JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Principal Derek Passaglia (centre) welcomes students and parents back to school at Coquitlam’s Glen elementary Tuesday morning with the help of Grade 5 student Alexander (right). The first day of school is a brief affair as heads are counted in the first hour before staff spend the rest of the day assembling classes. The first full day of classes is today. The first School District 43-wide pro D day is Friday, Sept. 21.
Escalating fines for transit cheats By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Transit fare evaders will face higher fines down the road if they refuse to pay their tickets for being caught without proof of payment in a fare-paid zone. Last Friday, TransLink unveiled escalating fines that start at the same initial level of $173 but will now climb to $213 after six months and $273 if unpaid after a year. The changes took effect yesterday (Tuesday). see NEW FARE FINES FINES,, page 8
Food bank needs a fill-up Back-to-school means increase in food demand By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Share food bank is down to less than a few weeks’ worth of food, with supplies expected to drop even
lower with the start of school this week. PriceSmar t Foods in Coquitlam is hoping the community will come out to re-stock the shelves through to December with a Food Bank Fill Up on Friday. Donations of cash and/ or food can be dropped of f at the Pinetree Village store (formerly Save-On Foods). Pre-
p a ck a g e d h a m p e r s, priced at $10 and $15, can also be purchased. “It’s a really important event for us,” said Martin Wyant, Share’s CEO. “Like all of the other food banks in the Lower Mainland this year, we’ve all been struggling and we’ve seen our numbers continue to grow.” Share provides relief for at least 900 Tri-
City families every two weeks; of the recipients, 43% are children. Those numbers are nearly 60% higher than they were just four to five years ago, when the economic crash hit, Wyant said. “It’s never levelled off,” he added. “We had a significant bump in that recession and every year since then, it’s just continued to grow, so we
need to lean on the community even more than we have. Every year we’re just trying to keep pace with the demand we’re seeing.” Share is aiming to repeat last year’s successful filling of a semitrailer, which would require about 40,000 pounds of food. see ‘CRUCIAL CRUCIAL TIME’, TIME , page 6

Power lessons in old plant Riverview’s central steam system was state-of-theart in 1924 and may be again as Coquitlam looks at energy ideas for its newest developments
THIS SERIES
• Over the next few months, as Riverview Hospital closes and the property approaches its 100th anniversary in 2013, The TriCity News will publish a series of articles by reporters Sarah Payne and Diane Strandberg about the people who worked, lived and had family there.
By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
R
iverview Hospital is known for many things — most notably its century-long history as a place of healing for the mentally ill, its famed arboretum and manicured grounds, and the property’s striking architectural gems — but the steam plant, towering over Lougheed Highway just west of Pitt River Road, isn’t one of them. The steam plant is that large, blue behemoth that just about every Tri-City commuter has driven past and, while it can fairly be described as ugly, it’s a powerhouse in every sense of the word, having supplied at its peak 27 buildings (and 10 cottages) at Riverview via 28,500 feet of underground pipes. But what makes it unique, other than its comparatively lacklustre architectural merit, is its status as a district energy system. Back when it was built in 1924, the notion that a central building could heat a web of surrounding buildings was pretty state-ofthe-art. “This was really leading edge when it was built,� said Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge, chair of the Riverview lands advisory committee. “A district energy system is one of the things Coquitlam is looking at today — what’s old is new again.� In fact, he said, Coquitlam is considering centralized community energy systems for new developments on Burke Mountain and at Fraser Mills, as well as at existing facilities in Town Centre. A dynamic heat exchange system was incorporated into the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex during its recent renovation and expansion. And while the technology at Riverview’s steam plant is now considered outdated, the concept remains viable. The plant was originally fired by coal that was brought in on barges that docked at Colony Farm and transported up the hill. In 1971, the system was switched to cleaner-burning natural gas for longterm cost savings and environmental reasons. A back-up oil supply, located directly up-slope from the steam plant, was pressed into service during the region’s last major snowfall, about four years ago. So what’s really at work behind those big blue walls? In short, steam is generated by the boilers and then conveyed via underground pipes to 14 separate buildings and 10 cottages, where a combination of direct heat (steam radiators), forced air (air handling units with steam coils) and heat exchangers (steam to hot water for hot water radiators) provides indoor heat. Hot water comes from storage tanks with steam coils. But even as the steam makes its way around Riverview, it’s losing, well, steam. That lost heat converts to condensate, which is captured by steam traps and held in condensate recovery tanks. It’s then pumped via condensate lines, running parallel to the steam distribution lines, back to the boiler house, where it’s turned back into steam — and the process begins all over again. Information from the Ministry of Labour, Citizens’ Services and Open Government states that Riverview’s steam plant appears to have been a state-of-the-art system for its time.

