SANDY GETS SCARY – AGAIN

the tri-city news
People suffering from chronic illnesses, cancer and other diseases may one day be able to get some relief from cannabis products picked up at a Port Moody store. At Tuesday’s council meeting, representatives from CannaLifeMD laid out their plans for a medicinal cannabis store they hope to locate somewhere in PoMo. “We provide access to medicinal cannabis, education and products that will enhance the lives of Port Moody residents” suffering from a variety of illnesses, said CannaLife partner Cher Bond. “We’re going after the 45-plus target market, and we’re looking for an upscale clinical environment.” The group has already met with the Port Moody Police and came to council to “open a dialogue” and be fully transparent, Bond said. Her CannaLifeMD partner, Gabriele Jerousek, outlined the science behind the health benefits of cannabis products, which offer relief from aches and pains, nausea and more. What the tinctures, lotions and oils would not do, she added, is get people “stoned.” The group also noted a doctor and/ or nurse practitioner would be associated with the clinic, which would also offer educational resources. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Coquitlam grandfather Alexander “Sandy” Olynyk is up to his old tricks again. He has decorated his home at 2980 Cape Crt., across from Ranch Park elementary school, with scary monsters, including a 12-foot-tall Frankenstein, pop-up spiders and tombstones for Halloween tonight (Friday). Olynyk regularly sees creeped-out kids not wanting to climb his driveway to get treats but the “Sandyland” haunted house display is all for a good cause: Olynyk is also raising money for the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation.
HOMELESSNESS IN TRI-CITIES
More homeless seek shelter PoMo church to open doors to shelter Saturday DIAne sTrAnDberg the tri-city news
The temporary TriCities bridge shelter for the homeless has seen a spike in clients since it opened a month ago, and with more mouths to feed comes the need for more donations. “We have enough vol-
unteers for now,” said Rev. Julie Lebrun, “but we are in need of food and monetary donations.” Starting tomorrow (Saturday), St. Andrew’s United Church in Port Moody will take over the responsibility of hosting the temporary shelter from the Northside Kingsway Church in Port Coquitlam, which has been feeding and sheltering more than two dozen people a night in since Oct. 1. (Shelter users are bused in to the church
from specially designated spots throughout the TriCities). Normally at this time of year, there wouldn’t be more than a dozen people seeking shelter. But as many as two dozen people, and at times as many as 30, have been housed through the program, run by the Hope for Freedom Society. With demand so high this early in the season, Lebrun wants to be prepared. see DONATIONS, page A9

COUNCIL CANDIDATES SURVEY
TRUSTEE CANDIDATES SURVEY
Amalgamation, campaign Fiscal responsibility spending & quitting early is key, say candidates DiAne StrAnDberG

Dc MEEtiNG
The Tri-CiTy News
Close to half of the candidates running for city councils in the Nov. 15 civic elections believe the TriCities should amalgamate or that the issue should at least be studied. The statistics were pulled from a candidate survey conducted by The Tri-City News, which found that 40% of respondents are in favour of studying the issue while 6.6% said the three cities should consolidate. Most of the candidates leaning toward amalgamation are running in Coquitlam. Eleven of the 18 who supported studying the issue and all three people who said yes to consolidation are running in the area’s largest city. Of the mayoral candidates, Coquitlam’s Lou Sekora said yes to amalgamation while incumbent Mayor Richard Stewart said the issue should be studied. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, his challenger Eric Hirvonen, Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay and his challenger Gaetan Royer all said no to the idea of turning the three cities into one. Of the 50 people running in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, 45 responded to The Tri-City News’ survey, which was launched as a way of gauging the candidates’ views on a variety of issues. When asked if they use public transportation, 71.1% of respondents said yes and 86.6% said they believe the cities should spend more money to improve cycling infrastructure. Another 86.6% said that cities have a responsibility

to fill out a readers’ election survey, go to: www.surveymonkey.com/s/63XYlFN to ensure the availability of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households. Of the candidates running in Port Moody and Coquitlam, 67.9% of respondents said they believe development around the Evergreen Line is moving in the right direction. In PoCo, 90.9% of candidates said they were in favour of a tax increase if it meant building a new recreation complex in the city’s downtown area. All but one of the 45 respondents — Coquitlam council candidate Massimo Mandarino — promised they would not quit their council job to run for higher office at any point during the four-year term. (Candidates have made similar promises in the past. In 2011, then councillors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson both said at the Tri-Cities’
Chamber of Commerce allcandidates’ meeting that the would not resign their positions to seek higher office. Both ended up quitting council less than two years later — forcing a byelection — after they ran and won in the 2013 provincial election. Reimer, a BC Liberal, is now the MLA the Port Moody-Coquitlam while the NDP’s Robinson won the CoquitlamMaillardville riding.) The survey also asked how much money candidates plan on spending to get into office. A majority of the respondents (35) said they will spend more than $5,000 on their campaign while three said they would spend between $3,000 and $5,000, five said they would spend between $1,000 and $3,000 and two said they would spend less than $500. The survey also tried to gauge where some of that money and support was
Douglas College is getting in on the election action in the TriCities. The college’s David Lam Campus in Coquitlam is hosting an “interactive dialogue event” — open to the public — with candidates running for election in the region. The format will involve candidates and attendees gathering in small groups to discuss issues such as transportation, housing, local business and safety. The free, public event takes place next Friday, Nov. 7, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at the Coquitlam campus, located at 1250 Pinetree Way.

