media outlets and individuals to stop circulating videos of the incident.

In the letter, Gartland recommended parents be aware of the physical symptoms of trauma, monitor their child’s

media exposure, especially for younger children, and seek additional support from community agencies if necessary.

“We can assure you that we take the safety of all our students very seriously,” Gartland said in the letter. “Incidents like these remind us of the importance of all our protocols, which we have in place to ensure the safety of students and staff.

Please know that we remain mindful, caring and vigilant.”

School District 43 is urging parents to be alert to signs of distress from children exposed to media reports of last Tuesday’s stabbing incident that led to the death of one Abbotsford high school student and injured another.

In a letter to parents, SD43 superintendent Patricia Gartland told parents that schools are safe and offered tips to help them support their children in the event that they are feeling emotional trauma from hearing about the event

OUR OPINION

Waiting for seismic news E

nough, already!

We get that the BC Liberal government wants credit for spending money to maintain the province’s schools. But it’s time the province stop sending press releases about small pots of money that are being spent on things like roof repairs and flooring upgrades — work that should be going no matter who is in power and doesn’t require the additional spotlight of media coverage.

What really appears to be going on here is a fullout campaign to distract voters who might nod and congratulate the province on yet another round of boiler replacements when many schools needing seismic rebuilds are put on the back burner.

We can hear it already: Oh, those entitled parents, demanding earthquakeproof schools. Yet another special interest group seeking a government hand out.

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

Parents from Port Coquitlam’s Irvine elementary are concerned about the school’s safety in an earthquake.

But that’s just not the case. In Port Coquitlam, two schools are on the list for replacement because they are considered at high risk — high risk — for structural failure in an earthquake.

Yet for some reason, they languish on the to-do

list even though Irvine elementary was identified as early as 2012 as a priority school by the province while Minnekhada middle, which also needs to be rebuilt, has been waiting for years to get the go-ahead.

What’s a Tri-City voter

email: newsroom@tricitynews.com phone: 604-472-3030 www.tricitynews.com/opinion

to think? We know what the BC NDP leader thinks.

Last week John Horgan said the province is playing politics, suggesting PoCo schools aren’t getting rebuilds because they are located in the riding of an NDP MLA, Mike Farnworth.

We don’t think the province is playing favourites with child safety but as long ago as April 2015, when Farnworth brought up the issue in the B.C. legislature, he was told by Peter Fassbender, then the education minister, that the ministry had just received a final plan for Minnekhada school.

Since then, nothing for Minnekhada, and Irvine parents are worried, too, that their school’s seismic rebuild isn’t getting the attention it needs.

So until the press releases announcing funds for those two schools have been released, all other news about minor repairs will go immediately to the trash.

YOU SAY “I have so much respect and gratitude for all the people whom have dedicated so much time and care into saving salmon streams.”

PIPELINE EXPANSION

Pols with poppies Pipeline scholarships don’t help our vets are ‘outright bribery’ MARY NESS PHOTO

While people remember those who died in war, politicians don’t help Canadian veterans, the letter writer argues. veteran of the Afghan war the right to lay a wreath on Nov. 11 to honour and commemorate the death of five of his comrades who were killed in action in this war.

The explanation for this decision? This privilege of laying a wreath is given solely to politicians and “dignitaries.”

So in other words, a veteran

isn’t considered a dignitary at the very event honouring his contribution and sacrifice to his country?

At the risk of sounding totally un-PC and bigoted, if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau showed only half the amount of compassion to our veterans as he did the thousands of poor unfortunate Syrian immigrants he brought to Canada, the vets’ circumstances wouldn’t be so dire.

We have vets suffering from physical and mental health issues not getting proper care. We have veterans who are homeless and/or unemployed not getting any help from government agencies.

We, as a nation, are to blame for allowing our politicians to continue this generational abuse of our veterans.

They are truly the “disposables” of our society — send them to war then ignore and scorn them when they are no longer needed or useful.

Neil Swanson, Coquitlam

The Editor, Re. “$300k for local kids has strings attached” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 4).

How dare Kinder Morgan Canada (a subsidiary of a U.S. company) try to buy our goodwill for promoting a pipeline.

They may have forgotten that they are not operating in the U.S., where that may be

successful with giving $15,000 per year for scholarships. I think this is outright bribery and we should reject it out of principle.

The only reason for pipeline approval should be its merit.

They have operated a pipeline through this city for a long time without supporting the local community.

Remember, this is a U.S. corporation, so final profits and control come and go south.

Why should we give them any goodwill now that they need lots of it to pass approval? I suggest they lose a portion of their score as a student would should he attempt to bribe a teacher.

John de Jong, Coquitlam

ROAD SAFETY

Sign on United doesn’t help drivers The Editor, Driving south on Mariner Way and turning left at the light at the bottom of the hill, one route option is on an overpass that connects to United Boulevard. A short distance ahead is a yellow and black road sign indicating traffic should merge to the left lane.

Surprise! The left lane ends without warning nearly as soon as a driver moves into it.

After an extremely annoying

series of buck passing in July, I was able to determine that the Transportation Investment Corporation of BC was responsible for road signs in this area.

At that time, I informed them of the problem and they agreed it was an incorrect sign and would be corrected.