Aging infrastructure could be challenge qualified technicians,� he said. “And to operate just one building, you have to have the central plant up and running.� A government staffer likened it to boiling a massive kettle full of water for just a single cup of tea. “It’s great for heating 1.5 million square feet but it’s not so efficient for 200 square feet,� Hodge added. “But

Similar systems are now used in Victoria and Vancouver, New York and in several European cities. Coun. Hodge said the challenge with Riverview’s system is its aging infrastructure. “The pipes are quite old and require heavy insulation, and the system has to be staffed 24/7 by
we’re looking at it as a way of heating a cluster of buildings.� And whether it can continue to be used for potential future uses of Riverview — whatever
those may be — will require a lot of digging by an expert to determine where the pipes and boiler house infrastructure are at in their life spans.
“This has been a very good system for about 90 years,� Hodge said. “And it’s still a leadingedge distribution system.� spayne@tricitynews.com

Shoppers at Por t Moody’s Thrifty Foods can touch and see original artwork when they pay for groceries. This summer, 20 TriCity artists — emerging and established — volunteered their time to paint eye-catching designs on the bars that divide customers’ groceries at the checkout of the Suter Brook store. The project was the brainchild of Jillian Hull, a city arts and culture committee member, who noticed the shop didn’t have any advertising on its bars. She asked the store manager, Darren Gardner, to see if local artists could use the double-sided dividers as a canvasses. The idea took off, with Tri-City businesses donating supplies and services, including Port Coquitlam’s Tri-City Paint and Decorating and AAA Aluminum and Craftsman Collision in Port Moody. “The cashiers told me that even in the first couple of hours,

‘Crucial time of year:’ Wyant continued from front page
“Our goal is to support the people of this community the best way we can,” store manager Leigh Yochlowitz said in a press release. “It’s during the summer months that donations tend to be the lowest, and so we are thrilled to have the support of PriceSmart Foods at such a crucial time of the year,” Wyant said. He added that demand tends to increase in the fall when kids head back to school. “It’s always the things we don’t think about — the fees, the clothing, knapsacks, pencils. It does start to add up, so we do see a spike in need at the start of September.” The food drive runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 7 in the PriceSmart Foods parking lot (2991 Lougheed Hwy.), where volunteers are hoping to fill a semi-trailer full of food. There will be hot dogs and popcorn for sale, with proceeds going to the food bank, as well as live entertainment. Food donations most urgently needed are: rice, pasta and pasta sauce, canned meats (ravioli, beans), canned fruit, Lipton Sidekicks, Hamburger Helpers, Shake & Bake, Kraft Dinner, juice, canned tomatoes, cereal and peanut butter (medium size). Share also needs volunteers throughout the day for a variety of tasks, including welcoming patrons and collecting donations.
Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Heather at 604-5295107 or heather.stacey@ sharesociety.ca. spayne@tricitynews.com

