Meetings kick off next week to solicit public input on plans for theEvergreen Line

By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Transportation officials thisweek launched the month-long con-sultation for the Evergreen Line byunveiling the station designs at aCoquitlam city council meeting.

The illustrations show six con-firmed stations along an 11 kmcorridor linking Burnaby withCoquitlam, and feature glass andwood designs in well-lit areas usingthe CPTED (Crime PreventionThrough Environmental Design)standard.

On Monday, Mark Traverso, anEvergreen senior project manager,

told city council the public willget a chance to see the drawingsup close at six open houses thismonth:

• Wednesday, Oct. 13, 6 to 9 p.m.,Coquitlam city hall;

• Saturday, Oct. 16, 11 a.m.to 2 p.m., Cameron rec complex,Burnaby;

• Saturday, Oct. 23, 11 a.m. to 2p.m., Coquitlam city hall;

• Monday, Oct. 25, 6 to 9 p.m.,Cameron rec complex;

• Wednesday, Oct. 27, 6 to 9 p.m.,Inlet Theatre, Port Moody;

• Saturday, Oct. 30, 11 a.m. to 2p.m., Port Moody rec complex.

Traverso said the feedback willguide planners on the final stagesof the $1.4-billion rapid transit line,which is set to be built by 2014 —though is still partially short offunding.

Twelve non-profit groups inCoquitlam are thousands of dol-lars richer after hitting the jack-pot this week with their com-munity programs.

On Monday, city councilawarded nearly $275,000 inSpirit of Coquitlam grantsbased on recommendationsfrom a staff committee that as-sesses bids from local organiza-tions wanting a piece of the mu-nicipality’s gaming revenues.Grants ranged from $1,100 forthe Family Fishing Society to$103,000 for the Town CentreField Sport User Group for anew scoreboard at Percy PerryStadium.

BURQUITLAM: Located beside Burquitlam Plaza, on the east side of Clarke Road, between Smith and Como Lake avenues, the sta-tion will serve the current 6,000residents plus new residents as the area develops. The station willserve as a major connector for people travelling to SFU.

“We are looking forward to seeing the re-sults of this consultation process,” MayorRichard Stewart said at Monday’scity council meeting. “We are al-most there.”

City council offered briefcomments on the station de-signs, noting the lack of publicart, pedestrian crossings and re-tail businesses, and asked aboutentry locations.

Coun. Neal Nicholson, a former DouglasCollege board chair, questioned why the so-called Douglas College station — locatednext to the Evergreen Cultural Centre atthe southwest corner of Town Centre Park— would have only one access, on the south

side, at the furthest end from the college.Traverso responded that entry point was forsafety purposes and would be to cater to the10,000-plus residents surrounding city hall.

Coun. Mae Reid also pressedcity staff about a valuable, andcurrently vacant, piece of cityland across from the DouglasCollege station, between the CityCentre Aquatic Complex and thecollege, that the government has

designated as potential park andor the Evergreen Line.

“It’s not a given,” city manager PeterSteblin said. “We are in discussion with theteam. They’re looking for a place for park-ing... It wouldn’t be the ultimate use.”

“I want the word ‘potential’ in big lettersthen,” said Reid, who also suggested TransLink

add a second level of parking — and maybe ahotel — at Coquitlam Central Station.

Coun. Brent Asmundson, a bus driver withCoast Mountain Bus Company, also askedabout traffic flow at Burquitlam Station,which Traverso said would service SFU.Asmundson contended the Production Waystation, along the Millennium Line, is thecurrent feeder station for buses up to theBurnaby Mountain university.

Still, Asmundson said Coquitlam haswaited “an awful long time” to for Evergreenand said, “Our time’s now.”

PoCo looks toexceed Metro’sdiversion target

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Por t Coquitlam’skitchen waste programand bi-weekly garbagecollection could helpthe city achieve a di-version rate of 80% —10% higher than MetroVancouver’s target.

Currently, the city isable to divert 63% of itsgarbage from the land-fill to recycling and or-ganic waste streams,but with greater pub-lic participation, IgorZahynacz, PoCo’s direc-tor of engineering, saidthe number could besignificantly higher.

“With more diligentdiversion in both recy-cling and green kitchenwaste, we think 70%could be exceeded,” hesaid. “It could get up to75 or 80%.”

Since the waste-reduc-tion initiatives began,PoCo residents havereduced the amount oftrash going to the land-fill by 27% while recy-cling and organic wastecollection has gone up.

The change means

the city will save morethan $55,000 in landfillcosts this year, savingsthat will increase asMetro Vancouver raisesits garbage processingfee from $82 per tonne to$97 per tonne.

E x p a n d i n g t h ekitchen waste program,he added, could go along way toward achiev-ing the higher diversionrate. The city is lookingat making the programavailable for multi-fam-ily housing complexes,where waste collectionis generally left to a con-tractor paid for by thestrata.

A pilot study thatplaced green bins at twomulti-family buildings

on Hawthorne Avenueand one building onShaughnessy Streethave yielded somemixed results, accord-ing to a city staff report.The bins servicing the84 units on HawthorneAvenue were half andone-third full while thethose serving the 33units on ShaughnessyStreet were full. Plasticbags and other contami-nation was also appar-ent in the bins, accord-ing to the report.

“Contamination inthe multi-family unitsare a factor,” he said.“We are seeing whatmight be done to im-prove in that area.Having said that, this isall very preliminary.”

The city has alsorestructured the costof its waste bins inorder to create a fi-nancial incentive forusing the smaller, 120l carts. Those who usethe larger 360 l garbagecarts will pay more inorder to make the costof the smaller binscheaper for residents.

Zahynacz said thiswill encourage people tomake sure they recycleand compost and keepthe amount of trashthey create to a manage-able amount.

According to a citystaff report, 907 residentshave received 360 l cartssince the beginning ofthe year. Of those carts,214 were for garbage, 405were for recycling and288 were for kitchen/yard waste.

They’re OK with Coquitlam

Fewer zones, more business is city aim

Survey says Coquitlamresidents generally happy with lives here

Stories by Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam residents say theirquality of life is good and im-proving, they’re satisfied withmunicipal services and are get-ting good value for their tax dol-lar, according to an annual Ipsos-Reid poll.

The 2010 Citizen Survey, com-missioned by the city, was con-ducted on the telephone with 400Coquitlam adults between May 31and June 10 of this year and mea-sured, among other things, peo-ple’s responses to questions about

city services, taxation, transporta-tion and personal safety.

