Belkorp wants garbage-sorting plant in Coq.Firm says technology would undercut incineration
By Jeff NagelBLACK PRESS
The firm that runs the Cache Creek landfill wants to build a $30-mil-lion highly mechanized plant in Coquitlam to pull recyclables from garbage before it’s dumped or incinerated.
And on Monday night,
Coquitlam city coun-cil said it would back its proposal, voting to send a letter to Metro Vancouver to call for ac-tion.
Coquitlam city man-ager Peter Steblin said the new plant would maximize recycling and reuse of material and help meet Metro’s waste diversion targets at no extra cost to resi-dents.
The plant would be built on 16 acres of in-dustrial land Belkorp o w n s o n U n i t e d
Boulevard. It would cre-ate 80 new green jobs and use technology in-creasingly in use in California.
B u t B e l k o r p Environmental Services is squaring off against Metro, saying it will only build the plant if the re-gional district backs down on imposing re-strictions on how mate-rial recovery facilities operate.
Its announcement is the latest shot by pri-vate industry across the bow of Metro’s strategy
to burn more garbage in waste-to-energy plants instead of dumping it in landfills.
Belkorp vice-presi-dent Russ Black said the proposed plant could process 260,000 tonnes of garbage per year — more than a quarter of Metro’s waste stream.
He estimates residual garbage in the region — even after intensive efforts to recycle — still consists of 36% recycla-ble material, much of it paper and plastics.

Mayor Ralph Drew said many residents of the village of Belcarra, a neighbour of the Kinder Morgan terminal, have con-cerns about increased noise and lights that could potentially come from additional container traffic.
Few changes to councillor disclosure statements
By Janis WarrenThe Tri-CiTy News
Public papers revealing what Tri-City politicians own and owe were re-leased by the three mu-nicipalities last week.
And two new names were added to financial disclosure documents, resulting from last fall’s byelection in Coquitlam.
Under the Financial Disclosure Act, elected city officials’ assets, li-abilities and sources of income must be released on Jan. 15.
Still, they don’t offer a whole lot of insight into their personal dealings: Mortgages or money bor-rowed for household and living expenses need not be listed on the provincial forms, for example. And they aren’t required to disclose what land they own outside of the com-munity unless they’re seeking provincial office.
Like last year, the 2014 forms indicate the three Tri-Cities’ mayors have external jobs be-sides their city, Metro Vancouver and TransLink gigs: Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart is the proprietor of Stewart Communications; Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who also chairs the Metro board, is the owner of Livable Region Consulting Inc.; and Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay works for Tero Consulting and owns TTS Automation Inc., a com-puter consulting business.
As for the two new Coquitlam city council-lors, Chris Wilson pulls a salary from Chris Wilson Enterprises, of which he’s the owner and sole pro-prietor, and as executive
director of KidSport. The former Olympian also owns the property beside his residence (he built both homes) and lists 47 companies — mostly in mining and energy — in which he’s a shareholder.
And newly elected Coun. Bonita Zarrillo has assets in six companies and draws an income from BZ3 Flexible Assets, a job placement firm she owns.
Other items of note: • Coquitlam Coun. Lou
Sekora is the president of a shell company that has no land or creditors; he also has assets in the Westside Preparatory Society, Jade Mine (Dease Lake) and KCM Energy Inc.;
• Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill is the writer, editor and corpo-rate secretary of Eureka Resources Inc., of which he’s a shareholder; and is a writer and editor with O’Neill Hotel and Resorts;
• Coquitlam Coun. Brent Asmundson, a bus driver with the Coast Mountain Bus Co., owns two properties on Burke Mountain, including his own residence;
• and Port Moody Coun. Rick Glumac owns shares in 26 corporations (including Dreamworks Animation SKG, which he worked for on Shrek 2, Madagascar and Over the Hedge).
The 2014 financial dis-closures are not posted online, which is not a requirement under the provincial act; however, the statements are avail-able for public viewing on weekdays at the city clerk’s [email protected]
CORRECTIONIncorrect information was published in The
Tri-City News Jan. 17, 2014 “Board votes to sell lands.” The board did not vote to swap Victoria Park land with Coquitlam but to “work with the City of Coquitlam to reach an agreement re-garding the nine lots.”
Belcarra seeks intervenor status for Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion
By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy News
Th e v i l l a g e o f Belcarra will be ap-plying for intervenor status in the federal re-view of the $5.4-billion Trans Mountain pipe-line expansion, the vil-lage council decided last week.
Mayor Ralph Drew said the village is a neighbour to the Kinder Morgan terminal and,
t h e r e -f o r e , would be affected by lights a n d n o i s e from ad-ditional
tankers.Residents are also
concerned about the im-pact an oil spill would have on marine life in the sensitive habitat of Central Burrard Inlet,
Drew said.He plans to raise con-
cerns about the need for a site-specific spill response plan to deal with oil leakage at the expanded Westridge Marine Terminal to pro-tect three parks and three habitat areas, including Belcarra Regional Park.
He wants pre-staged oil booms as well as a rapid response and con-tainment plan to ensure
that oil is cleaned up be-fore it destroys the eco-system, and recreation and economic uses of the waterway.
“There are 12 is-sues that the [National Energy Board] hearings will be focusing on. I easily identified five dif-ferent things that are applicable to us,” Drew said.
Belcarra has until Feb. 12 to file the appli-cation.

