Grant regs could be tightened

Stone gave a formal response to the mayors’ call for new TransLink funding sources Tuesday, reiterating the province’s refusal to reallocate any existing carbon tax rev-enue.

But he also said the mayors’ ambitious transit expansion plan asks for too much, too quickly, in terms of federal and pro-vincial government con-tributions.

He said the plan’s expectation of $1.5 bil-lion over 10 years from Ottawa is $500 million more than the federal government’s entire

Build Canada program allocation for B.C. and indicated it may be too much to expect a similar amount from the prov-ince as well.

“The funding assump-tions don’t add up and

call into question whether or not the plan is realis-tic,” Stone said.

He said that could be resolved by extending the investment time frame from 10 years to 20 years.

Otherwise, he said, the mayors might have to contemplate either eliminating or postpon-ing some priorities or else raising more money within the region.

As for the province’s appetite to introduce mo-bility pricing — which could involve per-kilo-metre road tolls — Stone reiterated the province is prepared to discuss that.

But he noted it would be challenging to em-

bark on major new tran-sit system upgrades until there’s certainty on how a mobility pricing system would work.

Stone also rejected the mayors’ request for a 50% provincial con-tribution on new capi-tal and operations costs for HandyDart, noting that has always been TransLink’s sole respon-sibility in the past.

The mayors’ plan aims to invest $7.5 billion into new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver, a major bus system expan-sion, a replacement of the Pattullo Bridge and other projects. Their preferred funding method was a re-

allocation of carbon tax on the short term — or a new carbon tax if the province refused reallo-cation — followed by a shift to mobility pricing in several years time.

“Substantially, this would appear to be a good plan,” Stone said, adding “a bit more work” is needed to determine how it will be financed.

If the mayors agree to hold the referendum sometime next spring — and not during this November’s municipal elections — Stone said the wording of the ques-tion would not have to be resolved until this fall.

Schools, a Scottish festival and seniors’ society are among the most recent recipients of Coquitlam gaming grants.

On Monday, city council handed out $112,395 in Spring 2014 Spirit of Coquitlam awards to 18 orga-nizations, although the city had received a total of $407,778 in grant requests from 23 non-profit community groups.

And regulations for handing out grants could be further tight-ened.

In his report to council, Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s acting general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, sug-gested changes to the program’s procedures, including:

• new applicants be required to take part in a Spirit Grant informa-tion workshop;

• organizations with-out a complete applica-tion submitted on time be considered ineligible;

• and requests from groups with an out-standing bid or grant project completion re-quirements from previ-ous grants be deemed ineligible until issues are resolved.

As well, staff sug-gested the eligibility re-quirements be tweaked to encourage more part-nerships and to evalu-ate bids based on the Simon Fraser formula, a method for allocating resources based on the populations of the Tri-Cities’ member munici-palities.

As part of its host city agreement with Great Canadian Casino, which runs the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver and must give a share of its revenues to Coquitlam, city hall sets aside 12% of that money for community groups, with balance spent on capital proj-ects.

To date, Coquitlam has received around $100 million from Great Canadian since the gambling venue opened on United Boulevard in 2002.

By contrast, the pay-roll in 2012 was $64.6 million — a jump of $6.6 million in one year.

Sheena MacLeod, Coquitlam’s manager of financial services, told The Tri-City News the hike took into account the retroactive wage ad-justments for all labour groups last year.

In 2013, she said, the firefighters’ contract was settled for 2010 and 2011 with 3% increases for each year. “That has a cu-mulative impact because all the firefighters got retroactive pay for four years from 2010 through 2013 for those wage ad-justments, so all of the reported remuneration is considerably more than what their normal annual 2013 salary would be.”

As well, the CUPE agreement for 2012 and 2013 was reached, with

increases of 1.25% and 1.75% respectively.

