BEARS ONLINE: Tri-City residents looking for information on local bear sightings now have a new tool to find out where potential problems are. Bear Aware has installed a new mapping tool on its website that tracks complaints by date and location. The idea is to find out what is attract-ing bears to certain neighbourhoods so people clean up their garbage and other attractants to avoid problems. Other wildlife issues are listed in the map as well. To view it, visit www.bear-aware.bc.ca and click on Bear Sightings. For some info on hungry local bears, see page 14.
Hate is wrapped in baconLeader invites vandal to talk
By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Faced with hate, some people respond with anger, even a clenched fist.
Faced with hate — in the form of cured pork — a local Muslim leader is responding with an open door.
Coquitlam RCMP is-sued a press release Tuesday asking for the public’s help in identi-fying the person who placed slices of bacon on the exterior walls and around the en-trance of the Masjid Al-Hidayah and Islamic Cultural Centre, the Muslim mosque on Kingsway Avenue in Port Coquitlam. The meat was discovered last Wednesday at around 9 p.m. at the conclusion of the mosque’s late eve-ning prayers.
Consumption of pork is forbidden in Islam and police are treating the act of vandalism, the second in the last two years, as a hate crime.
Saad Bahr, the presi-dent of the Islamic Society of BC, which op-erates the mosque, said he believes those respon-sible for the vandalism do not understand Islam
and what the centre does for the community.
“They don’t know us,” he told The Tri-City News yesterday.
His message to the vandal: “We welcome you to come and learn through us by asking questions, instead of hav-ing it from a third party where you might be get-ting distorted informa-tion. I hope this message will reach those people.”
“We welcome you to come and learn through us by asking ques-tions.”Saad Bahr, Islamic leader, to the vandal who spread bacon at the PoCo mosque

Parents of students attending Porter Street elementary school in Coquitlam are mounting a campaign to stop a pro-posal to sell school prop-erty for housing.
Wendy Oloman, who is on the school’s parent ad-
visory council, said Porter parents are concerned about the proposed sale and the impact that nine new houses on Grover Avenue would have on traffic and school access; as well, they don’t believe the land is “surplus,” as de-fined by School District 43.
“We use that land
every day. The kids play on it for soccer. It’s a major access point... we think they’ve made an error in deeming it surplus,” said Oloman, a PAC spokesperson.
The PAC is setting up a committee to look further into the matter and plans to present its concerns to the board of
education on Oct. 23.Just over three weeks
ago, Coquitlam school board approved a pro-cess for gathering pub-lic input for selling land at Porter Street and Parkland elemen-tary schools, both in Coquitlam.

‘Everyone pitched in’ to give an old home a new role helping in PoCoLodge centre for developmentally disabled adults
By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy News
One of Port Coquit-lam’s oldest buildings is starting a new life as a community centre for adults with developmen-tal disabilities.
After a year of reno-vations, the Community Integration Services Society is getting ready to show off its new Melissa Park Lodge offices at 2175 Mary Hill Rd.; an open house is planned for Friday, 2 to 7 p.m.
Visitors will see Douglas fir floors gleam-ing as they must have 102 years ago when they were put in by notable builder Charles Davies, a grand staircase, elegant mouldings painted white and the original fireplace.
The offices have all been painted in heritage co-lours and a computer lab has been installed on the first and second floors for clients; as well, there is a kitchen for cook-ing classes and catering training.
“We were so excited our vision matched the vision of the building,” said Shari Mahar, CISS executive director, during a tour of the offices.
The project has been 20 years in the making, with the society saving to get enough money to purchase a building. But Mahar said she never thought the society would be completing a renova-tion of such scale in one of the city’s oldest build-ings.
Melissa Park Lodge was built in 1910 in the classic box style with a hip roof and dormer win-dows, although it has been added on to over the years. Wallace Fraser and
his wife, Maud, were the first owners, and Maud was related to one of the first European families that moved into the area. Charles Davies, who built the home, also built Port Coquitlam city hall and was at one time the city’s mayor.
For several years, the house provided outpa-tient services for pa-tients leaving Riverview Hospital but Fraser Health closed it in 2010.
The size of the build-ing made it a perfect fit for the society, which pro-vides employment, recre-ation and education ser-vices for 62 clients. Still, a great deal of work was needed.
To meet both the build-ing code and the needs of the society, Melissa Park had to be gutted down to the lath, with the gyp-sum dealt with by trained asbestos workers. Stairs and ramps were installed to make the building ac-
cessible on the first and second floors, and park-ing was added. A sprin-kler system was also installed to enhance fire protection, at substantial cost to the organization.
“There was a lot to it,” Mahar said of the reno-vation, noting that the process was a bit scary but there was a lot of help from the designer, the contractor and the city.
Quest Projects, which did the construction, paid for a new TV and a stove, and a grant from Chevron Canada paid for a fridge and other sup-plies. Mahar and officer manager Pam Galt went to auctions to buy chairs and dishes, and employ-ees, family members and other supporters paid for window coverings.
“Everyone really pitched in,” Mahar said.
Now that Melissa Park Lodge is complete, the so-ciety can better support people with developmen-
tal disabilities, many of whom are volunteering or working in the Tri-Cities.
Vice-president Peter Dawe said there was no room in the old offices in Port Moody for people to hang out and do com-puter work before going out to work or day pro-grams. “Now everybody comes in and works on the computers to start their day,” he said. “It’s changed, in my mind, the whole spirit of the pro-gram.”
One of the highlights of the renovation for him was a surprising revela-tion that a section of wall to be turned into a door-way contained the origi-
nal pocket doors.And the work isn’t
finished. The society is drawing up a heritage re-vitalization agreement to protect the building’s his-torical attributes and its use. Once it is complete, it will be Port Coquitlam’s first agreement, and likely a model for protect-ing other buildings in the future.
On Oct. 5, members of the public can see for themselves how much value Melissa Park adds to the community.
“We do want to be good neighbours and to let people know what services are here,” said [email protected]
Shari Mahar, executive director of the Community Integration Services Society, and Pam Galt, office manager, outside the newly renovated, 102-year-old building called Melissa Park Lodge in Port Coquitlam. The society moved into the building in February and will hold a grand opening this Friday, Oct. 5.

