Plane crash takes life of PoMo man Roger Knox BLACK PRESS

Ro n a l d C a m e r o n knows he’s lucky.

Had he not turned his head to the right while enjoying a break from a bike ride at Vernon’s Marshall Field, Cameron might have been an onthe-ground victim of Saturday afternoon’s plane crash that killed pilot James Langley, 59, of Kelowna, and his passenger, Karim Makalai, 53, of Port Moody; they were married to sisters Sheneez Makalai and Shaida Langley.

The brothers-inlaw were killed after Langley’s twin engine Piper PA-23 aircraft crashed into the popular Okanagan Landing soccer field, which neighbours Vernon Airport, shortly after takeoff, just after 1 p.m.

Makalai, a software engineer, had recently lear ned to play the guitar after taking lessons for most of 2011 with Sami Ghawi of FUSIONpresents in Coquitlam.

“Karim was such a generous and sweet soul, with a true passion and appreciation for music,” Ghawi said.

Onlookers survey the remains of a Piper twin engine aircraft that crashed into a field in Vernon on Saturday.

“He was always smiling, no matter what he was going through in his life, and he always lit up the studio with his presence.

“He will be forever missed as one of our favourite students.”

Witnesses said the craft nearly hit the indoor soccer centre also located at Marshall Field in Vernon.

“The planes are flying out every 10 to 15 minutes and they all have different sounds, you can hear them if it’s quiet and if you don’t hear them anymore, they’ve gone,” said the 60-year-old Cameron. see PLANE, page 3

Knotweed menaces Metro landscape

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

BLACK PRESS PHOTO

Japanese knotweed, a nearly invincible plant, is seen at one of the footings of the Ironworker’s Memorial bridge.

It is truly a demon weed.

Japanese knotweed, n ow r u n n i n g r a m pant across Metro Vancouver, can drill through asphalt, crack house foundations and spring back from virtually any non-chemical attempt to eradicate it.

And it now has transp o r t at i o n m i n i s t r y of ficials scrambling after it was discovered splitting concrete in the footings of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and infesting a Burnaby section of the $3.3-billion Port Mann/ Highway 1 expansion project.

“It’s a monster plant,” said Jennifer

Grenz, program manager at the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver. “And it’s a huge issue in terms of infrastructure and safety.”

She said some Highway 1 construction in Burnaby from B o u n d a r y Ro a d t o Canada Way may be delayed while plants are sprayed and given

time to die, adding they would otherwise grow right back up through t h e p ave m e n t . T h e council, which manages invasive plants on local highways, is now moving to assess all provincial highway bridge and overpass footings in the region. see NEARLY,, page 3

Plane ‘didn’t sound right’ prior to crash continued from front page

He had ridden his bike from his downtown Vernon apartment to Okanagan Lake — something he does four to five times a week — and had stopped at a bench at Marshall Field on his way home. Cameron was just about to head home after a nearly 45-minute rest when the unthinkable happened.

“This one, I didn’t see it as much as I heard it. It was really loud because it was so close. It got my attention. “ I l o o ke d t o t h e right and it was coming right towards me, I don’t know, about 100 feet away and off the ground. I just froze.

Then, after a couple of seconds, I ran into the soccer fields. Seconds later, it crashed.”

Langley’s plane clipped a tree, hit the very bench Cameron had been sitting on, and burst into flames.

Cameron said the plane “didn’t sound right, like it was sputtering,” and estimates if the pilot had any sort of

“It was listing to the left really bad,” said Cameron, who retired to Vernon six months ago

after a 40-year career in Regina as a precast concrete employee. “To me, when it hit some little trees, it started on fire even before it hit the concrete bench.

It looked like it was al-

Coquitlam is keeping an eye on Japanese knotweed throughout the city and, while it’s “everywhere,” it’s not proving a problem for roads, infrastructure or houses.

“It’s a big problem in Coquitlam, like everywhere else,” said Lanny Englund, urban forestry operations manager.

Coquitlam inventories and maps the locations of knotweed as part of its invasive plant management strategy.

The map shows knotweed scattered throughout the city, with some of the most concentrated areas in the southwest, near Como Creek, and around DeBoville Slough.

“We spend a fair bit

“We spend a fair bit of time trying to control it, but it’s a tough plant to control.”

Municipalities in the Tri-Cities are trying to control the spread of Japanese knotweed, an invasive plant species that is scattered throughout the region. of time trying to control it, but it’s a tough plant to control,” Englund said, adding the Friends of DeBoville Slough have been battling it for years, even before the invasive plant management strategy was developed.

T he trouble with knotweed, Englund said, is its ability to spread

quickly from root fragments.

In Port Coquitlam, staf f are battling knotweed along the Traboulay PoCo Trail using mechanical control measures, said Todd Gross, manager of parks and services.

PoCo is also in the process of establishing an inventory of knot-

weed locations before developing a management strategy.

PoCo staff work with residents to educate them about the plant if it’s on their property, and supplies them with information from the Metro Vancouver Invasive Species Council for removal.

No information was available from Port Moody before The TriCity News’’ deadline.

Nearly invincible plant challenges road builders continued from front page

By Sarah Payne

being void of soccer activity Saturday, Cameron decided to stop there instead of on a bench at Kin Beach on Okanagan Lake for his rest.

He said about 15 to 20 minutes before the crash, people had been coming in and out of the indoor soccer centre.

On Monday, Cameron said he had trouble sleeping Saturday night, but was doing okay.

“I’m just lucky and fortunate,” he said softly.

