An Anna’s hummingbird, a species of bird that was once rare in the region, has exploded in population in the last few years. That’s one of the findings of the annual Christmas bird count in the Tri-Cities — held on Dec. 14 — which is part of a North America-wide count that started in the early 1900s as a way of replacing the annual bird hunt. In the Tri-Cities, numbers have been kept since the early 1990s. For more, see article on page A9.

Heavy metal heists hit five SUV owners
By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Sport utility vehicle owners in Coquitlam are being warned after a string of thefts of catalytic converters occurred this week in the Austin Avenue area between Mariner Way and Laurentian Crescent.
In the five thefts, the vehicles targeted were either Toyota 4Runners or Tacomas built be-tween 1997 and 2001, according to Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung.

Cost cutting hitting Tri-City classroomsParents should be concerned, says union president
By Diane StrandbergTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Cuts made earlier this year to stem the bleed-ing at School District 43 are showing up in larger class sizes and the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association (CTA) says
this is a worrying trend.
Dozens m o r e c l a s s e s have the m a x i -m u m
number of students, compared to last year, and more students with special needs are being squeezed into these larger classes.
Charley King, the CTA
president, says this is the result of the district chopping 80 teachers in a bid to cut $12 million and balance the budget for 2013/’14.
“This ought to be a concern of any parent or member of the pub-lic,” King said, noting the statistics report a worry-ing trend that may not improve because the dis-trict continues to have fi-nancial constraints.
The numbers reported
by the province show class size averages also increased slightly this year and the number of classes with three or more special needs stu-dents with individual education plans has also climbed.
One of the biggest changes seems to be in the number of classes with the maximum num-ber of students.

Safe drives and donations both upExpansion keeps Red Nose volun-teers busy at Xmas
By Gary McKennaThE TRi-CiTy NEws
Another year, another jump in the number of Christmas season revel-lers driven safely home by Operation Red Nose volunteers.
And another increase in the amount of money raised through ORN.
The service, whose volunteers drive people and their vehicles home if they have had too much to drink over the holidays, raised $27,640 this sea-son, an increase from last year’s record of $27,296. Proceeds from the annual
campaign go to KidSport Tri-Cities, an organization that helps children from low-income families pay for sports equipment and
registration.“Not only have we
hopefully saved a life or two this year but we’ve also made the lives of
more than 180 kids a bit better by giving them a chance to play a sport,” said Chris Wilson, the Tri-Cities’ Operation Red
Nose organizer. “All in all, another great campaign.”
While the increase in donations was just over 1%, the hike in the num-
ber of rides given was slightly higher. In 2012, volunteers took 864 calls; this year, that number climbed to 936.
ORN has seen a dra-matic increase in its numbers since expand-ing the service to in-clude Burnaby and New Westminster in 2012. In 2011, for example, 556 rides were given, raising $17,162 and in 2010, only 382 rides were given, raising $10,181.
Wilson also noted that 60 new volunteers helped out with the pro-gram this year, people he hopes will come back when the service starts up again next holiday season.
Since 2007, Operation Red Nose has operated for the four weekends prior to Christmas and on New Year’s Eve. For more information, go to kidsporttricities.com.

The number of people getting caught drink-ing and driving over the holiday season is on the decline, according to CounterAttack statistics compiled by Coquitlam RCMP.
According to local Mounties, 31 impaired drivers were taken off the road in December, a decrease of 46 from last year’s CounterAttack effort and significantly lower than the 131 ar-rested in 2009.
Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said the numbers show that drivers are finding other ways to get home when they have had a few drinks over the holidays.
“We think that some of the people are getting the message,” he said. “Not all of them, though, which is disappointing.”
Th e n u m b e r o f
crashes in the month of December has also dropped in recent years, Chung noted. In 2013, 31 collisions occurred, the same as in 2012, how-ever down from the 41 recorded in 2011 and the 43 recorded in 2010.
Chung said that while not all accidents are re-lated to alcohol, the num-bers show that in gen-eral, Tri-City roads are getting safer during the holidays.
While the numbers have been trending downwards the last few seasons, Coquitlam RCMP Traffic Services Sgt. Dave Fee said police will be keeping up the pressure.
“It’s a positive change in the right direction but there is much work to be done,” he said. “Since impaired driving related fatalities and injuries are 100% preventable, we shouldn’t even have one
person dead or injured as a result of impaired driving.”
The Drinking Driving CounterAttack program has been in existence for 35 years. Each December — a month known to see a statistical spike in drunk driving — po-lice across the province increase the number of roadblocks they conduct to catch impaired motor-ists.
Fee bumps for 2014
A new year brings a fresh set of increased fees and charges for Coquitlam residents as well as businesses and developers in the city.
Last month, city coun-cil approved the 2014 rate bylaw, which is ex-pected to add $222,600 to the general revenue plus an additional $580,000 to the utility fund.
The fee bump includes the standardization of all recreation facility levies under the new One Pass program that was imple-mented Jan. 1 and will take effect starting April 1, single admission to all of Coquitlam rec centres (i.e., pool, skating, fit-ness) will be: $5.71 for adults, $4.29 for youths and seniors, and $2.86 for kids and seniors over 85. A monthly One Pass will cost: $51.90 for adults, $38.93 for youths and seniors, and $25.95 for kids and seniors over 85.
Meanwhile, youth groups will continue to pay nothing to rent sports fields and courts in Coquitlam, a policy that was adopted several years ago to encourage more kids to get [email protected]

SUVs easy to get under to steal the metal componentcontinued from front page
Thieves pick these types of vehicles because they are higher off the ground and, thus, easier to get underneath.
“Any vehicle manufactured after 1974 can be a target,” Chung said. “However, trucks and sports utility vehicles are the vehicles being targeted the most.”
Thefts of catalytic converters have become in-creasingly common in recent years. Chung said thieves steal the emission-control devices be-cause they are easy to remove and contain ex-pensive metals, including platinum and copper.
Police say drivers can take some steps to protect their vehicles.
Some muffler shops will weld extra metal to the exhaust system to make it difficult to re-move the catalytic converter.
The devices can also be etched or engraved with a licence plate number that identifies the rightful owner should the item be recovered by police.
Vehicles should also be parked in garages whenever possible, Chung added.
A motorist who has had a catalytic converter stolen will likely realize they have been victim-ized when they start their engine. Without the device, the vehicle sounds like it is operating without a muffler, making a deep, loud noise.
Coquitlam RCMP is urging Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam residents to call 604-945-1550 if they see any suspicious activity and to call 911 if they see a crime in progress. Those who have infor-mation about the recent thefts can also contact Crime Stoppers anonymously by calling 1-800-222-8477 or by going to solvecrime.ca.

