Condolences are pouring in for the PortMoody man killed in a crash Sunday mor-ning. While police have not officially iden-tified the victim, various posts on socialmedia have identified him as Stephen Faoro,a football coach with Centennial Secondaryin Coquitlam and a former CFL player.

Most recently, he plied his football skillswith the Bellingham Bulldogs, a minorleague team south of the border.

“Everybody is devastated. No one expect-ed it,” said Don Oneida, the Bulldogs’ gen-eral manager. He described Faoro as “hardworking” and “team oriented” and said hewas well-liked by his teammates.

“He was a great guy, a friend and brotherto most of the players on the team,” Oneidatold the Tri-Cities NOW on Monday.

Wearing jersey No. 45, Faoro played sev-eral seasons with the minor league team,winning the Pacific Football League cham-pionship in 2013.CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Close to a century’s worthof collective experienceis gone from the SchoolDistrict 43 trustee table, asSaturday’s vote saw dramaticchanges in the compositionof the board.

Both chair MelissaHyndes and vice-chair HollyButterfield are gone, alongwith Coquitlam incumbentsGail Alty and Gerri Wallis.

“I was pretty shocked andupset, but it is what it is,”Hyndes said Tuesday. “Thevoters spoke, so the newboard will carry on and Iwish them all the best in theirterm.”

Hyndes attributedSaturday’s turnover to whatshe characterized as a con-certed effort on the part ofCUPE and the NDP to seechanges take place in themakeup of the board.

CUPE Local 561 presidentDave Ginter said at a teach-ers’ protest in the summer

that the union had lost confi-dence in the current board.

“The CUPE union had avow to usurp the board and,I think, along with a move-ment from the NDP, theywere successful in doing so,”Hyndes said.

Both Alty and Wallis werefirst elected in 1993, whileHyndes was chair for 11 ofher 12 years on the board.Butterfield served for close totwo decades.

The retirements of out-going trustees Brian Robinson

and John Keryluk — whohad about three decades ofexperience between them —further underscores the mas-sive shifts seen Saturday.

The most significant chan-ges came in Coquitlam.

Diane Sowden topped allCoquitlam vote getters with8,594, and was the lone trust-ee incumbent re-elected inthat city.

Newly elected trusteesinclude Carol Cahoon, ChuckDenison and former trusteeBarb Hobson.

“I think what really res-onated with people was myconcern about the financialsituation in the school dis-trict and the fact that I havesome concrete ideas aboutthe changes that need to bemade for us to get things backon track,” Hobson said.

The current DPAC chair,Denison said he ran on acampaign of trust and com-mitment.

“Voters were looking topeople who are there for theright reasons, because it’s a

huge commitment of energyand time,” he said. “Votersneed people who are therefor the right reasons.”

In Port Moody, incumbentKeith Watkins retained hisseat and is joined by new-comer Lisa Park. Judy Shirrawas re-elected in PoCo, along-side rookie trustee MichaelThomas.

“We need to get up to speedwith all the financial in thedistrict, that’s the No. 1 big-gest item — getting a handleon everything financially,”

Thomas said.“I’d like to hear directly

from principals and differ-ent teachers around the dis-trict because they’re the oneswho are in touch with what’sgoing on.”

Kerri Palmer-Isaak will rep-resent Anmore/Belcarra andsteps away from her six-yeartenure as an Anmore coun-cillor.

That shift was a consciousdecision on her part, as shehas two kids still in the edu-cation system.

Like every other new trust-ee who spoke to the Tri-CitiesNOW, she said balancing thebooks is task No. 1.

“I don’t really believe inbudgeting without a veryaggressive strategic plan, soI think that’s something thatwe need to formulate as anew board and then makesure our budget comes in linewith that,” she said.

The new chair and vice-chair positions will be decid-ed upon at the inauguralboard meeting on Dec. 9.

His GM said he also played in parts of the2014 season.

The team’s Facebook page was filled withmessages about Faoro, including: “#45 youwill be devastatingly missed, we are so blessedto have called you not just a friend, but family.We all loved and adored you so very much.”

Oneida said some of his Bulldogs teammateswant to come back next year to make a cham-pionship run in his name.

Faoro, a one-time allCanadian for Acadia Universityin the CIS, was also on theHamilton Tiger-Cats practiceroster in 2007.

He also represented Canadaat the 2011 World SeniorFootball Championships.

This year, Faoro was volun-teering as a football coach atCentennial.

The school’s principalRob Zambrano, who taughtFaoro in Grade 11 at PinetreeSecondary, described the coachas having a bigger-than-life personality and apassion for football.

“He really did want to give back. He wasquite eager,” he said, adding Faoro had plansto be more involved with the team next yearas a defensive coordinator.

Zambrano said the school has been provid-ing counselling to the football team this week,including a trained therapy dog.

“He was very connected to his peers. As acoach, I also think the students were very con-nected to him,” he said, adding it was evidentFaoro had touched their lives positively.

The principal also noted the school is con-sidering ways to honour Faoro.

Others in the local football community arealso remembering Faoro.

