Big bucks for school buildings By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
School District 43 is looking ahead at new schools and additions to accommodate growing numbers of students expected with development along the Evergreen Line and in northeast Coquitlam. This week, the district embarked on the second phase of its a community consultation on the future of four school properties and approved a five-year capital plan that hints at some of the pressures it is facing in dealing with its aging buildings as well as the need to construct new buildings or build addi-

Frank Giampa, SD43’s assistant secretary-treasurer, facilities and planning service, told trustees Tuesday that while the district is required to send its plan to Victoria, there is no certainty money will come for design and construction — and even if funding is approved, the district wouldn’t see it for three years. see ADDITIONS, page 15

CHRiSTMAS GiVinG: Share kicks off its campaign to collect and distribute donations
Space changes donation request By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Share Family and Community Services has launched its holiday fundraising drive in the hopes of ensuring that no one goes hungry and every child gets a gift this Christmas. Last year, the Tri-Citybased social service agency gave out more than 1,200 food hampers and distributed toys to more than 1,300 children — and this year numbers are expected to be the same, if not higher. In fact, Share is planning to hand out about 10% more Christmas hampers in order to meet the need, said CEO Martin Wyant. Letters have gone out asking people to give generously this year, with the money used to support programs that are not funded by the government, such as the food bank, the Christmas program as well as programs for isolated seniors, newcomers and troubled teens. “We hope that people want to give because the money will be well targeted,” Wyant said.
GiVinG, BY THE nuMBERS Last Christmas, 1,315 children received toys, 298 families were sponsored through the Caring Neighbour Program and 1,204 hampers were given out. This Christmas, share expects to hand out 1,400 food hampers. New this year is a request for gift cards and financial donations — instead of toys and other gifts — for the toy program because Share doesn’t have the space to store toys at its Riverview location. These gift cards will be distributed through the annual toy shop program now registering at locations in Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam (see sidebar), Wyant said. “We want to see if there’s support for this because to find warehouse space to store donated toys… it’s a tough situation to resolve,” he said, adding that it makes more financial sense for Share to put money directly towards
families instead of paying for storage for gifts. Still, Share will welcome toys this year for those who prefer to donate that way. How you can help to support Share this Christmas: • by making a financial donation; • by contributing food for the holiday hampers or a children’s gift or gift card for the toy shop; • or by hosting an event.

Moody middle school will become Moody Middle, School of the Arts — a school of choice with French immersion and fine arts streams — after the board of education approved the change at its meeting Tuesday. Soon to be replaced, the current Moody is one of the district’s largest middle schools. But the new version will be one of the smallest after about three-quarters of its 730-student population moves to the new Eagle Mountain middle school in September. According to School District 43 officials, Eagle Mountain — under construction in Anmore — will be overcapacity when it opens next fall but they believe the change in the older school’s mandate may encourage some families to stay behind and lure new ones from other areas. It’s a strategy board chair Melissa Hyndes expects will be successful until natural population growth along the Evergreen Line route in Port Moody fills up the school. “The fit is a good one for Moody middle being that [Port Moody is] the City of the Arts,” she said. “We’re hoping it will bring people from down the mountain.” The school already has a large number of students enrolled in fine arts activities such as choir, band, the school music program and EPIC (for elite athletes and performing arts students). Principal Nancy Bennett and vice-principal Trevor Kolkea said it makes sense to enhance the fine arts components and work them into the curriculum while adding French immersion, although some details need to be worked out, such as what the feeder schools will be. The school is already using a type of teaching style called inquirybased learning, where students do more individual work questioning and investigating topics of interest, and Bennett said plans are to work more of it into the program. As well, the school is looking at building more partnerships with dance and theatre organizations, encouraging students to develop portfolios, perform for the public in theatres and even at a school coffee house. Explorations will continue to offer food arts, technical arts and stage craft, but other study

Yuri Kang, a Moody middle student, works on an art project. Moody will become a school of choice with a fine arts focus and a French immersion stream next year. areas include dance, drama, media arts, music, visual arts, digital arts and film. Staffing and timetable details still have to be worked out, Kolkea said, and the school’s parent advisory council and staff were expected to be informed of the change by the end of the week, although most respondents to a survey said they liked the idea. Still, it will be a big tear in the school’s cul-
tural fabric when more than 500 of the school’s 730 students leave next fall, along with some of the teachers. Bennett said T-shirts have been made to emphasize the importance of memories as many staff have been at the school for a long time. They will probably mourn the change more than many of the students, she said. The school has a reputation for spectacular spring musicals and
for being the province’s number one school fundraiser for the Terry Fox Foundation, raising $22,000 last year and $32,000 this year. Both of these traditions will remain at the school, Bennett and Kolkea say. As well, students and teachers will be getting a new school. Construction starts in June for a new building for 450 students slated to open in the fall of 2015. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Missed the harbour plan open house? If you missed Monday’s open house regarding moorage in our harbour, you can still tell us what you think! Port Moody’s harbour and the rest of Burrard Inlet are under the authority of 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. Maybe you use Port Moody’s harbour for business or pleasure, or you enjoy the beautiful inlet views. If so, we’d love to hear what you think about the proposed plan!

Keeping stuff safe helps homeless City lets shelter operators set up a secure container
IN QUOTES
“Hope for Freedom was able to increase their number of clients by providing a secure location for their bikes and belongings. The shipping container seemed like an obvious decision.”
By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Homeless people looking to take advantage of a shelter program in the TriCities now have a place to store their belongings overnight. Previously, clients of the cold/wet weather mat program were unable to bring their possessions with them to the shelter, keeping many homeless people from coming inside for fear their few possessions might be stolen. But that has changed this year after the city of Port Coquitlam allowed shelter operators Hope for Freedom Society to set up a storage container at one of the shelter pickup points. Shelter clients can now leave their belongings in the secured location, which has already led to an uptick in the number of people taking advantage of the program so far this season. “We started this year

Providing a secure place for homeless people to store their shopping carts and possessions overnight is attracting more of them to temporary shelters, says a local advocate. off with a bang,”said society director Rob Thiessen. “The numbers in the first week are going up from previous years.” Eight people came through the door on Friday and Saturday, a number that jumped to 11 by Tuesday. Usually, Thiessen said, volunteers expect to see two or three people in the early days of the season. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said offering
people a place to store their belongings was one of the lessons learned from last year’s bridge shelter program. The bridge shelter was housed at Kingsway Avenue’s Grace Church and allowed homeless people to walk to the location on their own and bring their belongings with them to the site. But when area residents complained about the shelter, council voted against al-
lowing it to operate for the 2013/’14 season. Council’s decision forced Hope for Freedom to revert back to its old cold/wet weather mat program model, which rotates between churches every 30 days and buses shelter clients to the shelter location. The return of the buses could have meant that shelter clients would have no place to put their things, an issue that is al-
leviated with the shipping container. “[Last year] Hope for Freedom was able to increase their number of clients by providing a secure location for their bikes and belongings,” Moore said.“The shipping container seemed like an obvious decision.”

