Coquitlam will be reviewing sedimentation control requirements for Burke Mountain developments in the wake of unusually heavy rains on the weekend that sent mud, water and debris from construction sites pouring down Coast Meridian Road and into ditches and creeks. For the most part, erosion control measures put in by developers worked well considering the high volume of rain, said Verne Kucy, the city’s acting environmental services manager. But a few couldn’t keep up with the flow and, in one case, a contractor didn’t have proper sediment-control measures in place. The mayor has said

Good weather for fish in local creeks: page 9 that developer has been shut down — a tougher penalty than a fine — and won’t be permitted to start construction again until the problem is fixed. “You can imagine, we simply won’t tolerate this,” Richard Stewart said. Kucy said the city will be looking at its requirements for erosion control during construction and will be working with contractors to ensure proper measures are in place for the next rainfall, expected later this week. see STREAM OF MUD, page 9

Amanda Todd remembered

The executive director of Coquitlam-based Children of the Street Society is calling on Premier Christy Clark to set up a provincial program that would stop children from being sexually exploited online. Diane Sowden, who is also a Coquitlam school trustee, acknowledged that she met with Amanda Todd’s mother before the girl’s death about how to deal with a cyberstalker. The teen, who spiralled into depression and despair after an online predator allegedly distributed an inappropriate image of her, has inspired numerous anti-bullying campaigns. But Sowden, who said she doesn’t want to exploit Todd further by making an example of her, said sexual exploitation is at the heart of the tragedy and more should be done to protect children.

A LETTER ‘She will be loved more than you haters can hate,’ a friend of the Todd family writes. See page 11

An elderly security guard from Surrey is recovering in hospital after being viciously assaulted Sunday at a Port Coquitlam construction site where he was working. Hoshiar Singh Bajwa sustained more than 50 stitches as well as head injuries after he was beaten by three men at the Pitt River middle school construction site. The 65-year-old was

able to phone 911 but Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said given his condition, he was unable to provide police with much information. “His injuries are pretty extensive,” Chung said. “He received many stitches. A weapon may have been used but, at this point, we don’t know.” What police do know is that three men approached the security guard at around 3:30 a.m. One of the men is described as a white male, 5’7” tall who was wearing a hoodie with a white stripe on it. see NOTHING TAKEN, page 8

Vigil planned for Friday in Coquitlam By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

A candlelight vigil will be held for Amanda Todd this Friday evening at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam. Organizer Shawna Iverson said she expects more than 500 people to attend the 6 p.m. event and she hopes more will join. Her daughter was in a dance class with Todd when the two were young and, although the families lost touch, Iverson said she wanted to offer Tri-City youth a place to gather in Todd’s memory. “It’s hard these days to be a kid with social media and everyone taking pictures with their cell phones but we need to find better ways of protecting them,” said Iverson, who works with young people as a basketball coach at her daughters’ schools. “I know it happens all over, this bullying, but not a lot of kids speak up. “I just hope through all the towns doing these vigils — it’s for Amanda but it’s also for everyone being bullied.” The vigil will feature musician Corbin Vander Zalm, who will play the song from the video Todd recorded before her death, and possibly her teacher and school prin-

Above right, young people light candles in memory of Todd during a gathering Monday afternoon at Memorial Peace Park in Maple Ridge. cipal. Participants will be lighting the pathway at Lafarge with candles and Iverson said many young people are bringing balloons in Todd’s favourite colours. Organizers are also assembling poster boards with photos that can be

signed and given to the Todd family. Local businesses are donating coffee, hot chocolate and tents. Similar vigils are being held across the country; for more information about the Coquitlam vigil, search Facebook for

Amanda Todd Hometown Memorial & Candlelight Vigil. Todd died last week in an apparent suicide after suffering years of bullying. About a month before her death Todd posted a nine-minute YouTube video in which

she detailed the abuse she had suffered, including being asked by a person to expose herself via a webcam when she was in Grade 7. When she refused to provide a more explicit show, the person distributed the earlier images

to Todd’s teachers, family and schoolmates, resulting in the bullying. The Grade 10 student had lived and attended school in Maple Ridge but was most recently living with her mother in Port Coquitlam. She switched to the alterna-

tive school CABE in Coquitlam to try to escape the bullying but the cyber-torment followed here there as well. Earlier this week, online “hacktivists” claimed to have found the man who blackmailed Todd. Various media reported that a group calling itself Anonymous tracked down a 32-year-old New Westminster man and published his name but, when contacted, he said he knew nothing about the group or any connection with Todd. Another man with the same name was tracked down to a Surrey provincial court appearance; he’s facing charges of sexual assault and sexual interference of a person under 16 in connection with an unrelated incident in Surrey. He told CTV News he was friends with Todd online but that he didn’t bully her. Since her death police have received hundreds of tips regarding the online predator, as well as attention from media around the world. Sgt. Peter Thiessen, spokesperson for the Lower Mainland District RCMP, said further information about their investigation was not available before The Tri-City News’ deadline. spayne@tricitynews.com

Kids 11 & 12 educated What parents should look for continued from front

“We need to sit down and get the main individuals that work in this field together and make sure it’s more seamless,” Sowden said. Her group has been trying to address the issue of child sexual exploitation for years but with the exponential growth in child luring online and what she says is a 900% increase in child pornography over five years, has shifted its focus to teach children how to behave appropriately

online through workshops at schools. Students as young as 11 and 12 years are being taught to be careful of revealing personal information and images. There’s also the problem of what to do when a child discloses that they have been approached by a stranger online or posted a personal photo. “It’s really difficult to support them because they don’t want anyone to know about it, they don’t want to share,” Sowden said. “They have a lot of shame...

You can’t get it back once it’s out there.” Her group is trying to address the matter through prevention but said more law enforcement is necessary to crack down on child lurers, and more resources are needed to help children and families. To strike back, the group has started a media campaign against online predators (www.predatorwatch.ca) and those who are contemplating hooking up with a young person on line. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Most children and youth having thoughts of suicide show signs of their distress, although some do not. Some of the changes families and others may see in children and youth who may be at risk for suicide include: • Talking about suicide or a plan for suicide. • Saying things like, “I’m going to kill myself,”“I wish I were dead,” “I shouldn’t have been born,”“I won’t be a problem for you much longer,”“Nothing matters,” or “It’s no use.” • Making statements about hopelessness, helplessness or worthlessness.

A local educator and bullying expert says events like Amanda Todd’s suicide challenge the community and create sadness as well as fear. Cindi Seddon, principal of Summit middle school and author of two books on bullying, urges parents to stay in touch with their children’s Facebook pages and be on alert for worrying behaviour. “If you see anything of concern, get a hold of somebody — police, whatever,” Seddon said, noting, “The kids know before we do.” Seddon will be a panelist during a presentation about bullying Oct. 24 at Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam. The event, planned by the Joint Family Court and Youth Justice Committee in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross, was in the works long before Amanda’s muchpublicized death. It will go ahead and, Seddon says, should answer questions parents have about bullying. Bullying: It Ends With You will include a screening of the documentary How to Help: A Youth Perspective on Bullying. Experts in the field will also be on hand to field questions and give advice. Bullying: It Ends With You will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. Oct. 24 at the Terry Fox Theatre, 1260 Riverwood Gate, Port Coquitlam. Register at www.eventbrite.ca (online registration) or bullyingitendswithyou@gmail.com.