Nineteen candidates said they expected to receive an endorsement from a political party or politicians while 12 people responded that they didn’t expect to receive any endorsements at all. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC
The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam is the most expensive city for mounting a school trustee campaign, according to estimates of expenditures by candidates in the Nov. 15 election. In a Tri-City News survey made available to all school board candidates through the popular online service SurveyMonkey, four Coquitlam candidates said they planned to spend $3,000 or more to win votes in the approximately five-week campaign.
cOQUitlaM
Three new candidates whose estimates were in the $3,000-plus category (Chuck Denison, Shari O’Neill and Jodie Wickens) are also endorsed by CUPE Local 561, whose president Dave Ginter last week said he wanted to unseat current trustees who are running for re-election. One of the $3,000 spenders, Barb Hobson, is an experienced campaigner who was a school trustee from 1996 to 2002. Meanwhile, three candidates said they expected to spend between $1,000 and $3,000 — Jodie Wickens, a CUPEendorsed candidate, as well as Longshu Luo and Larry Ryan. Only one candidate, Rob Bottos, said he would be spending $500 or less for his campaign. Expenditures for school trustee could result in a big pay day for the winners as School District 43 trustees are the highest paid in the Lower Mainland, a fact that only Port Moody candidate Charlie Loo ap-
pears to have mentioned in his campaign material, promising to cut the trustee indemnity by 20% or give the equivalent away to charity if he’s elected. But the expenditures could also reflect the higher than usual level of interest in this year’s school trustee elections in the wake of financial turmoil over the last two years in SD43. This election, 11 people are running for four spots in Coquitlam, compared to five in 2011, and the majority of respondents (five of eight) stated fiscal accountability is the top job of a trustee. Cahoon, Denison, Hobson, Luo, O’Neill and Ryan stated that fiscal accountability is the top job of trustees while Bottos and Wickens stated that lobbying for more education funds from the provincial government is trustees’ most important task.
POcO
In Port Coquitlam, only Michael Thomas, a CUPEendorsed candidate, plans on spending $3,000 or more on his campaign while Chris King, a Coquitlam resident who is also CUPE endorsed, plans to spend between $1,000 and $3,000. Incumbent Judy Shirra also plans to spend between $1,000 and $3,000 while Liam Coughlan will spend $500 or less. Of the four candidates for two positions in PoCo, three stated that fiscal accountability is the top job of a trustee — Coughlan, Thomas and Shirra — while King stated that lobbying for more funds from the province is the most

important job.
PORt MOODY
The two CUPE-endorsed candidates, Jeanette Jackson and Lisa Park, said they plan to spend $3,000 or more on their campaign while incumbent Melissa Hyndes plans to spend between $1,000 and $3,000 on her race. Loo and Alexander Peter Swistak will spend $500 or less, according to their response in the survey. Fiscal accountability is the top job of trustees, according to Jackson, Park and Loo, while Hyndes said it is supporting vulnerable students and Loo said lobbying. There are two spots for Port Moody trustees on the school board.
thE villaGEs
In the villages, which are jointly represented by one trustee, candidates still have to shell out to pay for their campaigns, according to the survey. Incumbent Holly Butterfield, who has run unopposed in the past, plans to spend between $500 and $1,000 on her campaign while Kerri Palmer Isaak, currently a village councillor, will spend between $1,000 to $3,000 and Celia Chiang, a CUPE-endorsed candidate, will spend $3,000 or more. Gwen Chute plans to spend $500 or less. Of the four candidates for the single trustee spot, two stated lobbying for more funding is the most important trustee job — Chiang and Chute — while Butterfield said it is supporting vulnerable students and Palmer Isaak stated fiscal accountability. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Two people were sent to hospital and Lilydale Food Products in Port Coquitlam was evacuated Thursday morning after an ammonia leak at the Kingsway Avenue facility. PoCo Fire Chief Nick Delmonico told The TriCity News that a broken pipe was likely the source of the leak. Crews were still on scene at 1:30 p.m. Power to the building was shut off due to concerns about the possibility of an explosion. As well, the building was being vented Thursday afternoon; earlier, firefighters had concerns about how much ammonia was in the building and how it would affect people in neighbouring businesses. Initially, two workers were reported missing, Delmonico said. Firefighters entered the facility to look for them but both were found unharmed outside the building. This is not the first time fire crews have been called out to the Lilydale facility. In 2012, staff were evacuated during a similar incident that saw a tank full of ammonia spring a leak. Employees were forced to wait outside the building for three hours while a chemical specialist was sent inside to replace a valve and ventilate the building. In 2011, the Alberta government laid charges against Lilydale Inc. after an ammonia leak at its Calgary plant two years prior. The province said the Edmonton-based company didn’t make a timely report about the incident to Alberta Environment.

