Voter turnout up in TC Port Moody’s divisive election campaign, focusing on the future of the official community plan and development along the Evergreen Line route, bumped up voter turnout in Saturday’s election by nearly 10%. Even with a referendum question about a potential casino for the city, the 2011 civic election in Port Moody drew only 26% of the electorate, compared to 35.51% this year. This year, there was also a strong race for school trustee, with six people battling it out for two spots, compared to 2011, when both Port Moody trustee can-

didates were acclaimed. Of note are the number of votes drawn by both candidates in the mayor’s race — Mike Clay won with 4,261, 1,149 more than in 2011, while challenger Gaetan Royer pulled in 3,450 votes, 1,431 more than Clay’s 2011 challenger Robert Simons. Voter turnout was also up in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. Coquitlam’s voter turnout increased from 21.7% in 2011 to 26.01% and, in Port Coquitlam, turnout increased from 20.8% in 2011 to 26% in 2014. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Stewart wins; Sekora, after many years, is out of office Mayor lauds opponent’s long political career Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

Richard Stewart will occupy the mayor’s chair in Coquitlam for another four years after winning Saturday’s civic election in a landslide, almost tripling the vote count of his closest challenger, longtime politician Lou Sekora. The 55-year-old Stewart defeated 84-year-old Sekora, taking 15,002 votes (69.56%) to Sekora’s 5,705 (26.45%). (The other mayoral challenger, Mark Mahovlich, received 859 votes.) “It’s a great result,” Stewart said. “We are very pleased.” Sekora, who was mayor of Coquitlam in the 1980s and 1990s, had been serving as a councillor since 2005, following a brief stint in Ottawa as a Liberal member of Parliament. While the two politicians often clashed on council and the campaign trail, even jousting through their campaign ads, Stewart acknowledged his opponent’s contribution to the city, saying Sekora was always a passionate advocate for the municipality. “He has done a tremendous amount,” Stewart said. “No one can question the kind of passion he brought. He believes completely in Coquitlam.” Stewart added that he hoped Sekora would continue to work with the city, particularly with the organization of the 2016 BC Seniors Games and Coquitlam’s 125th birthday in 2016, the same year the Evergreen Line is to begin service. But when contacted by The Tri-City News on Tuesday, Sekora was adamant that his days in politics are over. He said that after 42 years in public life, he is looking forward to

Sekora was not part of the slate but he believes voters may have got the impression he was affiliated with it. “When those cards went out, I had a lot of people who said, ‘Oh, you are being endorsed by the same people as [NDP New Westminster-Coquitlam MP Fin] Donnelly and [NDP CoquitlamMaillardville MLA Selina] Robinson,” he said, “’therefore, we are not voting for you.’” Coun. Neal Nicholson is another council member who won’t be returning to the table following Saturday’s election. When the votes were tallied, the 72-year-old Protect Coquitlam member found himself in the 10th spot out of eight available positions. His perspective on council will be missed, said

Mayor Stewart. “I have a great respect for Neal,” he added. “He is very thoughtful and really paid attention to the details.” Coun. Craig Hodge topped the polls Saturday night, receiving 13,495 votes — a city record for a council candidate and besting the record previously held by MP Donnelly. He told The Tri-City News he is pleased with the result and is looking forward to working with his council colleagues in the upcoming term. “These are all good people that have been elected,” said the former News photographer. “They are all here for the right reasons.” Hodge was followed by Coun. Terry O’Neill, a former Tri-City News columnist, with 11,712 votes; Coun. Brent Asmundson came in third with 11,036 while Dennis Marsden took 10,372 and Teri Towner received 10,223 votes. Protect Coquitlam member Coun. Chris Wilson placed sixth in the council race with 10,134 votes while longtime Coun. Mae Reid was re-elected with 9,659 votes. Coun. Bonita Zarrillo, another member of the slate, took the eighth and final spot on council with 7,960 votes. Mayor Stewart said that his first task once council business resumes will be to pull together a fractious group following a particularly acrimonious campaign. As members of Protect Coquitlam/CCA, Zarrillo and Wilson were often criticized by council colleagues for bringing slate politics to city hall. Rallying the group will be a difficult task, Stewart said. “I have to figure out how to bring some disparate views and perspectives into the same room so we can work together,” he said. “I want to have a council that strives to work for consensus.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC

COUNCIL NEWBIES

Marsden & Towner are eager to start Each collected more than 10k votes saturday Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

Two of Coquitlam’s newest city councillors are in for a busy week. Councillors-elect Teri Towner and Dennis Marsden spent Monday sitting in meetings and shadowing current councillors ahead of an orientation process on Tuesday, both acknowledging the big learning curve ahead. The pair finished fourth and fifth during Saturday’s civic election, filling the seats vacated by Lou Sekora, the longtime politician who ran for mayor, and Neal Nicholson, who lost his bid for re-election. Mayor Richard Stewart, who won re-election by a wide margin over Sekora, said that the new councillors will bring different perspectives to the council table. And he added that they will have a lot of work to do in order

to be brought up to speed on city issues and the upcoming budget deliberations. Towner and Marsden will become councillors following the Dec. 1 inauguration meeting in council chambers, where the oath of office will be administered. Marsden collected 10,372 votes in Saturday’s election and Towner 10,223 and both said they’d been campaigning hard. “I spent 11 hours on the phone Saturday to get the vote out,” said Towner. “Obviously, I was hoping I would get elected but I had no idea how it would go.” Marsden said he felt he had run a strong campaign but that he was anxious when the results started coming in. Both candidates told The Tri-City News that they had not had a decent sleep in the last week. “It was really up in the air,” said Marsden. “I thought [I would finish] anywhere between third and 13th.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC

SD43 BOARD OF EDUCATION ELECTION

Housecleaning on SD43 school board Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Several new faces will appear around the table at School District 43 board of education meetings after Saturday’s civic election. And while some have government or education experience, others are newcomers to SD43 and will have a lot to learn, agree the presidents of the district’s two largest employee groups. “It looks like the voters wanted change and the voters got change,” said Charley King, president of the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association, who said his union will continue to advocate for teachers and support board efforts to advocate for more funding. “I think it needed to be changed, there was too much baggage out there, [although] it might be a learning curve,” acknowledged Dave Ginter, president of CUPE Local 561, which represents SD43 support staff. “It was too easy going for 10 or 12 years.” Although the CTA didn’t endorse any candidates this time around, King said he is looking forward to working with the new board and letting them know about teachers’ concerns in the classroom. Ginter’s union endorsed