• Sleeping all of the time or unable to sleep. • Having trouble concentrating or difficulties with school work. • Complaining frequently about physical symptoms often related to emotions, such as stomach aches, headaches or fatigue; changes in eating and sleeping habits. • Showing impulsive behaviours, such as vio-

lent actions, rebellious behaviour or running away. • Increasing or excessive substance use. • Becoming suddenly cheerful after a period of depression (this may mean the youth has already made the decision to escape their problems through suicide).

Students and staff a t A m a n d a To d d ’ s Coquitlam school are asking the public to give them time and space to deal with their grief. In a statement issued Monday by School District 43, the Coquitlam Alternative Basic Education (CABE) school said Todd chose the school because it is a small, tight-knit community where “she could feel safe and cared for.” “We were able to wrap supports around her and give her a fresh start. Amanda was a caring, sensitive student who was deeply connected to the students in her class and her teachers. She was eager to be well and move forward with her life. She was open about her ongoing struggles and hopeful for her own wellness and the ability to help other students.”

The statement also said the school is respecting the wishes of the family to not divulge personal information about Amanda. “Our focus is shifting to caring for the members of our school community that have been deeply impacted by this tragedy,” the statement said. Meanwhile, Todd’s mother Carol, a Coquitlam teacher, told The Vancouver Sun that the video her daughter made before she died should be shared and used as an anti-bullying message. School District 43 is putting together a list of resources for parents about bullying and will make it available soon, said spokesperson Cheryl Quinton.

other fourplex proposal at 279 Tenby St., located at the end of a cul-de-sac near the Trans Canada Highway. Both bids are expected to go to public hearing next month. Adopted last year, the city’s Housing Choices program allows for owners of large lots in Burquitlam and southwest Coquitlam to redevelop their land with multi-family units or lane homes. Meanwhile, also at next Monday’s public hearing, staff will present a bylaw text change to the RT-3 zone to set minimum standards for parking for new triplexes and fourplexes. Under that policy, developers will be required to have 1.5 parking stalls per unit. Other Coquitlam news: HIGHWAY

City looks to developers to build amenities along line By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Developers that build multi-family housing around the Burquitlam and Lougheed Evergreen Line stations in Coquitlam will soon have to pay an extra fee to the city. On Monday, Coquitlam council asked city staff to formally consult with the development industry about its plans to implement community amenities contributions (CAC). Under the program, which council has yet to approve, landowners wanting to rezone a property close to the Evergreen Line hubs for new housing at or below a floor area ratio (FAR) of 2.5 will be required to pay a flat fee of $3 per square foot. CACs wouldn’t be applied to commercial or private amenity floor spaces, city staff say. The CAC proceeds would go into a city account that would fund new public amenities in the neighbourhood. It is expected CACs would generate up to $25 million — $3.2 million over the next four years alone — once BurquitlamLougheed is built out. CACs are common in Metro Vancouver as a way to raise cash to build or expand public facilities. Vancouver charges developers $3 per square foot for standard rezonings to build or add to community centres, libraries, child care nodes, parks, transportation services, cultural areas and neighbourhood houses. Surrey levies $110 to

And New Westminster and Langley City also impose CACs. At Monday’s council meeting, Coquitlam city manager Peter Steblin said CACs can pay for capital projects that development cost charges can’t under the current provincial legislation (DCCs pay for infrastructure such as sidewalks and streetlights). Steblin said city s t a f f h ave s p o ke n with Burquitlam and Lougheed developers about the pilot program and said they are gener-

ally accepting but they also want more clarity as to how the money will be used and when. City planner Andrew Merrill said the amenities would be identified with the new Burquitlam Neighbourhood Plan and the parks and recreation strategic plan. Steblin noted there will be a “priority-setting process” with department managers this fall that will look at topics such as affordable housing, a sore point in Burquitlam as many low-income families are at risk of being displaced with the upheaval in the area. D o n Vi o l e t t e , a Burquitlam Community Association director, said his group has been

pressing for a community centre for years, especially as the neighbourhood transitions to high-density housing. Last night, he was planning to raise the topic of CACs with the association’s executive. “We’ve lost most of our public amenities,”Violette said. “We want those replaced and, in my opinion, the CACs are a good way to get the money to do that as we grow.” Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development, said other highgrowth areas of the city such as City Centre and Partington Creek on Burke Mountain may also have CACs imposed if the BurquitlamLougheed pilot program is successful. Coun. Lou Sekora, the only councillor so far opposed to the program, warned CACs will make North Road area homes unaffordable as costs will likely be passed on to buyers. Feedback from the development industry is expected to be part of a staff report that will go before city council later this year, Merrill said.

Hikers, not prepared for heavy rains, are rescued By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Two hikers spent a cold, wet night on Burke Mountain after leaving a trail Saturday afternoon in search of a better view. A 39-year-old man and his 18-year-old nephew set out on the Woodland Walk trail and at some point decided to go off the trail to search for a viewpoint, possibly a waterfall, said Coquitlam Search and Rescue manager Jim Delgrande. The pair called Coquitlam RCMP, which then called in search and rescue volunteers, at about 9 p.m. They were able to use their GPS device and relay their coordinates for what appeared to be a “simple search,” Delgrande said. “It was dark, pouring rain and very heavy bush, very treacherous terrain. From all accounts it was as nasty as anything people have been in... so it turned out to not be so simple.” It took a two-person team an hour to locate the hikers — who by that point were cold, wet and exhausted — about 200 m from the trail. Searchers got them

IN QUOTES

“It was dark, pouring rain and very heavy bush, very treacherous terrain. From all accounts it was as nasty as anything people have been in.” Jim Delgrande, Coquitlam Search and Rescue into dry clothing and created a shelter for the pair to rest while they waited for additional volunteers to help get them out. They reached the bottom of the trail at about 5 a.m. Sunday.

Delgrande said the pair was lucky they were in a location where their cell phones worked, and that they had plenty of battery life and flashlights. “But they weren’t well

equipped for the rain and it was just an appalling day,”he added.“And going off the trail, unless you really know what you’re doing, is almost never a good idea. You have to be prepared to back out the way you went in.” He also cautioned hikers not to be lulled into a false sense of security because they have a GPS device. “It can be a very useful tool but it doesn’t mean you can go wherever the fancy takes you,”he said.

