Bomb threat culprit online? By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

From left, Barb Henham, Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore and Debbie Murillo of the I Am Someone Society are promoting a walk to end bullying for this Sunday at Leigh Square in PoCo. The event will feature a walk, entertainment and opportunities to purchase items supporting the society to raise funds for a texting program for bullied youth. See story, page 8.

Port Moody’s Ann Kitching received city’s highest honour for efforts to advocate for the arts in the City of the Arts. Upon receiving the Freedom of the City, she advocated some more. See page 9

The Coquitlam RCMP may have identified the person responsible for phoning in a bomb threat at Gleneagle secondary last week. Cpl. Jamie Chung told The Tri-City News that police are looking into someone who claimed responsibility for the incident on social media. “Someone has been identified,” he said. “It is through social media, so it takes a few more steps to confirm.” Last week, Chung confirmed that police were aware of a Twitter account on which someone posted they were responsible for the bomb threat. A person with the handle @TheInstigate tweeted about the incident throughout the day, including one post that came in at around the same time the threat was called in to the Gleneagle office. see POSSIBLE, page 7

2.8% tax hike on homes Drop in garbage fees will offset part of Coq. rise By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The good news: Coquitlam property taxes will go up less than they did last year. The bad news: Coquitlam property taxes are still going up. On Monday, city council voted to hike property taxes by an average

of 2.42% for all classes. Property taxes for commercial property owners will go up 1.8% while taxes for residential properties will rise 2.8%. (Last year’s overall increase was 2.95%.) For those living in a home with the statistically average assessed value of $587,500, the increase will translate to around $2,927 in taxes and utilities next year, including a $57 jump in taxes plus another $13 for water and an additional $15 for sewer and

$1M plus for a new park on Burke Mountain: see article, page 4 drainage (the latter two increases are determined by MetroVancouver). But the city is claiming a net increase of $15, with council pointing to a 20% drop in garbage collection fees next year — from $349 to $279 — as a result of the new solid waste contract that begins in July 2014. As well, the city will not be han-

dling recycling collection, which is expected to be done by Multi-Material BC starting in May. Council also kept taxes under the 3% mark by not hiring the four Mounties Supt. Claude Wilcott had requested last month; Coquitlam will hire two new officers at a cost of $291,000. (Wilcott was unavailable for com-

ment on Tuesday but a police spokesperson said the detachment “appreciates the city’s support”). Council also denied a request by the city’s strategic initiatives GM to add a 1% tax hike for each of the next four years to create a new“facility periodic component replacement fund” (an account to pay for roof and boiler upgrades at city facilities); the renewal reserve will only see a $200,000 contribution next year. see ARTS REQUESTS, page 4

Reading, writing and... lifesaving at high schools Teens a first line of defence against heart attacks By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

If you suffer a heart attack in a public place in the Tri-Cities in the near future, a School District 43 high school student could save your life thanks to a new training program launched this week. On Tuesday at Port Moody secondary school, a group of Grade 10 students was given CPR training and shown how to use automatic external defibrillators (AED) with the goal of seeing some 2,500 SD43 students learn the emergency procedures each year. Sandra Clarke, executive director of the ACT (Advanced Coronary Treatment) Foundation, said SD43 has been given 40 AED training mannequins and training defibrillators thanks to funding from RBC, AstraZeneca Canada, Pfizer Canada and Sanofi while BC E m e r g e n cy H e a l t h Services and the BC Ambulance Service have provided funding and training to teachers across the district. “It’s ensuring all students are empowered to save a life,” explained Clarke, who said SD43 was one of the first districts in Canada to train Grade 10 students on CPR using the “train the trainer”model.

N o w, d e f i b r i l l a tor training will be added for students at Centennial, Dr. Charles Best, Gleneagle, Heritage Wo o d s , P i n e t r e e , Riverside, Terry Fox and Archbishop Carney secondary schools in addition to PMSS, where Tuesday’s demonstration took place in front of school trustees and other public officials. “We’re very excited. They were one of the first to start CPR [training], now they’re one of the first to start the defibrillator program,” Clarke said. Wh i l e A E D s a r e easy to use, with voice prompts and other signals informing people what to do, it helps to get some training, Clarke said, because students gain more confidence in dealing with an emergency. Her agency has dozens of success stories about teens saving a life, although the youths rarely take credit, usually saying they were just doing what their teacher told them to do, Clarke said. In fact, having students trained in CPR and the use of an AED can mean the difference in life or death for people who suffer cardiac arrest at home or in public because the quicker the procedures can be applied, the higher the survival rates. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the combination of early CPR and the use of an AED in the first few minutes can improve survival rates for cardiac arrest victims by

Arrest made in ’08 death of PoCo man By Monisha Martins BlaCk Press

DIANE STRANDBERG/ThE TRI-CITy NEwS

Charges have been laid against a 32-yearold man in the 2008 murder of a Port Coquitlam man who was stabbed and left for dead in a Pitt Meadows ditch. Maly Morn of Ottawa a p p e a r e d i n Po r t Coquitlam provincial court Monday on one count of first-degree murder and kidnapping. He is accused of stabbing Justin Aaron Yusko, 28, and dumping him on Ford Road. Yusko managed to flag down a passing motorist and was rushed to hospital, where he died of his injuries. He was identified by a friend after police released a description of his tattoos — a Chinese dragon on his right forearm and a devil’s head tattooed on his left forearm. Yusko grew up in Maple Ridge but was living in PoCo at the time of his death. He was survived by his mother and step-father. Cpl. Dominic Duchesneau, with the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Team, said Yusko and Morn knew each other through the drug trade. Morn moved to Ottawa after the murder but police arrested him on Saturday after he

Teacher tells of life-or-death moment “No pulse.” With those frightening words, Terry Fox teacher and first aid attendant Casey Kingman and three Fox PE teachers were galvanized into action. Thanks to their CPR and defibrillator train-

ing, the teachers were able to resuscitate a student who had suffered a cardiac arrest during PE. His cardiologist later told the teachers that the student would have died without their intervention and on Tuesday, the four teach-

ers — Kingman, Vern Fedorak, Brad Peterson and John Murphy — were honoured during a demonstration of defibrillator training at Port Moody secondary. Kingman said the experience was“surreal” and proved how useful

the equipment and training are. “You can use AED and CPR training anywhere,”Kingman said. According to a spokesperson from the BC Ambulance Service, paramedics attend 250,000 cardiac

returned to the Lower Mainland for a visit. “We had information that he would be in the Lower Mainland on the weekend,” said Duchesneau, adding that details about the motive will be revealed in court. Morn has a criminal record that includes a conviction for drug possession and flight from a peace officer. His arrest marks the third success for the RCMP’s Cold Case Team, which was formed in March 2012. “I want to thank the families of the victims for their patience and trust they have shown in the IHIT program. It’s their trust that motivates everyone here at IHIT to succeed,” said IHIT Insp. Wa r d Ly m b u r n e r. “Investigations are never closed. The victims of homicide are never forgotten.”

arrests in stabbing Two young offenders have been arrested in connection with a vicious stabbing last month that sent a Port Coquitlam youth to hospital. Charges of assault with a weapon and breach of a condition were laid against one of the suspects while a second person was charged with aggravated assault and two counts of breach of a condition. Because the suspects are youths, they cannot be identified and police said they will not be releasing any more information. The incident occurred at around 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 13 at the intersection of Shaughnessy Street and Lions Way. The victim was in serious condition but was expected to recover.