Respondents ranked trans-portation — especially the lackof rapid transit — as their topconcern, followed by munici-pal spending and crime, saidCatherine Knause, associate vice-president for Ipsos Reid, whichhas been hired by the city togauge residents’ views since 2003.

This year’s poll shows 96% ofparticipants rate their quality oflife in Coquitlam today as verygood or good, with 22% sayingtheir life has improved over thepast five years — an eight-pointincrease from last year, she said.

The reasons for the improve-ments include more recreationalfacilities, better transportation/roads and more shopping.

Still, the 14% who said their

quality of life had worsenedsince 2005 noted crime rates, highgrowth and traffic congestion,Knause said, adding the biggestcrime concerns centred aroundfear of break-ins or property theft,drugs and gangs or gang violence.

As for city services, respondentsput public works (i.e., utilities) infirst place, followed by fire services,parks/trails and recreation andcultural opportunities. Recyclingand garbage services also went up12 points over last year, likely be-cause of the change in the collec-tion contractor, she said.

“Coquitlam is on par or betterthan other municipalities in theLower Mainland,” Knause toldcity council during a presenta-tion of the results on Mondaynight.

[email protected]

Coquitlam’s industrial districtscould soon be home to more res-taurants, offices and gas stationsfollowing a major land-use over-haul proposed by the city.

City planners are looking athow to replace the current nineindustrial zones into three gen-eral categories: M1 (general in-dustrial), M2 (industrial busi-ness) and M3 (business enter-prise). The aim is to expand thelocal job market and spur eco-nomic growth by making the in-dustrial areas open to other typesof business.

Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’sgeneral manager of planning,said once a review is underwayto consider potential changes

to property classes and assess-ments, the 1,100 owners of indus-trial properties will be consulted.

“It’s a big leap when we gofrom nine [zones] to three,” hesaid at Monday’s land use com-mittee meeting, adding the cityneeds to address taxation, opera-tions and other impacts for in-dustrial owners before a publichearing is held.

Coun. Brent Asmundson saidwhile the plan is positive, the cityshould move cautiously.

Already, the review is beingapplauded by two developmentgroups that have been asked togive feedback.

“The efficient use of industriallands is a critical component of an

effective economic developmentstrategy. It will help to attract com-panies, serve the needs of existingbusinesses and ensure that high-quality jobs are attracted to thecity and the region,” Jeff Fisher,deputy executive director of theUrban Development Institute,wrote in a letter to the city.

Graeme Si lvera of theC o m m e r c i a l Re a l E s t a t eDevelopment Association wrote:“We believe that these changeson balance will encourage morebusinesses to consider Coquitlamfor a location and will allow moreflexibility for existing businesseswanting to expand to remainwithin the city.”

City targets busy beaver at LafargeCity contractor looking to relocatebeaver out of Town Centre Park


A pesky beaver that has recently chewed its waythrough about a dozen trees around Coquitlam’sLafarge Lake is being hunted by the city.

Urban forestry operations manager LannyEnglund said the city is using a contractorto live trap the rodent and relocate it outside ofCoquitlam.

It is believed the animal was not captured lastyear — when the municipality rounded up 12 or sobeavers at Lafarge — and had come in via a culvertfrom the Hoy/Scott Creek system.

Last month, the city installed an exclusion fenceat the culvert entrance to stop more beavers fromgetting into the lake.

“They’re not very agile creatures and they can’tclimb so it’s quite easy to block them,” Englundsaid, adding the city has also wrapped Lafarge treeswith wire mesh to prevent further tree chomping.

The fall is when the flat-tailed herbivores preparefor semi-hibernation and cut down trees for build-ing and winter food storage in their lodges; on theB.C. coast, however, most beavers continue to stayactive year-long because of the milder climate.

Englund said the relocation is primarily forsafety reasons as Town Centre Park, where LafargeLake is located, is popular with pedestrians, cyclistsand picnickers, and it has limited forested sur-roundings. Beavers also tend to reproduce quickly,with up to three generations living together in thesame area.

WHISTLER

The glass-and-cedar man-sions of B.C.’s Olympicplayground sparkled in

the sun as local governmentleaders arrived for their annualdate with the premier.

They swung off the new Sea-to-SkyHighway to full hotels, packed restaurants,designer shops, strolling international tour-ists and lavish government and corporatereceptions. This display of wealth and privi-lege offered quite a culture shock for small-town delegates who make up the majority atthe Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

So it was interesting to see poverty emergeas the unofficial theme this year.

I happened to be the only reporter in theroom as delegates questioned provincialcabinet ministers on building local econo-mies. The first question, tossed out as anicebreaker, was about B.C.’s minimum wage,

frozen at $8 an hour since Premier GordonCampbell imposed his market philosophyon the province in 2001. Labour MinisterMurray Coell’s admission that it’s almosttime to raise it caused a feeding frenzy by thecity media, bored as they are with small re-source towns and their hard-luck stories.

Coell tried to skate backwards when TVcameras cornered him the next day but hisoriginal point stood. The BC Liberals longago eliminated income tax and medicalpremiums for low-wage workers, and evensubsidize their rent, but the cost of livingkeeps rising. It appears B.C. will soon grudg-ingly join Newfoundland and Nunavut at $10an hour.

Lost in all this were the real subjects of theeconomic panel, such as a plea for provincialhelp to keep farms viable. Nobody talks aboutan $8-an-hour minimum wage for farms, cor-ner stores or other seven-day-a-week familybusinesses, where it’s mostly a theory.

As expected, the most divisive issue at thisyear’s convention was a proposed shift tofour-year terms for municipal councils. Here

again, a canyon separates urban and rural,rich and poor.

A Vancouver councillor now makes$61,674 a year, plus expenses for outings suchas the UBCM convention — not bad for apart-time job. In B.C.’s smallest towns, whenyou calculate the actual hours for council-lors, you find another group that doesn’tmake even Campbell’s miserly minimumwage.

It was these folks who voted down the ideaof four-year terms — three years is enoughof a commitment.

The poor were thrust into the spotlightagain when Campbell took the stage for thetraditional convention-closing speech.

After a fond look back at the Olympics,he imagined himself and Finance MinisterColin Hansen as a figure skating pair fora little self-deprecating humour about thehasty introduction of the harmonized salestax.

With the federal clock ticking, “we rushedout and we threw the HST up in the air, andwe promptly fell on our faces,” Campbell said.

