Land seen as an investmentGAry MCKennA The Tri-CiTy News
The city of Coquitlam bought 160 acres of land in the northeast section of Burke Mountain, an investment staff said will benefit future taxpayers.
The deal with the provincial government, which put the Crown land up for sale last year in an effort to balance its bud-get, closed in December.
But the information came up publicly for the first time during budget consultations Monday.
Perry Staniscia, Coquitlam’s general man-ager of strategic initia-

“These lands were not bid on by the private sec-tor,” he said. “We came in after the fact. Since there were no other buyers, we decided to purchase it.”

The Bel-Air Manor apart-ment fire killed two people and left 38 homeless 21 years ago but investigators

A ghost town now, what will it be when it is fi-nally developed?Diane StranDbergThe Tri-CiTy News
A bright winter sun casts a warm late-af-ternoon glow on the
cedars, overgrown laurel hedges, houses and grassy lawns of a once-thriving company town. For nearly 100 years, the Ioco townsite, as it is now called, has stood on a gentle slope leading down to Port Moody inlet. A post-First World War ad-vertisement for Craftsman-style homes, with their shingles and welcoming porches, the townsite is long empty of the employ-ees who processed 25,000 barrels of crude oil a day in the nearby Imperial Oil re-finery in the early 1950s.
In fact, the townsite, located at the end of Ioco Road on Port Moody’s north shore, looks more like a nuclear test commu-nity, a cluster of buildings with few signs of life — a ghost town, as some have called it.
But possibly, with the purchase by Brilliant Circle Group of half of Ioco town-site, it could be a future residential community.
“I don’t like to call it a ghost town,” said James Cheng, a Vancouver archi-tect noted for the design of several large and small de-velopments, including Port Moody city hall.
If his vision comes to fruition, Ioco townsite, the home of Imperial Oil Company (Ioco) employees since the early 1920s, could once again be home to residents served by small businesses.
But before Cheng can come up with a plan for the townsite, part of BCG’s pur-chase of 232 acres of land from Imperial Oil, which also includes forests in Port Moody and Anmore, much work needs to be done to assess the condition of the heritage buildings, to look at Village Creek, which runs through it, and to become
acquainted with commu-nity desires and govern-ment requirements for the land.
“We’re not interested in fake heritage, just glue back the facade of the building,” Cheng told The Tri-City News. “What I would like to do is work with Port Moody and the people. How do we make this a sustainable heritage town centre?”
Traffic concerns are an-other major issue as PoMo won’t allow any more building in the area unless David Avenue is extended, and Cheng acknowledges more cars on the road is a key matter.
“I am approaching this with no preconceived ideas,” he said, although he wonders if the townsite can
be rebuilt as the pedestrian-oriented community that was once envisioned.
CONSERVATIONIt is a given amongst
longtime Port Moody residents that Ioco townsite should be preserved and the land — now bisected, with Imperial Oil retaining the western half and BCG owning the section to the east — generates a feeling of protective ownership that few cookie-cutter sub-divisions can engender.
Mary Ann Cooper, who turned 100 last fall and con-tinues to lobby for the pro-tection and maintenance of the remaining 13 residential and community buildings, as well as the lawn bowl-ing green, believes the sale
shouldn’t be allowed to go ahead because the townsite is protected under the city’s 2002 Heritage Conservation Area bylaw.
“The division of the townsite is not acceptable as long as the bylaw is in effect,” Cooper wrote in an email. “A partnership would be lovely, innova-tive!”
From the perspective of local heritage enthusiasts, the division of the Ioco townsite is troubling be-cause two of the more sig-nificant heritage buildings — the groceteria and the community hall — remain on the Imperial Oil side of the townsite.
(Imperial Oil did not provide information on its plans for the buildings
before The Tri-City News’ print deadline.)
Robert Simons, presi-dent of the Port Moody Heritage Society, said the state of these two build-ings is a major worry and although the roofs are protected with tarps, he fears the damp and cold are slowly rotting these 1921 wooden buildings.
Paint is peeling and when a party was planned for Cooper’s 100th birth-day, the idea of holding it in the community hall, home to dances as late as the mid 1990s, was quickly aban-doned.
“It’s still in reasonably good shape,” Simons said, noting that the hall con-tains a basement with a full kitchen and a stage, as well
as a sports court, “but a lot of work is needed.”
Simons and Jim Millar, curator of Port Moody Station Museum, fear that the sale will virtually split the townsite in half, without any long-term plan for re-using these buildings.
THE VISIONThe two men would like
to hear from Imperial Oil about its plans (its portion has been retained as a buf-fer zone for work related to the shipping of refined petroleum products) and are eager to hear from BCG about its half of the prop-erty.
There were once 81 houses on the townsite but when the refinery closed in 1995, most were
removed. One is at Old Orchard Park, a few were relocated to Anmore and the mill manager’s house is now a bed and breakfast in Port McNeill, according to Miller.
The loss of so many buildings is why the town-site never received national heritage status, and he and Simons worry about what the future holds for the re-maining structures.
One scenario would be to group them together and reuse them for the community— but for that to happen, a lot of work, and negotiation, would be required.
On BCG’s side of the townsite, along 2nd Avenue, one section of houses is intact, as is the lawn bowling green, and you can almost imagine a new neighbourhood, with children running to the green for a game of pick-up soccer. Across the street, Ioco school, owned by School District 43, remains empty and boarded up, although Ioco Church to the south is still in use and hosts a daycare.
Could Ioco townsite ever be brought back to life? Architect Cheng says yes but much work must be done first.
“There’s a lot of serious questions to be asked,” he said. “I need to link them all together and come up with a comprehensive plan.”