Changes for PoMo OCPMill site is now proposed as a special study area
By Dan EbenalThe Tri-CiTy News
A steady stream of con-cerns from the public has resulted in adjustments to Port Moody’s official com-munity plan.
The major shifts will see the building heights around the old Barnet Hotel site on St. Johns Street reduced from 26 sto-reys to six and references limiting building density and limiting heights to 28 storeys removed from the portion covering the city’s waterfront.
Mayor Mike Clay said removing the references on building height and floor space ratio would alleviate fears among the public that the Mill and Timber site would see 28-storey development because that’s what is al-lowed in the OCP.
“People were concerned that by putting that infor-mation in there, we were inferring that that form of development was ap-proved and it would go ahead,” said Clay, adding the Mill and Timber site would go back to being designated a special study area.
Coun. Rick Glumac op-posed the changes, saying it takes information out of the OCP and leaves more
decisions i n t h e hands of develop-ers.
“ T h i s is our op-portunity to capture as much as we can from what we’ve heard from the pub-lic,” said Glumac, who ob-jected to suggestions that the changes would provide more flexibility for the area. “What are we want-ing flexibility with? To go higher than 28 storeys? Is that the kind of flexibility we want?”
Clay rejected that sug-gestion, saying develop-ments in the area would never exceed 28 storeys and that the site deserves to be viewed on its own through a special study area.
Glumac said concerns from the public prompted him to propose reducing the building heights for the old Barnet Hotel site and five neighbouring properties from 26 sto-reys down to six, a motion that passed with Clay and councillors Gerry Nuttall and Bob Elliott opposed.
“One of the things I’ve heard on several occasions is concern around the proximity of those poten-tial towers next to single-family residential, with no real transition in between,” said Glumac, adding a high-density development on the corner of St. John’s
a n d B a r n e t /A l b e r t could also result in s e v e r e t r a f f i c c o n g e s -tion.
T h e mayor also successfully pushed through a motion that would allow develop-ers to exceed the 12-storey limit in Moody Centre in exchange for community open space.
“It seems like the pri-mary objection to the den-sity at the Moody Centre transit station is that we don’t have enough parks and green space for these people,” said Clay.
He said the change would allow developers looking to build a 160-unit project on a four-acre site to instead use only one acre for the development and set aside the other three acres for community amenity space.
“We don’t need to do this,” said Glumac, adding it was “throwing out all height allowances” for the area.
Council unanimously approved a motion to de-velop a neighbourhood plan for the Coronation Park area to determine the appropriate density.
“Coronation Park is going to be a difficult neighbourhood at the best of times. It seems to be almost a 50/50 split,” said Clay, adding this will allow
residents to have their own process to determine what the area will look like in the future.
Council also approved a change to the popula-tion figures included in the OCP, adjusting the esti-mate for 2041 from 59,000 down to a projected popu-lation of 50,000.
“The numbers are all just speculation at the best of times,” said Clay, add-ing a 50,000 population is something the community is more comfortable with.
But Glumac said the change in population es-timates will allow future councils to better to deter-mine if developments are in keeping with population targets.
“Too much development will destroy the small-town character of Port Moody. We have to preserve what we have here,” he said, pointing out this is the first time SkyTrain has come through a small town.
Staff will now work on the revisions to the OCP before it comes back to council next month, when the public will have an-other opportunity to pro-vide input. The document will then go to the land use committee before coming back to council for the ini-tial readings of the bylaw. The OCP would then need to be sent to the Metro Vancouver board for com-ment before going back to public hearing, then to council for final [email protected]

Which way to go? City is aiming to make that clear with signageSign plan push due to coming of Evergreen Line
By Diane StrandbergThE Tri-CiTy NEwS
Tri-City residents and visitors will have no ex-cuse for getting lost in Coquitlam if the city’s wayfinding plan comes to fruition.
Beginning this year, the city will be identify-ing locations that need signage to help people find Evergreen Line sta-tions, public parking, cy-cling routes and parks.
Wayfinding is a sys-tem of information ele-ments that help people connect with key desti-nations. Signs can incor-porate neighbourhood themes and public art, and information kiosks can help people navigate their city on foot, by car or bicycle, said Catherine Mohoruk, the city’s man-ager of transportation planning.
“The users of wayfind-ing are often folks that are new to the area and we do have a large num-ber of folks that are mov-ing here — we are one
of the high-growth areas. I think people want to have more information about where they want to go,” she explained.
The coming of the Evergreen Line is the catalyst for implement-ing a wayfinding strat-egy. TransLink and vari-ous groups, including cy-clists and seniors, will be consulted, with the goal of having the new signs
in place for 2016, when the line opens.
Now, the city wants to figure out which destina-tions should be featured and will be looking at various designs that can be used to reinforce the city’s brand. Some exam-ples the city is looking at range from heritage signage incorporating public art in Sapperton in New Westminster to
stylish kiosks with maps and transit information used in False Creek in Vancouver.
“It is an opportunity to utilize public art and those are some of the pieces we can talk to council about — (how) to incorporate public art in the process,” Mohoruk [email protected]
One less trip, pleaseA publicity campaign and education program
are expected to roll out this year convincing people to take one less car trip a week.
The pledge is part of an effort by the city of Coquitlam and TransLink to promote change in the way people travel in the region, with prizes for those who take the pledge. It’s being pro-moted at travelsmart.ca/coquitlam along with information about good options for walking, cycling and transit.
Schools and businesses are also being targeted to enrol in initiatives to promote al-ternatives to driving. To pay for the program, Coquitlam will spend $7,000 to leverage another $33,000 in funding from TransLink and will pro-vide advertising in 15 bus shelters.
New Town Centre field
A well-used grass field at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park will be re-placed with artificial turf this year.
The city is replacing the north field, located east of Cunnings Field — another turf facility — at a cost of $2.5 million.
The synthetic conver-sion of the 13,500 sq. m. field — about double the size of a standard ground — is expected to be ready in time for the start of the soccer season this fall, said Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s acting gen-eral manager of parks and recreation, noting the work is set to get un-derway in May and wrap up by October.
Allueva said residents will be able to view the design plans and learn more about the construc-tion impacts at an open house that is scheduled to take place next month.
The full-field replace-ment is the first prior-ity under the 10-year Sportsfield Strategy, a $10-million plan that city council adopted last summer. Next on the agenda is the $1-million upgrade of the artificial turf carpet at Dr. Charles Best secondary school and, in 2016, the $1.3-mil-lion improvement of the north and south fields at Mackin Park in Maillardville.
Coquitlam has 75 sports fields, 42 for sports such as soccer, football, field lacrosse and grass hockey, and 33 for baseball and [email protected]