M a y o r R i c h a r d Stewart’s stipend also went up, from $123,696 in 2012 to $128,987 last year (it’s $129,700 this year) while councillors’ salaries increased from the base rate of $53,836

to $56,139 each (it’s $56,400 this year).

Stewart claimed the highest in expenses last year, at $16,449, while Coun. Neal Nicholson charged expenses to taxpayers of $10,750 and Coun. Craig Hodge $10,315 — most of it to

attend provincial and national conferences; the lowest expenses came from Coun. Brent Asmundson, at $6,959.

The remuneration for council in 2013 was $519,635, which includes the two months paid to councillors Chris Wilson

and Bonita Zarrillo, who were elected in the November byelection; councillors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson each collected in $20,507 for their half-year on council before quitting to take on their MLA [email protected]

Other top earners in-cluded deputy fire chief Alan Nicholson ($183,513 in salary and benefits) and former director of en-gineering Andrew Wood ($180,690), who left the city this year. Parks and recreation director Barry Becker earned a total of $179,701 in pay and ben-efits while development services director Laura Lee Richard earned $173,441.

The city’s direc-tor of finance, Karen Grommada (seventh on the list with a base pay of $127,545 and $19,749 in benefits and other com-pensation), said some of the base salary totals include retroactive pay,

after the city signed la-bour contracts with the Canadian Union of

Public Employees and the PoCo Fire Fighters Association.

Last year’s schedule of remuneration showed the city spent $25 million

in staff salaries and ben-efits, up from the $23.8 million spent in 2011.

Council pay and ex-penses were also out-lined in the document. Each councillor was paid $34,151 in base salary by the city while Mayor Greg Moore earned $88,024; Moore also receives a $71,000 annual stipend from Metro Vancouver as chair of its board.

Expenses var ied among PoCo’s elected of-ficials. Moore led the table with $4,811, followed by councillors Darrell Penner ($4,314), Mike Forrest ($3,917), Glenn Pollock ($2,967), Michael Wright ($1,959), Dean Washington ($1,080) and Brad West ($900). [email protected]

The Tri-Cities have been able to enjoy Mongolian BBQ since September of 2009. Since then, delighted diners have been creating their own taste treats and having them cooked up right in front of them at King’s Mongolian Grill.

This Month however a transformation has

taken place. You can still enjoy the fabulous food here, but the restaurant itself has changed hands! It is now called Sun Mongolian Restaurant and is under new ownership. Not only has the name changed, the interior has undergone a facelift and the exterior

sports a bright new sign!That’s not all that has

changed. The prices are lower and there are also more items to choose from when you create your master piece!

This isn’t just eating, it’s fun! First you choose your weapon. At lunch, pick a Small Bowl (from $5.99),a medium ($7.50) a large bowl ($8.50) or All You Can Eat ($11.99). The All You Can Eat includes soup, salad and rice.

At dinner, (after 4:00 pm) All You Can Eat is $13.99, but when you dine-in, not only do you get get salad, rice, and soup, but also shrimp chips, pineapple and veggie spring rolls. You can also choose a Small Bowl (from $8.50)or a large bowl 10.50).

A Kids Bowl is also available for $3.99 at lunch or dinner. (5 years or under)

Take-out is available as well, for the Medium and Large Bowls. Once you’ve chosen your bowl size, you can pick between Lamb,

Pork, Beef and Chicken, Tofu and now seafood (for an additional $2.99/100 grams),(or some of each) and 15 types of veggies, as well as rice and egg noodles.

Now for the best part! The sauces! 15 to choose from! Mix and match to create your own, or try one of their Special combos. I like to experiment!

Hand over your choices to the chef who coats the piping hot grill with low in fat sesame oil, does some cool tossing and stirring with a set of over sized chop sticks, and voila! In 10 to 20 seconds your masterpiece is complete.

This is “fast food” but it’s also healthy. They create all their own sauces from scratch, none of them with MSG. The vegetables arrive daily from their supplier and are always freshly chopped just before serving. Vegetarians and Diabetics will also love this place as you get to choose what goes on your plate and in your sauce, so there are no surprises.

