Share needs food for families Xmas hampers are only halfway to being filled
By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Share Family and Community Services desperately needs thousands of packages of food — especially highprotein items — so the food bank can fill holiday hampers in time for Christmas. This season, food banks in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody expect to distribute 1,800 hampers and Share is well short of the 52,240 items it needs to fill them. A visit to the Port Moody food bank this week revealed dozens of empty crates that should be filled if volunteers are expected to stock hampers and add a little extra for the holiday season. see SHARE NEEDS, page 3

Councillors promised they would stay Election question brought up last fall By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Share needs double the items it has in stock now continued from front page
DIANE STRANDBERG/ThE TRI-cITy NEwS
Share Family and Community Services toy shop coordinator Karen Faminoff and fund development manager Katherine Lawrence with some of the toys destined for tweens and teens. Share is in desperate need of toys for girls in the 10 to 12 age bracket and for teenagers.
Gifts needed for Share Toy Shoppe By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Karen Faminoff is about to launch into her busiest season as the Toy Shoppe coordinator for Share Family and Community Services. But, like anyone who is about to play Santa, she’s looking forward to it. “I enjoy the families, I enjoy how excited they get,” said Faminoff, talk-
ing about the annual toy shop events in which parents who register can choose a toy for their children. Share needs hundreds of toys, gifts, books and games to give out, and will be looking for the continued generosity of Tri-City businesses and individuals. For each child, parents can pick out a special item, usually worth
about $35 to $40, plus a book, a stuffed animal and a game for the whole family to enjoy. This year, gifts for teens are especially needed. To see Share’s toy wish list, visit www. sharesociety.ca To volunteer to help out with the toy shop, contact Heather Stacey at heather.stacey@sharesociety.ca
want to help food bank? here’s how: These are the items most needed by Share to fill food bank hampers this year: • high-protein items such as peanut butter, canned meals (stews, ravioli, beans and sauce), canned fish or ham • tomato sauce, pasta sauce, pasta • canned fruit and vegetables, juices • cereal, baby food, packaged pastas, rice Donations are being accepted at most grocery stores as well as at the food bank in Port Moody at 2615 Clarke St. (in the rear). Visit www.sharesociety.ca to find out more. Donations of money are particularly important at this time of year as they can be used to beef up holiday hampers with grocery gift certificates.
dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
At last count, Share had fewer than 20,000 items and needed more than twice that many by Dec. 9 — just nine days from now. “It’s quite a tight schedule,” said Katherine Lawrence, fund development manager for Share, but the deadline is necessary to enable volunteers to pack hampers in time for the Dec. 12 and Dec. 19 distribution dates. And while Share can count on the generosity of Tri-City residents, businesses and schools to give and eventually meet that goal, the earlier the food is delivered, the more items can be included in the holiday hampers. “These are bigger hampers,” Lawrence explained, “At this time, we have two and a half weeks’ worth of food, and that’s it. We need it to be replenished.” Also at this time of year, Share likes to add a grocery gift cards of varying amounts depending on the size of the family, as well as fresh produce, such as potatoes, apples and carrots, and needs cash donations to make that happen. “If people are doing [food bank] drives, if they would like to make a donation — a monetary donation or a food donation — we’d like to get in by the ninth, that helps us out,” she said.
Donations that come in after are still important, though, as “it will always go into the hands of people that need it,” Lawrence said. What has become painfully obvious over the last several years is that without the extra support of groups such as the Rotary Clubs, and ongoing generosity of grocery stores, businesses and individuals, Share would not be able to continue to meet the growing need of struggling families. According the Share, Tri-City food bank use climbed 56% between 2006 and 2010 to more than 8,000 recipients, and among those who benefit, 50% are children. Mike Trelenberg, assistant manager of the food bank, said many of the people he sees arriving at the food bank have jobs but their income doesn’t stretch the entire month and a hamper of food will relieve them of the difficult choice of whether to pay a utility bill or buy food. Among the items most desperately needed are canned meals, such as ravioli and beans in sauce, canned fish or meat and peanut butter, which packs a power punch and is enjoyed by most children, Trelenberg said, adding:”These are the items people can use to make a meal and really stretch a dollar.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Bully bylaw could target adults, too: mayor PoCo bylaw is modelled on one in regina, sask. By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’ s planned anti-bullying bylaw, expected to be voted on Dec. 10, will initially be targeted to youth but could make adult bullies pay fines, too. Mayor Greg Moore confirmed the city will vote on a bylaw modelled after one used to lodge fines against bullies in Regina but there won’t be an age cap, in the hopes it could be used to combat bullying in public places, online and possibly even workplaces. “If they [RCMP] had multiple bylaw offences,
TRI-cITy NEwS fIlE phoTo
A group of Heritage Woods secondary school students who attended the launch of the Be Someone campaign on Tuesday at Riverside secondary in Port Coquitlam. that would build into a criminal code offence,” Moore said, noting the initial aim of the bylaw would be to discourage face-to-face and online bullying among youth and to get bullies to take
an approved anti-bullying course rather than fining them. Moore said the idea originally came from the RCMP and said he has been in discussions with the police.
But an RCMP spokesman could say little about how the bylaw would work. Cpl. Jamie Chung said the RCMP haven’t yet seen the bylaw and no decisions have been made about
resources. He said the police support the bylaw because the intent is to prevent bullying. “We can tell you that we support the community-based personal safety initiative such as the anti-bullying movement,” said Chung, adding that the Mounties will continue to work closely with the city on the matter. Moore said he would like to see RCMP youth liaison officers work with young people to combat bullying because they have the most experience, and would use the bylaw with discretion, encouraging youth to take an anti-bullying course instead of fining them. Fines would start at $200 and would escalate with each offence, and Moore said he learned in discussions with the
cities of Regina and Edmonton that, typically, a handful of fines is given out while the goal is to raise awareness of the issue and promote a “no-tolerance” approach to bullying The anti-bullying bylaw was announced Tuesday along with a slew of initiatives as part of the Be Someone campaign launched by businessman Gary Mauris and the mayor. In the Regina bylaw, fines of up to $2,000 can be laid for bullying offences in a public place; written or online and bullying is characterized as objectionable or inappropriate conduct or display by a person directed at an individual, not of the same household, intended to intimidate, humiliate, ridicule or isolate, and which causes or is likely to cause physical
or emotional distress. Moore said the Be Someone team is also working on a texting platform that would enable youth who are bullies or victims to connect with counsellors via texts with the Kid’s Help Phone. It will differ from the provincial ERASE anti-bullying tip line in that it would be available to youth outside the public school system and would give kids a chance to connect with people who can chat via text with them and potentially direct them to resources.