“I’ve known Steve since he was born becauseI played football with his dad [at UBC],” saidBernie Crump, a teacher at Pinetree and pres-ident of BC High School Football.

“As a person he was one of the most posi-tive, infectious kids in the locker room. He

commanded attention, yet he’d be the guyseeking out the weaker, new players to helpthem in whatever [way] they needed.”

Crump noted Faoro coached at Pinetree,Centennial and helped coach at SFU, alwaysgiving back.

“When the accident happened I was gettingtexted from Pinetree players that he playedwith, then I’d get texts from players five,six years younger who were asking if it wasCoach Faoro ... He had an influence on a lot

of people,” Crump said.On Sunday, police and emer-

gency crews were called to the2400 block of David Avenuejust past midnight after a truckcrashed down an embankmentnear the Noons Creek Bridge.

The sole occupant died at thescene, while a crane was calledin to recover the vehicle.

The road was shut downon Sunday for more than 12hours.

A makeshift memorial hasstarted to grow as friends andacquaintances have come by to

visit the scene.Though no one wanted to go on the record,

Faoro’s friends described him as driven andhard working.

While the crash is still under investigation,Port Moody police have suggested speed mayhave played a role.

“It’s a fairly unusual spot,” said Port Moodypolice spokesman Const. Luke van Winkel.“There are a number of safety things aroundthat would make it more difficult [for avehicle to go off the embankment]. Part of it[the truck leaving the roadway] is because ofthe size of the vehicle.”

Van Winkel also offered a general reminderfor drivers at this time of year.

“There’s frost on the ground, the lighting ispoor — please slow down, give yourself lotsof time to get to your destination and do yourbest to be safe,” he said.

Police are asking anyone who may have wit-nessed the crash to call 604-461-3456.

Loss of Steve Faoromournedbymany

Voter turnouts riseJeremy [email protected]

The numbers aren’t exactlyjaw dropping, but if gettingpeople to the polls in civicelections is a major goal,turnout over the weekend inthe Tri-Cities is a good placeto start.

All three Tri-Cities com-munities managed to increasevoter turnout compared to2011, with Port Moody mark-ing the biggest jump.

The city recorded 35 percent voter turnout, comparedto 26 per cent in 2011.

City spokesperson DaveTeixeira suggested part of theincrease was due to a spiritedrace for mayor between MikeClay and Gaetan Royer.

However, he said the city

wants to continue to lookat ways to improve voterengagement and turnout.

“Having one in threepeople show up is nothing tocelebrate, but certainly some-thing to build upon,” Teixeirasaid.

This election also had thehighest voter turnout since2002, when 44 per cent ofeligible residents turned outto the polls.

The numbers were also upin PoCo, where 26 per centof eligible voters made theirway to the polls in the elec-tion, an increase from 21 percent in 2011.

“The city is pleased withour voter turnout rate of26 per cent, a five-per-centincrease from the 2011 elec-

tion,” said Carolyn Deakin,the city’s chief election offi-cer, in a statement. “We thankthe close to 10,000 peoplewho made time on Saturdayor in the advance polls to casttheir vote as it’s a fundamen-tal right and responsibilitywe have as citizens.”

It was a similar result inCoquitlam.

Voter turnout increased to26 per cent, from 21 per centin 2011.

But it was the two villagesof Anmore and Belcarra thatreally brought out the vote onelection day.

A total of 52 per cent of eli-gible voters in Anmore cast aballot, while in Belcarra voterturnout was 61 per cent, oneof the highest rates in B.C.

Lou Sekora’s 42-yearcareer in politics is over, andhe’s ecstatic about that fact.

Having lost Saturday’smayoral race in Coquitlam bya nearly three-to-one marginto Richard Stewart, Sekora ispoised to go on vacation toPalm Springs.

And he’s not sure whenhe’ll come back.

“I’m all through. I have noinkling, not even one ounce,of wanting to go back [topublic life],” Sekora told theTri-Cities NOW Tuesday.

“I feel so relaxed and socomfortable. You would notbelieve how good I feel thatit’s over.”

Sekora garnered 5,705

votes compared to the 15,002ballots cast for Stewart, andhe attributed his loss to twofactors.

He said his CUPE endorse-

ment led voters to believe hewas affiliated with the five-person Protect Coquitlamslate.

“The slate just doesn’t workand people connected me aspart of the slate, which isbad,” he said. “My age didme no favours either. A lotof people feel 83 is probablytime to be buried.”

Sekora’s time in publicoffice covered almost everylevel of involvement.

He first sat as a councillorfrom 1973 to 1983, and tookover the mayor’s chair from1983 to 1998. He then servedas a member of Parliamentfrom 1998 to 2000, and wasa citizenship judge from 2001to 2004. Re-elected to coun-cil in 2005, he also servedas an alternate director onthe Metro Vancouver boardof directors.

Though their relationshipwas acrimonious at times— particularly in the lead-upto Saturday — Stewart hadpraise for Sekora.

