Plenty want a shot at school trustee jobs By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
In the aftermath of a province-wide public school strike and financial fiasco in School District 43, Tri-City school trustee jobs are a hot ticket. The race is definitely on for school trustee in SD43, especially in Coquitlam, where 11 candidates, including three incumbents, are running for four seats compared to five who ran for four spots in the last civic election in 2011. A combination of opportunism — only three incumbents are running this year in Coquitlam
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
With the teachers’ strike and SD43 financial troubles, it has been a time of turmoil in public education but plenty of people want to run for school trustee in the Tri-Cities. compared to four in 2011 with the retirement of Brian Robinson — and hot-button issues such as fiscal responsibility with $13.4 million in cuts in
the spring and the recent teachers’ strike may also explain the crowded race. see CANDIDATES, page A6
Four are running outside their cities Alty, from Sooke, has the longest commute By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Should candidates live in the city in which they are running? Although there is no residency requirement in municipal and school board elections, that
question has been bandied about on Twitter in recent weeks as the election campaign heats up towards a Nov. 15 vote. In the Tri-Cities, four candidates are running outside the city in which they reside. The one who lives furthest away, according to election documents, is Gail Alty, who resides in Sooke on Vancouver Island and is seeking
re-election as a school trustee in Coquitlam. The veteran trustee, who was first elected to the School District 43 board of education in 1993, moved to Vancouver Island about five years ago to be with her husband, who has a business there, and says she maintains close ties with Coquitlam and has property in the city. “I think I can contribute to the board in a positive
way,” said Alty, who said she wanted to run again for the four-year term because she is still passionate about education. When asked if she would vote for someone who didn’t live in the city they were running, Alty said it would depend on how committed they were and what their experience is. see DIF. REASONS, page A5
IN QUOTES
“For 31 years, I’ve been a volunteer, an employee and a trustee, that’s been my focus the whole time I’ve been in Coquitlam.” Gail Alty
ELECTION INFORMATION In mayoral matchups, the three incumbents each takes on challengers in the Tri-Cities: ■ Coquitlam: Stewart vs. Sekora and Mahovlich ■ PoCo: Moore vs. Hirvonen ■ PoMo: Clay vs. Royer See full lists on page A3

“For 31 years, I’ve been a volunteer, an employee and a trustee, that’s been my focus the whole time I’ve been in Coquitlam,” she said, noting that she makes the trip to Coquitlam from Sooke about every 10 days. Alty said she doesn’t bill taxpayers for her travel to and from the Island. “I’ve missed very few meetings in my years since I’ve been on the board, in 21 years. That’s my reason to do it. I’m free to do the work and I’m still passionate about what I do.” Another trustee candidate who is running outside their home city is Chris King, a retired teacher and former Coquitlam Teachers’ Association executive member who lives in Coquitlam but is running in Port Coquitlam. King said he thought “long and hard” before making the decision about where to run and chose Port Coquitlam because it’s where “his heart is.” King said he lived in PoCo for many years and now lives in River Springs in Coquitlam,
and does all his shopping and other business in PoCo. “I know the community very well. That was my area, I know all the schools and the administrators, I know the issues. I have those relationships with the community that you need as a trustee.” Anmore and Belcarra have two people running who don’t live in either of the villages. But Kerri Palmer Isaak, who is running for school trustee to represent the villages, said her address in Port Moody is temporary to accommodate her children, who go to school in PoMo. Palmer Isaak said she sold her home in the spring and plans to move back to one of the villages soon because she believes candidates should live in the communities they represent. “You are more in touch with what’s going on,”she said. M e a n wh i l e , G o rd Bytelaar, a Coquitlam resident, is running for Anmore village council. He was not available for comment before The TriCity News’ print deadline.

CANDIDATES FOR SCHOOL TRUSTEE IN SCHOOL DISTRICT 43 continued from front page One of the challengers is Barb Hobson, a former school trustee and board chair who wants to get back on the board while the others are relative newcomers Rob Bottos, Carol Cahoon, Chuck Denison, Zongshuo Luo, Shari O’Neill, Larry Ryan, Jodie Wickens. They’re all up against incumbents Gail Alty, Diane Sowden and Gerri Wallis. In Port Coquitlam, four candidates are running for two school board spots, compared to three who ran in 2011. John Keryluk didn’t put his name forward this year but incumbent Judy Shirra, who has served on and off since the mid-1990s and for the two terms since 2008, has put her hat in the ring for another term. The other candidates are Michael Thomas, Chris King and Liam Coughlan. Meanwhile, the race in Port Moody has also heated up, with six candidates running for two school board posts compared to two who ran in 2011 and were acclaimed. This year, Melissa Hyndes, the current board chair, and five-term trustee Keith Watkins are both running for re-election against challengers Jeanette Jackson, Charlie Loo, Lisa Park, and Alexander Swistak. In Anmore and Belcarra, which are represented by one trustee, three people are running to unseat four-term trustee Holly Butterfield. They are: Celia Chiang, a PoMo business owner; Kerri Palmer Isaak, a current Anmore village councillor; and Gwen Chute who was previously on school board. In 2011 Butterfield was unchallenged for the Anmore/ Belcarra seat on the SD43 board of education.