PoMo staff to examine Rocky Pt. pay parking Council spars over need for citywide parking plan By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
A visit to Rocky Point Park may soon come with a cost beyond the price of gas: pay parking. At Tuesday’s meeting, Port Moody council grappled with a staff report on a proposal to add pay parking, an issue that has been on the backburner for several years but has resurfaced due to the coming Evergreen Line. Reports and discussions on pay parking have been simmering for nearly 10 years, and included a Moody Centre parking study commissioned in 2004. That study was never presented to council for implementation because of the province’s announcement of the Evergreen Line.
On Tuesday, Coun. Diana Dilworth suggested a motion slightly different from that which staff proposed, calling for staff to build a city-wide pay parking strategy for key areas, with a phased-in approach and starting with Rocky Point in the summer of 2013. “We need to put forward a clear political will on pay parking in Port Moody,” Dilworth said. But Coun. Rick Glumac disagreed, saying it is premature to establish a parking plan for the whole city without knowing what the post-Evergreen Line problems will be. “I’m not sure that we need to go that far down the pay parking road right now,” he said in an interview Wednesday. “I’m not sure we need a draft strategy for pay parking throughout the community. I don’t think there’s support for that.” H e a l s o d r ew o n Coquitlam’s plans to raise

new revenue by working with developers seeking parking reductions in developments near transit. The money from reduced parking requirements could then go to build centralized parking structures near the West Coast Express or Moody
Centre Evergreen stations, Glumac said. Councillors Rosemary Small and Zoe Royer said they are concerned pay parking might hurt local businesses, with Royer suggesting Moody residents get two hours of free parking at Rocky Point.
“If we’re going to wait until we have SkyTrain to determine what type of parking problem we might have, we’ll be pushing parking problems into Moody Centre like we do now,” Dilworth argued. “Why not get started working on a plan now,
with a phased approach?” Her motion was defeated, however, with a subsequent motion by Mayor Mike Clay to have staff report back on options to introduce pay parking in Rocky Point, with options for revenue allocation and free parking for residents,

BC ASSESSMENT PHOTO
A special van will be making its way through Coquitlam next month as part of BC Assessment’s Photo Update Initiative.
Place des Arts
we inspire the artist in everyone! The gift that lasts a lifetime . . .
That strange van... with the MUSIC FOR KIDS! cameras? Just BC Assessment Classes & lessons for all ages, from tots to teens!
Pictures of the front of all Coquitlam homes will be snapped from a van for BC Assessment next month. Starting Wednesday, a clearly marked van with digital cameras inside will roam Coquitlam’s residential streets in an effort to update the Crown corporation’s photo stock, which is used for property assessment purposes. The van will likely be travelling around Port Coquitlam and Port Moody neighbourhoods next fall. Zina Weston, deputy assessor for BC Assessment’s North Fraser region, which includes the Tri-Cities, said the agency doesn’t use
the Google Street View as those photos aren’t as clear and they reveal too much private information, such as cars’ licence plate numbers and faces of pedestrians. As well, Weston said BC Assessment’s images are designed to coordinate with its corpo-
rate maps and property drawings. The cost for the three-week long drive in Coquitlam is $2.60 per folio, or more than $66,000 for the 25,400 properties. Started four years ago, the BC Assessment photo campaign has
already gone through Nanaimo, the North Shore, Surrey, White Rock, Squamish, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford. The program is now wrapping up in Burnaby and is due to start next week in New Westminster. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Metro Van may slash fees it pays politicians Reg. district mulls rule changes on compensation By Jeff Nagel Black PRess
Metro Vancouver directors may soon be paid less to attend special events such as conferences, conventions and seminars. The mayors and councillors who serve on the regional district board now get at least $346 to compensate them for their time at authorized external meetings and for travel time. The fee doubles to $692 if an event runs longer than four hours. A Metro staff report recommends chopping the payment to a flat rate of $100 per day for time spent. But directors at the finance committee were split recently on whether to go ahead with the change and have asked staff for more information. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said it might be a hardship for some directors who have professional jobs where they’re paid considerably more

the fees directors get to attend regular Metro board and committee meetings. Those meeting fees — also $346, doubling after four hours — have steadily risen due to a Metro policy of indexing them to the median of Metro mayors’ salaries. When one
or more cities raise their mayors’ pay, the regional fees have gone up as a result, and that has sometimes been used to justify more cities raising their mayoral salaries. The staff report doesn’t suggest changing the formula but notes cities have
been reporting mayoral salaries inconsistently, some failing to include car allowances, for example. Metro directors received nearly $714,000 through meeting fees last year, plus $44,000 in travel expenses. jnagel@blackpress.ca

PoMo approves inter-municipal business bylaw
The vacant land next to Port Moody’s public safety building may be the city’s next community garden. Peter Ditchfield, manager of police services with the Port Moody Police Department, spoke at Tuesday’s council meeting to request support for the initiative, which is being undertaken in partnership with the Coquitlam Farmers Market. Ditchfield said the community garden fits
community garden will allow people to grow food, meet their neighbours and “add vibrance” to the city, all in a particularly safe environment. The site design offers about 50 garden plots, which would be offered to PoMo residents as a
priority. McLoughlin said both the Colony Farm and Inlet Centre community gardens have long waiting lists and shows a need for additional garden space. She added that this plan replaces an earlier suggestion to build

The bully bylaw
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
■ WHAT WE THINK:
O
n Dec. 10, Port Coquitlam city council will consider a bylaw that would make it illegal for people in a public place or online to make objectionable, intimidating or humiliating comments causing physical or emotional distress. If approved, the bylaw would give RCMP youth liaison officers the power to levy fines against individuals, mostly youth, unless they take an approved anti-bullying course. At first glance, it appears this bylaw would give police much discretion and could be considered an unreasonable expansion of power except that both the level of proof required and the correction are much less than that of a criminal code violation. According to Mayor Greg Moore, the goal is to discourage bullying and educate people about its effects rather than fining people. It’s early days yet as to whether the bylaw will accomplish the intended goals, that of reducing bullying, but at the very least it shows that the city where Amanda Todd grew up is taking bullying very seriously.