“There’s no question thatLou has made a tremendouscontribution to Coquitlamover four and half decades,”he said. “While I didn’talways agree with his style ofleadership, I won’t questionat all the contributions he’smade. Coquitlam owes a debtto Lou’s passion and his driveto get stuff done.”

Stewart said he’d likeSekora to be a part of the2016 B.C. Senior Games inCoquitlam in some capacity,but the former mayor ruledthat option out, as well as anyother chance of returning topublic service. Instead, he’sopting to manage his businessand investment interests.

“I would be a bloody foolto do that [return to the spot-light]. I’ve spent 40-odd yearsin public life,” he said.

“It’s like being in the armyor in the police force for 42years and then all of a sud-den, you’ve taken that loadoff your shoulders. It’s prob-ably the greatest thing tohappen to me that I got beat.

“You wouldn’t believe howwell I sleep at night and howrelaxed I am. It’s just great.”

History repeated itselfSaturday in Coquitlam, as themakeup of council changed inidentical fashion to the way itdid during the last civic elec-tion in 2011.

Gone is one incumbentcouncillor — Neal Nicholson— while another sitting coun-cillor who vied for the mayor’schair was also defeated, asLou Sekora’s 42-year careerin politics has ended.

In 2011, former Coun.Barrie Lynch was defeated byStewart in the mayor’s race,while Doug Macdonell wasthe lone councillor to not bere-elected.

And as was the case in2011, two new councillorshave been added to the foldin Dennis Marsden and TeriTowner. Those newcomersthree years ago were Couns.Craig Hodge and TerryO’Neill.

“They are two completelydifferent people and that’s

good,” Stewart said of Townerand Marsden. “The financialdiscipline that we’ve tried tobring to council decisions willbe helped by Dennis … andI think [Towner] has got anawful lot to offer and a freshperspective.”

Proposed Mixed Commercial and Apartment Development

The latest move to study (andperhaps eventually reduce)problem gambling is welcomenews, but don’t think for aminute it’s a sign the prov-

incial government is any less voraciouswhen it comes to gobbling up moneyfrom gamblers.

Last week saw the establishment ofthe new Centre for Gambling Researchat the University of B.C. A UBC newsrelease said the centre’s key goals are“probing the psychology of gambling,helping problem gamblers and enhan-cing gaming policy.”

There will be a “casino lab” createdin the centre, which sounds nifty. It willhave slot machines and other games,and it will measure things like heartrates and brain responses of gamblers.

The whole thing is being paid for by a$2 million grant from the B.C. govern-ment and the BC Lottery Corp. This is allwell and good.

But if you think that grant is “guilt”money, you would be correct.

The B.C. government, like every otherprovincial government (if not govern-ments pretty much everywhere), longago became addicted to revenues flow-ing its way from the gambling industry.

It wasn’t always like this, of course.For decades if a person wanted togamble legally (I stress that word) in thisprovince, such activities were basicallyconfined to horse racing, the crown-and-anchor wheel on the carnival midway(I used to operate one, by the way) andperhaps an annual Grey Cup pool or theold Irish Hospital Sweepstakes horserace.

That changed in the mid-1970s, whena national lottery was established to helppay for Montreal’s Olympic Games in1976. The Olympics came and went, butthe lottery stayed.

Then, in 1985, provinces were given

control of gambling. One can justimagine provincial financial ministersof the day salivating at the prospect of awhole new revenue stream being openedup to them.

And open up it did, as provinciallotteries became bigger and bigger.Eventually, casinos were brought intobeing, and with them the biggest cashcow of all: slot machines and other elec-tronic game machines.

By 2002, revenues for the B.C. gov-ernment broke through the $500-millionlevel. Since then, they have doubled toalmost $1.2 billion expecting to come inthis year.

That money is distributed, in part,to non-profit arts, culture and sportsgroups (like your local Little Leaguebaseball team) and to municipalitiesthat host casinos (which helps explainthe often-muted opposition to gamingexpansion by municipalities). But thevast majority (almost $900 million) goesto the government’s general revenuefund.

The government’s direct share of thegambling pie is enough to fund, to pickjust one area, what the governmentspends on all social services in an entireyear.

This isn’t chump change we’re talkingabout folks, which is why any notionthat the government — any government— is going to spend gobs of cash treatingproblem gamblers has dim prospects of

becoming reality.There are valid arguments to curtail

a casino’s operating hours, reduce thenumber of slot machines (which areparticularly insidious when it comes toattracting problem gamblers) and anynumber of other measures aimed atmaking gambling a bit harder to access.

But the fact is, even with that $2 mil-lion grant for UBC, the money spentannually on problem gambling is lessthan one per cent of the profits govern-ment earns on that activity.

And as long as governments refuse toeven have a dialogue about revisiting ourtax system, they will continue to lookgreedily at any prospective revenues thatallow them to meet ever-rising publicexpectations for government services,whether they are for health care, educa-tion, social services, or whatever.

So until a political party stakes outnew turf, and puts things like an incometax hike, a substantial corporate taxincrease or a big reduction in spendingin the plans, revenue generators like thegambling industry will continue to be anindispensable part of the social fabric, asdistasteful as many people find that.

