Families relieved after Sater found guiltyAccused in deadly collision convicted on six counts

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Last Friday’s guilty verdict in the deadly hit-and-run trial of Cory Sater will hopefully cause more people to think twice about getting behind the wheel when they are impaired, said the husband of one of

the vic-tims.

D a n Reaveley, w h o s e w i f e Charlene w a s k i l l e d

along with Lorraine Cruz when they were struck by Sater’s Jeep in 2011, said the judge’s de-cision to convict the ac-cused of impaired driv-ing and dangerous driv-ing causing death was a relief for the families.

“It’s nice to know

there is a little bit of ac-countability,” he said out-side the courtroom after the verdict was read at BC Supreme Court in New Westminster. “The biggest thing for me is setting a precedent for people who jump in the car after they drink.”

Brian Reaveley, Dan’s father and Charlene’s father-in-law, also ex-pressed relief at the judge’s decision. There were moments over the course of the trial, he added, when he feared that Sater may not be

convicted. “I was worried about

it,” he said. “But we came through. It helps a lot. If he was walking the streets, it would be a problem so this does help a lot.”

On the night of the incident, Cruz and her boyfriend, Paulo Calimbahin, had been involved in a minor collision at Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Road in Coquitlam.

Charlene, Dan and two friends had wit-nessed the accident and

were helping Cruz and Calimbahin when the deadly crash occurred. Cruz and Charlene Reaveley were killed almost instantly while Calimbahin was seri-ously injured, losing his leg in the incident.

Last week, Justice James Williams agreed with the Crown’s as-sertions that Sater had consumed six double rye and Cokes and two Jagerbombs prior to get-ting behind the wheel.

Fire rips through home in PoCo

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

A giant plume of smoke could be seen for miles after fire broke out at a home in Port Coquitlam on Monday.

Firefighters responded to the blaze on Myrtle Way at around 3:30 p.m. and were still trying to suppress the flames when many people in the neighbourhood were re-turning home from work.

“Obviously, there were a lot of combus-tibles in the house,” said PoCo Fire Chief Nick Delmonico. “It was going pretty good. There was a lot of smoke.”

Because the home sat at the end of a cul-de-sac, firefighters had a dif-ficult time accessing the scene.

Many of the houses sit close together, Delmonico said, and it was difficult for trucks to get close enough to the blaze.

Eventually, firefight-ers moved a ladder truck into the area and began attacking the blaze from above, he added.

see CHIEF, page 2

Page 2: The Tri-City News, January 08, 2014

Chief: ‘The whole place was gone’“It was a very con-

fined space,” he said. “We threw a ton of water at it early but it was apparent that wasn’t going to put it out.”

Crews did a good job of protecting the neighbouring houses from f ire damage, Delmonico added. It took firefighters ap-proximately two hours to get the blaze under control.

Nobody was home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries in the incident.

There were early re-ports that a dog may have been in the home but Delmonico said that turned out to not be the case.

Many residents in the nearby neighbour-hood watched as the home burned. Fire in-vestigators were comb-ing through the rubble of the home Tuesday morning, searching for clues to what caused the blaze.

“In a fire like that, it can be difficult to make a determina-tion on cause because there is so much dam-age,” Delmonico said. “The whole place was gone by the time we left there.”[email protected]

The Coquitlam RCMP are seeking the public’s assis-tance in determining the cause of a vehicle collision on Mary Hill Bypass Monday morning.

By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam RCMP are calling for wit-nesses to come for-ward to report what they saw during a collision that took place at the intersec-tion of the Mary Hill bypass and Coast Meridian Road in Port Coquitlam at about 7 a.m. Monday morning.

Cpl. Jamie Chung said police are looking for eyewitnesses to the collision that occurred during the morning rush between a green Honda CRV and a black Ford F150 truck and sent two people to hospital.

The truck was travel-ling eastbound and was

badly damaged, but it was the driver of the CRV who sustained the life-threatening inju-ries and is still in Royal Columbian Hospital.

Chung said Tuesday that police are still un-sure of what caused the crash, although alcohol and drugs have been ruled out. The incident shut down eastbound Mary Hill traffic for several hours Monday.

“We would really ap-preciate a call either today or tonight to let us know what hap-pened before and dur-ing the crash,” he said.

Witnesses are asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1561 and ask to speak to Sgt. Dave [email protected]

Moving day at Pitt River middle schoolAfter $20 million rebuild, students & teachers get a look at new school

By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy News

“I was just kidding about the slippers.”