TEEN HIT BY CAR IN PoCo & HURT
Charges are pend-ing after a vehicle struck a pedestrian in Port Coquitlam last Thursday night, sending a 17-year-old girl to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Coquitlam RCMP said the incident oc-curred shortly after 7 p.m. at Pitt River Road and Columbia Avenue. The teen was crossing Pitt River when she was struck by a white Nissan Altima.
“The pedestrian suffered from a fractured arm and non-life threatening head injuries,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “The investigation continues and we are looking to speak to any witnesses.”
He added that police do not believe drugs, alcohol or speed were factors in the incident but he said charges are being considered and that investigators are still analyzing statements from the public. Any witnesses who have not spoken to police need to get in touch with the Coquitlam RCMP immediately, Chung said.

SAFETY
Last January, the provincial government announced that it would be selling 584 acres on Burke Mountain, which was broken up into 21 parcels in the Smiling and Partington Creek neighbourhoods. Wesbild Holdings was the largest purchaser, buying up 360 acres.
Over the next 30 years, Coquitlam is expected to add 90,000 more residents — pushing the population level to 225,000 by 2046 from the current 132,000 — with 45% of the new residents living along the Evergreen Line and 25% on Burke Mountain.
A 57-year-old Anmore man spent a chilly evening outdoors on Monday after getting lost on the Diez Vistas trail.
The man had taken his dog for a walk and got confused when he reached the north end of the trail, said Coquitlam Search and Rescue’s Michael Coyle.
“Even if you know your way around, when you get to the north end, it’s a bit of a tangle-up there,” Coyle said. “You start walking in the wrong direction — you’re still heading north but you think you should be heading back down.”
The man decided to turn
around and go back the same way he’d come up but it quickly got dark and he couldn’t see where he was going, Coyle said, noting Coquitlam RCMP contacted SAR at 8:30 p.m.
“The police said the
man’s son was out look-ing for him so we initially thought maybe we had two people to rescue but the son came back so that was a good move,” Coyle said.
Coquitlam SAR first sent a team to one of the pump
houses because of informa-tion the man had texted to his family earlier in the evening but when he wasn’t found, several other teams fanned out to search various possible routes. A total of 23 volunteers were dispatched to the scene, with about 18 searchers in the field.
The man was located at midnight in the spot where police had earlier “pinged” his cell phone location. He was cold and huddling with his dog to stay warm but was able to hike out with search-ers, reaching the trail head at 1 a.m.
Coquitlam SAR is remind-ing the public to always bring the 10 essentials (see sidebar) when going for a hike.