New faces on the school district 43 board of education: From left, Carol Cahoon, Chuck denison and Barb hobson in Coquitlam; Michael Thomas in Port Coquitlam; lisa Park in Port Moody; and Kerri Palmer Isaak in Anmore and Belcarra. Both hobson and Palmer Isaak have previously served on the board in the 1990s. Michael Thomas in Port Coquitlam, Lisa Park in Port Moody and Chuck Denison and Carol Cahoon in Coquitlam — all of whom won — but said he doesn’t have any expectations of them other than they ask questions and pay close attention to board issues. Ginter also said that while CUPE didn’t endorse incumbents Keith Watkins in Port Moody, Diane Sowden in Coquitlam and Judy Shirra in Port Coquitlam, he has respect for them and the work they’ve done in the past. Their experience will be important for the board to move forward, he said. One issue both union presidents would like to see trustees bring up is trustees’ pay, which is tied to the average of stipends for Port Moody, Port Coquitlam

and Coquitlam councillors and automatically adjusted each January — and it’s already the highest in B.C. even though this school district is the third largest. Ginter, whose union purchased ads calling for a wage cut, said he expects at least one trustee to bring up the issue while King said he hopes trustees consider the matter. “I’m glad to hear that people are thinking about talking about cutting their salaries,” King said. “What that says is there is nothing [that’s] off the table here and the priority is getting resources back into the classroom.”

NewCOMeRs COqUITlAM

• Carol Cahoon, an accountant and piano teacher with children in school, said she is ready to get

down to work immediately and looks forward to the challenge. “If there was a board meeting called tomorrow, I would be ready for it,” she said Monday, acknowledging that she has a lot to learn but also wants to work on establishing lines of communication with the community, including families and teachers, and ensure the board gets its finances in order. • Chuck Denison will have to give us his post as the president of the District Parent Advisory Council now that he is an elected trustee. And the small business owner with one daughter in school said he is looking forward to the challenge of being a trustee. Denison also hopes that voters will continue to support public education. “This new, energetic team of trustees will serve

us well. Governments respond to the public, so be involved, speak out, use the media, write letters, engage your trustees.” • Barb Hobson has experience on school board, having served as trustee in SD43 from 1996 to 2002, three of those years as board chair. Hobson said her win hasn’t completely sunk in but she’s excited to get to work. “I’m looking forward to working with the other trustees to get the finances in the district back on track. School District 43 has a well-earned reputation as an excellent school district and I’m extremely pleased that I will be serving on the school board for the next four years,” Hobson said.

PORT COqUITlAM

• Michael Thomas, a father with children in

SD43, said his experience as a volunteer stood him in good stead during the runup to the Nov. 15 election and added that he plans to “hit the ground running” in his work for the school board. “Obviously we need to get the funding situation stabilized and ensure that student resources are restored,” Thomas said.

PORT MOOdY

• Lisa Park, 35, is the youngest new trustee. She was a union-backed candidate who credits her strong team, her work knocking on 5,000 doors and her values for getting elected. The Burnaby teacher who immigrated to Canada from Korea in 2000 works in adult education and is a Grade 5 and 6 teacher-oncall said she will listen and be respectful to those with more experience. “I want to

make a stronger community and school board.”

ANMORe/BelCARRA

• Kerri Palmer Isaak is finishing up her term as Anmore village councillor to take over her post as trustee on the board of education. She has children in school in the district and though she currently lives in Port Moody, plans to move back to the villages soon. “At the moment, what I am really looking forward to as a newly elected trustee is building a great, dynamic relationship with the new board, staff and administration. We are going to have to focus our priorities and be open to each other’s creative solutions and suggestions. Having a team that does not work together is unproductive.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

THE NEW SCHOOL BOARD

Trustees have plenty of work to do – and quickly Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

School trustees elected in Saturday’s elections will have to be able to hit the ground running, says board chair Melissa Hyndes, who was not re-elected but still holds her Port Moody trustee job until early December. The inaugural meeting for the new School District 43 board of education is not until Dec. 9, and with only three incumbents back on the board with six newcomers, the learning curve will be steep, Hyndes said.

Among the issues Hyndes expects to wrap up with the current board in the coming weeks is the CUPE collective agreement, which has to be concluded by the end of the month. But it will be up to the new board to decide how to fund $800,000 in wages the board agreed to pay teachers in September for their first day back at work following the public schools strike. Hyndes said the province has so far taken the stand that the money is outside the collective agreement and hasn’t offered to pay the sum.

“The new board will have that financial responsibility going in. They may have to look at mid-year cost-cutting,” Hyndes said, although she acknowledged that paying the teachers for coming into the classroom the first day following the strike was the “right thing to do.” Hyndes, who spent 12 years on the board, including eight as its chair, said her position as the face of the school board meant she had to take the heat over the district’s financial situation and attributed that to her loss. “As the

board chair, you wear the decisions of nine members of the board and I think people saw that,” she said. But she also acknowledged that the winners in the election worked hard to earn their votes. Among the board accomplishments of which she’s most proud, she said, was getting a new middle school built in Anmore, Eagle Mountain, which opened in September; the district’s Learning Without Boundaries vision, which promotes differentiated learning to accommodate children’s different learning

styles, including the use of technology; and building stronger relationships with the cities. Although she plans to “take a break for a while,” Hyndes said she would continue to stay abreast of education issues. Incumbent Coquitlam Trustee Diane Sowden, who topped the polls in her city, said job one will be for the new board to meet and get to know one another. “I think it’s something we need to get on as soon as possible,” she said.

dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

whO wIll Be BOARd ChAIR?