The province this year gave TransLink authority to collect fare evasion fines after Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom vowed to fix a long-running enforcement gap that let scofflaws ignore their fines. Now, TransLink will have the power to send unpaid fines to a collection agency and ICBC will refuse to issue or renew a driver’s licence or vehicle insurance to drivers who owe unpaid transit fines. “It allows us to enforce fares a lot more stringently,” TransLink chief operating officer Doug Kelsey said. “The people who pay should not be subsidizing the small group who don’t pay.” Previously, fare evasion fine collection was the province’s responsibility but the tickets were going into a black
hole, with ICBC, for example, not doing anything to spur payment. As a result, most people who were handed tickets never paid them and about $4 million in unpaid fines stacked up each year. Transit Police last year issued 57,000 fare evasion tickets — nearly $10 million worth and more than in most previous years — and the force has continued to step up fare enforcement this year. Until now, Transit Police were the only officers who could issue fare evasion tickets but under the new rules, Coast Mountain Bus Co. transit security officers will also have that power, extending more fare enforcement to buses. TransLink will also keep all money from fine revenue; previously, it went to Victoria. And TransLink is
opening a new website (www.translink.ca/fareinfraction) where riders can pay fines, dispute tickets or appeal decisions. Fare gates are also being installed that will next year bar entry to the open SkyTrain stations without proper payment. Past audits have estimated 4% to 6% of transit riders don’t pay their fares, resulting in a loss of $18 million, compared to total fare revenue of $412 million. Kelsey estimated the fine collection system cost TransLink $1 million to set up and will take $500,000 to $750,000 a year to run. He expects the revenue from paid fines will more than offset the expenses, giving TransLink a net increase. But he said it’s possible more people will end up paying to ride and that fewer fines will be issued.
“Some of it may just disappear into people paying their fares,” Kelsey said, “so we won’t know. If it drops significantly that’s actually a good sign because it turns into fare revenue instead of ticketing.” Since an estimated 30% of fare evaders don’t have driver’s licences, Kelsey said bill collectors should help and the province has indicated it could withhold certain government benefits in extreme cases. TransLink might also seek to ban known offenders from the transit system, he said, noting it’s too early to tell how that would work or if it would be pursued. “None of these is a silver bullet,” Kelsey said. “But it absolutely helps strengthen us and give us tools we didn’t have before.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

New Pay P Parking in City Ce Centre New pay statio stations and street pay parking will be in place for or Sept September 1, 2012 around the city centre.

A All other existing City pay parking lots and on-street pay y parking will remain the same with updated pay stations. The new solar-powered pay stations are compatible with h the new 2012 coins. This change wil will streamline pay stations, make ake it harder for vandals to break the machines, and help recover operational costs. The new pay stations are simple to use: drivers park in a space, walk to the closest pay station, enter their license plate number and pay for the amount of time desired with cash or credit card. As of September 1, 2012 all parking enforcement on City lots and streets will be performed by City of Coquitlam Bylaw Enforcement Officers. fi

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
W
ith a provincial election less than a year away, B.C. politics have understandably been dominating the news agenda. But a large federal issue is looming and Tri-City residents, especially those living in Port Coquitlam, will want to pay attention. The issue? The planned re-drawing of federal riding boundaries. Preliminary maps have been distributed and there will be changes before the boundaries are finalized. But if voters are concerned about the way the new ridings will take shape, now is the time to raise the alarm. For the most part, the riding changes are good news for Tri-Cities federal voters. We would be sending three, not two, MPs to Ottawa and efforts have been made to keep the communities of Coquitlam and Port Moody intact. Under the proposed redistribution, the Tri-Cities would be cut in half, using the Barnet and Lougheed highways as the divider: Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam (population 103,632) would be to the north and Port Moody-Coquitlam (population 97,621) to the south. The rejig would mean the existing ridings of Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam and New Westminster-Coquitlam would disappear by the next general election, which will be held Oct. 19, 2015. These ridings make sense because they keep a sense of continuity and current MPs James Moore and Fin Donnelly, recognizing that more tweaks are likely to come, seem somewhat satisfied with the new boundaries. But if the aim is to keep communities intact, Port Coquitlam loses out, according to this proposal, and would be split up into three ridings. One would see south Port Coquitlam joined to a Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge riding (population 96,956) and doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. It’s hard to see what increasingly densifying PoCo neighbourhoods would have in common with the rural and suburban communities of their neighbours across the Pitt River. Still, these boundaries are not set in stone and there is time to comment during a public meeting in Coquitlam on Sept. 27 (to make a presentation, email bc-cb@rfed-rcf. ca). Don’t leave the decision to somebody else, take a look. For more information, visit federal-redistribution.ca.
A crude attempt at separating oil from manure BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA was as surprised as anyone to hear about the plan by this newspaper chain’s owner, David Black, to begin regulatory work on an oil refinery for Kitimat. I’ll leave it to others to comment on the practicality of that plan and whether it would make the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to B.C.’s government and population. Black Press news coverage, columns, letters to the editor and other reader comments are not affected by this project, and there has been a range of views expressed already. Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society. And that’s a good thing because, as someone with a basic knowledge of chemistry and some experience in oil refining, I have noticed a lot
I

