Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Todd Stone said he’s prepared to authorize a referendum next year on creating a new regional carbon tax for TransLink — provided Metro Vancouver mayors confirm by July 15 they want to hold one.
Thirty-five more employees of the city of Coquitlam earned pay of more than $100,000 last year than in 2012. # of Coq. staff According to the municipalwho earned ity’s 2013 Statement of Financial >$100,000 Information, released on Monday, last year 142 city staffers earned salaries (some of which include retroactive pay) above the $100,000 mark, compared with 107 employees in ’12 and 93 in ’11. This includes 18 staffers who collected more than $150,000 while another five took in more than $200,000 in remuneration. In total, the city spent $71.2 million in salaries for staff and council last year, plus $496,012 in expenses.
Staffing costs continued to rise last year for the city of Port Coquitlam, which paid close to $27 million in base salaries and ben# of PoCo staff efits, according to the recently rewho earned leased 2013 remuneration report. >$100,000 The annual Statement of last year Financial Information Report, which was made public Monday, showed that of the 460 full- and part-time staff, 129 people earned $75,000 or more in remuneration last year while 45 earned $100,000 or more.

Grant regs could be tightened By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
Schools, a Scottish festival and seniors’ society are among the most recent recipients of Coquitlam gaming grants. On Monday, city council handed out $112,395 in Spring 2014 Spirit of Coquitlam awards to 18 organizations, although the city had received a total of $407,778 in grant requests from 23 non-profit community groups. And regulations for handing out grants could be further tightened. In his report to council, Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s acting general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, suggested changes to the program’s procedures, including: • new applicants be required to take part in a Spirit Grant information workshop; • organizations without a complete application submitted on time be considered ineligible;
• and requests from groups with an outstanding bid or grant project completion requirements from previous grants be deemed ineligible until issues are resolved. As well, staff suggested the eligibility requirements be tweaked to encourage more partnerships and to evaluate bids based on the Simon Fraser formula, a method for allocating resources based on the populations of the TriCities’ member municipalities. As part of its host city agreement with Great Canadian Casino, which runs the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver and must give a share of its revenues to Coquitlam, city hall sets aside 12% of that money for community groups, with balance spent on capital projects. To date, Coquitlam has received around $100 million from Great Canadian since the gambling venue opened on United Boulevard in 2002.

Mayors’ plan calls for too much federal money, says prov. minister continued from front page
Stone gave a formal response to the mayors’ call for new TransLink funding sources Tuesday, reiterating the province’s refusal to reallocate any existing carbon tax revenue. But he also said the mayors’ ambitious transit expansion plan asks for too much, too quickly, in terms of federal and provincial government contributions. He said the plan’s expectation of $1.5 billion over 10 years from Ottawa is $500 million more than the federal government’s entire
TODD STONE Build Canada program allocation for B.C. and indicated it may be too much to expect a similar amount from the province as well. “The funding assumptions don’t add up and
call into question whether or not the plan is realistic,”Stone said. He said that could be resolved by extending the investment time frame from 10 years to 20 years. Otherwise, he said, the mayors might have to contemplate either eliminating or postponing some priorities or else raising more money within the region. As for the province’s appetite to introduce mobility pricing — which could involve per-kilometre road tolls — Stone reiterated the province is prepared to discuss that. But he noted it would be challenging to em-
bark on major new transit system upgrades until there’s certainty on how a mobility pricing system would work. Stone also rejected the mayors’ request for a 50% provincial contribution on new capital and operations costs for HandyDart, noting that has always been TransLink’s sole responsibility in the past. The mayors’ plan aims to invest $7.5 billion into new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver, a major bus system expansion, a replacement of the Pattullo Bridge and other projects. Their preferred funding method was a re-
allocation of carbon tax on the short term — or a new carbon tax if the province refused reallocation — followed by a shift to mobility pricing in several years time. “Substantially, this would appear to be a good plan,” Stone said, adding “a bit more work” is needed to determine how it will be financed. If the mayors agree to hold the referendum sometime next spring — and not during this November’s municipal elections — Stone said the wording of the question would not have to be resolved until this fall. jnagel@blackpress.ca