“Well, we soldiered on with the program.Some were saying that the only thing we hadreally mastered was the death spiral.”

Then he got serious. He didn’t plot theHST before the election. He didn’t lie buthe accepts now that many people will neverbelieve it.

Then Campbell threw his latest pitch ina long-shot bid to save the HST and his gov-ernment via referendum next fall: The HSThelps the poor.

Tax rebates for more than a million low-income people add up to $230 a year for asingle senior or $920 a year for a low-incomefamily of four.

Campbell did not return to the argumentthat the HST helps resource industriesrecover and grow. It’s too vague for peopleintent on checking their restaurant bills.

He also knows the media are bored byeconomics, just as they are the sob stories ofsmall-town unemployment.

3 years is fineRural politicians who voted to keep the current

three-year election cycle probably have their earon the pulse of the electorate more than their

big-city counterparts.They surely recognize that those who voted for them

— the pitifully few actively engaged citizens who do— probably prefer more frequent elections. These vot-ers take their responsibility seriously and want moreopportunities to have their say in how councils andschool boards are run, not fewer. There are, after all,no opposition parties in Tri-City civic politics to raisea stink when things go bad. Voters and elections arewhat make municipal politicians accountable.

We can understand why many urban politicianswould prefer four-year terms. Saving money is one ar-gument but money spent on elections is well spent. Addanother year to the term and more voters would likelybecome disengaged, giving even less bang for the buck.Elections at least remind citizens of their obligationsand bring important issues into their field of vision.

It’s true city councillors have tough jobs to do anddifficult decisions to make. In some of the bigger cit-ies, meetings go on for hours and politicians need tobe informed on many issues. They face tough budgetsevery year and sometimes elections conflict with thosebudget discussions. But these are challenges that canbe managed without reducing the opportunities forvoters to have their say.

Another argument in favour of longer terms is thestability an extra year would bring to local govern-ments. Hello? Have you been to a council meetinglately. These institutions are as grey and predictableas the weather in November, and most councillors areincumbents.

At least elections liven things up a little and remindpoliticians under whose service they labour. Everythree years, they have to get in front of the voters andjustify their jobs once again.

Give them more time? No.Longer terms might be good for senior governments

but when it comes to decisions about garbage, taxes andzoning, local governments can and should be nimble.


TRI-CITYCITYTRI-CITY LETTERSYYYYFountain feedbackquestions decisionThe Editor,

Re. “Fleur-de-lis fountain setfor Lafarge” (The Tri-City News,Oct. 1).

The “wow factor”for me regardingthe Lafarge Lakeproject is how back-wards the prioritiescan be in our com-munity.

Rather than asking forfunding for a decorative foun-tain, why not approach thedevelopers to help fund the BearAware program?

This year has not been a good onefor the bears with which we share ourcommunity; nine have been killed andnone have been relocated.

While I am glad to finally see somefines being handed out, developersplay a huge role in the bear-humanconflict but have not contributed onenickel to the Bear Aware program.

Coun. Doug Macdonell certainly

does not speak on my behalf whenhe suggests that this is whatmakes Coquitlam residents

proud. I believe public safety,responsible develop-

ment and learning toco-exist with wild-life are much moreimportant than a

$50,000 fountain.I also believe that

Lafarge Lake does not need tobe beautified as I walk there

nearly every day and am alwayswowed by the wildlife that lives

there.Jane Thomsing, Coquitlam

AND THE MAPLE LEAF...?The Editor,

So Lafarge Lake is to get a fleur-de-lis-shaped fountain. Wonderful!

I wonder if any cities in Quebec areunveiling fountains in the shape of amaple leaf in the near future?R. Yule, Port Coquitlam

Armoured vehicle not a PoMo priorityThe Editor,

Re. “PM Police to bring in heavy-duty hardware” (The Tri-City News,Sept. 29).

The article didn’t reveal whetherPort Moody city council approved ofthe policy choice implicit in the acqui-sition of an armoured vehicle in partby Port Moody Police Department.

In my opinion, higher priorities forcity council would be:

• funding a youth intervention,diversion and gang prevention pro-gram;

• hiring an economic developmentofficer to boost employment opportu-nities within the city;

• funding an affordable rental hous-ing program;

• and free recreation centre passesfor youth-at-risk.

An armoured vehicle careeningaround the city of Port Moody is thelast thing I want to see.

I hope PoMo city council willchange this decision.Derek Wilson, Port Moody

Several Lower Mainland police depart-ments, including Port Moody’s, will be buying an armoured vehicle such as this.

The Editor,Re. “You can weigh in on

Evergreen cash” (The Tri-CityNews, Sept. 24).

A thank-you to Premier GordonCampbell for asking forpublic input on how tofinance the EvergreenLine. He might regretasking.

He says the pro-vincial coffers arebare. I suggest oncethe new roof is installed on BCPlace Stadium, it should be soldor privatized and the proceeds beused to fund the Evergreen Lineextension to Coquitlam.

I don’t think that our govern-ment should be providing an ex-

pensive, first-class venue for theentertainment industry, be it prosports or pro music. I have noproblem with the government pro-viding venues for amateur athletes

and musicians, andinfrastructure for thepeople.

I realize privatizingan asset of the peopleis going out on a limbfor this governmentbut I think it should be

and take the big step.Remember: infrastructure before

entertainment.I suggest that overtures be made

to Ticketmaster.Norbert Kaysser,Port Coquitlam

By Diane StrandbergTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

A new species of birdhas been sighted inthe Tri-Cities but orni-thologists who’ve beenscratching their headsover the flocking oflarge numbers of multi-coloured flamingos needscratch no more.

The colourful crea-tures have not blownin on the current ofsome tropical wind butwere placed on promi-nent Tri-City propertiesto launch a fundrais-ing campaign for NewView Society and raiseawareness about MentalHealth Week Oct. 3 to 9.

Campaign managerJoan Isaacs said the“flocking” is a fun wayto get people thinkingabout the agency, whichprovides supports andhousing for people withmental illness.

She hopes people willthen make a donation tohelp get a communitywellness centre built ata 10-unit housing facil-ity under constructionat 2050 Mary Hill Rd.in Port Coquitlam. BCHousing and the federalgovernment are provid-ing $2.2 million for theproject.

Isaacs said the re-sponse to the “flocking”has been great as peoplethrow their support be-hind the New View proj-ect.

“People are really en-thusiastic,” said Isaacs,

who said it takes almosttwo hours to set up theflamingos at the vari-ous locations. “I’m surethis will be an annualthing.”