B.C. Provincial Health Officer PerryKendall, in his groundbreaking report ongambling released last year, has estimat-ed there are about 31,000 people strug-gling, at various degrees, with problemgambling in this province.

But even with laudable measuresbeing taken, such as establishing theCentre for Gambling Research at UBC,I’m afraid many of those people will endup being collateral damage resultingfrom the government’s ceaseless effortsto find money to pay for the things thateveryone wants — but doesn’t reallywant to pay any more for them.

Keith Baldrey is chief politicalreporter for Global BC.

The results are in, and perhaps more than mostelections, the surprises were plentiful.

One incumbent mayor fell, a healthy list ofnew faces made the council list and a democrat-ic near-sweep was applied to the school board.

The whole exercise of elections isn’t often pretty or easilypalatable, but voters in the Tri-Cities came out in strongernumbers to see that their votes counted — and hopefullytheir voices were heard.

The battle lines that existed during the campaign cannow be scrubbed clean as councils and trustees roll uptheir sleeves.

A number of things stand as impressive. We can point tothe citizens of Port Coquitlam electing a female to council— and with surprisingly strong numbers for Laura Dupont— as a sign of hard work by the candidate, and the com-munity’s hope to have more balance at the table.

Of the incoming councils and school board, we wishthem a quick learning curve to the upcoming challengesbecause there is a big difference between an electioncampaign and the actual operations of a municipal govern-ment. Newcomers and incumbents alike, get to work andget along — that is what your community wishes for thenext four years. Now is the time to put those tired and rigiddisagreements behind you.

There is also the other side of the race, which no can-didate, no matter their pledge, likely intended to taste.Defeat, whether it comes to a political wannabe or a long-standing veteran, is a hard thing to swallow.

That the public had multiple names on the ballot fromwhich to choose in all corners of the Tri-Cities was a goodthing, but few entered expecting not to win.

For community leaders like Heather Anderson, MichaelWright, Lou Sekora, Gerry Nuttall and Gerri Wallis, we joinmany in thanking them for their dedication over the years.

Now let’s get to work.

The exerciseis done,nowon to the job

Re: “Evergreen acts draw complaint,” letter tothe editor, Friday, Nov. 14.

I agree with the recent letter from Gary Mitchell.I also have seen a change in the choice of perform-

ances at Evergreen Theatre. I even walked out during onebecause I found it so offensive and inappropriate.

The content of shows on TV and at the movies debasesthe good values Canada was founded on and we see theresults in society all around us. Things will only get worseunless we stand up and object.

I hope our community theatre will rethink the directionthey are heading in and will choose shows that are positiveand uplifting.

Slates: did theyhurtorhelp candidates?John [email protected]

It was referred to as the elephant in theroom, as candidates, residents and specialinterest groups all accused each other ofbackroom politicking on behalf of other levelsof government.

With the dust settled on Saturday’s election,the Tri-Cities NOW spoke to several candidatesabout how slate politics affected races in bothPort Moody and Coquitlam.

The Coquitlam race saw five candidatesrunning under the Protect Coquitlam banner,incumbents Bonita Zarrillo, Neal Nicholsonand Chris Wilson, alongside newcomersShoba Nair and Jack Trumley. Only Wilsonand Zarrillo won seats.

Those on the other side of the political spec-trum — who were also accused of running amore secretive slate — were pleased that theProtect Coquitlam slate did not gain a major-ity standing on council.

“I’ve been in party politics, I’ve been anindependent, and working as an independentis better for the community, from my perspec-tive,” said Mayor Richard Stewart. “I wantour council to become a collection of greatindependents with a wide variety of perspec-tives.”

Both new council members, Teri Townerand Dennis Marsden, ran as independents.

“All I did was promote myself, in that I’m anindependent,” Towner said. “I ran a clean cam-paign. I didn’t once say I’m against slates.”

Marsden said slate politics belong only atthe provincial and federal levels, and stressed

that he was critical of ideologies rather thanindividuals when it came to talk of slates.

“I think I can work very well, and I haveworked very well in the past with [Wilson]and [Zarrillo], and I look forward to workingwith them and helping mend whatever fencesneed to be mended across council.”

Coun. Terry O’Neill was also highly criticalof the left-leaning slate, and suggested at theNov. 6 all-candidates’ meeting that “the NDPis attempting to take over City Hall.”

Wilson fired back at O’Neill at that meeting,suggesting Stewart was responsible for intro-ducing slates to Coquitlam and that the right-leaning members of council were formingtheir own slate in a more secretive manner.

In an interview Tuesday, Wilson defendedhis comments.

“To me, that was just over-the-top unreason-able and I felt I had to push back,” he said. “Butapart from that, I don’t think we did anythingnasty. I really don’t know how the dynamicwill be, but I’m happy to make it work.”

Meanwhile, the talk of slates in Port Moodywas more subtle. Candidates and communitymembers accused Zoe Royer, Rick Glumac,Barbara Junker, Anne Ladouceur and mayoralcandidate Gaetan Royer of forming a slate.