T
he latest report from Children andYouth Representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond is aptly titled “Trauma, Turmoil and Tragedy.” It’s a sad review of the lives of 89 children who harmed themselves or committed suicide, and the supports they received from the Ministry of Children and Family Development. It’s important to learn from these cases. But wouldn’t it make more sense to invest in keeping children from ending up in such desperate situations. In providing community supports to help parents cope with their problems, so they could in turn raise their children successfully? And in addressing problems before they spiral out of control? That’s what we do in the community social services sector. Turpel-Lafond’s report looks at the back-
grounds of the 89 children. She found — not surprisingly — that family dysfunction and poverty were at the root of their troubled lives. Half of the 89 children were exposed to domestic violence at an early age.“Domestic violence can leave a child with emotional pain, deep stress and sometimes physical trauma,” Turpel-Lafond notes. The resulting lack of trust means children don’t talk about their own problems or learn the skills to solve them. About 75% of the children were born to mothers with substance abuse problems. The information on fathers is scarcer because so many simply weren’t around. And 27% of the parents had themselves been children in the ministry’s care, suggesting a failure to provide the support they needed to grow into healthy adults ready to raise their own children. The ministry’s work is important and difficult, and the representative’s oversight is vital. But this report — like so many others — should force us to look at how we can help children and their families before problems are so serious that children must be taken into

T
his year’s political smash hit may well be Trudeaumania II, starring Justin Trudeau as the virile new Liberal leader. It’s coming soon to a constituency near you and I can’t wait for its debut. Apparently, most Canadians are equally as enthusiastic to see Justin Trudeau’s mini-me role in this political blockbuster. According to a recent HarrisDecima poll, 42% of Canadians polled would vote for a Justin Trudeau-led federal Liberal party were the election held today. Holy landslide, Batman — that’s enough for a majority government. Sure, it’s just a poll. Still, a full four months before his coronation as leader, Mr. Trudeau has this level of support well before the hair, the smile, the youthfulness, have even had a chance to work their full magic? Just wait until they have him toss out a few well-placed one-finger salutes and“fuddle duddles.”Add a dash of anti-Conservative rhetoric and Justin Trudeau’s reborn Liberals stand a good chance of sweeping the Conservatives out of office in 2015. But beyond his charm, Mr. Trudeau is, like Obama, surrounding himself with a cadre of bright, glib 30-something techno types. Eager
to bury the Dionne/Ignatieff disasters, neo-Libs will be sure the Justin Trudeau package will have a digitally wrapped substance to go with his glamour. But while resurrected Trudeaumania may be enough to win an election, Mr. Trudeau’s attractiveness will more likely serve to focus our attention long enough to hear a message most Canadians embrace: fiscal conservatism, well-funded social programs and an international focus in foreign policy. And that’s substance enough for more than 60% of non-Conservative Canadians who will happily accept Trudeaumania II to free us from the stodgy, arrogant government under which we currently suffer. The substance my colleague craves — presumably represented by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives — is so odious it brings to mind Tommy Douglas, who once said,“This government not only appears stable, it’s beginning to smell like one.” So although I’m no Liberal, bring on Justin Trudeau’s winning smile, wavy hair, boyish good looks and flawless bilingualism. If that’s all it takes, I’ll be squealing and fainting at the debut of Trudeaumania II.

‘Churlish’ to slam Reimer, Robinson The Editor, Re. “Ambition beats commitment” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, Nov. 27). The Tri-City News, in the above-referenced editorial, harshly criticizes Coquitlam councillors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson for their stated intentions to run in the forthcoming provincial general election — alleging opportunism and abandonment of the citizens who elected them to their current offices. The law does not require mayors or councillors to step down in order to be MLAs; there’s nothing cast in stone that councillors cannot finish out their terms or even stand again while MLAs. Having said that, depending upon what their new roles, if elected, finally entail, there might be inordinate sched-
uling or o t h e r conflicts that prevail upon them to step down as counc i l l o r s , REIMER again — exactly as for any other job. I can find no fault with this. We should, rather, all thank councillors Reimer and Robinson, and indeed those many others, for their service, and their commitment and dedication already demonstrated, and not revile or rebuke them for their willingness to leverage their experience and take on more. The underlying thesis here, however, is that no one should stand for an elected office while they hold another one. It’s an impractical, excessive,
standard, particularly given how municipal, provincial and federal cycles ROBINSON overlap. It is not at all reasonable, nor is it in the public interest, to ask someone who has something to offer to sit it out from one role on the off chance that something else might turn up, or that they might secure a nomination for some different role somewhere down the road. We already have too few people willing to step in, subject themselves to churlish and unfair criticism of this kind, and pour their souls into their jobs for us. Ron McKinnon, Port Coquitlam

Historical Highlights
Chisholm Industries Ltd. was a family-owned and operated business that manufactured radios, Hi-Fi sets, black & white TVs and assorted electronic equipment. In November 1950, Edward Chisholm purchased 23 acres of land in Port Moody and built a 56,000 square foot complex. Their wooden cabinets were widely marketed as having a famous ‘Moisture Barrier System’, which reduced the chance of cabinets warping in the ‘west coast damp climate’.

Spirit, not words, matter The Editor, Re. “Merry Christmas” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Nov. 28). Since the dawn of AllSaints Day (the day after Halloween for the rest of us), Christmas has emanated from my radio and TV. The green and red decorations appeared almost immediately. Wednesday’s edition of The Tri-City News featured a 12-page feature entitled “Christmas in Port Coquitlam” and there were several other Christmasrelated items. Public life is all about Christmas from Nov. 1 until the end of the actual festival on Jan. 6 (the 12th day of Christmas, for those who don’t know). Therefore, I am bewildered when people ar-
ticulate the paranoid fantasy that there is some conspiracy to steal away Christmas. If the letter writer Linda Baker, unlike many of my friends, does not wish others “Happy Holidays” at Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Diwali, or any other nonChristian holiday, that is her choice. As yet, I have not met anyone from any other ethnic or cultural tradition who has expressed offence at the phrase “Merry Christmas.” But I frequently hear from Christians (and those who claim their beliefs transcend any one religion) who are apparently offended by the phrase “Happy Holidays” or “Compliments of the Season” or any other
well-meant wish for their health and prosperity at festive times. How sad for them. Although I am not a Christian, I too celebrate the holiday — for all that it means (whatever Ms. Baker might think is the reason for the season). I offer compliments of the season to her and to all, whether it’s Christmas, Noel, Hanukkah or “Happy Holidays.” And I am grateful for the well-wishes of those who offer them to me. Just as we can all believe what we want and celebrate what we want, we can express it in whatever terms we want. It’s the spirit that matters, not the words. Kevin Wallace, Coquitlam