of ignorance about the subject. Today, I’d like to address some of the main misconceptions that have been exploited by some opponents. The first one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment. A global study by the Smithsonian Institution in 1995 calculated the amount of oil making its way into oceans this way: Big tanker spills accounted for 37 million gallons a year, about 5% of the total marine oil pollution identified. By far the largest source was oil runoff from land into drains from oil changes, municipal and industrial wastes and other sources: 363 million gallons. Bilge cleaning and other routine ship maintenance added 137 million gallons, four times the tanker spill average. Air pollution from vehicles and industry deposited hydrocarbon particles equal to another 97 million gallons; natural seeps added 62 million gallons; offshore drilling discharges accounted for 15 million gallons. So that’s the first thing to understand: It’s

not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting — it’s you and me. Then there is the propaganda about greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the highest-profile pitchmen for the false notion that “tar sands” oil generates three times the greenhouse gases as conventional oil. The facts are clear. The most widely cited source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which shows that 75% of greenhouse gases from all types of crude occur when the gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are burned by the end user. Yes, there are variations in emissions on the remaining quarter. Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gasintensive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conventionally drilled. Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of
Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington State for more than 60 years; it has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course, Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt.

Middle-schooler makes meringues — and money By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Entre preneurship is thriving at the Port Coquitlam Far mer’s Market. Vendors as young as 12 are serving customers delicious treats, such as lemonade and meringues, and the profits are helping them make plans for their future. One thriving booth is run by Vassilina Kazarina, 12, who is in Grade 7 at PoCo’s Pitt River middle school. Her delicate, puffy meringues were snapped up by young and old alike last Thursday. She has been selling approximately 300 meringues a week at the market — they take her all day to make — and she has saved a considerable sum she hopes to spend on a trip to Paris one day. “I saw the farmer’s market and I thought, I want to participate in this,” says the Port Coquitlam girl who lives near the market. Her mom gave her the idea of making meringues and she has been making them ever since, purchasing the materials with the money she makes. “Some customers come every single week to buy my meringues,” said Kazarina, who was born in Russia and moved to Canada in 2005. It has been a lot of work, but worth it, and Kazarina plans to come back to the market again next year, perhaps with different coloured meringues and more flavours. But for now she’s content to keep making her bestsellers. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Firefighters bare for a cause By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Three fit Coquitlam firefighters went topless to raise money for groups supported by the Vancouver Fire Fighters Charitable Society. Brent Glenen, Len Pashley and Chad Buch are featured as Mr. February, Mr. March and Mr. June respectively in the 26th annual Hall of Flame calendar, due to be launched Sept. 14. The beefcake photos, snapped by Darko Sikman, show 12 firefighters from various Metro Vancouver departments in different scenes with their smoke-eater gear on and their shirts off: Glenen is pictured in a kitchen while Pashley is near
the Pan Pacific Hotel Vancouver and Buch is next to a fire truck. Buch told The Tri-City News the calendar gives firefighters a chance to collect cash for causes such as the Burn Fund, CKNW Orphans’ Fund and the BC Children’s Hospital “in their own unique way while having fun and a sense of humour at the same time.” He added that the exposure “has been a great, once-in-a-career opportunity for myself and fellow colleagues.” The calendar has raised about $200,000 for the society’s chosen charities in the past five years and more than $1 million since it started 25 years ago.

