PoCo imam is charged with sex offences Witnesses sought By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
DAN EBENAL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Ten-year-old Neleh Smith of Port Moody leads her pooch J.J. through some agility training at last Sunday’s Paws for a Cause event at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park. The annual event is organized by the B.C. SPCA to raise money to help the nearly 29,000 animals that are injured, neglected and abused each year.
An imam at the Masjid Al-Hidayah and Islamic Cultural Centre in Port Coquitlam has been charged with sexual assault stemming from an alleged incident in June. Charges against Saadeldin Bahr, commonly known in the community as Dr. Saad, were approved on Wednesday and he is expected to make his first appearance in PoCo provincial court on Sept. 23. In a press release, the Coquitlam RCMP said police continue to investigate and are interested in hearing from anyone who may have information that could advance the case. see IN COURT, page 3
Girl, 15, struck and killed Riverside school grieving death of Annie Leung By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A memorial has sprung up at the site of an accident Tuesday that killed Annie Leung, 15, a Riverside secondary student.
The search continues for a driver who struck and killed a 15-year-old girl Tuesday afternoon in Port Coquitlam before fleeing. Annie Leung was
walking near the intersection of Mary Hill and Pitt River roads when, witnesses said, she was struck by a black Ford F-150 with a black canopy being driven by an older male with greying hair. “That is all the information we have at this point,” said Coquitlam R C M P C p l . Ja m i e Chung. “With that information, we are hoping that somebody will come forward.”
The victim was quickly rushed to hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. A memorial has been set up at the intersection and Coquitlam’s Traffic Services department is investigating with the help of the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Services. On Wednesday, several reports showed up on Twitter saying that police had pulled over a black
pickup truck with frontend damage and taken a man into custody. Those tweets were false, according to RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson, who said police have not made any arrests and have yet to identify a suspect. “Obviously, our officers are hyper aware of any trucks with front-end damage,” he said. “They will be doing stops.” see COUNSELLING, page 3

Staff and students at Riverside secondary school, where Leung was a student, were mourning her loss this week. Friends of the teen took to Twitter to send their condolences. “I can’t believe that the hilarious, sweet girl that stood next to us in choir is gone,” said one friend. “Today has been a shock.” Another person tweeted: “I’m so thankful I was able to have the chance to get to know Annie last year. Annie, u have sucha beautiful soul, u will be missed #RIPAnnie.” School District 43 assistant superintendent Julie Pearce said counsellors were being dispatched to schools throughout the district to support teachers and students.

The strain has been felt hardest at Riverside, where Leung was starting Grade 10. “We are just trying to deal with our staff and our students,” said princi-
pal Anthony Ciolfitto.“We will support them. We have a plan in place for these kinds of situations.” Some media coverage of Tuesday’s accident has focused on comments that the intersection is unsafe.

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Douglas College is looking to establish stronger relationship with community and business leaders as it strives to create opportunities for its growing student body. Enrolment is up 7% over last fall, according to Hazel Postma, DC’s vice-president of external relations, making it vitally important for the college, with its campuses in Coquitlam and New Westminster, to keep the lines of communication open. “We believe we’re doing a good job engaging with the community but we want to learn if there’s room to improve,” Postma said. “If there are community groups looking for further support from us or who can provide new opportunities for our students or faculty, we’d like to hear
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Hazel Postma, vice-president of external relations for Douglas College, is welcoming business and community leaders to a forum to gather input about the role the college and students can play in the community. about them.” To that end, the college is hosting two forums this month: one in Room 3011 at the Coquitlam campus, 1250 Pinetree Way, on Monday, Sept. 23, 4 to 6 p.m.; the other in the Aboriginal Gathering Place at the
New Westminster campus, 700 Royal Ave., on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 4 to 6 p.m. “This is really a listening exercise. We want to hear the thoughts and opinions of leaders in the business, corporate, government and non-profit

sectors as well as other community members,” Postma explained. The timing couldn’t be better as Douglas examines how it will continue to provide a meaningful college experience for students who are flocking to the two campuses

in record numbers. According to Postma, unofficial numbers suggest that fall registration is at 11,700, 7% higher than last year, with approximately 14,500 students expected to attend this year. Those students want to get the most from their experience, Postma said, and typically Douglas
uses its relationships with business and community groups to provide them with practicums, co-ops, work experience, volunteering and other opportunities. The goal of the forum is to build on the relationships and possibly extend those experiences, she said. Another issue that
may soon be on the table is expansion. The New Westminster campus is full, even after the entire Child, Family and Community Studies department and its 800 students was moved to the David Lam campus. “And our Coquitlam campus continues to get busier and with the Evergreen Line coming in 2016, making it even more accessible, it, too, will soon be full.” The upcoming forums will provide more information about the opportunities for partnerships and the college’s role in the community, with a keynote presentation from college president Scott McAlpine.

Local parents hot over SD43 autism position By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Parents of children with autism say School District 43 didn’t give them a fair hearing when it declined their proposal for new training requirements for special education assistants (SEAs). Several parents seeking applied behaviour analysis (ABA) training for special education assistants who work with children with autism walked out of the board of education meeting Tuesday, some in tears. At issue was the board’s refusal to require ABA training for SEAs or to match them one-on-one with students with autism. Board chair Melissa Hyndes read out a letter that said the district already has trained teachers working with autistic students, whose graduation rates are higher than the provincial average. In the letter, Hyndes suggested parents get involved with the district’s student services advisory committee to talk out their issues, a position backed by assistant superintendent Reno Ciolfi in later conversation with parents. But the parents say the district failed to follow up their concerns or make inquiries about a pro-