If sold, the proper-ties could accommo-date 17 houses, ac-cording to the district — nine at Porter Street and eight at Parkland along Como Lake Avenue. After costs, the sale could gener-ate about $4 million, which the district says it would use for other capital projects in Coquitlam.
But Oloman said Porter Street parents don’t like the idea and felt it was sprung on them, despite the fact that a public consulta-tion process was put in place. She said an open house held last Thursday should have been held in a gym instead of two narrow hallways. Approximately 150 people showed up, she said, and some had trouble getting their questions answered while others were turned away for lack of space.
“I was disappointed in how the meeting was structured,” said Oloman, who has one child at the school of about 375 students. There was no presen-tation, she said, and parents had to track down people to get questions answered.
She said parents don’t understand why Porter Street property was identified as sur-plus when there are closed schools with strips of land that could be sold off that aren’t used every day by children.
At a school board meeting in September, when trustees agreed to look into selling the properties, secre-tary treasurer Rick Humphreys admitted the timeline for gath-ering input was “ag-gressive.” But he said it was just the beginning and, if approved, the land sale would still require a lengthy city approval process.
The board is ex-pected to make a deci-sion at its Nov. 6 [email protected]
Car swerved into traffic, cops say
By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News
A Coquitlam man who is facing impaired
driving charges from an incident in Port Moody over the weekend had his two young children in the back seat when police pulled him over.
The 52-year-old was spotted by a witness get-ting into his vehicle at the
Boathouse Restaurant at Rocky Point Park on Sunday at around 5:45 p.m. with his children, six and eight years of age. The witness said the man was driving erratically and at one point veered into the oncoming lane.
Police were able to catch up with the sus-pect in the 2700-block of St. Johns Street and made the arrest.
“What is most trou-bling is that the kids were in the vehicle with him,” said Port Moody
police Const. Luke Van Winkel. “So not only is this person putting his own life and the people around him in danger but he is also putting his kids in danger... A kid’s life is worth a lot more than a taxi cab home.”
Van Winkel said the suspect’s 2002 Toyota Corolla did not have the appropriate booster seats for the children.
The man and his chil-dren were taken to the Port Moody police sta-tion, where his wife
came and picked up the kids.
Van Winkel added that the Ministry of Children and Family Development was noti-fied, which is standard in such cases. [email protected]

Posters battle exploitationBy Diane Strandberg
The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam-based Children of the Street Society has launched a campaign to stop child predators from soliciting children and youth online.
“What we’re trying to do is to show how important it is as a community to keep children safe when it comes to child pornography, and to remind the public that there are undercover offi-cers online looking for child predators,” executive direc-tor Diane Sowden said of the ad campaign.
Child pornography avail-able online has grown by 900% in five years and Canada is the second larg-est source after the U.S., Sowden said.
“Yes, that is shocking,” she said, adding that 10% of strangers on a child’s social media site are likely to be predators.
The society’s ad cam-paign and website www.PredatorWatch are sup-ported by the Vancouver
Police Department and the BC Internet Child Exploitation Unit, and Sowden said she hopes it will encourage parents, community agencies and others to take the issue of child luring and child por-nography seriously.
The posters — which have been installed in Vancouver bars and fitness centres — show a police of-ficer wearing a mask, and a 3D camera with a light that glows when observed makes the claim that thou-sands of children are simi-larly violated by web cams. Online, an interactive ban-ner has been created that shows a girl in a bedroom with an invitation to “con-nect.”
“We needed something interactive and obtrusive in order to cut through and warn potential perpe-trators, as well as the gen-eral public who can play a role in protection, said Michael Milardo of Cossette Vancouver, the ad agency that created the [email protected]

More than two dozen non-profit organizations are flush with cash after Coquitlam city council this week handed out its an-nual casino grants.
But the $388,093 in Spirit cash and the $19,584 in Active funding was only half of what the municipal-ity set aside this year for community groups.
At Monday’s meeting, council heard the city had about $800,000 to give away — 12.5% of the 10% in net proceeds it receives as host to the Boulevard Casino. Instead, coun-cil passed out a total of $407,677 in grants.
This year, the city re-ceived 31 bids for Spirit of Coquitlam grants totalling $850,128 in requests. But not all requests met grant criteria, thus the differ-ence between the money that was available and the money that was handed out.
“We are supposed to give this money out to the community,” Coun. Selina Robinson said. “It’s not wise to not make full use of the money.”
But Coun. Craig Hodge argued it’s OK for the city to have a bit of padding in the account given that Coquitlam is growing and the future of the casino money is uncertain.
Lori MacKay, Coquit-lam’s general manager of parks, recreation and cul-ture services, told council that city staff are consider-ing reworking the criteria next year, given the num-ber of festival applications. Still, she said it’s indicative of the direction the city is heading with its events tourism and Celebrate Coquitlam strategies.
Since 2002, the city has handed out about $5.8 mil-lion in community gaming [email protected]

“That is what the in-vestigation is all about,”

Employee stabbed at Coquitlam psych. unitCharges against Forensic patient
Articles by Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
An employee at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam is recovering after being stabbed by a patient at the facility last week.
Robert Schroyen is facing attempted murder and aggravated assault charges stemming from the incident and has been isolated from the other patients at the hospital pending the investigation.
The victim received non-life threatening in-juries and was able to call for help during the attack.
“It happened at around 10:30 a.m.,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “A staff member was stabbed by a patient... and we have started an investigation.”
Chung did not know how the 24-year-old sus-pect was able to get access to a weapon.
He added that while the investigation is car-ried out, Schroyen has been taken to a secure part of the hospital.
“There are several degrees of security at the hospital,” Chung said. “One is almost like a jail. The other ones are more open areas.”
Betty Kerray, the executive director of the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital, said in a statement that she could not comment on specifics of the case due to the police investigation but said staff will be reviewing the incident.
“We have policies in place regarding staff safety,” she said in an email. “Included in the policy is that two staff members must be pres-ent when entering patient care areas in all units, with an additional staff member to be in a safe area to observe.”