Cops crash That’s no body, that’s my brother Project X Coquitlam RCMP officers crashed a party before it started last Friday night. The Project X party, intended to be a small gettogether, quickly grew after invitations spread through social media. One of those landed in the hands of police, who warned they would be on site to turn teens away. “We were successful party poopers,” said Const. Jamie Phillipson. Police had the address of the home where the party was to take place but, as the expected numbers grew, the planned location shifted to Mundy Park. Phillipson said officers located several groups of teens who were out looking for the party Friday evening and “they were quickly turned away.” Other news:
LOST AND FOUND
The two people reported missing last week have both been located safe and sound. Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson said Deborah Sylva, a 38-year-old Coquitlam resident, was located in Surrey. Fhionna McCormick, a 12-year-old Port Coquitlam girl, returned home on her own. spayne@tricitynews.com

this year is an honour. “ Added Glenen: “I am happy to be able to volunteer my time and represent my fellow firefighters for this awesome cause.

Coquitlam searchers add helicopter rescue to arsenal Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteers have a new tool at their disposal when extracting people from remote areas. Eleven members of the crew are now trained to use the helicopter external transportation system (HETS), a technique that allows rescu-
ers suspended from a chopper to be inserted into small openings in the forest canopy. “T he tool is now one of many our team can implement during a task,” said Garry Mancell, president of Coquitlam SAR. “We join a handful of teams in the
province with a full suite of highly skilled members who can do swiftwater, mountain, avalanche, high-angle and medical rescues as well as search management, now HETS.” With HETS, a searcher is suspended from a helicopter on a 100- to

situations where searchers believe walking out would put the victim or rescuers at a greater risk. “The decision to use HETS is not taken lightly,” he said. “There are a whole range of factors the SAR manager and HETS team look at,

Stay fit on your Thud the mud own time – and starting Sat. on Mundy’s trails on a budget Starting Saturday, Sept. 8, a new session of Mundy Mudthudders’ informal walking group will be held Saturday mornings. Based in the urban forest trails of Coquitlam’s Mundy Park — and branching out to other local parks, including Como Lake, Rocky Point, Belcarra, White Pine and Colony Farm — this co-ed group will appeal to those wanting to kick-start their weekend by meeting up with others who share an enthusiasm for the great outdoors and who are already walking at a steady pace for one hour. It’s a refreshing way to connect with nature and gain fitness within the safety of a group of like-minded folks who love to explore scenic park trails. Comprehensive map books will be provided for a nominal charge and group walks are held rain or shine. Mudthudders meet at 10:30 a.m. Saturdays on the west side of Mundy Park, near the trailhead at the foot of Regan Avenue, adjacent to Hillcrest middle school, near Como Lake Village. For more information, email mundymudthudders@yahoo.ca.
Everyone knows regular physical activity is good for our hearts, minds and waistlines. But it can be a challenge to find the time to keep our exercise routines ongoing and engaging. Busy adults can drop into AquaFit classes at City Centre Aquatic Complex or Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Classes are held throughout the week to work with many different schedules. AquaFit classes include: • Water Running — a great way to increase cardio without the impact of running on land; • AquaFit Zumba — a water fitness workout with Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves; • and Gentle AquaFit — water aerobics designed for people with limited mobility, arthritis or injury. As well, a monthly term pass offers savings, convenience and flexibility. With a one-, six- or 12month pass, users gain unlimited access to aquatic, weight room and drop-in activities at all the Coquitlam pools and fitness centres. The fitness centres at City Centre Aquatic Complex, Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, Pinetree community centre and Glen Pine Pavilion provide a variety of registered and drop-in activities, including indoor cycling, Zumba, yoga, pilates, kickboxing, weight room circuit training, and beginner fitness programs. For more information on monthly passes and other services available, call Coquitlam Parks, Recreation and Culture Services at 604-927-4386 or visit www.coquitlam.ca.

