GARY MCKENNA/thE tRi-CitY NEwSBonnie Norquay, a resident of Pipeline Road in Coquitlam, is concerned a zoning change proposed for a property next to the Coquitlam River could pave the way for more industrial activity there. But the property’s owner says suggestions a cement plant could be placed there is a “red herring.”

Allard boss says no plans for new cement facility on PipelineGaRy MCKennaThe Tri-CiTy News

A group of Pipeline Road residents fear that zoning changes to a nearby prop-erty could pave the way for cement operations on the Coquitlam River, a notion adamantly denied by the gravel and concrete opera-tor who owns the land.

Bedrock Granite Services Ltd., a stone-cutting busi-ness, has been located on the east side of Pipeline since 1986 on land that is leased to the company by Allard Contractors Ltd. A few years ago, it was discov-ered that Bedrock is not in compliance with current city zoning bylaws, which stipulates the company can only cut stones extracted from the land on which the business sits.

Now, the city is working to amend the zoning bylaw to bring the company into compliance.

But language in a staff report stating the changes would allow for the “man-ufacturing of… concrete products” has neighbours

up in arms. “[Bedrock] doesn’t do

cement products,” said Bonnie Norquay, whose family has lived up the road from the property for 47 years. “If it was strictly Bedrock behind this, why include the cement?”

She and several of her neighbours, including Jeannie Dmytronetz and Ingrid Heldt, fear that Allard Contractors may have its eye on the property for future gravel and ce-ment production. If that is the case, Norquay said, it would put a major in-dustry on the shore of the Coquitlam River.

Jim Allard, vice-presi-dent of Allard Contractors, called residents’ assertions that a ready-mix plant could be located on the Bedrock site “a fairy tale.”

In order to put cement operations at 1875 Pipeline Rd., he said, the land would have to be re-zoned to M4 industrial from its current A3 agricultural, a change that is not likely to hap-pen given the property’s proximity to the Coquitlam River.

“That is an absolute red herring,” he said. “There is no way you could put a ready-mix plant there with-out rezoning the land.”

Institute says province low-balls wait timesJeff naGelBlaCk Press

A new report by the Fraser Institute criticizes long waits for surgery in B.C. and accuses the prov-ince of routinely underes-timating the wait times it

publishes on its website.B.C. patients wait an

average of five months for medically necessary elec-tive surgery, according to the annual report by the think tank. It shows the average patient waits 9.5 weeks once referred by a GP until they see a special-ist and then another 11.6 weeks from the specialist appointment to surgery.

Under the hood, a class just for girlsTRI-CITY SCHOOLS

Sarah PayneThe Tri-CiTy News

It used to be that high school shop classes were an unspoken

guys-only zone but a new class at Riverside second-ary is giving girls a more welcoming chance to look under the hood.

Shop teacher Jordan Wycherley has been at the Port Coquitlam school for two years and quickly noticed his auto mechanic classes were stacked with male students plus, at best, a couple of female students.

He suggested a different strategy and posted the Women’s Auto class at the start of the year — and it quickly filled up.

“I had talked to a lot of girls who said they wanted to do it but they felt in-timidated,” Wycherley told The Tri-City News. “They wanted to learn basic car maintenance, be able to take their car into a shop and know what they’re talking about and feel safe driving on their own — and if something happens, how to fix their own car.”

Two months into the new

class, Wycherley said many of the Women’s Auto stu-dents are asking for a senior automotive option in future years. “They seem to be re-ally enjoying it,” he said.

Student Sam Hemphill wanted to know enough about cars “to not get

screwed over when I go into a shop,” she said while cleaning the grease off a differential.

And after being the only girl in her industrial design class three years ago, she jumped at the chance to get her hands dirty in mechan-

ics without having the spot-light on her as a member of a female minority.

“For girls, it’s intimidat-ing to go into a shop class full of guys,” said student Destiny Ryan, also scrub-bing away on the differen-tial. “You don’t want to be

judged if you don’t know an answer or if you get some-thing wrong.”

A girl who joins a shop class of all, or nearly all, male students, is under tremen-dous pressure, Ryan added. “You’re expected to be really smart at it or really stupid.”

Wycherley said the students in Women’s Auto have shown a keen inter-est in learning the material right from the start.

“They’re eager to absorb the knowledge, they ask more questions,” he said. “They want to know the why, not just the how.”

One student has already put her newfound car repair know-how to work, fixing her mom’s van and discovering a potentially dangerous problem in the process.

“We were driving and it started making a lot of noise,

so I asked her if something was wrong with the oil and she said it was empty,” said student Yara Amara. She then brought the van into the class and changed the oil, and during a routine check on the tires found one that was dangerously loose.

“Any time we were driv-ing, the thing could have fallen off,” Amara said, grin-ning proudly, and adding, “I like this class because it’s one of the few classes at school where you get to use it in real life.”

RIVERSIDE IS GOOD FOR WOODRiverside secondary’s wood shop is set for materi-

als for another three or four years thanks to a signifi-cant donation from Port Moody’s Mill and Timber.

The sawmill donated six lifts of rough-cut cedar and Douglas fir to the school, with PoCo Building Supplies, another decades-old local business, step-ping in to deliver the wood.

Teacher Jordan Wycherley said the wood will be used by the school’s junior classes learning joinery and construction while senior classes will use it for furniture building and other projects.

“The budget doesn’t really allow us to buy a lot of materials,” Wycherley said, “so this donation means a huge amount.”

The wait to see the spe-cialist was unchanged in 2014 from 2013 but the wait from specialist to surgery increased slightly from 10.4 weeks a year ago, according to the report.

And the overall wait of 21.1 weeks has more than doubled since 1993.

The study examined a wide range of procedures and averaged the wait times.

Orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery and plastic surgery had the longest wait times nationally, while medical or radiation oncol-ogy had average waits of four weeks or less because cancer patients get high priority.

Fraser Institute econo-mist and report lead author Bacchus Barua said the wait times for treatment are “unacceptably high” despite high levels of health care spending. The findings also show B.C. patients are now waiting longer than they did two years ago for various diagnostic proce-dures.

MRI waits have risen most dramatically, from 12 weeks in 2012 to 20 weeks this year — the longest in Canada — while CT scan and ultrasound waits both rose from four to five weeks over the same period.

B.C.’s health ministry publishes estimated wait times on its website but the report argues those num-bers are “inaccurate.”

It says the 11.1-week wait time claimed by the ministry for orthopedic

surgery as of this spring is mathematically impossible given the number of pa-tients waiting in B.C. then and how fast surgeries were being done, suggesting the real wait would be 16 to 24 weeks longer.

“Specialty by specialty, month in and month out, the median wait figures reported by the ministry remain consistently, and surprisingly, lower than expected given the number of patients waiting and the number of procedures can reasonably be expected to be performed per week.”

The disparity between the government’s wait times and Fraser Health’s estimates is in part because the province only counts the wait for surgery as be-ginning when the hospital receives the operating room booking.