Local stores part of recallBy Diane Strandberg
The Tri-CiTy News
If you bought beef in the past couple of weeks, check the product pack-aging and the best before date and head to your closest computer to get the latest information on a Canada-wide recall of contaminated beef.
On Sunday, the C a n a d i a n F o o d Inspection Agency ex-panded its list of E. coli-contaminated prod-ucts from XL Foods meat packing plant in Brooks, Alta. and many B.C. stores, including a Coquitlam grocer, are af-fected.
Beef products from Save-On-Foods and Canada Safeway are mentioned on the CFIA list, as is Thrifty Foods, which sent out a public announcement Sunday informing customers of the recall.
“We take this very seri-ously,” said Ralf Mundel, marketing and commu-nications director for Thrifty Foods.
Mundel said Thrifty re-cently purchased a small amount of whole beef
cuts from XL Foods to maintain store meat sup-plies but the chain’s usual supplier is Cargill.
All of the XL beef was removed from Thrifty shelves when the ex-panded recall was an-nounced and people are encouraged to check the product and best before date to make sure they didn’t purchase the re-called items.
In Coquitlam, approxi-mately 20 packages of beef bottom round steaks, beef bottom round roasts and beef hip stewing meat were purchased from XL Foods and thus affected by the recall. But they were incorrectly la-belled as Sterling Silver, the company’s premier beef product, Mundel said, so customers should check the labels of their meat. The recall includes meat with a best-before date as late as Oct. 1 and 2. Some of the meat was also sold as ground beef.
All such meat should be discarded, he said, and the proof of purchase —
such as a receipt, product label or empty packaging — returned to the store for a refund.
“If they have any of the affected products, we want them to bring back proof of purchase, not the product, and we’ll refund it no questions asked.”
There are no con-firmed reports of illness from customers consum-ing XL Foods beef prod-ucts purchased from Thrifty Foods.
Other stores that had XL Foods beef on the shelves include several on Vancouver Island, Tsawwassen, Maple Ridge, Cloverdale , Abbotsford and North Vancouver.
Mundel also apolo-gized for the mislabeling of meat at the Coquitlam store and said the mix-up was unfortunate and failed to meet the com-pany’s high standards. Sterling Silver meat is the company’s pre-mier brand packaged at Cargill in High River, Alta. It is triple A quality,
aged 21 days and custom-ers pay a higher price for this meat, he said.
Meanwhile, Save-On-Foods issued a press re-lease (www.owfg.com/product-recalls) alerting customers to meat cur-rently subject to the CFIA recall. On Saturday, the B.C.-based company told customers that while it doesn’t buy its ground beef from XL Foods, it has purchased other beef products from the com-pany that are now af-fected by the CFIA’s ex-panded recall.
“We are very proud of the facility we work with and the processes they have in place to pro-vide us with a very high standard of food safety, which includes extra steps that make the risk of this kind of contami-nation extremely low for us. However, as a precau-tionary measure, we are voluntarily initiating a re-call of all potentially im-pacted products and we’ll be replacing removed product with unaffected supply over the next few days,” the press release [email protected]

Differing results in 2 UBCM votes
Tri-City councils put forward two motions at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities’ (UBCM) convention — each yielding a differ-ent result from the del-egates.
Port Moody’s resolu-tion that the province outlaw the possession or sale of shark fins was approved by a wide margin.
But delegates turned down Port Coquitlam council’s motion that the province redistribute some of the $82 million a year casino host cities receive. Delegates re-jected the proposal amid concerns about how the redistribution would work.
Advocates for the PoCo position said the current system where only host cities — in-cluding Coquitlam — re-ceive 10% of gambling profits divides cities into winners and losers and should be reformed to spread the wealth.
PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said, “The current regulations are pitting communities against each other,” he said. “It’s creating an injustice between local govern-ments around the prov-ince.”
PoCo reps said they didn’t intend for host cit-ies to lose money, sug-gesting the province could keep them whole while providing a per capita share of gaming profits to the have-nots.

The YMCA of Greater Vancouver is eyeing Coquitlam for its next community centre.
President and CEO Steve Butz told The Tri-City News the charitable group plans to start its market research next month to identify where the full-service facility would go and what pro-grams could be provided to children, adults and families in the Tri-Cities.
The city of Coquitlam is partnering with the organization and will contribute up to $20,000 for the study that will in-clude polling residents by phone, according to documents released on Monday for the council-in-committee meeting.
As well, the Y will look at launching a capital campaign study for the planned centre.
Lori MacKay, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and cul-ture services, said in her report that Burquitlam and northeast Coquitlam are potential sites for the family community cen-tre, which the city envi-sions as a 50,000 sq. ft. to 60,000 sq. ft. building with a pool, fitness area, gym, multipurpose rooms and childcare space.
“In addition to rec-reation programs, the YMCA would explore partnering with others on the delivery of social service support programs in such areas as health,
new Canadian settlement and education,” MacKay wrote in her report to the committee.
Currently, the YMCA runs a childcare resource and referral program on Austin Avenue.
“There are lots of ques-tions right now,” Butz told The News last Thursday. “Right now, our organi-zation and the city have agreed to work together and that’s a positive step.
“I think we are inter-ested in understanding better ways to serve the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley, and Coquitlam is a community
on the move and growing.”If approved, the full
cost of the operation would be born by the YMCA, Butz said.
The YMCA has 170 program sites in the Lower Mainland, cost-ing $35 million a year. Recently, it developed a strategic plan to expand its programs over the next decade.

It is the second instance of van-dalism in the last 18 months at the mosque, which is located across the street from a Christian church. The previous inci-dent occurred in the spring of 2011, when someone spray-painted racist graffiti on the front of the building.
“I hope this will be the last experi-ence we have in this area,” Bahr said. “This is painful and a shame to have in a community like ours.”
“It is disturbing that someone would choose to target Dr. Bahr and his com-munity like this,” said Coquitlam RCMP Supt. Claude Wilcott. “We want to send a clear mes-sage that we take this type of activ-ity seriously and it won’t be tolerated in our jurisdiction.”

The Union of B.C. Municipalities convention is the political event of the
year for provincial party lead-ers, especially heading into an election.
Up first at last week’s convention was NDP leader Adrian Dix, who drew a large crowd of local politicians for the traditional early morning spot that follows a long evening of receptions.
In contrast to his debut last year, which was a typical litany of political attacks on the BC Liberals, Dix declared he would take the high road.
And perhaps mindful of Carole James’ downfall after her content-free speech to the 2010 UBCM convention, Dix set out policies.
He told delegates an NDP government would restore local authority over Metro Vancouver transit (no more toothless “may-
ors’ council”) and mountain resorts (no more Jumbo ski resort permits issued over local objections).
Dix would also let communities decide if they want public-private partnerships for large construction projects. (Federal Heritage Minister James Moore, a Tri-City MP, later noted that if communities or provinces wish to decline federal funds due to this ideology, they are free to do so.)
Then Dix accused the BC Liberals of cut-ting forest inventory spending by 77% over the last decade, meaning decisions such as re-building the Burns Lake mill are being made “in the dark” for the first time in a century.
That’s a damning charge so I checked it against forest ministry budget records. As with all government programs, accounting changes can give a misleading appearance of large cuts or increases from year to year. And indeed, forest inventory spending has bounced around during the BC Liberal term.
The budget for forest inventory staff-ing and operation was about $8 million in 2001/’02, rising as high as $15 million and
falling to a low of $5.1 million in recession-hit 2009/’10. The estimate for the current fiscal year is $9.7 million, an increase to try to catch up with the pine beetle disaster.
Crown forest inventory has indeed fallen behind due to rapid shifts caused by un-precedented insect and fire damage. But has spending been slashed as Dix claims? No, it has increased.
Next up was Premier Christy Clark, in full campaign mode. In the Gordon Campbell tradition, she brought the goodies out in her speech to close the convention.
More than $200 million has been scraped together to “accelerate” capital projects at schools, hospitals and other facilities across the province. These projects were already on the books but they’ve been moved up for obvious political purposes — or at least the announcements will be moved up.
Four-laning of the last narrow stretches of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Kamloops will continue over 10 years. This is a federal-provincial project that will eventually be finished regardless of who is governing in
Victoria or Ottawa. It includes some of the most staggeringly expensive road building in Canada, in the Kicking Horse Pass, a short section that could require two tunnels and up to 12 more bridges.
Clark also announced a long-range plan to replace the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River. It will likely be a bridge be-cause the tunnel is a bottleneck not only for Highway 99 but also for large ships going up-river. This is another project that will proceed eventually, and there is no specific financial commitment yet.
I haven’t found any outright false claims in Clark’s presentation, just the kind of creative accounting and blacktop politics familiar to B.C. voters. As always, I’m pleased to hear from people with specific corrections.
For now, call it a tie. Neither speech rep-resents a proud moment for our provincial leadership.