Tuesday, December 10, 2013 at 7pm WHERE Council Chambers, City Hall, 100 Newport Drive, Port Moody, B.C. Port Moody Council is holding a Public Hearing to consider the following proposed bylaws: 1. Proposed Bylaw: Zoning Bylaw Amendment • City of Port Moody Zoning Bylaw 1988, No. 1890, Amendment Bylaw No. 220, 2013, No. 2972 Applicant: City of Port Moody Legal: East ½ of Lot 24, Block 1, DL 202, Group 1, NWD Plan 55 and Lots 25, 26, and 27, Block 1, DL 202, Group 1, NWD Plan 55 Location: 2318 St. Johns Street (St. Andrews United Church) (see map below) LOCATION MAP - 2318 St. Johns Street

SUBJECT PROPERTY

Purpose: To amend the Zoning Bylaw definition of “temporary shelter” to allow for a temporary overnight shelter to operate for up to 62 days, between the months of October and March. 2318 St. Johns Street (St. Andrews United Church) is the only property in the City that allows for a temporary shelter. The current definition of temporary shelter limits operation to 31 consecutive days. 2. Proposed Bylaw: Zoning Bylaw Amendment Bylaw No. 219, 2013, No. 2970 Location: This is a text amendment for clarification and does not involve any specific property. Purpose: To revise the definition of Lot Width and to remove reference to Lot Depth in the Zoning Bylaw. The technical subdivision potential of lots in Port Moody is determined by meeting a minimum Lot Width and Lot Area for each zoning category. The proposed changes are intended to provide clarity for clear and consistent communication to land owners. If you believe your property is affected by these proposed bylaws, you can attend this meeting in person, or send a submission in writing. The City accepts written submissions up to the end of the Public Hearing. If you plan on sending your feedback ahead of time, email it to clerks@portmoody.ca or fax it to 604.469.4550 by 12 noon on Tuesday, December 10, 2013. Review the proposed bylaws and related information at the Development Services Department, City Hall, 100 Newport Drive, Port Moody, B.C. anytime between 8:30am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Mounties seek witness who wrote down licence in fatal Plate no. scratched into the pavement

www.tricitynews.com

days of

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Mounties are looking for a witness who wrote the licence plate number of the suspect vehicle in the pavement with a stone after last Wednesday’s fatal hitand-run in Coquitlam. Investigators noticed the writing on the sidewalk on the south section of Austin Avenue and believe the person has vital information about the crash. The incident took place at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 27 when an elderly couple were crossing Austin Avenue at Gatensbury. The victims, Juan Jose Rosales, 76, and Marta Dolores Rosales, 66, both died at the scene. Police are requesting that anyone with any information — particularly the person who wrote the licence plate number — come forward.

red Nose very busy, needs help Operation Red Nose volunteers were busy on the first weekend of the festive season, driving home more than 140 people and their vehicles last Friday and Saturday nights. And Chris Wilson, organizer of the initiative, said there appears to be stronger demand for the service this season than in past years. “It was extremely busy and we could have given even more rides if we’d had a few more volunteer teams,” he said. “The demand is even stronger this year, so we’ll need to work a little hard to recruit more volunteers for the rest of the campaign.” Operation Red Nose volunteers are tasked with driving people who have had too much to drink and their vehicles home during the holiday season. The service is offered by donation, with proceeds going to KidSport Tri-Cities, an organization that helps connect less fortunate kids with amateur sporting opportunities. Wilson said more volunteers are needed if demand is to be met. Those interested in joining Operation Red Nose should email orn@shaw. ca and can find our more information at operationrednose.com. People who are in need of the service can call 778-866-6673 and expect to wait 30 to 60 minutes to be picked up.

Armed robbery suspects sought

continued from front page

“Gleneagle Secondary School there are bombs pls evacuate now,” the person posted at around 10:20 a.m. on Thursday. A tweet several hours later said: “Sorry Gleneagle secondary school, did I scare you.” The poster also took responsibility for a similar bomb threat at a school in Ontario and on Friday was posting about an incident in Calgary. A Walmart in the United States was also targeted on the account. Investigators with the Coquitlam RCMP have been working with police in other parts of the country, including Calgary, Chung said. There is no way to verify the accuracy of the Twitter reports although The Tri-City News attempted to make contact with the author, whose page gives a location of New Brunswick (as well as a link to the RCMP website). On Monday, most of the posts on the Twitter feed had been deleted. More than 1,300 stu-

2 men held up gas station Oct. 11 By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam cops are turning to the public for help in finding two suspects who held up a gas station in October. Employees at an Esso gas station on Johnson Street at Barnet Highway were shaken but unharmed after two armed men robbed them on Oct. 11, according to Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. One of the men had a gun and the other was armed with a knife. “It is a traumatic experience when someone pulls a gun on you,” Chung said. “To have to go through something like that is very difficult.” Because the safe was on a time-lock, it could not be opened. The thieves eventually gave up and fled the scene empty-handed in a silver or possibly brown mid-2000s Chrysler 300. The first suspect is described as a male with a medium to heavy build, approximately 5’10” tall and wearing a black ski mask, a black hooded sweatshirt and sweat pants; he had bright green work gloves and was carrying a Nike backpack at the time of the robbery. The second suspect is described as a male with a slim to medium build approximately 5’8” to 5’10”; he wore a grey hooded sweatshirt, black sweat pants with white stripes and white shoes. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP and quote file number 201330332. Those who wish to provide information anonymously can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or by going to www. solvecrime.ca.