By contrast, the payroll in 2012 was $64.6 million — a jump of $6.6 million in one year. Sheena MacLeod, Coquitlam’s manager of financial services, told The Tri-City News the hike took into account the retroactive wage adjustments for all labour groups last year. In 2013, she said, the firefighters’ contract was settled for 2010 and 2011 with 3% increases for each year. “That has a cumulative impact because all the firefighters got retroactive pay for four years from 2010 through 2013 for those wage adjustments, so all of the reported remuneration is considerably more than what their normal annual 2013 salary would be.” As well, the CUPE agreement for 2012 and 2013 was reached, with

The Tri-Cities have been able to enjoy Mongolian BBQ since September of 2009. Since then, delighted diners have been creating their own taste treats and having them cooked up right in front of them at King’s Mongolian Grill. This Month however a transformation has taken place. You can still enjoy the fabulous food here, but the restaurant itself has changed hands! It is now called Sun Mongolian Restaurant and is under new ownership. Not only has the name changed, the interior has undergone a facelift and the exterior sports a bright new sign! That’s not all that has changed. The prices are lower and there are also more items to choose from when you create your master piece! This isn’t just eating, it’s fun! First you choose your weapon. At lunch, pick a Small Bowl (from $5.99),a medium ($7.50) a large bowl ($8.50) or All You Can Eat ($11.99). The All You Can Eat includes soup, salad and rice. At dinner, (after 4:00 pm) All You Can Eat is $13.99, but when you dine-in, not only do you get get salad, rice, and soup, but also shrimp chips, pineapple and veggie spring rolls. You can also choose a Small Bowl (from $8.50)or a large bowl 10.50). A Kids Bowl is also available for $3.99 at lunch or dinner. (5 years or under) Take-out is available as well, for the Medium and Large Bowls. Once you’ve chosen your bowl size, you can pick between Lamb, Pork, Beef and Chicken, Tofu and now seafood (for an additional $2.99/100 grams),(or some of each) and 15 types of veggies, as well as rice and egg noodles. Now for the best part! The sauces! 15 to choose from! Mix and match to create your own, or try one of their Special combos. I like to experiment!

Other top officials made more in 2013, as well. Paul Rockwood, general manager of financial services, made $173,847 in 2013, plus $1,282 expenses, up from $141,718 in 2012. Similarly, Ron Higo general manager of community services, made $149,633 and $1,547 in expenses in 2013, compared to $138,525 and $1,464 in expenses in 2012, when his job was director of community services. Meanwhile, Tim Savoie, general manager of development services, saw a jump in salary to $155,854, compared to $147,985 when he was the director of development services and the city’s top wage earner in 2012. He has since left the city. As a result of the reorganization, the city paid out about $1.3 million

