Centennial secondary school teacher Melanie Mattson with some of the members of the school’s Salmon Project Club at the Mossom Creek Hatchery, which is under construction after a devastating fire last December. The students recently took part in an egg take on the Alouette River to collect salmon eggs to stock Mossom Creek when the hatchery re-opens next spring and are helping to raise money to outfit the building.
MOSSOM CREEK HATCHERY
Salmon club going strong Students stick to salmon work as hatchery built DiAnE STrAnDbErg The Tri-CiTy News
You would think the Centennial secondary school Salmon Project Club
would have disbanded long ago. With no Mossom Creek hatchery to work in and only a concrete shell and a construction site where the original single-story education centre was before it burned down last year, you might think the high school kids would have moved on to other pursuits.
contact the tri-city news: newsroom@tricitynews.com
You would be wrong. In fact, the students continue to meet and just a few weeks ago were at the Alouette River collecting brood stock and learning to fertilize eggs for future Mossom salmon. The club is also fundraising for books and technology for the new building, selling “I Survived the Fire” t-shirts
and “Socks for Salmon.” For 38 years, the salmon project has operated at the school, with the original founders Rod MacVicar and Ruth Foster, and now Melanie Mattson, teaching hundreds of teenagers how to run a hatchery and care for B.C.’s iconic species. The students say working at Mossom has helped them
understand the importance of fish to the health of the environment, and although disappointed the hatchery has been out of commission since last December because of the fire, they are pleased to see a new hatchery rising on the original site.

AN ELECTION PRIMER
Get info, get educated and get out and vote You can vote just once, you know? RICHARD DAL MONTE THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tri-City voters go to the polls tomorrow and if you’re one of them and don’t believe you’re sufficiently educated to cast an informed ballot, there’s still time to cram. (And it’s an important test for which to study as those people elected Saturday will hold office for
four years, not three.) You can go to tricitynews. com and read a bounty of election-related stories for voters in the cities of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody as well as the villages of Anmore and Belcarra. At tricitynews.com/ municipalelection, you’ll find general election news; if you go there and click on Election Candidates, you’ll find videos of almost every candidate produced by The Tri-City News and Tri-Cities Community Television;
if you click on Candidate Q&As, you’ll find the profiles of every candidate that appeared in the VoteSmart voters’ guides, one produced for each of the three cities and distributed in The Tri-City News’ Nov. 7 edition. But before wading into the waves of positions and promises, there are a few things voters need to know, starting with...
hOw tO vOtE
Besides deciding on their mayors, Tri-City residents
will elect the following positions: • in Coquitlam, eight city councillors and four school trustees; • in PoCo and Port Moody, six councillors and two trustees each; • in Anmore and Belcarra, four councillors each, plus one shared school trustee.
hOw MaNY?
The numbers above do not mean that you must cast 13 votes in Coquitlam, nine in PoCo and seven
in PoMo — those are the maximum number of votes you can cast. You can, alternately, vote for as few candidates as you wish in any category and your ballet will be valid. For example, if you really like only four candidates for council, you may cast only four votes — or even one, if there’s just one candidate you believe will do a good job. This is also a strategic way to vote because, if you have a preferred candidate among many, every vote for
someone else works against your main choice.
hOw tO FiltER
The political strategy is simple and established through the ages: Candidates make promises they think you want to hear to try to get your vote. But not all promises are created equal. If, for example, a candidate for premier promises a piece of legislation if his or her party wins a majority, he or she has the power to make that happen. But if a candi-
date for city council — even mayor — promises to enact a specific bylaw or carry out a policy change, he or she does not have such power. A councillor or mayor can make a motion, push an agenda, speak passionately about a subject and try to rally the support of colleagues and the community but, in the end, each has just this power: one vote of seven (in PoCo or PoMo) or nine (in Coquitlam). Now, please educate yourself and remember to vote tomorrow.
THE CANDIDATES
Here’s your list. Check it twice before you vote At right are the names of the people who want to shape public policy in the Tri-Cities over the next four years and who want your vote tomorrow (Saturday) on general election day. Please note that a bullet (•) before a name denotes an incumbent. (Anmore and Belcarra candidate lists appear on page A17.) More coverage on page A4.

TRI-CITY ELECTIONS
Incumbent mayors back one another in elections JanIs Warren The Tri-CiTy News
The Three Amigos want to keep working together. This week, the mayors of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody told The Tri-City News they are publicly supporting one another for re-election “We really work well together and we’re exploring new ways in which the three cities can collaborate,” Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said, adding, “Parochial in-fighting doesn’t benefit anyone.” PoCo Mayor Greg Moore, who is the Metro Vancouver board chair, also said he’s backing Stewart and Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay. In fact, on his Facebook page this week, Moore wrote: “Port Moody has an interesting choice for Mayor. Mike Clay — Mayor of Port Moody wants to work cooperatively with others, while Mayoral Candidate Gaetan Royer wants to fight with others.” Asked how he would work with Royer — a for-

mer Metro Vancouver parks planning manager and PoMo city manager — if he is elected Port Moody’s mayor, Moore responded that he has “an excellent working relationship with all the mayors around the region, even if we disagree on some policy issues.” Still, he said he prefers Clay’s style. “We are a region of 22 local governments that need to work together,” Moore said. “Infighting does not serve this region well nor does it service the community for which the mayor who is not cooperating.” Last week, after a PoMo
all-candidates meeting, Moore responded on Facebook to Royer’s criticism of the 2014 Mayors’ Transportation Plan, writing: “Shocked to hear PoMo Mayoral Candidate Gaetan Royer doesn’t support TransLink Mayor Council 30 Yr Vision/10 Yr Plan - said ‘things’ are missing, but gave no real details. We had 21 of the 22 Mayors in the region support the plan, then business, enviro, education, tourism groups and other levels of government supported and praised the work of the Mayors, including Mike Clay — Mayor of Port Moody.” For his part, Clay has also endorsed Moore and
Stewart. “They have made it much better for all of us working together and, when necessary, speaking with our collective voice,” he said. “Full support for both of them.” The three mayors were nicknamed the Three Amigos earlier this year when they toured western Canada by RV on their way to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ convention in Niagara Falls. The trip was dubbed Town Haul as they visited two dozen communities on the way, gathering information on best practices from elected officials.