One of the first decisions the board of education will have to make will be who should be the next board chair. There are at least two experienced trustees who could run the meetings: Judy Shirra, a Port Coquitlam trustee, and Barb Hobson, a newly elected Coquitlam trustee. Both women were on the board at the same time in the mid-1990s and both could put their name in. In an email, Hobson did not say if she would run. Chuck Denison, another new Coquitlam trustee, sees the next few years as an “uphill battle” for School District 43 but is looking forward to his four-year term on the board. The former District Parent Advisory Council president said he would also consider serving as board chair but “that will be a group decision,” he stated in an email.

that I’ve heard transit as the number one issue rather than wanting more driving lanes,” he said. “People want to see more buses and better connections.” Meanwhile, Coun. West topped the polls as he did in 2011, collecting 6,690 votes (three years ago, 5,219 ballots were cast in his favour). Dupont earned the second position with 5,876 votes while 14-year councillor Darrell Penner — the chair of the city’s transportation committee and a spokesperson for the Hyde

Creek hatchery, took third spot with 5,844 votes. Coun. Mike Forrest, the chair of the city’s planning committee, won fourth spot with 5,349 votes and union-endorsed councillors Glenn Pollock and Dean Washington, who campaigned with West, held the last two positions, with 5,173 and 4,795 votes respectively. Nancy McCurrach, who is on the executive board for the New Westminster and District Labour Council and had been door knocking for months to win a

civic job, lost to Washington by 811 votes. The voter turnout was 26% — an increase of 5% over the 2011 election, a city spokesperson said. But while several incumbents retained their seats, a longtime councillor did not. Coun. Michael Wright, a staunch arts advocate and a veteran of more than three decades of public service in Port Coquitlam, lost his seat. “It’s come to an end,” Wright told The Tri-City News, immediately after the results were published on-

ing for the incumbents is Nov. 24. One key issue the new council will have to face is the planned Fremont connector which is expected to carry up to five times more cars during peak hours when Burke Mountain in Coquitlam is built out to 20,000 residents. Further consultation on the various options is expected in the new year. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

Greg Moore is back in the mayor’s chair after he handily beat rival Eric Hirvonen in Saturday’s election. He and new councillor Laura Dupont will join five incumbents for the inaugural meeting at Wilson Centre on Dec. 1. Monday, the city’s chief election officer declared the winners of the Nov. 15 election. Carolyn Deakin put her official stamp on the top vote getters, including Moore and Dupont, plus incumbent councillors Brad West, Darrell Penner, Michael Forrest, Glenn Pollock and Dean Washington. A thrilled Dupont credited her team for helping her become councillor. “It’s been fun, just like a roller coaster,” she said of the race. And she pledged to fight for better transportation planning and more transit on behalf of PoCo constituents. Moore said the need for more public transit was the main theme in the campaign. “It’s the first time

My function as a councillor is to bring what I hear from residents to the decision-making table.” He likened the election campaign to “high school drama” and said the next four years will be about focusing less on the OCP debate and more on livability.

gest issue of the election: Thousands of residents expect a more modest plan that respects Moody Centre’s character.” Royer led what many considered a five-member slate, backed by NDP MP Fin Donnelly, from which three candidates were elected — incumbents Rick Glumac and Zoe Royer as well as newcomer Barbara Junker. In fact, Glumac drew the most votes of all candidates, topping the polls with 4,493 votes to surpass Clay’s 4,261 votes. “I couldn’t have asked for a better result,” Glumac said. “I worked really hard over my first term and, during the campaign, I focused on what my accomplishments were and what I want to do for the next four years.” He attributed part of his success to running a positive campaign and not getting distracted by the negativity. In the coming term, Glumac said he aims to focus on responsible growth that preserves the “unique identity” of Port Moody, work on traffic issues and look to expand Rocky Point Park. Glumac was followed closely in the standings by Coun. Diana Dilworth, who earned 3,916 votes and anticipated the next four years will be “very interesting” and that the city will ultimately benefit from the diversity of opinions on the new council. “I believe the mayor has a clear mandate with his vision but there are a number of council members who have a lot of different ideas, and the challenge will be bringing all those great ideas together,” Dilworth said, adding that regardless of political backgrounds,

A hard-fought campaign in Port Moody brought out more voters than in previous elections, knocking out two incumbents in the process and bringing in one of the youngest politicians in the city’s history. It also returned Mayor Mike Clay to the corner office, where he’s looking forward to continuing council’s work of the past three years and implementing many of the projects and events that were suggested through the city’s latest Ipsos-Reid poll. “People really want more festivals and activities... so we’re trying to get more community-based events going on,” Clay told The Tri-City News. “A lot of work has happened but the events haven’t taken place yet, and I hope we don’t lose that.” Clay is also anticipating more focus on integrating the Evergreen Line into the community and following up on the official community plan with an updated zoning bylaw, transportation plan and parks and recreation plan. What he doesn’t expect to happen is re-opening the OCP. “I’m taking it as my mandate that [voters] are generally supportive of the OCP, though I understand the concerns people have with the speed of growth and traffic congestion we’ve had in the past. “That’s not what this one is about — it’s about slow, controlled growth that would be turned down if it ever got to a point where it was causing problems, but left flexible and adaptable for when we have opportunities.” Clay’s challenger, former city manager Gaetan Royer, finished just over 800 votes shy of the win after a campaign that focused on re-opening the OCP. He did not answer calls from The Tri-City News Saturday evening after the polls closed and declined to be interviewed Monday but sent a response to one of five emailed questions, saying, “Only two of the council members who voted in favour of the official community plan are returning to council.” He added it is “now near certain that the plan will be amended and that makes the whole campaign effort worthwhile for me. Considering that one candidate campaigned against ‘Metrotownification,’ his win... sums up the big-

mittee and the high-tech park sub-committee. “I think Mike [Clay] will do a great job and I’m glad he was re-elected to take the city in the right direction,” Small added. Coming in at ninth was Anne Ladouceur (2,217 votes), followed by Chris Carter (2,166), Callan

Incumbents mostly victorious in Metro Moore gets highest percentage in Metro Jeff Nagel Black Press