Oil’s dive to cut gas prices at pump By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
The deep dive in crude oil prices in recent weeks has so far been slow to trickle down into lower gasoline prices. But one petroleum industry expert predicts more relief from pain at the pumps is coming soon for Lower Mainland motorists. “You guys are on the verge of a pretty sizable drop in the retail price there,” said Jason Parent, the Ontario-based vicepresident of consulting for MJ Ervin and Associates. He said the current average price of $1.30 per litre of regular gas in Metro Vancouver as of Friday – down from a midsummer plateau of around $1.42 – should
continue to drop to $1.25 or lower. Crude oil prices have fallen about 15 per cent from their July levels but the drop for retail gas has been barely eight per cent. “We’ve seen some of that passed on at the pump but not quite all of it yet,”Parent said. Crude oil makes up only about half of the cost of a litre of gas, but he said the sharp decline, plus the typical seasonal drop in gas prices as summer driving season ends, should translate into more savings for drivers. “If you’ve got a sustained downward movement in crude prices – as we have – you will see that passed on for the most part, eventually.” TransLink’s diesel bus fuel costs may also drop with lower crude oil prices. Spokesperson Cheryl Ziola said it’s also possible lower gas prices will encourage more driving

Consumers may soon get some relief at the pump, thanks to lower crude oil prices. and result in TransLink collecting more fuel tax from the 17 cents a litre it levies, at least over the short term.
But cheaper gas can also cut into transit ridership. And Ziola cautioned trends of better fuel efficiency, slower
growth in vehicle ownership and people driving less are forecast to continue to push down TransLink’s fuel tax.

Neck and Shoulder Pain “On day one, it was difficult to move my head all the way left and right and now I can. I could not lift my left arm above my head and now I can. THE PAIN IS GONE! If I hurt myself again, I will treat with LASER Therapy.” Dennis Moore (63)
Low Intensity Laser Therapy
Foot Pain “I had pain in my big toe for over a year but after having only 5 laser treatments the pain was gone. I am happy with the service and the friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this safe, non-invasive therapy.” Theresa Kraynyk (81)
Laser Light Therapy
Burn Injury “...My calf had made contact with a hot tail pipe of a Harley and the burn was just oozing. There was a noticeable improvement after one treatment, and after 3 in a row, it was as good as gone!” Debbie Moore (43) Sciatica “My GP could not offer any treatment other than pain killers and waiting it out. After six laser treatments I am now pain free and have resumed my active life style.” J.I. (70) Spinal Stenosis I was diagnosed with Central Canal Spinal Stenosis and was suffering with pain, bilateral foot drop and decreasing ability to walk. I had been recommended to do surgery to fix the pain. After 13 treatments of Laser Light Therapy, there was so much relief. I am no longer taking any pain medications. I have no tingling in my feet and am able to walk without my cane now. Vivian Tonietto (53) Plantar Fasciitis Laser Therapy was a godsend. I suffered a severe case of Plantar Fasciitis in both feet to the point where I could barely function. After about 5 treatments I started noticing a change for the better and after 10 treatments I was able to resume my daily walks without pain and discomfort. It was also recommended that I wear proper orthotics to avoid future incidents. Diane (75)

Big donation will help those suffering from kidney stones By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Mention kidney stones and many people will cringe in discomfort, but Tri-City residents who experience this painful condition will soon benefit from a new piece of equipment to treat them. The Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation has purchased a new holmium laser for the hospital’s operating rooms,
thanks to a $56,000 donation from Bill Dick, owner of the Coquitlam-based PhoenixTruck & Crane. “I enjoy knowing that I can make a difference for my community by actually purchasing a piece of equipment that will be used to help patients immediately,” Dick said. Dr. Brian Yang, a urologist at ERH, said the holmium laser will be used to treat patients

“I enjoy knowing I can make a difference for my community...” Bill Dick with kidney stones and some urologic cancers. “The pain of kidney stones can be debilitating and will affect one in 10
people in their lifetime,” Yang said, adding the addition of the laser at ERH will mean local residents won’t have to make a trip outside the community for treatment. “Bill has been instrumental in the improvements at ERH, past and present, and we thank him for his very generous gift to our urology campaign,” said Charlene Giovannetti-King, executive director of ERHF.