The Fraser Institute says that method understates the actual wait because some hospitals only take bookings a few months ahead — wiping longer waits off the official statis-tics — and excludes any delay between the decision to treat a patient and the formal booking.

Health ministry spokes-person Kristy Anderson said the Fraser Institute survey is based on personal opinion rather than hard clinical data because it re-

lies on surveys of doctors.“We do recognize

the challenge,” she said. “Despite increasing the number of surgeries and diagnostic exams, B.C. is facing unprecedented demand for health care ser-vices — putting pressure on our wait lists.”

B.C.’s total surgical wait is above the national average of 18.2 weeks, according to the study.

Patients wait as little as 14 weeks in Saskatchewan and Ontario, but more than 30 weeks in the

Maritime provinces.Barua said potential

models for wait time reform include other countries with univer-sal health care systems such as Switzerland, the Netherlands and Australia that also offer a parallel private system catering to those who can pay extra.

“Simply putting some-one on a list is not the same as providing necessary medical care in a timely manner.”

Buildings are in disrepair at IocoSarah PayneThe Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody council has tasked the city’s heritage groups with finding a way to preserve the buildings on the Ioco townsite but that wasn’t enough for the president of the heritage society.

In a letter sent to council after Tuesday’s meeting, Robert Simons said he was “dismayed that no specific direction was given to have the city engage more force-fully with the property own-ers to have them meet the conditions” of the bylaw that stipulates maintenance responsibilities for the Ioco site.

The bylaw was adopted in July 2002, when Ioco was designated as a heritage conservation area (HCA). The bylaw stipulates that the property owner is re-sponsible for maintaining the property — the site includes four community buildings and 13 residential buildings — to prevent damage from the elements and to ensure buildings are in good repair.

“It is clear from physical evidence at three principal heritage buildings — Ioco School, Ioco Community Hall and Ioco Community Store — that the standards of maintenance... have not been complied with,” Simons wrote, adding the same likely also applies to the residential buildings.

And while Simons com-mended council for engag-ing the heritage commis-sion and the Port Moody Heritage Society, he said the city also needs to “have

the property owners obey Bylaw 2490... as continued discussion without action will not stop the continued decay of these heritage properties.”

A staff report detailed the maintenance Devon Estates, the real estate arm of Imperial Oil, had undertaken to date, which consisted mainly of placing tarps over the roofs. When crews attempted to stabilize and waterproof two build-ings in summer 2011, the costs skyrocketed due to hazardous materials reme-diation, structural upgrades and the need for total roof replacements.

In June 2012, Imperial Oil submitted an alterna-tive stabilization strategy to the city; a year later it completed “extensive tarp-ing work” on 10 buildings, which continues to be monitored.

Simons and Jim Millar, the Port Moody Museum’s executive director, said more needs to be done, noting roofs are decompos-ing and the buildings have fallen into significant dis-repair. “We should all take our due diligence to protect and maintain this heritage,” Simons said.

The Port Moody

Heritage Society board will be meeting on Dec. 17 to begin formulating a plan,

Costs include planning for Evergreen LineSarah PayneThe Tri-CiTy News

The Port Moody Police Department is asking for a 2015 budget hike of just over $240,000, an increase of 3.87% from 2014.

Chief Const. Chris Rattenbury and police board member Robert Simons presented the $9.7-million financial plan at Tuesday’s PoMo council meeting, noting several new initiatives are in the works for 2015.

These include the cre-ation of a mental health officer position at a cost of $110,442, a new flex team to assist with high demand areas of policing, increased community engagement and plans for integration of the Evergreen Line.

In an email, Rattenbury said the PMPD is working with researchers at SFU to determine what effect the Evergreen Line will have on the city and the infor-mation gleaned will be used to assist the police in making plans to manage it by developing an effective working relationship with Transit Police and deter-mining what resources to allocate along the line, including, perhaps, police stations at Moody’s two Evergreen stops.

Another $16,500 is being requested for re-cruiting costs, which are expected to jump next year due to higher-than-usual turnover.

“It’s a bit of an anomaly for 2015 — this is due to several retirements,” Rattenbury wrote, noting the department usually sees one retirement per year but there will be three next year. “And we have recently had some members leave here and go to work for other municipal [police depart-ments], hence our re-cruiting costs will go up.”

Also included in the financial plan are new capital projects proposed for 2015.

Replacing the security doors in the nine-year-old PMPD building is slated to cost $25,000 in each of the next three years. According to the report to council, the existing locks are costly to repair and replacement keys can take more than two months to arrive

while the new system promises to improve security and provide an audit trail of door access.

Other proposed proj-ects include:

• $20,000 for new furni-ture (workstations, desks, chairs);

• $18,075 for anti-slip flooring in cells;

• $22,500 for Ethos police recruitment exam (would align with other municipal police depart-ments);

• and $5,500 for radar equipment for traffic en-forcement.

Simons said the de-partment is forecasting a potential decrease in traf-fic fine revenue in 2015, which could further affect the budget.

Asked by Coun. Zoe Royer whether there were plans to move the city’s emergency dispatch to E-Comm headquarters in Vancouver, Simons and Rattenbury said a recent review didn’t result in enough information to make a decision.

“We’ve brought in the CUPE union, the police services union and man-agement. We’ll collabo-rate and see what ideas we can come up with” be-ginning in the new year, Rattenbury added.

Mayor Mike Clay said the police budget will be referred to the city budget process for the new coun-cil to review early in 2015.

Rental housing proves pricey in the Tri-Cities

HOUSING IN THE TRI-CITIES

Many pay too much relative to their incomeGaRy MCKennaThe Tri-CiTy News

A large number of households in the Tri-Cities are spending more than 30% — and as high as 50% — of their income on rent, according to data recently released by the BC Non Profit Housing Association (BCNPHA).

In Coquitlam, for exam-ple, 48% of the city’s 11,575 renters pay above the 30% income threshold, a mea-sure the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation uses to determine afford-ability. In the same city, where the average monthly cost of rent and utilities is $1,035, 26% of residents put more than half of their in-come toward housing.

The numbers are slightly better in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody but still troubling, according to Tony Roy, the executive director of BCNPHA.

“Minimum-wage folks are people we deal with every day,” he said. “If they make minimum wage... to

make $20,000 a year and they have to pay a thousand a month for rent, that only leaves them with $600 for every other expense.”

In PoCo, the average cost of rent and utilities is $1,037. For 44% of the city’s 4,515 renters, that amount is more than 30% of their annual income while 21% of PoCo renters are paying more than half their in-come for lodging.

Port Moody, which has the highest average rent and utility costs in the Tri-Cities

— $1,218 — 41% of the 2,910 renters are above the 30% threshold while another 18% spend more than half their annual income on housing.

Most Metro Vancouver residents know that hous-ing affordability is an issue throughout the region but Roy said a new index cre-ated by the BCNPHA shows just how problematic the situation has become. The organization hopes to add to the data and maintain an online map (www.rent-alhousingindex.ca), which

allows visitors to the site to compare different parts of the province.

