Spending big didn’t help ToriesFEDERAL POLITICS

Horne had $200k war chest in bid to win MP seatJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

Tri-City Conservative candi-dates in last fall’s federal elec-tion spent big while losing big.

In the riding of Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam, the Tories’ Douglas Horne spent $193,315 — eight times more than victorious Liberal candidate Ron McKinnon, who paid out $22,849 — and three-and-a-half times more than all the candidates combined. Horne

collected 18,083 votes to McKinnon’s 19,938.

In neighbouring Port Moody-Coquitlam, Conservative candidate Tim Laidler paid out $146,204, outspending the win-ner — incumbent NDP MP Fin Donnelly — by 35% (Donnelly’s campaign spent $108,510). Laidler drew 16,112 votes to Donnelly’s 19,706.

Horne, the former Coquitlam-Burke Mountain BC Liberal MLA who gave up his provincial seat to run federally, had an ample cam-paign war chest from which to draw.

sucker punch and fall left the victim with brain injurySARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam man has been charged in connection with a devastating assault in Vancouver last fall that left a young man with life-altering brain injuries.

Shortly before 3 a.m. on Oct. 25, 2015, a 34-year-old man and his wife were walking home from a downtown comedy club when they walked past two groups of men who were argu-

ing over hiring a limousine in front of the Roundhouse Bar on Smithe Street.

According to the Vancouver Police, the victim was punched once in the head. He was un-conscious before he hit the ground and when he struck his head on the concrete, the im-pact caused severe injuries.

On Nov. 18, VPD officers arrested a suspect at his Coquitlam home and he was released on a promise to appear, pending further investigation.

About a week later, police ap-pealed to the public, including members of the public who had helped the victim as well as the limo drivers, whom officers had not been able to identify, for

further information that would help in the investigation.

“We don’t want there to be missing pieces of the puzzle,” said VPD Const. Brian Montague in a press conference in late November. “The investi-gation is not over.”

Montague said the victim had not done anything to provoke the “sucker punch” assault and had to undergo several surger-ies that included removing part of his brain tissue.

A release from the VPD Thursday said the 23-year-old Coquitlam man, who has not been named due to court-or-dered a publication ban, is facing a charge of aggravated assault.

Volunteers needed for April 3 Fox Training RunTERRY FOX TRAINING RUN

SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

Want to be part of the Terry Fox Training Run but don’t want to run 10 miles?

You can still be part of the event, which takes runners along the route through the Tri-Cities that Terry used to train for his 1980 Marathon of Hope — by volunteering.

Preparations for the April 3 event are in full swing but the organization needs more volunteers for the big day, said organizer Kirsten Fox, mainly to act as route marshals.

“The more, the better,” Fox

said. “They can help cheer on the participants and guide them along the way.”

The 10-mile course starts at Westwood elementary (3610 Hastings St.) in Port Coquitlam, runs through Coquitlam’s Town Centre and along Guildford Way to Ioco Road, up to a turn-around point at April Road, and back again along Port Moody’s Shoreline Trail. (The course is measured in miles because it’s how Terry recorded his runs in his training journals.)

It’s well marked with the Terry Fox Training Run signs that were put up for the inau-gural event held last year, in

celebration of the 35th anni-versary of Terry’s cross-country trek, but course marshals are needed particularly in areas where there is a longer distance between signs and to encour-age the participants.

“Things are coming along really well, and we are really hopeful we’re going to get a lot of people out there,” Fox said.

Volunteers will need to check in at Westwood elementary at 7:30 a.m. and be in their as-signed position on the route by the run start time at 8:30 a.m. until the last runners go through, likely by 10:30 a.m.

Need more encouragement?

“It’s a great way to give back to your community and it’s a great way to celebrate Terry and what he accomplished before he began his Marathon of Hope,” Fox said. “Ten miles itself is obviously a big task but if you’re not up for a 10-mile run, [maybe] you’re up for vol-unteering and giving back that way.”

• Anyone interested in vol-unteering is asked to contact Kirsten Fox at [email protected] by Tuesday, March 29. To register for the run, visit terryfoxrun.org/trainingrun.

Plazas, art underway for EvergreenEVERGREEN LINE

Contract awarded for BQ station; art works to comeDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

For years, the public focus on the Evergreen Line project has been construction — stations, tracks, tunnel.

Now, with less than a year until the SkyTrain line opens, eyes have turned skyward as trains do test runs.

But at ground level, what will be a very visible part of the project is now getting some at-tention — and money.

The province announced this week it had awarded a $2.1-mil-lion contract to Coquitlam’s Jack Cewe Ltd. for construction of the Burquitlam Station plaza, to be completed this sum-mer, with more contracts to be awarded shortly for plazas at the five other stations.

For the public, the stations and pedestrian plazas will be the most visible part of the Evergreen Line project and there is much anticipation about what the landscaping, furniture, signage and public art will look like.

For now, the look and feel of the stations and public plazas are largely under wraps. The artists contributing public art have been told not to share images of designs or works in progress and the province doesn’t have graphics or photos of what the signs, lighting or furniture will look like on the plazas.

What is known is that the stations are well lit with natural

light, with lots of glass and natu-ral wood in homage to B.C.’s forest industry. The province kicked in $300,000 for public art for the six stations. The cities are also expected to contribute, with Coquitlam’s share being $50,000 derived from casino funds.

So until the work is revealed on or near opening day, here’s what we do know, so far, gleaned from press releases and city reports:

• Burquitlam Station: This Coquitlam station is being designed as the heart of a new urban village to attract young families and students from nearby Simon Fraser University. It will likely provide hints to North Road’s history as a major thoroughfare built by the Royal

Engineers in the mid-1800s. On the plaza, Vancouver artist Mia Weinberg will be creating a granite piece titled “They Travelled These Roads,” and inside the station will be a piece created from recycled materi-als titled “Burquitlam Between and Beyond” by artist Brent Bukowski, from Kaslo, B.C.

• Moody Centre Station: This station is near the city’s historic centre and is expected to provide spectacular views of the north shore mountains and Port Moody inlet. It will be a busy hub with links to the West Coast Express, bus loops and bicycle facilities.

