Crowdsourcing has brought the world the Pebble “smart” wristwatch, the Form 1 3D printer and a Veronica Mars movie for fans of the spunky, small-screen teen detective.

And while gawker. com’s infamous “crackstarter”campaign failed to secure a video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack, a Tri-City mayor is hoping crowdsourcing can help with a charitable campaign of his own. Port Coquitlam’s Greg Moore has started a crowdsourced fundraising campaign to cover the rent costs for a single homeless person. see ‘CHANGE’, page 4

Flash of Fox inspiration By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Jamie McDonald (left), who ran across Canada spurred on by the inspiration of Terry Fox, poses with Fred Fox and the Terry Fox statue at the Port Coquitlam hometown hero’s namesake secondary school, where he spoke to students last Friday.

erry Fox inspired charity runner Jamie McDonald. So McDonald returned the favour, sharing that inspiration and Terry’s can-do spirit last Friday morning with students at the Port Coquitlam hero’s namesake school. Dressed in a Flash superhero costume, the affable Brit used humour and stories of hardship and endurance to encourage Terry Fox secondary school students to do what they love and not give up, but give back. “If we do that, we’re going to change the world,” McDonald told hundreds of attentive students. With videos of his various exploits punctuating his hour-long presentation, McDonald described how he raised

Superhero went wrong way continued from front page

“Sometimes, the world just slaps you in the face,” McDonald joked. His presentation included gripping moments from a previous adventure, a 14,000 km bicycle tour from Bangkok to his hometown of Gloucester, U.K., where he was arrested, slept rough and was even caught in a gun battle on the Afghanistan border. McDonald, who spent much of his childhood in and out of hospitals because of a rare spinal condition, said one of his motivations is giving back to the caregivers who supported him when he was a kid and seeing the smiles on children’s faces when he wears his superhero costume. McDonald said he wants to help“make the care better and stop the hurt from happening.” Terry Fox was his biggest inspiration, especially during more difficult days during his cross-Canada run when he had to persevere despite agonizing tendonitis. He was an “amazing human being,” McDonald said of Fox, who died of cancer in 1981

before he could complete his cross-Canada run, but who still inspires millions to raise funds for cancer research every year. Much of McDonald’s cross-Canada tour was on major highways, where he slept in a small tent on the side of the road. In one hilarious video, McDonald flips out after running in the wrong direction for five miles. “Everyone does that,” McDonald said, as he called on the students to not give up even in the face of mistakes and challenges. Fox sibling Fred Fox was on hand for the presentation and told McDonald he had been following his progress with interest. “You show all the characteristics Terry had,” Fox told McDonald.

Celebrating Russia and Olympics Coq. restaurant is watching Sochi By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS

A Coquitlam restaurant will be a local Olympic headquarters for the next several days as Russian expatriates celebrate the Winter Games in Sochi. Russian House owners Nikolay Tsvetkov and wife Tatyana Tsvetkova said they feel a strong sense of pride that Russia is hosting the Olympics. “It’s a big responsibility,” Tsvetkov said. The couple is originally from Kazakhstan, formerly a Soviet republic, and the two say they have divided loyalties when it comes to watching the athletes perform.

In their hearts, they say, they want Russians to win gold but if no Russians have a chance at the podium, then they will root for Canadians. “If not Russia, of course Canada,” Tsvetkov said. Hockey is one of the most important sports to watch for the couple, who immigrated to Canada 12 years ago, and they’ll have the restaurant’s TVs tuned to the Bolshoy Ice Dome and Shabya Arena on Russia’s Black Sea Coast for all the contests. Tsvetkova said she’ll also be watching the figure skating competition and hoping for gold for 31-year-old veteran Evgeni Plushenko, who won the Russia’s first gold medal Sunday night in the new event of team figure skating,

with Julia Lipnitskaia. The restaurant (www. russian-house.com) in Austin Heights held a party last Friday night to celebrate the Sochi Olympics, with dozens of guests hailing from all corners of the former Soviet republic, including Russia and the Ukraine. Food served included Georgian chicken, Siberian pelmeny, cabbage roles and perogies, among other delicacies. The pair, both musicians, said the evening was to include traditional and modern singing and dancing, and a performance by a Russian children’s choir was planned. The restaurant regularly hosts special events and weddings for people of all nations from the former Soviet republic. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Charged in Merritt

Two Coquitlam men and a Surrey resident will be back before a judge next month after allegedly threatening a driver at gunpoint in Merritt. Edward Soviak, 24, and Tyler Grieve, 27, both from Coquitlam, as well as Mark K ra l j ev i c, 2 4 , o f Surrey, were in court last Tuesday facing charges of assault with a weapon. RCMP claim the trio was in a Black Lincoln Navigator when they pulled up alongside a driver, who was leaving a friend’s house. When the driver noticed the backseat passenger was masked with a balaclava and directing a shotgun at him, he put his car in reverse, drove away and called for help. Police tracked down the vehicle and its occupants a short time later. “It appears that the three suspects mistook the victim for another Merritt resident known to police,” said Const. Tracy Dunsmore of Merritt RCMP in a news release.