New View needsabout $300,000 to reducethe mortgage and finisha commercial kitchen,complete the basement,buy appliances andfurnish the suites. Thecommercial kitchen isexpected to be the heartof the building becauseit will provide 30 mealsa day and provide jobexperience opportuni-ties for New View mem-bers in a new cateringbusiness enterprise.

“The kitchen wouldbe used for job train-ing, to [help New Viewmembers] really gainthose necessary skills toget experience that canopen doors for futureemployees,” Isaacs said.

Among the 20 siteswhere “flocking” willtake place this week areCanadian Tire in PortCoquitlam, PoCo Innand Suites, Coquitlamfire halls, Dr. CharlesBest secondary school,PoCo city hall and theoffices of local politi-cians. Coquitlam Centrewill also host a “flock-ing” Thursday andFriday (Oct. 7 and 8),where New View willsell bags of BlenzCarescoffee beans for $16.99each and get half theproceeds.

New View has servedthe Tri-Cities for more

than 37 years by pro-viding housing, recre-ational activities andjob training. It has of-fices in various loca-tions since a clubhousebuilding was knockeddown to make way forthe 10-bed-housing facil-ity but the services will

be repatriated when thenew building is com-plete.

A little green added to Share’s grocery bags

By Diane StrandbergTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

A little colour hasbeen added to hampershanded out at Tri-Cityfood banks this summerand fall thanks to thecontributions of B.C.farmers, local gardenersand a church group.

Nearly 6,000 poundsof vegetables weredelivered to the foodbanks run by ShareFamily and CommunityServices in July andAugust. The final tal-lies aren’t yet in butSeptember is expectedto be just as bountiful.

“It’s been extremelyimportant,” LeanneBeatty said of the dona-tions of vegetables.

The fresh vegetablesadd some much-needednutrients to the staplesthat are handed out toabout 400 families aweek in the Tri-Citiesand Beatty said Share’sClarke Street officehours in Port Moodyhave been extended to 7p.m. on Mondays so peo-ple can drop off more oftheir garden vegetables— the fresher the betterso produce is in goodshape when it is handed

out Wednesdays.Local community gar-

dens were a significantsource of vegetables.

A t B u r q u i t l a mCommunity Gardens atthe corner of WhitingWay and Ebert Avenuein Coquitlam, volun-teers working five plotsgrew 1,000 pounds ofvegetables for the foodbank, including toma-toes, beans, potatoes,zucchini, cucumbersand cabbage. Still tocome are spinach,swiss chard and car-rots.

“It started off slowbut it ended up being

a very good year,” saidLiz Hansen, treasurerfor the BurquitlamCommunity GardensSociety.

C o l o n y F a r mRegional Park commu-nity gardeners are alsoproducing vegetablesfor the food bank —more than 2,000 poundsso far.

Another source offresh fruit and veg-gies was the CoquitlamF a r m e r s M a r k e t ,which contributed 1,000

pounds of produce fromits vendors after eachSunday market.

“It’s so nourishingand the contributionshave been amazing,”Beatty said.

Meanwhile, HopeLutheran Church inPort Coquitlam has fig-ured out a way to con-tribute produce all year.

Every Sunday, thechurch collects about$100 to buy produce forthe food bank. Last year,Hope Lutheran raisedmore than $5,000, whichwas spent on 12,000pounds of potatoes, on-ions, apples, orangesand bananas, and aspokesperson said thechurch is close to reach-

ing its target again thisyear.

Beatty said the pro-duce is an importantsource of nutrition forfamilies who use thefood bank. She wouldlike to see more dona-tions of vegetables andfruit, and encouragespeople to donate di-rectly to Share at www.sharesociety.ca, pur-chase Buy B.C. couponsat their grocery store,which can be used tobuy produce, or dropoff their fresh fruitsand vegetables at 2615Clarke St. (in the rear),Port Moody.

Mayors react topremier’s pledgefor line to Langley

By Jeff NagelBLACK PRESS

P r e m i e r G o r d o nCampbell pledged todeliver “SkyTrain toLangley” last Friday butSurrey Mayor DianneWatts says the option ofusing at-grade light-railtechnology should not beruled out.

“I’d be surprised ifhe’s excluding any tech-nology,” Watts said, add-ing she took the refer-ence as intended to meana rapid transit line willrun to Langley, with theexact system and routeto be determined byTransLink, Surrey andLangley.

Officials in the pre-mier’s office confirmedCampbell did intend tospecify SkyTrain whenhe addressed the Unionof B.C. Municipalities.

“T he communityprefers light rail for anumber of reasons,”Watts said. “You canhave double the tracksfor the same price asSkyTrain.”

Surrey’s land massis almost as large asVancouver, Burnaby andRichmond combined, shesaid, and SkyTrain tech-nology that might workwell in those cities isless suited to the Surrey-Langley extension.

“When you’re lookingat putting rapid transitacross those kinds of ki-lometres, you need to belooking at all options,”Watts said.

TransLink will soonlaunch a new round ofpublic consultationson the routes and tech-nologies for Surrey-arearapid transit extensions.

Surrey council is alsoset to visit Portland,Oregon this month tostudy that city’s light-railsystem.

In January 2008,Campbel l unvei ledthe Provincial TransitPlan, which indicated arapid transit extensionto Guildford and thensoutheast to roughly168 Street and FraserHighway, after which aRapidBus system wouldrun to Langley City.

Campbell’s UBCMs p e e c h p l e d g i n gSkyTrain to Langleyand then RapidBus toChilliwack is being takenas a commitment to takerapid transit further thanpreviously discussed.

“I was surprised tohear SkyTrain was goingto come to Langley City,”said Langley City MayorPeter Fassbender and thechair of the TransLinkmayors’ council. “It re-flects our vision for ourdowntown and the factwe’ve already increaseddensity.”

But Fassbender cau-tioned there’s much workto be done examining therapid transit options and

stressed TransLink andthe mayors who controlfunding must considerthe broad needs of theentire region.

T h e 2 0 0 8 p l a nalso committed to aRapidBus network by2020 with bus rapid tran-sit lines running downKing George Highwayto White Rock, fromSouth Surrey through

Delta to the CanadaLine in Richmond, fromLougheed Station inBurnaby across the PortMann Bridge to northLangley and then overthe Golden Ears Bridgeto Maple Ridge and thenon to Coquitlam.