The Board has refused to cut management staff. The question which begs an answer is with all the reductions to staff, why the need to maintain current levels of management staff? • reductions of supplies to schools • elimination of all bussing affecting Anmore and Burke Mountain • elimination of Middle School Cafeterias which provided hot lunches to middle school students • reduction of Youth Workers and Career Resource Workers affecting vulnerable students • reductions of librarians which affects students use of the Library • elimination of Teacher Assistants that assisted Teachers and worked in the general office • reduction to clericals in the senior secondary schools • reduction of retired members’ benefits and an increase to their medical premiums - Most retired members are on a fixed income and require adequate medical coverage For the next four years the new Board will have to pay $2.5Million each year to pay back the deficit.
This election has so many new good candidates that live in the Tri-City to choose from; maybe you should consider; “it’s time for a change!”

PoCo asking for help B3 Kings with bypass traffic 4 intersections are a problem since changes Janis Warren Black Press
Increased traffic on the Mary Hill Bypass as a result of Highway 1 improvements has prompted the city of Port Coquitlam to call for a smoother flow on the provincial highway. As part of the transportation minister’s public consultation, dubbed “B.C. On the Move,” the municipality has asked for grade separations — essentially, bridges over the bypass — at the four lighted intersections: Shaughnessy Street, Pitt River Road, Broadway Street and Kingsway Avenue. Yesterday (Thursday), Mayor Greg Moore said the extra volume that came with the Highway 1 upgrade has brought additional congestion, especially at Shaughnessy, where there are often
recYclING DePOT OPeNs IN POcO
Port Coquitlam has its first recycling depot. On Monday, Biggar Bottle Depot (2577 Kingsway Ave.) started collecting packaging and printed paper recyclables for Multi-Material BC. Earlier this year, MMBC took over recycling around the province but the city of Port Coquitlam picks up from single-family homes on its behalf. Items not allowed as part of the city curbside service — such as glass, plastic bags and foam — can now be deposited at no cost at Biggar. Previously, PoCo residents had to drop off their packaging at Return-It depots in Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows or Surrey.

Positive campaign – “All Policy, Nothing Personal” Richard has run a positive campaign again, and has not once criticized his opponent. Elections should be about policy. Richard has had to correct many erroneous policy statements, using facts and data verified by publicly-available city reports and documents (sources/links/confirmation available; just email him). Richard has been endorsed by individuals and organizations, business groups and unions, elected officials from across the region and at other levels of government. He’s a strong leader, with excellent management and great vision. Richard never accepts funding from the unions with whom we negotiate. Let’s re-elect Mayor Richard Stewart, an independent mayor, and let’s elect a strong, independent Council.
“I’ve lived all my life in Coquitlam. We have great community groups, faith communities, volunteers, and citizens who deserve our support.
I want to continue to build the amenities – and the fiscal legacy – so Coquitlam will remain a great and affordable place for our kids to raise a family. I ask for your support on Saturday, Election Day. Let’s keep Coquitlam moving forward!”
“Mayor Stewart is a real leader, a respectful and thoughtful leader who knows what it is to serve community. He has my full support.” - Rev. John Davies, Freedom of the City recipient “Coquitlam is lucky to have Richard as Mayor. The Tri-Cities mayors are collaborating and working together like never before, for the good of all our residents.” – Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore “Richard is a great leader – positive and consensus-based – and it’s great to work with him. Together, the three communities are benefitting.” – Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay “Mayor Stewart knows how to guide the regional conversation, respectfully but with conviction, producing real results for Coquitlam across Metro Vancouver. He used those skills on such vitally-important issues as breaking the stalemate on the long-awaited Evergreen Line. A real leader.” – Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts “Richard does a great job with so many groups, and has always given our veterans and our Legion excellent support. Coquitlam has good reason to be proud of the leadership it gets from Mayor Stewart.” – Yetty and (WWII veteran) Elsley Foulds
There is more to be done – • Arts and Culture Master Plan (now underway) • Parks and Rec Master Plan (now underway) • Burquitlam Neighbourhood Plan (now underway) • New Community Centre for a revitalized Burquitlam • New Arts and Culture services and amenities • New Rinks, Covered Tennis, Dry Floor, Aquatics, etc. • New schools, parks, trails • New services for seniors, families, youth

Bikes & feet but no cars (yet) on Bailey bridge Second span to be installed, then open in Dec. Grant GranGer Black PreSS
A Bailey bridge once again spans the Brunette River. But don’t expect to drive across it until next month. The bridge deck is getting finishing touches this week, said city of New Westminster engineering technologist Keith Whiteley. The new bridge replaces the one-lane span between Braid Avenue and Coquitlam’s United Boulevard that was closed in March due to structural issues. It will get a soft opening of sorts this weekend. Whiteley said pedestrians and cyclists will be able to use it but it will remain closed to vehicles until the second bridge is installed next to it to make it a twolane crossing. “There’s too much equipment out there to allow any vehicles around there,” he said. He estimated it will take five working days for crews
BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO
Keith Whiteley, engineering technologist with the city of New West, said the Bailey bridge between his city and Coquitlam will open to walkers and cyclists this weekend. to complete the pile driving for the second bridge, and then another 15 to 20 days to install it. That puts any opening to vehicular traffic well into December. The second structure was something the city of Coquitlam wanted, stating a two-lane bridge would help move goods and provide access for emergency vehicles. New Westminster argued adding the second lane will only worsen congestion that plagues the Braid and Brunette Street intersection. And in July, the cities’
dispute went to binding arbitration, with the ruling going against New Westminster. The cities then came to an agreement in August to share the estimated $1.2-million cost of the twin crossing, which was supposed to open by midSeptember. But Fisheries and Oceans Canada said a storm sewer had to be rebuilt from Canfor Street to the river with an outflow into the river. There was also a delay because the cities opted to
buy a new bridge instead of using one the province offered to loan them, Whiteley said, noting that offer had strings attached: They would have to buy it if they were still using it three years from now (and it also needed expensive alterations to suit the Brunette crossing). He said the second span cost about $330,000. The estimated cost of the first span, which New Westminster purchased from Ontario before the Justin Kim Justin Kim Campaign Campaign Address Address ruling, was $190,000.