SD43 waits for specifics on its financial situation By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
School District 43’s first quarterly financial report of the school year was presented with more questions than answers at Tuesday’s board of education meeting. Superintendent Tom Grant said the district was on track towards a balanced budget but the trends were based on the last three months, including July and August, and some key information won’t be coming from the province until December. For example, the district doesn’t know if it will get some or all of the $4 million in holdback grants it received last year, although only some of the amount was budgeted; as well, average teacher salary costs are rising, with no certainty that the province will cover all of the difference. There will also be

She said students will be taking guests on tours through three rooms filled with memorabilia from the 1960s through to the 2000s.“I think they’re pretty excited,” Yu said of the students.

costs to implementing the new student information system called ConnectEdBC. Staff will have to be retrained to use the system, which could take time. “We’re waiting for the specifics,”Grant said. ConnectEdBC replaces the eight-year-old
BCeSIS online data system that tracks student attendance, grades and medical records, and was criticized for being costly and problem-plagued. In an announcement this week, the province said it had entered into a 12-year contract with Fujitsu Consulting to
provide the new system, which is supposed to be easier to use and secure, and features flexibility to support personalized learning. School districts will have to pay $10 per student per year to use it, the same as they pay now to use the BCeSIS system. Implementation will begin in April 2014 and run to early 2016, after which the current system, BCeSIS, will be decommissioned. But Coquitlam Trustee Brian Robinson said there will be “hidden costs” to implementing the system with no certainty the province will cover them. “There is no provision [to cover the costs]” he said. “This is a monumental change.” Meanwhile, the district expects to get more money — $919,000 — than budgeted to cover a small increase (77 students) in enrolment.

F
or years, the operative response to the issue of election signs was “Get rid of that clutter” and, as a result, rules were put in place to restrict when and where they could be placed. The concern was that election signs clog up streets and boulevards, make a mess of the visual landscape and could be distracting to drivers. But could signs also help remind people that voting time is near and maybe they should get out and mark their ballot? Some politicians seem to think so, and short of setting up voting booths in every fast food restaurant, movie theatre and shopping mall, maybe more signs — even bigger ones announcing the election date — might spur people to be good citizens and vote. On the other hand, maybe those who don’t vote would prefer not to be reminded and would just ignore the signs anyway. Still, it might be worth placing a few large signs in major corridors to see if a few more voters make the effort. It couldn’t hurt.

take a somewhat dim view of cross-border shopping at the best of times. But Remembrance Day puts me over the top. You can pretty much guarantee that on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, B.C. shoppers will be lined up at the border in an immense, idling column, waiting to advance deep into U.S. territory to invade the malls of Bellingham. The Remembrance Day landings will once again see battalions of Canadians head south to triumphantly capture retail products for a few dollars cheaper than at home. (Never mind that they had to burn extra fuel to do it, and in some cases subject themselves to iris scans by U.S. authorities for a quicker crossing.) Really, people, is this your idea of honouring Canadian soldiers who died on distant
battlefields? They fought to protect your freedoms and the one you choose to exercise — on Nov. 11 of all days — is your freedom to leave Canada for a few hours to pour money into a foreign country, supporting foreign businesses, jobs, taxes and services? It makes me wish the old Second World War warbirds that perform fly-bys at local Remembrance Day ceremonies would take a detour over to the Peace Arch and buzz the southbound lineup after the minute of silence — not for a strafing run but, rather, a shaming run, ideally with a plane towing a banner reading“ThankYou ForYour Support.” Heck, I would love to see Royal Canadian Legion members mount a ground counteroffensive and go from car to car in border lineups soliciting contributions for the Poppy Fund from these patriots. Can’t afford that? How tragic. Enjoy your retail conquest. Perhaps you would like to renounce your Canadian Medicare at the same time? If you’ve marked me as a sucker who stu-

I do like to shop Canadian. I like to shop local, too, even when I know it costs more. My White Rock neighbourhood has a rich diversity of shops, services and restaurants to which I can walk from my home.That’s something I value and choose to support because I want those local merchants to still be in busi-

Canada lost its last veteran of the First World War in 2010.The number of surviving Second World War vets still healthy enough to speak publicly about the events of 70 years ago is rapidly dwindling.Their average age is 89 and the average age of Korean War vets is 81. Spare them all a thought — as well as some consideration for Canada’s younger veterans and former peacekeepers who bear their own scars from service — if you find yourself handing over your credit card at a U.S. big box store on Monday. And consider that you might instead be watching what may be the last ceremony at your local cenotaph with live WW2 vets. Alas, we’re at no risk of running out of veterans of the Battle For Bellis Fair.

FACE TO FACE: Should Stephen Harper be booted over the Senate scandal?
PM is doing all the right things I
just returned from the Conservative Party convention in Calgary, where the hot topic of discussion, of course, was the Senate scandal. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past five months, you might not know that three Conservative Senators are accused of claiming inappropriate expenses. Two of them — Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy — have repaid the money but it turns out that the latter’s debt was repaid by Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright. Wright was let go in May and we’ve since learned that several staffers in the PMO knew about the secret payment. Interestingly, many of my journalistic colleagues at the convention were almost gleefully musing about this scandal leading to the demise of Harper’s political career. I’m not so sure about that. Yes, things looks bad for the PM. He appointed the senators and he hired Wright. Moreover, a recent poll suggested that only 21% of Canadians buy his explanation that he knew nothing about Wright’s $90,000“gift”to Duffy. But Prime Minister Harper has handled the situation decisively and with honour. For his malfeasance, Wright no
longer works for the government. Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau have all been removed from Conservative caucus and, on Tuesday, were suspended without pay from the Senate for the rest of the legislative session. Also remember that the Conservative Party is the only party that has any credibility with regard to Senate reform. The party has put forward legislation that would require Senate elections and term limits. This is also the first government — ever — to ask the Supreme Court of Canada for advice on what it would take to either reform or abolish the Senate. Conversely, the federal Liberals appear to be happy with the statusquo while the NDP wants to abolish the Senate but seems to gaze over that little thing called the Canadian Constitution. Scandals happen to all governments of all political stripes. In recent memory, there was the federal sponsorship scandal under the Liberals and provincial flops such as ethnic-gate under the BC Liberals and casino-gate under the BC NDP. It’s how the leadership deals with the scandal that ultimately decides that government’s fate. In this case, Stephen Harper is doing all the right things.