For housing advocates like Roy, the solution to the housing affordability issue is fairly straightforward: more homes and more variation on the types of structures that are being built. Smaller units should be just as available as high-end homes, he said, spreading out the types of housing and sizes.

“If you make $19,000 or less a year, you are pay-ing over $1,000 in rent,” he added. “If you make in the $40,000 to $70,000 range, you are also spending the same amount in rent. It doesn’t matter that you have less money, the rents are the same for each in-come bracket.”

Roy said that for years, the federal government has been paying the mort-gages on co-op housing units — including 60,000 in British Columbia. As the properties are paid off, BCNPHA is encouraging the government to keep the same amount of funding for the program to improve existing social housing and to expand the program.

Roadblocks startSAFE ROADS

Police in the Tri-Cities will be stepping up road enforcement to make sure holiday revellers who have over-imbibed don’t put themselves and others in danger.

Today (Friday), ICBC and police were scheduled to launch the December CounterAttack campaign, aimed at taking drivers off the road if they’ve drunk too much alcohol. Police will be out in force throughout the month looking for impaired drivers as drunk driving remains one of the top three contributing factors for fatal car crashes in B.C.

Although drunk driving laws are tougher, people still

fail to plan a safe drive home and Christmas isn’t the only period where drink-ing and driving can be a problem. This past summer, more than 60 people were caught in Coquitlam RCMP CounterAttack road checks.

But there may be some indication that the anti-drunk-driving message is

getting through.In December 2013, 31

impaired drivers were taken off the road in the Tri-Cities, a decrease of 46 from December 2012 and significantly lower than the 131 arrested in the same month in [email protected]

search is on for...?

A call picked up by a ham radio operator sent dozens of Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteers to Burke Mountain overnight Wednesday looking for a missing dirt biker who was possibly injured.

The emergency call was made using a walkie-talkie-style de-vice and the individual didn’t have a phone or didn’t provide a phone number in his original communications.

He did provide a name, which when verified with the help of Coquitlam RCMP and social media, turned out to be someone who was at home safe and sound.

Coyle said the team was working with the RCMP to possibly identify the individual who made the call and direction-finding equip-ment was also being brought to the search area to see if it’s possible to pinpoint where the report was made.

“We have to take it seriously and we have to respond the same way we do to anything else,” he said.

The original call sug-gested the individual was in the area of the Port Coquitlam and District Hunting and Fishing Club at the end of Harper Road in Coquitlam.

Donor fatigue means charities must be focusedOnce again, the contributions and generosity

of businesses and individuals supporting the crossroads hospice society’s annual treasures

of christmas fundraiser demonstrates the deep commit-ment our community has to support worthwhile projects. We at crossroads hospice are truly grateful for this. but this year in particular brought home a growing concern.

Perhaps it is the coincidence of a packed season of fun-draisers in combination with the municipal elections and the financial contribution requests from candidates.

maybe it is that a tipping point has been reached.What is increasingly evident is the large and growing

number of fundraising activities in our community — per-haps to the point of overwhelming the generosity of donors.

this is in no way a comment on the worthiness or merits of the causes; rather, it is a call to recognize a trend that can lead to increased anxiety for fundraisers and donors alike.

reflecting on the competing interests within our com-munity of 225,000, it is pretty well conceded that we are a giving community. Judging by the variety and number of events ranging from walking, hiking, running, biking, din-ing, auctioning (online and real-time), letter writing, quiz-zing, dancing and drinking, there is no shortage of creativ-

ity when it comes to fundraising. One can even purchase virtual tickets and stay home.

all requests are framed and presented for good causes and the causes are diverse and growing. but there are ques-tions that should be considered, such as: how much more can our community support? is there more asking? if so, why? Whose responsibility is it to support the causes? are we in fact enabling offloading of the financial burden that used to be covered through taxation? is this it for 2014?

no, it is not. nipping at our heels on dec. 2 is another com-mendable endeavour on behalf of all canadian charities. crossroads and other local charities are in the mix for Giving tuesday, described at givingtuesdaychallenge.com as “the day when all of canada shifts the focus from shopping to giving back. On Giving tuesday and throughout december, charities, companies and individuals join together to share commit-ments, rally for favourite causes and think about others.”

yikes, let’s hope we haven’t achieved saturation yet.individuals face an array of donor and volunteer oppor-

tunities. decisions are based on personal preferences, pri-orities and resources. it seems that more often than before, people must say “no” as the number of asks increase.

but how about businesses? talking to the owner of a

small, local restaurant recently, i was told that it receives nearly 100 requests a month.

in the value proposition presented to local businesses, who are you going to support? how will businesses make their corporately responsible decisions?

i have posed a lot of questions here and the answers are not easily discernible. but one thing is certain: donor fa-tigue is a real concern for all of us who work in non-profits that rely on donor vibrancy. at crossroads hospice, we count on those who have benefited from our services to support us. We also depend upon corporate and business sponsorships. We support end-of-life care but we under-stand that there are many needs to be met along the way to end of life.

it is time that many of us take a good long look at our services and how we fund them with an eye to long-term sustainability. i think we can make a decision to be part of the solution. Our asking should be measured and mindful. Our focus must be acute, our services targeted and effec-tive, and our administration lean.

We all share the responsibility for our community’s well being. We must be careful not to overwhelm the over-whelming generosity in our community.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION?

ADRIAN RAESIDE

GIVING IN THE TRI-CITIES

A bottom lineif seattle can do it, can b.c.?

Our southern neighbour’s experiment in creating a living wage for the population has received some sup-

port here in b.c., with the bc Federation of labour cam-paigning for a $15 minimum hourly wage.

there is much to commend such a boost — it’s expen-sive to live in b.c. and someone making $15 an hour as a full-time wage would be better able to provide for them-selves. but is this a realistic expectation?

most of b.c.’s employers are small businesses that are unlikely to be able to afford a nearly 30% jump in wage costs. Ontario, which has an $11-an-hour minimum wage, the highest in canada, can potentially sustain this incre-mental increase with a larger manufacturing sector.

here in b.c., such an unprecedented hike without a cor-responding increase in economic output would be stifling. in cases where the market prevails, employers are likely to pay more than the $10.25 minimum wage, and where companies can only afford the minimum, there is much incentive for workers to get trained for something more life-sustaining.

Salmon must be protectedTHE ENVIRONMENT

The Editor,I’d like to thank the Hyde

Creek Watershed Society streamkeepers for welcom-ing the community to their wonderful open house Nov. 16.

The many environmen-tal societies and the corpo-rations they invited to par-ticipate provided displays, activities and educational opportunities to inform people of local areas of ecological concern, and the importance of maintaining habitat for native and en-dangered species.

In addition, I would like to tell people of the amaz-ing feat of both coho and chum salmon that spawn in Hyde Creek. Some of these fish will actually swim several kilometres and more than 500 vertical feet up Burke Mountain to the west end of Highland Drive

(cross street at the little fire hall on Coast Meridian). While I have witnessed them at this point, other people report they swim up even further. While it is

a short swim, it’s a steady, steep swim for fish against a fairly strong current.