• Inlet Centre Station: Artwork has already been cho-sen for this station, which will consist of a steel and galvanized

iron sculpture made of spheri-cal shapes and columns called “Evergreen People,” designed to represent both the male and fe-male forms, as well as the city’s diversity. The artists are Alberto Cerritos, Rosalina Cerritos and Jaime Torres.

• Coquitlam Central Station: Nestled in the trees and next to the West Coast Express and the main Coquitlam bus loop, this station’s design and artwork will highlight First Nations culture and heritage. Kwikwetlem First Nations artists will provide inter-pretive art to complement a sus-pended canoe while Cranbrook artist Paul Reimer will create a recycled metal piece to greet passengers on the plaza.

• Lincoln Station: Located at northeastern corner of

Coquitlam Centre mall, this station is surrounded by high-rise residential development and is across the street from Coquitlam Public Library. Multiculturalism was one of the themes chosen for Lincoln Station to reflect the neighbour-hood and Vancouver artists Bruce Walther and YarOn Stern were chosen to create a glass mosaic piece that will hang inside the station. Paul Slipper and Mary Ann Liu will create a granite piece for the plaza titled “Pillow Station.”

• Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station: This end-of-the-line station is located in the heart of Coquitlam’s civic centre, next to Evergreen Cultural Centre and

Town Centre Park, and close to city hall, the City Centre Aquatic Complex and Douglas College’s David Lam Campus. A con-crete piece titled “Translake” by Bowen Island artist Trent Hutton was chosen for the sta-tion plaza. Team Hopewell, a Vancouver artist team of Jarami Reid and Dean Cloutier, was chosen for the second work of art, titled “Archival Wall,” inside the station and made from pine beetle wood.

Vancouver artists Bruce Walther and YarOn Stern will also create mosaic station identifiers for the Coquitlam stations.

According to financial dis-closures filed Feb. 19 and made public by Elections Canada over the past month, Horne took in $218,053 — most of it in transfers from his Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Tory riding association — to retain the Conservative stronghold left vacant when former MP James Moore decided not to run for re-election.

The statements show the riding association dropped $50,000 into Horne’s campaign coffers the same month he resigned his provincial job. Another $50,000 was depos-ited a month later and $40,000 more three days before the Oct. 19 general election.

It also offered an additional $25,000 on election day to round out its total to $165,000 over the three-month contest (another $19,889 came in via “non-monetary” contributions six weeks after the vote, on Dec. 4).

In his paperwork, Horne shows more than 200 entries for $193,315 worth of expenses including:

• $20,252 to himself in the form of stipends, candidate payments, expense reimburse-ments, food for volunteers and bus bench advertising;

• $5,000 to his wife, Larissa Horne, for a campaign co-ordinator stipend;

• $10,689 to his campaign manager, David Riley, for ex-pense reimbursement;

• $10,897 to his communi-cations advisor, Mani Deol-Fallon, for stipends, expense reimbursements and food for volunteers;

• $19,307 to Tech Web Direct for postcard advertising;

• $11,539 to RMG for voter polling;

• and $404 to TD Canada Trust for non-sufficient fund fees.

In total, Horne spent 87% of his allowable expenses limit, which was capped for all riding candidates at $221,031 each.

Horne wasn’t available for comment before Thursday’s print deadline but a spokes-person for Elections Canada said the financial disclosures have yet to go though a com-pliance audit.

(The Canada Elections Act provides for a partial reim-bursement of paid election expenses and paid candidates’ personal expenses if the can-didate is elected or received at least 10% of the valid votes; personal expenses include travel and living expenses and childcare expenses, among other things.)

By comparison, Laidler took no stipend for his campaign work, he told The Tri-City News.

According to his disclosures, which were made public Thursday, Laidler received $130,000 in riding transfers, bringing in a total of $165,769 in contributions (which in-cluded $31,874 for an Elections Canada refund and $3,895 in donations).

Of his $212,494 spending

cap, Laidler put out 68% in ex-penses that included:

• $80,060 in advertising;• $20,815 in wages for,

among other people, his campaign manager Katerina Anatasiadis and financial agent William Healy;

• and $18,356 for voter poll-ing.

Laidler also claimed $2,500 worth of travel expenses for himself.

MP Donnelly, on the other hand, brought in $128,979 in contributions — of which $5,000 came from his own pocket — that included $117,000 in transfers from his riding association.

Donnelly spent 51% of his limit on advertising ($45,583), voter polling ($2,378), office ($21,838) and wages ($35,811), of which his campaign man-ager Tania Jarzebiak received $11,152.

“I didn’t take a dime from the election,” Donnelly told The Tri-City News Thursday.

And the Liberals’ Jessie Adcock, who placed second in the same riding, took in $13,749 from the party and $41,001 from the riding asso-ciation, and spent 21% of the cap, at $46,085.

Her Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Liberal counter-part, MP McKinnon, had only $25,060 with which to compete and he came under budget,

spending $22,849 on advertis-ing, voter polling, office and wages versus Horne’s $193,315.

In the end, McKinnon spent 10% of his cap — compa-rable to NDP candidate Sara Norman’s expenses of $25,811 — and even returned $700 in donations after the vote was over.

Like Horne, McKinnon didn’t specifically itemize salaries for his campaign work-ers though his wife, Christine McKinnon, reaped nearly $5,700 for expenses.

Budget should help transit riders: Moore

FEDERAL BUDGET

Mayor was to meet with fed. minister Thurs.GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

It is too early to comment on specific service improvements but Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said he is opti-mistic Tri-City residents will benefit from the transit fund-ing that was part of Tuesday’s federal budget.

Moore, who is chair of the Metro Vancouver board, said that the $370 million expected to trickle into the region over the next two years will be used for new buses and SkyTrain cars to augment existing ser-vice.

He noted that the regional transit vision calls for a 25% increase in bus service and 11 new B-line express routes, some of which Moore said will be implemented with the new federal dollars.

“We don’t know the details yet,” he said. “I can’t comment on what the new routes will be or what the service levels will be in certain areas but that funding will be put toward increased bus service and SkyTrain service.”

He added that he also ex-pects to see some funding for cycling and pedestrian infra-structure.

But perhaps more impor-tantly, Moore said, the funds set the stage for future negotia-tions with the federal govern-ment for more significant re-gional transit improvements.