and wholesome, minimally processed foods. It has many flavourful, nutritious recipes and includes foods that can be found close to your home. For a twist on an old classic, you can try the Tofu Pumpkin Pie with Gingersnap Crust. If you are new to baking or just need a refresher, Bake! Essential Techniques for Perfect Baking by Nick Malgieri is a good place to start. His book has instructions with illustrations of how to create perfect baking basics, including crispy pie crusts and soft, tender dough for buttery brioche. This book immediately caught my eye, and I couldn’t help but flip through it. The photographs are mouthwatering and it’s difficult to decide which recipe to try first. Farming and eating go hand-in-hand — you cannot have one without the other. Chefs Jeff Crump and Bettina Schormann, co-authors of Earth to Table: Seasonal Recipes From an Organic Farm, share with their readers just how important working with farmers and arti-

he chill is in the air and our gardens are full. The previous months of planning, planting and tending crops are now beginning to show their bounty. Apples hang heavy on trees, blackberries demand to be foraged and pears show off their golden hue. With all this delicious fruit craving attention, sometimes it’s hard to come up with creative ways to ensure our garden’s offering goes un-wasted. Here are a few inspirational books to help fill your kitchens with sweet aromas: A trip to the farmer’s market on a sunny late summer morning can be a lot of fun but what to do with all the great local ingredients you buy? Clean Food: A Seasonal Guide to Eating Close to the Source with more than 200 Recipes for a Healthy and Sustainable You u by Terry Walters is the answer. This cookbook is a great resource for creating dishes with fresh produce
sans is when it comes to cooking good food. The authors tell the story of how they worked with their local farmers, and on their farms, to gain a better understanding of where their produce comes from. Along with its delicious recipes, this cookbook offers unique insight into the intricacies of farming. If you thought living with a food sensitivity meant you cannot indulge your sweet tooth, think again. Whether you have a gluten sensitivity, are vegan, allergic to dairy, diabetic or just want a sweet treat without all the consequences, Babycakes by Erin McKenna a is the book for you. McKenna opened a bakery in New York several years ago and since has become so well known that people have travelled across the country to visit it. Most of her recipes are refined sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan. The best part is that you would never know the difference between one of Erin’s to-die-for desserts and the “real thing.” A list of cookbooks is not complete without one

by Martha Stewart. Her book Pies and Tarts: 150 Recipes for Old-Fashioned and Modern Favoritess is a must-have for any baker. Her book offers up a wide range of choices, from easy and rustic to layered and decadent. I like this cookbook because it has recipes for many fruits that are in season during harvest time. Last year, I found myself with more peaches than I knew what to do with. I found the perfect recipe in Simply in Season: 12 months of Wine Country Cooking. This is a book that you will want to own. Author Tony De Luca, a chef in the Niagara area, shares his seasonal recipes that were inspired by the southern Ontario wine region. The book is organized month by month, making it an easy-to-use resource to have on hand. The Peach Tarte Tatins recipe is now a part of my permanent collection.

He is affectionately named Kisses because when he is lounging on your lap, or by your side, he will give you plenty of little kitty licks to show his affection. Kisses would do best in a calm home with no other cats and no young children.