The fact that the salmon will swim that high up Burke Mountain empha-

sizes how important it is that we do everything we can to ensure Hyde Creek continues to be viable, healthy salmon habitat.

It is under threat from the activities of develop-ment. There have been several failures of erosion and sediment control while building and landscaping is underway.

If citizens see muddy, turbid water flowing down the street or in the creeks, it is important to report it to the municipal public works so that its source can be investigated. It’s imperative that Hyde Creek’s gravel stream beds remain clear of clay particulate so as to not suffocate the salmon eggs deposited there.

These fish belong not only to us but must be here for future generations.Janet Klopp, Coquitlam

The Editor,Re. “Chevron $ up for the

taking in Tri-Cities” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 21).

Congratulations to the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association for coming out against Chevron’s Fuel Your School program.

While the Surrey school board and School District 43 have taken money, Vancouver School Board has said “No.” All schools and school boards should give the Chevron offer a thumbs down.

Replacing provincial funding with a few bucks

from the under-taxed, re-cord profits of a huge multi-national is no way to run out schools.

Our premier and provin-cial government may want to slough off their responsi-bilities to fund education by letting corporations throw a few bucks into the system now and then, but what the BC Liberals should be doing is taxing those same corporations at a fair rate, which would ensure full funding of education for generations to come. Barrie Abbott,Port Coquitlam

The Editor,I want to thank The Tri-City News and your staff

for the excellent coverage of the civic election.I am a relatively new resident of Port Moody and

have taken an active interest in the issues facing our community as articulated in the course of this elec-tion. Unfortunately, I’ve been “grounded” by a bro-ken ankle and was, therefore, unable to get to any of the all-candidates meetings.

Your stories plus the work by Geoff Scott of Tri-Cities Community Television in preparing the short videos for so many candidates was extremely help-ful to me as I prepared to vote for the first time here. Thank you, good job!Dawn M. Ross, Port Moody

157 spots in planned Suter Brook daycareSarah PayneThe Tri-CiTy News

Landing a daycare spot in Port Moody should be a bit easier once the new Suter Brook office building goes up because its entire second floor will be the home of Kids & Co.

At Tuesday’s meeting, council approved the rezoning application and land use contract amend-ments for the office tower at 220 Brew St. to allow for the 157-spot daycare — but with some reservations.

“This is going to be an office building and there will be lots of people going in and out and traffic is going to be an issue at the

end of the day,” said Coun. Rick Glumac. “I want to be sure what we’re putting in place here is the most ap-propriate traffic plan look-ing forward.”

Concerns about parking, traffic congestion and chil-dren’s safety had dogged the application since it first came up for council consideration in July. Onni Development went back to the drawing board, task-ing Diamond Parking with stepping up enforcement in the cramped village and hiring a traffic consultant to re-jig the parkade en-trances at Morrissey Road and Brew Street, and sub-mitted a new application.

Many of the people who spoke at Tuesday’s public hearing were still not satis-fied, however.

“Congestion in the few streets is overwhelm-ing,” said one Suter Brook

resident, complaining that streets are often jammed with delivery and mainte-nance trucks, moving vans and garbage trucks because the parkade ceilings are too low to accommodate them. “When it gets so congested, people will stop doing busi-ness here.”

Others questioned the appeal of a “big-box daycare” with no grassy space for kids to play on. (Kids will use the 6,000 sq. ft. deck, with a rubberized surface, for outdoor play.)

One resident also noted too much attention had been paid to the Morrissey entrance, not the Brew Street parkade entrance

that would be used by most daycare parents.

A representative of Creative Transportation Services, which drew up plans for improving the flow of traffic in and out of the parkade, said the proposed solution took into account both entrances.

“We’re trying to improve the overall underground parkade,” he said of the plans, which will largely shift traffic flow to one way in a circular path.

Coun. Diana Dilworth pointed out the nearly 30 written submissions in sup-port of the application and said it was up to council to provide a much-needed

service for parents in an area where many young families live.

Coun. Bob Elliott, in the last council meeting of his 12-year run at the PoMo table, voted against the amendments out of con-cern for children’s safety in the high-traffic area. Coun. Rosemary Small and Gerry Nuttall, both of whom were defeated in the Nov. 15 civic election, did not attend the meeting.

The proposal passed with Mayor Mike Clay and councillors Dilworth, Glumac and Zoe Royer supporting it.

‘MO’ STANDS FOR MONEY IN POCO

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWSThe mission of firefighters with Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services this past month has been to raise awareness about men’s health, promote cancer screening and raise money for prostate cancer research — in addition to growing awesome fa-cial hair and providing emergency services. The group of firefighters, including Adam Myles, Ryan Masi and Kirk Paterson, as well as Jeff Hayward of Orrange Kitchen-Bar (centre back), which held a fundraiser for the cause, has raised about $15,000 and was tops in Canada for all fire departments. If you would like to help PoCo smoke-eaters stay on top, you can donate online at moteam.co/port-coquitlam-fire-department.

Replacing the siding on the Westhill community centre is proving more costly than expected.

Last month, council approved a project tender for $375,000 to replace the wood siding with HardiPlank on the mid-1970s-era building, based on earlier test-ing to determine the level of damage.

But when the contractor began removing the sid-ing, workers discovered areas with significant water damage to the wall studs, insulation and drywall. Repairing it has also required an asbestos-abatement process, a staff report notes. The additional work is estimated at $112,879, to be funded from money re-maining in the facility capital projects budget.

PROJECT COST RISES

Port Moody has rejected School District 43’s plans for eligible school sites in the city, saying it doesn’t properly reflect anticipated growth.

The district’s 10-year growth plan flagged 854 new dwelling units in Port Moody and, throughout the district, an increase of about 275 new school-age students.

Coun. Rick Glumac said

the plan was based on PoMo’s old official com-munity plan but “if we have this school sites proposal endorsed by our council, it seems we’re accepting this incorrect information, which I can’t do.”

A city staff report notes that the district passed its school site proposal in September, before PoMo council adopted the new OCP. Staff will be updating

the growth projections for SD43 next summer.

Council agreed to reject the school sites proposal and will meet with the dis-trict to discuss the matter.

Coquitlam passed the district’s plan earlier this week, with council asking for more clarity on where new schools will be built on Burke Mountain.

Coordinator at 604-949-2274 or [email protected]

He noted that his com-pany will be spending $1 million to $2 million to construct a building that will mitigate noise from the Bedrock site, something neighbours have also com-plained about.

If council does not ap-prove the zoning changes, Allard said it could have ramifications for all of the businesses on Pipeline Road. For example, his company produces ce-ment made from material trucked in from other properties, something that may not be allowed under the current zoning rules, he said.

“If we could only manu-facture concrete from the material at that site, nobody would ever be allowed to do anything,” he said, add-ing that the “legal cases are all over the map.”

Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s manager of development services, confirmed that the changes before council would not allow for concrete produc-tion at 1875 Pipeline Rd. The language in the staff report only means that Bedrock can cut pieces of concrete manufactured on outside properties, he said.

Asked about a business not complying with zoning over a number of years,

he said in the past, local government had little au-thority over mines, which were regulated under the provincial Mining Act. Over the years, however, a series of legal interpretations and court decisions have allowed cities to narrow the scope of what types of activities can occur on properties where resource extraction is taking place.

McIntyre said it is likely the zoning changes were made to the Bedrock prop-erty without anyone realiz-ing the company would be

in non-compliance. “These things evolve

over time,” he said. “We don’t go out actively look-ing for non-compliance. Something may be operat-ing under the radar. Then, when the complaints come in, the city is duty-bound to deal with it.”

A public hearing on the zoning amendment is scheduled to take place in council chambers at Coquitlam city hall on Monday, Dec. 15 at 7 p.m.


Legal cases ‘all over the map’BUSINESS & THE ENVIRONMENT

DRY FLOOR SPORT FACILITY TO OPEN

Construction on the Poirier Dry Floor Facility in Coquitlam is expected to wrap up next week follow-ing the completion of some paving and curbing work.

The project was scheduled to open last month but issues over the paving contract created delays. As a result, the contract was re-tendered, pushing back the completion timeline to December.

Last week, city staff said the $3.9-million, 23,000-sq. ft. facility will be completed in time for the 34th annual Coquitlam Christmas craft fair, which is tak-ing place Dec. 5 to 7 at nearby Dogwood Pavilion.

The main parking area around Dogwood will re-main open, according to city staff, but access to the parking lot will be re-routed. There will also be addi-tional signage and fencing to redirect motorists.

Meanwhile, the south entrance to the Centennial Pavilion will be closed, which means visitors will have to access the site by the north and east entrances.

The Poirier Dry Floor Facility is expected to be a multipurpose building used for lacrosse, ball hockey and soccer.

For more information, go to www.coquitlam.ca. For booking after the facility is complete, email [email protected].

NEW COUNCILLORSResidents and businesses in Coquitlam are invited

to attend the city’s inaugural council meeting on Monday, Dec. 1, at 7 p.m.

The event will take place in city hall council cham-bers (3000 Guildford Way), where the new council will be introduced before taking the oath of office.

For residents who cannot attend in person, the meeting can be viewed online at www.coquitlam.ca/webcasts.

Still plenty to eat at local marketMARKETS IN THE TRI-CITIES

December is just days away and I am wondering where

the year went.With the winter weather

upon us, shopping at farm-ers’ market can be a chal-lenge — but it is worth the extra effort. As always, local business is getting your support and food security is getting a boost with every dollar you choose to spend at a farmers’ market.

In case you are wonder-ing if there is still anything to purchase, let me assure you that the abundance is still impressive. The variety might not be as great for fresh produce but there are plenty of other options.

Root vegetables are the obvious choice. Potatoes, beets, turnips and carrots are plentiful. There is also plenty of kale, which can be used in many different ways. I put it in my smooth-ies every morning, puree it in my spaghetti sauce and use it fresh in my salads.

Seasoning kale cor-rectly is key to enjoying it. Strong flavours such as sesame, soy and chili are most complementary with

kale. Lemon and oils tend to reduce the flavour of kale. Freezing kale makes it sweeter, so this would be an awesome time to pur-chase it after all the freezing weather we had.

Apples are delicious and there is still a wide variety available. Snowy Mountain Organics will be at the Port Moody Market every Sunday, so be sure to stock up. They will have several va-rieties as well as some pears.

If you really want to ben-efit from apples, grab a bottle of Walter’s organic apple cider vinegar. The health benefits from a shot of vin-egar every day are almost too numerous to mention. Its an-tibiotic properties can soothe an upset stomach or ease a sore throat. A stuffy nose is opened up by drinking a glass of water mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar. It can help lower cholesterol and may even help with weight

loss — the stuff is amazing.Squash is another fa-

vourite of mine. There are so many ways to prepare it. Roasted, stuffed, pureed, the list is long. At the very least, you can puree it and stir it into macaroni and cheese to hide it.

From a health perspec-tive, most winter squash is chock full of goodness. A one-cup serving provides half your day’s supply of Vitamin A, 25% of your

Vitamin C, 23% of your daily fibre requirement, and measurable amounts of more than 10 vitamins and minerals. Not bad.

I’m going to leave you with a couple of recipes. One is a go-to for salmon, the other I just made the other day and it is destined to be a repeat dish. I hope you enjoy them.

MAPLE SOY MARINATED SALMON1 c soy sauce1 ¼ cups maple syrup¼ c freshly squeezed orange juice2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice1 tbsp minced fresh garlic1 tsp minced fresh ginger4 x 6 oz wild salmon fillet, skin on2 tbsp butter

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, immerse salmon, cover and refrigerate for 12 hours, or overnight.

Heat butter in an ovenproof sauté pan. Place mari-nated fillet flesh side down into hot pan and sear for about 2 minutes or until browned. Turn and transfer pan to 400 degree oven and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until fish flakes easily. It should be firm and not too dry.

Serve with 5-Spice Apple Chutney (recipe below) 5-SPICE APPLE CHUTNEY

2 apples, peeled cored and cut into small cubes½ small onion, diced2 tbsp raisins2 tbsp apple cider vinegar½ to 1 tsp Chinese 5-spice powder

Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer until apples and onions are soft.

HARVEST PASTA BAKE1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed1 c diced cauliflower1 sliced red onion2 Tbsp olive oil1 tsp dried thyme

Combine all of the above and roast in a 400 F oven until lightly browned and squash is easily pierced with a fork.

Meanwhile, cook 4 cups tubular pasta such as penne or elbow macaroni, set aside.

While vegetables are roasting, prepare sauce:4 tbsp butter or olive oil2 tbsp flour2 c milk1 tsp mustard1 tsp Worcestershire sauce2 c shredded gouda cheese, divided

Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in flour and cook until browned, being careful not to burn. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly so as not form lumps. When all the milk has been added, continue cooking so sauce thick-ens. You can add more milk if need be as you don’t want the sauce to be too thick. Stir in mustard, Worcestershire sauce and 1 cup cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add cooked pasta and mix. Gently stir in roasted veg-etables, being careful not to mash the squash too much. Pour into a greased casserole dish, top with remaining cheese, and bake uncovered 30 minutes.

Safety Tip:Almost four in 10 respondents to an ICBC survey feel less confi dent driving in winter. Staying off the road can sometimes be a less stressful and safer option. Instead, take public transit, get a ride with a friend or

family member who is a confi dent driver, or take a taxi.

Question of the WeekThis week’s ICBC tip recommends that people who feel nervous driving in poor winter conditions should take the bus or call a cab. How bad would it have to be for you to park the car?