A group calling itself the Tri-City ABA Neighbourhood Network, including Nancy Walton, left, and Jodie Wickens, is disappointed the School District 43 board of education won’t consider a proposal to develop a plan for applied behaviour analysis (ABA) training for special education assistants working with autistic children in TriCities public schools. posal they say was heavily backed up by research nor did the board reply to emails or provide parents with a written response prior to the meeting. According to Hyndes, requiring SEAs to have specialized training and matching them with students would be a “significant departure” from current practices and would have a “significant cost” to the district. The parents say they only wanted to begin a
“conversation” and to collaborate on a program that could mirror similar programs, such as one in Surrey school district. Parent Jodie Wickens said the program would not cost the district any additional money but would provide better supports and educational outcomes for her son and other people’s children. “Without people whose training is on the specific home program [that parents pay for with a provincial subsidy], our children are not getting an education at all,”Wickens said. Applied behaviour analysis is the process of breaking tasks into small, teachable parts and then reinforcing the learning. According to research provided by the group, is better than more generalized programming for improving autistic students’ reading, academic, social communication and adaptive living skills. Other groups, however, promote alternative therapies while the district is sticking to its Coquitlam autism spectrum team to provide supports to students with autism. The provincial government will pay $22,000 a year for children up to six years of age for intervention services from a registry of service providers, and up
www.tricitynews.com
to $6,000 per year for children from six to 18 years. Pa r e n t s b e l o n g ing to the Tri-City ABA Neighbourhood Network say ABA is most effective for their children and want the program they use at home to continue in school so they won’t lose the benefits. On Thursday, they took their concerns to a Vancouver radio show and are hosting a workshop on Sept. 21 at the Surrey SFU campus. The group also wants to meet one-on-one with Ciolfi, who heads up the student’ services department, Wickens told The TriCity News. According to Ciolfi, the district has developed its autism programs over the years with the input of parents and teachers, and they are “evidenced-based” and “well-established.” He told the parents a representative from their group would be welcome on the committee. But outside the board meeting, parents were heated in their frustration with the board’s response. Nancy Walton said an “autism bubble” is coming as students diagnosed with autism are now just moving through the system, so the district’s claims of high graduation rates aren’t applicable. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Development details such as size, storeys prove contentious in PM Public hearing to be held Sept. 30 By Jason Roessle The Tri-CiTy NewS
Port Moody council only waded partway through the newest draft of the official community plan (OCP) Tuesday in a four-hour long meeting punctuated with discussion about building heights. Council went through the 231-page document chapter by chapter, hearing from city staff about new additions or corrections made since the last go-around, and making some alterations. A debate ensued once chapter four (overall land use strategy) was reached. The 2012 version of the OCP contained a floor space ratio (FSR) map for certain neighbourhoods but this was removed from the current version (the ratio is the measure of the building relative to the lot). According to Port Moody’s general manager of development services, Tim Savoie, removing these numbers would provide developers “with more flexibility” and enable more “innovative proposals” to be brought forward to council. Coun. Rick Glumac made the motion to incorporate the map with FSR to create a density vision; he also called for there to be a ratio of 2.5 for Inlet Centre station transitedoriented development area, 2 for the Gateway district and 1.5 for the other areas. A map would allow residents to have a “sense of the density” or
See letter, pg. 12 certain neighbourhoods, Glumac continued. The motion was defeated. “Just because we don’t agree with the motion doesn’t mean we’re not concerned with density in our neighbourhoods,” said Coun. Diana Dilworth. “I don’t think we can put specifics in this document at this time. Why should we put limits in right now? We haven’t seen any developers’ plans.” “I’m uncomfortable labelling every possible project with an FSR of 2.5 as a bad plan,” said Coun. Zoe Royer. “Newport [Village] is 2.5 and it’s a great plan.” Mayor Mike Clay then made a motion, which was ultimately defeated, to remove a reference to the maximum number of storeys from the Moody Centre, Inlet Centre and Oceanfront areas. Glumac disagreed. “We’ve just spent months getting public input on heights throughout the community and you’re talking about removing heights from this document?”he asked. The mayor said “Yes” and Glumac responded, saying, “It seems to me to be, frankly, a cowardly approach as a mayor that you want to just step back from this because you don’t want to take the flack on heights in Port Moody.” Clay said he didn’t appreciate being called cowardly and suggested any proposed developments should be brought forward to the community.
“I believe it would be misleading the public if we remove the heights,” said Royer, while Coun. Bob Elliott said he
wouldn’t support this “mid-stream”change. A date to finish discussing the OCP still has not been chosen but it

SD43 deficit now pegged at $10M By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
The bouncing ball that was School District 43’s budget last year has come to rest on a final deficit figure — $10 million — which trustees hope can be paid over multiple years to ease the pain. On Tuesday, the board of education accepted its audited financial statements and came to grips with the news that another $1.8 million had to be added to the projected $8.2 million deficit because a change in accounting procedures resulted in a bigger number. The money won’t likely have to be paid back for a year, and even then, the deficit pay-back plan could be spread over as long as five years. Still, the news will likely come as a shock to members of the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association and CUPE Local 561, which have been critical of the district’s handling of its finances. At Tuesday’s first board meeting of the new school year, presidents of both the CTA and CUPE, which represents SD43 support staff, took the district to task for problems that led to a defi-
PAC edUCATION meeT SePT. 25
Find out how you can get more involved in your school by attending an orientation evening for parent advisory councils organized by the School District 43 Parent Advisory Council. PAC 101 will be held Sept. 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Gallery Room at Winslow Centre, 1100 Winslow Ave., Coquitlam. Participants will learn how to run a meeting, constitution and bylaws, finances and gaming, and how to keep records straight — important information for new and returning PAC members. Register online by Sept. 24 at dpac43pacorientation.eventbrite.ca or call 604-939-3690 (leave your name, number and number of people attending). cit that would have been $5 million larger if cuts weren’t made early in the year. “We’re quite concerned about the ability of the district to get a handle on its financial situation, given the inability of district leadership and the board to adequately explain what has happened so far,” said CTA president Charley King. Job cuts and the impact on CUPE members was the focus of remarks from Dave Ginter. The head of the local bargaining unit said layoff notices were handed to 80 members, not 51 as originally projected, and half went to teaching assistants who help in school offices, libraries and even support the high-
growth area of French immersion. Ginter called for more transparency in the budgeting process so people know where they stand. “I know I’m not sure, and my members aren’t sure,”he said. Teacher job loss was high, too, King said, with 60 educators not called back after 500 layoff notices were issued; as well, many of those who were hired back were given reduced hours or substitute teaching posts. Meanwhile, the audited financial statements carried some good news. For one thing, the projected deficit of $8.2 million held fast over the latter part of the year, despite some fluctuations in spending and

R
eports coming out suggest that we will soon be forking out some big cash to turn on the lights and run the dishwasher in the coming years. Some media reports say we may be shelling out 26% more for BC Hydro utilities, although the energy minister says it might not be so high. Who’s to blame? Was it poor management by the BC Liberals, through their adventurism with independent power producers, as some say. Was it simply that we have been paying rates that are artificially low for years given the cost of upgrading the infrastructure? Or was the cost of implementing smart meters to blame. It’s too late to point fingers — now is the time to shore up Hydro and ensure we have a stable utility for years to come. But to get to that place, British Columbians need assurance their power utility is being well-managed. More oversight and transparency of Hydro decisions are surely needed so a valuable utility doesn’t become a political football for opportunists and conspiracy theorists.