Density—How much is too much? By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody’s vision for a post-Evergreen Line community includes new mixed-use neighbourhoods, walkable neighbourhoods and even high-density towers in Moody Centre. The draft of the official community plan update, which has been in the works since shovels went in the ground for Evergreen, was presented to council’s committee of the whole on Tuesday. It pulls together information from a public survey, public input session and a design charette and offers the following changes: • Western end of Moody Centre, next to Barnet Highway: Pictured as PoMo’s western gateway, the proposed changes will bring in more commercial space to serve local residents. Increased density comes with buildings ranging from six to 12 storeys, with multi-family residential development encouraged. • Queens Street to Moody Street: This area will serve as a transition between residential areas to the west and higher density mixed uses to the east. Substantial residential and commercial density is permitted in buildings up to six storeys. • Mill and Timber sawmill site: Should it one day be up for redevelopment the so-called Waterfront Village allows for residential, commercial, marina, light industrial, institutional and public open space uses in buildings of up to 12 storeys. The area has been designated a Special Study Area, requiring a local area development plan be offered with any redevelopment proposal. There is an emphasis on public access to the waterfront, view preservation and siting that minimizes conflict with neighbouring industrial uses. • Central Moody Centre: The area surrounding the Moody Centre Evergreen Station will offer a high concentration of commercial and residential uses guided by transitoriented development principles. The pedestrian-friendly area will offer a mix of low, mid and high rise forms with a number of shops and services. Building heights proposed are up to 20 storeys. • Inlet Centre/Ioco Station Area: Similar to the Moody Centre Station area, the Inlet Centre stop will also become a walkable neighbourhood, with proposed building heights up to 30 storeys. The Heritage Mountain Shoppers Mall, located about 800
An artist’s conception of an Evergreen Line station in Port Moody. The city is now envisioning future density in its OCP.
Rental housing ‘at risk’ Sandy Burpee, chair of the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group, appeared as a delegation at Tuesday’s meeting to encourage council to incorporate affordable housing strategies into the official community plan update. He warned that Evergreen Line redevelopment will likely put rental housing at risk, something that he’s already seeing in Burquitlam. “We have an opportunity to create affordable housing stock, both rental and ownership, particularly close to transit stations that support households dependent on transit,”Burpee said. He wants the city partner with developers to facilitate affordable housing for low to moderate-income households, and develop a rental replacement policy that will mitigate losses.
metres from the station, will also offer mixed uses but with a maximum height of six storeys. Coun. Rick Glumac said the draft OCP offers a “clear vision of what the community would like to see 10 to 15 years down the road,” but added there may be some disagreement on
some of the higher densities being proposed for Moody Centre. “I know from a lot of the comments from the public there are concerns it’s going too high and it’s going too Metrotown... and we have to preserve our community feel,” Glumac said. “It’s definitely ac-
knowledging that the Evergreen Line is on its way. The most important thing from my perspective is whether we are articulating a vision for a future that is clear and that the community can look at and understand where we’re going.” We n dy S wa l we l l , president of the Moody Centre Community Association, took issue with zoning that seems to be “split” within the same block and how that would affect neighbours, and that there is too much density being proposed. “The density is way more than what any resident I’ve ever talked to has wanted or mentioned,” she said. Swalwell suspects the number of towers comes from the June design charette, where she believes developers and architects far outnumbered residents. She’s planning to organize some Q&A sessions with city council and staff, where Moody Centre residents can find out more about the plan. Coun. Diana Dilworth noted the draft OCP puts the city in the right direction after years of uncertainty. “We have one chance to get this right and this is the time,” Dilworth said, but they need plenty of public input

to ensure the OCP that’s eventually approved is the community’s vision. The draft OCP, which included a number of amendments added by council at the committeeof-the-whole meeting, will be endorsed at next Tuesday’s special council meeting. A public input session is planned for Jan. 13, after which it will go back to staff for further review.

Robinson: Experience is needed; Reimer: Prov. election is important continued from front page
“Given the fact that there will be a provincial election in 2013, will the candidates seeking a mandate to serve us in a civic capacity stand up now and confirm they will — barring health or family crisis — complete the full three-year term for which they are seeking election and not force an unnecessary cost of a byelection on taxpayers?” (The meeting was f i l m e d by Tr i - C i t y Community TV and can be seen onYouTube.) Both Reimer and Robinson responded “Yes.” Coquitlam lawyer Richard Rainey, a past Chamber chair who was the MC for that meeting, told The Tri-City News on Thursday the topic has generated some talk in the last week. He said he has been asked recently by about half a dozen people in the community about Reimer and Robinson’s answer to

Coquitlam Coun. Selina Robinson
“The thing is, you’ve got a couple of good candidates that have been asked by both their parties to run and I think that that’s a good deal for the taxpayers.” Coquitlam Coun. Linda Reimer that question. Thursday, asked about her answer last year versus her actions this year, Robinson said: “What I said back then — based on what information I had back then — was absolutely accurate. Things change. Diane [Thorne] retired. When I said what I said, there was nothing on the horizon. There was nothing. So it was an accurate statement at the time.”
Said Reimer: “At the time, I meant what I said when I said it. But a lot has changed since then. For starters, I didn’t anticipate being approached to run. At the end of the day, I feel the next election is too important not to be involved and, of course, I think we need a BC Liberal government re-elected in Victoria to protect our economy and sustain our job growth. And I’m concerned what
Carrier of the Week
will happen if the NDP were to form government.” Reimer also said municipal politicians are frequently asked to run as provincial and federal candidates. As for the potential of prompting a byelection that would cost around $125,000 to hold, Robinson gave the following example: “If you run a corporation and you have some managers that leave that have responsibilities for certain parts of the business, and you had some other people who could fill that role who could do it well — based on their experience, based on their demonstrated activities — you would want them to apply for that opening in your organization. They
know the work. They know the job. “Now, when they do that, it creates another opening somewhere else in the organization that you’re going to have to advertise and interview.... We don’t bat our eyelash at that. I don’t know if this [campaign] is any different. There’s one taxpayer who pays for all of it and I would think they would want somebody with experience, with qualifications to represent them inVictoria.” Added Reimer: “The thing is, you’ve got a couple of good candidates that have been asked by both their parties to run and I think that that’s a good deal for the taxpayers.”

Glumac following rules, says Nuttall By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody’s council meeting on Tuesday ended abruptly — about halfway through the agenda — when a lone city councillor refused to vote in favour of extending the meeting past 10 p.m. When a meeting goes late, unanimous approval of council is required to keep the meeting going after the 10 p.m. cutoff. It’s usually an automatic that all councillors vote to continue the meeting. But Coun. Rick Glumac voted against extending the meeting, saying as a new councillor, he wasn’t aware how uncommon it is to vote against the motion. “There were enough compelling reasons for me to vote against it, so I did,”he said. He said there was too much packed into the agenda, which came after a lengthy committee of the whole meeting, and since the meeting took place at Kyle Centre — not city hall council chambers — it was not televised or streamed on-

Gerry Nuttall said Glumac was within his rights to vote against the extension. “We’d been there a long time, since 4 p.m., and it was uncomfortable,” Nuttall said. “He had the right to do it if he felt we shouldn’t go on, so that’s what he did. “If people don’t like the way that was done then change the rules,” he said, “but don’t go after the person who exercised his right.” Items on the agenda that were missed include a review of the Rocky Point food carts pilot project as well as discussion about the status of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ application for the new fire hall.