With his tongue some-what in cheek, principal Todd Clerkson urged his Pitt River students to take care of their brand new middle school while also cherishing the his-tory of their former school in a ceremony held Monday to mark the opening of the $20 million seismic rebuild.

“This should be a real memorable day for you guys,” Clerkson said, as he welcomed staff, guests and 450 students into the large new gym with its shiny floor, Voyageurs logo and mural , iPod plug ins and a bank of windows let-ting in the natural light.

In an earlier leaving ceremony at the old building Clerkson prom-ised students would get slippers with their name on them to wear to avoid scratching the gym floor. As he prepared them for the move, Clerkson reminded students that generations of peo-ple have attended the school, including home-town hero Terry Fox.

Lorne Lambert, who has taught music at the Port Coquitlam school for 34 years, played Auld Lang Syne on his sax for students and shared with The The Tri-City

News his mixed feelings about leaving the old school.

“I think I had my tears at Christmas concerts,” Lambert said while also acknowledging that he

is looking forward to getting his new room in order and welcoming students in to the high-ceilinged acoustically-designed space that opens onto an outdoor

plaza and amphitheater.“Here, I am focused

and excited,” Lambert said.

S t u d e n t s J o s h C a l d w e l l , Ta y l o r K r i s t m a n s o n a n d

Michael Wikinson said they were pleased with the new building with its polished concrete floors, high ceilings, wood de-tails, flexible spaces and high-tech equipment.

After they found their classroom on the sec-ond floor, Kristmanson and Wilkinson said they liked the open feeling of the building and the technology, including a projector in their room that is linked to the in-ternet. “It feels like a high school or univer-sity,” Kristmanson said.

Carrying her baby in her arms, French Immersion Grade 6-7 teacher Stephanie Kurylow said she was delighted to visit the school during her ma-ternity leave and was impressed with what she saw. “To finally have a building for these amazing kids is spec-tacular.”

Clerkson was given a gold hardhat for his work planning the new building and said some work was still needed to finish some trim details. Overall he thought the move was successful and students were proud of the building that ac-commodated many of their needs and desires into the design.

In addition to the large gym, woodwork-ing room, band room and community spaces, the new Pitt River mid-dle school has movable walls and brightly-coloured open spaces where teachers and stu-dents can collaborate. [email protected]

Church hopes bell tower rings in the new yearBy Diane Strandberg

The Tri-CiTy News

A handsome bell tower that gave St. Andrew’s United Church its distinc-tive mid-century modern-ist look and called the faithful to worship for de-cades will rise again.

This time, though, it will include six cellular anten-nas, making it a commu-nications tower for Rogers Communications as well.

The Canadian tele-communications giant is working with the small Port Moody congrega-tion on a plan to rebuild the tower that was nearly blown over in a wind-storm a few years ago. If PoMo council approves the project in 2014, the tower will be rebuilt and

the church will get a working electronic bell and other financial ben-efits from a long-term lease it hopes to sign with Rogers.

“The bell tower is part of the history of the church and he we are going to have a new one with a link to new modern technology,” said Charlie Young, chair of the church trustees.

This isn’t the first time Rogers has teamed with a church to be able to pro-vide its customers with cellphone coverage. A company spokesperson said similar arrangements have been established across Canada.

“The St. Andrews Church fulfills a coverage gap in the Rogers net-

work and the installation of Rogers antennas will provide faster and more reliable service to people and businesses in the surrounding area,” Peter Leathley said in an email.

Young said the arrange-ment should work out well for the church, which had to tear down the old bell tower when it started to lean. The old bell, which had been installed when the church was built in1957, hadn’t been used for years and had begun to rust. The new tower will have an electronic bell but Young isn’t sure if it will be used to call the faith-ful to church on Sunday morning.

“We have to talk about that,” he said. “I’m not too sure if a community

would want to have a bell ringing at five minutes to 10.”

But he said the church is happy to have the tower rebuilt and get some in-come from the deal to enable it to continue its service work in the com-munity. Young said the church is currently home to several groups and will shelter homeless people as part of the Hope for Freedom Society’s Bridge shelter program in early spring. According to the church’s website, the PoMo United Church got its start in the 1880s when the Rev. Ebenezer Robson of the Methodist church (a United church precursor) used to make his rounds and visit ships in the har-bour.