Most Metro Vancouver mayors and councillors were re-elected Saturday night as voters largely opted to stick with the tried and true instead of turfing incumbents out of office. Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan, Richmond’s Malcolm Brodie, Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart and Port Coquitlam’s Greg Moore were among the Metro mayors who were returned by wide margins while Port Moody’s Mike Clay also won re-election. Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner took the mayor’s chair in B.C.’s second-largest city, defying expectations of a tight three-way race with rivals Barinder Rasode and Doug McCallum and riding a strong endorsement from outgoing Mayor Dianne Watts, who has left civic politics to run as a federal Tory. Hepner got more votes than her two main challengers combined and her 21,389-vote margin of victory over McCallum is the largest of any mayor in the province. (The next closest was Corrigan, who had 19,265 votes more than the next closest contender in Burnaby.) It was a closer battle for Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who bested NPA challenger Kirk Lapointe by 10,000 votes. Green Coun. Adriane Carr this time topped the polls although no other Greens made it on Vancouver council and most incumbents were re-elected. On the basis of percentage of the popular vote, the most impressive win belonged to Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who won 89% of the vote, compared to 68% for Stewart in Coquitlam and 67.4% for Brodie in Richmond. Neither Hepner, with 48.1%, nor Robertson, with 45.9%, got outright majorities. Sitting mayors did go down to defeat in New Westminster, where Coun. Jonathan Cote replaces Wayne Wright, and in Maple Ridge, where Ernie Daykin lost to Nicole Read. Other incumbent Metro mayors who were re-elected included Port Moody’s Mike Clay, White Rock’s Wayne Baldwin, North Vancouver City’s Darrell Mussatto, Belcarra’s Ralph Drew and Langley Township’s Jack Froese. Langley City’s Ted Schaffer won a four-year mandate after serving as acting mayor following

MAYOR gReg MOORe Peter Fassbender’s 2013 election as a BC Liberal MLA in Surrey. Pitt Meadows was a wide-open race after former Mayor Deb Walters opted not to run again and she was replaced by John Becker. Three Metro mayors were acclaimed without challenge — Delta’s Lois Jackson, West Vancouver’s Michael Smith and North Vancouver District’s Richard Walton. Walton, the current chair of the TransLink mayors’ council, and Port Coquitlam’s Moore, the chair of the Metro Vancouver board, have been the key architects of the mayors’ $7.5-billion

transit expansion plan and are now expected to resume work towards a 2015 referendum to approve new taxes for TransLink. Elections take place next month for the chair and vice-chair of the Metro Vancouver board and for the mayors’ council in January. Sitting mayors were toppled further east in the Fraser Valley, with Abbotsford’s Bruce Banman being replaced by Henry Braun, and Mission’s Ted Adlem falling to Randy Hawes, a former B.C. Liberal MLA. Sharon Gaetz, the chair of the Fraser Valley Regional District, was easily returned as mayor of Chilliwack, with 70.2% of the vote. Voter turnout was somewhat higher than in 2011 in several of B.C.’s largest cities and generally ranged from 25 to 35%. Vancouver had stronger-than-average voter turnout of 37.5%. The highest turnout was in smaller communities — Belcarra, Lions Bay and Bowen Island all had turnout over 60%. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

New rules are coming for civic election spending ToM fleTcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Municipal election campaigns are like mushrooms that pop up every few years, with voters still in the dark about who’s fertilizing them with how much money. That’s why the B.C. government waited until the first elections for fouryear municipal terms were held to examine how campaign spending should be regulated, says Coralee Oakes, B.C.’s minister for community, sport and cultural devel-

opment. Oakes promised there will be new rules on spending and donations from property developers, unions and other donors to municipal council and school board candidates by the next province-wide municipal vote in 2018. A legislature committee started working on it in October, with recommendations due by Nov. 27. “What we found is that for a lot of the organizations, if you’re not in election mode, they are not formed,” Oakes said. “So we knew that if we were to do stakeholder engage-

ment, we need to do it when the elections were happening.” Some urban municipalities see substantial campaign donations from special interests, with only the requirement of disclosure long after votes are counted. In Vancouver, where developers and civic worker unions spend heavily, Mayor Gregor Robinson’s Vision Vancouver party and challenger Kirk Lapointe’s Non-Partisan Association were pushed to voluntarily disclose their major donors before Saturday’s vote. Imposing campaign

reform on local governments is an awkward task for the ruling BC Liberals, who have refused to give up their multi-milliondollar advantage in corporate donations over the NDP and other challengers. NDP leader John Horgan said Monday the opposition will soon table its annual private member’s bill calling for the elimination of corporate and union donations from provincial campaigns, as has been done in other provinces and at the federal level. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

COQUITLAM COUNCIL

Shift in water rates in coquitlam Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Homeowners in multifamily complexes in Coquitlam will see a reduction in their water utility rates in the coming years. But owners of singlefamily residents can expect to pay more. A report to Coquitlam council Monday stated that multi-family homeowners use approximately half the water of single-family residents. It also noted that infrastructure and pipes are cheaper when servicing higher-density areas because the cost is spread out over more residents. Currently, all residents pay the same amount regardless of housing type, a system that has been in place since the 1970s, when the city was mostly singlefamily homes and a few apartments. Since that time, new multi-family units have shrunk while single-family units have gotten bigger, creating an imbalance in the water rate structure, according to city staff. “We know and we have known for a long time that we are operating a pricing system that is inequitable,” said Coun. Neal Nicholson, who was not re-elected Saturday. “You can’t get it perfect and [staff] have a proposal that is their best judgement of what moves us gradually to a more equitable allocation of costs.” The rate re-balancing will be phased in over six years. Once it is complete, a multi-family homeowner will pay 60% of the singlefamily amount. Coquitlam is not the first

Amphitheatre in the works for Coq.’s Town Centre Park

A new outdoor amphitheatre could be coming to the east side of Coquitlam’s Lafarge Lake. The project is still early in the planning stage but on Monday, city council voted unanimously in favour of endorsing the concept and providing $1 million for a preliminary budget. Staff estimated the total cost of the amphitheatre would run between $1 million and $2 million. When it is completed, the outdoor event area and plaza would play an important role during large civic events, such as city to adopt a multi-tiered utility rate. In Burnaby, apartment residents pay 57% of the amount singlefamily homeowners pay

annual Canada Day festivities and the 2016 BC Seniors Games, said a city staff report. “I think this is an important project,” said Coun. Brent Asmundson. “We are trying to attract new events… and we want to return some of the events that have left.” Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park Master Plan, which was written in 1995, identified the area for a future events and performance site, said a city staff report. Renderings of the project showed a large amphitheatre on the eastern

Staff said builders would work with the existing topography when preparing the site, working the seating into the natural slope of the area. The design would also have to accommodate between 100 and 1,000 spectators and be big enough to allow for a mobile production infrastructure, including lighting and stages, according to the project criteria. Public consultation on the initiative is expected to commence next year.

that there has not been enough consultation with the public on the matter while Coun. Craig Hodge, who also won re-election, said some multi-family units house more people than single-family homes. And Coun. Terry O’Neill, another successful candidate, said he had concerns about the optics of the rate balancing. He said newspaper headlines will say “Council waits until two days after the election to jack up water rates on single-family homes.” “That is my prediction and I am not going to go along with that,” he said. Council voted in fa-

vour of the initiative, with O’Neill, Asmundson and Hodge voting against. Coquitlam city manager Peter Steblin acknowledged there is no perfect formula to create a completely equitable utility rate system but city staff has done a great deal of research and the numbers proposed will go a long way toward making the system fairer. Water metering was seen as one way of making the system more equitable but Steblin said the cost of meters is too expensive and would lead to rate increases for all residents.