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Getting your kicks on Route 66Riding the highway west along Route 66 for around 4,000 kilometres is on many people’s bucket lists.After completing the epic journey from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, I must say there were times during the 56 hours, 36 minutes of driving that I figured it might be the last item on my list!On the Nissan Altimate Rogue Trip we saw the spectacular in spades. And when the dozen journalist participants pulled up at the end of the road by the Santa Monica Pier, we shared a great sense of achievement. We all knew each other from new vehicle launch-es around the world, but this was different. This hardened, cynical bunch developed a greater camaraderie along the way and some even hugged as we gazed at the lapping waters of the Pacific.We climbed aboard the 2015 model Nissan Rogue crossovers and Altima sedans one very chilly Chicago Sunday and set out to retrace the route of this historic highway, which was decom-missioned in 1985, and replaced by the I-40 freeway. Actually, routes – plural – would be more accurate as the road, which carried hundreds of thousands seeking prosperity out west, has followed a number of paths since the late 1920s. The Mother road, as it is known, carried us through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and finally California. For most of us, it was an adventure musically inspired by many versions of the song “Get your kicks on Route 66”.

I recall watching the TV show Route 66 in the 1960s but today tens of thousands are drawn each year to the highway by the 2006 animated movie Cars. The movie action takes place on the route, many of the fictitious locations are based on actual places, and real people inspired some of the characters.Space limitations permit just a sampling here of what we saw and did along the way. However, you can find a complete report of the journey, gallery of photographs, vid-eo links and how the vehicles fared as long-distance transportation at drivewaybc.ca. Our first contemporary culture reference came on the first day in Joliet, Illinois, where we were treated to action figures of the Blues Brothers dancing above a building close to where some of the movie action took place at the local penitentiary. The Bluesmobile was also on view, sitting atop a pole. The early part of the

route features many giant-sized statues of historic figures, such as Abe Lincoln, and not so historic figures promoting various products.Local communities have funded the restoration of many old service stations and many have a classic

car parked on the forecourt. I thought we would have the first crash of the trip when the first Rogue Altima, or maybe Altimate Rogue (referring to the

drivers, of course), screeched to a halt at the curb in Galena, Kansas. There at the front of the service station was the ‘real’ Tow Tater truck, on which the Cars’ character Tow Mater was based.On the way to Amarillo, Texas, we pulled into the U-Drop Inn – a building that is the exact replica of Ramone’s Body Art Shop in the movie. I guess that could be the other

way round.The next day, some of the group spray-painted messages (that’s the tradition) on the Cadillac Ranch art installation of ten Cadillacs, sunk nose first into the red dirt. Seen from a distance they bore an

uncanny resemblance to the Cadillac Mountain Range from, you guessed it, Cars.The semi-desert from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Williams, Arizona offered stunning vistas and yet another movie reference. The rooms

of the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook are concrete teepees. (Cozy Cone Motel in Cars.). Side trips to the Petrified Forest and Grand Canyon National Parks left us all in awe and stunning views soon filled our camera memory sticks. The gold rush town of Oatman gave us an excellent send off for our last day though the Mojave Desert and down into Los Angeles.

‘‘On the Nissan Altimate Rogue Trip we saw the spectacular in spades. And when the dozen journalist participants pulled up at the end of the road by the Santa Monica Pier, we shared a great sense of achievement.’’Keith Morgan

What’s Better than sunshine, lollipops & rainbows?

OUR BLOG . . . seriously. Check it out blog.blackpress4good.comShowcasing heartfelt community stories from around the province.

Los Angeles, Cal.The 2014 Los Angeles International Auto Show debuted some brilliant ve-hicles that will (and won’t) be coming to the streets near you.Whether it’s an all-new sedan/coupe, a car that will take you from point A to B, or a vehicle that was de-signed for the virtual world, the Golden State’s auto show had all of the above and more. Here’s a look at what the North American manufacturers have been up to in the last while.Cadillac ATS-V Coupe and Sedan: The long anticipated “V” series of ATS sedan and coupe is just around the corner. When Cadillac’s ATS hit the streets two years ago, it not only impressed the journalistic community, but buyers alike. It even earned the title of the 2013 North American Car of the Year, and rightfully so.Now the ATS comes with more potency, more per-formance, and a lot more of everything. The ATS-V will introduce class-leading twin-turbocharged power

and a comprehensive suite of design and performance systems when production begins in spring 2015. Under its carbon fibre hood – a standard feature on all ATS-V models – is a newly developed 3.6L, V6 with an impressive 455 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque. The well–endowed engine can then be matched with either a 6-speed manual (yay, a manual!) or a paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission featuring launch control and Perfor-mance Algorithm Shift.It looks beautiful and I can’t wait to get behind its wheel. The crowd was also assured they wouldn’t be disappointed. I am counting the minutes.Ford Explorer: The 2016 Ford Explorer was intro-duced at 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show to an excited

crowd. With a fresh look, a newly available 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder engine (expected to deliver approximately 270 hp and at least 300 lb.-ft. of torque, an increase of 13 per cent and 11 per cent, respec-tively, over the 2.0-litre EcoBoost), and an all-new, range-topping Platinum se-

ries, this SUV keeps getting better.It improves on many differ-ent levels.For example, for the first time, a four-cylinder Explorer will be available with Ford’s intelligent four-wheel-drive system and will be able to tow up to 3,000 pounds (1,361 kg),

outperforming the current Explorer equipped with 2.0-litre EcoBoost four-cyl-inder.Furthermore, this sixth generation SUV – which has been selling for over 25 years and is available in over 100 markets world-wide – will come equipped with ability to park itself, if you happen to select the Platinum edition.The system helps the driver parallel park or perpen-dicular park using ultra-sonic sensors and electric power-assisted steering. Park-out assist uses sensors to assist in pulling out of parallel parking spots. All you have to do is control the throttle and brake.Ford Shelby GT350

Mustang: A friend of mine named her daughter Shelby. Yes, after the Mustang. She likes cars, too.Aside from it being an icon of North American culture, it also represents how engineers continue to push the envelope in regards to engine development.The GT350 is powered by a unique, high-revving flat-plane crankshaft 5.2-litre V8 engine that will produce more than 500 hp – the most powerful naturally aspirated Ford production engine ever.No turbochargers neces-sary!The Shelby GT350 Mustang is the latest in an all-new line of Mustang fastback and convertible models,

including the specially designed 50th Anniversary Edition Mustang.Fun fact, more than 9.2 million Mustangs have been sold since the car’s 1964 debut.Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo: As a kid, I would envision myself as a cartoon/video game character. Maybe it’s because I often become so animated. Okay, bad joke, but it’s sometimes nice to see make-believe come to life.The Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept is a car that was designed for the virtual world, and for young ones, or the young at heart to play with in the comfort of their living room.As cool as the Chev Chap-arral concept is, I am not sure I’d really love to drive a car that I sit head first in – think of the Olympic sport – the skeleton! And mid-mounted laser, beamed-energy propulsion system might take some getting used to. But heck, it’s worth a go!