PLUG PLEASEMissing patient sought by police

A mental -heal th patient gone missing from the grounds of Coquitlam’s Riverview Hospital is now wanted on a Canada-wide war-rant.

Coquitlam RCMP on Tuesday reported Cao The Phan had left the Coast Cottages and is currently described as being unlawfully at large.

The 51-year-old Asian male is 5’ tall, weighs 148 pounds, has black thin-ning hair and is without his index and middle fin-gers on his right hand. He also walks with a limp.

P h a n s p e a k s Vietnamese and can un-derstand English.

This is not the first time he has gone missing from the facility.

In 2011, police re-ported that Phan had walked away from Riverview Hospital twice

— once in March a n d again in the fall.

At the t ime of those in-cidents,

the Provincial Health Services Authority, said the risk of Phan harming a member of the public was con-sidered low. However, the Coquitlam RCMP said that if he is seen he should not be ap-proached.

If you see Phan, po-lice ask you don’t ap-proach him but call 911 to report his where-abouts.

Work is expected to cause some noise and traffic detours in area

EGRT Construction has announced the be-ginning of construction for the Lincoln Station project at Coquitlam Centre mall and is ad-vising drivers and pe-destrians to watch out for signs and traffic control personnel dur-ing the work, which is expected to last until late 2015.

Construction is ex-pected to take place in a fenced off area from Monday through Saturday each week between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. The station is to be located in the north-eastern section of the C o q u i t l a m C e n t r e parking lot between Northern Avenue and Lincoln Avenue.

The public should expect some noise from hauling, piling and foundation work and shoppers may also notice some parking lot changes as well as sidewalk and traffic de-tours. But EGRT stated in a bulletin issued this week that every effort will be made to mini-mize disruption and maximize traffic flow.

The project is a mile-stone for Coquitlam which lobbied heavily for the Lincoln Station, which was finally added to the route with the contribution of $7 mil-lion from the federal government and the donation of land from Pensionfund Realty Ltd., a privately held real estate company that owns the mall.

Meanwhile, on the other end of town, some nighttime work will be necessary in the Lougheed Town Centre Station area beginning Jan. 13 and continuing to the end of March. According to EGRT, crews will be installing girders, deck panels and pouring concrete for the new elevated guideway

that will tie into the ex-isting SkyTrain system.

The nighttime work is necessary to avoid

disrupting daytime tran-sit service and because cranes have to be used to install large beams.

The work will take place from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. and some noise is expected although ef-forts will be made to reduce it. As well, there will be nighttime lane closures and detours along North Road. For example, southbound traffic on North Road will be detoured in-termittently at Austin Avenue to allow crews to begin installing gird-ers for the elevated guideway.

For more information about the project, visit www.evergreenline.gov.bc.ca or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/[email protected]

Lincoln Station construction gets underway in Coquitlam

tri-city newS file photo

A rendering shows what Lincoln Station will look like once it is complete. Construction has begun on the station and is expected to continue until 2015.

By Jeff NagelBlack Press

Most drivers crossing the Port Mann Bridge are now paying twice as much after a year-long half-price discount ended Jan. 1 and $3 regular tolls took effect.

That may spur more motorists to di-vert to the free Pattullo Bridge, or even to the Alex Fraser Bridge or Massey Tunnel via the newly opened South Fraser Perimeter Road.

Jordan Bateman, B.C. director with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said it’s un-fair that the province ended the introductory

discount when the Port Mann/Highway 1 proj-ect is not yet finished.

“I’m pretty disap-pointed they’ve decided to go to the full tolls without having the full bridge open,” Bateman said.

The province says the additional lanes now open west of the Port Mann are deliver-ing the full travel time savings, but the bridge itself will have eight rather than all 10 lanes open for much of this year while work contin-ues to dismantle the old span.

“We still don’t have the much-promised Surrey-to-Coquitlam

lane over the bridge,” Bateman said. “There’s still tonnes of weird detours for exits and temporary signage and overnight lane clo-sures. I’m not sure why we’re paying full price for something that isn’t fully finished.”

He predicts more drivers will dodge the $6 round-trip toll by using the Pattullo — which he said is “the last bridge you want to put more traffic on” — or the free crossings further south.

The full South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) is now open, speeding access to those cross-ings from Highway 1.

A driver that was not impaired, the judge stated, would have been able to see the two women on the road and safely negotiate the haz-ard.