‘Sport bed’ to be used for ERH’s sickest patients Hospital foundation fundraised for speciality item

PHEW!
YOU SURVIVED THE FALL
By Sarah Payne THe Tri-CiTy News
When you’re sick enough to be admitted to Eagle Ridge Hospital’s Monitored Care Unit (MCU), the last thing you want is an uncomfortable bed. That’s why the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation focused its latest Have a Heart direct mail campaign on raising funds for its first special mobility bed. The “sport bed” boasts features that can bring a patient to a sitting and standing position, turn the patient from side to side and even offer a therapeutic massage. A percussion feature even gives patients a light tapping on the back, which keeps fluids moving and prevents pneumonia. “The more we can keep people moving and increase their activity level,” said Dwayne Anderson, program manager of the MCU, the

Instead of a hard, narrow mattress, the new sport bed measures the hospital’s sickest and most frail patients’ weight and fills with air accordingly; the sides are also cushioned. Karen Horton, director of development for the
hospital foundation, said the hope is to one day fill the 10-bed MCU with the special sport beds, which cost $40,000 each. Charlene GiovanettiKing, executive director of the foundation, said fundraising for more beds will be worked in to ERHF campaigns over the next couple of years
and “if we were able to attract a significant donor, we could move that along much faster.” Donors who contributed to the latest Have a Heart campaign for the bed had a chance to check out the bells and whistles at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday. spayne@tricitynews.com

Operation Red Nose Show you have the bright kicks-off this weekend By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Operation Red Nose is looking for volunteers to help keep impaired drivers off the road this holiday season. The organization, which offers rides to people who are under the influence, is launching this year’s program tonight (Friday) and tomorrow. The program will continue on Dec. 7, 8, 14, 15 and 22, and on NewYear’s Eve. “ Vo l u n t e e r s a r e the heart and soul of Operation Red Nose and this is such a success story,” said Chris Wilson, the Tri-City co-ordinator for the organization. “Last year, we had 139 volunteers in our community and gave almost 600 rides. As amazing as that was, we’re still looking for more help.” Under the program,

Operation Red Nose volunteers will be on the road this weekend.
Red Nose volunteers drive the impaired person and their vehicle wherever they need to go. The service is free but donations to KidSport, a charity that helps connect young people with sporting opportunities in the community, are encouraged. “The main focus is getting people home safely,” Wilson said. “But we have a very generous
community. Last year, our average donation was $30, which was the highest in the province.” Volunteers work in teams of three, with two driving the client in the client’s vehicle and the third following behind in their vehicle. This year, Operation Red Nose will be taking clients to Burnaby and New Westminster as well. In the 2011/’12 holiday season, 4,241 Operation Red Nose volunteers provided 7,716 rides in 23 communities in B.C., driving 188,000 km to get people home safely. Volunteers are asked to fill out a simple application and have a criminal record check done. Anyone interested in volunteering should email orn@shaw.ca or visit www.operationrednose. com.

No one hurt in Coq. fire By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Investigators are trying to determine what caused a fire that ripped through an apartment building on Westview Street Tuesday afternoon. The fire started in a ground floor unit and quickly rose, burning out second- and thirdfloor suites and causing significant smoke damage throughout the building. “The smoke was down to the floor level,” said Coquitlam Fire Chief Tony Delmonico.“It was a real hot fire.” Crews were able to knock down the flames quickly but the units around the source of the blaze sustained significant damage. It could take months for those apartments to be repaired and restoration people were still assessing the damage, Delmonico said. Residents were forced to stay at a hotel Tuesday and Wednesday but by Thursday, many of the building’s inhabitants were able to return home. There were no injuries, in part, Delmonico said, because the fire occurred at noon when most residents were at work.
bridge tolls The Transportation Investment Corporation, the agency responsible for the Port Mann/Highway 1 Project, recently took these scenic and aerial photos of the new Port Mann bridge, which will officially open with tolls tomorrow (Saturday). To get a vehicle decal, register at treo.ca. The discounted cost for a way-one trip across the bridge is $1.50 for a car, truck or SUV, until Feb. 28. Vehicle owners who signed up for the decal before Nov. 30 received 20 free trips.

Be Aware and Get Prepared Winter 2012/2013 The City of Coquitlam reviews its snow removal policies and service priorities each year to make service improvements to better meet the needs of our community. This guide highlights what the City does during snow events and outlines what you can do to keep sidewalks and roads safe and help ensure your family is prepared. Parking During Snow Events Please remember to park your vehicle in your driveway as soon as the snow begins to fall empty streets enable snow plows to do a better job and ensures room for salt spreaders to cover more space. A “No Parking” restriction is in place from December 1 - February 15 on problematic routes. Please pay attention to street signs.
Emergency Preparedness Before a winter storm arrives, plan ahead so you can comfortably and safely carry on during the winter season. Y Make arrangements with family members who may be elderly or have limited mobility issues and who do not live with you – help them prepare for winter.
The City’s Snow Removal Procedures & Priorities
Y Get your home winterized – have your furnace inspected, shut off outside water, and clean the catch basin grates before snow arrives.
The City plows and salts 1020 km of road lanes throughout Coquitlam. City crews work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during snow events to maintain accessibility for emergency and transit vehicles on collector, arterial, emergency and bus routes that connect major sections of the community.
Y Winterize your vehicle and, when it snows, drive only with good winter tires. Y Make alternate plans for getting to work in the snow.
Priority service areas include:
Y Be sure to have warm clothing and shoes or boots with good traction.
Y Public school sites Y Community care facilities
Y Plan ahead for power outages that can last for a few minutes or longer.
Y Fire stations Y Hospitals Y Police stations Y Central business district, and Y Subzones with high percentage of local roads with grades in excess of 10%.
Snow Removal on Sidewalks Give Each Other a Hand It is the responsibility of all owners or occupiers of property, including the City, to clear ice and snow from the sidewalks bordering the property within 10 hours of the cessation of any snowfall or ice storm and to continue to keep them clear. Accessibility around bus shelters is particularly important. Check with others on your street to see if anyone who is elderly or has limited mobility issues may need help clearing their sidewalk.
Snow Angels
For more information on emergency preparedness, contact the HEROS Program at 604-945-1578 or visit www.coquitlam.ca.
Do you need help clearing your sidewalk?
Garbage and Recycling Collection
If you live in the Westwood Plateau and Como Lake areas and are unable to shovel your sidewalk due to a disability or restriction, or are over 65, you may qualify for the Snow Angel Pilot Program. Call 604-927-6909.
Sometimes during heavy snow events road conditions are too hazardous for the large disposal trucks and garbage and/or recycling may be temporarily cancelled. If your garbage day is missed, collection will resume the following week on your regular collection day and the two container bag limit will be waived for that next collection.
Would you like to help others? If you are interested in volunteering as a Snow Angel and are 16 years of age or older and live in one of these areas, you can find out more by calling 604-927-6909.
Visit www.coquitlam.ca/winterwise for more details.
Please keep this for easy reference and safely enjoy the winter season.