$1.5M for Coquitlam Coquitlam hit the jackpot last week with a $1.5-million payout as host city to the casino on United Boulevard. And the most recent quarter includes the opening days for the rebranded Hard Rock Casino Vancouver. City staff say the municipality collected $1,564,520 as part of its 10% cut of net profits for Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2013. The Hard Rock Casino Vancouver, formerly Boulevard Casino, launched on Dec. 20. The windfall brings the city’s total casino revenues to around $97 million since the gaming facility opened in 2002. The city spends the money on major capital programs and projects for non-profit groups. jwarren@tricitynews.com

‘Change someone’s life’ continued from front page By Tuesday afternoon, the Homes for Good Ending Homelessness Society campaign on FundRazr (fundrazr.com) had raised $1,160 towards a $6,800 goal, up from $20 just a few hours earlier. (Crowdsourcing has become a popular online method of raising money for charities and businesses. Kickstarter.com and indiegogo.com are two well-known crowdsourcing websites.) Moore said he started the online campaign on the weekend and took advantage of some downtime on an airline flight to Charlottetown, P.E.I. to stir up some interest via email. “It’s going to be fun to see if I can challenge myself and our community through crowdsourcing to see if we can get enough money to house somebody,” Moore said from a Federation of Canadian Municipalities sustainability conference in the maritime city. “If you get enough people doing this,

HAVE A HEART, TAKE A SWIM

You can take a dip in Port Coquitlam’s indoor pool on Valentine’s Day to help raise $10,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The city will host its Strokes for Heart swim-athon at the Hyde Creek rec centre (1379 Laurier Ave.) on Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Individual participants and teams of four can sign up to swim the lengths for an hour for $25 per person while school teams can suit up for $2 per person. Register by Thursday to book a time slot. For more information, call Delaney Kitching, aquatics recreation programmer, at 604-927-7955 or email kitchingd@portcoquitlam.ca. you can change someone’s life.” He should know. The Homes for Good Society is currently housing two families — eight people in all — with funds raised from the community. Moore said it costs about $6,800 to top up monthly housing allowances for 18 months — the length of time it takes a homeless person to get back on their feet. Working with the New View Society and other agencies, Homes for Good identifies people needing

help and then tops up their rent cheque. One of the families helped by Homes for Good was living in a car on the north side of Port Coquitlam until one of the society’s directors knocked on the window to see what the organization could do to help.

Now, the family is in stable housing and the children continue to attend school. With more money, the Homes for Good could house even more people from the Tri-Cities, Moore said, including those who are currently using the temporary bridge shelters run by the Hope for Freedom Society. If just 136 people gave $50 each, Moore said, someone’s life would change forever.

MICHELLE LARK PHOTOS

Hockey day in Poco A pond â€” a large puddle, really â€” at the end of the Mary Hill Bypass in Port Coquitlam (near the Pitt River Bridge) has been attracting hockey players for years when weather is frigid enough, long enough to freeze the water. That was the case on the weekend, when PoCo resident Michelle Lark snapped these images of pucksters playing in the cold. Still, be aware that authorities warn people to be careful of frozen bodies of water as the ice is often not thick enough to support their weight.

Experts are battling growing online crime By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Online privacy and security experts gathered in Victoria last week to share strategies to protect computer networks they say are â€œunder attack like never before.â€? Charles Wordsworth, technology security consultant and vice-president of Privacy and Access Council of Canada, said the days of teenage computer hackers making mischief have been replaced by organized crime, much of it based in Eastern Europe. A key concern is breaking into computer networks that collect personal information. The attraction is simple, Wordsworth said. Online criminals work in secret, with little risk to them as they search for weaknesses. â€œYou donâ€™t get shot robbing online banks,â€? Wo r d s w o r t h s a i d . â€œUnfortunately from my experience, the hackers are getting smarter, they