Craig HODGE
About Craig Hodge. • Elected to council in 2011 • Chair, Riverview Lands Advisory Committee • Chair, Coquitlam’s Sports Council • Chair, Maillardville Commercial and Cultural Revitalization Committee • Director, Metro Vancouver Parks & Environment Committee • Vice Chair, City/School District Liaison Committee • Scout leader • Coach, youth soccer and ball hockey • Past President, Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce • Past President, Coquitlam Heritage Society
“I was fortunate as a child to grow up in Coquitlam, buy a house here, work in my community, enjoy the recreational opportunities here and I want our children and future generations to be able to do the same.”
Craig with his wife Darla and their three boys at Lafarge lake.
Growth
Transportation
Coquitlam’s population is expected to increase by 50% in the next decade and we must manage this growth by adhering to our neighbourhood plans, protecting the environment and ensuring that today’s residents don’t see a drop in current services.
I will advocate for increased police presence at SkyTrain stations, improved bus service and the creation of park-and-ride lots in Burquitlam and Town Centre so all Coquitlam residents can use the new service without creating parking shortages on surrounding commercial and residential streets.
Preserving Our Neighbourhoods
Riverview
I’m committed to keeping commuter traffic off residential streets, making sure new homes fit in with the character of the neighbourhood, preserving heritage areas. We must work with developers to provide sufficient parking, protect open spaces and create community amenities.
As chairperson of Coquitlam’s Riverview Lands Advisory Committee I have lobbied for the creation of a world-class mental health and wellness facility, and for the preservation of these beautiful and historic grounds.
Taxes
We must support our growing population by building new parks, improving outdoor recreation amenities, and finding partners to help expand our cultural and recreational facilities. As our population ages we must improve our seniors’ centers and provide increased programming.
Expenses need to be controlled so that taxes don’t increase at a rate higher than our ability to pay. We must challenge expenditures, look for efficiencies and ensure our residents receive the highest value for each tax dollar.

OUR OPINION
Negativity? Not in Tri-City, please
c
ivic election races are coming to a close throughout the lower mainland as voters head to the polls tomorrow (saturday). here in the tri-cities, the debates have been respectful and the advertising, if not always accurate or specific, was at least mostly positive. in surrey and Vancouver, politicians are engaging in bigbucks fear mongering, negative advertising and mudslinging, which, unfortunately, tends to work, albeit at the risk of alienating some voters. Of course, in those cities, there is more to lose, with major money involved and a larger population. contrast those cities with the tri-cities, where the politics is still genteel — at least outside of some behind-thescenes rumour-mongering, heated Facebook posts and some sign issues, and politicians of all stripes should still be able to work together once voting is done. We prefer the (so far) kinder, gentler politics of the tricities, and hope tomorrow’s turnout will be higher than usual to prove that negative advertising isn’t necessary for voter engagement.

omorrow, british columbians will head to the polls to choose more than 2,000 officials for city councils, school boards, regional districts, parks boards and the islands trust. considering that municipal councils in b.c. spend more than $8 billion a year of our tax money, it’s a bit of a paradox that most voters — if these elections are anything like last time in 2011 — will find something else to do tomorrow. in ’11, some communities saw turnouts of less than 30%. in Vancouver, 34.6% of voters cast a ballot. so maybe it’s time to spark some inter-provincial rivalry for bragging rights. in Winnipeg, more than 50% of the city’s 468,713 eligible voters cast a ballot last month. in toronto, turnout exceeded 60%. the last time that level was reached in a b.c. election was in 1991. One thing is different. Vancouver’s municipal parties have released their donor lists before voters head to the polls, not three months after. kudos. last week, Vision Vancouver reported $2.3 million in donations. corporate donations accounted for 60.8% of the haul and unions 14%. the nPa reported donations of $2.1 million and the second largest donation in Vancouver’s history at
TC
$360,000 from Peter armstrong’s Great canadian railtour company. all in, armstrong has donated $470,000 to the nPa through additional personal and corporate cheques. that’s enough to have covered calgary mayor naheed nenshi’s 2013 re-election budget — with $79,000 to spare — and cowtown has about a quarter of a million more voters than Vancouver. armstrong could have covered the spending limit of two candidates running for mayor of Winnipeg and still have $67,000 left over (Winnipeg has roughly 20,000 more voters than Vancouver). Or he could have covered the $386,556 spending limit for a candidate running to be mayor of mississauga, a ceiling described by one writer at the Mississauga News as “astronomical.” One small wrinkle: in calgary, armstrong’s generosity would be limited to $5,000; in Winnipeg, $1,500, and it would have to be a personal cheque; and in mississauga, he would be cut off at $750. meanwhile, over at the b.c. legislature, the provincial government thought the midst of the 2014 civic election was a dandy time to hold public hearings on new campaign finance rules for 2018. Go figure. most communities in b.c. don’t have municipal parties, which may be a good thing, but they’re not short of slates.
One group or another may have asked you to vote for one slate or another. in theory, sounds great: one council, all happy campers, all headed in the same direction. but would you really want one party to hold all the seats in the b.c. legislature? it’s a tougher hill to climb and only two parties have ever done it in canada: P.e.i.’s Walter lea achieved the feat in 1935 and new brunswick’s Frank mckenna in 1987. neither did it twice. so why the push for it at the local level? look at all the candidates, check their websites, visit their Facebook pages, Google them to find out more about their positions on issues before they became a candidate and how they interact with people online. might give you a clue about how they’ll interact with constituents if elected. don’t overlook someone who may bring something to the table even if you don’t share all their policy views. think of it as “the best and brightest” slate. and if you believe it’s time for some house-cleaning at city hall, don’t overlook the power of incumbency. thirtyeight incumbents sought re-election as city councillors in toronto last month and 37 were re-elected. but choose wisely because this time you’re stuck with them for four years.