2 women died in fireUNSOLVED MYSTERY
A shirtless Jean Labelle and Samantha Geldart got out with their seven-month-old daughter, Jessica, a set of car keys and one precious baby photo.
Two women didn’t make it out of the building: 65-year-old Agda Louise Easingwood and Valerie Diner, 20, who was found in a hallway not far from her front door.
Both victims died of smoke inhalation.
At the time, fire officials said the blaze started some-time between 3 and 4 a.m. in the building lobby and spread up the walls, mov-ing quickly through a crawl space between the first and second floors of the 32-unit building.
Had it not been for the blaze, the Bel-Air would have celebrated its 100th anniversary last year. The First World War derailed plans for its use as the Terminal Hotel and it was later used as a residence for migrant workers, a flu epidemic hospital, a Baptist college, a dance hall and again as a hospital during the Second World War.
Investigators determined accelerants were used to deliberately set the fire but all leads to the solve the homicides later dried up, according to police, who are now renewing a call for
witnesses. Anyone who witnessed
the fire or who has informa-tion about the arson or the
homicides is asked to call police at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 1993-43287 or Crime Stoppers

Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam RCMP is ask-ing for 12 new police offi-cers over the next two years, a service enhancement that if approved by Coquitlam council, would add $1.8 million to the city’s budget.
For the 2015 request, Insp. Byron Massie, the op-erations and support officer for the detachment, said he would like to hire six new Mounties, who would be deployed outside the regu-lar rotation.
The officers would be used for a program he called E-watch, with a pri-mary focus on patrolling high-crime areas identified by call statistics, as well as conducting foot patrols in areas like Town Centre and around the new Evergreen Line stations.
“E-watch would be a huge benefit for Coquitlam by providing additional focus on these hot spots and peak call times,” he said during his presenta-tion to council on Monday.
If council approves the re-quest and adds new officers to this year’s financial plan, it will cost the city $892,000. Hiring six more officers next year would add another $907,000 to the budget.
Given Coquitlam’s rapid growth, Massie stated the city’s crime rate may go up if the number of officers does not keep pace with the population.
While some councillors said they were pleased with the proposal, several stated they would like to see more officers deployed to deal with traffic issues.
Coun. Craig Hodge noted that during last fall’s election campaign, he heard from a number of residents who said they were generally happy with the police service levels in the city but said not enough was being done to stop
speeding and dangerous driving.
Supt. Claude Wilcott, head of the detachment, said that if the E-watch offi-cers were deployed, it would free up other general-duty officers, who could be used for traffic patrol.
“They would have more
of an opportunity to re-spond to those traffic com-plaints,” he said.
A similar budget request for more officers is being made to city council in Port Coquitlam, which shares the detachment with Coquitlam.
But Wilcott said that if
Coquitlam decides to fund the initiative and PoCo decides not to, the officers would be dedicated to op-erating within Coquitlam’s boundaries.
“The beauty of this cur-rent request is that the crime hot spots are sepa-rated,” Wilcott said. “If one
community doesn’t provide the same amount of re-sources, it can be managed and those resources would stay within the community that is paying the bill.”
More Mounties requested for more targeted policing
COQUITLAM BUDGET
Coquitlam RCMP was not the only city department looking for new funding during the budget consultations this week.
FACILITIESPerry Staniscia, the
city’s general manager of strategic initiatives, said that funding is des-perately needed for a handful of maintenance and replacement costs at facilities across the mu-nicipality.
He pointed to several examples of work that needs to be done, includ-ing a new roof and refur-bishment at Spani Pool.
He also stated that the Evergreen Cultural Centre requires a new boiler, a re-placement that could cost the city close to $100,000.
Staniscia’s department was requesting a 1% tax increase dedicated to fa-cility component replace-ment, an amount that works out to about $1.2 million.
PARKSThe parks department
made a similar request of a 1% increase, funding that is required to pay for priorities listed in the city’s parks and recreation master plan.
Raul Allueva,
Coquitlam’s general manager of parks and rec-reation (his role recently changed from acting gen-eral manager to general manager), also requested:
• $23,000 for outdoor recreational program support;
• $65,000 for green waste and contaminated soil disposal;
• $23,000 for cultural assets and inventory management;
• and a $19,000 in-crease to the Canada Day celebrations budget.
The parks department is also looking to add sev-eral new staff members, including a full time map-
ping technician and an arts and culture manager.
ENGINEERINGCoquitlam engineer-
ing department has re-quested that council pro-vide additional funds for the hiring of a full-time environmental projects manager. Engineering GM Jozsef Dioszeghy said the cost of adding the staffer would be approxi-mately $135,000.
He also asked council for $100,000 for streetscap-ing and $240,000 for the city’s pavement rehabilita-tion program. [email protected]