S
hould Prime Minister Stephen Harper resign over the Senate scandal? I don’t think so but as a hockey player might say of an ugly win,“We’ll take it.” If the unrelenting media frenzy over expense fudging by Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy ends up earning the PM a game misconduct, we’ll take it, even though it’s a phantom call by media referees who have let them play this way for years. They said nothing when Harper pummelled government tax revenues by dropping Canada’s corporate taxes annually for seven years. They looked the other way when Harper sent goons off the bench to straighten out Air Canada and other union workers. And they swallowed their whistles as the PM changed Canada from a peacekeeping nation to a shrill yes man to U.S. foreign policy. And now they might kick him out of the game for an incidental Senate expense infraction? That’s like kicking Boston Bruins cheap shot artist Brad Marchand out of the game for holding after you’ve ignored his punching Daniel Sedin in the face five times right in front of you. Of course, Mr. Harper, like previous prime ministers, knew that Senate expense accounts were rou-
tinely padded. Like others, he looked the other way — until Duffy got caught claiming his main residence was in Prince Edward Island when every islander knew he hadn’t been within 500 miles of Green Gables for years. But increasingly, Canada’s media gets so excited about blood in the water that they lose all sense of proportion. A relatively unimportant last straw becomes a media feeding frenzy that goes completely over the top: Gordon Campbell and the HST, Glen Clark and the sundeck, Mike Harcourt and bingo-gate, Dave Barrett and well, because he did too much. To a certain degree, this American style of media mauling directed at Harper is poetic justice. Our PM has never met an American practice he didn’t want to copy so it’s somewhat satisfying to see him hoist by his own petard. But should Prime Minister Harper be forced from office over the Senate scandal? No. Should we throw him out of office for innumerable policies that hurt Canada?Yes. If Stephen Harper loses his job over the Senate scandal, it would be a cheap makeup call, but we would take it.

Cities can act to cut water consumption The Editor, It’s no secret that Metro Vancouverites rank among the worst waterhogs in the world, putting needless pressure on our watersheds and infrastructure. Why, then, do the TriCities still charge the majority of residents a flat-rate for water when a better alternative exists? Switching to metering and volume-based pricing, thus charging households for what they actually use, has been shown to result in a 10% to 25% reduction in water consumption as people modify their behaviour to save money. Additionally, water metering would end the situation whereby small or water-conscientious households effectively pay for the consumption of heavier users. The capital costs of in-
Anthem is fine The Editor, Re. “Should the lyrics of ‘O Canada’ be changed?” (Face to Face, The TriCity News, Oct. 11).

I question their reasoning and sanity. There are so many real problems in the world that should be dealt with and this matter should never have surfaced. H. Allen, Port Coquitlam

Charging for the amount of water people use could result in a reduction in water consumption, says the letter writer. stalling meters has been cited as an obstacle but there are ways to gradually roll out metering, including initially requiring installation only during new home construction and substantial renovation, or creating a program of voluntary metering. While implementa-
tion can’t happen overnight, the time is ripe for Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody to start discussing how to move towards a more sustainable, equitable way of pricing and delivering the most vital service of all. Sebastian Zein, Port Coquitlam

Report says co-operation among cops has improved continued from front page
“Any change, whether it is regional delivery of specialized policing functions or further integration, has to meet the needs of both communities and taxpayers, and our goal is to retain and support communitybased policing,” Anton said in a statement. She said the review will also draw up funding options to finance police costs after work to better define the responsibilities of various levels of government. Several mayors, including Lois Jackson of Delta, which has a municipal police force, remain firmly against regional policing on the grounds they may lose community policing control and the ability to deliver no-call-too-small service to their residents. The two-year review is to be done by the ministry in close consultation with local cities and with some assistance from the BC Association of Chiefs of Police.
SUZANNE ANTON But SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said it doesn’t look independent enough to come up with the right solution, even if it’s one that upsets some cities and police forces. “It’s going to be a selfserving apology for the status quo,” Gordon predicted. “Police chiefs and mayors all have a great deal at stake. It could very well be a waste of time and money.” Gordon said a separate study is expected to report back soon on the Integrated Homicide I nve s t i g at i o n Te a m
RCMP costs major concern for cities By Jeff Nagel Black Press
The rising costs of RCMP service remain a big issue for Metro cities. R i c h m o n d M ayo r Malcolm Brodie said his city is still considering pulling out of the RCMP and launching its own municipal force. If that were to happen, Richmond would contract with a neighbouring city for specialized services, such as murder investigations. “Our assumption has been that there was so much opposition to a regional model that it probably wasn’t going to happen,” he said. “Whether that now changes, we have to wait and see.” B u r n a b y, Po r t Coquitlam and North Vancouver have also studied potential alternatives to the RCMP over the past 18 months since a controversial new 20year RCMP contract kicked in with higher officer costs. Brodie said one “huge issue” is the costs cities are being expected to pay to cover the newly opened $1-billion RCMP E Division provincial headquarters at Green Timbers in Surrey. RCMP-policed cities have been told to budget $1,200 for each officer in their detachment, he said, and $20,000 for every local officer who serves on an integrated team.
Brodie said it adds up to a sudden jump of several hundred thousand dollars in annual RCMP costs for larger cities like Richmond, Burnaby and Surrey. “When you’ve got 20 members on an integrated team, that’s a lot of money.” The mayors also want to know why they have to pay anything for the new base in Surrey when Ottawa apparently isn’t yet moving to sell off the old E Division headquarters on Heather Street in Vancouver. “The federal government decides that they need a huge, massive new building in Surrey, which we didn’t ask for,” Brodie said. “We take the position we’re not paying for the capital costs.” jnagel@blackpress.ca
(IHIT), which is one of the regional integrated police teams that doesn’t have full municipal cooperation. Vancouver, Delta and West Vancouver all run their own homicide squads rather than participate in IHIT, out of concerns over both costs and control. Port Moody Police Department recently signed back on with IHIT after previously contracting homicide investigations to Vancouver PD. Gordon said he fears the IHIT report will result in more “BandAiding” of the existing structure, instead of taking a needed step back to look at how to redesign the entire “totally inefficient” policing system in Metro Vancouver as well
as greater Victoria. According to a provincial report, there has been improved co-operation between police forces over the years through greater use of integrated police teams and several police-related reforms are being taken in response to Justice Wally Oppal’s inquiry. Those include audits to ensure biasfree policing, the development of a Real Time Intelligence Centre that can better analyze crime data around the clock and a separate review of how vulnerable witnesses are handled. Most of Oppal’s 65 recommendations haven’t led to provincial action or are counted as still in progress. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Parking concerns stop large daycare A proposal to rezone a Coquitlam property for a daycare that would serve up to 40 children was denied last week due to neighbours’ concerns. After a public hearing last Monday, city council voted 6-1 against the plan for 283 Hart St., saying area residents were against the daycare because it would create too much noise and traffic. The property is located in what one homeowner described as a “Bermuda Triangle” for traffic: It is between Lougheed Highway (across from the Kia car dealership), Alderson Avenue and Hart Street, which is a short road. According to a city staff report, applicant Danuta Rodski wanted
to convert the 77-yearold home into a licensed Montessori childcare facility, operating weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. with five staff members; however, only six on-site parking spaces were dedicated for the business. “I think this is a very distinct little nest of traffic problems,” Coun. Neal Nicholson said of the area. And while daycare is needed, Coun. Lou Sekora added, “I think the people in the area have a good reason why they don’t want it in there and it’s because of the traffic.” Coun. Mae Reid said parking is already jammed in the neighbourhood due to illegal secondary suites. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Additions, seismic work also needed continued from front page
Leigh session Nov. 19
GROWTH: COQ.
But short of winning a lottery, the district has no large capital reserve to build schools. Instead, it’s looking at better utilizing its properties — for example, possibly selling a small portion of land at Coquitlam’s Parkland elementary for nine home lots — to start to generate some of the capital that may encourage the province to fund needed projects. The capital plan, approved unanimously Tuesday, contains a wish list of 50 projects, including mechanical upgrades and seismic work on older buildings and additions on newer ones. The total price: $283 million. Topping the list is the long-awaited Burke Mountain elementary for the burgeoning northeast, where the district hopes to build a $24-million two-storey school for 350 children. A second Burke Mountain elementary school is also on the list. But the district also wants to build additions to Walton, Glen and Panorama elementary schools, which are over capacity and have portables on site. Glen was only built five years ago
The next community workshop on school properties will be held Nov. 19 at Leigh elementary school to talk about the future of school property at nearby Victoria Park. The workshop runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.; more information can be found at www.sd43.bc.ca under News and Events.
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Glen elementary was built just five years ago and has two portables on site. A four-classroom addition is required to accommodate students expected to be living in the area with new housing density around the Evergreen Line route. but it already has two portables and school officials confirmed that the implementation of all all-day kindergarten as well as the coming of the Evergreen LIne and expected population growth are creating a need for new classrooms. The three elementary schools also host programs of choices: Glen and Panorama are dual-track schools with French immersion and Walton has the popular
Mandarin program. As one of the smaller projects, the $1-million, twoclassroom addition at Walton is expected to be approved first.
GROWTH: pOmO
Meanwhile, the district is also looking at what it can do in Port Moody, where the city’s official community plan is looking at greater housing density to support the Evergreen Line. Moody elementary
school needs seismic repairs or replacement
with a larger school but a new one wouldn’t necessarily be on the current site (the corner of St. Johns and Moody streets). A possible location for a new Moody elementary is in front of a new Moody middle school. The latter school, another aging building, will be torn down after its replacement opens in the fall of 2015, situated at the rear of the current school property at (St. Johns and Buller streets). Board chair Melissa
Hyndes said the Moody elementary school property is too small to accommodate a new school of the size needed to accommodate kids in kindergarten to Grade 5, especially with more density expected in the area and the possible addition of French immersion. She said nothing is written in stone and Wednesday’s public consultation was designed to get ideas from the community but moving the