A plan for care
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
F
inally, someone is saying aloud what everyone has suspected for years: the patchwork quilt that is mental health care in B.C. is tattered and threadbare, and needs a cohesive plan to make it whole again. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that the closure of Riverview has occurred roughly at the same time as the number of people with mental health and drug abuse issues has soared, resulting in revolving door emergency care and policing issues across the Lower Mainland, resulting in high costs to hospitals and the cities that have to take responsibility. De-institutionalization has resulted in many successes and we have seen young people who earlier would have stayed at Riverview for much of their lifetime now receiving treatment in the community while also holding down jobs, keeping their friends and planning a future. But this hasn’t been everyone’s story and noted clinical psychologist Dr. John Higenbottam has nailed the issue with his report — endorsed by Coquitlam council as its official policy on Riverview — to describe a situation where people with complex treatment needs that are not being met by the community and hospital system are floundering, often landing in shelters or in dangerous, unhealthy situations on city streets. But it doesn’t have to be this way, according to Higenbottam. With a sensible plan for the reuse of some Riverview buildings, and a new purpose-built facility, this stunning site can once again be a model of mental health care and treatment research. While it seems like a scene from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest meets Back to the Future to have existing Riverview buildings reused for people with severe mental health care concerns and addiction issues, there are good justifications for doing so. If the buildings such as Valleyview 300, Centre Lawn, Henry Esson Young and Pennington Hall aren’t so far gone from disuse that they can’t be saved, rejuvenating at least some areas for mental health care needs could help people and save money in the short term. Longer term, as Dr. Higenbottam suggests, a new structure for people with severe mental health issues seems both sensible and humane. As the provincial bureaucrats decide the future of this important public land, let’s hope Higenbottam’s recommendations are front and centre in their thinking.
A brief history of public school teacher demands BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA few things have changed since the last all-out teacher strike in B.C. That was just two years ago, when the BC Teachers’ Federation was coming off its second-ever voluntary agreement with a 16% raise over five years and what the union termed an“enhanced”signing bonus of $4,000. Even with special teacher-only top-ups, BCTF members almost rejected the last of the government’s big-spending pre-Olympic labour deals signed in 2006. By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the legislature lawn, howling for another 16%, with backup vocals provided, as usual, by HEU, CUPE, BCGEU and other public sector unions that settled for less. Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises but were oblivious to all that.
A
Last Friday, the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the demands looked a bit thinner. The signing bonus target is up to $5,000 but the raise is a mere 8% over five years, plus another huge basket of cash disguised as benefit improvements and so forth. Government negotiators put their total compensation demand at 14.5%. One obvious dodge: They want the bottom two steps of the teacher salary grid dropped — that’s simply a raise for entry level teachers. Admittedly, those are rare creatures these days, with shrinking enrolment and ironclad seniority rules that allow retired teachers to monopolize substitute work. Something else that has changed since 2012 is that the government has granted the BCTF’s wish to bargain directly with the province. The education ministry executed a takeover of the BC Public School Employers’ Association after last year’s election and installed veteran industrial union negotiator Peter Cameron. He’s backed up by longtime labour specialist Lee Doney, whose task is to keep the teacher deal within Treasury Board limits that have de-

Don’t worry about details, CTF, just slam public transit The Editor, Re. “Transit fans love plan but so does TransLink’s main foe” (The Tri-City News, June 18). Make my day, Jordan Bateman, vote against the Metro mayors’ plans. Voting no means that TransLink will not be able to maintain and upgrade the 2,300 km of major road network to keep vehicles and goods moving, nor to build a new Pattullo Bridge. Oh, wait, Mr. Bateman, you complain about the plan without having read all the details. Good boy, we expected no less from you. But then not only do you not like public transit but, like our smiling premier and her minister of transportation, you don’t know much about transit, do you? This is obvious by your questioning “the need for more West Coast Express service when the Evergreen Line will extend SkyTrain to Coquitlam.”
The Evergreen Line and WCE service totally different areas and having them meet at Coquitlam Central Station will be practical for many people. This is not something new nor is it unusual. Having various types of transit systems meet at some stations has been commonly done for well over a century in many countries. Here in Canada, Toronto has seven lines of commuter trains, Montreal five, and soon six. In both cities, the trains stops at suburban stations, allowing passengers to take a bus for a short ride — or even walk — to their destination near the station instead of going all the way to the end of the rail line downtown, then backtracking. How many members does the Canadian Taxpayers Federation have anyway? And is there one single thing they actually like? J-L Brussac, Coquitlam
Little insight in rants The Editor, Re. BC Views, The Tri-City News. Columnist Tom Fletcher’s rants provide no real information or insight into our political problems. He doesn’t seem worried about bothering with facts or research to back up his points of view. Blowing FLETCHER his own horn to sound off against unions seems to be his sole agenda. I suggest Black Press and The Tri-City News hire a reporter/columnist who does his job with research and provides information that is useful to help us understand the real problems in B.C. Kay Norton, Coquitlam
PoCo must take action The Editor, Re. “No laughing matter: Second Storey closes” (The Tri-City News, June 20). I find it interesting that Port Coquitlam Coun. Michael Wright is so concerned over “what’s going on with the arts and culture locally.” WRIGHT He stated: “We need to take leadership.” I know of several candidates suitable for the position of arts and culture co-ordinator for the city of PoCo that was previously held by Yvonne Chui. The irony is that the city hasn’t hired a replacement for a job vacant since last October. Perhaps Coun. Wright should be a little more concerned about being the chair of a committee that has failed the arts community in PoCo rather than publicly expressing “disappointment in the state of the arts in the community at the moment because there have been several losses.” How about you just do something about it.