Music fest marks its 60th year By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
T
PLACE DES ARTS
Goga Bayat’s Nostalgia II is one of 39 photography pieces part of a new exhibit that opens tomorrow (Thursday) at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts.
Poetry in photography By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
About five years ago, the husband-andwife photography team of Edward Peck and Phyllis Schwartz decided not to show their work as part of the annual Artists in Our Midst. Instead, they toured the studios of other Vancouver snappers who were displaying their pieces that year, and they got to know more about those artists and how they created. “I realized how interesting these people were and decided to ask them out for a coffee,” Schwartz remembered. “So, one Sunday afternoon, we got together for a chat.” From that initial gathering, the halfdozen photographers sometimes ventured out together, took pictures and met on a monthly basis to critique each other’s work. In 2010, they had their first group ex-
hibit, titled Grounded in Reality, in the Byng Gallery. Tomorrow (Thursday), the Artists in Our Midst alumni — as they are known — will have their second group display, titled Poetic Abstractions: Seven Visions, in the Atrium Gallery at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts. There are 39 images from seven artists: Goga Bayat, who created her pieces in her native Iran; Robert Charles; Barry Luger, president of Artists in Our Midst; Rob Will; Eva Knell; and co-curators Peck and Schwartz. Schwartz’s two pieces in the show, called Wish You Were Heree and Chesterman Beach 1, are from a new collection she created while working in a condo she and Peck rented near Tofino in February. They are handmade negatives that are later digitized. “I bypass the camera altogether and get straight onto the negative,” she said. “It’s like I’m working more as a print maker.”
Schwartz, who has her BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and has exhibited at the Port Moody Arts Centre, as has Peck, said the group plans to display again. “We are all very creative people and, when we all get together, the energy seems even more so,” she said. Meanwhile, Place des Arts’ teachers and staff will also launch their annual group show on Thursday in the Mezzanine Gallery. The opening reception starts at 7 p.m. and runs in conjunction with Ignite... an affair with art!, the facility’s open house to promote upcoming programming for adults. Participants can join hands-on visual art demonstrations, win door prizes and get $10 off a class registration fee; teachers and administrators will be on hand to answer questions. There is no admission cost. • For more information, visit the centre at 1120 Brunette Ave. or call 604-664-1636. jwarren@tricitynews.com
here have been tears of joy and sorrow, trophies awarded and hearts broken. It’s been a whirlwind 60 years for the Coquitlam District Musical Festival (CDMF), with tens of thousands of competitors performing their best and anxiously hearing the results from some of the best adjudicators in the business. It all started in 1951 when Beryl MacLeod, a Port Coquitlam music teacher who ran MacLeod Music on Shaughnessy Street, dreamt big. Every year, she would hear about local parents, children and teachers take the long drive or train ride out to Vancouver to compete in the Kiwanis Music Festival and return home — often late at night — bleary eyed from the tedious journey. She suggested PoCo hold an arts festival of its own, an event that would make the municipality a destination for young musicians. And so, with the help of Velma Manion, one of five music teachers who worked at MacLeod Music, and other volunteers, MacLeod founded the CDMF society whose mandate — according to its constitution — was to “foster music and kindred arts.” With few funds but enthusiastic community support, CDMF officially launched on March 23, 1953, gaining 128 entries in 60 classes. Three years later, CDMF hired two more adjudicators to handle double the entries and, by 1957, organizers were forced to expand the festival to five days for the numerous piano, vocal, bands, accordion, strings, drama/speech arts, highland dance and ballet entries. A decade after it started, CDMF boasted 1,100 entries with the Vancouver Sun commenting, “Your standards are to be envied. From a tiny festival 10 years ago, you are now second to none.” Music teachers around the Lower Mainland paid attention to CDMF, which was usually the first festival in the region of the year, as competitors not only excelled but placed at the provincial and national levels. Dance prevailed so much that it prompted a letter from organizer Helen Thomson who, in 1973, wrote: “The dance section is the hinge on which the balance of the festival swings.” By the late 1980s, CDMF’s dance section generated more than 3,000 entries a year and competitions were so big that they had to move from PoCo to the Shadbolt Theatre for the Arts in Burnaby and, for larger groups, the Massey Theatre in New Westminster. see ANNIVERSARY ANNIVERSARY,, page 28