Take a walk against bullying By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A texting program that links bullied kids with resources and counsellors could be beta tested in the Tri-Cities as early as next year if funding can be arranged to support the program. And this Sunday, the community is invited to take part in the I Am Someone Walk to End Bullying to help raise cash for the program. The walk takes place Dec. 8 at Leigh Square in Port Coquitlam; it’s the second year for the event, which started in 2012 in an outpouring of support for youth after the suicide of PoCo teen Amanda Todd. The I Am Someone group was formed by Gary Mauris, a local business leader, and PoCo Mayor Greg Moore with partners the PoCo Youth Society; and since then, the fledgling group has become an official society with a mission to end bullying through cultural and legislative change as well as practi-

cal solutions, such as a texting platform. Moore said the texting platform is necessary to connect youth with resources because that’s how youth communicate, noting that similar programs exist already in the U.S. A partnership with a provider is close to being reached, he said, noting that more funding is needed to make the program a reality. He wouldn’t say how much the project will cost — except to say it will be in the six figures — but he is confident the community will come together to make it happen. He stressed the project isn’t a city initiative;

rather, businesses and community members are coming together to create the I Am Someone initiative. “Fundraising helps us to be able to do this,” Moore said. Mauris, who is promoting the Am Someone campaign using his business resources at Dominion Lending Centre, says he hopes the walk becomes an annual tradition that leaves a legacy. “We want to build on the success of our first I Am Someone Walk to End Bullying to create greater awareness of the harm of bullying. Each of us is a someone who has a role to play in end-

ing bullying.” Barb Henham, who is helping the group develop its strategic plan, said the society’s overarching goal is to create a culture in which bullying doesn’t happen and young people feel supported. “We want to create a kinder and more caring community,”she said. The texting platform is a key component of the plan whereby youth who feel vulnerable could text their concerns and someone would text back with information and links to resources in their community. Sunday’s walk is by donation and there will

be an opportunity to purchase t-shirts, pink umbrellas with the I Am Someone logo. As well, there will be an I Am Someone Kindness Tree on which people can pledge their support for youth and to end bullying. As well, the event, running, from noon to 3 p.m. (the community walk is at 1 p.m..) at Leigh Square Community Arts Village, will feature entertainment, kids’ activities and food.

PM arts advocate uses event honouring her to... advocate 6

Always Timely The round-faced watch is a stylish update

By Dan Ebenal

Half-page horizontal ad • 8.5" x 5.5" ad

Freedom of the City is the highest honour a municipality can bestow upon one of its citizens. But for Port Moody’s Ann Kitching, it was yet another opportunity in her tireless quest to promote the arts. Kitching was honoured with the Freedom of the City during a special ceremony Monday at the Inlet Theatre. And in an evening filled with tributes to her work, Kitching saved her most delighted reaction for when it was announced the city would make a donation to the arts in her name. “This is an unbelievable honour. I am so thrilled and so excited even I can’t express it and I can usually talk about most things,” said the longtime champion of the arts, before adding, “But it is something you may regret because now just think what I can do.” Kitching promised to spend the next few years helping Port Moody live up to its name as the City of the Arts. “But I can’t do it alone,” she said. “There are 75 of you sitting in this room and I know every one of you and every one of you will be working with me to make this the City of the Arts.” It was Kitching herself who played a pivotal role in Port Moody adopting the moniker and, over the years, she has played a vital part in such efforts as the Wearable Art committee, Port Moody Arts Centre, the arts and culture task force and the city’s centennial committee.

Ann Kitching, Port Moody Freedom of the City honouree, with Mayor Mike Clay on Monday. Mayor Mike Clay pointed out that Kitching has served on at least two dozen civic committees since 1998. “A n n d o e s n ’ t s i t around at home and yell at the TV set that those people at city hall don’t know what they’re doing,” said Clay. “She gets down here and makes a difference.” While the countless hours spent sitting on various boards and volunteering for numerous community events would wear out most people, Kitching wouldn’t have it any other way. “I have been blessed with unlimited energy, I must admit,”she said. The retired college administrator said Ioco Road was just “a little country lane” when she moved to Port Moody 35 years ago, falling in love with the community because of its residents. “It is a city where I think people care.” And although Kitching has shown she cares over the years, she has also served as an inspiration to those around her.

Coun. Gerry Nuttall said he was appointed chair of the arts and culture committee when he was first elected in 2002 and Kitching and some of her colleagues quickly realized he didn’t have the slightest idea about the arts. “Ann particularly took me under her wing and, over the course of the years, she’s completely converted me over to the arts in Port Moody,” Nuttall said. “When she

gets it in her mind to do something you can be pretty well assured that that project is going to get done.” Kitching said her appreciation of the arts comes from its ability to connect people. “Not everybody paints or draws or sings or dances,” she said, “but everybody has one section of the arts that they enjoy and that’s what brings people together.”

Break promise C

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

an Metro Vancouver residents — the majority of whom still drive cars — be convinced to pay more so others will take transit? Transportation Minister Todd Stone says so, although many Metro mayors are doubtful and others are, too. Last week, for example, the director of Integrity BC, the non-profit agency promoting electoral reform, wrote in The Tri-City News that studies of similar votes in the U.S. have shown the majority of these kind of referenda fail and that this one would be no exception. It’s hard to argue against Dermod Travis’ piece. Referenda are much like elections in that they need an active, engaged (read: angry) citizenry to work. Without those magic ingredients, voter turnout is low and the status quo rules the day. What is the status quo? In the Lower Mainland, it means TransLink remains short of money and can’t afford the improvements needed to get people out of their cars and onto transit. The people of the Tri-Cities and the rest of the Lower Mainland can’t afford the status quo but a referendum is likely to result in just that unless transit funding proponents can succeed in riling up the electorate. Certainly, former premier Bill Vander Zalm showed he knows a thing or two about getting people riled up, as he and his ilk did with the HST referendum. But a TransLink referendum won’t generate the same kind of visceral reaction. More money for buses?Yawn. We get that Premier Christy Clark wants to honour her election promise with a referendum on TransLink funding (while wondering why a Massey Tunnel replacement isn’t subject to such a vote). The BC Liberals learned a tough lesson during the HST fiasco about pulling a fast one on tax changes. But this might be one situation when a little leadership from the top is needed. And now that TransLink is doing a better job managing its finances, some clear financial support for the struggling authority is in order. In short, a referendum on TransLink funding is one promise Ms. Clark should break.