OUR OPINION

Competition equals votes V

oters in coquitlam can thank lou sekora and the coquitlam citizens’ association for the stronger than usual — although still underwhelming — voter turnout compared to 2011. unofficial results show 26.01% of eligible voters took time to mark a ballot, compared to 21.7% three years previous, and many of those voters were supportive of mayor richard stewart. the incumbent managed to increase his support from about 10,000 votes in 2011 to approximately 15,000 votes this year against challenger sekora, who had 5,705 ballots cast in his name. While many thought sekora was past his prime and shouldn’t have run for the mayor’s job, the race involving a well-known opponent encouraged people to rise to stewart’s defence at the polls. imagine what the voter turnout would be if stewart had been acclaimed. at least with sekora snapping at his heels, stewart was encouraged to defend his

questioned eric hirvonen’s challenge of Greg moore — he was never a threat — but voter turnout was up from about 20.8% in 2011 to 26% in 2014. this is likely due to moore himself, who took his competition seriously and appeared to work hard to pull support. and in Port moody, where politics can be a blood-sport — and, boy, were they ever during this election campaign — voter turnout was a relatively hefty 35.5%, up from 26% in 2011. Gaetan royer, who gave incumbent mike clay a run for his money, was probably instrumental in stirring up voter discontent and getting people out to the polls. say what you will about the challengers but they are key to the democratic process. to them and all the rest of the candidates, winners and losers: thanks for running. and to voters: yes, turnout was up noticeably across our community but don’t get cocky — even the tri-cities’ biggest number, Pomo’s 35.5%, is too small to be proud of.

Environment isn’t the C27 is a pleasant trip enemy of the economy The Editor, The recent G20 summit appears to have accepted Australia’s proposal not to talk about climate change. A smirking Prime Minister Stephen Harper, boasting of his “forthright” approach, provided the rationale: Talk of policies that favour the planet may damage the fragile world economy. In other words, if you are pro-planet, you are an enemy of prosperity. Environmentalism is a perceived enemy of prosperity when alternative

THREE AMIGOS = SLATE?

The Editor, Re. “Incumbent mayors back one another in elections” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 14). I read The Tri-City News article headlined (at tricitynews.com) “Three Amigos have each others’ backs.” Sounds like a slate to me. Ken Holowanky, Coquitlam policies, procedures and technologies are ignored. Geothermal, wind and solar energy sources are not new — they are 30

to 50 years old and, until recently, have been neglected and underfunded. Nevertheless, they are up and running in many juris-

dictions and creating jobs. Green economy plans leading to prosperity could now fill a whole library and are being consulted. Candidates in our 2014 municipal elections often talked about environmental concerns such as mitigating the infrastructure effects of suburban sprawl. Nobody, to my knowledge, called them enemies of the economy. It’s still a free country, Mr. Harper. Doug Rolling, Port Coquitlam

From governments, our children need assurance that a healthy future is guaranteed them and, therefore, politicians have to focus on keeping the environment from further destruction for our next generations. Their top priority should be eliminating air pollution. An unlimited supply of clean unpolluted air is most vital to sustain life and give our children a head start to develop a healthy body. Municipal politicians should do their utmost to help put in force bylaws that will take all air-polluting devices out of their cities, of which wood-fuelled fireplaces are the number one culprits as they are a very uncontrolled burning device. Wood smoke can contain toxins that can contribute to birth defects, alter DNA and be harmful to anyone, especially children, as it can hinder their little lungs from properly developing. Food smokers and outdoor fire pits and fireplaces that use wood as fuel are additional gadgets that pollute our neighbourhoods, robbing our children of their birthright to breathe clean air.

The Editor, I often take the C27 bus that begins its journey from the Coquitlam Central Station. These C27 buses are small and compact but they are clean and well maintained. The drivers are courteous, helpful and pleasant, and drive cautiously, so the passengers

are able to sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery whizzing by. When I board the bus, the driver usually smiles and greets me and I do likewise. Most times, the bus driver waits until I’m seated before moving on. I truly appreciate this. On dismounting, I look

back and say, “Thank you.” This is my way of respecting the part played by these hardworking men and women who keep me moving. I salute them. Many times in life, courtesy and caring are seen as optional. Clare D’Souza Alves, Coquitlam

PUBLIC AUCTION Sunday November 23, at 2pm

COQUITLAM COUNCIL

Food trucks OK in city but not close to eateries Changes made to regs as well as locations Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam council has approved a street vending bylaw that will allow food trucks to operate in the city. Up to 10 licences will be made available for a variety of locations around the city, particularly around the city centre area and Douglas College. Council considered the bylaw last month but sent it back to staff after concerns were raised about the impact the carts and

trucks would have on existing restaurants in the area. In an updated report, staff said that several changes have been made to the bylaw to address council’s concerns. Following more consultation with groups like the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce, the rules now state that a vendor must be at least 30 m from an existing business. With the new buffer requirement, a new list of potential locations was created and presented to council. Two areas where licenses will be discontinued is on the east side of The High Street between Atlantic Avenue and Glen Drive and the south side

of Glen Drive west of The High. Those areas are too close to existing restaurants, according to the city staff report. Several other locations around the city were removed from the pre-approved list, mainly because of insufficient interest from the street vendors. Several areas that are particularly popular for food trucks and carts included the west side of Pinetree Way near Douglas College, which will receive up to two licences, and the eastside of Pinetree Way adjacent to Town Centre Park. The south-west corner of Lougheed at the Barnet Highway (near the West

Coast Express station) is also under consideration along with sites suggested by vendors themselves. Licensing fees have also been changed. For example, licensing costs for street vendors and food trucks were initially set for a $110 flat fee plus $25 for every square foot of space used, which worked out to an average fee of $2,500. Staff suggested a flat rate of $1,000 plus any lost parking revenue, which is closer to what other cities charge. Council unanimously supported the initiative, with councillors Lou Sekora and Bonita Zarrillo absent.