The premier’s now-stated preference forSkyTrain irks light railadvocates, who say it

would preclude the useof the existing rail trackson the old interurbancorridor, which they saycould launch light railservice at a modest cost.

“Promising SkyTrainto Langley is not real-istic,” said Rail For theValley spokespersonJohn Vissers. “Doesanybody in the FraserValley believe that’s

going to happen in theirlifetime?”

He said elevated orunderground SkyTrainis “monolithic,” withstations that are en-trenched, while at-gradelight rail stops are easyto create anywhere andcan even be relocatedfrom one spot to a differ-ent one if ridership pat-terns change.

Vissers said he’s dis-appointed the premierhasn’t looked moreclosely at the group’s pro-posal to restart a modernlight-rail system on theexisting tracks, whichhe argues would attractmore riders. “We’veheard about SkyTrainand we’ve heard aboutrapid buses and neitherof those are the future

that people in the FraserValley have been lookingfor.”

The premier’s speechalso committed to aline along Broadway toUBC but used the words“rapid transit” notSkyTrain, leaving openthe potential for lightrail or bus rapid transitthere.

By Sarah PayneTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Two weeks ago, Chantal Beaudoin and her son, Tyler, left their Port Moody home — a cosy bungalow with walls and door frames badly damaged by her wheelchair — not knowing what the Cornerstone Home Team was planning.

On Sunday, they returned to discover their home was bigger, better and, best of all — fi-nally —accessible.

“It’s just awesome,” she said Monday from her new back deck. “It’s a dream come true.”

In the three years Beaudoin and 10-year-old Tyler have lived in the Moody Centre home, she has done her best to spruce things up with a coat of cheerful yellow paint, land-scaping and a carefully tended vegetable gar-den. It has been difficult, though; in 2004, Beaudoin lost one of her legs in a train ac-cident and, after 18 months of therapy, she’s now in a wheelchair.

The ramps in the front and back of the house were falling apart and the roof over the back deck looked ready to cave in with the next snowfall. Inside, Beaudoin had im-proved the kitchen with new cabinets but had difficulty using the too-high sink and the stove — its knobs were at the back and she often burned her arms as she reached up to change the heat.

Doing laundry with stacked machines was particularly difficult, as was just getting in and out of the home’s lone bathroom.

But the house had more serious issues lurk-ing. With a 55-year-old oil heater, Beaudoin spent more than $4,000 a year on heating. An outside wall was rotting and had no insula-tion. The foundation was cracking and, just three weeks ago, the water main broke.

Russ McCann of the Cornerstone Home Team, the Cornerstone Seventh Day Adventist Church’s community outreach group, said Beaudoin’s positive attitude led it to choose her for its fourth annual home

renovation project. “She really inspired us with her cheerful-

ness and her willingness to step in and try to make the house better,” he said on day two of the project.

At that point, the house was gutted and a huge hole was being dug for an addition that would bring the home from 900 to about 1,700 sq. ft.

“We might have bitten off more than we can chew,” McCann admitted, “but it’s not easy to make it wheelchair-friendly without an addition. It might come back to bite us in the end.”

It didn’t.Dozens of volunteers made sure of that,

starting with McCann of Weatherguard Gutters and Langley’s Mitch Misyk of MTL Construction, who brought in an architect and numerous tradespeople to build the ad-dition.

A woman donated paint and her daughter used the colours to create original artwork

for Beaudoin’s expansive new master bed-room. A 92-year-old neighbour of Beaudoin’sreplaced her old bird feeders with oneshe’d made himself. Kwantlen PolytechnicUniversity’s horticulture students savedBeaudoin’s plants and landscaped the frontand back yards. A security company wiredthe home and added special touches like out-door speakers.

Much of Beaudoin’s furniture was retainedand treasured photos of a trip to Mexico werehung in the hallway; her son’s framed art-work is at the entrance to Beaudoin’s bed-room.

“I feel like a princess,” she beamed, touringthrough the new home, complete with a newfurnace and front-loading washer and dryer,a new stove and lowered kitchen sink —and a hot tub. “It’s been an emotional rollercoaster ride... but I’m just so thankful.”

Home reno ‘a dream come true’ for PoMo family


Oct. 10 to 16 isHomelessness ActionWeek in BritishColumbia. Recent fig-ures show that there areapproximately 170 home-less people now living inthe Tri-Cities.

The homeless, whoare often discon-nected from

society and community,can seem voiceless inCanada. But when itcomes to telling lifestories, we know thatthose who frequent theTri-Cities’ libraries aremore than willing toshare their narrativeswith staff and patrons.

This column featuresstories of the home-less — not third-personresearch or documen-tation, which is vitalto their plight — butpersonal stories of thehomeless in their ownvoices.

In Land of the LostSouls: My Life on theStreets, Cadillac Man

writes: “I ain’t noscholar. I ain’t no bum.I have never been goodin grammar, so therewill be misspellings andperhaps some passagesthat make no senseto you. But, hey, I’ma street person, not aRhodes Scholar. You’llsee vulgar language,nudity, street jargon,romance, etc. These aremy people, my friends,my enemies. I havechanged their names,for some are still alivesomewhere. I hope notto embarrass or shamethem. Others who died(so many), I’ll use theirreal street names to im-

mortalize them so theycan be remembered.This is my story, theirstory.” This is an incred-ible memoir, written ina series of spiral-boundnotebooks during 14years that Cadillac Manlived on the streets ofNew York. In a gritty,poignant and humorousvoice, Cadillac bringsto life the people whopopulate his New York.

“I saw a sickle moonslice through theSeptember clouds asmy left eyelid crackedopen, then clampedshut again. ‘Where arewe going?’ My voicepurred with the power-ful effects of the druginjected an hour or soago in the Esso men’sroom on Centre Street.”So begins Snow Bodies:One Woman’s Life onthe Streets by ElizabethHudson, a timelymemoir of her yearsspent as a heroin addictand prostitute on thestreets of Calgary andVancouver in the early1970s. Hers is a heart-breaking story of addic-tion, sex, violence and,

finally, the courageoustriumph of an unbreak-able human spirit. Bornin Halifax and raisedin England, Montrealand Campbellton, N.B.,Hudson attended MountRoyal College, whereshe was awarded theLorraine Hill Awardand George KirbyScholarship. Her poemsand articles have beenpublished in numerousbooks and magazines,including Maclean’s.Hudson’s two sons haveboth graduated fromuniversity and she nowlives in the suburbswith her husband, threedogs and a cat.