HOMELESSNESS IN TRI-CITIES
Donations, help needed continued from front page
St. Andrew’s doesn’t have a very large congregation, she said, so volunteers and donations must come from the wider Tri-City community. And because the church will be looking after the shelter through the end of the year, a lot of food is needed. “It’s a true faith story, really,” Lebrun said, “We put the word out to the community about what we need and the donations come. People are very generous.” Tri-City residents are encouraged to imagine what they would want if they were sleeping in a room on a mat with a lot of people — ear plugs are a luxury — and what they would want to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner because three meals a day are provided to shelter users. “Convenience and comfort is what people need and want,” she said. Why the shelter numbers are so high is a bit of a mystery. Rob Thiessen, managing director for the Hope for Freedom Society, which has been running the temporary mat program together with local Tri-City churches for seven years, said the homeless population is transient, so the reason for the spike is difficult to ascertain. “We’ve had good num-
bers all month long,” he said. “Our numbers are showing at least a third more per night than usual. We’re trying to figure that out.” Out of the approximately 60 homeless, 25 live in the area and Thiessen said they refuse to use the shelter, camping deep in the woods around the region. The remainder move between communities or use the shelter sometimes but not regularly. The good news is that people who do use the shelter often connect up with social services and end up moving into more permanent housing. “The only [firm] statistic we have is when we can move them off the street, and since the shelter opened [in October], five people have moved off the street into housing and rehab, that sort of thing.” Lebrun said it’s important the community embrace those who need shelter and find a way to help them because the goal is to move them into a home. • For more information about the Bridge Shelter at St. Andrew’s and to view a new video, “Beyond Soup and Socks,” about the church’s shelter program and plans for a permanent shelter in Coquitlam, visit sauc.ca. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

OUR OPINION
Engage online
the tri-cities doesn’t have online voting — yet — but the interested voter can find out a lot about their candidates without leaving the comfort of their home or office. thanks to the tri-cities chamber of commerce, which has stepped up to webcast its four all-candidates meetings next week and provide an opportunity to ask questions online, voters can tune in and get involved in the debate using their computer, smartphone or tablet. the service means people don’t have to leave home to attend a meeting. For council watchers and candidate supporters who typically attend these meetings, these changes could add another wrinkle: if they want to stack the deck with soft questions for their chosen candidates and tough ones for others, they’ll have to be even more organized. but the real goal of this project should be to get more people involved in the election campaign, especially those who don’t typically go to meetings or have other things to do, such as a variety of parental duties. the online world has given us a lot of innovations — some bad, some good and some merely a waste of time — but increasing voter engagement through the internet is one benefit that voters should take advantage of.

omehow, for so many, canada seemed beyond the reach, or even interest, of islamic extremist terrorists. We sat secure and perhaps just a little smug behind our porous borders and offered sympathy and, in some cases, self-righteous judgment, as our u.s. neighbours writhed in shock and grief after a group of terrorists flew jet airliners into the World trade center towers and the Pentagon, killing thousands. We watched television reports of subway bombings in britain and terrorist acts in France. We sent our soldiers to afghanistan, where they fought alongside americans to stem the fundamentalist taliban tide. With detachment, we followed the civil war in syria, and with varying degrees of understanding or disinterest, watched it birth an entity that matched and eclipsed the brutal violence of al-qaida, responsible for the 9/11 attack. also driven by extremely twisted interpretations of their religion, the islamic state in iraq and syria, or isis, poses the intensely dangerous threat of destabilizing the entire middle east and exporting its extremist visions around the globe.
TC
the harper government recently decided — and rightly so — to send canadian F-18 combat aircraft to join the coalition currently bombing isis in iraq and syria in a longterm attempt to blunt its advances and agendas. through it all, most canadians went about their daily business, some unaware, others simply unconcerned. this is canada, after all, home of the wonderfully free and mildly naive. and then on Oct. 20, a young man, apparently inspired by the online urgings of an islamic fundamentalist recruiter, “martyred” himself by driving his car at two canadian soldiers on a street in quebec, killing one of them. the assailant was later slain by police. two days later, the shock waves went to the core of the country from coast to coast as a gunman fatally shot a soldier standing sentry at the national War memorial near Parliament hill in Ottawa. the assailant then went into the Parliament buildings, where multiple shots were fired, and he was eventually gunned down by the sergeant-at-arms. early indications are that he, too, was a subject of extremist islamic indoctrination. he chose to strike at one of the most prominent symbols of canadian identity.
how terribly ironic that the soldiers who died in these incidents joined the forces to protect the very freedoms that are being abused by terrorists who live in this country, believe as they wish and teach their evil in gatherings and via the internet and social media. that’s the truly unsettling factor in this. these individuals did not arrive in this country mere days or even months ago, imported foreign killers bent on violence. they grew up in our cities and towns. they may have received their indoctrination in the country or from online sources from anywhere in the world. regardless, canada has homegrown terrorists. how many more are out there? What do they intend to do? it would be highly unrealistic to believe this is over. it would be wildly naive to think the authorities can detect and prevent all other further attacks. canadian laws don’t permit law enforcers to arrest and detain for an indeterminate time anyone who merely talks about religious extremism, or even openly supports it. this is, after all, a free country. now the acutely difficult challenge is to preserve it, from within.

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Halloween means fireworks in many cities. and felt the ground shake when some of the highcalibre fireworks exploded. It sounded like a war-zone.
Noting that our municipality has already banned the sale of fireworks within our city, perhaps a ban on issuing licences could follow because the chemicals in fireworks pollute our environment and there is information that they present threats to people’s health, much like wood smoke does.