Gov’t has bad case of cold feet on civic election change AS I SEE IT Dermod Travis
W
hales have shorter gestation periods. For the third time since the Local Government Elections Task Force tabled its report, the B.C. government has been stricken with a case of cold feet. In 2010, the task force made 31 recommendations to improve local democracy, including: setting campaign spending limits for candidates; requiring all election advertising to disclose who paid for it; and requiring financial reports to be posted online through Elections BC. Two months after the Task Force tabled its report, the BC Liberal government said it would proceed with the recommendations in time for the 2011 elections.Those elections came and went. Ida Chong, minister at the time, confessed that the Union of BC Municipalities and other groups “may be disappointed”by the government’s inertia. Last year, the government promised that the recommendations would be in place for the 2014 elections.This April, then deputy minister Don Fast, went so far as to write:“The Ministry of
Community, Sport and Cultural Development is conducting the work necessary to implement the recommendations of the Local Government Elections Task Force in time for the 2014 elections.” But last month the government got cold feet. Again. Most of the recommendations may be put into law, but not all. Notably, the government has chosen not to proceed with campaign spending limits in favour of yet more consultation, even though the task force received more than 10,000 written submissions during its 2010 review. It would seem B.C. voters need to steel themselves for another round of grossly obscene campaign spending during the 2014 local elections. Just how gross? In the 2011 election in Vancouver,VisionVancouver, the NPA and COPE collectively spent $5 million — that’s roughly $12 for every eligible voter. Contrast that with a candidate running for councillor in Montreal who can spend all of 30 cents per voter, a candidate for mayor 38 cents. In Toronto, candidates have a limit of 85 cents per voter. In Regina, the overall limit for a mayoralty candidate is $65,000 and a councillor $11,000. And it’s not just inVancouver where campaign

spending is over the top. Had Regina’s limits been in place for the mayor’s race inVictoria adjusted on a per-voter basis, the cap on election expenses would have been $26,120. Dean Fortin spent nearly three times that getting re-elected in the 2011. If local campaign spending is obscene, it only follows that candidates need to fall back on contributors with obscenely large wallets to pay the bills. And fall back they did. In the 2011 elections, the single largest donation was $960,000 courtesy of local land developer Rob Macdonald to Vancouver’s NPA. To put that sum into context, it’s more than double what Naheed Nenshi spent on his way to winning the mayor’s chair in Calgary in 2010 — and Calgary has nearly a quarter of a million more voters thanVancouver. It’s why most provinces have strict rules over who can give to a campaign and how much they can donate. In Montreal, the annual cap is $300, in Toronto $2,500, Winnipeg $750 and $5,000 in Calgary. In Quebec, you can only donate to a candidate for whom you can actually vote. So if you live in Sherbrooke, you can’t donate to a candidate running in Montreal. In Ontario and Manitoba, you have to live in the province to donate.
But in B.C., a donor doesn’t even have to live in Canada to cough up as much cash as they want, resulting in the bizarre case of American corporations donating to a candidate running for city hall in the Lower Mainland. Strangely though, the task force was opposed to setting restrictions on campaign donations, despite the fact that numerous councils and groups called for a cap on donations and a ban on corporate and union donations, positions that were supported at the time by an overwhelming majority of British Columbians. According to a 2010 public opinion survey conducted by the Mustel Group, 74.5% of respondents felt there should be a limit on how much any one person can donate to a local election campaign and two-thirds supported a ban on corporate and union donations. And now it’s time for the government to get over its chronic case of cold feet and adopt the task force’s 31 recommendations. By all means consult on other issues, but expense limits isn’t one of them. As the task force itself noted: Expense limits increase accessibility and fairness. Who could possibly oppose either?

“Port Moody needs fulltime councillors, not ones paid a stipend to wedge in a few council meetings around a 40-hour work week.” Jim Nelson What’s your take on this week’s Face to Face topic and what they have to say? Email your thoughts to newsroom@tricitynews.com.
Pay them, make them full-time P
ort Moody city councillors are looking for a raise.They should give themselves one. No one likes that politicians can give themselves pay hikes but in PoMo over the years, councillors have lost in negotiations with themselves. City of the Arts councillor salaries are 30% lower than PoCo’s and more than 50% lower than those in Coquitlam. Well, Port Moody council is now ready for prime time, like its Tri-City counterparts. With the potential new development surrounding the Evergreen Line, the Murray Street corridor imperative and the explosion of NewportVillage and Suter Brook, Port Moody needs full-time councillors, not ones paid a stipend to wedge in a few council meetings around a 40-hour work week. But none of this cuts any mustard with my colleague and others who have drunk the Fraser Institute KoolAid.To them, all pay increases hurt the economy, especially those public sector ones that use up valuable revenue, which should be earmarked for corporate welfare and tax breaks. And what about public sector bureaucrats making as much as their private sector counterparts? Why not? As a matter of fact, most public services are more valuable than some private businesses.
Whoa! Breathe, Andy, breathe. My friend, I know you’ve been dying to delineate the invisible advantages the public sector enjoys over the private sector: no competition, networking advantages, public profile and gold-plated pensions and working conditions. I even agree with you. But I don’t agree with your remedy. Instead of slashing our public sector in the race to the bottom you and the Fraser Institute envision, we should instead give tax incentives to private companies that raise wages. We should encourage and help subsidize respectable company pensions, and we should encourage collective bargaining. Because, Andy, it’s the private sector that’s out of whack, not the public sector. Private sector workers should make a reasonable wage, be represented by a union and have meaningful pensions. Why do you let the top 1%, the private sector money hoarders, off? How can they completely escape your wrath? You’re cracking down on jaywalking while people are being mugged and beaten. Let’s just lay off the public sector for a while and let Port Moody councillors have their raises.

