City buys a piece of history in Booth Farm By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A place where Coquitlam pioneers gathered after church for Sunday picnics will be saved by the city as part of its push to preserve heritage homes and buildings.
On Wednesday, Mayor Richard Stewart announced the municipality had bought Booth Farm on Brunette Avenue for $590,000 — plus an adjoining vacant lot for $510,000 — with the aim to re-create the community spirit that once prevailed on the property.
Built in 1901, Booth Farm is either the oldest or second oldest home in Coquitlam. According to the city’s heritage inventory narrative, a home on nearby Marathon Court (known as the Brehaut House) was built in either 1898 or 1909. Booth Farm was built
with lumber from Fraser Mills in Maillardville, which at the turn of the last century was the biggest sawmill in the British Commonwealth. The property is named after the original owner, Ralph Booth, the area’s reeve from 1904 to 1908. Stewart, who grew up
three blocks from Booth Farm, said at a news conference Wednesday he could imagine the pioneering families such as the Boileaus, Parés, Seguins and Marcaux — his mother’s ancestors — enjoying the activities on the dairy farm. With the recent ac-
quisition of Booth Farm — a two-storey, 2,300 sq. ft. home — the city now owns three heritage assets, including Ryan House and Mackin House, both located beside Place des Arts and built in 1908 and 1913 respectively. All three homes are listed as of
“primary” value in the city’s heritage inventory. Now, the city will undertake a detailed analysis of the property for its long-term use, Stewart said, adding, “I look forward to the next chapter of Booth Farm.” see FARM, page A3
Cold-weather shelters open today 150 volunteers take part each month By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Homeless people looking for a warm place to sleep during the winter months will be able to turn to a handful of churches for a bed as the bridge shelter program
launches this weekend. Starting today (Nov. 1), Coquitlam’s Cavalry Baptist church will open its doors to those in need, providing them with a mat to sleep on and a meal to eat. The Regan Avenue facility will operate the shelter until Nov. 30, after which Coquitlam Alliance church will take over for a month. “Everyone has really
come together to make this happen,” said Andrea Coorigan, a volunteer coordinator with Hope for Freedom Society, which runs the shelter program. “The churches usually get about 150 volunteers a month. That doesn’t include the number of people who are helping with co-ordinating meals and lunches and clothing.” Getting a shelter pro-
gram together for fall/ winter 2013/’14 was not guaranteed. Port C o q u i t l a m ’ s G ra c e Church hosted a semipermanent shelter last year but council voted to turn down a temporary use permit in the summer after complaints from area residents. Some people in the neighbourhood told a public hearing that the shelter attracted loi-
tering and drug use in the area, claims disputed by Hope for Freedom director Rob Thiessen. Council’s decision left the society scrambling to organize a shelter program that would rotate between a handful of churches, similar to the old cold/wet weather mat program. see BUSES, page A3

Under the current arrangement, shelter users will be bused in and out of the various locations, which is meant to eliminate loitering issues. Despite the lastminute efforts, Corrigan told The Tri-City News that organizing this year’s shelter program has gone relatively smoothly. Some of the churches that will be used in the early months of the program already have temporary use permits in place and she said she is confident that other churches will get organized as the months go by. “While we haven’t necessarily worked out all the details, we are confident that a solution will evolve over the course of the program,”she said. Each shelter has a capacity of 30 beds and only men and women 19 years of age or older are eligible. There is no provision for pets, although storage for personal possessions is available. Shelter users will be picked up at various locations by calling 604-830-1528. The shelter operates between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. between Nov. 1 and March 31. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Farm important part of city history: Hodge continued from front page
He also singled out Coun. Craig Hodge for his efforts in preserving Booth Farm. The chair of the city’s Maillardville Commercial and Cultural Revitalization Advisory Committee, Hodge said it has been his dream to have Booth Farm in the public’s hands. Hodge said he envisions the property hosting community gardens and day camps, for example, and being the site of a future trailhead to the nearby BC Hydro corridor. “This property played an important part in our history,” said Hodge, adding he hopes Booth Farm will be ready in time for Coquitlam’s 125th birthday celebrations in 2016. Still, he said the property has its challenges as the structure — formerly owned by the late Rosaleen Morgan — is more than a century old and located on a busy, narrow street. The city first mentioned its plans to buy the Booth Farm i n Ju n e wh e n t h e d r a f t M a i l l a rdv i l l e Neighbourhood Plan was presented before council-in-committee.

Second-degree murder trial to start Nov. 18 By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
A jury has been selected and a trial date has been set for a 42-year-old Coquitlam
woman charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of Peter Markus more than three years ago. Markus’ body was found inside a trailer at
the Wildwood Mobile Park on Cayer Street, just off Brunette Avenue at around 11 a.m. on Jan. 4. Daigle was taken into custody 18 days later. Investigators have
said the victim and suspect knew each other and that the matter was being treated as a domestic-related homicide. A person who lived at the trailer park told

A Port Moody man is facing charges after police arrested him allegedly fleeing the scene of a break and enter on Texada Street on Monday afternoon. I nve s t i g a t o r s r e sponded to a break-in in progress and believe the suspect ransacked part of the house and attempted to flee when officers surrounded the area. He scaled a fence and got into a neighbouring yard, with the foot pursuit eventually coming to an end a short distance from the crime scene. “When the complainant noticed someone was trying to break into the house, he called 911 immediately and provided us with the suspect’s description and location,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “The information allowed our dispatcher and officers to coordinate a timely response and have the suspect in custody.” Matthew James Wang, 27, is charged with break and enter, possession of stolen property, possession of break-in instruments and breach of recognizance. He was expected to appear in Port Coquitlam provincial court yesterday.

Open house to discuss moorage in our harbour
The Burrard Inlet is federal property controlled by Port Metro Vancouver. For many years the City and Port Metro Vancouver have been dealing with abandoned vessels, transient liveaboards, and sunken vessels along our shoreline. In addition to being aesthetically displeasing, these unauthorized vessels can cause navigational concerns, environmental damage, and conflicts with recreational activities. Together with Port Metro Vancouver, the City is proposing a new strategy to provide fair, equitable and safe access to the inlet by way of a designated anchorage area. If you use Port Moody’s harbour for business or pleasure, or you enjoy the beautiful inlet views, we’d love to hear what you think about the proposed plan! Find out what the issues are and then share your thoughts at an open house: When: Monday, November 4, 2013 Time: 7 to 9pm Where: Old Orchard Hall, 646 Bentley Road If you can’t attend the open house, you can still tell us what you think.

