Serving the silver tsunami
By Diane StrandbergTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Fraser Health is ad-dressing the mental health needs of the sil-ver tsunami by building a new residential com-plex for older adults in Port Coquitlam, says the health authority’s execu-tive director for mental health and substance use.
Andy Libbiter said the population of older adults is increasing and those who suffer from schizophrenia, bipolar or schizoaffective disorder deserve to live out their lives in safety and dignity.
“Our population is in-creasing,” Libbiter said. “We need to pay more attention and build or provide more facilities for the older population as the years go on.”
But he cautioned peo-ple from thinking of the new facility as a return to institutionalization.
“In years past, people would come into residen-tial care and stay for life,” he said. “That’s not hap-pening now.”
The new facility will recognize, however, that some may have mental health concerns as well as health needs, and that combination may prevent them from living inde-pendently.

Sater cut off: bartenderBy Gary McKenna
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The bartender who served Cory Sater the night he was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run crash that killed two peo-ple testified that Sater had been cut off at the bar.
Louise Richez, who was a bartender at the Lougheed Village Bar
and Grill on Feb. 18, 2011, told the court she had served Sater three
double rye and cokes and a Jägerbomb — a mix of Jägermeister and
Red Bull. She added that her colleague, bartender Donna Haldane, had also been serving Sater when the two servers de-cided to cut him off.
“He was getting a bit hyperactive, louder,” Richez said. “I didn’t have too many problems with him. Just by me watching him, he had had enough.
“Yes, he was intoxi-cated,” she added.
When Crown counsel Chris McPherson asked the witness whether she believed Sater was safe to drive at that point, she said, “No.”
Defence lawyer Rishi Gill jumped on the wit-ness’ statement, saying if Sater was as intoxicated as she said, she would have called him a cab.

VolunteerFest on Saturday at mall
By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy NewS
Volunteerism is alive and well in the Tri-Cities and an event this week-end will make it easier for people to who want to help to connect with agencies that need it.
Kind of like speed-dating for the volun-teer community, Tri-Cities VolunteerFest — Saturday, Oct. 19 at Coquitlam Centre mall — will bring 25 agencies together with potential volunteers for an intro-duction that could result in a budding relationship.
At least that’s the goal of Community Volunteer Connections executive di-rector Stacy Ashton, who said the annual event is one of the simplest ways to figure out where to lend a hand if you would like to give back to the community.
“It’s really valuable,” she said. “There are so many different ways to contribute.”
For example, if you are interested in helping isolated and frail elders, or fundraising for a local cause, there are oppor-tunities to meet agencies seeking help and exper-tise.
“You know you want to get involved. This is the place to find out how,” Ashton said.
Working in volun-teerism is one of the best jobs, said Ashton, because she gets to meet people who want to give back and make their community a better
place. “I get to see people and their acts of generos-ity and compassion.”
But while volunteerism is on the rise in the Tri-Cities, there are certain groups that do more than others.
For example, recent immigrants to Canada tend to get involved as a way to get to know their new home and meet new
people; seniors are avid volunteers because they want to keep busy and contribute; and young people are signing up to be volunteers to learn more about the world and gain experiences — and resume items — that will last them a lifetime.
Tri-Cities Volunteer-Fest runs from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Agencies sched-
uled to be there include:• Access Youth
Outreach Services (PoCoMo Youth Services);
• Canadian Mental Health Association;
• Citizen Support Services;
• Eagle Ridge Hospital;• Eagle Ridge Hospital
Auxiliary;• Friends of Coquitlam
Public Library Society;
• Glen Pine 50 Plus Society;
• Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada;
• Immigrant Services Society of British Columbia;
• New View Society;• Port Coquitlam Royal
Purple Lodge #10;• SUCCESS;• Soroptimist Interna-
tional of the Tri-Cities;
• The Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver;
• Tzu Chi Foundation Canada.

Kwikwetlem concern stops Kwantlen programBy Diane Strandberg
The Tri-CiTy NewS
A plan to establish an agricultural lab for students to study sus-tainable farming prac-tices at Colony Farm Regional Park has been put on hold in re-sponse to concerns from the Kwikwetlem First Nation.
In a letter to Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Kwikwetlem Chief Ron
Giesbrecht said activities leading to the program must cease because Colony Farm is part of the Kwikwetlem’s cul-tural and title lands but the band hadn’t been engaged by Metro Vancouver in the plan-ning, licensing or devel-opment of the program.
“The Kwikwetlem First Nation unequivo-cally opposes the de-velopment or imple-m e n t at i o n o f t h e
Kwantlen Polytechnic University Sustainable Agricultural teach-ing and Demonstration L a b o r a t o r y Fa r m at C o l o ny Fa r m ,” Giesbrecht wrote.
Chief Giesbrecht didn’t return calls to The Tri-City News before the print deadline yesterday but a spokesperson for Metro Vancouver said the letter would be reviewed by the Environment and Parks Committee at its
Nov. 14 meeting.Kwantlen had planned
to grow crops at Colony Farm next year as part of its four-year sustain-able agriculture degree program but program head Kent Mullinix said the project is on hold while he waits for Metro Vancouver and the Kwikwetlem band to sort out their differences.
“We’re disappointed but we understand the Kwikwetlem sentiment
and our position is we don’t want to start a farm crosswise with anybody,” Mullinix said.
Approximately two dozen students had en-rolled in the degree pro-gram last year and were to exchange laptops for gloves and shovels and work in the fields as part of their studies.
B e l c a r r a M ayo r Ralph Drew, vice-chair of the Metro Vancouver Aboriginal Relations
Committee, expressed disappointment the pro-gram won’t go ahead. He said Colony Farm isn’t the subject of an ongo-ing land claim by the Kwikwetlem and the program fits in well with the land use.
“Based on the kind of use that we’re talk-ing about, which is a use that is already permitted and going on for decades — i.e., farm use — it’s adding an educational
dimension,” Drew said. “There’s nothing to get excited about.”
This is not the first time the Kwikwetlem have been upset with Metro Vancouver. Excavation to clear out a ditch in the park raised concerns in August because there were no archeological professionals on hand when the digging was done near two known ar-cheological [email protected]
Anmore fee pulled
By Jason RoessleThe Tri-CiTy NewS
Anmore residents will no longer pay an extra fee to use Port Moody rec facilities.
PoMo council voted Oct. 8 to scrap a policy that has seen residents of the village shell out a 110% levy on top of base fees at the recre-ation complex.
A joint recreational task force encompass-ing representatives from Anmore and Port Moody met five times starting in October 2012 to discuss com-bined recreation ac-tivities and potential ways to share costs and revenues. In a report to council ear-lier this year, the task force recommended replacing the levy with an annual $125-per-family membership but, ultimately, council decided to go back to one fee for all visitors.
Partly influencing the decision, according to PoMo Mayor Mike Clay, was the drastic decline in revenue as Anmore residents opted to stop using the rec complex. Some Anmore residents told Clay they believed the fees were vindictive.
He said the risk was that people would stop coming, and they did. Revenue fell from a high of $24,000 to just $7,197 in 2012.
Clay said this is counter-productive to Port Moody’s goal of getting more people through the doors to help pay for the capital costs of the [email protected]