Provincial leaders’ UBCM spin contest ends in tie
Pot problemEnforcing marijuana laws is expensive and B.C.
mayors whose towns, cities and villages are faced with policing pot are getting fed up.
Last week, a majority of civic politicians attending a Union of B.C. Municipalities convention passed a reso-lution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized. They recognize that organized crime is behind growing and distribution of marijuana while taxpayers shoulder policing and court costs to enforce Canada’s pot laws.
For the most part, it’s a cat-and-mouse chase that just ends up moving the problem around rather than eradicating it outright. Even a former B.C. attorney general, Geoff Plant, says the prohibition of marijuana has been a “disastrous failure of public policy.”
Politicians are sensing a changing mood within the electorate and are growing frustrated themselves with the problem of pot and organized crime. The spectre of gangs shooting it out in city streets over control of the illegal drug trade may be behind their concerns and they would rather the weed be regulated and taxed, much like alcohol.
That’s good news and bad news for the province’s 585,000 regular pot users; they would no longer be considered criminals but they would pay the price with taxes that have an annoying way of always increasing.
But decriminalizing marijuana likely won’t save enforcement costs and there’s a concern that the gang problem won’t go away with the stroke of a pen. That’s because most of the money in marijuana made by the drug trade comes from producing it for export. As long as pot is still illegal the United States, there will be or-ganized groups looking to cash in. And there will still be pressure on authorities to shut those groups down and stem the flow.
There are no easy answers when it comes to control-ling or eliminating the drug trade and it would be nice to think legalizing pot would make problems go away. It turns out doing so isn’t going to solve all the prob-lems but last week’s vote will at least begin a serious discussion.

TRI-CITYTRI-CITY leTTeRsWhat’s good for Canada?The Editor,
Re. “Nexen deal good for our economy” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Sept. 28).
I am disturbed by the approach advocated by Face to Face columnist Andy Radia. Like most right-wing thinkers, his whole outlook seems to be the quarterly report-view and what is good for the “economy.”
It is this approach that has brought about the mess we are in today. Why does China have all this cash that allows them to go on buying company after company abroad? Because we let it happen by buying the cheap and sometimes tainted junk
produced there under incredible conditions, in the process putting our own companies out of business. Its high time we stopped that.
Canada should not be looking at what is good for the “economy” (meaning “well-con-nected shareholders”) but at what is good for the country because, in the end, this will end up being good for our econ-omy as a whole.
As Face to Face col-umnist Jim Nelson points out, we should take an example from Norway. We should stop listening to the doom-and-gloom prophets who fear the withdrawal
of the companies. Where are they going to go? They cannot take our resources with them, so they will stay.
Instead of throw-ing our resources at them, we need to make them pay for the privi-lege of extracting them. Imagine what that would do to the econ-omy of this country.M. Guenther,Port Coquitlam
REFINE OIL HEREThe Editor,
I agree that inter-national investment is good for Canada but we as a country should not give it away at any cost. By this I mean invest-
ment in the oil sands is proceeding and let’s face it, shipping or piping bi-tumen oil is very risky.
Canada should seek to have any future devel-opment or takeover deal to include a new refin-ery. This would mitigate many of the dangers as-sociated with the ship-ping of the raw bitumen oil.
Car manufactures now build factories here, why couldn’t foreign oil companies build refiner-ies here in partnership with Canada to refine the product and sell it? We all win from this method of business part-nership.C. Moniz, Port Coquitlam
Noisy bikesThe Editor,
As a citizen living on a busy street in Port Coquitlam, I’m con-stantly in awe and irri-tated at how loud motor-cycles are.
My children are forced to cover their ears while playing in the backyard and my guests and I are always made to pause mid-sentence while talk-ing and wait for the of-fensive vehicle to pass.
My question is simple: Why, when it’s in obvi-ous violation of motor vehicle laws, is this al-lowed? The law is clear, why is it not enforced? Tara Blanchet,Port Coquitlam

By Janis WarrenThe Tri-CiTy News
A three-person com-mission looking at re-drawing federal rid-ings in B.C. heard from about a dozen presenters last week in Coquitlam.
Many of the speak-ers — associated with the NDP federally and provincially — told the panel they would pre-fer a redistribution of the New Westminster-Coquitlam riding to “hug” the Fraser River: that is, a New West-Mai l lardvi l le -south PoCo alignment.
Under the proposed boundary, as rejigged by the commission ear-lier this year, the New West-Coquitlam riding would exclude the Royal City and would extend up to Lougheed/Barnet Highway with more Coquitlam homes — a redesign that would be unfavourable for the NDP.
As well, the draft re-alignment calls for split-ting up the city of Port Coquitlam in three rid-ings.
Should the changes recommended by the commission take ef-fect , the Tri-Cities would have three MPs for the new ridings of : Coquit lam-Port Coquitlam to the north; Port Moody-Coquitlam to the south; and Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge to the east, by the fall 2015 general election.
Currently, the region has two ridings: Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam (held by Conservative MP James Moore) and New West-Coquitlam (held by NDP MP Fin Donnelly).
At the commission hearing last Thursday, Donnelly joined NDP MLA Diane Thorne and Coquitlam Coun. Neal Nicholson to plea for a boundary that would in-clude New West.
They argued hav-ing one MP represent New West and south Coquitlam, especially on transportation mat-ters such as the United Boulevard bailey bridge, rapid transit and North Road congestion, is beneficial. As well, the southern areas are his-torically linked by CP Rail.
As for PoCo, all speakers — includ-ing NDP MLA Mike Farnworth and his constituency assistant, Glenn Pollock, a PoCo city councillor — op-posed the city being cut up in three.
PoCo Mayor Greg Moore was at the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ convention last week but during a presenta-tion last month before
the commission in Maple Ridge, Moore said such a split would be “unacceptable” and suggested the city be kept intact federally.
The commission’s re-alignment is in response to the region’s massive population boom over the past five years. New West-Coquitlam has seen a 10% population hike, from 111,231 to 122,899 people; with the riding spread over 52 sq. km, that translates to 2,353 people per square
kilometre.B y c o m p a r i s o n ,
PoMo-Westwood-PoCo saw an 11.3% popula-tion surge, with 129,706 people calling the rid-ing home last year ver-sus 116,553 in 2006; the riding takes up 647 sq. km, translating to 199.7 constituents per square kilometre.
According to the com-mission, the ideal popu-lation per riding would be around 104,000.
Th e commi ss i on wants to add six new
electoral districts in B.C., translating to the Lower Mainland holding 26 of British Columbia’s 42 ridings — up from the current 21 of 36.
The commission will submit its report to Ottawa after a series of public hearings this fall (the last stop is in Burnaby on Oct. 18 at the Holiday Inn Express Metrotown). For more information, visit [email protected]