TRI-CITY leTTeRs SAVE BIG! ‘Disgusted’ at Price’s ‘attack’
The Editor, Re. “The Bateman strategy: Kill TransLink & reg. vision” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, Sept. 6). I’m disgusted at Gordon Price’s attack on Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Somehow, Price figures it’s wrong to PRICE call out TransLink on its terrible history of mismanagement. Price’s opinion, that taxpayers should blindly agree to TransLink’s never-ending quest for more funding, is not surprising from a former politician and social pundit who has probably never had to make a difficult budget choice. I applaud Mr. Bateman’s defence of us, the beleaguered taxpayers. Rest assured, Mr. Price, if there is indeed a “none of the above” option in the future referendum on transportation funding, that will be my choice. Trevor Edwards, Coquitlam
Coun. owes apology
The Editor, Somebody has to say something. At Tuesday n i g h t ’ s Po r t Moody committee of the whole GLUMAC CLAY meeting, Coun. Rick Glumac called Mayor Clay“cowardly.” Coun. Glumac’s comment was way out of line. Port Moody deserves better. He should publicly apologize to the mayor without delay and without qualification. For those who weren’t at the meeting, Mayor Clay was a gentleman and did not rise to Coun. Glumac’s petty grandstanding. Personally, I don’t know how the mayor carried himself with such restraint. H. David Gray, Langley Executive VP, Flavelle Sawmill Co.
Some Brunette traffic relief, please The Editor, So you are sitting in your car or truck or on one of the five bus routes that travel Brunette southbound in Coquitlam. As you count down the seconds on the red light at the north end of the overpass, you realize you have to wait 90 seconds for a green light when the light turns red while the
Highway 1 westbound off-ramp traffic only has to wait 30 seconds. You look around and realize you are not alone. The two lanes are bumper to bumper and tempers are as hot as the summer sun. To add to your anger is the fact you’ve sat there, inching along for 20 minutes, to wait at that traffic
light for 90 seconds while no traffic comes up and off the highway. Or worse and more frustrating, you are trying to go east on Lougheed but can’t because the intersection is filled and blocked. Fear not, weary and angry commuter, I’m told the engineers at the Ministry of Highways are on the case. They are
studying the situation and we should all be cruising along at normal speed within six months from now, if they are done studying. Earth to engineers: Change the timing of the damn light to give equal respect to the southbound Brunette traffic. Problem solved. J. Wainwright, Coquitlam

That amounts to over 14 million individual containers annually. In fact, if you were to place them all side-by-side, they would cover over 1,500 km—the direct distance from Vancouver to the BC/Yukon border. While plastic jug recycling has seen a modest increase, polycoat container recycling has enjoyed substantial growth over last year— roughly a 15% increase according to the most recent data. While this steady rise in these numbers is an encouraging sign, too many milk cartons in BC are still fi nding their way to the trash. Thus, the task of raising awareness continues.

Drones tested by SAR team

WE’RE IT!
By Jason Roessle The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam Search and Rescue (SAR) is hoping to get a few more eyes in the sky. The local volunteer organization is exploring using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones or UAV) in some of its incidents and put the technology to the test on a recent Saturday. “It’s just in the investigative phase,” said Coquitlam SAR manager Michael Coyle. He said some teams might opt to purchase their own UAV but in Coquitlam’s case, there is a Vancouver company, North Guardian, that has the units and trained pilots. Two types of UAV are available: a quad-copter and fixed-wing. The helicopter can run about 15 minutes before needing to refuel while the plane can go for nearly an hour. The biggest benefit of the vehicles, in addition to their ability to cover

North Guardian brought two of their unmanned drones out on Saturday to show Coquitlam SAR the potential benefits.

ameter while the fixed wing has a 1,500 mm wingspan, and is nearly one metre long. They can all be run on autopilot, programmed to fly a certain pattern and return to base on their own.

Based on operational needs, the aircraft can be outfitted with other devices, such as forward looking infrared cameras, said North Guardian coowner Paul Baur.

Thanksgiving food drive aims Boil water advisory to collect 400,000 lb this year issued for Anmore By Chris Bryan Black Press
store treated water in sanitary containers and keep in fridge The village of Anmore is under a boil water advisory after elevated levels of total coliform were found during sampling. A notice issued Tuesday said no e.coli bacteria was found. Total coliforms are bacteria that naturally occur in the environment and can be found in feces, soil and vegetation, and their presence in drinking water does not necessarily represent an immediate health concern, stated the notice. The municipality is now flushing the distribution system and further sampling will be done. Some tips from the village:
WHAT TO DO
• Do not drink the water without boiling first. • Only use boiled

Elevated levels of total coliform were recently found in the village of Anmore’s water supply. A boil water advisory is currently in effect. or bottled water for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing readyto-eat foods, washing dishes or making infant formula. • Avoid bathing young children in a bathtub; use a handheld shower where possible. • Boil water for one minute (rolling boil) and let it cool before using. • Store treated water in sanitary containers
and keep refrigerated
OTHER WAys
• Chlorine: household bleach (5%): Add two drops per litre and let stand for 30 minutes; if the water is cloudy, add four drops per litre. • Iodine/chlorine tablets: see manufacturers’ directions. • Most household water filters (such as Brita) will not remove microbial contaminants.
It is perhaps one of the simplest food drives you could imagine. B e t we e n M o n d ay and Wednesday this week (Sept. 16-18), the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive will drop off flyers and donation bags at homes along routes throughout the Tri-Cities. The flyer will indicate the collection day, which is Saturday, Sept. 21. Then all you have to do is fill the bag with a donation of non-perishable food items and place it on your doorstep before 9:30 a.m. on the designated day. This B.C. food drive was inspired by a similar event in Calgary that started in 1997 when Jeffrey Jacob set out to rally his friends and fellow church congregants in taking on the challenge of fighting hunger in his neighbourhood. The method was straightforward and very effective: they asked their neighbours to leave food donations on their doorsteps on a designated day, then gathered them up and de-

The project expanded over the years, and in 2008 Calgary’s drive set a world record, collecting more than $1,000,000 in support for the hungry in a single day. The B.C. drive picked up on Jacob’s great idea and brought it to this province in 2009, when the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive (BCTFD) began as a local effort by members of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in Burnaby. Now in its fifth year, the project includes dozens of partner organizations and food banks serving some 50 cities throughout British Columbia. The BCTFD is non-denominational and open to all interested individuals, community groups, religious organizations, businesses or others who wish to help attend to the needs of the hungry.

Lynch runs for council A former Coquitlam city councillor is running again. Barrie Lynch announced yesterday that he will seek one of the two vacant council seats in the Oct. 26 byelection to replace Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson. He was on council from 2002 to 2011 and ran unsuccessfully for the LYNCH mayor’s job against Richard Stewart, losing by 2,500 votes. Lynch is a former BC Ambulance paramedic and Coquitlam RCMP auxiliary constable. He is now employed as the chief operating officer of a supply chain management association. “I want to ensure that the growth Coquitlam is experiencing is balanced with the delivery of the services the community needs while preserving the jewels of the city like the Riverview lands,” Lynch said in a press release.