He noted that larger-ticket items, like the Broadway SkyTrain extension and the Surrey light rail project, which will cost billions, are part of a second phase. The feds have targeted the end of the year to have those negotiations wrapped up to allow for po-tential transit announcements in 2017.

“Something that I have never experienced before is right after the federal budget was released, we had a meet-ing planned with the federal minister of infrastructure,” Moore said, noting he was meeting with Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi Thursday afternoon. “I am almost speechless as to how positive that is.”

On Tuesday, the federal government released its bud-get, promising $460 million in public transit funding for B.C., of which $370 million will go to Metro Vancouver.

Metro mayors have said they hope the recent funding an-nouncement will help kickstart other planks of the region’s transit expansion strategy, which has been in limbo since the referendum defeat last summer of a proposed new regional sales tax.

Other good news, according to Moore, is a commitment to sweeten the traditional fund-ing formula of one third from each senior government for major new infrastructure. The budget now commits Ottawa to provide up to 50% of the costs of public transit projects.

Throwing away less food = saving moneyMETRO VANCOUVER WASTE

Learn to Love Food, Hate Waste Sunday in PoCoDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

Metro Vancouver wants people to cut down on the amount of food they throw away and may have a compel-ling argument: Doing so will save you money.

In fact, according to the regional government, the average household tosses out about $700 worth of food each year. With food costs rising, the economics alone should be enough to convince people to change their habits.

At least that’s the hope of the Love Food, Hate Waste campaign, which will be visit-ing the Shaughnessy Street Safeway in Port Coquitlam March 27 with games, helpful tips and recipes to help people use up the food they buy.

Campaign spokesperson Peter Cech said a waste audit conducted by Metro found a surprising amount of food was thrown out or shredded up in kitchen garburators, and he said a lot of it is usable and shouldn’t have been discarded.

“Over half of the foods that was being disposed of in our region should have been eaten,” Cech said, singling

out wasted bread as one no-table food stuff that was being thrown out in large quanti-

ties. “With bread, what part of bread is not edible?”

But it wasn’t just 30,000

loaves bread that ended up in the region’s food waste carts; the audit found that as many

as 80,000 potatoes, 26,000 ba-nanas, and 70,000 cups of milk were thrown out, too.

With MetroVancouver’s goal to cut trash, it seemed like a smart idea to teach people how to do a better job of conserv-ing their food resources, even though food is composted.

“The goal is to reduce waste and it’s avoidable waste, it should not be occurring,” he said. “When you’re wasting food, it’s all the inputs — cost of greenhouse gases, trans-porting — these are costs built into wasted food.”

Cech says conserving now will save the region money in the future because handling waste is costly and the region is

expected to grow by a million people.

The problem is, most people don’t think they waste food so Cech recommends paying more attention to what gets tossed.

“There are ways to use these materials up so you don’t have food waste. The whole point of the campaign is to help people eat what they buy.”

• On Sunday, March 27, Metro Vancouver’s Love Food, Hate Waste team will be in Safeway at Port Coquitlam’s Shaughnessy Station, 1100-2850 Shaughnessy St., 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

[email protected]@dstrandbergTC

WHAT’S TOSSED & WHY80,000 potatoes26,000 bananas70,000 cups of milk32,000 loaves of bread

• 46% was thrown away because it was inedible• 32% is tossed because the household either brought to

much or didn’t use it in time• 14% is wasted because too much was cooked or served• 6% gets thrown away because someone “didn’t like it”

WHAT CAN BE DONE• Reorganize the fridge to conserve fruits and vegetables.• Understand best-before dates — they’re for quality and

shelf-life, not safety.• Plan menus and buy only what you need.• Reuse, seal properly, freeze to extend the life of food.For more ideas, visit lovefoodhatewaste.ca

THINKSTOCK PHOTOOrganize your fridge with the food in mind to keep it fresher longer, according to the Love Food, Hate Waste team. Some parts of your fridge are warmer than others and ethylene-producing foods such as apples, pears and grapes should be kept away from other fruits and vegetables. If your fridge has a humidity adjustment, put one of your crisper drawers on high humidity to keep vegetables from wilt-ing. More information on how to organize your fridge, recipes and other helpful hints is available at www.lovefoodhatewaste.ca.

Heights big concernPORT MOODY DEVELOPMENT


A proposed development at the corner of Moody and Clarke streets will go to a public hear-ing after initial readings of zon-ing amendment bylaws were narrowly approved.

Aragon Properties Ltd. is proposing a six- and four-storey mixed-use development on the vacant properties at 2713-2725 Clarke St. and 87 Moody St. It would include 104 residential units ranging from studios to three-bedroom townhouses, nine retail units (six of which would be live-work units) and a common outdoor amenity courtyard.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Port Moody council members ze-roed in on the building’s height.

Coun. Rick Glumac noted the site’s changing grade means the western edge of the building will appear to be seven storeys, which would contravene official community plan regs that allow for a maximum of six storeys.

“Also, in the OCP, it states there should be a gradual tran-sition between the other build-ings in the neighbourhood, and right next to it is a four-storey building,” Glumac said. “That, to me, is not a gradual transi-tion.”

Coun. Diana Dilworth said the discussion at February’s land use committee meeting on the proposed development

was “enlightening” but support was mixed. She and Coun. Zoe Royer voted in favour of the zoning bylaw amendments so it could go to public hearing, after which “we will be best posi-tioned to make a decision when the community has spoken in a fulsome way,” Royer said.

Residents of the Port Moody Station building, which would be directly south of the pro-posed development, were at the land use meeting to express concern about the building heights, saying they were told when they purchased their units that views to the north

would not be affected by future building. Similar issues were raised at a public information meeting in October.

The property’s current zon-ing allows for a maximum building height of four and five storeys.

First two readings of the bylaw amendments were op-posed by Glumac and Coun. Rob Vagramov (Mayor Mike Clay and Coun. Meghan Lahti were absent).

The public hearing will be held on, April 12 at city hall.


TWO POMO FESTIVALS THIS FALLGet ready to hoist some steins of suds at Port Moody’s

Oktoberfest celebration from Sept. 29 to Oct. 9 and to get into the Christmas spirit at a Winter Festival from Nov. 20 to Dec. 30.

Council offered its official support for the two events, which are being proposed by Coquitlam resident Fred Ledlin and PoMo’s Jamie Bergen, and said they were excited to see the plans take shape.