Two newrogers towers coming to Coq.
A n a r e a o f Coquitlam that has long been a “dead zone” for a wireless company will soon have better recep-tion.
And the deal w i t h R o g e r s Communications w i l l g e n e r a t e $26,000 a year for the city and its opti-cal network corpo-ration.
L a s t w e e k , council approved a n a g r e e m e n t with Rogers for two “Nova” tow-ers on the west s ide o f Como Lake Avenue and Mariner Way. The antenna towers will stand on the north and south corners and will hold street lights; they will also be twice the circum-ference of a regu-lar street light, ac-cording to a report.
The company will pay the city $7,000 annually for each pole plus $1,000 a month to QNet to lease the city’s underground cables.
QNet GM Rick Adams said be-cause the poles are under 15 m tall, public con-sultation isn’t re-quired.
The Rogers poles are the first to be negotiated under a new wireless protocol adopted by council in 2012 whose aim is to in-crease coverage as well as raise cash for the municipal-ity.
Recently, Rogers announced i ts plans to place tele-communications equipment inside the new bell tower at St. Andrew’s United Church in Port Moody.

National award given to Coquitlam principalPaul McNaughton recognized for work at CABE
By Diane StrandbergThE Tri-CiTy NEws
A School District 43 principal has been named one of Canada’s Outstanding Principals by an organization that fosters education leader-ship in the public educa-tion system.
L a s t T h u r s d a y, CABE principal Paul McNaughton got the news from the Learning Partnership and the first thing he thought was that somebody was try-ing to sell him something.
Then the news sank in and the veteran edu-cator was flattered and honoured that his staff at Coquitlam Alternative Basic Education school (CABE) in Coquitlam had nominated him.
“Any leader, when you get recognized for the work that you do, that’s the biggest honour you can get,” McNaughton said.
Leah Pells, a CABE c o u n s e l l o r , s a i d McNaughton deserved the award because he is an amazing “boss and mentor.”
“He gives all of his staff such autonomy with our students as at CABE we try to find more ways
to engage with our kids because the mainstream [school] has not worked,” Pells said in an email.
McNaughton has been principal at CABE since 2008 and has seen the number of graduates in-crease from 32 to 88 last year. The school only en-rols about 200 students, who come and go dur-ing the year, depending on their education needs. “We try to do things differently,” explained McNaughton, who said the school fosters rela-tionships, encourages students to learn at their own pace and offers flex-ible scheduling.
He is also apprecia-tive of his “fabulous” staff
and the board of educa-tion which supports the school, noting that “alter-native education is not cheap.”
For winning the Learning Partnership award, McNaughton will be treated to a gala din-ner in February and five days of leadership train-ing at the Rotman School for Management. He will then become a member of a National Academy of [email protected]

Coquitlam RCMP still seeking infoHe ran over to the
house to find the elderly woman, who he said lives at the home with her son and who often prays and walks in the yard, lying motionless on the ground.
“I saw her red scarf and her clothes sit-ting there so I immedi-ately knew it was her,” he said. “I went in the house to see if there was anybody there and I couldn’t find anybody so I ran back and took her vitals and then I started doing some CPR on her.”
He said the woman worked as a greeter at her son’s acupuncture business, which oper-ates out of the home.
Aust in remained closed for all of rush
hour and motorists were advised to avoid the area while police conducted their investi-gation.
A description of the suspect vehicle has not been released but police are hoping that anyone with information about the incident can call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number [email protected]

An 88-year-old woman was killed in a hit-and-run collision in the driveway of a home on Austin Avenue last Thursday.-
Four years for prolific offender nabbed after sports store robbery37-year-old Tyson Wagner of PoCo pled guilty last week
By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy NeWs
A man arrested in 2013 following a break-in at Blue Line Outdoor Sports in Port Coquitlam, in which an undisclosed number of weapons were stolen, has received four years in prison.
Tyson Wagner was al-ready deemed a prolific offender when police ar-
rested him last March on a number of charges, in-cluding break and enter, unauthorized possession of a firearm and posses-sion of stolen property.
Cpl. Scott Grimmer, a member of the Coquitlam RCMP’s pro-lific target team (PTT), said the sentence is an example of the effective-
ness of the Mounties’ crime reduction strategy.
Because the majority of crime in the detach-ment area is committed by a small number of people, it did not take long for investigators to narrow down the list of suspects.
“We provided Crown Counsel a complete and thorough police report,” he said. “Tyson Wagner has now pleaded guilty and received a four-year jail sentence.”
The incident dates back to Dec. 4, 2012, when police responded to a call at a shop next
door to the targeted business. Someone had gained entry into an elec-trical room, but nothing was stolen.
On Christmas Day 2012, Mounties again re-sponded to a call at the shop, but this time the thieves attempted to ram a stolen vehicle through an exterior wall of the building. They were un-able to get inside the store and the vehicle was abandoned a short dis-tance from the scene.
The final, success-ful attempt took place on the evening of Dec. 28. Wagner was spotted
on surveillance foot-age at the store earlier in the day, but left with-out making a purchase. Police spotted him again a week after the break-in hanging around the back of the business in the early morning hours of Jan. 7, 2013.
A month-and-a-half later, following an exten-sive investigation, police executed a search war-rant on Wagner’s PoCo home. Evidence related to the break-in at Blue Line was retrieved and the 37-year-old was ar-rested. [email protected]