As of a recent visit, this invitation to disaster remains unchanged.

Personal experience at that location has resulted in being

the recipient of much honking of horns, shaking of fists and, yay, verily, upward thrusting of stiff middle fingers as drivers puzzle out who is to merge where. Quite probably fender benders or more serious collisions have occurred because of this sign.

The lack of action brings to mind some old saying about something being “as slow as molasses in December.”

The Editor, It’s Remembrance Day Friday — or Political Hypocrisy Day, as I like to refer to it.

You know what I mean: The day politicians try to outdo each other to show their patriotic duty to our veterans by being the first to wear a poppy on their lapel. I swear some of these politicians will be sporting them in September.

Or the spectacle of them tripping over each other to lay a wreath at a cenotaph — the perfect photo op to include in their newsletters to constituents.

And then on Nov. 12, the poppy gets thrown into a drawer and soon forgotten, as are any obligations or duty these politicians owe to the veterans who have served and died to keep Canada the great country it is.

This hypocrisy is exemplified by the disgusting decision on the part of the Legion in New Brunswick to deny a

Charges against mom in Amber Alert

The mother of two Port Coquitlam children who were the subject of an Amber Alert issued Friday afternoon is now facing two abduction charges.

The province-wide alert was activated after the children were allegedly taken by their mother from a PoCo elementary school shortly before 2 p.m. on Nov. 4, with police noting there was “reasonable concern for the safety of the children.”

They were located at a gas station in Sicamous, mid-way between Kamloops and Revelstoke, at 9 p.m. that evening and the mother was taken into custody; it’s believed the children are back with their father.

Coquitlam RCMP Const.

Jamie Phillipson said police are still investigating how the woman was able to get her children out of school early given there is a court order in place that does not allow her to have custody of them without supervision.

“There are a number of scenarios of how she’d be able to get her kids…that part of the investigation is still ongoing.”

The mother, who can’t be named due to a publication ban to protect her children’s identities, was scheduled to appear yesterday in B.C. Provincial Court in Port Coquitlam.

CAMPING IN B.C.

Reservation upgrades for campers in B.C. Government tries to address variety of complaints KATYA SLEPIAN BLACK PRESS

The B.C. government hopes new changes will make opening-day reservation madness a thing of the past for the 2017 camping season.

Starting in January, the province will eliminate an opening day for reservations to avoid the delays and crashes in the online Discover Camping booking system. Instead, campers will be able to book sites four months ahead of their desired dates.

“We want to make sure the campsite reservation service is doing its job as effectively and efficiently as possible. We know British Columbians want

spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

a reservation system that is fair, and that they have just as good a chance of securing a campsite as the next person,” said Environment Minister Mary Polak.

The changes are in response to a record-breaking camping season last year, where sites were booked up far in advance and many people were left. Others complained that people were snapping up campsites and then re-selling the reservations for a profit. Forty-six such incidents were reported to B.C. Parks last year.

The government says it’s cracking down on reservation resellers. From now on, when a campsite is reserved, the guests will have to provide one or two permit holder names, and at least one permit holder will have to be on site, with identification, throughout the stay.

The province is also launching a pilot project to shorten the maximum number of nights you’re allowed to stay in five popular campgrounds during peak season. They are: Martha Creek (near Revelstoke), Mount Fernie (near Fernie), Porteau Cove (near Vancouver), Loveland Bay (near Campbell River) and Ellison (near Vernon).

More than 185,000 reservations were made last summer, up to mid-September, with close to three-quarters coming from B.C. residents. The second highest share is from Alberta at 14%, the U.S. accounts for 3.6%, the rest of Canada 2.8%, and all European countries combined are 6.6% of the total.

Just over half of the approximately 10,700 provincial campsites in B.C. can be reserved in advance. @katslepian

Do you have good hearing but maybe not as good as it used to be? if hearing aids are put off for too long, it can cause long-lasting speech understanding difficulties.

Many people find themselves frustrated when they can hear, but not understand speech. Hearing loss can develop gradually where people do not realize they even have it and even mild cases can lead to difficulties with processing speech. Fortunately, through Swiss based technology, modern hearing aids can help by stimulating the auditory centers of the brain responsible for speech understanding.

Understanding speech is a necessary part of communication and hearing loss has been proven to limit our daily interactions. Do you rely on visual cues (e.g. reading lips) or are you applying more effort while listening? Maybe you are completely avoiding difficult listening situations all together? If so, these are common signs of hearing loss and it is important to understand the cost of untreated hearing loss. Did you know that untreated hearing loss can cause the auditory nerves and auditory cortex of the brain to not be stimulated properly? The technical term for this is “auditory deprivation.” People who suffer

WWW.TRICITYNEWS.COM

The new Audéo B-R hearing aid helps stimulate the auditory centers of the brain that are important for processing speech. from auditory deprivation often have difficulty processing speech.