The new owners have also added some daily specials:Monday - High school Students get 5% OffTuesday - Seniors Save 5%Wednesday - Vegetarian Bowls are 5% Off Thursdays - Kids Under 5 eat free.

If you have yet to try the new Sun Mongolian Grill, make it your next dining adventure. You’ll fi nd it tucked in between Europe Bakery and City Hall, in downtown Port Coquitlam. You’re sure to enjoy the experience almost as much as the cuisine.

Other top officials made more in 2013, as well. Paul Rockwood, general manager of fi-nancial services, made $173,847 in 2013, plus $1,282 expenses, up from $141,718 in 2012.

Similarly, Ron Higo general manager of com-munity services, made $149,633 and $1,547 in expenses in 2013, com-pared to $138,525 and $1,464 in expenses in 2012, when his job was director of community services.

Meanwhile, Tim Savoie, general manager of de-velopment services, saw a jump in salary to $155,854, compared to $147,985 when he was the director of development services and the city’s top wage earner in 2012. He has since left the city.

As a result of the reor-ganization, the city paid out about $1.3 million

more in 2013 ($8.3 million compared to $7 million) for employees making greater than $75,000 and total staff remuneration climbed from $17.2 mil-lion in ’12 to $18.4 mil-lion in ’13 — this despite the fact that the number of people making more than $100,000 annually

dropped from 21 to 18.Council’s pay, virtually

unchanged from 2012, shows Mayor Mike Clay took home $73,438 while councillors each earned $25,424. (One third of elected officials’ pay is tax-free.)

Clay also had the high-est expenses, at $3,758,

while, among council-lors, Diana Dilworth was reimbursed $2,182 for expenses while, Bob Elliott, Rick Glumac, Gerry Nuttall, Zoe Royer and Rosemary Small collected $2,104, $1,637, $1,660, $1,759, and $1,609 [email protected]

VICTORIA

A few things have changed since the last all-out teacher strike

in B.C. That was just two years ago, when the BC Teachers’ Federation was coming off its second-ever voluntary agreement with a 16% raise over five years and what the union termed an “enhanced” signing bonus of $4,000. Even with special teacher-only top-ups, BCTF members almost rejected the last of the gov-ernment’s big-spending pre-Olympic labour deals signed in 2006.

By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the legislature lawn, howling for another 16%, with backup vocals provided, as usual, by HEU, CUPE, BCGEU and other public sector unions that settled for less. Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises but were oblivious to all that.

Last Friday, the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the de-mands looked a bit thinner. The signing bonus target is up to $5,000 but the raise is a mere 8% over five years, plus another huge basket of cash disguised as benefit improvements and so forth. Government negotiators put their total compensation demand at 14.5%.

One obvious dodge: They want the bottom two steps of the teacher salary grid dropped — that’s simply a raise for entry level teach-ers. Admittedly, those are rare creatures these days, with shrinking enrolment and ironclad seniority rules that allow retired teachers to monopolize substitute work.

Something else that has changed since 2012 is that the government has granted the BCTF’s wish to bargain directly with the province. The education ministry executed a takeover of the BC Public School Employers’ Association after last year’s election and installed veteran industrial union negotiator Peter Cameron. He’s backed up by longtime labour specialist Lee Doney, whose task is to keep the teacher deal within Treasury Board limits that have de-

fined all other public sector union settlements.

Doney made it clear last week that no mediator is going to come in and “split the baby” as long as the BCTF position is so far be-yond the current compensation framework.

Despite constant union complaints of low wages and deteriorating working conditions in B.C. schools, education grads remain lined up around the block hoping to get in. Why is that?

For those who have been exposed to life out-side school for a while, it’s fairly simple: The job market out here in the real world is tough.

And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job:

Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition, and the top-heavy seniority list that places the av-erage teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three

months of prime-time vacation.I am occasionally lectured by

teachers that the job goes far be-yond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different esti-mates, variously defined.