“There is no reason available to explain why Mr. Sater failed to react,” Williams said in his de-cision. “The only conclu-sion I can draw is that his faculties were com-promised.”

In total, Sater was found guilty of six charges on Friday: two counts each of impaired driving and dangerous driving causing death and one count each of impaired driving and dangerous driving caus-ing bodily harm.

Earlier in the trial, Sater reversed his not guilty plea on one count of fleeing the scene of an accident. The Crown also dropped two counts of operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level

above .08.Williams said in most

cases, proving a count of impaired driving re-quires a breathalyzer reading or blood test showing the accused’s blood-alcohol level. Because Sater fled the scene, no evidence of that nature was available.

However, video foot-age showing Sater sit-ting at the bar consum-ing his beverages prior to the collision — along with a bill he signed for the eight drinks — went a long way toward prov-ing the Crown’s case, Williams said.

The judge also noted the testimony at trial of several pub staffers, who told the court that they had ceased serving Sater that night because he ap-peared to be inebriated, supported the prosecu-tions evidence.

Sater is currently out on bail and is expected to be sentenced on March [email protected]

Not too late to get vaccinated, officials say

By Jeff NagelBlack Press

Fraser Health is urg-ing residents to get the flu shot if they haven’t yet had it after a surge in severe cases of H1N1 influenza.

As of Monday, 30 patients sick with sus-pected H1N1 had been treated in hospital inten-sive care units with artifi-cial respiration, although some have since been discharged. One patient has died but the case has not yet been confirmed as H1N1 flu.

C h i e f M e d i c a l Health Officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder said the cases here are mirror-ing the pattern seen re-cently with outbreaks in Alberta, Ontario and Texas. Ill patients here are not the very elderly, but adults of various ages from 20 to 60, he

said. Two are pregnant women and others suffer from chronic illness or are very overweight.

“We’re surprised at how many have come in such a short period of time with such severe disease,” Van Buynder said.

Hospitalized patients are at Royal Columbian, Surrey Memorial and Abbotsford Regional hospitals, Van Buynder

said, but added that’s just because the most seri-ously ill patients concen-trate in the region’s three big hospitals.

The virus isn’t limited to any particular com-munity.

“This is right across Fraser,” he said.

Van Buynder said all patients currently hospi-talized with the flu are expected to survive, but he said the outbreak is disturbing.

“We are urging those who have not already had their flu shot to get one. It is not too late.”

Anyone who got the 2013 flu shot is im-munized against the now-circulating strain of H1N1, he said.

People who got the H1N1 flu shot in 2009 — when there was wide-spread concern about an outbreak of that strain — may have some immu-nity but are urged to get a new shot.

“We’re not sure whether this virus has moved a little bit,” Van

Buynder said. “We rec-ommend people get the current vaccine rather than relying on the previ-ous one.”

B .C .’ s In f luenza Control Policy came into effect Dec. 2. In addition to health care workers, anyone visiting someone

in a health-care facility will be expected to have been vaccinated or wear a mask to help protect those most vulnerable this influenza season.

For more information about influenza and vac-cination clinics, see im-munizebc.ca.

Severe H1N1 cases strike region

4.6 million now call B.c. home

B.C.’s population grew by 24,000 in the third quarter of 2013, reaching 4,606,375.

It’s the largest popu-lation increase for that quarter since 1996. The increase was mainly a result of 15,477 non-per-manent residents, which Statistics Canada warns are a volatile component of population measure-ment.

Northern B.C. com-munities are dealing with what they call “ghost pop-ulations,” with thousands of workers flying in and out of industrial camps who put pressure on local services without contrib-uting to communities.

Interprovincial mi-gration figures showed the seventh consecutive quarter of net loss for B.C., down 282 people from the second quarter.

B.C.’s total popula-tion increase over the 12 months ending Oct. 1 was 47,496 people. Natural growth (births minus deaths) accounted for 11,214 of the total.

VICTORIA

The new year lurched to life with a round of shouting about the environment, as

our post-industrial, post-literate urban society grapples with conflicting claims of impending doom.

The release of a group of Greenpeace pro-testers from a Russian prison was welcomed by TV news networks desperate to fill the holiday dead zone. Our intrepid Canadian pair got to describe over and over their bid to hang a strongly worded banner from a Russian offshore oil platform, and their horror when security forces boarded their vessel from heli-copters and seized it.