By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News
A species of bird that was virtually non-exis-tent in the Tri-Cities only a few years ago has seen a significant increase in its local population, ac-cording to statistics from the recent Christmas bird count.
E la ine Golds , a member of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and a volunteer with the annual count, told The Tri-City News the popu-lation of the Anna’s hum-mingbird has exploded in the area.
Prior to 2008, the spe-cies had not turned up in the Christmas count statistics. This year, more than 25 were counted, an increase from five last year and nine in 2011.
“Their [overall] num-bers seem to always be increasing,” Golds said. “There are so many peo-ple that have feeders for them.”
J o h n R e y n o l d s , another member of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and an ecolo-gist and professor at Simon Fraser University, said the Anna’s hum-mingbird population has been slowly expanding northward for the last several years. He said they have become in-creasingly common in
the Lower Mainland and in the southern region of Vancouver Island.
“It’s thought that a combination of milder winters and an increase in hummingbird feed-ers may have helped in-crease their numbers,” Reynolds said. “It’s amaz-ing that a nectar-feeding species can survive our winters.”
Overall, Christmas bird count statistics stayed relatively consis-tent this year. More than 8,500 birds were counted, comprising about 83 species, according to the data, which was col-lected by 60 volunteers across the Tri-Cities on Dec. 14.
That number is up from 2012, when 7,100 birds were tallied, but
down from 2011’s record, which saw 10,000 birds counted.
Numbers can be af-fected by a variety of factors, weather among them, and year-to-year fluctuations are com-mon, Reynolds said.
A one-year snap shot may not mean much but decades of data col-lection help researchers understand long-term trends in the local bird population, he added. For example, Reynolds’ analysis has found the neighbouring Pitt Meadows area has seen a decrease in the types of birds that rely on what is called rough pasture — land similar to that found at Colony Farm in Coquitlam. He attributes this decline to the fact
that many farmers on the east side of the Pitt River have switched from using their land for cattle graz-ing to berry growing.
“We can actually doc-ument how changes in land use practices affects
bird populations,” he said. “Intensification of agri-culture has directly cor-related in an 80 to 90% decline in some of these species that require open fields.”
The Burke Mountain Naturalists organize the annual bird count west of the Pitt River. All of the data is col-lected and sent to Bird Studies Canada, which shares the statistics with the National Audubon Society in the U.S.
The Christmas bird count started in the early 1900s as a way of replac-ing the annual bird hunt. In the Tri-Cities, numbers have been kept since the early 1990s.
Bird numbers are on the rise’13 TRI-CITY BIRD COUNT STATISTICS #species/YeAR #totAl

It’s that time when many of us have made resolutions for the new year. Most of them
are lofty goals aimed at self-improvement: quit smoking, lose weight, exercise more often are all among the popular ones.
So in that spirit, here are five ideas for B.C. politicians to consider as they kick off 2014:1. Stop trying to defy gravity.
Voters aren’t dummies. They can add, sub-tract, and remember what you said yesterday, the year before, and in the last election.
Families First? Check. Cleanest liquefied natural gas in the world? Check. BC Ferries is an independent corporation free of govern-ment interference? Check.2. Avoid most words that end in ‘est.’
Politicians like to boast but there are some words that should be banned from your lexicon in 2014. These include: best, biggest, cleanest, largest. You can throw in “world class” as well.
No politician would ever say they’re going to come up with the second best solution or use inferior technology but leave it up to oth-ers to determine if it’s the best, biggest, clean-est or world class.3. Don’t make job creation promises you can’t cash.
No one likes it when a politician breaks a promise but there’s a big difference when it comes to breaking one on creating jobs.
The unemployed aren’t just the numbers British Columbians see in monthly Stats Canada reports; they’re also the faces of those relying upon their partner, father or mother to find a job.
And it hurts even more when the unemployed see many of the new jobs going to temporary foreign workers. With more than 5,300 B.C. businesses holding temporary foreign worker permits, there’s the potential for a lot of hurt.
Decent jobs mean a great deal to those who need them. Don’t let them down.4. Don’t hold public consultations that are onlyintended to seek validation for a course alreadydecided upon or keep holding them until you getthe answer you want.
From service cuts at BC Ferries to bike lanes
in Kitsilano, there’s a perception that local councils and the provincial government may hold public consultations just to provide politi-cal cover for a decision already taken.
Bad idea. It feeds public cynicism.Public consultations will have more cred-
ibility when you approach them with an open mind regarding the outcome rather than sim-ply extending a rubber stamp in the hope the public will take it and acquiesce to a course of action you’ve already decided upon.5. Stop auditioning for The Brick.
B.C. may have the lowest personal tax rate in Canada but that doesn’t mean it has the lowest tax burden and taxpayers know it. Don’t insult their intelligence by suggesting they’re getting off easy when it comes to taxes and fees.
While it may be politically expedient to re-duce a 28% hydro rate hike over five years into “only $5 a month more in the first year,” don’t.
A $5-per-month hike may not seem much but it’s on top of similar “only a few dollars a month more” increases for ICBC premiums, BC Ferries fares and MSP premiums. And that’s at the provincial level.
Locally, ratepayers face “only a few dollars a month more” increases in property taxes, sewer and water utility fees, garbage fees and Metro Vancouver taxes, plus transit subsidies (including fares, transit dedicated property taxes and fuel taxes).
And all of these “a few dollars here and a few dollars there” increases come out of some of the lowest median family incomes in Canada and from family budgets that pay some of Canada’s highest housing costs.
A few other stats to keep in mind when you’re trying to reduce rate hikes to the ridiculous: B.C. university students are graduating with the highest student debt load in Canada; the aver-age consumer is carrying non-mortgage debt in excess of $25,000; and more than 40% of British Columbians live paycheque to paycheque.
There’s little left in their pockets to pick ex-cept lint, so stop explaining away rate hikes in terms better suited to furniture retailers.
Keeping these five resolutions will play well with British Columbians.

Going for gold■ WHAT WE THINK:
The armchair coaches now questioning the picks for the Canadian men’s Olympic hockey team have a few more weeks to discuss their preferred
dream team before the Olympics begin. The truth is, the players are all standouts and we’ll enjoy watching them take on the world at Sochi.
There may be a few more top-notch Canadian hockey players who could have been added to the team — this country produces a lot of them — but for now, let’s get behind the team that is about to don our na-tion’s colours.
Let’s also root for the 21-player Canadian women’s hockey team that was chosen to much less fanfare in December. This squad of outstanding athletes is sure to put on a great show and is favoured to win a fourth consecutive Olympic gold, with the American side — as it was in 2010 in Vancouver — the greatest competition.
If hockey is Canada’s game, then the Olympics is sure to be the highlight of fans’ hockey experience this year.
QQQthe THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Do you think the Canadian men’s Olympic hockey team will win gold in Sochi?

FACE TO FACE: Should cyclists in B.C. be licensed and taxed?
ANDY RADIA JIM NELSON
Here’s an idea for our friends at TransLink, our local gov-ernments and even the polit-
icos in Victoria: If you want another revenue source to pay for road and bridge infrastructure, start register-ing and taxing cyclists.
It’s an issue that’s actually being debated south of the border right now.
The lively discourse was recently sparked after a Chicago city council-lor proposed an annual $25 fee for that city’s bike riders.
“My rationale is that we have an increase in bike ridership in the city, have provided bike lanes for bike riders and they utilize the road, just like the people who drive cars and trucks,” Ald. Pat Dowell said in October. “If we have to register our cars, bikes ought to be registered as well.”
Other jurisdictions, both in the United States and Canada, have also pondered such a levy.
In 2010 in Toronto, Coun. Giorgio Mammoliti said that if he were elected mayor, he would introduce a $20 to $30 registration fee for bikes in Canada’s largest city.
“The suburbs don’t want to con-tinue to subsidize these pet projects,” he said with regard to building new
downtown bike lanes, according to the Toronto Star. “If those that want to ride bikes want to continue to change infrastructure and cost the taxpayer $4 million a year, then they should pay for it.”
It makes a lot of sense. In Metro Vancouver, as well, bik-
ers are getting a free-ride — figura-tively and literally.
Every day, as a driver, I’m paying gas taxes, tolls and parking levies to help fund our roads and bridges.
A cyclist, on the other hand, is using that infrastructure and, in some cases, special bike infrastruc-ture (i.e., bike lanes) but doesn’t pay any of those user fees. How is that fair?
Opponents to the idea argue that putting the bureaucracy in place to charge cyclists a licensing fee is too costly.
Well, there’s a simple solution to that: charge cyclists more to pay for that bureaucracy.
And while they’re at it, the pow-ers that be need to start enforcing our helmet laws and use the fines collected to help fund road and bike infrastructure as well.
Biking is great for personal health and the environment. But it’s time to stop the free ride.
Don’t discourage green transport