have more money than anybody else, so therefore they can hire people who are a lot smarter than the people who develop the applications.â€? B.C. and other governments increasingly use web applications for access to their programs. B.C. Auditor General Russ Jones reported last week on security deficiencies, calling on the province to require better security measures from contractors who develop websites used by government. One recent example of a preventable breach was in Alberta, where 620,000 medical records were taken along with a laptop computer owned by a private medical clinic with 25 outlets in the province. Sharon Polsky, CEO of Privacy and Access Council of Canada, said encryption is simple now and should be required of all government contractors. She said protection has to be built in at the beginning, and

all employees and contractors with access to personal data should be trained to protect it. While there isnâ€™t much the average person can do to protect against institutional data breaches, there are simple precautions everyone can take. The conference

was organized by the Vancouver and Victoria chapters of ISACA (Information Systems Au d i t a n d C o n t ro l Association) an independent industry group with members in 180 countries (info: www. bcaware.ca). tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Chamber applauds regs By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is welcoming the province’s efforts to reduce costs and red tape for small businesses in a new extended producer responsibility program for consumer packaging slated to take effect in May. New regulations announced last week exempt some categories of small businesses from the obligation of assuming responsibility for the recycling of their packaging and printed paper under the BC Recycling Regulation. Businesses that are exempt include those that have less than $1 million in revenue, produce less than a tonne of consumer packaging and are not part of a franchise but operate as a single point of retail sale. “From a red-tape perspective, we applaud that it’s only affecting the big players,” said Bryan Hyndman, chair of the chamber’s policy committee. The local chamber was part of a lobbying effort by the BC Chamber of Commerce to have small businesses exempted from having to sign on as a steward with Multi-Material B.C.,

NEW RECYCLING REGS More information is available at www.multimaterialbc.ca which would have required them to file a recycling plan and pay fees for paper and other consumer packaging that ends up in the residential waste stream. Some of the types of packaging for which industry stewards are responsible include flyers, bank statements, cardboard, cold drink cups and anything that is used to protect, contain or transport a substance and ends up in consumers’ hands (more information is available at www.multimaterialbc. ca).

RESOURCES

Hyndman said small business owners lack the resources to be able to handle the extra paperwork and operate on such small margins that fees would be an onerous cost. He also speculated that some larger businesses may also balk at the measures if they can’t find a way to absorb the costs. Ken Doty, owner of Sandpiper Signs and Decals in Coquitlam, is

one of the businesses that will benefit from the new regulation announced by Minister for Small Business Naomi Yamamoto. Sandpiper would have had to comply under the original regulations that stipulated a $750,000 revenue cap and said he appreciated the chamber’s efforts on his behalf. The new regulations mean only about 3,000 of B.C.’s 385,000 businesses will have to sign on as stewards with MMBC. But low-volume producers that generate between one and five tonnes of consumer packaging will have a streamlined process and flat fees. They will still need to register with the MMBC WeRecycle portal and sign a membership agreement by May 31.

SUPPORT

Allen Langdon, managing director for MMBC, said much work still needs to be done to get the program in place by May. MMBC expects to generate about $85 million in

revenues from packaging producers, including newspaper companies and grocery stores, which will be used to pay municipalities to collect recyclables or to hire contractors to pick them up. According to Langdon, B.C. is the fourth province in Canada to establish a program where producers are made responsible for packaging. “I think there is widespread support,” he said. “This is a way to put a price on it and have producers manage those costs.” Although there may be some initial work on the part of producers to comply with regulations (fees are assessed by weight), Langdon said the task will become easier in future years. Meanwhile, MMBC is working to get a contractor to deal with Coquitlam’s recycling but has chosen to work with Encorp to handle glass and other recyclables that won’t be collected at curbside. Langdon said consumers will be able to drop off more varieties of recycling such as soft plastics, polystyrene and aluminum foil at the Return-It depots on Barnet Highway and Lougheed Highway. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

A new study shows the weekday traffic peak over the new Port Mann Bridge is now at 7 a.m.; previously, the peak was at 6 a.m. as commuters had to leave home earlier to get to work on time.