Ten tips for a low-waste holiday season! 1. Send Zero waste Christmas cards. Get creative and try making cards using last year’s cards and calendars. Consider using e-cards to cut down on paper waste.
2. Feed your Green Can and composter. Use your Green Can for leftovers from that delicious holiday dinner. If you have a backyard composter, use it for all your fruit and vegetable leftovers.
3. Choose the right tree and compost after the holidays. Know the pros and cons of buying artificial and real trees. Recycle your natural Christmas tree at a local tree chipping site.
4. Don’t buy items with excess packaging. Leave excess packaging with the retailer at time of purchase.
5. Use re-usable bags. Take your own reusable shopping bag. Cut down on packaging and encourage reuse by placing your present in a reusable bag that your loved one can use again and again.
6. Purchase durable goods rather than disposable items. Avoid purchasing disposable products. The cost of reusable products may be higher initially, but in the long run will save you money. Look for the longest warranty with the best repair service possible. Buy products that will last or that can be repaired; make durability, not price, your primary factor in purchasing decisions.
7. Don’t throw anything away that can be reused or repaired. Your trash could be someone else’s treasure. Donate your old clothes and household items to a thrift store like the Salvation Army, Big Brothers Renew Crew, the Canadian Diabetes Association or other charities. Swap or sell you’re unwanted items at: • Vancouver Recycles • Freecycle • RCBC’s electronic trading post
8. Take back used electronics. Call 604-RECYCLE to find out what programs are available or check the Return-It website to locate Encorp Return-It depots.
9. Give experiences. Instead of presents give memorable experience gifts such as concert, sport or theatre tickets, gift certificates to a restaurant or spa, movie passes and memberships to educational amusement venues for the kids. You can also arrange for useful things around the house such as house cleaning, car wash, piano tuning, etc.
10. Donate a gift in someone’s name. Buy gifts from non-profit organizations that help communities in need. Your family and friends may appreciate donations made in their name to charities – a heart-warming gift!

Notice of Public HeariNg item 3 text amendment to Permit accessory amusement arcades Within the cS-1 Service commercial Zone
www.coquitlam.ca/publichearing
The intent of bylaw No. 4354, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to create a new definition for accessory amusement arcades and permit them within the CS-1 Service Commercial zone with certain conditions. Highlights of the proposed amendments are as follows: • Add a definition in the Zoning Bylaw, for “accessory amusement arcades”, which is defined as a use subordinate and accessory to a principal business; • Permit accessory amusement arcades only in conjunction with movie theatres and indoor children’s play centres; • Limit accessory amusement arcades to ten percent (10%) of the floor area of the business; and • Prohibit independent, direct public access to an accessory amusement arcade. If approved, the proposed amendment will allow for token-operated, redemption amusement games, with conditions, as an accessory use within the CS-1 Service Commercial zone.
item 4 text amendment to Permit temporary Sales centres on Multi-family residential construction Sites The intent of bylaw No. 4368, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to allow for “residential sales centres” with conditions, in all zones except the A-3 Agriculture and Resource zone. Highlights of the proposed amendments are as follows: • Add a definition in the Zoning Bylaw for “residential sales centre”, which is defined as a building used for marketing of residential developments or residential land; • Permit a “residential sales centre” in all zones, except the A-3 Agriculture and Resources zone subject to several conditions, including: • Must comply with the building setback and building height of the zone in which it is located; • Must provide a minimum of two off-street parking spaces; • Must be sited a minimum of 1.5 metres (5 feet) away from an active construction area; • Is only permitted on a multi-family residential development site with an approved Development Permit or a one-family residential development site with final subdivision approval; • Must only be used to market the development approved for the site on which the residential sales centre is located; and • Must be removed once the development has received building occupancy approvals. In addition to the above, as well as all construction approvals, residential sales centres will be required to comply with all building permit approvals.
item 5 text amendment to Subdivision regulations related to Minimum lot Size The intent of bylaw No. 4362, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to include additional subdivision regulations relating to minimum lot sizes requirements, in order to assist in the processing of lot consolidations in existing non-conforming situations, as well as to streamline the regulations for creating new lots from road or lane cancellations. Specifically, the proposed Zoning Bylaw text amendments would allow the following: • Consolidation of non-conforming lots to a new lot having less than the minimum lot size requirements of the Bylaw, at the discretion of the City’s subdivision Approving Officer; and • The creation of a lot resulting from a road or lane cancellation having less than the minimum lot size requirements of the Bylaw, where such lot is created for a City purpose and is owned by the City.
How do I find out more information?

Volunteering for a local charity can make the holiday season extra special. This year, Share Family and Community Services will be providing plenty of opportunities for people to give of their time to help others less fortunate. Last year, for example, Share registered 1,749 households for Christmas hampers and the social service agency expects to register even more families this season. For instance, volunteers are once again needed to help with the annual by-donation gift wrap and gift tree at Coquitlam Centre. The program opens Nov. 30 at the mall and more than 800 shifts needed to be filled for this important event supporting the Share Toy Shoppe and other programs.Volunteers must be 16 years or older and those interest in helping should call Ruth at 604-5295104. Other volunteer postings: • Office assistance: Greet donors, accept and record donations at the front counter, answer phones, photocopy and other office duties. • Christmas hamper packing: Put together food hampers (small, medium, and large) and must be able to lift heavy boxes. • Food sorting: Sort food donations into categories. Involves organizing food donations, labelling and weighing food, lifting and carrying boxes, maintaining a clean work area and recycling boxes. • Truck drivers: Pick up food and toy donations, load and unload food boxes, ensure trucks are in good condition, and assist with stocking and inventory. • Toy Shoppe: Sort and process toy donations. This is a warehouse environment and does require some heavy lifting.Volunteers are also needed to assist families during Toy Shoppe visits. To volunteer with the food bank, call 604-931-2451 or email jeremy.pearson@ sharesociety.ca. For more information, visit www.sharesociety.ca.

Coquitlam was a busy place last weekend with Mayor Richard Stewart and Jack Trumley, library board chair, officially opening the new $15-million City Centre library branch last Saturday (with library director Rhiann Piprell holding the ribbon). And, on Sunday, the Gentlemen of Fortune barbershop choir entertained at the annual Light the Hall holidays festivities at city hall. Santa was on hand to take photos with participants young and young-at-heart while volunteers helped kids design Christmas arts and crafts.