He accuses Metro of deliberately hamstring-ing MRFs because their advanced sorting ma-chinery will pull too much paper and plastic out of the garbage, leav-ing insufficient combus-tible fuel to justify build-ing a costly new incin-erator.
He called on Metro to suspend its waste-to-energy strategy for five years while mixed-waste MRFs like the one Belkorp proposes are built and tested.
“Step back on this $500 million unnecessary expense,” Black urged of a possible second Metro incinerator. “Postpone it for five years. Let these facilities get up and run-ning. See if they can get what they claim they will get out of the waste stream. And then assess the need afterwards for incineration.”
Black said he sees room for three mixed-waste MRFs in Metro Vancouver — the pro-posed one in Coquitlam, one already mostly built by Northwest Waste
Solutions in South Vancouver and po-tentially a third one in Surrey, in addition to an-other in the Fraser Valley.
He argues all garbage should go through a MRF before it’s landfilled or burned to retrieve ma-terials.
“Our company phi-losophy now is we don’t want to take unpro-cessed waste to landfill.”
MRFs weren’t con-templated when Metro’s solid waste managme-ment plan was drawn up, but it calls for the region to maximize recycling and material recovery ahead of either landfill-ing or incineration.
Richmond Mayor
Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro’s zero waste committee, said he sees no reason to delay the waste-to-energy pro-
curement process, which could see Metro burn an additional 370,000 tonnes of garbage per year starting in 2018.
The regional district will begin optioning po-tential sites in the next few weeks.
Belkorp is trying to de-rail the strategy so more garbage might keep get-ting trucked to Cache Creek, he said.
Brodie said Metro’s new bylaw leaves enough room for MRFs to operate, and propo-nents who disagree prob-ably want to see their machines take over the
job of separating recy-clables from households.
“We’ve got a whole industry that has been generated because Metro Vancouver has insisted for 20 years on source separation,” Brodie said, adding a MRF-centred model could unravel years of recycling edu-cation efforts, result in more contamination of recyclables and undercut existing green industries.
“I have a hard time believing we can put the solution in private hands like that and it will get us to our goal.”
Company is trying to derail Metro’s waste-to-energy strategy, says Brodiecontinued from front page

Eagle Ridge docs heading to Olympics
By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy News
Two orthopedic sur-geons at Port Moody’s Eagle Ridge Hospital are heading off to Sochi, Russia next week to look after the medical health needs of the Canadian Olympic Team.
Dr. Bob McCormack will be the chief medi-cal health officer for the Canadian Olympic team and physician for the curling team while Dr. Dory Boyer will be work-ing with the bobsleigh, luge and skeleton teams.
Both surgeons are ex-perienced sports physi-cians who are looking forward to helping some of the biggest names in Canadian sports.
“It’s a rush to be at a place where people are performing at such a high level. This is where they come to achieve their hopes and dreams,” said Dr. Boyer, a Vancouver resident.
Dr. McCormack, a New Westminster resi-dent whose daughter calls him an “Olympic junkie,” is a frequent member of Canada’s medical team at inter-national events: He was Canada’s chief medical officer at the 2006 and 2010 Olympic Winter Games and at the 2008 S u m m e r O l y m p i c Games. In each role he was responsible for the medical preparedness of Canada’s Olympic Team.
Dr. Boyer has applied his skills as a physician and surgeon at a dozen multi-sport games, including the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, working with VANOC, and was in Russia this past summer for the World University Games.
Next Wednesday, they head to Russia to pre-pare for their job, leaving behind their practices at ERH and at Royal
Columbian Hospital in New Westminster.
It will be their chal-lenge to keep athletes and support staff healthy and injury-free — a dif-ficult job given the com-petitive nature of the athletes as well as the challenging winter con-ditions. “It’s trickier,” Dr. McCormack acknowl-edged. “There’s speed and the hard services and injuries are a big part of it.”
Neither is worried about about security, however, having already been to Russia numerous times. Both are confident the country is up to the challenge of providing a well-organized and secure Olympic winter games.
They’ll be living in dorms and eating the same buffet meals of-fered to the athletes. The working conditions for the volunteer postings aren’t glamourous, but there are perks.
They’ll be in the mid-dle of the action with a view of the games that few get to enjoy. It’s a thrill, both say, and they can’t get enough of it. “We get to watch the best athletes compete at the highest level possible and help the Canadian team reach their highest goals,” Dr. McCormack said.
And if Canada’s Winter Olympic athletes add to their 26-medal haul from four years ago, so much the [email protected]