Rivervew Lands: The Next Century
For nearly 70 years, Riverview Hospital and its attached facilities was a major economic driver in the Tri-Cities with close to 4000 jobs associated with the operations of the hospital. The future of the lands has been a hot topic since its closure in 2012. It’s made headlines in the Lower Mainland most recently with the release of a report by the City of Coquitlam stating what they would like to see done with the site. BC Housing has started to move forward with the development of the Riverview lands through their Renewing Riverview project, looking at how to best utilize this prime piece of real estate. Because the TriCities Chamber has long been focused on how to use the lands as both a hub for mental health and wellness and an economic driver within the Tri-Cities, BC Housing has asked the Chamber to come forward with a vision and a plan as to what local businesses would like to see at the Riverview site. The Chamber’s Renew Riverview subcommittee consists of local business leaders and will be responsible for research, discussion and analysis of issues related to the economic development of the Riverview lands. Riverview presents a great opportunity to bring hundreds of good paying jobs back to the community. When Riverview was open, many of the staff also lived in the Tri-Cities community and spent their hard earned salaries at local businesses. My mother was a nurse at Valleyview, the geriatric ward at Riverview Hospital, for many years and raised a family in Port Coquitlam. There is temptation to build more housing on this site, but, is that really what we need? If we want to attract people and build a community, we need good paying jobs right here in our own backyard. Michael Hind Executive Director Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce
The Riverview lands already have a century of economic contributions to the Tri-Cities under its belt. Let’s recognize the potential of this site and revive Riverview as an economic driver once again. Let’s reach out to the private sector in medical services, mental health and addictions services and get them involved. The Province needs to re-examine how we deal with mental health and, with the support of the private sector and the community, we can breathe new life into Riverview as a driver for the Tri-Cities’ economy and for the advancement of mental health and wellness in BC.

Onyx Steakhouse
It’s 3:30pm on a Friday. Your meetings are done for the day. You’ve caught up on email. There’s nothing stopping you from grabbing your co-workers and heading out for preweekend appies and cocktails. But where to go? Our restaurant of the month, Onyx Steakhouse and Lounge, is your perfect post-work spot to kick-off the weekend. Located in the heart of bustling Suter Brook Village in Port Moody, Onyx’s unique selection of cocktails and canapés will help you end the work week right. Treat yourself to fresh west coast oysters served with red wine mignonette, tomato horseradish cocktail sauce and fresh horseradish. Pair your appies with a Signature Sipper or Classic Cocktail, like the Marine Vice Martini with lychee liquer or a Burnt Orange Manhattan with orange angostura bitters. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself staying well into the dinner hour. The comfortable yet modern atmosphere invites you to stay as you sip your drink and salivate over the delicious dinner menu. Sweeten your Top Sirloin with a side of BC Dungeness Crab Legs or a Garlic Steamed Lobster Tail, or bite into a mouth-watering Blueberry BBQ Chicken and Brie Sandwich. Better yet, mix sandwich and steak and get the Onyx Steak Sandwich made with 40 day dry aged NY striploin, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and horseradish aioli on a garlic toasted baguette.
Upcoming Events
At Onyx, the comfortable, contemporary atmosphere extends beyond the dining room. Enjoy the large patio as you people watched in Suter Brook. Reserve the upstairs for a private party or meeting or, for larger events, ask about Onyx’s ‘buy-out’ option and get the whole restaurant to yourself. Onyx Steakhouse and Lounge is a fresh take on the traditional steakhouse with a casual contemporary feel. Open seven days a week from 11am to late, Onyx is the place to savour a steak in Port Moody.