MUNDY PARK
Speak up on the More women needed future of Mundy The Editor, My inspiration to preserve Mundy Park intact as heritage for future generations came from Surrey’s Green Timbers Urban Forest Park, whose safe, user-friendly, sound policies and practices were borrowed by Coquitlam council. It is now logical that Mundy forest’s safe trail policies be consistent with Green Timbers’, including a protective advisory committee made up of naturalists and heritage society advocates. Green Timbers supports a wonderful nature centre, complete with community program facilities, accessible public washrooms and great children’s nature programs to foster a legacy of park stewardship. These initiatives have

proved highly successful in protecting urban forests’ high wildlife values and natural features remaining intact and undisturbed. All these are allowable uses in Mundy’s forest, too, though Coquitlam’s Mundy Park Forest Management Plan makes no mention of them. Why not? People need these. It’s vital our children inherit opportunity to be healthy and thrive in Mundy’s trails, as we have enjoyed access to date. If you haven’t already done so, please remem-
ber to peruse the Mundy Park Forest Management Plan on the city website and complete the questionnaire prior to Nov. 16 — that’s Sunday. Additional comments and your Mundy Forest experiences and wish lists for items such as accessible washroom amenities at a nature centre, with community facilities, to be located either at Mundy Forest’s Hillcrest or Chilko entrances, can be emailed to the mayor and councillors, whose addresses can also be found on the city website. Council needs your encouragement to support good choices. Judy Donaghey, Port Coquitlam; Mundy Mudthudders; Founder, Friends of Mundy Park Heritage Society
The Editor, While the municipal elections have been the hot topic in the local media of late, many more national stories are emerging about gender inequality and violence against women. The relation between the two issues is closer than we think, and I hope voters will think about gender equality as you head to the polls. Women represent 16% of mayors and 26% of municipal councillors in Canada,
for an average of 24%. In absolute terms, of 24,113 elected officials, 5,826 are women, according to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in 2013. Based on current statistics from the FCM, Canada would need 1,408 more women in elected office today to reach the 30% target — that means increasing the number of women in municipal government by roughly 100 every year for the next 14 years.
There are many reasons men are more likely to enter politics than women — my belief, supported by actual studies, is that women often focus on different issues than men, such as gender equality, daycare and children’s welfare — but with a growing number of initiatives, activities and programs, the number of female candidates is growing as well. Port Coquitlam residents spent the last three years
with an all-male council. I am certainly not a radical feminist but I am not comfortable with this gender imbalance of elected officials. While I am certainly not suggesting anyone vote simply based on gender, I feel it is important to have more women in politics. How can democracy deliver for all of its citizens if half of the population remains under-represented? Jane Thomsing, Port Coquitlam
METRO TRANSPORTATION
Province must look south The Editor, Re. “Falcon concerned about referendum delay for transit� (The Tri-City News, Nov. 7). Isn’t it amazing that Kevin Falcon, like Saul on the road to Damascus, has finally seen the light? Transit is much too important to be subjected to a referendum — he really means it, bless his gentle soul. One assumes it is be-
cause he now uses transit frequently to go to work. Talking about transit referendums, does anybody in the BC Liberal government and at TransLink pay attention to the numerous referendums or propositions about transit that Seattle residents have had the pleasure to vote on? They just agreed on a city car-tab fee and an extra 0.1% on sales tax to boost Metro bus service.
Is anybody listening in Victoria? By the way, the Sound Transit board is made of elected members of the region’s counties and municipalities, plus the state secretary of transportation. This is a common set-up, with local tweaking, in many cities, be they in North America, Europe, etc. As well, Sound Transit’s 15-member volunteer
Citizen Oversight Panel oversees and monitors the implementation of its voterapproved regional transit plan and provides ongoing review. Oversight also includes the U.S. Department of Transportation, which monitors the progress of Sound Transit projects that receive federal grant funding. J-L Brussac, Coquitlam

Port Coquitlam is home to me since elementary school and I have travelled while learning life’s lessons. I have been indebted to major financial institutions and survived. Life has expense and I’ve paid my share. Through all I’ve become someone that cares about my compatriots. I can wish no harm to any creature. When I see a need I try to fill. I established a fire protection company, CANADA FIRE SAFETY CORPORATION, to provide a valuable service that protects lives and subsequently CANADA ELECTRIC SERVICES INC.. These experiences help me to recognize what is currently happening in the ongoing expansion of turning what is a natural life source, water, from being free to use to being a commodity with expense involved in its’ every use. Why, because sources outside our community put a high value on the water and corporate greed is willing and happy to supply the outside source and justify charging residential consumers based on market demand. I see the “Drinking water management plan June 2011” as movement to turn the public water supply into a commodity in every aspect of its use including residential. As, this plan clearly states that objective on page 13. A council that can be entrusted to put residents first is critical at this election. The council at present has already shown themselves to be corporate friends and provide no benefit to residents, let’s not lose the benefit of H2O. A city Council can stop the residential water meters from becoming reality or help Metro Vancouver achieve that revenue source. I bring this plan to everyone’s notice and state that as Mayor I will not allow the residential water meters in Port Coquitlam and will work to have the plan revised to not have residential water metering within the plan!