B.C.’s greenhouse gas trial balloon is leaking BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA n last week’s column, I described the inevitable demise of B.C.’s“carbon neutral government”scheme, which continues to take millions from hospitals and schools to fund greenhouse gas reduction projects of questionable value. It’s like the AirCare program, a pollution solution that sounded great at the time. AirCare soon found itself chasing diminishing environmental returns, made redundant by new vehicle technology and drivers’ financial need to save fuel. Public sector carbon offsets will suffer the same fate, growing as a political liability as their effectiveness declines. All this is separate from B.C.’s carbon tax and greenhouse gas-reduction program, another environmental trial balloon that is sinking back to Earth. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate

goals officially remain in place: 33% greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80% by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down but up substantially by 2020. New liquefied natural gas export proposals continue to pop up, the latest ones on former industrial sites near Squamish and Campbell River. And with the surge of LNG activity around Kitimat and Prince Rupert already changing the landscape, questions linger about the pollution and greenhouse gas impacts. As she left for the government’s largest ever trade mission to Asia, Premier Christy Clark dismissed a study that estimated the impact of three LNG plants. That study, done by Kitimat environment group Skeena Wild, assumed “direct drive”technology to chill and compress gas for export. It concluded that three plants would burn two and a half times the amount of natural gas currently used in Metro Vancouver. Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak relied on the same talking point to reject the study. The technology of powering LNG is still being negotiated as producers work to-

wards environmental permits, so the total can’t be calculated yet. BC Hydro is predicting little electricity demand for LNG until after 2020, which suggests the early development will either be direct drive — the industry standard and simplest method — or building one or more gas-fired power plants in northwest B.C. Even if gas usage is only equivalent to one Lower Mainland, it’s plain to see greenhouse gas emissions are going up. Clark has repeatedly argued that B.C. LNG should get credit for displacing coal in China and elsewhere. I asked Polak if the international community would accept B.C.’s assertion that emissions from our LNG production shouldn’t count. “We haven’t said we won’t count them,” Polak replied.“What the premier’s talked about, and I’ve talked about, is that this whole issue of how one accounts for greenhouse gases in a particular region is one that is constantly evolving. There are regularly changes to the international standards for accounting for these things and reporting them. And cer-

tainly the ability for one jurisdiction to impact positively on the GHG emissions of another we think is appropriately considered in how one accounts for these things.” Clark visited the Jiangsu LNG import facility in China that could be a key export destination. Globe and Mail China correspondent Nathan Vanderklippe covered the premier’s visit and reports that the gas being imported at Jiangsu isn’t replacing coal, it’s being used in addition to coal in peak demand periods. Clark also visited Japan, another key customer for LNG. The whole world knows why Japan needs new energy sources: to replace production from its disaster-tainted nuclear facilities. Will B.C. LNG be part of the solution to human-induced climate change? On the evidence so far, the answer is No. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and bclocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

Polish Canadian Sport & Recreation Club - Polonia invites you to:

Please, leash your pooch The Editor, I am from out of town, visiting family, and always look forward to the Tri-Cities’ wonderful parks and river walkways. Colony Farm Regional Park in Coquitlam is my favourite. How lucky are those of you who get to use these well-cared-for areas. With camera in hand, family pet on leash and well trained, both of us

Dog owners need to leash and control their pooches, says the letter writer. set off down the path at Colony Farm. Sun shin-

ing, I spot a great heron just waiting for someone like me. I see a flash out of the corner of my eye — a large dog running fullspeed at us. My family’s dog is also large and the camera flew out of my hand as it took both hands to control our dog as the other one approached. The owner of the offleash dog said “I’m so sorry” three times but

never leashed her pet. This made me take note of so many unleashed dogs. Don’t these pet owners care where their dogs dump? Do they know how lucky they are to have this park in the area? I would fine everyone who has an off-leash dog. It’s not right nor is it fair to those who ride bikes, walk or run, with or without a dog. Gloria Lewis, Kamloops

Pedestrians, drivers, be safe The Editor, Re. “Walk and watch out” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Nov. 27). I totally agree with all the points made by letter writer Erin Styles regarding being a pedestrian. I have been a pedestrian in this area for 40 years (I am also a driver). After the recent deaths of pedestrians on the crosswalks in Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam, I am wondering why we still use them. Might we be safer

Speak up! You can comment on any story you read at www.tricitynews.com

to jaywalk? When these people are struck and injured or killed, nothing happens to the drivers — the ones they find, anyway. They hit you, do their damage and drive away. One has to assume they do not

have a conscience. What a sad world. I think pedestrians have to be more proactive. Do not cross the road without making eye contact with drivers and make sure they stop before you walk. Keep your eyes open to those idiots coming around corners who do not want to stop. Do not walk with your ear buds in as you cannot hear what is going on around you. Put away the cellphones until you are safely able to play

with them. Once again, drivers, be more careful; do not text or talk on your phones — loads of you are still doing that. As well, stop for people waiting to cross the street and slow down especially in school zones. Life is too short so please be careful walking and driving. Slow down and smell the roses and have a very happy and safe Christmas. Sue Mullen, Port Coquitlam

Share asks: What help would help? Share wants input on how to help those in need By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS

People living in poverty in the Tri-Cities need more than just food handouts twice a month, argues the CEO of Share Family and Community Services, who says they also need support and new skills to help them move forward. But what skills do they need and what does support look like? Share’s Martin Wyant wants the community to answer those questions.

Share Family and Community Services and a local financial planning company are turning to hockey fans to help raise funds for the Tri-City food bank. Concept Group Financial Planning Ltd. will be raffling off a signed official NHL Sidney Crosby hockey jersey and autographed Ryan Kesler “RK17” Firstar sportswear. Tickets are $20 and available at the Concept Group offices at 2222 St. Johns St., Port Moody. For more information, call 604-939-2345. Only 1,000 tickets are available and the draw will take place Friday, Dec. 13. To date, Concept Group has raised more than $3,000 for Share through community and client donations.

Last month, Share launched its community consultation via an online survey and is also talking to staff, clients, and board members. “We want to get as

many people from the Tri-Cities in this as we can,”Wyant said. The survey asks people to rank services that Share should offer, along with other questions about the social service agency, which will form part of a business plan that will be developed in the spring for a proposed “Catalyst Centre.” With the centre, Share is looking at assigning a case manager to people who are struggling to meet their basic needs. The manager would help them develop a realistic plan for moving forward, which could include support such as finding affordable daycare or dealing with addiction. There would also be follow-up feedback and monitoring, and the clients could be asked to give back as a way to develop their own strengths, skills and con-

Giving warms the heart. Donating a coat can warm two at a time.

We would like to clarify that in the November 29 flyer, page 5, the advertised prices for TELUS Optik TV HD-PVR Digital Box / TELUS Optik TV HD Digital Box (WebID: 10193848 / 10151026) are only valid from November 29 - December 2, 2013. Also, on page 12 of the Black Weekend Wrap, the LG 42” LN5200 Series LED TV (WebID: 10273690) was incorrectly advertised as having 2x HDMI ports, when in fact it ONLY has 1. Also, on page 4, the Bose CineMate 1 SR Home Theatre System (WebCode: 10178456) was advertised at $1359.99 when in fact the correct price is $1439.99 with a TV purchase. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

Wyant said Share isn’t looking at program costs or funding sources yet but will address those issues in a business plan being developed by consultants Realize Co-op. “First of all, we want to figure out what this service might look like,” said Wyant, who noted people are, so far,“cautiously optimistic” about the idea and intrigued with the notion of people “giving back” to improve their own lives.