Massive church in Dominion aims to be a community centre Church will have 1,150-seat theatre and banquet hall By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A church on Port Coquitlam’s north side will look more like a community centre than a place of worship and is expected to be an important facility for residents moving to homes in the Dominion Triangle. With a full-size gymnasium, a 1,150-seat theatre and 10,000 sq. ft. banquet facility complete with professional kitchen, the new Riverside Community Church is expected to be larger than PoCo’s Hyde Creek recreation centre. “When you think of the construction of a church... you think of a very formal place,”

Left, the site of the planned Riverside Community Church in Port Coquitlam’s Dominion Triangle. Right, Terry Janzen, a Riverside pastor, at the unveiling of plans last Friday. said David Ehrhardt, a Riverside parishioner who leads the church’s building committee. “The agenda we were given by leadership was to come up with a community facility.” While the building houses a 220-seat chapel, there is more than enough room for other activities besides worship.
The facility will have a large recreation component featuring a full-size gymnasium and workout area with seats allocated for spectators. There will also be a 20-seat cafe and book store that will operate throughout the week. “We hope that this gymnasium is a place where people in the community feel comfortable to come in and par-
ticipate,” Ehrhardt said. Opportunities for dinner theatre and large theatrical events will also be available in the building’s 750-seat theatre, which has the capacity for 300 additional seats in an upper balcony. There will also be an orchestra pit and a full-size kitchen. An outdoor amphitheatre will be used for watching movies and

for other events. As well, the facility will house a daycare centre capable of handling 125 children and a youth activity centre will be located on the site. Te r r y Ja n z e n , a Riverside pastor, said the new facility will work to connect the neighbourhood and bring new members into the fold. “People start to see the church as irrelevant,” he said. “We have really had to think about how to make our church accessible to the community.” gmckenna@tricitynews.

Coq. eyes Thermenex for City Centre facilities By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam is turning away from a FortisBC plan for centralized heating and cooling around the city hall precinct in favour of a cheaper system already in use in the municipality. This week, city staff said the FortisBC proposal for a district energy system at Four Corners at Guildford and Pinetree ways was too expensive and didn’t provide enough return for taxpayers. Instead, city staff are looking at Thermenex for the civic campus, a system that has been working since 2009 when the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex was rebuilt. District energy aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels by recapturing alternative sources. With Thermenex (an acronym for Thermal Energy Exchange), city staff say Coquitlam would cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 500 tonnes (8%) and lower power costs by $115,000 a year (26%) for the life of four buildings.
tri-city newS file photo
The Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex has used the Thermenex system since 2009. At Monday’s councilin-committee meeting, city engineer Ian Radnidge said the proposed Thermenex system would service city hall, the police station, Evergreen Cultural Centre and City Centre Aquatic Complex; the estimated cost for the design and installation is around $3.5 million — money the city would recover over 23 years in energy savings. City council has already allocated $3.2 million for the project and Radnidge said the city would apply for grants from outside sources, should the program proceed. By comparison, the FortisBC system (based on geothermal exchange) would have cost $4.9 mil-
lion and would have resulted in a 21% ($92,000) hike in annual heating of the four buildings. Radnidge said an engineering design for Thermenex in City Centre is set to start next month with construction slated for April 2014. An employee currently maintaining the Poirier system would be used for the civic campus as well, he said. Coun. Terry O’Neill said there are a lot of unknowns about how the Thermenex system would pay off — financially and environmentally. “We are throwing pennies into a wishing well,” he said at the committee meeting. But Coun. Brent Asmundson said the city
has to take a leadership role. “The good thing is we know the Thermenex system is proven,” he said, adding, “I think overall this is the right direction for the city to go in.” Coun. Lou Sekora countered new technology energy systems are on the horizon and Thermenex may be obsolete in a few years. Mayor Richard Stewart agreed, saying innovations frequently come up but Thermenex’s results at Poirier have been “better than we predicted.” Invented by B.C. engineer Jeff Weston, Thermenex is a waterfilled pipe with hot and cold ends, using refrigeration technology to create the thermal gradient. The technology works through a system of reclaiming energy. Besides the Poirier complex, it is also used at the UBC earth sciences building, Langara Building C and LSU, UBC brain research centre, Richmond city hall annex and the University of the Fraser Valley student union centre.

Coquitlam Current Your City Column
Change of Seasons As we turn our clocks back and the fall season is in full swing, prepare for the wetter and darker months ahead to keep safe. Smoke alarms save lives! As you reset your clocks, check the batteries in your smoke alarms.
Pedestrian Safety - Be Bright, Be Safe, Be Seen The fall and winter have darker evenings earlier, and road visiblity is reduced. Take responsibility for your safety and make sure you can be seen by drivers.
Wear light-coloured clothes. Place reflective tape on outerwear. Stay on lit sidewalks. Cross at lit intersections. Follow safe crossing practices even at signalized intersections. Make eye contact with drivers so you’re sure they see you. Also remember not to jaywalk - drivers aren’t necessarily looking for pedestrians away from crosswalks as they are focusing on the road and other drivers.
Be Prepared for High Winds Cut down dead branches and dead trees on your property. Secure objects that might blow away in a storm, including garbage cans and lawn furniture. Be watchful of trees that have fallen. Never touch hanging power lines. Prepare an emergency plan and kit so you are ready in the case of a storm, other emergency, or power outage.
Clean Catch Basins to Prevent Flooding Periodically check catch basins or drains near your home or building and clear away debris such as fallen leaves (if it is safe and convenient to do so). This will help rainwater drain quickly and easily and minimize the risk of flooding. Report any of the following immediately to 604-927-3500: *suspicious substance leaking into any catch basin, * catch basin grate missing or ajar, *plugged catch basins. Remember to recycle your Jack-o’-lanterns and other leftover food scraps in your Green Can this Halloween.

on’t expect U.S.-style convenience for buying booze in B.C. grocery stores anytime soon. At the most, grocery stores may offer limited selections in a “store within a store” with separate staff and checkouts, according to John Yap, who has just completed a three-month consultation on B.C.’s liquor laws. Although many people would like the convenience of buying a bottle of wine with their loaf of bread and block of cheese, others worry such a massive change would destabilize the current system — i.e., affect jobs at government liquor stores and possibly hurt the business of private wine and beer stores. As well, police and doctors fear it could cause more alcohol abuse. The Canadian compromise is this store-within-a-store idea. Ontario is piloting something similar while Nova Scotia has government liquor stores in grocery stores. It’s hard to believe that Americans — who were once champions of prohibition — can manage their booze when Canadians can’t. Yap’s proposal, however, is a partial solution that is unlikely to satisfy anyone so we might as well just leave things the way they are.