VICTORIA
Neil Young’s anti-oilsands concert tour was the perfect distillation of the
American enviro-assault on its dependent northern neighbour that’s been going on for a decade or more.
After touring Fort McMurray in his electric car with actor-turned-protester Daryl Hannah, the 68-year-old Young covered all the big pro-paganda hits and added his own fantasy facts.
It looks like a war zone up there! Hiroshima! If it keeps going it will be like the Moon! There’s no reclamation! Tar sands oil is all going to China, and that’s why their air is so bad!
All of those statements are false. And then Young dropped his own nu-
clear bomb, claiming cancer rates in Fort Chipewyan are 30% higher than, well, somewhere else. Chief Allan Adam of the
Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation has cited a discredited study by former community doctor John O’Connor to press the same claim.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta reviewed O’Connor’s claims in 2009. It concluded that “Dr. O’Connor made a num-ber of inaccurate or untruthful claims” about cancer patients, and then refused to provide patient information after his claims made in-ternational news.
Retired professor David Schindler toured with Young and continued to push the health scare, referring darkly to newer research showing increased mercury and PAH (polycy-clic aromatic hydrocarbon) contamination.
When you peel back the propaganda and journalistic hype, these studies mainly reveal that such toxins are on the rise, but are found in much higher concentrations around large cities where fuel is consumed. The cancer claims were then debunked by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel in 2010.
This cancer scare is the most damaging and dishonest part of the selective attack on Alberta. The oil industry, politicians and most of the
media seem unwilling to examine it critically. Climate scientist-turned-politician Andrew
Weaver was at Young’s Toronto news con-ference. He says there were no questions for him, Adam or Young’s other validator, David Suzuki, who previously worked with Schindler on a slanted oilsands documentary for the CBC.
Weaver calculates that Young’s claim about greenhouse gas emissions is substantially cor-rect, if you include emissions from the finished fuels. Weaver refused any comment on the cancer claims.
Young included the obligatory sneering comparison between Stephen Harper and George W. Bush, which is another sign he’s lived in California too long. He seemed un-aware that the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau support contin-ued oilsands development.
As for moonscapes, Young could have driven his famous electric Lincoln from his Redwood City mansion on a hill to nearby Bakersfield, to view the greasy expanses of closely packed pumpjacks reaching to the
horizon, still expanding due to hydraulic frac-turing.
Young could have visited North Dakota, where the second shale oil train explosion luckily didn’t kill anyone. It seems there will be no remake of Young’s classic Kent State lament dedicated to 47 Dead in Old Quebec. That’s American oil, so no protests.
Chief Adam was frank in an interview on CTV about using the “Honour the Treaties” tour to strengthen his legal position. Young’s concert tour put $75,000 in his fund to pay law-yers. Oil isn’t the only thing being extracted here.
By the end of the tour Sunday, Young and Adam conceded they weren’t trying to shut the Athabasca oilsands down, just start a dialogue.
Thanks to uncritical media coverage, there will no doubt be discussions at dinner tables and in classrooms all over the world about the terrible Alberta tar sands and the cancer they don’t actually cause.

Pipeline debate: Old man take a look at your facts
Burke battleNews that the provincial government is selling 584
acres of land on Burke Mountain to pay off some bills may come as a shock to many people. Judging by comments on a recent Tri-City News story, many feel there’s already enough development creeping up the mountain into bear and wildlife habitat, while others think selling off Crown assets is a poor way to manage the budget.
But is there enough of a protest to get the B.C. gov-ernment to change their minds on selling this poten-tially valuable property?
In Port Moody, residents fought off the sale of Neighbourhoods 3 and 4 and, after a referendum, land that was slated for housing was turned into the 138-acre Bert Flynn Park.
Could that kind of a protest be mounted today?It would be a tough slog, indeed. Premier Christy
Clark was voted in on a jobs and balanced budget mandate and those assets are apparently necessary to meet her goals. As for Coquitlam, it will soon be con-sidering the northwest Burke Mountain development area — much of which the province owns — and envi-sions it supporting 8,000 people in the future.
If turning the bus around is not an option, Coquitlam residents must keep their foot on the gas pedal. They must be vigilant in ensuring that this undeveloped area is properly planned, with wildlife values kept in place and scrupulous attention to communicating these val-ues.
It cannot be “business as usual” on slopes this steep, so high into bear and cougar country. Council must not be swayed by short-term market conditions. If that land is to be properly developed, erosion control must be stringent and monitored, land for schools and other infrastructure must be in place, garbage must be tightly controlled, and parking and other measures built with low-impact on the land.
We trust the city has learned from its past mistakes on Burke and will ensure that if this land has to be developed it will be with the highest of environmental, community and social values in place.

The Editor, Re. “Down or up?”
(The Tri-City News, Jan. 17).
The 1 to 1.5% pro-posed tax increase for the aging Port Coquitlam recreation complex and seniors centre was poorly pre-sented in this year’s 2014 Budget at a Glance . One would question if it is a one-time levy or one that is carried over for a num-ber of years?
Is the city not put-ting the cart before the horse?
They have set aside $250,000 in this year’s budget for recreation complex site planning. So why not wait, find out the total construc-tion cost, put a budget together and then ask taxpayers for approval?
What they are ask-ing now is for taxpay-ers to give them a blank cheque and we will be told the final figures later.
What kind of budget-ing is this?
Not too many years ago, PoCo taxpayers got burned when the final cost of the Coast Meridian overpass came in much higher than projected.
Perhaps the city bud-geting department could further enlighten tax-payers as to how some of the finer budgeting details of this project will unfold.Al Williams Port Coquitlam
$25 ISN’T MUCHThe Editor,
I applaud Mayor Greg Moore, coun-cil and all those staff people who worked on creating the compre-hensive flyer on the pro-posed 2014 Budget at a Glance.
This flyer was handed out to all present at the Jan. 13 PoCo council meeting. I liked the dia-gram with the pie chart where it shows where our tax dollars are spent. It is a great visual aid.
I found it amazing that current property taxes are expected to decrease by 0.34%. I am even more impressed to see that PoCo is engag-ing and asking the citi-zens for feedback on a
proposed property tax increase, as well as ask-ing how we want our tax dollars spent.
In my opinion, asking
for an increase of ap-proximately $25, or 1 to 1.5% on property taxes, doesn’t seem like an unreasonable amount
to be seeking. I believe money destined to be spent on replacing the well-used, aging PoCo recreation complex and seniors centre is money well spent. Countless families in the commu-nity will benefit from this enhancement.
I can also think of a couple of other places I would like to see my tax dollars spent. I have ex-pressed these by filling in the survey and sub-mitting it online.
Please consider hav-ing your voice heard by Jan. 31 by providing your feedback to the city.
This concept of ask-ing for public input is democratical ly the right thing to do. Nancy McCurrachPort Coquitlam
TRI-CITYTRI-CITY LETTERSMore rec centre cost info needed before tax increase