“It’s great to see the community coming together,” said Giordano Buo, a Grade 12 Centennial student who admitted to being “traumatized” when the hatchery burned down last year. When the new building opens with a firstfloor hatchery and a multi-purpose room on the second floor, it will contain many important amenities first identified by students who took part in the visioning process. For one thing, it will have an indoor washroom, instead of the outhouse they are used to. But the students are also looking forward to a kitchen area, where they can make hot chocolate and will have an internet connection for doing research and an observation area for studying fish. Mattson is optimistic the hatchery will re-open in the spring so students can go back to caring for the salmon. By then, they’ll be “egg picking,” removing dead salmon eggs so fungus doesn’t spread. It’s tedious work, done with tweezers, but she said it’s an important job to keep the hatchery salmon healthy. On their visit to the Alouette River in October, the students helped catch male and female salmon and collect eggs and “milt” for fertilization. It was hard work, the students said, but worth it to sustain the salmon population. They had to wear rain gear and stand in the water to catch the salmon, which had to be stunned with a club, and then opened to collect the eggs and milt. “It’s not fun, but it something you have to do,” Matthew Davison said. Surprisingly the entire interview with the students was conducted at Mossom Creek without a smartphone in sight. The students said they were just being polite but they also admitted they enjoy being away from civilization for a while and the break from the daily stress of life falls away when they drive up the narrow gravel road to the hatchery, which now is little more than a clearing in the woods. “We don’t have a salmon app yet,” one student said. “It’s like a way of escaping from the real world,” Cedric Deduque noted. The students agree that raising salmon to augment the natural stock is an important job that they are proud to do, and they hope the community continues to support them in their aims.

TRANS MOUNTAIN
Pipeline firm braces for conflict on Burnaby Mt. Kinder Morgan president plays down lawsuit Jeff Nagel BlacK Press
Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson appealed for calm Wednesday ahead of a B.C. Supreme Court decision on the company’s requested injunction to clear protesters who are blocking survey crews on Burnaby Mountain. The company wants to drill test holes to determine if it can viably tunnel through the mountain rather than run its proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project through an existing Burnaby neighbourhood. “I’m just hoping we can see our way through this reasonably, calmly and fairly,” he told reporters, acknowledging the dispute threatens to become a major protest that requires police action. Anderson said the survey work has been “stopped by individuals set on civil disobedience and intimidation” and denied accusations the company

Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson. has tried to intimidate protesters with a lawsuit seeking millions of dollars in damages. He called the civil suit a legally necessary step to demonstrate financial implications in order to obtain the injunction. “I have no intention of pursuing any damages if we can undertake the work that we know we have the legal clearance to complete,” Anderson said. He said several trees have been removed by crews but said they were a safety hazard to the planned work and half were dead or dying. A decision on the injunction is expected by Monday. Anderson said photos
of snarling protesters that were submitted to court — and that have now spawned a social media protest with opponents making similar faces — were to record the intimidation tactics being used. Opponents hope direct action in Burnaby can block the $5.4-billion project, which would triple Trans Mountain’s flow of oil through B.C. and greatly increase the number of oil tankers it loads. Anderson said there’s no change in the planned opening date of late 2018. Nor, he said, has the company considered switching to a new terminal in Delta or Washington State, an option Burnaby
politicians have suggested. The project faces other legal and political challenges, including agreement of the B.C. government on acceptable safety standards and benefits for First Nations and the province. Anderson said 16 First Nations have so far signed support agreements. Kinder Morgan has not yet responded in detail to a new SFU study that estimates of project benefits are much lower than the company claims and that the worst case spill scenario would consume billions of dollars, not $100 to $300 million. “Clearly the SFU study has used a different set of assumptions than what our work has,” Anderson said, adding he expects the issue to be examined more fully in upcoming National Energy Board hearings. “We think what we have done is fair and reasonable and in many respects conservative.” He said the company has steadily improved the oil pipeline project in part by listening carefully to its detractors.

CITY OF POCO
Members of Port Coquitlam city council joined the PoCo Community Foundation board for Monday’s gift of $200,000 by the Port Coquitlam Theatre Society, a charity that used to run the Terry Fox Theatre until last year — and received city arts and cultural grants for its operation. The city also announced at the donation event that it would be kicking in $100,000 for the foundation’s community fund over the 2014-’15 granting cycle.
Mossom Creek Hatchery volunteers received a $12,000 grant from Vancity last Friday to buy salmon rearing equipment for the hatchery that’s now under construction in Port Moody. The money will be used for the heath tray incubation system, Capilano troughs, rearing tubs and related plumbing. Pictured from left are: Vancity vice president, officer of community investments Louise Pochailo, Mossom volunteers Tracy Green, Reiner Specht and Ruth Foster, and branch manager Cristina Pereira.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore gave a certificate of appreciation this week to Cdt. Jackson Reid, the 13-year-old Citadel middle student who stood at attention at the PoCo cenotaph after Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was gunned down last month at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Reid was at the post every day until Tuesday, Remembrance Day, in honour of Cirillo. Moore said Reid’s gesture was “heartwarming” and had a ripple effect across the country as other cadets followed suit. Also at the PoCo city council meeting was Afghan veteran Trevor Street, a PoCo resident.

She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.

HERITAGE IN THE TRI-CITIES
Coquitlam lives lost to war – and some lives lived YOUR HISTORY
T
his Remembrance Day, as every other before it, we took time to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by those who came before us. We know that great wars affected people and changed their lives forever, including the daily lives of Coquitlam’s citizens. There are tales of love, loss of friendship and a protected industry. There were 6,225 British Columbians who died in the First World War but the lucky ones — those who returned to their families — had interesting stories to tell. One such story is told by Reta Stickney Frost in the book Coquitlam: 100 Years. Reta Stickney, as she was known at the time, was in high school when the war began. Her sister, Laura, was corresponding with and sending food parcels to a Canadian prisoner-of-war named Fred Frost. The correspondence continued for quite some time. Finally, in 1918, the end