The events will be held on Knowle Street, part of which will be closed to traffic, and Pioneer Memorial Park. Bergen and Ledlin are self-financing the German-themed celebra-tions and expect to attract about 15,000 to the Oktoberfest and as many as 60,000 to their “Christkindlmarkt” Winter Festival.

“This is something a lot of people will want to come to and participate in so I’m very excited to see this come to-gether,” said Coun. Rick Glumac.

The Inlet Music Festival, which was proposed for Aug. 27, will not go ahead after proponents Corey Hawkins and Clyde Hill withdrew their application.

Inlet plan progressesPORT MOODY


Behind-the-scenes work on Port Moody’s Inlet Field redevelopment continues, with council approving funding for preliminary concept design and research for a potential alternative alignment.

In 2012, council approved a plan that would see a new field built on a north-south align-ment on the western edge, minimizing encroachment on the forested area to the east.

But in February, members of the Port Moody Soccer Club and Coquitlam Moody Minor Baseball Association met with city staff to propose an alter-native, which would include: three “Super 8” soccer fields, side-by-side on a north-south alignment; two baseball dia-monds; a batting cage; a new clubhouse and change rooms; potential for additional parking stalls; and potential for a new entry/exit on to Murray Street.

Staff noted in a report that the proposal provides several benefits, including less en-croachment into the park, an option to add a fourth Super 8 field if the city acquires two in-dustrial properties, greater use of the existing field base and improved safety.

The estimated $135,000 cost for the preliminary investiga-tion was approved at Tuesday’s council meeting.

Other news:

CORONATION PARKPublic consultation for the

Coronation Park neighbour-hood plan will begin in May to determine how the area of single-family homes and town-houses should be redeveloped.

Council approved a timeline for consultation that kicks off with online engagement and an open house in May, fol-lowed by a report to council in June. A second open house and public hearing have yet to be scheduled.

The neighbourhood, bounded by Ioco Road, Guildford Way and Balmoral Drive, is within the Inlet Centre transit-oriented development area but remained single-family low density in the 2014 official community plan so that

a comprehensive neighbour-hood plan could be developed.

Input received at two com-munity dialogue sessions last summer — prompted by resi-dents who had already been approached by a real estate firm with eyes on land assem-bly — was mixed, with some residents hoping to hang on to their low-density designation while others supporting high-density development befitting the area’s proximity to the Evergreen Line.

Port Moody will also be notifying neighbouring mu-nicipalities, First Nations, Metro Vancouver, TransLink and School District 43 that the neighbourhood plan process is underway.

She shoots! She scores! The importance of women’s hockeyHistory was made on March 13 as the Calgary

Inferno hoisted the Clarkson Cup for the first time. But Calgary’s victory was not the only milestone

achieved at the close of this year’s Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL) season. The game — played for the first time in an NHL arena — drew a record 4,082 fans.

And, oh yes, Hayley Wickenheiser had done it again.As the first non-goalie woman to ever play full-time

professional hockey, Wickenheiser has won the most gold medals of any Canadian Olympian. With the CWHL championship, Wickenheiser has now won at every professional level of women’s hockey and she is but one of a crop of amazing women who make this an exciting time for their sport.

Their dedication is even more admirable considering the battle they have had to endure.

Organized women’s hockey has been played in Canada since 1890 but it took a century after the first lines of players hit the ice for the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) to sanction a women’s hockey tournament. Shockingly, it took the Olympics until 1998 to include the sport in the Winter Games. Although women had to wait almost 75 years after

men’s hockey was included in the Games, today, wom-en’s hockey is one of the most anticipated events in the Winter Olympics.

Canada’s history with women’s hockey has had other low points. In 1956, the Ontario Supreme Court banned girls from playing in boys’ leagues. Nine-year-old Abigail Hoffman was an aspiring athlete who loved playing hockey. In the absence of a girls’ league, Abigail resorted to pretending to be a boy, cutting her hair short and registering to play as “Ab.”

Hoffman wasn’t intentionally pushing the existing social barriers placed on girls; she just wanted to play hockey — defence, to be exact.

She excelled in the game and was named an all-star but when her gender was discovered, the league im-mediately banned her. Her family filed a lawsuit but the courts ruled in favour of the league, barring Abigail from playing competitive hockey.

The world of women’s hockey has definitely come a long way since Abigail’s time but professional female hockey players are still not afforded the same (or even similar) opportunities as their male counterparts.

Like Wickenheiser and many other unsung female

hockey stars, CWHL athletes play for the love of the game. While NHL players are getting annual pay-cheques in the millions, top-notch women hockey play-ers are not being paid a cent — not even those who have earned five Olympic medals, a feat unmatched by any male hockey player.

Talks of implementing salaries are underway in the CWHL. This is a smart and long-overdue move; al-though these women are playing for the true love of the game, without some compensation, the pool of athletes will decline and the sport may suffer.

Of course, recognition through compensation is only one avenue. The sport of women’s hockey also deserves to see more sponsorship, more TV airtime and more media coverage.

As fans, we can participate in this exciting momen-tum for the game of women’s hockey by simply showing up or tuning in. At my home, my daughters and I look forward annually to the Beanpot Classic and Frozen Four championship — U.S. college events — as much as the NHL playoffs.

Politics & gasClimate change is a problem we’re going to have

to deal with but until people understand the true cost of oil, Canada weans itself from being

a major producer and technology provides alternatives, oil and gas will be the backbone of the economy.

So it seems more like greenwashing than effectual change for Port Moody council to order gas stations to put climate change warnings on gas pump nozzles in the city, especially without consultation or considering practical issues such as the shape of the pump handle (which, at least in Chevron’s case, apparently can’t ac-commodate the stickers).

Chevron has stated it will not comply and the owners of two other PoMo gas stations, Shell and Esso, haven’t commented — but you can guess they aren’t thrilled with the plan either.

Admittedly, not all PoMo councillors are supportive of this idea but the majority was behind the plan, which appears to be more about scoring political points than making a real difference.

They might recognize big names like Crosby and Toews but my daughters are more inter-ested in amazing women like Wickenheiser, Marie-Philip Poulin, Hilary Knight and Michelle Picard.

In fact, my three year-old has watched so much female hockey that the first time she saw a televised NHL game, she exclaimed, “Daddy, look! Men are playing hockey!” To her, men were playing a girls’ game.