“There was nothing I could have done. I almost wanted to get on my bike and get out of there. You know there’s at least one person in the plane, but it was in flames.

“I feel bad about the fatalities.”

He was taken care of

at the field Saturday by “a nice police officer,” who explained that his bike — knocked quite a ways from where it had been parked as a result of the plane’s impact — would have to be left there as evidence. The officer retur ned the bike, which needs some repairs, to Cameron Sunday night.

“It’s not severely damaged but I can’t even think about that, not with two people dead,” he said.

The B.C. Coroners Service, with the assistance of the RCMP and the Transportation Safety Board, is continuing to investigate the deaths.

Weather conditions were very good at the time of the crash, with sunshine and clear skies. It’s believed the pair stopped in Vernon to refuel the plane, but where they were heading, and where the flight originated from, has not yet been released by officials.

Grenz urges local cities to do the same with their roads and bridges.

A transportation ministry spokesperson said the weed won’t delay the completion of the Highway 1 project and said the infestation at the north end of the Ironworkers bridge is not serious but is being treated.

“This plant is capable of growing through 3 m of concrete,” Grenz said, adding she fears it could also rupture fuel pipelines where she has seen it growing. “It can very easily grow through a pipeline, making it a very serious public safety concern.”

Plenty of land slated for housing is infested,

she said, adding h o m e buyers m a y l a t e r f i n d their GRENZ dream h o m e has a nightmare of knotweed growing under it because developers failed to correctly remove it. Steminjected herbicides are the only practical way to kill knotweed, according to Grenz.

But she said bylaws banning cosmetic pesticide use in many cities have sown confusion over when chemicals can or should be used to kill weeds. Herbicides can be used to control knotweed and certain other species listed

under the B.C. Weed Control Act, which trumps local bylaws.

Metro Vancouver lacks a co-ordinated regional strategy to battle introduced species, unlike the Fraser Valley and most other regions of B.C. “Everyone is working in isolation and trying different things,” Grenz said.

One park or property may be treated with herbicide but an adjoining one isn’t, defeating the investment of the responsible owner.

Grenz appeared before Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee last Wednesday, asking for a $40,000 one-time grant to help develop a regional plan for invasive pests.

MLA, bystander save life with CPR

By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Mikhail Morokhovich doesn’t remember anything about the day in February when he collapsed on a Coquitlam sidewalk, but he’s deeply grateful that two people stopped to help him.

One of those people was Mike Farnworth, the NDP MLA for Port Coquitlam and health critic. He and his partner were heading out to Langley when they decided to stop in Burke Mountain to check out some new homes. On the way out Farnworth noticed Morokhovich lying face-down on the sidewalk and knew something was wrong.

They pulled over and called 911; Farnworth ran to the nearest intersection to get the street names for the paramedics and by the time he got back, James Smith was also on the scene.

Together, the two men perfor med CPR on Morokhovich until emergency personnel arrived. Morokhovich was taken to hospital, and Farnworth admits he thought the man was dead. “I didn’t know he’d survived until much later,� Farnworth said. “It’s pretty special to see someone you’d thought was dead, and to see them alive and with their family.�

Both Smith and Farnworth credit their CPR training with saving Morokhovich’s life.

Smith, who spent five years as a lifeguard and kept his certification current since then, was driving home when he

Farnworth and James Smith (far right) performed CPR on Morokhovich after he collapsed on a Coquitlam sidewalk. noticed Morokhovich and started CPR. “He was able to be a father to his children again, and a husband to his wife,� Smith said. “It’s a great thing.�

Farnworth learned CPR at a one-hour training session in Victoria two years ago and said when it came time to put the training into action, he couldn’t help but flash back to a first aid course he took as a 14-year-old at summer camp. “It’s difficult to put it into words,� he said of the experience. “It just makes you feel really happy. Life’s short, and Mike’s around to be a father and a husband and see his kids grow up.�

The Ambulance Paramedics of BC reco gniz ed Smith and Farnworth at an event outside his constituency office on Monday, at which Morokhovich and his family were also present.

Morokhovich’s wife, Melina, said her husband was always healthy and active; he’d played soccer earlier in the day and had gone home and showered. He didn’t feel well and decided to take a walk around their Burke Mountain neighbourhood when he collapsed from a heart attack that doctors call the “widow maker.� “CPR works, and

we’re just so grateful they stopped,� Melina said, adding it was terrifying to think of the alternative.

Her husband spent three weeks in a coma and still has a long way to go in his recovery, Melina said, “but it could have been worse.

We’re very lucky.� “I’m just very grateful that these two men saved my dad’s life,� added the couple’s 14-year-old son, Cole. “It’s awesome.� “According to my doctor, only 5% of people survive a heart attack such as mine and only 1% do not need lifelong care afterwards,�

Morokhovich said in a release. “Thanks to Mike, James and their CPR training I fall into that 1%. I’ve been given a second chance that I will cherish forever.�

The paramedics who responded to the 911 call, Jim Forsdike and Rob

Lube ube be Express ess

MacMillan, said it was the early bystander CPR perfor med by Smith and Far nworth that saved Morokhovich’s life. Without it, they might have been able to re-start his heart but by then Morokhovich’s brain would have been without oxygen for too long, MacMillan said. “CPR does save lives,� he said.

The APBC recommends everyone learn CPR and follow these steps: • Call for help and look for danger. • Open the airway and check if the person is breathing. • If there are no signs of normal breathing, perform chest compressions — compress the middle of the chest two inches straight down at a rate of about 100 compressions per minute. • Don’t stop. Continue until paramedics arrive.