Now more than ever, Burquitlam needs to watch out for its interests Evergreen Line & accompanying dev’t. key issues

The Burquitlam Community Association’s annual general meeting will be held Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. at Miller Park elementary school, 800 Egmont Ave., Coquitlam. For more information on BCA, visit burquitlam.org.

For years, Burquitlam believed its voice wasn’t heard. Now, with the Evergreen Line being built straight through the neighbourhood — and high-density housing along with it — the Burquitlam Community Association (BCA) says it’s finally getting noticed. And it’s busier than ever, responding to the massive growth in the gentrifying area of west Coquitlam. “ Th e r e are s o m e weeks I put in 20 hours of volunteer time just to keep up,” BCA president Graham Hill said. “Our community is changing so fast and we have to be there for our residents and our businesses.” Over the past year, BCA has checked off many successes. City staff go to BCA to consult on planning bids more often, Hill said, and developers are also using BCA’s local expertise when designing housing projects and dealing with low-income tenants. But BCA, which has about 4,000 homes and businesses in a catchment area spanning from Austin Avenue to the Port Moody border, said its contact with the Evergreen Line project team has been limited. Monthly meetings haven’t happened, although Evergreen has said its lines are open to BCA. BCA member Don Violette said the rapidtransit route, due to open in the summer of 2016, has already had a major impact. Burquitlam Plaza retailers are suffering with a decline in shoppers and public transit users are having a tough time making their way around the construction. Lobbying efforts have fallen on deaf ears at TransLink, BCA members say. Also on BCA’s radar these days is crime, which they say is up, with theft from the community gardens, theft from vehicles and breakins, and the pending relocation of the community police station at Burquitlam Plaza. As well, Violette said Burquitlam is in dire need of a gas station since the Evergreen Line construction resulted in removal of the PetroCan, Shell and Mohawk sites around the Como Lake Avenue and Clarke Road intersection. Changes to traffic pat-

The group is looking for a new president, secretary and two directors to be on the 2014 board. “We believe we are finally making progress and we want that to continue,” Hill said. “There’s so much to do as Burquitlam evolves.”

A hundred bucks for a hot dog? [ you saw it first on the web

www.tricitynews.com

By Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

f ever a hot dog merited its own movie, the Dragon Dog would be the one. Stuffed with a bratwurst sausage, Kobe beef, fresh lobster and garlic topped with truffles and tomatoes from the south of Italy, this is not your average Ball Park Frank. So when Coquitlam filmmaker Evan Chan was coming up with ideas for his next documentary project, the Dragon Dog seemed like the perfect subject.

“I thought it was a really cool concept,”he said. “There is someone out there making a really expensive hot dog.” That“someone”is DougieLuv, aVancouver food truck operator who is the central figure in Chan’s film, Dragon Dog: The $100 Hot Dog. Throughout the 16-minute short, he exudes energy, explaining to the viewer his love for tubesteaks and the people who eat them. He also tells the story about buying two $2,600 bottles of Louis XIII cognac — an ingredient in

the Dragon Dog — at a B.C. Liquor Store when he was first perfecting the recipe. “They said,‘What’s the special occasion?’”he tells the camera.“I said,‘I’m making hot dogs with them.’” Ingredients like cognac and Kobe beef are what make the $100 Dragon Dog one of the most expensive dogs in the world. But purchasing DougieLuv’s signature menu item comes with more than just a meal. He brings the customers into his kitchen and shows them how the dog

is made before they get to sit down and enjoy it. Chan captures the full experience in his film and said it is DougieLuv’s personality that made the project a success. “He has a really interesting story,”he said.“He is very passionate about his business. It is always nice to see someone who really enjoys what they are doing.” In the film, DougieLuv explains that before he started the DougieDog food truck, he struggled with a panic disorder and anxiety. Launching his

To celebrate the launch of the documentary film, Chan and DougieLuv are holding a

contest that will give participants from anywhere in the world the opportunity to try the Dragon Dog. Contestants are being encouraged to post their story on the DougieDog Facebook page explain-

Say goodbye to pain. Experience the benefits of

What our patients say... Ankle and Foot “Laser treatment for my foot and ankle injury (ligaments & tendons) was a success after 3 years of trying other treatments which failed.” EA (85) Headache & Neck Pain “Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severe neck pain. I had approximately 18 treatments and no longer suffer neck pain - it is truly a miracle.” Patsy Bernstein (58) Arthritis Both Knees “I have been suffering from knee pain for several years. I tried a number of other treatments to no avail. I am more than pleased with the results of laser light as my pain has reduced significantly.” William Jack (63) Shoulder Pain “I had frozen shoulder that limited my mobility. After 9 treatments of laser therapy my shoulder has gained back almost all mobility. There is no pain or discomfort with the treatments.” J.L. (48) Neck pain for 20 years “I had tried so many other procedures before so I thought I’d give laser light a try as all others had failed. After a few sessions I was surprised from the relief I got. I would highly recommend this procedure as a solution, it really works.” D.D. (69)

Plantar Fasciitis “I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur on my heel. I have been going for 4 weeks now and am almost all the way healed. The treatments are painless.” J.M. (52) Hip Replacement “After having a hip replacement, I have lived with constant pain for 4 years. After having laser treatment, I feel like a new person.” V.W. (84) Knee Pain “...after just 7 sessions, I feel much better. I can now walk and go up and down stairs without pain at the end of the day.” G.L. (48) Severe Back Pain “After a CT scan of my low back, I was diagnosed with: • Lumbar disc bulges L2 L3 L4 L5 • Pars defect with anterolisthesis • Central canal spinal stenosis • Scoliosis My doctor recommended surgery. Fortunately, I was recommended to try Laser Therapy – what a blessing! After 10 treatments, I am able to walk pain free. What a relief!” M.B. (71) Foot Pain Due to Fracture “...my mobility has returned and the pain has gone!” D.B. (55)

Laser Light Therapy Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Neck Pain for 10 Years “After just 6 treatments the pain was gone and I could turn my neck freely. the difference was so huge, I couldn’t believe it!” M.R. (46) Knee Pain for 30 Years “I feel rejuvenated at 52, cycling regularly and ready to take on more physical challenges. Thanks to this amazing therapy!” Bill (52) Hip Flexor Ligament Torn “I would recommend this to anybody who is tired of wasting time with methods of recovery that don’t work, or you just want to get better faster.” RL (13) Cold Sore “I hadn’t been aware of laser for such an application, but I was delighted to see visible improvement after one treatment, and after the second, it was gone!” C.M. (64) Shoulder & Arm Pain “...the benefit to my shoulder is so surprising that I am continually moving, stretching my arm just to prove to myself that I am not imagining what I am feeling and doing. Moving without pain! That is something to be happy about.” A.B. (58)