Alas, it’s a salaried job and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay — take it or leave it.

Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

A brief history of public school teacher demands

A plan for careFinally, someone is saying aloud what everyone has

suspected for years: the patchwork quilt that is men-tal health care in B.C. is tattered and threadbare, and

needs a cohesive plan to make it whole again.It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that the clo-

sure of Riverview has occurred roughly at the same time as the number of people with mental health and drug abuse issues has soared, resulting in revolving door emergency care and policing issues across the Lower Mainland, result-ing in high costs to hospitals and the cities that have to take responsibility.

De-institutionalization has resulted in many successes and we have seen young people who earlier would have stayed at Riverview for much of their lifetime now receiv-ing treatment in the community while also holding down jobs, keeping their friends and planning a future.

But this hasn’t been everyone’s story and noted clinical psychologist Dr. John Higenbottam has nailed the issue with his report — endorsed by Coquitlam council as its of-ficial policy on Riverview — to describe a situation where people with complex treatment needs that are not being met by the community and hospital system are floundering, often landing in shelters or in dangerous, unhealthy situa-tions on city streets.

But it doesn’t have to be this way, according to Higenbottam. With a sensible plan for the reuse of some Riverview buildings, and a new purpose-built facility, this stunning site can once again be a model of mental health care and treatment research.

While it seems like a scene from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest meets Back to the Future to have existing Riverview buildings reused for people with severe mental health care concerns and addiction issues, there are good justifications for doing so. If the buildings such as Valleyview 300, Centre Lawn, Henry Esson Young and Pennington Hall aren’t so far gone from disuse that they can’t be saved, re-juvenating at least some areas for mental health care needs could help people and save money in the short term.

Longer term, as Dr. Higenbottam suggests, a new struc-ture for people with severe mental health issues seems both sensible and humane.

As the provincial bureaucrats decide the future of this important public land, let’s hope Higenbottam’s recommen-dations are front and centre in their thinking.

The Editor,Re. “Transit fans

love plan but so does TransLink’s main foe” (The Tri-City News, June 18).

Make my day, Jordan Bateman, vote against the Metro mayors’ plans.

Voting no means that TransLink will not be able to maintain and up-grade the 2,300 km of major road network to keep vehicles and goods moving, nor to build a new Pattullo Bridge.

Oh, wait, Mr. Bateman, you complain about the plan without having read all the details. Good boy, we expected no less from you.

But then not only do you not like public transit but, like our smiling pre-mier and her minister of transportation, you don’t know much about tran-sit, do you? This is obvi-ous by your questioning “the need for more West Coast Express service when the Evergreen Line will extend SkyTrain to Coquitlam.”

The Evergreen Line and WCE service to-tally different areas and having them meet at Coquitlam Central Station will be practical for many people. This is not something new nor is it unusual. Having vari-ous types of transit sys-tems meet at some sta-tions has been commonly done for well over a cen-tury in many countries.

Here in Canada, Toronto has seven lines of commuter trains, Montreal five, and soon six. In both cities, the trains stops at suburban stations, allowing pas-sengers to take a bus for a short ride — or even walk — to their desti-nation near the station instead of going all the way to the end of the rail line downtown, then backtracking.

How many mem-bers does the Canadian Taxpayers Federation have anyway? And is there one single thing they actually like? J-L Brussac, Coquitlam

Little insight in rantsThe Editor,

Re. BC Views, The Tri-City News.Columnist Tom Fletcher’s rants

provide no real information or in-sight into our political problems.

He doesn’t seem worried about bothering with facts or research to back up his points of view. Blowing his own horn to sound off against unions seems to be his sole agenda.

I suggest Black Press and The Tri-City News hire a reporter/columnist who does his job with research and provides information that is useful to help us understand the real problems in B.C.Kay Norton, Coquitlam

PoCo must take actionThe Editor,

Re. “No laughing matter: Second Storey closes” (The Tri-City News, June 20).