Port Mann bridge traffic dip ‘temporary,’ says minister Revenue estimates for the Port Mann Bridge have been cut by 20% for the next three years, but the $3 toll that took effect Jan. 1 will stay in place. Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Todd Stone released a traffic study last Friday showing average weekday vehicle traffic down 3% this January compared to January 2013, when tolls were $1.50 and work continued to complete the 10lane structure. The study shows the share of truck traffic on the Port Mann is up 3.8% for January, despite the toll increase. Weekday truck traffic on the non-tolled Pattullo and Alex Fraser bridges is up 1.6%, contradicting the popular idea that the

TRI-CITIES RIDGE MEADOWS BRIDAL SHOWCASE

tolls have caused an exodus of commercial trucks to other bridges. Stone said the change in revenue projections is mainly due to a recalculation of the baseline used in previous forecasts. Traffic over the Port Mann declined before the new bridge opened, due to a lingering recession, and recovery has led to truck traffic being up on all bridges, he said. Jordan Bateman, B.C.

The study shows the Port Mann traffic peak is now at 7 a.m., where it was 6 a.m. before as commuters had to start earlier.

New approach

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

t is said the definition of insanity is to repeat the same behaviour over and over again and expect a different result. So it should come as no surprise the shambolic state our criminal justice system is in, especially when it comes to dealing with chronic offenders. The approach of the Canadian justice system is almost entirely focussed on investigating crimes, prosecuting those responsible and incarcerating them. And when the sentence is up, the criminal is unleashed on the public with no meaningful support or supervision to do it all over again. And so the cycle of crime and incarceration continues. As a result of this approach, police resources are stretched thin, courtrooms are backlogged and jails are full. Not only is this approach ineffective at preventing crime, it’s prohibitively expensive. Unfortunately, very little consideration is given to why people commit crimes, and how they can better supported so they don’t keep committing them. As the Delta Police Department’s recent report on chronic offenders notes, the vast majority of these individuals suffer from extreme cases of mental illness exacerbated by drug addition.Their crimes, thus, are symptoms of their illness. An approach that treats chronic offenders as sick human beings and provides them with long-term treatment, supervision and support will undoubtedly have more success than the current dysfunctional model. And while the thought of rehabilitating criminals instead of incarcerating them may seem like mollycoddling to some, bear in mind this approach has been proven to save taxpayers’ dollars and reduce crime. The Delta Police report cites none other than the State of Texas as an example of this approach being successful not only from a public safety standpoint, but from an economic one as well. That is why it is disappointing to see Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party’s so-called “tough-on-crime” approach, which advocates more of the same punitive treatment of criminals that has been so spectacularly unsuccessful for so long, just on a much larger scale. The result will be a predictable failure, and will cost Canadian taxpayers billions of dollars. – South Delta Leader (Black Press)

Prescription pot pretence is ending in Canada BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA n April 1, medical marijuana growing licences expire across the country, and only licensed commercial growers will be able to legally fill a prescription for pot. Ottawa is moving to clean up the mess it created by issuing medical licences all over the country. Since then, municipalities have complained that small-scale medical licences have been greatly exceeded, with many used as fronts for a criminal drug trade that has made B.C. infamous around the world. How big is the problem? About 38,000 Canadians licensed to carry marijuana for medical purposes and half of them live in B.C. Their permission to grow their own or buy it from designated small-scale growers is withdrawn in a couple of months. Here’s a look at the community level: Police in Maple Ridge estimate that it alone has 500

properties licensed to grow pot. No, Maple Ridge is not a world hotspot for glaucoma or arthritis; it is, however, historically known for its secluded properties and as a base for B.C.’s prison system and the province’s Hells Angels. Police have only an estimate because Ottawa’s bungled medical pot scheme conceals the location of licensed growers from provincial and local governments. RCMP Insp. Dave Fleugel told Maple Ridge council last week his detachment will first target medical growers they know are linked to organized crime. But it’s difficult to determine which are legal and which are not. “This has the potential to cripple the courts,” Fleugel said.“Something is going to have to take a back seat if we are going to go after all of them.” The police and fire department have proposed an amnesty or grace period, allowing people to disclose their location and have it properly dismantled without penalty, to help deal with the volume. This mess was created by Ottawa in response to a court ruling that forced them to

look to seattle for a transit structure The Editor, Re. “Mayors in charge: Stone” (The Tri-City News, Feb. 7). Todd Stone, like all the previous ministers of transportation in B.C., can’t get TransLink governance and funding right. His latest fiddling, unfortunately, proves it. Unlike TransLink, the transit authority of the Greater Seattle area, Sound Transit, has a governance structure that has long been used in many towns in the western world that have great transit systems: local politicians are in charge of transit, along with one or more representative of the political entity that govern a specific area of a country (state, province, region, etc.). From www.soundtransit.org: “Sound Transit is governed by an 18-member Board made up of local elected officials and the secretary of the Washington