Next week, the IIHF Women’s World Championship will be held in Kamloops and my daughters and I will be there cheering.

Women’s hockey is a fast, exciting and skill-ful game that is gaining momentum and mak-ing history. It’s time to pay attention.

OPINION

SUBMITTED PHOTOAccidents and close calls are common on Gatensbury, according to the letter writer, because some drivers don’t adhere to the posted 30 km/h speed limit.

Gatensbury drivers, slow down – people live there

ROAD SAFETY

The Editor,I am writing to let driv-

ers know that people live on Gatensbury.

We walk our dogs, ride our bikes and drive our own cars on this roadway. Our kids walk to school — and there are no sidewalks.

You are driving two-tonne vehicles. You have to slow down.

The speed limit on Gatensbury Street (Coquitlam) and Road (Port Moody) is 30 km/h, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This speed limit starts at Foster Avenue all the way past Como Lake, crossing Como Lake Avenue, all the way down the hill to Port Moody.

I do not appreciate being honked at, sworn at or even having cans thrown out car windows at me or my kids. We have been yelled at as we sat in our front yard because people are speeding and are surprised as they come around the corner.

To the apparently insane woman in the black SUV with a Coquitlam Adanacs Lacrosse sticker, you must be a real darling at the arena. You were spitting so much as you swore at my son as he drove up the road, I really don’t know how you could see out your wind-shield.

I’m sure the kids in your car weren’t freaked out at all. It’s completely normal to have a red-faced, cursing wild woman drive you to your event.

I know the entire world is in a hurry but we also want to live to see tomorrow. Don’t you?

We have had two cars roll over on to our lawn, 12 or more stuck in the ditch and so many close calls because everyone thinks 60 to 80 km/h is accept-able — even in foggy, wet and snowy conditions.

Before spring break ends, please, practise safe driving on Gatensbury.Marisa Poropat, Coquitlam

Not all houses out of reachThe Editor,

Re. “House prices & high taxes” (TC Opinion, The Tri-City News, March 9).

In driving around, when I see a house that is for sale, there is almost always has a “sold” sign on it.

I have been reading that local people can’t afford to buy houses, so maybe you can tell me why 99% of the homes have been sold in such a short period of time after being listed.

Have most of the local people suddenly won a lottery or what?

I’m curious.L. Mackintosh, Coquitlam

Rebound in dol-lar, oil may boost confidence: BCBCJEFF NAGELBLACK PRESS

Critics are worrying too much about the federal gov-ernment’s large projected budget deficit of nearly $30 billion this year, according to a spokesman for the Business Council of British Columbia.

Executive vice-president Jock Finlayson said aggressive stimulus spending is justified given the “feeble” national economy, particularly in oil- and commodity-producing areas, even if that seems out of step with what’s needed in B.C.

“I don’t find the fact that they’re going to be running a sizable deficit for the next year or two particularly alarming on its own,” he said.

Finlayson noted $30 billion is equivalent to only 1.5% of Canada’s overall economy, measured by its GDP (gross domestic product).

“As long as economic growth is 1.5 or 2% we’ll actually see the debt-to-GDP ratio remain stable (at around 31%) or even inch down a bit,” he said.

The U.S. and U.K. are run-ning much larger budget defi-cits as a share of their econo-mies, he added.

Finlayson is less enamoured of the federal projections for continued big deficits stretch-ing out five years, adding he’d like to see Ottawa wrestle them down towards a balanced bud-get sooner.

Otherwise, he said, the federal Liberals could be sur-prised by other economic trou-ble, such as a recession in the U.S. or a faster-than-expected climb in interest rates.

“If those kinds of scenarios unfolded then we could end up stuck with chronic deficits at the federal level rather than shrinking deficits.”

The federal strategy is geared to address the sharp downturn that accompanied the collapse of oil and other commodity markets in other provinces.

That’s translated into not just greatly reduced spending by oil and gas companies, but also pipeline, engineering and environmental services com-panies that do associated work, along with waves of layoffs and rising unemployment.

“This epic downturn in commodity markets is rever-berating through a lot of differ-ent industries that are part of the resource supply chain.”

There has been some recov-ery since oil prices bottomed in January — it’s now $40 a barrel instead of $26.

The loonie has also re-bounded from its low, climb-ing from under US 69 cents in mid-January to above 77 cents on March 18. It closed Wednesday at 75.7 cents.

Finlayson previously fore-cast the Canadian dollar would languish between 67 and 75 cents for the rest of the decade.

He now thinks the mid-70s are more likely for the rest of this year if oil holds around $35 to $40, or possibly the lower 70s if oil prices weaken.

The loonie has lifted over the past two months as a result of the rise in oil prices as well as the weakening of the U.S. dollar, in part because markets

now expect interest rates there to rise at a slower pace than previously anticipated.

The Canadian dollar is still much lower than it had been in recent years, and Finlayson said that’s good for many ex-porters.

“If you’re a widget manufac-turer, or a farmer or a tourism operator here in B.C., a 75-cent dollar is very manageable from a competitive perspective.”

The fact the loonie has re-bounded and stabilized after falling so steeply may also help shore up consumer and busi-ness confidence that had been rattled by the dollar’s dive, he said.

An improving economy could help Finance Minister Bill Morneau beat his targets. The budget projections as-sumed oil would average $25 through 2016, a number that looks pessimistic at the mo-ment.

There’s also a $6 billion con-tingency built into the federal deficit.

Finlayson said all that sug-gests 2016’s actual deficit could come in lower, perhaps $20 billion.

Street team ID and bust two for local robberies

A Coquitlam man and a woman from Surrey are facing numerous charges in connection with a series of robberies here and in Maple Ridge over the past month.

Between Feb. 27 and March 9, nine robberies were reported to police, in which the suspect would enter a business and bran-dish a knife to obtain money, cigarettes and lottery tickets.

The Coquitlam RCMP Robbery Section and Maple Ridge RCMP Street Enforcement Unit teamed up to identify and arrest

a 33-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman.

Christopher Houghton of Coquitlam faces nine counts of robbery and remains in custody while Claira Dusange of Surrey faces two counts of robbery. Their next court appearance was to be yesterday (Thursday).