Metro Van politicians raise to the occasion AS I SEE IT Frank Bucholtz
M
unicipal politicians are so out of touch with the people who pay their bills, they blithely take pay raises each year. They do it by rote — without even thinking. The latest to take dollars out of taxpayers’ pockets are the already well-paid directors of Metro Vancouver. As most of these people are Lower Mainland mayors, they are already at the top of the local government salary food chain. They are well-compensated in their own municipalities and each of them also gets a decent stipend for being part of the TransLink Mayors’ Council. The latest Metro pay increase is a modest (for these people) 2.3% for 2013, retroactive to the beginning of the year. It means politicians get $354 for every Metro board or committee meeting they attend — and if the meeting runs more than four hours, they receive double that.
One wonders how often politicians in the fourth hour of a meeting look at their watches and are tempted to talk just a little longer on a specific topic. The meeting fees that Metro politicians receive has jumped 40% in five years — from $253 per meeting in 2008. Since that time, of course, there has been a worldwide recession. The Lower Mainland economy is still soft and a large number of the people who pay taxes to all levels of government have not received any raises. If they have, few of them have seen a 40% pay increase since 2008. Metro Vancouver chair Greg Moore, who is also mayor of Port Coquitlam, has no problem justifying the latest pay increase. “Those are the rules that we live in,”he said. “We’ve tried to do it as fairly and transparently as we can and this is what we’ve come up with.” It isn’t just the Metro board that is so out of touch. When the issue of a pay raise came up in White Rock recently, council members were

“Councils are constantly comparing themselves to those in other cities... and then raise their pay, justifying doing so by saying the other guy is doing it.

Instead of tying their increases to council salaries in three smaller cities — Port Moody, Langley City and Pitt Meadows (two of which are slightly larger than White Rock) — they voted to add to the median three larger cities: Port Coquitlam, North Vancouver City and West Vancouver. This is a typical move, one that Metro itself follows. Councils are constantly comparing
themselves to those in other cities — usually looking for those that hand out larger increases — and then raise their pay, justifying doing so by saying the other guy is doing it. Metro itself sets the pay for meetings based on the median rate of pay for mayors in the region. So it is one big, vicious circle. Mayors’ salaries are based on other mayors’ salaries; Metro salaries are based on mayors’ salaries; and cities base their ongoing and constant pay raises on decisions made in other communities. Local politicians should lose all power to give themselves raises. It’s easy to say that voters can get rid of them if they are offended by the raises but until more people start paying attention and actually voting, that is not likely to happen. Perhaps the provincial government needs to regulate the salaries paid to local politicians and set a maximum amount based on the size of the community.
Frank Bucholtz is the editor of The Langley Times, a sister newspaper of The Tri-City News.

Keep candy and kids’ freedom A
nd a happy Halloween Boxing Day to you too, Andy. The kids have barely finished sorting and resorting their swag and you already want to take it all away from them — to bag Halloween, their big day, the one day of the year when the focus is entirely on kids. Kids own Halloween. It’s their rite of passage. Planning the costume; negotiating the widest possible boundaries with the minimum possible supervision. We have all grown through Halloween and, even as adults, we remember our Halloween experiences as landmarks of our youth, like our early crushes and learning to ride a bike. Halloween is an organized, outdoor activity that gives kids a few golden hours each year to safely approach neighbours, to feel esteemed by people other than their parents, to be valued by the community — even if Mom or Dad is at the foot of the driveway. Sure, they get candy, but they also get friendly appreciation of costume and cuteness from all kinds of people who are usually strangers to them. It broadens their neighbourhood horizon. Halloween is a good evening to be a kid — we need more of this, not less.
Sure, Walmart makes millions selling schlocky Halloween costumes. And yes, too many tweener girls join the competition to come up with the sluttiest costume. Admittedly, the candy kids bring home on Halloween is spectacularly unhealthy but they are only one cobblestone on the road to obesity and diabetes; and this annual chocolate bar overdose can, with nuanced parenting, help kids appreciate its evil. Besides,“all hallows eve”has respectable Christian roots, reaching far beyond the burning of Guy Fawkes at the stake or the pagan and wiccan rites that we seem so eager to invoke as the origin of Halloween. But who cares about all that stuff ? Some things are sacred: kids’ games, dog day afternoons, the PNE, building forts and Halloween. It should be our duty as adults to offer children as many opportunities to grow in safe places outside the home as we can. Like walking to school and unsupervised play, that’s what Halloween gives kids. So don’t even try to take the goblin, jack-o’-lantern and wonder of Halloween away from our children. And leave Saturday morning cartoons alone, too.

Time to talk coal The Editor, As a resident of Port Coquitlam I feel I have not been adequately informed regarding the proposed transport of thermal coal from Wyoming via Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, through White Rock, Surrey, Delta and other areas of the Lower Mainland. A major handling and exporting facility, Westshore Terminals, located at Roberts Bank in Delta, has plans to expand a second terminal, which would connect to its existing one. There is another coal transfer facility terminal planned that would be located on the Fraser River (Fraser Surrey Docks).The expansion of the coal via trains will have negative effects on health and the environment. Trains that transport coal are longer and heavier than regular trains. Longer trains mean there are more delays for emergency vehicle

Keep trash trucks off busy streets during rush The Editor, A version of this letter was sent to the city of Coquitlam: When I drove west on Como Lake Road between Blue Mountain and Robinson streets in the fog on Oct. 22, at about 7:30 a.m., traffic was very congested, basically
down to one lane because a Coquitlam collection vehicle (recycling? garbage?) was using the right lane. This was especially dangerous because of the fog. I travelled the same route at the same time one week later, on Oct. 29, and noticed the truck had the same schedule.
Two issues prompted me to contact the city: • the Oct. 22 fatal crash in the fog on Highway 1 in Langley, in which an SUV slammed into a construction vehicle; • and the fact the 156 bus travels this section of Como Lake at the same time — we have two ve-
hicles that stop and block one lane during high-volume flow. Could the collection vehicle be rescheduled to a lower-volume time frame for busy streets? This action would improve safety for all people travelling in the area. Ron Woo, Coquitlam