Advance voting starts today in Coquitlam Friday’s Tri-City News will have interviews with the candidates & tricitynews.com will feature them making their case for your votes in one-minute videos.
The $33-million proj-ect, which includes a 136-bed residential care facil-ity for the frail elderly as well as 24 mental health beds, will be built and run by Baltic Properties, which has experience operating residential care facilities elsewhere in the region.
Future residents of the mental health facility may have had problems with substance abuse but Libbiter said the facil-
ity won’t be specifically for people dealing with drugs or alcohol abuse. “It’s not an addictions facility. This is for people living with serious and persistent mental illness who can’t live alone.”
It will be built to meet the needs of older adults, with accessible features and therapeutic pro-grams geared to the in-terests of seniors as well as supports that could po-tentially enable them to return to the [email protected]

I was a Port Coquitlam entrepreneur who was born here. Over my lifetime, I owned and operated a sawmill, a number of tugboats, a lumber yard, and PoCo's first and only roller rink--The Port Palladiu--an early community recreation centre of sorts, but which was mysteriously burned down. Active in all aspects of community life, my family and I also fished on the Fraser River.

‘I was freaking out. I was in a state of shock’
She responded by tell-ing the court that she as-sumed that Sater would be going to the residence of Troy McClure, the man with whom Sater had been drinking, and who she knew lived in the Lougheed Village neigh-bourhood.
“Apparently, I made a bad assumption,” she said.
Sater eventually left the establishment with Lloyd Smith. The two intended to go to Sater’s home in Coquitlam, re-trieve some money and find another bar. Smith previously testified that the pair were return-ing to the Lougheed Highway and North Road area when the col-lision occurred.
Charlene Reaveley, a Port Coquitlam mother of four, and Lorraine Cruz were killed in-stantly in the crash and Cruz’s boyfriend, Paulo Calimbahin, suffered se-rious injuries.
Smith told the court on Thursday that he knew almost immedi-ately that the two women who were struck had been killed.
“I was freaking out,” he said. “I was in a state of shock.”
He later added that “when you are going that fast, the probability of someone surviving that is slim.”
Smith told the court that after the collision, he yelled at Sater to stop the vehicle but he con-tinued driving down the Lougheed Highway, eventually parking in the Cape Horn area.
“I have children,” Sater said repeatedly, accord-ing to Smith. “I have to say ‘bye’ to my children.”
The two parked the car near Sater’s girl-friend’s home. When she did not answer the door, the pair walked to Sater’s brother’s house.
While they were walk-ing, Smith told the court, he could see police of-ficers shutting down Lougheed Highway.
“I wanted to go down there,” he said. “I just wanted to go back.”
“Did you, in fact, go down there?” Crown counsel Christopher McPherson asked him.
“No, I didn’t,” Smith re-sponded.
When the two arrived at the home of Sater’s brother, Leonard, Smith explained what had hap-pened. Eventually, both of them left in separate taxis.
On cross examina-tion, Sater’s lawyer, Tony Serka, made several at-tempts to get Smith to say the crash was un-avoidable.
The prosecution ob-jected each time, noting the witness was not driv-ing the vehicle and was not in a position to an-swer the question.
But Smith noted on several occasions that the incident happened quite quickly. He told the court that he felt safe and secure driving with Sater behind the wheel.