A draft Port Coquitlam budget is calling for a 0.34% prop-erty tax decrease. However, if residents choose, a 1 to 1.5% increase will be added to go toward the replacement of the PoCo Recreation Complex.

By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy News
A group of high school students who used to spend more time out of the classroom than in say a welcoming envi-ronment and a learn-at- your-pace style of teach-ing that incorporates Aboriginal culture is keeping them on track to graduate.
The s tudents in Grade 6 to 12 attending School District 43’s new Suwa’lkh School in the former Millside elemen-tary in Coquitlam said they look forward to a day of learning where they used to avoid it.
JJ Jay, whose heritage is Metis, had sketchy at-tendance at Gleneagle secondary where he still plays rugby. The structure of his old school didn’t suit him, nor did the rules, and the feeling that he could never measure up.
“I didn’t like it,” Jay says of his old school where he sometimes felt labeled as That Kid. At Suwa’lkh, Jay said he feels valued, a senti-ment shared by many of his peers who said they sometimes felt lost at the bigger schools but feel like part of a family at the smaller school.
There are only 45 stu-dents attending school at Suwa’lkh, although principal Laurie Ebenal hopes to enrol up to 100 in the coming years. She said Suwa’lkh has made great strides in attract-ing students from other schools because it offers a full-range of academics as well as electives such as PE, music and art.
“It’s a school of choice,”
Ebenal explained. “They make the choice to come. I don’t take a kid until they choose to come.”
The difference be-tween Suwa’lkh and a typical high school or middle school is notice-able as soon as you walk in to the second-floor classrooms. You can smell lasagna cooking — the students plan, shop and cook for the school — there are cedar boughs in the band room, native art on the wall and large dream catchers hanging from the ceiling.
Downstairs, First Nations carver Rick Harry is showing a group of students how to mea-sure up a yellow cedar log to carve a totem pole
and, in a counselling of-fice, an abalone shell filled with the ashes of sweetgrass, cedar, sage and tobacco sits on a table next to a feather. It’s used by teachers when students ask for a “smudging” to “cleanse” themselves according to native teaching.
It’s this potent mix of Aboriginal culture that intrigues students and keeps them coming back. Faith Adams, whose heri-tage is Sto:lo, does animal card readings both as a way to get in touch with her spiritual side and to get marks for English.
“It’s part of my culture,” she said. “I believe you can look at an animal and take a story away from it.”
Ebenal said the school is a prime example of the province’s personal-ized learning mandate. Students do project-based learning in their areas of interest, and the school strives to meet their individual needs and goals.
For Emily West, the school is both a safe haven and a safety net. She was in danger of not graduating after missing so many classes. Now after a year and a half at Suwa’lkh, she’s one of the leaders, who has fi-nally found her footing. She has learned to play the guitar and do pot-tery, helps plan, shop and cook hot lunches for stu-dents and is doing well in her academics.
“They were like me,” she said of the other stu-dents. “They were ready to do right and focus on themselves.”
It’s rare for Suwa’lkh to lose a student and the school is helping SD43 achieve a 90% gradu-ation rate, one of the highest for aboriginal students in the province. And the name fits well — Suwa’lkh means First Beginning and for many students it is.

PoCo heritage seeking waterfront photos, artifactsThe PoCo Heritage
Society is gearing up for a new museum display at the end of the month and is turning to members of the community for help.
Photographs, stories and artifacts related to Port Coquitlam’s water-front are being sought
for the Heritage Afloat exhibit, which will run for six months beginning at the end of January.
The society is particu-larly interested in infor-mation about two pio-neers, who were promi-nent figures on the rivers in PoCo’s early days.
“We are struggling to find information on Capt. Bill Benneck, who ran the ferry here in PoCo and also Walter Oliver, who ran the Pitt Lake Express,” said society president Pippa VanVelzen in an email. “So if anyone has info on these two people,
that would be terrific.”The display will co-
incide with Heritage BC Week (February 17 to 23), which is following the same theme.
Anyone willing to loan the society photos, artifacts, articles or in-formation about Port
Coquitlam’s waterfront can get in touch with VanVelzen at [email protected] or call 604-927-8403.
For more information go to www.pocoheritage.org or www.heritagebc.ca/[email protected]