school to create a “campus” at Moody middle is one idea being looked at. “It’s an option, one of the things that has been talked about,” said the Port Moody trustee. “You could have a campus-style module on the Moody middle site with a progressive French immersion program. That’s long term, and those are some of the options we’re talking about.” Missing from the capital plan this year are improvements at Minnekhada and Montgomery middle, and Irvine elementary because the province has already approved seismic mitigation for them. But the district hopes the numbers work so that the case can be made to rebuild the schools, not just make seismic upgrades. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Road closure near Ioco & Barnet this long weekend Tri-City drivers should plan their routes carefully this long weekend due to a major road closure associated with Evergreen Line construction. Barnet Highway between Ioco and Dewdney Trunk Road will be closed this weekend as crews push a large concrete structure, which will ultimately contain a portion of the station platform and guideway, into position below the highway next to the Ioco bridge. The closure will take place this weekend and motorists are asked to find alternate routes when travelling between Coquitlam and Port Moody. Dewdney Trunk Road will provide a detour between St. Johns Street and Mariner Way. Drivers are not the only people who will be affected by the closure. Pedestrians and cyclists will also be detoured to the east Port Moody 30 Unit pedestrian/cyclists over-

History comes full circle in PoCo YOUR HISTORY Bryan Ness
T
he war memorial cenotaph in Veterans Park in downtown Port Coquitlam was dedicated 90 years ago on Nov. 11, 1923. On a dreary Sunday afternoon, many braved the cold weather to witness the unveiling of the monument, erected to honour the local fallen soldiers of the Great War, which had ended just five years earlier. Prior to being relocated across town beside city hall on McAllister Avenue in 1968, the cenotaph stood at Aggie Park on PoCo’s north side, in the area now known as McMitchell Park. Amongst the crowd assembled that afternoon in 1923 were the town’s Great War veterans, who had fought for their country in that“War to end all Wars.” Arthur Johnson was one of them. He had emigrated to Canada from Pangbourne, Berkshire, England in 1907 and came to Coquitlam in 1912. He served overseas with the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War as part of Gen. Currie’s Canadian Corps staff and witnessed the horror and devastation that epitomized that global struggle. While in the trenches at Cologne, Arthur turned his“tin-pot” steel helmet into an artist’s canvas, painting upon it a poignant scene of a fellow soldier standing beside a nearby cathedral, which he titled“The Last Hole.”It was a keepsake he treasured for the rest of his life. Johnson was an avid gardener and worked many years for the city of Port Coquitlam building roads and sidewalks for a growing city. But was best known for his landscaping work at city hall. He planted the willow and magnolia trees, and created the stonework and the gardens there, filling in the old creek bed of the Coquitlam River that once

ran by the area occupied years later by that same war memorial cenotaph. To celebrate Port Coquitlam’s 2013 Centennial, a website was created asking the public for artefacts and memorabilia to be included in a time capsule that was later buried inVeterans Park on Oct. 15, 2013. One interesting submission emailed from Sarnia, Ont. was a photograph of Arthur Johnson’s painted WW1 helmet, along with some historical documents, contributed by Arthur’s granddaughter, Marilyn Swire. It seemed a fitting tribute to include a bit of Arthur Johnson’s history in our time capsule, his-
tory that had come full circle: What began in the trenches of WW1, the unveiling of the cenotaph at Aggie Park in 1923 and its subsequent move later over by city hall, to finally finish there beneath the trees and gardens that were so near and dear to him during his life. A fitting tribute, indeed. (Note: A special thank you to the PoCo Spirit Committee’s Linda Sliworsky for her work on the time capsule.)
Your History is a column in which, once a month, representatives of the Tri-Cities’ three heritage groups writes about local history. Bryan Ness is with the Port Coquitlam Heritage Society.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Eagle Mountain — Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project Open House and Invitation to Comment FortisBC (Proponent) is proposing the Eagle Mountain-Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project. The proposed Project consists of the expansion of the Proponent’s existing pipeline constructed in 1990 to serve the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island. The expansion includes the addition of an approximately 52km long 20 inch (NPS 20 or 508 mm) diameter natural gas pipeline from the area north and outside of the Coquitlam Watershed in the Greater Vancouver Regional District (Metro Vancouver) to Woodfibre, southwest of Squamish.
At this stage of the process, the primary intent of seeking public comments is to receive feedback about the information required and the scope of the studies to be undertaken in the Application. The information included in the Application Information Requirements will direct the Proponent’s efforts for a comprehensive assessment of the potential effects that may result from constructing and operating the proposed Project on the environmental, economic, social, heritage and health valued components identified within the proposed Project footprint.
In addition to the pipeline, the proposed project also requires additional compression at the Proponent’s compressor station at Eagle Mountain Drive in north Coquitlam and at Port Mellon north of Gibsons along with the construction of a new compressor station in or near Squamish.
All comments received from the public will be forwarded to the Proponent for consideration and response. When satisfied with the Proponent’s responses (that may require changes to the draft Application Information Requirements) the EAO will finalize the draft Application Information Requirements and issue it to the Proponent.
Ancillary facilities such as metering stations, mainline valves and temporary stockpile sites and equipment storage areas are also required at different points along the pipeline route.
The EAO accepts written public comments online, by mail or by fax as follows: • By online form at eao.gov.bc.ca
The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an Environmental Assessment (“EA”) Certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for the EA Certificate by the Proponent, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve the Application Information Requirements.
• By mail: Environmental Assessment Office P.O. Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria, BC V8W 9V1 Attention: Josh Handysides • By Fax: Fax: (250) 356-6448
The Application Information Requirements document specifies the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. The EAO has now received the draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites public comments on this draft during a 30-day Public Comment Period, between November 15th, 2013 and December 16th, 2013. In order to be considered, your comments must be submitted during this specified time frame.
An electronic copy of the draft Application Information Requirements and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at.eao.gov.bc.ca. Copies of the draft Application Information Requirements are also available for viewing at libraries and Municipal Offices in Squamish and Coquitlam.
The EAO also invites the public to attend two Open Houses related to this comment period to be held as follows:
A subsequent formal public comment period will be held during the Application review stage. The public will have the opportunity to assess how the information required in the Application Information Requirements was addressed by the Proponent in their Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate.