Federal moves for fit families T
PICTURE THIS adrian raeside
he federal Conservatives deserve credit for recognizing that childhood fitness is an issue and that sports activities are expensive. But let’s face it, the doubling of the tax credit for kids under 16 from $500 to $1,000 is just a drop in the bucket when it comes to getting kids active and fit. Now, parents can get back up to 15% of their children’s registration or membership fees at tax time but it’s really just a gesture and an acknowledgement that the original $500 tax credit was far too low, especially if you have more than one child in more than one sport. What sweetens the pot slightly is that the maximum credit actually works as a refund of $150, meaning that families whose incomes are too low to benefit will get some help, although they have to spend a lot to benefit a little. Cynics will argue that the Tories are just buying votes — with voters’ own money — in advance of a federal election a year from now. But people’s memories aren’t that long and the refund or tax credit isn’t worth that much. What would make a difference would be a national fitness strategy to encourage families to make health and fitness a priority. Currently, this is left up to the cities to do, with some encouragement from provincial or regional health authorities, and other non-profit agencies. What’s missing is a culture of active living because everybody is so strapped for time, people drive everywhere and sitting in front of a screen all day is seen as the most-productive way of getting things done. Could a pan-national strategy address more issues over a long time-frame? Absolutely, and it’s not just kids who could benefit from incentives to employers and agencies to get everyone moving and being healthy. Canada needs more direct action to raise Canadians’ fitness IQ, and the federal government should be a leader in this.
Time for truth in British Columbia’s treaty talks BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA hree years ago, longtime chief and band administrator Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commission and gave a warning. The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or“shut ’er down.” Last week, Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commissioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and theYale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa. They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-government. Tsawwassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively and its shopping centre develop-
T
ment near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now. All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlapping territorial claims around them, and similar progress has been made with the Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere. The need for aboriginal people to work out their overlapping claim issues between themselves was the focus of the commission’s 22nd annual report. In it, former chief commissioners Miles Richardson of the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influential voices, urging aboriginal communities to consider them shared territories rather than clinging to ancient tribal rivalries. Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and studies, the federal government has finally given its negotiators a mandate to negotiate fisheries. This is the main reason the Tla’amin waited five long years for Ottawa’s blessing after their treaty had been hammered out. This year’s landmark decision of the

Supreme Court of Canada, recognizing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley, has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the“flurry of activity”by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconciliation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years ago. Pierre said this court ruling“should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment, both financial and time commitment, to reach satisfactory conclusions.” That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest historical problem: the lack of treaties across most of the province. It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique. It’s unlikely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it. Here’s the bad news: As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are
to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties. Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering — this would leave them free but broke. Others are just“spinning their wheels”with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. The commission is calling for an“exit strategy”for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity. There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-government. Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes — and the failures.