Research shows that the longer an ear goes without hearing, the greater the effect of auditory deprivation can be. Hearing aids may prevent auditory deprivation as they provide stimulation to the auditory nerves and auditory cortex. Further, the speech understanding abilities of some people improve with hearing aids (recovery from auditory deprivation). However,

Auditory deprivation may be prevented for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology allows hearing aids to automatically adapt to any listening environment, making it easier to understand speech while providing appropriate amplification needed to stimulate the brain. The rechargeable system is easy to use and provides 24 hours‡ of hearing with only one charge.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to not only improve hearing, but also to enhance the clarity of speech. We are particularly interested in candidates who find understanding speech to be difficult and can benefit from a free trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

TRI-CITY CHARITY EVENTS

Buy a tree at Crossroads’ 23rd Treasures of Xmas JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

Four Giving Trees are on the block at next week’s Treasures of Christmas gala, a fundraiser to support the Tri-City-based Crossroads Hospice Society.

And organizers say the four trees sold at the live auction will offer a win-win-win for the nonprofit group, the purchasers and the beneficiaries.

The Giving Trees will be up for grabs during the 23rd annual gala on Nov. 19, with Crossroads reaping the proceeds, the buyer getting a tax receipt and four charities each receiving a bit of special cheer during the holidays.

The ornately decorated trees will be placed at: Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice (sponsored by Rose Miller); Zajac Ranch for sick kids (sponsored by Drysdale Bacon McStravick); New View Society

for mental health (sponsored

by Dominion Lending Centre); and in the home of a single mother with four kids (sponsored by the Roberts family).

The home for the Family Giving Tree was recommended by the Tri-City Transitions Society, a non-profit group based in Port Coquitlam that helps women and families impacted by violence and abuse.

“The Giving Trees are really our focal point for the gala,” said Shelly Pennington, Crossroads’ special events and support volunteer co-ordinator. “We see it as paying it forward in the spirit of Christmas.”

Last year, the fundraiser brought in $110,000 for Crossroads’ operations.

Organizers hope to beat that number with other live auction items such as a craft beer tour, an Okanagan getaway, a Las Vegas package and sports tickets.

HEROES

Armistice and history marked on Nov. 11 This is the latest installment of a series of columns produced by the Coquitlam Heritage Society to coincide with the city of Coquitlam’s 125th birthday this year.

The columns are being published every few weeks until the end of the year.

In its early days, Armistice Day was a celebration of victory, country and Empire.

But First World War veterans advocated for shifting the focus of the day to the horrors of war and the sacrifices of soldiers lest we forget why we strive for peace.

The first official armistice celebration was reportedly held

by King George V of England at Buckingham Palace on Nov. 11, 1919. This date marked the first anniversary of the armistice treaty signed by Germany and the Allied powers to end WWI. Days of remembrance were already occurring throughout the Allied countries, so the idea of an official holiday quickly caught on.

In Canada, Armistice Day was set to the Monday of the week of Nov. 11 every year. But, from 1921 to 1930, Thanksgiving took place the same day. Many veterans and veterans’ groups were not happy with this conflict. After successful advocacy for both a change in date and purpose, Thanksgiving was moved to a different date and Armistice Day was renamed to Remembrance Day. Rather than celebrating political and military victory, Remembrance Day called attention to the experiences of veterans and casualties of war.

Even before WWI, poppies were associated with death and

renewal. Their association with WWI and remembrance is due in part to their extensive growth in Flanders and other key fronts. Disturbances of the soil from heavy machinery, artillery and troop activity caused dormant seeds to begin growing anew, flooding battlegrounds and cemeteries with red flowers.

the Royal Canadian Legion, the government of Canada and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in 2000. The burial honours the tens of thousands of Canadian soldiers whose gravesites are unknown.

The man in the tomb is a Canadian soldier from WWI and possibly a casualty of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, although his personal information is lost.

The War Graves Commission’s principles typically do not allow repatriation of remains for a number of reasons, including the prohibition against disturbing war graves in the Geneva Convention. A one-time exception was made for the creation of our national Tomb of the Unknown Soldier because of its historic and symbolic significance.

STUART THOMSON/CITY OF VANCOUVER ARCHIVES

Armistice Day ceremonies at the cenotaph in Vancouver.

This phenomenon is what inspired Canadian soldier JoŸ McRae’s 1919 poem “In Flanders’ Fields,” whose popularity spurred on the adoption of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance and armistice specifically.

In more recent times, Remembrance Day has come to include the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, created jointly by

MAJ. JAMES SKITT MATTHEWS/CITY OF VANCOUVER ARCHIVES

Officers and civilians on Granville and Georgia streets on Armistice Day.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we will remember them.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Coquitlam library exhibit offers glimpse into lives of soldiers What might a young Coquitlam rancher have written to his family from the war front 100 years ago?

What was the experience of a Punjabi immigrant who enlisted in 1915 to fight for his new country?

Marking the centennial anniversary of the First World War from 2014 to 2018, an exhibit running throughout November at Coquitlam Public Library’s City Centre branch offers a glimpse into the lives and sacrifices of four Canadian soldiers.

The project grew from an ongoing partnership between the city of Coquitlam archives and Douglas College, and ties into the national Lest We Forget program by Library and Archives Canada.

With assistance from city archivist Emily Lonie, students of Douglas College history professor Ashleigh Androsoff explored archival military service files to develop moving and powerful visual interpretations of the soldiers’ experiences.