Each November, Poppies blossom on the lapels and collars of over half of Canada’s entire population. Since 1921, the Poppy has stood as a symbol of Remembrance, our visual pledge to never forget all those Canadians who have fallen in war and military operations. The Poppy also stands internationally as a “symbol of collective reminiscence”, as other countries have also adopted its image to honour those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. This significance of the Poppy can be traced to international origins. The association of the Poppy to those who had been killed in war has existed since the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before being adopted in Canada. There exists a record from that time of how thickly Poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. This early connection between the Poppy and battlefield deaths described how fields that were barren before
the battles exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended. Just prior to the First World War, few Poppies grew in Flanders. During the tremendous bombardments of that war, the chalk soils became rich in lime from rubble, allowing “popaver rhoes” to thrive. When the war ended, the lime was quickly absorbed and the Poppy began to disappear again. The person who was responsible more than any other for the adoption of the Poppy as a symbol of Remembrance in Canada and the Commonwealth was Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian Medical Officer during the First World War.

Regular maintenance costs are easily figured but some cars can be very expensive if parts have to be brought in from around the world. Once you have a handle on the above, you can narrow your choice. It is important you like the looks of the second most expensive purchase of your life. However, make sure it serves its intended purpose by answering some questions. Typically, how many people do you need to transport and how far? Is there enough stowage space in the cabin and the trunk or luggage compartment? Do you need V8 power or will an economical four-cylinder suffice? Now go and kick some tires at a variety of dealerships and consider multiple brands because they all have much to offer.

Canadian choice: compact cars and SUVs So many cars to choose from, so few words available in this tight space! Yes, I know that’s the complaint of every writer but we truly do have a lot of choice today. And the quality of vehicles is so much higher than it ever was so there is much to celebrate. In the run-up to 2014, I will be testing a lot of what’s new and improved. Today, I’ll just offer you five models to consider adding to your shopping list.
a healthy 184hp. It is the interior buyers will care most about, and the Mazda3 is a nice surprise, due to class leading available options and a high level of finish. Starting at $15,995 and running up to $29,895, there is a Mazda3 for all budgets.
2014 Toyota Corolla Continuing with the compact car theme, the Toyota Corolla is the third best selling car in Canada but Toyota 2014 Mazda3 believes this new model The compact car segment can take the overall sales in Canada is the biggest crown away from the by far, with over 20 per Honda Civic. This new cent of all vehicles sold. 2014 model is made, and So, the introduction of partly designed, right Toyota believes the Mazda3 is important here in Canada with because it is currently the this new Corolla can our needs in mind. The fourth best seller in this take the overall sales Corolla now has a longer class. for amazing crown away from the wheelbase The outgoing car was interior space, especially Honda Civic. already one of the best in the back seat. The dash handling cars and now is wide and flat for ample Zack Spencer with a lighter and sexier room and covered in looking body, this new nice looking and feeling car is both eye catching and solid on materials, plus there is an available the road. The base engine is a 2.0L centre screen to use for the radio and 4-cylinder with 155hp, thanks to direct backup camera. Powering the 2014 injection. The larger 2.5L engine puts out Corolla is the same 132hp 1.8L engine

from the last model, with one exception. The LE Eco model has a modified valve system to improve fuel economy and pump the power to 140hp. The biggest change is the introduction of a continuously variable transmission for a greater range of gears, improved economy, and a smooth drive. 2014 Volkswagen Golf This new Golf will be made in Mexico along side the Beetle and Jetta sedan and will go on sale in the spring of 2014. It is wider and longer than the last Golf but also significantly lighter and safer. The base engine will be a new turbocharged 1.8L engine with 170hp but don’t worry the TDI diesel is carried over. The sportier GTI trim is fantastic, with an estimated 225hp in the Canadian model thanks to a new 2.0L turbo engine. The interior materials used inside are almost Audi quality. No price yet but building these new cars inside the NAFTA zone will save money and that will be reflected in the price. 2014 Jeep Cherokee The Cherokee is back and it looks nothing like the boxy truck of old. In fact, this new, small SUV is based on the same Alfa Romeo platform used in the Dodge
Top: Nissan Rogue. Above: Interior of Volkswagen Golf GTI. ZACK SPENCER Dart. It is smooth and quiet and a pleasure to drive. The Cherokee is also the first vehicle in the world to be equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp or the optional 3.2L V6 with 271hp, for just $1,300 more, offering good value. Not to worry Jeep fans, this new Cherokee is available with three
AWD systems. 2014 Nissan Rogue You might notice a trend that my 2014 model choices are all compact cars or compact SUVs. This is the direction Canadians are heading when it comes to buying a new vehicle. With this in mind Nissan has an all-new Rogue compact SUV with enough room inside for three rows of seats and room for 7 passengers. This is practical for people who require extra capacity but don’t want to buy a bigger or more expensive mid-sized or larger SUV. Under the hood is a 2.5L 4-cylinder used in other Nissan products and is matched to a new continually variable transmission featuring more available ratios and reduced friction. The interior is very well executed, with a dash that looks similar to the bigger Pathfinder. Goes on sale just before Christmas. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

2014 Fiat 500L – starts at $19,995 For Fiat fans, if the 500 was too small, here’s your answer: the 500L. The longer wheelbase cutie is more practical than the pint-sized version and has more room. And two more doors! Powering it is a 1.4L, 4-cylinder, MultiAir turbo engine that pumps out 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Toyota Corolla – starts at $15,995 No, you’re not reading that wrong. I did include the 2014 Toyota Corolla on my list. Yes, it’s like automotive bread and butter; you always know what you’re getting and it’s very predictable. But with a complete overhaul for 2014, you could say the Japanese manufacturer has added some jam on top to make it sweeter. New styling on the inside and out makes it more desirable to the eyes. It’s still not as exciting as most of its competitors but the 1.8L, 4-cyinder does a bang-up job of delivering 132 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. The cabin is quiet and I’ll hand it to Toyota for matching it with a CVT transmission that is just fabulous. alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

Mazda3 Sport – starts at $15,995 For the 2014 model year, Mazda completely overhauls their number-one selling sedan and hatchback: the 3. Expect more mature (but not dated) styling, a driver-focused cabin and a host of technological gadgetry that makes staying “connected” behind the wheel more user friendly. Of course, without trying to take away focus from the act of driving. Among its tweaked features, you’ll find brand new interior and exterior styling along with the implementation of their high compression ratio engines, better known as SKYACTIV. Two engines and transmissions are offered. There’s the 2.0L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine with a 6-speed manual transmission or an available 6-speed automatic transmissionavailable on either the base GX or mid-grade GS models. It produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque.