In the epilogue ofUnder the Viaduct:Homeless in BeautifulBC,CC Sheila Baxterwrites: “This book I havewritten on homeless-ness is just the tip of theiceberg. These stories,interviews, observationsare an intimate look athomelessness. People inthis book are real, notjust statistics. They areas I see them and hearthem; their thoughts areunedited by me. Their

voices are their own.It’s a patchwork of allcolours, sizes and depths.I’ve put them together inthis book the same wayyou quilt a quilt. Thisis not a scientific study,just the simple truth as ithappens.”

A Coquitlam manwith Type 1 diabetes willscale a volcano in CostaRica next year to buildawareness and raisemoney for the disorderhe shares with threemillion Canadians.

The international ad-venture will be the sec-ond for Bruce Sarvis,who recently took partin the Fire and IceMarathon in Icelandwith 62 members ofTeam Diabetes Canada.They garnered $445,000f o r t h e C a n a d i a nDiabetes Association —$6,160 from Sarvis.

Sarvis said he wantsto at least match hisfundraising efforts forthe South Americanevent, which happensnext May and involveshiking the Rincon de laViega national park.

As part of his drive,Sarvis designed a logoto represent Canadiandiabetics; he’s coveringthe costs for materialsand donating all themoney from the sale ofthe vinyl decals to theassociation.

“I know, first hand,the many challengesand struggles that come

continually with thisunforgiving disease,”Sarvis said in an email.“I know the power ofone person dedicatingtime and effort and

working towards a greatgoal. I have also seenhow those efforts aremagnified and multi-plied when many peoplework together for the

common goal.”• To buy a decal or to

This book is interesting and useful for sev-eral reasons. Not only does it document testi-monials of Vancouver’s homeless, whom theauthor interviewed, but it presents strategiesto combat this social problem. Interspersedamong stories of the homeless is Baxter’scareful and timely research about life underthe viaduct, complete with history, data, photo-graphs, statistics and services. Baxter is a poet,educator and author of five books on povertyand homelessness. Still active in her fightfor the homelessness, Baxter is currently in-volved with the Vancouver City-Wide HousingCoalition.

One of my favourite books by far is Downand Out in Paris and London, published in1933 and the first full-length work by George

Orwell. This non-fictional account — movingand comic at the same time — is a story in twoparts on the theme of poverty in the two cities.The first part is a picaresque account of livingon the bread-line in Paris, and the experienceof casual labour in restaurant kitchens. Thesecond part is a travelogue of life on the road inand around London from the tramp’s perspec-tive, with descriptions of the types of hostelaccommodation available and some of the char-acters to be found living on the margins.

What interested me most was the way thehomeless were kept permanently on the movein the English countryside. As early as 1652,workhouses had been established to accom-modate the homeless in a variety of ways. Lawrequired that each homeless person would beentitled by law to a warm bed and an eveningmeal for one night. Each workhouse had a

separate building, a “spike” where tramps weregiven a bath on arrival, a meal of bread, mar-garine, cheese and cocoa or the like, and a blan-ket, then were ushered to a cell to sleep. Afterbreakfast, and some paid or unpaid work for hiskeep, the tramp would be forced to walk to thenext spike in the next town. This way, the home-less could not congregate in any one part of thecountry but were always kept on the move. TheRoad to Wigan Pier (published in 1937) is yetanother chronicle describing the bleak livingconditions of the poor working class in the in-dustrial north of England, prior to the SecondWorld War.

Street Stories: 100 years of Homelessness inVancouver has text by Michael Barnholdenand Nancy Newman with photographs byLindsay Mearns. Beautiful black and whitephotographs accompany the subjects’ short

biographies, hopes and aspirations. Also pre-sented is a comprehensive and succinct docu-mentation of the history and political implica-tions of the homeless issue Vancouver. Short,interesting and easy to read.

The following are other notable mentionson the subject of homelessness by Canadianauthors:

• Queen of the Nomads: My Journey toVancouver’s Tent City by Zofia Kiefer;

• The Door is Open: Memoir of a Soup KitchenVolunteer by Bart Campbell;

• All our Sisters: Stories of Homeless Womenin Canada by Susan Scott;

• Stanley Park by Timothy Taylor.A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librar-

ians that is published every Wednesday. TeresaRehman is community services librarian at

Coquitlam Public Library.

When you go intoa restaurantand order

something from thevegetarian menu, youtrust that what you willbe ordering is truly veg-etarian fare. But there is some blindfaith involved.

You can’t duck into the kitchen andinspect the utensils and the pans; youcan only hope that vegetarian trulymeans vegetarian.

Last weekend, I had a Facebookmessage from my mom, who has beena vegetarian since she was 14 yearsold. She was out with friends in a nicerestaurant in a trendy part of HongKong. She ordered off the vegetarianmenu and trusted that, as usual, shewould get a vegetarian meal. (In Asiathey make amazing fake meat.) So ini-tially, she did not suspect anything wasawry when she chomped into sometofu. Then after a couple of bites, sheexperienced a twinge of horror: Is thisfake meat really real?

She sent it back to the kitchen tofind out that indeed this was not a veg-etarian burrito but a chicken burrito.Her faith in humanity, or at least therestaurant, was shattered. The ownerof the restaurant offered her a newmeal on the house and free dessertfor the table. It didn’t make up for theerror and the gut ache that followed.

I am a vegetarian, too, and, for themost part, I trust the labels and themenus when they say vegetarian.Honestly, it is not that hard to be a veg-etarian and to order out in most partsof the world. There is a pretty globalunderstanding that vegetarian meansabsolutely no meat. Of course thereare situations that you can encounter

where people think vegetarian means“just a little meat.”

So how far does a person go toensure their meal is truly vegetar-ian? When you are at your favouritesandwich bar, is it fair to request thatthe sandwich artist change his or hergloves after pushing grilled (and drip-ping) bacon into the sandwich beforeyours? I think so. But there is alwaysthis underlying concern that you couldbe offending someone when you makea request like this.

It is never OK, or wise, to be aggres-sive or rude with a food handler but Ithink that a polite reminder that youare a vegetarian and “Could you pleasechange your [bacon-soaked] gloves?” isan appropriate request.

My mom’s little Facebook alarmmessage made me think. How muchmeat does a “vegetarian” actuallyconsume in their day-to-day life? If youhave a little organic farm and you pre-pare all of your own food, you wouldknow with certainty what you are eat-ing and where your food comes from.