Second artist in residence
Port Coquitlam’s second artist-in-residence started last week at Leigh Square Community Arts Village.
V a n c o u v e r - b a s e d Bernadine Fox will be creat-ing paintings until March 18 as well as leading an assem-blage workshop on March 4. She will also speak about her work on March 8 for International Women’s Day.
To follow Fox’s progress, visit her weekly blog at ber-nadinesblog.blogspot.ca.
ART FOCUS DEMOA Port Coquitlam art group
that hosts monthly demon-strations for the public will hear from Lalitta Hamill next Wednesday.
A member of the Canadian Federation of Artists, Hamill will show her compositional skills of light and dark to achieve colourful, representa-tional paintings.
The Jan. 29 event is free and starts at 7 p.m. in the Outlet at Leigh Square Community Arts Village (be-hind PoCo city hall).
EVERGREEN ARTArtists have until Jan. 29 to
apply for new installations in and around Evergreen Line stations in Coquitlam.
The city has issued the call for public artworks at four stations. Pieces may be stand-alone or enhance walls and plazas like benches and bike racks, tiling or paving. Visit coquitlam.ca/bidopportunities for more information.
For dozens of Tri-City art stu-dents, Sunday will be the first time they’ll showcase their
skills in a public setting.It’s a concept some view with trepi-
dation but, for others, they welcome the opportunity to build their portfo-lios as they prepare for post-second-ary institutions.
Take Jensen Tung, for example. He’s a Heritage Woods second-ary student in Port Moody who had three of his short films accepted into the third annual Emerging Talent Festival, which runs Sunday afternoon at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way).
Tung directed, wrote and edited all three, acted in two (Catch The Girl and Iron Fist: The Arrival) and, during the production of From Me To You, he took on the role as camera operator as well.
“Having my films shown at the Evergreen Emerging Talent Festival is very important to me as it is a great
opportunity for my work to be no-ticed by the public,” Tung told The Tri-City News. “Film is meant to be shown and enjoyed by an audience so this festival is a great way to do just that.”
For the curated film event, judges Fred Ewanuik (Corner Gas, Dan For Mayor), Matthew Clarke (Convos With My 2-Year-Old) and Matthew Kowalchuk (Lawrence & Holloman) will be audience and will award prizes for best film, director, editor, cinematographer, performer and screen playwright.
As well, the crowd will get a chance to pick their favourite of the 11 shorts screened in the studio the-atre.
Still, it won’t just be film under the limelight at Emerging Talent.
The fest will also serve as the offi-cial opening for Emerging Talent 17, a Grade 12 art exhibit juried by retired art teachers Jerry Pietrasko, Eunice Hodge and Keith Levang plus Tri-City artist Mandara Lebovitz.
The show runs until Feb. 27 and patrons can vote on the People’s
Choice Award (the winner will be an-nounced in early March).
Dr. Charles Best secondary’s Harper Eskuri, 18, has two pieces on the gallery walls: My Younger Brother (watercolour) and My Beating Heart (acrylic).
The former is a painting of her 15-year-old brother when he was a baby. “I wanted to show how similar the two versions of him are — yet how much one can change from a baby to adulthood,” said Eskuri, who has been creating since childhood.
“In painting the portrait, I saw details of his face that had carried on to ado-lescence that I had not noticed before, such as the curves of his nose or the shape of his chin.”
By contrast, Stephanie Nguyen — an 18-year-old student at Gleneagle secondary — only took up the paint brush last summer. Nguyen has three works on display for Emerging Talent 17: Louder Than Words (a triptych acrylic on canvas that was featured on The News’ Things To Do page last Friday); Nature or Nurture? (a ce-ramic bust); and What Happened to the Roses? (a mixed media sculpture).
Nguyen attributes her growth as an artist to her Gleneagle teachers, Mike McElgunn and Melanie Stokes, and to Don Portelance, a retired Centennial art teacher who now in-structs gifted students at Place des Arts.
Besides visual art and film, attend-ees of the Emerging Talent Festival will also hear songs from Port Moody secondary’s Julia Montgomery and Tati Adry, a musical duo.
Rick Rinder is the new manager for Terry Fox Theatre, which is attached to Terry Fox sec-ondary school in Port Coquitlam.