Theft of vacuums sucks for a trio of suspects

CRIME

A trio of suspects on a clean streak were nabbed by Mounties as they attempted to steel several high-end vacuum cleaners.

In the early morning hours of March 9, according to a Coquitlam RCMP press re-lease, officers watched three individuals break into a store in the 1000-block of Woolridge Street in Coquitlam and steal

four vacuums each valued at $550, before leaving in a wait-ing vehicle.

Members of the Prolific Target Team, along with Surrey RCMP Property Crime, stopped the vehicle on Highway 1, east of #3 Road in Chilliwack, and arrested the suspects.

Brad Parisian, 39, Coralee Hunt, 32 and Crystal Arndt, 41,

face several charges including break and enter and posses-sion of break-in instruments.

Hurley and Arndt were released with conditions and were scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

Parisian remains in custody, with his next court date on March 31.

PoCo Grand Prix will feature pro racers

The inaugural PoCo Grand Prix is less than five months away and the city is putting a call out for volun-teers and sponsors.

The July 15 bike race is part of BC Superweek — Canada’s largest profes-sional road cycling series, with a number of races in various Metro Vancouver communities — and is ex-pected to attract thousands to downtown PoCo.

And dozens of volunteers and sponsors are needed to make the Grand Prix a success.

Sponsors are already starting to sign on at vari-ous levels. Metro Ford has stepped forward as the official sponsor of the pace vehicles while the first to sign up as a gold sponsor was Westwood Cycle — a PoCo-based store with outlets in Port Moody, Maple Ridge and Burnaby — is also assisting with event planning and pro-viding volunteers.

Owners Kelly and Glen Hobbis are encouraging other businesses to get involved, with Kelly say-ing, “This event has the potential to identify Port Coquitlam as an active, healthy and fun com-munity, and those who sponsor this event will be clearly identified as active,

healthy and fun corporate partners.”

Volunteers will also play a role, primarily on the day of the event. Approximately 150 volunteers over the age of 15 are needed for tasks including team captains, race course fencing, sig-nage, marshalling, VIP tent, beer garden, fundraising, first aid, PoCo Grand Prix Expo (a trade show), street team event hosts, event setup and takedown, and other areas.

People can volunteer as individuals, as a group or as a team from an organiza-tion of up to 12 volunteers. Visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/volunteer for informa-tion and registration.

Event and sponsorship information is available at www.pocograndprix.ca. Questions may emailed to [email protected] or to Lori Bowie at 604-927-7900. For volunteer opportunities, contact Rob Loxterkamp at [email protected] or at 604-927-7953.

The PoCo Grand Prix will feature about 200 interna-tional cyclists racing along a 1.3-km criterium-style circuit in downtown PoCo; there will also be a com-munity festival including entertainment, a beer gar-den and other activities for all ages.

Registration will open in the coming weeks for pub-lic events such as children’s and youth races and a cor-porate challenge.

Uganda interns speak Thurs.DOUGLAS COLLEGE

Douglas College graduate students are to return today from a working trip to Uganda and when they arrive home, they’ll have stories to tell.

Next Thursday (March 31), the interns will speak at a public presentation at Douglas’ David Lam campus in Coquitlam and share their experiences after six months in the east African country.

The event will take place from 9 a.m. to noon in Room A1470 and will provide insight into what it’s like to work in a developing country, said Douglas College instructor Janice Spencer.

“Without a doubt, events like this spark insight, under-standing and compassion,” Spencer said.

Four interns from Douglas College took part in the in-ternship. The paid internships are 28 weeks long and break into three job categories: community education worker,

community health worker and community social service worker.

Interns used their skills

as bridge-builders in the community while taking on various projects — including working with local, grass-

root organizers, the Masaka Regional Hospital and the Uganda Community Libraries Association.

“It is personally and pro-fessionally challenging and rewarding,” Spencer said.

Meanwhile, federal fund-ing means the program can continue. with positions open for 40 interns in total over the next two years. The program will support intern salaries, travel and accommodations, as well as faculty time and travel.

In order to qualify for the International Youth Internship Program, students must be between the ages of 19 to 30 and be post-second-ary graduates of a diploma or degree program. Typically, students have experience in education, health and social services.

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWSTrevor Yatlo, a program leader and recreation instructor for the city of Coquitlam, will start a new program next month for kids: Jedi Training Camp.

Something a little different from Coq. rec: Jedi training

KIDS’ RECREATION

Star Wars-themed camps to include crafts & exerciseJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

Trevor Yatlo is tune into what’s going on in kids’ lives.

For the past two years, as a program leader and recreation instruction with the city of Coquitlam, he’s been hearing plenty of chatter about their friends and family, what sports and arts activities they’re involved in, and what’s their general outlook.

He has also received an ear-ful about what’s cool.

Last season, all the rage was Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

As a fan of the franchise — his favourite is the 1977 origi-nal — Yatlo could relate to the hype as the kids glowed about light sabres, droids, space at-tacks and good versus evil forces.

And their enthusiasm sparked an idea.

Yatlo and his co-workers de-cided to package the elements of Star Wars to turn them into a new after-school Jedi Training Camp for children aged five to 10 years.

“It was a perfect way to combine pop culture with fitness, craft making, friend-

ship and confidence building and science,” he said at the Poirier community centre in Coquitlam, where the program will take place starting April 15.

Yatlo, who has a black belt in taekwondo and blue belt in karate, envisions his young participants rising through the ranks from padawans (train-ees) to Jedi knights (masters).

But to progress, kids must take part in a series of chal-lenges, such as running and jumping, carrying a partner, making light sabres, building costumes and learning about the solar system, for example.

There will also be a Jedi food component (organizing a snack) as well as individual and team work.

“Our aim is to make this a fun and exciting experience,” Yatlo said.

Yatlo also said he hopes the Star Wars theme will help bond social kids with those who tend to sit on the sidelines. After all, he said, being a Jedi means being both a teacher and a good student — one who gives through charity, citizenship, volunteerism and good deeds.

• Jedi Training Camp runs on Friday afternoons starting April 15 at the Poirier community cen-tre (630 Poirier St., Coquitlam). To register, call 604-927-4386 or visit coquitlam.ca.