The Editor, Re. Lou Sekora’s campaign ad (page A5, The TriCity News, Oct. 29). Lou Sekora’s campaign ad states that the Braid Street overpass is the only provincially funded overpass that has not been completed due to a lack of leadership from the Coquitlam mayor’s office, for which he is running. It was New Westminster council that rejected TransLink’s proposals for a North Fraser perimeter road and the Braid/ Brunette interchange improvement. The city of Coquitlam even had to resort to arbitration just to replace the Braid Street Bailey bridge due to structural issues, over the city of New Westminster’s objections. I found Coun. Sekora’s ad to be a distortion of the facts. Phil Christie, Coquitlam

fireworks, some compassion could be shown in respect to the veterans who live in our midst and individuals who have immigrated and made Canada their new home because many of these people have experienced a real war. Further, we should consider pets, whose hearing is much more sensitive than that of humans. Some day, we may have to do without the noise that is so noticeable on the last day of October. But abstinence from the use of fireworks would not mean that the world stops turning. Brie Oishi, Port Coquitlam
The Editor, For the past few years, I have noticed the wonderful flower displays along the streets, at parks and at some intersections in Port Coquitlam. Parks and playgrounds also are well maintained and the streets are litter-free. To those who maintain our city, well done, not to forget the help given by volunteers and city staff with the annual Coquitlam River cleanup. Al Williams, Port Coquitlam

The Editor, With Halloween tonight, some people are looking forward to putting on a fireworks show and our local First Nation has planned yet another dazzling display of fireworks. I would say that Port Coquitlam Coun. Mike Forrest had a good point a few weeks back by suggesting that the sale of fireworks on the Kwikwetlem First Nation property be discontinued. Last year, its Halloween fireworks event was extremely noisy and residents living in this vicinity noticed their windows rattle

PORT COQUITLAM
Bucks, turnout at PoCo events The city of Port Coquitlam came in under budget on two annual festivals held earlier this year. According to reports released at the city’s healthy communities committee meeting this week, May Day celebrations cost $4,500 more than budgeted, at $47,000, while the Canada Day party came in $5,000 under budget at $27,000. Staff say the 91st annual May Day task force gained extra community support this year following last year’s centennial celebrations in the city. New members were “looking for opportunities to put their mark on the festival” to make it more vibrant, the report states. More than 200 people took part in the May pole dance while other activities over the 10 days — such as the block party showcase, art show, Mother’s Day picnic and parade — were also well attended. As for the July 1 party, the number of visitors was up at Lions and Castle parks for the event that included a fishing derby, pancake breakfast, multicultural entertainment, firefighters’ salmon BBQ and fireworks. Feedback received for the reports will be used in planning the two festivals next year, city staff said. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

PORT MOODY
extra utilities fees & extra park land Increases come from city and Metro Vancouver By Sarah Payne
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody residents can expect a $24 increase to their utility bills for 2015. The bills — $988 for a single family home — include fees for water and sewer from Metro Vancouver as well as city charges for garbage and green waste (increases to the latter two will add $11 to the utility bill, of which $5 is for a reserve fund to cover any contamination penalties from Multi-Materials BC) and a $13 charge for curbside glass pick-up.
The five-year plan calls for similar increases through to 2019, when the total bill is projected to be $1,170. Other Moody news:
PARK LAND
PoMo added more park space to its roster after approving an official community plan and zoning bylaw amendment this week. At Tuesday’s meeting, council changed the designations of three city properties on Mercier Road, off Ioco Road near San Remo Drive, from single-family to parks and open space.
A staff report notes the properties are forested and Turner Creek runs directly through them. As well, the site is within an environmentally sensitive area identified in the OCP; the Turner Creek ravine and riparian zone provides a partially interrupted wildlife corridor from the north shore to Burrard Inlet. The creek is a seminatural drainage channel and historically provided spawning and rearing habitat for salmonids. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

PORT MOODY EVENTS
on November 15th
rotary rolls out 2015 PM ribFest fundraiser The Tri-CiTy News
Ribs. For a cause. When you stop salivating, you’ll want to mark your calendar for next July, when the Rotary Club of Port Moody hosts its first RibFest. Needing to replace its annual golf fundraiser, Rotary cast an eye to its fellow clubs in B.C. and across Canada, and found other chapters enjoying great success — not to mention serving up great food — with their RibFest events. PoMo Rotary now aims to recreate the family event at Rocky Point Park, modelled after the Kamloops Rotary’s annual shindig, aiming for July 2015 for the first year and likely in August in the years to come. At Tuesday’s city council meeting, PoMo Rotary’s Ian MacPhail said the event would be a chance to showcase Port Moody as a tourist destination, offering a family fun zone, live music, a beer garden, likely a salmon bake and, of course, loads of ribs (Kamloops had a corn roast but MacPhail said it would be too early in the season to do the same here). The weekend-long event is expected to attract about 35,000 people, MacPhail said. He asked PoMo council for in-kind support for the event, worth a total value of about $20,000: portable toilets and servicing; recycling and waste containers and collection; staff for site preparation, litter clean-up, washroom cleaning and site clean-up; and policing support for the event and beer garden. MacPhail said Rotary expects to make about $30,000 in profit that would be funnelled into community donations. The local group contributes about $90,000 each year to organizations such as the Share food bank, Eagle Ridge Manor, Mossom Creek Hatchery and more.
The winners are in and several Port Moody businesses are now basking in the glow of a 2014 Spike Awards. The economic development committee considered more than 450 nominations, honouring about 20 local businesses at the gala event at the Inlet Theatre last week. Yellow Dog Brewery Co., open just three months ago on Murray Street, won in the Tourist Destination category (Rocky Point Ice Cream earned the honourable mention slot). It was another feather in the cap for the PoMo business, which went on to earn top honours at the BC Beer Awards over the weekend. At the latter event, Yellow Dog’s Shake A Paw Smoked Brown Porter picked up Best in Show, beating out 465 other entries from breweries throughout the province. Back to the Spike Awards, the Gallery Bistro on Clarke Street won for Arts in Business (Beyond the Grape, honourable mention) while Pinball Alley Vintage won for Street Appeal (Village Toy Shop, honourable mention). Looking for great customer service? Head to Healing Cedar Wellness, the winner in that category, or Revive Hair and Body Lounge, which earned an honourable mention. Keeping things green is the LFT Group, which won the Environmental Sustainability award (Reed Point Marina, honourable mention) and the business keeping its employees happy is BTM Lawyers LLP, which won Employer of Choice. If you’d rather work at a park than a law firm, check out honourable mention winner Rocky Point Ice Cream and Rocky Point Kayak. Pin Up Hair Boutique was named best homebased business, with Waddling Woofer notching an honourable mention. Businesses staying ahead of the pack are Pacific Coast Terminals and Port Moody Integrated Health, which won top spot and honourable mention, respectively, in the technology and innovation category. New kids on the block Shop Local Port Moody won for the best one-minute pitch. • For a list of all the nominated businesses, visit www.portmoody.ca.
have this event in August but, for this year coming up, we don’t have that option,” MacPhail said. “As for volunteers, Rotary is pretty good at that.” Dilworth also suggested RibFest might conflict with the food cart program but MacPhail said the food truck operators are welcome to set up during RibFest and may well benefit from the large crowds at the park during the weekend. Coun. Rosemary Small did not support the motion to provide in-kind support, plus policing costs, saying it