Evergreen Line work may force relocation of event
By Janis WarrenThE Tri-CiTy NEws
The bang may be taken out of Coquitlam’s most popular community event.
Last week, some coun-cillors suggested the cost of the fireworks display for Canada Day is too much given the city’s struggle to secure a per-manent sponsor.
Coun. Brent Asmund-son said the $180,000 price tag for the July 1 event this year was $35,000 over budget de-spite city staff’s efforts to save money.
He said while the fifth annual Canada Day party drew around 60,000 revellers to Town Centre Park, the $20,000 pyrotechnics show by Archangel Fireworks is an expense council has to think hard about as it heads into budget talks this and next month.
The 2014 Canada Day is budgeted at $180,000. “We need to watch our costs and make some tough choices,” Asmundson said.
“It’s a great function,” Coun. Lou Sekora added, “but it just keeps climb-ing.”
The Canada Day event is “about what Coquitlam is and can be,” Coun. Neal Nicholson said, but “I want to get more ag-gressive with sponsor-ship.”
M a y o r R i c h a r d Stewart said he supports the event.
“I had more people comment that it’s the best fireworks they have ever seen,” he said. “This is our future festival. It’s what Coquitlam is today.”
Council made the comments at the Oct. 7 council-in-committee
meeting as city staff pre-sented a five-year report for Canada Day.
Among the recom-mendations was a change in location due
to Evergreen Line con-struction; vendors have also complained about the awkward location at Lafarge Lake.
Staff propose the fes-
tival be held in the north area of Lafarge Lake as well as Town Centre Park’s south field (where the Teddy Bear Picnic is held) and Percy Perry Stadium. If the move is ap-proved, Kathy Reinheimer, Coquitlam’s parks and facilities manager, said council would be required to change its policy on the use of the stadium grounds as only sporting events, the BC Highland Games and Relay for Life are permitted there.
Community services manager Nicholas Najda said a stage could be placed above the stadi-um’s artificial turf field to prevent it from being damaged.
Council also said Town Centre Park needs to have a purpose-built festival site with three major events coming up: Coquitlam’s 125th birthday in 2016; the BC Seniors’ Games the same year; and Canada’s 150th birthday in [email protected]
Setting it straight
Re. “BC Housing says it’s serious about Riverview” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 11).
About 1,085 pa-tients are interred in a cemetery at Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam — not thousands, as reported in last Friday’s Tri-City News. The num-ber was given by Share Services BC to Anna Tremere, a member of the city’s Riverview Lands Advisory Committee.

As the BC Teachers’ Federation executive moseys back to the bar-
gaining table after a summer off, I’m reminded of former educa-tion minister George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union.
It started with a lecture.“In my first meeting with the BCTF, and I
gather this is characteristic of all first meetings with education ministers, the TF advises that, yes, they are a union, but first and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled.
Their buzzword is “social justice,” which is portrayed by leftists as superior to plain old justice, in ways that are seldom defined.
So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned.
Parents may recall the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12. This was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers and the ministry curriculum describes its emphasis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual dif-ferences. That’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by urgently needed anti-bullying and empathy efforts at all grades.
Then there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “racism, homophobia and sex-ism” but also “poverty and globalization.”
The BCTF has a quarterly “Social Justice Newsletter” filled with predictable economic assumptions. Readers of the latest issue are re-minded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view of Canada’s record on human rights, including a right to housing. Undefined “poverty” statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete relative measures.
One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2 and 3 students, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing to the premier asking for a systemic
plan to address child poverty.”Leaving aside whether eight-year-olds can
understand what “systemic” means, this rheto-ric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It rests on the cherished myth that poverty is imposed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.”
And what about that darned “globalization”? The BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its website promoting the claim that Nike is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Third World sweatshops. Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation.
This was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any dif-ferent? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale, old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions.
A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe the federation could check over its teaching unit
on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team. Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers,” it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is an-other protesters’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint.
BCTF bosses love to talk about the impor-tance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided car-icatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite.
They remind me of George Orwell’s clas-sic novel 1984, in which loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate.
Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution.

Teachers’ ‘social justice’ is student indoctrination
Walk this waySchool zones should be quiet oases where children
can walk safely without fear of being tomorrow’s headline. In fact, school zones during morning
drop-off are some of the biggest danger areas, worse than mall parking lots during the Christmas rush.
This past week, school authorities, IWALK, Dash BC, TransLink and ICBC worked on various campaigns to promote more children walking to school during International Walk To School Week. There were free bus tickets to be had and even prizes for students who made their way to school by walking, cycling or using some other form of non-automobile transportation.
It was a feel-good exercise but many kids never walk to school, and a campaign like this doesn’t accomplish that much.
Kids get driven to school every day for a variety of reasons: convenience or lack of time; parents’ fears for their kids’ safety; or because their child attends a pro-gram of choice outside their catchment area.
While it would be nice if more people walked their kids to school or neighbourhood “walking school buses” got kids to school safely, the fact remains cars are still a popular form of transportation and school zones are congested and dangerous.
What’s needed is not prizes for kids but better aware-ness by parents, some of whom take great risks — and put other children at risk — when they drop off their kids.
Sometimes, it’s not even the fault of parents that school zones are dangerous but the fact that these zones are poorly planned because they were built when most kids did walk to school. Now, these drop-offs are holding areas for idling SUVs and are an accident waiting to hap-pen, especially when weather is poor, or stressed parents or distracted children don’t understand the dangers.
School District 43 will be addressing this issue with its new traffic safety committee and parents’ input is requested.
Let’s hope parents will buy in to the idea that they must take some responsibility for the problem and take steps to fix it.

TRI-CITYTRI-CITY LETTERSAt a mall not near you, SELECTIONThe Editor,
Re. “Is cross-border shopping un-Canadian or understandable?” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Sept. 27).
I’m opening a store. It’s for cross-border shoppers.
To make you all feel at ease, here’s what I’m going to do:
• I’m locating it a good 20 miles or more from where you live.
• You’ll have to wait in your car for a minimum of an hour and up to three hours to get in.
• As you pull up to seek permission to enter my store, I’ll have some very disgruntled people ask you some very per-sonal questions (and, really, they are pretty innocuous questions but can be tricky so be careful). Get one wrong, you can’t come back for years.
• If I decide you can’t come in, you’ll have no appeal.
• I’ll give you what you think is a good deal on select merchandise.
• By not collecting or remitting taxes to sup-port your vast variety of current, future or as yet unimagined needs, I’ll keep my massive profits.
• I’ll make it fun for you. It will be in a mall that you think is differ-ent from any other but really is just like thou-sands elsewhere. If you feel like it’s too much like home or a cheap version, just check your GPS. If no GPS, just head to the food court. Or the near-est McDonalds. They’ll be way different.
• After checking your GPS, always tell your-self about how great
the selection is at my store compared to oth-ers. That will make it easier to justify spend-ing your money (es-pecially on bed sheets) here versus stores that do support your medi-care and other worthy programs. Remember: SELECTION. It’s a soothing word, and so satisfying.
• Finally, my store name is the United States of Canadian Shoppers. Opening soon! Peter Bennett, Coquitlam
Coquitlam must hear businessesThe Editor,
Re. “City gets biz honour as it also receives biz criticism” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 9).
How disappointing to read the remarks of Mayor Richard Stewart and Coquitlam coun-cillors after so many businesses addressed them at the budget 2014 town hall. The irony is that Coquitlam won the provincial Open for Business award because they promised to consult small business through a satisfaction survey.
But when businesses come out to a meeting to tell cities they must slow their out-of-control spending to provide some tax relief, apparently they don’t like that message.
Only in the unreal world of local government can top administrators receive 14% raises in one-year and politicians justify it as a wise in-vestment.
Mayor and council promised to meet with small business stakeholders that evening and Coquitlam business owners will hold them to that pledge.Mike Klassen, BC Director, Canadian Federation of Independent Business