The exhibit features artwork and memorabilia that commemorates the following soldiers:

FREE SKATE November 11 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM Coquitlam Recreation Centre on Poirier Street, Coquitlam

Presented by Coquitlam Optimist Club

■ William Alexander Atkins, a Coquitlam rancher killed on Sept. 27, 1916 at age 19;

Admission and skate rentals are free

■ Edwin Arthur Rand, a New Westminster student killed in the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917;

Skaters are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for donating to share’s Tri-City Food Bank.

■ Filip Konowal, a Ukrainian immigrant and lumberjack who was awarded a Victoria Cross at the Battle for Hill 70 and survived the war but was never reunited with his family; ■ and Waryam Singh, a Punjabi immigrant

The event is part of Optimist Youth Appreciation Week, held annually to recognize the positive contributions of young people to our community

and labourer who fought for his new country despite not having full citizenship rights.

Coquitlam Public Library will be closed on Remembrance Day but open regular hours for the remainder of the weekend and November.

The Tri-City News looks at what’s happening with B.C. salmon & local streamkeeper groups that advocate for them

PART 6: HYDE CREEK & THE PEACHMANS

From salmon newbies to Hyde’s keepers SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

H

yde Creek is teeming with salmon right now as thousands of coho and chum work their way upstream to spawn in their final days.

It’s a far cry from the creek of about 30 years ago, when those looking for signs of salmon life were hard pressed to see much of anything.

And much of that success has been at the hands of dedicated volunteers led by Shane and Jean Peachman.

They are the president and secretary, respectively, of the Hyde Creek Watershed Society, a group that grew from a handful of Port Coquitlam residents tending a makeshift backyard hatchery in the 1990s to a registered society with dreams of a proper facility in the early 2000s.

The Peachmans came on board in 2003; Shane had just retired from a career in highrise construction and immediately began calling in favours.

“Nobody escaped,” Jean recalled, smiling.

Everything from pipes and plywood to the large decorative salmon on the walls was donated.

The small group put a name to their dream — the Hyde Creek Education Centre and Hatchery — and, with a focus on teaching everyone they could about salmon and the need for a healthy watershed, managed to raise $400,000 in three years.

And as the salmon came home in the fall of 2005 so did the society, holding the first

Little did Shane and Jean know, however, that their own education was just beginning.

Originally from Ontario, they admit to knowing very little about salmon when they arrived in B.C. in 1971.

“I’ve always been a fisherman and outdoorsman, so it was kind of natural to be wandering the creeks and trails,” Shane said.

“But we weren’t salmon people because we didn’t grow up here,” added Jean. “It’s been a bit like osmosis.”

The duo got up to speed quickly, though, and often share the role of field trip leader and salmon educator for the nearly 230 classes that visit the facility each year.

These days, they put in 20hour weeks at the education centre, and twice that during the busy fall months for school visits, festival preparations and hatchery operations.

It’s not always smooth sailing, however, despite the significant growth in salmon returns at Hyde Creek since the 1990s. A decade ago, the group faced more urban pollution challenges — people dumping paint, garbage and pool chemi-

cals into the creek — but those catastrophes have fortunately dwindled thanks to community education efforts, Jean said.

More recent difficulties have stemmed from development further up Burke Mountain, which despite the best intentions of storm water management plans, has altered water flows into the creek system from a steady trickle to periodic deluges, causing fluctuating water levels and bringing sand and silt into the stream.

Changes in the weather, particularly with hotter springs and summers, means Hyde Creek can dry up entirely in some areas and force volunteers to

The 17th annual Hyde Creek Salmon Festival will be held this Sunday. The family-friendly event gives visitors of all ages a chance to observe salmon up close and learn about their life cycle through in-stream demonstrations care of DFO and even a salmon dissection. Children will enjoy live entertainment and activities, and there will be plenty of displays and interactive exhibits along with a fundraising salmon barbecue, burgers, hot dogs and salmon chowder and chances to win prizes.

But the tremendous volunteer work is paying off, visible in the populations of chum (in the thousands) and coho (in the hundreds) returning to Hyde Creek in remarkable numbers, said Maurice Coulter-Boisvert, the Fisheries and Oceans Canada advisor in this region.

“Without the dedication and tireless work of the

Financial confidence looks good on you

Peachmans, Hyde Creek would not be the crown jewel that it is in our community,” said PoCo Coun. Brad West, who chairs the city’s sustainability committee. “Because of their efforts, so many people have been educated about the importance of our watercourses and wild salmon, and thousands more have enjoyed an enhanced Hyde Creek.” spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Have a bloody good visit to Japan through crime novels A GOOD READ VIRGINIA MCCREEDY

O

ne of the joys of reading translated novels is getting whisked away to another part of the world. It is also interesting to see how another country approaches a familiar genre. Here are a few mysteries written by some household names in Japan: “Which is harder: devising an unsolvable problem, or solving that problem?” Right from the beginning, readers of The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino know that Yasuko Hanaoka is the murderer. They saw her strangle her abusive

ex-husband with an electric cord. Readers also know that her neighbour, Tetsuya Ishigami, offered to help her get rid of the body. But knowing the identities of the culprits does not take away from the nail-biting suspense that Higashino has laid out for us. Turns out Ishigami is no ordinary high school math teacher.