I find it interesting that Port Coquitlam Coun. Michael Wright is so concerned over “what’s going on with the arts and culture locally.” He stated: “We need to take leader-ship.” I know of several candidates suitable for the position of arts and culture co-ordinator for the city of PoCo that was previously held by Yvonne Chui. The irony is that the city hasn’t hired a re-placement for a job vacant since last October.

Perhaps Coun. Wright should be a little more concerned about being the chair of a commit-tee that has failed the arts community in PoCo rather than publicly expressing “disappointment in the state of the arts in the community at the mo-ment because there have been several losses.” How about you just do something about it.Betty Anne Myers, Port Coquitlam

Don’t worry about details, CTF, just slam public transit

For nearly 70 years, Riverview Hospital and its attached facilities was a major economic driver in the Tri-Cities with close to 4000 jobs associated with the operations of the hospital. The future of the lands has been a hot topic since its closure in 2012. It’s made headlines in the Lower Mainland most recently with the release of a report by the City of Coquitlam stating what they would like to see done with the site.

BC Housing has started to move forward with the development of the Riverview lands through their Renewing Riverview project, looking at how to best utilize this prime piece of real estate. Because the Tri-Cities Chamber has long been focused on how to use the lands as both a hub for mental health and wellness and an economic driver within the Tri-Cities, BC Housing

has asked the Chamber to come forward with a vision and a plan as to what local businesses would like to see at the Riverview site. The Chamber’s Renew Riverview subcommittee consists of local business leaders and will be responsible for research, discussion and analysis of issues related to the economic development of the Riverview lands.

Riverview presents a great opportunity to bring hundreds of good paying jobs back to the community. When Riverview was open, many of the staff also lived

in the Tri-Cities community and spent their hard earned salaries at local businesses. My mother was a nurse at Valleyview, the geriatric ward at Riverview Hospital, for many years and raised a family in Port Coquitlam. There is temptation to build more housing on this site, but, is that really what we need? If we want to attract people and build a community, we need good paying jobs right here in our own backyard.

The Riverview lands already have a century of economic contributions to the Tri-Cities under its belt. Let’s recognize the potential of this site and revive Riverview as an economic driver once again. Let’s reach out to the private sector in medical services, mental health and addictions services and get them involved. The Province needs to re-examine how we deal with mental health and, with the support of the private sector and the community, we can breathe new life into Riverview as a driver for the Tri-Cities’ economy and for the advancement of mental health and wellness in BC.

Who: What’s On! Port Coquitlam

What: Port Coquitlam’s own com-munity events, entertainment & leisure magazine and online

Where: www.whatsonpoco.ca

We are a community events, entertain-ment and leisure magazine and website focusing on what’s happening in Port Coquitlam. I’ve always wanted a career in the publishing/writing/editing world, but never actively pursued it. One of my friends was working on the Ridge Meadows edition of What’s On. I wanted to work with her at the time, but they weren’t hiring. When the What’s On name became licensed last year, I took the opportunity to research it more and purchase the rights to the Port Coquitlam license.

There’s so much that I love about my business now, from meeting so many people to hearing the positive feedback, to putting it all together. I think the best part, though, is when the magazines are delivered and I open the � rst box to see the new magazine. Very exciting to see it! Something I created!

I love the sense of community in Port Coquitlam. Even though it’s part of the busy Lower Mainland, it still feels like a small family-oriented community. Now, when I’m out selling, I run into someone I know around every corner. In � ve years, I want that feeling to continue and ex-pand. I see us being the go-to place for residents and visitors in Port Coquitlam wanting to know what is going in their community.

If you want to know more about What’s On! Port Coquitlam, feel free to get in touch!