City, port team up to tackle derelict boats Open house on Monday to hear from residents By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
The future of Port Moody’s harbour will be the subject of an open house next week. The city and Port Metro Vancouver, which is responsible for the harbour, are proposing a

new strategy it says will provide fair, equitable and safe access to the inlet by way of a designated anchorage area. “We have long-standing concerns with abandoned or derelict boats in the harbour, especially anything that might have environmental impacts,” Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay told The Tri-City News. He points to liveaboards that might be discharging sewage into
Burrard Inlet or abandoned vessels that could be blown onto the rocks, spilling oil and gas. “And we’ve had concerns from a number of neighbours that think the growing number of boats — I think we’re at 40 boats now — is an eyesore,”Clay said. The proposal from the port is to establish an area where moorage would be allowed and have the city manage the site and keep track of

That proposal could eventually be used as a template for other areas with similar problems, such as Deep Cove and Bowen Island. The city is now look-

to get in touch with all those residents on the north shore to make sure that if their boats are out there, what they expect.

Business and community leaders on Wednesday heard about the importance of education and bridging the gap between unemployed youth and jobs during the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce nominees luncheon for the Business Excellence Awards. Calling on businesses to partner with Douglas College to create practicums, Hazel Postma said the community benefits when businesses put a hand out to students. “We absolutely need the support of the business community to give our students opportunities,” said Postma, the college’s associate vicepresident of external relations. With a looming skilled trades shortage, Postma said it’s important for Douglas to educate the next generation of skilled workers, including nurses and social workers, who will be in high demand over the next decade. Douglas is also developing a strategic plan that will deal with issues such as a gender gap at
MLA bucks A six-month snapshot of MLA pay and expenses was made public this week, including costs incurred by the Tri-Cities’ four provincial representatives. According to the disclosures for April 1 to Sept. 30, Port Coquitlam NDP MLA and finance critic Mike Farnworth was paid the base income of $51,069 plus $2,372 in additional salaries for his parliamentary roles while CoquitlamBurke Mountain BC Liberal MLA Doug Horne, the deputy speaker, earned the base rate plus $9,474 in additional wages. Former Coquitlam city councillors Linda Reimer, who was elected in May as the BC Liberal MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam and is the parliamentary secretary for local government, collected $39,069 in salary plus $4,730 in additional pay while NDP MLA for Coquitlam-Maillardville Selina Robinson, the opposition’s local government critic, did not receive any extra remuneration other than her base salary of $39,069. As for living expenses in Victoria (including per diem payments for food and incidentals) and travel to the provincial capital, the four politicians claimed for the six-month period: Farnworth, $13,712; Horne, $17,884; Reimer, $6,225; and Robinson, $9,579; The semi-annual disclosures fulfill a promise made by the legislative assembly management committee earlier this year. jwarren@tricitynews.com
the college, where 70% of the students at the degree-granting institution are female. “Men are sitting on the sidelines,”she said. The college is hoping to bridge that gap by developing short-term applied-skill programs that will appeal to men and lead directly to jobs. Postma was representing Scott McAlpine, Douglas College’s president, who was ill and unable to make the annual Business Excellence Awards nominees luncheon, during which dozens of local businesses and community organizations are recognized for their contributions to the community. During the luncheon at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club in Coquitlam, the chamber announced 38 nominees in five categories. The finalists will be announced Feb. 1, 2014, at the annual chamber gala at the Red Robinson Show Theatre, where the winners will be honoured. • For a full list of nominees, go to tricitieschamber.com and click on Business Excellence Awards, under Events.

Bus drivers won’t push riders to pay Compass cards have union wary of assault risks By Jeff Nagel BlaCk Press
Unionized bus drivers say they won’t be pressured into helping enforce fare payment by passengers when new Compass smart cards roll out next year. TransLink had asked drivers to “actively interact” with passengers to inform them about how to pay and that they could face fare evasion fines if they refuse. But Nathan Woods, president of the union representing drivers, says the proposed training program would have put drivers in the “precarious position” of being at greater risk of assault due to conflict with fare evaders. “We’re not going to stop them,” he said. “The passengers don’t want fights on their bus and neither do we.” Woods said drivers will still answer passengers’ questions about fare payment and “meet and greet” as usual, but they won’t apply any new pressure to comply. It’s up to Transit Police and Coast Mountain Bus security staff to patrol for fare evaders, he said. The launch of the Compass card system in the new year will bring challenges for bus drivers. Under the new system, people who pay cash will no longer get a valid transfer to SkyTrain. Woods predicted more passengers will then refuse to pay as they board buses to avoid being double charged — or to at least claim that’s what they’re doing. “I think fewer people are going to pay cash fares on the bus and they’re simply going to walk by us and say, ‘I’m paying at the SkyTrain.’” Bus drivers can push a button to record when

Cleanup reveals our dirty ways
The bus drivers’ union says its members won’t “actively interact” with passengers to inform them about paying with the new Compass card. someone boards without paying. If a pattern is detected of a fare evader boarding at the same place consistently, Transit Police could respond. Despite the attention fare evasion gets, Woods said he doesn’t think it’s a large problem on buses now and fare gates should reduce the problem on SkyTrain. “On the buses, there are going to be people who are going to scam the system either way,” he added. One expected scam is where people board a bus and soon tap out with their card at the back door so they pay one zone but ride further for free. Woods noted only a small number of bus routes actually cross a zone boundary so it won’t be a big issue. The main concern for the union remains attacks on bus drivers. There have been 115 assaults so far this year, up more than 10% from a year ago. Driver assaults include acts like spitting, verbal threats and splashing drinks. Woods suggested assaults may be up because TransLink efforts to wring more revenue out of the bus system are leading to more overcrowding and more passups by full buses, frustrating passengers.
GET YOUR VEHICLE READY FOR WINTER NOW!
And he predicts that statistic would worsen if drivers took a more confrontational stance. TransLink spokesperson Derek Zabel said drivers are expected to observe as passengers tap in with their cards and assist those who have difficulty. He said the request to the union was mainly to have drivers provide “options from a customer service perspective” while also reminding riders non-payment is punishable by a fine.