He is somewhat of a genius who spends his leisure working on unsolvable math problems. In the short few hours that followed the murder, he has provided Hanaoka with the perfect alibi story and a backup plan, and a backup to the backup. Only until the last few pages of the book will the full brilliance of Ishigami’s plan be revealed, and will we understand the meaning of the title.

RESTUARANT

In the novel Out, Yayoi Yamamoto does not have a mastermind to devise a foolproof plan for her when she murders her husband in a fit of rage after discovering he has gambled away all their money. She does, however, have three friends who work the same night shift at the bento box factory, and they have agreed to help her make the body disappear. Their sloppy plan, if one could call it a plan, falls apart almost immediately and spirals into a disaster. They were watched, followed and interrogated, not only by the police but also by other unsavoury characters who are looking to profit from the situation. These four desperate women have no choice but to persevere on the

dark path they have started on.

Out, by Natsuo Kirino, is decidedly not for the faint of heart — repeat: NOT for the faint of heart.

The Silent Dead by Tetsuya Honda is the first of many novels featuring homicide detective Reiko Himekawa but is the only one so far to be translated into English. Himekawa is a 29-yearold woman who has risen to the rank of a lieutenant with no family relations or connections, which is almost unheard of in the Japanese police force. As a result, she is bombarded with sexist and ageist discrimination on a daily basis. Her “intuition first, evidence later” approach also grates on other officers, especially when, more often

Health benefits of Thai Curries Thai cuisine is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. Of course, it's already known that many of the fresh herbs and spices used in Thai curries have immune-boosting and disease-fighting power.

Here are some other benefits from a few of the ingredients: Turmeric - Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is known as an anti-inflammatory agent, helping to relieve allergy symptoms as well as arthritis. It also improves circulation and protecting the heart.

Galangal - This relative of ginger has many of the same health benefits, most notably its ability to aid with digestion.

Lemongrass - This fragrant lemony herb is used extensively in Thai cooking.

It is very good at relieving cold and flu symptoms, which is why our soups are so popular during the cold season.

Chilies - Recent studies show that eating chillies helps you sleep better, keeps your heart healthy, and help maintain consistent insulin and glucose levels.

Coconut Milk - coconut milk is extremely healthy. It lowers bad cholesterol (LDL), while promoting good cholesterol.

FIRST PLACE It boosts immunity, fights aging and provides valuable fatty acids which most people in the West are lacking.

ANIMAL HOSPITAL WHY MIGHT MY CAT/DOG BE PEEING MORE AND/OR HAVING ACCIDENTS? The kidneys are basically filters through which the blood flows for decontamination. Kidney disease and aging reduces the effectiveness of this cleansing process, resulting in a increase in blood flow to the kidneys in an attempt to improve filtration. This results in a greater production of urine, which in turn causes dehydration and water consumption increases. Signs of advanced kidney failure can include lose of appetite, depression, vomiting, diarrhea, very bad breath and ulcers in the mouth.

For most dogs and cats early signs of kidney degeneration occur at about 10 to 14 years. A blood test and urinalysis are conducted to diagnose kidney disease and the extent of treatment is determined by the severity of kidney disease, which can range from Stage 1 to IV. DR. NENAD KARLI, DVM & ASSOC.

Stage I/II is early kidney disease, which can often be treated with a special diet, supplements and possibly medication. With early diagnosis and proper care, further kidney damage can be reduced. Often this stage of kidney disease shows no clinical signs and is only detected through routine blood and urine testing.

Stage IV is kidney failure, and is developed through long-standing kidney disease or aging.

Although kidneys are irreplaceable there is often enough functional kidney tissue that treatment can be very worthwhile. Treatment includes aggressive fluid treatment & therapy, medications, supplements and a special diet. However, occasionally even with treatment kidney function does not return.

Early diagnosis is key, please contact your Veterinarian for further details regarding kidney disease and/or increased urination and fluid consumption.

During November pets 7 years or older receive $50 off bloodwork and urine testing when they come in for a senior consult.

OXFORD

A: In certain cases, Judges can make child support payments start before the date of a court order. The reasoning behind RAVINA SANDHU these retroactive support payments is to ensure that children have the support they are entitled to, when they are entitled to it. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that parents have an ongoing obligation to provide for children based on their incomes as they change. This means that even if an agreement or court order is in place, a parent paying child support is required to provide the other parent with information about any increases to his or her income. The increase in child support can be made retroactive to the date income increased, even if that happened months or years before. However, support won’t usually be increased retroactively unless notice was given that income information was required or additional support was needed.

There are a variety of other factors that a Judge will consider before making an order for retroactive support. For example, a Judge will consider why a recipient parent has delayed a request for increased support or whether the retroactive support payment will cause hardship to the payor parent. Each case is different and time restrictions do apply. An experienced family law lawyer can advise you with respect to your obligation to pay support or your children’s entitlement to support.

than not, she is proved right.

When a body is found in a pond, Himekawa is proved correct that this is not an isolated incident as more bodies start to surface, all having the same pattern of box-cutter wounds as the first.