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

STOP SUMMER LEARNING LOSSDon’t let your child fall behind this summer. The summer brain drain means that without intervention, the achievement gap between suc-cessful and struggling students widens in the summer. Students whoare already struggling or have learning challenges are at the most risk. While studies have shown students lose 2.6 months of mathlearning, literacy is the most affected by the summer break in learning.In contrast, if students focus on developing theirskills over the summer months they can actually gain ground and feel more confi dent when they go back in September.

Magic back for Year 2

Magicians from around western Canada — and be-yond — are in Port Coquitlam this week to wave their wands and perform tricks in the second annual MAGIC Festival.

Organized by two-time world magic champion Shawn Farquhar, the family-friendly shows run until Friday with groups like the Vancouver Magic Circle and t h e C a n a d i a n Association of Magicians offering their best.

Friday’s gala at the Terry Fox Theat re (1260 Riverwood Gate, PoCo) concludes the festival with the fifth annual Share The Magic, ben-efitting the Share food bank. Among those on the stage will be Farquhar, Billy Hsueh and Steve Dickson. The charity event is produced by home-town magician Alex Seaman.

Other shows to-night and tomor-row are: 

• Magic’s Best Kept Secrets with Hsueh, The Magic of Zanthera and Leo Kanzelberger (Wednesday, 7 p.m., Second Storey Theatre); 

• The Magic Gala with Henry Tom, Rod Chow, T r e v o r a n d Lorena Watters, Jeff Christensen, Ray Roch and Lon Mandrake (Wednesday, 9 p.m., Second Storey Theatre); 

• a n d R a y Gamble (Thursday at 7 p.m., Second Storey Theatre).

The Matinée returns homeBy Janis Warren

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The last time the band members of The Matinee played an out-door show in Coquitlam was

when they were Centennial secondary students.

Lead singer Matthew Layzell re-members the July 1 gig at Place Maillardville community centre.

“It’s kind of neat to be coming back and doing it on a much-larger scale,” he said, referring to their Canada Day gig in Coquitlam Town Centre Park where they will perform before an estimated crowd of 50,000 revellers.

A lot has changed for the band since they graduated in 1997, the most sig-nificant happening three years ago when they took third place in the Peak Performance Project.

After clinching their $50,000 prize from the radio station, “we pretty much walked into a record deal so that helped us start running at the gates es-sentially,” Layzell said.

The rockers stretched the cash to pay for rehearsal space, music videos, tour support, photo shoots, a publicist and a debut record, titled We Swore We’d See The Sunrise, that was released last year and produced by Grammy-award winner Steve Berlin of REM and The Tragically Hip fame.

Their tight budgeting and hard work paid off: Their tunes can now be heard in regular rotation on CBC Radio, The Peak 102.7 FM and The Shore 104.3 FM.

But recently, they had a setback with the loss of bass guitar/keys player Mike Young (The Matinee announced the news on its website earlier this month).

Layzell said there are no immediate plans to replace Young just yet.

“The four of us are pretty tight and I think we need to be careful as we bring someone else in the fold, especially with the amount of time we spend on the road and touring,” he said. “It’s got

to be a pretty wise decision.”Layzell said Young’s absence has

been felt as he was an integral song-writing collaborator as well.

Last week, The Matinee was in Greenhouse Studios in Vancouver to cut a summer single and to work on new material for their sophomore album, due out later this year.

However, with Young out, the studio producers stepped in to help smooth the sound as they are songwriters and musicians, too.

“For this recording, we didn’t go

into the studio with one song. We actu-ally went in and started jamming so it would feel like a band in there and then we saw what came out of those jam sessions. We just rolled tape and turned the microphones on.

“It was a really inspiring and a free, creative process.”

Layzell hinted the band will be play-ing the summer single at their Canada Day show in Coquitlam as well as material from their yet-to-be-released album.

A Centennial secondary grad will appear in CBC-TV’s Short Film Face Off for the second time in four years.

Last week, Coquitlam native Alan Miller started to tape the real-ity competition to promote his work In Passing, a four-minute long flick he wrote and directed for his mas-ter’s thesis last year at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts.