P o C o M o Yo u t h Services is changing its name and logo to better reflect its services and its mandate, says executive director Jerome Bouvier. The new name is ACCESS Youth Outreach Services Society, and the new brand will be fully rolled out at a gala fun-draising event Oct. 24 at the Red Robinson Show Theatre.
“We felt it was time for a fresh look and a fresh name because our vision and our strategic plan, and, as an organi-zation moving forward, we want people to know what we do now.”
Bouvier said the name ACCESS was chosen to underscore the organiza-tion’s efforts to be more accessible to youth. The organization’s Project Reach Out bus that cir-culates to various youth hot spots on weekends is now in Langley, as
well as the Tri-Cities, and there are new programs for youth in schools to teach compassion and empathy.
“We’re accessible to the youth, almost ev-erything we do is after hours and we bring ser-vices to the kids,” he said, explaining the reasoning behind the new name. “We’re accessible, that
reflects truly who we are in the way we do things.”
W i t h M i n i s t r y o f C h i l d r e n a n d Development funding last year, the organiza-tion was able to hire two case workers who job-share 35 hours a week to work with youth be-tween 4 and 10 p.m. Bouvier said the extra hours of the two case workers, in addition to the Project Reach Out bus, means the organiza-tion is able to do more to support vulnerable and at risk youth.
Case workers monitor Facebook — 160 youth have “friended” the orga-nization — and connect up with youth who ap-pear to be struggling. They then refer them to school counsellors and other agencies who may be able to help.
“We become the link,” said Bouvier, “We work with MCFD, PLEA and youth workers and schools to help provide support to young people.”
Although the new name is being circulated, the new logo won’t be revealed until Thursday, Oct. 24., when PoCoMo hosts its second annual Evening of Inspiration Gala.
PoCoMo hopes for a sold-out crowd of 250 people and to reach its fundraising goal of $15,000. The event will feature a gourmet meal, auction items, raffle prizes, live performances by local recording artist Sarah K and the Mellado youth hip hop dance group.
There will also be an inspirational speech by Jeremy Pearce of the SFU Clan Football team.
Tickets are $70 for an individual or $525 for a table of eight and can be purchased on the PoCoMo web-site through PayPal or PoCoMo Office: F e r n w o o d L o d g e (Riverview site), [email protected]

The B.C. environment ministry has released its promised study of the current state of crude oil spill response capabil-ity, tracking the growing tonnage of petroleum shipping along the West Coast and estimating response time and effec-tiveness if oil was to spill at sea.
Oil recovery in com-puter simulated oil spills could be as high as 25 per cent after five days, or as low as four per cent for Alaska crude, with another quarter evapo-rating.
The study was com-missioned to back up Premier Christy Clark’s conditions for B.C.’s approval of expanded heavy oil shipments, either from twinning the TransMountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby, or the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway proj-ect across northern B.C. to a new tanker port at Kitimat.
Environment Minister Mary Polak said the study shows the need to increase response capa-bility before the B.C. gov-ernment would consider increased oil shipments.

There will be over-night road closures and parking restrictions on Clarke Street in Port Moody for the next four to six weeks.
A storm sewer instal-lation underneath the westbound HOV lane on Clarke for the Evergreen Line project will see tem-porary night construc-tion between Elgin and Grant streets this week.
Road closures and parking restrictions will happen from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday to Friday. Poor weather could alter the schedule and activi-ties will also be coordi-nated with the city of Port Moody’s work on the Moody Street over-pass.
Local residents can expect noise, includ-ing saw cutting and the use of heavy machin-ery, according to EGRT Construction, the com-pany working on the
Evergreen project.This three-phase proj-
ect will move into the second part starting Oct. 21, when Clarke between Kyle and Grant streets will be closed nightly and motorists will be detoured to St. Johns Street. There will be tem-porary parking bans on the north and south sides of Clarke between Kyle and Grant.
In the third phase, which is expected to begin Oct. 28 if the weather cooperates, Clarke Street between Kyle and Moody streets will be closed nightly and motorists shunted to St. Johns. There will be no parking permit-ted on the north side of Clarke between Mary and Grant. On the south side of Clarke Street, no parking will be permit-ted between Mary and Moody [email protected]