Centennial house gets new address

By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Centennial House is settling in to its new digs after moving from Clarke to Kyle street over the weekend.

Crews started preparing the house at 7 p.m. on Friday night. The slow march from 2714 Clarke St., up Moody Street and down St. Johns to Kyle Streets lasted from midnight to 6 a.m. Saturday morning and went off without a hitch, said city spokesperson Jillian McCavour.

Built in 1913, the Edwardian-style home once belonged to Frederick Appleyard, who served on city council in 1917 and 1919, as well as a term as a school trustee.

A total of 128 youth from the Coquitlam RCMP detachment area got a piece of paper to add to their walls last Friday after graduating from the second annual Junior Mounties Police Academy.

The July 6 ceremony at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex was the culmination of four days of intensive police study, where students in Grades 5 to 8 had the chance to get up and close with officers’ work and gear, including at an Interactive Emergency Response Fair held earlier that morning.

The junior Mounties — grouped in teams with leaders and clad in colour-coded t-shirts —

as well as members of the public were invited to touch some equipment used by Coquitlam Search and Rescue, the RCMP’s Underwater Recovery Team, the RC M P ’s E x p l o s ive s Disposal Unit and the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, among others.

Bow and arrow ban implemented in Coq. Guns still permitted in remote areas & shooting ranges in city

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The days of hunting with a bow and arrow are over in Coquitlam, but you can still fire a shotgun in two remote northeast areas and at shooting ranges in the city.

The decision made

by Coquitlam council this week in a 5-4 vote comes a year after a wounded bear — shot with a bow and arrow — left a northeast blueberry farm and stumbled into Minnekhada regional park, a popular spot for hikers.

The incident prompted city council to call for a bow and arrow ban; however, over the next few months, it transformed into a bow and arrow as well as a firearms discharge prohibition — much to the chagrin of many Lower Mainland hunters who lobbied

break the bylaw, Mayor Richard Stewart admitted it will be a challenge. “Don’t tell anybody but we probably won’t be enforcing it very much.”

C o u n c i l ’s d e b a t e centered on hunters’ rights versus the population growth in northeast Coquitlam, which 20,000 more people are expected to call home.

Councillors Ter ry O’Neill, Linda Reimer, Brent Asmundson and Lou Sekora and Mayor Stewart supported some firearm discharge around Pitt River while Selina Robinson, Mae Reid, Neal Nicholson and Craig Hodge voted against the motion.

Re i m e r s a i d 9 0 0 Coquitlam residents have firearms licences and the city hasn’t had any incidents related to hunting in rural northeast Coquitlam.

Responded Nicholson: “This is a recreational area. We’re not the district of Coquitlam in 1965. This is the city of Coquitlam in 2012.

There are people all over the place.”

c o u n cil and spoke at a town hall meeting to call for a bylaw change.

REIMER Ve r n e Kucy, acting manager of Coquitlam’s environmental services, said the new policy, as adopted at Monday’s council meeting, strikes a balance for both hunters and environmentalists (the new bylaw stops gun use on far mland unless the owner needs to protect his crops, as allowed under provincial legislation).

Paul Juoksu, a Coquitlam hunter who pressed council to rework the policy, thanked council on Monday for listening to the hunting community to control the geese from Goose Island and the Pitt-Addington Marsh Wildlife Area foreshore.

Police are searching for a group of jewelry thieves who did thousands of dollars in damage when they drove a stolen vehicle through the doors of Coquitlam Centre Friday morning to rob a Ben Moss store.

Security cameras show that shortly after 5 a.m. at least four masked suspects left the scene with a significant amount of stolen property. A fifth man is believed to have used a second stolen vehicle to aid in the suspect’s escape. “ T h e y we r e a b l e to drive the vehicle into the mall,” said Coquitlam RCMP Sgt. Tim Sylvestri. “We don’t have a full stolen property list but it looks like they committed a fairly significant theft.”

The suspects also attempted to rob a Dallany Jewellery Designs but were not able to get into the store.

A stolen vehicle the thieves used to flee the scene was found in Coquitlam off Dewdney Trunk Road shortly

after police were called.

There, police believe the group used a third stolen vehicle to leave that area, which was later found abandoned in another part of the city.

Sylvestri said the mall has 24-hour security and several employees at some of the major anchor stores were in the building when the incident occurred.

On Monday, RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said police were still reviewing video tape and interviewing witnesses.

He noted that while the suspects were masked at the time of the theft, they may not have been when they stole the vehicles they used to assist them with the robbery.

“It seems like when they were out there stealing the vehicles earlier there may have been some people who saw them in the act,” he said. “Hopefully someone will be able to give us a plate or give us a description or even know who they are.”

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550.

AirCare is over (it’s about time)

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

A

irCare will die a natural death in December 2014. It is long overdue.

The provincial program, run by a private operator under TransLink oversight, was instituted in the dying days of the Social Credit government, which was desperate to be seen as doing something about air pollution from vehicles.

AirCare has been unpopular from the beginning but at first it did serve a purpose. When the program began, there were a lot of polluting vehicles on the road; some had emissions-control equipment disabled while others belched oil and smoke because of engine wear. And there was nothing to stop such vehicles from being driven indefinitely.

AirCare either forced these vehicles off the road or into a shop for needed repairs.

But the testing was erratic at first, with vehicles failing at one test station and passing at another.

The program was updated several times, with newer vehicles only requiring two-year inspections, and the newest vehicles not needing them at all. This is because vehicle emission standards are much higher than they were in the early 1990s.