In all the fawning interviews, I kept waiting for two questions to be asked. What did they think Vladimir Putin’s regime would do? And what was the point? How is disrupting one oil

platform for an hour going to save the planet?The Greenpeace “activists” claimed this

was the first oil platform to operate above the Arctic Circle. So it was a line in the snow, which I’m sure impressed Putin as he ramps up his territorial claim to include the North Pole.

Meanwhile at the South Pole, TV anchors remained carefully sombre as they reported numerous bids to rescue a scientific vessel trapped in thick ice. No quips about the pre-dictive abilities of climate scientists please!

In fact, this ill-fated voyage was a re-enact-ment of Sir Douglas Mawson’s 1913 expedi-tion, with pro-global warming news outlets BBC and The Guardian aboard to capture the melting wrought by a century of industrial expansion. The rescue efforts (from a Russian ship by Chinese helicopters) also disrupted an Australian icebreaker’s supply trip for one of the real scientific expeditions working in Antarctica.

Skeptics had great fun with the Antarctic debacle, as they did earlier with the resur-

gence of Arctic ice that trapped climate tour-ists.

As is normal in the Internet age, the climate debate has split into two fanatical factions, each of which promotes the most extreme examples it can find to prop up its version of truth. They call each other “warmists” and “de-niers” among other pithy names.

Greenpeace is now known in B.C. as part of our Team America anti-tar sands brigade. They got off to a good start in 2014 by selectively seizing on reports of a new study of mercury contamination in northern Alberta.

A “bullseye” of this dreaded neurotoxin has been drawn around oilsands operations by measuring traces in snow. The study by Environment Canada scientists isn’t published yet, but Postmedia News reported on a presen-tation in November by the researchers.

“The federal scientists stress the mercury loadings around the oilsands are low com-pared to the contamination seen in many parts of North America including southern Ontario and southern Quebec,” the news report states.

This is like the study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution in northern Alberta lakes that was twisted into propa-ganda and fed to the news media last year. This is another group of neurotoxins that are far more concentrated in urban areas than around remote industry.

Consumption, rather than production of coal, diesel and other fuels produces the vast majority of these emissions. I look forward to the study of their effects around Lost Lagoon and Burnaby Lake.

Of course safe levels of these materials have been set by Health Canada. You’re more likely to get significant exposure to mercury from a broken fluorescent lamp or the mercury amal-gam in your old tooth fillings than you are from feeding ducks at the lake, although you might get a whiff of PAH when you gas up the car or board the bus.

2014 marks another year of enviro-wars

Cold, hard facts If you got through the holiday season without getting

a cold or the flu, count yourself lucky.This is flu season and many people are ending up

sick and even in hospital. But does that mean you should arm yourself with a

vaccine? The Fraser Health Authority says yes, espe-cially after more than a dozen people landed in hospital across the region, with many still being ventilated on respirators.

The sufferers include pregnant women, some elderly people, and people with a chronic illness or who are se-verely overweight. It seems like a no-brainer for people to get a flu shot, even now, with the cold and flu season half over.

Getting a flu shot is relatively painless, compared to the cold, chills, fever and other symptoms of a bad flu, it’s not that expensive, and they are available at just about every corner pharmacy, and the public health of-fice. Many people qualify for free vaccines.

So what stops people from getting them?Well, the recent brouhaha with the BC Nurses Union

might have struck a blow against the credibility of the vaccination campaign. Health care workers fought and lost a battle to force them to get mandatory vaccines and were told to submit to a needle or wear a mask. The union doesn’t believe health care workers should be forced to get a vaccination and there is dispute about the effectiveness of the flu shot.

Unlike most of us, nurses can get free vaccinations on the job site, but if the nurses aren’t 100% behind a vac-cination campaign, why should anyone else be?

Both the provincial nurses union and the Canadian Federation of Nurses support vaccinations generally, just not mandatory shots for their workers, believing that education rather than discipline is better for raising vaccination rates.

That stance might appease union members wishing to assert their rights, but it’s giving the public a mixed message. If the flu shot is the right way to go, nurses and other health care workers should be setting an ex-ample for everyone.

The Editor,While the Evergreen

Line is being built, mer-chants on North Road have lost their parking. Any loss of revenue of this nature would have been disastrous for us, had it happened while we were in business. This is a repeat of the ridicu-lous situation, when mer-chants on Cambie Street lost a lot of income while the Canada Line was under construction.