Painful Hamstring “With the laser treatment, my hamstrings aren’t tight anymore, I have much more flexibility.” S.B. (29) Inguinal Hernia Post Surgery “I found the treatments alleviated acute pain after a hernia operation. I would recommend the procedure to anyone with pain or scars” GPA (55) Frozen Shoulder Tendonitis “I began a series of treatments on my shoulder and neck which I found to be relaxing and non-invasive. Ultimately I regained, almost completely, mobility in my left shoulder.” A.L. (69) Neck Pain “Even after the first session of cold laser therapy, I felt the difference right away.” M.E. (54) Thigh Pain “I no longer have pain from my hip to the knee. This is such a miracle for me and I highly recommend it. It’s FABULOUS!” C.B. (61) Cold Sore “On the fourth day, I had my 3rd and final 30 minute treatment. The outbreak was finished and my lip felt and looked good as new.” William (52)

HOW IT WORKS

Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. When placed in contact with the skin, this energy safely penetrates the tissue. At an intracellular level, the light is transformed into biochemical energy. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

WHO CAN BENEFIT?

BioFlex Low Intensity Laser Therapy is an effective solution for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions, dermatological problems and the healing of open wounds. BioFlex therapy can safely increase the rate of recovery and help patients reduce the need for pain medication. BioFlex also has the ability to promote rapid recovery post surgery. The beneficial effects of LILT are cumulative over the course of a series of treatments.

Theme: no theme A GOOD READ Sharon Visser

never read according to theme so I never use a theme for my book reviews. Here goes: • Where’dYou Go Bernadette? by Maria Semple: A quirky and fun tale, this book tells us all about the life and times of Bernadette Fox, mother, brilliant architect and a woman with an increasing case of agoraphobia. Bernadette’s beloved daughter Bee aces her report card and lets her family know that she intends to take her parents up on her promised reward — a family trip to Antarctica. Bernadette is thrilled for Bee but is less pleased for herself as she hates leaving the house. Bernadette’s allergy to the outside world slowly increases until her virtual personal assistant, located in India, is doing the most basic tasks for her. Unfortunately for Bernadette, her virtual assistant can’t go on this trip in her place. Something big needs changing in Bernadette’s life but how will the change affect her and her family? Read this entertaining novel when you’re in the mood for something fun. • Rush of Blood by Mark Billingham: Three English couples meet while on vacation in Florida and while they don’t have much in common, they bond over good times in the sun.Tragedy strikes on the last day of their holiday. A young girl,

also staying at the resort with her mother, goes missing. All three couples are shaken my the mother’s understandable fear and, on that note, their vacation ends. Because they had got along so well while away, and because they all live near each other, the three couples decide to meet for a dinner party a few weeks after returning home. Inevitably, the subject of the young girl comes up. They each discuss their memories and talk about where they were when she went missing. Over the next couple of months, they meet two more times, each time discussing the crime and each time new evidence is revealed.This is a classic whodunnit and is great for mystery fans. • Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann: This is an interesting book that ties together a group of very different people using an amazing incident: a man walking across a wire between NewYork’s twin towers.The first group of stories details the life

of Corrigan, a radical, young, Irish priest who ministers to a group of prostitutes in a very bad part of NYC.The story then goes on to a group of mothers who have lost their sons in theVietnam war. From there, we learn about the life and times of a young artist, and after that we hear about a judge.These disparate stories end up beautifully woven together in this excellent book that will stay with you long after you’ve finished it. • Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss: This non-fiction book takes a critical look at the power the fast food giants have over the consumer.The amount of research fast food companies have done on what makes salt, sugar and fat so irresistible is mind-boggling. This book then discusses what these companies have done with this information. We all know that large amounts of fast food are bad for us but we eat ourselves sick anyway.This book doesn’t remove blame from the individual but it does highlight the amount of money thrown at these food products to get us to spend our limited food dollars on them. It is not the most festive book but I think it’s a valuable read and great for anyone interested in food science or marketing.

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

XMAS HELP

Last year, Share Family and Community Services packed Christmas food hampers at the former Andrés Wines warehouse in Port Moody. This year, Share has moved its holiday packing to a smaller space on the Riverview Hospital grounds and is asking people to donate cash or gift cards to support the holiday toy shop program because it doesn’t have the space to store toys. Gift cards will be distributed through the annual toy shop program now registering at locations in Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam. (Share will still 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. More information can be found at www. sharesociety.ca or by emailing valerie.hutton@ sharesociety.ca.You can also donate on the website by clicking the Donate Now button.

Families may register at Port Moody Pacific Grace MB/Chinese Church rear downstairs at 2622 St. John’s St., Port Moody (across the alley from the Share Food Bank) through Dec. 13. Registrants must apply in person with current I.D. and the following: • proof of address, such as a rental agreement or a recent utility bill; • CareCards and/or Immigration Cards for all members of the family; • income source, such as a cheque stub from MSD, EI, CPP/OAS, WCB (no means test required, source of income is used for tracking purposes only).

record donations at the front counter, answer phones, photocopy and other office duties. • Christmas hamper packing: Put together food hampers of different sizes (must be able to lift heavy boxes). • Food sorting: Sort food donations into categories; work Involves organizing food donations, labelling and weighing food, lifting and carrying boxes, maintaining a clean work area and recycling boxes. • Truck drivers: Pick up food and toy donations, load and unload food boxes, ensure trucks are in good condition and assist with stocking and inventory. • Toy shop: Sort and process toy donations (this is a warehouse environment and does require some heavy lifting); volunteers are also needed to assist families during the Toy Shop visits. To volunteer, call Heather at 604-931-2451 or email heather.stacey@ sharesociety.ca. For more information, go to www. sharesociety.ca

Presents of Peace

Y W CA M e t ro Vancouver is seeking sponsors to provide food and gift hampers to low-income single parent-led families this holiday season. YWCA’s Presents of Peace holiday hamper program has been matching donors with low-income families since 1997 and is an opportunity for a family or a group of friends or co-workers to give back during the season of giving. Sponsors are matched with a lowincome families and provided with their “wish list.” Sponsors then shop for gifts and deliver the hamper to the family’s home. “It was a miracle to open the gifts on Christmas Day,” said Minna, a hamper recipient last year. “No one understands the guilt a parent feels when you cannot provide gifts for your child at Christmas time. The Presents of Peace was a godsend. I cannot stop smiling when I think about it.” Y W CA M e t ro Vancouver is a registered charity, providing a range of integrated services for women and their families, and those seeking to improve the quality of their lives. From early learning and care to housing, health and fitness, employment services and leadership. For more information or to register, go to ywcavan.org/pop or call the POP hotline at 604-895-5783.