TransLink plans to buy more compressed natu-ral gas (CNG) buses that it shunned for years and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan is questioning whether the reversal is politically motivated.
The transportation au-thority has more than 50 CNG buses, some dating back to the 1990s, but it rejected new purchases for years after concluding they weren’t cost-effective due to high maintenance costs and other problems.
In the mid-2000s, the then-elected TransLink board wavered several times on which fuel type of bus to buy while being
heavily lobbied by duel-ling industry groups.
Corrigan wonders if the private unelected board has embraced CNG to please the provincial gov-ernment as it promotes natural gas exports as a key to B.C.’s future.
“Is this about politics, about provincial govern-ment pressure to ensure that natural gas buses are here because we mar-ket so much natural gas worldwide?” he asked at a Metro Vancouver meeting Oct. 9.
TransLink execu-tive vice-president Bob Paddon said the decision to buy 54 new natural gas buses, using federal gas tax funds, was a staff recommendation, en-
dorsed by the board, not a decision forced down from the board.
He said early CNG buses were “very prob-lematic” but the technol-ogy has improved dra-matically and the much lower price of natural gas today has made it very attractive.
“Right now our assess-ment is the CNGs are a good replacement rather than purchasing new clean diesels.”
Paddon, who chairs the Canadian Urban Transit Association, said several other transit agencies are now looking at CNG.
“There’s just a much stronger business case than it was 10 years ago,” he said.
A 2012 efficiency re-view of TransLink also recommended it expand the CNG fleet in light of better life cycle costs.
Replacing old diesel buses with compressed natural gas will cut par-ticulate and nitrogen oxide emissions by 90% and greenhouse gas emissions by 15%, ac-cording to TransLink.
TransLink also plans over the next three years to buy dozens more diesel-electric hybrids, which Paddon said are ideal in urban traffic where electric trolleys can’t run.
He noted regular die-sels are still also needed for some routes because the advantages of elec-
tric hybrids are lost on long highway runs.
All-electric non-trolley buses are also on the ho-rizon, Paddon said, likely available in as little as three to five years.
TransLink can only refuel natural gas buses at its Port Coquitlam bus depot, but that capabil-ity may be extended to depots in Surrey and Richmond.
BC Ferries is also mov-ing to power some of its ferries by natural gas.
Corrigan contends that running a wide range of buses of different fuel types drives up costs, making CNG an unwise experiment in light of the past problems.
Lanes will be closed

T h e Fr e s h wa t e r Fisheries Society of BC (FFSBC) marked two momentous occasions Tuesday afternoon at Coquitlam’s Lafarge Lake: the organization’s 10th anniversary and the release of its 95 millionth fish.
FFSBC operates five hatcheries and stocks more than 800 B.C. lakes annually in the spring and fall, including Como and Lafarge lakes in Coquitlam, with the lat-ter scheduled to receive about 4,500 fish by the end of the month. The released fish range from five-gram fry up to half-pound trout.
According to FFSBC,
the “stocking program is critical to the province’s recreational fishing sec-tor as it supports 50% of all angling activity on lakes province-wide and as much as 90% in some regions.”
Since 2003, the FFSBC has put 160,000 trout into Lafarge and Como lakes as part of the Fishing in the City program; as well, 5,200 Coquitlam children and families have participated in the society’s Learn to Fish program.
The FFSBC was cre-ated in 2003 as a private, not-for-profit organi-zation, funded largely through freshwater fish-ing licence revenues.
A Coquitlam restau-rant will be dimming the lights and turning up the ambience on Oct. 24 for Power Smart Month.
The Candle l ight Conservation Dinner at The Copper Club, located in the Executive Plaza Hotel, is part of a BC Hydro campaign to get local res-taurants to practise and increase awareness about energy efficiency.
More than 77 restau-rants are participating in the initiative in 11 B.C. communities. Each par-ticipating restaurant will be extending an exclusive discount or special offer for the night. These range from a free appetizer to two-for-one entrées or featured menu items.
To find out more about the Candlelight Conservation Dinner, visit www.bchydro.com. For more on other Power Smart Month specials, visit [email protected]

With words underfoot, learning becomes a game for childrenRetired teacher brings words to the playground
By Diane StrandbergThe TRi-CiTy NewS
On a cool, crisp fall day, when the leaves on the
trees in Mountain View’s school courtyard were the colour of ripe pears and ready to drop, some Grade 3 and 4 students scampered through a concrete breezeway on their way into class.
Some of the boys and girls at the Coquitlam el-ementary school jumped on to a maze of mixed up letters painted on the ground and started following them from A to Z while still others stood on a spelling game and tested one another’s knowledge of 120 of the most commonly mis-spelled words in the English language.
Some mysterious ini-tiation into playground culture? In a way, yes, says literacy game devel-oper Peter Stainton.
The retired School District 43 educator wants to change the way children and teachers think about literacy and play by bringing the two concepts together in an outdoor playground.
“Some of the kids who go to school spend over 20% of their time at school on the play-ground,” Stainton said, “so if you can put games out into the culture of the playground and, if it hits them appropriately in the sweet spot develop-mentally, they’ll engage.”
As an educator who has studied curriculum development and taught at-risk and vulnerable students, Stainton under-stands well what it takes to teach children to read.
Many learn best when they are moving their bodies or socializing in a relaxed environment.
At the same time, the playground is a vastly under-utilized space for learning, he said. Schools have acres of concrete and sometimes the only game you see is an old-
fashioned hopscotch.Stainton has devel-
oped several different
games that he sells on-line through his business, Literacy Playground
(www.literacyplay-ground.com). The game stencils include a verb
trail, where children hop onto words such as “laugh” and “dance” and
do the actions; and a va-riety of rhyming squares, where children learn spelling and vocabulary by identifying word “families” (words that sound similar but are spelled differently and have different meanings), as well as the alphabet and spelling games.
So far, the games have been piloted at Mountain View and another school in Delta that Stainton is working with and the re-sponse has been positive, he said.
“You can add balls and things and bean bags,” he said. “It doesn’t take anything, you just move your body.”
The games can be used for co-operative play as well as to chal-lenge students, and the stencils are available in French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch.
Principal Marsha Arnold said she appreci-ated Stainton’s volunteer efforts — he also reads to the children in his spare time — and his church, Coquitlam Presbyterian, has adopted Mountain View and helped it beau-tify the courtyard.
“Peter has really stepped up and he un-derstands the principles of play,” Arnold said.
As for the children who hopped through the mazes, skipped along the verb trail and tested one another’s spelling, they had fun without realizing they were also learning something.
“Even the admission that playgrounds can be used for educational pur-poses, if that’s all it ac-complishes, and if it be-comes part of the culture of the playground and something they engage in and want to be part of,” Stainton said, then he has accomplished his [email protected]
Peter Stainton is a retired School District 43 educa-tor and owner of Literacy Playground. He and his church have worked with Coquitlam’s Mountain View elementary school on its playground.