GLEANAGLE JAZZ, CUISINE Gleneagle secondary music students are getting ready for the Coquitlam high school’s sixth annual jazz dinner next month. The gala includes an Italian meal by chefs Frank Abbinante and Roberto Arciaga and students in their culinary program. Among the guest professional performers are Alan Matheson (trumpet and piano), David Branter (saxophone) and Rob McKenzie (trombone). Proceeds from the semi-formal night on Feb. 28 will support the school’s culinary arts and music de-partments. Tickets at $40 are now on sale via gleneagle.org (click on “Jazz Gala Tickets”) or at the school, located at 1195 Lansdowne Dr. Pictured from left to right: Sepehr Rashidi, Sina Maloufi, Ashley Ashrafian, Clayton Dowdell, Ronald Nazal (on drums), Cassidy Stahr, Lexi Burgess and Nicholas Chew.
A new theatre manager for Fox
Terry Fox Theatre has a new man-ager.
And he’s looking for volunteers to give him a hand to run the Port Coquitlam venue that’s attached to the high school on Riverwood Gate.
Maple Ridge resident Rick Rinder, who started on the job last November, said he’s starting from scratch and would like ushers, front-of-house staff and technical and web support from the community.
A Banff School of Arts-trained performing stage manager for 35 years — including at the Vancouver Playhouse and at various arts centres around Western Canada — Rinder replaces the Port Coquitlam Theatre Society (formerly known as the
Theatre Advisory Group, or TAG), a non-profit group that had a rocky re-lationship with School District 43 and bowed out of its operating agreement last June.
Rinder said his vision is to create a balance between the school’s needs and community bookings for the 336-seat theatre.
And he has has some big plans in mind for partnerships with the school such as launching a state-of-the-art stagecraft program.
“We have such a beautiful the-atre here and it’s a shame the school doesn’t have a course that teaches youth how to design and build sets,” he said. “They can use that experience as they go on for further education such as Capilano University.”
MacLean scores Annie roleA young Port Moody singer will
be playing the part of Annie in the Royal City Musical Theatre’s 25th anniversary show this spring.
Julia MacLean won the lead role in the production, which runs at the Massey Theatre from April 10
to 26. And, to promote the upcom-ing presentation, MacLean will be opening the Variety 48th Show of Hearts telethon on Saturday, with the song Tomorrow.
As well, RCMT will be donating $5 of every ticket sold during the
telethon to Variety. Tickets to Annie can be bought through royalcity-musicaltheatre.com.
The telethon runs over 22.5 hours, from 7 p.m. on Saturday to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
While some Coquitlam businesses aren’t faring well with the Evergreen Line con-struction, a few are capitalizing on the chaos.
Driving Miss Daisy, a transportation ser-vice for seniors, will be offering the elderly a ride to the play with the same name — a production by the Arts Club Theatre On Tour that’s putting its drama/comedy into gear at the Evergreen Cultural Centre next week.
With the parking lot torn up at the Coquitlam venue for the terminus station, the service teamed up with Evergreen Cultural Centre to get older patrons to the show safely. In turn, the facility will have discounted tickets to any new customers of Driving Miss Daisy who book a ride.
But, Evergreen staff warn, reservations must be done fast as some shows are almost sold out.
Currently playing at the Surrey Arts Centre, Driving Miss Daisy stars Nicola
Lipman as the Southern matriarch and John Campbell as her chauffeur, with a story-line that follows the pair over 25 years. The film version with Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman took Oscars for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay in 1990.
Lipman told The Tri-City News the Arts
Club touring production has been well-re-ceived, with a mix of demographics in the crowd — many of whom have fond memo-ries of the Hollywood blockbuster.
She enjoys suburban arts venues. “There are these beautiful theatres in the Lower Mainland,” she said. “People shouldn’t have to come into Vancouver to see theatre be-cause it develops the cultural community in their own community by feeling it’s theirs.”
Lipman, who will be performing for the first time in Coquitlam, added, “I like touring and being in a different place every night, and a different audience that has a different take on things. It’s very interesting.”
• Driving Miss Daisy runs from Jan. 28 to Feb. 1 at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). For tickets at $39/$30/$15, call the box office at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca. To book a car service and tickets directly, call Driving Miss Daisy at 778-237-7433 or email [email protected]. Meanwhile, there will be a pre-show chat with Brian Linds, who plays Miss Daisy’s son.

The Tri-Cities have been able to enjoy Mongolian BBQ since September of 2009. Since then, delighted diners have been creating their own taste treats and having them cooked up right in front of them at King’s Mongolian Grill.
This Month however a transformation has
taken place. You can still enjoy the fabulous food here, but the restaurant itself has changed hands! It is now called Sun Mongolian Restaurant and is under new ownership. Not only has the name changed, the interior has undergone a facelift and the exterior
sports a bright new sign!That’s not all that has
changed. The prices are lower and there are also more items to choose from when you create your master piece!
This isn’t just eating, it’s fun! First you choose your weapon. At lunch, pick a Small Bowl (from $5.99),a medium ($6.99) a large bowl ($7.99) or All You Can Eat ($11.99). The All You Can Eat includes soup, salad and rice.
At dinner, (after 4:30 pm) All You Can Eat is $13.99, but when you dine-in, not only do you get get salad, rice, and soup, but also shrimp chips, pineapple and veggie spring rolls. You can also choose a Small Bowl (from $7.99)or a large bowl 9.99).
A Kids Bowl is also available for $3.99 at lunch or dinner. (5 years or under)
Take-out is available as well, for the Medium and Large Bowls. Once you’ve chosen your bowl size, you can pick between Lamb,
Pork, Beef and Chicken, Tofu and now seafood (for an additional $2.99/100 grams),(or some of each) and 15 types of veggies, as well as rice and egg noodles.
Now for the best part! The sauces! 15 to choose from! Mix and match to create your own, or try one of their Special combos. I like to experiment!
Hand over your choices to the chef who coats the piping hot grill with low in fat sesame oil, does some cool tossing and stirring with a set of over sized chop sticks, and voila! In 10 to 20 seconds your masterpiece is complete.
This is “fast food” but it’s also healthy. They create all their own sauces from scratch, none of them with MSG. The vegetables arrive daily from their supplier and are always freshly chopped just before serving. Vegetarians and Diabetics will also love this place as you get to choose what goes on your plate and in your sauce, so there are no surprises.
The new owners have also added some daily specials:Monday - High school Students get 5% OffTuesday - Seniors Save 5%Wednesday - Vegetarian Bowls are 5% Off Thursdays - Kids Under 5 eat free.
If you have yet to try the new Sun Mongolian Grill, make it your next dining adventure. You’ll fi nd it tucked in between Europe Bakery and City Hall, in downtown Port Coquitlam. You’re sure to enjoy the experience almost as much as the cuisine.
With this Coupon. Not valid with other offers. Offer expires Feb. 28/2014.