As a result, AirCare hasn’t really been necessary for some time. There simply aren’t enough older vehicles on the road to make the expensive and bureaucratic program necessary.

And frustration is quick to mount for drivers of newer, lower-emission vehicles as they are forced — even if only every second year — to pay for an AirCare test that is often passed with flying colours, thus rendering the program nothing more than a cash-grab from the government.

It would be more logical to give police and commercial vehicle inspectors the power to take polluting vehicles off the road or order them to be tested.

Random enforcement is best in an era when emission standards are much higher than they used to be.

Historical nuggets from Bill Barlee’s gold pan BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – Shortly after word came of the death of B.C. historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced half a dozen of his original self-published quarterlies, known as Canada Westt magazine.

The earliest one is Winter 1970, where the publisher’s note advises that subscription rates were increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscriptions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or U.S. subscriptions.

The only colour pages in the issue are high-quality prints of four majestic paintings commissioned for the magazine. Irvine Adams’ scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the Okanagan-Similkameen include

2012 CCNA

The Gateway to Inkameep, where Barlee remarks: “Today that stream which once teemed with redfish no longer surrenders its once-valued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.”

With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends.

“Lost gold mine at Pitt Lake” analyzes and adds to earlier accounts that begin with an aboriginal miner known as Slumach, who would periodically arrive in New Westminster to squander a small fortune in gold, then disappear up the remote tidal lake. Slumach was hanged for murder in 1891 and in the next 70 years, 11 more men would die trying to find his secret. A scientist as well as a storyteller, Barlee concluded that the area’s geology is wrong and the fabled gold-laden creek “probably does not exist.”

A passion for prospecting runs through the magazines, and hints at Barlee’s aversion to treasure-seeking Americans. They

TRI-CITY NEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATION 53,469 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703

overran B.C. in historic waves to take gold, and according to Nelson Starr reporter Greg Nesteroff, Barlee believed they continued to loot Canadian heritage sites.

Nesteroff was inspired by Barlee’s work, and traced his lonely mission to restore the ghost town of Sandon, “the mining capital of the Silvery Slocan.”

Barlee bought a surviving block of buildings in an effort to make Sandon another Barkerville, but heavy snow collapsed them.

As tourism minister, Barlee found money to build replicas, and construction began on three.

But Barlee lost his Penticton seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election, and today only half-built shells remain.

“He was still selling Sandon’s restoration as an economic saviour for the region when he ran for federal office in 2000,” Nesteroff writes. “But by then he was ridiculed for it, and finished a distant second.”

Barlee’s 1972 Canada Westt profile of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minis-

ter in the 1990s. Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history.

Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert.

I first discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital Newss in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade.

Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

Private power will cost consumers The Editor, What a terrible mess B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial government has made of our public power. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the second lowest hydro rates in Canada but since the province has embarked on its punishing changes, we now have a serious problem. The BC Utilities Commission was told by BC Hydro management that we will need an increase in rates of about 100% over the next decade.

This has come about because it fostered and signed dozens of private power contracts at double the

the Interior, $700 million; build a northwest transmission line, $560 million; upgrade the Ruskin Dam, $780 million; and proceed with the Site C project, almost $300 million on studies, consulting and re-design of the dam itself which is apparently an $8 billion dollar project to build.

Now add the smart meter program (a really dumb idea), which will eat up at least $930 million and who knows yet what the real cost will be. Already, thousands have complained of doubling of hydro bills after their installation.

This will also cause the layoff of thousands of meter readers, who have families, live in our communities, pay taxes, buy groceries and raise their kids. Where will they go to work in this stagnant job era?

At a time when we should be reducing and recognizing the seriousness of climate change, we should then be cutting our output of greenhouse gases. Governmentsubsidized energy intensive projects do nothing to encourage conservation.

Eunice Parker, Coquitlam

The Editor, I propose that the suspension cables of the new Port Mann Bridge be illuminated with lights like other famous bridges around the world. It would be even nicer if colourful lights dance with music, like the New York Christmas trees.

Lighted bridges would add beauty to the area.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay and Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart spoke to about 80 people in the Inlet Theatre last Thursday as part of the Tri-City Chamber of Commerce’s annual mayors’ barbecue.

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Mayors serve up laughs at BBQ

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It could’ve been mistaken for a comedy sketch at the start.

But, after the jokes and pokes were over, mayors Richard Stewart, Greg Moore and Mike Clay got down to talk serious business about the state of the Tri-Cities at last Thursday’s sold-out Chamber of Commerce mayors’ barbecue.

Attended by about 80 people, including MP Fin Donnelly and MLAs Doug Hor ne, Diane Thor ne, Mike Far nwor th and Joe Trasolini, at the Inlet Theatre — the first time the annual roast has been held in Port Moody — the “Three Amigos” touched on topics such as business taxes, upcoming centennial celebrations and amalgamation, a subject broached at nearly every mayors’ barbecue.

“Let’s just get this out of the way right now,” PoCo’s Moore began in his two-minute speech.

“I would like to see someone who doesn’t come up and say, ‘Why don’t you do this?’ but instead say, ‘Do this because....’”

Of the last 15 U.S. cities that amalgamated, Moore said their property taxes soared by more than 50% versus municipalities that had stayed whole.

And, Moore stressed, while the Tri-Cities have maintained their unique community identities, they’ve also shared purchases for big-ticket goods and services to save costs.

“We left Coquitlam [district] 100 years ago and haven’ t looked back,” Moore ended.

“And we are better for it,” quipped Coquitlam’s Stewart, who had earlier teased that “the main advantage that Coquitlam has is that we have a much better city council than the other two.”