The graffiti-filled walls of the former Coronation Park elementary school in Coquitlam are coming down as School District 43 is beginning demolition of the building that closed in 2007.

CORONATION PARK SCHOOL

Demolition is underway DIANE STRANDBERG THE TRI-CITY NEWS

School District 43 is getting closer to selling eight acres of land in Coquitlam with the demolition of the former Coronation Park elementary school on Balmoral Drive. Workers from Port

Coquitlam-based Litchfield are on scene for demolition of the school that was closed in 2007, and a spokesperson from School District 43 said work is proceeding to “determine future potential” of the property. A rezoning will be necessary to facilitate development on the 8.3-acre site

that is currently zoned P-1 or civic institutional, and it’s not known how long the process will take. In January of this year, the school district approved the sale of the land, along with eight lots at Parkland elementary school, following a lengthy Learning Lands and Neighbourhood

consultation process. According to an earlier report, SD43 is now seeking proposals from developers for the sale of the land, with the caveat that green space and a community amenity be included in the development.

Thank You Thank you to the residents of Coquitlam and to my volunteers and supporters. It will be an honour to serve you again on Coquitlam Council.

2014 CIVIC ELECTION

Shake up in the villages Anderson ousted in Anmore, Drew stays in Belcarra Sarah Payne

The Tri-CiTy News

It’s another four years for Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew while Anmore will see a change in its top council job. Drew, who has held the mayor’s office in the village since 1984, notched yet another victory on Saturday, collecting 183 votes — 45 more than his challenger, Michael Robson. The four council seats will be occupied by incumbents Bruce Drake (223 votes), Jennifer Glover (201) and Jamie Ross (191), as well as newcomer Perry Muxworthy (205), who campaigned on a goal to balance Belcarra’s natural surroundings with growth and modernization. Trailing in the polls were Janet Ruzycki, who, with 189 votes was just two shy of Ross’ seat, and Sean James, who collected 124 votes.

Anmore Mayor Heather Anderson was ousted, however, after she DREW collected 335 votes compared to challenger John McEwen’s 442. Among the councillors elected are Ann-Marie Thiele (the only incumbent to put her name forward for re-election) with 460 votes. Paul Weverink topped the polls with 487 votes, followed by Thiele, Ryan Froese (438 votes) and Kim Trowbridge (393). Candidates who were not elected include Doug Salberg (315), Gord Bytelaar (249), Mario Piamonte (175) and Ian Drever (105). There were no official results available for voter turnout but Drew suggested that, based on the number of eligible voters in each village, Belcarra’s turnout rang in at 61% while Anmore’s was 52.4%.

PORT MOODY MVA

Man dies in crash on David Avenue An early-morning crash in Port Moody on Sunday has left a man in his 30s dead after his vehicle plunged off the embankment off David Avenue near the Noons Creek bridge. Port Moody Police responded just after 12:30 a.m.; BC Ambulance paramedics and PoMo firefighters were already on scene. The driver, a PoMo resident, was deceased. Const. Luke van Winkel said police

would not identify the victim as he was involved in coaching local sports teams and they wanted to wait until the children had been notified. A crane was needed to lift the vehicle back up on to the roadway. Police say the incident is still under investigation but speed may have been a factor. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 604-461-3456.

income is used for tracking purposes only). Note: After Dec. 12, all Christmas registration enquiries can be directed to Share food bank, 2615 Clarke St., Port Moody (rear of the building). For more information, call 604-9312451 or visit sharesociety.ca.

is due to the volunteers. If you would like to help these families, consider one of the following volunteer positions: • Office assistance: Greet donors, accept and record donations at the front counter, answer phones, photocopy and other office duties. • Christmas hamper packing: Put together food hampers (must be able to lift heavy boxes). • Food sorting: Sort food donations into categories; involves organizing food donations,

Celebrating the Christmas season is difficult for families that are struggling to make ends meet. But Share Family and Community Services — and you — can help. Through the Caring Neighbour Program, Share offers a more personalized alternative for groups that wish to support a family from the Tri-Cities. Here’s how it works: • Families register for the program based on need and basic family information is verified by Share. Personal, in-depth information about the families is not known. • Families are randomly selected for donors based on donors’ match preferences. • The sponsor is

matched and given information including size of the family, gender/age of each child and the city of residence. • A representative from the sponsor group contacts the parent(s) of the family within 48 hours of being provided with the family’s information and obtains information regarding food preferences, children’s gift wish lists, etc. • The sponsor is to provide the minimum gift of a food hamper for the family. Additional gifts for the children and other family members are optional and left to the discretion of the sponsor. • Giving a toy or gift to each child in the family is optional; the family

will receive gifts either from the sponsor or from Share’s Toy Shop. If you have a group that would like to be matched with a family, consider your group’s resources (funds available will decide size of family) and if you have any preferences; for example, the age of the children or whether you would prefer a single- or two-parent family. If you advise Share of these preferences early, organizers are better able to accommodate wishes. Registration to be a sponsor ends on Dec. 3. For information, contact the Caring Neighbour program assistant at 604-937-6986 or email christmas2014@sharesociety.ca.