Defending the Royers
The Editor, Re. “Negative results if PoMo opts for four years of ‘Royer Rule’” (Letters, The TriCity News, Oct. 10). In answer to letter writer Jim Peacock’s disappointment if Gaetan Royer gets elected mayor and Zoe Royer is re-elected as a city councillor, I imagine his elected friends on council and business people do not much care for Mr. Royer’s time as administrator for the city of Port Moody. As an administrator, he had to tell developers that Suter Brook had to commit one third of the land to green space. The new OCP that is now before us has no such limits. In fact, there are precious few limits for developers in it. There are no limits to what the developers can build on many of the properties developers have bought. There are no limits to how high condos can go around Port Moody Station or the waterfront. Development is going to happen but let’s put some limits on it. Marilyn Medén, Port Moody
HEAR THEM
The Editor, I was astounded when I read Mr. Peacock’s brash and unsubstantiated statements about Gaetan and Zoe Royer. His comments, by his own admission, are based on hearsay. It would not be difficult for anyone to make similar comments about Mayor Mike Clay. I would rather hear from the candidates. Attend an all-candidates meeting or drop in to the candidate’s campaign office. Let the candidates speak for themselves. Holly Rogers, Port Moody
election crucial for public education The Editor, We are currently facing two pivotal moments in public education in British Columbia. First, we have just ended a lengthy strike that will bring five years of labour stability and an opportunity to rebuild relationships and strengthen our education system. Over the past several months, there has been a focus on what was wrong with the system rather than what is right. Now is the time to shift that focus back to what we all have in common: success for students. British Columbia has one of the best education systems in the world because of fabulous teachers, administrators and support staff. Yes, there are still challenges to overcome.
There will always be a need for increased funding and staffing. But our education system should not be defined by the challenges — it should be defined by our willingness and ability to work together to overcome them. Success is a team effort and it is now time for us to once again work together as a team. The second pivotal moment will occur on Nov. 15, the date of local trustee and city council elections across B.C. On this day, you will have an opportunity to elect the women and men who will lead and oversee public education in your community. School trustees working in their communities with education partners and parents provide focus and direc-
tion to help realize the educational aspirations of students throughout the province. Public education is everyone’s business. It is the engine that will determine the success of our province. Our future employees, leaders, parents and citizens will come from today’s classrooms. Nov. 15 is your opportunity to select the individuals in your community who will advocate for that future and who will determine the directions to guide this critical public investment. Working together with a clear focus on what is best for student ensures that the future will be bright. Teresa Rezansoff, President, BC School Trustees Association

Friends and strangers step up to help after fall The Editor, While walking with a group of friends I tripped over a manhole cover and landed face-first on the road. Immediately, a car passing stopped and the driver offered the use of his cell phone — many thanks to him for his offer. Two other women in cars also stopped to see if we needed help. I didn’t get the names of any of these kind strangers and wish to extend my thanks for their offers. A resident came out of his home carrying a first aid kit and he helped to stop the bleeding, brought me a chair and phoned my husband to meet us at the hospital. Two of my walking pals left to get their cars from the parking lot and to drive me to the hospital, and they flagged down a passing car and asked the driver to drive them to the parking lot, and there again a complete stranger gave them a ride. Kudos to the group of wonderful friends and neighbours who live in Coquitlam. Many thanks to all of you . S. Payne, Coquitlam

Election financing has a longtime voter irked The Editor, I have voted in every election available to me since I was first eligible to vote — municipal, provincial and federal, including all byelections. I have attended candidates meetings, read all of the propaganda delivered to my door and even had discussions with those who came to my door. I would pack my family up and walk to our polling station with our dog in tow and exercise my right to vote. We keep hearing that the municipal voter turnout is approximately 22%. I now see why. I read after the last byelection that every candidate was backed by either unions or developers. I find that quite disheartening.

Trucking garbage to U.S. could be costly, warn Metro Van politicians Defeat on Bylaw 280 may bring higher property taxes BY Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Metro Vancouver property taxes might have to go up if the province won’t approve the regional district’s controversial ban on trucking garbage to unauthorized landfills outside the region. That scenario was raised at Metro’s waste committee Thursday by directors who said it’s time to consider a backup plan if Victoria won’t endorse Bylaw 280, which was passed nearly a year ago but still awaits the environment minister’s okay. The regulation would stop commercial waste haulers from trucking Metro-area garbage first to Abbotsford and then sending it to U.S. landfills, skirting disposal bans here and avoiding Metro tipping fees. Metro’s lost tipping fees are estimated at $11 million this year alone and officials predict