Diana Dilworth said, “I’m concerned about event fatigue in terms of volunteers, sponsors, staff,” and noted there is already a parade and community picnic at the end of June, Golden Spike Days kicking off around Canada Day and RibFest coinciding with the start of the Summer Sundays concert series at the park. “Our future goals would

was too much money for an untested event, particularly with so many other events already happening in July. The rest of council voted in favour of it as well as a motion to have the chair of the economic development and arts and culture committees to meet with Rotary Port Moody to see if RibFest could be combined with the community picnic and/ or fireworks events planned for next summer.

An interesting historical footnote, at one time (in the late 19th century, Edison was a community of Utopian Socialists known as the Equality Colony). Not sure if I’ll ever get completely comfortable with the central instrument panel in a Prius. A switch button on the dash that changed kilometres to miles, however, was brilliantly simple and perfect for this trip. My biggest beef with the Prius v was cabin road noise at high speeds. Depending on the highway surface it can be so loud that it’s hard to converse with a front passenger. Bigger and better, the Prius v offers the functionality and versatility of a wagon, for a relatively small price premium. Toyota’s tried and trusted Hybrid Synergy Drive system offers outstanding fuel economy and surprisingly good power, when needed.

Along the way, we will visit many locations and attractions made famous by Hollywood and many a TV documentary, not to mention dozens of life-onthe-road books. Personally, I’m looking forward to spotting the roadside ghost towns that inspired the “Cars” movies (who said they’re just for kids?). And in New Mexico and Arizona, my eyes will be scanning for locations featured in “Breaking Bad.” We’re camping under the stars in the Grand Canyon. Sheesh!

Driving all 3,945 km of the famous Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica has always been on my bucket list. However, I’m hoping that after enduring a week on that often rocky and rough road that it will not be the last of my ever expanding must-do-before-I-die list! On Nov. 1, I head to Chicago for a route briefing and meeting with Gary Fleshman, who has driven the route more than 100 times. I am one of 14 journalists from across Canada participating in the drive, staged by Nissan Canada to launch the 2015 versions of the Altima sedan and Rogue sport ute. Interestingly, a few people plan to do only half of the journey — seems to me that’s like climbing halfway up Everest! The daily trek will range between 450 and 600 km, getting us to California by the evening of Saturday, Nov. 9. We’ll pass through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma,

Of course, I’m making a compilation tape, I mean picking a playlist for my MP3 player. I will be sharing my adventures with Driveway readers during and after the trip.

THINGS-TO-DO GUIDE: OCT. 31 – NOV. 2
Scare up some fun with the kids this haunted Halloween weekend Sarah Payne
The Tri-CiTy News
Make it a spook-tacular weekend to remember, full of wine, crafts, dancing, art and, oh yes, way too many of those mini chocolate bars (yes, they still count).
Friday, Oct. 31 HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Time to squeeze your little ghosts and goblins into their too-adorable costumes for a (hopefully dry) night of trickor-treating. Be sure to keep safety in mind — think reflectors, walking in groups and crossing only at designated crosswalks. And for those who are just kids at heart, enjoy the festivities but be sure to arrange for a safe ride home.
AVENUE Q
Think a musical with Sesame Street-like puppets is just for kids? Think again. The Arts Club on Tour’s Avenue Q, running at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam), tells the story of a freshly minted college grad who lands in New York and discovers his neighbours include some rather fuzzy new friends. The show is packed with songs that are funny, witty, poignant and not necessarily PC. Tickets are $45/$35/$20, available at www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca or 604-927-6555.
Saturday, Nov. 1 SPOOKY SALSA?
Get your ghoulish groove on at the Salsa & Latin Halloween Night at the Evergreen Cultural Centre from 7 p.m. to midnight. Dress to spook your fellow dancers, who will be getting down to some sweet salsa, merengue and cha cha beats. The free class starts at 7:30 p.m., the party at 8:30 p.m. Tickets to the licensed event are $10 at the door. Visit www.hotsalsadancezone.com for more info.
BC UNCORKED
Sip your way through the BC Uncorked: The Art of Food and Wine event at the grand hall at Heritage Woods secondary (1300 David Ave., PoMo). There will be wines from top B.C. wineries and nibbles from local restaurants like Browns Socialhouse, Club Ilia, Hard Rock Casino and more. Tickets are $55 (proceeds support Ride2Survive), available at www.wced.com.
CRAFT FAIR
Head to Terry Fox secondary (1260 Riverwood Gate, PoCo) to find loads of treasures up for grabs at a craft fair running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Discover great holiday gift ideas and enjoy a variety of baked goods as well. The event raises funds for the school’s after-grad celebrations in 2015.
POCO ART