Ford Fiesta ST – $24,499 If its exterior colour, say the one clad in Green Envy, doesn’t catch your eye, perhaps its exhaust note will. When you rev the 1.6L, 4-cylinder, turbocharged, EcoBoost engine of the Fiesta ST, you’ll probably turn your head. Yes, it’s a subcompact but it doesn’t feel like it when you’re working through the gears of the 6-speed manual transmission. Ford’s newest mini powerhouse comes with a whopping 197 horsepower and 202 lb-ft of torque. It’s the same engine paired with the Focus ST, but in a smaller packaged. If its sport-infused suspension, gearbox, phenomenal handling and host of creature comforts sound good to you, it’s even better to drive.

YOUR HISTORY Doug Rolling
Tuesday, November 12, 2013
I
n Holland in October 1945, Elsley andYetty Foulds were married. It was one of the few days on which city hall favoured celebrants with a red carpet, adding a dash of colour to a war–worn town. Yetty wore a dress made of army surplus parachute silk.There was money for a fancy gown but there were few dresses in the stores. In fact, there wasn’t much of anything in the stores. Five months earlier the Allied forces, including valiant young Canadians, had liberated Holland from the Nazi yoke.The struggle to rebuild Holland and Europe had begun. The newlyweds had much in common. Elsley was a carpenter and had endured the hardships of economic depression in the 1930s in Saskatchewan. And, as a trained medic, he had survived the horror of the Normandy invasion on June 6, 1944.Yetty grew up in Depression-era Holland, when bicycle tires were made of wood for lack of rubber. As a teenager during the Nazi occupation, she watched her father scurry and

Elsley was finally demobilized from the army in Regina in 1946 andYetty joined him in Saskatoon in July of that year.They lived on Elsley’s parents’ farm for a while. Then, in 1947, they hopped on a train to start a new life in Coquitlam, where Elsley had relatives. The train trip was not without drama.Their three-month-old daughter had whooping cough and whileYetty breastfed, both kept the baby alive by keeping her air passage clear with their fingers. It was a great relief to find a doctor in Coquitlam who understood the ailment and
made the baby well. The hyper-busy urban dwellers of today will have difficulty visualizing the very rural Coquitlam that greeted the eyes of the young couple. North of Maillardville, dwellings were scattered among the trees. Austin Avenue boasted a chicken farm. What is now Lougheed Highway was mostly bulrushes. ButYetty says a family atmosphere prevailed in the community: no locked doors, sharing to meet needs. WhileYetty set about to make a home for what would be 10 children, Elsley looked for work. The career-oriented of today might be surprised at the lengths to which he went to put food on the table. He plied his trade anywhere and everywhere, including the
big Western Canadian mill and city projects. For a time, he bused to the tram in New Westminster, then toVancouver, then it was a tram all the way to Steveston in Richmond to work in the canneries. The Second World War has never retreated safely into the past for Elsley and he speaks of it humbly, resolutely but with reluctance. Upon discharge, he says,“We were left to find our own way.”Battle had left soldiers troubled and“hardened”in a way they did not want to be. Nevertheless, Elsley has been a service officer at the Royal Canadian Legion, along withYetty, for 17 years. His dedication to the well-being of veterans has taken him as far afield as England. Younger Afghanistan vets’ participation at the Legion has been spotty but Elsley says this is slowly changing.
Now into their 90s, Yetty and Elsley are as mentally sharp and active as people 40 years their junior. They dwell on Cartier in their 100-year-old home, which now bears a heritage plaque. They radiate an abiding appreciation for the blessings they have. And, of course, they have travelled back to Holland and Europe more than a few times to honour the liberation. They take comfort in a ceremony in which Dutch kids, every Christmas, light candles at the graves of fallen Canadian soldiers to let each know he is beloved and admired for his sacrifice.
Your History is a column in which, once a month, representatives of the Tri-Cities’ three heritage groups writes about local history. Doug Rolling is writing for the Coquitlam Heritage Society.

We should eat more alkaline food. We all know that swimming pools can only work if they are acidic/alkaline neutral. This is still more critical for our body. Basic information to have an alkaline body: USDA now recommended on their website. MY plate.gov 50% should be alkaline food (vegetables, salads, legumes, fruit, berries, mushrooms) 50% can be acidic food (Meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, rice, nuts, cheese. Less or no bread, noodles, cereals, cakes. No sweets, deep frieds.) Most North American diet is 90% acidic food. If you have trouble to achieve at least a 50% in alkaline food and 50% acidic food, consider to take a supplement like Bell Acidic #39 Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive and comes with a guarantee. It helps to have a healthy alkaline balanced body and prevents many discomforts, including indigestion and stomach acid reflux coming up, which a majority of people suffer with. 60 million in North America. We should not ignore that Dr. Otto Warburg M.D. was awarded 2 Nobel Prizes for proving that an alkaline balanced body can absorb up to 20 times more oxygen than an acidic body. Makes our immune system more effective to fight disease-producing bacteria including cancer cells we have in our body every day of our life. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief with noside effects and no antacids needed anymore. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA < Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking antacid products. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL

Seniors make up a fast-growing segment of new users of Facebook but with online access come risks, according to a Canadian internet security company. “Protecting yourself can be easy when you make cyber safety a priority. Become aware of the most common threats and risk to your
online security,”added Maio.“There’s too much to lose if you don’t. Beyond the sheer inconvenience and possible embarrassment, you put
your privacy, financial savings and even personal safety can be at risk if you are carelessly leaving an easy trail for scammers to follow.”
It is not without a price, that we live in a land that is free.