Cops seeking fraudsterTRI-CITY CRIME
Coquitlam RCMP is ask-ing the public to be on the lookout for a fraudster.
Police are trying to iden-tify a man seen on surveil-lance footage who may be linked to a number of inci-dents involving more than 30 compromised credit cards. RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said the suspect has made purchases at a num-ber of locations across the city and may be driving a small, dark sedan.
“He’s not too picky about where he goes,” Chung said. “He has targeted a number
of businesses. Basically, it’s just your everyday shops.”
The investigation began on Nov. 28 and investigators are seeking information from the public that could help identify the suspect.
Anyone with any in-formation is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2014-34600. Those who wish to provide information anonymously can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or by going to solvecrime.ca.

DIANE STRANDBERG/ThE TRI-cITy NEwSCathy McMillan is a founding director of Decoding Dyslexia in B.C., an advocacy group formed to connect parents with resources for their children.
Dyslexic kids have advocacy group
EDUCATION
PoMo mom says interest is on the rise in B.C.Diane StranDbergThe Tri-CiTy News
A Port Moody mom who is the founding director of the B.C. branch of an advo-cacy group supporting dys-lexic students says interest is growing fast in the new organization.
Cathy McMillan said Decoding Dyslexia has be-come a movement, sweep-ing the U.S. and Canada, and a branch formed in B.C. last spring to connect parents with resources and to lobby for more for fund-ing for students who strug-
gle with reading, numeracy and writing.
“It’s to makes sure our kids get what they deserve,” McMillan told the School District board of education on Jan. 13.
She noted that 20% of the population suffers from dyslexia and it can run in families — McMillan said she and her two children, both successful students and athletes, have dyslexia. In a classroom of 25 stu-dents, up to five students are likely to have some form of a learning disability but only about 1% to 3% draw funding from the province.
In SD43, 1,613 students are designated with a learn-ing disability, or about 4% of the student population.
“These children can learn
with appropriate learn-ing accommodations and modifications,” she said.
Among the aims of the group is to lobby for a uni-versal definition of dyslexia, mandatory teacher training, mandatory early screening, mandatory remediation programs and access to ap-propriate assistive technolo-gies in public schools for children with dyslexia.
The group has a Facebook page, McMillan said, and will soon have a website, expert blogs and information workshops for parents. The group replaces the Tri-Cities branch of the Learning Disabilities Association, which folded about three years [email protected]

PoMo has concerns re. PCT’s potash facility
PORT MOODY
Sarah PayneThe Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody has detailed a long list of concerns about Pacific Coast Terminals’ proposed potash-handling facility, ranging from en-vironmental restoration to traffic management.
In a December letter to Port Metro Vancouver, the city notes “significant con-cerns regarding the offset plans proposed in com-pensation for the habitat loss incurred as part of the project,” particularly along the foreshore area along the PCT site that falls within PoMo’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas strategy.
It also notes issues around nearby osprey nests, the overall habitat loss and calls for more de-tailed information on plans for the creation of Kyle Creek Spit, enhancements to Reed Island and the cre-ation of Reed Point Beach. Additional concerns in-clude stronger protections for Schoolhouse Creek and tree retention.
Port Moody also wants to see more information regarding public safety, with requests that Port Moody Fire Rescue review any building plans for the potash facility and that PCT provides further details on the risk of combustibility of potash dust.
And while the proposed facility falls within the prop-erty’s existing industrial zoning, PoMo’s letter noted the bylaw states indus-trial uses can’t discharge odours, heat and radiation, or “recurrently generated ground vibration.”
The letter asks PCT to clarify potential construc-tion-related traffic impacts and noise, both during construction and once the facility is operational, and requests that the city’s engineering department inspects any off-site works to assess potential impacts for the city’s drinking water, storm and sanitary sewer systems.
PCT signed an agree-ment with K+S Potash Canada last spring and
expects to be handling about 1.8 million tonnes of the material, from the company’s Legacy mine project in Saskatchewan, in late 2016.
The agreement will mean about 300 full-time construction jobs over a two-year period as PCT builds its potash-handling facilities as well as about 60 new full-time jobs once the facility is operational.
Port Metro Vancouver is reviewing the potash facility application as well as a separate application for dredging the navigation channel near PCT.
PCT general manager Wade Leslie told PoMo council last fall that dredg-ing is needed to accom-modate vessels during different tide levels and to prepare for competing customers.
PCT is nearing comple-tion on its canola oil-han-dling facility and is expected to start that operation near the end of March.