A load of garbage is lifted inside Metro Vancouver’s waste incinerator in south Burnaby. Metro wants to ban commercial haulers from taking garbage out of the region. haulers who avoid paying them will use their cost advantage to win more commercial hauling business, resulting in even more garbage flowing east in the years ahead. N o r t h Va n c o u ve r District Coun. Roger Bassam said Metro might have to shift much of the cost of its waste management system directly onto property taxes “so we can drive the tipping fees down to the point where there is no economic incentive to leave the region and win the battle that way.” Solid waste manager Paul Henderson said the region is starting to look
at its options if Bylaw 280 is rejected. He said shifting away from the user-funded garbage disposal system would bring disadvantages. Metro currently charges $108 per tonne to dispose of garbage but much less for recyclables, creating a powerful incentive to separate them. That tipping fee will rise $1 next year but officials say they can go no further due to competition from out of region. If tipping fees were slashed to compete with eastbound haulers, Henderson said, there would be less incentive
to recycle. He noted Ontario’s commercial waste haulers aren’t bound by the same rules as residents and as a result the commercial sector’s recycling rate there is 13 per cent, compared to 39 per cent in Metro. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said defeat on Bylaw 280 would likely force Metro to revert to a landfilling strategy and abandon its plans to build a potential second incinerator to capture more energy from waste. “There is a Plan B but it’s so unpleasant and it reverses everything we are doing,” he said. “We stop the aggressive recycling we do and we accept the alternative is landfilling.” Corrigan said it would mean abandoning the user-pay principle in favour of taxpayers subsidizing the worst waste offenders who refuse to recycle. “We will lose our reputation as a world leader in this area,” he predicted, adding numerous green recycling businesses that have sprung up will fail if the recyclables they process end up in dumps instead.
Opponents of Bylaw 280 contend Metro’s motive is to keep garbage penned up inside the region to feed a new incinerator. “We find it outrageous that Metro Vancouver wants to use the taxpayers as hostages basically and threaten the province that property taxes have to go up,” said Lori Bryan, executive director of the Waste Management Association of B.C. “They’re forcing the taxpayers and businesses to pay for their inefficiencies and to pay for the incinerator that nobody wants.” Environment Minister Mary Polak said she hopes to hand down a decision on Bylaw 280 in the next few weeks. “It’s a very substantial shift,” she said. “I want to be certain that any decision we make is not going to have unintended consequences.” Metro estimates 100,000 tonnes of garbage is currently being hauled east to avoid its tipping fees, up from 50,000 in 2012.

It was a big day for collecting garbage on Saturday, Sept. 20 when cadets from 754 Phoenix Squadron participated in the Great Canadian Shoreline Cwwleanup. The group collected several bags of litter on that day, as volunteers across the Tri-Cities and B.C. helped clean their local trails and shorelines. In 2013, over 99,000 kg of litter was removed from 3,035 km of shorelines from across Canada. Cleaning up the shores helps raise awareness of how litter adversely affects marine life.
Post-baby body celebrated in PoCo ‘Beautiful Me’ photo book project By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Port Coquitlam photographer is creating a photo book project to raise money for the Pacific Post Partum Support Society (PPPSS). Candice Tizzard said she’d heard of a similar project in the United Kingdom and wanted to recreate it here with local moms. The photos celebrate a realistic version of a mother’s body, for all its changes, and aims to break down the stigma of the post-baby body and post-partum depression. “I’ve had three children myself and my body is not the way it used to be,” said Tizzard, mom of kids aged six, five and three years. “I took it to heart and I’d love to be able to give that power back to women.” Another inspiration for the Beautiful Me
Project came from a TED Talk given by Amy Cuddy, a social psychologist who researches body language and encouraged women’s use of the“power pose.” “I wanted to give women that: Staying open, putting them in poses making them beautiful,” Tizzard said, so that women can “see the beauty that is in their body, rather than the marks the baby has made, which in my opinion should be loved because every mark is a story.” Tizzard, who also works as a birth doula, said she still lives with post-partum depression and has found a great deal of support from PPPSS. The book is her way of giving back to the people that helped her heal. Women have three ways of participating in the project: for $50 their photo and a story or quote will go in the book; for $75 they can keep the photos themselves; or, donate in
to you

any amount they wish. A volunteer hair and make-up artist will style women for the photo shoots, which Tizzard expects to schedule this month. Depending on the level of interest they may continue in November, with the book launch tentatively set for January. All women are welcome to participate and Tizzard notes it’s not limited to mothers. “It’s open to any woman who has had a baby or survived something — one woman we’re in contact with survived cancer, another lost a child at birth, it can be pregnant women, women with caesarians. It’s for all walks, all women who need to love the scars and the skin they’re in.” Tizzard is also welcoming donations for a raffle draw at the book launch. • For more information visit www.beautifulmeproject.com