14 years for killer from Coquitlam Mou disposed of wife’s body BLACK PRESS

A Coquitlam man who pleaded guilty to killing his estranged wife has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 14 years. Zhongming ‘James’ Mou, 36, was originally charged with first-degree murder in September 2011 in the death of Burnaby resident Yating ‘Lancy’ Hu, 27, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of seconddegree murder last week. Hu was originally believed to have been last seen on July 15, 2011 when her husband said he dropped her off at her Metrotown-area apartment. He reported her missing three days later after he said she missed

several appointments they had together and he couldn’t contact her to return their two small children after the weekend. Mou’s husband later said he last saw her July 16 leaving the home they shared in Coquitlam. Hu’s body was recovered Aug. 27, 2011 from the Fraser River near Steveston in Richmond. She was the mother of two small boys who have been in the care of their grandparents since Mou’s arrest. “Lancy Hu is missed by her family including her parents and her young boys,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, in a press release. “This tragedy will require endless healing for those who loved her.”

Descriptions of the two other suspects have not been determined and Chung said police are hoping that as Bajwa’s condition improves, he will be able to provide more information. In the meantime, police are searching the scene for any video surveillance footage. Investigators are also trying to determine if anything was stolen from the construction site. “As far as we can tell, nothing was taken from the site,” Chung said. “But we are working with the [construction company] to see the records of inventory.” He added that security guards, like regular citizens, should act as the eyes and ears for police and should not intervene in situations where criminal activity is taking place. Instead, they should phone the police, Chung said. “There are times when they might feel comfortable intervening,” he said. “Sometimes if you have a co-worker with you, or the persons you are intervening on are younger... but intervening is not always a viable option and they should [phone police].” Anyone with any information about the suspects is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550. Those who wish to provide information anonymously should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or go to www. solvecrime.ca.

“That type of rainfall will expose weaknesses in some of these erosion-control systems,” Kucy said. “We’re not happy with everything [but], in the overall, I think people are cognizant and they are getting better and recognizing it.” The stream of mud and water that overflowed ditches and spilled onto roads drew complaints from residents and brought city councillors, employees and contractors up to Burke Mountain on the weekend. “When I drove up, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” said Shane Peachman of the Hyde Creek Watershed Society. He said mud and silt were flowing down Coast Meridian Road from above David Avenue, and silt — dangerous to fish because it clogs their gills — was so bad it plugged filters at the hatchery and volunteers gave up replacing them. Peachman criticized the contractor he said hadn’t completed sediment-control measures before the rain started. “You cannot leave your site like that,” Peachman said, noting that other contractors managed to get to their sites on the weekend and were working to fix the problem. Polygon president Neil Crystal said his company’s workers were on site Sunday trying to deal with the deluge and plans are in the works to add additional ditches to deal with future heavy rains. “It was a heck of a lot of rain and the system was designed and approved, but that much rain... we’re sort of reinforcing what’s in place,” Crystal said. “Hopefully the problems won’t occur. It’s been a challenge up there.” Crystal said problems can start further up the mountain and will wash out sediment-control measures, even those built to withstand the deluge. “It’s the downstream guys that catch it,”he said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Rain a boon for fish By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

The weekend weather may not have been good for humans but it was great for fish, which used the high water to make their way up local creeks and streams to spawn. At Noons Creek in Port Moody, a few chum were spotted and a few more were identified in West Smiling Creek in Coquitlam. “We probably had more rain on the weekend than we did in the last three months,” said Port Moody Ecological Society member Dave Bennie. Th e h e av y r a i n s caused the water level to rise so high in Noons Creek that the footbridge had to be closed, he said, adding, “My first concern was safety.” newsroom@tricitynews.com

Something Special’s on the Menu.

SANDRA NIVEN PHOTO

Noons Creek was the eye of the storm on the weekend when heavy rains turned it into a rushing river of sediment, branches and stumps. Noons Creek hatchery volunteer Dave Bennie said the water level was so high, the footbridge over the creek had to be closed. Still, other than moving a few stumps and rocks around, there was no damage done to the creek or hatchery, and a few salmon took the opportunity to move up the creek to spawn.

Education can be protection T

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

he international outpouring of shock, disbelief and grief at Amanda Todd’s death tells us much about how we use social media to connect and how little we understand the consequences of using it. It’s clear the worldwide web has opened up a Pandora’s Box of issues among our young people but when adults freely give up their privacy to a company that harvests their personal details for profit, it’s hard to expect children to know any better. This is not a case for shutting down the internet — as impossible a task as stopping the tides — for the instant knowledge and communication it offers is a huge benefit; nor is it a call to put more rules or laws in place to stop pornography, bullying, the distribution of hate messages and other horrible attributes of anonymous, instant and pervasive communication. Anti-bullying, child pornography and hate laws backed by enforcement obviously need to be in place but the problem of child victimization isn’t easily stopped. The more walls that are erected, the more fun the challenge is for hackers and haters, the malware makers, the virusmongers, the attention-seekers and the sexually perverse. It’s an endless game of Whack-A-Mole, with solutions always just out of reach and more children at risk every day. It’s better to inoculate children against victimization so they can be more proactive about their own safety. Get them at school, in the home, at church and in the community centre. Children as young as five need to know how the internet works and who profits from it. They need to know what risky behaviour is and the consequences of it. They need to know when online teasing becomes bullying, the difference between strangers and friends; and who to go to if they are being bullied.

NDP critic’s fantasies won’t keep BC Ferries afloat BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA t was a sunny Thanksgiving weekend when I took my first all-transit trip from Victoria to Vancouver for a BC Lions game. Despite all the doomsaying about people shunning ferries because of some media-determined“tipping point”in fares, you wouldn’t have guessed it that weekend. Articulated buses were jammed coming and going from the Tsawwassen terminal to the Canada Line. Returning to Vancouver Island on Sunday, I was struck by the crowds — and the low cost: SkyTrain, express bus to Tsawwassen, walkon passenger fare and express bus to Victoria totalled about $20. This explains the surge in walk-on traffic. BC Ferries issued bulletins advising first that Tsawwassen’s parking lot and then Swartz Bay’s were full. The Tsawwassen First Nation’s shuttle parking next door was overflowing,

with cars tucked into every level space. And even with hourly sailings, the major route had plenty of vehicle traffic, with all available vessels running. Now, the long, late summer is gone, and the political theatre resumes. Transportation Minister Mary Polak picked up where the retiring Blair Lekstrom left off, reminding people that BC Ferries is going to deal with rising costs primarily by ceasing the practice of running vessels a third full or less. This comes as“consultation”begins with smaller ferry communities on where and when these sailings will be cut. And it follows the first major price-cap decision by the newly empowered BC Ferry commissioner, Gord Macatee. He now can determine service levels as well as fares, which are permitted to rise about 4% in each of the next three years. The NDP’s ferry critic, North Coast MLA Garry Coons, has decided to transition to his government pensions next year but before he sails away, he has doubled his repertoire of outraged sound bites to two.