TRANS. MIN. TODD STONE State Department of Transportation. “The board establishes policies and gives direction and oversight. It is empowered under state law to identify ballot measures for voter approval of regional transit projects and maintains the long-range plan that identifies potential projects to submit to voters. “At critical milestones of every voter-approved project, the Board makes key decisions by adopting budgets, identifying alternatives to include in environmental review,

selecting the preferred alternative, determining the final project to be built and establishing baselines for project scope, schedule and budget. The board also approves major contracts.” The difference between European towns that have a similar governance structure to that of Sound Transit is that their transit funding is a given, coming from the various levels of governments. (On the other hand, divided motorways are usually built by private companies and are tolled.) Obviously, there is not in B.C. the transit culture one finds not just in Europe but also on other continents and even in Montreal, Toronto and major U.S. cities. Yet Portland, Ore. — with a transit system that spreads in all directions (unlike Metro Vancouver), steady funding and low fares — “got it” and Seattle is on board, too. J-L Brussac, Coquitlam

I continue to be insulted by the arrogance of the Ministry of Education and the current provincial government. I have been a teacher since 1980, keeping informed and involved in the many years of negotiations with various governments. But these past 12plus years have been mostly unpleasant ones to be a teacher due to the disrespect show us by the BC Liberal government, which greatly influences public opinion.

Putting out welcome mat for wildlife Many species are endangered – can you help them?

GET GREEN, GET INVOLVED

Tri-City residents interested in participating in South Coast Conservation Program’s environmental initiative for local property owners are urged to visit www.sccp.ca; you may also contact Tamsin Baker at 604-202-2381 or tamsin@sccp.ca.

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS

The Tri-Cities are home to a number of plants and animals that are at risk of becoming extinct and the South Coast Conservation Program is looking for people who will help protect them. This year, SCCP is introducing an environmental program for local property owners to help them make their yards more appealing and safe for local wildlife. With a focus on properties next to a forest, wetland or a creek, the group is offering site visits to provide homeowners with expert information about what makes their property ecologically unique. They will also get tips for improving habitat for native plants and wildlife, such as how to remove invasive species or what plants will entice hum-

The South Coast Conservation Program wants to educate people about what they can do to protect local wildlife, including naturescaping their yards, getting rid of invasive species and even placing a conservation covenant on their property if it contains a creek, pond or stream. mingbirds and be beneficial for bees. “This is an area that has seen a lot of development and change

over the years, and it is a hotspot for species at risk,” said Tamsin Baker, SCCP stewardship coordinator.

Modelled after similar initiatives on Vancouver Island to protect the rare Garry oak and in the Okanagan to save the

grasslands, the environmental stewardship program is being expanded to the Coquitlam area this year after two years in

the Fraser Valley, where five properties were enhanced and protected. “Coquitlam has a lot of streams and creeks, and obviously the Coquitlam River, and there are endangered species in the area,”Baker said. Among the species of particular concern here are the Pacific water shrew (although rare, it has been sighted in this region), and the northern red legged frog, which used to be plentiful and is now endangered. Development is disturbing habitat for these rare creatures, said Baker, and there are currently more than 260 endangered plant and animal species in the Lower Mainland and FraserValley. She hopes that through nature stewardship, and

by increasing plant and animal diversity, this region won’t become a dead zone for endangered species. Most critical are larger land holdings that contain a creek or wetland, and Baker hopes people who own these properties will consider a conservation covenant to protect the land into perpetuity. “Were looking for people who really care about the native plants and animals and have questions. They can get a hold of us, they send me an email or give me a call and we can discuss their unique situation and, if it looks good, we’ll happily come out and have a look.” The site visits are free, with funds provided by Environment Canada. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Rom-com not just on screen A GOOD READ Jamie McCarthy Just in time for V-Day, books full of love & humour

hinking of watching Annie Hall, Sleepless in Seattle or Roman Holiday on video again this Valentine’s Day? Why not try something new and pick up a funny and heartfelt book from your local library instead. The quirky and hilarious debut novel by Graeme Simsion, The Rosie Project, has quickly captured the hearts of readers around the world. This feel-good comedy is about an introverted genetics professor, Don Tillman, who conducts an experiment called The Wife Project. Don creates a foolproof questionnaire to find the perfect partner — one who doesn’t smoke or drink and always arrives on time. Instead, Don meets Rosie, an outgoing and headstrong bartender who has a project of her own: the hunt for her biological father. As Don helps Rosie with the Father Project, comedic misunderstandings and romance ensue. Don’t let the“Y.A.” sticker on the spine fool you, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is