The movie, which last October had its international premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival,

has gained atten-tion at the 18 film festivals it has been screened at this and last year.

A n d i t h a s scooped four top prizes, including a Student Emmy.

On Monday, In Passing was show-

cased at Fine Cut: KCET’s annual gala of student films across southern California.

In 2011, Miller made it to the Top 3 in the CBC Short Film Face Off with his flick, Conrad the Wise.

Speaking from Halifax last Friday, Miller said he applauds the public broadcaster for highlighting short films, a medium that only a select number of people have access to.

“It’s a great opportunity to get it in front of a national audience,” he said of Face Off.

Nine short films are in the running for this year’s contest, with Miller’s being the only entry from B.C. to make the cut.

In Passing centres on two lonely people who happen to be jumping off the same building in Vancouver — at the same time — but in two different spots.

As they descend, love strikes in mid air.

“It’s the story about two people that meet briefly but hopefully you get a sense of something larger about their life,” Miller said. “There might have been something missing and, in this last weird moment, they get an unex-pected resolution. That speaks to the idea that our time is always limited.”

Miller said he sometimes gets asked if he feels the narrative is de-pressing.

“I never thought so,” he said. “I thought it was a happy ending.”

Audience-goers to the first of three shows for the Music on the Grill se-ries will bask in an array of sounds when Babe Gurr and Jim Byrnes come to Coquitlam next week.

Each has new albums out — St. Louis Blues for the Juno-award winning Byrnes and Hearts Up To The Sun for Gurr — and will be playing tunes from their new CDs as well as pieces from older compilations.

That means a mix of genres such as folk, roots, world beat, blues, pop and even country for the summertime perfor-mance at the Evergreen Cultural Centre on July 4 and 5.

“I think [the crowd] won’t get bored because the music is so diverse yet I think it appeals to most people,” Gurr said.

The pair started to partner for concerts about six years ago, with Gurr taking the opening act. “It just seemed to be a good combination,” she said. “We draw from the same age group. Baby boomers is the bulk of our audience.”

Added Byrnes, “It al-ways seems to be a nice night and very eclectic.”

And both praise each other for the quality of musicians they have in tow.

Byrnes’ repertoire is large and he tends not to work off a set list. As a result, his backup band must accommodate his last-minute wishes be-cause he likes to feel out the crowd before

the show starts. “I’ll do a little structure of a set but then things come into my mind and right before we go on I’ll say, ‘Hey, we haven’t played this one in a while.’”

“It keeps it fresh. I hate doing the same thing over and over and over again,” said Byrnes, who

is also known for his T.V. acting and recordings with the Sojourners.

For her part, Gurr said she’ll be promoting her latest R&B-inspired album, which has a lot of horns (she won’t be bringing a horn section with her for the show). And she’ll be playing songs from SideDish, the CD she plugged at her last Music on the Grill appearance in 2011.

• Tickets for Music on the Grill featuring Jim Byrnes and Babe Gurr are $52 for the dinner and concert, or $32 for the 8 p.m. show only (Saturday’s dinner op-tion is already sold out). Call Evergreen at 604-927-6555 or visit [email protected]

NO WORDSCoquitlam native Alan Miller shot the backdrop of his short, In Passing, at the Vancouver Lookout Tower.

COURTESY OF ALAN MILLER

Second time a charm?“Obviously, there’s something sad

going on with both of these people but they get something beautiful at the end. It’s about them falling in love. It’s not about them falling.”

“Once that story is complete, it doesn’t matter what happens after that,” he added.

To produce it, Miller and a cam-eraman used the Vancouver Lookout

Tower to film the backdrop. Then, on a sound stage in Los Angeles, his crew suspended the two actors in harnesses to act in front of a green screen with fans blasting. The rest was built using computerized images.

Now, Miller said he plans to return to Vancouver  “to put down some roots and keep making movies.”

• The first episode of CBC’s Short Film Face Off is Sept. 13.