The detective has to join forces with another unit, headed by the misogynist Katsumata, who revels in humiliating her and in showing her how much he knows about her secret past. The Silent Dead is a well-paced and well-crafted mystery, perfect for fans of police procedurals.

Six Four by Hideo Yokoyama sold a million copies in six days in Japan. Six Four is the code name for the biggest botched operation in the history of the Japanese police. Not only did

the police let a kidnapper get away with a $20-million ransom, they didn’t even manage to save the seven-year-old girl involved. After 14 years, the case has turned stone cold but, suddenly, the term Six Four is heard in hushed conversations among department heads and the commissioner visiting the victim’s family. Why now? Mikami, a detective now working in media relations, is determined to find out, fuelled by the fact his daughter has also gone missing.

SLEEP EXPERTS Can an Oral Appliance help my sleep apnea?

An Oral Appliance is most successful for people who snore, and those diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea. They can also be used as combination therapy with CPAP in severe cases.

The mouthpiece is worn over the bottom and top teeth, like a mouth guard, and gently repositions the lower jaw forward while you sleep. By pushing the jaw forward, it creates more space in the throat and stabilizes the lower jaw and tongue. It is always important to discuss whether an oral appliance would work for you, with your physician or Specialist. CanSleep works with a Specialist, who invented a custom oral appliance used by sleep apnea patients worldwide. Consultations are free and a better night’s sleep awaits you. CanSleep also provides an over the counter mouth piece, which targets snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.

New album for jazz singer Hayes JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam singer-songwriter Jennifer Hayes is ready for a new chapter.

She’s ready to hit the jazz festival circuits, the clubs and the theatres to show the world her gift of song.

And what a song repertoire she has.

The jazz artist built up her catalogue as a music student of James Bryson’s at Centennial secondary school, while completing her bachelor of music degree at Capilano University, as a session musician and while performing alongside such greats as Jim Byrnes, Michael Kaeshammer and Dal Richards.

Indeed, it was Richards who discovered her and included her as a vocalist in his orchestra. Together, the band entertained before thousands at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, at their annual PNE concerts and at other shows.

But since the band leader’s passing on Dec. 31, 2015 — and even before that, with her children growing older and more independent — Hayes has had her eye on the future.

0 YEARS

ABOVE: PNE/RIGHT: TOM HAWKINS

Above, Port Moody’s Diane Lines and Coquitlam musician Jennifer Hayes perform with the Dal Richards Orchestra at the PNE in 2014.

Right, a photo of Hayes from her new album.

“For me, it was kind of time to do my own thing,” she said during an interview in her teaching studio last Friday.

Last year, she and producer Paul Airey, co-owner and operator of Avenue Music Productions Inc. and Sound Kitchen Studios in Vancouver, collaborated to write a new song, titled Noble Rose.

The tune struck a nerve with The 7 Virtues founder Barb Stegemann, who included it in her new documentary called Perfume War. The success of the song made Hayes want to write and record more.

With Airey’s help, she narrowed down her vast repertoire

to pick nine cover tunes for her new album — “all songs that I love the most,” she said.

Hayes also penned a tune called Little Bird, which features the background vocals of her daughter Elyse.

Tonight (Wednesday), Hayes will release her 10-track album, And So It Goes, at a concert at Frankie’s Jazz Club (765 Beatty St, Vancouver) at 8 p.m. The CD will be officially available for purchase Thursday via iTunes, Spotify and Amazon.

Closer to home, on Nov. 26, Hayes will appear with bassist Jodi Proznick and Jon Roper on guitar at Port Moody’s Gallery Bistro to promote her new CD. Hayes stressed the album is

z t i F g n i h t y r Eve

Thursday, November 17, 8pm

more “jazz influenced” than pure jazz. She offers songs ranging from the 1936 jazz standard by Duke Ellington, Caravan, to the the modern pop ballad by Billy Joel, And So it Goes. In between, she mixes plenty of positive vibes: from Dave Barbour’s It’s A Good Day to Ring Them Bells by Bob Dylan — all with her own arrangements. “They’re not all traditional jazz songs,” Hayes said. “It’s very eclectic but it’s my kind of thing.”

Now, with the album out this week, Hayes is looking forward to the release of its first video for the title track.

Already, she’s working on her third CD — a work she said will be composed of original music. Recently, she bought a guitarele (guitar-ukulele hybrid) for inspiration.

“I’m most excited to see what’s out there for me,” she said. “My dream is to play with people who I love, playing music that I love, for an appreciative audience.”

• Tickets for Jennifer Hayes’ concert with Jodi Proznick and Jon Roper at the Gallery Bistro (2411 Clarke St., Port Moody) on Nov. 26 are $30 (dinner included). Call 604-937-0998.

RCM WIN FOR PM PIANIST

A 17-year-old pianist from Port Moody scored a gold medal from the Royal Conservatory of Music on Sunday.

Markus Masaites took the national award for his top mark on the ARTClevel piano exam.

Masaites received the accolade at the RCM’s convocation and gold medal ceremony at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts.

The ARCT (Associate of The Royal Conservatory) is a professionally recognized diploma in performance, theory or pedagogy that is awarded upon completion of The Royal Conservatory Certificate Program, the organization’s acclaimed system of music study and assessment.