Port Moody’s Clay, the newbie in the trio having been elected to the top job last November, also put his two cents in on amalgamation:

“Richard Stewart won’t allow it unless he’s the mayor, and nobody wants that.”

M o re o f f - s i d e re m a rk s w e r e m a d e about the green fenc-

ing used as the backdrop, provided by the barbecue sponsor and Chamber member Econo-Pro, which the mayors said was a good setting for a mixed-

martial arts tussle.

RIVERVIEW STORIES

Exercise energized patients Riverview’s lush, green grounds, and the activities on them, were seen as beneficial to the patients who were treated there but a young recreational therapy worker had some other ideas for helping the people there

THIS SERIES

• In the next few months, as Riverview Hospital closes and the property approaches its 100th anniversary in 2013, The TriCity News will publish a series of articles by reporters Sarah Payne and Diane Strandberg about the people who worked, lived and had family there.

Next week: The nurses

In 1913 when West Lawn opened, the Riverview Hospital property, then called Essondale, was a newly clearcut development with views down to the Coquitlam River and a few hundred patients.

But by 1955, Riverview’s patient population had swelled to more than 4,700 people and the mental hospital resembled a company town, with a fire department, a bank, a school, housing for staff and their children and patients, and amenities such as a gymnasium/theatre and a pool.

Don Cunnings, who later became Coquitlam’s first parks and recreation director, worked at Riverview from 1953 to 1958 and was instrumental in encouraging patients to be physically active.

By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

I

t was a warm day in June and the trees on the Riverview property, then known as Essondale, were in bloom. The sweeping lawns were abuzz with activity and Don Cunnings, a young recreational therapy worker, was feeling the zest for life and a sense of competition that only a sports day can bring.

He’d been a competitive gymnast for many years and taught tumbling and hand balancing at Notre Dame de Lourdes school in Maillardville. But this day in June 1954 was particularly exciting because Cunnings had a surprise for the staff and patients of the provincial psychiatric hospital.

A group of gymnasts was going to create pyramid shapes, balancing each other using their arms, shoulders and legs.

Dressed all in white with their crisp, shortsleeved shirts and shorts, they were a smart-looking group and even the nurses in their starched uniforms stopped to watch. The Leader, a hospital newsletter, praised the demonstration by the talented “visitors” and Cunnings’ heart nearly burst with pride.

The athletes were not visitors but patients, and the display proved that people with mental health issues could be physically fit, learn new skills and look well-dressed, and confident, if given the chance. True, one boy, an epileptic (epilepsy is not a mental illness), had to be convinced to climb on top of a vaulting box to do the display but Cunnings told him: “They’re not going to drop you. You’re part of a team,” and the youth complied.

It was a lesson that served Cunnings well throughout his later career. “It sensitized me to focus on the whole person... to see that patient holistically,” says the former director of parks and recreation for the city of Coquitlam. He also learned the value of teamwork, which he has tried to pass on to others over the years.

Today, Cunnings’ efforts to bring some normalcy and physical activity to the lives of Riverview patients might seem quaint and outdated. Today, people with mental health issues are no longer separated from the community and physical activity is seen as a key determinant of quality of life. With 20% of Canadians expected to experience a mental illness in their lifetime, and new medications and therapies available to improve outcomes, the stigma attached to diseases such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders and eating disorders is no longer acceptable. With supports, people with these issues can live successfully in the community.

But that wasn’t the view in the mid-1950s, when Cunnings was a 25-year-old rec therapy worker at the hospital. In those days, confining people to hospital wards was common practice, and Riverview was considered a safe and secure asylum away from the stresses of community life.

It also had some of the finest recreational facilities in the city, Cunnings recalled. The first pool was built at Riverview, in a Boys Industrial School for juvenile delinquents, and the grounds had the area’s first recreational centre with a theatre, audio-visual department and a bowling alley.

“It was so far ahead of anything in Coquitlam,” Cunnings recalled.

There were movies on Monday and Tuesday evenings at Pennington Hall, famous groups like The Ink Spots were brought in to perform, and Cunnings remembers the dances with fondness.

“I can still call a square dance,” he jokes, giving a spirited display of his square-dance-calling skills.

Yet there was a dark side to living in a hospital environment. Although there were efforts to the improve patients’ quality of life with therapy, entertainment and special events, little thought was given to providing patients with opportunities for physical activity. As a result, many patients became overweight and suffered from other health concerns.

Cunnings was hired to work at the rec therapy department because of comments he made about the need for physical activity for patients when he was visiting with his school gymnastics team. At the time, patients were exercised in “airing courts” but that wasn’t enough.

“I talked about some views I had about recreation and how it could play a positive role in the life of a patient,” Cunnings said. And so, he found himself head-hunted for a job.

He had no experience dealing with mental health patients and found himself facing some difficult situations. There were men in a “catatonic” state who stood like statues for long periods and were gaining an unhealthy amount of weight — and Cunnings was asked to do something about them.

He also had to develop programs for people recovering from a lobotomy, then considered a calming therapy, so they could recover their sense of balance.

Cunnings experimented with trampoline activities for the lobotomy patients and it seemed to help; a few became skilled and put on displays during sports day. But the catatonic patients needed a different therapy.

One day while attending a dance, he noticed how music galvanized people into action; men and women who started the evening like statues at the edge of the room began to move and mingle once the music started. The observation triggered an idea and Cunnings hauled a music recorder on wheels into the room where the “catatonic” men sat like stones. He put on a rousing march and stood back to see what would happen.