Pick an angel, make child’s wish come true The search is on for angels to help brighten the holidays for some TriCities youngsters. Local Va n c i t y branches are kicking off the annual Angel Tree gift-giving program to help bring the holiday spirit to the community.

“We’re thrilled to be hosting the Angel Tree program once again this year, in partnership with the Tri-City Transition Society, to help share the holiday spirit with local kids,” said Tony Ciulla, branch manager, Vancity Shaughnessy

Station branch. Through Dec. 13, Vancity branches in the Tri-Cities will put up Angel Trees decorated with inscribed paper angels carrying a wish by a child, many of whom might otherwise not get a visit from Santa Claus

this holiday season. Vancity members and the public are then invited to come into one of the branches, choose an angel from the tree and fulfill a child’s wish by leaving an unwrapped gift under the Angel Tree. Tri-City Transitions

Three artists’ eyes on PoCo By Janis Warren

The Tri-CiTy NeWs

bout three years ago, when Port Coquitlam resident Michael King was in France, all he wanted to do was paint the picturesque surroundings. The artistic European experience got King to think: “Why don’t I do this at home, too?” Then, last year, as a way to mark PoCo’s 100th anniversary in 2013, King drew up a submission to exhibit some of his oil paintings of PoCo city scenes and landscapes. Municipal staff liked his idea; however, they also asked him to make the display into a group show for the centenary. And so Denise Maxwell, a graphic designer and fellow oil painter who King had met a year earlier, and textile artist Catherine Dumaine — a Place des Arts’ faculty member — were invited to showcase their versions of PoCo as well. The results are now on the walls at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village in an exhibition titled An Artist’s View of Port Coquitlam, which officially opens on Saturday. Their pieces are spread over two buildings: the larger ones in The Gathering Place — including King’s Strolling Down Main Street and Grazing — while the smaller art including 54 works measuring 8” by 8” are in the Outlet. And next to many of the artworks are Google maps as a way to identify the location of each scene. An industrial designer by trade, King said he has seen PoCo change significantly since he moved to the city 11 years ago. “I think it’s changed for the better,” he said. “When I first got here, I stayed away from the downtown because it didn’t seem like a community to me. There was the Golden Ears Hotel at the time. Now that’s gone, there seems to be more pride in the area.” King said his travels in France opened his eyes to what’s in his backyard. “I believe the more you live in a place, the less you ‘see’ of it and that’s not always a good thing. Port Coquitlam is a beautiful place and it should be celebrated.” • The opening reception for An Artist’s View of Port Coquitlam is on Saturday, Dec. 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Leigh Square Community Arts Village (behind PoCo city hall). There will be a live musical performance by Charles Wes & Avery Croft as well as refreshments. The exhibit runs until Jan. 13. jwarren@tricitynews.com

First public performance for Coquitlam Youth Orchestra

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Junior violinists Ricky Lau and Nathan Cushion, both 11 of Coquitlam, rehearse for their concert.

For the past three months, some 65 young classical musicians from the Tri-Cities, Maple Ridge, Surrey and Burnaby have met every Friday in the back of Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre. They practise in the rehearsal hall, honing their skills, learning how to play as a group and taking direction from the conductor, Reg Quiring. And the experience has been exciting for the members of the Coquitlam Youth Orchestra, which launched in September after Quiring put out a call in June for auditions. On Saturday, the youth will be put to the test when they host their first public performance. The junior section will tackle an ar-

rangement of the 4th movement of Brahms’s 1st symphony, the Tchaikovsky Sleeping Beauty Waltz and a D-minor concerto grosso by Vivaldi; the seniors, on the other hand, will attempt two movements from Haydn’s Symphony #99, two movements from The Nutcracker and the last movement of Shostakovich Symphony #5. Port Coquitlam’s Rachel Goetz, whose daughters — Connie on flute and Heidi on cornet — are in the junior orchestra, said she appreciates having the group so close to home. Last year, she and Connie commuted every week for practices with the SurreyYouth Orchestra’s chamber music ensemble.

“It gives them a chance to play music with kids their own age,” said Goetz, who also teaches piano to her girls. Quiring, a violist, said the first term of the CoquitlamYouth Orchestra has been fun. “I have noticed friendships forming and generally positive feelings all around,” he said. “The kids are all great and I’ve become quite attached to the whole thing. The kids are all rising to the challenges with pride.” • Tickets at $10/$5 for the Coquitlam Youth Orchestra concert on Dec. 7 at 1 p.m. are available at Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam).

Jazz piano, Celtic fiddle for untraditional holiday show By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Jesse Peters promises not to bring a “cheesy” Christmas concert to his Coquitlam audience this week. Rather, his show will include jazz-inspired original and cover seasonal songs — some of them from his new holiday album, I’ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm, which was released on Sunday — as well as more traditional tunes courtesy of Celtic fiddler Lizzy Hoyt. The Calgary-based crooner and pianist said December can sometimes be an easy time for

entertainers “to just dial it in” but, to break away from stale performances, “you have to really dedicate yourself to the material and go in with fresh ears and a different mindset for each show,” he said. “You have to bring that passion to each experience.” This month, Peters has a few dates leading up to Christmas, with three stops in Alberta and two in B.C., including at the Evergreen Cultural Centre on Friday. His Coquitlam concert will be the biggest city he’ll play in December. But Peters said he likes touring

the smaller towns. “They’re a blast because they really get behind the shows,” he said. “The houses are usually full and there is a sense of familiarity to them. “They tend to know each other and are comfortable — and that helps to bring them into the musical experience.” • Strings and Swing, Our Favourite Things runs Friday, Dec. 6 at 8 p.m. at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). Tickets at $35/$30/$15 are available by calling the box office at 604-927-6555 or visiting evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

For its show at the Evergreen Cultural Centre on Saturday, the Pacific Symphonic Wind Ensemble (PSWE) will give the audience what it wants. At last month’s recital, American Masterworks, the group had polled the crowd for its favourite pieces PSWE had performed at the Coquitlam venue it calls home. And seven of those works that lEnnox won the most votes will be played at Whatever?! on Dec. 7 at 8 p.m.; however, the titles of those pieces won’t be revealed until then. “The content of the program is a secret for now,” said conductor David Branter, PSWE’s musical director and a Vancouver Community College instructor. In fact, PSWE rehearsed eight audience pleasers for Whatever?! as two tunes had the same count; as a result, Saturday’s crowd will pick which one will be heard. Still, while the second half of the program will be light with band standards, marches and medleys, the first half will have a more serious tone with a concerto played by an emerging artist. A fifth-year student at the UBC School of Music majoring in trumpet performance, Andrew Lennox was named this year’s youth soloist in the 11th annual competition sponsored by PSWE. Lennox’s credits include: the UBC-based brass quintet Echo Brass, the Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra, the Vancouver Oratorio Society, the West Coast Symphony and the VancouverYouth Orchestra.