By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy News
Hungry bears are making their way from greenbelts to backyards in search of food and Tri-City residents are urged to keep garbage and other bear attrac-tants locked up.
But in one Port Coquitlam neighbour-hood last week, even locking garbage in a shed wasn’t enough of a deterrent for one fam-ished bruin.
A bear broke into a shed on Evergreen Street near the Hyde Creek nature reserve and pawed through the garbage before exiting and leaving a mess be-hind.
“It’s definitely that time of year, bears are looking for food,” said conservation officer James Kelly, and he con-firmed a few bears may be in the PoCo area.
With berries drying up, bears will be looking for other food alterna-tives to put on weight before heading into the hills for hibernation.
Kelly recommended people secure their gar-bage with bear-proof latches to deter bears from coming around. In the case of the shed owner, Kelly suggested
keeping garbage out of the shed for a while to discourage the bear from returning.
“He’ll poke his head in but if he notices there’s no more food, he’ll move on,” Kelly said.
Individuals who fail to secure their gar-bage in Port Moody, C o q u i t l a m , P o r t Coquitlam, Anmore or Belcarra could be issued fines of between $150 and $500.
Meanwhile, people living in the area of Evergreen Street and Lincoln Avenue have noticed a bear trap in the area but conserva-tion officers couldn’t de-termine before The Tri-City News’ press time whether it was baited to catch a [email protected]

This summer, as part of an ongoing series called Riverview Stories, The Tri-City News asked readers to submit their impressions and experiences of the for-mer hospital lands. Here are two of the submissions:
‘Foundation of caring’
I’ve crawled in life’s dirt and been lifted by the wings of her beauty over the course of five years of extensive travel in more than 50 countries on
five continents. I have seen sights, natural and man-made, and experienced special places in our world few will match. I thought I had seen the best and experienced the most fulfilling.
I drove by Riverview in 1969 unaware; its pristine urban forest was still abundant back then. In 1985, at the end of my globe-trotting days, I ventured in, cau-tiously curious, not expecting an awakening.
At the time, the 244 acres of Riverview Hospital lands were still sanctuary housing for those of our citizens plagued with mental difficulties.
I’ve never forgotten the impact it had on me that day — as a human being, as a resident of Coquitlam, as a Canadian.
It was a whole new experience. My eyes were filled with a vision and my soul with a peace un-known. I realized instantly the brilliance achieved by visionaries of a time past who were then motivated by empathy to alleviate suffering of fellow human beings. They sought to provide a secret garden sanc-tuary for tormented souls in the hopes that it would nurture them back to a place of comfort.
Their legacy lives on for us to experience and to cherish as we appreciate the dedication of people who were masters of their craft — be they design-ers of gardens and buildings or designers of patient care. Together, those who built Riverview also built a foundation of caring that has evolved into a priceless masterpiece of history.
Now it is up to us to insist that this masterpiece be preserved and to ensure the legacy of Riverview is never lost or allowed to be forgotten.
The acreage we know as Riverview is a journey of endless reward and discovery that needs to be shared, a tranquil bouquet of evolving life, a beacon of revitalization of the soul amidst a rapidly expand-ing metropolis.
But it is at risk of devastation: Abundant heritage buildings stand empty; the first botanical garden established in western Canada grows untended; the
original fruit orchard and cemetery are threatened by disturbance, even removal; and a natural ecosys-tem home to wildlife and indigenous plant species is at threat of fragmentation.
Today, the future of the Riverview lands is uncer-tain and our government must step up and do the right thing for all British Columbians for generations to come. Make all of the Riverview site a protected historical treasure. From a world traveler’s perspec-tive, this site, in its entirety, has it all.
If permitted to be disturbed, the historical im-portance of the whole will be lost forever. We must not let this happen. The value of this site is above monetary pricing. It must be seen for the historical and natural value it holds for all citizens of our fine province and of our country.
I have experienced many special moments over 15 years photographing this exquisite place — walking in the fresh, clean air, hearing a symphony of bird life above, the calming trickle of streams below and the busy buzz of insects on wing.
This is a place where nature fills the soul and cre-ates happiness within. What a privilege I have had to feel a blossoming of life within realized by the balance of a beautiful place so close to my home — a small parcel of land known as Riverview.Kenneth Baker, Surrey
Generations, questionsThe following letter is being published with the writ-er’s initials only to protect the family’s identity.
My first recollection of Riverview was visit-ing my dad in Crease Clinic in 1966. I was four years old.
Of course, I was unaware this “hospital” was for a psychotic break my 48-year-old dad had. This was his first but not last visit to the institution we know as Riverview.
Every couple of years or so, he would be taken in by the police, called by my mother. She would say he was gone into the hospital to dry out. He would come home sober, calm and with a bottle of pills. He would take them for a while but complained they made him tired and it was difficult to work on them. I believe my mother said they were Lithium (the drug of choice for mood disorders).
When I was about 10, she explained to me that my father was an alcoholic and that the disease was af-fecting his brain, that’s why he ranted and raved at night and saw visions of Mother Mary.
What Riverview means to them
RIVERVIEW STORIES
THIS SERIES• Over the last
several months, as Riverview Hospital closed and the property ap-proached its 100th anniversary in 2013, The Tri-City News has pub-lished a series of ar-ticles by reporters Sarah Payne and Diane Strandberg about the people who worked, lived and had family there. This is the final instalment in the series.