When land is needed for a pipeline, the owners get compensated. When

new roads need to be built, all concerned may expect compensation. Hollywood North makes arrangements during their movie shoots.

I even recall a home-less person who de-manded compensation from the movie com-pany for loss of income because his “customers” needed to use the side-walk on the opposite side of the street.

City management should be commended if they were on a mission to treat taxpayer money

with a little more respect and reduced their ever-increasing spending habits. However, singling out and bankrupting tax-paying merchants will clearly not serve any-body. Whenever infra-structure of this nature is contemplated it should

include compensation for those negatively ef-fected. It was success-fully done in Seattle. It should never prompt court actions which, I am sure, the merchants must consider at this point.Ziggy EckardtBurnaby

The Editor,During the holiday

season it was obvious that the parking facili-ties at all shopping areas were almost full to ca-pacity.

Another thing I did notice was that 90% of the people who parked in the designated handi-capped parking spaces were far from handi-capped, despite having the official card hanging on the mirror. Is it that these people do the shop-ping for disabled people? Even if this is the case, why should they get the benefit of having avail-

able parking so close to the entrance if they are perfectly capable of get-ting around easily.

I’d like to see the oc-casional policing of these spaces with culprits of the misdemeanor being heavily fined.   C. Grindley-FerrisCoquitlam

The Editor,Re. “A minor issue with B.C.’s new pub rules”

(As I See it, The Tri-City News, Jan. 3).I, too, have the same record of not entering

Chuck E Cheese. See, we have something in common.

Having children doesn’t make me want to eat horrible pizza in a room full of over-excited children. I also don’t care for Denny’s and other low-end “family” restaurants.  See — having chil-dren doesn’t kill my tastebuds. I don’t want to eat those restaurant offerings and I don’t want to feed it to my children.

Nice try with the idea that I’ll be driv-ing drunk with my kids. A valiant attempt to get others on board with your point of view. However, parents aren’t the only ones who shouldn’t drink and drive.

Even childless You shouldn’t drive after spending “an hour or two drinking.”

I’m sure you agree?I wouldn’t be worried about pubs los-

ing your business, which I am assuming you might threaten to take away. Pubs in the United Kingdom are thriving, and hey, they allow chil-dren. Goodbye draconian laws, hello European style lunches.

PLACE DES ARTS

Vancouver fashion historian Ivan Sayers worked for 20 years at the Vancouver Museum and was its curator of history from 1976 to 1990.

Dior, anyone?By Janis Warren

The Tri-CiTy NeWs

If you ask Vancouver fashion histo-rian Ivan Sayers for his view on the threads typically worn today, he will

likely give you a blunt answer. “I try not to think about it,” he states. 

Truth is, his career goal was to be-come an archeologist so it’s in Sayers’ DNA to dig for older things and un-cover the society from which they arose.

Sayers says he’s too close to the era to analyze modern garments properly, and he hardly ever goes into clothing stores. “Now, it’s more about novelty,” he said. 

Haute couture is about quality, he said, that showcases the best fabrics and cuts and measures proportions and ratios as an art form. The expectation is that it is meant to last.

“Nowadays, people want something they can wear once or twice,” he said. “Go to Value Village. You will see thou-sands and thousands of garments — some of them with their tags still on them.”

But contemporary styles aren’t what Sayers will be speaking about next week at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts.

Rather, he’ll concentrate on one of his favourite fashion eras: post-World War II, in particular, women’s garments from the 1940s to 1963 and how de-signers such as Dior, Balenciaga and Schiaparelli changed the landscape with their collections.

During the war, when limitations were put on fabric and women worked for the campaign, women’s clothing was more masculine with padded, square shoulders and no embellish-ments, explained Sayers whose parents were part of the Canadian Army.

With Dior’s 1947 “New Look” came an extreme reversal from rationing to indulgence.

“It really was about walking away from the war and trying to turn to a newer and happier society.”

The emphasis was placed on full skirts — the lower half of the body ver-sus the top in the ‘40s — that created a more feminine approach to fashion as well as a demand on fabric. 

Besides the exaggerated figure, shoulders became more round, colours were softer, patterns were prettier, and glitter and romance (in the form of beads, sequins and artificial flowers, for example) were prominent. Gloves

were ornamental rather than practical and shoes were high. The style is what Sayers describes as “beauty by impair-ment” because “you couldn’t do aggres-sive things. It was the woman who was the ornament. It might not be politically correct but it was the thought of the moment.”