Desirable for immigrants, income is OK: U-Way report on Tri-Cities

OUR COMMUNITY

United Way is to present report to PoCo council Tues.JANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

A new report that takes the pulse of the Tri-Cities’ socio-economic well-being confirms what most residents already know: It’s a pretty good place to live.

On Tuesday, representatives from the United Way of the Lower Mainland will present their inaugural report to Port Coquitlam city council — one that highlights such indicators as employment, income and graduation rates.

Mary Ellen Shaafsma, direc-tor of United Way’s community impact and investment, told The Tri-City News Thursday the profile was compiled using numbers from a variety of sources, including StatsCan, the 2011 Census, bc211, UBC Help and Civic Info BC.

“It’s the best and most re-cent data we have available,” she said.

The report makes a point of highlighting the Tri-Cities’ growth since 1991, although Shaafsma said the region “seems to be keeping up with it really well,” noting its low unemployment and crime rates as well as a median fam-ily income of $93,124 (that’s almost 17% higher than in the rest of Metro Vancouver, where the median family income is $80,006).

As for education, School District 43 ranked the 49th best out of 57 districts in B.C.

The Tri-Cities has also taken in its fair share of immigrants,

with most hailing from South Korea, China and Iran, as well as government-assisted refu-gees (Coquitlam was the second most-selected destination mu-nicipality in Metro Vancouver between 2010 and 2013).

Shaafsma said she hopes the new document can be used as a resource guide as city councils, social planners and non-profit groups — like the United Way — make funding decisions.

Her agency sinks more than $2 million into the Tri-Cities to help 45 agencies deliver 62 programs and services to local residents; one example is the United Way’s Avenues of Change in Coquitlam River.

As for the bc211 help line it also funds, that program logged 5,713 calls for assistance from the Tri-Cities in 2014 — most of them for substance use and housing (in Port Moody, gambling addiction was the third highest issue while, in Coquitlam and PoCo, it was abuse).

The Tri-Cities Community Profile is the third report pub-lished by United Way in the last nine months, following Surrey/White Rock and Richmond.

Growing happy plants and healthy food from the ground up

THE ENVIRONMENT

My fellow Tri-City News columnist Karen Curtis, who writes

Market Fresh monthly, paid tribute last fall when our com-munity lost biodynamic farm-ing pioneer Mary Forstbauer. Mary passionately preached healthy soils, a practice the Forstbauer Family Natural Food Farm in Chilliwack has been doing for nearly three decades.

Healthy soils create healthy plants, especially with a chang-ing climate. Drought conditions stress plants, making them more susceptible to pests and disease.

To cultivate good soil and plant life, Forstbauer farm employs biodynamic methods as well as the soil food web ap-proach.

Many organic farmers use the input substitution method — they employ non-chemically produced fertilizers to provide the essential nutri-ents of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Biodynamic farming, however, focuses on complete farm and soil health, not simply on the short-term gains of a high-yielding plant. Through proper composting, crop rotation and cover crop-ping, the biodynamic farm becomes a more resilient, healthier, complete ecosystem, able to achieve a greater yield on a healthier plant, resulting

in better quality food.The soil food web is the com-

munity of organisms living all or part of their lives in the soil. It describes a complex living system and how it interacts with the environment, plants and animals. The soil food web approach to farming is based on science and entails testing the soil for its microbial content (the millions of bacteria, fungi, nematodes, etc.); creating com-post tea from worm-castings for example, and applying the compost to cultivate beneficial soil microbes.

• What is compost? Compost results from the natu-ral breakdown (recycling) of plant matter into a rich mate-rial, providing essential nutri-ents to new plants. In nature, when organic material such as trees fall to the ground, micro-organisms begin to break down the vegetation, eventually form-ing humus. Humus looks and feels like soil and contains the nutrients of original plant mate-rial. Vegetation then uses these nutrients to grow. This process is relatively slow in nature; backyard composting acceler-ates it. A pile of raw vegetable/

garden materials maintained at a proper degree of moisture and turned regularly will eventually reduce to compost.

• Why use compost? Compost protects plants from diseases and insect pests. It also enhances the soil’s ability to hold water and air, both es-sential for plant growth. With time, compost-amended soil darkens and warms up quickly in the spring, extending the growing season. Unlike soluble chemical fertilizers (which also require fossil fuels to be manu-factured), compost releases nutrients slowly as plants need them. Metro Vancouver has been promoting the compost of organics to not only save on landfill space but also to reduce the amount of methane cre-ated. Moreover, if one desires high-quality compost for the garden, it is best to undertake one’s own on-site composting. Many topsoil products today contain visible amounts of shredded plastics and foreign items.

• What can be composted? Any raw organic material can be composted: plant trim-mings, leaves, immature weeds,

kitchen scraps (vegetable and fruit peelings, minus sticky la-bels), coffee grounds, tea leaves (minus the nylon mesh bags), egg shells, nutshells, soiled brown/newsprint paper. Grass clippings in large quantities should be mixed thoroughly into the composting materials to prevent rotting instead of natural decay.

• Is compost smelly? The odour of compost should be earth-like or like “good woods” soil. Any strong (sour) smell is a sign that the materials are un-balanced or that decomposition has stalled. A strong ammonia smell may indicate too much grass (in that case, add some dry high-carbon — i.e., brown — materials). Make sure the materials are mixed thoroughly to promote good aeration.

Enjoy the benefits of growing healthy happy plants.

HIKE OF THE WEEKCrystal Falls and Bullet DodgerRating: moderateTime Needed: 4-5 hoursLength: 9 kmElevation gain: 500 m

Most people venturing to Crystal Falls take the easy riverside

path from Shaughnessy Street. This hike takes a much more in-teresting and challenging route via the mountain bike trail called Bullet Dodger, so named because it skirts the boundar-ies of the Port Coquitlam and District Hunting & Fishing Club at the end of Harper Road.

Be warned that the route to and from the falls has steep sec-tions and there is a possibility of getting your feet wet at the Pritchett Creek crossing.

Start the hike at the end of Harper Road by the entrance to the gun club and immediately take the small trail on the left (called Garbage), which leaves the gravel road near the gate. This will eventually bring you out onto one of the BC Hydro service roads.