CHRISTMAS GIVING

Have you heard any good Blankets & warm books lately? You should clothes needed for A GOOD READ SUSAN CLARK

here are different ways to read a book these days. You can take the latest bestselling books with you when you are on the go with your portable device, whether a smart phone, tablet or eReader. But what if you’re too busy to read? Whether you are doing household chores, walking the dog or on your daily commute to work, audiobooks are a great way to enjoy a good book. Barbara Kingsolver thought it would be a great idea to leave her family’s urban home in Arizona, move to Virginia and eat the food they could grow on their farm. Kingsolver’s “How hard could it be?” attitude led her family to some funny situations and awkward moments as they remained true to their commitment to live off the land. The result was her book Animal Vegetable Miracle: A Year of Food Life. Grab a cup of tea and spend a few pleasant hours with her, listening to her stories, recipes and ideas about alternatives to processed food. One of the funniest audiobooks is Bossy Pants by Tina Fey. It’s read by Fey and her comic timing is spot on. If you’re a fan of her humour, as seen on 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live, you’ll enjoy this audiobook. Fey’s familiar silly sense of humour and her great advice on how to be a good boss are laughout-loud funny. Listen to this on your daily drive to work and make your commute so much better. Listen to Michael J. Fox talk about his personal philosophy and how it has helped him live with a positive outlook in his battle with Parkinson’s disease. His book Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist talks about life, politics, faith and family, and how this degenerative disease has led him to inspire others.

E-READING

Choosing ThE righT TablET or ErEadEr

Does your Christmas gift list (or wish list for yourself) include a tablet or an eReader this year? Before you go shopping, head to Port Moody Public Library’s information session on Thursday, Nov. 27 from 7 to 8 p.m. to find out how to pick the best device for your needs. With so many choices available, not to mention the wide range of prices, selecting a device can be overwhelming. What is the best size of tablet for you? How are Apple, Android and Windows devices different? How much space do you need? Why would someone buy an eReader if you can also read books on tablets? PoMo librarians will help you narrow down the choices based on your preferences so you can find the perfect device for you. There will also be time to answer your questions. Space is limited so call the library at 604-4694577 to reserve a seat. Port Moody Public Library is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.

all aboUT EbooKs: ErEadErs & TablETs

Terry Fox Library has thousands of eBooks and you can borrow them for free. You can join Fox librarians for an informative session on how to access these books, how to use the library website and how to get eBooks onto your device. Let librarians know what technology you’re using and they will determine which session you should attend. Sessions are on Tuesdays, Nov. 25 (eReaders) and Dec. 2 (tablets), 7 to 8 p.m. Registration is appreciated; call 604-927-7999. Terry Fox Library is located at 2470 Mary Hill Rd. in Port Coquitlam.

Fox’s voice is informal and casual as he talks about his Parkinson’s diagnosis. He has learned to cope with the disease and has raised money for stem

cell research to find a cure. Listening to Always Looking Up really adds a lot to the experience and hearing Fox talk about his experiences in his own

voice is inspiring. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley is an historical mystery, set in England, narrated by a precocious 11-year-old girl. Flavia de Luce lives in a decaying mansion and has a passion for chemistry, especially poisons. When a murder takes place in her very own garden, she’s not the least bit scared. Instead, she challenges the world to stop her from solving it so that she can save her dad from getting the blame. Jayne Entwistle does a perfect 11-year-old Flavia in this audiobook — in tone, intellect and mischievousness! All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot is a great choice for a family road trip or grabbing a few minutes here and there before getting the kids ready for bed. Herriot writes about his early days as a country veterinarian in northern England in the late 1930s. Each chapter presents new, hilarious recollections, rather like comfort food in the form of a book. Each chapter is a funny, touching story about livestock, pets and their eccentric owners. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke will appeal to kids in Grades 4 to 8. One night, young Meggie’s father, Mo, reads aloud from a book called Inkheart and an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. This puts Meggie in the middle of a magical adventure. She and her father cope with all sorts of malevolent characters who have been read out of the book. Sit back and enjoy this vividly descriptive tale of a young girl’s adventure with fantasy characters and creatures. Audiobooks are a great way to enjoy a book. Visit your local library, chat with friendly staff and find out what the future of reading looks like. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Susan Clark works at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

LIVE MUSIC IN POCO

T Nile at Fox theatre T Nile is taking a break from her busy touring schedule to promote her latest album, Tingle and Spark, that came out in August. But the Galiano Island native will be making a special appearance at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Theatre next week — and is hoping to talk to some of the secondary Rock School students before her show. Recently, the indie musician taught a workshop for the Surrey school board and will be performing before 600 students at Lord Byng secondary in

Vancouver. “I really enjoy connecting with the youth,” Nile said. “They have so much energy.” Although it will be her first time at the Fox Theatre, Nile is no stranger to the Tri-Cities: She cut her first two EPs, At My Table and Cabin Song, at the Coquitlam home studio of producer and engineer Adam Popowitz, who now works for the Vancouver music label Nettwerk. Still, her full-length album differs from her former two. It’s “contemporary,” she said, offering more of an electric groove

than her previous folk tunes. For her concert, Nile will be playing some songs unplugged and some with backup music. She’ll be joined by special guests Bridgeworks and The Specifics. • T Nile will perform on Thursday, Nov. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate, Port Coquitlam). It is the first show presented by the Port Coquitlam Performing Arts Society. For tickets at $15/$12, visit terryfoxtheatre.org.

Years ago, when a friend noticed Paul Gauthier’s competitive spirit in sports, he recommended Gauthier try his hand at boccia. From then on, “I never turned back,” the New Westminster resident said. Today, Gauthier is a five-time paralympian — a winner of gold in individual and bronze in pairs from the Athens games in 2004 — and he has set his sights to clinch double gold in two years at the summer event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Gauthier uses his paralympic background as a platform for bigger — and selfless — causes. A father to a four-year-old son, he regularly talks to students about dreaming the impossible and helping them to shape their future. And, earlier this year, Gauthier launched a nonprofit provincial group, called the Individualized Funding Resource Centre

CouRtesY oF pAuL GAuthieR

New Westminster resident Paul Gauthier is one of two athletes who will be speaking on Friday at the inaugural PechaKuchaNight, at the Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam. Society (ifrcsociety.org), to help people with physical challenges — who use the Choices in Supports for Independent Living (CSIL) program — find

ways to stay home rather than get the care they need at an institution. Gauthier, who has cerebral palsy and grew up in foster and group homes,

said people with disabilities often struggle to find someone to help them navigate the complex healthcare system. On Friday, Gauthier

will talk about his new group as well as his paralympic successes at the inaugural PeckaKuchaNight for Port Coquitlam. Organized by Mandara

Lebovitz, the acting general manager for the Terry Fox Theatre, and in partnership with School District 43, PKN PoCo will hear from 11 speakers, each presenting a slide show over about 6.5 minutes. The quick-paced visual show will involve nine artists and two athletes

— including Gauthier — who will talk about their passions, skills and talents and present 20 slides for 20 seconds each. Started in 2003 in Tokyo, PechaKucha (a Japanese term for “chit chat”) is the brainchild of Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture. Now, PechaKucha showings are held in more than 700 communities around the world. The last one in the Tri-Cities was staged by ArtsConnect and the city of Coquitlam, at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, in 2012. Meanwhile, speakers are sought for the next PKNight PoCo, to be held on Feb. 12, 2015. Call Lebovitz at 604-945-9950 to apply. • Tickets for PechaKuchaNight in Port Coquitlam on Friday, Nov. 21 are $12 online via terryfoxtheatre.org or $15 at the door at Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate). Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the show starting at 7:30 p.m. Rock School students from Terry Fox secondary will provide live entertainment.