Anniversary concert next week continued from page 27
The dance section alone took six weeks to complete, remembered CDMF president Harold Peters. But the large number of entries and the lack of volunteer support translated to the CDMF board canceling dance, piano and other instrumental categories in 2005. Luckily, piano retur ned four years later (and resulted that year in a grand national piano champion for CDMF: Andrew Wang); however, dance was cut altogether from the festival. Strings returned in 2010. Today, CDMF attracts about 700 entries for piano, strings, speech arts and vocal (musical theatre and classical voice) over the monthlong event at the Hyde Creek community church. And it continues to draw top-notch talent, said Thelka Wright, who co-ordinates the strings and speech arts sections. Wright points to the success of CDMF competitors over the past 60 years, among them, Canada’s first Rockette Betty McHardy; actor Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future); crooner Michael Buble; concert pianist Jon Kumura Pa rke r ; a n d K i m Cattrall (Sex and the City), who is quoted in a local newspaper article years back saying, “I got my start at CDMF.” Local stars have also shone brightly while competing at CDMF, most notably Cori Caulfield (Caulfield School of Dance); Kim Bunka (Undiscovered Theatre Company); and Leanne Koch (Place des Arts vocal trainer) — all of whom will pay tribute to the festival at a 60th anniversary concert next week. The two-hour show at PoCo’s Terry Fox Theatre will be a retrospective of sorts, acknowledging the CDMF pioneers: MacLeod, Manion (now an honourary president) and longtime assistants Reid Anderson (artistic director of Stuttgart Ballet and a past CDMF competitor), Perry Ehrlich (Gotta Sing! Gotta Dance! creator) and Henry Waack (music program founder at Douglas College), who are honourary patrons. • T i c ke t s t o t h e Coquitlam District Music Festival’s 60th anniversary celebration concert — happening Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate, Port Coquitlam) — are $15/$5 at the door or by calling 604-941-6476. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Summer success for ballet students
Tri-City News Wednesday, September 5, 2012, A29
NEW TRENDS
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Two ballet students — one who is taught at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts, the other a Port Moody resident and graduate of Dr. Charles Best secondary — are soaring high after a successful summer. Last week, Jeannine Haller, 16, got word she’ll be part of the professional program at Canada’s National Ballet School, an invitation that came after she was in the Toronto school’s intensive in July. “I am heartbroken to be losing my best student, but so thrilled for her because [the National Ballet School] is the right place for her to flourish and bloom as a dancer,” said Lucienne Anzykowski in an email to The Tri-City News. “Dancers at this age don’t get accepted into professional training schools easily.” Also kicking up his heels is Daniel Alwell, 19, who recently learned he won a $4,000 schol-

Alwell said he plans to retur n to Europe after graduating next May — hoping to win a place with a contemporary dance company — because “there are so many more opportunities over there for a dancer....

Basso boots in five in SFU season debut By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam’s Carlo Basso kicked off the Simon Fraser Clan men’s university soccer home season with a boom Friday. The SFU junior and Archbishop Carney high school grad pumped in five goals as the Clan blasted the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack of Kamloops 6-0 at Terry Fox Field. The six-foot-four Basso knocked in four goals in the first half, then netted his remarkable fifth marker with 27 minutes remaining. His five-goal showing was one shy of the Clan record of six goals in a game, first set by Rob Cirjak in 1988 and matched by Alex Hanne in 2009.
“It was a great start to the season after a pre-season where, at times, we didn’t play our best,” said Clan head coach Alan Koch. “It was great to see Carlo score five goals.” Alex Rowley bagged the Clan’s other tally, with J.D. Blakley scooping the shutout. BASSO On Sunday, another Coquitlam product –– midfielder Jovan Blagojevic –– pounded home two goals to guide the Clan to their second straight victory to open the campaign, a 3-0 triumph over the Vancouver Islander Mariners again at Terry Fox Field. “I thought, at times, we could have played a little better,” said Blagojevic, a Centennial secondary school grad and SFU sophomore.
“We were slow to pinch when we should have at times but we had some good stuff going on, too. “The wingers were able to go out their players and get the crosses in like we should. We finished pretty well for the most part but there’s still a lot of work to do and hopefully it gets better from here.” The Clan out-shot the Mariners, 9-4. “The first goal was a free kick and, to be honest, I just wanted to get a good cross in there. I got a lucky bounce and it went in the back of the net,” Blagojevic said. “The second one I intercepted the ball and my first thought was goal, so I went for it. I beat the one guy, hit it well and into the net it went.”