In June, at Performing Arts BC in Fort St. John, Masaites — representing the CDMF Performing Arts Festival — was named the winner of the senior piano category (last year, at the Powell River fest, he scored the top prize for Intermediate Piano).

Meanwhile, two other Tri-City residents earned RCM awards for clinching top marks in B.C. Christen James (Level 5 voice) and Audrea Wang (Level 7 cello) were acknowledged at the Chan Centre.

SING, SONG

Tri-City residents with speech difficulties can be part of The Singing Project, which next meets Thursday in Port Coquitlam.

The PoCo branch of the Stroke Recovery Association of B.C. hosts the Nov. 10 meeting from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in the Michael Wright Art Gallery at Leigh Square Community Arts Village.

Cellist Beth Root Sandvoss joins pianists Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann in Coquitlam on Nov. 16. Call 604-927-6555 for tickets.

Cellist Beth Root Sandvoss will bring her deep-sounding strings to Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre next Wednesday morning for its second salon-style show of the season.

Sandvoss will play in a concert called Blue Autumn with pianists Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann, who are leading this year’s Musical Mornings series for founder and fellow pianist Sarah Hagen.

In the recital, Sandvoss will perform Blue Autumn, a piece she commissioned Marcel Bergmann to write for her a

decade ago.

A Wisconsin native and Calgary resident, Sandvoss has led an international career.

She was with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and Victoria String Quartet, which toured Asia. She then completed her graduate studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music and in San Francisco.

In Canada, Sandvoss regularly collaborates with such musicians as Ian Swenson, Barry Shiffman and Francois Houle, a clarinetist who appeared on Hagen’s Musical Mornings circuit last year.

A founding member of the Juno-nominated Land’s End Chamber Ensemble of Calgary, Sandvoss is also a member of the University of Calgary String Quartet. Sandvoss’ performance in Coquitlam on Nov. 16 is the last of the calendar year for Musical Mornings: In February, the Bergmanns have lined up percussionist Rod Thomas Squance while in March, Hagen returns to Evergreen with a show titled Three’s a Crowd… not!

Flautist Paolo Bertolussi closes the series on April 19 with L’histoire du Tango.

FIDDLE MUSIC

Fiddles, dance Tom, Kerry and Julie Fitzgerald are three-time Canadian grand master fiddle champions and Ontario open step dance winners.

But, on stage, with their parents Pam and Paddy — and guitarist and lead vocalist Nate Douglas — they become the band Everything Fitz.

On Monday, The Tri-City News caught up with this busy family to talk about their neverending tour (which includes a stop in Coquitlam on Nov. 17) and their new self-titled album.

TCN: What do you get out of performing so frequently?

Tom: It takes a lot of time and effort to organize a tour and it’s expensive to travel with six people across the country so, once you get a tour going, it’s to your advantage to ride the wave as long as you can.

TCN: How do different crowds across North America respond to your act?

Pam: We do present an eclectic performance so there’s something for everyone: bluegrass, old-time, Celtic, jazz and vocals. Of course, the fact that we are a family group is always intriguing to people. The step dancing that we do is very unique to the Ottawa Valley so our audiences are amazed to see this dance form.

TCN: Have you ever performed outside of North America?

Pam: Not as group but we

are currently booking our first European tour this May. This will take us to communities across Great Britain.

TCN: Why did you decide to put out a self-titled album?

Tom: Before this new selftitled album, we had not recorded an album together for a couple years so this project came directly out of our need for a much more current, updated representation of our group TCN: How did you find the time to write and record it?

Tom: Even as siblings, it was difficult to find times to rehearse and record. We’ve found that we work best individually, coming up with ideas on our own and then bringing them to the group as fully developed ideas or something very close. For example, Kerry wrote and arranged several original tunes for this album so we actually spent very little time as a group rehearsing these tunes since Kerry gave the rest of us a clear direction of how she wanted them to sound.

TCN: What is the aim of the band?

Tom: It’s an incredible feeling and privilege to play music for a living and to go deep into the world of being an artist and so we want to offer our audiences an opportunity to experience that same feeling every time we perform. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

The Tri-CiTy News

ELAINE FLEURY PHOTO

The Terry Fox Ravens battled hard in a 47-7 victory over the Centennial Centaurs during a Tri-City rivalry match last Friday night at Percy Perry Stadium. The Ravens head into the playoffs in a strong position to contend for the provincial championship, finishing up the regular season with a perfect 7-0 record. Meanwhile, the 5-2 Centaurs will gear up for a meeting against Belmont secondary in the first round of the Fraser Valley playdowns.

AAA HIGH SCHOOL

Ravens victorious in Tri-City battle Fox takes down Centaurs 47-7 in rivalry match GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

The Terry Fox Ravens will head into the AAA high school football Fraser Valley playdowns as the top team in the Eastern Conference this week.

The Port Coquitlam squad locked up first place in their division on Friday after wal-

loping Tri-City rivals the Centennial Centaurs 47-7 at Percy Perry Stadium in the final game of the regular season.

Centennial had been in the hunt for first place for most of the year, but a recent loss to Lord Tweedsmuir had the team chasing their PoCo opponents in the conference.