Together, our families enjoyed play dates and day excursions throughout the Lower Mainland. We celebrated many important milestones and holidays together. We saw Amanda’s enthusiasm for life and watched her grow. You, bullies, have consciously chosen to condemn and torment Amanda for being human. She made a mistake. You justified your actions and hid behind the fact that she made mistakes. Well, so have you. You have relentlessly, incessantly tormented a young woman who was not a threat to you. You are far from pure and innocent. Your mistakes are heinous and irrevo-

cable, for even if you were able to get past your egos and become human, Amanda will not come back to us. I do not wish your families to suffer the loss of your life. Your families most likely love you in spite of your mistakes and flaws. We loved Amanda just the same. While you will most likely remain faceless, nameless beings to me, you are not powerful.

She will be loved more than you haters can hate. S. Grant, Port Coquitlam

Hormonal Breakouts?

Not Just a Teenage Problem! So much easier being a girl…

Hormonal breakouts affect many teenagers today. But teenagers are not the only ones; acne can strike adults too - more than half of all adult women and about a quarter of adult men.

Like most people, I too, struggle with acne… One problem I have particularly struggled with has been my jaw line and back… That’s when EstroSense entered my life and changed it for the better…After the first 3 months, my back and jaw breakouts have diminished significantly. On top of it, virtually all my PMS symptoms have almost disappeared…it’s so much easier being a girl now. Beauty Blogger Ellie S.

Many women will typically see breakouts during their menstrual cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. Estrogen dominance due to hormone replacement therapy, the birth control pill, xenoestrogens from the environment (BPA, phthalates, parabens) or a sluggish liver can also contribute to hormonal breakouts.

EstroSense is a unique natural formula that helps maintain healthy hormone balance by supporting the liver and in turn, healthy skin.

Therefore I know that I have never done anything to you that warrants this unnecessary, excruciating pain you are inflicting on me and the many, many, MANY people who loved Amanda Todd.

The Editor, Re. “It’s time: Coquitlam needs its own museum” (Opinion, The TriCity News, Oct. 12). The column calling for a Coquitlam museum hit the mark. Coquitlam is long overdue for a museum in which to showcase its dynamic history, people and environment. A museum would preserve our past, provide learning opportunities for students of all ages, draw people to the city and, perhaps most importantly, make local history accessible to our citizens. It seems that there are many B.C. communities of much smaller size and means that have been able to open and operate museums. Frankly, it is surprising that Coquitlam does not have space for its history. A city as large, diverse, historic, with as much character (not to mention as many characters) as Coquitlam deserves a window on its past and its place in the larger community surrounding it. I commend the Coquitlam Heritage Society for its hard work and vision. Let’s see if our city council has the will, vision and commitment to build a cultural institution that will serve the community for many years to come. If we can spend a couple million dollars on the Spirit Square, then certainly there must be funding available for a museum. Teresa MacLeod, Coquitlam

Mayors eye unspent tax Transit officials say there really is no surplus By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

The federal government could, with the stroke of a pen, solve TransLink’s cash crunch by letting it spend a growing pile of federal gas tax money on operating costs, not just to buy buses. That’s the argument Metro Vancouver directors are making and they’re asking Ottawa to make the change, freeing up about $120 million per year in gas tax the federal government already offers but TransLink has not been fully spending. “All of our problems would be solved — the expansion we’ve requested could occur,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan told the Metro Vancouver board Friday. Ottawa hands over most of the gas tax it collects to cities and, in Metro Vancouver, it is allocated to TransLink. It’s separate from the 17 cents a litre TransLink directly collects and can spend without restriction. But TransLink is not allowed to spend the federal tax on anything but new transit vehicles when what it really needs is operating money to pay for drivers, fuel and maintenance bills to run more of the buses it already owns. As a result, the unspent federal gas tax fund has ballooned to a $400-million fund that has Lower

that shows on the books as unspent. “It’s not as if this is not going to be spent,” Paddon said.“It’s all going to be spent — when the order is complete.” Ottawa doesn’t allow the gas tax to be used for operating expenses, he said, and, even if it did, TransLink could not treat it as a reliable ongoing source as it is subject to federal renewal and is not permanent. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender also cautioned that using the gas tax fund for operating costs would leave less available down the road for capital spending, adding that might merely trade the short-time crisis for longer-term challenges. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Number of homeless at shelter low By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Less than three weeks since the opening of the bridge shelter at Port Coquitlam’s Grace Church, the Hope For Freedom Society is already boasting a couple of successes. Rob Thiessen, executive director of the society, which operates the shelter, said so far two people who spent the night at the church have decided to enter into recovery programs. With outreach workers on hand, he said, the shelter can often be a gateway to programs and transition housing that can get people back on their feet. “It’s clicking along,” Thiessen said of the shelter. “A couple of them have decided they want to come off the street.” The first few nights the shelter was open, attendance averaged around three people. Several days later, that number jumped to six and is now hovering around the dozen mark. But Thiessen said just because the weather is getting wetter and colder does not necessarily mean shelter attendance will continue to increase. “We have never been able to make any connection between attendance to the shelters and the weather,” he said. “Mostly, it is word of mouth.” When the shelter was first proposed last spring, many residents in the surrounding neighbourhood opposed the plans. They feared the shelter would bring increased loitering and crime to the neighbourhood. Thiessen provided two community contacts who would be available to respond to concerns 24 hours a day but so far, no calls have come, he said. “It has worked out really well,” he said. “The neighbourhood’s concerns haven’t really developed.” The bridge shelter will run at Grace Church until the end of March, providing homeless people with a warm place to stay during the winter months.

students serving Students at Heritage Woods secondary will prepare dinner for a group of homeless and people at risk of becoming homeless at a local business Thursday night. The volunteers are part of a group called Kodiaks with a Purpose, which puts together a meal at Gerry Sly’s Boyd Autobody (1099 Lansdowne Dr., Coquitlam) at least four times each year. “It is pretty amazing,”said Sly.“The students get a firsthand look at what is really going on.” Sly has hosted dinners for those in need every Thursday since he realized how many homeless people were living in the bushes in the surrounding area. In recent years, he has enlisted the help of other community members, including the students. Tomorrow, the volunteers will be putting together a full turkey dinner for 20 to 35 people. Dinner starts at around 4:30 p.m. and all are welcome to attend.

Ready for The Big One? (Real or not) Earthquake drill set for Thursday morning across the province By Sarah Payne ThE Tri-CiTy NEws

On Thursday at precisely 10:18 a.m., there will be an earthquake. Are you ready to “drop, cover and hold”? The “earthquake” is really a simulation known as The Great British Columbia ShakeOut, when businesses, families, schools and cities are encouraged to participate in the province-wide earthquake-preparedness drill designed to test whether you’re prepared for The Big One. C o q u i t l a m , Po r t Coquitlam and Port Moody staff are all participating in the drill at their respective city halls and other municipal facilities. School District 43’s board office and several elementary and middle schools are also participating. “It’s an excellent opportunity to put it in the forefront of your mind,” said Greg Kanya, Coquitlam’s emergency program manager. “It makes you think about personal preparedness as well as your family’s preparedness.