Moody middle gets creative By Janis Warren
T
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
he music starts at 8:25 a.m. from Monday to Thursday at Ecole Moody Middle School of the Arts. Students at the Port Moody school know they have five minutes to get ready for the school day when the“Prime Time”tunes begin. The sounds vary over the P.A. system, said principal Trevor Kolkea. Last week, he played a Jack White number.“I had on classical music once and nobody seemed to complain,”he said, noting requests are also taken. Three more bells follow during the school day: At 10:22 a.m., for the end of the nutrition break; at 12:38 p.m. to mark the end of lunch; and five minutes later, at 12:43 p.m., for the start of the Brick Block. But, unlike other educational institutions in School District 43, there’s no bell to signal the close of the school day. It was designed that way so students could keep learning and not have to rush to wrap up their projects. “It has changed the way our students think about school,” Kolkea said. “When 3 p.m. comes around here, it’s like osmosis…. Nobody runs away from school any more. They run to it.” Indeed, Moody’s reinvention and reorganization has brought many good things this year besides the title of School of the Arts. For example, on Fridays, students arrive at 8:55 a.m. to give team teachers an extra 30 minutes in the week to brainstorm and to collaborate. That’s because they have now structured the school population into pods — or teams — called Water, Fire, Earth and Wind in order to give students 30 months of middle school rather than the usual three years of 10 months per grade level. Having the pods named after elements “makes a statement,” Kolkea said, “because we want our students to find their element and passion while at Moody.” As well, teaching staff have been given more flexibility, using an inquiry-driven model that allows students to be somewhat self-paced with their students, using teachers as guides. These kind of adjustments have been in the making for a while, since SD43 decided to

“twin” Moody with a new school in Anmore. Eagle Mountain middle opened last month, taking with it about 470 Moody students and principal Nancy Bennett. Kolkea, who went from Moody’s vice-principal to principal for the School of the Arts, said he had many conversations with students and parents last term, trying to convince them to stay. Many students wanted to follow their friends to Eagle Mountain while some wanted to get out of the 45-year-old building and into new digs; others were unsure what a School of the Arts would mean and wanted to give it a year to see how it would pan out. But Kolkea said while Moody has rebranded, its core values have stayed the same. “At Ecole Moody Middle School of the Arts, you are going to experience the same learning as any other middle school but you are going to have an elevated arts component that makes our school unique,” he said. “We are not dramatically different because the middle
school system works.” So far, after only a month into the school year, an “elevated” arts component has meant this: Back-to-back blocks for art classes twice a week and working directly with arts professionals in the community. Recently, Moody students got dramatic arts lessons from Robert Randall of the Young Actors’ Project. Next up on the roster is awardwinning dancer and choreographer Cori Caulfield, founder of the Caulfield School of Dance in Port Moody. Soon, there will also be a partnership with the Port Moody Arts Centre Society, with an artist-in-residence using a Moody classroom as a base. That position, which has yet to be finalized, will include working with students and staff on school art projects as well as creating an after-school drop-in program. And next year will see even more alterations to the campus as Phase 2 gets underway. Construction for a new south building is due to start this winter, aimed at accommodating extra students when the Evergreen Line opens in 2016 and for the added density in Moody
Centre as projected in the new official community plan approved this year by city council. Kolkea said he’s just happy Phase 1 was able to launch this year given the financial pressures for SD43’s board of education and the teachers’ strike. He’s pleased the Mavericks, as the Moody students are called, have now settled into their modified surroundings and have ample classroom space to develop their skills. Kolkea said his staff are also eager to create SD43’s first School of the Arts while continuing to honour Moody’s past. “We want to keep the rich traditions of Terry Fox [Foundation fundraising] and Spirit assemblies,” he said. “How do we do those things now? Well, we have to be realistic. We are not going to fill the gym anymore and raise $35,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation like we have been. “We have to celebrate those goals and create new ones and, for us, that means 100% participation in everything we do and give meaning to every day that we’re here.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

TEEN ART, WORDS
Tri-City teens can win prizes in the first annual youth art exhibition and writing contest. The city’s Friends of Leigh Square Society launched its competition this week for students in grades 9 to 12. The art show, titled Mindfulness in May 2015: The Silence of Stigma,, will run from April 30 to May 14, 2015, and will coincide with National Youth Week and Mental Health Awareness Week. Organizers are accepting 2D and 3D artworks, video and multi-media as well as poetry and writing. The first place winner will receive $150 while the second and third place finishers will get $100 and $75 respectively plus a gift basket for the writing contest winner.