“Well, these catatonics went from statues to marchers.”

“Music played such a profound role [at Riverview], I always did calisthenics to music and Friday night dances were particularly special for so many patients.”

Life at Riverview was routine for people who lived and worked their — with a few amazing moments thrown in and Cunnings has fond memories of those years. He met his future wife, Betty, at the hospital while she was doing post-grad work, and has many photos and stories of those days. see CUNNINGS CUNNINGS,, page 15

Books help parents waiting for their child’s first words

A GOOD READ Leanne Harvey “My child isn’t using words yet.”

“People have a hard time understanding my son.”

“My daughter doesn’t speak in full sentences.”

Parents whose children have speech delays understand the anxiety these statements carry.

Speech development is one of the most eagerly anticipated milestones in early childhood. What will their first word be: Mama?

Dada? iPad? For some parents, however, anticipation can turn to stress when the long-awaited event is a no-show. In many cases, the answer is simply to give it time. For some others, there may be a need for further assessment leading to intervention.

So how do you know?

When should you be concerned? Knowledge is key when it comes to advocating for your child. Your local library has resources to help you ask the right questions when speaking with your family doctor and other medical prac-

titioners.

• The Late Talker: What to Do If Your Child Isn’t Talking Yet by Marilyn C. Agin n and Lisa F. Geng: This book has effective, practical answers to the questions every parent asks about speech delays. It explains the difference between a speech delay and a speech disorder, provides information on how to get the proper evaluations and therapy, and offers speech-stimulating activities for parents and children to do at home.

• Childhood Speech, Language an Listening Problems: What Every Parent Should Know

by Patricia McAleer Hamaguchi: This insightful guide is written by a speech-language pathologist with more

than 30 years of experience with children.

Thoughtfully written, Part 1 “What You Should Know and How to Get Help” contains useful information on language development, age-appropriate milestones and potential warning signs. It also tells you what you can expect should your child need further assessment.

• It Takes Two to Talk: A Practical Guide for Parents of Children with Language Delays by Jan Pepper r and Elaine Weitzman: This guide is highly recommended by speech and language pathologists across the province. It follows the principles set out by the Hanen Centre, a child-centred learning program that teaches language development through everyday activities. Learn about OWL (observe, wait and listen), create communication opportunities at every turn and foster language acquisition through play.

• Building Oral Language Skills in PreK–K by Cindy Middendorf: f This book will show you “dozens of easy, research-based

ideas that develop children’s listening, speaking and vocabulary skills, and lay the foundation for reading success.” With more than 20 years experience as a kindergarten teacher, the author draws on a broad base of activities, lessons, and strategies to increase your child’s oral language skills.

With rhymes, action stories and songs, she demonstrates how to boost social skills through language, and how to encourage language development at home.

Along with your medical practitioner’s guidance, the books listed above provide excellent advice and practical tips for helping your child develop language skills.

Every child is unique and develops at his/her own pace. Parents and caregivers searching for background information on a variety of child development topics, and parenting advice from experts, will find it at their library.

A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday.

TC talent at TUTS for summer Theatre Under The Stars marks its 66th season at Malkin Bowl with musical stories a century old

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

T

wo Tri-City young “triple threats” will perform in Tony award-winning plays — set a century ago — at Stanley Park’s Malkin Bowl this summer as part of Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS).

Pinetree graduate Jessica Marshall portrays firstclass passenger Mrs. Marian Longstreth Thayer, the wife of Pennsylvanian Railroad VP John Borland Thayer, in Titanic: The New Musical, while Aspenwood elementary student Nathan Piasecki has a role in the kids’ band ensemble in The Music Man. Both shows open this week and run alternating nights until Aug. 18 for TUTS’ 66th season.

Marshall, 23, will make her debut with TUTS; however, Piasecki, 10, is back on stage for a second time, having played the little brother in last year’s Bye Bye Birdie.

The former Lindbjerg Academy student has other credits to be proud of including with the Royal City Musical Theatre (Hello, Dolly!; Will Rogers Follies) and with Footlight Theatre (Wizard of Oz, Whole Lotta Latkes, Of Course There Are Fairies, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat). t “I auditioned for TUTS again this year because Bye Bye Birdie was very enjoyable and I wanted to spend my summer there again,” the Grade 5

student said. “You get to try a lot of new things....

Everything you do in the show, you feel like you have a part in it.”

Piasecki has four numbers in Act 1 and three for the second act. To keep his energy levels up, he brings a cooler full of snacks, which he gulps down during intermission.

He also draws from the crowd. “They’re smiling and clapping, and that’s what gets you motivated for the rest of the show,” Piasecki said.

Marshall said Titanic: The Musicall is also upbeat — at least for the first half. wThe Coquitlam resident said the production

c ap t u re s t h e d re a m s o f a generation travelling overseas to make a better life. “The whole first act is really colourful and hopeful,” she said. “It’s PIASECKI MARSHALL not until after we crash that it gets a little depressing.”

Marshall said she was pleased to win a TUTS role, which she anticipates will kick off her musical theatre career: she recently graduated from Capilano University’s musical theatre diploma program, the only one of its kind on the west coast.

Previously, the former Broadway Bound student appeared in high school shows such as Footloose, Honk Jr. and Chicago, under teachers Shanda Walters and Nicole Roberge. And she has also performed with Cap U Theatre’s Exit 22 (Hello, Dolly!, Cinderella) and Arbutus Studio ((A Little Night Music). c Two years ago, she saw TUTS’ Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Singing in the Rain, as well as Bye Bye Birdiee last year, “and I loved them. I knew this was the year I was going to audition. I just thought it was a great place to work with great directors that has a good family vibe,” she said. “And it was something to do all summer that could really jump start my career after graduating.”