Spooky stories?Teens, ’tis the season to let the terrors of your
subconscious spill from your feverish brains. But do not stop there. Give your phantasms form and substance using diction and structure — the alchemy of words.
Those of you who transmute your darkest dreams from fleeting fantasy to punctuated per-manence may win prizes in the annual Scary Story Contest, sponsored Coquitlam Public Library and Port Moody Public Library as well as The Tri-City News, which will publish some of the winning entries in time for Halloween.
The contest invites youths to submit entries in one of two age categories: 11 to 14 years and 15 to 18 years. Judges will award first-, second- and third-place prizes to the three best entries in each category.
Rules for the contest are as follows:• Each entry must be no longer than 500
words; the title and byline do not count towards the total.
• Each entry must be an original story writ-ten by a resident of Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Anmore or Belcarra.
• Writers who submit entries must be no younger than 11 and no older than 18 as of the deadline date of Oct. 21, 2012.
• Writers must include the following three words in their stories: ominous, putrid and ma-levolent. Stories that do not include these words will be disqualified (f 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 with their entries.
• Writers must e-mail their entries to [email protected] no later than Sunday, Oct. 21. Entries sent after that day will not be accepted.
• Entries can be included in the body of an email message or attached as a Microsoft Word document.
Winners in each category will be awarded prizes worth $75 (first), $50 (second) and $25 (third). Some of their entries will also be pub-lished in The Tri-City News on Oct. 31.
Full contest details are on the Coquitlam Public Library and Port Moody Public Library websites. For more information, email [email protected].
When I was 16, she and I finally left after a particularly violent event. My father’s doc-tors over the years tossed around diagnoses such as manic depres-sion (now known as bipolar mood disorder) and schizophrenia and organic brain disorder (alcohol-induced). He was eventually put into a care home, drugged and lived until 77 years of age.
My interest in what really was my fathers’ condition haunted me my whole life. What came first, the alcohol-ism or the mental ill-ness? Was one or the other the cause or the effect?
The year after his death, I enrolled in the psychiatric nursing program at Douglas College. I completed the two-year program and worked in the field briefly. Riverview was one of my employers.
I quit nursing when my own 17-year-old son had his first breakdown. The next eight years would see him spiral from a happy athletic kid into a ranting, de-lusional and agitated young man. He was in
and out of Sherbrooke Centre (the psych unit at Royal Columbian Hospital) and two stays at Riverview, the last one being three months. He came out with a new medication regime and has been “good as it gets” for seven years now. He’s unable to work full time, as the meds make him very groggy, but he seems content and remains calm. He is able to live on his own with a little support but, all in all, he is what we con-sider well.
I guess my point is, what I have learned in the books and what I have seen in life is that mental illness is not just a diag-nosis or a condition that affects the one who is ill. It is not an illness that is curable and not one medication is right for everyone afflicted. We see it in families but why one and not all members? The questions that loom are still in need of answers and help to find out how to prevent losing our loved ones to something so horrifying.
I could go on and on about the trials of living with mental illness but until there is more sup-port for a cure, I’m just wasting my breath.R.W., Coquitlam

Get cooking, kids
Fall is here and indoor activities with kids can be a
challenge. Why not take them into the kitchen? There they can create, have fun and, most im-portantly, develop cook-ing skills.
Cool Cooking by Lisa Wagner introduces young readers to cook-ing in a format that is easy to read and use. Basic techniques, tools and ingredients with photos make it easy for kids to learn and cre-ate great dishes. Topics such as lunches, cuisine, pizza and even food art are offered. Kids are en-couraged to experiment with cooking tools and a variety of foods.
For the pirate in your family, A Pirate Cookbook by Sarah L. Schuette offers tools and techniques to cre-ate such recipes as Chocolate Gunpowder, Scurvy Soup and Gangplank Dippers. The book also offers a glossary, bibliography and websites for further information. Kids will have so much fun mak-ing these recipes and more fun eating them.
Schuette also provides recipes for the royal kid in your household in A Princess Cookbook, which discusses tools
and techniques for mak-ing Royal Jewels, Magic Wands and Slipper Sandwiches. Guests in Rapunzel’s tower can be served a delicious yogurt parfait with raspberries.
Kids Cook 1-2-3 by Rozanne Gold pro-vides recipes for young chefs using only three ingredients. With more than 125 easy-to-follow recipes, kids can pre-pare breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and desserts while learning about fresh ingredients and simple cooking techniques. Young cooks will gain confidence and skill preparing home-made soups and mac and cheese. Lessons in food and personal safety are provided to complete a well-rounded book for kids and adults alike.
Does anyone want Wookie Cookies and Darth Malts? The Star Wars Cookbooks — I and II — provide inter-galactic recipes featur-ing healthy snacks, main dishes and des-serts. Recipe titles will make kids laugh with names such as Amidala Challah, Pickle Jar Jar
and Sith Slush. They will want to make these recipes over and over. Fans of the movies can cook food truly out of this world.
For the kid who wants to try something re-ally different, there is Fun With Asian Food by Devagi Sanmugam. Well-known recipes such as Sushi and Chicken Yakitori from Japan and Mango Pudding from the Philippines are sure to delight your fam-ily while giving them an introduction to the cultures and cuisines of the Orient. The colourful illustrations highlight Asia and explain a little about the national dress and Asian countries.
With the rainy season underway, inviting the kids into the kitchen can be a great way to spend some quality time on a chilly day. You can find these books and many more about cooking With kids at your local library.A Good Read is a column
by Tri-City librarians that is published every
Wednesday. Janet Cooper works at Coquitlam
Public Library.
Read and write with buddies
If your child is hav-ing difficulty with reading or writing, or if he or she needs a bit of extra prac-tice and motivation, Port Moody Public L i b r a ry ’ s B o o k Buddies can help.
This fun, free pro-gram helps children in Grades 2 to 4 improve their reading and writing skills through weekly practice. Children are paired with trained teen men-tors for 45 minutes of shared reading, writing and learning games in a safe, super-vised library setting.
And PoMo library will be adding writ-ing help to this popu-lar program for the first time this fall. “Parents were asking us if we could help with writing as well,” said Maryn Ashdown, head youth services librarian, “so we de-cided to include writ-ing opportunities in the Book Buddies pro-gram for the first time.”
Book Buddies ses-sions will run every Saturday morning from Oct. 20 to Dec. 15. You can register by calling 604-469-4577 or going to the library information desk. For more information and times, visit www.li-brary.portmoody.ca.
PoMo library is open weekdays 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.