The contest is sponsored by the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation and the B.C. Schizophrenia Society (BCSS). To apply by the Feb. 13, 2015, deadline or learn more about the contest, email moraninthemoon@gmail.com.
MUSIC THERAPY
Port Coquitlam residents can join a new choir that starts this month and aids stroke victims. The city has partnered with the Port Coquitlam Stroke Recovery Association to offer The Singing Project, an informal music program open to anyone interested in song and socializing. The weekly program runs from Thursday, Oct. 23 to Nov. 27 at 1 p.m. in the Gathering Place in Leigh Square Community Arts Village (behind PoCo city hall). Sessions are free of charge and led by a professional musician from Long & McQuade. Refreshments will be provided. Email Deanna MacKinnon at portcoquitlamstrokerecovery@gmail.com.
She was surprised to see his name in the pile. Back in June, when Terry Fox Theatre general manager Mandara Lebovitz was sorting through resumes for the front-of-house job at the Port Coquitlam facility, she saw a CV from Graham Myers. Lebovitz had known Myers through his improv work with Second Storey Theatre, a downtown PoCo comedy club he was forced to close this summer because of financial woes. Myers, it seemed, was eager to get back on track soon. Intrigued, Lebovitz got in touch with administrators at School District 43, which runs the theatre, to see what could be done about making full use of Myers’ talents. Recently, they had received data that showed gaps in the district for affordable, after-school programming — and the Terry Fox catchment was identified, said SD43 assistant superintendent Sylvia Russell. The concept of employing Myers as an arts co-ordinator to create high-quality, low-cost arts workshops for students — while also using the Terry Fox Theatre during its slow times — was appealing to them. “We knew of Graham because he’s worked in the schools a lot in the past as a contractor,”
JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Graham Myers is the new artistic co-ordinator at the Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam. Starting this month, he will run an after-school improv program rotating between five Tri-City secondary schools: Terry Fox, Riverside, Pinetree, Heritage Woods and Dr. Charles Best. Russell said. “He’s done some really neat things at the secondary level and we have had a positive experience.” This month, Myers will officially begin his after-school improv classes for the academic year at Fox, Riverside, Pinetree, Heritage Woods and Dr. Charles Best secondaries. He has developed a curriculum for the two-hour sessions built on last year’s popular Improv Warehouse. In that after-school program, which culminated in a sold-out performance at the Evergreen
Cultural Centre in Coquitlam, 30 students were coached by Second Storey mentors, with the aim to lay a foundation in improv and theatre as well as to establish a group dynamic where everybody was respected and respectful. They also learned better listening, attention and storytelling skills. “If I had this when I was
growing up, I would have been a lot better off,” said Myers, a graduate of PoCo high school. Myers said the improv program will be especially beneficial for students who don’t play sports or want to do more academics after school. The students who will be most interested are those who are already
registered in a school acting class “and think it’s going to be an easy ‘A.’ They’re the quirky and awkward kids who don’t tend to fit in. They are creative and smart and they need to develop some confidence to succeed in life.” • To learn more, email graham.theimprovguy@ gmail.com. jwarren@tricitynews.com

New season for Stage 43 By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Coquitlam community theatre troupe opens its new season tomorrow (Thursday) with a comedy about a road trip from hell. Award-winning director Dale Kelly leads a cast of 10 for Stage 43 Theatre Society’s production of Mama Won’t Fly, with Jean Kosar taking on the role of Mama Norleen Sprunt. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Kelly of the play, which will be his 83rd show to direct. “There are lots of twists and turns in the plot. When I was reading it for the first time, I didn’t know where it was going, which always keeps me interested.” Kelly, who has also directed for other Lower Mainland theatre companies such as Vagabond and
White Rock Players, praised the leads Kosar and Colleen Bignell — who portrays the daughter, Savannah Honeycutt — for their high energy and fine acting skills. Last year, Kosar won the outstanding actress award at the Fraser Valley Zone Festival for Stage 43’s Woman in Mind. Kelly has worked with Kosar and Bignell for past shows as well as Sarien Slabbert (the bride-tobe Hayley Quinn in Mama Won’t Fly). Kelly directed her last year in Dearly Departed for Stage 43. The other actors in Mama Won’t Fly are: Michelle Berg, Helen Volkow, Tiffany Markwart, Ryan Johnson, Richard Pare and Roger Meloche. Kelly said the plays picked this season were chosen by Stage 43 for two reasons: Their strong
scripts and light sets. That’s been helpful as the company is currently without a permanent home and doesn’t have the capacity to store or put up full sets for rehearsals. As a result, Steel Magnolias (in January) will revolve around a beauty parlour set while Secrets of a Soccer Mom (next spring) will centre on a field. • Mama Won’t Fly runs Thursday to Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam); Oct. 19 at 2 p.m., and Oct. 22 to 25 at 8 p.m. Tickets at $22/$18 are available at the box office by calling 604-927-6555 or visiting evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