a poignant and clever read for both teens and adults. Hazel Grace Lancaster is a 16-yearold cancer patient who is forced to attend the Cancer Kid Support Group. While begrudgingly attending a session, she meets Augustus Waters, a charming and handsome 17-year-old former basketball player and amputee. Hazel and Augustus quickly form a strong friendship that blossoms into more after they go on a trip to meet their favourite author, the reclusive and alcoholic Peter van Houten. One of Nick Hornby’s funniest books is About a Boy, which is told from two very different perspectives. Will Freeman is a 36-year-old rakish bachelor and Marcus Brewe is a shy schoolboy who lives with his single mother. They meet through SPAT (Single Parents Alone Together), to which the childless

Will fakes his membership in order to meet and date single mothers. Although Will’s lie is soon found out, he and Marcus develop an unlikely friendship and Will eventually finds better ways to meet women. Fans of Downton Abbey will delight in Nancy Mitford’s Love in a Cold Climate (a favourite character is the overthe-top Lady Montdore, who makes Downton’s Dowager seem tame). Set in Britain during the time between the two world wars, Mitford’s book both embraces and pokes fun at the aristocratic class. Like The Pursuit of Love, Mitford’s earlier novel, this book is narrated by Fanny Wincham and tells the story of her distant cousin, Lady Leopoldina (Polly) Hampton. Polly has just returned from India and is expected to have her pick of any of England’s most eligible bachelors on account of her beauty and wealth, except that she is completely uninterested. While the reader wonders which suitor Polly will choose, Fanny finds love in a charming side story. Finally, a hilarious read for the reluctant romantic: Kingsley Amis’ Lucky Jim. Set in 1950s England, it tells the story of James (Jim) Dixon, a medieval history lecturer who hates his job but

is terrified of losing it. Complicating matters, Jim is in a lukewarm relationship with fellow lecturer Margaret Peel when he meets and falls in love with Christine Callaghan, the girlfriend of his boss’s playboy son. In all matters romance and work, Jim seems unlucky until the novel’s surprise end. If you like the situational humour of the original, British version of The Office, you will laugh at every page. Looking for more ideas? Countless cinematic rom-coms, from to the memorable Bridget Jones’s Diary to the Oscar-nominated Silver Linings Playbook, were first hilarious and charming novels. Ask your local librarian for more recommendations. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Jamie McCarthy works at Coquitlam Public Library.

PAYING TOO MUCH TAX?

‘War on Science’ is topic for Noons Creek Hatchery AGM It’s science vs. politics next week at the Port Moody Ecological Society’s annual general meeting. On Feb. 19 at 7 p.m., PMES hosts the gathering in Multipurpose Room 2 at the Port Moody rec centre with speaker Craig Orr, the executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society. He’ll speak about “The War on Science and Wild Salmon.” According to a PMES press release, changes in federal legislation introduced in 2012 have gutted fish habitat protection and, in conjunction with drastic cuts in staffing levels, have severely weakened the ability of the federal fisheries department as well as Environment Canada to monitor and respond to environmental problems. In addition, research institutes that had been investi-

More recently, the federal government has been criticized for closing and destroying priceless scientific research libraries across Canada. Orr will discuss the impacts these policies will have on the health of our ecosystems and the future of wild salmon in B.C. In addition to Orr’s presentation, mem-

bers and guests will receive updates from the Noons Creek Hatchery, which hosts the popular Fingerling Festival. And Kyle Pilon, president of the Mossom Creek Hatchery, will also provide an overview regarding reconstruction efforts after a devastating fire in December.

How do you get to Carnegie Get hooked Hall? Let Ken Lavigne tell you on modern

with Hamm

Tenor to talk about his road to the most prestigious concert stage in the world

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NeWs

wo years ago, tenor Ken Lavigne spoke at an artists’ convention about how he made it from Vancouver Island to the Big Apple to play Carnegie Hall. That talk — told in part through song — resulted in a successful tour, which the Canadian Tenor co-founder will bring to Coquitlam on Sunday night. For his show, Lavigne relates the story of how he came to sing on the world’s most famous concert stage with the NewYork Pops. And he believes he has told the tale enough times that his narrative has evolved to be “as smooth and seamless as it can be” without the audience having to ask questions afterward. “Of course, I’m always glad they followed along, didn’t fall asleep and were interested to learn more,” he said with a laugh. Lavigne uses musical examples to relive the journey by singing Neapolitan opera hits, popular pieces by Leonard Cohen such as Hallelujah and his own compositions. With each piece, he tries to highlight the versatility of the tenor voice, he said. His performance will be accompanied by musicians on the piano, double bass, violin and guitar. Since his Carnegie Hall debut, Lavigne has performed with fellow Victoria native David Foster, sung for Prince Charles and, last spring, was at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre as part of pianist Sarah Hagen’s Musical