The top vote-getter on council, Glumacdenied that claim in the run-up to the electionand again in an interview Tuesday.

“It seemed like it was something that themedia was focusing too much attention onbecause there wasn’t a slate in Port Moody,”Glumac said. “None of us running for electionhad any intention or plan to work as a slate oncouncil. So for me it was a moot point.”

PortMoody electsyoungest councillorJeremy [email protected]

When Port Moody resi-dents went to the polls onelection day Saturday, theydecided to make history.

With Robert Vagramovpicking up the sixth and finalseat on council, the 22-year-old became the youngestcouncillor in the city’s hist-ory.

“It’s a success for the youthcommunity in general,” hetold the Tri-Cities NOW onelection night.

Though Vagramov, whogarnered 3,285 votes, ran inthe last election in 2011, hesaid the loss helped him pre-pare for the campaign andfocus on a message.

“I was the wild card,” hesaid.

“This goes to show thatan average guy … can getelected — I’m super excitedabout that.”

A 14-year resident of PortMoody, Vagramov studiedpolitical science in universityand now works as an IT con-sultant.

He appeared to do wellat debates in the run-up tothe election, honing in on a

message and term he used,“Metrotownification,” in ref-erence to big developmentaround the Burnaby mall thathe opposes for Port Moody.

While he spent threemonths on the campaign trailknocking on doors, the youngcouncillor believes the hardwork really starts after theelection.

He said he’s going to puttogether a list of some ofthe issues he wants to tacklein his first 100 days, fromdevelopment policy to get-ting trees trimmed along IocoRoad so there is more light onthe sidewalk.

Though he will be theyoungest on council by quitea few years, he will have ablueprint to follow from a col-league who was in the sameposition in Port Coquitlam.

In 2008, Brad West was theyoungest councillor electedin that city, at the age of 23.

Recently elected to histhird term in PoCo, the now-veteran councillor said he’sthrilled by Vagramov’s suc-cess in Port Moody and islooking forward to workingwith him on Tri-Cities relatedissues.

“I think it’s great. Havingdiverse voices around thetable makes for a strongercouncil and better city,” hesaid.

However, West noted thereis a big learning curve inthe first term, adding thatgoes for all new candidates,regardless of age.

And reflecting on his ownexperiences as a young coun-cillor, he said he was wel-comed and felt included byhis colleagues in PoCo, eventhough he’s heard of otheryoung politicians not gettingthe same treatment in othercommunities.

West is hoping Vagramovwill be treated the same wayhe was when he was electedin 2008.

As for advice, West recom-mends the rookie politicianremember that everyonearound the council table is anequal and that he shouldn’tbe afraid to be a strong voiceon the issues he ran on in theelection.

Port Moody has a recenthistory of electing youngpeople to council.

In 2005, Shannon Watkinswas elected at the age of 23.

Mayor Greg Moore willhave a lot of familiar facesto work with followingSaturday’s election results inPort Coquitlam.

Elected to a third term,Moore handily won the city’stop post, polling more than7,500 votes over his only chal-lenger, Eric Hirvonen.

“I’m thrilled,” Moore saidabout the win, which sawhim receive 8,632 votes to1,069 for Hirvonen. “It showsas a team, we work well andhave accomplished some ofthe priorities we set out todo.”

Joining Moore on coun-cil are veterans Brad West,Darrell Penner, Mike Forrest,Glenn Pollock and DeanWashington.

The only change on coun-

cil came in the surprisingsurge of political neophyteLaura Dupont. While Westwas again the top vote-getteramong councillors, Dupontsurged into second place, 800behind West and 32 ahead ofPenner.

“I just feel really proud ofthe support and work that myteam and I put in, and reallypleased to get the supportfrom the community,” saidDupont. She becomes thefirst female councillor to beelected in PoCo since SherryCarroll won a seat in 2008.

Dupont’s win meant long-time councillor MichaelWright was bumped from hisseat, finishing eighth.

Moore said Wright’s contri-butions over the years werealways well measured.

“Michael was not just acolleague and a good friend,but he was someone who

served the community wellover the years,” remarked themayor. “He’s done a good jobstewarding things that wereimportant to the citizens ofthe city, and while he won’tbe on council I’m certainhe will be a presence andserve the community in otherways.”

West, who wasn’t evenborn when Wright was firstelected to PoCo council in1978, was saddened to seehim lose his seat.

PoCo losesWright“[Wright] has been a

first-class gentleman, aninstitution in the commun-ity for a long time and he’sleft a very strong legacy inPort Coquitlam. I very muchappreciated working withhim over the past six years,”said West.

During the campaign,Moore said much of the talkhe heard was about transitand transportation.

Dupont agreed.“PoCo is such a great com-

munity but the key piecemissing is better transit …

We’ll just have to keep lobby-ing [TransLink] and lobbyinghard, but we’ll also have todo a better job with our owntransportation plans, includ-ing the connectors.”

West was pleased andhumbled by drawing the mostvotes for council.