STAR-BOUND CENA
Port Moody’s Frankie Cena — aka Mr. World Canada — showed off his talent, fitness, speaking and style skills this month at the Mr. World Competition in England. Cena’s winning performance of Jay Sean’s Down automatically earned him a spot in the Top 10; he was also named runner-up in the multi-media challenge, which recognized his fan interaction, daily video logs and reporting abilities. Despite the accolades, Cena, a UBC business undergrad, didn’t advance to the Top 3. Mr. Columbia won the championship title.

THIS IS JUST A TEST A simulation exercise at Douglas College’s David Lam campus the morning of Nov. 22 brought together health sciences and paramedic students to enhance collaboration and communication between the professions. In the first simulation at the Coquitlam campus, an “elderly woman” fell and was assisted by nursing students (far left and right) while they waited for a primary care paramedic student from the Justice Institute of BC. Later that day, the schools were set to do another simulation, this one involving a man with a history of mental illness who is resisting going to the hospital to be treated for wounds and depression.

Talk health care, science and religion SFU Philosophers Café is hosting a pair of events in December:
COQUITLAM
On Dec. 13, Coquitlam Public Library’s Poirier branch hosts a discussion on the rising costs of health care and our aging society. The café’s moderator, Amir Kamyabnejad, an SFU biomedical engineering MA student, wonders what will some of the consequences be of
an aging population and how should we deal with it? The session starts at 7 p.m. The library is located at 575 Poirier St.
POCO
On Dec. 17, the Gathering Place in PoCo’s Leigh Square Community Arts Village is the site of a session on “Science and religion: An unholy alliance?” Many people believe science and religion occupy two
separate worlds and that never the twain shall meet, yet they both claim to be the truth, according to a café press release. How do we honour the claims of both science and religion?, asks moderator Graham Forst, who taught philosophy and English at the university level for many years and has published widely on the subject of literary criticism. Can and should they both play a part in
modern life? Has science cancelled religion? The session starts at 7 p.m. the Gathering Place is located at 1100-2253 Leigh Square Pl., behind PoCo city hall. With either Philosopher’s Café, admission is free and everyone is welcome, and neither registration and experience are required. For more information, visit www.philosopherscafe.net.

Fresh greens for Xmas IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter Pine is a great choice for longevity
M
mmmm! Nothing smells as nice for the Christmas season as fresh greens inside our homes. It’s good to see folks coming back to more traditional Christmas decorating but keeping greens fresh is important.There are all kinds of fresh greens you can enjoy indoors but I always look for two qualities: one is how long they will stand up under dry conditions and the other is their fragrance. For both longevity and fragrance, it is hard to beat pine. All pine varieties have a wonderful scent but one of the most attractive is Pinus strobus or White Pine. Its soft blue needles look so graceful and they can be used in a variety of situations, particularly to accent fresh flowers and centrepieces. The long-needled Pinus ponderosa is also attractive, especially when branch tips are cut and placed in a large vase. The best use of these branches, however, is for door swags. With their naturally curved tips and large cones, they look perfect when combined with a big red velvet bow and a few shiny baubles and Christmas novelties. The rich blue needles of Scotch pine are also great to use in a variety of situations. True fir or the abies family is my second choice for indoor greens. Balsam and Grand Fir are very good when it comes to retaining needles and when you brush your hand against their boughs, the fragrance puts you back in the woods. I particularly like the silver underside of their needles.The flat nature of their branches makes these greens ideal for swags or for advent and traditional wreaths. Blue spruce is the ultimate picea and its branches make beautiful door swags as well.The
needles on spruce, however, do not last as long as abies or pine and they are sharp, making them somewhat more difficult to work with. Douglas Fir, named after Alexander Douglas, a British botanist who collected specimens of West Coast trees and took them back to Britain, is neither a spruce nor a fir - that’s why they are classified as ‘pseudo tsuga menziesii’.They have a delightful fragrance and make beautiful looking Christmas trees but unfortunately, their branches dry out far too quickly to make them an ideal green for indoor use. Hemlocks are much the same: lovely but difficult both for drying out and for needle drop. Cedar is an old time favourite for many reasons but I’m afraid it also has a short lifespan indoors. If you can keep it in a cool room or use it outside the home, its pendulous branches are useful in swags, wreaths and most importantly, in cedar ropes. Another super idea is to pull all the spent flowers from your moss hanging baskets and replace them with all kinds of cedar tips to create wonderful Christmas baskets. Add a few frosted cones, some holly and a big red bow with long tails and you’ve got a very attractive addition to your outside décor. One of the most unique and attractive ideas that I’ve seen in a long time is a traditional European greens arrangement. Using a piece of florist’s oasis in a low bowl, arrange a variety of colourful green tips from yellow, blue, gold, green and bronze foliaged trees. A twisted stem of contorted filbert, one or two tall thin candles, bits of moss and a few dried perennials can be added for a finishing touch. It’s a very creative way to wow your friends and guests and it will last right through the festive season. Cut branches are no different than cut flowers. Seven to ten days is about the maximum time for any greens to be indoors without being in water.Try to have an extra supply on hand so you can replenish your creations and keep them
fresh looking. By cutting about one inch off the bottom of each stem and by keeping them in room temperature water, the life span of most greens can be tripled. Also a well known product, called Wilt Pruf, is an organic anti-desiccant readyto-use spray that coats boughs and trees with a

clear film to make them last two to three times longer. Christmas greens are so nice inside our homes at this time of year.They’re inexpensive, natural and fragrant.To enjoy them longer, be sure to mist them often and keep them in water if at all possible.

The first phase, a 15-storey tower, will mark the entrance to the Oval Village shopping district. The interiors will showcase quality finishes and sophisticated and efficient
design. Residents will have access to a private banquet room for entertaining. Other amenities include music rooms, a basketball court, a secured children’s play area, and much more. River Park Place will be a few blocks away from the new T&T Supermarket. There is also shopping, dining and the state-of-the-art Richmond Oval fitness centre located right in the neighbourhood.

Among the amenities offered is an outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, putting green, community garden, fully equipped fitness facility and a lounge and bar with a multi-media room, party room and kitchen, among other things. “Nobody else can offer these amenities,” says Greenfield. “We have 1.5 acres of outdoor space.” When you venture off the property, you will find shopping and dining just steps away at Coquitlam Centre. There are several leisure activities in the 2,200 acres of parks and trails nearby, as
well as education at Douglas College and several elementary and secondary schools. “Our location is optimal,” Greenfield says. “We made sure that we made life as comfortable as possible.” Intergulf is proud to offer 100 homes under $300,000, which gives first-time buyers a chance to buy a home in a great transit-oriented community. “This is a great investment,” Greenfield says. “It’s the optimal time to buy.” Homes at Grand Central Three start at $229,900.