“You won’t have the opportunity necessarily to be at home with your family [during an earthquake]... but with just a little bit of preparation, everyone will be much better off.” There are about 5,000 earthquakes in Canada every year, most of them in B.C. Most are small but at least nine quakes in or near Canada in the past century have registered a magnitude of seven or higher on the Richter scale. Anything above a magnitude of six could do extensive damage to the TriCities, making preparation one of the most important tools for the cities. The cities’ emergency program staff are reminding colleagues throughout the week of the upcoming drill and will alert them at 10:18 a.m. either through the telephone system, email or intercom, or a combination of all three. The ShakeOut website also offers a 60-second recording of earthquake sounds to play for added effect. Cecil Unrau, PoMo’s emergency program manager, said he’ll be looking for feedback from a staff survey to see how prepared people felt.

pared at home, how can they be expected to come in and help the city in the off chance of a crisis?” PoCo’s emergency program officer, Tara Stroup, is also focusing on ensuring city staff are prepared at home so that they can come to work and help residents through the aftermath of an earthquake. “This is a really good exercise for us to highlight that for our staff: ‘Have you got the 72-hour kit? What do you have in your kit?’” she said. “We’re just seeing what the level of response is and working from there.” Everyone can participate in the ShakeOut drill on Thursday at 10:18 a.m., when it’s time to “drop to the ground, take cover under a table or desk and hold on it” for at least 60 seconds, according to the ShakeOut website. While you’re under cover, look around and imagine what would happen in a major earthquake by checking for items that could fall on yourself or others, what would be damaged and how you would recover after the event.

“It’s a bit of a remembrance.”

Giving new life to a tragic train Coquitlam train buff & pals get old engine on track By Mario Bartel

BlaCk Press

t was a transcendent moment when the 1,750-horsepower diesel engine turned over and the oldVIA 6300 FP9 rumbled to life for the first time in six years. But there was no time for Terry Ferguson and Andy Cassidy to revel in the oily fumes wafting around their heads. the deep rhythmic quaking tickling their bellies. There were seals and gauges to check, rattles and whines to investigate. And then there was that cloud of acrid smoke wafting from somewhere beneath the engine’s back right corner. “Your adrenaline is pumping,”recalls Ferguson, a Coquitlam resident, of the day members of the B.C. chapter of the National Railway Historical Society started the 6300 in a Braid Street warehouse after they had acquired it fromVIA Rail. “But now you’ve got to check if anything is seriously wrong.You don’t want to wipe out the engine due to a bad bearing or a lack of oil.” In fact, other than a seized cooling fan in a rear truck that caused the smoke as electrical wiring shorted out, the engine, built in 1957, was

MARIO BARTEL/BLACK PRESS

Clockwise from top right: Andy Cassidy checks out the new paint job on the old 6300 FP9 diesel engine restored by the BC chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The 1,750 hp engine was in working condition despite not running for six years and being exposed to the elements as the 630 sat idle outdoors at a maintenance yard. The old VIA Rail colours have been stripped off the 6300, replaced by a distinctive generic paint scheme and highlighted by a bright red maple leaf on the nose. in perfect running condition after years of sitting forlorn and forgotten in a rail yard, exposed to the elements. “There was a guardian angel looking over it,”says Rip Peterman, the society’s president, of the group’s first engine acquisition. For years, the 10 or so dedicated train buffs have been lovingly restoring and rehabilitating carriages from the 1940s to the 1960s, the peak of rail travel in Canada.

Amongst the 23 cars parked in the warehouse and on a siding at the New Westminster/ Coquitlam border are coach, observation, lounge, dining and mail cars. But whenever they were booked out for events, special excursions or even movie shoots, the group had to rely on the graces of railway companies to get the carriages to where they needed to go. Getting the 6300 fully operational allows the society to better show off its

collection. It also adds to Canada’s rich rail lore. That’s because the engine comes with a story all its own. On Feb. 8, 1986, the 6300 was at the head of the Skeena,VIA’s regular run from Prince Rupert to Jasper, Alta, where it was latched onto the Super Continental that would then travel on to Toronto. Somewhere east of Hinton, a switching error put a westbound freight train on the same track as the 14-unit passenger

train.The ensuing collision killed 23 passengers and crew members. The 6300, which was unoccupied and situated halfway along the Super Continental, sustained a destroyed nose but remained upright. After repairs and the installation of a new cab, it re-entered service and eventually becameVIA’s last active FP9 diesel until it was retired. When the society’s members learned of the 6300’s availability, they were undeterred by its

tragic past. “Having a story has made it special,”says Ferguson.“It’s a part of history that makes it unique. Every time we take it out it reminds everyone of a tragedy that killed 23 people.” “It’s a bit of a remembrance,”says Peterman. The distinctiveVIA colours and insignia are gone, painstakingly sanded away by volunteers, then spray painted over by hand with a lustrous dark blue chassis

and cream-coloured nose exclaimed with a bright red maple leaf. “We’re proud Canadians, so the maple leaf was a natural,”says Ferguson. Inside, the powerful diesel engine and electrical system just needed some tender loving care, new fluids and seals. “When the engine operates, it puts it in a different class from one that is in a static display,”says Cassidy.“This is alive.” photo@newwestnewsleader.com

Mad about books A GOOD READ Susan Clark

ormally, I don’t associate watching TV with reading. Imagine, then, my surprise when I began to notice books appearing on Mad Men. It quickly occurred to me that books displayed on the popular, critically acclaimed show were used in a subtle way to emphasize the development of character and plot. The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe is a real page-turner.This is the story of five young women working for a NewYork publishing company, a fascinating pre-feminist look at career girls in 1950s NewYork. The novel gave me insight into the personal struggles of these girls at a time when ties for men and white gloves for women were the norm, along with drinking whiskey, smoking cigarettes and womanizing.This book has been called the Sex and The City of the ’50s. One of the bestselling novels of the 1960s was Exodus by Leon Uris. Uris is known for the deep research into historical, cultural and geographical details that went into his novels.This fictional story is a grand, sweeping epic that takes place over several years during the creation of Israel. Published in 1928, Lady Chatterly’s Lover by D.H. Lawrence tells the story of an adulterous love affair.The book was banned in Canada for 30 years and, although it may seem tame by today’s standards, it was considered risqué to most people during the early 1960s.