“We made really respon-sible decisions on the budget;people certainly appreciatedthat,” said West. “Folks toldme time and time again that‘There’s no money tree in mybackyard, so please be mind-ful of how you’re spendingour tax dollars.’”

Pollock noted that along

with transit, transportationand garbage, a major issuethat continued to stir conver-sation during the campaignwas the city’s aging recrea-tion facilities.

“The fact of the matter[is that] Centennial Pool inAggie Park was born in 1958,the same year as I am, andit’s in way worse shape than Iam,” said Pollock, who addedthe library is also an olderfacility requiring a rebuild.

“We want to do a rec centrewith a new pool, a workoutcentre for southside, a newlibrary too — not just thearena.”

Coquitlamwelcomes twonewcouncillorsthird mayoral candidate,

Mark Mahovlich, garnered859 votes.

Coun. Craig Hodge setwhat appears to be a record in

terms of the number of voteshe received, as he led all can-

didates with 13,495. Formercouncillor and current New

Westminster-Coquitlam MPFin Donnelly set the previousstandard with 10,999 votesin 2008.

“I’ve lived in the city fora long time and I like tothink I know these issues.I’ve reached out to a lot ofpeople, and I think that’s key— meeting as many mem-bers of the public as you can,”Hodge said.

O’Neill finished secondwith 11,712 votes.

“I worked hard, I spokefrom my heart, I spoke onprinciple, I spoke passion-ately and I connected withpeople,” he said.

Towner described her vic-tory Saturday night as “pureelation.” She pointed to hercommunity involvement —work with the SHARE Societyand SNAP Coquitlam, volun-teering in the school districtand her previous run in abyelection — as the reasonsfor her success.

“I’ve worked very hardfor this,” she said. “I’ve beeninvolved in the communityfor many, many years ... Ithink that really helped me.”

Marsden, meanwhile,pointed to his experience infinance — he works in thebanking sector — and howthat relates to issues aroundhousing and affordability asprimary selling points withresidents.

“I’m absolutely thrilled. Iappreciate the faith residentshave put in me and I’m goingto work hard to not let themdown,” he said. “It was reallytruly about identifying wherethe issues were and puttingthings in perspective.”

Meanwhile, Nicholson wasalso on the outside lookingin. First elected to council inthe 2007 byelection, the 73-year-old then lost his seat oneyear later before winning itback in the 2010 byelection.He finished fifth in votes in2011, and 10th this time out,with 7,284 ballots cast.

Nicholson didn’t returncalls prior to Tri-Cities NOWdeadline, though his col-leagues reflected on theiradmiration for him.

“We’re on different sides ofthe political fence, but I got toknow him and respect him,”O’Neill said. “He was almostlike our Senate in a way, oursober second thought. He’sa very intelligent man. Headded a lot to council and wewill miss that.”

The final vote breakdownis as follows:

Mayoral candidates:Richard Stewart — 15,002Lou Sekora — 5,705Mark Mahovlich — 859

Council candidates:Craig Hodge — 13,495Terry O’Neill — 11,712Brent Asmundson —

PortMoodycouncil changesJeremy [email protected]

Port Moody residentsappeared eager for changeSaturday, voting in three newcouncillors, including oneof the youngest in the city’shistory.

However, there was nochange when it came to thetop job. Mayor Mike Claywon his second term, beat-ing challenger Gaetan Royer.Clay picked up 4,261 votes,compared to 3,450 for Royer.

New faces on coun-cil include Meghan Lahti,Barbara Junker and RobertVagramov. Incumbents GerryNuttall and Rosemary Smallwere outside of the top six andlost their seats. IncumbentsRick Glumac, Diana Dilworthand Zoe Royer, meanwhile,were the top three vote get-ters, respectively.

Clay suggested his victorywas the result of work he’sdone in the last three years.

He also reflected on thecampaign, which turnedbitter at times, suggestingpeople supporting a group ofcandidates against him werespreading “things” aroundthe community.

“I didn’t think we had thatin Port Moody,” he said.

When asked about themake-up of the new council,Clay called it a great group he

hopes will work together dur-ing the next four years.

“We’ll hopefully be able toget a lot of stuff done withthis council, like we were ableto with the last one,” he said.

Though defeated, Royerappeared upbeat aboutthe overall results. He saidthe “progressive” ideas hebrought forward in the cam-paign will be well represent-ed on council with a “strongset of voices,” noting the elec-tion of Glumac, Zoe Royer,Junker, Lahti and Vagramov.

“I feel very good that manyof the values that I advanced,the things I put on the agendain the campaign, are going tobe carried forward by thosefive people elected tonight,”Royer said Saturday.

He also singled out Clayand Dilworth, suggesting theywill have to show restraint onthe type of agenda they wantto put forward.

Saturday’s results likelyended the political careersof Nuttall and Small, whofinished seventh and eighth,respectively.

Nuttall suggested negativecampaigning by candidateshad an impact.

“I think the NDP, unionmoney, endorsements allworked,” he said.