Some reasoning behind the glamour was that men were in short supply and, as a result, women had to dress up to catch a husband in order to make a home, he said.

“After the war, there was a big push to create the perfect society that sup-posedly the war was fought for. In other words, women were going to give up their careers and have children.

“The fashion was sort of geared to that reality.”

However, that fell by the wayside heading toward the late ‘50s and early ‘60s as fashion changed tack to reflect a more youthful “Barbie doll” style.

Sayers’ presentation in Coquitlam on Jan. 16 — the first in the 2014 Salon Speaker Series at Place des Arts (and is already sold out) — will also in-clude items from his extensive personal collection such as a 1954 dress from the French designer Paquin.

Whiskey, haggis to toast the Scottish bardA lively Celtic band will once again

pay homage to the Scottish poet Robbie Burns at a celebration dinner and concert at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts next week.

Blackthorn will return to the Maillardville facility for the feast and show on Saturday, Jan. 18 for the sec-ond annual Burns’ tribute night.

Blackthorn fiddler Rosie Carver, who has been a Place des Arts faculty mem-ber for four years, said the band this year will focus on songs and poems of Burns, who was born on Jan. 25, 1759.

“We’ll have some beautiful ballads as well as some boisterous things that we’ll be playing so it’s definitely going to be a mix of tunes and instrumental,”

she said.But before Blackthorn starts up, at-

tendees will be served a hearty Scottish stew with skirlie potato cakes, green salad and whiskey-soaked sponge cake and sweet cream (a vegetarian version is also available).

And as with the inaugural Burns’ night in 2012, Michael Fera — Place des Arts’ special events co-ordinator — will be in the kitchen to prepare the grub.

“He did such a great job last year with the traditional meal,” Carver said. “Everyone was very satisfied.”

As for the address to the haggis, Maillardville native and piper Vincent Coulombe (the nephew of Blackthorn’s Michael Viens) will deliver the speech

during the concert intermission. And whiskey, wine and beer can be

had at the cash bar to wash down the dish.

The party isn’t just for Scots or those with a Celtic blood, said Carver, who has a Hungarian background.

“Certainly anybody is welcome,” she said, adding, “The charm is sharing it in such a beautiful location, and it’s such a wonderful room to play in because of the acoustics.”

• Tickets for the dinner and concert are $35, or for the concert only $15/$13. Call 604-664-1636 or go online to pla-cedesarts.ca to save a seat.

From film to paint

By Janis WarrrenThe Tri-CiTy NeWs

Two years ago, when work in the film industry scaled back in Vancouver, Lions Bay costume cutter Druh Ireland started painting full time in her home studio.

She had taken a few classes at Capilano University and at Emily Carr University of Art + Design but, for the most part, she was self-taught.

“I didn’t really want to learn to paint in the classical way. I didn’t want to get wrecked,” she said with a laugh.

So she began to experiment with oil and acrylic paints in an attempt to find her “voice.”

The results of what she calls her “fumbling around” can be seen in a new solo show, titled You Are Here, which opens Thursday at Place des Arts in Coquitlam.

Ireland has 15 works on display, most of them abstracts mea-suring 40 by 50 inches each; she also in-cluded, at the last min-ute, three paintings of Marilyn Monroe’s face in the screening style of Andy Warhol.

You Are Here is Ireland’s first exhibit at the Maillardville gallery and her third solo show. A member of the North Shore Community Arts Council, Ireland has also participated in group displays in the Lower Mainland and in Kelowna.

She likes having her name out there and her work being seen. “Film work is a great, big collaboration and painting is all me,” Rosie Carver (with violin), Michelle

Carlisle, Michael Viens and Tim Renaud of Blackthorn will honour Robbie Burns.

New singers wantedMore singers are sought for Tri-City’s newest

adult choir.Choral Connections, a 60-plus ensemble that

rehearses Tuesday nights at Riverside secondary school in Port Coquitlam, will be accepting new members until Jan. 28.

The group, which next meets on Jan. 14 at the high school (2215 Reeve St.), is under the direc-tion of Michael Grice — a charter member of the Chor Leoni Men’s Choir and a former music director of the Coquitlam-based Coastal Sound adult choir — and is accompanied by Vincent Lo.