But for the rest of us living buyurban and suburban lives that can in-volve take-out lunches and restaurantmeals, how much do we really knowabout where are food comes from?How much control do any of us reallyhave about what goes into our bodies?We can read those labels and orderfrom the special menus and place spe-cial requests but there is always thatleap of faith involved. There is alwaysa chance that there could be a slip-up.

I am not going to give up now andstop being a vegetarian, nor I am sug-gesting anyone should. You have to betrue to your principles and do yourbest to monitor everything you con-sume. But there will be slips and youjust have to get back on the tofu horse.

MARIAH VAN NUS PHOTOS

Swimmers were in short supply in the chilly waters of Sasamat Lake on Sept. 26 but scuba divers from the Langley Dive Club weren’t deterred as they dove to the lake’s bottom to collect trash left there. Among the items found at the bottom of Sasamat were sunglasses, watches and even cellphones.

Scuba divers scooptrash

Forty volunteer scubadivers splashed intoSasamat Lake last weekand removed hundredsof cans and bottles, sun-glasses, cellphones andwatches from the bot-tom.

This is the third yearthe Langley Dive Clubhas done the clean-up.Sasamat Lake was cho-sen because of its closeproximity to Langleyand because of its repu-tation among divers as“dirty.”

“From other div-ers using Sasamat, itis known to have lotsof garbage on the bot-tom,” said Les Newman,owner of LangleyDiving, which sponsorsthe club.

Divers entered thewater shortly after 9a.m. Sept. 26 armed withonion sacks to fill withbottles, cans and othergarbage that had beendiscarded in the lake. Bynoon, the teams had re-moved a large amountof trash from the lakebottom.

“It just goes to showhow careless and ig-norant people have be-come,” said one of thedivers, Mariah Van Nus,17, from Delta. “This lakeis a natural resource.”

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE

Kids get the last word

On the way to a soccer game, I asked my ten year old son to brush his

hair.“Why do I always have to

brush my hair?” Sam asked. “I’m going to a game, not a beauty contest.”

“I’d like you to brush your hair please,” I responded, looking at his ratted bed head through my rearview mirror.

“Just do it, Sam,” seven year old Daisy told her brother. “Or people will think Mom’s lazy.”

Fumbling around in my purse for a pen and some paper I pulled over to the side of the road and chicken-scratched our little exchange onto the back of a receipt. This is something my children have seen me do before.

“What are you doing?” my son’s friend, Jonas, asked me.

“She thinks what I said is funny so she’s going to put it in a column or a skit,” Sam explained. “She likes it when I make a fool of myself and then she writes it down before she forgets.”

“So why is she still writing?” asked Jonas.

“Because she still thinks we’re funny,” said Sam.

He had a big smile on his face and seemed proud to be a part of my work, but as soon as we were alone I asked him what he really thought about me using the material he and his sister provided me in my writing.

“I like it,” he said. “We tell

you if it’s private or just for the family.”

And he’s right - they do. The other day Daisy made me promise not to put something in a column or a skit before asking me an important question. After I promised, she asked me something so hilarious that I’m sure I would have used it if she’d been okay with it.

She must have known that as well. The kids have caught on to what makes good material and have even suggested on occasion that I jot something down so I could write about it later.

Like every parent who talks about their kids and tells stories about them from time to time, I do the same - I just happen to tell a lot of people. For this reason I’ve always shared my

work with the kids and asked their permission first prior to

putting it out to the world. If they

didn’t feel comfortable with what I wrote I would

omit

the parts that made them feel vulnerable or tell a completely different story. So far they haven’t had an issue with anything.

But the tween and teen years aren’t far away, and that’s when I remember being embarrassed by my parents on a regular basis. I can’t imagine what it would have been like if one of them made a living writing about our life together.

That awkward age was challenging enough without having my experiences shouted out from the rooftops. But, like they do now, my kids will have their own voice and veto powers in what gets shared and what doesn’t.

Meanwhile, I will continue to enjoy the endless supply of material they provide just by living our ordinary, everyday lives.

ArtsConnect board member and Douglas College instructor Jillian Hull, with student Jenn Markham,prepare for the second Swap-O-Rama-Rama event at Douglas College Oct. 23, where participants can “re-artivate” their clothes, make something new and create a Halloween costume.JENNIFER GAUTHIERTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Swap your ‘junk’ for funk By Sarah Payne

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It was such a hit in March that devotees of thecreative swap fest known as Swap-O-Rama-Ramabegged organizers not to make them wait anotheryear.

ArtsConnect and Douglas College took notice andare hosting the second not-so-annual “re-funk yourjunk” event Oct. 23 — just in time for individualsand families to come out and craft their Halloweencostumes, a handbag, dress, hat or anything elsethat inspires them.

“The point is that you bring in good stuff thatyou don’t want anymore, and so does everyoneelse, and in the mix you work with artists who canhelp you repurpose things,” said Jillian Hull, anArtsConnect board member and Douglas Collegeinstructor who’s helping to spearhead the event.

The March event drew 300 to 500 people through-out the day, she estimated, giving participants nu-merous opportunities to discover new-to-them ar-

ticles of clothing that could be transformed withsome cutting and sewing, silkscreening, embroi-dery or accessorizing.

All the necessary equipment, from sewing ma-chines to scissors, thread and more, is supplied bysponsors like Port Coquitlam’s Sundrop Textiles.Waiting at each station will be artists and expertsto help with ideas, inspiration and technical advice,so there’s no need to feel limited by a lack of sewingexperience.

Some of the hits of the first Swap-O-Rama-Ramaincluded a messenger-style bag recrafted from aleather jacket and a dress spruced up with the trimfrom a hat.

“It has the feeling of an old-fashioned quiltingbee — this creative hush comes over the room,”Hull said, noting the process of finding a “new” ar-ticle of clothing and making it your own brings aninfectious energy to the crowd.

Her 13-year-old daughter captured that energy ina video posted on YouTube (search Swap-O-Rama-Rama and ArtsConnect).

“The best part of the event is when it gets goingand the creativity starts to happen and it just hasthis snowball effect,” added student volunteer JennMarkham. Her usual artistic outlet is in scrapbook-ing and making cards, but Markham said withplenty of sewing whizzes on hand it was easy to getstarted.

The reduce/reuse/recycle theme behind theworldwide phenomena that is Swap-O-Rama-Ramaappeals to a wide range of people, Hull said, withthe first event in Coquitlam drawing people fromthroughout the Lower Mainland.