Not all the action took place on the floor of the Los Angeles auto show.At a mansion, high in the ritzy Hollywood Hills neighbourhood, Lincoln hosted a classy special event to launch its Black Label edition vehicles for the well-to-do.Black Label vehicles will come fitted with one of four designer-inspired interiors that will feature ultra-posh Venetian leathers, Ziricote wood and Alcantara suede. Buyers also select from an exclusive array of exterior paints and custom colours and the vehicle will come with unique trim and lighting elements that will identify it as Black Label. “These are our busiest customers and we’ve got to deliver a very unique and personalized product that can reflect the innermost passions of our customers,” said Lee Jelenic, Lincoln Marketing Manager (and a native of Sudbury, Ontario). “It has to go well beyond the product and provide membership privileges that fit where they are and around their time.”The top five per cent of existing Lincoln customers are expected to move up to Black Label, according to Jelenic. And he expects about two-thirds of Black

Label customers will be conquests from other luxury brands. “It’s not exclusive to our most expensive products” he added “and will be offered on the entire product line and through selected dealers in major metropolitan areas, who meet internally set criteria.” A separate Black Label salon will be added to the selected Lincoln dealers in the program, but a buyer may never actually need to go to a dealership. A Black Label liaison representative, from the dealer, will go to the customer, at their office, home, to show them the materials, themes in the package and arrange a test drive. If legal to do so in a particular jurisdiction, even the sale contract can also be finalized, without going into the dealership. In addition to the unique buying experience, an owner also receives a number of perks, such as a better warranty that includes wearable part replacement. They also get

unlimited free car washes, a free once-a-year detailing and a concierge-style dealer pick-up, drop-off plus a free loaner vehicle when the vehicle goes in for service.Black Label homes, like the one I visited in Hollywood, will feature the design themes and materials used in the vehicles and more will be set up in Dallas, Miami, New York and Mich-igan. In Canada, the Black Label cities are expected to be Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. Lincoln also wants to link Black Label to a cultural or prominent

event of some kind, within each city.Initially, Black Label will only be available on two Lincoln products, the new MKC (compact crossover) and the MKZ sedan, and it comes with about a $6,000 (US) price premium. The plan is eventually to have a Black Label edition of every Lincoln, as all-new vehicles are added to the product line. A Canadian version of Black Label (similar to the US) is expected to be launched about this time next year. [email protected]

Black Label for those with a taste for Lincoln

by Bob McHugh

Regardless, the concept was developed as part of the Vision Gran Turismo project, which celebrates the future of automotive design and innovation. Gamers can race the Chap-arral 2X VGT this Christmas season by downloading an online update for Gran Turismo 6.Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Concept: I can’t count how many times I’ve encountered a concept and wished upon shooting stars for it to become a produc-tion vehicle. Well, perhaps, this one might (fingers crossed) come true. After all, a few components of the all-new midsized Colorado are coming to life. We just have to wait a little while for it.One of those magical parts is the 2.8L Duramax diesel, which is expected to be outfitted in the truck some-

time in 2015 for the 2016 model year.That diesel packs an esti-mated 181 hp at 3,400 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm for your towing pleasure.The 2.8L Duramax diesel is part of a new, global family of turbo-diesel four-cylinder engines designed to deliver more-efficient capability. When looking at it, well, it’s not your ordinary truck.The Colorado ZR2 wears a concept Cyprus Green exterior color, with Henna Orange accents and custom ZR2 identification on the rear fenders, tailgate and grille.Not to mention a sizeable set of off-road ready tires; a set of 275/65R18 off-road rubbers mounted on custom 18-inch aluminum multi-spoke, bead-lock-style wheels.

GVHBA: Keeping families warm this winter

Ledingham McAllister gives the gift of saving this seasonSometimes the best gift s are the ones

that can’t fi t under the tree. From now until December 18, buy-

ers are able to save up to $10,000 off their new home purchase at any one of the Ledingham McAllister communi-ties.

Th ere will be a box available to draw from containing “Christmas Crackers,” that enclose a voucher revealing the

savings. When a new home purchase is fi nal-

ized, the savings will be applied against the balance owing for the home’s purchasers.

Senior Vice President, Marketing and Design of Ledingham McAllister, Manuela Mirecki, says that this is a new promotion in reaction to the fact that in the last couple of years they experi-

enced a surprising number of people purchasing homes in the days leading up to the holidays.

“Most communities for sale wind down their sales program at this time of year, so we thought it would be a fantastic opportunity for our future home owners.”

Th ere are seven beautiful and diverse developments with the perfect

price-point to suit any lifestyle: Aviara, Dominion, Charland, Radius, Storybook, Saltaire, and Waterscapes. Th e developments’ locations span from Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Whiterock, Vancouver and Kelowna.

“Th is is the time of year that people are oft en placing their focus on friends, family and loved ones in the comfort of their own homes; oft en people are want-ing to nest, to settle in to the coziness and security of their own home,” says Mirecki. “Given that Led-Mac has a number of move-in ready communities, we wanted to make it easier for people to make their decision to purchaser sooner than later so that they can celebrate the Holidays in their brand new home.”

For a full list of housing details, an overview of all the

new home communities and the loca-tions of their sales centres and display suites (open daily except Fridays from noon to 5 p.m.) visit their website: www.ledmac.com

Th at time of year is upon us; when tempera-tures drop, the snow falls and presents are bought to put beneath the Christmas tree. For many however, now begins the time of worry – how will I keep my family warm this winter? Or, how I can I make the holidays special for my children? For 19 years, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau has been helping families in need answer those questions and feel the warmth of not only a coat, but the love of the community. Th e Coats for Kids campaign allows GVHBA members to volunteer the use of their store front locations so that their employees and the public can donate gently used winter coats and mittens for kids and teenagers. 45 member companies at 61 locations in 13 mu-nicipalities will serve as coat drop-off sites from November 24 to December 4.CEO with GVHBA, Bob de Wit says that the number of donations has soared off the charts from several dozen in the early years to several thousand last year. “It’s amazing to see the impact - families literally are transformed, not just by the warm apparel but by the spirit of giving that these donations embody,” he says. “Th e fi rst time I visited the Lower Mainland Christ-mas Bureau’s warehouse, I thought I had stumbled into Santa’s workshop! Th e scale of the eff ort and the buzz of energy there really hit it home for me about the deep need we’re fi lling in the Metro Vancouver region.”He recalls a year when a young family had just moved to Canada from a tropical coun-try. Th ey were severely unprepared for their fi rst Canadian winter, armed with only light jackets for the plummeting temperatures. GVHBA asked if TQ Construction could somehow assist this family, to which TQ’s president and owner, Helene Belisle, imme-diately accepted. Warm winter jackets were quickly supplied for the whole family, and TQ’s Offi ce Manager, Kim Boer, even added

a scarf and gloves set for the mother – a little extra gift from one mother to another. “By the end of the day, the young fam-ily was bundled up in their new jackets,” says de Wit. “Th ey were able to feel the generos-ity from their community and ready for their fi rst winter in their new home country.”Parents are oft en looking aft er their children to make sure they properly dressed for the cold, but when it comes to teens, they are frequently more diffi cult to clothe.