However, Nuttall said he’snot disappointed, adding hehas no intention to run again

in four years.Small also said she would

not run again in four years,noting the expense of cam-paigning as an independent.

She said she does not think

members of the new councilwill work well together.

On a two-game road swing that resultedin two points, the Coquitlam Express cancount its blessings in twos — thanks to thesecond line.

The second unit of Jackson Cressey, ColtonKerfoot and Joey Santucci came up huge asthe Express toured Trail and Salmon Arm,returning home following a 4-3 overtimeloss and a rare 3-3 tie in B.C. Hockey Leagueaction.

Although they were just 59 seconds awayfrom skating out of Salmon Arm on Sundaywith a victory, head coach Barry Wolff wassatisfied with the club’s effort over the twodays.

“I guess you’d have to say it was good,that’s a long drive [to Trail and Salmon Arm]and a tough test,” he noted. “I thought wewere very good in clawing back from a 3-1deficit in Trail to force overtime.”

Saturday’s challenge in the west Kootenayssaw Coquitlam fall behind 3-1 early in the sec-ond period, but slowly chip back in. Cressey’sgoal with four minutes left in regulation gotthe team a single point — although Trailwon it when Charlie Zuccarini cashed in hissecond of the day, beating Braden Krogfosson the Smoke Eaters’ 50th shot three min-utes into the second overtime period.

A day later, Santucci pocketed a pair,giving him 10 on the year, and Chris Taiturned back 39 shots as Coquitlam picked upanother point in the standings.

They now sit fourth in the MainlandDivision, four points back of second placeChilliwack and three behind Langley.

The line supplied the majority of theoffence on the trip, tallying five goals andfive assists. The only other goal came off thestick of Daniell Lange.

The line’s emergence couldn’t have comeat a better time for a club that boasts thethird-best offence.

The extra scrutiny that the Express’ red-hot trio of Corey Mackin, Brett Supinski andBrendan Lamont faced opened some ice forthe next group out — and to their benefit,they relished the chance, said Wolff.

“From the first time we put [Cressey,Kerfoot and Santucci] together they showedinstant chemistry,” Wolff said of the three-some. “They’ve stuck together and just keptgetting better.”

That the team’s top line was held in checkon the trip isn’t unusual, he noted, as withMackin’s surge to the top of the league scor-ing race has attracted all the more attentionfrom opposing checkers.

“The more success you have the moreattention you’re going to attract, so it’s aboutadjusting,” added Wolff.

While Santucci is the only one to average apoint-per-game or better — the team captain

and Coquitlam native has 10 goals and 20assists in 23 games — the past month thenumbers for all have been going up.

Coquitlam plays Chilliwack in a home-and-home series this weekend, beginningFriday (7 p.m.) at the Poirier Sports Centre.The Express visit the Valley rival on Saturday,then return home to square off against theAlberni Valley Bulldogs on Sunday (2 p.m.at Poirier).

Express’ second line in sync

GORD GOBLE/NOW

The line of Jackson Cressey, Colton Kerfoot and Joey Santucci has taken advantageof the opposition’s focus on Coquitlam’s top line. The trio accounted for all but onegoal on the two-game road swing through Trail and Salmon Arm last week.

COQUITLAMLINECONTRIBUTING TOTEAM’S OFFENCE

PREDS SHINE AT TOURNAMENTOn the prowl for tournament gold, the Tri-Cities Predators

achieved their goal at last week’s Burnaby female peewee ‘B’Remembrance Day hockey series.

The Predators capped a five-game march with a 3-1 vic-tory over Vancouver for the tourney title, with Paris Morgannamed the game’s MVP.

Earlier, Tri-Cities had blasted North Shore 6-1, getting a hattrick from Kayla Scott in the semifinal.

They began the two-day competition by blanking Langley8-0, behind a shutout performance from game MVP MadisonLaw. Scoring three times in the win was Jenay Rennie.

They also bounced North Shore 8-3 in the round robin,with Isabelle Attar earning MVP honours, and tied Vancouver1-1. Rennie picked up the game MVP award.

Winning the accuracy skills competition was Sara Rosner.

SILVER FOR OMEGA’S OLSENShallon Olsen’s trip to France saw the Coquitlam teen cap-

ture a silver medal at the Massilia Masters gymnastics meet.The 14-year-old gymnast, who trains at Omega Gymnastics,

placed second overall on the vault event, scoring a mere .033points behind Russia’s Maria Paseka in the hunt for the gold.

Olsen was part of a strong Canadian contingent in Marseille,with Quebec teen Rose-Kaying Woo also securing silver onuneven bars. Megan Roberts of Toronto just missed a bronzeon floor.

“All three girls handled the day really well,” said Canadiancoach Lawson Hamer of Toronto. “They were very focuseddelivered some really good performances.”

Canada finished the event fifth among the 10 teams incompetition.

All three are considered contenders for the CanadianOlympic team in 2016.

At the 2014 Canadian championships, Olsen topped thevault and scored silver all-around.