More than 100 volunteers — including Emily Tombs and Joseph Patterson (above) — filled numerous bags with trash and collected approximately 2 km worth of casings from stripped copper wiring as part of the annual Coquitlam River Cleanup on the weekend. Event organizer Garry Elgear (left), owner of Riverside Fly and Tackle, told The Tri-City News that more and more people seem to be throwing their garbage in the greenbelt along the river each year. Some notable items, he said, include oil cans, computer chairs, bags of dog feces and a double baby carriage. “It’s frustrating,” he said. “Some people had to really lug some stuff to get it down there.” He estimates enough garbage has been collected over the 13 years the cleanup has taken place to fill nearby Town Centre Park in Coquitlam.

Question
Rounding up and riding the RAM range
OF THE WEEK:
2014 RAM Roundup
What is it that appeals to you about the car?
The full-size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them. For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advancements. I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Roundup” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships. Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. Front and centre is a grille that was enlarged, but better integrated, for the 2013 model year. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. This feature is one RAM owners love so, in this case, larger
is better. Behind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The same idea was also behind the longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks. One option that I find fascinating, and would seriously consider, is the $1500 air suspension that can be lowered for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. Plus this system automatically lowers over 100km/h to also reduce aerodynamic drag. At lower speeds and for off-road duties, the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. Having had a chance to drive several RAM trucks with this feature I notice the already smooth ride is even better and the cabin is further insulated from vibration. Inside In the past trucks were typically used for work. Today, trucks have grown in popularity because they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants. Having driven the Ford and new GM trucks recently, I can easily say that RAM still has the lead in interior design and finish with the Chevrolet and GMC right behind. (Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large
7-inch screen behind the steering wheel for fully customizable instant information readouts. The dash and seats can be trimmed in leather typically found in luxury cars not long ago.

If I have to brake jerkily in anticipation of the other driver’s move, I don’t deduct any points!” However, if you hold up traffic or disrupt the flow then you deduct points. If you can let somebody in smoothly or provide an opportunity for somebody else to turn then you’re assisting the

I keep it simple and figure if I drop four points then that was nowhere near the Perfect Drive.” I love his final comment: “Oh, and if you drop a point halfway through, you don’t give up and drive the rest of the way like a jerk.” Give it a try, it’s fun. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca twitter.com/ChangeGears

Considerate drivers would realize their error and drive on. What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

A new – and improved – water act? gREEN ScENE Elaine Golds
SPEAK UP ON WATER
B.C. residents have until Nov. 15 to submit comments to livingwatersmart@gov.bc.ca. I encourage all those who care about aquatic habitat in B.C. to participate in what could be the last opportunity to comment on a new Water Sustainability Act for B.C. Go to engage.gov. bc.ca/watersustainabilityact.
B.C. has chance to do some good
O
n Oct. 18, Environment Minister May Polak announced a fourweek window for B.C. residents to comment on a proposed new Water Sustainability Act (full information is available at engage.gov.bc.ca/ watersustainabilityact), which is intended to be introduced at the 2014 spring session of the legislature. Modernization of our Water Act, first enacted in 1909, is certainly long overdue. In 2010, a series of well-attended regional workshops were held across the province following which more than 2,000 written submissions were received by the government. Given all this interest and consultation, we have every right to expect a first-class Water Sustainability Act. But now that I have read the recently posted overview of the government’s intentions, I fear we may have been overly
The overview of B.C.’s new Water Sustainability Act is available for viewing and feedback online. optimistic about the outcome. In its own words, the government intends to “protect stream health and aquatic environments; consider water in land use decisions; regulate and protect ground water; regulate water use during times of scarcity; improve security, water use efficiency and conservation; measure and report large-scale water use and provide for a range of governance approaches.” All of this sounds quite wonderful but, as the saying goes, the devil
lies in the details — or in several instances in the overview, the lack of detail. For example, it is proposed the new Water Sustainability Act would ensure“environmental flow needs are considered in new decisions on water allocation except in very low-risk situations.”But no details are provided regarding how“environmental flow needs”would be defined and measured, or what would qualify as a low-risk situation. Nor is it adequate for a decision-maker to simply
“consider”such needs. The public needs assurance that environmental needs such as protecting aquatic ecosystems will be met before water withdrawals for other purposes are allowed. Meeting“environmental flow needs”(whatever this means) should also require information to be gathered to define these needs and monitoring of the water withdrawals to ensure that the agreedupon environmental values do not become threatened over time. Biologists have already developed a somewhat controversial methodology to determine the minimum requirement needs of salmon in streams. These are called “in-stream flow requirements”and have become the basis on which are permitted water removals from long stretches of rivers for the purpose of electricity generation. Currently, as much as
95% of the mean annual discharge of a stream is allowed to be diverted, which means that only 5% is left in the stream to meet the needs of salmon. Many people feel water in these rivers has been allocated in an overly generous fashion to meet the needs of industry. If this is what the province has in mind for“environmental flow needs,” then I am worried. For as long as water use licences have been granted by the province, they have been allocated on what is called a firstin-time, first-in-rights (FIT-FIR) basis. This means someone who received a water licence in, say, 1954 always has precedence over someone given a water licence at a later time. I had hoped that a new Water Sustainability Act would propose a more sensible scheme to allocate water on meaning-
ful values rather than historical precedence. Instead, it is proposed in the government overview the FIT-FIR allocations will continue, for the most part, because they are easy to understand. I am disappointed — surely water should be allocated on a basis that recognizes need and societal benefits of the use intended. Last year, under devastating revisions to the federal Fisheries Act, Ottawa removed the ability of its decision-makers to protect fish habitat. But there is an opportunity under the Water Sustainability Act to ensure habitat protection for salmon in B.C. Section 9 of the existing act contains provisions to protect habitat and these could be strengthened in the new Sustainability Act so that we can be assured that fish habitat protection will continue. Another way this act could more effectively protect fish habitat would be to specifically prohibit the dumping of mining wastes into aquatic ecosystems — which is now allowed under the weakened federal Fisheries Act. Other provinces have wisely prohibited such
dumping; the province of B.C. should follow suit, although the overview is oddly silent on the issue of such dumping of mining waste although other types of dumping (animal and human waste, pesticides and fertilizer) are mentioned. Further, the provincial government is proposing water licences will be renewable (and reviewable) on a 30-year frequency, or 40 years for electricity generation. Given the speed at which climate change is happening and the risk that some streams could suffer from much reduced water flows, it’s likely more frequent reviews will be needed to provide assurances that environmental flow needs will continue to be met. For most people, water is one of our most precious resources. It is crucial this new act respects the wishes of the people of B.C. and contains legislation that will provide wise guidance for the future.