“It’s hard to explain how great it is because it’snot just stuff that’s being recirculated, it’s the tal-ent, too,” she added. “People were so generous withtheir creativity and time.”

• Swap-O-Rama-Rama runs Saturday, Oct. 23 from10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Douglas College on PinetreeWay. Admission is $2/student, $4/individual or $6/family, plus a bag of clean, used clothes. Visit www.swaporamarama.org for more information.

There are three months left in 2010 and RockyMilino Jr. is admittedly a tad nervous.

This past year hasn’t been exactly stable, filledwith break-ups, deaths and family drama that havecaused a lot of unwelcome stress and anxiety in thePort Moody musician’s life.

Still, the turbulence has also given Milino plentyof fodder to fill his two-year songwriting hole. “Assoon as everything let go, it made sense and I justcouldn’t stop,” he said.

This summer, Milino forced himself to put pento paper and write two songs with bandmate NateCavalli of Cause4Drama. They cut “Rockstar”and “Naughty All Night” at Mushroom Studios inVancouver in June.

His producer Jeff Dawson — of Daniel Powterand State of Shock fame — encouraged Milino todo more and release a CD. Out of their union camethree additional tunes in August: “Too Strong,”“Anything” and “Burn.”

“We just cranked them out. The wheels wereturning and we just wanted to keep doing more andbe in that zone, really focused,” he said.

The CD, titled Burn Burn Burn, Milino’s sixthrelease, went up last week on iTunes.

Milino is reflective of the latest work, given hisroller coaster year. “I think they are the most tru-est lyrics I’ve written,” he said during an hour-longinterview at a Port Moody cafe. “They’re simpleand honest and I look at every single one and I feelthere’s a message buried in them. I guess, some-times, you have to go through some pain before yousee the light.”

At 28, Milino is ready to turn the page, concen-trate on his music and promote it around B.C.and Alberta; a tour is planned this spring withCause4Drama, which includes guitarist Cavalli,

drummer Brian Tansley and Chris Nagle on bass.In between, the Archbishop Carney graduate

keeps busy with his day job as a diesel mechanic,boxing and nighttime gigs. On Nov. 9, the band playsthe Roxy in Vancouver and it has several otherdates lined up over the next few months at the JohnB. Pub in Coquitlam and at Rusty’s in Cloverdale.

Having performed since 12, the stage has alwaysbeen where Milino has found the most peace.

But the studio is where he’s pushed the envelope.Listen to his CDs from the start and you can hearhis sound progress from the blues (No AdmittanceUnder 19) to pop (9 Alyson Is An Alien(( ) and now, justplain rock ‘n’ roll.

Also peppered between his musical journey wereTrying 2B Someone (2001); The Green Disc (2005);cand Disco Amarillo (2006).

Overall, Milino’s glad to have his creative juicesflowing again. “I’m in a really good place right nowand I’m happy with the way things are going in mylife. Let’s just hope it stays that way for the rest ofthe year.”


Port Moody resident Rocky Milino Jr. released his sixth CD, Burn Burn Burn, with his band Cause4Drama.

Bryan Francis of the Terry Fox Ravens (right) and Lucas Krivak of the Charles Best Blue Devils fight for the ball in a Fraser Valley North AAA seniorboys’ high school soccer matchup at Dr. Charles Best secondary last week.

Panthers overcome weak start


The Port Moody Black Panthers might want to consider highlighting the start times on their locker room schedule.

The junior B hockey squad did not look ready to play until the second period in both of its weekend bouts, forcing the team to overcome early goal deficits.

But despite the sluggish starts the Black Panthers man-aged to end its three-g ame losing skid with a pair of victo-ries over the Ridge-Meadows Flames on Friday and against the Delta Icehawks on Saturday.

Port Moody got into some penalty trouble early in its Ridge-Meadows matchup, surrendering the first goal during and early Flames power play.

Panthers forward Mico Dragntinovic managed to tie the game a short-time later on a feed from Timothy Colsh and James Benz, however the team let in two more to make it 3-1 Flames by the end of

the first.But in the second

period it was the Ridge-Meadows squad that ran into pen-alty trouble and the Black Panthers were able to turn the game around.

Benz scored the team’s second marker of the game, followed by a power play goal from Ryan Panichelli to tie the game.

The team managed to pour some more of-fence on the Flames with goals from first-star of the g ame forward Cameron Lawson and Brandon Millin, both on the power play.

Port Moody goalie Pierre Voyter stopped 26 shots in the 5-4 vic-tory, while the team went three-for-five with the man advan-tage.

On Saturday the Black Panthers strug-gled early, allowing two unanswered goals in the opening frame.

But in the third pe-riod goals from Chris Stew, Panichelli and Millin helped the Cats take a 3-2 lead, which they managed to hang onto until the end of the [email protected]

Anemic power play costs Coq. Express


The Coquitlam Express may have the third best power play in the BCHL but the squad’s man-ad-vantage prowess was not on display Saturday night against the Langley Chiefs.

The home team went zero-for-five with the man advantage while getting burned three times short-handed in front of a crowd of 743 hockey fans at the Coquitlam Sports Centre.

The Express got off to a good start with a goal from Garrick Perry off a feed from Matt Mazzarolo. Jason Grecica also scored, with Perry and Massimo Lamacchia notching the assists.

But neither team was able to take the lead at the end of the first pe-riod after Langley scored a couple of their own tallies from Mason

Blacklock and Josh Myers.Coquitlam’s scoring dried up in

the second and third period as theteam ran into penalty trouble.

Langley’s Matt Ius and TrevorGerling both managed to notchpower play goals in the second halfof the game to take a 4-2 win overthe Coquitlam squad.

Coquitlam goalie Luke Hernandezstopped 20 out of 24 shots in the loss.Khaleed Devji stopped the lone shothe faced after relieving the startinggoalie with 10 minutes left in thegame.

Galley earned first-star honoursfor his work with the Chiefs whilePerry received the second star ofthe game for Coquitlam.

The team will next play Surreyat the Coquitlam Sports Centre at7 p.m. on Friday followed by a roadgame rematch against Langley onSaturday.

Melanie Prentice scored the go-ahead goal with a 22-yard free kick to help her Coquitlam Metro-Ford Synergy to a 3-1 victory against Semiahmoo in under-18 girls soccer on Sunday.

Two goals by Kayla Mobilio rounded out the scoring in the victory at Dr. Charles Best second-ary, while Gina Graham and Melissa DiStefano had solid games on de-fense.