MMM, BREKKIE
Since the market is opening with breakfast, it’s only fitting that we talk about breakfast for a bit. Often called the most important meal of the day, did you know that you can get an astonishing variety of breakfast foods at the market? Eggs are the obvious choice and two of our vendors sell them. Farm fresh and organic, I think they are best when prepared simply so that all the goodness shines through. How about egg in the hole? Take a thick slice of good bread from one of the four bread bakers, cut a hole in the middle, butter both sides and place it in a pre-heated frying pan. Crack an egg in the hole (thus the name! ) and fry the bread till the egg is almost set. Flip it over and continue cooking until the egg is cooked the way you

I’ll share my family pancake recipe. I like to double the dry ingredients and keep them mixed up in a container in the cupboard so we can have pancakes whenever we like — for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

2 cups white flour (you can substitute 1 cup of whole wheat flour) 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 2 eggs 2 cups milk 2 tbsp oil
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl and then add them to the dry ingredients, mixing it all together. Ladle the batter into a hot frying pan and cook on one side until dry bubbles begin to form. Flip pancakes and cook 2-3 more minutes. • Pancake add ins and topping ideas: Blueberries, diced apple and chocolate chips are all delicious stirred into the batter. Melted honey with blueberries is fabulous on top, or try sautéing apple slices in butter and cinnamon, and spooning that over the pancakes. like it. You can sprinkle a little cheese on top, too. Oh my, is this tasty! If you don’t feel like cooking, grab a bag of granola from Gesundheit, some apples from Harvey’s Orchard and you’ve got breakfast on the run. Some locally roasted,
hand-picked coffee beans from Handworks Coffee Studio will get you that cuppa joe you need, too. Karen Curtis is the Lemonade Lady (www.kicslemonade.ca and kicslemonade.blogspot. ca) at the Coquitlam Farmers Market. Her column runs once a month.

A bursary draw at Douglas College’s A Class Act fundraiser brought in $2,000 for student aid. And the winner of the naming rights was Selina Robinson (middle), the NDP MLA for Coquitlam-Maillardville who chose to name it the Tri-Cities Community Bursary Fund. Also pictured are Sarah Lock (left) of the Douglas College Foundation and Hazel Postma, associate VP of external relations at Douglas College.

Porte offering a great opportunity at The Maxx @ Verve By Kerry Vital
Porte Development is offering maximum value at The Maxx @ Verve in Surrey. The third and final phase of the popular condominium community includes the finishes from the first and second phases, Verve and Social @ Verve. “This is a great opportunity for buyers,” says Jeanette Chaput, director of sales and marketing for Porte. “We’ve had a lot of first-time buyers interested in Verve.” To help those first-time buyers, Porte is once again offering
their popular flexible deposit program at The Maxx @ Verve. “It gives buyers the chance to build their downpayment as we build their home,” Chaput says. The homes at The Maxx range from 540 to 1,300 square feet, in a variety of junior one-bedroom, one-, two- and threebedroom plans. The nine-foot ceilings (11 feet on the top floor) lend an incredible sense of space to your home, accented by large windows and laminate flooring. The kitchens feature full-size stainless-steel appliances,
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
polished quartz countertops and under-cabinet valence lighting. The high-gloss upper cabinetry is complemented by warm wood lowers, and each floorplan includes some unique features such as wine racks, pantries or built-in work stations. Ensuite bathrooms feature custom-designed vanities with polished quartz countertops, undermount sinks and vanity drawers, complemented by porcelain tile floors. The squareprofile deep soaker tub is lit by recessed lighting. Most twobedroom homes include oversized shower stalls with semiframeless glass doors. “Our location is the best,” Chaput says. “We’re just a sixminute walk from King George SkyTrain station and 13 minutes to Central City mall.” Verve is very close to dining, leisure and recreation opportunities as well as the Surrey campus of Simon Fraser University, Surrey City Hall and the City Centre library. Homes start at $169,900. For more information, visit www. porte.ca/verve, call 604-588-3783 or stop by the presentation centre at 13931 Fraser Highway, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