Trivia for tunes at Fox How much do you know and are you ready to claim trivia supremacy? For more than 20 years, Terry Fox secondary school’s music department has been hosting its annual trivia night to raise funds for band programs and this year is no exception. On Nov. 16, 40 teams of eight trivia buffs each will compete for
prizes and top honours. The idea is for eight friends or colleagues to each purchase a $20 ticket, reserve a table and test their knowledge. More than 300 adults are expected to attend the event, which will feature eight rounds of challenging questions. Prizes will be awarded to the top five trivia teams and groups with
the best costumes and team name will also win prizes. In addition, there will be door prizes, a silent auction and raffles with gift certificates for fine dining and casual eateries, and local businesses, as well as gift baskets and other items donated from the community. Snacks and desserts will be served. Non-alcoholic
refreshments will be available for purchase. Funds raised will help the team pay for a trip to New York during spring break. Tickets are $20 and those who don’t have a full table will be matched with other interested players. Tickets won’t be sold at the door. For tickets, call Colleen at 604-8029231.
Dementia details
  You can visit Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Library next Wednesday and receive information on dementia and the impact it has on the individual and their supporters. You will have an opportunity to learn about the diagnosis, programs and services, and strategies for living well. This session is presented by the Alzheimer Society of BC on Nov. 6, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Registration is appreciated; call 604-927-7999.

Nutrition has role in cancer care Guest Column
N
utrition largely remains a powerful yet untapped resource in cancer therapeutics. Under the care of a physician who is current with information and qualified, anyone dealing with cancer can learn how to implement effective dietary and nutritional strategies to improve their current state of health, enhance treatment outcomes, prevent recurrence and mitigate disease-related impact on quality of life. Despite the robust evidence for the role of nutrition in cancer care, individual nutritional needs are either overlooked in the conventional health care setting. Some cancer specialists advise patients that nutrition doesn’t matter and nutritional supplements will compromise chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Such opinion is counter to the evidence and misleading to patients, often due to the advisor’s limited knowledge and understanding about nutrition in cancer and their own unsubstantiated blanket viewpoint that all nutrients negatively interact with chemotherapy and radiation. In medicine, viewing health and disease through a narrow lens ultimately affects patient outcomes. Advice to avoid nutritional strategies in cancer care is contrary to evidence informing us that, independent of the type of treatment strategy, the quality of pre-treatment nutrition is one of the only methods that sustains significant impact on patient outcomes three months or longer post-treatment. In my practice, I interface with oncologists daily who vary in their position on naturopathic and nutritional care in cancer. Some advise patients to engage in intravenous vitamin C therapy while others fear even the nutrients in healthy food may interact with their chemotherapy or radiation. Recently, there is a greater trend toward oncologists modernizing their viewpoint on nutrition in cancer care and embracing an integrative approach with other health care practitioners. It should be stated that while there are definite considerations for food or nutrient interactions with drug, radiotherapy or surgical interventions, there is also a vast
Your smartphone can help you quit smoking The BC Lung Association QuitNow program has gone mobile, delivering free quit smoking support into the palm of your hand day or night. “We’re all becoming increasingly reliant on our mobile phones,”said Jack Boomer, QuitNow director for the BC Lung Association, in a press release.“So it follows, if our role is to be there for British Columbians struggling to quit, we need to be easily accessible through any mobile device. “Now, all of our quit smoking tools, contests and support services can be easily navigated through your smartphone or iPad as well as your desktop computer.” If a quitting plan is what you need, QuitNow offers a step-by-step quit guide that identifies smoking triggers and coping tips. It also has an interactive tool to help you determine how much money you’ve saved by not buying cigarettes and how long you’ve been smoke free. If motivation is what you’re after, you can sign up for the text messaging support service, participate in a monthly quit and win contest (tobaccofreetuesdays.com) or join the Facebook community, where 8,000-plus members share tips and celebrate quit milestones day and night. And if what works best for you is one-on-one advice, you can call a quitting coach toll-free (1-877-455-2233) or get expert advice online through QuitNow’s live chat service. amount of science and research that guides naturopathic doctors specializing in cancer care in the dietary, nutritional and other supportive therapies we recommend
to patients. Let’s use an analogy in nature to illustrate the dynamic between disease, cancer treatments and nutrition. Would you expect to revive a with-
ered plant embedded in unhealthy soil? The soil is the terrain that provides nourishment for the plant so, the healthier the soil, the stronger the plant and the better it responds to water and sunlight. If the soil were stripped and suddenly exposed to the harsh elements (such as a hurricane or drought), how would you expect it to survive if it wasn’t strong and vital to begin with? Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are often part of the treatment regimens most will endure as part of their cancer care. These are forces that demand great physical and emotional strength to overcome. While cancer is obviously far more complex than the plant-soilenvironment analogy, it serves as an important reminder for us to observe and appreciate the fundamental laws of nature. If we neglect the simple pieces of the equation, it can spell a formula for disaster. Good sense informs us that if we are strong, vital and healthy when faced with major physical or emotional stressors, the less damage will ensue, the easier the recovery and the greater the likelihood health will emerge

victorious in the battle against disease. If chemotherapy and radiation represent the ammunition, nutrition is the body’s armour that protects against the opposition. Both are needed to win the battle. Taking an informed, sensible and whole-person approach to cancer treatment and long-term prevention defines the fundamentals of a modernized evidencebased medical model in integrative cancer care. Nutrition is one of the foundational elements in health and longevity. A physician-directed individualized nutritional strategy not only offers protection against disease, it also serves to enhance other therapies used in cancer treatment and prevention.