Coquitlam Reds runner Matthew Woo gets chased back to first base by the North Delta Blue Jays during a B.C. Premier Baseball League game at Mundy Park on Sunday afternoon.

LPGA event coming to Coq. course

The Vancouver G o l f C l u b i n Coquit lam has been chosen as the host venue for the 2015 Canadian Pacific Women’s Open.

The event, which will be contested between Aug. 17 and 23, will feature female golfers like two-time reigning open champion Lydia Ko, who captured her first LPGA Tour victory at the course in 2012.

Ko, along with countless other competitors, will be vying for the $2.41 million purse.

“Our member-ship is extremely excited and hon-oured to once again host the LPGA Tour’s fin-est players at t h e C a n a d i a n Pacific Women’s Open,” said Paul Batchelor, host club volunteer chair with the Vancouver Golf Club. “Our club t r u l y e n j oye d hosting the 2012 Canadian Women’s Open and we are thrilled to once again showcase our club and our classic golf course to the LPGA play-ers and Canadian golf fans.”

The club will be looking to recruit 1,200 volunteers for the event and inter-ested individuals are asked to visit golfcanada.ca for more information.

Scott Simmons, Golf Canada’s ex-ecutive director, said the event was successful when it was hosted in Coquitlam in 2012.

Reds start to turn season aroundBy Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Reds continued to climb up the B.C. Premier Baseball League stand-ings after winning two of three games last week.

The club improved its record to 12-21 and have gone 5-5 in its last ten games, good enough for tenth in the league and rising. Last Thurday, the Reds visited Surrey for a 4-0 win over the Whalley Chiefs.

The game was tied 0-0 for the first seven innings before the visi-tors’ bats came alive in the extra inning, with Jake MacDonald, Evan Soutar, Austin Butler and Cameron Williams all finding home plate. Coqui t lam’s Drew Horton got the win on the mound.

The team continue its winning ways on Sunday at Mundy Park, when the club hosted the North Delta Blue Jays.

Coquitlam racked up

three runs in the fourth —  scored by Soutar, Williams and Nicolas Panazzo — before Tyler Hoefer scored in the fifth.

The Reds kept the pressure up in the sixth inning, with runs from Zac Comeault, Thierry Parker, T.J. McCullough and Matthew Woo on the way to an 8-2 vic-tory. Reds pitcher Kole Benard notched the win for Coquitlam.

However, the streak came to an end in the second game of

Sunday’s doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

The Reds were able to come out of the gates swinging, racking up two runs in the opening inning. But North Delta consistently posted runs throughout the game, eventually winning 6-2.

The Coquitlam Reds were scheduled to play the North Shore Twins Tuesday night after The Tri-City News’ deadline.

The team was also scheduled to take on the Okanagan Athletics

at Mundy Park on Wednesday night.

REDLEGSM e a n w h i l e , t h e

Coquitlam Jr. Redlegs continued to struggle in the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League season.

The club, which cur-rently sits in second to last place in the league, fell to the Nanaimo Jr. Pirates on Sunday at Mundy Park.

Coquitlam took the

lead in the bottom of the fourth with runs from Riley Engleson and Cole Walter to make it 2-1. However, the team struggled to contain the Pirates in the fifth, allow-ing three runs from the visitors.

The Redlegs scored again in the sixth but it was not enough to spark a comeback and the home team lost to the Vancouver Island squad 5-3.

Coquitlam was unable to turn its game around in the second match of the doubleheader, de-spite posting 10 runs in the match.

The game started badly for the team, which surrendered 14 runs in the first three in-nings.

But the Redlegs showed some resiliency, slowly crawling back into the game with sin-gles in the first and sec-ond inning, two runs in the third and a three run showing in the fourth.

Both teams failed to bring runners in the fifth and sixth, before Coquitlam came close to tying up the game in the seventies with three runs.

Cole Tatham was the losing pitcher in the 14-10 losing effort.