As life settled down, Fred came to B.C. to meet Laura, who had been corresponding with him for so long. But by the time Fred came to meet her, she was already engaged and so it was Reta
COQ. LIBRARY
You can hear Indian tunes tomorrow at Coq. library Classical concert at Poirier
Not all classical music is of the Mozart and Beethoven variety. Coquitlam Public Library is hosting an Indian classical vocal concert tomorrow (Saturday) with Pandit Jasraj School of Music Foundation. The performance runs from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Nancy Bennett Room of the library’s Poirier branch, located at 575 Poirier St. The concert features students of Guru Sangeet Martand Padma Vibhushan Pandit Jasraj ji as well as
principal Asha Lohia, accompanied by local tabla player and teacher Monish Chakraborti. The Pandit Jasraj School of Music Foundation fosters the preservation, growth, and teaching of Indian classical music in the traditional style of Mewati Gharana. Space is limited for tomorrow’s free program; to register, leave a message on the registration line, 604-937-4155. For more information, phone Teresa Rehman, CPL’s community services librarian — and a student at the school who will sing at the concert — at 604937-4157.
who kept Fred company. He found work at the
Vancouver Golf Club and soon after bought property
in the area. By 1921, the two were married and Reta Stickney became Mrs. Fred Frost. Not all stories from those living in Coquitlam during war times ended so happily. Gunvor Locken Wenman was a student at Millside school in the late 1930s. Being an international school, there were students from many different cultural backgrounds. She had many Japanese-Canadian friends but sadly lost touch with them after the 1941 Pearl Harbour attack and xenophobia took over in the form of internment camps. All of Gunvors’ friends and their families were sent to these camps. This was a dark chapter of Canada’s history that affected the lives of the people of Japanese descent living here and those who
relied on their friendship, business and labour. Since Fraser Mills was a protected industry in B.C., very few men who worked were called to service during the Second World War. This does not mean, however, that men did not volunteer or were pressured to do so. Some of those who did not leave the home front decided to help in other ways so that they could contribute to the war effort. According to Margaret Bain Bergland, many people joined the Volunteer Workers for Civil Defence Against the German Reich. As a part of this organization, men and women were trained in first-aid and in how to properly use a gas mask. It was following the Second World War that Coquitlam’s population grew with baby boomers
and new immigrants, including Byron Alexander and his family. In 1942, he joined the army and met Doreen Thorpe, who would soon become his wife. He brought his young bride home after the war and they settled in Burquitlam. She found the area friendly and they raised their six children on the land given to them by Byron’s father as a wedding gift. We remember and are thankful for the fallen from wars past, let us also remember that despite war not being fought on Canadian soil, wars directly impacted Canadian lives and shaped Canada as a country forever.

SANTA – BY BOAT
Mark your calendars: Santa will be dropping by Belcarra Regional Park on Saturday, Dec. 13 — but he won’t come by reindeer and sleigh. Jolly old St. Nick will arrive on a boat as part of the annual Santa’s Christmas Ships cruise. The vessels will assemble at Reed Point Marina at 7 p.m. and then proceed to Belcarra, dockside, where at approximately 7:30 p.m., Santa will disembark and greet the children and sign the “Great Book.” There will also be fireworks, and, after the display is over, the vessels will continue to toward Deep Cove. In all, the flotilla of Christmas Ships will be out for six dates in the lead-up to the holiday season, including touring to Vancouver and North Vancouver.

Ahhh: Motoring Maui
Buying a used vehicle?
by Alexandra Straub
A “family” reunion just happened to be taking place on one of Hawaii’s eight islands, which gave me a perfect excuse to beat the fall blahs and grey skies. I use family in bunny ears since my BFF since childhood, Nikki, and I have been sister-like since grade three. Her family is my family. And, as families do, they try to figure out logistics and transportation; who will be going in whose car when it came to outings. A total of nine of us were vacationing together. Luckily, my other sister, Minti lives on the island and had her Honda Odyssey to shuttle some adults, and her three daughters. Good thing. The Escape is roomy, though not that roomy. But when a chronic noise came from the brakes, the minivan was out of commission.
How about tickets for distracted pedestrians? It’s amazing how many texting walkers just walk out onto crosswalks without looking. What drives-u-crazy? Email keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Lahaina, Maui Locals call it the “Maui Merge.” It’s enough to take a mellow tourist and perhaps get them as heated as their fresh sunburn. It’s a merge that doesn’t take place within the lines of an ending lane, as one would imagine. Somehow, that merge extends onto the shoulder and beyond. Watch out for the cyclist and the stray dog! As I observe this type of manouevre in action from a Ford Escape rental vehicle, I can’t help but chuckle to myself. I guess some things stay the same no matter what kind of paradise you’re driving in. But it’s not all bad, right? If you’re not stuck in traffic on Maui’s west island’s main highway, you’re in luck. You’ll have a tropical breeze flowing through the cabin, unless you’re in need of air conditioning to counteract the humidity. Hawaii Route 30, also known as the Honoapi’ilani Highway, is a 56-kilometre stretch of road that you end up on when traveling to Lahaina or close to it.

Luckily for only a few hours, chaos could have ensued. Being the car person, I accompanied her to a local shop. Not only did her car get fixed very quickly, it gave insight into the local racing scene. Yes, there’s one on Maui and it’s probably not what you would have expected. Owner of Kaanapali Car Care, Bill Throckmorton, had his 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 on the hoist. With a small block Chevy inside that produces upwards of 400 horsepower, this vehicle meant business. Dirty business. From March to October, those looking for some
wholesome family fun (and maybe some tailgating, whatever you interpret that to be) are invited to the dirt track to watch him, along with fellow sprint car racers and demolition derby participants. It takes place at the appropriately named Paradise Speedway Maui (paradisespeedwaymaui.com) Regardless, I thanked him for his invite to the end-of-season event but our schedule was packed to the brim. Lahaina was a quick commute from the Honua Kai resort where we gathered.