Atlas Shrugged made Ayn Rand one of the most influential authors of the 20th century.Try reading some online reviews of this book and you’ll soon find out that a lot of people don’t like it. It’s good for spurring thought and opinion, and examining what the balance between individualism, the corporate needs of society and the role of government. This is a perfect book for the 1960s, a time of radical change in how the world was perceived. In The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, John le Carré explores the shadowy years when the cold war came to life.This book has been named one of the best spy novels of all time.The story examines the intelligence services of both the eastern and western nations and explores the question of whether there is really any difference between “us”and“them.” The clothes worn by the characters of Mad Men have fascinated fans of the show. If fashion is your passion, have a look at The Fashion File: Advice, Tips, and Inspiration from the Costume Designer of Mad Men by Janie Bryant. Bryant’s wonderful book of illustrations and fashion advice contains historical information about fashion and insight into the clothes

worn by the characters. Bryant offers advice on how to dress to suit your personality and there is information on accessories and vintage clothing. Each character in Mad Men has a book in hand at one time or another and kids are no exception. Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown appears in the show.This was one of our family’s favourite bedtime stories. It’s just so soothing for the little ones at bedtime.The illustrations are simple and the room darkens slowly as the little bunny says goodnight to his day and drifts off into sleep. This is still such a great way to tuck in a sleepy child. Also in the show, Sally Draper curls up in a chair with Lloyd Alexander’s fantasy novel The Black Cauldron.The book is a Newbery Honor Book and is part of the wonderful Chronicles of Prydain series.Young readers are still captivated by the adventures of Taran the Assistant Pig-Keeper and his quest to become a hero. Both kids and adults can enjoy this exciting and fast paced story. These are just a few of the books that make an appearance on Mad Men. To have a look at more titles, NewYork Public Library has compiled a book list that covers what the characters were reading during each season of the show.Visit your local library for a list of popular writers from previous decades — it’s a great way to connect with some good reads and interesting authors.

A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Susan Clark works at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

A Port Coquitlam school is in the running for funding to upgrade its playground to include wheelchair and universal accessibility. Castle Park elementary school in the Citadel Heights subdivision is looking for funding from the annual Aviva Community Fund. Aviva will be handing out $1 million in grants for 2013 for community projects. A school of approximately 350 students is home to a variety of children with special needs, from autism and learning disabilities to mobility challenges and developmental delays. Castle Park school’s current playground is inaccessible to some of them so its parent advisory council is fundraising to change that.

Notice of Public Hearing Notice is hereby given that the City of Coquitlam will be holding a Public Hearing to receive representations from all persons who deem it in their interest to address Council regarding the following proposed bylaws. This meeting will be held on: Date: Monday, October 22, 2012 Time: 7:00 p.m. Location: City Hall Council Chambers, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC V3B 7N2 Immediately following the adjournment of the Public Hearing, Council will convene a Regular Council Meeting during which it will give consideration to the items on the Public Hearing agenda.

www.coquitlam.ca/publichearing

Item 1

Address: 1313 Cartier Avenue

The intent of City of Coquitlam Heritage Revitalization Agreement Authorization Bylaw No. 4345, 2012 is to authorize the City to enter into a Heritage Revitalization Agreement with the owner of 1313 Cartier Avenue. The application would facilitate the restoration and heritage designation protection of Maison Velay, a historic Maillardville residence, and incorporate the heritage building into a new multi-unit development, consisting of five townhouse units, one of which will contain a secondary suite. Please refer to the attached map titled “1313 Cartier Avenue” for information on the location of the subject property.

Item 2

Text Amendment to the RT-3 Triplex and Quadruplex Zone

The intent of Bylaw No. 4347, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to add the minimum number of required parking spaces (1.5) for Triplex and Quadruplex Residential uses into Part 7 of the Zoning Bylaw. The proposed amendments are deemed necessary to support the City’s RT-3 Triplex and Quadruplex zone and to include the minimum number of required parking spaces for Triplex and Quadruplex Residential uses in Part 7 of the Zoning Bylaw.

Item 3

Text Amendment to the Secondary School Parking Requirements

The intent of Bylaw No. 4342, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to implement changes to the offstreet parking requirements for Secondary Schools. The proposed amendments would reduce the current off-street parking regulations from one (1) space for every four (4) students of school capacity to one (1) space for every seven (7) students of school capacity. If approved, the proposed amendment will accommodate the supply of parking relative to the needed demand by students and staff.

Item 4

Text Amendment for Implementation of the Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TDS)

The intent of Bylaw No. 4236, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to implement changes to the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 High Density Apartment Residential zones and the C-4 City Centre Commercial and C-7 Transit Village Commercial zones. The proposed amendments are deemed necessary to support the City’s Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TDS) and Evergreen Line ridership, and include the following: • A revised definition for “Lot Area” for the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones that would include only the area within the property lines of a lot,

consistent with the definition for other zones in the Zoning Bylaw and in keeping with the general practice in other municipalities • An increase in the permitted base density (gross floor area) for the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones to 2.5 times the lot area, the same base density permitted in the C-4 and C-7 zones • A revised density bonus structure system for the RM-4, RM-5, RM-6 and C-7 zones so that the financial contribution at each step would be the same as the C-4 City Centre Commercial zone and would be made towards amenities as identified in the Citywide Official Community Plan • A new provision is proposed to the density bonus provisions for all high-density zones, including the C-4, that would allow the City the option to have the amenity provided (i.e. built) as part of the development • Maximum lot coverage would be increased to 55% for the RM-4 zone and 90% for the RM-5, RM-6 and C-7 zones to encourage an urban development form, while leaving sufficient area for outdoor amenity space • Building setback requirements would be simplified and reduced for the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones to bring buildings closer to the street and improve site efficiencies, in keeping with high-density mixed use zones • Similar to the C-4 and C-7 zones, the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones would require all off-street parking to be concealed and separated from the building face by another use, if located above-grade • Similar to the C-4 and C-7 lots, the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones would allow for density to be transferred or shared among contiguous (adjoining) parcels of land, providing for greater flexibility in the design and assembly of multi-building and phased development sites • The C-7 zone would require a minimum employment-generating use of 0.25 gross floor area times the lot area for developments along North Road, Clarke Road and the future East-West Connector streets between Emerson Street and Clark Road, and Lougheed Highway and North Road, as identified in the Official Community Plan.

Item 5

Address: 3349 David Avenue

The intent of Bylaw No. 4337, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject property outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw No. 4337, 2012 from RS-2 One-Family Suburban Residential to RS-8 Large Village Single Family Residential. If approved, the application would facilitate the subdivision of the subject property into nine (9) Large Village Single Family lots.

What’s that you’re selling? By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NeWs

janis warren/the tri-city news

Gladys White (left) and Wendy Squires get comfy with some of their quilts. The pair will exhibit a few pieces with other Blue Mountain Quilters’ Guild members this weekend as part of the group’s 10th anniversary show in Coquitlam.

A decade of quilting for guild By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NeWs

endy Squires unfolds a quilt she recently stitched up for her mother. The Port Coquitlam resident spent weeks on the internet searching for the right material to include in her bed cover. She found a cloth with cards on it, representing one of her mom’s favourite pastimes. There’s also a block covered with red poppies, paying tribute to her wartime years. And then there’s the fabric she discovered from New York that has a crossword puzzle with the word Marmalade, a spread her mother adores. “I was so lucky to find it and having that word was an extra bonus,” Squires said, her finger running down the letters. The machine-sewn quilt may offer hints of her mom’s life but it’s also a symbol of love. Most quilters, Squires said, tend to sew for family and friends to honour the bond they share. Many times, they quilt for special occasions like births, graduations or marriages to celebrate a

This month, the Blue Mountain Quilters’ Guild donated a quilt to the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society.