Things are begin-ning to click for the Coquitlam Express. The Express turned in a dominating performance in a 7-2 rout over the Trail Smoke Eaters dur-ing a Sunday matinee at Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.
J e r e m y M c N e i l staked the Smokeys to a 1-0 lead two minutes into the game but from there it was all Express. Corey Mackin pulled Coquitlam even a minute later and Canon Pieper put the Express on top just two minutes after that.
Express coach Barry Wolff said the flu is going through the Trail lineup and they looked tired playing their third game in three days.
“They got a couple APs [affiliated players] in the lineup. As much as our guys worked hard to get the win, sometimes you take advantage of your opponent,” said Wolff, whose Express took a 5-1 lead into the third period and outshot Trail 35-30.
Mackin notched a pair for Coquitlam while Joey Santucci supplied a goal and two assists. Marc Biega and Zach Hodder each had a goal and an assist, with singles going to Daniell Lange and Canon Pieper. Adam Rockwood and Cody Boyd each netted a pair of assists.
“We played four lines the whole night and all four lines were going,” said Bo Pieper, who assisted on brother Canon’s goal. “I think all four lines added in a goal so that’s always good. It always helps out when all four are going.”
The win was the fourth straight for the Express, their longest streak of the season.
The Express doubled
the Chiefs 6-3 Saturday night in Chilliwack, a day after they stopped the Chiefs 4 -2 in Coquitlam.
“We’ve got a little streak and sometimes it’s all confidence,” said Wolff, who thinks the team has become stronger with the addi-tion of defencemen J.D. Cotroneo and Mark Whiteley at the trad-ing deadline earlier this month.
“We’re just elimi-nating mistakes and we’re learning. Some of the personnel that we shipped out just hurt us at times, with bad goals against just cause of simple turnovers. Now we’re moving the puck and eliminating those mistakes.”
Canon Pieper, Cody Boyd, Nicholas Rasovic and Jace Hennig did the damage for the Express Friday. Canon Pieper
had two goals and two assists against the Chiefs Saturday while brother Bo also chipped in a pair of goals. Hennig and Cameron Marks also scored for the Express, who got two assists from Boyd.
Th e w i n s c a m e without Express cap-tain Ryan Rosenthal, who was injured in Coquitlam’s 7-3 win over the Surrey Eagles last Wednesday.
“He’s got a par-tial collapsed lung,” said Wolff, adding Rosenthal had surgery on Saturday and hopes to have a better idea on how long he will be out of the lineup after he sees the doctor again this week.
Rosenthal scored twice in the win over the Eagles, with Canon Pieper and Mackin also netting a pair. Hennig had the other Express
goal while Rockwood had four assists and Hodder and Bo Pieper both recorded a pair of helpers.
The Express host the Merritt Centennials Friday at 7 p.m., their last contest at the Poir ier Sport and Leisure Complex for more than two weeks as they head out on an eight-game swing on the [email protected]
Panthers scratch out pair of wins heading into stretch driveThe Port Moody
Panthers are getting hot at the right time. The Panthers have reeled off a pair of wins as the Pacific Junior Hockey League heads into the final three weeks of the regular season.
The Panthers stopped the North Delta Devils 5-2 in Port Moody. That win came on the heels of a 4-2 victory over
the visiting Grandview Steelers Saturday night.
Adam Rota had a goal and two assists in Saturday’s win while Rayne Schwinghammer added a goal and an assist and Nicco Marconato and Kurt Sonne chipped in sin-gles. Christian Plain was strong in the Panthers’ net, turning aside 29 shots as the Steelers out-
shot Port Moody 31-21. Rota, Schwinghammer, Marconato, Wolfgang S c h o e n e f u h s a n d Sammy Zeinab supplied the offence Monday.
The Panthers travel to Aldergrove Wednesday to take on the first-place Kodiaks.
Port Moody now has 20 points in 38 games, one point back of the fourth-place Mission
City Outlaws. A possible playoff
berth could be on the line when the Panthers hos t the Out laws Saturday at 7:45 p.m.
“We’ve started to make some progress now and that’s going to be our home run game,” said Panthers coach and GM Jamie Jackson.
“We’re going to have to put a couple more
wins together but that will be a big one for us.”
But the Panthers will be without their leader on the blue-line for the stretch drive. Daniel Delbianco has signed with the Chilliwack Chiefs of the B.C. Hockey League.
Delbianco, a 19-year-old Coquitlam product, led the Panthers in scor-ing with 19 goals and
33 assist in 29 games when he signed with Chilliwack earlier this month. He has put up one assist in five games with the Chiefs.
Delbianco, whose 12 power play goals was tied for the lead in the PJHL at the time of his signing, is no stranger to the BCHL, spend-ing most of the 2011/12 season with the Alberni
Valley Bulldogs.“Daniel’s signing with
Chilliwack leaves a void on our roster no doubt, but at the end of the day, moving players up to a higher level is our ulti-mate goal,” said Jackson. “We wish Daniel noth-ing but the best with the Chiefs and thank him for everything he’s done for the Panthers this sea-son.”