Reading teen fic-tion isn’t just for teenagers
anymore. Twilight and The Hunger Games were bestsellers and the explosion of great books means that there are lots more to choose from.
And it’s not all vam-pires and bleak futures. There’s something for everyone, from serious realistic fiction dealing with complicated issues to fast, fun romance. And, of course, there are still lots of dystopias, vampires, paranormal romance and zombies.
In Every Day by David Levithan, we meet A, waking up on a typical day in a very untypical life. Every morning, A wakes up in a new body and lives the life of the person for one day. The next morning, it starts all over again. A quickly fig-ures out as much about the person as possible and just gets through the day before moving onto the next person. But one morning, A wakes up as Justin and meets Rhiannon, Justin’s girl-friend. They have a per-fect day together, which makes A realize what’s been missing. But how can A spend time with Rhiannon if A wakes up as a different person each day? A’s search for love and a true sense of self is an engaging story that you won’t want to put down.
Carnegie award-win-ner Patrick Ness creates an original and exciting dystopia with the Chaos
Walking series. In the first book, The Knife of Never Letting Go, we meet Todd, the last boy in Prentisstown, a set-tler town on the New World. During a war, a germ was released that killed all of the women in town. This same germ also brought the Noise. Now, everyone can hear each other’s thoughts all the time — there is no such thing as silence. Or, at least, this is what Todd has been taught. One day, Todd finds a small area of silence, where there is no Noise.
This discovery sets off him off on a dangerous adventure during which he learns the real history of the New World and Prentisstown.
Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a brilliant novel that won the National Book Award. Junior, a 14-year-old living on the Spokane Indian reser-vation, has a hard time fitting in. After getting suspended, he decides to go to the high school in town, where everyone is white. In making this
decision, he faces racism in his new school and anger from his commu-nity at what is perceived as his betrayal. Alexie’s novel, which contains great illustrations by Ellen Forney, exposes social injustice while telling both a funny and heartbreaking story.
Gene Luen Yang’s excellent, award-winning graphic novel, American Born Chinese, also tackles issues of racism and belonging in high school. Yang presents three narratives, telling the Monkey King legend,
along with the stories of two boys, Jin and Danny, both trying to fit in and having girl trouble in American high schools. As the novel progresses, the narratives become intertwined and come to-gether as the characters present their true selves.
For those of you who can’t get enough of dystopia, there are still more great titles to read. The Dust Lands trilogy by Moira Young and the Triskelia trilogy by Carrie Mac both cre-ate intriguing worlds. Watch out for Allegiant,
being released in late October, the third book in Veronica Roth’s Divergent series. And check out Melanie Lu’s Legend series, with the latest book, Champion, coming out in November.
Come to the library to find these books and make sure to ask library staff for more sugges-tions for great reads.
A Good Read is a col-umn by Tri-City librar-ians that is published
every Wednesday. Karen Sharkey works at Port
Moody Pubic Library.

Imagine a group of strangers sitting around a campfire,
listening and watching, silent and unmoving, as you spin a terrifying tale, knitting its loath-some strands together one by one as the firelight flickers about your face.
This is the effect — the atmosphere — Coquitlam and Port Moody public librar-ies want you to create with your submissions for their annual Scary Story Contest for young people, spon-sored by The Tri-City News.
So indulge your sto-rytelling skills, evoke unsettling details, dis-turb the judges. Make them believe your story is not just a story. Make their skin crawl!
As in years past,
entries are welcome in two age categories: 11 to 14 years and 15 to 18 years. The rules are:
• Only residents of Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Anmore and Belcarra can sub-mit stories.
• Stories must be e-mailed — as a Word attachment and/or as text inside the body of the e-mail — to [email protected] no later than Sunday, Oct. 20 (submissions sent later than Oct. 20 will not be considered).
• Stories can be no longer than 500 words (the title does not count towards the total).
• Each story must include the following words: sepulchral, fathomless and un-nerving.
• Writers must in-clude their name, age, city of residence and phone number with their entries.
• Each entry must be entirely original, written only by the au-thor whose name is in-cluded with the entry.
Winners in each age category will receive prizes valued at: $75, $50 and $25 for first-, second- and third-place winners respec-tively.
And some winning entries will be pub-lished in The Tri-City News on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
The annual Scary Story Contest is a partnership between Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and The Tri-City News.
Scare us, please!2 houses haunted to help out Variety Ayers, Ciarniello haunted houses open on Friday
Trick or treat time is just around the corner and Coquitlam has some spooky fun to offer.
Residents Vickie Ayers and David Ciarniello have spent weeks set-ting up haunted house displays at their respec-tive homes, with pro-ceeds from both events benefiting Variety — The Children’s Charity.
With the help of friends and family, Ciarniello has spent years collecting and building dozens of props, which include a num-ber of technically com-plicated animatronics. And when Ken McLean
of Halloween Alley on North Road heard that David was fundraising for Variety, he opened his doors and told him to borrow whatever he needed for the display.
If your little ones are a bit too small for serious spookiness, take them to Ayers’ family friendly Halloween haunted house. For 15 years, she has entertained visitors with her spectacular dis-play, with all proceeds donated to the children’s charity.
A long-time Variety supporter, Ayers fund-raises all year and makes an annual appearance on the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon with her signature “money heart.” Last year, her Haunted House raised more than $7,000 for children who
have special needs, and her goal this year is to top that number.
Both haunted houses are open daily from Friday, Oct. 18 through Halloween, Thursday, Oct. 31. Other details:
• Ciarniello’s display is located at 1838 Haversley Ave., Coquitlam and is open daily from 6 to 9 p.m. Entrance is by dona-tion and there is candy for children.
• Ayers’ haunted house is located at 443 Draycott St., Coquitlam and is open daily from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Entrance is by donation and there is candy for kids. The site is wheelchair accessible and if you bring your re-cyclables, she will add your bottles and cans to her fundraising bottle drive.
To market to help
The Port Moody Farmer’s Market is wrapping up the sum-mer season with a fundraiser.
Every Friday in October, the market is serving a hot dinner to market attendees, with proceeds going to the Share Family and Communi ty Services food bank.
For $7, market-go-ers get a hot entrée, a side dish, a fresh salad and dessert — all provided by mar-ket vendors. There will also be chef’s demonstrations as well as musical enter-tainment.
The Port Moody Farmer’s Market runs until the end of the month on Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m. at the PoMo rec complex, 300 Ioco Rd. For more information, visit makebakegrow.com.