IN QUOTES
“And while they’re at it, the powers that be need to start enforcing our helmet laws and use the fines collected to help fund road and bike in-frastructure as well.”Andy Radia
vs.“Walkers, scooter users and skateboarders have been using our infra-structure gratis for years — shouldn’t we license these deadbeats, too?”Jim Nelson
You want to license bicycles, Andy? This is a silly idea and you, of all people, should be
against it.You have a visceral dislike of gov-
ernment bureaucracy. Government is the problem, not the solution. We need government to get out of the way. Remember? This is your mantra.
Yet, the government should make people trot over to the Motor Vehicle Branch and cough up $25 to register their bikes and get a licence plate, on pain of… what? If one refuses to get a bike licence, what is Victoria to do about it?
Would the RCMP conduct road-side checks to screen for bike li-cences and cyclist sobriety? Would they dole out fines, tickets and roadside suspensions to kids with no bike licence or too many noisy base-ball cards in their spokes?
What about tricyclists, unicyclists and those who use other modes of self-propulsion that use our infra-structure without paying? Walkers, scooter users and skateboarders have been using our infrastructure gratis for years — shouldn’t we license these deadbeats, too?
The mind boggles. And this scheme would make money? Right, just like Coquitlam’s pay parking.
But the silly logistics are a minor reason to be against licensing bi-cycles.
The main reason is that we want to encourage people to cycle rather than burn carbon. We don’t want to deter them or make them pay. When someone takes a bike instead of a car, they make a healthy personal and environmental choice that is good for all of us.
Look, I’m not crazy about the Lycra, those gloves with the fingers cut off or the self-righteous attitudes of some cyclists, but forcing cyclists to pay because some of them annoy us is a bit adolescent.
I know Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson may be too far left for you, and oil companies are funding noisy anti-cyclist groups. It’s hard to resist jumping on the anti-bike bandwagon and buying a Climate Change is a Hoax T-shirt.
A car is a lethal weapon requir-ing assurance that operators aren’t incompetent or impaired. Bicycles don’t need such scrutiny and they damage neither the environment nor our infrastructure.
Licensing bicycles is a petulant idea.
I don’t like what you’re pedalling — er, peddling — this week, Andy.

By Janis WarrenThe Tri-CiTy News
The last section of Coquit lam’s Burke Mountain to be built will undergo a much wider study than previously planned.
Instead of a neigh-bourhood plan that was scheduled for the Hazel Drive-Harper Road area — located at the top of Coast Meridian Road — city staff instead will look at a bigger picture for 990 acres that will in-clude:
• quarry lands west of the Coquitlam River;
• a development re-serve south and east of Hazel-Harper;
• and Riverwalk, a pri-vately held property that wraps around Hazel-Harper to the west and north.
The study area is south of the Pinecone Burke Provincial Park.
On Thursday, Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of plan-ning and development, told The Tri-City News the city’s 30-year vision is aimed at looking at the connection between the
northwestern properties.“It’s such a range of
areas that we thought the visioning approach made more sense,” he said.
And, as with the Tr a n s i t - O r i e n t e d Development Strategy — a new city policy de-veloped for land around the upcoming Evergreen Line — the visioning concept is expected to go much quicker than a more detailed neigh-bourhood plan and, in some cases, allow land-
owners to apply for an OCP change right after the visioning process is complete.
Currently, Coquitlam has four neighbour-hood plans for Burke Mountain: Upper Hyde Creek, Lower Hyde Creek, Smiling Creek and Partington Creek, the last of which council adopted last fall.
In total, more than 25,000 people are ex-pected to call Burke home over the next 30 years, of which up to
8,000 could go in the northwest Burke vision-ing area.
But lumping the lands together isn’t in the best interest of the Hazel Drive Neighbours’ Association, spokesper-son Glenn Toppings told council last month.
The scope is too broad, he complained, and many Hazel resi-dents have been waiting years to redevelop their semi-rural properties. (Years ago, Hazel had the chance to be part of the Smiling Creek Neighbourhood Plan but declined.)
Hazel consists of older homes — many still oc-cupied by the original landowners — and are serviced with munici-pal water but not city sanitary sewers. In many cases, the septic systems are failing or below stan-dard.
McIntyre said on
Thursday the ci ty decided to include Riverwalk in the vision for “completeness.”
“Why leave a pocket there?” he asked. “You don’t want to omit that portion.”
A decade ago, the city put preconditions on Riverwalk — i.e., install-ing a Coquitlam River bridge, establishing a school site, etc. — before development could start but those have yet to be met.
Meanwhile, city staff are organizing a public advisory group to de-velop the Northwest Burke Vision. And a workshop with area landowners as well as an open house is set to take place before the summer.
The draft Northwest Burke Vision is expected to go before city council for consideration early next [email protected]

In kindergarten the number of classes at the maximum rose from 14 to 22; in Grades 1 to 3, that number went from 30 to 72; in Grades 4 to 7, the increase was from 48 to 125; and in Grades 8 to 12, it was 360 to 400. (The legislated maximums are 22 students for kin-dergarten classes, 24 for Grades 1 to 3, and 30 for Grades 4 to 12).
King said it’s not sur-prising classes are larger and more complex after the district whittled down its teaching staff
to avoid a deficit. But he said he’s worried about the impact on student learning this year and what the future holds for 2014.
“This should be about access and students get-ting what they need,” King said, laying some of the blame for larger and
more complex classes on the province.
SD43 assistant super-intendent Sylvia Russell agreed that cuts to teach-ing staff have resulted in larger class sizes but she said efforts were made not to exceed maxi-mums unless teachers requested larger classes
for subjects such as band and choir.
Russell also said it’s difficult to compare last year with this year because the province changed the definition of a class. Special programs for students with learn-ing difficulties are now counted as classes and they have a higher pro-portion of students with special needs.
“It happened because there was a change in the definition of class,” Russell said. “I can’t give you a good analysis on the impact of kids with special needs.”
But she said the dis-trict is no longer a pro-vincial leader in larger class sizes because more districts are keeping classes to the legislated maximum to avoid pay-ing teachers for extra students.
“We’re still very high at [Grades] 4-to-7 and at the 8-to-12 level but we’re in the range with other districts,” she said.

Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability
but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual,
desirable esthetic.Zack Spencer
2014 Toyota Highlander: Prettier in form and functionCARMEL, CA: The Toyota Highlander is a perfect ex-ample of the trend towards crossovers away from traditional SUVs. Before its 2001 introduc-tion, the Toyota SUV of choice was the 4Runner, built off a pickup truck plat-form, providing ruggedness and versatility. Crossovers now accomplish the same versatility in terms of seating, cargo and all wheel drive capability but do so with a better on-road drive, thanks to a car-based platform. The first Highlander was rather small, about the same size as a compact crossover today.In 2008, its size was adjusted to make room for a standard third row of seats. Now the Highlander has grown again and is packed with more standard equipment and features.
Looks Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual, desirable esthetic. The 2014 edition is 7.5cm longer (mostly in the rear seat and cargo area), 1.5cm wider and 3cm lower. The stance is wide and lower, making more of a visual impact. Combine this with a large grille borrowed from the Tundra pickup truck and the Highlander has a very rugged, yet polished, look that
makes it more North American looking.I believe that this is the best-looking Highlander to date and import buy-ers will take note and a few domestic intenders should too.
Inside The dash is much improved with more soft-touch materi-als and a large 6.1-inch screen in the centre of the dash on the base LE or an 8.0-inch screen on
all other models, makes operation easy. One problem is the angle of the screen is hard to see if there is any sunshine, the glare a bit more than I had anticipat-ed. Back up camera is standard.Below the screen and heat controls is a tray-like shelf that runs from the middle to the passenger side of the dash. This is a clever space to place your smartphone but also enable it to be plugged in. The cup holder is large and the centre armrest has a massive storage area in-side; this is thanks to the removal of the stowaway seat that used to hide under the centre armrest. Now in the second row of seats there are three permanent seats or two captain’s chairs in the top Limited model. The previous hideaway idea was simple but not so comfortable. The biggest change takes place in the third row of seats, where three people can sit rather than just two. In addition,
there is 100L of cargo space behind the third row of seats offering much better functionality. It has all the interior amenities that one expects in a modern three-row crossover, even a system that allows the driver’s voice to be amplified through the stereo for easier conversations with passengers in the very back, but there seems to be a lack of sophistication compared to its competition.
Drive The previous Highlander was available with a 4-cylinder engine and front wheel drive (FWD). It’s with a standard 3.5L V6 with 270hp, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, also with FWD. The starting price stays at $31,680; factoring in the backup camera there is good value here. When it arrives later this month, the base LE with all wheel drive (AWD) starts at $34,180. I think most people will opt for the LE with convenience package that includes 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, satellite radio and leather steering wheel to name a few. This brings the price up to $34,480 for the FWD and $36,980 for the AWD. On the road, the AWD system sends power to just the front wheels as often as possible with only 10 per cent of the torque shifting when cornering. The system has the ability to shift or lock up to 50 per cent of the power for better traction but limiting it to times
when it is truly needed helps improve fuel economy. The other part of the fuel economy story is the all-new 6-speed automatic. The official fuel rating for the most popular AWD model is 11.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, which is almost a full litre improvement in combined highway/city economy over the 2013 model. The rear suspension has been modified for a slightly more dynamic drive and improved ride. The steering is rather light and vague but the buyers of this type of product will appreciate the ease of use.
Verdict The Highlander is a functional vehicle for young buyers with kids and friends that need to get to practice and carry all the sports equipment that goes with it. Overall, a very good family cross-over that will get the job done every day.

Much motoring mythology surrounds Germany’s speed limit-less autobahns.Many readers who favour an increase in posted limits on our freeways point to the superbly engineered German highways as the example to follow. The latest round of praise follows the recent Insights West poll con-ducted for Black Press that found 37% back increased limits on routes such as the Coquihalla Highway. And doubtless B.C. Transporta-tion Minister Todd Stone will hear the same in his review of highway speed limits during the eight regional public forums being held this month.Hate to be a party pooper but today’s autobahns really don’t live up to their past reputation. They are excellent to drive but if you expect to cruise along at 250 km/h for the duration of a multi-hour journey you will be disappointed. In recent
years, I’ve driven thousands of kilometres along high-speed freeways throughout Europe while attending launches for a variety of high-powered cars. One of the most memorable trips I drove was the 585 km between Munich and Berlin, which I covered in an Audi A6, with a 2.8-litre V6 generating 207 horse-
power under the hood. Just like Vancouver, Munich is a thriving city and there’s congestion with a capital C even on the A9 autobahn. The queues continue even 30 km outside of the city but it must be said that they move at a uniform speed of 100 km/h!To say there are no speed limits is inaccurate: I en-countered city areas where the maximum was 120 km/h overnight between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. There are also restrictions on motor-cycles, large trucks and for cars towing trailers.What I find most interesting was the unwritten rule, which, while it can’t be en-forced, if you disobey it and are involved in a collision it may cost you. Say what? – The advisory speed limit un-der this “rule” is 130 km/h, referred to in German as the Richtgeschwindigkeit. Smash
up at a higher speed and you could be found partially re-sponsible due to “increased operating danger.”Within an hour, I was comfortable with the car and itching to let it go. It seemed to be tugging to the right at one point but that was near the car’s birthplace at Ingolstadt. On the other hand, it could have been a crosswind.You can only pass another car in the left lane. The right lane is for slower vehicles so you risk a ticket if you pass on the right at any speed. That threat didn’t seem to worry too many in the approaches to the various urban areas along the way. As the traffic thinned, I wound up the A6 to 200 km/h for less than a minute and shortly after I managed to hit 220 km/h but that lasted all of 20 seconds. I
managed to do 180 km/h for about three minutes before slowing to 140 for a sustained period of around 20 minutes. Europe is full and nowhere is that more evident than on the roads. I found 120 km/h was more easily achieved for most of the journey and seemed to be more typical a speed for most. There’s the reality check: Generally, I agree that some of our freeways could stand a slight increase in the posted limit, especially in the rural areas where drivers would likely be able to maintain the top speed more easily than on the theoretically speed limitless autobahn.

The Infiniti QX70 may be a looker but its range of safety equipment is its most attractive feature.Looks:It’s distinctive Infiniti look to it should attract many buyers. The projector style headlights flow with the body lines and the fog lights look like they actually belong rather than appear an afterthought as is the case in some of its compet-itors. The side body lines almost give the appearance of waves moving up the ve-hicle. LED rear brake lights and centre high-mounted stoplight sit atop the rear power lift-gate. Chrome ac-cents around the windows give it a sense of elegance. The functional side vents on the rear of the front fenders give it a European sporty look and reduce front end tilt by 5%. In The Cab:The cabin seems large at first, but after climbing in and getting comfortable you realize it is not all that big. Access to the controls is easy as they are well posi-tioned. I like the navigation screen with 3D mapping and the around view mon-itor that gives you a bird’s eye view of the vehicle. An eight-way power driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support, six-way power front passenger’s seat, 60/40 split folding rear seats that individually fold flat, make for comfort. The audio system is a Bose 11 speaker with two sub-woofers, AM/FM/CD with MP3 playback capability and has a speed sensitive volume control. Color moni-tors are built in to headrests so rear passengers can enjoy movies or play their favourite games. There is an advanced climate control system that continuously cleans the cabin and auto-matically shuts off the out-side air vents when exhaust fumes are detected. Safety first:The QX70 includes dual stage front airbags with seatbelt and occupant sensors, driver and front passenger side impact supplement airbags, roof mounted curtain side impact airbags with rollover sensor for all-row outboard occupant head protection. Intelligent brake assist sys-
tem is a safety feature that continuously monitors and analyzes closing speeds to a vehicle ahead and provides warnings. If a collision is imminent, it will also apply the brakes. There is also a lane departure warning and prevention system.Power:A 3.7 litre, 24 valve V6 engine with 325 horsepow-er and 248 foot pounds of torque power this vehicle. The 7 speed automatic transmission is an electron-ically continuously variable (CVT) with manual shift capabilities, that features downshift rev matching technology. Pump frequency:12.9/9.1 L/100km (city/highway)Warranty support:48 month/ 100,000 kmRoadworthy:Excellent handling to this vehicle, steering was quick and responsive, and body roll was at a minimum. Even though the engine was more than adequate providing plenty of power, the CVT transmission was continuing to make adjust-ments and I found at times sudden bursts of power followed by a hard up shift. Definitely not something I expected with this type of luxury.
Verdict:I was excited to drive this vehicle after reading some of the press releases, but was disappointed on the size of the interior space and performance. The safety features of this vehicle are incredible and I think most people would feel very safe driving it.