sAy A prAyerDavid Robinson, a ceramics teacher at Place des Arts, and the Maillardville facility’s program events co-ordinator, Michael Fera, ham it up for Impromptu: A Kitchen Party, a fundraiser for arts education programs. The “fake wake” with impromptu entertainment happens on Saturday, Oct. 13.
Kitchen party. 1952. Newfie style
By Janis WarrenThe Tri-CiTy NeWs
It’s hard to predict what will happen next week at Impromptu: A Kitchen Party.
But one thing is for sure: You’ll be greeted with a warm hug at the door to console the loss of your relative/friend/co-worker Joey McCann, a fictional character who likely drowned while fishing off the coast of Newfoundland in 1952.
In fact, anything can transpire during the three-hour “fake wake” — a fundraiser for Coquitlam’s Place des Arts arts eduction programs that’s spon-sored in part by The Tri-City News.
Costumed attendees in flannel shirts, toques and plaid party dresses could be mingling or taking in the eulogies for poor Uncle Joey or “scuffing the floor” when a group of musicians burst into song. Or you could be suddenly surrounded by dancers kick-ing up their heels during a sea shanty or Celtic jig.
That’s what Impromptu is all about: a perfor-mance-based spectacle that aims for elements of surprise.
Michael Fera, Place des Arts’ program events co-ordinator and the brainchild of the Impromptu kitchen party theme, said they’ll be lots of fun going on all night. “It’s going to be a kitchen party like nobody’s seen it,” he said. “And, the best part is, we’re going to move you along with the story and make you feel like you’re part of the family.”
Joey’s clan will be played by professional actors who will mourn — and roast — the poor fisherman. Place des Arts faculty and students are in the cast, too, as musicians and dancers.
Fera said much of the party will be concentrated in the centre’s Atrium, which will be transformed into a giant kitchen, while the Leonore Peyton Salon will be a rec room where the eulogies will be delivered by actors and attendees brave enough to stand before a mic and make up a story about Joey. “People can sit back and watch it all unfold, or they can get up and say a few words about how they knew him,” Fera said.
To top it off, attendees can sample some catered Atlantic grub such as halibut cakes and can even join the screech-in. That’s where “come-from-aways” are made honourary Newfies by taking a shot of screech (rum) and kiss a cod.
As well, there’ll be a live and silent auction, and a raffle with prizes that include trips to Jasper and Haida Gwaii.
Fera said he wanted a kitchen party for the second annual Impromptu because it’s “completely differ-ent from last year” when Place des Arts turned into a speak-easy with men donning 1920s threads and women sporting flapper dresses.
That event was sold-out and collected $15,000 for the centre’s scholarships and bursaries program.
And to add to the kitchen party authenticity, Fera said he’s consulting with one of the best-known Newfies in town: Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Diane Thorne. “She’s helping us with the finer de-tails,” Fera said.
Meanwhile, this year’s Impromptu also includes a special after-party for 30 guests who purchase a VIP ticket. They will enjoy entertainment from 10 p.m. to midnight with the cast and crew that includes fid-dler Rosie Carver of Blackthorn, a Vancouver-based Celtic folk group.
• Tickets for Impromptu: A Kitchen Party on Saturday, Oct. 13 from 7 to 10 p.m. are $50 or $80 for VIP, which includes reserved parking, a drink ticket, admission to the after-party and a late-night snack. For more information, visit Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave.), call 604-664-1636 or go online at www.impromptugala.ca.

PMSS grad makes fashion debut
A Port Moody secondary grad debuted her col-lection at an an-nual Vancouver C o m m u n i t y College fashion gala last week.
C h a r l o t t e Clissold showed her work at the 25th anniversary of Fiat Mode, held at the the Italian Cultural Centre i n Va n c o u ve r. “Fiat Mode is a celebration of the incredible talent, creativity and ac-complishments of VCC’s fashion arts graduates,” said continuing studies dean Tene Barber, in a news release. “It’s a delight to see their skills evolve and culmi-nate in the creation of such interest-ing and dramatic pieces.”
Clissold said her inspiration “was to create an everyday fairytale through fashion.”

Painting beautiful B.C.Their love of landscapes landed them in Port
Moody.West Vancouver residents Marguerite Mahy and
Lynn Webster may have different styles for painting but they’re both head over heels for B.C.’s natural surroundings.
And tomorrow at the Port Moody Arts Centre, the pair will open their first joint exhibit, titled For the Love of Colour, focusing on the province’s spectacu-lar scenery.
They will display about 30 pieces, in acrylics and oils, showcasing oceans, boats, parks, mountains, flowers and trees — among other things — around the Vancouver region as well as the Sunshine Coast and Okanagan Valley, where Webster grew up.
Mahy, a British native who has attended art school in France and Mexico and has exhibited in Shanghai, describes her art as “semi-abstract” — that is, more focused on design, bright colours, shapes and composition rather than exact representation.
Meanwhile Webster, who met Mahy through the
North Shore Artists’ Guild, has a more soft, impres-sionistic approach to her environmental paintings and portraits. “There’s quite a contrast with our work but we both love landscapes,” Mahy said, “so we thought it would be a good idea to put them together for a show. And Port Moody seemed like an ideal place to do that,” she said.
Also at PMAC this month are pen and ink draw-ings from Rose Kapp in a collection called Classical Critters. Her birds and animals are displayed in the Plum Gallery while in the Plum Display Case is work by Rachael Ashe, who has created a paper in-stallation, called Cut. Fold. Repeat., for the facility’s Cabinet of Curiosity.
• The opening reception for the exhibits is Thursday, Oct. 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Port Moody Arts Centre (2425 St. John’s St.). The work is up until Nov. 10. The centre is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.

Season opener is a thrillerCoquitlam’s Stage 43 Theatrical
Society will launch an “angels and demons” theme for its new season with a psychological thriller next week.
The Tri-Cities’ oldest non-profit theatre group will present Dead Serious, a Jesse-award nominated murder mystery penned by Doug Greenhall about two men who fall into a web of deceit, suspicion and danger involving two siblings with a dark and secretive past.
The show runs at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre from Oct. 11 to 20. Director Maureen Robinson, a playwright who has
directed shows for Deep Cove Stage, said the cast is made up of six actors — four of whom are under the age of 22.
“One of the impetuses to bring this script to Stage 43 was the opportunity to work with young actors,” she wrote in an email. “Two of the actors, Eric Wilmott and Gordon Wilson, are both graduates of Riverside secondary school in Port Coquitlam, where they have a very active theatre program. They were inspired by their teacher, David Secunda, and the Riverside secondary school theatre program to continue with
theatre after graduating.” She added: “Community the-
atre provides stepping stones for young actors; an opportunity to continue learning and growing themselves as performers.”
Meanwhile, Stage 43 will hold auditions on Oct. 21 and 22 at 7 p.m. for its second production of the season, Murder on the Rerun. Visit www.stage43.org/auditions for more information. As well, the group will host its AGM on Wednesday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. in its rehearsal space (6-2794 Aberdeen Ave., Coquitlam). The public is welcome to attend.