Here’s what you do: look at the car. If it looks good, just buy it. Those reports give you lots of details you don’t need. Watching out for you, Walt

much more than a top-line Civic. Not only do you get more content and performance, Acura models also come with a longer warranty than Honda. Full coverage is for 4 years or 80,000 km, compared to 3 years/60,000 km from Honda. You won’t find ratings for an Acura CSX in Consumer Reports or the results of any US crash testing. However, it’s safe to assume that it would achieve similar results to the Honda Civic, which does spectacularly well in owner survey ratings and also receives top ratings occupant protection in a collision. Used prices may be on the high side but if you like the Honda Civic yet desire a little extra pampering and performance, drive a used Acura CSX. Safety Recalls: 2006/2007: An ABS wheel speed sensor O-ring seal may allow water to enter the rear wheel bearing and eventually cause damage, especially in areas where use of road salt is prevalent. Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace ABS sensor O-ring seals and rear wheel bearings. 2009: A fault in the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system could result in an immediate loss of power steering assist without warning to the driver. The electric power steering module will be replaced under a special extended warranty (coverage of 10 years/240,000 km) for vehicles which experience this condition. 2011: There’s increased risk of fuel leakage in a roll-over crash due to a potentially faulty Roll-Over Valve (ROV) within the fuel pump module. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel pump module assembly. 2 bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca REV

The Acura CSX was made in Canada and only sold in Canada. Essentially it’s a sportier and more luxurious Honda Civic as it shares most major parts, other than engines. So, an owner not only gets the renowned reliability, fuel efficiency and functionality of a Civic, but also a higher level of performance and luxury ... very nice! First released for the 2006 model year, CSX came with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that can also be found in an Acura RSX, with slightly different tuning. A suspension upgrade also gives CSX better handling than a Civic and it originally came in Touring and Premium (with leather upholstery, Xenon headlights and a power sunroof) trim levels. A new more performance oriented version called the Type-S replaced Premium for the 2007 model year. The standard 2.0-litre engine can produce 155 horsepower, but the 2.0-litre in a Type-S version can churn-out 197 horsepower. The manual transmission in a base CSX is a five-speed, while the Type-S has a six-speed. A five-speed automatic transmission was a popular option, An automatic model also comes with steering wheel mounted paddle-shift (manual) controls. Using the newly revised (and more realistic) fuel economy rating method, a CSX (auto) should get 10.9/7.8 L/100 km (city/ highway) and 10.0/7.6 L/100 km (city/highway) with the manual transmission. Other than leather upholstery, which became standard on every CSX, there were no significant changes for 2008 model year. In 2009, the CSX got a minor facelift up front and 17-inch wheels, fog lights and USB port for audio players all became standard equipment. The CSX Type-S became the CSX i-Tech (and came with xenon headlights, a navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity) for the 2011 model year, its final year of production. A used CSX doesn’t cost too

Hard driven to deflate a puncture-resistant tire The rush of air escaping a tire is not a sound one hopes to hear deep in the outback. According to a tire industry study, 84 percent of tire failures incurred off-road are due to sidewall puncture, often rendering tires irreparable. BF Goodrich has done something about this deflating fact. High in Canada’s rugged Rocky Mountains is where they chose to launch their revised KO line of all-terrain tires. Termed “KO2,” the new boots bring forth many improvements to a tire already considered by many in the off-roading community to be the benchmark. That reputation was earned through a longstanding commitment to off-road racing and motorsports – winning the Baja 1000 more than all other tire manufacturers combined – and its advances in tire technology since introducing the first all-terrain tire back in 1976. The tire manufacturer claims that the KO2 sidewall is 20 percent stronger than the original KO tire, and incorporates an advanced deflection system designed to prevent protruding objects, such as pointy branches, from snagging and splitting the sidewall. A handful of crusty auto journalists, more used to testing cars rather than tires, ventured to Lake Lou-
“Despite the pointy knot digging into the sidewall with extreme pressure, the tire never succumbed to the silent killer in the bush.” ise in the Rockies to put the tires through a reality test. BF Goodrich supplied a series of off-road exercises in which we pushed the limits of the KO2s, all of which were 20-inch 55-series tires shod upon new Chevrolet Silverado 4X4 pickups. It’s important to note that these weren’t extra-large off-road tires, they were typical replacements. The highway portion of our drive delivered a pleasant surprise; the KO2s produced much less road noise than expected given their heavy lug-based tread pattern. While likely not as quiet as the original-equipment tires on Chevy’s latest Silverado, their whine was modest and unobtrusive. Forty minutes after departing the majesty of Lake Louise and its aqua-blue waters, we exited Banff National Park and headed for private testing lands. Moving from tarmac, we encountered just about every conceivable surface one might face during an off-road excursion. Despite my best effort to burrow the KO2s deep into a mud pit, the putty-like
Straub in Maui continued from page A26
It was a breath of fresh air. Not only because we got off the resort, but it borders along a picturesque coastline. It’s the kind of coastline that postcards are made of: full of palm trees shimmying to the music of the wind. There you encounter scooters buzzing by, happy couples hand-in-hand and many modes of transportation intermingling. Front Street in Lahaina has a little bit of magic to it, too. In 2011, it was named by the American Planning Association as one of the “Great Streets.” Not every street can be great. They have guidelines. The visit was all too short
and then traffic met us on the other end. What happens when you want to escape the drawbacks of paradise driving and you’re stuck in the back seat? Perhaps this is the answer. Envision yourself on a beach, holding a (virgin) piña colada. You’re lying on your towel with your eyes closed, let the crashing waves penetrate your ears. Then picture yourself driving your fastest lap at the Nürburgring. Now that’s paradise. Until the driver behind you honks and you get to crawl forward a metre or so. “You’ll be at the beach soon,” you repeat to yourself. alexandra.straub @drivewaybc.ca
Sidewalls are vulnerable, and the weakest part of a typical tire. A truck was parked atop a pointy knot. Despite the pointy knot digging into the sidewall with extreme pressure, the tire never succumbed to the silent killer in the bush. Our day in the Rockies saw 20 Silverados – in other words 80 KO2s – performing exercise after exercise with zero failures. No flats and no stuck trucks. rrothwell@telus.net
ooze never overwhelmed them. With a little throttle prodding, the tires managed to clear away the earthen oatmeal, finding footing enough to pull 5,500 pounds of truck out of the quagmire with ease. Other testing locales included a rock crawl, steep ascents/descents, and a log pit with sharp upward-pointing knots. The latter reputed for inflicting sudden death on typical trail tires.