Classic West Coast architecture at Amacon’s RedBrick By Kerry Vital
Outdoor enthusiasts will find a lot to love at Amacon’s RedBrick, located in the growing community of Edmonds in South Burnaby. The Urban Trail is located right outside your door, and there’s a park across the street and others within easy walking distance.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Among the features included in the one-, two- and threebedroom homes is engineered hardwood flooring in the entry, kitchen, living and dining rooms. You’ll find polished stone countertops and a full-height stone backsplash in the kitchen, complemented by stainless-steel appliances and laminate flatpanel kitchen cabinetry with a modern square-edge profile. The bathrooms are soothing and luxurious, with polished stone slab countertops, oversized polished porcelain tiles and their own laminate cabinetry. The exterior is as beautiful as the interiors, with West Coast architecture that lives up to the
development’s name, expansive windows and balconies, and tons of green space. Residents will have access to an exercise facility, TV lounges and meeting rooms, a party kitchen with a dining area, a games room and a crafts room. There’s also a children’s play area and a barbecue terrace, if you’re in the mood for some outdoor entertaining. You’ll find public art by artists Jacqueline Metz and Nancy Chew right on-site, adding to the beauty of the development. RedBrick is perfectly situated for those who want to leave their cars behind. Commuting to downtown Vancouver will be simple, as the Edmonds SkyTrain station is nearby. You’ll find schools right across the street, as well as shopping and dining opportunities close by. Homes at RedBrick start at $239,900. For more information, check out www.liveatredbrick.com, call 604-527-7955 or visit the presentation centre at 7008 14th Avenue, Burnaby, open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.

An eclectic mix of people call Larco Investments’ Morgan Crossing home. Many of them have purchased because of the village lifestyle, with its array of shops, restaurants and amenities right outside your front door.
Finding your perfect home at Morgan Crossing By Kerry Vital
Imagine being able to meet friends for coffee, walk out your door and go grocery shopping or browse the latest fashions, or get in a good workout, all in one spot. You don’t need to imagine that with Larco Investments’ Morgan Crossing, located in the heart of South Surrey. It’s all right there. “There’s just about everything anybody needs here,” says Bryan Woolley of Fingerprint Strategies.

to transform your space with natural gas...
That’s not an exaggeration. The village at Morgan Crossing has shopping, restaurants, community events and amenities right outside your door, whether you’re looking for groceries at Thrifty Foods, a workout at Steve Nash Sports Club or dinner at the brand-new, just-opened Sammy J’s Grill & Bar or one of the other restaurants. “We also have two new restaurants coming soon,” says Woolley. “They’ll be great additions to the area.” One of those two restaurants is MyShanti from well-known Vancouver chef Vikram Vij. The other is Famoso Neopolitan Pizzeria. The homes at Morgan Crossing have been selling extremely well, and Woolley notes that this is the last chance to get into the village. “People love the village,” he says. “It’s really connecting with people.” Indeed, there’s a wide range of people living in Morgan Crossing, including young first-
time buyers and older couples downsizing from their single-family home. “Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to live here,” Woolley says. “The homes are really well-designed.” With spacious floorplans and plenty of amazing features such as engineered flooring, gorgeous countertops and an open-plan layout, buyers will easily find things to love about their new home. Morgan Crossing regularly holds community events, including car shows, fashion shows and outdoor movie nights. Living a car-free lifestyle is a huge draw for buyers at Morgan Crossing. Being able to leave the car behind and accomplish all of your errands on foot not only saves you money on gas, but it also saves you time and keeps your stress levels down. You also may find yourself entertaining at home more because everything you need for the perfect
party is right at your fingertips. Even an impromptu gathering is easy when you can just run downstairs to get what you need from one of the shops. If you do choose to venture out of the village, you’ll find golf courses, schools and leisure and recreation activities close by. Remaining homes start at $269,900 including GST. For more information, visit www.morgancrossing.ca, call 604-582-1336 or visit the presentation centre at #31415850 26th Avenue, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

First-place Chargers down Leopards The Coquitlam Chargers maintained their hold on first place with a 29-6 win over the Cloverdale Leopards Sunday at Mackin Park. Big runs from Martin Norman and Matt Shuen powered the Chargers to a 15-0 first quarter lead in the bantam division contest. The Coquitlam defence, led by Devon Paul, Rylan Smaaslet, Matt McAloney and Darrel Gelera, held the Leopards of the scoresheet for the first half. Cloverdale managed to get on the board in the third quarter but touchdowns from Norman and Shuen quickly silenced any hopes of a Leopard comeback. Bowen G ol d a l e racke d up some big gains to help the Chargers chew up the clock in a scoreless fourth quarter. The Chargers wrap up their regular season when they host the White Rock Titans at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Coquitlam Town Centre Park. The Coquitlam Wildcats couldn’t capi-