Growing up in Edmonton, Corey Hamm was introduced to a world of music by his piano teacher. And among the types he learned was contemporary — a genre he wasn’t quite so fond of. His teacher urged him to play Samuel Barber’s Piano Concert Opus 38, a Hamm piece that debuted in 1962 in NewYork City. “I had a bad response as a 13-year-old boy,” Hamm recalled, “but now I love it. It’s unfathomable why I didn’t like it.” He credits his teacher for opening up the genre that eventually became Hamm’s specialization. These days, as an internationally renowned concert pianist, Hamm is taking his turn to lead the contemporary movement with his students at UBC, where he is a professor of piano and chamber music and director of the UBC Contemporary Players. Hamm is also on the piano faculty of the Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice at the New England Conservatory in Boston. Next week, Hamm will talk about his passion for modern classical music at Place des Arts as part of the Maillardville facility’s Salon Speaker Series. The presentation will include a Q&A with the audience. Besides the Barber composition, Hamm will also describe his love for The Kyrie, a Requiem movement by Aldred Schnittke of Russia, and a piano piece called The First Communion by Olivier Messiaen of France. Hamm said the public doesn’t get to uncover modern classical music enough and, as a result, the genre is often feared. “We hear lots of pop music and occasionally some classical music in our daily lives,” he said. “About 5% of the classical music we hear, only 5% of that is contemporary classical.” He added,“In my experience with fellow musicians, the public and students, if somebody is exposed to this music then they don’t have that fear. I think it’s just like anything else: If you get used to something you start to appreciate it. It’s the same thing with visual arts. There are still people today who think that Picasso is crazy and outlandish but it’s 100 years old and most of the world realizes that Picasso was a genius.” • Tickets for Corey Hamm’s talk on Thursday, Feb. 20 are $5 through Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam) by calling 604664-1636 or visiting placedesarts.ca.

Last round of Czech series for violinist, pianist duo By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

A handful of Czech composers whose classical music fell out of vogue at the start of the 20th century will have their works revived at a recital in Coquitlam next week. Vi o l i n i s t R o g e r Mangas and his pianist wife Monica Pfau will perform some of the rare pieces he uncovered while in Europe in 2007 — as well as compositions by other prominent Czech masters — as part of the Place des Arts faculty concert series. Mangas said he and Pfau wanted to pay homage to two of their University of Victoria professors who had introduced them to Czech

writers, especially those whose music was passed over with the change from the Romantic to contemporary era. “Their careers dwindled but they had written some really fine music that, as a result of their bad timing, got lost,” he said. Seven years ago, while on a visit to Vienna and Prague, Mangas immersed himself in libraries and used music stores to search for the rare scores that their UVIC mentors — Jaroslav Karlovsky and Paul Kling — had brought to their attention. Mangas, a Place des Arts instructor since 1986, found enough material for a series of concerts, starting in 2008, to celebrate the unknown

Czech pieces. And their fourth and final instalment of the series will be played next Saturday at 7:30 p.m. He and Pfau will reveal works by composers Oskar Nedbal, Josef Suk, Antonin Dvorak and Bohuslav Martinu. They also believe they will be presenting the North American premiere of Josef Foerster’s Sonata quasi Fantasia. Mangas is a member of the Vancouver Opera Orchestra and has about 35 students at Place des Arts. Pfau was on the facility from 1987 to ‘96 and returned last September after a break to raise the couple’s children. A former student of Robin Wood, Pfau has recorded for the CBC Vancouver

Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens, who defeated Pitt Meadows 66-47 last weekend, begin the Fraser Valley playdowns ranked sixth in the province.

Ravens, Talons have eyes on provincial prize By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The Terry Fox Ravens finished up the regular season on a winning note and will begin this week’s AAAA basketball post-season run at the top of the Fraser Valley North standings. The PoCo club defeated cross-town rivals Port Moody 76-60 last Thursday before winning two more games — a 66-47 rout over Pitt

Meadows and a 93-73 win over Charles Tupper — in exhibition play on the weekend. Fox finishes the regular season 5-1 in divisional play and 18-7 overall, putting it in sixth place in the AAAA provincial rankings ahead of the Fraser Valley Playdowns this week. The top teams in the Fraser Valley tournament go on to compete in the provincial championships.