Th is year’s theme is “Zippers Zipping But-tons Buttoning and Hoodies for Teens,” and

focuses on a demographic who are just as interested in how they look as how warm they feel. Th e solution? Donate an item that is perfectly comfortable without compromising style –

the almighty “Hoodie.” “And buttons buttoning and zippers zipping, that is just

our way to make sure what is passed on is gently used,” says de

Wit, “because no one wants get a great coat

that doesn’t zip up.”Th is year the GVHBA isn’t just collecting coats; they are also looking for other quality clothing, blankets, mittens, hats and new toys. With Christmas right around the cor-ner, de Wit says that new toys are especially welcome. “Th is winter season, take the opportunity to pass along those coats your kids have out-grown,” he says. “It is a simple way to warm one’s heart, and with all the GVHBA mem-ber drop-off locations, giving is eff ortless.”For a full list of participating GVHBA loca-tions and times visit: www.gvhba.org

But when the Coquitlam resident discusses her ca-reer highlights, she is most proud of being one of the early pioneers for a pro-gram that has grown into one of the country’s great-est sports success stories.

“I think the legacy for all of us is that the program is so successful now,” she said. “We were all part of

that. We sacrificed for this game… There is such pride in seeing the team today and seeing what they have accomplished.”

Donnelly, who was inducted into the Soccer

Hall of Fame last week, said Canada’s program was nowhere near as evolved as it is today when she joined up in 1986.

The team, which was

made up of players chosen from their provincial squad, had only been practising together for about 10 days before their first interna-tional event against the U.S.

Despite a seven-hour bus ride from Winnipeg to Minnesota, Canada came out strong against the home squad.

Donnelly made his-tory in the match when she scored the club’s first goal. Later in the game she added a second in the 2-1 victory.

“A lot of people focus on those goals,” she said. “At the time, we just wanted to win.”

It would not be the only time that Donnelly had suc-cess on the international stage.

She scored three times

against the USSR in 1990 and notched another goal against Jamaica in 1994.

The next year, she com-peted in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Sweden, add-ing to her point tally with markers against England and Nigeria.

But Donnelly believes that women’s soccer really began to make strides fol-lowing the 1999 World Cup in the U.S.

“In 1995 in Sweden, it wasn’t well attended,” she said. “[The U.S. in 1999] felt like an international event. You felt like after that, the game was going to explode and it did.”

Today, the program has more funding and there are more resources available to the players. The team is currently ranked eighth in

the world, in the mix with soccer powerhouses like the United States, England and Brazil.

“They’ve really started to realize that the women can be successful,” she said. “Let’s try and give them as many resources as we can.”

Donnelly said she was surprised when she got word that she would be inducted to the Soccer Hall of Fame. She was recently honoured as part of the 2014 induction class, along with names like Carmine Marcantino, Isabelle Morneau and another Coquitlam athlete, Chris Bennett.

“Nobody ever expects it,” she said. “It came as a total surprise.”

She scored two goals in the squad’s first ever in-ternational competition against the U.S. in 1986 and competed in the 1995 and 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup. She has also won several national championships with the Coquitlam Strikers and Surrey United. This month, the Coquitlam resident was inducted into the Soccer Hall of Fame.

MORE LOSSES FOR CATS BY GARY MCKENNATHE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Port Moody Panthers will be looking to break a two-game losing skid when the Delta Icehawks come to town on Saturday.

The Pacific Junior Hockey League club posted back-to-back losses and can’t seem to put together a string of wins to help themselves out of the division standings basement.

On Friday, Richmond drew first blood in a 3-1 win, when Matthew Bissett buried a pass from Daniel Oakley on the power play in the first period. Penalties cost the Panthers again in the second, when the Sockeyes got goals from Troy Kaczynski and Oakley, both with the man advantage.

The only marker the Cats could notch came at the four min-ute mark of the third period, when Adam Rota scored on a pass from Derian White.

It was the same story on Saturday night for the Port Moody squad.

After a scoreless first period, Mission found a way to solve Panthers net minder Spencer Kozlowski, pumping in two quick goals midway through the second. Jamie Housch made it 3-0 for the visitors two minutes before the second intermission.

The Outlaws added to their lead in the final frame, with Port Moody’s lone goal coming with 30 sec-onds left in the match.

When the buzzer sounded, the Cats were down 5-1.

““We sacri-ficed for this game... There is such pride in seeing the team today and seeing what they have accom-plished.”

FEMALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:MAGGY SPENCE

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD KAOSThis past weekend the CMFSC Under 16 Metro-Selects Kaos

defeated the Port Moody Dynamite 5-1 in Girls Metro League action. Leading the defense as she has all year was Maggy Spence who

plays the key role of centre back. She is a tireless player on the fi eld and has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment and

positive attitude. Maggy is focused during games and practices and is always a supportive teammate. For her strong and consistent

performances and leading by example, Maggy Spence has been named Coquitlam Metro-Ford Female Player of the Week.

MALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:JAD CHEIKH-NAJJARINE COQUITLAM METRO-FORD DIABLOSJad Chikh-Najjarine of the CMFSC Under 16 Division 3 Diablos’ tenacious play game in and game out this year has created opportunities for all his teammates. His recent hard work in midfi eld has resulted in the current three game unbeaten streak, the Diablos are enjoying. Jad’s fi tness has allowed him to be counted on at the defending end of the pitch, and then quickly transitioning to the attack with his teammates. Along with strong goaltending by Eddie Joss in the pipes and Edwin Torres as striker, the CMFSC Diablos will be a team to contend in the second halve of this 2014/15 season. For his hard work, perseverance, and leadership this season, Jad Cheikh-Najjarine is the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week.

Cold weather did little to deter the Port Moody Redcaps last Saturday as they took to the field against the Surrey Daredevils in under-13 gold division soccer.

There was a lot of back and forth action between the two teams in the early part of the match, however neither side was able to find the back of the net.

The Daredevils finally broke the stalemate with a goal coming off a corner kick.

However, the early 1-0 lead did not las long, with Redcaps player Arash Borairi using brilliant foot-work to get past the Surrey defenders and tie the game at 1-1.

In the second half, the Redcaps put the game away with goals from midfielder Bradley Gregory and Connor Wong.

The 3-1 win guarantees a spot of the team in the top three in their division and keeps them in the hunt for first place.

PIRATESThe Port Coquitlam

Pirates scored some trea-sure at the South Okanagan Hockey Tournament last

week when the peewee A1 team took home the first place trophy.

PoCo went undefeated in the round-robin play, defeating West Kelowna 15-1, Penticton 11-1, while defeating the host club 7-5.

With a bye to the final, PoCo defeated Merritt in a 5-4 nail biter in the hardest fought game of the tourna-ment.