Gabriel Pietrzak doesn’t look like yo u r ave r a g e Catholic high school product.

The 17-year-old recent graduate of Archbishop Car ney secondary has stretched piercings in both ear lobes, a tattoo on his arm and a ring on below his lip.“It’s a little different for this school,” he admits, glancing at his alma mater.

But it’s part of his act.

Pietrzak is the lead guitarist, backup vocalist, co-songwriter and assistant manager for Love Sick Kids, a five-piece unsigned pop-rock band — founded a year ago — that lists Marianas Trench, Hit the Lights and A Day to Remember as influences.

Last fall, it released a three-track EP called Love or Heartbreak, which can be heard via Yo u T u b e a n d , soon, iTunes.

And, despite the constant member change-ups — a common theme with pop-rock bands — Love Sick Kids has managed to play a couple of see VCC VCC,, page 24

Artist Adrienne Peacock, with her acrylic painting titled Nasturtiums, outside of her Belcarra home, one of nine gardens to be featured in the first annual Art in the Garden Tour on July 15.

Art blooms from the gardens Take a peak at private Tri-City gardens, view original art and hear live music Sunday during the first annual Art in the Garden Tour.

Org anized by the Port Moody Arts Centre Society, the self-guided tour runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features nine lush gardens — including one in a Japanese style — in Port Moody, Anmore and Belcarra, ranging in size from a city lot to a two-acre estate.

At least one or two artists will be exhibiting

and selling their wares at each location.

Society spokesperson Des Wilson said the tour is similar to those put on by the arts council in North Vancouver, and in Victoria. And all proceeds will go to support the arts locally, he said.

Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the PoMo Arts Centre (2425 St. John’s St.); Art Knapp (1300 Dominion Ave., Port Coquitlam); Backyard Bird Centre (Newport Village); and Thrifty Foods (Suter Brook).

As an added bonus, the society will offer $100 in a contest for the best photograph submitted of the tour.

Meanwhile, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday, a free art and garden fair will happen at PMAC that will include a plant and garage sale, a silent auction, and artists’ and a mason bee demonstra-

tions. Among the goods up for grabs are jewellery, paintings and wood carvings, including from former Port Moody mayor David Driscoll.

Three master gardeners from Vancouver’s famed Van Dusen Botanical Gardens will also be on hand to answer questions from greenthumbs.

• Visit pomoarts.ca.

A reception will be held tomorrow (Thursday) at 6 p.m. to launch a new summer exhibit by PMAC instructors.

The display, which runs until Aug. 19, features the work of Eyrne Donahue, Pauline Doyle, C h a n t e l G o l l e r, Ngaire Halina, Rosemary Hanna, Colette Lisoway, Lili Masbough, Amanda Maxwell, Tammy Pilon, Sarah Ronald, Parisa Shafazand, Jacqueline Sheridan, Carolyn Sullivan, Clive Tucker and Agata Teodorowicz.

gigs over the past few months, including at Vancouver’s Tom Lee Music Hall.

Pietrzak picked poprock “because I really like how you can move around the stage with it,” he said. “With metal [music], you have to concentrate on the riffs.

But I like to have fun and jump around with the crowd.”

Still, the Coquitlam teen has a serious side — not to mention a wide repertoire.

This fall, Pietrzak will start a four-year music diploma program at Vancouver Community College, where he will study jazz/contemporary guitar.

Later, he plans to earn his bachelor’s degree in applied music then complete the teacher education program at UBC. Teaching music at the secondary school level is his passion.

“I like to help kids learn something new so that they can feel better about themselves,” Pietrzak said. “I think it’s a very satisfying job.... I feel like if I can pursue this goal, I will be as happy as I can be.”

He credits his Carney music teachers, Amy Stephen and Evelyn Young, for encouraging him.

A Car ney student since Grade 8, Pietrzak has played guitar and trumpet in the jazz and concert bands and been in the concert choir.

They suggested he sign up with the VCC’s Guitar Workshop (focusing on improvisation, soloing, music theory and performance) as well as Douglas College’s Summer Jazz Intensive Program.

Steven said Pietrzak has been musically driven since the junior grades: twice, he won school’s concert band

award and, in Grade 11, was named the instrumental performer of the year at Carney.

“And now, upon graduation, he is very mature, focused and professional in his attitude towards his music studies, which I think bodes very well for his future in the industry,” Steven said. “He is proud of his professional work so far with the band and I could see his excitement when he shared the band’s new songs and recordings with us in class.”

She added, “It’s always great to be involved in teaching a young person who fol-

lows their passion and takes it to a high standard. You know they’re going to give some great music back to the world.”

A guitar player since eight, Pietrzak said he got serious with his studies two years later.

Pietrzak is also well rounded with different genres, be it classical music or heavy metal rock. “I think it’s important to really open yourself up to what’s out there and learn new techniques,” he said, “and I want to pass that on to my students. I think the more variety, the better.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Change of perspective for drawing group

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Every week for 35 years, Coquitlam’s Suite E Life Drawing Group has been putting graphite pencil or charcoal to paper as it interprets unclothed professional models.

But, for its upcoming exhibit that opens tomorrow (Thursday) at Place des Arts, the 50-member club decided to add a bit of spice to its resume — not just in its focus but also in the media it uses while in life drawing sessions.