‘It’s the optimal time to buy’
Living the grand life at Intergulf’s Grand Central By Kerry Vital
Life is grand at Intergulf Development Group’s Grand Central Three, in the heart of Coquitlam’s centre and right on the soon-to-bebuilt Evergreen Line. With great layouts, beautiful features and amazing amenities, finding the perfect home at Grand Central will not be hard. “We’ve been very careful to efficiently design the homes,” says Rennie project manager Macartney Greenfield. “Our layouts are pretty fantastic.” Ranging from 545 to over 1,400 square feet, the 249 homes are available in a range of one- and two-bedroom plans, some with a den as well. The 37-storey building has huge windows and spacious balconies or patios, so the outdoors is never far away no matter what the weather is like. Inside, the 8’8-ceilings and laminate wood flooring throughout the living and dining rooms combine for a truly great first impression. Buyers are able to choose between two colour schemes, Chelsea and Manhattan, giving you options for making your home yours. Stainless-steel appliances, contemporary wood veneer cabinetry and quartz countertops are all included in the elegant kitchen, and the marble backsplash is a highlight. “It really sticks out as a design

Returning players give Coq. Express a big boost Kerfoot, Morley and Pryzbek back in the lineup By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
It did not take long for Alexander Kerfoot, Zachary Pryzbek and Brandon Morley to find their scoring touch with the Coquitlam Express after the trio’s stint at the World Junior A Challenge last week. The three BCHL players were part of Team Canada West, which won silver at the tournament after losing 6-3 to the U.S. in the final game. Kerfoot notched the first goal of Friday’s game against the West Kelowna Warriors in front of the home crowd, a game the
Express eventually won 5-4 in overtime. But the team dug a hole in the middle frame, allowing three unanswered goals after Kerfoot’s marker to make it 3-1 for the visitors. The Coquitlam Express, which was on a five-game losing streak prior to Friday, were undeterred. John Siemer managed to bring the score to within one before Pryzbek tied the game in the final two minutes of the second period. West Kelowna retook the lead in the back-and-forth affair but Coquitlam’s Morley was able to tie the game off a feed from Travis Stephens. see ExPRESS, page 43
Tri-City can’t pull off upset in tourney finals The Tri-City Midget 1 girls hockey team came within a goal of winning first place at the Kamloops Female Ice Tournament last weekend, losing the final game 3-2 to Kelowna. Only an hour after the team’s semifinal, comefrom-behind victory over Cranbrook to get into the championship game, the Tri-Cities, which was tired and nursing injuries, kept it competitive against a physical Kelowna club. But in the end the club, which had a 2-1-1 record going into the final game, could not pull off the upset.
On their way to the finals, Tri-Cities went up against several undefeated clubs at the Kamloops tournament from across the interior, including the Cariboo, Shuswap, Okanagan and Kootenays region. The team struggled early in the semifinal game against Cranbrook, surrendering two goals before going into the third period. But the club managed to surprise their opponents by scoring first tying the game before taking the lead, eventually winning the match 4-3. sports@tricitynews.com

Hew re-writes record books at provincial meet Centennial swimmer wins gold in 50 m breastroke
sUbMiTTEd pHOTO
Gleneagle’s Hayley Knowles and Centennial’s Charlene Hew show off their hardware at the B.C. high school provincial swimming championships in Richmond last week.
Centennial secondary swimmer Charlene Hew set a new record in the girls’ 50 m breastroke last week when she finished with a 35.35 second race at the B.C. high school provincial championships. The time was good enough for first place
and broke a record that was last set in 2002. Hew was also able to help her team, consisting of fellow Centennial swimmers Tiana Tomessetti and Payden Dugger, to a bronze medal in the medley event. “We are very proud,” said Maureen Curran, the school’s swim team coordinator. “She busted a 10-year-old meet record… and led her medley relay team to a
bronze medal.” Hew, who trains with the Coquitlam Sharks and is a coach and lifeguard, also received a $250 scholarship or her performance at the swim meet. She was not the only Tri-City athlete to take home a medal at the provincial championship. Gleneagles Hayley Knowles took home the silver medal in the girls’ backtroke event.

Riverside’s Beales signs with SFU Rapid player will get chance to play in the NCAA By Gary McKenna The TRi-CiTy News
R i ve r s i d e R a p i d s girls’ basketball player Fiona Beales has signed a national letter of intent with Simon Fraser University. The Grade 12 student, who is captain of her high school team, averaged 11.2 points per game and eight rebounds. She also averaged 0.5 steals per game. “It’s exciting to add a player like Fiona as she is the type of player we ideally want in our program,” said SFU head coach Bruce Langford, whose brother Paul Langford coaches Riverside. “Fiona is academically sound, community focused and committed to being the best athlete that she can be.” Beales has played on the British Columbia provincial team for
the past t h r e e y e a r s at the under-17, u n d e r16 and under 15 BEALES levels. Langford said she was one of the few players who could physically compete with the American teams during last year’s tournament, which took place in Portland. She also takes time to coach youth players when she is not working on her own game. “Fiona is tough and competitive,” Langford said. “She is very dedicated to working on her game, she is physically strong and plays multiple positions.” Meanwhile, the SFU Clan will take on the Cal State Stanislaus Warriors of the California Collegiate Athletics Association in a nonconference game on Friday night. It will be the women’s basketball team’s first game as a full-fledged member of the NCAA.

the Express managed to score three of their own in the first period, including a power play marker potted by Zielonka. The 19-year-old rightwinger made it 3-1 after being set up by Seimer before the end of the first period. An insurance goal from Pryzbek helped the team take a dominating lead and a West Kelowna goal in the dying min-
utes of the game was not enough to spur a comeback for the Warriors. The Coquitlam Express will take on the Surrey Eagles at the South Surrey Arena tonight (Friday, Nov. 30) before returning home to the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex for a 7 p.m. puck drop against Trail.

Chris Culhane took home a gold medal at the 2012 Junior Racquetball Championships last weekend in Los Angeles. The 12-year-old Coquitlam player came back to win the finals in the singles division, defeating a player from Guatemala in both the semis and the championship game. He was not the only member of the Culhane family to reach the podium. Chris’ brother Connor snagged a bronze medal after his third place finish in the 16-under Challenger Cup. Grace Killins, also from Coquitlam, won a bronze medal in both the girls’ singles division and in the doubles category. The event was Killins’ second world championship tournament for Canada. sports@tricitynews.com