Awaiting the future of a historic piece of Tri-Citiesnews that brilliant
circle Group investments ltd.
has bought a sizable chunk of the imperial Oil lands in Port moody and anmore has led to much specula-tion. many people want to know what will happen with the developed and undeveloped portions of the 232-acre property.
the answer, for now, is nothing. architect James cheng, who is noted for many large and small Vancouver developments, including the design of Port moody city hall, has said he wants to have a thorough examination of the prop-erty, including the houses and the streams, and con-sult with the community before making any plans.
this is good news be-cause there is no sense in rushing into something that will be with us for a long time and this property represents much history for the area. it is bisected by
several important streams, including mossom creek, most of the area is second-growth forest, and the developed portion at the ioco townsite is notable for being one of the last ex-amples of a resource-based company town. some of
the buildings are intact on the now brilliant circle-owned portion, although the Groceteria, community hall, school and church are not within its boundaries.
before anything can hap-pen on this site, many juris-dictions will have a say: Port
moody has a standing policy to not add any more traffic to ioco road and wants to see david avenue extended to accommodate traffic growth. anmore has density limits and doesn’t appear inter-ested in increasing density beyond one house per acre. even school district 43 could get involved because of the proximity of the ioco school site to the development.
meanwhile, the provin-cial government and even translink might have a say in road development if that portion of david avenue becomes part of major road network and has to cross mossom creek.
that’s a lot of headwind even for the most deter-mined developer and archi-tect. cheng has promised to deliver a sustainable proj-ect — one where cars are needed less often, not more.
We eagerly await the first community consultation to see how this may become reality.

The Editor,Re. “No defending trustee pay (Letters, The Tri-
City News, Jan. 9) and “Balanced budget promise for SD43” (The Tri-City News, Jan. 16).
During the recent civic election campaign, several candidates for school trustee, in their door-knocking campaigns, promised to look at School District 43 trustees’ pay, which is higher than that paid to trustees in Vancouver, B.C.’s largest district, and to Surrey, the second largest district in the province.
During last year’s budget debates, there was no mention by the past trustees of taking a cut in their pay to help with the board’s budget shortfall but they certainly zeroed in on the district’s non-teaching retirees by cutting their health benefits as a way to help balance the budget. A number of CUPE Local 561 retirees’ only source of income is their pension and this cut in their benefits became a source of hardship.
It has now been reported that the district ended the last school year with a balanced budget and that finances look relatively stable. That being the case, can we expect that the present trustees will overturn the decision of the past board and reinstate the re-tirees health benefits to the level they were in June 2014? And can we also expect a response from the trustees with respect to cutting their pay in compar-ison to that of trustees in Vancouver and Surrey?Elizabeth McKnight, Port Moody
Will trustees look at their own pay now?