A wing, prayer for fine arts
Two Tri-City residents have taken up prominent roles on the local arts scene.
Port Coquitlam’s Adrian Walker, a painter and photographer, was named last week as the city’s first artist-in-residence at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village.
Walker will create in a studio space at the Gathering Place until December as part of the new program that sees artists-in-resi-dence rotate every three months.
Walker’s work will exhibited from Oct. 30 to Dec. 1, 2014. To see him in action, go to the Gathering Place (behind PoCo city hall) from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays, except Thursdays (to apply for a residency for next year’s intake, email [email protected]).
Meanwhile, Port Moody resident Gregory Elgstrand is the new visual arts manager at the Evergreen Cultural Centre.
Elgstrand, a Centennial secondary school grad and former arts consultant, will take over from Astrid Heyerdahl, who left the
Coquitlam arts hub last month for a job in North Vancouver.
Trained at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, SFU and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Elgstrand was previously a director at YYZ Artists’ Outlet
in Toronto and curator at the Art Gallery of Calgary. He was also a director at the Truck Centre for Contemporary Art in Calgary, AB, and co-ordinator at the Struts Gallery in
Sackville, N.B.Elgstrand is also the founder of Bohart, a
non-profit society that aims to build a con-temporary arts centre in the Tri-Cities, simi-lar in style to Winnipeg’s Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art Gallery, Toronto’s The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery or the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, England. His hope is to have cu-rated displays, performances and film screenings from local, regional, national and international artists.

For the opening of the new fine arts wing at Port Coquitlam’s Archbishop Carney regional sec-ondary last month, the school put on a show to
remember.Father Patrick Chisholm, the episcopal vicar for
Catholic schools, was accompanied by a dozen priests for a blessing that included sprinkling of holy water inside the new facility. His words and actions could be seen on a screen by the 300-plus people in the adjoin-ing gymnasium — thanks to camera on Chisholm.
There were also speeches (including from the city’s mayor, Greg Moore, past principal Peter Dawe and the superintendent of Catholic independent schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese), a prayer service, a con-cert (with students and alumni singing and playing music) and, of course, an official ribbon cutting.
And afterward, participants feasted on a cake that was designed to look like a model of the new fine arts wing. “It was such a wonderful event,” principal Lorraine Paruzzolo said during a tour of the building.
The smell of fresh paint is still prominent and staff like Evelyn Young, the fine arts department head, and choir master Emmanuella Triveri are in awe with their 6,200-sq. ft. accessible digs that replaced a cramped, double-wide portable.
Now, there is room to store equipment and instru-ments plus practice areas, a media arts computer place and enough space to hang their awards from festivals around North America. There are also state-of-the-art technology and projectors for teachers to lead the 200-plus music students in Grades 8 to 12 (about 40% of the student body is in at least one fine arts class at Carney).
Best of all, said Triveri, the rooms are sound-proof so she can conduct her choirs upstairs without hear-ing the bands play below.
Paruzzolo also is proud to point out the new fine arts annex came in “on time and on budget” — not an easy feat for a construction project. Conception and fundraising started a decade ago, she said, with the community raising the necessary $2.1 million to build the wing. Over the years, special collections have been taken at regional feeder Catholic parishes and schools and annual galas have been held to get the structure built.
Paruzzolo said the current push is to raise money for on-going costs such as sheet music, instruments and other furnishings. A legacy wall is up to recog-nize donors on a bronze, silver or gold “note” level.

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 ($6.99) a large bowl ($7.99) or All You Can Eat ($11.99). The All You Can Eat includes soup, salad and rice.
At dinner, (after 4:30 pm) All You Can Eat is$12.99, 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 $7.99)or a large bowl 9.99).
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.

Manage stress naturallyimprove energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings
Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess stress overloads our adrenal glands symptoms can include: fatigue,
insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.
The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement.
AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.
The Original AdrenaSense Formula: The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as provide vital energy.