Historical Highlights
In 1968, Moody High school was in the headlines for a successful rebellion. A group of girls, having had enough with the antiquated attitude that it was unladylike for women to wear blue jeans to school, put on their denim and staged a sit-in. A few days later an announcement rang through Moody High informing girls that blue jeans were now acceptable attire. Sponsored by the

A proud PoCo rallied to support Terry Fox YOUR HISTORY Bryan Ness
I
n this column published in July, I related the story of a determined and driven young man named Terry Fox, who grew up in Port Coquitlam.There have been many articles, books and features already written to tell the story of Terry’s epic journey during that spring and summer of 1980. What I want to do in this sequel is recount what occurred here in Port Coquitlam during those times. We saw how sports and athletics were always a big part of Terry’s life. Elaine Cramer, his coach from the local PoCo Pacers track and field club in 1971, remembered how he excelled in the sprints, high jump and shot put. It was about the same time that Bob McGill, Terry’s Grade 8, 9 and 10 Science and PE teacher at Mary Hill junior high (now Pitt River middle school) encouraged him to try out for other sports besides basketball. With Terry’s typical perseverance and determination, by Grade 10 he had become the basketball team’s co-captain, prompting coach McGill to later say: “Terry was
Above, a page in the Coquitlam Herald on March 18, 1980. Left, a display at Terry Fox secondary school that quotes an article from The Tri-City News.
just one of those students who never gave up.” When Terry was learning how to run on his prosthetic leg after his operation, it was McGill who spent countless hours on the track at Hastings junior secondary (now Maple Creek
middle) helping him. Terry’s life was forever changed after being diagnosed with malignant osteogenic sarcoma in his right leg in March 1977 and subsequently having his limb amputated above the knee.The months of chemotherapy treatments
at the B.C. Cancer Clinic inVancouver, and the suffering of the patients there, especially the young children, made Terry determined to do something, anything to help beat cancer. Never one to back down from a challenge
or adversity,Terry was determined to run across Canada to raise awareness and money for cancer research. By Christmas 1979, he had trained for 101 days straight, running between 15 and 25 miles daily, preparing for his crosscountry trek. A dance was held in the Mabbett Room at the PoCo rec centre early in 1980 that raised $2,500 to help with expenses for the run. The Terry Fox Marathon of Hope Run began April 12, 1980 at St. John’s, N.L., without much fanfare in the local newspapers. I found this a little odd until I realized two things: First,
hindsight being what it is, I doubt if many of us who didn’t know Terry then knew just how large his achievement would grow to become. Second, in today’s instant-media world, we forget how life was before cellphones and the internet. As Terry’s crosscountry run gathered momentum, local businessman DougVater helped organize the Terry Fox Hotline to accept donations locally, and some may recall the large map of Canada tracing the progress of the run set up at Westwood Mall. A Coquitlam restaurant even invited athletes
from the local high schools, SFU, UBC and the BC Lions to raise money by participating in a spaghetti-eating contest — using only chopsticks. Local children and youth were getting into the fundraising, too, including a young Greg Moore, son of Terry’s PoCo high soccer coach Bruce Moore. The young man who go on to become mayor, along with his friends, collected money in their neighbourhood for the CTV Telethon held in September, shortly after Terry had to end his run outside of Thunder Bay. By the end of October 1980, PoCo residents, businesses and organizations had raised over $160,000 for Terry’s cause. Sunday, Sept. 15 marks the 33rd annual Terry Fox Hometown Run here in PoCo .Terry stated back in 1980, “Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.” And continue it will, until the day we can say we live in a cancer-free world.

See why 2 of Jane's patients believe in acupuncture: • P. Chew, 88 years old was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up & sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily. • 51-year-old Kelly felt body pain especially on the neck, shoulder, waist and back every day and night over the past few years. She tried everything and finally came to Acupuncture by a TCM doctor and Acupuncturist Dr. Wang who used TCM technique and Acupuncture to help her and relieve her pain. Now she is free from the pain and misery and became a happy and healthy person.

Seniors’ program needs visitors Community Volunteer Services for Seniors (CVSS) is an outreach program offering support to isolated seniors in the TriCities area through its visiting, grocery and telephone re-assurance programs. And it needs your help. CVSS is looking for 25 volunteers (age 40 years or older, five men and 20 women) to visit Tri-City seniors who are isolated and lonely. These seniors are interesting people who would enjoy sharing their stories and hobbies with a friendly visitor. Women are matched with women, and men with men. Below are descriptions of a few of seniors who are waiting to share one and a half to two hours a week with a volunteer visitor who shares similar interests: • an 85-year-old woman in Port Coquitlam would like a volunteer visitor to talk with and perhaps enjoy going out for walks together; • an 86-year-old man who loves to play Scrabble and enjoys keeping up with current events would like a gentleman to visit with him; • an 82-year-old woman who has lived in Sri Lanka and Britain would like a visitor who shares her love of cooking. CVSS’ next volunteer orientation will be held Sept. 24 at Wilson Centre, 2150 Wilson Ave., Port Coquitlam; the registration deadline is Sept. 17. For more information and to register, call Sue or Suzanne at 604927-7919.
best of Port Moody business, and the city is asking residents to nominate a local company that’s showcasing technology, celebrating the arts or excelling in customer service. Besides highlighting great work in the community, nominators
also have a chance to win an iPad. “Through the Spike Awards, we get to hear about businesses that really stand out in our community” said Coun. Rosemary Small, chair of PoMo’s economic development committee.
“Last year, we had over 250 nominations. If you know of a company who’s really made a difference, now’s the time to recognize them.” Two new categories have been added to this year’s awards — employer of choice and best
home based business. Residents have until Sept. 27 to make their nominations by going to www.portmoody.ca. As well, Port Moody is in search of a Oneminute Pitch champion. “We’re giving anyone one minute and one
PowerPoint slide to sell us on their best business idea at our Oct. 24 award ceremony,” said Mayor Mike Clay. Th o s e i n t e r e s t e d in pitching their business idea can email spikeawards@portmoody.ca or call 604-469-
4540 to sign up. The winner will get a six-month pass to the Port Moody recreation complex. The nominees for the eighth annual Spike Business Awards will be recognized at a gala event at city hall on Oct. 24.

Now, he is taking off his writing hat and embracing the role of salesman as he promotes his work in the community, after 2,000 copies of Burke and Widgeon: A Hiker’s Guide arrived last month. “It’s exciting and its overwhelming,� he said. “We are just going to take it one step at time.� He is selling the book through his website (www.burkeandwidgeon.com) and is in discussions with several local realtors who may offer them as gifts to new home buyers in northeast Coquitlam.

TRI-CITY SPOTLIGHT: Aiding here and abroad HELPING OUT
For Port Coquitlam master warrant officer Ron Leblanc (top, right), making a difference in Afghanistan was more than serving for the second time in this wartorn country. On Aug. 27, he and his mentors delivered a variety of childcare supplies to the Afghan National Police Academy’s daycare centre. The daycare allows for female Afghans to take part in police training. It was easy for Leblanc to enlist support from his home unit, the British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught’s’ Own) located in Vancouver. “Once I determined what aid they needed I sent a simple email back home requesting help and I got over $2,000 dollars from my parent unit,” said Leblanc.“I arranged to have Pampers, female hygiene products, kids clothing, playground equipment and of course toys purchased.”