Last month’s Christmas concert at Coquitlam’s St. Laurence Anglican Church was sold-out. Visit choralconnections.ca or email [email protected].

First PdA showIreland said.

You Are Here can be interpreted in two ways, she said. “It’s my version of ‘I Was Here’.... This is me in my development as an artist and working toward my goals.

“But it’s also for the viewer in the gallery to look at the richness of the canvas and to bring them into a moment of consciousness.”

She added, “We all get very easily distracted. People need to take time out to enjoy what’s in front of them.”

• The opening recep-tion for Druh Ireland’s You Are Here is on Thursday, Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave.,

Coquitlam). Other ex-hibits starting tomorrow are Talking to Strangers (multiple media by Bill Edmonds); Play (mixed media installation by Rachael Stableford and Marisa Pahl); and Shape and Shade (oil, acrylic and mixed media on can-vas by Ximeng Guo). The art shows are up until Feb. 22.

GirLS ChOirB.C.’s premiere choir

for girls needs new sing-ers for its 2013-’14 season.Students as young as Grade 1 can

join the B.C. Girls Choir (BCGC), which this year is marking its 10th an-niversary.

The celebratory year will be filled with con-certs, camps and festival performances.

Exciting additions to the calendar include hosting the world-famous Australian Girls Choir and being the opening act for a Valentine’s Day concert with The Nylons. 

The choir is led by professional singer and music educator Fiona Blackburn.

“By providing the girls with an environment in which they can be taught to sing well, perform great literature and cre-ate strong and long last-ing relationships: How can they not succeed?

“Children are innately creative beings and they want to share their work with the people they love and admire.

“As a choral leader, my job is to facilitate what comes naturally to young people,” Blackburn said in a news release.

Interested singers are invited to participate in a rehearsal — at no charge — in order to get a feel for what BCGC is all about.

To reserve a space for an introductory re-hearsal/audition, phone or email Lynn van Zanten at 604-542-1698 or [email protected].

T h r e e - o n - t h r e e hockey and even a penalty shot couldn’t separate the Coquitlam Express and Cowichan Valley Capital Saturday night.

The Express and Capitals fought to a 4-4 overtime tie in front of 1,300 fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

“ I t doesn ’ t hap-pen very often, that’s for sure, especially with the three-on-three,” Express coach Barry Wolff said of Coquitlam’s first tie of the year.

“ F o r w h a t e v e r reason , I thought Cowichan outplayed us in overtime. At least they got more shots, I don’t know if they were quality. We definitely had the chance to win it with the penalty shot.”

Adam Rockwood was awarded the pen-alty shot with less than two minutes remaining in the second overtime.

“He had him beat but he couldn’t get it upstairs. He had to go upstairs with it and he kind of caught a bunch of snow,” said Wolff.

Cowichan’s Jarrett Brown opened the scoring with a short-handed marker in the first period. Goals by Ryan Rosenthal and Joey Santucci gave the Express the lead but Mason Malkowich

pulled the Capital even despite being outshot 19-8 in the period.

“Their guy played real well in net,” Wolff

sa id o f Cowichan goalie Robin Gusse, who turned aside 40 shots.

“We did dominate

most of the game but they got a couple of chances and scored.”

The Capitals jumped ahead 4-2 in the sec-

ond before Jace Hennig brought the Express b a c k w i t h i n o n e . Rosenthal’s second of the game tied things up

five minutes into the third period.

“We battled back and tied it up but we just couldn’t pull it out,”

said Wolff, who was im-pressed with his team’s ability to battle back.

“It’s just the charac-ter in the room and the mentality that we need to play 60 minutes. The game’s never over until that final whistle.”

G o r d i e D e f i e l made 32 saves in the Coquitlam net and Wolff singled out the play of Rockwood, who finished the night with his league-leading 41st assist of the year.

“I thought Rockwood played one of his best games of the year. He’s just so patient with the puck. He’s starting to figure out the defensive part of the game which is huge for him in his development,” said the coach.

The Express cur-rently si t in third spot in the Mainland Division with 40 points in 38 games, eight back of Prince George. They make their way over the Coquihalla over the weekend, facing off against the West Ke l ow n a Wa r r i o r s Friday before taking on the Vernon Vipers Saturday.

“It’s going to be two tough games, West Kelowna is good and Vernon obviously is making the Royal Bank Cup run so they’ll be two tough games for us. We just have to play our game and make sure we’re strong de-fensively,” said [email protected]