The Honda Crosstour, intro-duced for the 2010 model year, is a stylish and more versatile hatchback version of its Accord stable mate. Taller than its sedan coun-terpart, the Crosstour has more ground clearance, a cavernous cargo area and it’s available in both front-drive and all-wheel-drive editions.A good vehicle match for an outdoor or active lifestyle owner, Crosstour retains the fuel economy and nice riding virtues of an Accord and adds the flexible storage op-tions and the functionality of a utility vehicle, without the “boxy” design drawback. Prices seem higher than the sedan because every Cross-tour comes with a compara-ble level of equipment as the EX-L (top-line) edition of the sedan. It also comes with a 3.5-litre V6 engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission (no 4-cylinder 2010 to 2012). Called a J-series engine, this 4-valve/cylinder, and 60-degree V6 also has variable valve tim-ing and it’s built at a Honda engine plant in Anna, Ohio. A unique feature of this clever engine is its Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system that can seamlessly turn off one bank of cylinders when power de-mand is light, or transform it into a V4 for medium loads. Max power output is 271 horsepower and 254 ft-lb of torque. Its city/highway fuel economy rating is 11.7/7.2 and the all-wheel-drive system adds an extra 0.8 L/100km. A higher roofline translates into a significantly more spacious cabin that provides extra headroom for taller occupants. Handy release levers in its rear cargo area allow users to fold down the rear seats remotely, when extra cargo space is needed. Seat-up cargo volume is 729 litres (25.7 cu-ft) and there’s another 54 litres (1.9 cu-ft) in a large under-floor storage box. The Crosstour was largely unchanged for the 2011 model year and other than the addition of a standard
rearview camera, it was status quo again in 2012. For 2013, changes included a new lower-priced 4-cylilder edition and the V6 engine was coupled with a new 6-speed automatic trans-mission.Generally very good occupant protection ratings were marred by an IIHS roof crush test, which simulates a rollover. The 2010 Crosstour received a 2.82 strength-to-weight ratio result and a “marginal” rating. Hidden structural changes for the 2013 model year allowed it to achieve a 4.62 strength-to-weight ratio result, which is a “good” rating.
Recalls on the 2010 to 2013 Honda Crosstour:
2010 – A bearing prob-lem inside the automatic transmission may cause an electronic short circuit that causes the engine to stall. Additionally, broken pieces may become lodged in the parking pawl resulting in the vehicle rolling after the driver has placed the gear selector in the park position. Dealers will update the au-tomatic transmission control module software.
2012 - The side curtain air-bag inflators may be faulty and one or both airbags may not deploy as intended. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace one or both side curtain airbags. 2013 - The fuel tank may have been manufactured incorrectly and could leak fuel. Dealers will replace the fuel [email protected]

But don’t throw your old pills into the garbage can, warn pharmacists
Your medicine cabinet may contain unused or expired medications that can harm your family and the environment if not disposed of properly.
This New Year, the BC Pharmacy Association (BCPhA) and Metro Vancouver urge British Columbians to return old medications to their local pharmacy.
“The New Year is a great time to take a look in your medicine cabinet and double-check the expiry dates on your prescriptions,” said Don Cocar, president of the BCPhA. “It’s free for British Columbians to return unused or expired medications to pharma-cies for safe and effective disposal.”
B.C.’s Medications Return Program covers all prescription drugs; over-the-counter medica-tions including topical antibiotic and anti-fungal creams; and natural health products that are
orally ingested, such as vitamins, minerals, traditional Chinese medi-cines, herbal products, probiotics and homeo-pathic medicines.
The best way to return your medications to the pharmacy is to either combine loose pills into a small bag or black out your personal identifi-cation on the original containers. More infor-mation on the program can be found at www.healthsteward.ca.
“Please don’t throw medications in the garbage or flush them down the toilet,” said Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore, who is also the mayor of Port Coquitlam. “The free service provided by most pharmacies helps to keep drugs out of the trash, away from
children and others who might be harmed. It also helps to protect the en-vironment. Medications become potential envi-ronmental contaminants when they enter our sewer system.”
The BCPhA is a not-for-profit, voluntary as-sociation, representing almost 2,800 pharmacists and more than 800 pharmacies throughout British Columbia.

No one likes paying taxes but for most of us, it’s an inevitable part of life.
There are ways, how-ever, to reduce what you pay to Revenue Canada and maximize your choices as to where you spend your money.
Tax Tips Through the Ages, to be held on Jan. 18, is the second free education session that is part of the Life as A Journey series hosted by Douglas College Foundation and Wildlife Rescue Association. (The first, held in October, looked at travel options and travel insurance and future sessions are planned on estate plan-ning, housing choices and health care.)
“The series came about because we real-ized there are many issues — from travel to housing, from estate planning to health care — that change over one’s lifetime,” said Hazel Postma, Douglas’ associ-ate vice-president of ex-ternal relations College. “It’s a way for us to offer
some educational ses-sions to the community, beyond our students, without cost.”
The Jan. 18 session features presenters Heather MacLean, CGA, of New Westminster’s McLaren Trefanenko and Ted Leung of
The Co-operators, Ted Leung Agency Ltd., in Coquitlam. MacLean will provide a number of money-saving tax tips while Leung will explain the advantages and dis-advantages of a variety of personal insurance tools.
Enjoying the Journey
— Tax Tips and Personal Insurance is set for Saturday, Jan. 18, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the boardroom at Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave., New Westminster. Admission is free but registration is required by calling 604-526-2747.
Douglas hosts tax talk

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
By Kerry Vital
As 2014 begins, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is looking forward to some exciting events.
On Feb. 5, the GVHBA will hold its Legends of Housing event in Burnaby, featuring Morningstar Homes Partner Dale Barron, Bosa Development Vice-President of Development Eric Martin and former President and Director of British Pacific Properties Ltd. Jim McLean. It will be moderated by
Ledingham McAllister President Ward McAllister.The BC Home + Garden Show will take place Feb. 19
to 23, and will feature the GVHBA Renovation Gallery, a 1,000-square-foot space featuring before-and-after photos of professionally renovated projects as well as free consultations with RenoMark renovators, designers, subtrades and suppliers. You’ll also find the HGTV Main Stage, with appearances from experts such as Bryan Baeumler, Mike Holmes Jr. and Sherry Holmes and Janette Ewen.
March will bring the 20th annual First-Time Home Buyers Seminar, taking place at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey.
“Our experts will help first-time buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Real estate continues to be a hot topic in this region, so seminar attendance is expected to be as many or greater than the 750 young people who attended last year’s event.”
A panel of experts will discuss a variety of topics, including the best location, what home type is best matched to wants, needs and financial resources, and legal considerations. Exhibitors will also be available beforehand to answer any questions and provide information to attendees.
Pre-registration is required; you can register online or call 778-565-4288 Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Attendees are asked to bring a food item for the Surrey Food Bank.