Two views on demands for city of PoCo action on road safety
ROAD SAFETY
The Editor,Re. “Serious traffic wor-
ries in PoCo’s Mary Hill area” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Jan. 16).
I live on Eastern Drive close to Pitt River Road in Port Coquitlam. My children attend Mary Hill elementary and Pitt River middle schools. For years, I have walked my kids along Eastern Drive and know exactly what letter writer D. Ward is talking about. Drivers speed along Eastern (and Western) like they are on the Mary Hill Bypass. The house on the corner of Penny Place and Eastern has been crashed into three times by drivers speeding down Eastern.
I have also contacted the city about putting in speed bumps, etc. along Eastern. The city does not permit speed bumps but does put in controlled crossings, which I see people driving through on Mary Hill and Shaughnessy all the time.
I would like to com-
mend the city on its re-sponse to the traffic safety issues around Mary Hill Elementary this past year. But even with the improve-ments made, drivers are still putting kids at risk by breaking the traffic laws and making illegal u-turns, parking on curves, speed-ing and double parking, to name a few issues.
What really is the prob-
lem here? Drivers’ not obeying traffic laws at the expense and the safety of others.
People are so consumed by their own schedules and life happenings that they aren’t paying attention to or abiding traffics laws.
If you are already late or almost late, do you really think that speeding and ignoring traffic safety laws
is going to make such a dif-ference? Are you going to get to where you are going in better time if you have an accident? Are people’s lives so unimportant?
I would rather see tax dollars going into the en-forcement of existing traffic laws and increasing fines than putting in stopgap measures that reckless drivers are going to ignore anyway.Kim Stack, Port Coquitlam
PAY YOURSELFThe Editor,
For people like letter writer D. Ward who are so passionately concerned about a crosswalk at Paula Place and Eastern Drive in Port Coquitlam and people taking their lives in their
hands by using the cross-walk, I have a suggestion for them:
Instead of rushing off to city hall to demand the city use its limited funds to in-stall pedestrian-controlled light at that intersection, why don’t they volunteer to pay for it themselves? They could go to city hall, ask how much it would cost to install it and pull out their personal credit cards (or write cheques, if they’re so inclined).
If they can’t afford to pay for the light them-selves, why don’t they set up a fund where people, especially those in their neighbourhood wanting the crosswalk light, can do-nate? They could go door-to-door!
Yes, you pay taxes and, yes, lives could be on the line, but that doesn’t mean you are suddenly granted the right to put greater bur-dens on everyone else who pays taxes.G. Dickson, Port Coquitlam

Laser may be the answer.
GOT PAIN?
Low intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Based on the genetic makeup of the cells, an individual’s response to LILT will vary to some degree.
What our patients say...Neck pain for 20 years“ I had tried so many other procedures before so I thought I’d give laser light a try as all others had failed. After a few sessions I was surprised from the relief I got. I would highly recommend this procedure as a solution, it really works.” D.D. (69)
Plantar Fasciitis“ I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur on my heel. I have been going for 4 weeks now and am almost all the way healed. The treatments are painless.” J.M. (52)
Knee Pain“ ...after just 7 sessions, I feel much better. I can now walk and go up and down stairs without pain at the end of the day.” G.L. (48)
Cold Sore“ I hadn’t been aware of laser for such an application, but I was delighted to see visible improvement after one treatment, and after the second, it was gone!” C.M. (64)
Inguinal Hernia Post Surgery“ I found the treatments alleviated acute pain after a hernia operation. I would recommend the procedure to anyone with pain or scars” GPA (55)
Frozen Shoulder Tendonitis“ I began a series of treatments on my shoulder and neck which I found to be relaxing and non-invasive. Ultimately I regained, almost completely, mobility in my left shoulder.” A.L. (69)
Best in art, film from SD43 high school students featured at Evergreen festival
EMERGING TALENT
JANIS WARRENTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
If you want to know what’s going on inside the head of a teenager, take a look at the Evergreen Cultural Centre’s latest ex-hibition.
Emerging Talent 18, which opened Monday, has 76 visual art pieces from dozens of graduating stu-dents in School District 43.
And, from what they show — and two of the Grade 12 artists tell — young people these days are just as sad and confused and anxious and lonesome as the last class heading off to university, work or travel.
Their artwork — much of it gritty and raw — conveys surreal and abstract images around bullying, depres-sion, body issues and teen angst. “There’s definitely a theme of transforma-tion,” said Laryn Van Dyk, assistant curator at the Art Gallery at Evergreen in Coquitlam. “It’s kind of an outlet of what they’re going through in their day to day life.”
Veronica Troughton and Justin Yoon confirm this.
Troughton, who is one of seven Port Moody sec-ondary students to have had their work accepted into the juried show by judges (and retired SD43 art teachers) Jerry Pietrasko, Keith Levang and Kelly Selden, has three pieces in Emerging Talent 18 — the most amount allowed for any one student.
Her multimedia sculp-ture, titled Static, speaks of adolescence and the loss of identity through technol-ogy. Her clay teen is sitting on a wooden “ladder” chair that reaches too far up; his face is being sucked off by a melting cellphone, in which the wires are wrapped around his body.
In Untitled Self, an as-signment under PMSS art teacher Judi Gardner, the IB student was tasked to inter-
view her friends to visually describe herself with their eyes. Troughton created a clay mask with a candle in the back to show warmth but with half a mime face: the glazed side being her shield; the unpainted side exposing her true self.
And in her charcoal drawing titled Half Empty, Troughton unveils a drowning woman with outreached hands; a pair of hands are coming out of the sky — one holding her leg, the other trying to grasp a hand. The work is intended
to represent emotional pains, the artist said, “and the feeling of drowning in-side. It’s very personal and I feel it’s something that a lot of people go through.”
Yoon, a Gleneagle sec-ondary student under art instructor Melanie Stokes,
who is organizing Emerging Talent 18, also has three works in the show: a por-trait of Beethoven (which he painted while listening to his Symphony No. 5); The Game, showing a panda — that is, Yoon — playing chess with the king piece
on his head, “to express the difficulties in my life,” he said; and Best Friend Jungho Kim, whom Yoon connected with frequently back in his native country of Korea after he immi-grated in 2012. The water-colour painting helps to
cheer him up when he feels alone and “depressed,” said Yoon, who has already been accepted to OCAD this fall, with the intention to be a graphic artist.
For her part, Troughton feels honoured to be part of the group display. “It’s just a really great opportunity to have a gallery exhibit and have your work out there for the first time,” said the prospective UBC under-grad, who plans to pursue a career in architecture.
Meanwhile, during the Emerging Talent 18 open reception on Saturday between 2 and 5 p.m., Evergreen will also show 10 new and original film shorts for Emerging Talent Festival 4.
Port Moody and Centennial secondary stu-dents are the only entrants this year, and each short will be screened three times during the reception. The filmmakers and films are:
• Sam Mohseni: The Black Screen
• Sam Lai: Awake• Alyha Bardi: Deprived,
Bully PSA• John Castrejon:
Chances• Jenny Kim: Underrated• Andrew Elliot: Worksafe
PSA• Young Lee: Ink• and Rosie Hsueh:

• The opening reception for Emerging Talent 18 and Emerging Talent 4 Festival is on Saturday, Jan. 25 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). Speeches are at 2:30 p.m. from organizer Melanie Stokes and Evergreen Cultural Centre’s Jon-Paul Walden (executive director) and Gregory Elgstrand (vi-sual arts manager).

HERITAGE WOODS
JANIS WARRENTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Tony Award-winning musical about a group of misfits vying to win a contest will be mounted by nine Heritage Woods sec-ondary students this and next week.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee — a long one-act Broadway comedy that won Terry Fox secondary four provincial high school theatre awards in 2011 — will be staged on Jan. 23, 24, 30 and 31 at the Port Moody school.
Guest director Zelda Coertze, a 2008 Pinetree secondary graduate who received her PDP from Simon Fraser University
last year, is guest directing the production, of which a G-rate version will also be seen by Heritage feeder schools at two matinees.
Chosen last year by act-ing students under drama teacher Shanda Walters, Coertze was brought in over the summer.
And right after the teach-ers’ strike was over in mid-September, she got down to business, auditioned and picked her Grade 11 and 12 cast members.
Spelling Bee has a natural narrative that starts with an academically gifted group of teens placed under pres-sure in a Putnam Valley middle school in New York.
The six “unique” teens vie for the title in a bee that’s judged by three “unique” adults, who are also fulfilling their child-hood dreams, Coertze said.
Along the way, the char-acters go on a journey of self-discovery.
Spelling Bee has “every-thing for someone in musi-cal theatre,” said Walters, who is the show’s artistic
director. “There’s great storytell-
ing. The music is hard. The roles are really crazy…. and it’s funny. It’s rare that I laugh out loud and I do with this,” Walters said.
Besides directing, Coertze is also choreog-rapher with actors Valeria Sordi (assistant director) and Danica Kobayashi.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a prelude to Heritage’s big spring production, The Little Mermaid.
• Tickets at $12/$10 are available through Heritage Woods secondary (1300 David Ave., Port Moody) by calling 604-461-8679.

RAINBOW ART AT PM LIBRARYVISUAL ARTS
The visual artwork of Tri-City resident Parisa Shafazand and her Rainbow Artists will be on the walls of the Port Moody Public Library next month.
The Iranian-born artist paints in acrylics and oil
and uses mixed media for her creations.
Rainbow Artists is the title her young students chose for the library ex-hibit (100 Newport Dr.).
Shafazand tends to promote earth-friendly projects with them. “We
use lots of recycled stuff to create do-it-yourself projects. I look forward to teaching as well as learn-ing from my students as we all go through an artis-tic journey together,” said the graduate of Emily Carr University of Art+Design.