The gesture of visible warmth and friendship can — depending on the quilt — serve a variety of purposes. For example, a newborn or senior can use a quilt as a practical wrap. A newly hitched couple can hang a quilt over their bed as a reminder of the support they have for their union. Or a school nurse can cover a sick student as a way to comfort. “I think people see

quilts as quality, which can be hard to come by these days,” Squires said. “It’s something they will probably have for the rest of their lives. “It’s also special because it’s made just for them.” This weekend, Squires will be exhibiting a few of her pieces — along with 120 members of the Tri-City-based Blue Mountain Quilters’ Guild — to mark the group’s 10th anniversary. Show committee

chairperson Gladys White said the display is aimed at giving viewers an idea of how much time and energy goes into making a quilt and to see how the craft is evolving. These days, modern textile art quilts using multimedia like paint, ribbons and beads are common and images of people’s faces lasered onto material are also trending, said Squires and White, both of whom took up the creative art

at local night classes years ago. O n ave r a g e , t h e women sew two or three larger quilts a year plus half-a-dozen covers for babies. “It can be a fairly expensive hobby,” said White, noting new colours and patterns come out annually as do hightech machines and software programs. The pair enjoy sharing their passion with the guild, a non-profit social organization mostly made up of Tri-City women who meet on the first Friday of the month at the Wilson Centre to hear from guest speakers, take part in demonstrations and show their progress. The group also hosts workshops and retreats, and holds draws and auctions to raise money for library books (this year, it donated $850 to the Port Moody Public Library for quilting reads). Squires said the guild is also proud of its outreach involvement. It donates about 100 quilts a year for preemies at the Royal Columbian Hospital as well as lap covers for seniors’ care homes. Soon, it plans to sew

quilts for the 10 rooms at the Crossroads hospice in Port Moody. In addition, community quilts are also contributed to charities to raffle off. Past recipients include the BC Professional Firefighers’ burn unit at Vancouver General Hospital, Mackin House and Port Moody Station Museum. This year’s community quilt went to the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society. And, at this weekend’s exhibit, the guild will raffle off a king-sized quilt with proceeds going to Crossroads and PoCoMo Youth Services. “We are working for the community all the time,” Squires said, “and that gives us a lot of pleasure.” • The Blue Mountain Quilters’ Guild Decade of Quilts show runs Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Montgomery middle school (1900 Edgewood Av e . , C o q u i t l a m ) . Admission is $5. The event is wheelchair accessible. For more information, call 604-461-4267 or 604-941-5945 or visit www.bluemountainquiltersguild.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Veda Hille and Bill Richardson tried hard not to mock. The writers of Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata were overwhelmed with wacky ads from the online personal ads site. But they decided early on that making fun of the sellers was definitely not going to be part of their script. “The amazing thing about Craigslist is that people write so much and tell you so much about their lives,” said Hille, an indie singer-songwriter who also performs in the show. “They are more than just the 300 stuffed penguins or the free toupee they’re offering. “You can really get a sense of who they are. It’s a rich soup of humanity,” Hille said. The pair embarked on penning a cantata — or song cycle — about Craigslist after performing a 20-minute musical at the PuSh festival. Richardson, who hosts the classical music programming on CBC Radio 2, was the first to broach the concept with his good friend Hille. Fo r m o n t h s , Richardson trolled Craigslist pages around the world, searching for the perfect vignettes to tie together a 90-minute cantata for Hille to set to contemporary folk music. The Best of Craigslist page was visited regularly. Sometimes, “Bill would send me a verse. He would take an ad and extrapolate the story but, other times, he would send me the whole ad and say, see CRAIgS, page 29

Rotary Of Port Moody In 2004 a visit from a Group Study Exchange team led by a Rotarian from South Africa to the Rotary Club of Port Moody was the start of a journey for the Port Moody Club, a journey that has taken many of the club’s members and friends to South Africa three times since that first visit. Port Moody Rotarians, who have always had a strong commitment to local community initiatives, learnt of the hardships of the thousands of disadvantaged people and of the efforts of Rotarians in their communities to improve the living and learning conditions of the South African people. Port Moody decided to apply for a Matching

Grant from Rotary International and supplied school uniforms, educational toys and sports equipment to St. Mary’s Daycare Centre in Grahamstown. Our meager 1,000.00 donation once matched by the Rotary local District and Rotary International became $,5000.00 which was enough to supply enough supplies for 99 children in that community. In 2005 a group of 25 Rotarians went to South Africa and met with Rotarians in East London and Grahamstown to see for themselves how the money was spent and the effect such a small amount could have on 99

students and their families. Whilst in South Africa they visited many schools, daycare centres, crèches, hospitals and local townships to see firsthand the extent of the need. That first trip was life changing for everyone on the tour. Since 2005 the club’s members have returned twice more and have undertaken more Matching Grant projects to fund such things as a Palliative Care centre in a Grahamstown hospital, St. John’s Eye Care centre, Living Waters Women’s Centre for abused women and children and Academy for Learning in East London to name but a few of the many projects that have been funded over the years. In 2011 Port Moody embarked on a grant to fund a 5 year literacy project in the Grahamstown school system followed by another grant that funded two container shipments of donated goods to East London and Grahamstown. A further grant to fund a container to Cape Town was obtained at the end of 2011 this was a joint venture with the Coquitlam and Chilliwack clubs. All three containers were shipped and have arrived in destination and goods unloaded and distributed by Rotarians in South Africa. The containers carry everything from schools supplies, sports equipment, hospital beds, hospital linens, medical supplies and equipment, computer

systems, books and children’s toys and bikes. We have even shipped pianos that have been donated to us, these assist the schools in providing music programmes to the children of the townships. Over the years Port Moody has shipped many containers to East London and Grahamstown with the assistance of Rotary World Help Network, an organization that collects, sorts and ships donated items to countries around the world from their Coquitlam warehouse. A similar warehouse is located in East London S.A. where the goods are received, sorted and distributed to Rotary clubs in the District who in turn deliver these goods to the local communities. While Port Moody Rotary Club’s focus will always be the local community the club has found a way to extend a helping hand of friendship to people in need around the world utilizing goods that have been discarded but still have a value and useful purpose. Every penny donated to Rotary goes to improve the lives of people both at home and abroad, not one penny goes to administration costs. All donated goods are sorted and carefully packed and shipped and are gratefully received somewhere in the world.

Trash turned into sculpture By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Ron Simmer won’t have the usual reception when his first solo art show opens tomorrow ( Th u r s d ay ) at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts. Instead of a typical meet-and-greet, Simmer will show video footage of a sculpture he built — and burnt down — while at the Burning Man festival this summer in the Nevada desert. Called Breaking Wave, the project started in the spring with three other artists to create a twotonne effigy out of drift lumber. Its aim was to draw attention to the ocean’s pollution as well as to pay tribute to the devastating tsunami in Japan last year. The environment’s fragility is often the focal point for Simmer, who produces art out of found or recycled materials. Fo r h i s l a t e s t Coquitlam display, titled An Exultation of MOOP (Matter Out Of Place), the former commercial fisherman has assembled 19 objects out of trash as an homage to the Burning Man community, of which he’s been a member for nine years. His junk metal is picked up at scrapyards and back alleys. Discarded fire extinguishers are passed on by Royal City Fire Supplies while old skis, snowboards and tanks are donated by the public. His materials are usually powder coated at a Coquitlam business before being turned into abstract animals and flowers, for example.