The Ravens are eyeing their second B.C. title in three years, after winning it in 2012 in a nail-biting 75-74 win over Walnut Grove. Terry Fox also took home the provincial banner in 1993 and 1994. But the Ravens aren’t the only Tri-City club with championship aspirations. While the Gleneagle Talons sit one place behind Terry Fox in the Fraser Valley North standings with a 4-2 re-

cord, they are positioned fourth in the provincial rankings, higher than their PoCo rivals. The Talons defeated Port Moody 73-45 in their final game of the regular season on Friday, but dropped a 78-66 decision to the Heritage Woods Kodiaks, another TriCity team, last Thursday. The Kodiaks (17-6) received honourable mention this week, just missing the AAAA top

10 rankings after being edged out by the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers of Surrey (15-10). The Pinetree secondary Timberwolves and the Centennial secondary Centaurs are also eyeing a berth in the provincial championships when the Fraser Valley play downs begin this week. The two teams were expected to play Tuesday night after The Tri-City News’ deadline.

did not disappoint. He posted Canada’s best performance in the team event, perfectly executing three quad jumps for a 167.92 total segment score. His efforts bolstered Canada to a second place finish behind Russia (168.92) and ahead of the United States (165.85). Sunday was Reynolds first Olympic event and his only international competition this season, after being sidelined with skate issues for the duration of the Grand Prix season. see ReYnOldS, page 20

A’s look local at WLA draft Team takes Jr. A’s Tyler Garrison first overall By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Adanacs general manager Kevin Hill entered last week’s We s t e r n L a c r o s s e Association draft with one goal: pickup the best local players available. With Coquitlam’s junior team racking up title after title the last few years, the decision to stay in the community

was an easy one, he told The Tri-City News. “A lot of times in the past, Coquitlam has passed on their local kids from the junior system, so that was our main focus,” he said. “When the junior system is winning B.C. championships, you might as well stick with it.” With the first overall pick the team received in the Cory Conway trade to Nanaimo two seasons ago, the Adanacs took junior defensive stalwart Tyler Garrison. see delMOnICO, page 20

Reynolds wows judges continued from page 19

COURTESY OF THE SOCHI 2014

Coquitlam figure skater Kevin Reynolds, who took home silver on Sunday, practices ahead of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics at the Iceberg Skating Palace.

Delmonico adds to Coq.’s scoring depth continued from page 19

In his three years in the B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League system, Garrison managed more than a point a game, including 23 points in 24 playoff appearances. “He was one of the top D guys and overall players in the draft,” Hill said. “He can play D. He can play offence. He is turning into one of the better draw guys… he made [the decision] pretty easy for us.”

Matt Delmonico, a player who split his junior time between the Port Coquitlam Saints and the junior A’s, was chosen fourth overall. With the pick, Hill said his team gets a strong right-handed shot that can put the ball in the net. In last year’s regular season, Delmonico was 18th in scoring, with 36 goals and 31 assists, numbers that would have likely been higher had been able to play the full season.

In the second round, Coquitlam chose Sam Goodman, a “heart and soul guy” according to Hill, and Steven Neufeld and Vincent Ricci — also Coquitlam junior products — with their 18th and 19th pick. But not every player Hill drafted hails from Coquitlam. Tyler Glebe, a goaltender from Langley who has been plying his trade in Ontario’s junior ‘B’ league, could challenge for the top spot in the upcoming

season, said the Adanacs general manager. The club also chose Kyle Dobbie, a New Westminster junior player, Montgomery Jones from Burnaby and brothers Patrick and Andrew McMillan of Kelowna. Dominik Pesek, a player who is originally from the Czech Republic but has played with the Victoria Junior Shamrocks, was Coquitlam’s 10th round pick.

For most of the year, the Canadian skater, who was born in North Vancouver, has had difficulty finding a boot that fits properly. “I’m feeling really good after this performance,” Reynolds told CTV News. “Considering that I didn’t have any experience in the first half of the Grand Prix season and only national championships as a precursor to this, I’m very, very happy that I was able to get a relatively strong performance here, the

first time at Olympic Games.” Reynolds finished behind Russian veteran Evgeni Plushenko, who helped the host country take its first gold medal of the 2014 Games. The team event was Plushenko’s first international competition since his silvermedal performance in Vancouver in 2010. Reynolds will be back in action again on Thursday at 7 a.m. (PST) competing in the men’s figure skating short program, along with fellow North Van native Liam Firus.