Who: What’s On! Port Coquitlam What: Port Coquitlam’s own community events, entertainment & leisure magazine and online Where: www.whatsonpoco.ca We are a community events, entertainment and leisure magazine and website focusing on what’s happening in Port Coquitlam. I’ve always wanted a career in the publishing/writing/ editing world, but never actively pursued it. One of my friends was working on the Ridge Meadows edition of What’s On. I wanted to work with her at the time, but they weren’t hiring. When the What’s On name became licensed last year, I took the opportunity to research it more and purchase the rights to the Port Coquitlam license. There’s so much that I love about my business now, from meeting so many people to hearing the positive feedback, to putting it all together. I think the best part, though, is when the magazines are delivered and I open the first box to see the new magazine. Very exciting to see it! Something I created! I love the sense of community in Port Coquitlam. Even though it’s part of the busy Lower Mainland, it still feels like a small familyoriented community. Now, when I’m out selling, I run into someone I know around every corner. In five years, I want that feeling to continue and expand. I see us being the go-to place for residents and visitors in Port Coquitlam wanting to know what is going in their community. If you want to know more about What’s On! Port Coquitlam, feel free to get in touch!
Who: Business Centre Solutions What: Office space and services solutions Where: 211 - 3030 Lincoln Avenue, Coquitlam We offer office space and services that allow clients to work on their business while we look after all the administrative tasks around what they do. Our staff are trained to custom design the service to the specific client’s needs, including scheduling appointments, taking deposits, and ensuring that their operation is run smoothly and efficiently. Many of our clients have been with us well over 25 years and never want to hire their own staff or worry about the capital expenditure involved with signing a long lease. I started as a home based business 32 years ago providing computer services and training. Now, we are a full time office space with telephone answering services and hourly boardroom and office rental, and are developing a number of programs to enhance our existing service, including video conferencing. We are so flexible that it surprises people coming in to the centres. We work with small business owners to reps of large companies; national and international companies as well as local entrepreneurs. To anyone starting a business, I would say build from the inside out - word of mouth is what makes us. A solid reputation for doing the right thing pays off and results in long term relationships.

Jewellery Maintenance 101
Stars of Tri-Cities Chamber Golf Classic
Jewellery maintenance isn’t always on the forefront of everyone’s minds, and most repairs and remakes are from innocent neglect by owners. Here are a few simple tips on how you can keep your jewellery intact longer. • Refrain from doing intensive activities while wearing jewellery. Rings can be lost or necklaces ripped during sports, and laboring with your hands exposes rings to heavy scratches and dings greatly reducing their luster. The highest risk comes to your center stones. If they come into violent contact with hard objects, they may become severely damaged or destroyed. Diamonds, for instance, can chip. Other stones, like sapphires, are significantly softer and a similar force taken to chip a diamond can shatter a sapphire. In both instances you would have to replace the center stone. • Visually inspect your jewellery regularly. In particular, focus on any stones you have and how they are secured. Most stones are set using claws, usually a 4 claws system. Check to see if the tips of the claws aren’t becoming too thin. If they seem almost paper-thin you risk the tips snapping and compromising the securing of the stone. This is easily repairable by re-tipping. Any local jeweller should be able to service claw repairs. Another quick check on center stones is by listening. If you hold your jewellery to your ear and tap on the stone, you could hear a slight rattle. This means the stone is loose in its setting and is at risk. Your local jeweller should be able to quickly service a loose stone by tightening the claws. • Store your jewellery safely. Storing your jewellery in piles and clumps greatly increases wear and tear. Chains and necklaces are more susceptible to becoming tangled and chains run the risk of being snapped if not untangled properly. Placing jewellery in a jewellery box will help keep you jewellery organized and in better condition. Jewellery, if made right, is highly reliable, but can be costly to repair if something happens. These steps will help you be pro active and prevent the unthinkable from happening. Do your own inspection every 3-4 months and stop by your local jeweller every 1-2 years for a more in depth check up. Aurifex Jewellers Suter Brook, 9-201 Morrissey Road, Port Moody www.aurifex.ca