The parkhomes at The Grove in Clayton Heights are spacious and elegant, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and wood laminate cabinetry. Residents will have access to The Grove Clubhouse, with its 4,300 square feet of amenity space.
Putting down roots in The Grove By Kerry Vital
Surrey’s Clayton Heights has become a vibrant community with plenty of amenities and beautiful homes. Now, it’s welcoming Townline’s The Grove to the neighbourhood, adding more than a touch of green to the area and giving families the chance to put down roots. “It’s nestled in a family friendly area,” says Courtney Osinchuk, marketing manager for Townline. “There’s a new elementary school right across the street. You can literally watch your kids walk to school.” Green space is an integral part of The Grove, with its centrally located grove, parks on two sides and greenbelts on the other two sides. There is plenty of curb appeal at The Grove, with its Craftsman contemporary architecture and professionally landscaped front and rear yards. Each home includes a single, tandem or double-car garage. Inside, the two-, three- and four-bedroom
parkhomes are available in a range of floorplans. Rich wood laminate flooring is featured throughout the main living areas, with nylon carpeting in the bedrooms, hallways and stairs. The kitchen includes stainless-steel appliances and square edge flat panel wood laminate cabinetry, complemented by eased square edge quartz countertops and a full height oversized ceramic tile backsplash. The bathrooms are elegant and relaxing, with their own square edge flat panel wood laminate cabinetry, eased square edge quartz countertops and a quartz backsplash. The ensuite takes the luxury further with a handlaid porcelain floor tile and shower surround. The main bathroom features a deep soaker tub with a chrome rain showerhead and large format ceramic tile surround. “There has been a great response so far,” says Osinchuk. “Every time we release a phase, it sells quickly.” Townline is currently selling the fifth of six phases. “We have a few homes that are available for immediate occupancy, with the others being ready in the next two to three months, depending on the phase,” Osinchuk says. “We’ve concentrated on maximizing functionality in the layouts of these homes. For example, we added in workstations (in the kitchens) in the homes that do not have dens, so kids can do their homework or you can pay your bills or work on your computer.
People like the added functionality of that.” Townline’s reputation for quality has been a big draw for buyers. “We are established in the community,” Osinchuk says, noting that The Grove is their sixth project in the area, joining Canterbury Ridge, Clayton Rise, Compass, Heritance and Clayton Village. Residents at The Grove will have access to The Grove Clubhouse, a 4,300-square-foot amenities space with an indoor floor hockey court, custom theatre screening room, fitness room, fireside social lounge with kitchenette
and a terrace with a barbecue and lounge seating. They will also have unlimited access to the neighbouring Clayton Rise Clubhouse with its additional 4,800 square feet of amenities and outdoor pool. The Grove is moments from Clayton Crossing and Willowbrook Mall, as well as Highway 1 for an easy commute, and plenty of leisure and recreation opportunities in the area, making it appealing to buyers of all ages. “There’s really a nice community here,” says Osinchuk. “There’s something for everyone.” Homes at The Grove start at $269,900. For more information, visit www. thegroveatclayton.ca, call 604-533-6968 or stop by the sales centre at 1-19433 68th Avenue, Surrey.

And the scary, scary winners are... Coquitlam and Port Moody public libraries partnered with The Tri-City News to present the Scary Story Contest, which asked Tri-City young people from 11 to 18 years of age to write a terrifying tale in time for Halloween. Dozens responded and local librarians read all the entries, narrowing them down to shortlists of half a dozen stories in each of the two age categories (11 to 14 and 15 to 18 years); the winners were chosen by a Tri-City News judge. The first-place stories are printed below and all the stories are available at tricitynews.com.
“Let Us OUt”
MikA Goli, 12, Port Moody
I
wake up sometime in the night, with the urge to get a drink of water. I check my watch, midnight, and climb out of bed. I stumble down the stairs and into the kitchen, finding the light switch and flicking it on. I grab a glass from the cabinet, but pause when I reach the sink. What is that, some sort of smudge? I rub at it with my shirt, frowning when it doesn’t come off. I lean closer, trying to identify it, then yelp, dropping my cup, barely registering the crashing sound it makes upon hitting the floor. There’s something there, moving, some sort of creature. No, not one, there are dozens of them, each larger than the last, all mouthing the same phrase. Let… Us… Out? I come to my senses with a jolt, and realize that I am in bed. Must have been a nightmare, I think, getting up and trudging out my door. A piece of glass is immediately shoved in my face. “Anything to say about this?” my sister says, waving it dangerously close. “Someone broke it last night, and it was probably you.” I peer at the object in her hand, then gasp upon recognizing it. I dropped it in what I thought was a dream. But if it’s real, then what else is? I shove her aside, and run to the kitchen, eyes darting frantically, trying to spot the creature which I hadn’t dreamt up. Nothing. Even if something had been there, it was gone now. I sigh, catching the attention of my sister, who followed me when I made a mad dash for the sink.
“What’s the matter with you? You’re, like, berserk today.” “Nothing,” I say, “I’m pretty sure it was just a dream.” Smiling, I plod over to the bathroom. I splash my face with water, then look up, barely managing to hold back a scream. They are back, legions of creatures whose cavernous mouths hang open, fangs on display, jaws literally reaching the floor, whose soulless eyes stare and stare. The mirror fogs over, and words appear, as if written by an invisible hand. Large, shaky letters spell, LET US OUT. Then a monster throws itself against the glass, and the mirror shudders, rocking from side to side on the wall. The rest of them follow suit, mouthing the same phrase. Let us out, let us out, let us out. I’ve had enough, and hit the mirror repeatedly, shrieking and gibbering until my hand is a gory mess and the mirror is reduced to bloodstained shards. I look at the pieces, and grin, because they are gone. My euphoria is short-lived, however, because I look into the glass door of the shower, and they are back. I groan and pull my other fist back to break this too, but then I notice something different. The monsters don’t seem to be in the mirror anymore, it looks almost like they are right behind me…