Tax rates must be kept under control, even as the City provides new services and amenities to meet the needs of a growing population. I am proud to say I am an independent candidate, and not a member of a slate. My allegiance is to you, the voter. That’s my promise, and you can count on it.”

SCHOOL TRUSTEE CANDIDATE PORT MOODY A FRESH EXPERIENCED PERSPECTIVE
Dear Port Moody Families and Community Members: Early this year, I made the decision to run for School Trustee in Port Moody. With more than 10 years in this amazing city, a daughter in our school district, and a strong passion to improve the quality of public education, I am ready for the challenge. For the past several years we have seen major financial deficits and a lack of engagement from our Board of Education. We have had the same representatives for over 12 years - some more than 20 years. It is time for CHANGE! We need a team of elected School Trustees that are ready to: • Provide strong leadership and advocacy to rejuvenate our district’s culture • Operate in the role with clear responsibility, accountability and transparency • Improve communication and collaboration with all district stakeholders Throughout my career I have worked with a variety of businesses and organizations as a senior leader, board member, volunteer, coach and teammate. Today, I am ready to work hard to improve our school district and build a leading model of public education for British Columbia. On November 15, I ask for your support to be your elected School Trustee. Your vote will be for an experienced professional that brings much needed vision, innovation and energy to our Board of Education. Sincerely,
• FINANCIAL LITERACY • OPEN COMMUNICATION • PROACTIVE LEADERSHIP

ADOPTIVE FAMILIES
Guichon shares adoptive parent experiences Tom FLeTCher Black Press
VICTORIA – Lt. Governor Judith Guichon is sharing her own experience as an adoptive parent to encourage people to invite the 1,000 young people waiting to join a family in B.C. At an event earlier this month at the legislature to declare November Adoption Month, Guichon described her experience adopting four children to live at her Nicola Valley ranch starting in the late 1970s. The first two children were infants and, in 1989, a relative called and asked if Guichon and her first husband would add a brother and sister who were then
aged three and five. Their mother had two older twin boys and was “struggling on her own. “Having always wanted a large family and having lots of resources such as wide open spaces to offer, we didn’t hesitate to say yes,” Guichon said. “I know that we gave these children a great home, and as a mother I worked to take care of them. “What I never knew is how much they would take care of me. You see, when my children were 20, 16, 15 and 13, we lost their father in an accident. “For a short time after the accident, we were all in survival mode. To say that I would not have endured without my children is not overstating the case.” Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux and Representative for Children
and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond issued a joint statement, noting that 1,300 adoption placements have been found in the past five years. But there are 1,000 more children and teens who are still waiting. “The reality is that many of the young people in care who are waiting for adoption are school age,” they said. “They may be siblings who need to stay together. Some may have special placement needs due to difficult early childhood experiences, prenatal exposure to alcohol or drugs, learning delays or other developmental challenges.” Cadieux launched a social media campaign for November to promote adoption, including a website at www.1000familiesbc. com with adoptive family profiles and videos.

Cats can’t match Langley Knights Port Moody falls 7-3 to Fraser Valley squad By Gary MCKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Colin Catchpole won’t be getting a Christmas card from any of the Port Moody Panthers this season. The Langley Knights forward feasted on the Cats’ defence Saturday night at
the Port Moody Arena, scoring three goals and a helper in a win for the Fraser Valley squad. The 20-year-old forward opened the scoring for the visitors and had two goals before the first period came to an end. Meanwhile, Port Moody struggled in the offensive zone, with only Reece Bartel able to put the puck past Langley goalie Nickolas Trenciansky in the first 20 minutes.
Langley’s Donovan Shambeau also scored in the first period to make it 3-1 for the visitors at the first intermission. The Knights dominated the play in the middle frame as well, with a third goal from Catchpole and a marker from line mate Carson Rose on the power play. Port Moody’s Daniel Obscena also factored in on the scoring, tallying the Cats second goal of the evening.
The Panthers Evan Gain scored on the power play early in the third, but the Knights added two more goals, one from Jackson Surbey assisted by Catchpole and a second from Donovan Shambeau. When the dust settled, Langley was up 7-3. Catchpole was named first star of the game for his efforts. Port Moody goalie Spencer Kozlowski stopped 29 of the 36 shots he faced,
while Trenciansky stopped 25 of 28. Port Moody was scheduled to play Langley Thursday night after The Tri-City News’ deadline and will be on the road for the next week. The club is back at the Port Moody Arena on Saturday, Nov. 22, for a meeting with the Richmond Sockeyes. For more information go to www.portmoodypanthers.com. sports@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC
COLIN CATCHPOLE
The Tri-City Predators C2 club will have to clear some room in their trophy case after winning the Peewee B Cup during the female Remembrance Day Tournament in Burnaby this week. The team, made up of 11 and 12 year old players, downed Vancouver 3-1 in the championship game, with Paris Morgan named game MVP on Monday. Tri-City’s victory wrapped up a successful tournament for the club. Jenay Rennie got a hat trick in the opening game of the series when the Preds defeated Langley 8-0. The team went 2-0 in the tournament 24 hours later when the club dropped North Shore 8-3, with Isabell Attar being named game MVP. Tri-City also eased their way past North Shore in the semifinals, winning 6-1. Kayla Scott got a hat trick in the match and was named game MVP.

Chargers out of playoffs The Coquitlam Chargers playoff run came to an end last weekend when the bantam club was defeated by the Richmond Raiders in the semifinals last weekend. The game was a backand-forth affair for most of the 60 minutes, however the Raiders pulled away toward the end to secure the victory. Richmond got on the board early, but the Chargers were able to fight back with two touchdowns from Martin Norman in the second quarter. Martin and teammate Dade Motz both added touchdowns in the third, but it was not enough to slow the blistering Raiders offence.
Richmond won the game 42-30.
PEEWEE
The Coquitlam Wildcats increased their win streak to 10 when they defeated the Cloverdale Bobcats 47-0 in peewee minor football last weekend.

The Wildcats’ defence kept the Bobcats off the