Turn left here, after which there is a fork almost imme-diately. The left branch is the Woodland Walk, which you will follow for just under 400 m to where you will see a trail heading down on the left; this is Bullet Dodger. Do not take the first trail on the left (about 200 m from the junction) as this

dead-ends in the firing range.Follow Bullet Dodger down

steeply for about 2 km. The trail twists and turns and, for a while, follows the crest of a small ridge before emerging onto the Crystal Falls Trail near to the Coquitlam River at the bottom. Halfway down there is a fork and either branch will take you down. The right branch will bring you out right at the falls, while the left branch (recommended) is the more obvious route.

Follow the riverside path north to Crystal Falls. The falls are spectacular during high runoff but at these times it may be unsafe to cross Pritchett Creek. If this is the case, then it would be necessary to return the way you came. Even in modest water flow conditions, dry feet are not guaranteed.

After crossing the bottom of the falls, continue north along the river for about a kilometre, keeping an eye out for a trail

coming down on the right. This is the Coquitlam River Connector and will take you back up to the mid levels of the mountain.

Once you emerge on to the main service road, turn left and follow the road to near the end, where there are fine views out over the Coquitlam River Valley and over to Eagle Ridge. Retrace along the road crossing over Pritchett Creek again, this time more conveniently using a bridge.

About 200 m after the bridge, take the trail that forks right (Woodland Walk) and follow this all the way to where it re-joins the road. Follow the road back to the start, taking the right option at the T-junction.

The two teams will meet again next week, when they compete in the U21 Cup finals. Both clubs have had strong seasons, with the Gunners finishing at the top of the standings with a 16-2 record, while the Reds went 9-4-5 to take second place overall. The game will mark an afternoon of soccer matches in Port Moody with teams from across the region converging for their final cup games. The Reds and Gunners will take the field at 7:15 p.m. on April 3. For more information, go to www.fraservalleysoccer.com.

FRASER VALLEY SOCCER

The PoMo Gunners & the PoMo Reds will settle things in the finalsGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

The Port Moody Gunners have punched their ticket to the under-21 Fraser Valley Soccer League champion-ships after a 1-0 win over the Port Moody Reds.

The two teams will meet up next week-end on Port Moody’s Trasolini Field to duke it out for regional supremacy, after a season that saw the Gunners finish first and the Reds second.

Last week’s game was a low-scoring, defensive affair.

Despite a strong start from both sides, neither club was able to find the go-ahead goal. Finally, in the second half, one of the Gunners were able to net a single for a 1-0 the team held onto until the whistle.

The championship match between the two Port Moody clubs will take place

at 7:15 on April 3 and cap a day of soccer games at Port Moody between clubs from across the region.

At 9:45 a.m. the same day, the Bradner Redshirts will take on the Langley FC Sentinels in the Bradner finals, while Coastal FC will take on Temple United at Heritage Woods at noon in the Bradner Masters finals.

That game is followed by matches be-tween the Coastal FC United and Langley Dynamo (TBA) in the Bradner Open, the Fraser Valley Red Devils and Westcoast FC United (12:15 p.m.) in the Presidents Cup and a Masters Cup game between Coastal FC Peace Arch and the North Delta SC Rangers. At 5 p.m. Langley United and Abbotsford United will com-pete in the Pakenham Cup.

In A Division, the Port Moody Gunners lost 3-1 to Abbotsford, while the Port Moody Rangers FC fell 3-0 to the Westcoast FC Selects.

In other Fraser Valley Soccer League action, the Port Coquitlam FC Rangers are expected to take on the North Delta SC Royals this weekend in a playoff game.

The electrical engineering major, who is in his fourth year, joined his teammates in braving rough weather to defeat Victoria in a nail-biting 10-9 victory last week.

In the finals, Victoria jumped out to an early 3-1 lead, which they were still able to hold on to at half time. However, UBC starting to claw its way back into the game, thanks in large part to a third-quarter hat trick scored

by Phil Pomeroy. But UBC was still down by two heading into the final quarter.

That’s when Eddy Hernandez began to dominate the faceoff dot, leading the day with six ground-balls and cre-ating a handful of scoring chances.

UBC’s Brendan Landcaster scored his third of the afternoon before Louis Landolt tallied his second of the night in an extra-man situation.

But it was Thunderbird runner Matt Latimer that broke the log jam with four minutes left in the game when he tucked his stick past a defender and put home the go-ahead goal.

Badminton brothers medal at B.C. tourney

HITTING THE COURT

Nestor & Paxton Lin pick up gold at ShuttlesportGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Badminton brothers Nestor and Paxton Lin made their mark on the 2016 Shuttlesport Junior A Badminton Tournament last week.

Fourteen-year-old Nestor, a Grade 8 student at Summit middle, took home gold in the under-15 boys singles division and another gold medal in the under-15 mixed-doubles category. He also made the podium in the boys doubles, where he took second overall.

His younger brother Paxton, 12, also had a strong showing at the tournament.

The Grade 6 Summit middle student won two gold medals — one in the under-13 boys singles and another in boys doubles — before the weekend was out.

The Lin brothers may be young, but the Coquitlam duo has been on the badminton scene for a number of years.

In 2014, Nestor captured the provincial champion-ship title, taking first place

in the boys under-12 mixed doubles. After just one year in the game, he was chosen to compete in the 2012 Jr. Pan American Games in Edmonton in the under-11 category.

Nestor is also a second-degree black belt in tae-kwondo but he spends most of his time training at the Ace Badminton Centre in

Richmond with coach Harry Pan.

While Paxton is younger, he also has considerable experi-ence with the sport.

He was crowned under-10 champion in 2014 at a regional badminton tour-nament and held the No. 1-ranking in his age group.

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTOThe Port Moody Panthers are changing their look next season. The club is updating its crest to a “cleaner style that is easier to read,” according to team president Dennis Obcena.

Panthers get a new look LOGO CHANGE

PoMo PJHL club changes up the crest for 2016-17GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

The Port Moody Panthers will be donning a new look when they take the ice next fall.

The Pacific Junior Hockey League club has updated its

logo, going for a cleaner, more three-dimensional look that it says will augment its digital use.

“We really like the new de-sign of our logo and wanted to

make it as modern as possible without losing the dramatic essence of the mark,” said Panthers president Dennis Obcena.

“It is a cleaner style that is easier to read and should be more applicable to different uses.”

The logo recently changed in 2012, when the team went from being the Black Panthers to just the Panthers.