The Matinée returns home By Janis Warren
T
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
he last time the band members of The Matinee played an outdoor show in Coquitlam was when they were Centennial secondary students. Lead singer Matthew Layzell remembers the July 1 gig at Place Maillardville community centre. “It’s kind of neat to be coming back and doing it on a much-larger scale,” he said, referring to their Canada Day gig in Coquitlam Town Centre Park where they will perform before an estimated crowd of 50,000 revellers. A lot has changed for the band since they graduated in 1997, the most significant happening three years ago when they took third place in the Peak Performance Project. After clinching their $50,000 prize from the radio station, “we pretty much walked into a record deal so that helped us start running at the gates essentially,”Layzell said. The rockers stretched the cash to pay for rehearsal space, music videos, tour support, photo shoots, a publicist and a debut record, titled We Swore We’d See The Sunrise, that was released last year and produced by Grammy-award winner Steve Berlin of REM and The Tragically Hip fame. Their tight budgeting and hard work paid off: Their tunes can now be heard in regular rotation on CBC Radio, The Peak 102.7 FM and The Shore 104.3 FM. But recently, they had a setback with the loss of bass guitar/keys player Mike Young (The Matinee announced the news on its website earlier this month). Layzell said there are no immediate plans to replaceYoung just yet. “The four of us are pretty tight and I think we need to be careful as we bring someone else in the fold, especially with the amount of time we spend on the road and touring,” he said. “It’s got

CLASS OF ’97: Centennial secondary grads Matthew Layzell (vocals), Matthew Rose (guitars, vocals), Geoff Petrie (guitars, vocals) and Peter Lemon (drums, vocals) make up The Matinee — one of the biggest musical acts to come out of Coquitlam (guitarist Mike Young, also pictured, is no longer with the group). They will headline the Canada Day celebrations at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park on July 1. to be a pretty wise decision.” Layzell said Young’s absence has been felt as he was an integral songwriting collaborator as well. Last week, The Matinee was in Greenhouse Studios in Vancouver to cut a summer single and to work on new material for their sophomore album, due out later this year. However, with Young out, the studio producers stepped in to help smooth the sound as they are songwriters and musicians, too. “For this recording, we didn’t go
into the studio with one song. We actually went in and started jamming so it would feel like a band in there and then we saw what came out of those jam sessions. We just rolled tape and turned the microphones on. “It was a really inspiring and a free, creative process.” Layzell hinted the band will be playing the summer single at their Canada Day show in Coquitlam as well as material from their yet-to-be-released album.

Filmmaker’s ‘falling’ flick to be in CBC contest By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Centennial secondary grad will appear in CBC-TV’s Short Film Face Off for the second time in four years. Last week, Coquitlam native Alan Miller started to tape the reality competition to promote his work In Passing, a four-minute long flick he wrote and directed for his master’s thesis last year at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. The movie, which last October had its international premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival,
has gained attention at the 18 film festivals it has been screened at this and last year. And it has scooped four top prizes, including a Student Emmy. On Monday, In MILLER Passing was showcased at Fine Cut: KCET’s annual gala of student films across southern California. In 2011, Miller made it to the Top 3 in the CBC Short Film Face Off with his flick, Conrad the Wise.
Speaking from Halifax last Friday, Miller said he applauds the public broadcaster for highlighting short films, a medium that only a select number of people have access to. “It’s a great opportunity to get it in front of a national audience,” he said of Face Off. Nine short films are in the running for this year’s contest, with Miller’s being the only entry from B.C. to make the cut. In Passing centres on two lonely people who happen to be jumping off the same building in Vancouver — at the same time — but in two different spots.