Tri-Cities earn high marks at Gymnastics BC awards By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
The Tri-Cities’ excellence in gymnastics shone through when Gymnastics BC honoured the province’s top athletes, coaches and volunteers at its annual awards banquet last weekend. Coaches Svetlana Lashina and Vladimir Latin at Omega Gymnastics in Coquitlam received the Gladys Hartley Provincial Stream Coaches of the Year award. “I can’t even come up with the words to de-
scribe what they do because they play such an integral part in the girls’ lives,” said club manager Chelsea Juckes. “The girls spend pretty much all their time outside of school hours here at the gym so they play a huge role in how the girls grow up.” She said while those involved with the club are well aware of the contributions of Latin and Lashina, it’s rewarding to see their efforts recognized by people outside of the club. Lashina and Latin were not the only club members to receive awards. Ilka Juk of
Vancouver was named provincial stream athlete of the year while Shallon Olsen of Surrey was awarded outstanding female athlete of the year. “They’re constantly just going, going, going. You never see them just sitting around in the gym,” said Juckes. Tamara O’Brien of Coquitlam and Kyle C a r r a g h e r o f Po r t Coquitlam were named the outstanding male and female Trampoline Gymnastics Athletes of the Year. It is O’Brien’s passion for the sport that sets her apart, accord-
ing to Barb Fraser, who coaches both athletes at TAG Sports Centre in Port Coquitlam. “Right from the beginning she was a dedicated artistic gymnast, training over 20 hours a week,” said Fraser. She said Carragher has amazing competition control. “It wasn’t always there, he learned that attribute,” said Fraser. “His dedication in training and his ability to perform in competition and not get stressed out in competition is definitely an asset.” Fra s e r a n d h e r daughter Krystal
were also singled out for their work, being named National Level Trampoline Gymnastics Coaches of the Year. “They’re always there for the kids,” said Leonna Wojcik, club registrar at TAG. “Barb’s like their second mom because they’re always here. She takes care of these kids and treats them like her own. The kids just love Barb and Krystal. They all love to be here, this is their home.” Coquitlam’s Vivien Symington of Club Aviva was awarded a member of distinction honour for her work
in using gymnastics to help children with special needs. Gymnastics BC notes that Symington is the leader in B.C. in using gymnastics for special needs children. Her E m p o we r i n g S t e p s M ove m e n t Th e ra py Program serves about 100 children annually, both with autism and other types of motor impairments. Preliminary research suggests that the program produces highly significant improvements in many key areas for children with disabilities. “Vivien is doing out-
standing work. We’re very pleased she has been given this honour,” said Nancy Beyer, women’s artistic head coach at Club Aviva. “She is a wonderful person to work with. She dedicates all of her life to the club and all the kids around here. She’s a ve ry r e m a r k a b l e woman.” Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’ s Haley deJong, who competes with Flicka Gymnastics out of North Vancouver, won the Sandra Hartley National Stream Athlete of the Year award. sports@tricitynews.com
COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SOCCER PLAYERS of the WEEK MALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
FEMALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
COQUITLAM METRO-FORD MADRID
COQUITLAM METRO-FORD KAOS
NATHAN AHN
CMFSC Under 15 Division 2 Madrid played a good game, despite the scoreline. The CMFSC boys dominated in terms of possession and played a good brand of soccer. They were unfortunate to fall victim to the long balls of Surrey FC resulting in breakaways that were converted into goals. The team showed solid work ethic and fight for the entire match. Nathan Ahn was our player of the game. He logged a full match in the center of the park, turning in his best performance of the season. His poise on the ball in the middle was instrumental in Madrid’s ability to counter and switch the play, and he distributed the ball masterfully for most of the match. Nathan was excellent on set pieces also. He had a number of well taken corner kicks that should have resulted in goals. And his terrific free kick into the SFC penalty area was perfectly placed on the head of Tyler McRae for the CMFSC first goal. For his great performance this past weekend NATHAN AHN has been named Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week!
MADYSON WEIR
This past weekend the Under 15 Coquitlam Metro-Ford Kaos played Richmond FC in Metro League action. Despite carrying the play in the 2nd half and creating multiple shots and scoring chances the Kaos were a little unlucky not to get a result. The team performed well and in particular Madyson Weir. Throughout the season Madyson has played a key role in either a central defense or midfield position. Madyson has consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and commitment to all her games, practice sessions and teams events. For her strong and consistent performances, leading by example and having a ‘team first’ attitude, MADYSON WEIR has been named Coquitlam Metro-Ford Female player of the week.

D-man proving to be quick study Gary Ahuja Black Press
Viktor Dombrovskiy had yet to play a BCHL regular season game and hadn’t even started his Grade 11 year.Yet he had earned himself a scholarship offer to one of the most prestigious postsecondary schools:Yale. And while some junior A hockey players might have waited to see if any other schools were interested, Dombrovskiy jumped at the chance. “It was the school that I wanted and the offer came, so I took it,” explained Dombrovskiy, who grew up in Coquitlam. The 17-year-old is also a defenceman for the Langley Rivermen. “The overall history of the school and the whole atmosphere there,” he explained about his decision to choose the Ivy League school. “I felt I fit in there both academically and on the hockey team so it was just a good choice for me.” And Dombrovskiy isn’t just smart in the classroom either as Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson raves about the blue-liner’s onice smarts as well. “He makes a good lead pass and knows when to pick his spots offensively,” the coach said. “And he is pretty good at finding seams and is just a heady player.” L a s t y e a r, Dombrovskiy was one of the rare players who played in the BCHL at age 16, many times against opponents five years older. “For him to be a regular at 16, as an undersized guy, speaks to his ability,”Henderson said. “I think back to his

Dombrovskiy is at the Canada West training camp in Calgary. first 10 games and he was in and out of the lineup. More than anything, it was just confidence and the consistency of playing a full 60-minute game.” Dombrovskiy admits that last season was all about adjusting to faster, bigger opponents. “I got used to the players and the calibre of hockey,” he said. And while he raised his own expectations heading into his sophomore BCHL season, Dombrovskiy said his game remains the same. In the 2012/13 campaign, he had three goals and 10 assists in 45 games. And through the first 16 games of this season, Dombrovskiy has put up four assists. While the numbers may not be eye-popping, his overall play did earn Dombrovskiy an invite to the training camp for the Canada West roster for the upcoming World Junior A Hockey
Challenge. The event runs Nov. 4 to Nov. 10 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The training camp took place in Calgary over the past week. The final team roster will then depart directly to Nova Scotia. “Definitely excited and looking forward to the great experience,” Dombrovskiy said last week, adding that earning an invitation was one of his goals for the season. “It is a good opportunity to have and I am definitely excited for the camp and the whole experience.” Regardless of whether he makes the team or not, Dombrovskiy is focused on his development. He is expected to join the Yale hockey team in 2015, which means he still has this season and all of next to hone his game in Langley. Dombrovskiy, who is 5’11” and 193 lb., has
worked hard in the gym to get bigger and stronger. He has put on about 25 pounds over the past two years. “Viktor has really worked to get stronger and wins his one-on-one battles down low now,” Henderson said. “He has gotten a lot stronger physically over the off-season and is learning what he can get away with, when can push and when he has to play a little more of a contain game.” And Henderson k n o w s t h a t Dombrovskiy’s game will only continue to develop. “He is really dedicated and driven,” the coach said.“He really is a dream to coach.” For Dombrovskiy, his success so far validates his decision to go the junior A route and join the Rivermen. He was an eighth round draft pick (156th overall) of the Swift Current Broncos in the 2011 Western Hockey League bantam draft. The Coquitlam native played in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with the Vancouver NE Chiefs before joining Langley. But while some may have been tempted to try their luck in the WHL, Dombrovskiy was always focused on the BCHL. “I have always had college aspirations,”he said. “I wanted to take advantage and get my schooling paid for. “Education is a big thing — if hockey doesn’t work out, you have a college degree to back you up when you need it.” Dombrovskiy plans on studying business or economics when he enrols atYale.