Rams ground Ravens to retain B.C. crown By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Terry Fox Ravens quarterback Conner McKee said getting the opportunity to play in the high school football provincial championship on Saturday night was “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” His coaches hope he is wrong about that. As a Grade 11 student, McKee is one of several players on the team that will be returning next year. And with the experience garnered on their way to the AAA football finals, co-coach Tom Kudaba expects good things from his squad in the 2014 season. “We have a good group here,” he said after his club fell 32-27 to the Mount Douglas Rams under the dome at B.C. Place Stadium. “We have a lot of good players coming up, too.” Saturday night was a disappointing loss for the Ravens, who despite a sluggish start were able to make the towering Rams earn every point they scored. Terry Fox’s offence sputtered out of the gates, with McKee getting sacked hard on the first two plays of the game. The Rams were able to put up points as soon as they got the ball back, with running back Marcus Davis capping the first drive with a 23yard touchdown to make it 6-0. Davis was unstoppable on Saturday, scoring three touchdowns in the game and making a crucial interception in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter to end the Ravens’ chances of a comeback. He was named game MVP for his efforts. After the Rams drew first blood, the Ravens regained their composure, but still struggled to find the end zone. A second touchdown from Mount Douglas

Douglas Rams. quarterback Ashton MacKinnon, who at 6’7” only needed to fall forward to gain yards, made it 12-0 for the Rams. But the Ravens were undeterred. After receiver Keishon Ross managed to get the ball to the Rams’ 29 yard line, McKee handed it off to running back Mike West, who got his team on the board with a touchdown with two minutes left in the first half. A successful con-

vert closed the score to 12-7 in favour of Mount Douglas. “It was a battle out there,” said West, who is also expected to return next season. “We had to fight for every inch.” The Ravens touchdown seemed to bolster the team’s confidence, despite the fact Mount Douglas scored on the next drive. Terry Fox managed to close the gap further when running back Jericho Mendez punched in a

touchdown to make it 19-14. Both teams exchanged scores in the second half, but late in the fourth quarter the Ravens appeared poised to take the lead. At 32-27, McKee orchestrated a drive that got his team within striking distance of the end zone, however, all hopes for a comeback were dashed with Davis’ interception. “I’m glad we hung in there,” coach Kudaba

said. “They wanted to win real bad. This stuff happens.” Terry Fox’s hopes of repeating as provincial junior champs were dashed Saturday as the Junior Ravens were upset 28-0 by the St. Thomas More Junior Knights. The Junior Ravens upended the Knights 14-6 in the final week of the regular season and stopped them 14-7 in last year’s title game. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Goalkeeper duel ends in draw A goaltending duel ended in a 1-1 draw between the Port Moody Redcaps and CCB Tigers in boys U16 Division 1 soccer Saturday. Alex Brown controlled the back end and thwarted numerous Tiger attacks throughout the game. Scott Gaudette went above the crowd to connect with a Yutaka Yen corner kick and stake the Redcaps to a 1-0 lead. Anton Pisaryk, Tony Blazevic, Kieran Maurice and Rory McKay had excellent chances to extend the Redcaps’ lead but were denied by the CCB keeper. Brown also made numerous saves in the second half before the Tigers were able to

get the equalizer in the final 30 seconds. Arash Borairi, Brad Gregory and Joseph Moon also had strong games. A strong team effort helped the Port Moody Quicksilver to their first win of the year on Sunday. E l l i e L a n g r wa s unbeatable in the Quicksilver net as Port Moody stopped the Langley FC Jaguars 1-0 in U17 girls Division 2 action. Leading scorer Vanessa Velo capitalized on a penalty kick for the game’s only goal. Langr came up with big stops on a pair of free kicks from the top of the Quicksilver box in the second half. Captain

Jenna Jessa along with Pareesa Kassam, Kailyn Babey and Lori Jiang turned in strong defensive performances for the Quicksilver whose lineup remains depleted by injury. Th e C M F S C U 1 2 Renegades continued their dominant defensive play with a 3-0 win over the West Coast Wolves in Pitt Meadows. Claudia Carbone opened the scoring in the first half, with Ava Mongrain and Chanelle Prestia finding the goal in the second half. Strong defensive efforts by Laura Marshall and Milena Wilson helped Diana Emelianova record her second straight shutout.

Santa Train Pulls

Express win two out of three for Local Food Banks By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

The BCHL’s most explosive attack was doused in an afternoon drizzle Sunday in Nanaimo. The Nanaimo Clippers hammered the Express 8-1 Sunday afternoon to end Coquitlam’s hopes of a six-point weekend. Zach Hodder had the lone goal for the Express, who trailed 2-0 after one and 4-1 heading into the final period. “We just ran out of steam,” head coach Barry Wolfe said of the loss that ended a stretch of four games in five nights. “It was a big emotional win Saturday night and I just think we came out a little flat and just couldn’t recover.” Captain Ryan Rosenthal capped off Saturday’s effort, netting his second of the game in overtime to lift the Express over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 5-4. “He made a great play, drove wide and got the puck to the net and put it in,” said Wolff. John Sanders, Jackson Cressey and Joey Santucci also scored Saturday, with Pierce Dushenko turning aside 37 shots. Alberni Valley outshot the Express 41-31 but all five shots in overtime belonged to Coquitlam. Santucci provided the offensive spark Friday night, netting a hat trick in the first five minutes of a 9-6 win over the visiting Surrey Eagles. “We got out to a great start. It was important because Wednesday [7-5 loss to the Eagles] we didn’t have a great

start,” said Wolff. “We scored a lot early and then kind of let them back in a bit.” Canon Pieper scored twice for the Express, with Marc Biega chipping in a goal and three assists and Rosenthal adding a goal and a pair of helpers. Jackson

Cressey and Adam Rockwood rounded out the scoring for Coquitlam. Gordie Defiel turned aside 27 shots. The Express are back on the ice tonight (7:30 p.m.) when they take on the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings.

Prince George sits eight points ahead of the Express in the BCHL Mainland Division. “We play them twice [Friday at 7 p.m.] so those are huge fourpoint games. It’s important for us to win those at home,” said Wolff. sports@tricitynews.com