GVHBA ready for exciting, busy year ahead
By Kerry Vital
Morningstar Homes continues to impress with their latest release of amazing View Homes, an extension of Partington on Burke Mountain that combine beautiful homes and a view that’s second-to-none.
“This is a really special offering,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “There is a limited quantity of view homes available on Burke Mountain and they are in high demand.”
The spectacular homes include all of the
gorgeous features of Partington, while also including some of the most beautiful views in the Lower Mainland.
“It’s like being on top of the world,” says Calahan. “Our Partington homes were designed with incredible views in mind by making the windows the focal point of each home. We could not pass up the opportunity to show them off.”
The four-bedroom homes at Partington are available in three different open-plan floorplans, ranging from 3,700 to 3,900 square feet. All of them include an unfinished basement and a large private yard with patio or deck. The kitchens are truly huge, with granite islands, stainless-steel appliances and tons of counter space. Hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas complements the 19-foot vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling linear fireplace.
“These homes are very well laid-out” Calahan says. “There’s a sense of grandeur here. People are noting the ‘wow’ of the house; it takes your breath away.”
Partington is perfectly located for homeowners to live the Burke Mountain lifestyle. The neighbourhood has been growing over the years and now includes schools, parks and trails. It is also just a short drive to Coquitlam Town Centre for shopping, dining and transit. You can also find leisure and recreation activities nearby.
Partington joins Morningstar’s seven previous projects on Burke Mountain, including Belmont, Avondale and Kingston.
“We always strive to be innovative and offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan. “We never tire of trying to better our designs, with each new project being given its own consideration.”
Morningstar was the first developer on Burke Mountain, and Calahan says that they’ve been welcomed with every project they build. She has increasingly seen friends and family members of other Morningstar buyers looking to purchase their own home.
Every home at Partington has been selling well, with Calahan noting she is releasing
more lots for sale this weekend.“Demand is high for a quality product by a
trustworthy builder with an outstanding view. We’re selling them faster than I can release them!” she adds with pride “The Morningstar brand is becoming a household word on Burke.”
View Homes at Partington start at $1.2 million. For more information, check out www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-942-6370 or visit the sales office at 1508 Dayton Street, Coquitlam, open daily (except Friday) between noon and 6 p.m.
Submitted photosThe views from Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain are truly spectacular, below, and Morningstar Homes is taking advantage of this with their view homes at Partington. With all the gorgeous features of Partington plus the amazing scenery, the homes are second-to-none.

The bright and cheery holiday décor has come
down and our homes can look and feel rather ster-ile in January.
Nothing raises our spirits more and adds a touch of much-needed life than some living colour on windowsills, desks and tables.
While the growing conditions inside our homes at this time of year are not great, there are some truly resilient plants that, even under less than ideal circum-stances, stand up well and are easy to care for.
On top of my list are the new varieties
of anthuriums. These tough plants have lovely shaped flowers that just never seem to quit flow-ering in colours of red orange, pink, white and burgundy and their foli-age is a rich dark green.
Anthuriums are ideal for low light and poor humidity growing condi-tions.
They also come in four- or six-inch pots for a nice size variation and the best thing is they need so little care other than some water.
Next on the ‘easy list’ are orchids. By far the most popular are the phalaenopsis orchids that now come in a wide range of colours from hot pinks, deep purples, yellows and reds to some wow bi-colours. As a result of having so many good growers in this part of the world and a boun-tiful supply, the prices for phalaenopsis orchids are very reasonable. They
come in 4”, 5” and 6” pots for a nice size variation.
The secret for opti-mum success is to place them in a relatively humid location, such as near a kitchen sink, in a bathroom or in a cool room and hardly water at all until they become really dry — that’s it!
For the longest life, I like to choose plants that have lots of buds and those that have multiple stems branching off the main stem.
Violets have gone out of favour the past few years and I’m not sure why. They are so easy to care for and all they need is an east or north win-dow to bloom for months if kept a little dry.
They also now come in a series of bright bi-colours that just pop.
Speaking of dry, ka-lanchoes are simply fun and easy. I love their wide range of bright co-lours, from yellows, reds
oranges and pinks that brighten up any window, anytime.
The new doubles, called ‘Calandivas’, are particularly charming and have given new life to the kalanchoe market.
They are a little hard to find right now but ‘Cape Primroses’ (Streptocarpus) will be far more plentiful later this year.
It is, without a doubt, the most prolific indoor flowering plant there is. I put one on a windowsill the other day and it con-tinues to perform like a little trooper.
You’ll be surprised that, with such a little investment, how much vibrancy these easy care plants will add to your home and life.
They will all tolerate the warmer, drier condi-tions in our homes at this time of the year and help make our January days just a little brighter.

Terry Fox secondary is the place to be this week to see some of the prov-ince’s best in high school basketball.
“There will be some really good matchups each day,” said Ravens coach Steve Hanson, pointing out the Legal Beagle tournament fea-tures “Ten teams that have all been ranked in the top 10 at some point.”
In addition to No. 8-ranked Terry Fox, this week’s Legal Beagle tourney also features the province’s top two ranked teams — Walnut Grove Gators and Gleneagle Talons — as well as the Burnaby South Rebels (No. 5), W.J. Mouat Hawks (No. 9) and Holy Cross Crusaders (No. 10) along with Vancouver College Fighting Irish and Kelowna Owls who are threatening to crack the top 10.
“One thing we say every year is no mat-ter what team you are you’re guaranteed three really tough games,” said Hanson.
The Ravens got a pre-view of this week’s ac-tion when they headed to Langley to take on the Gators Saturday, losing 67-64.
Terry Fox jumped out to a 19-4 lead after the first quarter and were up by 10 at the half.
“Since the Christmas break our focus has been on having better starts
and setting a defensive tone for the game,” said Hanson. “I think we’ve kind of played a little loosey-goosey on the defensive end for the first month of the sea-son. We haven’t had any trouble scoring but we just haven’t been get-ting stops when we need them.”
The Ravens got into foul trouble in the second
half, with five players picking up four fouls and three of those players fouling out.
“Liam Hancock, one of our Grade 11 players who’s probably our most consistent scorer, he was probably on the bench for over half the game so that really hurt us,” said Hanson.
The Gators jumped out to a lead midway
through the fourth quar-ter and managed to hang on in the contest that saw the lead swing back and forth in the closing minutes.
“I think our guys real-ized that they can play with any team in the province,” said Hanson. “With the top 10 teams, there’s not a lot that separates them so it just comes down to good
possessions at the end of the game.”
The Gators were with-out last year’s provincial MVP Jadon Cohee with an injured ankle while Raven power forward Mike West was in Texas playing football for Team BC.
“He’s just such a huge rebounder, he scores, he pretty much does ev-erything. He’s just a big
presence, especially on the defensive end,” said Hanson.
The Ravens earlier got past the Delta Pacers 78-52.
“I thought that was probably our most com-plete game of the sea-son offensively and de-fensively,” said Hanson. “With Mike being away, [Grade 12 forward] Brad Peters got a lot
of minutes and he’s re-ally shined getting that extra time. He does a lot without scoring and he’s been a real bright spot for us.”
Gleneagle came up just short in a 71-68 loss to the Sardis Falcons Saturday.
“It went back and forth. It was a highly competitive game for two teams that hadn’t played for a while,” said Talons coach Tony Scott. “Both teams were trying to execute and they just did a better job of doing it.”
Scott said the team was off its game defen-sively and didn’t apply the type of consistent pressure they normally do.
“But it’s to be ex-pected, I mean you haven’t done anything for a week or so and then you’re just trying to get back into it,” said Scott, who singled out Grant Galbraith and Brenden Bailey for their play. “It was really good to play a team of that calibre because they’re going to be one of the top Fraser Valley teams.”
The Talons entered the game coming off a 77-33 win over Maple Ridge and are now primed for the Legal Beagle tourna-ment over at Fox.
“They’ve got some re-ally top-notch teams in there so no matter what side of the draw we end up on they’re going to be really good games,” said [email protected]