“We wanted to do something other than specifically figuratives,” spokesperson Tracey Costescu said. “We wanted a theme to be what we see in everyday life, and how we transform that into something more and give it a bit of beauty.”

The result of their collaboration — to be shown from July 12 to Aug. 4 at the Maillardville centre — is called Around the Inlet, a collection of multi-media artwork from 11 members who show landscapes, birds and, of course, nautical images around the Port Moody Inlet.

The 11 participating artists are: Costescu, Joyce Evans, Yoshi Kamei, Adrienne Peacock, Myda

IMAGE SUBMITTED

Late in the Day by Myda Schmidt.

Schmidt, Christina Yurchuk, Irene LaCharite, Sahar McCullough, Diane Norrie, Don Portelance and Shelley Ross.

Costescu said Suite E used to exhibit annually at Place des Arts; however, now they’re allowed to show every other year to make space for other local talent. In the time in between, Suite E uses other venues such as Port Coquitlam’s Leigh Square Community Arts Village — not only to display its pieces but also to get the word out about what it does.

“We especially like showing at Place des Arts because they have a lot of students around and we want to encourage them to join our group,” she said, adding, “Studying the human form is never boring.”

• The opening reception for Around the Inlet starts at 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 12 at Place des Arts (1122 Brunette Ave.) Admission is free. Visit www.placedesarts.ca.

Meanwhile, Suite E will host a six-hour sustained workshop (with the model resting every 30 minutes after holding a pose) for new and experienced artists on July 21 in the Howe Room at the Poirier community centre (630 Poirier St., Coquitlam). The cost is $45. To sign up, email mydalena@shaw.ca or visit MyArtClub.Com/Suite.E. jwarren@tricitynews.com

A’s surge past Shamrocks Gal golfer 2nd in B.C. by erupting in final frame

By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Adanacs saved their best for the last 20 minutes Saturday night.

Down 8-5 heading into the third period, the Adanacs whipped in four unanswered goals in an eight-minute span to trip the Victoria Shamrocks 9-8 in Western Lacrosse Association action at Poirier Sports Complex.

The victory left Coquitlam with a fourth-place record of 6-6-0, while the second-place Shamrocks dipped to 7-5-0.

Despite getting out-scored 5-1 in the second frame, the A’s were not playing badly and were full credit for the win, according to their head coach Bob Salt.

“I think we played really well,” Salt told The Tri-

City News. “We had a lot of chances [in the first two periods] but we weren’t putting the ball in the net.

We just kept plugging away and finally it paid it off.”

A’s rookie Ryan Johnson got the ball rolling in the final frame when he netted his third goal of the game 7:53 in, followed by markers by Dane Dobbie, Jon Harnett and Dobbie again.

Kevin Olson, Mark Negrin and Jason Jones struck net earlier for the A’s, who got a stellar 31save performance from goalie Nick Rose.

The Adanacs host the Shamrocks again Saturday at Poirier at 7 p.m. before visiting the 2-10-1 Burrards in Maple Ridge on Sunday.

“They [Shamrocks] are going to be gunning for us, for sure,” Salt said. “They think they got robbed but we don’t think so. We deserved it.”

Port Coquitlam’s Soo-Bin Kim finished second Friday but still won a spot on Team BC for the Royale Cup Canadian women’s amateur golf championship July 24-27 in Lethbridge, Alta.

Kim fired birdies on holes four, six, seven and 10 but she couldn’t catch a sizzling Christine Wong at the B.C. women’s amateur championship at Christina Lake Golf Club.

The Richmond native Wong followed up her third-round course record 65 with a two-under-par 70 to finish with a 274 total, four strokes better than the runner-up Kim. “Soo-Bin is an excellent player, a clutch player and was able to a few birdies and narrow my lead, which

made me more nervous,” Wong said.

“I had to tell myself that I still had the lead at that point.”

After Kim pulled within three shots, Wong went on her birdie run, carding three in a row on holes 11, 12 and 13 to regain control.

“Right when [Kim] got [within] three, I was able to make three birdies in a row and get it back,” Wong said. “I was more myself on the back nine.”

Kim ended with an impressive four-round score of 70-70-71-67-278, three shots better than third-place finisher Megan Osland of Kelowna in the 41-finisher field. Wong, Kim and Osland all earned tickets to the Canadian amateur event later this month in Lethbridge.

PoCo’s Anica Yoo was ninth with 72-73-72-72-289.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

www.tricitynews.com

Born in Tunapuna, Trinidad on January 24, 1933. Passed away after a brave battle in Port Moody, BC on July 3, 2012, aged 79. Beloved husband of Florence; best father to David (predeceased), Shanti (Chris), Christine (Aidan) and Katie (Kyle); loyal brother to surviving brothers Peter and David and to predeceased siblings Krishna, Paul, Gemma and Danny; and fantastic Papa to Markus, Jordan and Sophie. Wise, selfless and hardworking, Jim grew up in Trinidad, sailed alone on the boat to England to work as a teacher and air radar technician and then, never one to shirk a challenge, emigrated to Canada (again on the boat) and decided to study dentistry (in French) in Montreal. With the loyal assistance of Florence, Jim determinedly built successful dental practices (and the actual offices themselves) in Port Coquitlam, Prince Rupert and Shaunavon, Saskatchewan while also investing wisely in real estate. During retirement, he enjoyed the company of his family, traveling, poetry, gardening, BC Lions games and BBC news. Jim achieved a great deal in his life but most of all he loved his family and will be greatly missed.

Go with the flow Jim. Right on man!

A celebration of Jim’s life was held on July 9th, 2012.