“IN tHe FReeZeR”
VANESSA MANSFiEld, 17, Port Moody
W
hen I awaken, I notice the ground moving underneath me. I’m lying on a conveyor belt, headed for a rectangular opening in the wall. I jump off. There are others on the belt, but they look unconscious. Panicking, I spot a door across the room and race towards it. I open it a crack and see two figures walking down a corridor. When they are gone, I rush inside and enter the nearest room. A blanket of darkness and frigid air washes over me. I pause. There is no sound save a low mechanical hum. I tentatively move forward, arms outstretched. One step. Two steps. Three steps. Four. Something large and icy grazes me. It moves forward and then swings back. I hop out of the way and run past it, but I crash into more of them. Yelping, I drop to my hands and knees and crawl rapidly back to the door. The floor is sticky. I’m shivering with cold and fear and my heart is slamming against my chest. I crawl faster. Suddenly, the door opens, almost knocking me in the face. Standing before me are the two figures I had seen in the corridor. They look like a man and a woman, except they are nine or ten feet tall, their limbs impossibly stretched, their features freakishly magnified. Then I notice the blood on my palms. “I thought I heard something,” says the man, his mouth contorting into an evil smile. “How did you escape?” demands the woman.
“W-what are you?” I say, ignoring her question. “What are you doing to us?” The man gestures behind me. Turning my head, I see what I had bumped into before – large slabs of meat hanging from hooks in the ceiling. Human meat. “Our planet’s sun is dying, and we need food,” explains the man. “Humans are quite the delicacy.” Vomit rises in my throat. “Enough!” barks the woman. “Take it to the cutting room to be processed.” “Or we could eat it now,” the man says, his fleshy tongue snaking through his long pointed teeth. “No! The Masters forbid it.” She touches his arm, but he shakes her off and approaches me. I jump to my feet and sprint away, glancing back to see him barrelling after me while she tries to restrain him. But he is too strong and fast. He pounces on me, pinning me to the floor. The woman punches him but he drags her down beside me. She goes berserk, screeching and gibbering as she claws at the hand around her neck. With a single flick of the wrist, the man throws her across the room before casting his luminous yellow eyes onto mine. “I’ve never eaten a live human before,” he says, grinning. His lips peel back, his mouth stretches open. I peer into the cavernous black hole and scream.

PORT MOODY GUNNERS
By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
RobeRt mcdonald photo
The Port Moody Panthers will look to put a few notches in the win column when the team gets ready to play three games in four nights this week. The Pacific Junior Hockey League squad had a couple of tough outings last weekend, falling to the Ridge Meadows Flames on the road, before losing to Richmond at home on Saturday night. Port Moody is falling farther and farther behind the standings and now sit with a 3-11-0-1 record so far this season. Ridge Meadows didn’t waste much time getting on the scoreboard last Friday night in front of their home town fans. Cameron Alder put the team up by one on the power play two minutes into the first period, before line mate Andrew Strelezki made it 2-0 also on the power play 14 minutes late. The Flames’ Dale Howell scored the lone goal in the middle frame, while Bradley Crompton and Jordan Rendle rounded out the 5-0 game in the third period.

FLY FISHING COMPETITION
Two medals for Whitley First time’s a charm for Coq. fisherman
Vance Whitley may be a newcomer to the national fly fishing competition circuit but he is already boasting two medals. The Coquitlam residents competed
in the 12th Canadian National Fly Fishing Championships in Montebello, Que., last week, winning silver in the individual and team contests. “We were considered the dark horse,” he said in a press release. “But with a solid game plan and a great deal of research we were able to win against
many of the local teams that included world champions and perennial favorites.” Whitely went up against five group of competitors, fishing on each of the five lake venues over three hour sessions. All of the fish were caught, measured for length and eventually released unharmed. Those with the most

and-forth action, that saw Coquitlam come close several times. Coquitlam stepped up the intensity after the first goal but the game was put out of reach for the home team when Redcaps forward Nima Ghaffari hammered home an insurance marker. Moody finished the game ahead 2-0.

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SHAKHTAR
This past weekend, Simone exhibited the true meaning of being a leader. Not only did he score the first goal, which put the Under 13 BCSPL Intake Shakhtar team ahead, he was a tower of strength defensively. Simone’s ability to communicate, his knowlegde of the game, and positioning made he and the team difficult to break down. He was a calming influence throughout the match. Furthermore, his composure and strength when in possession contributed to much of the teams attacking play. For his strong performance this past weekend, Simone Masi is the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week.

Port Moody Panthers forward Adam Rota puts the puck in the net during a Saturday night Pacific Junior Hockey League match against the Richmond Sockeyes at the Port Moody Arena.
PORT MOODY PANTHERS
Cats still searching for elusive 4th win continued from page A31
Panthers goalie Chrisitan Plain stopped 22 of the 27 shots he faced on the night, while on the other side of the rink Kurt Klimek was named second star of the game for posting his first shutout of the season. Port Moody looked better on Saturday at their home rink, but still couldn’t pull of a win against the high-flying Richmond Sockyes. After a scoreless first period, Richmond got on the board with a marker from Daniel Oakley, before Cats’ forward Daniel Szpakowski tied things up again. Matthew Bissett scored
with two minutes left in the second but Port Moody’s Adam Rota made it 2-2 with 36 seconds left in the middle frame. The floodgates opened in the third period, first with Port Moody’s Darien White briefly helping his team to a one goal lead, before Bissett potted his second of the game to keep things at 3-3. Daniel Obscena made it 4-3 for the Panthers, but Richmond was able to buckle down defensively after that. A hat trick goal from Bissett on the power play made it 4-4, before Brodie Crawford took the lead and Quinton Blois added an
insurance marker to put the game out of the reach. When the final buzzer sounded Port Moody was down 6-4. Szpakowski was named third star of the game for his two-point performance with the Panthers. Cats’ goalie Spencer Kozlowski stopped 34 of 40 shots in the game. The club will get ready for a bout against the Abbotsford Pilots on Friday in the Fraser Valley, before returning home on Saturday to take on the Mission City Outlaws.