J. Cameron Barnett and Bree Greig from the original production of Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata. The Arts Club Theatre show runs at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre from Oct. 23 to 27.

Craigslist speaks of society continued from page 26

‘What should we do with this?’ Quite often, I could set it verbatim.” Hille said much of the text was North American based as Craigslist is not used as much in Europe. Also, certain segments of the Canadian population (i.e., in the Prairies) tend to use Kijiji more than Craigslist. Still, Hille said, “we’ve played the show to audiences that don’t know Craigslist as well and they can relate to it because of the connection to personal ads. “Also, it’s really funny.” In January, when the production premiered in Vancouver, it had 24 sold-out performances on the Arts Club’s Revue Stage and was held over for a week. Now, the show is touring B.C. and the Yukon this and next month, including a stop in Coquitlam next week. Though there is no linear plot line, A Craigslist Cantata is — at its best — a story about desire. “We all have longings, whether it’s to be with people or to get rid of our stuff or just connect,” Hille said. “It really shows how much want there is in the world. People are lonely and materialistic. And I think it will be especially difficult for the next generation who will ask, ‘Why do want all of this stuff? Who tricked us into wanting it? And where are we going to put it all?’ “It speaks to our society,”she said. • Directed by Amiel Gladstone, Craigslist Cantata stars Hille, J. Cameron Barnett, Bree

Cents struggle with injuries Meanwhile, AAA ravens can’t nab win against st. Thomas More By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

For a high school football coach, there is nothing more worrying than seeing a player get carried off the field on a stretcher. But that was the case for the Centennial Centaurs’ Ryk Piche on Friday, when offensive player Nathan Lund was knocked down in the third quarter of a game against Lord Tweedsmuir and complained of tingling in his neck. As a precautionary measure, an ambulance was called and Lund was carefully taken off the field by paramedics. “It is very nerve-racking,” Piche said. “I would rather err on the side of caution. This is a kid’s future.” Fortunately for Lund, there was no serious damage and the Grade 12 back has been able to join his team in practice this week. Piche said he expects Lund will be able to play when the Centaurs take on St. Thomas More this Friday in Burnaby. It is expected to be the first game since week one where the Centennial coach will have his full complement of players after the team was riddled with injuries and the flu over the last few games. Missing six starters last Friday, Piche said the team was in “survival mode” against Lord Tweedsmuir, a game the Centaurs lost 21-8. St. Thomas More could also prove challenging for the Coquitlam squad. The fast, physical team has a lot of weapons, Piche said, and the Centaurs will have to play a perfect game if they hope to walk away with a victory. “I think we can match up against them if we are healthy,” he said. “If we are not prepared they can turn it into a track meet very fast.” Friday’s game will take place at Burnaby Lake field at 7:30 p.m. The Terry Fox Ravens got a taste of St. Thomas More’s scoring prowess last weekend. see RAvenS, page 31

‘Are you kidding me?’ Tri-City broadcaster makes YouTube mark ‘This kid could run for mayor’ By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Langley Rivermen playby-play broadcaster Brandon Astle will have a new clip to add to his demo reel. The Port Coquitlam native had the highlight call of his young career Sunday, when Rivermen forward Austin Azurdia put the puck between an opposing player’s legs before grabbing it on the other side and roofing it top shelf with 0.3 seconds left in the game. If the goal was not dramatic enough, Astle’s playby-play has made the clip a YouTube sensation, with the 24-year-old broadcaster proclaiming “this kid should run for mayor.” “That was the first time

TRI-CITy nEwS PhOTO

A Port Coquitlam broadcaster is receiving national attention for a playby-play call during a Langley Rivermen BCHL game last weekend. I ever said that,” he told The Tri-City News on Friday. “Sometimes I say ‘boom baby’ when they win in overtime — it’s kind of my catch phrase. ‘This kid should run for mayor’ might be my new one.” The clip was posted to YouTube on Sunday and by Monday it had a respectable 800 page views. By Friday

morning, the number of times the clip had been viewed was closing in on 80,000 and with national media like TSN, Global and Sportsnet taking notice, it is likely that number will rise. “The exposure I have been getting has been really neat,” he said. “It is a great feeling. I’ve definitely been getting a

lot more Twitter followers.” The play began with a pass from Rivermen defenceman Bo Pellah from Langley’s goal line that Azurdia picked up at centre ice with eights seconds left in the game. Astle begins a five second countdown as Azurdia slips the puck past a Spruce Kings defeceman before re-taking possession and putting it in the back of the net. “Off the top of my head, I decided to do the countdown,” he added. “After he scored the goal I kind of blacked out a little.” But while the call has received much of the attention, Astle is quick to point out that it would not have happened without the amazing play of Azurdia. “It really was all Austin,” he said.“The call just added to the great goal that Austin scored. He has a great career ahead of him.”

Goalie Daniel Urbani received first-star honours on Friday, while Express forward Brady Shaw’s two goals and an assist earned him the award on Saturday.

The Coquitlam Adanacs took on the Langley Thunder at Coquitlam Town Centre park during a field lacrosse game on Sunday.

Ravens’ offence struggles The Ravens were also suffering from the injury bug, playing without the services of starting quarterback Trevor Casey, who is nursing a collarbone injury, and backup Jake Bye, who was suffering from an undisclosed lower-body injury. QB duties fell to Brad Lyons and Kyle Miller, players who have not had much practice in the position, according to assistant coach Jorge Knizek. Lyons did manage to put up the team’s only points, scoring a 24-yard scramble in the second quarter when the team

was already down 22-0. Lyo n s e n d e d t h e game with 20 rushes for 114 yards, while Mate McLeod-Genest had seven rushes for 24 yards. Nick Agnoletto, Brad Peters and Kyle Miller all had rushes than ended in negative yards. Miller had zero completions on three attempts while Lyons had zero completions in one attempt. While the offence languished, Knizek said there were some bright spots on the other side of the ball, despite the fact the Ravens surrendered 36 points. Kyle Deugau had nine tackles, while Lyons had

eight tackles and a sack. Mike West had six tackles while Mike Beck had two tackles and a sack. With the loss the seniors fall to 3-3 on the season and according to Knizek, the “road doesn’t get any easier with the remaining team.” The Ravens still have to play league powerhouses the Centennial Centaurs and Vancouver College. Next week Terry Fox will play W.J. Mouat, (6-1) on Friday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. at Town Centre Stadium. For more information go to www. bchighschoolsports.ca. sports@tricitynews.com