On Friday, the Ravens sought to put some distance between themselves and the Centaurs in the standings, posting one of their most impressive games of the season.

When the dust finally settled, Terry Fox led their conference with a perfect 7-0 record in regular season play, while the Centaurs fell down to third place with a 5-2 record. The 5-2 Lord Tweedsmuir secondary took second place based on their point differential.

But that does not mean the season is over for Centennial.

The squad is gearing up for a playoff showdown on Friday, Nov. 11, where they will take on Belmont secondary at Percy Perry Stadium during a

Remembrance Day matchup at 4 p.m.

Meanwhile, the Ravens will get a bye this week and will wait to see how things shake out in the opening round before they know who they will play in the semifinals.

All of the teams in the Fraser Valley playdowns are vying for a berth in the provincial championship, which will be held later this month.

JUNIOR

Terry Fox’s junior varsity football squad also wrapped

up the regular season on a high note.

The Jr. Ravens defeated Mount Douglas secondary last Wednesday 20-0, notching the PoCo team’s sixth victory of the season.

The club finishes up the regular season in second place in the JV West division, going 6-1 on the season. They are behind Lord Tweedsmuir secondary, who finished 7-0, and ahead of Mount Douglas with a 4-2 record. sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

The Wenatchee Wild only needed one goal to defeat the Coquitlam Express during a Saturday meeting.

Instead, they piled in six.

The 6-0 loss came 24 hours after the Wild shellacked the visitors 10-2 at the Toyota Town Center Arena and marked the fifth game in a row where the Coquitlam club skated away without a victory.

Only Express forwards Cal Babych and Blake Hayward found a way to score for the team over the weekend and on Saturday no one on the visiting bench was able to sneak a puck past Wild netminder Garrett Nieto.

Not that the Wenatchee goalie was tested very often.

Coquitlam struggled to get shots, registering just 11 on Saturday night and 15 on Friday. At the other end of the rink, Express netminder Reid Cooper faced a deluge of pucks, turning away 47 of 57 on Friday and 49 of 55 on Saturday.

It’s been a long roadtrip for the Express, who were in Prince George the weekend before where they received similar results.

On Friday, they played the Spruce Kings to a 3-3 tie, failing to come up with a decision after two overtime periods. see EXPRESS, page 32

Lord Tweedsmuir secondary fell to Earl Marriott secondary (25-16, 25-20) during the semifinal of the Red Serge Classic AAAA volleyball tournament at Riverside secondary last weekend. While Lord Tweedsmuir went on to take third place at the tournament, Earl Marriott eventually won silver after being defeated by first-place Langley Christian Academy during the championship game.

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL

Langley Christian takes home Red Serge winning banner Tri-City teams struggle at PoCo v-ball tournament The Red Serge Classic AAAA volleyball tournament may have been held in Port Coquitlam, but finals came down to a battle of the Fraser Valley.

Langley Christian Academy defeated Surrey’s Earl Marriott secondary in three sets in the championship game, to take home the winning banner at the event, which is hosted

annually by Riverside secondary in conjunction with the Coquitlam RCMP. The winning squad came out strong in the first set, defeating Earl Marriott 51-14, before losing the second 21-25 and winning the third 15-9.

Along with taking the top spot at the tournament, Langley Christian Academy boasted an all-star player in Savannah Caterino-Leger and tournament MVP Olivia Heinen.

In the consolation game, Lord Tweedsmuir defeated Handsworth secondary in

three sets (23-25, 28-26,15-9) to win third place at the tournament.

However, the local teams struggled during this year’s Red Serge Classic.

The Riverside Rapids defeated the Terry Fox Ravens in the opening round of the tournament playoffs in two sets (25-17, 25-20) before losing to Earl Marriott in the second round (25-13, 25-16). That halted any chance of Tri-City club making into the top three at the event.

Other all stars included Lord Tweedsmuir’s Sedona

Arabsky and Ansah Odoom, Earl Marriott’s Tyra Anderson and Danica Cowie and Handsworth secondary’s Kayla Oxland.

Last weekend was the 17th edition of the Red Serge Classic and was kicked off with a march by the Mounties, followed by several keynote addresses from top officers and speakers. The tournament features the ten best teams in AAAA, AAA and AA women’s volleyball from across British Columbia. sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

BCHL HOCKEY

Express eager to get back home continued from page 31

Sam Kozlowski opened the scoring for Coquitlam before Callum Cusinato was able to tie things 2-2 in the second period. After former Port Moody Panther Chong Lee found the go-ahead goal for Prince George, the Express’ Keegan Jones tied things up

in the third, a 3-3 score that would hold for two more periods.

But Coquitlam could not find a way to overcome the home team the next night, when they fell to Prince George 6-4.

Jake Brien scored his first of the season, while Kozlowski picked up his fifth

and Coquitlam briefly led 3-1 when Alex Ambrosio scored early in the second.

However, the Spruce Kings turned on the scoring in the third period, with Jamie Huber netting two and Ben Poisson scoring one.

Injuries have plagued the Express for most of the opening months of the season.

The club’s road trip continues tonight (Wednesday) with a meeting with Penticton before they return home on Friday (Nov. 11) for a rematch against Prince George.