As they descend, love strikes in mid air. “It’s the story about two people that meet briefly but hopefully you get a sense of something larger about their life,” Miller said. “There might have been something missing and, in this last weird moment, they get an unexpected resolution. That speaks to the idea that our time is always limited.” Miller said he sometimes gets asked if he feels the narrative is depressing. “I never thought so,” he said. “I thought it was a happy ending.” see SECOND TIME, page A20
Magic back for Year 2 Magicians from around western Canada — and beyond — are in Port Coquitlam this week to wave their wands and perform tricks in the second annual MAGIC Festival. Organized by two-time world magic champion Shawn Farquhar, the family-friendly shows run until Friday with groups like the Vancouver Magic Circle and the Canadian A s s o c i at i o n o f Magicians offering their best. Friday’s gala at the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate, PoCo) concludes the festival with the fifth annual Share The Magic, benefitting the Share food bank. Among those on the stage will be Farquhar, Billy Hsueh and Steve Dickson. The charity event is produced by homet ow n m a g i c i a n Alex Seaman. Other shows tonight and tomorrow are: • Magic’s Best Kept Secrets with Hsueh, The Magic of Zanthera and Leo Kanzelberger (Wednesday, 7 p.m., S e c o n d S t o r ey Theatre); • Th e M a g i c Gala with Henry Tom, Rod Chow, Tr e v o r and Lorena Watters, Jeff Christensen, R ay R o c h a n d L o n M a n d ra ke (Wednesday, 9 p.m., S e c o n d S t o r ey Theatre); • and Ray Gamble (Thursday at 7 p.m., Second Storey Theatre).

At the Grill with Babe and Jim By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Audience-goers to the first of three shows for the Music on the Grill series will bask in an array of sounds when Babe Gurr and Jim Byrnes come to Coquitlam next week. Each has new albums out — St. Louis Blues for the Juno-award winning Byrnes and Hearts Up To The Sun for Gurr — and will be playing tunes from their new CDs as well as pieces from older compilations. That means a mix of genres such as folk, roots, world beat, blues, pop and even country for the summertime performance at the Evergreen Cultural Centre on July 4 and 5. “I think [the crowd] won’t get bored because the music is so diverse yet I think it appeals to most people,”Gurr said. The pair started to partner for concerts about six years ago, with Gurr taking the opening act. “It just seemed to be a good combination,” she said. “We draw from the same age group. Baby boomers is the bulk of our audience.”
Actor/musician Jim Byrnes will headline the show.
COURTESY OF EVERGREEN CULTURAL CENTRE
Vancouver musicians Babe Gurr and Jim Byrnes team up for two shows at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way) next week to open the sixth annual Aaargon Music on the Grill series. Added Byrnes, “It always seems to be a nice night and very eclectic.” And both praise each other for the quality of musicians they have in tow. Byrnes’ repertoire is large and he tends not to work off a set list. As a result, his backup band must accommodate his last-minute wishes because he likes to feel out the crowd before

the show starts. “I’ll do a little structure of a set but then things come into my mind and right before we go on I’ll say, ‘Hey, we haven’t played this one in a while.’” “It keeps it fresh. I hate doing the same thing over and over and over again,” said Byrnes, who
is also known for his T.V. acting and recordings with the Sojourners. For her part, Gurr said she’ll be promoting her latest R&B-inspired album, which has a lot of horns (she won’t be bringing a horn section with her for the show).