Over 15 Million milk empties recycled at Return-It Depots in 2011British Columbians get top marks for their milk carton recycling e� orts as over 15 million milk con-tainers were returned to partici-pating Return-It Depots last year.
“� e volume of milk containers returned to participating Return-It Depots has tripled since 2006.” says Mike Dick, president of the BC Dairy Council.
“� e amount of cartons and jugs that we have saved from land� lls is quite signi� cant,” says Dick. “It is hard to visualize the amount, but if you were to align 15 million jugs and cartons upright and side-by-side, the distance would cover from Vancouver to Prince George – and back. � at’s over 1,500 kilometers!”� e 15 million containers weighed in at 630,000 kilograms (380,000
kilograms of milk cartons and 250,000 kilograms of plastic milk jugs). Year over year, the weight of recovered milk containers has increased by eight per cent – that’s an increase of 47,000 more kilo-grams from 2010 and a trend that the Dairy Council hopes will continue.
Number of participating Return-It Depots more than doubled� e voluntary recycling program provided by Return-It Depots allows consumers to drop o� empty milk containers, at no charge, to participating depots and it is
proving to be a huge success. Services are provided by Encorp Paci� c, which manages the Return-It Depots throughout the province that accept milk containers for recycling. Since the company was � rst contracted to service the voluntary milk recycling program in 2006, the number of Return-It Depots that accept milk empties has more than doubled from 70 to 166. � e growing network of partici-pating Return-It Depots has made it easier for British Columbians to do the right thing and recycle responsibly. Research shows that the average BC household empties 6.5 milk containers every month and that there are more than 1.8 million households in B.C., so the potential impact on the environment is signi� cant.
No deposit = no refund� ere’s no refund on milk empties (because you didn’t pay a deposit), but you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you are doing the right thing. Plastic jugs are the most popular form of packaging for milk in BC, polycoat milk cartons are also commonly used. Although polycoat cartons are not usually accepted through curbside blue-box programs, milk carton recycling is o� ered at 166 participating Return-
It Depots across the province. All milk, cream, and milk substitute (soy, almond and rice) beverage con-tainers are recyclable and accepted.
Rinse and crush milk containers for recyclingPreparing milk containers for re-cycling is easy; simply rinse them out and crush them. � is stops the cartons and jugs from smelling and makes them more compact to store and carry. It also facili-tates the recycling process. Don’t forget to remove and bring in the caps too, because they get recycled separately. British Columbians can bring their milk empties to participating Return-It Depots along with their deposit-bearing bottles and cans. It’s easy and convenient.
B.C. gets top marks for 2011 milk recycling efforts

She Who Is — by directors Siarrah Kane, Christie Kay, Coquitlam’s Jakub Markiewicz and Alia Youssef — is a movie that’s described as “exposing surprising ways that women perpetuate their own and their sisters’ oppression.” It will be screened at 2:15 p.m. on Oct. 9 at the Vancity Theatre (1181 Seymour St.) and at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 10 at Pacific
Cinematheque (1131 Howe St.). And Blueberry Haiku — directed by Coquitlam’s
Sam Massooleh as well as Shay Alford — about “an unbearably ironic poem, a pompous English teacher and a classroom full of would-be intellectuals” pre-mieres at the same times and places.
The festival screens short films made by young people under 20, and the festival tour kicks off at the Vancouver International Film Festival.

Late goal gives Express win over VictoriaBy Gary McKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
Callum Hofford’s late power play goal helped the Coquitlam Express to a 3-2 win over the Vi c t o r i a G r i z z l i e s Saturday night, aveng-ing last week’s home loss to the island oppo-
nents.T h e
Express spent the bulk of the game in a 2-2 tie, when Victoria’s
David Mazurek received a five minute major and
a game misconduct for a blow to the head.
With the man advan-tage, Hofford was able to put the puck past Grizzlies goalie Michael Stiliadis on a feed from Mitch Nardi to score the game winner and avoid overtime.
On Friday, the night
before the game in Victoria, the Express again struggled in front of their home crowd, this time in a tilt against divisional rivals the Surrey Eagles.
The visitors jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, and despite throw-ing 25 shots in the first
and second period at Surrey goalie Michael Santaguida, were not able to get on the board.
A goal from Brady Shaw midway through the final frame was the only offense Coquitlam could muster, losing the game 2-1.
But if the offense had
dried up in Friday’s and Saturday’s games, the taps were turned on Sunday against the Nanaimo Clippers.
C o q u i t l a m we n t three-for-seven on the power play and eventu-ally won the game 5-2. Express forward John Siemer got his team on
the board early in the first before Jace Hennig scored power play marker before the end of the opening frame.
In the second pe-riod, Alexander Kerfoot notched a goal with the man advantage and added a second in the third period.

Cents struggle, Ravens winJeff NagelBLaCk Press
When a flu bug hits a football team, it doesn’t take long before every-one suffers.
“One guy catches it and it spreads like wild-fire,” said Centennial
Centaurs AAA high school football coach Ryk Piche. “They sit and change beside each other. They share drinks. They share everything.”
So when the Cents took the f ie ld on the weekend to face Vancouver College, the
roster had been depleted. Grade 11s and Grade
10s were moved up the ranks to plug holes in the lineup, but in the end it was not enough to take down Vancouver’s foot-ball powerhouse.
Centennial held its own for most of the
game, but came apart in the final quarter, eventu-ally losing the game 29-20.
“Guys were shuffling around to play different spots that they normally don’t play,” Piche said.

“It is a learning thing.”Still, there were some
bright spots. Piche said he liked
what he saw from some of his younger players and the team was still able to move the ball, earning over 350 yards of offense.
But with four missing starters on the defensive side, Centennial was not able to shutdown a strong Vancouver College offense.
This week, all but one of his sick and injured players have returned for practice, and he ex-pects to have his full ros-
ter when the team takes on New Westminster secondary on Friday.
RAVENS WINOffense was sparse
during a football game last Friday between the Terry Fox Ravens and the Notre Dame Jugglers, with both teams struggling to move the ball.
The Ravens were able to get on the scoreboard early, when quarter-back Jake Bye hooked up with receiver Nick Agnoletto on a quick hitch, with the receiver shedding a tackle and ran for a 48 yard touch-down.
But the strong Notre Dame defense kept Terry Fox on its heels for most of the game, and the Ravens were only able to find the end zone one more time, when Mate McLeod-Genest pounded the ball in from the one-yard line.
The Ravens defense was equally stingy.
Notre Dame started to get on track in the first half, but a missed field goal kept the team off the scoreboard going into half time.
The only score the visiting squad was able to muster came off a blocked punt in the final quarter, which they fell
on in the end zone for their first touchdown of the game.
“The defense started playing to their poten-tial,” said co-head coach Tom Kudaba. “They showed that they are learning from their mis-takes from last week.”
Two juniors — Isaiah Stevens and Mike West — were added as start-ers on the weekend and Kudaba said the players helped the squad take the win.
McLeod-Genest had 13 rushes for 49 yards and touchdown while Kyle Deugau had six rushes for 27 [email protected]

The Port Moody Black Panthers racked up their fifth loss of the season last Saturday night, dropping a 6-0 decision to the Richmond Sockeyes at the Port Moody Arena.
The visiting team
wasted no time getting on the board, throwing 25 shots at Cats’ goalie Angus Redmond in the first period alone. By the end of the night, Redmond had stopped 50 of the 56 shots he faced.
In the second , Richmond’s Daniel Tait scored early, b e f o r e R a y n e S c h w i n g h a m m e r, Stephen Campbell and Sam Chichak added goals.
Tait was named first
star of the game while Danton Heinen, who scored an unassisted goal in the first period, received second star honors.
Port Moody’s Fraser Sutherland was named third star of the game.