SHAMATUTU AN ALL-ROOKIETerry Fox alum Jason Shamatutu was named to the Ontario

University Athletic 2014 Football All-Rookie team.A member of the Queen’s Gaels, Shamatutu recorded 28

solo tackles and 11 assists over eight games, averaging 4.2tackles per game.

The six-foot-three, 205-pound defensive back also pickedoff two passes and a fumble recovery, and was one of twoGaels to be named to the all-rookie lineup.

Earlier in the season, the Port Coquitlam native was chosenQueen’s athlete of the week. In his OUA debut, Shamatutucorralled a fumble recovery and an interception, along with7.5 tackles in a big win.

In his final high school season, Shamatutu helped lead Foxto the B.C. final, and was named to the AAA all-star team asa receiver.

The All-Rookie list is designed to recognize exceptionalfreshmen for their outstanding performances. The 2014 OUAAll-Rookies were selected by the OUA coaches.

The opponent doesn’t really matter, except nowit does.

The standard preparation for the Terry FoxRavens has been to deliver their best on game day,no matter who the opponent happens to be.

It worked to a ‘T’ in the B.C. High School sen-ior football regular season, where the top-rankedRavens steamrolled the opposition en route to a7-0 record.

The New Westminster Hyacks are first in lineas Fox kicks off the playoffs Friday, 7:30 p.m. atPercy Perry Stadium, with a hunger to keep thatball rolling.

After a two-week sabbatical, the AAA squad isitching to lay into some real tackling.

“Absolutely, if we win the coin toss we will takethe ball and just roll,” noted co-coach Tom Kudaba.“We’ll be going for it right from the start, as willthey.

“That first possession can make an impression onthe rest of the day.”

Led by quarterback Conner McKee, who com-pleted 36 of 50 pass attempts for a league-leading72 per cent completion rate, the Port Coquitlamcrew has found its way into the end zone, cashingin a league-best 305 points.

The defence was also setting the pace, allowingjust 36 points over seven games. Confidence is notan issue, said Kudaba.

“We know what we have to do and I feel we’rewell prepared... [New West] will find it difficult todefend us.”

The multiple offensive weapons Fox has at itsdisposal — from McKee, the fleet Keishon Ross,athletic Mike West, and barrelling rushes of JerichoMendez — will present a handful of challenges.

New West will also offer a different wrinkle forthe defence to unravel, utilizing a crafty ‘Wing-T’that confounded Mount Boucherie in a 40-7 deci-sion in last week’s opening playoff salvo. Fox, as theEast Conference champ, had a bye.

“They offer a lot of misdirection and movement(with the ‘Wing-T’). You try not to watch the ballbut watch the space,” said Kudaba.

Receiver Matt Seymour, one of the Hyacks bestathletes, will be a concern, having averaged 58.8yards per game. Rusher Julian Ramirez also has theability to create havoc.

It’ll be the role of defensive leaders like JordanSeney, Isaiah Stevens and Taylor Poirtras to geta handle on it, with ample support from a largecontingent. Poitras led the Ravens in tackles, with41, while Stevens tallied 34. Both pulled down twointerceptions on the year.

A win would propel Fox into the semifinal, to beplayed next week at UBC.

The route to Cranbrook from Port Coquitlam,as the crow flies, crosses a few mountain rangesand a healthy dose of twists and turns.

By winning last week’s Fraser Valley AAAAsenior girls volleyball title, the Riverside Rapidswill take that next journey with some helpfulmomentum.

Ranked No. 2 in the province, Riversideearned its trip to Cranbrook and the B.C. cham-pionships through a well-rounded team effort.

The Rapids topped Lord Tweedsmuir, whostood rated fifth in B.C. prior to the tourna-ment, in a tightly played 3-0 (28-26, 25-19,25-22) sweep.

“We went in playing pretty good, and[Tweedsmuir] made it a good game,” Riversidecoach Bryan Gee said. “It was a very, very goodmatch for us to come out on top.”

They also topped No. 7 Elgin Park in thesemifinal, giving the squad suitable tests inpreparation for the provincials, which startNov. 27 in the east Kootenay town.

It’s exactly what the Rapids needed after anundefeated run through league play.

“Elgin Park and Tweedsmuir are both excel-lent teams who competed for every singlepoint. Our girls just stayed calm and focusedand everybody was called to contribute alongthe way,” said Gee.

They blanked North Surrey in the firstgame.

Setter Hayley Menard was voted the tourneyMVP, while teammates Miranda Dinwoodieand Taryn Toscani were selected to the tourneyall-star squad.

“At just five-foot-five [Menard] has a lot ofenergy and she really lead us through this tour-nament,” said Gee.

The program, which has consistently been atop-10 and even top-three provincial challengerfor much of the past six years, enters the B.C.swith considerable goals. Last year’s roster ofmostly Grade 11s — who placed eighth — nowhave veteran expectations. Gee said while theyare aiming for the top, the central goal is to putthe best team performance on the court and letit play out.

“The team has been through a lot together,and I think the focus is accepting that whetherwe win or lose they want to show their best. It’sreally a great group of girls,” he added.