PARTY TIME
Hundreds attended the Klahanie Community Block Party recently, which organizers have called a grand success. Port Moody firefighters brought Judd House, which attracted curious visitors while local singers and musicians, Sean and Joyelle set up to entertain the ballooning crowd. Dozens of bicycles festooned in the latest decor wheeled along the closed street in a parade, and not to be outdone, more than 20 primped dogs strutted their stuff while competing for Klahanie Canine Trophies while handcrafted boats formed an armada in the Klahanie swimming pool. Col. Moody introduced the Cancan girls for a ‘yesteryear’ extravaganza just before local chef, Josh, served almost 200 dishes of local sausages, potatoes and corn.

New tween book club at Port Moody library Club is for kids in Grades 6 to 8 Middle school kids in the Tri-Cities now have their own book club at Port Moody Public
Library, a great chance to meet other people who love reading as much as they do. Children in Grades 6 to 8 can have fun as they learn to explore the characters in the books
they read and take a more in-depth look at the time period and setting of each story. Club members will read two books during each sixweek session and do fun activities related to the
stories, take part in scavenger hunts and maybe even learn some library secrets. Book club members will also become more confident speaking and expressing their
thoughts in a group setting. And since clubbers will be going to the library straight from school, book club always begins with a snack. The Tween Book Club
will meet on alternate Tuesdays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the ParkLane Room from Sept. 17 to Nov. 25. Space is limited. You can register in person at the library information

t’s hard to believe September is here. For some, it is a welcome relief, a return to routine and normalcy. For other (mostly students), it is an unwelcome return to routine. No matter which camp you fall into, September is a magnificent month. I love the cooler mornings. It’s a great time to do a bit of baking and fill the freezer with goodies for lunches. Actually, September is a great month to put up a lot of food. Fruits and vegetables can be frozen or canned, or even dried, for long-term storage. We drink a lot of smoothies in our house and I just love reaching into the freezer for my fruit, knowing that it is fresh and local. While I do keep bags of individual fruit in the deep freeze, I also keep small bags of mixed fruits at the ready. Pop them into the blender with some plain greek yogurt and fruit juice and you have a healthy, lowersugar snack — perfect for breakfast. Prepping fruit for the freezer couldn’t be easier. Blueberries need a rinse, then spread them on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, pour them into zipper lock bags and they are good to go. Strawberries can be

The most important thing to get right when home-canning fruits and vegetables, writes columnist Karen Curtis, is the seals on the jars.
Make zucchini into tasty chocolate bread: see recipe, next page frozen whole or cut up. And, yes, strawberries are still available. Many farms grow everbearing strawberries, which can produce fruit right up until October. Peaches require a quick blanch. Bring a pot of water to a boil, pop in peaches a few at a time, let them sit for a minute or so, then remove them with a slotted spoon.The skins will
slide right off.Then you can slice and freeze them, again on a cookie sheet. Although the freezer is my favourite way to preserve food, canning and drying are excellent options, too. Many people find the prospect of canning to be daunting but it is easy and doesn’t even require fancy equipment.

Drying food is another option CULTURE continued from page 32
A pot big enough to hold three or four jars fully submerged in water is really all you need. The most important thing to get right is the seal on the jars. As long as the jars are sealed, you are good to go. When you take the jars out of the water, if the lid is firm, the seal is good. If there is movement in the lid, then enjoy your product right away, it will still keep in the fridge. Drying food is another good way to preserve
the bounty of the season. Again, no fancy equipment is needed, just an oven. Thinly sliced apples, pears, peaches, tomatoes, zucchini can all be dried in an oven. Time is all that is needed here. Place a single layer of your choice of fruit or veg on a parchmentlined cookie sheet and place in a 200 F oven. Check them after 45 minutes or so, turn them over and bake another 45 minutes. By keeping watch, you can control whether you have a crispy or chewy
What to do with that plentiful zucchini? Here is a recipe for chocolate zucchini bread that my mum used to make. She would butter a slice for me and put it in my lunch. This loaf actually improves after freezing.
CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD 3 cups white flour 6 tbsp cocoa 2 cups sugar 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1 ½ tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda
Sift above dry ingredients together and set aside.
3 eggs 2 cups sugar 1 c canola oil 1 tsp vanilla 2 cups grated zucchini

DOES YOUR BATHROOM NEED A FACELIFT?
Griffin Renovations has been serving the Tri-City area for over 25 years. Bringing years of experience with him, Randy Griffin excels at all types of bathroom renovations. His specialty is the installation of custom formed & fitted bathwalls. A single sheet of laminate is custom contoured to the exact measurement of your wall and tub. A bead of silicone around the tub and outer edges, along with vinyl capping provides a waterproof seal, guaranteed against leaks. The result is a low maintenance tub enclosure that with just a wipe keeps sparkling clean. These walls are available in a wide variety of colours and GRIFFIN RENOVATIONS patterns and are very CUSTOM FORMED BATH WALLS & low maintenance.