Biega brings offensive boost to Express blue-lineBy Dan EbenalThe Tri-CiTy News
Growing up the youngest of four broth-ers, Marc Biega knows all about overcoming a challenge.
The slick defence-man’s main challenge at the moment is to help his Coquitlam Express rack up the points in the stretch drive for the BCHL season. And rack-ing up points is some-thing Biega has been doing a lot of these days.
F o l l o w i n g t h e Christmas break, Biega notched five goals in just his first two games. It was good enough to earn him BCHL Player-of-the-Week honours.
“I don’t know, it must be Christmas or some-thing. It just happened,” said the 19-year-old product of Pointe-Claire,
Que. “I was always an offensive player. At the beginning of the year it wasn’t really going well offensively but now since I’m burying it and getting a lot of points it’s going real well.”
But the points are secondary for Biega, who puts the team’s suc-cess as his top priority. And with the wins will likely come the atten-tion of college scouts, something Biega hopes will solidify his plans for next season.
“I’m hoping to get a college commitment but hopefully I can continue playing well and that will happen soon,” he said.
All three of Biega’s brothers chose the col-lege route, and Biega has been following in their footsteps for most of his life.
“I’m the youngest one out of four so they re-ally helped me, espe-cially playing with them growing up. Them being older, it really helped my development.”
Biega doesn’t see a model for his game in the pro ranks.
“I don’t compare my-self to any NHL players. I just try to do my best and be offensive and help the team out,” he said, adding his broth-ers have always been his biggest role models.
His four goals and 24 points in 39 games with the Express last year helped him land the team’s Top Defencemen Award. And the 6’, 192-lb. blue-liner has im-proved on those totals this year. In 35 games with the Express, Biega has 12 goals and 25 points, good enough for
seventh in defencemen scoring in the BCHL.
Express coach Barry Wolff lists Biega’s com-posure and competitive-ness as the strengths of his game, saying he has a knack of getting his shot through from the blue-line.
“He’s so smart, he moves the puck in the right places at the right times,” said Wolff, who has the confidence to lean on Biega for power play duty, killing penal-ties or shutting down the opponent’s top line. And Biega has excelled in every situation his coach has placed him in.
“We might put him in net next,” said Wolff with a chuckle. “He’s been unreal for us and he just keeps getting better and better.”[email protected]

Try-City players power Team BC
A team with a strong contingent of players from the Tri-Cities re-turned triumphant from an international foot-ball showcase in San Antonio, Tex.
Team BC eas i ly handled the European t e a m 4 5 - 7 e a r l y Sunday morning at the Alamodome.
Centennial Centaur J.P. Kalambay and Terry Fox Raven Adrial Sellers each scored
touchdowns for Team BC, which gave up the opening touchdown be-fore responding with 45 unanswered points.
“We dominated the game and although the opponents had some athletes, our kids were better,” said Team BC coach Tom Kudaba, the co-head coach with Terry Fox.
A.J. Blackwell with the Carson Graham Eagles notched a pair of touchdowns with Jack McDonald (South Delta Sun Devils) and Clovis Lumeka (W.J. Mouat Hawks) also getting in on the scoring.
Kudaba said all the
Tri-City players had strong showings, with the Ravens defensive backs Kyle Miller and Jason Shamatutu, de-fensive linemen Kyle Sagmoen and Mike West and offensive line-man Michael Beck fill-ing out the roster.
Kudaba is in his fourth year on the side-lines with Team BC, guiding them to the top of last year’s FBU International Showcase.
“I think this year’s team had the same amount of commit-ment and competi-tive spirit as last year’s team. We might have had some tough play-
ers that didn’t make it on the roster because of other issues but our kids came to play,” said Kudaba, who was dis-appointed this year’s game with Texas East was changed to a con-trolled scrimmage.
The Texas squad won the scrimmage three touchdowns to one.
“We should have scored two more times but threw deep intercep-tions which snuffed out our opportunities,” said Kudaba. “I think the im-pression everybody got was that our kids are very solid compared to the U.S. players.”[email protected]

BRACEWELL,George Franklin
October 8, 1926-January 6, 2014
George passed away peace-fully at the age of 87. He is predeceased by his wife June and survived by his children Lance and Carol, grandchildrenKristina, Matthew and Ryan, as well as great-grandchildren Heidi and Hollie. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Bur-quitlam Lions Care Centre for their care and support.
DREWITT, Roy It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Roy Drewitt, born July 9, 1938 in Vancou-ver, BC, who passed away peacefully on January 5, 2014. Roy resided and raised his family in Port Coquitlam, BC. He worked for BC Tel/Telus for 36 years before retiring at 53. Roy had a passion for cor-vettes and was a former presi-dent and an honorary lifetime member of the BC Corvette Club. Fitness was also very important to Roy and he spent time over the years running, playing racquetball and going to the gym. He was proud to complete the Vancouver Mara-thon. The Terry Fox Run was also important to him, and he made it a priority to attend this event every year. Roy loved his home but also enjoyed spending time with his wife and other family and/or friends on vacation in Palm Desert. Roy was a kind and supportive husband, father, grandfather and friend and will be sadly missed by all. He leaves behind wife Jean-nine, daughter Roslynn (Mark L), Christine (Mark D), grand-children Kaitlyn, Ashley and Tyler, sister Darlene (Mike), honorary grandchild Briana and many other family and dear friends. Roy recently suffered with cancer and received several blood transfusions. In lieu of fl owers the family would ap-preciate donations of blood and/or donations to cancer re-search and the Terry Fox Foundation. A celebration of life will be held from 1:00-5:00 pm on Sunday, January 12 at the Swan-E-Set Bay Resort and Country Club located at 16651 Rannie Road, Pitt Meadows, BC.