Sooke resident Trent Arterberry performs his one-man show, The Secret Life of Walter Manny, at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam on Sunday at 2 p.m.

FAMILY THEATRE

Race car driver, firefighter, spy Janis WaRRen The Tri-CiTy News

Trent Arterberry travels around with a lot of kids’ stories in his head. And, sometimes when he doesn’t use them for a while, the 40-year actor from Sooke has to return to the rehearsal studio to run through his lines for it to stay fresh. Last week, Arterberry was in New York to perform Super Scientific Circus, a show he co-developed in 1996 that mixes his comedic antics with circus skills to teach children about the physics of boomerangs, bubbles and sonic booms. On Sunday, Arterberry’s fast-paced, high-energy, one-man production called The Secret Life of Walter Manny stops by the Evergreen Cultural Centre

in Coquitlam for a public performance as well as three events for schoolaged kids — two of which have already sold-out, he said. The California native reimagined the Walter Mitty plot as an eight-year-old boy “with an overactive imagination.” The protagonist lives with his grandmother while his parents work in the oil fields and he “gets into a fair amount of trouble,” Arterberry said. At his new school, the boy escapes his bullies by creating a kind of fantasy world where he takes on different personas: a race car driver, a firefighter, a spy, a pilot; however, he ends up being disciplined by adults and mocked by his fellow classmates who don’t understand him.

Arterberry said he based the boy on his young son Nate who, he said, can often “get so engrossed when he’s playing his toys” that he slips into an alternate world. Trained by mime master Marcel Marceau, Arterberry has two other family shows he’s currently touring Canada and the U.S. with: My Impractical Life, a semiautobiographical story made for teens, and Think Bigg, a elementary school favourite for its physical theatre. • The Secret Life of Walter Manny runs on Sunday, Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam).

BCHL HOCKEY

Express jam a lot of hockey into 2 games By Gary McKEnna The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Express was scheduled to play two games on the road last weekend but after both matches went to doubleovertime, it felt a lot more like three. First up in the club’s weekend road trip was the Trail Smoke Eaters, who played a solid match in front

of their fans. The home team jumped out to a 2-1 lead SANTUCCI in the first period with goals from Ryan Swanson and Lincoln Lane, while the Express’ Jackson Cressey found the back of the net on the power play.

In the second, Coquitlam captain Joey Santucci buried a pass from Cody Boyd, but Trail responded with a marker from Charlie Zuccarini. Cressey, who was the third star of the game, forced overtime when he made it 3-3 with five minutes left in the third period. But the Express came up short in the second overtime period when Eater Zuccarini ended

the game with an unassisted goal. Coquitlam played another five-period game on Saturday, when the Salmon Arm Silverbacks hosted the Express at the Shaw Centre. The game was almost an exact repeat of the bout against the Smoke Eaters, this time with the visiting team taking a 2-1 lead in the first. Santucci opened the scoring for the Express

before teammates Daniell Lange made it 2-1. Neither club was able to find the back of the net in the second, but in the third the Silverbacks were able to tie things up, despite a second goal from Santucci. After two periods of overtime, neither team was able to find the winning goal, with the two clubs splitting the points in the standings. Santucci was named sec-

The Dr. Charles Best secondary Blue Devils will begin their quest for a AAA soccer provincial championship this week. The club is scheduled to take on Mount Boucherie and Winston Churchill secondary in the early rounds of the tournament after finishing in first place in the North Zone division. Best will play a third game on Friday and depending on where they end up after the round-robin portion of the tournament, could be playing playoff games by the weekend. The club steamrolled its way through the Fraser Valley Championships, defeating Semiahmoo 10-1 in the first game, before taking down Abbotsford 3-1 during a Halloween match. The club lost to Sullivan Heights and Panorama Ridge secondary at home but a win against Earl Marriott last week gave the team a berth in the provincial tournament. Best is the only TriCity club to appear in the B.C. championship and finished the regular season with a 7-0 record. Terry Fox, the next best team in the North Fraser division, also had a strong Fraser Valley playoffs but was edged out of a chance to participate in the provincial tourney. The club finished its session with a 5-1-1 record, and went 2-2 in the playoffs.

MINOR SOCCER REPORT

Rebels notch win against Richmond The Coquitlam Rebels improved their season record to 8-2-1 after defeating Richmond FC 1-0 on Sunday in under-13 Metro Select girls soccer. The Rebels dominated the first half but could not break down Richmond’s defensive formation in the lower third of the field. Finally, midfielder Sarah Hilford got Coquitlam on the board on a free kick

from five yards outside the box after the Richmond goalie was penalized for a hand ball. The Rebel defenders saw the match through with Madison Ciulla, Maiya Callister and Milena Wilson shutting down Richmond’s offence all game. The club will return to Town Centre Park next week to take on Vancouver FC.

OBITUARIES

Geoffrey Francis Collins May 19, 1946 to October 15, 2014

He is survived by his two daughters Kristi and Carlie (Barry) and his three grandchildren, Sage, Carter and Chase, two sisters Brenda and Shelia, as well as five nieces and one nephew and their families. Geoff will be remembered as a positive contributor to the Kinsmen Club of Coquitlam of which he was an active member for many years. Geoff enjoyed many years playing and coaching soccer.

A celebration of life will be held on Monday, November 24, 2014 at 11:00 am at The Old Mill Boathouse at Rocky Point in Port Moody.