B.C. caregivers speak out for World Alzheimer’s Month B.C. caregivers contribute 33M hours of care
S
eptember is World Alzheimer’s Month and the Alzheimer Society of BC will introduce British Columbians to four caregivers. More than 70,000 British Columbians are living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, but the disease also impacts thousands of caregivers and family members who contribute tens of millions of hours of informal care annually. “In 2008, B.C. caregivers provided an estimated 33.1 million hours of informal care — a number that could triple by 2038 if we do not build a long-term dementia strategy,”the Alzheimer Society’s interim CEO Larry Okotinsky said in a press release. Over 36 million people worldwide live with dementia and the society will drive support for those impacted by the disease in B.C. throughout September with its Journey of Caring social media campaign. Support those impacted by Alzheimer’s disease by visiting www.facebook.com/AlzheimerBC and donating your Facebook profile picture this month. Follow the Society on social media to share caregiver stories and help policy makers understand why a longterm dementia strategy is needed in B.C. The Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s important work helps people with dementia, their families
CPP & Old Age SeCurity
You can join a Citizen Services Specialist from Service Canada next week in Port Coquitlam to discover the many benefits available under the Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security programs. Visitors to Terry Fox Library on Monday, Sept. 16 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. will hear about survivor/ death benefits, canada pension disability benefits, guaranteed income supplement, allowance and allowance for the survivor. They will also learn about eligibility, when to apply, how to access, required documentation and who to contact for help. For more information, call 604-927-7999. Terry Fox Library is located at 2470 Mary Hill Rd. in PoCo. and caregivers through education, programs like First Link and Minds in Motion, advocacy, the Alzheimer Society Research Program and support groups. Meet some of the caregivers who give generously of their time to help the Society confront the dementia crisis: • Volunteer support group facilitator Carolyn Herbert “You do not have to solve everybody’s problems,”says Herbert. “I try and emphasize to everyone that ‘this is your group and you are supporting each other.’” Victoria resident Herbert has been a longtime volunteer facilitator for the Society’s support groups, after caring for three of her own family members living with dementia. Support groups give caregivers a place to share effective coping strategies with people experiencing similar challenges. • Coffee Break host Joan Mayzes Mayzes was the primary caregiver for
her late husband Ken on his journey with dementia. The 82-year-old hosts a Coffee Break every September in her Nanaimo home. “I make a little party out of it,”she says. Coffee Break is a nationwide series of community gatherings that raise awareness and much-needed funds for local programs and services. These coffee breaks are hosted in homes, with friends and neighbours, at work or in the community. Hosts receive donations while serving coffee. • Advocate Patrick Tham “Minds in Motion, I think, has been amazing for the family. I’ve seen the change in Mom and Dad, in their ability to come out of their shells in a safe environment,” says Vancouver’s Patrick Tham. Minds in Motion is a fitness and social program that assists people experiencing early stage memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. The
Society is also proud to offer First Link — an early intervention service that connects individuals and families affected by dementia with services and support as soon as possible after diagnosis. • Anything for Alzheimer’s fundraiser Deirdre Penk O’Donnell Anything for Alzheimer’s Fundraiser Penk O’Donnell of West Vancouver attended a society support group while caring for both of her parents during their dementia journeys. When she shared her story, she saw“a crazy amount of compassion on everyone’s faces.” Penk O’Donnell says she instantly“stopped feeling alone and inadequate.” Grateful for the help she received, Penk O’Donnell found a way to give back through Anything for Alzheimer’s, with an event at the Penk O’Donnell School of Irish Dance. Penk O’Donnell is in good company, as Who’s Line is it Anyway? comedian Colin Mochrie is asking British Columbians to do Anything for Alzheimer’s this World Alzheimer’s Month. And IDSwest, Homes and Living Magazine, Alair Homes and Modern 604 will present a cuttingedge laneway home that will be auctioned on World Alzheimer’s Day (Sept. 21). All net proceeds will go to the Alzheimer Society of B.C. See idswest.com/ laneway for details. To volunteer with, fundraise for or become an advocate with the Alzheimer Society, visit www.alzheimerbc.org.
Plan your future Advance care planning helps you have a
say about the health care you would like to receive if you get very sick and cannot speak for yourself. A free presentation on advance care plan-
ning will be presented at Coquitlam’s Glen Pine Pavilion by Fraser Health on Monday, Sept. 16 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. For information, call 604-927-6945.

Waterside living in Yaletown with Pacific Point By Kerry Vital
Yaletown is one of Vancouver’s most popular and vibrant neighbourhoods, with some of the best shopping, dining and recreation in the city. Now Bosa Development is staking its claim in the area with Pacific Point, a former rental building that Nat Bosa purchased and turned into luxury condominiums. “Buyers know they are going to get quality and Nat Bosa’s
value assurance backing the project,” says Lisa Murrell, sales and marketing manager for Bosa Development. Every suite has been completely renovated, with new appliances, new decor and new plumbing. “It’s rare that Nat Bosa puts his name to something,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects. “This is one of those rare opportunities. This is the first thing that has caught his eye in a long time ... he fell in love with the location.” There are 214 condos in the building, ranging from 450
to 1,680 square feet. The kitchens feature a quartz-slab backsplash, polished quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by undercabinet task lighting, a contemporary undermount sink and imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, which also appears in the bathrooms. Laminate wood flooring is included throughout most of the CONTINUED INSIDE

There is no shortage of things to do in Vancouver, from shopping on Robson Street, above, or Main Street, bottom right, cycling on the Stanley Park SeaWall, top right, or going for a swim in the pool at Kitsilano Beach, middle right.
Vancouver tops for living and playing By Kerry Vital
Vancouver was recently voted as one of the top three most livable cities in the world, and it’s not hard to see why. With tons of amazing restaurants, gorgeous scenery, plenty of opportunities for shopping and beautiful homes, Vancouver truly has everything you can possibly imagine. One of Vancouver’s most well-known landmarks is Stanley Park, the 400-hectare park that recently celebrated its 125th birthday and has been designated a national historic site. With it’s nearly nine kilometres
of SeaWall, several beaches and acres upon acres of green space, Stanley Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. It also holds several dining spots, the Vancouver Aquarium, Malkin Bowl, a pitch-and-putt golf course, a pool and a water spray park, among other attractions. If indoor pursuits are more your forte, you’ll find plenty to love in Vancouver with its array of arts and cultural opportunities. From the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to the Vancouver Art Gallery to the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology, you’ll find plenty of options for whatever you’re in the mood for. Sports fans aren’t left out either with the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena or the B.C. Lions or Vancouver Whitecaps at B.C. Place. Perhaps some fine dining is on the menu; a wish that Vancouver has no problem fulfilling. Picking a great restaurant can be as easy as choosing a neighbourhood and taking a walk around. You may find your new favourite dining spot completely by accident.
Speaking of neighbourhoods, each one has its own style. Kitsilano, with its trendy shops, dining and the famous Kits Beach, is a haven for healthy living. Among the homes here is Kits360, a condominium development that gives residents access to every amenity that Kits has to offer along with gorgeous homes. If sophisticated living is what you crave, you’ll find the perfect home at Bosa Development’s Pacific Point in Yaletown. Pacific Point has gorgeous views of False Creek and downtown Vancouver, making it a spectacular place to live if you want to take advantage of the vibrant lifestyle in the neighbourhood. When you need a bit of retail therapy, you’ll find plenty of places to exercise your credit card. From Granville Island with its eclectic mix of independent shops and the Public Market to the trendy South Granville area to Robson Street and its mix of high-end and budget shops, including the brand-new Canadian flagship Victoria’s Secret store, there are a variety of options for any taste.