Internet safety has always been an important subject for parents and their children. But increasingly, adults are beginning to realize that they need to also educate their own parents on this topic. In Canada, the fastest growing age group joining Facebook is 65 and older; in fact 53% of all seniors are on the internet everyday, according to a press release from the internet security company Trend Micro. Unfortunately, there are also more and more sophisticated schemes criminals trying to scam internet users for their own financial gain. So how do seniors take control of their own cyber security and enjoy safe surfing? “Protecting yourself can be easy when you become aware of the most common threats and risks to your online security. It all begins with understanding one simple fact: the internet can be a hazardous place. Whether banking, connecting with friends, or just passing time, when you’re online you are never alone,”said Laura Maio of Trend Micro.“Seniors can avoid becoming victims of scammers and other internet criminals by being vigilant.” The Ottawa-based company offers the following tips on staying safe online: • Be wary of unexpected calls or messages. • Stick to well-known websites. • Only accept friend requests from people you know. • Choose your passwords wisely, protect them, don’t use the same passwords for everything, and make them difficult to guess by using letters, numbers and symbols. • Make sure to change your passwords every three months. • Don’t be afraid to say,“Wait a minute... let me check with somebody else.” • Use a different computer for online banking. • Make sure to use and set your computer’s privacy settings. • On Facebook, never post when you’re going on vacation — let people know, once you’re back. • Be careful on public WiFi: hackers can hijack your session, collecting info and infecting your computer.

Willoughby Town Centre already thriving in Langley By Kerry Vital
Willoughby Town Centre celebrated its grand opening on Sept. 21, but the neighbourhood has been extremely popular with Langley residents for much longer than that. Loblaw’s Your Independent Grocer, Noma Sushi, Town Centre Liquor, Sassy Nails and several other stores are already
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
operating, while other businesses will soon open up shop. “This is very much a growing community,” says Hugh Carter, vice-president of community and commercial development for Qualico, one of the driving forces behind Willoughby Town Centre. “There are not only major tenants, but also a good collection of independents as well.” Eventually there will be a variety of shops and services available, including a building devoted mainly to medical and dental offices, as well as a pharmacy, yoga studio and a variety of boutiques. Willoughby Town Centre will also include a residential
component. The first phase is Kensington, a 65-unit apartment building. Other projects are planned for the future. Willoughby Town Centre joins South Surrey’s Morgan Crossing and West Vancouver’s Park Royal as “lifestyle centres” with residential and commercial space. “We believe in these walkable communities,” Carter says. “There’s a broader appeal here that I think is unique in the marketplace.” “The whole idea is to be pedestrian-friendly,” says Diane Zarola, sales and marketing manager for Qualico. “We want it to be a gathering place.” John Johnson, owner of Town Centre Liquor, is very happy with his decision to open up shop in Willoughby Town Centre. “It’s a real country setting with a downtown flavour,” he says, adding that he’s happy that the store can be in the neighbourhood from the beginning. “This area is growing so quickly. It’s really quite amazing.”

Marcon’s Heywood on the Park showcases Classic Modern architecture in a beautiful location beside a 39.5-acre park in North Vancouver. Laminate flooring, nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows are just a few of the amazing features.
Park-side living at Marcon’s Heywood on the Park By Kerry Vital
If you’re looking for a home that’s as beautiful as the 39.5-acre park it’s named after, you need look no further than Heywood on the Park, Marcon’s condominium project in North Vancouver that showcases great design and a fantastic location. “You’re literally on the edge of the park,” says sales manager Wendy Pirie. “The park is on two sides of the building, so you’ll never have buildings there. There’s retail and transit

on the other two sides; it’s really unique to have all of that.” Curb appeal is abundant at Heywood on the Park, with its Classic Modern architecture designed by NSDA Architects. Ranging from approximately 538 to 1,184 square feet, the one-, two- and three-bedroom homes are available in a variety of spacious floorplans. Among the luxurious features you’ll find at Heywood on the Park is laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and ninefoot ceilings (eight feet in the bathrooms). The oversized windows optimize natural light even on the darkest of days. “These are extremely bright suites,” Pirie says. “They don’t feel like condos.” The kitchens are fit for any budding gourmet, with their stainless-steel appliances, solid quartz countertops and full-wrap series cabinetry in Frosty White Gloss,
complemented by accent cabinets in squareedge Brookside Whitewashed Oak or Brookside Veneer Teak. Select homes include full-height pantries with a built-in microwave and a USB charging station. The bathrooms are relaxing, with their own solid quartz countertops and a deep soaker tub. The tub and shower surround is accented by Calacatta stone, complementing the Arctic White tiles. A floating mirror with polished chrome accent lighting shows you in your best light, while the warm grey porcelain tile floor is elegant and contemporary. The best feature of the homes at Heywood on the Park is the amazing views of the North Shore mountains or city (in some plans). This is accentuated by the generous patios, decks and terraces in every home. “These terraces are just huge,” Pirie says. Heywood on the Park’s location offers easy access to the rest of the Lower Mainland,
as well as schools, dining, recreation and shopping all within walking distance. On-site, you’ll find an amenity lounge with a patio. Marcon has a well-established reputation for gorgeous homes and great customer service, something that Pirie says has been bringing people into the sales centre. “They are there for you after the purchase,” she says. “They’ve built on the North Shore before. They’re top-notch.” Homes at Heywood on the Park start at $288,900.