Tough finish for Tri-City hoop clubs AAA HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL
Riverside comes close, but fails to grab medalGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News
Tri-City teams were shutout at the Centennial Centaurs Top Ten Shootout AAA basketball tournament last weekend, with Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat defeating Langley’s Brookswood secondary in the finals.
The Riverside Rapids had the best showing of the local clubs in the tour-nament, just missing out on a medal after losing in the third-place game to Oak Bay on Sunday.
The Rapids came into the tournament ranked second in the province and had a good start. Riverside defeated Burnaby South 62-32 in the first game of the tour-nament on Thursday be-fore downing Handsworth 71-58 on Friday.
But the club ran into
some trouble against the No. 3 ranked Brookswood, who won 88-56 in a bout against the Port Coquitlam high schools quad.
That loss knocked Riverside out of first-place contention and set the stage for a game against Oak Bay to decide who would take third place
Despite a strong show-ing from the Rapids, the team could not manage a victory, falling 56-55 to the Vancouver Island squad.
Riverside was not the only Tri-City team to
participate in the tourna-ment.
The Gleneagle Talons finished tenth out of 16 teams, going 2-2 during last weekend’s matches.
The Coquitlam club struggled out of the gates, falling 57-27 to MEI sec-ondary, but bounced back against New Westminster with a 71-46 win on Friday.
Gleneagle kept up the pressure in their third game of the tournament, taking down Coquitlam rivals the Dr. Charles Best
secondary Blue Devils in a close 64-62 match.
But a 64-53 loss to Argyle secondary knocked the Talons down in the final tournament stand-ings.
Charles Best finished right behind Gleneagle in 11th place.
The Coquitlam club struggled early in the tour-nament, losing 56-49 in the first game of the event. A forfeit from Burnaby South in the second match gave Charles Best its first victory of the tournament,
before it sustained its loss to Gleneagle.
However, the club managed to finish strong, taking down Claremont secondary 74-61 in the last match.
Centennial secondary, the host of the tourna-ment, finished the tourna-ment in 15th place.
The club lost 62-21 to Oak Bay, 66-47 against Argyle, 63-49 against Lord Tweedsmuir before de-feating Johnson Heights 80-39.

Both Centennial second-ary’s boys and girls curling teams were victorious last weekend during the local play downs, winning the high school zone champion-ship and paving the way for trips to the provincial finals.
For the boys, a team made up of Ryan Harbrink, Hayato Sato, Kevin Harbrink, and Kento Sato, it is the fourth year in a row that the rink has made it to the provincials, which will be held in Creston next month.
The squad started the event with a win over Maple Ridge, before defeating-
Centennial Blue, the high school’s second rink, in the second draw of the tourna-ment.
In the final draw, the rink took down Riverside to win the zone championships.
On the girls’ side, a rink
made up of Heather Drexel, Yuxin Zhang, Catera Park, and Angela Lin, the team was also undefeated.
They posted wins against Thomas Haney and Chilliwack before a final vic-tory against a second rink
from Centennial.This is the first time in the
history of the school’s curl-ing program that a rink from both the girls and boys side are heading to the provincial championships at the same time.

Panthers’ prospects
PJHL HOCKEY
Two members of the Port Moody Panthers will get an opportunity to show off their skills at the upcoming Pacific Junior Hockey League Prospects Game next week.
Daniel Szpakowski and Cameron Obsecna have been chosen to represent the Tom Shaw Conference team during an event that will be held at the Port Moody Arena.
Szpakowski is cur-rently in his first year with the Cats, where he has amassed 12 goals and nine assists in 35 games played. The 17-year-old Coquitlam player has seven multi-point games and has been a bright spot in the Panthers struggling lineup.
“Daniel is a perfect example of what we want our players to be and he’s very well deserving of being named to the PJHL Prospects Game,” said Port Moody Panthers general manager Frank Iantorno. “It’s also a great chance for him to showcase what he is as a player and why he de-serves to be looked at by scouts at higher levels.”
Obscena is another Panthers player that has seen a big improvement this year.
After registering one assist during five games last season, the 16-year-old Anmore skater has 12 points (eight goals, four assists) in 29 games as a full-time member of the squad.