Panthers set to roar into new season By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
RobeRt McDonalD photo
Juliana Mannella of Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC challenges Teagan McManus of Mountain United FC for the ball in U18 girls soccer action at Coquitlam Town Centre.
T h e Po r t M o o d y Pa n t h e r s d e f i n i t e l y won’t be caught unprepared when they take to the ice Saturday night to host the Mission City Outlaws to open their Pacific Junior Hockey League season. “We’ve played 11 exhibition games which is definitely a lot more than anybody else,” said Panthers head coach and GM Jamie Jackson. “Eleven games is a quarter of our season so we have a pretty good understanding of what we’re going to bring. We’ll definitely have a very fast-paced game on the ice.” The Panthers wrapped up their gruelling exhibition season over the weekend, falling 6-1 to the Abbotsford Pilots on Saturday before blanki n g t h e G ra n dv i ew Steelers 4-0 Sunday. “[Abbotsford is] a pretty strong group and it definitely helped some of our younger guys adjust to the level we’re going to see,” said Jackson. “Against Grandview, we definitely got some outstanding goaltending
that really gave us a chance to get the win.” Alex Orth faced more than 40 shots in the win and he will make up the Panthers goaltending tandem along with Brenden Sharp. “We did get Sharp back from the Surrey Eagles so the two of them will share the cage until someone emerges.” Jackson expects the Panthers to use a quick t ra n s i t i o n g a m e t o take advantage of the smaller ice surface in Port Moody. “We’re going to get the puck into our forwards’ hands as soon as we can,” he said. “We will be getting the puck deep as much as we can to take advantage of some of the size we have on the wing. We really have to control the puck down low and on the walls and get good possession time for us to be an effective hockey team.” Jackson anticipates scoring will be balanced throughout the lineup although he’s hoping Brendin Logan and Wolfgang Schoenefuhs can emerge as scoring leaders. see CaTS, page 51
Mayors show their colours for game The mayors of both Coquitlam and New Westminster are wearing their love for their h o m e t ow n f o o t b a l l teams on their sleeves. Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart and his New Westminster counterpart Wayne Wright, both former players, are temporarily stepping away from the political arena and back on to
the gridiron to support their high school football teams. Wright challenged Stewart to a friendly wager on the outcome o f t o d ay ’ s a n n u a l Hyacks Homecoming Game, when the New West varsity squad will square off against the Centennial Centaurs. The mayor whose team loses the game
has to wear the winner’s jersey at their next council meeting. Both mayors will be at Mercer Stadium cheering their squads on. They even agreed to model their football fashion in advance. In fact, both seem reluctant to take their team colours off. “Maybe we should suit up for the game in
case they need a play brought in from the sidelines,” said Stewart. Taking things a step further, Stewart has rounded up Centaur jerseys for all of New Westminster’s councillors. So Wright may have to wrangle up a few more Hyacks colours for Coquitlam. “It’s going to be wonderful seeing the black
and orange at their meeting,” said Wright. The kickoff for the Sept. 13 homecoming game is set for 7:30 p.m. at Mercer Stadium, with a pre-game and postgame celebration that will feature fireworks both on and off the field, skydivers, a prize car and a pre-game flag football challenge for alumni.

FEMALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
COQUITLAM METRO-FORD RENEGADES
COQUITLAM METRO-FORD BLACK ICE
REGAN TREBISH
This past weekend, the Under 16 Metro-Ford Renegades dropped a heart-breaking 3-2 decision to the visiting North Delta United in a game played at Charles Best School. Injuries to several key defensive players meant that midfielder REGAN TREBISH had to move to a defensive role, to shore up the backline. Regan made several key interceptions during the first half to lead his team to a 2-0 lead. Fatigue took its toll on the short-handed Metro-Ford team and North Delta bounced back and scored 3 second half goals to claim the victory. Late in the game, Regan was moved to a forward position in an attempt to score the equalizer. Not only did he create several goalscoring opportunities, but almost scored the tying goal himself, missing the net by mere inches. For his brilliant performance this past weekend REGAN TREBISH has been named Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week!
ASIA MANN
This past week-end, the Under 17 Metro-Ford Black Ice got off to a great seasonal start by defeating Cliff Avenue United by a 2-0 margin. Leading the way for Metro-Ford was forward ASIA MANN who scored a brilliant goal late in the first half and set up teammate Mattea McRae for the insurance marker midway through the second half. On the first goal, Asia dribbled by a Cliff Avenue defender before unleashing an unstoppable shot into the back of the net from the edge of the penalty area. On the second goal, Asia broke through on a breakaway and unselfishly squared the ball to Mattea McRae, whose subsequent shot secured the victory for the Black Ice. For her excellent performance this past weekend, ASIA MANN has been named Coquitlam Metro-Ford female player of the week.

Running down a dream Brother’s battle with cancer inspires former PoCo resident to tackle half-marathon By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
It was a family tragedy that started Courtenay Sorge running. Three years later her love of family just won’t let her stop. Sorge will be heading to San Francisco on Oct. 20 to take part in the Nike Women’s Marathon. It will be the fourth time she has run a half-marathon at the event that serves as a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. Sorge got involved with the run and the Team in Training program that supports the cause not long after her brother Cory Hunter was diagnosed with leukemia. Unfortunately,
the 31-year-old Port Coquitlam man died before he could see her complete the run. “The first year I did it he passed away two weeks before the run, so it was hard but at the same time it was like closure,” said Sorge, who grew up in Port Coquitlam but now lives in Langley. She said her whole family now accompanies her to San Francisco for the run, and are able to watch as Hunter’s face appears on the bigscreen monitor with others who served to inspire the runners. “It’s definitely my way of keeping his memory alive. And our family is there, remembering. That’s why it’s hard not to do it,”she said. While Sorge had always been athletic, playing soccer and other sports, she had never run competitively before. She now heads out on a group run with other Team in Training members every Saturday, run-
ning by herself during the week. “But it’s tough to find time now that I’m a new mom as well,” said Sorge of her one-year-old son. “He’s named after my brother actually, Kayden Cory.” And besides finding time to train for the run while taking care of her son, Sorge is also actively working to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. “The fundraising is getting harder every year. The first year I raised $11,000 but it gets harder every year because you’re asking the same people year after year,” said Sorge, who has raised more than $27,000 since her first run and hopes to make it to $30,000 by October. “Every year I say I’m not going to do it again but it’s so inspiring once you’re down there that I end up signing up again.” To help Sorge’s fundraising efforts, visit http:// tinyurl.com/runnike2013.

“ Th e a d d i t i o n o f [Daniel] Delbianco has definitely created offence from the back end and Jordan Wharrie is very offensive on the back end as well so we’re expecting him to contribute.” Wharrie just returned to the Panthers from the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League. The 16-year-old Port Moody product was the Silvertips’ fifth-
round pick, 98th overall, in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft. Wharrie is one of eight rookies who will be joining a Panthers team that struggled through a 6-36-2 season last year. “It was definitely difficult. We just made so many changes … the personalities in the room I wasn’t comfortable with. We had to get some guys in there that I felt that we could coach and we could plan for
[down the road],” said Jackson, who realized by Christmas that the playoffs were slipping out of reach. “It was a hard experience for some guys and the guys coming back now know how hard this league can be.” The puck drops on the Panthers’ season at 7:45 p.m. Saturday in the Port Moody Arena, with the team heading to Burnaby Sunday to take on the Steelers. sports@tricitynews.com