Centaurs seek playoff payback By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
Dan EbEnal/ThE Tri-CiTy nEws
Kyle Carragher (left), Tamara O’Brien and Jared Khalifa will be competing in the World Age Group championships for trampoline gymnastics next week in Sofia, Bulgaria. O’Brien is already in Bulgaria where she is taking part in the senior Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships.
Trio bounces onto world stage By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
The world awaits three athletes from Port Coquitlam’s TAG Sports Centre. Coquitlam’s Tamara O’Brien is in Sofia, Bulgaria this week to take part in the Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships. “It’s hard to even describe how excited I am,” said O’Brien, who will celebrate her 17th birthday in Bulgaria. While this will be the first senior-level world championships for O’Brien, she is already a seasoned competitor with four World Age Group championships under her belt. She has been a member of Team Canada since the age of 11 and her passport carries stamps from France, England, Denmark,
United States, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. “We’ve got to watch the worlds when we compete at WAGs so I kind of know what I’m in for but it’s going to be totally crazy competing and really exciting,” said O’Brien. She will be competing in double mini, one of three disciplines in the sport along with trampoline and tumbling. “The Canadians are the defending world championships so there’s quite a bit of pressure on them,” said Barb Fraser, who has coached O’Brien for the past eight years and is also in Bulgaria as part of the Team Canada coaching staff. O’Brien lists the double mini is her favourite event, saying she likes the fact there is only a
10-second window for her to display all the skills she’s worked a lifetime to develop. “Everything you worked for is built up in 10 seconds and you know if you go a little too sideways you’re going to be off. It can happen so fast it’s just exciting.” O’Brien isn’t setting any goals to make the finals or win a medal, just hoping to do her best at the competition. “I’m just so blessed and honoured to have this experience and I just want to take it all in and have the best time,” said O’Brien, who plans on competing in many more world championships in the future. “I have so much more to learn and so many more skills to build. It’s just all starting now.” And this week’s world
championships are just the start of the current journey for O’Brien, who will be remaining in Bulgaria for next week’s World Age Group championships where she will compete in tumbling. O’Brien will be joined at the World Age Group championships by her TAG teammates Kyle Carragher and Jared Khalifa. “Kyle is a triple threat as a top Canadian contender for medals,” said Fraser. “It is difficult to qualify for a berth on the teams as athletes have to meet Canadian scores and rank standards and it is most unusual to qualify on all three events.” Carragher said the tumbling and double mini events have always come natural for him but he has worked hard
this year to improve on trampoline. “It’s not my strong one but I’ve worked to make it my strong one,” said the 16-year-old Coquitlam product. He first attended the World Age Group championships in 2010 with knee surgery forcing him to withdraw from the games in 2011. “I’m kind of nervous but I’ve been working real hard this year and I’m real excited to show everybody what I’ve accomplished.” Carragher first entered gymnastics at age six but had been showing an ability in the sport from the moment he could walk. “I used to play soccer but I would be doing cartwheels when I was goalie,” he said. see CaRRaghER, page 40
The pre-season loss to the New Westminster Hyacks will be on the minds of the Centennial Centaurs as they open the playoffs at Mercer Stadium tonight. “We are excited to get an opportunity to play NWSS again after they handed us our first [pre-season] loss this year,” said Centaurs head coach Simon Quinto, who plans to have the 44-22 result from the Sept. 13 matchup on the whiteboard in the locker room. “Coach [Farhan] Lalji had done a great job with his program and their offence is a very physical running team. We also feel that we made a lot of mistakes and were quite undisciplined. These are two areas that have been improving each week and we hope to be free of both come Friday.” The Centaurs fell 37-6 to the No. 3-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers in their final regular season game last Friday. Quarterback Nick Okamoto hit Matt Danieli for a 60-yard touchdown strike on the opening drive but that was all the offence Centennial could muster. The Centaurs were able to keep it close until the final seconds of the first half when Jamel Lyles broke off a 56-yard run to send the Panthers to the locker room up 14-6. “That momentum carried them into the second half and our offence was kept off the field,” said Quinto. “They have a great defence and Nick was having a tough time connecting with his receivers.” Centennial offensive lineman Saeed HosainAli was named an Eastern Conference allstar along with receiver Jordan Kennedy and defensive back Isaiah Stewart.
The Terry Fox Ravens will enjoy a well-deserved rest this weekend as their 6-1 record gives them first place in the Eastern Conference and a first-round bye in the playoffs. The No. 2-ranked Ravens wrapped up the regular season with a 41-6 win over Kelowna. A suffocating Ravens defence held the Owls to just 114 yards of total offence. On the other side of the ball the Ravens racked up 286 yards on the ground, with Kyle Deugau pounding in a pair of touchdowns, Mike West scoring once and Kyle Sagmoen also finding the end zone. Connor McKee went 9-for16 for 147 yards in the air including a 62-yard touchdown strike to Brad Peters. McKee also called his own number for an eight-yard score. Baltej Dhanoya with 69 yards and West with 66 were the Terry Fox rushing leaders. Brycen Mayoh reeled in a pair of interceptions while Jo rd a n S e n ey a n d Deugau each compiled eight tackles and a sack. McKee, receiver Jason Shamatutu and lineman Mike Beck got Eastern Conference all-star nods on the offensive side of the ball while defensive lineman Sagmoen, linebacker Isaiah Stevens and defensive back Kyle Miller will represent the Ravens on defence. The Junior Ravens rode a monster effort from Jan Cabrera on Halloween night to hand the St. Thomas More Junior Knights their first loss. Cabrera rushed for 191 yards and a touchdown to pace the Ravens to a 14-6 win. Taylor Poitras picked up the other touchdown on a 10-yard run. The win improves the juniors’ record to 5-0 in league play, securing a first-round bye in the playoffs. sports@tricitynews.com
COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SOCCER PLAYERS of the WEEK MALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
EVAN DOORNBERG
COQUITLAM METRO-FORD U17 NITRO
This past weekend the Under 17 Metro-Ford Nitro team tied Langley United 0-0 on Saturday in the 5 District Division 1 league. Nitro held most of possession in the game but the opposing team played very defensively making it tough for our boys to hit the back of the net. Special mention should be made of Defender EVAN DOORNBERG who played a great game. Evan has played all positions possible in the past 3 games and our “go to” guy in the last 2 games. He was successful in holding off the Langley players, preventing scoring opportunities. For Evan’s strong performances, he has been named Coquitlam Metro Ford Male Player of the Week.

Chargers lock up first with win The Coquitlam Chargers scored 20 unanswered points to trip up the White Rock Titans 27-6 Saturday and lock up first place in the bantam division. Matt Shuen opened the scoring for the Chargers in the second quarter before White Rock answered to go to the half 7-6. But the Charger defence clamped down in the second half, led by sacks from Jason Tade and Bowen Goldade and sure tackling by Matt McAloney, Devin Pal, Dayal Hayre and Liam Stewart. Shuen found the end zone twice more in the second half with the

Express ground Eagles Joey Santucci netted the winner in the Coquitlam Express’ 4-3 win over the visiting Surrey Eagles Wednesday. Goals from Marc Biega, Corey Mackin and Bo Pieper lifted the Express to a 3-0 lead after the first period in which Coquitlam outshot Surrey 18-5. Surrey scored twice in the second but could only get one past Pierce Dushenko in a third period that saw him turn aside 21 shots.
Coquitlam’s Jeff Wight (Merritt Centennials) had a goal and an assist to help Canada West knock off the Czech Republic 4-1 Tuesday at the 2013 Junior A Challenge in Yarmouth, N.S. Canada West, which also features another Coquitlam product ( d e f e n c e m a n Vi k t o r Dombrovskiy of the Langley Thunder), opened the tournament with a 4-3 win over Switzerland Monday.

“I would go to birthday parties and all the parents would be like: ‘You should put this guy in gymnastics because he looks like a natural.’ Because I would have a lot of energy and I would just run around and do flips and stuff that I had never even learned from a professional.” Carragher hopes his future includes a trip to the senior world championships and a scholarship to a U.S. university and his ultimate goal is to represent Canada at the 2016 or 2020 Summer Olympics. Khalifa will be competing in tumbling at the World Age Group championships.
Bobcats in peewee action. T h e Wi l d c a t d e fence kept the game within reach until a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns sealed the win for Cloverdale. KeyShaun Dorsey, Matthew LewHenriksen, Lucas Price, Jordan Allaire and Hussein Sabrey all turned in solid defensive efforts. The Wildcats head to South Delta Sunday where they will open the playoffs against the Rams. The Chargers o p e n t h e p l ayo f f s Sunday at 12:30 p.m. when they take on the Cloverdale Leopards at Mackin Park.
“This is my first time at the world championships so this is the biggest international stage I’ve competed on so far. I’m really excited to get out there and take on this new experience because it’s something so much bigger than what I’m used to,” said the 16-year-old Khalifa’s devotion to the sport is easy to spot. He regularly makes the one-hour trip from his home in Vancouver to the TAG Sports Centre in Port Coquitlam. “There’s no trampoline or power tumbling programs available in Vancouver. I’m really happy here and I think it’s definitely worth it,” he said.