“Obviously, there’s something sad going on with both of these people but they get something beautiful at the end. It’s about them falling in love. It’s not about them falling.” “Once that story is complete, it doesn’t matter what happens after that,” he added. To produce it, Miller and a cameraman used the Vancouver Lookout
Tower to film the backdrop. Then, on a sound stage in Los Angeles, his crew suspended the two actors in harnesses to act in front of a green screen with fans blasting. The rest was built using computerized images. Now, Miller said he plans to return to Vancouver “to put down some roots and keep making movies.” • The first episode of CBC’s Short Film Face Off is Sept. 13. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam Reds runner Matthew Woo gets chased back to first base by the North Delta Blue Jays during a B.C. Premier Baseball League game at Mundy Park on Sunday afternoon.
Reds start to turn season around By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Reds continued to climb up the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings after winning two of three games last week. The club improved its record to 12-21 and have gone 5-5 in its last ten games, good enough for tenth in the league and rising. Last Thurday, the Reds visited Surrey for a 4-0 win over the Whalley Chiefs.
The game was tied 0-0 for the first seven innings before the visitors’ bats came alive in the extra inning, with Jake MacDonald, Evan Soutar, Austin Butler and Cameron Williams all finding home plate. Coquitlam’s Drew Horton got the win on the mound. The team continue its winning ways on Sunday at Mundy Park, when the club hosted the North Delta Blue Jays. Coquitlam racked up
three runs in the fourth — scored by Soutar, Williams and Nicolas Panazzo — before Tyler Hoefer scored in the fifth. The Reds kept the pressure up in the sixth inning, with runs from Zac Comeault, Thierry Parker, T.J. McCullough and Matthew Woo on the way to an 8-2 victory. Reds pitcher Kole Benard notched the win for Coquitlam. However, the streak came to an end in the second game of
Sunday’s doubleheader against the Blue Jays. The Reds were able to come out of the gates swinging, racking up two runs in the opening inning. But North Delta consistently posted runs throughout the game, eventually winning 6-2. The Coquitlam Reds were scheduled to play the North Shore Twins Tuesday night after The Tri-City News’ deadline. The team was also scheduled to take on the Okanagan Athletics

REDLEGS
Meanwhile, the Coquitlam Jr. Redlegs continued to struggle in the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League season. The club, which currently sits in second to last place in the league, fell to the Nanaimo Jr. Pirates on Sunday at Mundy Park. Coquitlam took the
lead in the bottom of the fourth with runs from Riley Engleson and Cole Walter to make it 2-1. However, the team struggled to contain the Pirates in the fifth, allowing three runs from the visitors. The Redlegs scored again in the sixth but it was not enough to spark a comeback and the home team lost to the Vancouver Island squad 5-3.
The Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam has been chosen as the host venue for the 2015 Canadian Pacific Women’s Open. The event, which will be contested between Aug. 17 and 23, will feature female golfers like two-time reigning open champion Lydia Ko, who captured her first LPGA Tour victory at the course in 2012. Ko, along with countless other competitors, will be vying for the $2.41 million purse. “Our membership is extremely excited and honoured to once again host the LPGA Tour’s fine s t p l aye r s a t the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open,” said Paul Batchelor, host c l u b vo l u n t e e r chair with the Vancouver Golf Club. “Our club truly enjoyed hosting the 2012 Canadian Women’s Open and we are thrilled to once again showcase our club and our classic golf course to the LPGA players and Canadian golf fans.” The club will be looking to recruit 1,200 volunteers for the event and interested individuals are asked to visit golfcanada.ca for more information. Scott Simmons, Golf Canada’s executive director, said the event was successful when it was hosted in Coquitlam in 2012.

Coquitlam was unable to turn its game around in the second match of the doubleheader, despite posting 10 runs in the match. The game started badly for the team, which surrendered 14 runs in the first three innings. But the Redlegs showed some resiliency, slowly crawling back into the game with singles in the first and second inning, two runs in the third and a three run showing in the fourth. Both teams failed to bring runners in the fifth and sixth, before Coquitlam came close to tying up the game in the seventies with three runs. Cole Tatham was the losing pitcher in the 14-10 losing effort. sports@tricitynews.com