First exhibit for ex-animatorBy Janis Warren
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Patti Munro learns the most from her mis-takes — or, as she calls them, “oopses.”
The former animation artist will be three-quarters done with her artwork when she’ll place it on the wall for a few weeks to test its strength.
If the Port Moody artist likes what she sees, she’ll carry on and finish it. But if it drives her crazy, the piece will come down and something will come off or more will go on.
Typically, her assemblages will go through three or four cycles before they are ready for viewing. “It’s layer after layer after layer,” Munro said with a laugh, adding, “I’ve got a busy household and something will
inevitably land on the canvas. It may stay there or it may give a whole new meaning to what I’m creating.”
This month, Munro will show 25 new paintings and installations in her first ever public display. The exhibit, which opens to-morrow (Thursday) at the Port Moody Arts Centre, is called Mad Imperfekshen and will be up in the facility’s Main and Plum galler-ies until Nov. 7.
Returning to the arts scene is something Munro has wanted for years. In the 1990s, she worked for Walt Disney Canada but later took time out to raise her family. In 2011, Munro got back into the groove and, last year, had an article and photos pub-lished in Cloth Paper Scissors, a magazine geared to mixed-media artists.
For Mad Imperfekshen, most of Munro’s
pieces use materials such as acrylics, tissue, paper mache and glass.
And, she said, unlike other artists, she doesn’t have a problem letting them go in the end. That want to part ways with her work stems from her childhood, when she drew on a chalkboard.
“I was happy to erase it and move on,” Munro said. “Although I love all my pieces, I know there’s a lot more to do.”
• Also opening on Thursday is a glass sculpture exhibit titled Ignite the Passion by twins Leslie Rowe-Israelson and Melanie Rowe. The public reception runs from 6 to 8 p.m. at PMAC (2425 St. John’s St.). The art-ists will be in attendance and light refresh-ments will be served. For more information, call 604-931-2008 or visit pomoarts.ca.
Grants up for grabs
Artists and arts, culture and heri-tage groups in Port Coquitlam have until the end of the month to apply for a city grant.
The city recently extended its ap-plication date for its Community C u l t u r a l D e v e l o p m e n t I n v e s t m e n t Program from Sept. 30 to Oct. 30.
Grants will be awarded to indi-viduals and orga-nizations in PoCo — or those that have a regional or national mandate that includes PoCo — who are creating a new or sustaining arts- or culture-re-lated project.
Applications can be found at portco-quitlam.ca. Email forms to [email protected].

The Coquitlam Express lost 3-1 to the Langley Rivermen during a BCHL game on Friday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. The Express bounced back with a solid performance Saturday night against the Merritt Centennials at the Nicola Valley Arena.
Express split weekend & miss first place in divisionClub edges Merritt but can’t best league-leading Langley Rivermen
By Gary McKennaThe TRi-CiTy News
T h e C o q u i t l a m Express had a chance to take first place in the BCHL’s Mainland Division Friday night.
U n f o r t u n a t e l y , Langley Rivermen goalie Steve Myland had other ideas.
The 19-year-old net-minder turned away 31
o f t h e 32 shots he faced a t t h e P o i r i e r S p o r t s a n d L e i s u r e Complex,
including a barrage of chances early in the first period.
But Coquitlam was only able to solve the Myland once with a power play goal from Bo Pieper midway through the second period that was assisted by Matthew Berry-Lamontagna.
Pieper’s goal made it
1-1 after Langley drew first blood in the open-ing frame w i t h a p o w e r play goal
of their own netted by Austin Azurdia.
The Express were un-able to sustain the of-fensive pressure they ex-erted in the first half of the game, slowing down in the third period and giving Langley a chance to take the lead.
The Rivermen capi-talized with a goal from
Kevan Kilistoff as-sisted by Charlie Pelnik. Nathan Craft made it 3-1 with two minutes left in the game and the Express were unable to notch their second of the night.
Gordie Defiel had a solid game between the pipes for Coquitlam, stopping 25 of the 28 shots he faced, includ-ing several good Langley chances midway through the second.
The Express did not have much time to dwell on Friday night’s loss.
Cents struggle to put up points against rivals
The Terry Fox Ravens emerged vic-torious in the battle for Tri-City AAA high school football suprem-acy.
Fox took on cross-town r iva l s the Centennial Centaurs Friday night at Percy Perry Stadium, dealing the Coquitlam club its second loss of the regu-
lar season.Centennial took
an early lead, scoring the first touchdown of the game, and ap-peared poised for a solid match against the PoCo club.
However, the Ravens managed to get on the board with a pair of touchdowns from Mike West to make it 16-6 in the second quarter. Both teams found the end zone one more time before the half to make it 23-12 going
into the third quarter.Centennial’s scor-
ing dried up in the late stages of the game and the team was unable to put another point on the board for the rest of the match.
That gave the Ravens an opportunity to extend their lead and they eventually took the match 36-12, keeping their unbeaten streak intact this regu-lar season.

Express defeat Merritt Centennials On Saturday, the
club travelled north to the Nicola Valley Arena where they took on the struggling Merritt Centennials.
Coquitlam wasted little time establishing
a lead, scoring a pair of goals in the first period, including an unassisted marker by Cody Boyd.
Cannon Pieper made it 3-1 in the second pe-riod after the Cents man-aged a power play goal and Adam Rockwood finished off the home
team with an empty net-ter with one second left in the game.
Defiel had another solid game in net for Coquitlam, stopping 37 of 39 shots to receive first-star honours, while teammate Daniell Lange was named second star
for his one-goal perfor-mance.
Coquitlam will take on the Surrey Eagles tonight at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. Puck drops at 7 p.m. For more informa-tion go to www.coquitla-mexpress.com.

The Centennial Centaurs were no match for cross-town rivals the Terry Fox Ravens, who bested the AAA high school football club 36-12 at Percy Perry Stadium on Saturday night.
Ravens second in leagueThe Ravens were
equally dominant when the club took on W.J. Mouat last week.
After a scoreless first quarter, Fox’s special teams managed a touch-down after a blocked
field goal was scooped up by Isaiah Stevens, who raced 75 yards to make it 6-0.
That score was fol-lowed up by a 43-yard run by quarterback Connor McKee, who ex-tended the team’s lead to 14-0 before W.J. Mouat
cut the lead in half with a touchdown of their own.
A field goal in the sec-ond half made it 17-7 and a solid goal-line stand by the Ravens midway through the fourth quar-ter allowed the team to hang on for the victory.
Terry Fox will take
on St. Thomas More at Percy Perry Stadium on Friday at 7 p.m. while the Centennial Centaurs are expected to play W.J. Mouat in Abbotsford on Saturday. For more in-formation go to www.bchighschoolfootball.com.