Cats notch first win of the season PoMo Panthers split pair of weekend games By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Th e Po r t M o o dy Panthers have finally put a notch in the win column, besting the Abbotsford Pilots 7-1 in front of the home crowd on Saturday night. The Pacific Junior Hockey League squad has struggled so far this season and currently sits in last place in the Tom Shaw Conference. But on Saturday, the Cats got their first taste of victory — and in dominating fashion. After a scoreless first period, the Panthers got on the board with a marker from Derian White, who buried a pass from Adam Rota, eight minutes into the second. White followed up with a power play marker two minutes later before Rota notched his first and second of the night to give his club a 4-0 lead. But the Cats weren’t finished scoring yet. Rota, who was named first star of the game, finished off the hat trick in the third, while Ravinder Shokar and Cameron Obcena both notched singles in the win. Spencer Kozlowski had his strongest game of the season in net, stopping 33 of the 34 shots he faced. White was named second star of the match while Port Moody’s Sammy Zeinab was named third star in the 7-1 win. It was the same score but a different result 48 hours earlier when the

Panthers lost 7-1 to the division-leading Richmond Sockeyes. The Thursday night road game got off to a bad start for Port Moody, who was down 4-0 midway through the game. A goal from Stefano Centanni late in the second period was the only offence the Cats could muster during the match. Richmond added three unanswered markers in the final period.

In the second half, Vollman, Portchellato and Nick Leonard scored, while Faber earned his sixth shutout in seven games. The Gunners’ Premier Division squad also notched a win last weekend.The team dominated possession and scoring chances but needed a Riki Nakayama tap-in off a Jeff Rogers header in the 94 minute to pull out the win. Despite carrying the play, the Gunners gave
up the opening goal off a corner kick but evened it up six minutes later when Rogers buried a Russ Huggon feed. In division three soccer, the Port Moody Gunners managed a 3-0 win over the North Coquitlam Knights, with Sina Najafi, Matt Mobilio and Dan Bordington each netting goals.

UBC’s Buonassisi named Canada West third star Po r t C o q u i t l a m hockey player Nick Buonassisi was named Canada West Universities Athletic Association third star of the week for his three-goal performance with the UBC Thunderbirds last weekend. The second-year forward opened the scoring Friday night when the T-birds took down Mount Royal
University Cougars 5-3 in what was MRU’s first loss of the season. He continued the heroics Saturday afternoon, scoring both of UBC’s goals in a 3-2 overtime loss against the Cougars. With his team down 2-0 in the second period, Buonassisi scored a shorthanded marker at 14:20 of the middle frame to get the T-Birds back into the game. He
found the net again at 2:01 of the third to tie the score at two each. That goal allowed UBC to take the game into overtime and earn its third point of the weekend. The Thunderbirds are 2-2-2 and will take on the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns this weekend at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre.

The Centennial Centaurs AAA high school football team is off to a rough 0-4 start, however the junior varsity squad is currently undefeated in its season.
Win streak continues The Terry Fox Ravens have secured first place in the AAA high school football eastern conference after taking down the No. 3 ranked St. Thomas More secondary Knights last Friday. The score was close early on in the bout but it didn’t take long for the Port Coquitlam team, which has put up the second highest number of points in the league so far this season, to take control of the match. Touchdowns from Mike West put the game out of reach in the third quarter for the Knights, who ended up losing 3815, the Burnaby school’s first loss of the regular season. With the win, Fox is now 4-0. Meanwhile, the Centennial Centaurs are struggling, currently setting in second to last place. The Coquitlam club’s latest loss came at the hands of Lord Tweedsmuir, who defeated the Cents at home 20-0.
JV CENTAURS
The Centennial Centaurs Jr. Varsity football team extended its winning streak last with
a 17-0 win over the Frank Hurt secondary Hornets last weekend. Moe Hassan rushed for 112 yards during the game, while Cents quarterback Max Kennedy threw for over 159 yards and completed to touchdown passes to Nic Greene and Mac Stephens. Green caught the pass for a 56-yard gain, while Stephens had over 105 total yards of offensive production. Ryoyu Inoue also added a few points when he kicked a 25-yard filed goal late in the game. Centennial was also dominant on the defensive side of the ball. Although the club was missing Leon Hanelt, Malcolm Taiwo, and Johey Patterson to injury, players like Jakob Scriver, Joe Bianchi and Arif Ansari were ready to step up and rookies Elijah Uema-Martin, Hunter MacMurchy and Uriah Hestdalen also made big contributions. The Hornets could not find the end zone, with Greene, Stephens and Keon Fuoco all grabbing interceptions, while Scriver had 11 tackles. The win improves Centennials Jr. Centaurs to 5-0 this season.
